Chapter 201 Leading the Horse and Whipping
Yang Ming, who arrived in Hedong County, received the news and knew that he had become a father.
This is a happy event, but Yang Ming was a little embarrassed when he accepted everyone's congratulations, because he was only sixteen years old this year.
According to the customs of the Great Sui, he can be a grandfather if he is less than forty, but in his concept, he is still a teenager at the age of thirty-five or sixteen.
It's a good thing to have a son, but he really doesn't like to be a father so early.
Because he is the eldest grandson, the emperor and queen must have a lot of rewards, and Yang Su is even more happy, because Yang Ming's son is his great-grandson.
Yang Liang was captured, the dust fell, and Yang Su finally had the opportunity to talk to Yang Ming about other things.
"Is it Gao Gong that Your Majesty asked you to invite?" Hedong County Palace, after the banquet, Yang Su deliberately stayed.
Yang Ming nodded: "Yue Gong is a wise man, he should be able to see the reason." ”
Yang Su said with a smile: "It's not difficult to guess, this is normal, the Supreme asked me to return home back then, and this is the truth, maybe you don't believe it, in fact, I also hope that Gao Gong will come back." ”
"How?" Yang Ming took the initiative to pour wine for him, curious.
Yang Su said with a smile: "The old man is already a very popular minister, Gao Gong is not here, I will become the one who is lost, Gao Gong is back, I am a lot easier, the court is an official, like walking on thin ice, I and Gao Gong can sit in this position for so long, naturally we must know how to follow Your Majesty's thoughts, whether to advance or retreat, only in Your Majesty." ”
Open-minded....... Yang Ming said with a smile: "This time to quell the rebellion, Yue Gong should be the first credit, after returning to Beijing, I will speak for you." ”
】
"Don't," Yang Su waved his hand and said: "Or, Your Highness can pretend to be a gesture and push us, but we will still give you back the credit, because this is in line with Your Majesty's wishes. ”
Yang Ming didn't have much more, in front of Yang Su, there was no need to be coy and play with those vanities.
Whether it is Yang Sushi, long live Guo Yan or the eldest grandson Cheng, these people dare not take credit from themselves, and Yang Guang will never let them take the first credit.
But Yang Su also knew in his heart that Yang Ming would definitely fight for him more, after all, Yang Yinjiang gave birth to a son smoothly, which made Yang Ming's relationship with him one step closer.
Yang Su said earnestly: "In the future, in the court, His Royal Highness must keep a distance from me, and the same is true with Gao Gong, if there is anything, let's talk in private,"
His words are almost exactly the same as what Gao Gong said at the beginning, these two people see it very clearly, and they know that on the bright side, they can't be too close to Yang Ming, because it will make the emperor wary.
But it is also necessary to maintain a good relationship with Yang Ming, because Yang Su can see that Yang Ming's position in the center in the future is very important.
Yang Ming nodded: "I will grasp the severity." ”
Next, the two chatted for a long time, and Yu Zishi separated and returned to their rooms to rest.
Xiao Maha's army, the number of people is too large, it has exceeded the establishment of the royal palace, it is not suitable to bring back to Daxing, can only stay in Hehedong County temporarily, there are not many bandits in Hedong at present, and Yang Ming can only rely on Yang Ming to spend money to support this army.
These sergeants were all born as bandits, they had no land under their names, and they had to spend money to eat and drink, so Yang Ming needed to find a way to settle them as soon as possible.
I was thinking of waiting for the first-class Fang Xuanling in Hedong County, but the news came from Jingshi, and the crown prince Yang Zhao was waiting for him in Chang'anyi.
There was no way, Yang Ming had no choice but to set off the next day.
The 60,000 army was split up when it arrived in Feng Yi County, even if Yang Ming was Yang Guang's own son, Yang Guang would not let him come to the city with 60,000 soldiers.
When he arrived at Chang'anyi, Yang Ming only had his five thousand personal guards in his hands, and the rest of the army was taken away by their respective military governments.
Of these 5,000 people, more than half of them are from the Yue Gong Mansion and Pei Mansion, and after returning to Beijing, they will also return to their respective homes.
The crown prince Yang Zhao was dressed in court clothes and personally greeted him, Yang Ming hurriedly dismounted, the latter stepped forward quickly, grabbed the reins, held Yang Ming with the other hand, and walked to the official post.
Yang Ming smiled bitterly: "Why is the eldest brother like this? ”
Yang Zhao laughed and said: "This time to quell the rebellion, Anbang's work, the eldest brother has not contributed at all, and he can't lead the horse for you?" ”
"If the eldest brother wants to do this again, I won't go back to Beijing," Yang Ming hurriedly went to pull the horsewhip.
The prince personally led the horse and carried the whip, which was an extremely grand courtesy, but Yang Ming didn't want it, because they were brothers, so they couldn't do this.
Yang Zhao stopped him and said, "If you refuse, I will carry you into the palace with someone, and you can choose for yourself." ”
Yang Ming knew that his eldest brother had always done what he said, and if he resigned, people would dare to carry him away.
Therefore, he could only smile bitterly again and again, and let Yang Zhao drag him away.
In the official post, the two sat down to drink tea, and on the side of Daxing City, they calculated the auspicious time, and only when the auspicious time arrived, Yang Ming and they would enter the city.
Mingde Gate, the city gate is wide open, and hundreds of officials greet it.
Yang Zhao rode in front, pulling Yang Ming's reins, and went straight into the imperial city, with Yang Su, Guo Yan, and the frightened Qiao Zhongkui following behind.
Suzaku Street, the people are welcomed.
Under the gate of the imperial city, a red carpet was spread from the Suzaku Gate to the Daxing Palace.
Yang Zhao took Yang Ming's hand all the way and entered the main hall.
"How should I reward you for such a great achievement?" Yang Guang saw his son come back, stood in front of the throne and smiled.
Yang Ming hurriedly knelt down: "It's all thanks to the blessing of my father, if I don't have my father to control the overall situation and deploy and plan, how can my sons and ministers go so smoothly?" ”
As soon as he said this, the ministers also saluted Yang Guang and congratulated Yang Guang.
Yes, whoever you steal merit with, you can't rob it with the emperor, especially Yang Guang really feels that he has merit.
First, with the right person,
Second, military resources and grass, strategic deployment, and proper planning,
Third, absolute decentralization, so that Yang Ming and the others led a large army outside and were not constrained.
It's really a credit.
Yang Guang was high-spirited and extremely happy, and accepted the congratulations of the ministers.
He is really happy, because he has always known that many people feel that they are not in the right position, and now the king of Han has rebelled and has been suppressed in just one month, which shows that he is the orthodox emperor blessed by the emperor.
Besides, who can compare to the sons of my son?
Doesn't this mean that I am the chosen emperor?
Of course, Yang Ming is the commander, the rebels were suppressed by him, and he is his own son, Yang Guang will not be stingy with rewards.
There are a lot of money, grain, land, cloth, and slaves, but it is not easy to seal it, because Yang Ming is a prince, and there are only the prince and the emperor on it, so there is no way to seal it.
And the prince is not awarded the title, because he looks down on it.
The daughter-in-law Yang Yinjiang is also not easy to seal, so she can only mention the second-grade foreign wife of the side concubine Pei Shuying to the first grade.
directly named Yang Ming's infant son Yang Rui as the king of Hedong.
Now it's okay, the palace of Hedong County can be left to his son.
On Yang Ming's side, Yang Guang handed over the Right Military Guard Mansion vacated by Yang Liang to Yang Ming, that is to say, Yang Ming is also a general of two military mansions, and this is the first time since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty.
Because of his military achievements in quelling the rebellion this time, his prestige in the army has been greatly enhanced, and it has become a natural thing to take over the military government.
As for Yang Su and Guo Yan, they were both their sons, and Shi Wansui and Changsun Cheng, who were far away in Bingzhou, also had rewards.
Yang Guang is still powerful, not only did he dispose of Qiao Zhongkui, but also sealed the Zhu State and appointed him as the assassin of Jinzhou.
Qiao Zhongkui kowtowed more than a dozen times in one breath, and snorted and cried in the court.
As for Li Jing, with the help of Yang Ming and Yang Su, he was promoted to the rank of general, the third rank of the honor.
As long as one day in the future, Li Jing can be knighted, he can be regarded as a real support, and there is still a long way to go.
This is fate, his eldest brother Li Duan attacked the county prince of Yongkang early, and as the second son, if he wants to be knighted, he can only climb up step by step by himself.
That night, Yang Guang feasted the ministers, and of course Yang Ming had to stay.
During the banquet, hundreds of officials toasted him one after another, and the crown prince Yang Zhao all followed for his younger brother, which was also the first time Yang Ming had seen what it meant to be drunk without a thousand cups.
Yang Zhao can really drink, until the end of the banquet, he is still standing.
Yang Guang did not keep him because Yang Ming had not returned home to visit his wife and children after returning to Beijing, and sent guards to escort Yang Ming back to the palace, and gave Yang Ming a five-day vacation, and returned to the court after five days.
In the bedroom, Yang Ming saw his ...... for the first time Son.
It's wrinkled, it's not good-looking at all, and there's a milky smell on its body.
Little Yang Rui, ridiculous and ridiculous.
With an identity like Yang Yinjiang, there is no need to bother to take care of her son, and there are four nurses alone.
Yes, she doesn't have enough milk, which is very unexpected to Yang Ming, and it shouldn't be like this.
Since Yang Ming came in, all her attention has not been removed from Yang Ming, although the nurse advised that His Royal Highness has the wind and cold of the night, and it is not appropriate to approach during the confinement period, but Yang Yinjiang doesn't care about these at all.
"Every day in the future, you will have to spare an hour to accompany me and the child," Yang Yinjiang knew that Yang Ming would not stay here tonight, so he looked reluctant.
Yang Ming soothed: "Don't worry, as long as you have time, I will come over to accompany you." ”
It was getting late, and although Yang Yinjiang was reluctant, she knew that her husband had just returned to Beijing and needed to rest more than her.
As long as she comes back, she will be at ease when she comes back.
"You go to Shuyi tonight, as for the reason, you will know when you go," Yang Yinjiang instructed.
Yang Ming nodded, he had already roughly guessed in his heart.
Pei Shuying, who had been waiting outside the door, saw Yang Ming come out, took his hand directly, and walked towards Chen Shuyi's bedroom.
She didn't enter Yang Yinjiang's bedroom with Yang Ming because of where the newborn lives, according to superstition, outsiders can't mess in, for fear of bringing bad things in.
The nurses and slaves who are responsible for serving are also born on the eight characters, and they have to tie a red rope, anyway, there are a lot of sayings, and they are quite exquisite.
Yang Ming is his own father, and he is also a battlefield commander with a strong yang energy, superstitionally speaking, evil things will hide from him, so he can enter.
Halfway through, Pei Shuying said: "Shuyi has eaten very little these days, the whole person is haggard, and she doesn't talk to anyone, I can't persuade her, during this time, you can accompany her well." ”
Yang Ming asked, "What happened?" ”
Pei Shuying sighed: "Chen Shubao died of illness, died in Luoyang, and now he has been buried." ”
Although it was expected, Yang Ming still admired his father's quick and decisive move, and in such a big battle in the north, there was still effort to deal with Chen Shubao.
This Empress Chen, who has been criticized a lot in the history books, finally died, in the same year as Yang Jian.
As for how the father did it, Yang Ming will never know.
Pei Shuying was sent outside the dormitory, gave Yang Ming a look, and quietly retreated.
The room is still lit, indicating that Chen Shuyi is not sleeping, if this girl is not on her mind, she will definitely go to meet her outside the house.
In fact, before Yang Ming entered the mansion, when he didn't see Chen Shuyi outside the mansion, he guessed this result.
Pushing open the door, Chen Shuyi, who looked haggard, instantly broke down and cried after seeing Yang Ming, and threw herself directly into Yang Ming's arms, crying loudly
"I don't have grandpa anymore......"
