Chapter 217 Buried in Hongdu River
Yang Lihua's last sentence was completely heartfelt, which is why Yang Ming has never dared to be tough with his father.
If you really want to offend your father, it is entirely possible for King Qin to cut him.
He has a lot to do, so he can't lose his rights, otherwise he can't do anything.
Emperor Gaozu Yang Jian, a total of five sons, he personally cleaned up three, who dares to guarantee that Yang Guang will not do this?
So family affection is also something that needs to be maintained, if it is not maintained well, your father will also kill you, and there are not too many emperors in history who have turned their faces from father to son.
The old Yang family is now somewhat withered, and Yang Guang can't rely on any of his brothers, so he won't easily deal with his three sons at the moment.
And Yang Ming also knew in his heart that he would better take it easy in the future, so as not to be demoted to a concubine.
Yang Guang's arrangement at the court meeting yesterday can be described as a stroke of genius, and none of the central elders were offended, but they were successfully dismantled and divided, so that the court could no longer form a force that posed a challenge to the emperor.
I haven't been in court for the past two days, and I'm holding back my big move.
Yu Wenshu, Lai Hu'er, Yang Yue, Pei Yun, Zhang Heng, these are all Daddy's people, and when Guo Yan comes back, in the court, these people are enough to compete with Gao Gong Suwei.
The digging of the canal is probably impossible to stop.
Yang Ming is also weak.
After returning home, he called Yuanwendu and them, and Yang Ming instructed everyone to start preparations, and he wanted to take everyone to leave Beijing and go to Luoyang.
Yang Yinjiang knew that she couldn't get out, because the child was still young, so she hoped that Yang Ming would bring a pillow person in addition to Chen Shuyi.
After thinking about it, Yang Ming decided to take Li Xiuqing with him, not because he liked the new and hated the old, but because Pei Shuying wanted to go back to her parents' house and help Pei Ju copy some classics.
Pei Ju went to Zhangye this time, and the burden on his body was not light, because Comrade Yang Guang had the idea of cleaning up the countries in the Western Regions, so he asked Pei Ju to take a step forward and figure out the situation over there.
Pei Ju has no less diplomatic skills than Changsun Cheng, and others really can't do this kind of thing.
And since he was going to go to other places, he naturally had to bring a lot of books for reference, some of which could be copied by his subordinates, and some of which could not be copied, so he could only use trustworthy people.
Everyone has secrets, and Pei Ju is no exception.
Most of the copies are solitary, and they will inevitably be lost and damaged, so they have to be copied separately.
Books are very precious in the Great Sui, the secretary province with the largest collection of books, basically treasures half of the world's classics, books are knowledge, control knowledge, in order to control people.
Therefore, all the gate valve families also attach great importance to the maintenance and collection of books.
When Yang Ming leaves this time, he will also take Dugu Bailou with him, in order to protect his own safety, as for Dugu Feng'er, stay at home honestly.
Dad's original guard Ma Lao Liu, because of his bald head, failed to follow Yang Guang into the East Palace, and briefly followed Yang Ming for a while, but now he has successfully entered the palace, and it is also the first time since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty to become a Qianniu as a civilian.
At the moment, Da Sui, Daddy has the final say.
Don't say anything that doesn't conform to the ancestral system, in fact, Yang Guang has been reforming the system.
Yang Ming will not leave Beijing by land this time, but will take a boat from the Guangtong Canal all the way to the east, from Tongguan to the Yellow River.
Tongguan is in the downstream of Pujin Pass, and the Yellow River starts from Pujin Pass, and you can sail it, but on the side of Pillar Mountain, you have to be careful, that is, Sanmenxia, because there are too many reefs there and the water is turbulent.
After entering the Yellow River, passing through Shaanxi County and Yuan County, arriving at the wharf of Heyang County, and then crossing the Yellow River in the south, it is Yanshi, and more than 40 miles southwest of Yanshi is Luoyang County.
Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, has been turned into a ruin, and today's Luoyang, built next to the ruins, has no palace scale of the year, but the area is still not small, and it belongs to Henan County.
Henan County leads eighteen counties, and its governance is located in Henan County, and its scale cannot be compared with Luoyang, but it is very close to Luoyang, ten miles away.
After Yang Ming and the others arrived in Luoyang, they would temporarily live in the county seat and preside over the construction of the new capital.
But they haven't left yet, because something happened to Daxing again.
There is news that Liu Shu was infected with miasma and died on the way back, and Yang Awu, the princess of Lanling, as his wife, has been on hunger strike for three days.
"When did this happen?" After Yang Ming received the news, he rushed to the East Palace and asked his eldest brother Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao shrugged his shoulders: "I only heard from A-Niang yesterday, it seems that it was before my father's return to Beijing, and the news has been suppressed, and the news has leaked recently."
Yang Ming frowned and said, "How is the fifth aunt?" Does my father have a visit? ”
"I've been there, but when my father came back, I was very angry, and I dropped a lot of things, and my mother didn't dare to persuade him," Yang Zhao reminded in a low voice: "Father is angry these days, don't bump into him."
Yang Ming nodded, knowing that Yang Zhao was persuading him to leave Beijing as soon as possible, after all, because of the canal matter, he had already made his father angry, and if he bumped into it again at this juncture, he would inevitably be reprimanded.
So he left the palace in a hurry.
As a result, that night, Yang Lihua's maid goddess came to the Qin Palace, and asked Yang Ming to go to the Liushu Mansion immediately, as for what happened, the maid didn't know.
Yang Ming guessed.
When he arrived at Liufu, there were already many people inside, all of them from the Great Sui Clan, and there was not a single foreign minister.
As soon as he entered the backyard, he bumped into Yang Gongren, the secretary of the ministry, and Yang Ming hurriedly asked:
"What's going on?"
Yang Gongren said with a sad face: "The princess is martyred, and a white silk is gone."
"Alas......." Yang Ming sighed and hurried to the direction of the dormitory.
In the room, Yang Guang and his wife and Yang Lihua were there, and the other princesses were also on the way to hear the news, in addition, there were also the crown prince Yang Zhao, Guan Wang Yang Xiong, Cai Wang Yang Zhiji, Hejian Wang Yang Hong and others.
Yang Guang sat on the edge of the couch, his fists clenched, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he was extremely angry.
And Yang Awu's body has been covered with a white cloth.
Seeing Yang Ming coming in, Yang Guang glared at him fiercely, and frightened Yang Ming and hurriedly took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Empress Xiao turned her back and secretly flicked her sleeves at her son, Yang Ming saw this and quietly retreated outside the door.
"Get back!" Yang Guang scolded angrily and said, "Your aunt is gone, don't you even have a tear?"
Grass! What are you angry with me? Yang Ming hurriedly pretended to be frightened and knelt down, and said:
"Erchen just learned about it, and he still doesn't want to believe it."
"What are you yelling at him?" Yang Lihua obviously cried just once, her eyes were red and swollen, but she still spoke out in time to protect Yang Ming, but her mother Xiao Hou didn't dare to speak.
Yang Lihua said: "Ming'er has little contact with Ah Wu when he pees, and men don't cry easily, don't be angry."
Yang Guang still listened to Yang Lihua's words, snorted coldly when he heard this, and said:
"It's all grandpa and aunt who are spoiled, don't listen to people's persuasion, men in the world, how can Liu Shu be alone?"
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Yang Ming thought he was scolding him again, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As he spoke, Yang Guang picked up a piece of white silk on the ground again, with a few lines of blood on it, and only listened to Yang Guang mutter:
"In the past, Jiang swore to himself, wrote a poem before the United States, and passed on the words. Although the concubine is guilty, she admires the ancients. He was not allowed to obey his husband in life, and he died and begged to be buried in the Liu family. ”
"Dead and begging to be buried in Liu's ....... Dead and begged to be buried in Liu's ......." Yang Guangmeng threw away the white silk: "She wants to be buried with Liu Shu's traitor, but I don't want to fulfill her wish."
"Spread my will," Yang Guangchao said to Gao Ye, the inner servant, "Isn't Liu Shu buried in the east of the river?" The princess of Lanling was buried in Hongduchuan (north of Xianyang), and was downgraded to the county lord system for burial, and I couldn't see each other if they died. ”
Yang Lihua's face changed greatly, and she was about to speak, when Yang Guang waved his sleeves, got up and said:
"Sister doesn't need to be persuaded to do so, I have made up my mind."
After that, Yang Guang walked towards the door without looking back, and when he saw Yang Ming again, he said coldly:
"Your aunt is leading (out of the funeral), I don't need you, just do your business."
Yang Ming hurriedly agreed: "Erchen will receive the order and leave tomorrow."
"Humph!" Yang Guang snorted coldly and left.
When the emperor and queen were gone, these people in the remaining room looked at each other one by one, and everyone had different expressions.
The dignified emperor's sister, in the end, was buried in the specifications of the county lord, or a lonely tomb, what is this called?
Historically, it seems that the Qing Dynasty had such a rule that when a princess is buried after marriage, she cannot be buried in the imperial mausoleum, nor can she be buried in her mother-in-law's house, but must choose another place to be buried, which is why so many princess graves across the country are from the Qing Dynasty.
But Da Sui does not have this rule.
After Yang Lihua stood for a long time, she sighed lonely, looked at Yang Ming and said:
"Let's go......"
Yang Ming nodded and retreated.
If yesterday he wasn't sure if Daddy was angry with him, today it's confirmed.
It seems that I will not have a good time in the future,
The next day, Yang Ming, Yang Su and others left Beijing together.
They would take a boat from the 15-mile wharf outside the city, and go all the way east from the Guangtong Canal to the Yellow River.
It is much more comfortable to travel by water than by land, except for the boatman who is in charge of the boat, everyone else is relaxed.
Because the Guangtong Canal is an artificial canal that leads the Wei River into it, the water flow is very slow, and the boats travel on it, which is very stable.
On the river, there is an endless stream of boats, many people enter Beijing, and few people leave Beijing, most of them are grain ships.
The Guangtong Canal is almost the lifeline of Guanzhong, and a steady stream of grain is transported from the Central Plains to supply the Beijing Division.
The road was easy, but everyone's mood was not easy at all.
Especially after reading the drawings drawn by Yu Wenkai,
Not just floor plans, but stacks and stacks of complex drawings.
In addition to the construction of Luoyang, it was necessary to build a granary, and a large number of people from other places needed to be relocated to enrich Tokyo.
"Where do people come from?" Yang Su stared at the drawings and asked with a frown.
At present, Yu Wenkai is most familiar with the specific content of the construction, just listen to him:
"Your Majesty means that in addition to Henan, you will also migrate wealthy families and rich families from Hebei, Shandong, Jiangnan and other places to enrich Luoyang,"
Yang Su nodded: "Your Majesty has any other arrangements, you can tell me about them."
"Okay," Yu Wenkai spread out the drawings and began to explain to everyone.
Yang Ming sat on the main seat, closed his eyes and listened.
