The changes in the expression on Yang Guang's face undoubtedly fell into the eyes of the ministers, and Yu Wenshu chuckled in his heart, secretly screaming that it was not good.

Sure enough, after Yang Guang read the letter, he said with a relieved expression:

"As Su Wei said, King Qin's favoritism can't help Yang Yue's head, it is related to the sacrifice of the temple, he can still carry it, and at this time it has been decided, so I will stop it."

Yang Guang means that Yang Ming will not forget his ancestors because he shielded Yang Yue.

After speaking, Yang Guang ordered Gao Ye to burn the letter.

Only Yang Guang knows what is written in the letter, and he doesn't plan to let others read it.

Yang Xuan couldn't feel it, he couldn't swallow this breath, so he got up and said:

"Your Majesty, Uncle Yang Yue is responsible for sacrificing to the temple, and on this important occasion, there are rumors in Yushitai that slander him, and his heart can be punished."

Yang Guang suddenly frowned: "I have just said it, this matter is over, didn't you hear it?" ”

Yang Xuangan's cheeks twitched, and he hurriedly said, "The minister is guilty", and then retreated.

Next, Yang Guang read some notes, including about the reform of local administration, about the construction of palaces on both sides of the canal, and about He Ruobi's family property statistics.

Looking at the general and knowing the whole picture, just looking at He Ruobi's family property, Yang Guang has a rough estimate of the family property of many ministers who are still in the palace.

Among these people, there is no one who is not greedy, but it is just a matter of being greedy for more and less.

Yang Guang actually didn't care much about the minister's corruption, because it was too normal, and even if someone was short of money, he would find a way to make up for the other party.

Wei, Zhou, and Qi, including the Great Sui, were actually all regimes controlled by the Gaomen lords, and the emperor was just the one who led everyone to make money together.

After Yang Jian established the country, he played such a role, and only by protecting the interests of all parties could he, the emperor, sit firmly.

By Yang Guang's generation, there was already the idea of weakening this phenomenon, and if he wanted to weaken the influence of the Guanlong group, he had to support the Shandong Shi Group and the Jiangnan Shi Group.

He felt that he could do it in his lifetime.

This is actually a process from domineering to kingship, this process normally requires at least several generations of emperors to work hard to achieve results, but if there is a stupid emperor in the middle, this thing will be abandoned halfway.

The one who pretends to be benevolent is the tyrant with strength, and the king who is benevolent with virtue.

During the Yang Jian period, due to the situation, he could only increase the severity of the law, rule the world with hegemony, suppress the common people with power, and consolidate the country while ensuring the interests of the gate lords.

But hegemony cannot be sustained, and civil unrest will inevitably arise in the long run, and then there will be a long transition period, the most important point of which is the reduction of punishment and the reduction of the law.

Then it is imperative to change the law.

"Gaozu is profoundly forbidden from the net, and the punishment is severe, when Chengping is today, I think that the law should be revised," Yang Guang looked at Niu Hong when he said this.

Niu Hong is a super university scholar, and he has experience in this area, and the law of opening the emperor is presided over by Gao Gong and revised by Su Wei and Niu Hongfu.

Niu Hong nodded and said: "Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and there are some slumps in the law, which are no longer suitable for today, and there is indeed a need to revise them." ”

This kind of thing, except for Su Wei, no one else can interject, so they can only listen obediently.

Yang Guang nodded and said: "I will give you a general direction, except for the ten evils, all punishments will be reduced to light, and all death sentences will be avoided as appropriate." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused.

The most important thing is to get rid of the ten evils.

What are the Ten Evils? The Kaihuang Law changed the "Ten Articles of Serious Crimes" of the Northern Qi Law to the "Ten Evil Articles", which is the earliest prototype of the crime of ten heinous crimes.

The ten evils are rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, rebellion, disobedience, disrespect, unfilial piety, disharmony, injustice, and civil strife.

And Yang Guang's rule of eliminating the ten evils does not mean that there will be no such crime in the future, but that the punishment will be reduced.

For example, in it, the conspiracy of the great rebellion, the conspiracy of the great rebellion means that the conspiracy is not carried out, that is, you plan to rebel, but you are arrested before you start.

The punishment for plotting against the great rebellion is: those who plot but fail to do it are hanged, fathers and sons are hanged over the age of 16, mothers and daughters, wives and concubines, grandchildren, brothers, sisters and subordinates, assets, and fields and mansions are hanged, and uncles and brothers' sons are all hanged for 3,000 miles.

There is no precedent for the Nine Clans in the Great Sui so far, but the first one to be punished by the Nine Clans in history is none other than Yang Xuangan, who is currently sitting in the hall.

Interestingly, although everyone was very confused, no one stood up against it, because they were also afraid that they would accidentally be charged with a crime in the future and end up ruining their families.

No one is clean, and the emperor thinks that whoever is clean is clean.

Yang Guang's mitigating criminal law, whether it is the gate lord clan or the common people, will benefit, so Yu Wenshu was the first to stand up:

"Your Majesty, once this law is opened, it will inevitably be stable in the four seas and praised by the world."

Su Wei was also very surprised, he read the Confucian classics, and naturally knew that the reduction of criminal law was for the sake of reassuring the people.

Your Majesty today, far-sighted.

But in fact, in history, because of the uprisings in various places at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang once again increased the criminal law, which was heavier than the Kaihuang Law.

Niu Hong nodded and said: "Before the end of the year, it should be completed, and it will be implemented next year, just right." ”

"In that case, let's go back," Yang Guang got up, and the ministers sent each other.

Liuzhutang,

This place is more famous than Jiangdu Palace in history, because after Yang Guang was killed by the Yuwen brothers, he was buried here by Empress Xiao.

But the current Liuzhu Hall is a place where Yang Guang is looking for joy.

Wu Jiangxian, you say how beautiful she is, in fact, you can't talk about it, but this woman can make Yang Guang indulge in her style, you know that she must have a specialty.

Yang Guang's harem now also has infighting, except for Queen Xiao, everyone else is competing for favor, and Wang Zhuling, who was like a pure white lotus flower earlier, is not immune now.

The reason is because everyone has no heirs of Yang Guang, and they are all dream keepers.

Empress Xiao will not participate in this kind of intrigue, although there is one less of the third son, but the remaining two are one in Jingshi and the other in Luoyang, whoever dares to fight with her will not be able to get along with herself.

And Queen Xiao didn't bother to restrain them, more often than not, she was watching music and dancing, or reading and playing, to pass the time.

She has lived in Yangzhou with Yang Guang for eleven years, and she has a lot of old friends, so she spends most of her time outside.

Yang Guang and Wu Jiangxian met sincerely, and the two had a lot of fun in Liuzhutang, you chase me, if you chase me, I will let you hehehe......

When Yang Guang was exhausted and lying on the gorgeous blanket on the ground, gasping for breath and resting, Gao Yexing hurriedly ran in outside the door,

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, great joy, Concubine Xiao has given birth."

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, overjoyed, hurriedly got up, put on a piece of clothing at random and walked out:

"Is it the prince?"

Gao Ye said excitedly: "It's Ryuko." ”

After the two left, Wu Jiangxian picked up the clothes on the ground and slowly put them on one by one, just then she was passionate, but now she had empty eyes.

She has lived in Jiangdu Palace for almost a month, so she has naturally heard that His Majesty does not have children with his favorite concubine.

And Concubine Xiao is different, she is the queen's dowry, and only when the queen nods can she give His Majesty a chance to give birth.

So she secretly made up her mind that she must please the queen, as long as she can give birth to a son and a half daughter to His Majesty in the future, she will be able to stand firm in the harem.

Yang Guang finally has another son, but this is a concubine, and it still can't be compared with Yang Ming and Yang Yin.

Yang Gao, take the meaning of bright and bright.

Born in Jiangdu Palace and buried in Liuzhutang, this is the fate of Yang Gao in history, when he died, he was only twelve years old.

......

In November, Yang Ming received news in Beijing and received a younger brother.

On his side, he has to include his fourth brother in the family tree, like Yang Qingyang and them, it is a pity that although he also entered the family tree, he still did not get Yang Guang's approval.

So Yang Gao is the fourth.

This kid also has to call Queen Xiao Mom.

Yang Yinjiang held up her big belly, looking unhappy,

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace, I didn't expect another opponent to emerge in Hengli, but fortunately, it is a concubine."

Yang Ming smiled: "Don't worry, what threat can swaddling children have?" ”

"Alas...... It's just a little worried, after all, my father is in his prime, and the position of the prince is unclear, who knows what the future will look like? Yang Yinjiang touched her stomach and sighed.

Yang Ming comforted: "Don't think about it, things have to come step by step, in a few months, you will be in labor, don't worry about other things, taking care of your body is the big thing." ”

Giving birth to a child in Dasui is a very painful thing, and there is no caesarean section, it is all up to the pregnant woman to give birth.

Some people give birth once, it is like going to a ghost gate, but the chance of survival of the child is not great, when Pei Shuying gave birth, it was not as painful as Yang Yinjiang, one person with one physique.

At present, not only Yang Yinjiang is pregnant with a child, but Li Xiuning also has it, the month is smaller than the princess, but her belly is very big and round, so that Li Xiuning can't walk.

The bigger the child, the more dangerous it is, so the doctor of the Imperial Medical Department is now trying to find a way to lose weight for the child in Li Xiuning's belly.

Because it has been determined, it is not a twin, a single child is so big, it will be very fatal when it is born, and if it is not good, it will be a corpse with two lives.

Li Yuan's wife, Dou, comes early every morning and leaves late at night, she has to supervise her daughter's diet, and if the pregnant woman eats less, the child eats less, so that the fetus can lose weight.

】

So at present, the focus of the palace is on Li Xiuning, if the pregnancy cannot be reduced after eight months, the child will not be easy to give birth.

Chen Shuyi and Yan Xiaotang will help Li Xiuning to take a walk in the back garden of the palace every day, walking a lot, first, to facilitate the correction of the fetal position, and secondly, it will be smooth when they are born.

Li Xiuning cried miserably during this time, and she was also afraid that she would not be able to give Yang Ming a smooth birth, so she gritted her teeth and insisted every day.

His younger brother Shimin has also been by his side, cheering for his sister.

The child in Li Xiuning's womb is his nephew.
