Chapter 354
Under the all-out efforts of Yang Ming, the joint secondment of Gao Gong and Su Wei, and the full opposition of Yu Wenshu and others, Shi Wansui was successfully promoted to the Duke of Lu and entered the ranks of the Duke of the Great Sui.
The previous Duke of Lu in the Great Sui was Yu Qingze, but Yu Qingze was killed for the crime of treason, so the position of Guogong was also removed, although after Yang Guang ascended the throne, Yu Qingze was rehabilitated, but his son had no chance to inherit the title.
It was already evening after the court meeting, and Yang Ming went to Yong'an Palace to greet his mother and visit his son by the way.
When he knew that Yang Rui was also going to follow him on the northern tour, he was not happy, how old was a little kid, could he endure the long journey?
Empress Xiao's answer to this is: You were just a hundred days old, and you were brought to Daxing from Jiangdu, and the road is not close, isn't it also good?
Yang Ming was speechless.
The next day, before dawn, Yang Ming was already waiting in the imperial city to send off his father and mother from Beijing.
The Yang family clan is also here.
Yang Lihua, who was standing next to Yang Ming, whispered: "Your home remedies are quite effective, the child's (Li Jingxun)'s asthma is almost better, and I have always forgotten to thank you." β
"That's really good," Yang Ming was in a good mood and said with a smile: "As long as the child is healthy, the eldest aunt doesn't have to worry every day." β
Yang Lihua said with a smile: "It can be seen that the water and soil are not adapted, and sometimes it is very scary, I have learned to be obedient this time, listen to your advice, and no longer go out." β
"I hope Yang Rui won't get sick when he goes out this time," Yang Ming said with a wry smile.
Yang Yinjiang, who was standing behind him, looked lonely when she heard this, although she was also wearing a dress, it was an ordinary dress without the slightest embellishment, compared with Pei Shuying's dress beside her, she was humble and judgmental.
Her son is going to go far away, and her mother is naturally anxious, especially after Yang Rui entered the palace, she didn't even have the opportunity to visit.
Now seeing the emperor coming in the distance, Yang Yinjiang hurriedly stood on tiptoe, hoping to see his son.
On the imperial chariot, in the middle of Yang Guang and his wife, there is Xiao Yang Rui, the king of Hedong.
He is very well-behaved now, sitting upright, not squinting, and not moving, because Yang Guang is too strict, so that Yang Rui does not dare to have the slightest gaffe in front of Yang Guang.
Drums sounded, and whips were raised.
Yang Guang walked out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, and then ascended to the Wind Viewing Palace.
The hall is like a behemoth, there are axles below, six on the left and right, three floors high, can accommodate as many as 100 people, the drive of the hall relies on the guards of the lowest layer to shake the oars with manpower, the design is very exquisite.
It is too extravagant, because the palace is too large, so during Yang Guang's northward journey, whenever there is a narrow road, there will be guards to widen it in advance, and it must be paved so that the palace can pass safely.
Yang Guang is also unique in history to play such flowers, but he has set an example for all future generations.
What role model? As long as you don't learn from Yang Guang, you are not a faint king.
He is a negative example among the ancient Chinese emperors, and Li Shimin also has a lesson from the past, as long as he does something against Yang Guang, it must be right.
For example, Yang Guang doesn't like people's advice, so Li Shimin hopes that the minister will advise him more.
Yang Ming led the clan, followed by the palace, followed by the king, the prince, the marquis and the ministers, and the crowd traveled all the way south along the Vermilion Bird Street, in fact, it was more convenient and closer to go out of the city from the Xuanwu Gate and the Jinguang Gate in the west.
But no, you have to go to Suzaku Street, because Yang Guang wants to pretend to be a force in front of the people of Beijing.
Sent out of the city, a full twenty miles, Yang Ming returned to Beijing with a few officials.
This time it is even worse than Yang Guangdong's tour of Luoyang, there are not many officials above the fifth grade, there are not many left, it can be said that government affairs are basically impossible to handle, because those who can make decisions are all gone.
It's child's play.
Nominally, Yang Ming was still the Jingshi garrison, but he didn't want to preside over the court meeting, so he couldn't do anything, so he simply handed it over to Yang Xiong.
Yang Yue and Xuan Gan also left this time, the court was empty, and there were echoes everywhere when they said something.
At present, the Jingshi is not as lively as the spring outing camp.
Du Ruhui's wedding date has arrived, but the old father-in-law Wei Tong is gone, he is the left guard of the East Palace, and he wants to protect the personal safety of Yang Yu, the king of Yan, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and Yang Yu, the acting king.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law is still there, otherwise Du Ruhui wouldn't know who to worship in the high hall.
The crown princess Wei Ying was not taken away this time, and it was the side concubine Yuwen's family, that is, Yuwenshu's daughter.
On the day of the wedding, Yang Ming went to Wei Tong's house, he was a distinguished guest, and naturally Wei Yue, an idler, personally received him.
"Your Highness has made me miserable, why do you recommend me?" Veyo said with a bitter face after sending the others in the hall away.
Yang Ming frowned and said, "What did Gong Wei say?" This king is also kind, why do you complain about me? I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. β
Don't take care of the ditch....... Wei Yao said helplessly:
"Your Highness, don't play with the ministers, since His Highness's recommendation, the people in the clan have asked me one by one, and those who used to be inferior in front of me now dare to accuse me."
Yang Ming pretended to be strange and said: "That's interesting, isn't it a good thing that I recommend you to be a general?" Why do they ask you to sin? Why, they don't want you to be a great general? β
That's it, Wei Yao sighed, "You just didn't say anything." β
Yang Ming smiled: "Okay." β
At this time, there was a subordinate outside the door, and the crown princess came.
Wei Ying and Wei Tong are cousins and sisters, and they belong to Xunguo Mansion and Xiaoyao Mansion respectively, but the relationship between the two of them is too close, it is reasonable to make sense, Wei Ying is going to visit, anyway, she is idle and has nothing to do.
Yang Ming and Wei Yao hurriedly went to the front yard to greet them.
"I can't afford to be greeted by the King of Qin," Wei Ying squeezed out a smile, crossed Yang Ming, and went to the front hall.
Yang Ming was quite embarrassed, his sister-in-law was originally innocent, but when she entered the palace, she couldn't help being naΓ―ve.
Seeing Wei Ying change from the original innocence to the current appearance, Yang Ming was also embarrassed, but he still followed Wei Ying's ass.
After meeting a couple of newcomers, Wei Ying exchanged pleasantries with the people in the clan, and then under Wei Yue's deliberate creation, he and Yang Ming finally had a chance to be alone in the backyard garden.
Wei You's subordinates were sent far away to facilitate the conversation between the two, while he and several senior members of the clan stopped far away, so as not to let the uncle and sister-in-law get along alone and be spread out, and be used to make a big fuss.
"You bully our orphans and widows, are you worthy of your eldest brother's spirit in the sky?" As soon as Wei Ying spoke, her tone was unceremoniously.
Yang Ming said: "Sister-in-law, where did my brother bully you?" β
"Yu'er is the head of the East Palace, why is it your son who was accepted into the Yong'an Palace," Wei Ying said with a frosty face.
Yang Ming smiled bitterly: "Sister-in-law, don't you know that Yin Jiang has been abolished?" The move of the father and queen mother is just to appease Yin Jiang, why should the sister-in-law mind? β
"Shouldn't I mind? The matter between me and the second child, are you secretly instigating? Wei Ying said sharply.
Yang Ming said: "I'm in Jingshi, you and your second brother went to Jiangnan, I don't know about your affairs, and I don't want to know, if my sister-in-law thinks that I am getting in the way, then it's good for me." β
"You're finally admitted?" Wei Ying's face became more and more gloomy.
Yang Ming smiled and did not answer, and the atmosphere between the two gradually became cold.
"If you become the crown prince in the future, you will kill our mother and son, right?" Wei Ying also knew in her heart that her child was the most hopeless in the position of the prince, because the queen's attitude was already obvious, and the position was only for her son, not for her grandson.
Now she is just caught between Yang Ming and Yang Yong, lingering on her breath, hoping that she can have a glimmer of life.
Yang Ming frowned and said: "I have no grudge against my sister-in-law, the three children are the flesh and blood of the eldest brother, why do you think that I will kill you?" What's more, who the crown prince is, it may not be known at the moment. β
"We don't have a grudge, but if there is a dispute, a grudge is a matter of time," Wei Ying said with dull eyes: "When I gave birth to Yu, I really didn't expect that our mother and son would be in today's situation, and he should have been the most noble." β
Saying that, Wei Ying looked at Yang Ming and said, "Between us, is it still possible to resolve the suspicion?" β
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly:
"Sister-in-law is a pure and clean person, although she has experienced the deception of the palace, but she is still not good at cheating, you don't have to worry that I will be unfavorable to you, and there is no need to curry favor, you are my sister-in-law, this will never change, what kind of respect should I have for you, I will not be less here, maybe someone will teach you privately, let you join me to fight the second child, or between me and the second child, but I hope that the sister-in-law understands that my respect for you will not change in the slightest."
was broken by Yang Ming's words, Wei Ying was suddenly a little at a loss, she was young after all, innocent by nature, fighting wits and courage with Yang Ming, she was far from being an opponent.
The clan does have instructions for her, and even as a last resort, they hope that she will tempt Yang Ming with her beauty, after all, when Wei Ying got married at the beginning of the year, she was known as the first beauty in Beijing, and her appearance was comparable to that of Yang Lihua when she was young, if she was willing to take the initiative to dedicate herself, no man could hold it.
"It's hard for you to still respect me now, and I won't say those lies anymore," Wei Ying let out a long sigh:
"For the position of the prince, I will try my best to fight for Yu'er, if I really can't see a glimmer of hope, I hope you can leave a way for our mother and son to live in the future, and at the same time, you will also get the full support of the Wei family, how about it?"
Of course, Yang Ming didn't want to turn his face with the other party, but the alliance didn't have to, because he really couldn't trust the other party at the moment.
If he can inherit the throne in the future, he will not kill Yang Zhao's three sons, but he will definitely not allow them to leave under his nose.
Just like wherever Yang Guang goes now, he will take the fourth Yang Xiu with him.
Yang Ming said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my brother is still the same sentence, I will never harm you and the three children, as for believing it or not, it's a matter of sister-in-law." β
"Of course I believe it," Wei Ying said with a smile, "I hope we can get closer to each other as much as before in the future." β
Yang Ming nodded.
