Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 114
That night, Yang Ming lived in Yong'an Palace, and was hugged by Dugu Jialuo again to sleep.

However, he didn't sleep well all night, because Dugu Jialuo always woke up suddenly at night, and it took a long time before he could fall asleep again. He woke up several times a night, and even Yang Ming didn't sleep well.

Early the next morning, the palace was preparing to drive the chariot, and Yang Ming was going to Furong Garden with Dugu Jialuo.

Furong Garden, also known as Furong Garden, is the royal garden of the Sui Dynasty. Not to mention ordinary people, even officials are not allowed to go there.

The garden is located in the southwest corner of Daxing City. Daxing was originally a majestic and square city, but the Furong Garden protrudes from a corner. If you look down from a high altitude, it is particularly abrupt.

The reason why it was built like this is also because of Feng Shui, and Yang Ming doesn't understand the specifics.

There is a river pond in the garden, which is running water, leading to the Heihe River, which is a tributary of the Weihe River, and the Weihe River is a tributary of the Yellow River.

Furong Garden is located in the later Yanta District of Xi'an City.

When the queen travels, there is naturally a large guard of honor, plus five princesses and a county king. The long line stretches for hundreds of meters.

Suzaku Street was clean, obviously it had been cleaned in advance, when the chariots passed by, passers-by would bend over and look up, it was an offense, not against the law, but against etiquette.

Dugu Jialuo wouldn't care about this, but Marquis Wu did. Any grandson who dares to glance at the queen's phoenix chariot will definitely drag it down and beat him to death.

It's a bit messy, but there's no way, the people below are like this.

When they arrived at Furong Garden, they were also greeted by officials guarding the garden. The imperial guards went in first, which was called sweeping the garden, that is, to check whether the garden was safe and whether there were suspicious persons hiding in it, and then changed defenses with the soldiers guarding the garden.

After confirming that everything is normal, Dugu Jialuo's chariot will enter.

A group of people toured the scenery along the Qujiang River. The princesses, the third and the fifth, supported Dugu Jialuo from left to right, and the others followed behind.

Yang Ming found that Dugu Jialuo's body was not as good as before, and he was not as stable as before when he walked, which made him feel a little sad.

People have feelings, Dugu Jialuo dotes on him so much, indulges and protects him in everything, even if he is really a white-eyed wolf, he has been influenced.

Unfortunately, in history, Dugu Jialuo would pass away two years later.

She is Yang Ming's biggest backer. With Dugu Jialuo around, no one can touch him. If Dugu Jialuo is not around, Yang Ming really has to rely on himself.

While walking, Yang Lihua suddenly pulled Yang Ming over, retreated to the side of the road, then sat down in the small pavilion by the lake, waited until there was no one around, and said slowly:
"Although you are underage, now is the time to make a plan to become a feudal clan."

Yang Ming was stunned and said, "What does Eldest Aunt mean?"

Yang Lihua couldn't help but said: "Don't pretend, you know it in your heart."

Conscience of heaven and earth, I know my hair, I know, Yang Ming shook his head: "Please ask my aunt to clarify."

Yang Lihua saw that Yang Ming's expression did not seem to be fake, she nodded and said: "A few days ago, Auntie asked me in private, if she abolishes Yidong Palace, would I support it?"

After hearing these words, Yang Ming became nervous instantly. It seemed that Dugu Jialuo had already had a showdown with his most powerful eldest daughter.

Whether Dad can go up or not depends on Yang Lihua's position.

Yang Ming stared at Yang Lihua for a moment, waiting for her to continue.

Yang Lihua sighed, looked at the rippling lake in the distance, and said with dull eyes:
"What else can I say? The situation in the DPRK and China is clear. Amo has already won the support of many ministers. Sudifa is in danger. He can move out of the East Palace just waiting for an imperial decree."

Then, Yang Lihua narrowed her eyes: "But I didn't express my position in front of your grandmother at that time, because before that, I wanted to talk to you first."

Yang Ming was surprised: "Why did the eldest aunt talk to me first?"

Yang Lihua said indifferently: "In ancient times, the competition for the position must have been fought by swords and blood. Amo is my younger brother. I still know him well. He seems humble and kind, but in fact he is ruthless."

"I am afraid that Amo will be unfavorable to him after he abdicates. If it really happens, I hope you can stop him together with me."

Yang Ming hurriedly explained: "Grandpa will never make things difficult for Uncle."

That's all he can say. Could it be that he told Yang Lihua that yes, Yang Yong will be ordered to die by Yang Guang's Jiaozhao in the future.

Yang Minghua's face suddenly became gloomy, and his clear eyes stared directly at Yang Ming like a cold light, which made Yang Ming feel guilty for a while:
"If it really happens, my nephew will do my best to protect it."

Only then did Yang Lihua nod her head, and said with a calm expression: "You have a lot of evil ideas, otherwise I wouldn't have told you these things."

As she said that, Yang Lihua lowered her head and said with a sad face: "I married into the palace when I was 12 years old and was named a princess. At that time, Su Diva accompanied me into the palace, because I was still young and didn't understand anything. Suddenly going to a completely unfamiliar place, I was afraid, so on the day of my wedding, I never let go of Sui Difa's hand."

"I still remember that when we entered the palace, Siddifah would be expelled from the palace because he was a foreigner. At that time, he cried and refused to leave me. Later, he was gagged by two guards and dragged him abruptly. gone."

"Among the brothers and sisters, only Sui Difa is the closest to me. Because of doting, I will defend him in front of his parents no matter what mistakes he makes. Looking at it now, I really indulged him."

Speaking of this time, the eldest princess of the Great Sui Dynasty was already in tears, she seemed to have fallen into some kind of memory, and muttered to herself:
"Grandpa usurped Zhou Lisui, I insisted against it, and even fell out with my parents because of this, because I knew that once I sat in that position, I don't want to be able to sleep peacefully one day. , Gao's conspiracy, now that I, Yang, are in power, then who will be plotted by?"

"I never thought that before the end of a generation, there would be a battle for the reserve position. I was dedicated to maintaining the East Palace, and even thought that if my parents talked about the matter of easy storage, I would try my best to keep Sudifa."

"But then I suddenly realized that Sui Difa's character is weak, he is easy to trust others, hesitant in situations, has no ideas in his chest, and is easily coerced by others. If such a temperament really inherits the throne, my Yang family will be really in danger. carry on."

"On the other hand, Amo, he doesn't show his sharpness, is deep in the city, is willing to bend his knees to make friends with others, and knows the art of checks and balances. In fact, he is no different from your grandfather back then."

Then, Yang Lihua took a look at Yang Ming and continued: "The ones who really shake my position are Zhao'er and you. The Eastern Palace princes are incompetent. If Su Difa is assisted by a virtuous minister, there will be no major problems. But he has no successor under his knees, which is really the source of disaster."

"The concubine succeeds to the throne, and no one is convinced. It seems that Zhao'er and you, the noble concubine, are sitting on one side. In the future, they will rise up on the grounds of righteous blood. When I enter the Sui Dynasty, I will be torn apart immediately. Such a scene is not mine. Wish."

Yang Ming listened quietly. From Yang Lihua's words, it is not difficult to see that she has opened her heart to herself, otherwise she would not have confide in her heart.

Trust can be exchanged for trust, so Yang Ming will regard Yang Lihua as a trustworthy person from now on.

After a long while, Yang Lihua said: "If your father is established as the crown prince, you can enter the East Palace, but because of Zhao'er, in my opinion, it is best to take over as early as possible, not only for Zhao'er's good, but also for you. Thinking about it, power is the most alluring, if you see more, you will inevitably have ideas, this is the source of disaster, do you understand?"

Understood, you are afraid that I will be tempted by power and have the heart to seize the reserve, Yang Ming nodded and said: "Nephew knows the importance."

Yang Lihua seemed afraid that Yang Ming would not understand, so she explained:

"Amo was like you in the past. He respected Su Diva very much, and his brotherhood is deep. It's a pity that if you are willing to leave Beijing, aunt will find a better place for you."

Where better to go?What's the meaning?Isn't Hadong good enough?Yang Ming looked surprised.

Seeing this, Yang Lihua smiled and said, "Jingzhou still has a shortage."

Oh my god, Yang Ming was dumbfounded. As expected of being the eldest aunt, how dare you think that I can do that position?I'm not yet a prince.

The reason why Yang Lihua made this plan was naturally because she saw that Yang Ming was unusual. At such a young age, she was able to sit down and discuss matters with Yang Su and other important officials in the court, and she had already faintly overshadowed Yang Zhao.

This is very dangerous. Let him stay away from the center of imperial power while he is young, so as not to be corrupted, which can cut off a disaster in the future.

The land of Jingzhou is located in the Central Plains, with access to the north and the south, and criss-cross waterways, but it can't achieve great things. This is the best place to settle Yang Ming.

What's more, if Amo is the crown prince, Yang Ming is the heir of the Eastern Palace. Although the qualifications are slightly insufficient, it is up to people. If I promise Aniang not to interfere with Yi Chu's affairs on this condition, it will happen.

Yang Ming fully understood Yang Lihua's painstaking efforts. Jingzhou is located in the center of the entire Sui Dynasty, with Daxing in the west, Hongzhou in the east, Luoyang in the north, and Jiangdu in the south. This place can do anything, but it cannot rebel.

The capital of Jingzhou is Jiangling. As the saying goes, a thousand miles of Jiangling can be returned in one day. If he rebels today, tomorrow the army will come to counter the rebellion.

But Yang Ming was a bit puzzled, how did Yang Lihua see that she was rebellious?Is your usual behavior a bit high-profile?

This is not good, very bad, it seems that I still don't know the golden mean.

The two chatted about other things in the pavilion, and waited until a eunuch came to call, saying that the Holy Empress had entered the Tianxiang Pavilion, and lunch had already been prepared.

So the aunt and nephew walked out of the kiosk and rushed to the dining place under the escort of the guards.

Obviously, going out for a breath of air will still boost Dugu Jialuo's spirit. Compared with yesterday's exhaustion, Dugu Jialuo's face is full of red at this moment, and he is letting his little daughter Ah Wu rub her calf for herself.

"Auntie is really old, she can't walk anymore after walking for a long time."

Yang Ah Wu hurriedly said: "A Niang will not grow old, you see, I have gray hair, but A Niang's hair is like a girl's blue silk."

Dugu Jialuo was very useful to this flattery. When she looked up and saw the eldest daughter coming in with Yang Ming, she raised her hand and called Yang Ming to her, then sent Yang Awu away, and whispered in her ear:
"What did your great aunt tell you?"

Give Yang Ming the courage, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he said honestly: "The eldest aunt said that she will no longer meddle in the affairs of the Eastern Palace."

Dugu Jialuo was taken aback for a moment, then looked at his eldest daughter, Yang Lihua angrily turned his face away, and did not meet her gaze.

At this time, a servant brought the meal to Dugu Jialuo for a few minutes, but Dugu Jialuo said:
"Give it to Lihua, she likes to eat."
