Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 146
On the third day of April, Yang Ming received a letter from his elder brother Yang Zhao, and a big event happened in Daxing.

Shu Wang Yang Xiu, the governor of Yizhou, was recalled to Beijing and placed under house arrest in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The reason is that he used witchcraft to curse his father, Yang Jian, and was reported, and a lot of evidence was dug up.

After Yang Ming received the letter, he was not surprised at all. The fourth Yang in history ended up like this, but Yang Ming didn't know whether he was slandered by Yang Guang.

However, although Yang Lao Si was deposed as a citizen, he lived for a long time. Historically, he has been under house arrest by his father Yang Guang. Until the Jiangdu change, after Yuwen Sangou killed the king, he even considered whether to Make Yang Xiu the puppet emperor.

Later, Yuwen Sangou felt that Yang Laosi was not easy to control, so he killed him.

Right now, among the five brothers, the eldest Yang Yong, the second Yang Guang, and the fourth Yang Xiu are all in the palace, and they are reunited in another way.

In fact, Dad treated his brothers fairly well, except that Yang Yong died at his hands, nothing else.

Yang Yong can't die, because he is the former prince and directly threatens his father's position, so he must die.

Yang Laowu raised the flag to rebel, failed and was arrested back to Daxing. Yang Guang didn't kill him.

However, Yang Lao Wu died within a year after he was placed under house arrest. How he died is unknown.

Sooner or later, other people would know about such a big event, so Yang Ming called Yuan Wendu and them, and spread out the letter for them to read.

After reading all the texts of Yuan Dynasty, I felt very sad. Their old Yuan family was highly valued by the Second Saints in the early years of the emperor. There were not a few people in the family who entered the center, and even Yuan Zhenlong favored him and made him a princess.
Among them was Yuan Yan, a former Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who was named the governor of Yizhou, and Yang Xiu went to Chengdu together in Sui Dynasty.

But Yuan Yan died early, and his children and grandchildren were not strong enough.

The governor of Yizhou is now vacant, but everyone knows that no one can take this position in a short time.

Except for Pang Ben who came from a small family, Yang Ming's subordinates are all rich.

Luoyang Yuan, Jingzhaodu, Hedong Pei.

The big family has always served the royal family, so although Yang Xiu was demoted to a commoner, none of them dared to say that Yang Xiu was wrong.

Ever since, no one in the lobby dared to speak.

This issue is not for them to evaluate. No matter what crime the King of Shu has, there is only one person who can judge him, and that is Supreme.

Yang Ming originally wanted to chat with them, but each of them became more serious than the other.

So Yang Ming returned to Neiyuan, called Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying, and spread out the letter for them to read.

The reaction of the two women was similar to that of Yuan Wendu and the others. Apart from being dumbfounded, they didn't say a word.

Perhaps the two of them will discuss this topic in private.But definitely not in front of Yang Ming.

Just like the king of Qin, Yang Jun, only after his death did so many people flatter Shangyi and speak ill of him. When he was alive, no one dared to beep even if he only had one breath.

Yuan Min is a good example. Don't look at him flattering Yang Jian and his wife, thinking that Yang Hao should inherit his father's crimes. In the end, Yang Hao was fine and he was executed.

Don't meddle in the affairs of the royal family, after all, they are a family.

Seeing that neither of them responded, Yang Ming took the letter and threw it into the stove, setting it on fire.

Yang Xiu's accident was news to him, but it was not a major event. The real major event would be five months later.

Pang Ben's confidants have been sent to various places one after another, recruited as local ruffians, and classified as school guards.

Du Ruhui entertained almost every day, busy dealing with some relatively clean aristocratic families, enlisting their children and bringing them into household cao, so as to cooperate with the school inspectors to check the fields.

The school inspectors and guards are all vulgar hooligans, they do the dirty work, and they have to be sharp and pen officials to sum up in detail.

As for Pei Xizai, it is said that he has sent people back to his hometown in Hedong to recruit people. It is the habit of the old Pei family to use his own people to do things. There are so many children in the family that always need to be trained. In case one or two come out of nowhere What about?

Talents need to be discovered, if not, Messi can only deliver food.

The same is true for Zhou Zhongmou. His relatives from his hometown in Jiujiang went to Xiangyang like Teme Migration, and when he looked at it from a distance, he thought it was a disaster victim crossing the border.

The atmosphere of the Great Sui Dynasty is like this, or we can say that the heyday of the elite clan was in the Great Sui Dynasty. People's family concept was deeply rooted. When they had a meal, they thought about whether they could leave a bowl of soup for their relatives. After all, after death, everyone In a ancestral hall for companionship.

As for intrigue and family infighting, it is actually very rare, because the eldest son inheritance system has already cut off the root of infighting, and it is not as exaggerated as in film and television dramas. What are you fighting for? What are you fighting for?The person who carries the urinal also wants to manage the account book?
Yuan Shikai has become the president because he is a concubine and wants his mother to be buried with his father. The family will not give him this face. He firmly disagrees. There is no other way. In the end, he can only be buried elsewhere.

Is this bastard enough?The same did not move.

Right now, the general manager's mansion is busy recruiting people to spend money for Yang Ming.

But Yang Ming was thinking about how to find a way to spend money for the country.

That night, Yang Ming was already asleep, but Chen Shuyi tiptoed into his bedroom, almost scaring Yang Ming.

"Don't sleep in the middle of the night, come out to pretend to be a ghost?" Yang Ming got up suddenly, startling the warm winter and cool summer.

Chen Shuyi said furtively: "You go out first, I have something to talk to Your Highness."

Yang Ming frowned, and winked at the two maids.

After the two left, Chen Shuyi came to the bedside and whispered mysteriously:

"Gao Yue does have a problem."

Oh my god, you can be regarded as poking out for me, Yang Ming patted the edge of the bed excitedly, and said:
"Sit down and talk."

Chen Shuyi nodded, and simply crossed her legs on the bed, whispering:

"Three days ago, Gao Yue received a letter. Since then, something has gone wrong with her. She is in a daze. She can't seem to hear me when I talk to her. She is out of her mind all day long."

Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "And then?"

"I thought there must be something wrong with the letter, so I took a sneak peek at Gao Yue while Gao Yue wasn't paying attention," Chen Shuyi said, "The letter was not signed, so I don't know who wrote it, and the content was very simple, with only a few words: Gao Yue Rand is in my hands."

Yang Ming was stunned: "Who is Gao Lande?"

Chen Shuyi was stunned and said, "How would I know? Those are the only words in the letter."

"Who sent the letter?" Yang Ming asked.

Chen Shuyi said: "It didn't come from the post station, but someone sent it to the front yamen room. Gao Yue has already asked about it."

Yang Ming was completely speechless. If the delivery of the letter was a matter of today, he would have asked Pang Ben to search and arrest the whole city immediately. Unfortunately, it was three days ago.

So Yang Ming couldn't help but said: "You are such a stick, why did it take three days to see the letter?"

Chen Shuyi said with an innocent face: "The letter is under Gao Yue's pillow. It's not like you don't know that she doesn't leave home. I have no chance. I can't force my way in and dig her pillow, right?"

Yang Ming was still unhappy: "You can tell me, if I send her away, you will have a chance?"

Chen Shuyi was taken aback, stroked her forehead and said, "I didn't think of that at the time."

"So you're a stick," Yang Ming couldn't help but knocked her head off.

Now it's all right, the person who sent the letter can't be found, and the signature is not there. Who the hell knows who captured Gao Lande.

However, Yang Ming still sent Xu Jing to find Pang Ben, and asked him to ask the concierge what the messenger looks like, and then conduct a secret inspection in the city, making sure not to make any noise.

If you can't find it in the city, don't look for it.

Da Sui doesn't have a camera. Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if there is a famous brand, it doesn't work. This thing is easy to fake.

The only thing that was useful was the accent, and Pang Ben came running back soon. The concierge said that the messenger spoke with an authentic Guanzhong accent.

There are Guanzhong people everywhere in the general manager's mansion, so naturally I can't get it wrong.

Looking at it this way, the person who captured Gao Lande is likely to be in Daxing.

Yang Ming couldn't sleep anymore, so he took Chen Shuyi to find Yang Yinjiang,

This girl Yang Yinjiang knew a lot of things. Although Yang Ming also believed that Gao Lande should be from the Northern Qi clan and had a blood relationship with Gao Yue, Yang Ming didn't know much about Northern Qi and could only ask others for advice.

Yang Yinjiang was already lying down, knowing that Yang Ming was looking for her, she hurriedly ordered the servant girl to hold the lamp and open the door.

"Let's all go out,"

After Yang Ming dismissed the maid, he came to the bed and sat down, asking Chen Shuyi to light another lamp, otherwise the light in the room would be too dark.

Yang Yinjiang only wore a single piece of clothing on her upper body, and her lower body was still naked under the quilt, so when she saw Yang Ming going to bed, she quickly covered the quilt:
"What's the matter? What's the hurry?"

"It's not urgent," Yang Ming said, "Have you heard of Gao Lande?"

"No," Yang Yinjiang shook her head in surprise, "Where did you hear that?"

So Yang Ming called Chen Shuyi over and asked her to tell Yang Yinjiang again.

After hearing this, Yang Yinjiang frowned: "Most likely she came from the old Qi royal family, and she is of the same generation as Gao Yue."

Yang Ming said in surprise, "How do you say it?"

Yang Yinjiang said: "Gao Wei, the empress of the old Qi Dynasty, has five sons, namely Gao Heng, Gao Ke, Gao Shande, Gao Maide, and Gao Zhiqian. Do you see anything?"

Yang Ming was surprised and said, "You mean, this Gao Lande is also Gao Wei's son?"

Because she had already fallen asleep, her hair was fluffy and messy, so Yang Yinjiang tied her long hair back. This action caused a scene on her chest to be revealed, and Yang Ming hurriedly averted her eyes.

After Yang Yinjiang noticed it, she quickly stopped and said:

"After Qi was destroyed, thirty kings under Gao Wei and Ren Chengwang Gao Huang were taken captive to Chang'an (Northern Zhou Dynasty, so it was still Chang'an). Among them, there was no one named Gao Lande, but this person's name happened to be similar to Gao Shande's. , Gao Maide are similar, they are probably brothers, Gao Yue should know the inside story, could it be that there was another clan that slipped through the net back then?"

"It shouldn't be," Yang Ming said, "There are quite a few surrendered subjects from the old Qi, and it's impossible for them not to know."

Yang Yinjiang said: "What if it is a posthumous child?"

Yang Ming suddenly realized: "It is possible, after Gao Wei's death, what happened to his concubine?"

Yang Yinjiang sighed: "Some were sentenced to death, some became monks, and some became prostitutes. I don't know very well. If you want to know these files, I'm afraid you have to ask someone for help."

"Who?" Yang Ming asked.

Yang Yinjiang shrugged her shoulders: "Aside from Ersheng, who else can retrieve the files from the Secretary's Ministry?"

Yang Ming guessed who she was talking about.

Pei Ju is in charge of the Ministry of Internal History, and many affairs need to consult the archives of the central library of the Secretary's Ministry, and only he can come in and out at will.
