Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 160
Talking with Yang Su, you can really say that you can listen to what you have to say, and avoid ten detours.

Perhaps it was because the matter between himself and Yang Yinjiang was already settled, so Yang Su rarely said a lot of heartfelt words.

And Yang Ming eagerly hoped to learn more from each other, so the old and the young chatted from morning to sunset.

Yang Su was in a good mood, because he saw a talent in Yang Ming that he couldn't see in others.

Discussing things with this child is straightforward, even if he deliberately conceals some things, Yang Ming can still understand.

It is worthy of growing up beside the Ersheng, it is really extraordinary.

Some people, you are too lazy to say a word with him, while some people will let you get carried away and have a long talk with him.

It wasn't until the oil lamp was lit that Yang Su got up and moved his body, and ordered his servants to bring the food. He planned to continue chatting with Yang Ming.

"Pei Ju is a great talent, but he is too deep and difficult to make friends with. However, this is also a common problem of literati. They would rather stay in the study for a whole day than go out to meet friends and have a drink."

That's right, Yang Ming agreed, "He's even a little withdrawn."

"It's normal," Yang Su said with a smile: "This is what people with extraordinary intelligence do, because they feel that the other party is not enough to communicate with whom they communicate with, and as time goes by, they don't want to deal with others."

Just being conceited, Yang Ming said again: "There are still many vacancies in the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion. The Duke of Yue may have good candidates in his heart. Of course, I hope that the Duke of Yue will recommend talents to avoid relatives."

"There's no way to avoid it," Yang Su said with a big laugh, "Actually, there are no good talents. It just depends on how you use them. If you use them well, you're a talent. Just use it, if you use it easily, keep it, if not, let him go."

Yang Ming smiled and nodded. He fully agreed with Yang Su's words.

In history, although there were many celebrities and great figures in the end of the Sui Dynasty, these people were born in response to the situation. How capable they are, in fact, largely accounted for the bonus of the time.

They are products of the times.

So Yang Ming has only selected three people so far, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui.

Li Jing has real talents and real learning. The three uncles are all famous generals in the contemporary era. They are also Yang Su's disciples and Guanzhong disciples. They are blessed with unique resources. When they were young, they had already learned skills that others could not learn in their lifetime.

As for Fang Xuanling, it was a coincidence that Yang Ming ran into him at the Orchid Restaurant, and it happened that there was no one to take care of him on the east side of the river, so he thought of him.

Du Ruhui was in the same situation. When Yang Ming first arrived in Jingzhou, he investigated the ins and outs of the county magistrates under his jurisdiction. When he saw the name Du Zha, he felt familiar. It took him a long time to remember that he was Du Ruhui's father.

Du Ruhui was really famous, so Yang Ming couldn't help but want to meet him. Driven by curiosity, the latter became an official in the General Manager's Mansion.

As Yang Su said, there are plenty of talents, the key depends on how you use them.

If Gao Jiong hadn't been a retainer of Dugu's family, he wouldn't have been in his current position.

The supper came, and it was very rich,

Yang Yinjiang temporarily acted as a maid, serving dishes and chopsticks for the two of them.
"You have been chatting for a day, can you allow Yin Jiang to join?"

Yang Ming nodded and picked up the chopsticks: "I'll pad my stomach first."

Yang Yinjiang was kneeling beside Yang Ming, holding a pair of chopsticks in her hand, but she was serving food for Yang Ming, she didn't eat it herself.

Looking at the two young people in front of them getting along well, Yang Su was quite relieved. Younger brother Yang Yue still devoted himself to raising Yin Jiang well.

Looking back at his eldest son, it was really hard to describe.

He is very clear that he has reached the peak of being a minister, so the road ahead must be down.

Gao Jiong was like this, and Yang Su was no exception.

Under his protection, the Yang family has maintained prosperity for nearly 20 years, so who should they rely on next?
I'm afraid only God knows.
After the queen's death, Yang Jian moved to Renshou Palace, and the government affairs of the court were almost entirely in charge of by the prince Yang Guang.

Dugu Jialuo liked to live here the most during his lifetime, but Yang Jian left Beijing this time, taking away the two beauties Chen and Cai.

When people reach old age, it is impossible to have no one around them to serve them. These two entered the palace very early, but they have been suppressed by Queen Dugu all the time.

However, Yang Jian has always kept his promise to his wife, so the two beauties have been favored for many years, and they have no chance to conceive a dragon seed.

Not before, and never will.

These two people are now ennobled, among them, the Chen family is Chen Shubao's half-sister and Chen Shuyi's aunt.

The Cai family is also from the south of the Yangtze River. After the old Chen was destroyed, the whole family was taken captive to Daxing and dedicated to Yang Jian as an adult.

Yang Ming had never seen these two people before, nor had he seen or heard about their looks, because no one dared to talk behind their backs about whether the emperor's woman was good-looking or not.

Among them, the Chen family was later named Mrs. Xuanhua. According to historical records, she had an affair with her father Yang Guang.

What is recorded in history?It is also "Sui Shu" edited by Wei Zheng.

Zheng is the traditional character of Zheng, and Wei Zheng is Wei Zheng, the old bastard. The reason why Yang Ming has a big prejudice against Wei Zheng is because of the eight characters used to describe Duguhou.

Yang Ming is actually very vengeful, he has the right to dislike anyone.

At the beginning of this year, because of the queen's new life, everyone can only keep a low profile, and don't think about putting on lights and festivities, it will lose their heads.

The situation in Daxing is the most serious. As for the place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. I am afraid that the wine and meat have already been eaten.

Yang Ming is 15 years old this year, an adult.

The hundred-day mourning period has passed, Yang Ming can take off Zhan Shuai and replace it with Qi Shuan to continue to mourn for three years.

At this time, he can get married.

On Pei Ju's side, Yang Lihua had already done his job well, so Yang Jian decreed that Pei Shuying, Pei Ju's daughter, be conferred the title of concubine of the Prince of Hedong. , thirty volumes of Buddhist scriptures, one gold bowl, one silver bowl, two bowls of jewelry, and three thousand pieces of silk and brocade each.

When Yang Hao got married, Yang Guang was the king of Jin, and when Yang Ming got married, Yang Guang was the prince.

Therefore, all officials congratulated each other, and gifts piled up like mountains.

Normally speaking, a side concubine should not be so grand, but Yang Jian took Pei Ju's face into consideration, so he allowed Pei Shuying to marry, referring to the etiquette of the main concubine.

No matter how unhappy Pei Ju was in his heart, he had to pretend to be happy on the surface.

However, when the welcoming team took his daughter away, the powerful Sui official burst into tears.

Prince Jin's Mansion, Yang Guang and his wife will live here tonight. They will have to entertain guests for more than ten days before returning to the East Palace.

There were too many guests, and the main receptions were relatives and friends, and officials below the fifth rank could not enter the gate.

After socializing, Yang Ming returned to Qingshan House.

Pei Shuying was dressed in a bright red dress and had been waiting for him in the dormitory for a long time. After seeing Yang Ming, she hurried to the hot water.

There is a custom in Guanzhong. On the night of marriage, the bride has to wash the groom's feet. As for the implication, it probably means that the bride should abide by women's morals and know that her duty is to serve her husband.

Yang Ming sat by the bed and let Pei Shuying take off his boots for him, then held his ankle and gently put it into the water basin,
"Is it hot?" Pei Shuying raised her head and asked.

Yang Ming smiled and shook his head: "It's just right."

Pei Shuying smiled sweetly, lowered her head, and carefully washed Yang Ming's feet.

Suddenly, Pei Shuying let out a scream. It turned out that Yang Ming picked up his foot and wiped it on her chest.

Now that it's all over, Pei Shuying, who has always been thin-skinned, was suddenly at a loss, and stared blankly at Yang Ming, looking stupid, like an idiot.

"Are you ready?" Yang Ming smiled.

Pei Shuying knew what he was talking about and nodded shyly.

Before she got married, there would be a special maid in Pei's mansion to teach her how to have intercourse, what to do, what details to pay attention to, how to conceive a child more easily, and how to please her husband. She will be clearly instructed.

But it's Pei Shuying's first time after all, so she will look very unfamiliar.

After a while, she turned over, lay powerlessly in Yang Ming's arms, and said:

"Is it inappropriate for me to raise the issue of Lande tonight?"

Yang Ming couldn't help laughing and said, "You've already mentioned it, what else is inappropriate? Why? Did your grandfather find out?"

Pei Shuying nodded obediently: "Gao Yue's secret is too scary, you must not tell anyone, including Yang Yinjiang."

"Okay, I will definitely not say it," Yang Ming said with a serious face.

Pei Shuying was still worried, and said with a more emphatic tone: "Let's just pretend to be rotten in our stomachs, and we must not speak out."

Yang Ming realized the seriousness of the matter, nodded and said:
"what happened?"

Pei Shuying calmed down, dragged a piece of obscene clothes to wrap around her, forced herself to sit up, and said sternly:
"You have been in the palace for so long, have you seen Chuan Guo Yuxi?"

Yang Ming was taken aback, then quickly sat up, frowned and said, "I haven't seen it before."

As if she was afraid of being heard, Pei Shuying stepped forward to hug Yang Ming, and whispered in her ear:

"Grandpa said that he has seen that the Jade Seal of Chuan Guo in the palace is missing a corner. It is not the corner that Empress Han Xiaoyuan broke, but the other corner."

Yang Ming was stunned.
What's the matter?This Jade Seal of Chuanguo is too easy to drop, why is there a piece missing?
This is not a good thing.
Grandfather Yang Jian has always been criticized for being out of place. If the jade seal is missing a corner, once it is known, it will be even more proclaimed that he is not a god-given king.

But having said that, Chuanguo Yuxi was brought back during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and grandfather Yang Jian also got it from Yuwen's family. If you look at it this way, the Yuwen's family got it back then, and it was also missing a corner?
Otherwise, how could he get involved with Gao Yue?
When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, Empress Xiaoyuan threw the jade seal in anger, and the missing corner was later filled with a piece of gold. This is a well-known fact in the world.

If the jade seal in Yang Jian's hand was supplemented with a piece of gold, it would easily be regarded as a fake.

Yuwen has been concealing the situation, and no one knows about it, so after Yang Jian succeeded, he could only continue to hide it.

Otherwise, everyone will say, Yuwen's fine jade seal fell into your hands, why is there another piece missing?Does God think that you shouldn't be an emperor?

Once such remarks spread, it would be very detrimental to their old Yang family.

Because in the eyes of ordinary people, the sky is the biggest, and the emperor is the one who comes down.

Yang Ming hurriedly asked, "What is the relationship between Chuan Guo Yuxi and Gao Yue?"
