Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 172 Preparing to Conceive a Child
Yan Baoshou arrived in Jiangling three days before the New Year's Eve.

He is 27 years old this year, because his father Yan Rong was convicted and killed, so he is not eligible to be a prince.

But in history, after his death, Li Shimin posthumously made him a Duke of Changping, because his daughter was Li Shimin's concubine Yan De.

In the empress and concubine system of the Tang Dynasty, the empress was the largest, followed by the four wives, namely the noble concubine, the concubine Shu, the concubine De, and the concubine Xian.

In other words, Concubine Yan De ranked fourth in Li Shimin's harem.

In fact, it was pure luck that Li Shimin was able to marry Empress Changsun. If it wasn't for the early death of Changsun Sheng, Li Shimin would not be qualified.

He was only the second son, while Changsun Sheng was the real pillar of the country during the Sui Dynasty.

Perhaps it was because of his status as the son of a guilty minister, Yan Baoshou acted very lonely, always giving people a feeling of preoccupation.

But Yang Ming could understand that he was originally a second-generation top official, but his family suddenly collapsed. No one could accept such a gap.

"Time is fate, Baoshou don't think too much, Supreme has given Duke Yan many chances, but he didn't grasp it himself."

In the hall, Yan Baoshou listened to Yang Ming's enlightenment, nodded and said: "Father is to blame himself, he can't blame others."

Yang Ming nodded and said: "Yang Shilang greeted me, you should settle down here first, and if you have a chance in the future, you can find another place."

Yan Baoshou hurriedly said: "It's a blessing to be taken in by His Highness, Baoshou dare not have second thoughts."

With such a good background and such a hard-working daughter-in-law's family, Yan Baoshou will definitely get better in the future, Yang Ming knows this.

Right now, it's just because of Yan Rong's death, the supreme anger is still there, so it's not easy for Yang Xiong to make more arrangements. After the prince succeeds to the throne, Yang Xiong will definitely plan for his son-in-law.

And Yang Ming is also willing to build a good relationship with Yang Xiong's team.

After settling down with the other party, Yang Ming returned to the inner garden, and it was the New Year soon. This year's New Year's Eve was also Yang Yinjiang's first New Year's Eve since she became a princess.

According to the etiquette system, all servants and maidservants in the mansion need to congratulate, because Yang Yinjiang is the mistress of the family, and she alone has the final say on the affairs of the inner mansion.

Since Yang Ming became king, he has never been short of money, especially after marrying Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying, he no longer has any concept of money.

No wonder I was ridiculed by the boss and the second when I first set my sights on Jinyang Tower. Yes, with their identities, money will come to them continuously, and there is no need to make money by buying properties.

The Hedong Prince's Mansion is currently managed by Fang Xuanling alone. Yang Yinjiang can't believe it, but every quarter, he will personally send someone to check the accounts.

From her point of view, it was Yang Ming's money, and as a concubine, she had to take care of everything for Yang Ming, so that she knew what to do so that when Yang Ming used money in the future, she would be in a hurry and didn't know where to allocate it.

No matter how much money you have, it must be used reasonably and in a planned way.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, Yang Guang's letter was also delivered.
The meaning of the letter was very clear, the supreme Yang Jian ordered Yang Ming and the others to live without any worries.

Yang Yinjiang was so excited that she hurriedly called her dowry concubines and experienced maidservants, and began to discuss how to give birth.

As the king of the county, Yang Ming's children must be nobles of the royal family, so it's not as simple as giving birth as he wants.

To count the days, there is a set of procedures to follow for which days are suitable.

And when they are in the same room, apart from Yang Yinjiang, there will also be several maids to assist them. Their task is to ensure that the royal family's essence smoothly arrives where they are supposed to go.

Finally, the date was set, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the moon is full, the heaven and earth are full of aura, suitable for giving birth.

Pei Shuying's character is not to rob, she knows that her child is a bastard, it doesn't matter whether she fights for the eldest son or not, but she still feels sad in her heart.

Yang Ming knew, so these days, he stayed by Pei Shuying's side, and the couple ate and slept together.

And Pei Shuying devoted herself wholeheartedly to please Yang Ming and please him.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, besides Yang Yinjiang, there were six other women in Yang Ming's dormitory, and they all came to help.

After tossing all night, Yang Ming left exhausted.

In the next few days, he still has to do this, there is no way, for the sake of his heir, let's get tired.

Four days later, the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought the emperor Yang Jian's will. Yang Ming was transferred back to Beijing to take over as the general of the right leader, and he was stationed in Menxia Province, becoming one of the Nayan.

The general who is leading the army on the right may not be eligible to participate in the court meeting, but he must be able to participate in the provincial government.

In other words, starting today, Yang Ming can attend the court meeting.

"Congratulations, husband, you finally have to enter the center," Yang Yinjiang knew very well what Yang Ming's transfer meant this time.

As a member of the royal family, entering the center of the court must be of great use. Although she didn't understand why the Supreme made this arrangement for a while, it must be a good thing.

Yang Ming himself did not expect that the day he left Jingzhou would come so early.

After returning to Beijing this time, I am afraid that there will be very few chances to come to Jingzhou again in the future.

Of course, he is also very happy with this arrangement, because after entering the center, he can control the Jingzhou area remotely. Even if a new Jingzhou manager takes office in the future, he will not be able to touch his basic board.

Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying were originally born and raised in Guanzhong. Although they married their husbands and followed Yang Ming to Jingzhou, they still hoped to live in Daxing.

So on the second day after receiving the imperial edict, Yang Yinjiang started to pack her luggage.

After hearing the news, Yuan Wendu and the others in the front office of the Chief Manager's Mansion were also sincerely happy.

They are Yang Ming's subordinates, so they are tied to Yang Ming's boat. It is a good thing for them that Yang Ming goes up.

When the king of the county enters the center, he must be reused. Although Yang Ming's biggest head is Sheng Nayan, he has a detached status and is the prince's son. Minister of the Ministry.

"I'll go back to Beijing this time to see the situation. You stay here for now. If there is a new manager to take over, I will find a way to transfer you back to Daxing," Yang Ming sat on the main seat and smiled at everyone.

Du Ruhui stood up and raised his hands: "But it's up to His Highness to arrange."

Right now, it is indeed inappropriate for Yang Ming to take them all away, because the officials of the Prince's Mansion and the officials of the Prince's Mansion are two different concepts.

Right now, it is not easy for him to arrange these people, but it will be much easier after he becomes the prince.

The establishment of the Prince's Mansion is similar to that of the General Manager's Mansion, and it is enough to transfer these people to the Prince's Mansion to take up various positions at the time of introduction.

"Someone still needs to do the things in Jingzhou, but you can also slowly enter the final stage," Yang Ming said: "It can be a year late, or half a year short, and this king will take you away. Before that, you have to first Settled down."

In the lobby, cheers and laughter resounded instantly.

Most of them are from Guanzhong, and no one wants to stay in a place like Jingzhou forever. Daxing City has whatever it wants, isn't it delicious?

Pang Ben couldn't wait to go back. His friend in the capital hadn't been nourished for a long time.

And when Yang Ming returned to Beijing this time, he would bring him with him, because it was useless for this kid to stay in Jingzhou.

Yang Yinjiang sent people back to Daxing first to tidy up Pei Shuying's dowry house. When they go back this time, they will definitely not be able to live in Prince Jin's Mansion anymore, they must have their own residence.

Fortunately, Pei Shuying's dowry house was big enough. Although it was far inferior to the Prince Jin's Mansion, it was enough to accommodate the current house servants.

The only one who was unhappy because Yang Ming left was Murong Sanzang.

This time, Yang Ming can get him back from the officials, what about next time?Who else can save him?
From the capital's side, there has been no news from the Wei family so far. It is still unknown whether they will be able to deal with the bureaucracy.

So on this day, he hurried to the governor's mansion to meet Yang Ming.

"The official department is still holding on to the subordinates. If His Highness leaves, the subordinates may suffer again," said Murong Sanzang with snot and tears after he came in.

It was a matter of family and life, and he didn't care if Yang Ming was getting impatient with him.

Yang Ming asked, "Is there any news from Wei Shangshu?"

"No, since the last time I sent a letter, telling my ministers to be at ease, there has been no news," Murong Sanzang cried, "But afterward, the Ministry of Officials still forcibly sent people to take the ministers away from Jiangling. , can’t do anything.”

Yang Ming nodded and said, "After I return to Beijing, I will say hello to the officials."

What he said was ambiguous, almost as if he hadn't said anything, Murong Sanzang was also frightened when he heard it.

In fact, in Yang Ming's view, Murong Sanzang has nothing to do with him, so there is no need to make great efforts to protect him.

The reason why Liu Shu was eyeing on the other party, now it seems that it is more like a battle of spirits, as if Liu Shu can't even handle Murong Sanzang, it is a very embarrassing thing.

The best thing for Yang Ming to do is to leave it alone, but now that Liu Shu has set him up, he can't swallow his breath.

But he still can't show that he will definitely get things done for Murong Sanzang.

Favor is not something I can give you casually, you have to fight for it yourself.

Murong Sanzang, who had also been through the rivers and lakes for a long time, took out a piece of origami from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Ming with both hands.

Yang Ming opened it, and it was a list, with a lot of money, [-] guan, including some gold, silver and jade objects.

"Bribe me?" Yang Ming threw the paper on the ground casually, and said with a sneer, "Is this what my lord sent you?"

"No, no, no," Murong Sanzang said hastily with a bitter face, "His Royal Highness is returning to the capital this time, and all greetings must be taken into account. How can I have the heart to let His Highness spend money? His Highness Wan Wang accepts this kindness, my lord." This old life of the minister depends on His Highness to preserve it."

After finishing speaking, he got up and knelt down, and kowtowed to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming said indifferently: "Ben Wang will not take things back. As for your affairs, if I can help, I will naturally help. I have already saved you twice, and there will be one more time."

Murong Sanzang knew in his heart that Yang Ming was reminding him to be grateful, so he hurriedly said:

"From now on, your servants will only follow His Majesty's lead."

Yang Ming waved his hand: "Go down."
