Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 223 Brotherly Battle
Yang Hao picked up the wine glass, poured it into his mouth, wiped the corner of his mouth, stared at Yang Ming fiercely, and said:
"Am I your second brother?"

Yang Ming said calmly: "At any time, you are my second brother."

"Haha." Yang Hao laughed and said, "Then why are you King Qin and I King Qi? In terms of seniority, should we change?"

When it finally came, Yang Ming knew that with the character of the second child, he must care about this.

"This is the meaning of the father. It is probably because of the Renshou Palace that I have contributed a little bit."

"You don't call it effort, it's a matter of course," Yang Hao's voice became higher and higher, with a sullen look on his face:

"Father, queen, mother, and eldest brother were imprisoned by Liu Shu's traitors. If it were me, I would lead the army to rescue them as soon as possible. Third, don't take this as your credit, it's not credit."

As he said that, Yang Hao kicked away the elder in front of him, and said angrily with the strength of alcohol:

"When Emperor Father canonized you as the King of Qin, Second Brother wouldn't be angry with you today if you made a few excuses, but you didn't. Do you think that the King of Qin should be you?"

Yang Ming sat upright, with a stern expression and said:

"You don't have to get angry with me. Originally, you were supposed to be the king of Jin, but I am the king of Qin. It was Yang Yue who said at the court meeting that my father was once the king of Jin, so it is not appropriate to be the king of Jin."

"You don't have to fool me," Yang Hao interrupted him with a flick of his sleeve before he finished speaking:
"Don't think that since I'm in Jiangdu, I don't know about the court affairs. Don't forget, I also have a father-in-law who manages the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Shangshu Province. I also have a mother who is the current queen!"

"Yang Yue's suggestion not to be the King of Jin was a previous matter. Later, everyone discussed who should be the King of Qin. Yang Su and Gao Jiong stood up to support you."

Yang Hao became more and more excited as he spoke, and said: "Why do they support you? Why don't you communicate with them behind the scenes? I know, you are smart and full of schemes, but you can't count on your own brother?"

"When did I plot against you!" Yang Ming was also angry, and slammed the table to stand up:
"If you care about this, I will play Emperor Father tomorrow. Let's change. Look at your current appearance. You are addicted to drinking and sex, and you have neglected your business. I advise you to do it for the good of others? Wake up, second brother."

"Yang Ming!" Yang Hao staggered towards the steps, and rushed towards Yang Ming:

"I'm going to teach you a lesson today, so that you know who is brother and who is brother."

As he spoke, he directly grabbed Yang Ming's collar and punched Yang Ming in the face.

Yang Ming wasn't used to him either, so the two brothers just started fighting in the middle of the hall.

When the outsiders heard the movement, they hurriedly closed the door, but Zhang Xiaobao, who was familiar with Yang Ming, ran over to persuade him to fight.

"Oh, stop fighting, Your Highnesses, we are all brothers, so don't hurt your temper."

Can he persuade it?He couldn't persuade.

After a long while, Yang Ming and Yang Hao sat under the steps panting, panting heavily, the clothes on his body were torn to pieces.

Zhang Xiaobao persuaded from the side: "Your Highnesses are brothers of flesh and blood, no matter what the reason is, there is no need to do this."

With a bah sound, Yang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, turned his head to look at the embarrassed Yang Ming, and couldn't help laughing:

"What the hell, your fist is really hard."

Yang Ming caressed his cheek and snorted coldly: "Whether it's King Qin or King Qi, they are all kings, and you won't be able to become a prince."

"Haha." Yang Hao laughed and said, "Aren't you the same?"

The two looked at each other, each shaking their heads and smiling wryly.

"Okay, it's the second brother's fault today, I'm sorry," Yang Hao sighed, "Your boy has been too popular these years, and I am really not convinced as a brother."

Of course, Yang Ming didn't want to break up with the second child, at least not now, so he said, "I've been walking step by step, how many times have I not been put on the shelf? You are not in Beijing, and the eldest brother is the prince, and the dirty work is tiring." It can only be done by me."

In Yang Hao's heart, he didn't really hate Yang Ming so much, but he felt that he couldn't hold back. When he was in Jiangdu, all the news from the capital had nothing to do with Yang Ming, so that over time, he felt that he Not as good as my younger brother, and my self-esteem will inevitably be damaged.

Especially in suppressing the rebellion of the King of Han, Yang Ming's momentum grew stronger, making him appear to be incompetent.

Today, the two brothers had a fight, which can be regarded as calming down.

"Let me also advise you, don't always be in the limelight." Yang Hao rested his elbows on his knees, looked in the direction of the door, and said:

"Although I am stupid, I also know that Muxiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng. Your prestige is too high now. If you continue like this, be careful that the boss will turn against you."

"Don't think that if the boss is kind, you won't be taboo about these things," Yang Wei turned his face and said, "If you really want to provoke him, it's not just a simple fight."

Although the crown prince Yang Zhao died in the second year of Daye, that is, next year according to historical records, Yang Ming was actually very cautious when he was in front of Yang Zhao. Tell Yang Zhao not to be wary of him.

Yang Hao's persuasion should be considered from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know that Yang Zhao would die.

After next year, Yang Hao will be Yang Ming's only competitor.

As the second in line heir, Yang Hao will be challenged by Yang Ming. Therefore, it is almost certain that the two brothers will break up in the future.

Yang Ming was quite worried about this. He didn't want it to be like this, but it had to be like this.

"You don't have to think about it, brother is not as narrow-minded as you." Yang Ming slowly got up and planned to leave.

Yang Hao called him to stop: "It's night, stay here after dinner, go in and change clothes, and meet your sister-in-law and nephew."

"Okay," Yang Ming nodded, followed Zhang Xiaobao, and went down to change clothes.

Historically, Yang Hao had three sons, the first two were not named, and the third was Yang Zhengdao, a posthumous son. After Yang Guang was killed, he followed his grandmother Empress Xiao to seek refuge in Dou Jiande, and later went to Turkic. After circulation, he returned to Chang'an with his grandmother Empress Xiao, and became an official. His son Yang Chongli became the Minister of the Household Department during Li Longji's Kaiyuan Dynasty.

But right now, Yang Hao's eldest son has been born, and the son of Princess Webster's is called Yang Yin, Yin, which means inheritance from descendants.

Fortunately, this child's name was also chosen by Yang Guang, otherwise, the second child would have to compete with him again.

In fact, the next generation of the three Yang Ming brothers are also single characters. Yang Zhengdao also changed his name later, his real name is Yang Min.

Princess Wei Qiong, who had just given birth to her confinement, had put on a lot of weight. When she learned that the two brothers had a fight in the front hall, she superficially said some words of advice.

In her heart, she must be towards her husband. Maybe Yang Hao's dissatisfaction with Yang Ming is due to her being a pillow.

Yang Ming walked around the room with his child who was less than four months old, and said with a smile:
"It's fatter and bigger than the one in my family, but he's a younger brother."

It was originally an unintentional remark, but Princess Wei Qiong was not happy. Yang Ming's son was a month older than his son, but he became the eldest grandson, and his son has not yet been crowned king.

Yang Hao actually doesn't care about the matter of becoming a king, because it's a matter of time if he can't run away, but women are more cautious, and Wei Qiong will care about this.

"A concubine is still not as good as Yinjiang after all," Wei Qiong said with a smile to her husband, "It's true that if you are close to the water, you will get the moon first. Brother Ming and the others are close to the father. Even if we got the news and prepared to have a child immediately, Yinjiang is faster. .”

Yang Hao frowned slightly, and secretly gave Yang Ming a wink, meaning you don't mind, it's just a woman's opinion.

Of course Yang Ming wouldn't mind, but he didn't expect that Wei Qiong would change so much before and after marriage.

When welcoming the bride, he and the eldest brother Yang Zhao went there. At first, he thought this girl was pretty, but now it seems that he has gone wrong.

She and Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying are not at the same level at all.

Yang Ming handed the baby to the wet nurse, and then sat down to have a meal with his elder brother and sister-in-law. Yang Hao was also half awake from the wine, with a big appetite, and said while eating:

"I heard that Yan Rong's son, Yan Baoshou, served as an official of the general manager's mansion for you?"

Yang Ming nodded: "It didn't take long. When I returned to Beijing last year, he was taken away by Yang Gongren. It seems that he got an errand in Wannian County."

"Isn't it better to be an official for you than to serve in the county government? What does Yang Gongren think?" Yang Wei laughed.

Yang Ming said: "I think I have my own plans. Now that Yang Xiong has been named the Guan Wang and returns to the center, he will naturally make arrangements for his son-in-law."

Yan Baoshou married Yang Xiong's daughter, and was the brother-in-law of Yang Gongren, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He was implicated in his father's crime and murder, so he couldn't be an official, so he was temporarily taken in by Yang Ming.

"By the way, why did you mention him?" Yang Ming asked curiously.

Yang Hao smiled: "It's nothing."

At this time, Princess Wei Qiong on the side suddenly snorted coldly, and said: "Yan Baoshou has a daughter who has fallen in love with your second brother. Brother Ming, don't match your second brother."

Yang Ming was taken aback, feeling helpless, why are you still thinking about women at this moment?And in front of his wife?

Yang Ming doesn't know whether Yan Baoshou has a daughter now, because the other party came to Jingzhou alone at the beginning, and he was originally a springboard, so he definitely wouldn't bring his family with him.

But in history, Yan Baoshou will have a daughter who will marry Li Shimin and become Concubine Yan De.

Calculating the time, what Yang Hao was referring to must not be this, because it is impossible for Li Shimin to marry a woman who is ten years older than him.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't ask me for help with this kind of thing, by the way, have you met other girls?"

Yang Hao, who completely disregarded the concubine's face, nodded: "I met you on the way here. This girl is going to Hongnong County to pay homage to her grandfather Yan Rong. I invited her to go with her, but she was rejected, haha."

Yanrong's hometown, like the royal family, is also in Huayin County, Hongnong County, where he is naturally buried after death.

Huayin County, originally belonged to Jingzhao County, belonged to Yongzhou, and later merged into Hongnong County, belonged to Yuzhou, basically near Huashan.

Princess Wei Qiong couldn't take it anymore, and took the child away in a fit of anger.

Yang Hao didn't care at all: "I'm just looking for a woman, look at your sister-in-law."

Are you looking for one?You already have dozens of concubines, right?Yang Ming said helplessly: "Anyway, I won't help you with this task, you can figure out a way for yourself."

Yang Hao smiled and didn't say anything more.
