Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 244 All Nations Come to DPRK
The capital, the East Palace.

The eldest son of Prince Yang Zhao was born. Yang Guang personally named him Yang You.

On this day, Yang Guang and his wife went to the East Palace together to visit their grandson, and the family enjoyed themselves happily.

Yang You's birth was much more noble than Yang Ming's son Yang Rui, so Yang Guang ordered that all courts be rewarded for civil and military affairs, and the people in the capital would reward them with meat, food and wine, and celebrate with the whole city.

Yang Guang hugged his infant grandson, walking up and down the room, teasing the child from time to time, while Empress Xiao was chatting with Crown Princess Wei Ying about some household matters.

Wei Ying's father, Wei Shou, died in the tenth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign and was the fourth son of Wei Xiaokuan.

Wei Shou had three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Wei Baojiu, died early, and the second son, Wei Baoluan, succeeded Duke Hua.

Wei Baoluan was originally the Deputy Commander of the Right Guard of the Eastern Palace of Crown Prince Yang Zhao, but now he takes the position of General Youwuhou under the influence of his younger sister.

The third eldest, Wei Yijie, is just a loose official of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, and now he is also appointed as a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wailang.

Two daughters, one became a princess, and the other married Yang Su's younger brother, Yang Yue, the magistrate of Wannian County.

Generally speaking, Wei Shou's branch is slowly growing.

At this time, an eunuch from the Eastern Palace came in with a letter in his hand.

"Your Highness, King Qin's reply has arrived."

Yang Guang, who was originally pacing in the house, twitched his eyebrows slightly when he heard the sound, and continued to tease the child calmly.

Yang Zhao, except for his own illness, has nothing to hide from his parents, so he said directly:
"Unpack and read."

Empress Xiao and Crown Princess Wei Ying also stopped talking and looked at the eunuch.

"My brother will obey all my requests."

After reading, the eunuch refolded the letter, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Yang Zhao with both hands.

At this moment, the corners of Yang Guang's mouth turned up slightly, and then he took the opportunity to turn around and gave Empress Xiao a wink.

So Empress Xiao looked at Yang Zhao and said with a smile:

"What did you send Ming'er again?"

Yang Zhao handed the envelope in his hand to his mother, and replied with a smile:
"Brother Ming detained the second brother's family property in Luoyang. The second brother asked me for help, hoping that I would get it back for him. That's why my son sent a letter to Brother Ming."

When the second child was mentioned, Empress Xiao also felt displeasure on her face, she frowned and said:
"Wu'er is becoming more and more shameless. You are an elder brother. You have to teach him well in the future. Ming'er is still reasonable. After all, he suffered a loss in this matter. Now he still has to listen to you and return the things. Go back, think about it and know how wronged Minger is."

"What are you paying?" Yang Guang finally turned around, handed the child to the nurse at the side, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice:

"Just like the person who robs the third child, but don't want the third child to deduct his money? How can there be such a reason in the world? In my opinion, if you can't get the money back, the second child won't starve to death."

Hearing this, Yang Zhao got up to smooth things over and said, "My son also knows that the second brother made a mistake first, so he made it very clear in the letter to Brother Ming, and asked him to withhold some, which can be regarded as making up for it. No, it's not appropriate."

Yang Guang snorted coldly: "Don't always suppress your younger brother, let him suffer any grievances, look at what he said in his reply letter, the second child can't say such a thing, there is a difference between the old and the young, I think The second child has never listened to your advice, what?"

Yang Zhao smiled shyly and didn't talk to him. Maybe it's because the second child grew up with him, so the second child didn't listen to him in many things, but the third child always obeyed his advice.
As for Yang Guang, he was actually very satisfied with Yang Ming's reply. In his opinion, the second and third child should not have the desire to compete with the boss, and if they want to live a stable life for the rest of their lives, they must listen to the boss.

But right now, the second child obviously doesn't understand this truth, and the third child is the youngest, but respects the eldest one the most.

Yang Guang sat down with an ugly face, and said: "Back then in Renshou Palace, if the third child had been replaced by the second child, our family would not be what it is today. He is still not convinced, and feels that I have wronged him by making the third child the king of Qin." , you tell him that if he does something wrong in the future, King Qi, I will forgive him."

Yang Zhao knew that his father was speaking out of anger, so he quickly agreed with a smile. At this time, the eunuch came to report that it was Princess Qin Yuwen who came to visit the emperor and grandson.

"Please!"

In order to show the importance he attaches to Yang Yinjiang, Yang Zhao personally greeted Yang Yinjiang at the door, and then led her in.

Seeing Yang Guang and his wife, Yang Yinjiang hurriedly saluted:

"My daughter-in-law pays my respects to my father and queen mother."

Empress Xiao smiled and raised her hand: "Yin Jiang, get up quickly, come and see the child."

Yang Guang stepped aside and stopped talking about the second child. After a while, he casually asked:

"Did the third child have a letter from home recently?"

Yang Yinjiang hurriedly replied: "Going back to my father, I have always had it. On the other side of Luoyang, the palace city is almost completed. His Highness said in the letter that this is all thanks to Yuwen Shangshu. Grandpa Yang Su fell ill from overwork and is recovering from illness." .”

Yang Guang nodded: "If I talk about engineering construction in the Sui Dynasty, Yu Wenkai will be the leader, and Yang Su has not let me down."

Then, Yang Yinjiang suddenly laughed and said: "There is another happy event, I have to tell my father and queen mother to know that the concubine Pei is pregnant."

Yang Guang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "It is indeed a happy event. If the world knows about it, it will be a great comfort to the old man."

Empress Xiao hurriedly ordered the maids around her to choose capable maids from the palace and go to Luoyang to serve them.

Ordinary side concubines would not be valued so much, but this side concubine, Yang Ming, has a father who is too awesome, so she is very valued.

Yang Guang was in high spirits, so he began to think about how to name the child.

And the crown prince, Yang Zhao, was laying out paper and grinding.

Yang Zhao's three sons, Yang Tan, Yang Tong, and Yang You, are all alone.

Yang Ming's eldest son, Yang Rui, is Xie Yupang.

So after Yang Guang wrote a lot of characters with oblique jade, he pondered for a long time, selected one "Jin" from them, and wrote another "Jing".

Yang Guang wrote with a smile and said:

"If it's a son, it's Yang Jin, and if it's a daughter, it's Yang Jing."

"Wonderful!" Yang Zhao hurriedly flattered him.

It is actually very rare to give a girl a name. In general, the daughter's name in the family will not go with the boy, and the word "Jing" of Yang Guang should refer to Luoyang, Tokyo.

Then, Yang Guang ordered these two characters to be engraved on two pieces of suet jade and sent to Luoyang.

The end of the year is approaching.

This year is the first year of the great cause, so whether it is the Turks or the Hu people from the Western Regions, many countries will send envoys to come to congratulate them.

The four words "Wan Guo Lai Chao" originated from the reign of Yang Guang.

But at present, there are not so many countries, at most a dozen or so, but in the middle of the great cause, countries such as Turks, Khitan, Japan, Linyi (Vietnam), and Chenla (Cambodia) will all come.

According to historical records, except for the Turkic Qimin Khan, the kings of other countries came in person, so that "the barbarians sighed and called China a god."

They are Wang Xiaoer entering the city and seeing the world.

Since ancient times, China has always wanted to save face, so there are still more than ten days before the first month, and Daxing City is already decorated with lanterns and festoons. Countless lamp wheels, lamp trees, lamp posts, etc., make the fiery trees and silver flowers decorated in Daxing City extremely prosperous.

Yang Guang ordered that the curfew be lifted, and Marquis Wu was on guard day and night, so he couldn't help walking at night.

From all over the world, countless sons of noble families flocked to the capital, so that the streets were full of recruiters.

It's a pity that Yang Ming couldn't see these things. He still stayed in Luoyang as his foreman.

Yang Hao tried his best, but he didn't stop Wang's daughter on the way to Beijing. The reason was that Wang's daughter's convoy came back with the convoy of Liang Bi, the servant of the Ministry of punishment.

As for Liang Bi, he was not easy to provoke, because he dared to sue the emperor for anything, so it was not easy for Yang Wei to do such things in front of others.

Liang Pi and Wang Lin of Langya Wang's family were friends because of old friends, so they let Wang's daughter's motorcade follow him.

After entering Beijing, Wang's daughter went to Chen Shuda's residence to meet her aunt, Wang Nujie.

Chen Shuda's small house must not be able to accommodate others, so he entrusted his relationship with Jinyang Tower and built a courtyard to accommodate Wang's daughter.

Who can enter the Jinyang Building through the relationship?Of course it was Chen Shuyi, and Chen Shuda didn't need to spend all the expenses. After all, Jinyang Building belonged to Yang Ming.

The Wang family is a wealthy family. In terms of power, they are far inferior to the Guanzhong Group, but in terms of financial resources, the people in Guanzhong may not be stronger than others.

In Jinyang Building and Xiefeng Courtyard, over a hundred people lived in, a dozen of them surnamed Wang, and the rest were slaves.

Wang's daughter, named Wang Zhuoling, is 16 years old this year. After a brief tidying up and saluting, she and her brothers and sisters at home left Jinyang Tower in the evening to enjoy the lantern festival in the city.

Wherever this woman goes, she attracts countless admiring glances, because she is beautiful and beautiful, and has a tall and icy muscle, which is rare to see in Guanzhong.

During the period, naturally, many Guanzhong children took the initiative to flirt, one after another.

Those whose family background is not strong enough, take the initiative to back down and step up from the strong background. For a while, it seems that the whole capital knows that in Dongshi, there is a peerless beauty at night.

Countless aristocratic families began to pour into Dongshi.

After receiving the news, Yang Yinjiang couldn't help but want to see this girl's true face in Lushan. She used to show her face on the street, but she wasn't such a sensation.

On the bustling long street, there are huge crowds of people, and the water can't get through.

"Hello, lady, His Royal Highness King Qi invited you into the mansion for a while, and I hope you will appreciate me," Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile as he stepped forward, clasping his hands together.

Now it's all right, there is no one tougher than Yang Hao, the children of the aristocratic family retreated to the side angrily, with frustration written all over their faces.

Of course Wang Zhuoling had heard about the reputation of King Qi, and frowned when he heard this, he said:
"Minnv is just visiting the capital with her family, and cannot be honored by His Royal Highness King Qi's kind invitation. Please reply to King Qi, and forgive Minnv for not being able to go."

Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I won't force you, my lady please."

After taking the initiative to get out of the way, Zhang Xiaobao returned to the palace to report.

He is different from Yang Hao's other scumbags. He is only responsible for probing, not arresting.

"You don't have to drink a toast, you don't have to drink a fine wine," Yang Hao sneered after receiving the reply, and ordered the left and right.

In the middle of the night that day, a group of [-] palace guards forcibly took Wang Zhuoling away in Jinyang Tower.
