Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 251
Yang Su is 62 years old this year. When he was young, he fought in the north and south, and accumulated many stubborn diseases. When he was in good health, he could still bear it. Once he had a serious illness, various roots of the disease would also come to the fore.

This time, he has been sick at home for more than a month.

Yang Ming came to visit, no less than ten times, and each time, the two of them could chat for a long time. It seemed that Yang Su could talk so much only with Yang Ming.

In the dormitory, after Yang Su sent away several beautiful servants, only Feng Deyi (yi) was left to entertain Yang Ming.

This well-known figure in the early Tang Dynasty, 38 years old this year, was born as Yang Su's staff. He was recommended by Yang Su during the Kaihuang period and served as an internal historian for a short period of time. Now, as Yang Su's deputy, he helped He is in charge of the affairs of Tokyo Construction.

Feng Deyi moved a small bench and sat far away, adding charcoal to the stove.

Yang Su leaned on the couch, glanced at Pei Shuying, smiled on her skinny cheeks, and said:
"New life, old death, forever unchanged."

Pei Shuying hurriedly said: "Mr. Yue is serious, your health will get better, don't say such self-pitying words."

Yang Su smiled, and said to Feng Deyi: "Deyi, take out your majesty's will and let the King of Qin have a look."

Feng Deyi nodded, got up and found a small box, opened it, took out the apricot scroll in it, and handed it to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming unfolded it to take a look, and then handed it to Pei Shuying, who also looked at it.

Emperor Yang Guang granted Yang Su the Duke of Chu, with [-] households in Shiyi, and worshiped him as the prince and grand teacher.

So far, the three masters of the prince Yang Zhao are complete, the prince's Taishi Yang Su, the prince's Taifu Yang Xiong, and the prince's Taibao Yang Hong.

The Duke of Chu is obviously more honorable than the Duke of Yue. Jin, Qin, Qi, and Chu are the four biggest titles of kings and dukes. Gao Jiong was the Duke of Qi back then. up.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Congratulations to Duke Yue, no, it should be Duke Chu."

"Hehe." Yang Su shook his head and smiled, and said lightly: "Since the old man became seriously ill, His Majesty has sent thirteen imperial doctors to treat me, and seven of them have returned to Beijing. This decree is also their return to Beijing. Afterwards, it was sent from the capital, do you see anything?"

Yang Ming shook his head.

Yang Su smiled. He knew that Yang Ming understood, but he also knew that Yang Ming couldn't speak.

"I shouldn't be able to survive for long. If I can survive this winter, I may have half a year to live. Your Majesty, at this time, doing such a reward, I'm afraid it's just to send the old man one last time."

Yang Ming said: "Grandpa Chu has thought about it a lot, father wouldn't have such intentions, he must be looking forward to your speedy recovery."

Yang Su waved his hand, pointed to Feng Deyi, then pointed to Yang Ming and Pei Shuying, and said:

"There are no outsiders here. After a hundred years, the old man, Deyi will be handed over to His Highness to take care of him. He has been with me for nearly 20 years. Because of me, he was dismissed by the Supreme Minister of Internal History. His original bright future fell short. The old man feels ashamed of him." ah."

In the corner, Feng Deyi was silent, with his back to the three of them, and kept wiping away his tears.

This person is highly valued by Yang Su, married to Yang Su's cousin, and her hometown is Hebei, and her grandfather was Zuo Pushe, Minister of the old Qi Dynasty, so she was born in a family of officials and eunuchs.

Historically, during Li Shimin's period, Shangshu Youpushe was achieved, and the Shangshu Zuopushe at that time was Yang Ming's old uncle Xiao Yu.

Yang Ming's face was gloomy and he remained silent.
Yang Su's illness should be a liver problem. Yang Ming also asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor's answer at that time was: don't work hard, rest at ease.

Basically, it means that if it can’t be cured, let’s take it slowly.

At this time, Yang Guang gave Yang Su a special seal, somewhat in the sense of explaining his funeral, otherwise it would be fine, why did he seal it?
At this time, the medicine on the fire was ready,

Pei Shuying got up suddenly, and was about to take the medicine pot on the stove. Seeing this, Feng Deyi couldn't even say it, so she wanted to replace Pei Shuying,

Pei Shuying shook her head, took down the medicinal pot, put gauze on it, filtered the medicinal soup into a bowl, brought a spoon, and came to the sick bed,

"Mr. Yue is absolutely sincere to his husband. I have nothing to repay by myself. I can only serve and feed medicine in order to repay one or two."

Yang Su smiled and nodded: "I couldn't bear it before, but now I can bear it."

Then, Pei Shuying began to feed the medicine, the old and the young were like grandparents, one accepted it calmly, and the other took care of it carefully.

After a while, Pei Shuying wiped Yang Su's mouth, then stepped aside.

Perhaps because of the medicine, Yang Su sweated a lot on his forehead and felt much better. He smiled and said:

"When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the old man will make a request to return to Beijing to recover from his illness. The matter of Luoyang will be entrusted to His Highness."

Yang Ming nodded: "After all, it's not as good outside as at home. Going back to cultivate is always better than going elsewhere."

"Yang Yue wrote to me that the matter of the Huanghuai Canal will definitely be discussed at the court meeting next year. With His Majesty's wisdom and decisiveness, there should be no obstacles," Yang Su said slowly:

"Your Majesty intends to let the King of Qi do this matter. Then His Highness will definitely be recalled to the capital. The reason why the old man told you this is that he hopes that His Highness will have a good relationship with Yang Xiong and Yang Hong after returning to the capital. relation."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not right, Father doesn't like me getting too close to King Guan."

"This moment, that moment," Yang Su was inconvenient to say clearly about the prince Yang Zhao, but from the news sent by his confidants, it can be concluded that the prince will definitely have serious health problems within two years.

At that time, whoever gets closer to the clan will have a chance to win the crown prince.

It is very difficult for a person who does not get the support of the clan to be established as the prince. The prince is the next emperor, and it is related to the vital interests of the clan. They care more about this than anyone else.

As for Guanwang Yangxiong and Hejian Wang Yanghong, the reason why they were arranged to be the prince Taifu and the prince Taibao, the emperor's intention was to let the clan be the prince's supporters.

Yang Su continued: "Right now you have a little kindness to Yang Xiong, just take this opportunity to date, as for the matter of Gao Lande, I have already told Yang Yue that when the opportunity is right in the future, he will tell His Highness the whole story, but right now, it is not enough. "

Yang Su is finally willing to tell the truth, it seems that Gao Lande is indeed in his hands, this person has a great relationship with Chuan Guo Yuxi, and will definitely be a very key figure in the future.

After all, Yang Su was unwell. After chatting for a while, he couldn't take it any longer. He made a special trip to ask Feng Deyi to send Yang Ming and his wife away.

After Feng Deyi came back, Yang Su instructed:
"Major events may happen within two years, please remember to help me."

Feng Deyi nodded.

Yang Su lay down slowly, looked at the roof, and said indifferently: "This son is the most like a supreme being. One day in the future, he will also become ruthless and ungrateful. This is the time."

When Yang Ming received the letter from his mother, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

He didn't know what the second child did to make his aunt directly call him a rebellious son. You must know that the empress Xiao hardly lost her temper.

It is conceivable that the second child must have made a big mess this time.

So Yang Ming wrote a letter to Yang Yinjiang, asking her about her specific situation, and then called Pei Shuying and Li Xiuqing to discuss how to divide up the second child's property.

This is not a small amount. If converted into money, it is about sixty times that of Luoyang's current treasury.

Yang Ming had the opportunity to swallow so much money all of a sudden, but he was a little dazed, and even a little afraid to take it.

Pei Shuying and Li Xiuqing didn't even dare to ask for it.

"The queen mother must have said this out of anger. Husband, don't take it seriously. We can't move this money," Pei Shuying persuaded.

"Yeah, that's right," Li Xiuqing also nodded.

Yang Ming smiled, he could see that Pei Shuying was out of overall consideration and didn't want him to turn against Yang Hao completely, while Li Xiuqing felt that the amount was too large, and she was somewhat confused.

If it were Yang Yinjiang, the money must have been swallowed. The mother's will is clearly written, taking the money is to follow the order, and it is upright.

Although this is most of the second child's net worth, as long as the second child uses his brains and concentrates on making money, he can earn it back within a few years.

Pei Shuying and Li Xiuqing didn't know how to make money, and they reckoned that without the money, Yang Hao would become poor.

This is impossible, because what Yang Ming withheld was gold and silver property, and there was no land deed and house deed, and those things were long-lived properties.

After thinking for a while, Yang Ming said: "Let's divide the money into four parts, one for the father, one for the mother, one for the eldest brother, one for us, and the four families will divide it up. The second child will not dare to ask for it in the future."

Pei Shuying couldn't help but said: "Is that why you want to take this money? Our family is not short of money, is it?"

Yang Ming directly gave her a brainstorm, and said with a smile: "If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Yin Jiang would not say such things. You don't care about money, so naturally you don't understand."

In fact, Yang Ming is very short of money. This year, Yang Yinjiang allocated 20 guan for the Xiangyang Navy. Next year, where will he get the money to make up for the shortfall?
So Yang Ming definitely wanted to take the second child's money, but he didn't dare to take it alone. The last way was to share some with everyone.

According to his estimation, the queen mother was so angry this time, if he offered the money, the queen mother would definitely ask for it.

Needless to say, Dad, he wants money, that is, Yang Zhao is somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Whether to accept it or not is his business, Yang Ming just sends it.

As a result, Yang Ming divided the money collected by Yang Hao in the south of the Yangtze River for many years into four parts, and directly dispatched two military mansions around Luoyang, with a total of [-] guards, ordering them to escort the property to Beijing.

Yang Ming also knew about Yang Qing and Yang He being named generals, so he took advantage of this opportunity to let the two lead the army and escort their belongings back to Beijing to take office.

It will be a matter of time before he and the second child fall out, because Yang Ming will definitely compete for the crown prince. Yang Su has made it very clear today that the father will let Yang Wei be responsible for the matter of the canal.

In fact, no matter who is in charge, Yang Ming will find a way to hold back the other party, and the second child is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Without this money, this kid will definitely be greedy when he builds the canal. As long as he grasps the handle, Yang Ming will kill him.

Yang Ming suddenly discovered that he seemed to have gradually weakened his affection for his family now, and only then did he realize why there were so many cases of brothers killing each other in history.

The time and the situation are all for the benefit, and I cannot be spared.
