Emperor Sui Yang

Yang Guang is one of the top three tyrants in history. In order to fight for the crown prince, he also attacked his brothers, but this does not fully explain that he does not value family affection.

Seeing that the elder sister got angry and was about to leave with a flick of her sleeves, Yang Guang hurriedly came out from behind the dragon case, and said helplessly:

"Sister, stay back, it's because I spoke too harshly just now."

Yang Lihua stopped and sighed: "You have been in the south of the Yangtze River for too long. I don't know what kind of meritorious service Dugu Gong made to me in the Sui Dynasty. My sister just wants to tell you that you can kill anyone, but you can't move." he."

After finishing speaking, Yang Lihua turned around and said:

"Dugu is a role model for the courtiers. Whether it is Su Wei, Yang Su or Niu Hong, they have been secretly imitating him all the time, so that when the father and emperor were here, the government and the opposition were peaceful, and the virtuous ministers were full of springs. It was because they took Dugu as a lesson. You kill Dugu , they will lose their role models, and they will feel that it was all wrong to learn from Dugu before."

"Throughout the founding of our country in the Sui Dynasty, is there anyone more loyal than Gao Jiong?"

Yang Guang knew of Gao Jiong's loyalty, but he felt that Gao Jiong was loyal to Ersheng, not him. This was actually his illusion.

Because when Yang Jian was there, he could listen to the advice of the officials, but he couldn't listen, so he felt that Gao Jiong's words were extremely harsh, and he thought that Gao Jiong looked down on him.

In fact, when Yang Guang was the king of Jin, Gao Jiong really looked down on him, but after Yang Guang came to the throne, Gao Jiong had no thought of despising him, because everything Yang Guang did was actually very far-sighted , It's just too urgent.

The cub seller Tian didn't feel sorry for him, and Yang Guang squandered the rich wealth accumulated by Yang Jian without blinking his eyes.

But Gao Jiong looked distressed, because he knew how difficult it is to accumulate this family business.

"Forget it, since my sister said so, I will let him go, but someone has to warn him, keep his mouth shut, and stop discussing world affairs." Yang Guang took the initiative to make concessions, saying: "As long as he takes care of it from now on." Take good care of your own mouth, and I will allow him to take care of himself for the rest of his life."

Yang Lihua sighed, nodded and said, "I'll tell him. Also, don't whip Yang Ming all the time in the future. When Auntie is here, I don't want to punish him once."

"It's just Aunt who spoiled him," Yang Guang became angry instantly when Yang Ming was mentioned:
"It's only natural for me to punish my parents for my body, hair and skin. This kid's wings are hardened. Now he dares to embarrass me at the court meeting. If he doesn't deal with him, will he be forced to abdicate in the future?"

Yang Lihua stared at her younger brother strangely, and said:
"The more you talk, the more outrageous it is. Okay, okay, I've hit him. It's too late for me to intercede. I'll visit him and see how he is doing."

"Sister, don't go," Yang Guang said with a frown, "I found that you dote on him too much. This is not good, and it is easy to breed arrogance in him. I have deliberately left him cold recently, just to make him sober, don't think that the boss is not here, This position is his, and what I give him is his.”

"All right, all right, I'm not going," Yang Lihua shook her head helplessly, it's still difficult for upright officials to decide on family affairs, and the emperor's family affairs are even more complicated to give people a headache.

Yang Ming was punished this time, and he was seriously injured. Although the guards in charge of executing the punishment were already merciful, those who had to experience the pain of the whip hitting the flesh would not be able to understand it.

From the Imperial Medical Office, he was carried to Yong'an Palace, where Empress Xiao has been watching over him.

The two guards who were in charge of executing the punishment were kneeling at the gate of Yong'an Palace right now, and they couldn't feel at ease if they didn't receive a punishment today.

Fortunately, Queen Renyi knew it was not their fault and let them go.

On the side of Prince Qin's mansion, they received a big gift from Yang Wei, money, food, silk, twenty carts.

And it was delivered by Yang Hao himself.

"I'm so happy. I didn't expect Ah Yun to give Brother Ming another son. Brother and sister, why don't you send someone to the palace to announce the good news?" It was a coincidence that Yang Hao came this time, just in time for Pei Shuying to give birth.

After Yang Yinjiang learned that her husband was punished, her heart ached to death, especially when Yang Hao added fuel and vinegar, which was very exaggerated.

Right now, she couldn't care less about greeting the other party, so she asked people to prepare a car to drive, and she wanted to enter the palace to visit her husband in person, and report the good news to the emperor and empress by the way.

Yang Hao also hurried back to the mansion to prepare a congratulatory gift for his new nephew. He had to prepare two copies, one to congratulate the father and the empress, and one to congratulate the third son on the congratulations of having a baby.

He is now bent on currying favor with Yang Ming, so he is very willing. Don't think that what Yang Ming withheld back then was all his belongings. As the so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit, Yang Hao has several small coffers where money is hidden in the Jingzhao area.

The son-in-law, Pei Xuanji, is now the general of Zuo Beishen's mansion, and he is under Li Yuan's management in name, but Li Yuan, a cunning old man, will definitely not control others, and even try to make friends.

After learning that his sister had given birth to the emperor's grandson, he also came to Qin Palace to visit with Princess Yang Chan immediately.

He was in a good mood, because his elder sister was upbeat and gave birth to a son. With Yang Ming's current prestige, the child would be crowned king within a full moon.

It's a pity that he couldn't see Pei Shuying's face, because Pei Shuying was the queen's concubine, she was the emperor's daughter-in-law, and she belonged to the royal family. Regardless of Pei Xuanji's son-in-law and his own brother, he was also a foreigner.

Foreign men are not allowed to enter the room to visit.

Today's Prince Qin's Mansion, all the clans of the Yang family have come.

"The daughter-in-law reported to the emperor that the side concubine Pei gave birth to a son, and the mother and child are safe," Yang Yinjiang said on the tray held in her hand, on which was the child's birth date.

Yang Guangda was overjoyed, and asked people to send the birthday list to Zongzheng Temple for inclusion in the genealogy.

"Tell Zongzheng Temple, according to the regulations, how to reward, just reward like this."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty," Takano happily went down to work.

Yang Guang was also in a good mood, looked at Yang Yinjiang, and said with a smile:
"I knew from the beginning that it must be the emperor's grandson, and that would be Yang Jin."

Then, Yang Guang ordered someone to fetch a thick book, which recorded the division of administrative regions in the Sui Dynasty.

Seeing this, Yang Yinjiang was overjoyed, because she was about to be crowned king.

I saw Yang Guang browse carefully page by page. After a while, he nodded and said:

"The canal will be opened this year. The canal starts from Xingyang. In this year of prosperity for the country, let Xingyang be his fiefdom."

"My daughter-in-law, on behalf of the Pei family, kowtows to my father," Yang Yinjiang bowed her head and saluted.

Yang Guang said with a smile: "The queen doesn't know about this happy event yet, the third child has been punished, and he is now in Yong'an Palace, you can go."

"My daughter-in-law is resigning," Yang Yinjiang said happily.

In the Great Sui Dynasty, depending on the place, the north is respected and the south is humble. The north is the best, and in the north, Guanzhong is the top, Henan is second, Shanxi and Hebei are second, and Shandong is the bottom.

Xingyang is a prefecture-level city in Zhengzhou in the later generations. Now Yuzhou, Xingyang is also a good place after Luoyang. There is also a first-line family here, the Zheng family of Xingyang.

The Zheng family takes the title of the country as its surname, which originated from the fiefdom of Ji You, the younger brother of King Xuan of Zhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The name of Zheng Guo and Zhengzhou also came from this.

It can be seen that the three brothers of Yang Ming were crowned kings. The eldest son, Yang Zhao, was the eldest grandson with the most respected status. The nearest King of Hedong in Guanzhong.

So Yang Yinjiang is very concerned about how and where Yang Guang is sealed, which means that Pei Shuying's son is valued.

In fact, Yang Guang had taken Pei Ju's face into consideration in such a way. He especially valued Pei Ju. Pei Ju now represented the Great Sui Dynasty and joined forces among the countries in the Western Regions, so he was Yang Guang's talker.

After Yang Yinjiang saw her husband's miserable condition, she just wept and wiped her tears blindly. She dared not complain.

The more she cried, the more empress Xiao couldn't bear it, and she complained that Yang Guang was too aggressive, so as to relieve her daughter-in-law's grievances.

"Ming'er will stay with me these days. She will go back after her injury is healed. Ayun needs someone to take care of her right now. Don't stay too long," Queen Xiao said.

Regarding Pei Shuying's birth, Queen Xiao was also happy, but it was different from Yang Guang's.

This is the difference in concept. From Yang Guang's point of view, Yang Ming's first-born son is a branch of the Yang family, and will become a part of consolidating the imperial power in the future. But in the eyes of Empress Xiao, it is a grandson, belonging to a generational relative. , not as complicated as Yang Guang.

Yang Yinjiang really didn't want to leave, so she didn't say a word and responded with silence.

In her opinion, there are so many people in the palace, enough to take care of Pei Shuying, she doesn't need to rush around, but if her husband is injured, how can she not take care of her as a wife?
Empress Xiao frowned and said: "Wang's mansion has a baby, Ming'er is not here, as a princess, how can you not go back to preside over the overall situation, when all the guests arrive, but the master's house is not there, what's the reason?"

Yang Yinjiang nodded helplessly, and let go of Yang Ming's hand.

After she left, Empress Xiao leaned over and smiled at Yang Ming, "She's a good daughter-in-law, better than those two surnamed Wei."

Just as Yang Ming was about to speak, he hurt his back and let out a wail.
This time, Yang Xuangan really worked hard. Since he came to the palace and found out that his daughter was not there, he took her place to greet the guests at the palace. He took care of everything by himself.

Yang Su is here, Yang Su is not, Yang Xuangan is completely two people, in other words, it is Yang Xuangan who is supported by someone and Yang Xuangan who is not supported.

From now on, he has to be on his own. He made mistakes, but no one wiped his ass.

And he also knew that his Minister of Rites was won by Yang Ming for him, so he was very grateful to his daughter, even though she scolded him all day long, she was unambiguous in major matters.

Pei Shuying's birth had nothing to do with Mao, but Yang Xuangan felt that it was very necessary for him to have a good relationship with Pei Ju right now.

"Today the Patriarch is not here, so I will overstep. I will offer you a toast on behalf of the princess," Yang Xuangan said with a flushed face.

There were only seven or eight people in the room, but these people were all surnamed Yang.

Yang Xiong joked: "Chang Wenxuangan is most afraid of the princess, do you have any sore feet and the princess is holding her in her hand?"

"No, no, I am the only concubine daughter who has been doted on and spoiled since she was a child," Yang Xuan said with a sense of emotion.

"Hey..." Yang Gongren hurriedly got up, and said with a smile, "Mysterious sense means, you spoiled the princess?"

Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "If you make a slip of the tongue, Gong Ren shouldn't make fun of me."

The crowd burst into laughter.

It is true that Yang Yinjiang is his daughter, but now that she is the emperor's daughter-in-law, there is a distinction between superiority and inferiority, so Yang Xuangan cannot say that she has "spoiled" the princess.

Of course, this is just a joke among everyone.

It depends on the emperor's mood whether ethics comes first or honor and inferiority come first. The emperor is above all etiquette and legal system.

Many of the criminal laws contained in "Kaihuang Law" are ambiguous, leaving room for them. That is to say, if the emperor wants to rule you with laws, he can choose one for you no matter what.

Using ambiguous laws to govern crimes that are justified and well-spoken, this is where the drawbacks of the laws of the Sui Dynasty lie.
