Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 293 Capital Defense
This time when he left Beijing, Yang Guang naturally had to arrange it carefully, because he didn't come back after a tour, he planned to live in Luoyang permanently.

Is the capital tired?No, in fact, Yang Guang also has feelings for the capital, but not as deep as he has feelings for Jiangdu.

He went to Luoyang to keep an eye on the canal project. As soon as the canal opened, he would go south to patrol the river capital.

As the saying goes, wealth does not return home, just like walking in brocade clothes at night.

He is the emperor now, so he desperately wants to go to Jiangdu, to have a good time in front of those old people. This is a kind of vanity.

What's more, Mrs. Ronghua Chen's health is getting worse and worse. Yang Guang once promised her that he would take her back to her hometown in the south of the Yangtze River.

Regardless of Yang Guang's promises to men, most of them are false, but his promises to women are especially serious, which is called machismo.

Yang Guang will transfer 6 people to the Guanzhong Military Mansion to go to Luoyang with him, and the rest will be controlled by Qin Wang Yang Ming, who is called the commander-in-chief of the capital defense in name.

More than half of the ministers above the third grade will follow Yang Guang, and the rest will follow Yang Ming.

In this way, two courts, one big and one small, will be formed. Where Yang Guang is located is the big court, and where Yang Ming is located is the small court. Bungled.

Yang Guang was worried that the third child would attack the East Palace, so the princess Wei Ying would take the three sons to Luoyang.

Although two of them were concubines and not Wei Yingsheng, they had to call Wei Ying concubine mother and their biological mother aunt.

In the imperial city, carriages filled with various classics and files have already begun to leave Beijing. The family members of the officials have already packed their bags and headed to Luoyang one step ahead of schedule.

On this day, Yang Guang called his two sons to have dinner with the couple.

The scene was very ridiculous, Yang Ming was lying on the side, and needed to be fed by Empress Xiao's maid with chopsticks.

Seeing this situation, Yang Guang laughed from time to time, causing Empress Xiao to roll her eyes. You beat me, can you still laugh?

Even though Yang Ming was injured on his back, he couldn't sit. Once he sat, his entire back muscles would be stretched, which would cause severe pain.

Yang Guang said with a smile: "Ming'er's whip is very cost-effective. I am very relieved when Gao Jiong's prodigal son turns around."

"Father, please be careful of Gao Jiong's inconsistency," Yang Wei interjected ignorant of current affairs. He had no choice but to say that he didn't want to see Gao Jiong become a party member of the Qin Dynasty. This person was more terrifying than Yang Su.

Yang Guang glared at him and said, "You mean, I don't know how to judge people? Do you still need to remind me?"

"No, no, my son didn't mean that, but he felt that what Gao Jiong did this time was not like Gao Jiong," Yang Wei said.

Empress Xiao smiled and said: "It's a matter of family and life, so I can't help him not bowing his head. I also know that Mr. Dugu really has his heart towards the court and has no selfish intentions. As for whether his heart is towards your father, your father's heart is more important than yours. clear."

Yang Hao smirked and nodded, and there was no chance of winning in a one-on-two match, so we couldn't talk about this topic.

At this time, Yang Guang suddenly said: "Some time ago, Yu Wenshu mentioned to me that he intends to give you his youngest daughter as a princess. What do you think?"

Yang Ming was taken aback, and looked straight at the second child.

Yang Hao smiled and nodded: "The position of concubine is vacant, and there is no one to take care of the son, so it is indeed time to marry a princess."

"How many daughters does Yu Wenshu have?" Yang Ming asked suddenly.

Yang Hao laughed and said, "Your third son, you know what to ask. There are only two daughters, one is the elder brother's side concubine, and the other is unmarried."

"Oh." Yang Ming nodded and said nothing more.

But Yang Hao suddenly noticed that the faces of the royal father and the queen mother suddenly became gloomy. After a while, he came to his senses and cursed Yang Ming for being a sinister bastard in his heart.

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, right?
Yang Guang and his wife haven't forgotten the scandal of his having an affair with his wife and sister.

Although the prince Yang Zhao passed away, the crown prince Wei Ying and side concubine Yuwen Chamin still lived in the East Palace because the crown prince was not established.

Once the reserve position is clear, both of them have to leave, Yang Guang will buy another mansion for them, and the two of them will have to keep festivals for the rest of their lives.

As the saying goes, there are many gossips in front of the widow's house, and Yang Hao has a criminal record, so it's hard for Yang Guang not to think about it.

For a while, the family of four stopped talking, and the meal was destined to be tasteless.

When the two brothers left the palace, Yang Hao looked at Yang Ming on the chariot, wishing he could go up and give him a knife, while Yang Ming smiled at Yang Hao with a sinister smile.

The third, sixth and ninth are auspicious days, suitable for traveling.

On the ninth day of December, Yang Guang left Beijing.

Yang Ming had no choice but to send her off, because her image was not good, so it could only be the concubine Yang Yinjiang, who brought the eldest son out of the city to see her off.

Now, the capital became deserted in an instant. Yang Guang took away 10 people, and among the people, there were also many speculative businessmen who began to go to Luoyang to open up industries.

In the current Daxing, at least one-sixth of the population has left.

This year's Lantern Festival, Daxing will definitely not be able to do anything, but Luoyang, Tokyo, will definitely hold a special event.

Yang Ming will be in Wanchun Hall, presiding over the court meeting, it is very sad, there are not many people left.

All the chief officials of the six ministries of Shangshu Province left, eleven of the generals of the Sixteenth Guards left, and the rest were all irrelevant, including Yang Ming.

In fact, Yang Ming also knew in his heart that even though he is the guard of the capital, it is best not to mess around, make policies, and do things with great fanfare during his small court meeting. He should be low-key and reserved. Otherwise, my father in Luoyang would think he was in a hurry to go up.

Besides, he can't do it either, do you think Dad won't guard against him?

Therefore, the small court meeting in Wanchun Palace is just a form, and it is only necessary to be responsible for finishing the things arranged by Yang Guang.

This kind of court meeting, Yang Ming seemed redundant, so he didn't waste everyone's time, and went back to the various ministries early to perform their duties.

It wasn't until the end of the new year that Yang Ming was finally able to walk freely. During this period, he went to see Gao Jiong and Yang Xiong.

Yang Xiong didn't go to Luoyang with him, he was getting old and didn't want to travel around anymore, but the eldest son Yang Gongren went.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely support you with all my strength," Yang Xiong said straight to the point.

Now that the emperor and empress are gone, he has nothing to shy away from meeting Yang Ming.

Mingren didn't speak secretly, Yang Ming said: "The king of Hejian seems to be in poor health recently. I intend to visit, but I am afraid of being abrupt. I also hope that the king of Guan can help to introduce him."

"For a few small things, the old man is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse," Yang Xiong said with a smile.

In fact, Yang Ming and Hejian King Yang Hong are closer in blood, because Yang Hong is the cousin of grandfather Yang Jian.

But all along, he has never had any friendship with them, so it is a bit presumptuous to go there suddenly, and it is best to have a middleman.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Then let's make an appointment?"

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day," said Yang Xiong, his tone suddenly froze, he thought for a while and said: "Then tomorrow."

Nima, I thought it was today, you are bumping into tomorrow if you bump into the sun?
"Okay," Yang Ming nodded with a smile.

At this time, Yang Xiong suddenly smiled and said: "My granddaughter still lives in that small courtyard. The old man has also persuaded me many times in private. Since you don't want to please King Qin, you should go home early. Living there alone is fine." It’s not safe, she just won’t listen.”

Is it really not safe?Does anyone in the capital dare to touch your granddaughter?The one who dared to move has already gone to Luoyang with his parents.

Of course Yang Ming knew what the other party meant, and said with a smile, "I'll go and see her when I'm free."

Yang Xiong succeeded in his treacherous plan and laughed heartily.

Yang Ming also laughed.

He is in need right now, and some conditions must be agreed to.

Before the queen mother left, she also urged him to have a good relationship with Yang Xiong and Yang Hong, and she would help her sleep in Luoyang.

Yang Ming wouldn't doubt that his aunt was drawing big cakes for him, because Empress Xiao was an honest person.

Isn't it just a woman?Even if she is brought home, Yin Jiang will treat her, and there will be no troubles.

So that evening, Yang Ming went to the small courtyard.

Different from the last time, this time, the small courtyard is not as desolate as last time, every corner is neatly arranged, and the atmosphere of fireworks is stronger.

Except for Su Lie and Chen Kui, the other guards were all guarding outside the courtyard.

There are only two old servants, four maids, and Yan Xiaotang here.

The place is a bit out of the way, but there is absolutely no problem with safety. Yang Xiong must have greeted Wu Houwei, so no one dared to harass the owner of this small courtyard.

The moment she saw Yang Ming, Yan Xiaotang, who had just climbed up from the cellar, froze on the spot. She was completely dressed as a peasant woman, holding a few green radishes in her arms.

Yang Ming said lightly, "Eat radish at night?"

Yan Xiaotang nodded quickly: "Make porridge with corn, add some radish, digest food and dissipate heat, and drive away evil heat."

Pretty good at keeping healthy, Yang Ming nodded and said, "Go do it, you'll be eating tonight."

"Okay, please feel free, Your Highness," Yan Xiaotang smiled and saluted, and went to the kitchen to make arrangements.

When Yang Ming came to the backyard, he found that there were many trees planted here, but except for the cluster of bamboos which were still green, the others were all withered and yellow.

It's normal in winter.

Yang Ming entered the house alone, and found that the inside had indeed changed a lot. All the layouts could be seen. The owner was quite elegant and understood life.

It seemed that she had indeed been living here.

Suddenly, Yang Ming suddenly became interested in a painting hanging on the wall. He picked up the oil lamp on the table and moved closer to him.

In fact, he doesn't know how to appreciate paintings, but he just thinks that the painters are very good.

Awesome!It is the highest rating.

"Does your Highness like this painting too?"

Yan Xiaotang, who came in suddenly, walked so lightly that Yang Ming didn't notice it at all, so he couldn't help being taken aback.

"Where did this painting come from?" Yang Ming turned around and asked.

Yan Xiaotang said: "Originally, it was Ziyu's painting that was collected by my uncle and exhibited. The scenery in the painting was a spring outing. My uncle didn't like it, but the daughter of the people loved it, so I asked for it."

It can't be the picture of Youchun, right?Yang Ming nodded: "You have a good eye."

Yan Xiaotang smiled, placed the food in the tray on the table, and then added a few lamps to stand aside.

Yang Ming started to eat,
During this period, Yan Xiaotang noticed some casual movements of Yang Ming, so she whispered:

"Your Highness has a back injury, have you taken any medicine today?"

Yang Ming said lightly, "Not yet."

"Can you allow the girl to dispense medicine for His Highness?" Yan Xiaotang asked.

Yang Ming was stunned and said, "Are you good at medicine?"

Yan Xiaotang smiled and said: "I don't dare to speak clearly, but I still understand how to use medicine for trauma. My grandfather (Yan Rong) fought all the year round, and he often had trauma. When Minnv was young, he often gave grandfather medicine, and the medicine worked well. "

Yang Ming nodded: "Then you can try."
