Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 294

After Yang Ming left from Guanwang Mansion, Yang Xiong immediately sent someone to Shengdaofang where Yan Xiaotang was located. He didn't return to Guanwang Mansion until he saw Yang Ming's motorcade entering Lifang.

Yang Xiong definitely didn't dare to send someone to follow Yang Ming, so he could only watch one step ahead to see if Yang Ming would go tonight.

After getting an affirmative answer, Yang Xiong was very happy. He felt that dealing with Yang Ming was so worry-free. He only needed to wake up a little, and the latter would know what he was talking about.

Being a concubine for a granddaughter seems to be of low status, but what if Yang Ming can successfully become the prince?That would make a big difference.

At that time, for the sake of my own face, my granddaughter's position will not be very low.

To treat Yang Ming's back injury, medicinal materials must be needed, but Yan Xiaotang didn't have them here, so she wrote a prescription and asked the prince's family to come and grab the medicinal materials.

Zhu Sanli, who was in charge of dispensing the medicine, also specifically asked what was the purpose of the medicine on the prescription on the cabinet of the pharmacy.

The owner of the medicine cabinet told him that it was used for trauma, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so Zhu Sanli was relieved.

It takes a lot of time to boil medicine. For Yang Ming's back injury, he has always used boiled head decoction for external application, but Yan Xiaotang's method is different. Paste, and then directly applied externally.

In the room, after getting Yang Ming's consent, Yan Xiaotang slowly took off his shirt. Looking at the scar on Yang Ming's back, Yan Xiaotang was shocked.

"Your Highness, please chew the medicine before applying it. If Your Highness minds, I don't need to swallow it," Yan Xiaotang said behind her back.

Yang Ming was stunned and said, "Why do you still have to chew?"

"Because it's not crushed enough, you have to chew more with your mouth to get out the innermost concoction," Yan Xiaotang said.

Yang Ming smiled: "Okay, just follow your own method."

"Shouldn't it be a simple method? This is me and a famous doctor in Youzhou," Yan Xiaotang said with a smile: "Your Highness, please go to bed."

Yang Ming nodded, came to lie down on the bed, and then saw the other party grab a ball of broken medicine and put it in his mouth. In an instant, Yan Xiaotang's entire face was deformed by the smell of the medicine.

Obviously, she was working hard to persevere, and Yang Ming looked bitter.

After a while, Yan Xiaotang spit the foam into the palm of his hand, then came to the bedside, and gently applied it on Yang Ming's back.

It's cool and comfortable.

"Your Highness's injury will take at least half a month of medication before the scab will completely heal. When the scab is scabbed, there is no need to use any more medication," Yan Xiaotang said softly.

Yang Ming hummed.

Yan Xiaotang continued: "His Highness sleeps tonight, and if he wakes up tomorrow and finds that the medicine is effective, can the girl be allowed to continue serving His Highness for the next half month?"

"Let's see," Yang Ming said casually, and a look of disappointment flashed across Yan Xiaotang's face.

Next, following the steps just now, Yan Xiaotang applied medicine to every injury on Yang Ming's back.

"Wait for half an hour, and the girl will clean up the medicine foam for His Highness," Yan Xiaotang said.

Yang Ming still hummed, he was a little dozed off, especially the current posture, which made him drowsy even more.

Yan Xiaotang was watching from the side.

When Yang Ming woke up, the drug foam on his back had been cleaned up, and he asked in a daze:

"What time is it?"

"Return to Your Highness, the watch has just been reported outside, and it's time," Yan Xiaotang didn't feel sleepy at all, and he was still very energetic.

Yang Ming got up, stretched his waist, and began to put on his clothes. Seeing this, Yan Xiaotang curiously said:

"Your Highness is leaving?"

"Otherwise?" Yang Ming said.

Yan Xiaotang lowered his head and said: "Actually, Your Highness doesn't need to leave, it's snowing outside."

After Yang Ming got dressed, he said, "I'm not used to living outside."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

Chen Kui and Su Lie, who were guarding outside, had already turned white on the top of their heads, shivering from the cold.

Today, Wu Houwei knew about Yang Ming's coming to Shengdaofang. At this time, the guards on duty had long since known where to hide for warmth.

But today is different, if King Qin doesn't come out, they dare not be lazy.

So as soon as Yang Ming's convoy moved, the news had already spread. Wu Houwei, who had been squatting on the ground or hiding in a corner sheltered from the wind, rushed into the main street one after another, pretending to be patrolling.

Wherever Yang Ming's convoy passed, guards stood solemnly on both sides of the street, and everyone held up their torches to illuminate the way forward for the convoy.

In the absence of the emperor, Yang Ming is the biggest mountain in the capital.

The hussar general Liang Shidu happened to be on duty tonight. He guessed that King Qin was going back to his residence, so he hurriedly recruited men to clear the snow on Yang Ming's only way home.

Shengdaofang is located in the south of the city, next to Yanxing Gate, the east gate of Daxing. The security of this place is not good, because it is close to the city gate, there are many people and thieves.

Liang Shidu used to make a fortune from this, but now, he must take care of the law and order. If he doesn't make money, he will be slapped down by the King of Qin.

Because he knew who lived in that house.

Most likely, this woman is about to take over, and there will be no problems with the law and order of Shengdaofang in the future.

So after watching Yang Ming's convoy leave, he urgently recruited his confidantes and began to arrange for a big raid in Shengdaofang tomorrow.

All those with unknown household registration, those who steal chickens and dogs, and those with previous convictions will all be driven away.

In the morning of the next day, after the meaningless court meeting, Yang Ming went to Hejian Palace together with Guan Wang Yang Xiong.

Yang Hong is a person who relies entirely on his cousin Yang Jian to get to such a prominent position today.

His grandfather, Yang Aijing, was the brother of Yang Jian's grandfather Yang Zhen. He lived in Yecheng, the former capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty when he was a child. Territory, afraid of being implicated, so I changed my grandfather's surname to Guo.

It was only after the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi that he entered Guanzhong and took refuge in his cousin Yang Jian.

Yang Shuang, the King of Wei, was the most respected during the reign of Emperor Kaihuang. After all, he was Yang Jian's younger brother, but the one with the highest prestige was Yang Xiong. Because of his outstanding ability, Yang Hong was next.

Even though Yang Hong is a two-word king, he is not as high as Cai Wang Yang Zhiji, but Yang Zhiji is the successor, and his father Yang Zheng is the first Cai Wang and Yang Jian's second brother.

In the palace, Yang Ming saw Yang Hong who was sick, and only looked at the other person's current appearance. If he could survive it, he would survive it. If he couldn't survive it, he would die soon.

This is really a new life, the old man is dead, how many important people have died this year?

"Uncle, lie down quickly, you don't need to get up," Yang Ming hurried forward and supported Yang Hong who was about to get up.

Yang Hong gasped and said: "The body is failing, and I don't know if I can survive this winter."

"Don't underestimate yourself, you are not very old." Yang Xiong sat down beside him with a heavy face, and said, "King Qin heard that you were sick, so he dragged me here in a hurry, how could you think that you are so sick? "

"Well, who knows, if you say you are sick, you will be sick. There was no sign of it before, but now it is getting worse day by day," Yang Hong said.

He had already guessed what Yang Ming was doing here.

But he also knew that he was useless. Even if he survived this winter, his illness would not be enough to support him to continue participating in the government, so he was useless to Yang Ming.

I'm afraid that the other party will not say what he originally wanted to say when he sees his appearance like this.

Yang Xiong thought so too, he thought that Yang Ming would leave after a few polite words.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ming seemed to be chatting away, chatting with Yang Hong in full swing instead of chattering.

After a while, Yang Hong glanced at Yang Xiong, then looked at Yang Ming, and said with a smile:

"People of our generation are getting old. Your Highness thinks, who else in the clan can be responsible?"

Yang Ming said with a smile: "All the sons and daughters of the family are welcome. Those who are talented should be placed in places where they can be used, such as the Eleventh Temple of Shangshu Province or a foreign office. Those who are not talented can go to the military mansion."

Yang Xiong and Yang Hong looked at each other and nodded secretly.

Because since Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he seemed to be deliberately estranged from the clan, and many important positions did not belong to the clan. Take the sixteen guards as an example, only Cai Wang Yang Zhiji was a general of the left guard.

Shang Shusheng was even worse, with thousands of people, only Yang Gongren was surnamed Yang.

There are many reasons for this, the first is because Yang Guang's position is not right, he is afraid that someone in the clan will show up and support Yang Xiu, the king of Shu who is still alive.

As for Hanwang Yang Liang, Yang Ming died when he was in Luoyang, claiming that he died of illness. As for the truth, no one will know.

Furthermore, the blood relationship between Yang Guang and Yang Xiong, Yang Hong and others is too thin.

In the past when Guozuo was founded, Yang Jian had to appoint the clan to consolidate the imperial power, but in Yang Guang's generation, he felt that he could completely guarantee the stability of the throne by himself.

So on the clan side, there are many kings and nobles, but most of them have no real power, not as good as Empress Xiao's natal family.

This violated the interests of Yang Xiong and others, so they put their hope on the late prince Yang Zhao, but Yang Zhao also died.

This is really worse.

So in the future, whoever can guarantee the interests of the clan will be supported by the clan.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Yang Guang intends to suppress the power of the clan, you really can't get around them when it comes to Li Chu.

Yang Hong continued to test again and again, and finally said slowly:

"His Royal Highness is sympathetic to the clan, which reminds me of Prince Yuande. When the prince was alive, he treated the clan very kindly. It's a pity."

After Yang Hong said, Yang Xiong sighed for a while. Yang Zhao's death was undoubtedly a heavy blow to them.

After that, the three of them chatted for a while before Yang Ming got up to leave.

After Yang Ming and Yang Xiong left, they seemed to return to their respective homes, but in fact Yang Xiong returned to the Hejian Palace after making a big circle.

Previously, Yang Hong had quietly winked at him, and Yang Xiong understood.

Yang Xiong, who returned to the Hejian Palace, saw the sick bed and asked:

"how?"

Yang Hong nodded: "Don't look at what he says, but look at what he does. This son is deep and hard to guess. Although King Qi is evil, he may not be ignorant of the world. We will support whoever benefits the most. "

Yang Xiong was stunned and said: "You dare to bet on Yang Hao, are you brave enough?"

"Only for things, not people," Yang Hong said with a smile.

Yang Xiong snorted coldly and stopped talking.
