Emperor Sui Yang

After Crown Princess Wei Ying was imprisoned, Yang Ming didn't know what was going on in the East Palace.

But Pei Yun knew that because Pei Yun was also the young minister of Dali Temple and was in charge of investigating the scandal between Wei Ying and Yang Hao, Yang Ming's question was actually insinuating how the case was going.

Of course it's not very good, it can be said that he has no clue, Pei Yun guessed what Yang Ming wanted to hear, and said distressedly:
"The Crown Princess was imprisoned, and the courtiers knew it well, but no one dared to talk about it in private. When talking about this matter, His Majesty's order for us was also to investigate secretly, but it has been so long, and the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple have not yet Given any clues, where did the rumors first come from? So far, there is no clue.”

Yang Ming asked, "Has Your Majesty asked you?"

"There were a few times in the past, but I haven't asked any more recently," Pei Yun said.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Pei Gong is a smart man, and he is good at figuring out His Majesty's thoughts. What do you think will happen if this case is dragged to the end?"

"It's likely to be nothing," Pei Yun said honestly, "Your Majesty doesn't seem to want to pursue the matter anymore, so we and the Ministry of Punishment are just going through the motions as a matter of routine, and when the limelight has completely passed, we will stop investigating. After all, it involves the dignity of the royal family." , We were also worried when we checked it out."

Yang Ming nodded.

The father no longer pursued it, but just wanted to downplay the matter, and it seemed that Yang Hao had escaped again.

Although Yang Yue's move was very risky, it was very effective. It broke up the alliance between Yang Wei and Wei Ying, which was beneficial to Yang Ming.

In the early morning of the next day, in addition to the official promulgation of the Daye Law at the court meeting, and the fact that Changsun Sheng went directly north from Fuqi City to the Turkic royal court, Yang Guang named Gao Jiong as Doctor Guanglu in front of the officials.

The day before yesterday, Yu Wenshu, who had scolded Gao Jiong at the court meeting, immediately changed their faces and congratulated Gao Jiong with smiling faces.

When Gao Jiong started flattering the emperor, everyone had to be careful.

Because the gold content of other people's flattery is not high enough, only Gao Jiong's flattery can make the emperor feel refreshed. From today on, Gao Jiong will support whatever Yang Guang says.

This year's spring outing is about to begin, and the court meeting began to discuss who will host this time.

The hosts of the spring outing have always been members of the royal family. Others are not qualified, because the spring outing is an annual large-scale blind date for the big family, and the royal family must control the scene, because the family marriage has a far-reaching impact. Affect the court structure.

This is why it is so important for young people's blind dates to be placed in the court.

At present, there are only a few people to choose from, Empress Xiao, Yang Lihua, Yang Ming, Yang Hao, and Yang Xiong.

The canal project was about to start, Yang Guang was worried that the third son, Yang Ming, would make trouble, so he deliberately sent Yang Ming away, besides, the third son had a clear mind, which families could marry and which ones could not, the third son had a sense of proportion.

"Let King Qin handle this matter," Yang Guang finally made a decision.

Yang Ming was also willing to go out to relax. Attending the court meeting every day was actually very hard work. There was no time to stop arguing with this and that. It was actually quite nice to have a vacation.

Others also wanted him to leave, because Yang Ming's reign would make many people feel depressed.

This year's spring outing, in mid-March, the weather is still a bit cold, but the cold weather can't stop the restless hearts of young people.

Yang Ming didn't go to the court meeting the next day. The reason was that Zhang Luo's spring outing was not needed. It was just an excuse to ask for leave.

He originally planned to bring Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying with him, but they were unwilling to go, because they were already married and mothers, and they didn't want to show their faces. Chen Shuyi still had frequent dealings with their old Chen family, not to mention Shen Wuhua also came back So Chen Shuyi is often not at home.

Then there was only Yan Xiaotang left.

After compiling the Sui Emperor's tour song, Gao Yue's merits and virtues have been completed, and she has returned to the palace from Jinyang Tower. After she heard about this, she hoped that Yang Ming would also take her with her.

Yang Ming agreed.

This year's spring outing will be the largest since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, because the southern family has completely entered.

If in the past only a small number of aristocratic families who had a good relationship with Yang Guang had the opportunity to participate in the spring outing, then this year, the South will undoubtedly replace the powerful families in Guanzhong as the protagonists, because many of these aristocratic families are coming to Guanzhong for the first time, and there are even savage.

Yang Guangxiong had a rough idea. In the second year after the opening of the canal, the great integration of the north and the south had begun, which was undoubtedly of great benefit to the unification of the entire country.

The situation where the north is strong and the south is weak is gradually easing. The north has the power and the south has money, and each gets what he needs.

Marriage is the best fusion.

The folks in the north are suffering, but this does not affect the noble children of the big family to rush to Guanzhong in fresh clothes and angry horses.

Yang Ming arranged for Yang Xuanting to be responsible for the security of the spring outing, and transferred 1 people from Youhouwei, while Yang Ming himself would bring his trilogy and arrive at the last moment.

This year's spring outing was still in the Zhongnan Mountain area, quite close to the spring outing that Yang Ming participated in that time, and this time the camp was a little further south.

There are eight major families in the south, among them, the surnames of overseas Chinese in Guojiang are dominated by Wang, Xie, Yuan, and Xiao, and the surnames of Wu in the southeast are dominated by Zhu, Zhang, Gu, and Lu.

The clans in the north are all county surnames. Shandong (the area east of Xiaoshan and Hanguguan) is dominated by Wang, Cui, Lu, Li, and Zheng, and Wei, Pei, Liu, Xue, Yang, Du, and Li in Guanzhong.

Daibei (north of Hebei, Shanxi) is the surname of Lu, and Yuan, Changsun, Yuwen, Dugu, Yu, Lu, Yuan, and Dou are Da.

This is the vested interest group that controlled the local area in the true sense of the Sui Dynasty. Whether the world is chaotic or not, they have the final say.

It is not easy to control the marriage between these people, because each family has its own calculations, and they only consider their own interests, not the royal family's ideas.

And what Yang Ming wanted to do was to make them waste their efforts.

On March [-]th, Yang Ming's convoy set off. When they arrived at the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Xuan Ting would lead an army to meet him and guide Yang Ming to his station.

Yang Xuanting was very happy to take over this beautiful job, because he could take the opportunity to sleep with more Jiangnan beauties. After all, Hongnong Yang was the head of the family, and he looked down on the southern family in his bones.

Xuan Ting's official wife was born in the Yuan family of Luoyang, but Xuan Ting is a machismo, his wife can't control him, and he also inherited the lustful nature of the old Yang family. As soon as he arrived at the camp, he had already set his sights on several daughters from rich families. .

This spring outing camp is [-] miles from east to west and [-] miles from north to south, full of tents, and it is unprecedentedly lively.

Yang Ming's residence is located in the center of the heart, next to a small clear river.

As soon as he came, all the principals of the family had to come to greet him, and Yang Ming also received them in the big tent.

There are more familiar faces and more unfamiliar faces.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, as Yang Ming's translators, accompanied Yang Ming on both sides, because Yang Ming couldn't understand many local dialects. Fang and Du had limited knowledge and didn't understand much. Leading several translators.

The principals sent by the Lanling Xiao Clan this time are big enough, Shangyi Fengyu, Xiao Jing, the chief officer of the Provincial Clothes Bureau in the palace.

Yu Shiji was in charge of the palace inspection, so Xiao Jing was Yu Shiji's subordinate, but Yu Shiji didn't dare to take care of others, because Xiao Jing was Empress Xiao's elder brother and Yang Ming's fourth uncle.

Shangyi Fengyu is mainly responsible for the emperor's clothes, pure idleness, so Xiao Jing has the time to come to the camp to preside over family affairs.

"Give uncle a seat first," Yang Ming waved to Xu Jing who was beside him, and the latter immediately brought a wooden pier and asked Xiao Jing to sit down.

The rank is not high, and the treatment is quite good, which is called a good background.

"It's hard for my uncle to find time to preside over the family affairs in his busy schedule. This matter should have been taken care of by other people," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Although the relationship with Yang Ming is unfamiliar, Xiao Jing also felt that he had a long face in front of so many people, so he gave face, so he smiled and said:
"It's the queen's order, and I can't help but come."

"So that's how it is," Yang Ming smiled and nodded. Yang Ming could still understand the dialect of his mother's natal family. After all, my mother has always spoken in her hometown dialect until now, and my father Yang Guang always said the same thing. The more you listen, the more you will speak.

Yang Guang's language talent is amazing, he can speak Xianbei dialect, Guanzhong dialect, Wu dialect, Henan dialect, and even understand a little Turkic dialect.

A large part of the reason why southern women are attractive is that they speak nicely, softly and softly, as if they are tickling their ears.

Unlike some places, no matter how good-looking they are, they are finished as soon as they open their mouths.

In the big tent, the people standing in front are all powerful people in Guanzhong. The Hongnong Yang family who came out this time is also a big shot, Yang Su Yangyue's younger brother, Wannian county magistrate Yang Yue, and Fang Xuanling's father-in-law.

What happened this year?The big families seem to value this spring outing very much.

"Give Cangshan a seat," Yang Ming said again.

Yang Yue is Yang Yinjiang's uncle and belongs to Yang Ming's relatives, so of course he has to give face.

Yang Yue smiled and thanked him, and sat down slowly.

Jingzhao Wei, good guy, Wei Yue has come out in person, the youngest son of Xiaoyao Gong Wei Yi, Wei Chong's younger brother, a big idler, he has nothing to do except eat, sleep and play every day.

This old boy is also unlucky. He offended Yang Jian. Don't even think about getting ahead in this life. Among Wei Yi's sons, he is still alive now. I heard that the five dead brothers gave him a lot of property, so This kid is very rich.

All six brothers have titles, and Wei Yue is the Duke of Guancheng County.

"Give me a seat," Yang Ming said, this person's seniority is too high, and now he is the boss of Xiaoyao Gongfang, so it's impossible not to give face.

As for the person in charge of the old Yang family's visit this time, Yang Ming was dumbfounded. The other party's camp was far away from here, so he came late.

Yang Ming personally went out to greet him:

"Fourth Uncle lost weight."

Shu King Yang Xiu, who had been imprisoned in the palace for six years, was finally able to come out to let the wind go.

Yang Xiu is no longer the king of Shu, but a commoner, I saw him wryly smiling and shaking his head:

"I can't afford to be personally welcomed by the King of Qin, I'm ashamed."

"One family doesn't talk about two different languages. You are my fourth uncle and I am your nephew. This will never change." Yang Ming directly took Yang Xiu's arm and entered the tent.

His mood at this time is very complicated.

This year's spring outing is not easy, all the gods have been dispatched.
