Emperor Sui Yang

Yang Wei's side concubine was settled, and Yang Guang satisfied him, Yuan Aqi, the youngest daughter of Gongbao of Hejian County.

Yuan Bao is Yuan Xiaozheng. He is the youngest of the four brothers, and all three brothers are dead. This branch of their family is a serious descendant of the Northern Wei royal family. One of his sisters married Yu Wen, a powerful minister in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Hu, his niece is married to Yang Yong, and his nephew is Shi Yuanwendu, Yang Ming's head of Qin Palace.

Yuan Bao is 68 years old this year. He has six sons and seven daughters. The youngest, Yuan Ah Qi, is still unmarried.

He was in the same situation as Changsun Sheng. His ex-wife passed away early, and she was born in Qinghe Cui, who gave birth to three sons and three daughters. Xu Xian's wife was born in Hedongliu, and bore him the remaining children.

The current Luoyang family is basically not optimistic about Yang Hao, because of the two canal projects, Yang Hao made the people miserable and oppressed the family.

This is the case with powerful families. They will support whoever can take care of their interests. From the current point of view, Yang Hao is infringing on their interests.

But the emperor made an order, and he didn't dare to refuse, so on the day of marrying his daughter, Yuan Bao's face drooped, as if Yang Wei owed him hundreds of thousands of pennies.

The Yuan family is the least united among all the clans in Henan. There are too many branches, because their ancestors are either the king of the Northern Wei Dynasty or this king, and no one obeys the other.

But Yuanbao's branch has a very good relationship with Jingzhao Wei's Xunguo Gongfang, that is, the branch of Crown Princess Wei Ying.

Yang Hao set up a banquet in the Qi Palace and invited more than 1000 people to the banquet, including those who were famous and surnamed in the Sui Dynasty.

Marrying a daughter-in-law is a good thing, although it is a side concubine, but when the youngest Yang Ming married a side concubine, there was a lot of noise, so Yang Hao was bigger.

As a younger sibling, Pei Shuying would naturally go too.

During the banquet, Yang Hao looked at Pei Shuying and said with a smile: "I heard that Ah Yun has won a lot in Fengqing gambling house recently? Second brother didn't know you also like to play two hands?"

Zhao Guogong Dugu Zuan hurriedly said: "It's all because of the mischievous courtiers who drag the princess to go. The princess is not happy to do this."

It is not a shame to like to gamble in the Sui Dynasty, because this game was originally a game often played among the nobles, and the gambling house was full of small troubles, and the biggest game was horse racing.

Pei Shuying smiled and said, "It's a small profit, but today I used it to prepare congratulatory gifts for my second brother."

"Hey~~" Yang Hao raised his hand and said: "We are a family, don't be strangers to the second brother, I just bought several thousand pieces of high-quality brocade from Jiangnan, and your sister-in-law specially allocated [-] pieces for you. Later, I will have someone send it to your residence."

"Then I'll accept it," Pei Shuying said with a smile.

"Naturally, I accept it," Yang Hao nodded, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a good girl, it's cheap for the third son, that bastard, if Ayun is his wife, who cares about Yuan?

Pei Ju was also at the banquet, whispering to Su Wei. Right now, the two of them are the top officials of the Sui Dynasty. Don't look at Yu Wenshu Lai Hu'er daring to fight against them, but you are not as powerful as the other two.

Shangshu Sheng, that is the largest administrative organization of the dynasty, and everything is always going on.

Yang Hao wanted to please Pei Ju, so he toasted Pei Ju frequently.

Although his mind is not bright sometimes and he can't figure out many things, he has staff, and there are many smart people among his staff.

Liu Jianzhi and the others thought that sooner or later Pei Ju would have a fight with Hongnong Yang because of his daughter, so they should find a way to suppress the Yang family and try not to let Yang Yue come back.

As for that Yang Wensi, he was too old to be Pei Ju's opponent at all.

Among the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, Su Wei, Niu Hong, and Gao Jiong are the only ones who can talk and laugh happily with Pei Ju.

Yang Hao simply brought a cushion and sat at Pei Ju's table. There were three top bosses at this table, Pei Ju, Su Wei, and Gao Jiong.

"You three think, why does Your Majesty let that Lu Chu manage the Ministry of Internal History? Can he manage it?" Yang Yan asked with a smile.

Right now, at their table, they can talk about some government affairs. After all, the hall is noisy, and no one else can hear what they are talking about, and the important content will be talked in a low voice.

Su Wei said with a smile: "Holy will is unpredictable, His Majesty's arrangement must have deep meaning."

Don't look at Yang Hao's confrontation with Su Wei at the court meeting, but the court meeting is a court meeting, private is private, and everyone will not be confused about the occasion, let alone express the conflicts in the court hall in daily life.

It's all just a joke, one is more hypocritical than the other.

Yang Hao curled his lips: "From Shangshu Yousilang, it's really confusing to mention Neishi Ling all of a sudden. He was originally in Shangshu Province, and Mr. Su should know about it. What is his ability?"

"Skillful and young, if you work hard and work hard, you may become the minister of the humerus," Su Wei laughed.

At present, Lu Chu is still in the capital, and he has no idea that he has been promoted three times in a row and has become the chief official of one of the three provinces.

Fan Yang's Lu family did well in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, and Northern Wei Dynasty.

The branch of Fan Yanglu from Lu Chu was historically known as the Northern Patriarch Emperor's House, mainly because of the five sons of Lu Jing, the Taichang Cheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

These five brothers are better than each other.

The eldest Lu Jingzuo, the Northern Wei Sikong, the second Lu Jingrong, the Northern Qi Youzhou Zhizhong, the third Lu Jingyu was the teacher of the Northern Qi Wenxiang Emperor Gao Cheng and Wenxuan Emperor Gao Yang, and the fourth Lu Bian was the teacher of the Western Wei Emperor Yuanqin and Gongdi Yuankuo. Lu Guang, the fifth son, was the teacher of Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

And Lu Chu is the grandson of the boss Lu Jingzuo.

This family is following the path of civil servants, a top scholarly family, and its cultural heritage is at least ranked in the top three in today's Sui Dynasty, because the ancestor of Fan Yang Lu's family is Lu Zhi, one of the 28 great Confucianists who deserve to share the Confucian Temple in history. .

Yang Hao laughed and said, "He's not that powerful. When Emperor Gaozu was emperor, there was still Lu Ben who could rely on him, and since Lu Ben died a long time ago, who else could he rely on?"

Lu Ben is a very important figure. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Xiaogong Yin was the prince of Yu Wenyun, who was Yang Lihua's husband.

He supported Yang Jian's usurpation of the throne, so much so that after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, he was in charge of the imperial city's imperial army and concurrently served as the general of the left leading army. He had great power and was Yang Jian's very trusted confidant.

However, he had conflicts with Su Wei and Gao Jiong, and together with Liu Fang, Yuan Xie, Li Xun, and Zhang Bin, he planned to abolish Gao Jiong and Su Wei. As you can imagine, he was demoted as a commoner.

He didn't even look at who Gao Jiong belonged to, could he be destroyed?
But Yang Jian trusted him too much, so after a few years, he recalled Lu Ben to serve as the secretary of Taichang Temple. Later, because he couldn't control his mouth and talked nonsense, Yang Jian demoted him to the people and died in depression.

This Lu Ben is Lu Guang's son, and Lu Chu calls him uncle.

Su Wei didn't want to talk too much about this matter, after all, the Lu family had a rift with him, so the answer was very perfunctory.

On the contrary, Pei Ju said with a smile: "Since His Majesty values ​​it, then Lu Chu can do whatever he wants when he goes to the Ministry of Internal History, and he doesn't need to rely on anyone."

Yang Hao shook his head and said: "It's not that I look down on him. He's really bad. Who can get along with those people from the Ministry of Internal History? That is, Pei Gong can live in the town, and neither can Yang Yue. First of all, Yu Shiji is upright, so he won't be with Yang Yue. Not to mention my uncle, how can it be driven by a bastard like Yang Yue?"

Praise Pei Ju and demote Yang Yue.

First of all, Yang Yue is not as miserable as he said, and Yu Shiji has nothing to do with being upright.

Pei Ju couldn't help laughing and said: "Take your time, we don't want to speculate on the holy will in private."

"What Pei Gong said is true, but Yang Yue is really happy to get out," Yang Yan said with a smile, "I don't want him to come back again, what about Pei Gong?"

You really don't know how to chat, your question is very problematic, Pei Ju said: "Everything is up to His Majesty."

"Your answer is too smooth, King Qi is not satisfied." Gao Xiaojun looked at Yang Hao with a smile, and said, "Is what the old man said right?"

Yang Hao laughed and said, "Mr. Dugu is making fun of me."

Several people laughed at the same time.

They seem to be chatting quite harmoniously here, and Pei Shuying, as a married woman, stepped forward to talk to Qi Wangfei Yuwenshi and side concubine Yuanshi.

These three people are of the same generation, they are all the daughters-in-law of the prince, no one is better than the other.

But strictly speaking, the concubine Yuwen Hermione is the first, Pei Shuying is the second, and Yuan Ah Qi is the bottom.

Because although Pei Shuying was a side concubine, after Yang Ming quelled the rebellion of Han Wang Yang Liang, she was promoted by Yang Guang as a woman from the first rank, which was one level higher than the second rank of the Yuan family.

And she just came down from Zheng Yipin Wai Ming Fu, so Yuwen Hermione has no advantage over Pei Shuying except that she is her sister-in-law.

His father, Yu Wenshu, was no match for Pei Ju, and Po Yetou's family, let alone He Dong Pei.

She is not even as good-looking as Pei Shuying.

Complete defeat!

"Sister-in-law is pregnant?" Pei Shuying asked.

Yuwen Hermione nodded: "It's so tightly covered, it's still seen by younger siblings."

Pei Shuying asked: "Why didn't I see Yang Yin today, where did he go?"

Yuwen and Hermione's face turned frosty instantly, why are you mentioning him in front of me?On purpose, right?
Yang Yin, the eldest son of Yang Wei, the only son of the late Qi Princess Wei Qiong, now has to call Yuwen Hermione mother.

"Yin'er is still young, so it's inconvenient to show up on today's occasion," Yuwen Hermione said with a fake smile.

Where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. Yang Yin is only two months younger than Yang Rui, and he will be five years old this year. Right now, he is living a hard life in Prince Qi's mansion. He is a good son, and he is never brought out to meet people by his own father. They are not welcomed by Yang Guang and his wife.

A child without a mother is like a grass root. Yang Yin is only five years old, and he has already tasted the feeling of falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.

Pei Shuying smiled and said: "I'm going to be five years old soon, not too young, Yang Rui and Yang Jin have already toured various places with my father, my sister-in-law should also let Yang Yin go out and walk around more, otherwise the brothers will become unfamiliar. "

Yuwen Hermione gritted her teeth in her heart, you are showing off your son, right?My father is now in grace, and my child will be no worse than your son when he is born.

"Yang Jin's aunt, she should be Yinjiang now, right?" Yuwen Hermione said sharply.

Pei Shuying couldn't help laughing and said: "I let my sister-in-law down, our Prince Qin's mansion doesn't have this rule, in fact, I've always wanted a daughter, I really envy my sister-in-law, the one in your stomach should be a county lord, right?"

The prince's daughter is the county head, and the prince's daughter is the county head.

Uwen and Hermione's face is ashen
Having boys and girls was different in the Sui Dynasty, the difference was huge.

She was asking for trouble for arguing with Pei Shuying. Pei Shuying's temper could kill her.
