Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 388 The Weak Queen
Pei Shuying, who was in Luoyang, took time to visit Xingyang to see how her son's palace was going.

Yuan Wendu stayed here for almost a year, just to supervise the project of Gongjun Wangfu. In Henan, the good materials were basically emptied when Luoyang was built back then.

That's why Yang Ming asked Yuan Wendu to come, because he is a local household and has a way to get good engineering materials.

His son's palace must be beautifully built, not because Yang Ming is extravagant, but because he has a lot of scruples. If Yang Jin's house is not as good as Yang Rui's, he is worried that the Pei family will be dissatisfied.

Although the second son is not as good as the first son, this is obvious, but at the moment they are both county kings, and according to the regulations, the construction of the mansion should be at the same level.

The Xingyang Palace is basically completed, so after the new year, Yuan Wendu can also return to Beijing. There will be servants and maidservants staying in the new palace to take care of the daily maintenance. Yang Jin will not become a feudal clan until he is an adult. It's too early.

On the way back to Luoyang, Pei Shuying persuaded Dugu Fenger to go back with her,
But Dugu Feng'er shook his head, and said: "The Yang and Pei families are now in harmony, and the affairs in the palace are enough to give him a headache. Do you want the Dugu family to get involved?"

Pei Shuying smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, our two families are doing well."

"Ayun, don't lie to me. Although I am in Luoyang, I may not know less than you." Dugu Feng'er said with a smile: "Don't forget, Luoyang is now the Eastern Capital, and all six departments and eleven temples are stationed in the Eastern Capital." Officials, Grandpa can find out what they are talking about in private."

Pei Shuying smiled, but did not speak.

Dugu Feng'er continued: "Perhaps Yang Yinjiang, and you and I don't have any complicated thoughts, but the family behind the three of us will not let go easily, because they bear the heavy responsibility of a family, and the matter has nothing to do with it. The rise and fall of the family cannot be decided by them."

"To be honest with Feng'er, I am also troubled by this matter," Pei Shuying sighed, "I don't actually have any intention of competing for the position. From the day I married Yang Ming, I have thought about everything. It is already a blessing in the world to grow old together with you, but slowly, I found that my thinking is still too simple."

"That's right, you think it's easy," Dugu Feng'er said, "Because you are Pei Ju's daughter, and you have the support of a wealthy family like the Pei family from He Dong behind you, even if Pei Ju doesn't have this idea, will the Pei family agree? Patriarch This position is not so easy to sit in, and you have to take care of everything, and the people in the clan will follow your example."

Pei Shuying was surprised and said: "You are really different from before."

"Because I remembered a lot of things," Dugu Feng'er said, "Don't forget, I stayed with the Holy Empress for three years, her old man's careful teaching in the past, since I remembered it, I will never forget it. "

Dugu Jialuo was also painstaking in those days. The men in the clan were inferior to each other. She had foreseen that once she passed away, the family would inevitably decline, so the Dugu family had to marry the Yang family early in order to delay the decline.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as the sky's calculations. Something happened to Dugu Feng'er, so that the best chance for the Dugu family to revive was stolen by Hongnong Yang.

Is Dugu Zuan willing?He is not reconciled, especially after his daughter's recovery is getting better and better, the Dugu family already has plans to end.

After all, Dugu Feng'er is Yang Ming's official wife appointed by the Second Sage, and she had to cancel the engagement because of an accident. But now, Dugu Feng'er is becoming more and more normal, but Emperor Yang Guang doesn't take the Dugu family seriously, so he thinks about the future , the Dugu family can't help but argue.

Don't look at the Dugu family's territory in Luoyang, but they are a serious Guanlong aristocratic group.

Pei Shuying is also very smart, so she immediately guessed why Dugu Feng'er refused to return to Beijing.

She was thinking about Yang Ming, and she didn't want to drag the Dugu family in because of her. If that happened, Yang Ming would have even more headaches.

Pei Shuying didn't want to persuade her any more, so she said, "Then do you recall how you got sick?"

Dugu Feng'er frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, shook her head.

"I remember writing to Yang Ming often, he misses you very much," Pei Shuying said.

Dugu Feng'er forced a smile and nodded.

In Ziwei Palace, Zhang Heng, the doctor of Yushitai, presented Yang Guang with a memorial sent by the capital.

All secret reports from Yushitai were sent directly to the emperor across the three provinces and six ministries.

This department has the power to intervene in the criminal law, but its main task is to play rumors. It is basically a Dongxi factory in the Sui Dynasty, but it does not have as much power as a Dongxi factory. This is also determined by the current social class structure.

This is the world of aristocratic families, the heyday of the aristocrats. To put it bluntly, the emperor and the aristocrats share the world, so a Yushitai composed of poor families has very limited damage to the ministers.

Yang Ming once thought that the emperor in this period was the chairman of a group, and if you couldn't lead everyone to make money, then the board of directors would discuss and dismiss you.

And Yang Jian is undoubtedly a very powerful emperor. Before usurping the throne, I talked with you about money. The Sui Dynasty built a prosperous and powerful empire.

As for Yang Guang, it was even more ruthless, it was all Lao Tzu's money, who dared to think about who I would kill, but it turned out that he was killed instead.

After Yang Guang read the report, he didn't have any expression on his face. He waved his hand to let Zhang Heng back down, and then threw the report aside.

He really didn't care, it was completely reasonable for the second child to want to kill that Wei Zheng, as long as things were reasonable, there would be no problem.

The most feared thing in this world is unreasonable things.

Regardless of whether there is Wei Zheng or not, Yang Guang intends to determine the candidate for the crown prince after returning to Beijing this time.

At this time, Mrs. Kongtong Wu Jiangxian came in. After she took off the cloak on her body, there were several layers of tulle dresses, and her beautiful body was looming.

The most amazing thing is that the back of her skirt is open for the convenience of Yang Guang.

The two of them just staged a beautiful scene in the room, even if Empress Xiao came in, Yang Guang didn't have the slightest intention to stop.

Empress Xiao is also used to it. Her husband didn't do this after he succeeded to the throne. He had already done it when he was still King Jin.

"I heard that Concubine De is pregnant, how do you handle this matter?" Empress Xiao sat down beside her and said calmly.

Concubine De is Wang Shi, Li Yuan's niece.

Of course, Yang Guang would not interrupt the game just because of his wife's words, but sat down panting heavily after playing poker, and said with a smile:
"That's a good thing? Don't you think so?"

Empress Xiao frowned suddenly: "You have two sons."

"Wrong, there are three." Yang Guang raised his finger and said with a smile: "Yang Gao was born by your maid, so naturally he is also my son."

Empress Xiao nodded and said: "Okay, counting as three, then if Concubine De gave birth to a son for you, would you treat Yang Qing the same as Yang He, or would you treat Ming'er the same?"

Yang Guang pulled Wu Jiangxian beside him, then kneaded to his heart's content, and said with a smile:

"I don't want to answer your question. Remember, don't talk to me like that in the future. Take care of your harem. Other things are not your business. Don't think that you can meddle in government affairs like my mother. You don't have the ability to take care of grandpa's private affairs."

Empress Xiao's face was gloomy, and she said coldly: "I am the master of the harem, and also the biological mother of King Qin and King Qi."

"Don't talk about the two of them," Yang Guang slapped Wu Jiangxian on the face, and the latter immediately fell back, trembling, covering his face.

Yang Guang got up fiercely, and angrily said: "Don't think that since you gave birth to three sons, I can't do anything to you."

Empress Xiao also stood up and said angrily: "Before you succeeded to the throne, you promised me that you would not have children with other women. It was you who had no faith."

Yang Guang kicked Wu Jiangxian and said angrily, "Okay, you are getting more and more presumptuous, and dare to be my master? Get out, I don't want to see you."

Empress Xiao immediately looked aggrieved, cried out, covered her face and left.

Still angry, Yang Guang kicked and kicked Wu Jiangxian on the ground, and the opponent who kicked him couldn't stop crying and begging for mercy.

"You want to be a shrew, but you're far from it." Yang Guang sat down angrily, called his servant Gao Ye, frowned and said, "Ms. Wang is pregnant?"

Gao Ye was stunned and said, "I haven't heard of it, I'm going to ask this servant."

"Wait," Yang Guang raised his hand and said, "If you don't have it, forget it. If you have it, get rid of it."

Gao Ye nodded: "I understand."

Even if Yang Guang didn't care about Empress Xiao, he couldn't ignore his two wild sons.

And he really doesn't want to have any more sons, two sons in total are enough to cause him a headache, if there are more than a few, wouldn't the family be in trouble.

He knows best what kind of character his wife has. Even with that weak appearance, he also wants to imitate my mother's mother?Do you have this ability?
If the queen mother encounters your situation, she will not discuss it with the emperor father at all, and directly kill the elders and the younger ones together.

After Empress Xiao left weeping, she immediately sent someone to summon her son Yang Hao who was in Luoyang.

Yang Hao was desperate for a chance to repair his relationship with his mother, so he rushed to the palace immediately after receiving the news.

"Bitch! It's against her," Yang Hao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, my son will never let the evil seed in her belly be born."

Empress Xiao cried: "Don't mess around, after all, you are the flesh and blood of your father, don't target Concubine De and the child, take care of her father, it's a warning to her."

"I'll listen to my mother," Yang Hao said furiously, "this bitch, with so many concubines in the harem, she is the only one with the most courage, right? The third child can bear this kind of thing, but the son can't. Just take it easy, mother. Don't think about it for Wang Yu's Shangyuan Festival."

Concubine De's father, Wang Yu, was the first to prepare Yang Jian's body with thousands of cattle, and later he was sent to other places as Shiping County Magistrate. After Concubine De was favored, he has now entered Jiangzuo Temple in Luoyang.

This person is Li Yuan's brother-in-law, his own brother-in-law.
