Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 5
Prince Yang Yong's children are not young and old, thirteen sons and eight daughters.

It's a pity that such a high yield turned out to be concubines.

In this regard, my father is very smart. The three sons and two daughters (those born on the register) are all born to Jin Wangfei Xiao, and the three sons and four daughters who are not on the register are born to other women.

The three sons and four daughters of the concubine, Yang Jian and his wife, didn't know about it. If Yang Ming hadn't been to Jiangdu when he was six years old, even he wouldn't have known that he had seven extra younger siblings who dressed like those in the palace. Like a servant, this is the sorrow of superbirth.

But he definitely dare not talk nonsense about this matter, because Empress Dugu especially taboos about it.

In fact, his memory of his parents is very vague, it can be said that there are very few.

I can only vaguely remember that Yang Guang and his wife are rare handsome men and beautiful women.

The evaluation of Yang Guang's appearance in the history books is six words: "beautiful, less intelligent".

Shallow, the generalization is too superficial.

Father Yang Guang gave people the feeling that apart from being handsome and outrageous, he also had a unique temperament from the inside out.

Humble and low-key, gentle personality, strong martial arts.
In short, this is a stalwart man with considerable masculine charm.

If it hadn't been for crossing and becoming his son, Yang Ming would never have thought that Yang Guang had anything to do with humility.

But the fact is that, maybe he hides it well, maybe he hasn't become emperor yet, and he hasn't tasted the taste of the superior power.

That night, Yang Ming returned to Yuehua Palace.

Uncle Yang Yong's 100 taels of gold had also been delivered, and his companion Xu Jing placed the gold on the table, shining golden under the candlelight.

The two close servant girls were dismissed by Yang Ming, leaving only him and Xu Jing in the room.

"I have never seen so much money since I grew up,"

Yang Ming was lying on the table, staring straight at the gold in front of him with a pair of small eyes.

Xu Jing smiled and said in a low voice: "Your Highness has been in the palace for a long time, and you don't need to worry about food and clothing. Naturally, you don't need these things, but when you go out to play someday, this thing will be very useful."

nonsense!I still need you to explain to me the role of money?Do you really think I'm an 11-year-old kid?
"You boy also followed my father back then, tell me the truth, is my father rich?"

The closest servants around Yang Ming are Nuan Dong, Liang Xia, and his big companion Xu Jing who has been shoveling shit behind his ass since he was a child.

But the former was arranged by Empress Dugu, and Xu Jing was dispatched from Prince Jin's Mansion in Jiangdu, and used to serve by Yang Guang's side.

Xu Jing chuckled, leaned over and whispered in Yang Ming's ear:
"In the battle to destroy Chen back then, our lord was the marshal of the marching army. Does your Highness think the lord is rich or not?"

"Easy to understand, hehehe." Yang Ming suddenly burst into laughter, tapped Xu Jing's forehead and said: "My father can pretend, grandparents, including the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, thought he was a poor ghost."

"Hush, keep your voice down,"

Xu Jing hurriedly pasted it on the door of the palace and listened for a long while. After confirming that there was no one in the courtyard, he returned and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, the money is not visible, Your Highness, please don't let it slip."

"Don't worry! Can I sell my father?" Yang Ming pulled Xu Jing a little closer, and urged, "Tell me about it in detail."

Although Yang Ming is young, his mouth is not usually strict, and he is the master, so Xu Jing will not hide it from him at all.
Xu Jing stroked in his mind, and began to say slowly:
"In the battle to destroy Chen, there were three armies in the Sui Dynasty. Shangshu's right servant shot Yang Su's west army, Qin Wang Yang Jun's middle army, and our prince's east army. The three armies were all under the control of the prince. The Chen Dynasty in those days was rich, much richer than our Sui Dynasty. After Han Qinhu, the governor of Luzhou under the prince's command, captured Jiankang, he searched for countless treasures and beauties. Those treasures were too numerous to count. The soldiers of Jiankang have all reaped benefits."

"Didn't you go too?" Yang Ming said hilariously, "How much do you put in your pocket?"

Xu Jing smiled and said: "My money is all small money, which is a gift from the prince and the princess. I have a few treasures, but they are all kept in Jiangdu. When the servants return to Yangzhou with His Royal Highness, the prince will take them if he likes them." .”

Yang Ming smiled and said, "What am I doing with your things? Tell me, how will the money be divided in the end?"

Xu Jingdao: "Although the Lord's East Route Army is the main force to attack Chen, when the money was finally divided, Yang Su and His Royal Highness Qin Wang also had a share, and they were still the big ones. The rest He Ruobi, Han Qinhu and others attacked Jiankang's big The general also took a lot, but Shangshu Zuopu She Gaojiong was reluctant to take it at first, but at that time everyone took it, and if he didn't take it, he would inevitably become the target of public criticism, so the meaning is also divided, but not much. "

Xu Jing continued: "Your Highness, you don't know the scene at that time. Our Great Sui Guozuo was founded, and the soldiers had just come out of the troubled times. The poor ones were called a chest to the back. After entering Jiankang, they suddenly saw With so much property, who wouldn't be jealous? At that time, if our lord didn't divide up the money, there would be a mutiny immediately."

"So in the end, these beauties with wealth were divided into half by the attacking Chen Dajun, and the remaining half was escorted back to Daxing and filled into the treasury."

It sounds very reasonable, Yang Ming nodded straightly. Before destroying Chen, the Great Sui had just quelled the three-party rebellion including Yu Chijiong, and fought a few battles with the Turks on the grassland. The whole north was indeed poor and crazy.

Dad's move is tantamount to turning rewarding the three armies into sharing the spoils.

Yang Ming asked curiously, "My father should be the biggest one, right?"

Xu Ming said proudly: "That's for sure. The battle to destroy Chen unifies the north and south of China that has been divided for more than 300 years. This is a great achievement. Who dares to take more than our prince?"

As he talked, Xu Jing's expression became more and more respectful. This is the admiration for Yang Guang in his bones.
"Either our lord is generous, and everyone has a share of the half of the property that has been seized. Those who are able will get more. It's very fair."

You know what a fart!This is a hush money, and you can only shut up if you take the money.

Yang Ming was a little speechless, his big companion Xu Jing completely worshiped his father blindly, so much so that his usual smart brain was not enough.

Dividing up the spoils in private is not a trivial matter. Yang Ming felt that his grandfather Yang Jian must have known and even tacitly agreed.

But Yang Jian may not know the part that Yang Guang privately hid, as well as those who took the big shots.

"What, how did Zhang Lihua die?" Yang Ming was still very interested in this point.

According to historical records, Zhang Lihua, Empress Chen's favorite concubine, was killed by Marshal Gao Jiong, the chief of staff who also wiped out Chen Dajun.

At that time, Yang Guang sent an order to keep Zhang Lihua under the sword of the vanguard who attacked Jiankang, and wanted to keep Zhang Lihua for his own enjoyment, but Gao Jiong didn't show him face, and chopped off the number one beauty in Jiangnan with a knife.

Don't know what the truth is?

Xu Jingdao: "Zhang Lihua was executed by the order of the prince. How can such a demonic concubine who is a disaster for the country be kept?"

"Really, don't you fool me?" Yang Ming said lightly.

Xu Jing said anxiously: "How dare the servants fool His Highness? I followed the army into the city and saw it with my own eyes."

Whether it is true or not, Yang Ming is not sure, but at present, it seems that the old man does not look like the kind of idiot who can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman.

Although he only stayed in Jiangdu for half a year, his impression of Yang Guang was completely overturned during this half year.

"By the way, my grandfather is going to send someone to kill that Yuwen Yumin, where is that woman now? It doesn't have anything to do with my father, does it?"

Yang Ming knew that if this matter was really related to his father, Xu Jing must know about it, and Xu Jing would not hide it from him.

Many things that father Yang Guang did in Daxing were arranged by Xu Jing's running errands.

The reason why Xu Jing has such a great connection is because his godfather is a regular servant in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the palace. In layman's terms, he is the third in command of the eunuchs in Daxing Palace.

Those who have no roots always like to recognize a godfather and adopt a son or something, which can be regarded as making up for the regret of not having a family.

It can be seen from this that Xu Jing is arranged by his side, and his father is also far-sighted.

Sure enough, Xu Jing was not surprised but delighted and said:

"Your Highness is really wise. I will tell you the truth. The prince has explained it before. If His Highness can see the clue, then the villain should not hide anything. If he can't see it, then the villain can't say anything."

Yang Ming rolled his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Everything my father told you, from now on, he must tell me in full. In case something goes wrong, I will have time to deal with it."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as there is something to be said, the servants will never dare to hide anything," Xu Jing said solemnly:

"That woman was kidnapped by the prince and returned to the East Palace. It is the best ending to die there, and it is also in the prince's prediction. Besides, she didn't know that she was being used."

Yang Ming nodded, "Well, this is the best way, so as not to be caught making excuses, but then again, Yu Wenshu is so good at playing? Is my daughter so willing?"

"It's not a daughter," Xu Jing said in a low voice, "It was given to Yu Wenshu by our lord back then, and was adopted by Yu Wenshu as a righteous daughter. This girl has a lot of background, but I can't tell His Highness yet."

Xu Jing was like this, some things he couldn't say, no matter how Yang Ming asked, his mouth was tightly closed, and he didn't reveal a single word.

Yang Ming didn't ask any more questions. Being mixed in with this group of people, he couldn't even survive the first three chapters of the online novel without any scheming from the city government.

After Xu Jing left, Yang Ming called two bed warming maids to warm his bed.

After the bed was warm, Yang Ming took off his clothes under Nuan Dong's service.

He sleeps on this side, and sleeps on the other side in warm winter and cool summer.

As soon as he got under the covers, two pairs of delicate little hands reached out to help him gently rub his cold little feet.

ah . this damn life of a prince
