Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 51
Early the next morning, Yang Yinjiang left, took people out of the camp, and went home to tell stories to her grandfather in person.

On Yang Hao's side, he didn't find out why King Qin Yang Jun returned to Beijing, but he found out about another matter.

In fact, it was not he who inquired about this matter, but Yang Chan.

These days, Yang Chan has been staying with the children of those aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, perhaps because she feels that it is meaningless to stay with Yang Hao and Yang Ming.

Women, by nature, like to gossip, and if there is any disturbance elsewhere, they will be discussed as a major issue.

No, the Yuan Clan's camp in Luoyang is not far from the Xiao Clan's camp in Lanling. Last night, Yang Chan and the others saw the Yuan Clan's children leaving the camp overnight, so they started talking in private.

They even sent someone to ask the Yuan family, why did you leave?
The Yuan family didn't say anything about it, which made their little gossip even more suspicious.

"This year's spring outing is so strange. First, the second elder brother and Miss Pei were kidnapped by Jushi Liu, and then Liu Chang was killed. Here, the Qin Palace and the Han Palace also left one after another, and then the Yuan family. This is another big event. It's going to happen."

In the bamboo forest, Yang Chan rested her chin and told the gossip stories she had heard, and then kept urging Zhang Xiaobao to make up a few more bamboo crickets so that she could give them to her little sister.

Xiaobao is a craftsman who can weave all kinds of interesting gadgets out of bamboo. Yang Ming was also very interested and even asked him for advice.

"Wait, there must be a reason for the Yuan family to leave, and sooner or later they will know," Yang Hao was completely indifferent to these things.

But Yang Ming remembered it in his heart.

If there were no major events happening in the Yuan family, it would be absolutely impossible for the children of the family to miss the spring outing that only happens once a year.

Explain what, explain that there is something bigger than marriage that makes them have to leave here.

What will happen?
Yang Ming's heart was shocked suddenly, and he thought of a possibility.

This year is the 20th year of Kaihuang, which is 600 AD.

Counting the days, Concubine Yuan is about to die.

Yang Yong and his mother, Dugu Jialuo, would also quarrel because of this.
Is this more than a big deal?This is exactly the first year of Comrade Yang Guang's support.

The Yuan family in Luoyang was originally the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although they married the old Yang family and became relatives of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian was worried that they would become big, so he deliberately divided the Yuan family, which caused the Yuan family to not be very united.

Some big figures in power, such as Yuan Min, the general of Zuowei, Yuan Zhou, the general of Zuojianmen, Yuan Yan, the minister of Huangmen, Shi Yuanhongsi, the governor of Youzhou, Yuan Xiaoze, the governor of Jiangling, and Xunyang, the father of Concubine Yuan. Duke Xiaoju of the county,
They are both descendants of the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but by the time of the Sui Dynasty, the blood relationship had already been thinned out, and they became the head of the same family 50 years ago.

However, after Yuan Zhen was made the crown princess, this group of people gradually moved closer to one place, wanting to take advantage of the concubine Yuan's glory, which was a discord between the face and the heart.

Of course, the death of Concubine Yuan was a huge blow to them.

Yang Ming knew in his heart that if the facts were as he had guessed, then from now until the end of the year, the Sui royal family and court would be plunged into great turmoil.

Three days later, Yang Lihua's sudden departure strengthened Yang Ming's guess.

Concubine Yuan must have had an accident.

That afternoon, Yang Ming received the order from the palace.

Yes, a will, not a letter.

Dugu Jialuo summoned him to return to Beijing immediately together with Yang Hao and Yang Chan.

At the same time, there was Yang Yan in the East Palace who pulled out the camp.

After returning to the palace, Yang Hao and Yang Chan temporarily lived in Yang Ming's Yuehua Palace, and the three of them have been anxiously waiting for Queen Dugu's summons, otherwise they would not know what happened.

After Xu Jing handed over to Yang Yue, he also returned to the palace as soon as possible to find out about the situation with his godfather's servant Wang Pu.

"Find out everything clearly,"

After Xu Jing came back, he closed the door carefully, and said nervously:
"Princess, it's only been a few days."

"what?"

Yang Hao turned pale with shock, subconsciously glanced at Yang Ming and the others, and hurriedly asked Xu Jing, "Is there a mistake?"

"It's a big deal, how dare a villain make a mistake," Xu Jing said with sweat on his face, "At present, all the officials are waiting in Qianqiu Palace, and the imperial doctors are helpless, and they have given up treatment."

"Where's the second saint?" Yang Ming said in a deep voice.

Xu Jing swallowed his saliva: "The Second Sage is in the East Palace right now, and has ordered the prince (Yang Guang) to return to Beijing urgently."

Yang Hao was shocked and sat down, dumbfounded: "This."

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Pang Ben shouted outside:

"The decree of the second sage ordered His Highness King Hedong to go to the East Palace as soon as possible."

Yang Ming pushed open the door, looked at Pang Ben and said, "Am I the only one in the Second Saint's will?"

"Yes! Only His Royal Highness,"

Yang Ming turned his head and glanced at Yang Hao and Yang Chan, "We'll talk about it when I come back."

"Okay! Third brother, hurry up," Yang Hao nodded.

East Palace,

The dormitory of the concubine Yuan.

All the officials of the East Palace, including thousands of slaves, are kneeling outside the palace right now,

The entire East Palace was surrounded by the forbidden army.

After getting off the sedan chair, Yang Ming hurried towards the sleeping hall on the stone road, stopped at the stone steps outside the hall, and fell to his knees with a plop.

After the eunuch guarding the door reported to the inside, he stepped forward to help Yang Ming:
"Go in, Your Highness."

After Yang Ming entered, the palace door creaked and closed from the outside.

In the sleeping hall, the lights were dim, and there was a strong pungent smell of medicine.

Grandfather Yang Jian was sitting on a chair in the distance, with his eyes closed and his face extremely heavy.

And the grandmother, Dugu Jialuo, is sitting on the edge of the huge bed and weeping in a low voice
As for Yang Yong, he knelt not far away, bowed his head and did not speak.

Seeing Yang Ming coming in, Dugu Jialuo finally raised his head, his eyes were red and swollen, and he waved to Yang Ming, beckoning him to come forward.

"Good boy, Qilin'er is back, open your eyes and look at him," Dugu Jialuo held onto Concubine Yuan's skinny arm, weeping uncontrollably.

On the bed, the concubine Yuan, who had long been thin and out of shape, seemed to have exhausted all her strength before slightly opening her eyes.

At this moment, Yang Ming didn't know whether it was out of sympathy or pity when he saw a dying person, so he also cried.

It has been seven years since he traveled to Fang Tai Sui, and the woman who has treated him best in the past seven years, apart from Dugu Jialuo, is the concubine Yuan.

Although Yang Ming knew in his heart that Concubine Yuan's love for him was mostly due to her childlessness, so he put this emotion on Yang Ming.

When Concubine Yuan saw Yang Ming, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, but it was only for a moment before her eyes closed again.

Three moments of ugly time,

Yuan Zhen, the crown princess of the Great Sui Dynasty, died in the fragrance of jade.

At this point, the crown prince, Yang Yong, is cut off from his heirloom, and the position of crown prince, which was originally unshakable, will face a huge challenge.

Dugu Jialuo grabbed a vase with both hands, and slammed it on Yang Yong's head.

"You bastard!"
