Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 52
What is hating iron but not steel.

The death of Concubine Yuan made Dugu Jialuo completely desperate for Yang Yong. At this time, she no longer had the majesty of the mother of a country on her body, but cried and grabbed whatever she could grab, and slapped Yang Yong hard. drop.

The crown prince has no legitimate son.

This is the queen who wants to kill Yang Jian.
Dugu Jialuo vented all the resentment accumulated over the years.

"Go, get the whip, let me beat this traitor to death!" Dugu Jialuo yelled hysterically, and the eunuch next to him kowtowed in fright.

Everyone kneeling outside the hall was frightened by the sound coming from inside, and some even fainted from fright.

Because no one has ever seen Queen Dugu so furious.

Yang Jian didn't stop Dugu Jialuo from venting his anger.

All along, he had held a glimmer of hope, thinking that even if Yang Yong and his wife had no feelings for each other, as long as you gave me a grandson, nothing would matter.

But at this moment, he felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness, and his and Dugu Jialuo's long-standing expectations were completely shattered.

I am walking on thin ice, being cautious, and resolving many life-and-death crises along the way, and only then step by step to create the foundation of the Sui Dynasty,

Now the country is booming, but it has encountered the dilemma of having no successors.

Establishing a descendant is based on elders rather than virtue, and establishing sons is based on nobleness rather than elders. From the royal family to the nobles, the family business and wealth have always been inherited by the eldest son.

He is my eldest son, the successor king of the Sui Dynasty, how could he...
The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who had never shown the slightest slump in front of anyone, seemed to have aged more than ten years suddenly at this moment.
I saw him holding the arm of the chair, trembling about to stand up,

Seeing this, Yang Ming hurried forward to help, but was pushed away by Yang Jian:

"Don't help me!"

Yang Ming hurriedly stepped aside.

Yang Jian stood firm step by step, and slowly came to Yang Yong, looking at his eldest son expressionlessly:
"Sudifa, raise your head up,"

"Father~~~" Yang Yong raised his head with blood on his face, weeping bitterly.

Yang Jian said word by word: "Your mother and I will never quarrel again in the future, you should do it yourself."

That night, Yang Ming returned to Yuehua Hall and waited until seven days later, the day of Concubine Yuan's funeral, before sending the coffin out of the city with all the officials in mourning clothes.

Immediately, Yang Jian ordered to stop the court for three days.

Because Yang Guang was about to enter the capital, Yang Ming did not stay in the palace, but lived in Daxing Jin Palace, waiting for his father to enter the capital.

The death of Concubine Yuan had far-reaching consequences.

The court chiefs have gradually noticed that the second sage is becoming more and more alienated from the prince.

This is definitely great news for Yang Su.

In fact, Yang Ming has always believed that even if the father controls the entire south and is so powerful, if it is not because the East Palace has no heir, he will never be able to rise to power.

No chance at all.

Because Yang Ming knew very well that Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo's most valued child had always been Yang Yong.

And the grandson they have always valued the most is the eldest grandson Henan King Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao rushed back from Luoyang in Daxing three days ago, and currently lives in Yong'an Palace in Dugu Jialuo.

In the evening, Yang Yue brought Yang Yinjiang to the Jin Palace.

He had something to discuss with Yang Ming, so he let Princess Yang Chan take Yang Yinjiang away and wander around the palace.

After the two sat down in the tea room, Yang Ming winked. Xu Jing understood, left lightly, and closed the door from the outside.

Yang Yue looked high-spirited and in a good mood,

"Eldest brother was summoned into the palace this morning, and Gao Jiong was there to meet the saint. Guess what the second saint called him?"

"I can't guess," Yang Ming said, "Don't be fooled, just tell me."

Yang Yue chuckled: "After Liu Chang died, the position of General Zuo Wuwei was vacated. Guess who the Second Sage would like to take over?"

General Zuo Wuwei, with great power, is mainly in charge of guarding the surrounding areas of Kyoto. He has nine Zhechong mansions and [-] soldiers.

At the beginning of Emperor Kaihuang, Yang Guang served concurrently. It was not until Yang Guangyuan went to the south of the Yangtze River that Liu Chang became the General of Zuo Wuwei through his relationship with Yang Jian. After all, at that time, the third generation of the old Yang family had not yet grown up.

At that time, Yang Jian still trusted Liu Chang very much.

But now, among the Yang family's clan, there is already a suitable candidate.

Of course Yang Ming guessed who it was, but he didn't have to say it.

"Su Wei has returned to Beijing now, maybe the second sage will let him take up the post," Yang Ming pretended to be stupid.

Yang Yue smiled and shook his head: "No, guess again, I think your brain should be able to guess."

"It can't be you, can it?" Yang Ming joked.

"Which onion am I?" Yang Yue said speechlessly, "It's your elder brother Yang Zhao."

"Ah?" Yang Ming showed a shocked look: "Brother just turned sixteen this year?"

"Sixteen is not young, King Jin was also a 15-year-old General Zuo Wuwei back then, but well." Yang Yue smiled slyly:
"When this matter was brought up by the Second Sage, that idiot Gao Jiong actually objected, saying that among the princes of the Eastern Palace, there are many adults, and the post of general can be chosen from among them."

"And then? Seeing you are so happy, Gao Jiong must have been scolded, right?" Yang Ming laughed.

"Haha, the King of Hedong who knows me." Yang Yue laughed and said, "It's not just being scolded, the Holy Empress is still angry now, she just picked up an inkstone and threw it on Gao Jiong's body, but unfortunately, she didn't hit it on the head. "

"Look at how you gloat, be careful that one day that square inkstone hits your head," Yang Ming joked.

"Just smash it, it's grace for the Holy Queen to hit me," Yang Yue said with a laugh, "Gao Jiong is too old to be confused. He knows that the Holy Queen doesn't like the bastards in the Eastern Palace, and he still wants to stand up for them."

Is not this nonsensical?Yang Ming thought to himself, among the bastards in the East Palace, there are relatives and grandchildren, not to mention Yang Yong has a daughter, isn't she also married to his son Gao Biaoren?
This is a close kiss, how could he not speak for Yang Yong?

As for Yang Zhao being the General of Zuo Wuwei, Yang Ming was not surprised at all, he would only be surprised if it was someone else.

He is the eldest grandson, and he is not comparable to Yang Ming, Yang Hao, or Changning Wang Yang Yan.

The eldest Yang Zhao was born in the fourth year of Kaihuang, the second child Yang Wei was born in the fifth year of Kaihuang, the eldest daughter Yang Chan was born in the seventh year of Kaihuang, and the third child Yang Ming was born in the eighth year of Kaihuang.
Did you see, out of the five years, only the sixth year of the Emperor's reign, Concubine Xiao did not confine herself to confinement.

This is similar to Dugu Jialuo's situation. Except for the eldest daughter Yang Lihua and the eldest son Yang Yong, the ten children after Dugu are born every two years.

In the next conversation with Yang Yue, Yang Ming knew that King Qin Yang Jun was dying.

Specifically what happened to Yang Jun, this old boy also hesitated and refused to tell the truth.

Don't say it, don't say it, it's not that I don't know.

As for Qihui's matter, Yang Yue has already sent someone to investigate, but this old boy is really good enough,
He asked his subordinates to pretend to be craftsmen, and went to Louguantai with 5000 taels of silver in the name of renovating the temple.

It seemed to be to make up for the offense that day, but in fact, he was full of bad water.

Yang Yue suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I mentioned the matter of Yin Jiang to my eldest brother, and he has already obtained his acquiescence, but my family Yin Jiang is already sixteen years old. If His Highness becomes an adult, she will be a 19-year-old girl at that time." , tsk tsk, it’s not right.”

Yang Ming smiled and said nothing, what happened to Nineteen? 19 years old is the flower season, I like 19 years old.

But he didn't like Yang Yinjiang, because this woman calculated too much.

Yang Yue had been peeking at Yang Ming's reaction. Seeing that the other party was silent, she couldn't help asking cautiously:

"Is there any way, Your Highness, to cancel the Dugu family's marriage?"

"How dare you think about it!" Yang Ming was taken aback, and said directly, "If I dare to resign, my grandmother can hang me above the Mingde gate."

Yang Yue hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"Say it casually. Say it casually. Pretend I didn't say it"
