Emperor Sui Yang

Yang Guang set out from Hedong on February 28, arrived in the capital on February [-], and walked for ten days.

February is 28 days in normal years, and 29 days in leap years. This year is a normal year. That is to say, the second day Yang Guang arrived in the capital was the first day of March, but there was no court meeting today.

After all, everyone just came back, and they were too tired after running around for a year, so Yang Guang gave everyone a vacation after three days.

A boy and two girls born to Yang Yinjiang, Pei Shuying, and Chen Shuyi were immediately brought into Yong'an Palace so that Yang Guang and his wife could visit.

The two of them haven't seen these three children yet, and Wei Xianhui and Yan Xiaotang are about to give birth.

"Blessed are many children, you are better than me," Yang Guang just hugged the fifth child Yang Can for a while, then handed him over to his biological mother Yang Yinjiang, and he didn't even hug the rest.

Because the rest are women, Yang Guang is a patriarch.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Father's attack on Goguryeo this time and eliminated our great troubles in the Northeast of the Central Plains in one fell swoop is the merit of all ages. Next, you can take a good rest."

Yang Guang smiled: "The family banquet does not discuss state affairs."

Yang Ming nodded.

Since it was a family banquet, there must be Yang Wei, his main concubine Yuwen Hermione, side concubine Yuan Aqi, concubine Cui Lingzi, and concubine Liu Jinzhi.

There are also the eldest daughter Yang Chan and Pei Xuanji couple. As for the youngest daughter Yang Qi, she is already 12 years old, and the fourth child Yang Gao is also six years old. Although this kid is a concubine, he is very liked by Yang Guang. King Zhao was sealed.

Yang Gao's biological mother, Concubine Xiao, was Empress Xiao's dowry daughter. Before she gave birth to a son, Yang Ming had never seen her on official occasions. Now she has a higher rank. A mother is more expensive than a child, and her status in the harem is quite high.

The son of a dowry girl is below the concubine's son and above the concubine's son, so one cannot simply think that he is a concubine's son.

In fact, after Yang Zhao's death, Yang Guang felt that his heirs were weak and wanted to have more children. Empress Xiao was not happy about it.Let the second and third clean up?

It's not that I'm not a concubine?

"Yang Qing, Yang He, are your brothers after all. Right now, they are working in the Left and Right Prison Houses. Their names are not right. I want to be crowned king. What do you think?" Yang Guang laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Empress Xiao snorted coldly, but Yang Guang didn't care.

Hearing this snort, Yang Hao immediately understood: "I think it's wrong. Yang Qingyang and his biological mother came from humble backgrounds, and they still have no taste, so they should not be named."

But Yang Ming said: "Although there are differences between the concubine and the concubine, they are the father and son. The Yang family is orthodox. Even if the clan is crowned king, there is no reason why the father's son should not be crowned."

Yang Hao was stunned, grinned and said: "I said, third child, you are really interesting. If you don't recognize your own brother, go recognize your uncle brother?"

"Second brother said this, when did I deny you?" Yang Ming retorted.

Yang Hao then sneered and said, "You know it in your heart."

"I quarreled as soon as we met, did you not take my mother seriously?" Empress Xiao said coldly.

The two brothers got up in a hurry, not even paying for it.

Yang Ming said: "After reporting to my mother, many important positions in the imperial court should not be handed over to outsiders. However, my clan is withered and there is no one available. Yang Qingyang and only the king can entrust important affairs. .”

He was also afraid that his mother would not like it, so he kindly persuaded him. As a son, he naturally understood his mother. Empress Xiao had no opinions and was particularly easy to be persuaded.

Sure enough, Empress Xiao pondered for a moment: "Feng entered the palace very early, and he is considered an old man. It is meritorious to have given birth to a second son for His Majesty, and he obeyed me, but should you be more cautious when you become a king? Do you think it's appropriate for the concubine to sit on an equal footing with your second brother?"

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Yang Qingzhi, the son of Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, is now the king of Xun, and Yang Hao is the king of Liang. Can they also sit on an equal footing with the second brother? Anyone can compare."

"Hehe," Yang Yan sneered, "Jin, Qin, Qi, Chu, I'm shorter than your son."

Yang Yinjiang immediately became unhappy: "Yinghui is the eldest son of the crown prince, and he inherited the crown prince's original title of king of Qin. The second brother cares about his own nephew, is it the wrong place?"

Yang Hao immediately said: "Say a few words for me, there is no place for a woman to intervene in this matter."

"Then you are alluding to the queen mother?" Yang Yinjiang said.

Yang Hao was taken aback, and hurriedly looked at Empress Xiao: "The queen mother knows that my son doesn't mean that, and Yin Jiang is making unreasonable words."

Yang Guang, a seasoned peacemaker, said: "Okay, okay, there is nothing to quarrel about. What the third brother said just now is right. For some positions, you still have to use your own people. What do you call your own people? My son, this is called your own people."

After all, Yang Guang looked at Empress Xiao: "Your son is extremely honorable, so what is there to be dissatisfied with? Is it possible that I can replace the second and third with a few kings?"

Empress Xiao curled her lips: "You can seal it if you want, I don't care about you."

"You can't control me either," Yang Guang snorted coldly, "The person who can control me is gone now."

The father reprimanded the mother, and Yang Ming hurriedly said: "The empress mother just said to be cautious, and I think so. After all, Yang Qing and Yang He have a weak foundation, and they still need to practice first, and entrust them with heavy responsibilities all at once. I'm afraid they will take over. Can't stop."

"Is there anything you can't handle?" Yang Guangdao: "My son, I know it myself."

Well, Yang Ming also said, what do you like, anyway, Yang Qing, Yang He, I know the basics, and I have a good relationship with me, so I will need it in the future.

In fact, Yang Guang found that Yang Ming didn't seem to care much about the difference between his son and concubine, and he treated Yang Rui and Yang Jin equally.

However, special attention was paid to the eldest son, which not only consolidated Yang Rui's status, but also made the other sons evenly favored, and did not receive second-class treatment because they were concubines.

Yang Guang thinks that this is actually the best way. It is a flaw that his heirs are withered. He has too few sons, so he has to take care of Yang Ming's views on many things. If I have more sons, why do I do this?

The only one who can change Yang Guang's mind now is Yang Ming, and Yang Guang is very passive. With his temperament, he doesn't like this.

I want to protect Yu Wenhuaji, but I have to find a way to drive you away, it's not too much effort.

"For the next two months, you should take a good rest. Attend the court meeting on the 15th day of the junior high school. You can arrange the rest of the time yourself." After Yang Guang said this, he kept paying attention to the expression on his son's face.

Yang Ming was expressionless.

He already knew it in advance, and Yang Yue wrote him clearly.

It seems that Dad wants to protect it hard this time. In this case, I can't do without giving face, but Yu Wenhuaji's hope of safety and security is just a dream.

Empress Xiao was dissatisfied at first: "It's hard for me not to think about giving the concubine the king and letting the prince stop the court."

Yang Guang frowned and said, "What? Can I still abolish the third child?"

Why not?Isn't that what you said?Yang Hao said: "Did the third child make some mistakes?"

Yang Guang turned his face, looked directly at the second child, and said, "What? You still expect to go up?"

"No, no, this son-in-law has absolutely no intention of convincing the third child. He is just curious," Yang Hao hurriedly said with a smile.

Yang Guang said coldly: "Put away your ridiculous curiosity. They supervise the country in the rear, build refineries, improve craftsmanship, and appease Shandong and Hebei. They work day and night. I feel distressed, so I let them rest for a while. Xie, do you think it's you? I let you rest because you caused trouble."

Yang Hao had nothing to say, she drooped her head and fell silent, and the wives and concubines around her didn't dare to say a word either. The aura of the concubine and side concubine of the crown prince on the other side was too strong, and it crushed them to death.

Yang Ming said: "My son has often suffered from insomnia recently, and he really should rest for a while, but he can't stop coming to pay his respects to the queen every day."

Empress Xiao comforted her face and said: "Aniang also knows about your hard work. When I'm free, I'll go to the East Palace to see you."

Yang Ming nodded.

The following family banquet was more normal, not talking about business, just gossip, don't think that the emperor doesn't gossip, as a person has a heart for gossip.

When Yang Ming returned to the East Palace, it was already late at night, but Li Jing and his wife hadn't left yet.

Hongfu Nu also brought her eldest son Li Dejian and her second son Li Deju, who were eight years old and five years old. These two boys often entered the palace, and they had a very good relationship with Yang Rui and the others.

In history, Li Jingyuan had these two sons together, but there is no record of who gave birth to these two sons, but in this life, it is true that Hong Fu Nu is the mother.

After Yang Ming saw the couple, he smiled wryly and said, "It's so late, why did you wait so long?"

Li Jing said with a smile: "Until His Highness comes back, I will be reluctant to leave my humble position."

"Don't go," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile: "The pharmacist will live in the palace tonight, and your left guard will lead the official office, and the crown prince will leave it empty for you. Just in time, De Jian and De Prize are also here. Tomorrow I will let you If someone takes them to the Imperial College, it's time to calm down and don't waste it."

Hong Fu Nu hurriedly thanked: "Excuse me, the Crown Princess personally arranged it."

Yang Yinjiang sat down beside the other party, and affectionately held Hong Fu Nu's arm and said:
"We are not outsiders. When I met you, the pharmacist hadn't visited the door yet. Let's go, Your Majesty has rewarded me with many Goguryeo gadgets. You and I can go and have a look, pick a few and put them back for fun."

She deliberately took Hong Fu Nu away to give Yang Ming and Li Jing a chance to talk about business.

Hong Funu was a smart person, she hurriedly led her two sons, saluted Yang Ming, and followed Yang Yinjiang away.

Looking at the backs of the two children, Yang Ming joked, "In this regard, you are not as good as me. I already have five sons."

Li Jing smiled bitterly and said: "You will know the kindness of your parents when you raise a child. The dog's stubbornness has already caused a headache for the humble staff, so I dare not raise it anymore."

"What? Did you raise it yourself?" Yang Ming was stunned.

Li Jing nodded: "I'm spoiled, the two children are no longer afraid of me, and it's too late to regret it now."

"That's not how my son was raised," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Li Jing is 42 years old this year. He had his first son when he was 34 years old.

The two sons are young and already have the appearance of dudes.
