Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 71 Suzaku Street
The next day happened to be the first day of May.

During the two days of the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, someone from the palace needs to go to Daxingshan Temple to offer incense. This is the rule set by Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo for the descendants of the old Yang family.

The day when Yang Yong molested Chen Shuyi was the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month last year.

Yang Guangyuan was in northern Xinjiang, and Concubine Xiao went to Renshou Palace, so Yang Ming and his three brothers must go to Daxingshan Temple today.

Crown Prince Yang Yong must not be able to go, because the East Palace is too busy now, but his sons must go.

Jingshanfang, where Daxingshan Temple is located, is just above the Ninth Five-Year Plan according to the Fengshui layout of the Sui Dynasty.

As the so-called "Ninth Five-Year Supreme", it belongs to the position of "Flying Dragon" and is not suitable for ordinary people to live in.

So Yu Wenkai, the chief designer of Daxing City, took Zhuque Street as the central axis, and built two large-scale temples in the two squares symmetrical from east to west to suppress the dragon spirit.

To the west is the Taoist Xuandu Temple, located in Chongyefang.

To the east is the Buddhist Daxingshan Temple, located in Jingshanfang.

The shortest and most convenient route to Jingshanfang is without a doubt Suzaku Street.

This street was the number one street in the world at that time, and no street in any country could match it.

Zhuque Street starts from Mingde Gate in the south and ends at Zhuque Gate of the Imperial City in the north, with a total length of nine kilometers and a width of 150 meters.

On both sides of the street, two rows of locust trees were planted in the early years of Kaihuang, and now they are as graceful as covers.

Under the locust tree, it is also a gathering place for vendors. If you can set up a street stall on Zhuque Street, you must have someone on it, and you can't set up this stall without anyone.

Every time Yang Zhao enters Beijing, he always takes this route, so he has a good impression of the shops on both sides of the street.

In the carriage, Yang Zhao introduced Yang Ming and the others with great interest:

"No matter the shops and houses on both sides of Suzaku Street, they are all mansions with generous regulations. For example, those that are extremely gorgeous and majestic, and the interior decorations are full of ingenuity, all belong to the industry of high-ranking and powerful people. No one like this kind of shop If you are willing to sell it, you can’t buy it even if you want to.”

Hearing this, Yang Ming joked: "If you say that, Yu Wenkai's threshold must have been broken through."

"If you can design this mighty city in the world, what's the harm in making money?" Yang Zhao said with a smile:
"Besides, he can't be the master of a good plot. When Daxing was just built, apart from the distribution of the clan and officials' homesteads, the land prices in other squares were also different. Among them, it belonged to the Zhuque Street. Highest."

With that said, Yang Zhao pointed to a well-regulated shop outside the carriage and said:
"For example, in this shop, there is a shop facing the street, and a house behind the shop. It should be a big house with a six-story courtyard. It's just that the land of this house costs at least [-] yuan. This is still the first year of the founding emperor."

"What about now?" Second child Yang Hao asked curiously.

Yang Zhao shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't know now. Generally, no one will make a move on a house or shop like this, and they will leave it to their descendants, unless there are special circumstances."

Yang Ming can understand this point.

In the Sui Dynasty, the property rights of homesteads were permanent, including shops, because shops were also built on other people's homesteads.

In other words, as long as you bought this land with money, unless you sell it yourself, or the dynasty changes and the new dynasty refuses to accept it, otherwise, this land will always be yours.

That's why it's always been said that war has always been a reshuffle, because it turns what was yours into someone else's.

Of course, there is another possibility called coercion and temptation.

Just like Yang Ming deliberately frightened Fang Xuanling yesterday.

A house was favored by a wealthy businessman, and the wealthy businessman paid three times the price to buy it. This is called the temptation of profit.

The same house, after being spotted by a person with a background and threatening you, you obediently offer it with both hands, this is called intimidation.

Therefore, the shops on both sides of Suzaku Avenue have changed hands several times, and now they are basically in the hands of powerful people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are at least twenty shops here, which are the property of Qin Wang Yang Jun. This prince is also the most wealthy among Yang Jian's five sons.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming suddenly turned his head and asked Yang Zhaodao in a low voice:
"What's the situation with third uncle now? Does elder brother know?"

Yang Zhao pondered for a moment, then raised his hands to embrace the two younger brothers in front of his face, and said in the smallest voice:
"Third uncle is poisoned. I heard that he has fainted many times. Now it is difficult to get water and rice. I'm afraid." After speaking, Yang Zhao paused, and then said:
"According to the imperial physician, the viscera have been injured, and it cannot be cured."

Yang Ming pretended to be shocked and said, "Who dares to poison third uncle?"

"Isn't it?" Yang Hao also had an unbelievable expression on his face: "Brother, who did you listen to? You don't want to talk nonsense about this."

"How could I talk nonsense?" Yang Zhao stared at the second child with a serious face, and continued to lower his voice:
"My grandfather and grandmother told me that the third uncle was poisoned by the princess. You two must not spread such a scandal."

After Yang Ming and Yang Hao looked at each other, they nodded hastily like a rattle drum.

For the second child, Yang Hao, it was indeed an unimaginable and shocking event. The dignified prince was poisoned by his own princess, and he couldn't find a second one after searching through the history books.

What is this called?
Of course, Yang Ming wouldn't be surprised, but what he was thinking at the moment was, after Yang Jun's death, who would own so many properties under his name?
Normally, it must be passed down from father to son, but Yang Jun's situation is special.

Because according to history, after Yang Jun's death, his concubine Cui Shi, the younger sister of Cui Hongdu, Duke of Wuxiang County, would be deposed by Yang Jian and given to death.

And Qin Wangfei Cui Shi is also the aunt of Yang Zhaozheng Concubine Cui Shi.

There is a saying in the Sui Dynasty that the mother is more valuable than the son, and the son is more valuable than the mother. If the mother commits a crime, the son is the same. Therefore, Yang Hao in history was abolished as a commoner during Yang Jian's reign.

It wasn't until his father Yang Guang came to power that Yang Hao took over the title of King Qin.

Now that I think about it, Yang Ming thinks that Yang Hao is quite pitiful. His mother poisoned his father, and he was demoted to a common man by his grandfather. Later, after Yu Wenhua rebelled in Jiangdu, he supported Yang Hao as emperor. Unfortunately, not long after, he was poisoned by Yu Wenhuaji.

It seems that Yang Hao has never had a good thing in his life, and he is still a fool when he dies.

Sometimes the world is such a coincidence, say Cao Cao Cao Cao will come.

Yang Hao's motorcade also appeared on Suzaku Street, 60 meters behind Yang Ming and the others.

In fact, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, Suzaku Street will be patrolled by Hou Weijing Street, who was called Jinwuwei in the Tang Dynasty.

The so-called street cleaning means to clean up all the side that affects the appearance of the city, because these two days are the days when the royal family members go to Daxingshan Temple to offer incense.

Of course, street stalls don't count.

In Daxing, setting up street stalls is not considered to affect the appearance of the city.

It seemed that they had spotted Yang Ming's convoy, and the car behind the Prince of Qin's Mansion suddenly accelerated and drove towards the front, and the pedestrians on the street gave way one after another.

When the two carriages drove side by side, Yang Hao lifted the curtain and shouted to this side:

"Brother Shiming (Yang Zhao's nickname) is in the car?"

Yang Zhao opened the curtain and responded with a smile: "Brother, please get in the car and tell me."

"It should be so," Yang Hao agreed.

Then, the two convoys reined in at the same time. After Yang Hao changed trains, he ordered his own convoy to follow behind the Jinwangfu convoy.

"The last time I met my brother seemed like yesterday, and my brother lost weight,"

Yang Hao never dared to be rude in front of Yang Zhao.

In fact, even the prince's eldest son, Changning Wang Yang Yan, was very unnatural in front of Yang Zhao.

Looking at the third generation of the old Yang family, Henan Wang Yangzhao is the only one.

At the same time, Yang Hao also greeted the two of Yang Ming: "Brother Yu, Brother Ming, let's meet again after a spring outing."

Yang Ming also hastily said: "Three days after the farewell, brother actually lost weight."

"It's hard to say." Yang Hao let out a long sigh with a dejected look on his face.

Seeing this, Yang Ming quickly changed the subject: "Where's Yang Zhan? Didn't he come?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ming felt his second brother Yang Hao secretly pinch him from below.

Only then did Yang Ming realize that Yang Zhan was a concubine
