Emperor Sui Yang

The person who came with the Imperial Medical Office to treat Yang Ming was Yang Guang's absolute confidant Ma Laoliu.

After confirming the prince's condition, he walked out of the house and called Chen Kui and Zhu Sanli.

Both of them were old men from the Jin Dynasty. They were brothers under Ma Laoliu. They saw him standing under a cypress tree in the courtyard and asked:
"When did the prince become ill?"

Chen Kui said: "In the northern expedition to Hebei, the prince became increasingly thinner and his physical condition also changed. He fell ill when he was in Zhuojun, and then went to Jiangnan. The Qingyi River War lasted for 24 days, and the prince presided over it day and night. Overall, he didn't take off his armor for 24 days, slept less than an hour a day, and fell ill after the war."

Zhu Sanli also said: "In the battle of Qingyi River, the prince was already struggling. He fainted once on the way back to Jiangdu. After seeing Yu Wenshu, he fell completely ill. Maybe it was because of the poor care of the military doctors. On the ship At that time, it actually got worse.”

These two people have been with Yang Ming for more than ten years. Yang Ming treats him like a confidant, and his hard-heartedness should be changed. What's more, they have been completely devoted to Yang Ming many years ago.

Ma Laoliu nodded: "The prince has been out on the march for more than a year. He has been traveling everywhere, worrying and working hard. He has great responsibilities and a heavy mind. It is normal for the body to be unable to bear it. How can this disease still be contagious?"

The reason why he didn't dare to stay in Yang Ming's room for a long time was because he was afraid that he would be infected. Because he was Yang Guang's personal guard, it didn't matter if he got infected, he couldn't pass it on to the emperor.

Chen Kui nodded: "Both Xue Shou and Du Ruhui fell ill. Their symptoms are the same as those of the prince. Among them, Xue Shou is more serious. He also has a febrile disease at the moment."

Febrile disease means fever. If you take a cold bath in this weather, you will also have a fever. Zhang Yuanbei and Yang Yuanqing, this is because your health is too good and nothing is wrong. Who is Xue Shou?Xue Daoheng's son is a weak scholar.

Ma Laoliu nodded: "In this case, after returning to Dongdu, you must take good care of the prince in the palace. Other generals should not let them enter the prince's dormitory often. Your Majesty will also judge their merits."

"Brother, don't worry, we will tell you," Zhu Sanli said.

Ma Laoliu was silent for a moment and said, "Don't say it was me who said that."

After that, he returned to Luoyang one step ahead of schedule.

Ziwei Palace, Huiyou Palace.

After Yang Guang listened to Ma Laoliu's narration, he remained silent. On the contrary, Yu Shinan sighed:

"It seems that the prince is taking precautions. He must have been affected by those rumors. Regardless of whether he is really sick or fake, your majesty will not be able to see the prince in a short time."

Yang Jian sneered: "Pretending to be sick? Sima Yi, the third child has a thief's heart."

Yu Shinan raised his eyebrows and said: "So many people from the Imperial Medical Office have gone to the hospital, and they all agree that the prince is really sick, and there is a risk of infection. King Qi can't talk nonsense."

"Am I talking nonsense?" Yang Jian said hoarsely: "I have been away for more than a year and I haven't gotten sick yet. Why did I get sick just before returning to Dongdu? Lao Liu is also confused. Can you believe what Chen Kui and Zhu Sanli said? These two people are both confused. How many years have you followed Lao San?"

What he said was right, but it undoubtedly hurt Ma Laoliu's self-esteem, and he was more or less complaining that he was easily deceived.

So Ma Laoliu said directly: "If King Qi doesn't believe me, you can take a look for yourself."

Yang Jian hurriedly smiled and said: "The general of the world's soldiers and horses, if he gets sick in Zhuo County, there will be no news at all. He is obviously making up lies. The sixth brother also attaches too much importance to friendship. Yu Xi is not the third brother's best friend." Really? You can find out if you come back and ask him."

Yu Xi is the second son of Yu Shiji, which is why Yu Shiji sometimes speaks a few words of justice for Yang Ming.

But this will never affect Yu Shiji's absolute loyalty to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang looked at Yang Jian and said, "The third brother has returned home from a great victory and needs to be welcomed. You should go there."

Yang Jian suddenly changed his color: "His disease is contagious. What if my son gets it if he goes there?"

"Don't you believe it?" Yang Guang raised his eyebrows.

Yang Jian lowered his head and said, "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what might happen. What if he is really sick?"

Yang Guang sneered repeatedly
After a long while, Yang Guang said: "I have told you that the prince is temporarily recuperating in the palace. If there are any visitors, he will not be allowed to meet him. Li Jing, Yang Xuanting, Yang Yuanqing, Lai Zheng, and Gao Biaoren will come to the palace to see him."

There must be a grand welcome ceremony, but Yang Ming couldn't show up, so it was relatively brief.

Now the whole of Luoyang knew that the prince was ill, so that countless people poured into various temples and temples to burn incense and pray for the prince.

Among the female relatives in the East Palace, only Pei Shuying ran out and took care of her husband personally.

Yang Ming's fever has gone away and he can barely eat some liquid food now, but his body is still very weak.

After returning to Prince Qin's Mansion, there was an endless stream of visitors coming to visit him every day, but most of them only dared to greet the prince through the door. After all, the emperor had a decree not to meet the prince.

Even so, many people still saw Yang Ming.Of course, the outside world would not know that they had met the prince. This was also an advantage of pretending to be sick. The emperor did not know who the prince met or what he said.

Yang Zhiji and Yang Lun are currently in the house, sitting on both sides of the door, some distance from Yang Ming's bed, in order to avoid infection.

Yang Ming's limbs were sore and he was helped up by Pei Shuying, and then he raised his hand to signal Pei Shuying to stay away for now.

Because he knew that no one could know what Er Yang said to him, and the two of them would not say it when others were present.

"Prince, be careful," Yang Zhiji whispered, "Rumors are spreading all over the East today, and they are definitely not groundless. I'm afraid your Majesty really means that."

Yang Ming looked at Yang Lun and said, "What do you think, Uncle Wang?"

Yang Lun nodded and said: "It is better to believe that it is true than to believe that it is not true. Before the prince returned north to Luoyang, the left and right Yiwei and the Luoyang army were transferred first. This is a bit wrong. Logically speaking, it is the prince who is in charge of the overall situation in Jiangnan, so it should be It is up to you to lead the troops back to the division. Your Majesty must be a little wary in doing so."

"I have also heard those rumors. As the two uncles said, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others," Yang Ming said frankly.

Yang Zhiji immediately smiled. The prince's willingness to say this showed that he could trust them both, so this illness was most likely a fake.

He was originally worried that Yang Ming would foolishly go back to the palace and be easily detained, but looking back now, the prince was still very cautious.

"Yang Jian now goes in and out of Huiyou Hall every day to talk secretly with His Majesty," Yang Zhiji said: "The attendees include Yu Zhongwen, Yu Juluo, Shi Xiang, the Yu brothers, Duan Wenzhen, Zhang Jin, Jing Yuanheng, Wang Zhou, Yuan Chong , You Yuan, Liu Shilong, Huangfu Wuyi and others, these people are not close to the prince."

What he meant was that these people were all the emperor's confidants. They were either neutral factions or clan factions. They were simply people of the emperor. They were talking in secret together. What could they talk about?

Why does Yang Zhiji know this?Because his son Yang Daoxuan is the deputy commander of the palace garrison, General Hu Benlang, and belongs to the clan's hussar.

Since Yang Ming was willing to dig deep into his heart, Yang Zhiji stepped forward directly and whispered: "The king is making a big mistake and has misled the country and the people. Now it is up to the prince to bring order to the chaos, and the young people are on the side. However, they can't do anything to me. The clan members are willing to cooperate with you." Your Highness will work hard to control the sea."

Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Lun, who nodded and said: "We are of the same mind, but we will wait for His Highness's orders."

Yang Ming was silent for a moment and said: "You will retreat as soon as possible and wait for my news. On the day of success, we will share the wealth."

Er Yang looked at each other, nodded, and left.

With the support of the clan, Yang Ming was also confident. He grew up in the palace and knew how powerful the clan was. With the clan's hussars on his side, it would be much easier to deal with his father.

Why are the Zongtuan hussars so awesome?Their number is not large, there are only 3000 people in total, but among these 3000 people, either their father's surname is Yang, or their mother's surname is Yang.

They only listened to the emperor alone, not even the queen. Dugu Jialuo killed Yang Jian's Xinhuan Yuchi family, and Yang Shuang, the leader of the clan's hussars at that time, also tried his best to stop him.

Yang Shuang was raised by Dugu Jialuo, and he could listen to everything else, but when it came to Yang Jian, he couldn't listen to Dugu Jialuo.

As a result, he was kidnapped by Dugu Jialuo's people, and Dugu Jialuo successfully made his move.

In addition to Er Yang, Yang Xuanzang must also be able to come in. He is one of his own, but Yang Xuanzang didn't know that the rumors in Luoyang were planned by his uncle. After he came in, he yelled:

"This bitch Yang Jian must be the one who did it. He was trying to build momentum for the future and accuse His Highness of crimes so that His Highness could be convicted."

"The crime of Luo Zhi?" Yang Ming couldn't help but look at Pei Shuying behind him and said with a smile: "What crime? Transferring the Xiangyang Navy? If this can be considered a crime, then let it count."

Pei Shuying snorted coldly: "Not to mention transferring the navy, even being executed in Jiangdu to protect the children is not considered a crime. I have made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion in the world. I don't know what crime I can bear. Yang Jian is here Jiangdu has lost its main force, and no one has come forward to speak out, let alone the prince?"

Yang Xuanzang said with an embarrassed look: "Your Highness, you still need to be more careful. There is something wrong with the voices in the court now. I found that Yu Shiji and Zhang Jin seemed to be siding with Yang Jian. Without His Majesty's secret instructions, this would never happen. It's possible, it shows that His Majesty really has your heart set on you."

Yang Ming smiled: "You, don't think too much. Just do whatever I ask you to do, and don't ask too many questions. The important thing is mine. I have my own ideas in my heart."

Yang Xuanzang immediately felt relieved and said: "Wei Zheng was beaten again in today's court meeting. He wanted to vindicate Wei Xuan and Wei Yun. It was obvious that he was going for Yang Jian, but he was kicked by Yu Zhongwen."

"This is to protect him, not to beat him," Yang Ming said: "Yu Zhongwen is an old fox. He is as scheming as Yu Wenshu. This kind of person is the best at hedging his bets. Leave him alone."

At this time, Chen Kui came to report that brother Yuwen wanted to meet the prince.

Yang Xuanzong frowned and looked at Yang Ming: "Do you want to see the prince?"

"Let them in, I want to hear what Yu Wenshu told them before he died," Yang Ming said calmly.

Yang Xuanzang nodded and slipped out of the back door.
