Emperor Sui Yang

Naturally, there was some trouble in Daxing City. Many ministers clamored to go to Dongdu to meet His Majesty, but they were suppressed by Liang Wang Yang Hao.

Yang Hao is Yang Jun's son. Their relationship with Yang Guang is very bad, but the relationship between Yang Hao and Yang Ming is very strong.

He received the order from Yang Ming, so he naturally knew what to do.

This is why he and Li Yuan were not recalled to Luoyang. Yang Hao was trustworthy, and Li Yuan was built in Yang Ming's hands because of his weakness, so he was not worried about causing trouble.

"The prince supervises the country. Now that the fourth uncle has entered the province, the prince asked you to take charge of the garrison of the capital. We brothers must keep Guanzhong under the supervision of the prince," Yang Hao said to his cousin Yang Xiao in the official office of Shangshu Province.

Although Yang Xiao was young, he knew very well that if nothing happened to the emperor, his father would never think of it. Now he not only went to Menxia Province, but also became the crown prince's eunuch. What does that mean?The emperor cannot come back.

"Is Your Majesty's injury serious?" Yang Xiao asked tentatively, he still wanted to make sure.

Yang Hao smiled and said: "The commotion in Luoyang is so big. If you think about it carefully with your brain, you should know what is going on. How can this idiot Yang Jian be so capable? If it weren't for the prince, you would have to go there for the rest of your life. Guarding the city gate, Your Majesty allows you to take charge of the capital's garrison?"

"It seems that His Majesty will never come out to rule again, right?" Yang Xiaodao.

Yang Hao nodded: "The prince has taken care of so many people at once, all of them are His Majesty's confidants. It can be seen that he is gradually taking control of the court. You and I have finally made it through."

"Brother has long been enjoying the blessings of being dependent on the crown prince," Yang Xiao complained: "Brother, I have been living under the influence of others these years, relying on others' opinions. After all, our brothers are all the direct descendants of our great ancestors, so we still have to look at the faces of those foreign ministers and the clan. Those bitches don’t take us seriously.”

"Haha, your grievances are not small. Whether the clan is in peace now or not, we will have the final say directly in the future," Yang Hao said: "Prince Cai, Prince Teng, and Prince Guan are not as close to the prince as we are. , the position will not be low in the future.”

These two people were also Yang Ming's supporters. When Yang Guang was here, just like Sun Tzu, the prince became a supervisor of the country, and his waist suddenly became hard.

During the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, the prestige of the clan, King Yang Shuang of Wei and King Yang Xiong of Guan, was still very high, but their power was given by Yang Jian and his wife.

Therefore, no matter how high their prestige is, they cannot compare to the biological son of that couple.

So now that these two people are gone, it is reluctant to count on Yang Zhiji and Yang Lun to support the clan. After all, their grandfather is Taizu Yang Zhong, which is a bit far away, and he is still a posthumous title. Jianguo has nothing to do with Yang Zhong. In fact, it has nothing to do with their fathers.

Their father was also named king because his brother was Yang Jian, and Jianguo did not contribute, and even dragged his feet.

The grandfather of Yang Hao and Yang Xiao was Yang Jian, the founding emperor.

Therefore, Yang Hao knew very well that in the future, their direct bloodline would have the final say in the future of the clan. When Yang Xiu came out, he was just going to suppress Yang Zhiji and Yang Lun. Even if he lost his title, it didn't matter.

Anyway, my father is Yang Jian and my mother is Dugu Jialuo. This will never change.

Yu Wenhuaji's Zuo Yiwei has already set off from Luoyang and returned to the capital. After all, Daxing is the capital. Yang Ming will come back here sooner or later. He doesn't like hanging around as much as his father.

Moreover, when he came back, he had to go to Yuwenshu's mausoleum to mourn, but his power was still the same and he could return to the court at any time.

You Yiwei was originally a child of Guanzhong, so it was impossible to stay in Luoyang for too long. His parents, wife and children were all in Guanzhong, so it would not be a big deal if he could not see his relatives for a long time.

However, You Yiwei had to wait until Lai Huer arrived in Luoyang before the Youyi Guards left, because Yang Ming was waiting for him to take the initiative to resign.

After Tu Wanxu left Hebei, the major military and political affairs in Hebei fell into the hands of Pei Xizai. This person had been with Yang Ming since the time of King Hedong. He was an absolute confidant. After his experience in Bashu, he also had rich experience in governing local areas. And with Qinghe Cui helping out, it won’t be a big problem.

This person would become a proper feudal official during Yang Ming's reign, and he was originally recommended to Yang Ming by Pei Shuying.

Pei Xizai had a son named Pei Judao in history. Pei Judao's daughter married Wu Zetian's eldest son Li Hong and became the crown princess. Li Hong died early and had an heir named Li Longji.

Tu Wanxu's heart is also empty now. It is impossible to expect people of his level to not know about such a big event in Luoyang.

After all, there were too many people involved in the Luoyang Palace Change, and 10,000+ people were moved.

Tu Wanxu also made a rough guess in his mind, knowing that when he returned to Luoyang this time, he would probably have a definite idea about the rest of his life.

As soon as he left, Hebei was under the control of Pei Xizai. Pei Xizai was the prince's servant. Now that the prince was in charge of the country, could he return to Hebei?I'm not stupid, I know I won't be able to go back.

He met Yang Ming in Daye Hall, Queen Xiao's bedroom.

Why meet him here?Because this man was an old subordinate of Yang Guang during the Jin Dynasty. He was punished by Yang Guang once for complaining about He Ruobi. Later, he was used to attack Liaodong, but the result was a mess and was hidden again.

During the battle in Hebei, I followed Yang Ming, and he also put in a lot of effort.

Empress Xiao first said: "I have discussed it with the prince. Now that Huaji has taken over Zuo Yiwei, you can go to Youyiwei and assume his position as general. The general is still Rong Gong. You should prepare well and protect your son later." After coming back, return to the capital with him."

Tu Wanxu was overjoyed. As long as he doesn't deal with me, anything will work. This outcome is much better than Zhang Jin and Guo Rong. Since the queen said so, the prince must have agreed, so he said:
"I accept the order and thank the queen and the prince for their kindness."

"You are an old minister too, don't kneel down all the time," Yang Ming said with a smile: "I said at the court meeting that anyone with a title is not allowed to kneel again as long as it is not against the law." During the Kaihuang period, Not many of Yang Jian's ministers knelt down. After all, the ministers at that time were all top bosses. They were from the same generation as Yang Jian. Their knees were hard and they couldn't kneel down.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he would deal with people at every turn, even daring to kill He Ruobi, so he frightened the courtiers, and some people began to kneel down again.

Now that Yang Ming is in power, the reason for abolishing this rule is actually to win over people's hearts. Not letting you kneel is equal to respecting you, and it also highlights the nobility of the title.

Tu Wanxu breathed a long sigh of relief. When he left Daye Hall, he looked at the dim sky and felt extremely relaxed. If nothing happened during the period of imperial power change, he would have a good life in the future.

Now that the empress has come forward to interfere in military affairs, it can be seen that the emperor cannot come out. Tu Wanxu only feels that it is really dangerous. If he had not followed the prince to Hebei this time, given his status, it would be impossible not to deal with him.

Then it will be easy to handle the next Zhang Xutuo. He is Yang Ming's family. After meeting Yang Ming, he talked about things and didn't mention anything about what happened in Luoyang.

After staying in Luoyang for three days, he returned to Shandong.

Hebei and Shandong are their own people, so the next step is to protect their children.

When Lai Huer returned to Luoyang, it was already the twelfth lunar month and it was snowing heavily.

He entered the city gate just after the curfew in Luoyang. He came to protect his son and did not want to wait until tomorrow, so he entered the palace that night to ask for an audience with the prince. Wu Houwei gave him the way.

"Ronggong, we are old acquaintances, and I would like to give you a heads up," Wei Yun said quietly as he sat in the child-protecting carriage.

Lai Hu'er raised his hand and said, "Yun Qi doesn't need to say more, I know what's going on."

Wei Yunqi actually came here to persuade Lai Huer to delegate power. This is also the position of the entire Wei family, because the Wei family now hopes that the situation will be stable and not cause more trouble, and Lai Huer is the biggest factor of instability.

If he doesn't delegate power, the prince will deal with him, but this person cannot be dealt with.

Under Yu Wenshu, he was the second person in the military system. If you touch him, the consequences will be very serious and it can easily lead to a mutiny. After all, the old subordinates who came to protect the children are all over the Twelve Guards.

When Wei Yunqi heard the words, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need to explain the words. He knew that Hu'er's wisdom was more transparent than his own, and he just wanted to remind him out of good intentions.

At the foot of the imperial city, King Wen Yang Qing, who had already received the news, personally led people to wait at the city gate to greet the guardian.

Lai Hu'er does not have the actual duties of the Three Gongs and Three Divisions, but he has this prestige. In the Sui Dynasty, there were only the Three Gongs and Three Divisions, plus Shangshu Ling and Left and Right Servants. When the prince saw him, he had to salute, but if your prestige is almost this, Prince Of course I will be very polite.

Su Wei and Pei Ju are on the same level as Lai Huer.

"Ronggong has been working hard all the way. You are old and in trouble, so you'd better rest before entering the palace," Yang Qing said with a smile.

Lai Hu'er smiled and handed over his hands: "It would be better to meet him earlier. His Majesty is injured. How can I compare the hardships of traveling and carriage with the hard work of the Queen and the Crown Prince?"

"That's true, Lord Rong, please," Yang Qing raised his hand politely.

In Daye Hall, Yang Ming got up quickly after receiving the news, and put on a piece of clothing so that he could greet him outside the hall in person in the cold winter weather.

Yang Ming was seen holding the hands that came to protect the children and said: "If you can come back and take charge of the overall situation, I won't have to work so hard."

Lai Hu'er also smiled and said: "I am willing to use my corrupt posture to share the burden for the prince."

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.

In the warm hall, the palace maid prepared food for the father and son who came to protect their son. Under Yang Ming's instructions, she also prepared some new cotton-padded clothes. They were all waiting for Empress Xiao.

"This was made by the Luoyang Weaving Workshop this year. It is not as good as the craftsmanship in Jiangnan, but it is still warm and wears close to the body," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Lai Huer said: "I have to ask the prince for more cotton-padded clothes from now on. My body is old and I need this kind of warm things the most. What the prince gave me is exactly what I wanted."

Yang Ming smiled and nodded: "I have worked hard on the affairs of Jiangnan this year. Now that the big things have been decided, it is better to leave this kind of hard work to young people. You will always stay with me and help His Majesty while he is recovering from his injuries. I."

Lai Huer did not mention anything about visiting Yang Guang. Hearing this, he said seriously: "Now that the world has settled down, it is time for the country and the people to rest together. There will be no more wars for a long time in the future. I would like to resign." Only when you have Yiwei on your side can you concentrate on assisting the prince."

Yang Ming glanced at Lai Kai, fell into silence, lowered his head and sighed.

After a while, Yang Ming raised his head and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Rong."

Lai Hu'er raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Prince."

The harmony between the king and his ministers is all there. (End of chapter)
