Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 85

Yang Ming can now go home and wait for news with peace of mind.

Originally, he wanted to report to his father Yang Guang first, but he was not there, so he didn't know where he went.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he heard that Yang Wei's future father-in-law, Wei Chong, had returned to Beijing, and he went to work in the Ministry of Civil Affairs yesterday.

And Yang Hao will bring his wife, Wei Shi, back to the fiefdom of Yuzhang County after the wedding.

So Concubine Xiao has been taking Yang Hao by her side these days, and she has to follow her wherever she goes. It's normal to be reluctant to part with her son.

After the housekeeper Chu Ji knew that Yang Ming was back, he hurried to look for him:
"Sanlang don't want to go out these days anymore, the princess is talking about you every day at dinner, I have to go to the princess to say hello tonight."

"Okay, got it," Yang Ming agreed without hesitation.

I've been busy enough these days, my butt hurts from riding in a carriage, and Yang Wei is about to leave Beijing soon, so I really shouldn't run around anymore.

So after a brief wash, he went to pay his respects to his concubine mother.

Concubine Xiao originally thought that all three of her sons would be here tonight, and she would finally be able to have a reunion dinner, but it turned out that Yang Ming came back, and the eldest, Yang Zhao, disappeared again.

"Alas" Concubine Xiao sighed quietly, looking at the two sons and one daughter in front of her, she frowned and said, "Who of you know where Zhao'er has gone? Why did you leave without saying hello? You all learned from Ming'er. "

After finishing speaking, she gave Yang Ming a resentful look.

How did you learn from me?I was just doing business, my eldest brother probably went out for a while.

Of course Yang Ming wouldn't refute, he just smiled and lowered his head to eat.

"My child doesn't know," Yang Wei replied without raising his head, and followed suit.

On the contrary, Yang Chan thought hard for a while, frowned and said, "Brother heard from Yu Zan in the afternoon that Zhao Yu, the governor of Jizhou, passed away two days after returning to Beijing, and then the elder brother went out without saying anything, maybe it was for This matter?"

Zhao Yu died?Never heard of it?Yang Ming raised his head and looked at Yang Chan curiously.

Concubine Xiao also wondered: "What does Zhao Yu's death have to do with your elder brother? Zhao'er doesn't know him?"

"Then I don't know," Yang Chan stuck out her tongue.

Yang Ming looked at his mother and concubine strangely: "Zhao Yu is fine, what are you doing back in Beijing?"

Concubine Xiao knew about the news of Zhao Yu's death. Of course it was not Yang Guang who told him, but someone from the Ministry of Rites.

In the Sui Dynasty, when an official of the fourth grade or above passed away, the people in the Ministry of Rites had to notify the Prince's Mansion, and the Prince's Mansion sent people to attend the condolences.

This is a matter of etiquette, and it is also the value and recognition of the royal family for officials above the fourth rank.

There is no such treatment below the fourth rank, of course there are exceptions, for example, you have a particularly good background.

For example, if Li Yuan died now, even if Yang Guang couldn't go himself, the palace would have to send someone to go. Firstly, they were relatives, and secondly, Li Yuan was a future star who was cultivated by Yang Jian.

Concubine Xiao patiently answered Yang Ming's question:
"It is said that Zhao Yu was returning to Beijing to report on his work. Your grandfather was concerned about his poor health and wanted to let him go back to Daxing to recuperate. Unexpectedly, he couldn't survive the hard journey and passed away a few days after he came back."

"Oh, so it is,"

Yang Ming didn't think much about it either, maybe the boss Yang Zhao went to the feast as the son of Jin Wang.

After dinner, Concubine Xiao dragged a few children and refused to let them go. She insisted on chatting about household chores, and also asked Yang Hao to write letters to her family from time to time after returning to the fief. As she was talking, Concubine Xiao cried again.

It seems that she is a sentimental person.

It's the mother coaxing the child, Concubine Xiao's side is the other way around, the child has to coax the mother.

At this time, Chu Ji, the steward of the palace, hurried in from the outside:
"Mistress, something has happened, Zhao Yu's mansion has been surrounded by the forbidden army, I heard that Da Lang is in Zhao's mansion right now."

"What?" Concubine Xiao was shocked immediately: "Get the car ready immediately."

Yang Ming was also confused, what's going on? This is it?How come the mansion was besieged just after Zhao Yu died?

He didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly went out with Concubine Xiao.

"Get out of the way! Who dares to stop me!"

As soon as she got off the carriage, Concubine Xiao took the lead and rushed into the Zhao Mansion, and the guards guarding outside obediently gave way to Yang Laoer and his family.

As soon as she entered the mansion, Concubine Xiao was stunned by the scene in front of her.

In the front yard of the mansion, there was a mass of people kneeling down. These people were all dressed in mourning clothes, crying and kneeling in front of Yang Zhao, as if they were begging for mercy.

Concubine Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay, as long as my son is fine.

The crowd who originally wanted to express their condolences were all driven out by the imperial guards and hid in the street to watch the excitement.

Qu Tutong, the chariot and cavalry general, hurried over to greet the concubine Jin when he saw her.

Concubine Xiao was stunned: "What's going on?"

Qu Tutong replied: "Princess Hui, Zhao Yu's youngest son, Zhao Yichen, committed a crime of disrespect, and the last general ordered to arrest him."

"Disrespectful?" Concubine Xiao glanced around the yard again, and said, "Are you disrespectful to my son?"

"It is His Royal Highness the King of Henan," Qu Tu said.

Concubine Xiao was furious immediately: "Then what are you waiting for? Take it away immediately."

Qu Tutong looked puzzled: "The prince has already gone to the Second Sage to intercede, and King Changning is inside right now. He has already taken Zhao Yichen to the backyard, saying that he is waiting for news from His Royal Highness, and the general will not be able to get it."

"Bastard! Lead the way!"

Concubine Xiao cursed and ordered Qu Tutong to lead the way, and went straight to the backyard.

Tian Demao was also unlucky in Donggong Qianniu. This time, Yang Ming did not follow Concubine Xiao, but went to find Yang Zhao, so of course he didn't know Princess Jin who stayed in Jiangdu all the year round, so he directly blocked the passage in the backyard. Letting go, he didn't see the wink from Qu Tutong.

But Qu Tutong is also quite sinister, why are you winking, can you flash your tongue with a word?

A slap with a "slap",
After Tian Demao was slapped, he dodged out almost instinctively. He was wearing a golden armor of imperial guards, and his identity as Qianniu Beishen was obvious. Anyone who dared to slap him would dare to kill him.

The next step is simple, as long as you enter the backyard, Qu Tutong can just take people. When Changning Wang Yangyan saw this tigress who dared to beat his own mother, he didn't even dare to fart. Zhao Yichen was dragged away by the imperial guards.

The matter ended like this. Concubine Xiao later returned to the front yard and took her eldest son home.

On the way, Yang Zhao also explained what happened.

It turned out that there were a lot of people from the Zhao residence today to express their condolences. Yang Zhao was crowded in the crowd and was knocked down by that boy Zhao Yichen, who accidentally stepped on Yang Zhao.

This matter was immediately reported to Yang Jian by a guy named Chen Xian from Yushitai.

Yang Jian suddenly felt that he couldn't hold on to his face, okay, does someone surnamed Zhao dare to step on someone surnamed Yang?Only then did he order Qu Tutong to take the man.

This is the feudal era, bumping into someone and saying sorry is useful or not, it depends on who you bump into.

Whether you are guilty or not guilty of stepping on someone else depends on who you step on.

As far as Yang Ming guessed, Zhao Yichen would have to break his leg this time, because Yang Jian would not allow any legs that stepped on the old Yang family to exist in this world.

When Qu Tutong returned to Daxing Palace with a large group of people, he was stopped outside the palace gate.

"The supreme will, don't enter the palace, just cut it outside the imperial city."

"I am wronged, I am wronged, I want to see the prince, I want to see the prince" Zhao Yichen cried like crazy, his voice was so shrill that it could be heard near Zhuquemen.

Without any hesitation, Qu Tutong directly dragged Zhao Yichen to a corner of the imperial city.

With one hand up and down with a knife, the world is quiet.

If you want to kill a person, don't give him a chance to speak up. As long as you give him a chance to speak up, the person will generally not kill.

Killing, whether he is wronged or not, is up to me.

This is the style of work of Yang Jian, the supreme emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
