The two baby boys were born less than a quarter of an hour apart. The baby boy born to Princess Xiao Ying was the first child of the third generation of Prince Wei, and the eldest son of Yang Ji; the baby boy born to concubine Pei Shuying was the second son. .
Dugu Min was very happy about this, and at the same time she was secretly relieved: because if Pei Shuying took the first step towards Xiao Ying and gave birth to a child, there would be no possibility of fighting between the legitimate concubine and the concubine! As Xiao Ying is a royal concubine recognized by the royal family, his child is bound to be Yang Ji's first heir. Pei Shuying cannot compete with her at any cost, even with Yang Ji's support!
If the eldest son of a concubine has no hope of inheritance, he will have to endure the suspicion of his legitimate son, and this legitimate son has the support of the royal family and clan rules. This is undoubtedly a tragedy for him! Fortunately, Pei Shuying's child was born a little late, which made the child lose all advantages, which made everything easy to solve.
Soon, Mrs. Wen finished cleaning the baby and took out two small swaddling clothes. One of them had a purple swaddling clothes and the other one had a red swaddling clothes.
Yang Ji only took one look and knew that the purple one was born by Xiao Ying, and the red one was born by Pei Shuying.
The two children seemed to be tired of crying, and they came out without shouting. They opened their eyes, turned their heads hard, and looked at this strange world curiously.
"This child has beautiful features and looks very much like a young master." Liu Rumei expressed her opinion as she looked at Xiao Ying's son held by Queen Xiao.
Empress Xiao nodded in agreement: "But with bright eyes, this place looks more like a Vajra slave."
Then, she looked at the one in Dugu Min's arms and continued: "This child is quieter and more delicate, more like Shuying, and the little mouth is just like the one the King Kong slave had when he was a child. He is really cute."
Newborns are actually not that cute. Although they are not "wrinkled, like little old men or little old ladies" as coined by the young author, their little faces are a little rosy because they were just born, and they look a bit like flesh. Maybe they have just been washed. Because of this, the skin appeared a little dry in the air; but Yang Ji found that the eldest son's eyes were indeed frighteningly bright, well, he did have his father's style.
A group of women stood together and happily discussed who their children would look like more in the future. In fact, Yang Ji, Xiao Ying, and Pei Shuying were all among the best. Yang Ji was not said to be the most beautiful man in the world, but he was also masculine and handsome. Needless to say, Xiao Ying and Pei Shuying, if analyzed based on genetics, these two children are definitely not much different.
"Vajra slave, give the child a name!" Dugu Min saw Yang Ji carefully taking the "purple" from Queen Xiao's hand, so she also handed the "red" to him. It was funny to see that he was so nervous that he was sweating. suggested.
Yang Ji held one hand in each hand, feeling light and airy, but at this moment he felt as steady as a mountain, and for some reason, the sweat was flowing down uncontrollably. Although the two children are not very good-looking yet, because they are their own children, the more they watch it, the more they like it.
At this moment, Yang Ji thought about Liu Xuan, Liu Zhuo and others again, and when he was about to give them to everyone to choose, he heard someone outside shouting: "The saint is here!"
After a while, the Emperor of the Sui Empire rushed in anxiously.
"See the saint..." Everyone hurried forward to greet him.
"No gifts, no gifts..." Yang Guang waved his hand and looked at Yang Ji who was slightly hunched over and did not dare to move. He suddenly became happy. He took a few steps forward, looked at the two babies, and asked with a smile. : "Boy or girl?"
"Both are boys. The purple one is Aying's child and the eldest." Yang Ji said.
Hearing this, Yang Guang said happily: "Okay, okay, King Wei finally has a successor." With that, Yang Guang took the purple swaddling clothes from Yang Ji's hand. The child was very disrespectful to Yang Guang and burst into tears again.
The crying seemed to be contagious, and even the little guy on Yang Ji's hand started crying.
Yang Ji was in a hurry and didn't know how to comfort him. Hearing his son cry so loudly, he felt distressed and said, "Why are you crying again? Are you hungry?"
Yang Guang laughed and said with experience: "The rhythm of children's crying is different, and it seems to have different meanings. Such clear and loud cries are caused by newborns who have just come out of the mother's body and cannot adapt to the outside world, so their cries are Inevitable, especially the first day, it is almost endless. After a day or two, they will adapt. It is not good not to cry at this time, and the louder and more powerful the cry, the more it can prove that the child They have strong vitality, so they are easy to care for.”
"That's good, that's good!" Yang Ji said like a repeater, holding the child in his hands, overjoyed.
Yang Guang patted the baby gently, turned to Yang Ji and asked, "Do you have a name?"
Yang Ji smiled sheepishly: "I thought about it a lot, but I couldn't decide for a while."
Yang Guang immediately said: "Then I, the uncle, will come and get it!"
"I will name my child myself." Yang Ji didn't care whether Yang Guang was the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty or not. Hearing that Yang Guang had deprived him of the right to name him, he was unhappy.
When Yang Guang saw that Yang Ji actually rejected his kindness, he immediately glared and said with a straight face: "What? Does King Wei think that I, the emperor, can't take it? Or is it not good to take it?"
Yang Guang was a little worried about his face, and even used the rare "I".
Only then did Yang Ji realize that he was named after Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Empire, and he said sarcastically: "Of course not, it's just that I am the father of the child..."
"Then you think that as the head of the family and an uncle, I have no right to name my nephew?" The murderous look in Yang Guang's eyes became a little more intense.
"Of course not..." Yang Ji didn't know that once a baby boy was born in a famous family, the name was usually chosen by the highest-ranking male relative. Even if Yang Ji was the father of the child, he did not have this right. However, he was the only male in Prince Wei's room, so he had the right to name it; but now, Yang Guang, the emperor, head of the family, and uncle interfered, and Yang Ji lost the right to name it again.
Everyone on the sidelines listened to their argument and looked at Yang Ji as if he were a fool: In today's world, except for the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, the only two children in the world who can be named by the emperor are Yang Ji. Okay, what an honor this must be? But Yang Ji, on the other hand, not only did he not apologize, but he stupidly refused?
"That's right!" Yang Guang then put away his "angry face" and continued to scold him with a kind face: "This is the eldest and second grandson of the third generation of Prince Wei's family. In the future, he will be the descendant of my Yang family. The pillar of support must naturally be given a safe name so that the child will have a smooth life and outstanding talents. How can we do it casually?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Besides being a yes-man, what else could Yang Ji say?
Yang Guang asked again: "Does it have the name of special intention? Why not take it out for reference?"
When it comes to knowledge, Yang Guang admires his cousin Yang Ji very much.
Yang Ji's literary talent is outstanding and unparalleled in the world. His poems, lyrics and songs are praised all over the world, and his concise articles are all masterpieces. As long as he writes some poems from time to time in the future that are no less good than those before, then thousands of years later They must have a glorious place in the history of the literary world; and their branch of the "Hongnong Yang family" can also rely on Yang Ji's talent to surpass the direct line of the Hongnong Yang family and transform from a relatively "secular" royal family and a political family into an orthodox one. A scholarly family.
"Brother, it's better to make up your mind. No matter what, I have no objection." Yang Ji knew that even if he named a bunch of names at this moment, Yang Guang would definitely veto him, so he simply stopped talking.
After pondering for a long time, Yang Guang looked at the child in his arms and said: "This child has bright eyes and majestic air. When he grows up, he will definitely be talented and have lofty aspirations. Let's call him Yang Hao! I hope he can inherit your achievements in the future. , Conquer foreign races abroad and secure the common people at home!”
Yang Ji was shocked by the name "Yang Hao", but the words "Yang Ritian" could not help but flash in his mind.
This is definitely the protagonist’s name!
Good, good, good!
"How?" Yang Guang asked again.
Yang Ji also nodded and expressed satisfaction: "Hao means endless meaning, such as Haotian Wangji and Haoqiong, which means vast and boundless; at the same time, it also means the deep kindness of parents. What a good name!"
In a few words, their brothers not only decided on the name of the eldest son, but also determined the status of Yang Ji's heir. This was not because they were too anxious, but after the birth of these two sons, Yang Ji's future heirs would definitely not be the same. Young man, in order to avoid the drama of seizing the legitimate heir, it would be better to make the decision early.
As for ability, Yang Ji can train him; as long as he continues to train for more than ten or twenty years, it will be enough to train an excellent heir.
"As for the second son, let's call him Yang Ming!" Yang Guang said with a smile, "What do you think?"
Yang Ji nodded silently.
Yang Guang asked politely, but how could he have the final say in this matter? If he raised questions at this time, he would be scolded again.
Besides, the word "明" is really good.
Just because "Nine Songs·Dongjun" says, "The night is bright and bright," which means both the sky is bright and the truth is clear. The "Book of Songs·Daya·Hao Min" says, "Be clear and philosophical, so as to protect yourself." This has evolved into the idiom "Be clear and philosophical to protect yourself".
As the second son, Yang Ming, if he really understands the truth and protects himself wisely in the future, then there will be no fight for heir apparent among the brothers.
The two names, Yang Hao and Yang Ming, each have their own profound meanings. They both represent the most sincere blessings from elders to children, full of boundless love and expectations.
After deciding on the child's name, Yang Guang added: "As an uncle, I cannot but express my wishes. Hao'er will inherit your title of Sui'an County King, with ten thousand households in the city and five thousand households granted. Tomorrow it will be Wuwei County." Sir, let’s teach it to thousands of households!”
The title system of the Sui Dynasty basically followed that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, with nine ranks: the first was the king/prince, the first rank; the second was the heir/prince, the first rank; the third was the Duke, the first rank; the fourth was the founding prefect, the second rank; the fifth was The sixth is the Duke of Kaiguo County, from the second rank; the sixth is the Marquis of Kaiguo County, from the third rank; the seventh is the Bo of Kaiguo County, from the fourth rank; the eighth is the son of Kaiguo County, from the fifth rank; the ninth is the male from Kaiguo County, from the fifth rank.
Among them, the county king and other ranks can be hereditary and replaced! As for Yang Ji, the prince-level King of Wei, if he were to pass on, he would be demoted to the heir apparent.
Of course, everything depends on the emperor's mood. For example, when Yang Ji, Yang Zhiji, Yang Lun, Yang Jing and others inherited the title, they should have been heirs, but Yang Jian was stunned and promoted them to princes.
Dugu Min, Liu Rumei, Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Pei and other women related to the children were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths when they heard Yang Guang's canonization. Their brows and eyes were full of emotion and love, and they all saluted Yang Guang to thank him.
Although Yang Ji also thanked him, he didn't feel much fluctuation in his heart. Just because of his contribution in the Northeast, Yang Guang still owes him the unfinished debt. Now, he just transferred the credit of Lao Tzu to his son. This method of canonization was not only obtained by him, but the titles of Yang Xuangan's brothers were also obtained due to their father's merits and had nothing to do with their brothers' talents and achievements.
As for some of the royal family members who came to wait for the birth of their children, although they also had smiles on their faces, their smiles were more filled with envy and reluctance.
At the moment, they were only interested in envy and jealousy, but they didn't know how many achievements Yang Ji had made for the Sui Dynasty over the years? How much impact did it have on the Sui Dynasty? How much blame was taken for Yang Guang?
Maybe, they all know it; but envy and jealousy are still inevitable.
Just because the world has been at peace for a long time in the Sui Dynasty, the era of needing to use titles to win over people has long passed, so the titles are now very rare. Except for a few famous people who have won the title, most of the generals with great merits, even the county No man can get it!
And here, if canonizing Yang Ji's eldest son as the county king is acceptable, then canonizing the second son as the founding county magistrate is a bit too much.
But the emperor's holy decree has been given, so what can envy and jealousy do?
Everyone was confused.
Yang Guang also didn't want Yang Ji to be isolated by the royal family. He looked at "all kinds of things in the world" and said loudly to Yang Ji, seemingly unintentionally but actually intentionally: "Vajra slave, you have made unparalleled achievements in the Northeast, and you have made me I’ve given the reward to my two nephews, don’t blame me for not knowing the rewards and punishments in the future.”
When the onlookers heard this, they felt a little better. If the emperor granted Yang Ji the meritorious service again, their mentality would definitely be shattered.
Yang Ji quickly expressed his stance: "Naturally, naturally!"
Yang Guang had many things to do and saw that it was getting late, so he did not stay in the palace for a long time. After chatting for a while, he left with Empress Xiao. The others also left one after another.
The only "outsiders" left are Yang Hao's grandmother, Mrs. Xiao, and Yang Ming's grandmother, Mrs. Pei.
Yang Ji handed over the children to his mother-in-law one by one, and then had time to meet the two "heroes"!
