Prince Yang Yong has many children, thirteen sons and eight daughters.
It's a pity that such a high yield resulted in concubines.
In this regard, my father was very smart. The three sons and two daughters (those listed as legitimate children) were all born to Princess Xiao of Jin. The others who were not listed had three sons and four daughters born to other women.
Yang Jian and his wife, the third son and fourth daughter of a concubine, did not know that if Yang Ming had not gone to Jiangdu when he was six years old, even he would not have known that he had seven additional younger brothers and sisters, dressed like those in the palace. Like a servant, this is the sorrow of transcendence.
But he definitely didn't dare to talk nonsense about this matter, because Empress Dugu was particularly taboo about this.
In fact, his memory of his parents is very vague and pitiful.
I can only vaguely remember that Yang Guang and his wife were rare handsome men and beautiful women.
The evaluation of Yang Guang's appearance in history books is in six words: "Beautiful and graceful, but less intelligent".
It's too superficial. It's too general.
Dad Yang Guang's whole person gives people the impression that in addition to being ridiculously handsome, he also has a unique temperament from the inside out.
Modesty and low-key, gentle personality, strong martial arts...
All in all, this is a tall man with considerable masculine charm.
If Yang Ming hadn't traveled through time and become his son, Yang Ming wouldn't have thought that Yang Guang and Qian Qian could be related.
But this is the case, maybe because he hid it well, maybe because he has not yet become the emperor and has not tasted the high power.
That night, Yang Ming returned to Yuehua Palace.
Uncle Yang Yong's one hundred taels of gold has also been delivered. His eldest companion Xu Jing placed the gold on the table. Under the candlelight, it looked golden.
The two personal maids were dismissed by Yang Ming, and he and Xu Jing were the only ones left in the room.
"I have never seen so much money in my whole life,"
Yang Ming was lying on the table, staring at the gold in front of him with his small eyes.
Xu Jing smiled and whispered: "Your Highness has been in the palace for a long time and has no worries about food and clothing. Naturally, you don't need these things. But when you go out to play in the palace someday, this thing will be of great use."
nonsense! Do I still need you to explain to me the role of money? Do you really think I'm an eleven-year-old?
"Your kid was with my dad back then. Tell me, is my dad rich?"
The servants closest to Yang Ming are Nuan Dong, Liang Xia, and Xu Jing, his companion who has been shoveling shit behind his butt since he was a child.
However, the former was arranged by Empress Dugu, and Xu Jing was transferred from the Jin Palace in Jiangdu and used to serve Yang Guang.
Xu Jing chuckled, came over and whispered in Yang Ming's ear:
"In the battle to destroy Chen, our prince was the marching marshal. Your Highness, do you think your prince is rich or not?"
"It's easy to understand, hehehe..." Yang Ming suddenly burst into laughter, tapped Xu Jing's forehead and said, "My father can pretend. My grandparents, including the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, all thought he was a poor man. Where’s the ghost?”
"Shh, please keep your voice down,"
Xu Jing hurriedly stood on the door of the palace and listened for a long time. After making sure that no one was in the courtyard, he returned and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, this money is not visible to the public. Your Highness, please don't let it slip."
"Don't worry! Can I sell my father?" Yang Ming pulled Xu Jing closer and urged: "Please tell me in detail."
Even though Yang Ming is young, has a very strict mouth, and is the master, Xu Jing will not hide it from him at all.
Xu Jing thought about it in his mind and began to say slowly:
"In the battle to destroy Chen, we had three armies in the Sui Dynasty. The West Route Army of Shangshu Youshe Yang Su, the Middle Route Army of King Qin Yang Jun, and the East Route Army of our Prince. All three armies were controlled by the Prince. . The Chen Dynasty back then was called a rich man, much richer than our Sui Dynasty. After Han Qinhu, the general manager of Luzhou under the prince, conquered Jiankang, he looted countless treasures and beauties. The treasures were too numerous to count. At that time, he entered Jiankang’s soldiers have all benefited.”
"Didn't you go too?" Yang Ming said hehey: "How much can you put in your pocket?"
Xu Jing said with a smile: "What I have is all small money. They are all gifts from the prince and the princess. I do have a few treasures, but they are all kept in Jiangdu. When the villain returns to Yangzhou with His Highness, the prince will take them all if he likes them." go."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "What should I do with your things? Tell me, how was the money divided in the end?"
Xu Jingdao: "Although the prince's East Route Army was the main force in the attack on Chen, when the money was finally divided, Yang Su and His Highness the King of Qin also had a share, and they were still the big ones. The remaining troops, such as He Ruobi and Han Qinhu, attacked Jiankang. The general also took a lot, but Shangshu Zuopu She Gao Jiong was not willing to take it at first, but at that time everyone took it, and if he didn't take it, he would inevitably become the target of public criticism, so the meaning was divided a bit, but not much."
Xu Jing continued: "Your Highness, you don't know the scene at that time. When we were in the early days of the Sui Dynasty, the soldiers had just come out of the troubled times. The poor ones had their chests pressed against their backs. After they entered Jiankang, they suddenly saw With so much property, who wouldn’t be jealous? If our prince hadn’t divided the money at that time, I’m afraid there would have been a mutiny immediately.”
"So in the end, half of these treasured beauties were divided up by the attacking Chen army, and the remaining half was escorted back to Daxing and put into the national treasury."
It sounded very reasonable. Yang Mingzhi nodded. Before destroying Chen, the Sui Dynasty had just put down the rebellion of Yuchi Jiong and other three parties, and had several fights with the Turks who were eyeing them on the grassland. The entire north was indeed driven crazy by poverty.
Dad's move is equivalent to turning the reward to the three armies into sitting on the ground and dividing the spoils.
Yang Ming asked curiously: "My father should be the biggest boss, right?"
Xu Ming said with a proud face: "That's for sure. The battle to destroy Chen unified the north and south of China, which had been divided for more than three hundred years. This is a great achievement. Who dares to get more than our prince?"
As he spoke, Xu Jing's expression became more and more reverent. This was his deep admiration for Yang Guang.
"Either we say that our prince is generous. Everyone has a share of the half of the property that has been withheld. Those who are able will get more. It is very fair."
You know nothing! This is hush money, you have to pay to keep your mouth shut.
Yang Ming was a little speechless. His eldest companion Xu Jing completely worshiped his father blindly, so much so that his always smart brain was no longer enough.
Dividing the spoils privately was no small matter. Yang Ming felt that his grandfather Yang Jian must have known about it or even acquiesced.
But Yang Jian may not know the part that Yang Guang kept privately, as well as those who had the big heads.
"What, how did Zhang Lihua die?" Yang Ming was still very interested in this point.
It is recorded in the history books that Zhang Lihua, the beloved concubine of Empress Chen, was killed by Marshal Chang Shi, who was also the chief of staff of Chen's army, Gao Hao.
At that time, Yang Guang sent an order to the forwards who invaded Jiankang to keep Zhang Lihua for himself, but Gao Jong didn't give him the face and chopped off the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan with a click of his knife.
Don’t know what the truth is?
Xu Jingdao: "Zhang Lihua was executed on the order of the prince. How can we keep such a demon concubine who is causing harm to the country?"
"Really or not, please don't fool me?" Yang Ming said lightly.
Xu Jing said anxiously: "How dare you fool your Highness? I followed the army into the city and saw it with my own eyes."
Yang Ming is not sure whether it is true or not, but at present, it seems that his father does not look like the kind of idiot who can't walk around when he sees a beautiful woman.
Although he only stayed in Jiangdu for half a year, these six months completely overturned his impression of Yang Guang.
"By the way, my grandfather wanted to send someone to kill that Yuwen Yumin. Where is that woman now? Doesn't this matter have anything to do with my father?"
Yang Ming knew that if this matter was really related to his father, Xu Jing would definitely know about it, and Xu Jing would not hide it from him.
Xu Jing was the one who pulled the strings for many things that happened to his father, Yang Guang, in Daxing.
The reason why Xu Jing has such a large network is because his godfather works as a regular servant in the Palace of Internal Affairs. In layman's terms, he is the third-in-command among the eunuchs of Daxing Palace.
Those who have no roots always like to adopt a godfather or adopt a son or something to make up for the regret of not having a family.
It can be seen that Xu Jing was placed beside him, and his father also had foresight.
Sure enough, Xu Jing was not surprised but said happily:
"Your Highness is really smart. To be honest with you, the prince has told you before that if His Highness can see the clues, then the villain should not hide anything. If he can't see the clues, then the villain can't say anything."
Yang Ming rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Everything my father tells you will be told to me from now on. If something goes wrong, I will have time to deal with it."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as there is something that needs to be said, I will never hide anything," Xu Jing said seriously:
"That woman was kidnapped by the prince and returned to the East Palace. It would be the best outcome for her to die there, and it was also within the prince's prediction. Besides, she didn't know that she was being used."
Yang Ming nodded, "Well... it's best this way, so as not to get caught and give any excuses. But then again, Yu Wenshu is so good at playing? Is my daughter so willing to do it?"
"She's not her biological daughter," Xu Jing lowered his voice and said, "Our prince gave it to Yu Wenshu back then, and she was adopted as a adopted daughter by Yu Wenshu. This girl has a great background, but I can't tell His Highness yet."
Xu Jing is like this. There are some things that cannot be said. No matter how Yang Ming asks, his mouth is tight and he doesn't say a word.
Yang Ming didn't ask any more questions. If he was mixed in this group of people, he couldn't even survive the first three chapters of the online novel without the city government's scheming.
After Xu Jing left, Yang Ming called two bed-warming maids to warm his bed.
After the bed was warm, Yang Ming took off his clothes under Nuan Dong's service.
He sleeps on this end, and the warm winter and cool summer sleep on the other end.
As soon as he got into bed, two pairs of delicate little hands came over and gently rubbed his cold feet.
Ah...this damn princely life...
