What does it mean to hate iron but not become steel?
The death of Concubine Yuan made Dugu Jialuo completely despair of Yang Yong. At this time, she no longer had the majesty of the mother of a country. Instead, she cried and grabbed anything she could grab, and hit Yang Yong hard. Smash it down.
The prince has no legitimate son.
This is to exterminate Yang Jian's queen...
Dugu Jialu vented all the resentment he had accumulated over the years.
"Go, get a whip and let me beat this traitor to death!" Dugu Jialuo shouted hysterically, and the eunuch next to him kowtowed in fear.
Everyone kneeling outside the hall was frightened by the sound coming from inside, and some even fainted from fright.
Because no one has ever seen Queen Dugu so furious.
Yang Jian did not stop Dugu Jialuo from venting his anger.
He has always had a glimmer of hope, thinking that even if Yang Yong and his wife don't have feelings for each other, as long as you give me a legitimate grandson, nothing will matter.
But at this moment, he felt an indescribable feeling of powerlessness, and his and Dugu Jialuo's long-awaited expectations were completely disappointed.
I walked on thin ice and was cautious, resolving many life and death crises along the way, and then gradually created the foundation of the Sui Dynasty.
Nowadays, the country is booming, but it encounters the dilemma of having no successors.
From the royal family to the nobles, family business and wealth have always been inherited by the eldest son.
He is my eldest son and the successor of Sui Dynasty. How could he...
The Sui Emperor, who had never shown the slightest sign of decline in front of anyone, seemed to have suddenly aged more than ten years at this moment.
I saw him holding the armrest of the chair and trying to stand up tremblingly.
Seeing this, Yang Ming hurried forward to help, but was pushed away by Yang Jian:
"Don't help me!"
Yang Ming quickly stepped aside.
Yang Jian stood firm step by step, slowly came to Yang Yong, and looked at his eldest son expressionlessly:
"Sui Difa, raise your head,"
"Father~~~" Yang Yong raised his head in tears as his face was covered with blood.
Yang Jian said word by word: "Your mother and I will never hit you again, so you can take care of yourself..."
.......
.......
That night, Yang Ming returned to the Yuehua Palace and waited until seven days later, the day of Concubine Yuan's funeral, before he and all the officials dressed in mourning clothes sent the coffin out of the city.
Immediately, Yang Jian ordered the court to be suspended for three days.
Because Yang Guang was going to Beijing soon, Yang Ming did not stay in the palace, but moved into the Daxing Jin Palace, waiting for his father to enter Beijing.
The death of Concubine Yuan had a profound impact.
The big shots in the court have gradually noticed that the Second Saint is becoming more and more distant from the prince.
This is absolutely great news for Yang Su.
In fact, Yang Ming had always believed that even if his father controlled the entire south and was so powerful, he would never be able to ascend to power if it weren't for the lack of direct descendants in the East Palace.
No chance at all.
Because Yang Ming knew very well that the child that Yang Jian and Dugu Jialu valued most was always Yang Yong.
The grandson they have always valued most is their eldest grandson, King Yang Zhao of Henan.
Yang Zhao rushed back from Luoyang three days ago to Daxing and is currently living in Yong'an Palace in Dugu Jialuo.
...
That evening, Yang Yue brought Yang Yinjiang to Prince Jin's Mansion.
He had something to discuss with Yang Ming, so he allowed Princess Yang Chan to take Yang Yinjiang away and wander around the palace.
After the two sat down in the tea room, Yang Ming winked. Xu Jing understood, left quietly, and closed the door from the outside.
Yang Yue looked high-spirited and in a good mood.
"The eldest brother was summoned to the palace this morning, and Gao Qiao was also present. What do you think the second saint summoned them to do?"
"I can't guess," Yang Ming said, "Don't be so pretentious, just tell me."
Yang Yue chuckled: "With Liu Chang's death, the post of General Zuo Wuwei has become vacant. Who do you think the Second Saint wants to take over?"
General Zuo Wuwei has great power and is mainly responsible for the garrison around Kyoto. He has nine Zhechong mansions and hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
At the beginning of the founding of the emperor, Yang Guang served concurrently. It was not until Yang Guang went to Jiangnan that Liu Chang became the general of Zuowuwei through his relationship with Yang Jian. After all, the third generation of the old Yang family was not yet an adult at that time.
At that time, Yang Jian still trusted Liu Chang very much.
But now, there is already a suitable candidate among the Yang family clan.
Of course Yang Ming guessed who it was, but there was no need for him to say it.
"Su Wei has returned to Beijing now, maybe the Second Saint will let him take up the post as well," Yang Ming said pretending to be stupid.
Yang Yue smiled and shook his head: "No, guess again, I think your mind should be able to guess it."
"It can't be you, right?" Yang Ming joked.
"Who am I?" Yang Yue said with a speechless face, "It's your eldest brother Yang Zhao."
"Ah?" Yang Ming looked shocked: "Brother has just turned sixteen this year?"
"Sixteen is not too young. King Jin was also fifteen years old when he served as General Zuo Wuwei, but..." Yang Yue smiled slyly:
"When this matter was brought up by the Second Sage, that idiot Gao Jiong actually objected, saying that among the princes of the East Palace, there are also adults among whom the position of general can be chosen."
"Then what? Seeing that you are so happy, Gao Jiong must have been scolded, right?" Yang Ming said with a smile.
"Haha... The one who knows me is the King of Hedong..." Yang Yue laughed and said: "More than just being scolded, the Holy Queen is still angry and directly picked up an inkstone and threw it at Gao Jiong. On the body, it’s a pity that it didn’t hit the head.”
"Look at how you are gloating about your misfortune, be careful one day that square inkstone hits your head," Yang Ming joked.
"Just smash it, the Holy Queen hit me as a favor," Yang Yue laughed and said, "Gao Jiong is also confused in his old age. He knows that the Holy Queen doesn't like those bastards in the East Palace, but he still wants to stand up for them."
Is not this nonsensical? Yang Ming thought to himself, among the concubines in the East Palace, there are some relatives and grandchildren, not to mention that Yang Yong has a daughter, isn't she also married to his son Gao Biaoren?
This is a close relationship, how could he not speak for Yang Yong?
As for Yang Zhao being appointed as Zuowuwei General, Yang Ming was not surprised at all. He would be surprised if it were anyone else.
He is the eldest grandson, and he is not comparable to Yang Ming, Yang Jian, or Changning King Yang Yan.
The eldest Yang Zhao was born in the fourth year of Kaihuang, the second child Yang Jian was born in the fifth year of Kaihuang, the eldest daughter Yang Chan was born in the seventh year of Kaihuang, and the third child Yang Ming was born in the eighth year of Kaihuang.
Did you see that Concubine Xiao did not have confinement in the sixth year of the emperor's reign out of the five years?
This is similar to the situation of Dugu Jialuo. Among the ten children of Queen Dugu, except for the eldest daughter Yang Lihua and the eldest son Yang Yong, the rest basically give birth to one every two years.
During the next conversation with Yang Yue, Yang Ming learned that King Qin Yang Jun was dying.
As to what exactly happened to Yang Jun, the old boy hesitated and refused to tell the truth.
If you don't want to say it, don't say it. It's not that I don't know.
As for Qi Hui's matter, Yang Yue has already sent people to investigate, but this old boy is also very capable.
He asked his men to disguise themselves as craftsmen and go to Louguantai with five thousand taels of silver in the name of renovating the temple.
It seemed that he was trying to make up for the offending incident that day, but in fact he was holding back some bad water.
Yang Yue suddenly lowered his voice and said: "I mentioned Yin Jiang's matter to my eldest brother and got his tacit approval. However, my Yin Jiang is already sixteen years old. If His Highness reaches adulthood, she will be a nineteen-year-old girl by then. Yeah, tsk tsk...that’s not right, that’s not right.”
Yang Ming smiled and said nothing, what happened to Nineteen? Nineteen is the blooming season, and I like nineteen-year-olds.
But he doesn't like Yang Yinjiang because this woman is too calculating.
Yang Yue had been peeking at Yang Ming's reaction. When he saw that the other party was silent, he couldn't help but asked cautiously:
"Is there any way, Your Highness... to cancel the Dugu family's marriage?"
"How dare you think about it!" Yang Ming was stunned and said directly: "If I dare to break off the engagement, my grandmother will hang me on the Mingde Gate."
Yang Yue quickly waved his hand and said:
"Just say it casually...just say it casually...if I didn't say it..."
