The next day happened to be the first day of May.
On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, someone from the palace needs to go to Daxingshan Temple to offer incense. This is a rule set by Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo for the descendants of the old Yang family.
The day Yang Yong teased Chen Shuyi was the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month last year.
Yang Guangyuan is in Northern Xinjiang, and Concubine Xiao has gone to Renshou Palace, so Yang Ming and his three brothers must go to Daxingshan Temple today.
Prince Yang Yong will definitely not be able to go because the East Palace is too busy now, but his sons will definitely have to go.
Jingshanfang, where Daxingshan Temple is located, is just above the Ninth Five-Year Plan according to the Feng Shui layout of the Sui Dynasty.
As the so-called "Nine-Five Supreme Being" belongs to the position of "Flying Dragon", it is not suitable for ordinary people to live in.
So Yu Wenkai, the chief architect of Daxing City at that time, built two magnificent temples in two symmetrical east-west squares with Zhuque Street as the central axis to suppress the dragon's energy.
To the west is the Taoist Xuandu Temple, located in Chongyefang.
To the east is the Buddhist Daxingshan Temple, located in Jingshanfang.
The closest and most convenient route to Jingshanfang is undoubtedly Zhuque Street.
This street was regarded as the first street in the world at that time. No street in any country could compare with it.
Zhuque Street starts from Mingde Gate in the south and ends at the Imperial City Zhuque Gate in the north, with a total length of nine kilometers and a width of 150 meters.
Two rows of locust trees were planted on both sides of the street in the early years of Emperor Kai Huang's reign, and now they are like canopies.
Under the locust tree, there is also a gathering place for vendors. To be able to set up a stall on Zhuque Street, there must be someone there. You can't set up a stall without one.
Yang Zhao always takes this route every time he comes to Beijing, so he has a good impression of the shops on both sides of the street.
In the carriage, Yang Zhao introduced Yang Ming and the others with great interest:
"Both the shops and residences on both sides of Zhuque Street are large houses with generous regulations. Those among them are extremely gorgeous and majestic, and the interior decoration of the shops is all ingenious. They belong to the property of a high-ranking family. There is no one like this kind of shop. You can’t even buy it if you’re willing to part with it.”
Hearing this, Yang Ming joked: "If you put it this way, Yu Wenkai's threshold must have been crossed by others back then."
"If you can design this great city in the world, what's the harm in making some money?" Yang Zhao said with a smile:
"Besides, he can't decide on good land. When Daxing was just built, in addition to the clan and officials' homesteads being allocated by themselves, the land prices in other tracts were also different. Among them, the land price on the Zhuque Street line was very high. Highest."
As he spoke, Yang Zhao pointed to a decent shop outside the carriage and said:
"For example, this shop has a shop facing the street and a house behind it. It should be a large house with six floors of courtyards. But this house land needs at least 20,000 guan. This is still the early years of the founding of the emperor."
"What about now?" Yang Jian, the second child, asked curiously.
Yang Zhao shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know now. Generally, no one will take action on a house or shop like this, and will leave it to their descendants, unless there are special circumstances."
Yang Ming can understand this.
In the Sui Dynasty, the property rights of homesteads were permanent, including shops, because shops were also built on other people's homesteads.
In other words, as long as you spend money to buy this land, unless you sell it yourself, or the dynasty changes and the new dynasty refuses to acknowledge it, otherwise, this land will always be yours.
This is why it is always said that war has always been a big shuffle, because it changes what originally belonged to you into someone else's.
Of course, there is another possibility called coercion and inducement.
Just like Yang Ming deliberately scared Fang Xuanling yesterday.
A house was spotted by a wealthy businessman, who paid three times the price to buy it. This is called the temptation of profit.
The same house is attracted by a person with a background. After threatening you, you obediently offer it with both hands. This is called coercion.
Therefore, the shops on both sides of Zhuque Street, after changing owners several times, are now basically in the hands of powerful people.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are at least twenty shops here, which belong to the property of Qin Wang Yang Jun. This prince is also the wealthiest among Yang Jian's five sons.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming suddenly turned his head and asked Yang Zhao in a low voice:
"What's wrong with Third Uncle now? Does eldest brother know?"
Yang Zhao pondered for a moment, then raised his hands to hold his two younger brothers in front of his face, and said in the smallest voice:
"Third uncle is poisoned. I heard that he has fainted many times. Now it is difficult to get in. I'm afraid..." After saying that, Yang Zhao paused and said:
"According to the imperial doctor, it has damaged the internal organs and cannot be cured."
really! Yang Laosan will receive his lunch box soon...
Yang Ming pretended to be shocked and said: "Who dares to poison Third Uncle?"
"Isn't it?" Yang Jian also looked incredulous: "Brother, who did you listen to? You don't want to talk about this matter."
"How could I talk nonsense?" Yang Zhao glared at Lao Er with a serious face, and continued to lower his voice:
"My grandparents told me that my third uncle was poisoned by the princess. You two must not spread this scandal."
Yang Ming and Yang Zhen looked at each other and nodded quickly like a rattle.
For the second eldest son, Yang Jian, it was indeed an unimaginable and shocking event. The dignified prince was poisoned by his own princess. After searching through the history books, he could not find the second one.
What is this thing called?
Of course Yang Ming would not be surprised, but what he was thinking about at the moment was, after Yang Jun's death, who would own all the properties in his name?
Normally, it must be passed down from father to son, but Yang Jun's situation is special.
Because according to history, after Yang Jun's death, his concubine Cui, the sister of Cui Hongdu, the Duke of Wuxiang, would be deposed by Yang Jian and sentenced to death.
Princess Cui of Qin is also the aunt of Cui, the concubine of Yang Zhaozheng.
There is a saying in the Sui Dynasty that the mother is valued by the son, and the son is valued by the mother. If the mother commits a crime, the son is guilty of the same crime. Therefore, during the reign of Yang Jian, Yang Hao was deposed as a commoner in history.
It wasn't until his father Yang Guang came to power that Yang Hao took over the title of King of Qin.
Thinking about it now, Yang Ming felt that Yang Hao was quite pitiful. His biological mother poisoned his biological father, and he was demoted to a commoner by his biological grandfather. Later, after Yu Wenhuaji rebelled against the regicide in Jiangdu, he supported Yang Hao as emperor. , but unfortunately not long after, he was poisoned by Yu Wenhuaji.
It seemed that nothing in Yang Hao's life had gone as planned, and he would still be a confused man after death.
Sometimes things are just such a coincidence, Cao Cao will arrive just as he says.
Yang Hao's motorcade also appeared on Zhuque Street, sixty meters behind Yang Ming and the others.
In fact, on the first and fifteenth day of every month, Zhuque Street will be cleaned by Houwei who are responsible for patrolling. The Houwei was called Jinwuwei during the Tang Dynasty.
The so-called street cleaning means cleaning up all the aspects that affect the appearance of the city, because these two days are the days when royal family members go to Daxingshan Temple to offer incense.
Of course, those who set up street stalls do not count.
In Daxing, street vendors do not affect the appearance of the city.
As if they had discovered Yang Ming's convoy, the Qin Prince's car behind them suddenly accelerated towards the front, and pedestrians on the street gave way.
When the two carriages were driving side by side, Yang Hao opened the curtain and shouted in this direction:
"Brother Shiming (Yang Zhao's nickname), can you be in the car?"
Yang Zhao opened the curtain and responded with a smile: "Brother, please get in the car and talk."
"That's how it should be," Yang Hao agreed.
Then, the two convoys reined in their horses at the same time. After Yang Hao changed trains, he ordered his convoy to follow the Jinwangfu convoy.
"It seems like yesterday that I last met my brother. My brother has lost weight."
Yang Hao would never dare to be rude in front of Yang Zhao.
In fact, even the eldest son of the crown prince, Prince Yang Yan of Changning, was very uncomfortable in front of Yang Zhao.
Looking at the third generation of the old Yang family, Henan Wang Yang Zhao is the only one.
Yang Hao also greeted Yang Ming and Yang Ming: "Brother Zhen, brother Ming, we say goodbye after the spring outing, and we meet again."
Yang Ming also hurriedly said: "We have been apart for three days, and my brother has lost weight."
"Alas...it's hard to put it into words..." Yang Hao looked dejected and let out a long sigh.
Seeing this, Yang Ming quickly changed the subject: "Where is Yang Zhan? Didn't he come?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ming felt his second-in-command, Yang Jian, pinch him secretly.
Only then did Yang Ming realize that Yang Zhan was a concubine...
