Yang Ming can now go home and wait for the news with peace of mind.
Originally, he wanted to report to his father Yang Guang first, but he was not there and he went to who knows where.
As soon as I returned home, I heard that Yang Jian's future father-in-law, Wei Chong, had returned to Beijing and was taking up a post in the Ministry of Civil Affairs where he had gone yesterday.
After the wedding, Yang Xian would take his wife Wei Shi and return to the fiefdom of Yuzhang County.
So these days, Yang Jian has been taken by Concubine Xiao, and she has to follow her wherever she goes. It's normal for her to be reluctant to leave her son.
After the housekeeper Chu Ji knew that Yang Ming was back, he hurriedly came to find him:
"Sanlang, please don't run out any more these days. The princess talks about you every day during meals. You must go to the princess to pay her respects tonight."
"Okay, I got it," Yang Ming agreed.
I have been busy enough these days, my butt hurts from riding in a carriage, and Yang Xian is about to leave Beijing, so I really shouldn't run around anymore.
So after he simply washed up, he went to find his mother and concubine to pay her respects.
Concubine Xiao originally thought that with all three sons here tonight, she could finally have a reunion dinner, but Yang Ming came back and the eldest son, Yang Zhao, disappeared again.
"Alas..." Concubine Xiao sighed quietly, looked at the two sons and one daughter in front of her, and frowned: "Does any of you know where Zhao'er went? Why did he leave without saying hello? All of them. Learn from Ming'er."
After saying that, she glared at Yang Ming with a resentful look.
How come you learned it from me? I was just doing business, and my eldest brother was probably out wandering around.
Of course Yang Ming would not refute, he just smiled and lowered his head to eat.
"I don't know, kid," Yang Jian replied without raising his head, and followed suit.
On the contrary, Yang Chan thought hard for a while, frowned and said: "The eldest brother heard from Yu Zan in the afternoon that Jizhou Governor Zhao Xuan passed away just two days after returning to Beijing. Then the eldest brother went out without saying anything. Maybe it was for Is this the case?"
Zhao Xuan died? Haven't heard of it at all? Yang Ming raised his head and looked at Yang Chan curiously.
Concubine Xiao also wondered: "What does Zhao Xuan's death have to do with your eldest brother? Zhao'er didn't know him?"
"Then I don't know," Yang Chan stuck out her tongue.
Yang Ming looked at his mother and concubine strangely: "Zhao Xuan is fine, what are you doing back in Beijing?"
Concubine Xiao knew about the news of Zhao Xuan'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 fourth rank or above passed away, people from the Ministry of Rites would notify the prince's palace, and someone from the prince's palace would send condolences.
This is a matter of etiquette, and it is also the royal family's respect and recognition of officials above the fourth rank.
There is no such treatment for those below the fourth rank. Of course, there are exceptions, such as if you have a particularly good background.
For example, if Li Yuan dies now, even if Yang Guang can't go there himself, the palace will have to send someone to go. Firstly, they are relatives, and secondly, Li Yuan is a future star who was specially cultivated by Yang Jian.
Regarding Yang Ming's question, Concubine Xiao patiently answered:
"It is said that Zhao Xuan returned to Beijing to report on his work. Your grandfather was concerned about his poor health and wanted to let him return to Daxing to rest. However, he could not endure the hard journey and passed away a few days after returning."
"Oh...that's it,"
Yang Ming didn't think much about it. Maybe the boss Yang Zhao went to the banquet as the prince of Jin Dynasty.
After dinner, Concubine Xiao took a few children and refused to let them go. She had to chat about some household chores, and also told Yang Xian to write letters to her family from time to time after she returned to the fief. As she spoke, Concubine Xiao cried again.
It seems that she is a sentimental person.
It is the mother who coaxes the children, but Concubine Xiao has the reverse situation, the children have to coax the mother.
At this time, the palace steward Chu Ji hurried in from outside:
"Mother, something happened. Something happened. Zhao Xuan's residence is surrounded by the imperial army. I heard that Da Lang is in Zhao's residence at the moment."
"What?" Concubine Xiao was shocked: "Prepare the car immediately."
Yang Ming was also confused. What's going on? Why is it that just after Zhao Yuren died, his mansion was surrounded?
He didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly followed Concubine Xiao out.
"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. The guards guarding the outside honestly made way for Yang Laoer and his family.
As soon as she entered the house, Concubine Xiao was stunned by the scene in front of her.
I saw a crowd of people kneeling down in the front yard of the mansion in darkness. These people were all dressed in mourning clothes, crying and kneeling in front of Yang Zhao, as if begging for mercy.
Concubine Xiao was relieved immediately, "It's okay, it's okay, my son is fine."
The crowd that originally came to express condolences were kicked out by the guards and hid in the street to watch the excitement.
The cavalry general Qu Tutong saw Princess Jin and came over to pay her respects.
Concubine Xiao was stunned: "What's going on?"
Qu Tutong replied: "Princess, Zhao Yichen, the youngest son of Zhao Yu, has committed the crime of disrespect, and the last general has come to arrest him."
"How disrespectful?" Concubine Xiao glanced around the yard and said, "Is it disrespectful to my son?"
"It is His Royal Highness the King of Henan," Qutu said.
Concubine Xiao was furious: "Then what are you waiting for? Take it away immediately."
Qu Tutong looked confused: "The prince has gone to the Second Saint to plead for mercy. King Changning is inside right now. He has taken Zhao Yichen to the backyard, saying that he wants to wait for news from His Highness the prince. The general will not be able to take it."
"Asshole! Lead the way!"
Concubine Xiao cursed loudly, ordered Qu Tutong to lead the way, and rushed directly to the backyard.
Tian Demao, who was preparing for Qianniu in the East Palace, was also unlucky. Yang Ming did not follow Concubine Xiao to rush in this time, but went to find Yang Zhao. So of course he did not know Princess Jin who had been staying in Jiangdu all year round, so he directly blocked the backyard passage. He let him pass and didn't see the wink Qu Tutong gave him.
But Qu Tutong is also quite shady. What kind of look are you making? Can your tongue flash when you say something?
A slap in the face,
After Tian Demao received a slap, he stepped out almost out of instinct. He was wearing a guard's golden armor, and his status as a Qianniu guard was obvious. Anyone who dared to slap him would dare to kill him.
The next step is simple. As long as he enters the backyard, Qu Tutong can just take people. Changning Wang Yang Yan saw the tigress in front of him who dared to beat his own mother. He didn't even dare to let out a fart and watched helplessly. Zhao Yichen was dragged away by the 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 the whole thing.
It turned out that there were a lot of people coming to express condolences in the Zhao Mansion today. Yang Zhao was squeezed in the crowd and was knocked down by Zhao Yichen, who also accidentally stepped on Yang Zhao.
This matter was immediately reported to Yang Jian by a guy named Chen Xian from the Yushitai.
Yang Jian suddenly felt that he couldn't keep it in his face. Well, people named Zhao dare to step on people named Yang? Only then did he order Qu Tutong to take the people.
This is the feudal era. Whether saying sorry to someone you bumped into or not is useless depends on who you bumped into.
Whether you are guilty of stepping on others depends on who you stepped on.
According to Yang Ming's guess, Zhao Yichen would have to break his leg at least this time, because Yang Jian would not allow anyone who stepped on the legs of 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 Decree, don't enter the palace, just chop it up outside the imperial city."
"It's wrong, it's wrong, 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 the Suzaku Gate.
Without any hesitation, Qu Tutong directly dragged Zhao Yichen to a corner of the imperial city.
One hand raised the knife and dropped it, and the world became quiet.
If you want to kill someone, don't give him a chance to speak out. As long as you give him a chance to speak out, the person will generally not kill.
It's up to me whether he is unjust or not when he kills someone.
This was the style of work of Yang Jian, the supreme emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
