Prince Jin's Mansion, Qingshan House.
The three brothers of the Yang family should be completely separated at present.
Daxing Jin Palace is the home of Yang Zhao, Hedong County Palace is the home of Yang Ming, and Yuzhang County Palace is the home of Yang Jian.
Of course, these are only temporary and will definitely change in the future.
For example, after Yang Guang succeeds to the throne, Yang Zhao will definitely be the prince and will enter the East Palace. The second son Yang Jian will usurp the title of King Jin, and then the palace of King Jin will belong to Yang Jian again.
Fixed assets like Prince Jin's Mansion, located in a prime location in the capital, belong to whomever's turn it is. None of the three brothers will rob them. Everyone has a fief, and they don't care about the money.
And Yang Ming will also become a prince. As for what kind of king, I definitely don’t know now.
Prince, also called king, most of the titles come from the titles of vassal states during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and a few come from other titles.
The larger the country's title, the higher the prince's status.
Among them, the four titles of King of Jin, King of Qin, King of Qi, and King of Chu are the most noble, followed by the titles of Zhou, Lu, Zhao, Shu, Wei, Liang, Yan, Dai, Han, Song, Wu, and Yue.
King Yang Liang of Han is quite special. This title was first seen in Han King Liu Bang. There have been a total of 28 kings of Han in Chinese history.
It is basically certain that Yang Ming's future title will be chosen from Qin, Qi, and Chu. King Qin is the most likely.
At present, the eldest brother Yang Zhao still retains the Qingshan House for Yang Ming. As the eldest brother, he will definitely not let his two younger brothers have no place to live after they return to Beijing.
The relationship between the three brothers is still very harmonious at present. As for what will happen in the future, no one can say for sure.
Anyway, Yang Ming will not fall out with his eldest brother, it will not be good for him.
In the dormitory, Yang Ming saw Yang Yinjiang, who had been waiting for a long time. The latter looked strange. After seeing Yang Ming, he glanced at the two maids beside him.
Yang Ming waved his hand and asked the maid to exit, then sat down and said:
"Is there anything you want to say?"
Yang Yinjiang suddenly came to kneel down in front of Yang Ming, hugged Yang Ming's knees, rested her head on his thigh, and whispered:
"Something happened to Dugu Feng'er."
Yang Ming said: "I know this, but what next? What do you want to say?"
Yang Yinjiang suddenly raised her head, looked at Yang Ming blankly, and said, "Give me a chance, okay?"
Yang Ming smiled, stretched out his fingers to lift her chin, and said:
"Who told you what? It was Yang Yue, right?"
Yang Yinjiang nodded and said with tears in her eyes: "My uncle hopes that I can become your concubine. He told me that I can't lose because the future of the Yang family is entrusted to me."
"He's trying to scare you," Yang Ming raised his hand to wipe her tears and said with a smile, "The future of the Hongnong Yang family will not rest on a weak woman like you. You don't have such great ability. He is so I said, I’m just putting pressure on you.”
"No," Yang Yinjiang choked and shook her head: "For the long-term plan, if I cannot become your concubine, my father will not be taken seriously in the court until a hundred years after my grandfather's death."
He will take it seriously, because he is stupid enough, and Yang Guang will give the Yang family some face in the future. After all, Yang Su made great efforts to bring down Yang Yong.
But your father will be a rebel in the future...
If you are the official concubine, if the future develops according to the historical trend and your father rebels, I will also be implicated, and you will not have an easy time.
Among Yang and Pei, there is no doubt that Yang Ming has always valued Yang Yinjiang the most, but he cannot let the love between his children affect him.
This is not selfish, Yang Ming also has a heavy burden.
Yang Ming raised his hand and stroked the other person's cheek, and said calmly: "I don't have the final say on who will be the princess. Since ancient times, marriages have been ordered by our parents. We can only let nature take its course."
Yang Yinjiang was stunned. After a moment of silence, she slowly stood up and backed away, looking at Yang Ming in disbelief.
She thought she still understood him, but Yang Ming's last words were obviously perfunctory to her.
You can find a way to bring Pei Xuanji and Yang Chan together, why can't you do it for yourself?
Do you want to think of a solution for your own affairs?
Yang Yinjiang suddenly realized that Yang Ming's candidate for the princess was probably not her.
Why? How long has Pei Shuying known him? Just because her father is Pei Ju and my father is Yang Xuangan?
Yang Yinjiang's body trembled slightly, she looked at Yang Ming as if she were a stranger, and cried:
"I've already lost, right?"
Yang Ming stood up and came to her, and said in a deep voice: "Don't always listen to Yang Yue. There are some things you can listen to. There are some things you still have to make your own decisions. Stop thinking about it and go back."
Yang Yinjiang smiled miserably, closed her eyes slightly, and two strings of tears fell down her cheeks:
"I see."
After saying that, she turned around and left with a sad look on her face.
Yang Ming returned to his seat, sat down, and sighed.
It is indeed difficult. He is not being pretentious. With his status, the position of the concubine really needs to be weighed repeatedly.
Since ancient times, weddings and funerals have been the top priority in life, especially in the current situation during the Sui Dynasty.
When he was at Yang Chan's place in the afternoon, Yang Ming heard about it. He was now a hot commodity, and many powerful people were already eyeing him.
In fact, what they value is not Yang Ming himself, but they want to use him as a springboard to attract Yang Guang's attention or get close to Yang Guang.
If a woman from the family becomes the Princess of Hedong, then the family and Prince Yang Guang will be related by marriage.
With this advantage, more people in the clan will be able to become officials, and even have the opportunity to enter the center. At that time, they will find ways to dissolve the marriage relationship with Yang Ming, because Yang Ming will only be a prince in the future, not a prince.
After such families gain power with the help of Yang Ming, they will set their sights on Yang Zhao, or to be precise, Yang Zhao's children.
This is a long-term investment. There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests.
Yang Su was like this, and so was Pei Ju, and Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying were just victims used by Hongnong Yang and Hedong Pei to gain benefits.
In the Sui Dynasty, women from big families had only one mission since they were born, and that was to marry.
Yang Ming, who knows this, will also choose the one that suits him best from the perspective of his own actual interests.
The next day, Yang Ming and Yang Zhao went to Mingdemen to welcome the second son back to Beijing.
Yang Jian came back. He didn't know what happened in Daxing. He happily pulled his two brothers and said that he had brought them some Jiangnan girls from Yangzhou. Yang Ming happened to be almost an adult and could enjoy them.
Fortunately, the boss Yang Zhao corrected him in time and told him about his grandmother, so that this kid would not continue to be cheerful after entering the city, which would be disrespectful.
After Yang Jian learned of the situation, he instantly became honest and followed Yang Zhao into the city obediently.
Among the three brothers, Yang Ming and Dugu Jialuo had the deepest relationship, followed by Yang Zhao. Both of them were raised by Empress Dugu personally.
The second eldest child, Yang Jian, is not that good. He does not have a deep relationship with Queen Dugu. He grew up in Jiangdu during his childhood and is closest to his mother, the concubine Xiao.
Yong'an Palace, in the past two days, Dugu Jialuo's physical condition has been very good. He takes a walk in the imperial city every day, followed by the direct descendants of the old Yang family, who are also the most powerful group of people in the Sui Dynasty.
She was actually a little unhappy when she saw Yang Xian coming back.
It's not because of Yang Jian's problem, but because her children and grandchildren have returned to Beijing. Are she afraid that she will die soon?
I was in a good mood, but my mood suddenly changed, and I returned to Yong'an Palace in anger.
Now it's better, Yang Jian was scared a lot, because the old Yang family is quite superstitious, Dugu Jialuo was happy to see everyone, but Yang Jian changed his face when he saw it, so everyone agreed that Yang Jian was targeting Empress Dugu. or brought in something unclean.
So Yang Guang hurriedly asked his second son to leave the palace to avoid bringing bad luck to his mother.
He also asked Taoist Zhao Zhao to follow Yang Xian back to the Jin Palace to set up a dojo and remove all unclean things from Yang Xian's body.
In this way, in less than half an hour, Yang Jian left the palace, and it was very likely that he
He will not be allowed into the palace again.
As a result, Dugu Jialuo's condition worsened that night, and the entire palace was in chaos.
Since there is no cure, one must turn to metaphysics for help.
As a result, Master Zhaoxuantong Lingzang and the great Taoist master Yanda Zhenren entered the palace according to the order and set up a grand ceremony in the square outside Yong'an Palace.
As soon as Master Yanda came, he directly pointed out those whose birth dates contained Jiazi, Jiaxu, Guiyou, Renshen, Xinwei, Gengwu, etc., and left the palace immediately.
Unfortunately, Yang Ming took Jiazi with him, so he had no choice but to leave.
There were as many as 1,500 people leaving the imperial city with him, including clan members, officials, maids and eunuchs.
The two young ministers of Dali Temple, Zhao Chuo and Yang Yue, were all recruited.
On the way out of the palace, Yang Ming heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he saw that it was Yang Yue, an old thief.
The latter caught up with Yang Ming, panting all the way, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, can you honor me..."
"No reward," Yang Ming flatly refused before the other party finished speaking.
After what happened to Yang Yinjiang that night, he now gets angry whenever he sees this old boy. Don't instigate her behind her back.
Yang Yue was thick-skinned and didn't take it seriously. He followed Yang Ming's sedan every step of the way.
In the imperial city, only a few top elders could ride in a sedan chair, except for the direct descendants of the clan.
Yang Yue is neither a top player nor a big boss, so he can only walk.
"Your Highness must have misunderstood you," Yang Yue said with a smile, "Did someone slander Yang in front of Your Highness?"
Come on, you're the only one still slandering me? Yang Ming said calmly: "Is there something wrong with Yang Shaoqing?"
"It's really something," Yang Yue said with a serious face: "What did your Majesty do to make His Highness so unfamiliar?"
Yang Ming suddenly raised his hand and stopped the sedan chair. After sending away the servants, Yang Ming walked out of the palace, with Yang Yue obediently trailing half a body behind him.
"What happened to Dugu Feng'er, was it you who did it?"
"Why did Your Highness taint me?" Yang Yue was shocked: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I swear by my ancestors, so you can't say this nonsense."
Yang Ming originally doubted him, but this old boy swore on his ancestors, so maybe it really wasn't him.
The most important oath for a powerful noble clan is not to make a thunder crack from the sky. A thunder crack from the sky will only kill you. Ordinary people would not swear like this by swearing on their ancestors to harm the whole clan.
If it wasn’t Yang Yue, who could it be? Anyway, Yang Ming wouldn't believe that Dugu Feng'er was fine like this.
After all, she is his legitimate princess in name, and something can happen to her. If one day she suddenly becomes a stumbling block for someone, will something happen to her too?
Yang Ming said calmly: "I will only talk to you about this topic. If you have something to say, we will talk about it. If not, we will go where you should."
"Yes, yes," Yang Yue said quickly, "Didn't His Highness just suspect that Dugunu was tampered with? Yang can analyze it for Your Highness."
In Yang Yue's view, Yang Ming must be stabilized first. As for what topic will be discussed in the end, it can be completely guided.
And Yang Ming also knew in his heart that as long as he sat down to talk to Yang Yue, he would definitely talk about what Yang Yue wanted to talk about.
And he also wanted to see what this old boy was still planning.
