Yang Ming has not stayed at Yang Yinjiang's place for many days. There are really too many people there.
Nowadays, when Yang Yinjiang goes to bed every night, she will be accompanied by four maids to deal with emergencies.
After Yang Ming sent Yang Zhao out of the house, he came to find Yang Yinjiang. After rejecting the two maids, he came to sit down in front of the couch, held her hand and said:
"How are you feeling lately?"
Yang Yinjiang stood up with a tired look on her face and said with a smile: "It's getting better now. The imperial doctor sent by the palace said that my fetal condition is now stable and I can go out for a walk appropriately and move around more. It's good for the baby."
Yang Ming nodded: "Is sister-in-law here today?"
"Yes," Yang Yinjiang said with a happy face, "My sister-in-law went back to rest in the evening. I heard that my eldest brother is here?"
Yang Ming hummed and said, "Brother asked me to find a way to send my sister-in-law away. What do you think? How do you find out?"
Yang Yinjiang Bingxue is smart. During this period of time when she was getting along with Princess Cui Heng of Jin, she kept making insinuations and inquiring about the situation.
Cui Heng is a typical girl from an aristocratic family. She has no scheming ideas, so it is easy for Yang Yinjiang to trick her out of some information.
"There is no love between my sister-in-law and my eldest brother. For so many years, they have lived together more like a couple. They are called husband and wife, but in fact they are very strangers."
Yang Ming nodded. Not all well-matched couples can bring about a happy marriage. Not Yang Yong and Yuan Zhen, nor Yang Zhao and Cui Heng.
Women from aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty were basically victims of marriage. They had no right to pursue their own happiness and had no control over their own decisions in life-long affairs.
It would be a blessing if you could meet a loving partner, but if you couldn't, it would be a tragedy in the world.
Of course, such tragedies abound. This is the fate of women in the feudal era.
The real misfortune of Princess Cui Heng of Jin is yet to come. If Yang Zhao decides to depose the concubine, she will have almost no other choice for the rest of her life besides becoming a monk.
The water thrown out by the married daughter. Once Cui Heng is deposed, her natal family, the Boling Cui family, will no longer accept her. The world is so big that the only place for her to live is in front of the Buddha.
"Sister-in-law is a kind person. I rarely like a woman like this. If possible, you have to help sister-in-law," Yang Yinjiang said softly.
Yang Ming sighed: "It's not easy to interfere. After all, it's my eldest brother's own family matter. Now, for the sake of Cui Hongsheng, I have temporarily suppressed my eldest brother's thoughts. When the big thing is decided, my eldest sister-in-law will definitely be kicked out."
[In view of the general environment, Yang Yinjiang buried her head in Yang Ming's arms with a dark face and whispered:
"I'm very scared. I'm afraid that one day in the future, you will kick me out. At that time, I really just want to die."
Yang Ming patted her back and comforted her: "No..."
...
Jinyang Tower, Yang Ming and Yang Gongren made an appointment to meet here.
Since Yang Ming returned to Beijing, the latter has been looking for opportunities to express his gratitude. What should he be grateful for? Xie Yangming helped settle his brother-in-law Yan Baoshou.
Yang Gongren is only thirty-seven years old this year. At such a young age, he is already the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is thanks to his father, Wang Yangxiong of Guangping. ….
In fact, Yang Xiong's title has been changed to King Ande, but everyone is still accustomed to calling him King Guangping, because Yang Xiong has left the court and been idle at home since he changed his title.
This branch of their family was very popular in both the Sui and Tang Dynasties, especially during the Wu and Zhou Dynasties.
Wu Zetian had to call Yang Gongren uncle.
Because they belong to the clan, Yang Xiong's sons have been arranged early. His two brothers, Yang Da and Yang Shigui, are also doing well. One is the Minister of Huangmen, and the other is the Duke of Han. Prominent people.
"Thanks to His Highness for taking him in. Otherwise, I really don't know how to settle my brother-in-law," Yang Gongren took the initiative to pour wine for Yang Ming.
The officialdom of the Sui Dynasty paid special attention to human relations and sophistication. In their free time, everyone basically did one thing: socializing.
The wider the network of people, the more
It's easy to get things done, but in many cases, power is not as important as connections.
This is why the boss, Yang Zhao, socializes almost every night and spends all day in the social scene, to the point of ruining his health.
"It's just a small effort, why bother saying thank you?" Yang Ming raised his glass and offered a toast.
Although the two are members of the same family, they are still a little far apart, so there is no intra-clan title for each other. In terms of seniority, Yang Ming is one generation higher than Yang Gongren.
After a few drinks, Yang Gongren said: "I have paid special attention to it. If the officials here are still holding on to Murong Sanzang, I will say hello to you first."
Yang Ming nodded and said, "Wei Shangshu didn't say hello?"
"No," Yang Gongren said, "Wei Shangshu and Liu Gong didn't deal with each other. They don't talk to each other now."
Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh and said, "I really don't know what Liu Shu is thinking. What's the benefit to him if he offends so many people all at once?"
"He thinks too highly of himself," Yang Gongren was from the clan, so he didn't take Liu Shu seriously because he didn't have the ability to bring him down.
People are like this. Anyone who threatens them will be in awe of that person.
"He is just the official minister, but he treats himself as a servant and discusses matters with Su Gong. He is actually an equal, which is despicable."
Su Wei's prestige in the court is very high. After all, he was one of the elders of the Central Committee in the early years of the founding of the emperor. Now twenty years later, he is still in power in the Central Committee, so he is naturally highly respected.
On the other hand, Liu Shu borrowed more of his wife Yang Awu's power.
In the Great Sui Dynasty, there were actually only three people who could truly be said to be able to control hundreds of officials, namely Gao Jun, Yang Su, and Su Wei.
Other than that, no one else is very qualified.
Now Liu Shu thought that he could replace Yang Su, but in fact he was just dreaming. Yang Su's prestige could only be matched by Gao Jiong.
Yang Ming said: "I have been transferred out of Jingzhou. If there are new personnel appointments in the Jingzhou area, I would like to inform you in advance."
Yang Gongren nodded: "It's a small matter. At present, there is no movement for the time being. Everyone knows that Jingzhou was once the jurisdiction of His Highness, so no one will be arranged there in the short term."
This again involves human nature.
Although Yang Ming has left Jingzhou, he has been promoted, so everyone has to give face. Even if the major sects want to arrange people there, they will not take Jingzhou's idea for the time being. Even if they do, they will contact Yang Ming in advance. say hi. ….
Yang Ming will definitely keep a close eye on Jingzhou's personnel affairs, especially the Xiangyang navy, which he developed by himself and will not allow anyone to interfere.
"This Jinyang Tower is my property," Yang Ming suddenly smiled.
Yang Gongren laughed and said, "I've heard about it for a long time."
"So, Minister Yang, don't bring any money when you come here from now on," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Yang Gongren smiled and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
The restaurant doesn't cost much, not to mention that central officials like Yang Gongren rarely come to this kind of place. Yang Ming said this just to show his attitude and to get close.
Yang Gongren naturally also received Yang Ming's intention, and he was very happy to have a good relationship with Yang Ming.
Because now everyone knows that Yang Ming will enter the center of the Great Sui Dynasty as a new rich man, and the Great Sui Dynasty Court will inevitably show a new look because of Yang Ming's arrival.
After seeing Yang Gongren off, Yang Ming wandered around Jinyang Tower.
This industry that he valued at the time has become irrelevant now. Apart from collecting some gossip, the income is almost negligible.
As a local acquaintance, Yu Wenlan has already placed seven goddess-level oirans in Jinyang Tower. These women have almost taken away the souls of those noble disciples.
The most famous among them is Li Baiyao, the son of the former Imperial Order Li Delin.
This boy's father was a great scholar, a top scholar, and he himself was also a famous talent in the Sui Dynasty.
There is no need to mention his talent, but he is too lustful. Not only did he climb over the wall and abduct Yang Su, a beautiful concubine, but he also often flirts with women outside.
this person
He is two years older than Yang Gongren, he is thirty-nine, and he is still in love with his daughter.
It's strange that talents are always associated with romance, and Li Baiyao is the most romantic talent in Daxing City.
I heard from Yu Wenlan that Li Baiyao wanted to keep a goddess in Jinyang Tower, but Yu Wenlan disagreed.
First of all, Li Baiyao's price was not high, he spent all his money on women, and his family property was running low, so he couldn't come up with a price that satisfied Yu Wenlan.
Secondly, Yu Wenlan thought that this boy was too unsentimental and would throw him away after playing with him, which was not a good destination for a woman.
There is a reason why Yu Wenlan can gain the absolute trust of these goddesses, because he has always been thinking about the goddesses themselves, and he treats the goddesses as human beings.
Goddess is the highest-level female, belonging to a lowly family, and most of them come from the old Qi and old Chen courts.
For those who don't have Old Liang, Old Liang is protected by Crown Princess Xiao. In recent years, many descendants of the guilty ministers of Old Liang have been properly resettled by Princess Xiao.
As the saying goes, ordinary people cannot have beautiful women in their homes.
Since she can become a goddess, it means that she once had a good background. This kind of woman is most attractive to men, because they couldn't get it before, but now they only need to spend money.
In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.
At the moment, Li Baiyao is in Jinyang Tower, and Yang Ming is also idle, planning to go and meet this great talent who has left a name in history.
Li Baiyao once served as the prince's heir to the deposed prince Yang Yong, but was later eliminated. Historically, he also served as the right concubine of the prince to Li Chengqian, which was equivalent to assisting the two princes on the left, which was a little worse than Li Gang.
The Book of Northern Qi, one of the most famous twenty-four histories in Chinese history, was written by Li Baiyao based on the old manuscript of his father Li Delin.
The "Old Book of Tang", one of the Twenty-Four Histories, also contains a separate biography of this boy.
Entering the side room, Yang Ming saw this unshaven gentleman. He looked very ordinary and had nothing to do with handsomeness. However, Yang Ming had heard that this boy was particularly attractive to women.
On what? By talent?
No, talent is not popular in the Sui Dynasty.
It's all about his sharp tongue.
"Hiss..." Seeing the stranger who suddenly entered the wing, Li Baiyao took a breath and exclaimed: "Who is this kind brother? How can he be so expensive?"
These words make people feel comfortable.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "I have heard about my dear friend for a long time, so I came here to pay my respects."
