Yang Ming did not dare to forget Yang Lihua's request. One day at the end of August, after attending the court meeting, he asked to see the emperor.
Yes, even though he is the emperor's biological son, he still has to go through the process if he wants to see his parents.
After the chamberlain Gao Ye entered the Liangyi Hall to report, Yang Ming was led in with Yang Guang's consent.
Later, Gao Ye brought a stool to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming can still sit on this stool now. After all, his father has just become the emperor, and the relationship between father and son still values the family relationship. As for whether he can sit in the Liangyi Hall in the future, it is uncertain.
Yang Guang is currently a diligent king. After the court meeting, he stayed in Liangyi Palace to handle government affairs throughout the day. As for where he was at night, Yang Ming didn't know.
"Is there something wrong with me?" Yang Guang asked without raising his head.
Yang Ming quickly stood up and said, "My aunt has something to entrust to the child, but the child is a little hard to talk about."
He has always known that he should not lie in front of Yang Guang, because as long as he is exposed once, Yang Guang will never believe him again.
Yang Guang couldn't help but raise his head and smile: "Since you're here, don't you just want to tell me? Why is it so hard to tell? Do you need to be so careful in front of me?"
Yang Ming pretended to smile stupidly and said, "I'm afraid that my grandpa will blame me."
"Tell me, if I don't tell the truth, I will really blame you," Yang Guang looked at Yang Ming calmly.
Yang Ming said: "My aunt misses the love between siblings and wants to meet my uncle and fourth uncle."
In fact, Yang Guang had already guessed it from the beginning, because the eldest sister had mentioned it to him many times before, but he had always been hesitant.
From an ethical point of view, it is understandable that the elder sister wants to see her younger brother. However, from a national affairs point of view, he is afraid that after the elder sister meets Yang Yong, she will have some plot and even pose a threat to him.
As for the fourth child, Yang Xiu, it doesn't matter, just see him when he sees him.
This matter must eventually come to an end, otherwise with the temperament of the eldest sister, if he keeps perfunctory, she may come to make trouble in front of him.
After Yang Guang was silent for a while, he said: "I can agree, but there is a condition. You must accompany her. If she agrees, I will allow them to meet."
Are you asking me to monitor you? I understand. Yang Ming nodded quickly and said, "My child knows what to do and will never leave."
This insistence is the finishing touch, which means that Yang Ming will not allow Yang Lihua to find a way to separate himself and have a private conversation with Yang Yong.
Yang Guang smiled happily and said, "You seem to think your aunt will agree?"
Yang Ming nodded and said, "My father has already given in. My eldest aunt has no reason to refuse."
"Very good," Yang Guang returned his gaze to the table and did not continue speaking.
Yang Ming knew that it was time to leave.
At the Princess's Mansion, Yang Lihua was very satisfied with the result.
It didn't matter to her that she brought Yang Ming with her, and she could tell everyone everything. When she saw Yang Yong, she just wanted to see her brother, without any plans.
Among the four younger brothers, she has the deepest relationship with Yang Yong, but she is aware of the general situation and knows that it is not appropriate for any more turmoil to occur in the Sui Dynasty at present, let alone for anyone to challenge Yang Guang's position.
"I'll clean it up. Send someone to let me know after your court meeting tomorrow," Yang Lihua said happily, "You did a good job and didn't disappoint my aunt."….
Yang Ming smiled and said: "My aunt's business is my nephew's business, so I must do my best."
After leaving Yang Lihua's house, Yang Ming wanted to go to Yang Gongren's house before noon.
At the end of the court, Yang Gongren specially called Yang Ming and asked him to come to his house for a banquet at noon anyway. He would always greet Yang Ming at the door.
Banquets at noon are generally not interesting, but banquets in the evening are where beauties come to the scene.
Yang Gongren's brothers have separated their families a long time ago, so he does not live with his father Yang Xiong now. Yang Xiong will be named the King of Watchers in the last years of Daye, that is, the last years of his father's reign, so his branch, It was known as Guanwangfang in history.
The concept of "King Guan" is not a national title from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Although he is a one-word king, his status is definitely not good. After all, Yang Xiong is not a direct relative of the old Yang family, so it is impossible for the title to be too big.
When Yang Ming's motorcade entered the alley, Yang Gongren took small steps and trotted towards them.
Very few people can receive such courtesy from Yang Gongren, especially since he has now taken over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel that was vacant after Liu Shu was exiled.
Each of the six ministries is an administrative department with great authority, among which the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Rites are the strongest.
The Ministry of War did not have a high presence in Sui Dynasty, because he could not control any of the twelve generals. Most of the time, he was responsible for the army's logistics support and combat deployment.
The three provinces and six ministries were developed since the Sui Dynasty, so they are still in their infancy, and the functions of each ministry have not yet been perfected, especially when there are two left and right servants suppressing them.
Yang Gongren is only thirty-seven years old this year. The reason why Yang Guang gave him such an important position is that Yang Gongren is a member of the clan and is reliable. Secondly, he and Liu Shu have always been at odds with each other. Furthermore, Yang Gongren was originally the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. , relatively familiar with the business.
After personally welcoming Yang Ming out of the carriage, Yang Gongren said with a smile: "I have been waiting for your highness for a long time. Please come into the house quickly."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "You and I are not outsiders, why are you like this?"
"This is the first time for Your Highness to come to my house. If you neglect me, I'm afraid that Your Highness will not be willing to come again in the future," Yang Gongren said as he walked.
At the banquet, his six younger brothers were also present.
Historically, this branch of their family was also very popular during the Tang Dynasty. Yang Gongren's fourth brother Yang Yan (yao) and sixth brother Yang Shidao both married Li Yuan's daughter.
The daughter of the fifth brother Yang Gongdao is Jieyu from Li Shimin's harem.
Li Yuan had twenty-two sons and nineteen daughters. Except for them, all of them were concubines. These were Li Yuan's political capital. Relying on the marriage of these concubine sons and daughters, Li Yuan successfully attracted the Guanzhong aristocratic group and established the foundation for the Tang Dynasty. The foundation was laid for the establishment of the DPRK.
It was a very common phenomenon to send women as gifts at banquets in the Sui Dynasty, especially banquets between nobles.
This kind of women are basically men's playthings, and most of them just play with them and throw them away, and they can't even make it into concubines.
Yang Gongren used to hold banquets at home and always select some maids to serve the guests.
But today was different. He didn't dare to give Yang Ming a woman.
Neither Yang Yinjiang nor Pei Shuying could be easily provoked by him.
The reason why Yang Ming was invited today was to curry favor, because he knew in his heart that the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was not enough for him based on his qualifications and seniority. If there were no allies in the court to help him, he would not be able to stay in this position for long. ….
As long as the emperor has a suitable candidate in mind, he may be replaced at any time.
And Yang Ming will soon become a prince. Under the prince, Yang Ming has the most authority among the direct family members. It is very necessary to have a good relationship with Yang Ming.
During this period, Yang Ming was made drunk by several Yang Gongren brothers in turn. This was the first time that Yang Ming got drunk until he fell unconscious.
When he was sent back to the palace by Yang Gongren in person, Pei Shuying was not polite and scolded Yang Gongren, but the latter accepted it honestly.
Mainly because he didn't expect that Yang Ming's drinking capacity was so bad. You know that Prince Yang Zhao had a huge amount of alcohol.
All night long, Pei Shuying and her maid served him attentively, without even a wink of sleep.
Yang Ming did not attend the court meeting the next day.
Yang Guang did not see his son, and was quite puzzled. He asked the officials:
"Why didn't King Hedong come to court today?"
Except for Yang Gongren who knew it well, no one else knew.
At this time, a chamberlain came in to report that Hedong Palace sent someone, saying that he was drunk yesterday and has been vomiting and unable to get out of bed.
Yang Guang was instantly furious: "How dare Shu Zian get drunk and miss the big event."
Yang Gongren felt guilty for a while, he was the one who convinced the person, and if the emperor really wanted to pursue him, he couldn't escape his involvement.
The King of Hedong is really bad. He hasn't regained his strength all night? If I had known this, I would not have convinced him like this.
Yang Gongren hurried out
List, Qi said:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Yesterday, I invited the King of Hedong to a banquet. I got drunk during the banquet. It is all my fault."
Yang Guang was stunned and asked: "How much did you drink?"
"I dare not lie to you," Yang Gongren said, "Your Highness drank about a pound."
The alcohol content of Da Sui's wine is not high. The average person's alcohol capacity is about two or three kilograms, and a better one is five or six kilograms. For Prince Yang Zhao, eight kilograms is the base, and ten kilograms is just right.
Yang Guang suddenly felt embarrassed. How could he become so virtuous after just one pound of drinking?
Although he knew that his third son was not good at drinking, he did not expect him to be such a waste.
"Did you all hear that?" Yang Guang glanced at the ministers and said, "If you invite him again from now on, it will not exceed one catty."
"I will take your orders!"
Although the ministers' faces were solemn, many of them secretly laughed at Yang Ming's drinking capacity.
After all, Yang Guang still felt sorry for his son and ordered the imperial doctor to visit him in person.
Wangfu,
Yang Ming really didn't come back. He had drunk so much before, but never fell unconscious like this time.
Yang Gongren, this kid, how can he entertain himself with wine? He has such great stamina.
It was not until noon, after Yang Ming sent away the imperial doctor, that he managed to eat some food.
Pei Shuying was by the side and couldn't help but laugh: "I used to see you drinking, and I would only drink lightly. I thought you were afraid of getting drunk and getting into trouble. Now I understand that your drinking capacity is really bad."
Yang Ming pretended to be annoyed and said, "Is it fun to laugh at your own husband?"
Pei Shuying suppressed a smile and said, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. By the way, the eldest princess sent someone here. When she saw you were drunk, she left."
Only then did Yang Ming remember that he and Yang Lihua had made an appointment to enter the palace together today.
"I'm feeling better now. My brain doesn't hurt so much anymore. Let's change clothes," Yang Ming said.
Pei Shuying felt sorry for her husband and refused directly: "It's a big deal, let's talk about it tomorrow. You didn't even go to the meeting, do you still care about this?"
"It doesn't matter,"
Yang Ming stubbornly called the maid, washed and changed clothes, and then took a car to Yang Lihua's house with Pei Shuying's reluctance.

Among the Sui Dynasty couples, there were very few wives with strong wives. Most of the time, the wives followed their husbands' wishes. There were very few strong women like Dugu Jialuo and Princess Qin.
In the carriage, Yang Lihua looked Yang Ming up and down for a long time, and couldn't help but laugh:
"Our Yang family has never had anyone like you. A boy of twelve or thirteen years old can drink more than this."
Yang Ming turned his head helplessly and looked out the window, refusing to pick on her.
Unexpectedly, Yang Lihua was still unwilling to give up. Seeing Yang Ming's embarrassment, she even smiled wildly:
"Don't make your family scandal public. Don't dare let anyone know about it in the future. It would be embarrassing if word got out that you were such a bad drinker."
In fact, everyone in the court knew about Yang Ming's drinking capacity.
Right now, Yang Guang, in front of Empress Xiao and his eldest son Yang Zhao, scolded Yang Gongren for his lack of discernment. How could he dare to say such embarrassing things to his son at the court meeting?
It's not okay to tell the truth, it's not okay to tell lies, how difficult it is to be an official. .
