Yang Lihua's last instructions were completely from the bottom of her heart. This is why Yang Ming has never dared to be tough with his father.
If you really want to offend your biological father, it is entirely possible to kill his King of Qin.
He has a lot to do, so he cannot lose his rights, otherwise nothing will be accomplished.
Emperor Gaozu Yang Jian had five sons in total, and he took care of three of them himself. Who can guarantee that Yang Guang would not do this?
Therefore, things like family love also need to be maintained. If you do not maintain it well, your biological father will kill you. In history, there are not many emperors whose father and son turned against each other.
The old Yang family is somewhat depleted now, and Yang Guang can't rely on any of his brothers, so he won't deal with his three sons easily at the moment.
And Yang Ming also knew in his heart that he should take it easy in the future to avoid being demoted to a commoner.
Yang Guang's arrangements at the court meeting yesterday were a stroke of genius. None of the central bosses were offended, but they were successfully dismantled and divided, so that the court could no longer form a force that could challenge the emperor.
I haven't come to court in the past two days because I'm holding back my big move.
Yu Wenshu, Lai Hu'er, Yang Yue, Pei Yun, and Zhang Heng are all my father's people. When Guo Yan comes back, this group of people will be enough to compete with Gao Jiao Suwei in the court.
The construction of the canal will probably be impossible to stop.
Yang Ming was also helpless.
After returning home, he called Yuan Wendu and the others. Yang Ming ordered everyone to start preparations. He would take everyone to leave Beijing and go to Luoyang.
Yang Yinjiang knew that she couldn't get away because the child was still young, so she hoped that Yang Ming would bring someone else to sleep with besides Chen Shuyi.
After much thought, Yang Ming decided to take Li Xiuqing with him, not because he liked the new but disliked the old, but because Pei Shuying wanted to go back to her parents' house to help Pei Ju copy some classics.
Pei Ju went to Zhangye this time, and the burden on him was not light. Because Comrade Yang Guang had the idea of taking control of the countries in the Western Regions, he asked Pei Ju to go first and figure out the situation there.
Pei Ju has a diplomatic skill that is no less than that of Chang Sun Cheng. Others really can't do this kind of thing.
And since he was going to another place, he naturally had to bring a lot of books for reference. Some of them could be copied by his servants, but some of them could not be copied by others, so he could only use trustworthy people.
Everyone has secrets, and Pei Ju is no exception.
The copies are basically only original copies, which may be lost or damaged, so another copy must be made.
Books were very precious in the Sui Dynasty. The Secretariat Province, which had the largest collection of books, basically collected half of the world's classics. Books were knowledge, and only by controlling knowledge could people be controlled.
Therefore, all wealthy families attach great importance to the maintenance and collection of their collections.
When Yang Ming leaves this time, he will take Dugu Bailou with him to protect his own safety. As for Dugu Feng'er, just stay at home.
Dad's original guard, Ma Laoliu, was unable to follow Yang Guang into the East Palace because of his bald head. He briefly followed Yang Ming for a while, but now he has successfully entered the palace. He is also the first person to do so since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. As a civilian, he became the best preparation for Qianniu.
At the moment, Dad has the final say in Sui Dynasty.
Don't say anything that is not in line with the ancestral system. In fact, Yang Guang has been reforming the system.
Yang Ming will not leave Beijing by land this time, but will take a boat from Guangtong Canal all the way east, from Tongguan to the Yellow River.
Tongguan is downstream of Pujinguan, and boats can be sailed on the Yellow River starting from Pujinguan. However, you have to be careful on the side of Dianzhu Mountain, that is, Sanmenxia, because there are too many reefs and the current is fast.
After entering the Yellow River, pass through Shaanxian County and Yuanxian County, arrive at the dock of Heyang County, and then cross the Yellow River south to Yanshi. More than 40 miles southwest of Yanshi is Luoyang County.
Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, has been reduced to ruins. Today's Luoyang was built next to the ruins. It is no longer the size of the palace city it was back then, but the area is still large and it belongs to Henan County.
Henan County has 18 counties. Henan County is located in Henan County. Its size cannot be compared with Luoyang, but it is very close to Luoyang, about ten miles away.
After Yang Ming and the others arrive in Luoyang, they will temporarily live in the county and preside over the construction of the new capital.
But they haven't left yet because another incident happened in Daxing.
News reached the capital that Liu Shu was infected with miasma and died on his way back. His wife, Princess Yang Awu of Lanling, had been on a hunger strike for three days.
"When did this happen?" After receiving the news, Yang Ming rushed to the East Palace and asked his eldest brother Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao shrugged: "I only heard from Aniang yesterday. It seems to have happened before my father returned to Beijing. The news has been suppressed, and it was only recently that the news leaked."
Yang Ming frowned and said, "How is Fifth Aunt's place? Can Father come to visit us?"
"I've been there, but my father was very angry when he came back. He threw a lot of things, and I didn't even dare to persuade him." Yang Zhao reminded in a low voice: "My father is very angry these days, so don't bump into him."
Yang Ming nodded, knowing that Yang Zhao was trying to persuade him to leave Beijing early. After all, he had already made his father angry because of the canal incident. If he bumped into him again at this juncture, he would inevitably get a scolding.
So he left the palace in a hurry.
As a result, that night, Yang Lihua's maid came to Prince Qin's Mansion in panic and asked Yang Ming to go to Liu Shu's Mansion immediately. As for what happened, the maid didn't know.
Yang Ming guessed it.
When he arrived at Liu Mansion, there were already a lot of people inside, all from the Sui clan, and not a single foreign minister.
As soon as he entered the backyard, he bumped into Yang Gongren, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Yang Ming hurriedly asked:
"what happened?"
Yang Gongren said with a mournful face: "The princess died as her husband, and she walked away with a white silk ribbon."
"Alas..." Yang Ming sighed sadly and hurried towards the dormitory.
In the room, Yang Guang, his wife and Yang Lihua were both there. The other princesses were also on their way after hearing the news. In addition, there were also Prince Yang Zhao, King Guan Yang Xiong, King Cai Yang Zhiji, King Yang Hong of Hejian and others. .
Yang Guang sat on the edge of the couch, clenching his fists, veins popping out on his forehead, extremely angry.
Yang Awu's body had been covered with white cloth.
Seeing Yang Ming come in, Yang Guang glared at him fiercely, frightening Yang Ming and quickly took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Empress Xiao turned her back and secretly waved her sleeves towards her son. Upon seeing this, Yang Ming quietly retreated out the door.
"Come back!" Yang Guang yelled angrily and said, "Your aunt is dead, don't you even shed a tear?"
Grass! Why are you so angry at me? Yang Ming hurriedly pretended to be frightened and knelt down, saying:
"I just learned about it, and I still don't want to believe it."
"Why are you yelling at him?" Yang Lihua had obviously just cried, her eyes were red and swollen, but she still spoke up in time to protect Yang Ming, but her mother, Empress Xiao, did not dare to speak.
Yang Lihua said: "Ming'er has little contact with Ah Wu. Men don't shed tears easily. Don't vent your anger."
Yang Guang still listened to Yang Lihua's words. He snorted coldly and said:
"My grandpa and grandma are all spoiled and don't listen to others' advice. Among all the men in the world, how can Liu Shu be the only one?"
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Yang Ming thought he was scolding him again, but after hearing the second half, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As he said that, Yang Guang picked up a piece of white silk from the ground. There were a few lines of blood words on it. Yang Guang murmured and read:
"In the past, we both swore to each other and wrote beautiful poems. We kept silent to each other and passed the imperial edict. Although I felt guilty, I secretly admired the ancients. I could not follow my husband in life, so I begged to be buried in the Liu family."
"The dead beggar is buried in the Liu family... The dead beggar is buried in the Liu family..." Yang Guang threw the white silk away violently: "She wanted to be buried with that traitor Liu Shu, I just couldn't grant her wish."
"Pass on my decree," Yang Guang's chamberlain Gao Ye said: "Isn't Liu Shu buried in Hedong? Princess Lanling was buried in Hongduchuan (North of Xianyang), and she was downgraded to be buried as a county leader. I want them to die without being able to see each other. .”
Yang Lihua's face changed drastically, and just as she was about to speak, Yang Guang waved his sleeves, stood up abruptly and said:
"Sister, there is no need to persuade, I have already made up my mind."
After that, Yang Guang walked out the door without looking back. When he saw Yang Ming again, he said coldly:
"Your aunt has no need for you to attend the funeral. Just go and do your business."
Yang Ming hurriedly agreed: "I accept the order and will leave tomorrow."
"Huh!" Yang Guang snorted and left.
After the emperor and queen had left, the people left in the room looked at each other with different expressions.
The dignified sister of the emperor was buried as a county princess in the end, or in a lonely tomb. What is this?
Historically, there seems to be a rule in the Qing Dynasty that a married princess cannot be buried in the royal mausoleum or in her husband's family. She must choose another place to be buried. This is why there are so many princess tombs across the country from the Qing Dynasty. of.
But in the Sui Dynasty, there was no such rule.
After Yang Lihua stood blankly for a while, she sighed with a lonely expression, looked at Yang Ming and said:
"Let's go quickly..."
Yang Ming nodded and retreated.
If he was not sure yesterday whether his father was angry with him, he was sure today.
It seems that my life will not be easy in the future.
The next day, Yang Ming, Yang Su and others left Beijing together.
They would take a boat from the dock fifteen miles outside the city and go eastward from Guangtong Canal into the Yellow River.
Taking the water route is much more comfortable than the land route. Except for the boatman in charge of operating the boat, everyone else is very relaxed.
Because Guangtong Canal is an artificial canal that brings the Wei River in, the water flow is very slow and ships can travel very smoothly on it.
On the river, there was an endless stream of ships coming and going, many entering the capital and few leaving the capital, and most of them were grain ships.
Guangtong Canal is almost the lifeline of Guanzhong. Food is continuously transported from the Central Plains to supply the capital.
The journey was easier, but everyone's mood was not relaxed at all.
Especially after seeing the drawings drawn by Yu Wenkai,
Not just floor plans, but piles upon piles of complex drawings piled on the floor.
Not only must Luoyang be built, but granaries must also be built, and a large number of people from other places must be relocated to enrich Tokyo.
"Where do people come from?" Yang Su stared at the drawings and asked with a frown.
At the moment, Yu Wenkai is the one who is most familiar with the specific content of construction. Just listen to him say:
"Your Majesty means that in addition to Henan, we should also move wealthy families and wealthy businessmen from Hebei, Shandong, Jiangnan and other places to enrich Luoyang,"
Yang Su nodded: "If your Majesty has any other arrangements, please tell me."
"Okay," Yu Wenkai spread out the drawings and began to explain to everyone.
Yang Ming sat in the main seat, closed his eyes and listened.
