Capital, East Palace.
Prince Yang Zhao's eldest son was born, and Yang Guang named him Yang You himself.
On this day, Yang Guang and his wife went to the East Palace together to visit their grandson, and the family enjoyed themselves happily.
Yang You's birth was much more noble than Yang Ming's son Yang Rui, so Yang Guang ordered that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty be rewarded, and the people in the capital were rewarded with meat, food and wine, and the whole city celebrated together.
Yang Guang held his infant grandson in his arms and walked around the house, teasing the child from time to time, while Queen Xiao chatted about home affairs with Crown Princess Wei Ying.
Wei Ying's father, Wei Shou, died in the 10th year of the founding of the Emperor and was the fourth son of Wei Xiaokuan.
Wei Shou had a total of three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Wei Baojiu, died early, and the second son, Wei Baoluan, succeeded him as Duke Hua.
】
Wei Baoluan was originally the deputy commander of the right guard of the East Palace of Prince Yang Zhao, but now, through the help of his sister, he became the general of Youwuhou.
The third oldest, Wei Yijie, was just a casual official of Dr. Yinqing Guanglu, and now he was also named a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Of the two daughters, one became the crown princess and the other married Yang Su's younger brother, Wannian County Magistrate Yang Yue.
In general, Wei Shou's branch is slowly gaining strength.
At this time, a eunuch from the East Palace came in with a letter in his hand.
"Your Highness, the reply from King Qin has arrived."
Yang Guang, who was originally pacing in the house, heard the sound, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he continued to tease the child calmly.
Yang Zhao, except for his own illness, hid nothing from his parents, so he said directly:
"Take it apart and read."
Empress Xiao and Crown Princess Wei Ying also stopped talking and looked at the eunuch.
"My brother will always obey my brother's request."
After reading it, the eunuch folded the letter again, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Yang Zhao with both hands.
At this moment, the corners of Yang Guang's mouth turned up slightly, and then he took the opportunity to turn around and wink at Queen Xiao.
Then Queen Xiao looked at Yang Zhao and said with a smile:
"What tasks have you sent to Ming'er again?"
Yang Zhao handed the envelope in his hand to his mother and replied with a smile:
"Mingdi kept the second son's property in Luoyang. The second son asked me for help and hoped that I would get it back for him, so my son sent a letter to Mingdi."
When the second child was mentioned, Queen Xiao's face also became displeased, and she frowned and said:
"Jie'er is getting more and more outrageous. You are the elder brother. You must teach him well in the future. Ming'er is still reasonable. After all, he suffered a loss in this matter. Now he still wants to listen to you and return the things. Go back and think about it and realize how wronged Ming'er is."
"What else can I give you?" Yang Guang finally turned around, handed the child to the wet nurse beside him, stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm happy for him to rob the third child, but not for the third child to take his money? How can this be reasonable in the world? In my opinion, if you can't get the money back, the second child won't starve to death."
Hearing this, Yang Zhao quickly stood up and smoothed things over: "My son also knew that the second brother was at fault first, so he made it very clear in his letter to Mingdi, asking him to keep some of it as compensation. After all, most of the family's wealth was taken by the second brother. No, it’s not appropriate either.”
Yang Guang snorted coldly: "Don't always suppress your brother. He will suffer any grievance. Look at what he said in his reply. The second brother can't say such a thing. There is a difference between elder and younger. I think The second child never listens to your advice, what the hell."
Yang Zhao smiled and didn't say anything. Maybe it was because the second child grew up with him, so the second child didn't listen to him on many things, but the third child always obeyed him.
As for Yang Guang, he was actually very satisfied with Yang Ming's reply. In his opinion, the second and third oldest children should not have any intention of competing with the boss. If they want to live peacefully for the rest of their lives, they must listen to the boss's words.
But now, the second child obviously doesn't understand this truth. The third child is the youngest, but he respects the eldest child the most.
Yang Guang sat down with an ugly expression and said: "In the Renshou Palace, if the third child had been replaced by the second child, our family would not be where we are today. He is still not convinced and feels that I have wronged him by naming the third child King of Qin. , tell him that if he does something wrong again in the future, King Qi, I will forgive him."
Yang Zhao knew that his father was speaking angrily, so he quickly agreed with a smile. At this time, the eunuch from outside came to report that it was Princess Yuwen of Qin who came to visit the emperor's grandson.
"Please!"
In order to show that he valued Yang Yinjiang, Yang Zhao personally greeted him at the door and then led him in.
Seeing Yang Guang and his wife, Yang Yinjiang hurriedly saluted:
"My daughter-in-law sends her regards to her father, emperor and mother."
Empress Xiao smiled and raised her hand: "Yin Jiang, get up quickly and come over to see the child."
Yang Guang stepped aside and stopped mentioning the topic of the second child. After a while, he casually asked:
"Has the third child written home letters recently?"
Yang Yinjiang hurriedly replied: "I have always said that I would like to return to my father. Over there in Luoyang, the palace city is almost completed. His Highness said in the letter that this is all the result of Yuwen Shangshu. My grandfather Yang Su became ill from overwork and is recovering from illness. .”
Yang Guang nodded: "When it comes to engineering construction, Yu Wenkai should be the leader, and Yang Su has not let me down."
Then, Yang Yinjiang suddenly smiled and said: "There is one more happy thing that I want to tell my father and the empress that the concubine Pei is pregnant."
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It is indeed a happy event. If the world knew about it, it would definitely be a great relief."
Empress Xiao quickly ordered the maids around her to select capable maids from the palace and go to Luoyang to serve her.
Ordinary concubines would not be valued so much, but Yang Ming, the concubine, had a very awesome father, so she was taken very seriously.
Yang Guang was in high spirits, so he began to think about how to name the child.
Prince Yang Zhao was on the side, spreading paper and grinding.
Yang Zhao's three sons, Yang Tan, Yang Tong and Yang You, are all alone.
Yang Ming's eldest son, Yang Rui, is beside Xie Yu.
So after Yang Guang wrote a lot of characters with slanted jade edges, he thought about it for a long time and picked out "Jin" and another "Jing".
Yang Guang wrote with a smile:
"If it's a son, he'll be called Yang Jin, and if he's a daughter, he'll be called Yang Jing."
"Wonderful!" Yang Zhao quickly flattered him.
It is actually very rare to give a girl a special name. In general, the name of a daughter in a family will not follow that of a boy. The "Jing" character Yang Guang should refer to Luoyang, Tokyo.
Then, Yang Guang ordered these two words to be engraved on two pieces of mutton-fat jade and sent to Luoyang.
.......
The new year is approaching.
This year is the first year of the great cause, so whether it is Turks or barbarians from the Western Regions, many countries will send envoys to congratulate them.
The four words "Wan Guo Lai Chao" originated during Yang Guang's reign.
But at the moment, there are not that many countries, only a dozen at most, but in the middle of the great cause, countries such as Turks, Khitan, Japan, Linyi (Vietnam), Chenla (Cambodia), etc. will all come.
Historical records show that except for the Turkic Qimin Khan, the kings of other countries came in person, so that "the barbarians sighed and called China a god."
This is Wang Xiaoer who has entered the city to see the world.
Since ancient times, China has been concerned with saving face, so there are still more than ten days before the first lunar month begins, and Daxing City is already decorated with lanterns and festoons. Countless lamp wheels, lamp trees, lamp posts, etc. make Daxing City extremely prosperous.
Yang Guang ordered that the curfew be lifted, and Wu Hou took turns guarding it day and night, and could not help but walk at night.
Countless descendants of noble families from all over the world flocked to the capital like swarms, so that the streets were filled with people.
It's a pity that Yang Ming can't see all this. He is still working hard in Luoyang as his foreman.
Yang Jian tried his best and did not stop Wang's daughter on the way to Beijing. The reason was that Wang's daughter's motorcade came back with the motorcade of Liang Bi, the minister of punishment.
As for Liang Pi, he was not easy to mess with, because he dared to complain about anything, and dared to accuse the emperor of anything, so it was not good for Yang Jian to do such things in front of others.
Liang Pi and Wang Lin of the Langya royal family were old friends, so he let the Wang family's daughter's motorcade follow him.
After entering Beijing, Wang's daughter went to Chen Shuda's residence to meet her aunt Wang Nujie.
Chen Shuda's small house would definitely not be able to accommodate other people, so he asked a connection to rent a courtyard in Jinyang Building to accommodate Wang's daughter.
Who can help me get into Jinyang Tower? Of course it was Chen Shuyi, and Chen Shuda didn't have to spend any money on all the expenses. After all, Jinyang Tower belonged to Yang Ming.
The Wang family is a wealthy family. In terms of power, it is far inferior to the Guanzhong Group, but in terms of financial resources, these people in Guanzhong may not be stronger than others.
There are hundreds of people living in Jinyang Tower and Xiefeng Courtyard, including a dozen people named Wang, and the rest are servants.
Wang's daughter, named Wang Zhuoling, is sixteen years old this year. After simply packing up and bowing, she and her brothers and sisters left Jinyang Tower in the evening to enjoy the Lantern Festival in the city.
Wherever this woman goes, she attracts countless envious glances, just because of her natural beauty, tall figure, icy muscles and jade bones, which is rare to see in Guanzhong.
During this period, naturally many young men from Guanzhong took the initiative to flirt, one after another.
Those whose family backgrounds were not strong enough took the initiative to give in and let those with strong family backgrounds take the lead. For a time, it seemed that the entire capital knew that there was a peerless beauty wandering through the night in Dongshi.
Countless people from aristocratic families began to pour into Dongshi.
After receiving the news, Yang Yinjiang couldn't help but want to see the girl's true face in Lushan. She had appeared on the street before, but it was not such a sensation.
The lively long street is filled with people and there is a sea of people.
"Hello madam, His Highness the King of Qi invites madam to his residence for a chat. I hope madam will appreciate you," Zhang Xiaobao stepped forward cheerfully, cupped his hands and said with a smile.
This time, there was no one tougher than Yang Jian. The children of the aristocratic families retreated to the side angrily, with frustration written all over their faces.
Of course Wang Zhuoling had heard of King Qi’s reputation. Hearing this, he frowned and said:
"The daughter of the people is just visiting the capital with her family. She cannot bear the warm invitation of His Highness King Qi. Please reply to the King of Qi that the daughter of the people cannot go."
Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile: "In that case, I won't force you to do anything. Madam, please."
After taking the initiative to get out of the way, Zhang Xiaobao returned to the palace to resume his life.
He is different from Yang Jian's other losers. He is only responsible for scouting, not catching.
"If you don't drink a toast, you will be punished with a drink," Yang Jian sneered after receiving the reply and ordered his surroundings.
Late that night, a group of one hundred royal guards forcibly took Wang Zhuoling away from Jinyang Tower.
