Yang Su is sixty-two years old this year. When he was young, he fought in the north and south, and accumulated many stubborn diseases. When his body and bones were good, he could still bear it. Once he got serious illness, all the root causes of the disease were highlighted.
This time, he has been sick at home for more than a month.
Yang Ming came to visit no less than ten times. Each time, the two of them could chat for a long time. Yang Su seemed to have so much to say only when Yang Ming was here.
In the dormitory, after several beauties were sent away by Yang Su, only Feng Deyi (yi) was left to entertain Yang Ming.
This famous figure in the early Tang Dynasty is 38 years old. He was originally a staff member of Yang Su. He was recommended by Yang Su during the Kaihuang period and briefly served as an internal historian for a period of time. Now he is Yang Su's deputy. , helping to preside over the affairs of Tokyo Construction.
Feng Deyi moved a small bench, sat far away, and added charcoal to the stove.
Yang Su leaned back on the couch, glanced at Pei Shuying, smiled on her skinny face, and said:
"New life, old death, eternal life."
Pei Shuying hurriedly said: "Mr. Yue's words are serious. Your health will get better. Don't say such words of self-pity."
Yang Su smiled and said to Feng Deyi: "Deyi, take out your majesty's decree and let King Qin see it."
Feng Deyi nodded, stood up and found a small box. After opening it, he took out the apricot scroll and handed it to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming unfolded it and looked at it, then handed it to Pei Shuying who was standing aside, who also looked at it.
Emperor Yang Guang granted Yang Su the title of Duke of Chu, with a settlement of 2,500 households, and he was worshiped as the crown prince and grand master.
At this point, Prince Yang Zhao's three divisions are complete, Prince Taishi Yang Su, Prince Taifu Yang Xiong, and Prince Taibao Yang Hong.
The Duke of Chu is obviously more honorable than the Duke of Yue. Jin, Qin, Qi, and Chu are the four largest titles for kings and Dukes. Gao Qiu was the Duke of Qi back then, but it was a pity that he offended Dugu Jialuo and fucked him. .
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Yue. No, it should be Mr. Chu."
"Haha..." Yang Su shook his head and smiled, and said calmly: "Since I became seriously ill, your Majesty has sent 13 imperial doctors to treat me, and seven of them have returned to Beijing. This The decree was sent from the capital after they returned to the capital, do you see anything?"
Yang Ming shook his head.
Yang Su smiled. He knew that Yang Ming understood, but he also knew that Yang Ming wouldn't say it.
"I probably won't be able to survive much longer. If I can survive this winter, I may still have half a year to live. Your Majesty, by giving me such a reward at this time, I'm afraid you just want to see me off on my last journey."
Yang Ming said: "Mr. Chu has thought too much. My father would not have this intention. He must be looking forward to your speedy recovery."
Yang Su waved his hand, pointed at Feng Deyi, then pointed at Yang Ming and Pei Shuying, and said:
"There are no outsiders here. A hundred years later, Deyi was handed over to His Highness. He has been with me for nearly twenty years. Because of me, he was dismissed as the Minister of Internal Affairs by the Supreme Being. His original bright future was also ruined. I have some feelings for him. Ashamed."
In the corner, Feng Deyi remained silent, his back to the three of them, and kept wiping his tears.
This man was highly regarded by Yang Su and married Yang Su's cousin. His hometown was in Hebei. His grandfather was Zuopushe, the minister of the old Qi Dynasty. He was from a family of officials.
Historically, during the Li Shimin period, he was the minister of right pushe, and the minister of left pushe at that time was Yang Ming's old uncle Xiao Yu.
Yang Ming's face was dark and silent.
Yang Su's illness should be a liver problem. Yang Ming also asked the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor's answer at that time was: Don't work hard and rest peacefully.
Basically, it means that if it can’t be cured, just take care of it slowly.
At this time, Yang Guang gave Yang Su a special seal, which somewhat meant explaining his funeral affairs. Otherwise, if everything was fine, why would he seal him?
At this time, the medicine on the fire was boiled,
Pei Shuying suddenly stood up and was about to carry the medicine pot on the fire. Seeing this, Feng Deyi couldn't even say anything, so he had to replace Pei Shuying.
Pei Shuying shook her head, took down the medicine pot, put it on gauze, filtered the medicinal soup into a bowl, then took a spoon and came to the bedside,
"The Duke of Yue is completely sincere to his husband, and I have nothing to repay him with. I can only serve him and give him medicine to repay him."
Yang Su smiled and nodded: "I couldn't bear it before, but I can bear it now."
Then, Pei Shuying began to give medicine. The old man and the young man were like grandfather and grandson. One accepted the medicine calmly, and the other took care of it carefully.
After a while, Pei Shuying wiped Yang Su's mouth and then stepped aside.
Perhaps because of the medicine, Yang Su sweated on his forehead and felt much better. He smiled and said:
"When spring comes and the flowers bloom, I will go to court and request to return to Beijing to recuperate. I will entrust the affairs of Luoyang to His Highness."
Yang Ming nodded: "After all, outside is not as good as home. Going back to cultivate is always better than elsewhere."
"Yang Yue wrote to me. The matter regarding the Huanghuai Canal will definitely be discussed at the court next year. With His Majesty's wisdom and decisiveness, there should be no obstacles," Yang Su said slowly:
"His Majesty intends to ask King Qi to do this matter. Then, His Highness will definitely be recalled to the capital. The reason why I tell you this is that I hope that after His Highness returns to the capital, he must make peace with Yang Xiong and Yang Hong. relation."
Yang Ming frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Father doesn't like me to be too close to King Guan."
"One moment, another moment," it was not convenient for Yang Su to speak explicitly about the prince Yang Zhao, but from the news sent by his cronies, it could be basically concluded that the prince would definitely have major health problems within two years.
At that time, whoever is close to the clan will have a chance to win the crown prince.
It is difficult for a person who does not get the support of the clan to be established as a prince. The prince is the next emperor and is related to the vital interests of the clan. They care about this more than anyone else.
The reason why Yang Xiong, King of Guan, and Yang Hong, King of Hejian, were arranged to be the Crown Prince's Tutor and Crown Prince's Protector was that the emperor's intention was to make the clan members supporters of the Crown Prince.
Yang Su continued: "You have a little kindness to Yang Xiong right now, and you just take this opportunity to date. As for Gao Lande's matter, I have told Yang Yue that when the opportunity is right in the future, he will tell the truth to His Highness, but right now, it is not possible. "
Yang Su was finally willing to tell the truth. It seemed that Gao Lande was indeed in his hands. This person had a great relationship with the Chuanguo Jade Seal and would definitely be a very key figure in the future.
After all, Yang Su felt unwell. After chatting for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore. He specially asked Feng Deyi to send Yang Ming and his wife away.
After Feng Deyi came back, Yang Su ordered:
"Something big may happen in two years, so remember to be a good student and help the left."
Feng Deyi nodded.
Yang Su slowly lay down, looked at the roof, and said calmly: "This son is the most like the Supreme One. One day in the future, he will also become ruthless and unjust. This is the current situation..."
...
When Yang Ming received the letter from his mother, he felt somewhat dumbfounded.
He didn't know what the second child had done to make his mother-in-law call him a traitor. You know, the queen mother, Xiao, almost never loses her temper.
It is conceivable that the second child must have made a big mistake this time.
So Yang Ming wrote a letter to Yang Yinjiang, asking her for details, and then called Pei Shuying and Li Xiuqing to discuss how to divide the second son's property.
This is not a small amount. If converted into money, it would be about sixty times the current national treasury of Luoyang.
Yang Ming was a little confused when he had the opportunity to swallow so much money at once, and he was even a little afraid to ask for it.
Pei Shuying and Li Xiuqing didn't even dare to ask for it.
"The queen mother must have said this out of anger. Husband, please don't take it seriously. We can't touch this money," Pei Shuying advised.
"Yeah, yeah, that's right," Li Xiuqing also nodded.
Yang Ming smiled. He could see that Pei Shuying was considering the overall situation and did not want him and Yang Xian to fall out completely, while Li Xiuqing felt that the amount was too high and was somewhat confused.
If it were Yang Yinjiang, he would definitely have swallowed the money. The queen mother's will was written clearly, and taking the money was to act in accordance with the order and be fair and aboveboard.
Although this is the majority of the second son's net worth, as long as the second son uses his brain and concentrates on making money, he can earn it back within a few years.
Pei Shuying and Li Xiuqing did not understand the ways to make money. They estimated that without the money, Yang Jian would become poor.
This is impossible, because what Yang Ming withheld was all gold and silver property, and there was no land deed or house deed. Those things are a long-term industry.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Ming said: "Let's divide the money into four parts, one for the father, one for the mother, one for the eldest brother, one for us, and divide it among the four families. The second brother will not dare to ask for it in the future."
Pei Shuying couldn't help laughing and said: "Do you really want to take this money? Our family is not short of money, right?"
Yang Ming immediately gave her a shock and said with a smile: "If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, Yin Jiang wouldn't say such a thing. You don't care about money, so of course you don't understand."
In fact, Yang Ming is very short of money. This year, Yang Yinjiang allocated 200,000 yuan to the Xiangyang Navy this year. Where will he get the money to make up for the shortfall next year?
Therefore, Yang Ming would definitely take the money from the second child, but he did not dare to take it all alone. The last resort was to share some with everyone.

In his estimation, if the queen mother was so angry this time, if he offered the money, the queen mother would definitely ask for it.
Needless to say, dad needs money, which means Yang Zhao will be a little reluctant to accept it.
It's his business whether to accept it or not, Yang Ming just gives it away.
As a result, Yang Ming divided the money that Yang Jing had collected in Jiangnan for many years into four parts, and directly transferred two military mansions around Luoyang, with a total of 2,400 guards, and ordered them to escort the property to Beijing.
Yang Ming also knew about the fact that Yang Qing and Yang He were made generals. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he asked them to lead the army and escort the property back to Beijing to take up their posts.
It was only a matter of time before he fell out with his second son, because Yang Ming would definitely compete for the crown prince. Yang Su had made it very clear today that his father would make Yang Jian responsible for the canal matter.
In fact, no matter who is in charge, Yang Ming will find ways to restrain and hinder the other party, and the second child is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Without this money, this kid will definitely become greedy when building the canal. As long as he gets the handle, Yang Ming will kill him.
Yang Ming suddenly realized that he seemed to have gradually lost interest in family ties. Only then did he realize why so many brothers killed each other in history.
Times and trends are all for profit, and we are not immune.
