New clues are reported to Yang Guang every day, and Yang Guang becomes more and more aware of the whole matter.
Regarding matters related to the prince, all personnel involved in the investigation have to keep their mouths shut and do not dare to leak the information at all.
In fact, everyone is very clear about this matter. The main thing to guard against is two people, King Qin and King Qi.
Once the prince is seriously ill, he will not be able to handle government affairs, because this disease takes a huge toll on people, and even if he recovers, his energy will be far less than before.
Then there is a high possibility that the crown prince position will be replaced, because the prince's body cannot support him and he will continue to sit in this position.
Then only King Qin and King Qi are left. Once these two people know that the prince is seriously ill, something big will happen.
The most panicked person is probably Jingzhao Wei. The Wei family members are all over the center, so they will definitely know about this matter. In their view, nothing can happen to the prince, because they are his relatives.
The Wei family is also related by marriage to the King of Qi Yang Jian, so they naturally regard Yang Ming as the primary threat.
Wang Zhuoling of the Langya royal family said goodbye to Prince Qin's Mansion and returned to the palace. However, it was obvious that Yang Guang was not interested in women now, so he ordered the chamberlain to open a dormitory in the palace to accommodate him.
Yang Guang himself was quietly waiting for Yang Su to return to Beijing.
In his opinion, the biggest problem with the third child is that he has Yang Su's support. Yang Su is too scary.
When the prince was well, Yang Guang had been taboo about Lao San getting too close to Yang Su. Now it is no longer a taboo, but a thorn in his heart and a thorn in his side.
He had to cut off the powerful arm of the third child, because Yang Guang knew very well that the third child was a far greater threat than the second child.
On the twenty-third of the first lunar month, Yang Su and Pei Shuying arrived in the capital.
Yang Guang was unwilling to wait for a moment and immediately summoned Yang Su into the palace.
In the study room of Liangyi Palace, Yang Guang ordered his chamberlain to bring a chair and stove, placed it next to Yang Su, pointed at it and said:
"Sit down, you are tired from traveling and traveling, and your health is not good. I am also concerned about your health, so I summoned you to the palace."
Yang Su's legs were trembling and he said: "I can't sit on the chair now. I beg your Majesty to let me sit on the ground."
In fact, he was not that serious, but he deliberately acted like he was terminally ill, because he had received news from Yang Yue's people on the way, and he also figured it out on the way. This time he returned to Beijing and bid farewell to the Central Committee completely. , go home to recuperate.
If he doesn't go down, the family will have to go down.
Yang Guang nodded with a worried look on his face, and asked someone to fetch a mat and help Yang Su sit down.
"Thank you for the hard work in Luoyang. You must take a good rest when you come back this time. You are my humerus and I can't live without you."
Yang Su said weakly: "I have received your majesty's favor, but I can only repay it with all my heart and soul. However, my decayed body is no longer able to bear the burden. I would like to resign and go home to recuperate."
"I'm not allowed!" Yang Guang waved his sleeves flatly and said, "You are the most loyal to me when I ascend the throne as the crown prince. I thought at that time that after I succeed to the throne, I will give you the highest courtesy and let everyone in the world know that you, Yang Su , is the person I trust most, I will never doubt him."
Yang Su cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. It was definitely not touching, but no one knew what it was about.
"I have fulfilled your majesty's trust, and I wish I could serve you day and night and use the strength of a saddle and horse. However, I am already old and I am afraid that my time is running out. I can only burn incense and pray day and night to pray for your majesty."
"Ai Qing is so seriously ill?" Yang Guang asked with a sad look on his face.
Yang Su nodded: "I am already sixty-two years old this year. My old illnesses have recurred. I cannot eat properly, cannot sleep at night, and my body aches like a knife. I am no longer able to handle the affairs of the court. Please allow me to do so." , resign and go home."
"Alas..." Yang Guang looked painful and sad.
After a while, Yang Guang nodded: "I will send an imperial doctor to take care of you day and night. If you are healthy, you must promise me to come back...I am not used to not having you in the court."
Yang Su stood up with a grateful face and knelt down towards Yang Guang tremblingly.
Yang Guang hurriedly walked down from the stage, helped him up personally, and said with tears in his eyes: "You are my Guan Zhong. I look forward to your early return to the court. Once you accept the official position, I will keep it for you."
After Yang Su thanked him again, he was supported by two chamberlains and left the study.
This pair of monarchs and ministers, starting from the time when Yang Guang won the rightful son, has now completed the last part of their journey.
Yang Su knew that he would never come back, and Yang Guang would not let him come back.
Everyone was having fun together for the last time and knew each other well.
From the beginning to the end, Yang Guang never mentioned the matter of Prince Yang Zhao, because Yang Guang knew in his heart that Yang Su must know.
But between the two of them, there are some things that don’t need to be stated clearly, and everyone understands them tacitly.
Next, it depends on what Yang Su does. If he still keeps in contact with Lao San, then Lao San may not know about it. If Yang Su never has anything to do with Lao San in the future, then there is a problem.
Yang Guang walked out of the hall and walked to the top of the dragon steps, looking at the hunched back in the square in the distance.
The biggest worry was finally half solved, and it was not completely solved until Yang Su died.
He will continue to reuse Yang Yue and Yang Xuangan, a person with no descendants, a stick, and no threat.
Yang Guang was suddenly in a good mood, so he went to Wang Zhuoling's bedroom and favored her.
Afterwards, Wang Zhuoling helped Yang Guang change clothes.
Yang Guang asked casually: "How do the people in Prince Qin's palace treat you?"
"Your Majesty, just like a guest, the princess will come to talk to me every morning. Everyone treats me very well," Wang Zhuoling said softly.
Yang Guang asked again: "What are you talking about?"
Wang Zhuoling couldn't help covering her mouth and said with a smile: "The princess seems to be worried about money every day, saying that the palace's expenses are too high, which makes her stretched. Just the day before yesterday, a man came to the palace and took away 60,000 yuan. I heard the princess said , It seems to be used to replace the upper part of the palace with armor."
"Did she even tell you this?" Yang Guang said blankly.
Wang Zhuoling nodded: "The princess and I were together at the time. When the man asked to see him, the girl wanted to avoid it, but the princess didn't let me leave, so she knew about it."
Yang Guang smiled: "If there are any other interesting things, you might as well tell me."
Wang Zhuoling frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"The princess's uncle seems to be a big shot. He often comes to the palace to visit the crown prince. He seems to have a good relationship with the princess. This man is extremely funny and often makes everyone laugh."
Yang Guang smiled and said: "This man's name is Yang Yue. He is currently the Internal Secretary. He is a true confidant. His mouth can talk the dead back to life."
"Yes, yes, it's quite unseemly," Wang Zhuoling covered her mouth and snickered.
In Yang Guang's view, there is nothing taboo about Yang Yue's interactions with Prince Qin's house as long as they are fair and aboveboard. After all, they are in-laws.
They only have a problem if they are sneaky.
As for the money spent by the Prince of Qin to replace the armor and stomach, he already knew it. Yang Guang knew exactly who purchased weapons at Yun Dingxing's refining kiln on the outskirts of Beijing.
Princess Yinjiang did not shy away from this matter, which shows that she is upright.
At this time, the chamberlain Takano came back with a very strange expression.
Yang Guang asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Takano couldn't help laughing and said:
"The King of Qin has seized all the property of the King of Qi. Now it has been sent to the palace. Twenty cars have been sent to the East Palace, and eighty cars have been sent to Yong'an Palace and His Majesty. What will Your Majesty do with this money?"
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, "Who asked him to do this?"
Gao Ye said: "This slave has asked the queen for instructions, and it is indeed the queen's will. However, the original statement was to let King Qin stay alone. But it seems that King Qin took it into consideration and divided the money."
"This child..." Yang Guang suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Well, it's time to teach the second child a lesson. Tell the prince to collect all the property. I and the queen's will be sent directly to Zuozang. library."
Indeed, as Yang Ming expected, Yang Guangda accepted it generously.
After this incident, Yang Guang's suspicion of Yang Ming was greatly reduced, because it stands to reason that he recalled Yang Jian to the capital, which was obviously a warning to the two of them not to make trouble again.
But the third child didn't seem to have any intention of giving up. He asked him to keep the money, and he actually divided it. If the third child was really thinking about big things, he wouldn't do this, and he would become more and more low-key.
During this period, the prince's swelling had improved greatly under Chao Yuanfang's diagnosis and treatment. This was one of the reasons why Yang Guang was in a good mood.
The sweating, lowering, and spitting methods used by Chao Yuanfang were very effective, and the prince's edema was slightly reduced.
The sweating method is to use Weiling and Wupi Decoction to induce sweating and expel kidney and liver evils.
The vomiting method is to remove the top of an old gourd, add wine, loosen the seeds with bamboo chops, seal it, boil it several times, mix it with wine and drink it. This will cause crazy vomiting and relieve edema.
The method of treatment is to take Weiling Powder plus Achyranthes Root, Cartridge, Zhouche and Shendan. After taking it for more than ten times, the urine will flow and the limbs will gradually shrink.
The good news from the East Palace spread frequently, and Yang Guangda was so pleased that he kept giving rewards to the Imperial Medical Office.
On this day, Ma Laoliu came back.
Yang Guang dismissed everyone around him and asked alone:
"Did anything special happen?"
Ma Laoliu nodded: "The King of Qi has sent two gifts to Prince Guan's Mansion, and the official Yang Gongren has sent one in return."
Yang Guang narrowed his eyes: "How much money is there? Why did he do this?"
Ma Laoliu shook his head: "I don't know about this. King Qi's current bodyguards have changed a lot. The specific amount cannot be found out by my humble position."
In the beginning, most of the people in the Qin Prince's Palace and Qi Prince's Palace were Yang Guang's people. His arrangement was somewhat meant to monitor his two sons, but the original intention was very simple, which was to select trustworthy subordinates to take charge of the two sons. Guard.
But Yang Ming did not change anyone, and even used the old man Zhu Sanli from the Jin Palace to kill people.
On the contrary, Yang Jian replaced most of the guards around him.
What does he want to do? What is he wary of?
"There is one more thing," Ma Laoliu said: "The relationship between King Qi and Li Zixiong's son is very close. When this son enters the prince's palace, it is like entering his own home, and he can come and go freely. Several old brothers in humble positions once said that King Qi and his son have a close relationship in private. , even as brothers."
Yang Guang was stunned immediately.
Okay...you don't recognize your own brother, how about you recognize a son of an official?
Yang Guang frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Call Zhu Sanli, I want to ask him personally."
