When Mrs. Gao saw Yang Ming, she would feel shy unconsciously. Women who live in seclusion are most likely to have random thoughts. She probably thought that Yang Ming was interested in her until now. trip
When she made tea for Yang Ming, Yang Ming just said "Thank you, madam", and Gao's hand holding the teapot shook.
Yang Ming felt bad. If Zhang Suncheng saw you like this, he would think that the two of us were having an affair.
You are not young at all, why are you still so sentimental?
Yang Ming simply changed his face and ignored the other party to prevent her from attacking herself.
Next, Changsun Cheng's children left at home were brought up.
He has a total of four sons and three daughters. Now he only has two sons and one daughter at home.
The eldest eldest son, Sun Xingbu, works in the East Palace, the second eldest son, Sun Hengye, works in the military government, the third eldest son, Sun Anye, currently has flexible employment, and the fourth eldest son, Sun Wuji, is still young. trip
The eldest daughter is married to Wang Shao, the son of Wang Qing, the general manager of Yanzhou, who was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, and is currently not at home.
The second daughter married Zhang Cong, the son of Zhang Bian, the general manager of Tanzhou. Zhang Cong's grandmother was Li Yuan's aunt.
So what Yang Ming sees now is Changsun Anye, Changsun Wuji and his younger sister Changsun Wugao.
In fact, it can be seen that Changsun Wuji's character is to some extent affected by his status in the family. His mother, Gao, is the stepmother after all, so his status in the family is not as good as that of the first wife.
What is a stepmother? To put it bluntly, when the eldest son Cheng dies in the future, he will share the same cave with his deceased wife, while the stepmother’s coffin is next door and cannot be in the same cave, and the size will be much smaller.
When I saw Wuji again, he still had his head drooped and no expression on his face, as if he had autism.
As for Changsun Wugao, she is a very peaceful little girl. The most eye-catching ones are those two dimples. She inherited Changsun Cheng’s dimples and Gao’s good looks, and made the right choice. trip
The last one, the eldest grandson Anye, is very unpopular. Some people are like this. People don't like him when he looks at his face. His two eyebrows are raised upward. Anyone who sees him will feel that he is angry. This It is a naturally angry face.
So Yang Ming simply didn't talk to him, but asked politely about Changsun Wuji's study status.
The purpose of coming here today is actually to meet the eldest grandson Wugu. Overall, she looks particularly pleasing to the eye. Her eyes are exactly the same as those of her mother, Gao Shi. They seem to be shining, but they have a little bit of baby fat. After all, she is only six years old. No draw.
Isn't it said that women have changed in their eighteenth year? Maybe it will give people a different feeling in the future.
At this time, Yang Ming noticed a man who looked like a housekeeper coming outside the hall, but he did not dare to come in, so Yang Ming winked at Changsun Cheng, who hurriedly asked:
"whats the matter?"
The housekeeper said: "Master, the second son of Duke Tang's family is here."
Hearing these words, Yang Ming noticed a slight change in Changsun Wuji's expression. It seemed that he and Li Shimin had already crossed paths, so what the hell.
Changsun Cheng also looked at his youngest son and said, "Since Erlang is here to find you, go down."
"No, let Shimin come too," Yang Ming raised his hand and said with a smile.
After a while, Li Shimin, who was already eight years old, was brought in by the housekeeper. When he saw Yang Ming, he suddenly smiled:
"It turns out it's my brother-in-law here. I only heard the housekeeper say there was an honored guest, but I didn't expect it was my brother-in-law."
Li Xiuqing, or Li Xiuning, was the concubine of the King of Qin, a decent and high-class wife, so it was reasonable to call her brother-in-law.
It is said that a married daughter throws away the water, and Li Xiuning is an exception, because among Yang Ming's women, she is the only one who always runs to her parents' house and stays there for several days. trip
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Are you and Wuji good friends?"
"Although we have known each other for less than a month, we have become close friends," Li Shimin said with a tight tongue.
What the hell do you think of them as best friends? How could two eight or nine-year-old children be best friends?
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Don't play for fun and miss your studies."
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, there won't be any delay," Li Shimin said with a smile.
Compared with Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin is undoubtedly sunny and cheerful. After all, his family is intact and he has endless money to spend. There is nothing worth worrying about.
Moreover, Li Yuan's focus is still on his eldest son Jiancheng, so the people of the world are basically free-range. You can read as many books as you can, and practice martial arts, riding and shooting if you want to, and you will be defeated if you don't practice. trip
As for Li Xuanba and Li Yuanji, that's called abandonment. Do whatever you like. Anyway, when you grow up and find a good marriage and a good official position for you, I will take care of it.
One advantage of being a direct descendant is that you can spend Li Yuan's money as much as you want, but if you are a concubine, you don't get this benefit.
For other concubines, if Li Yuan cannot become emperor, then they are destined to become a group of little people with no sense of existence.
Jiancheng wanted to seize the title. After Li Yuan died, Jiancheng took the lead in burning paper at his grave.
"What do you two usually do?" Yang Ming asked with interest.
Li Shimin said bluntly: "Explore literature and history, compete in martial arts, and study military books."
Is this all serious business? Yang Ming's face turned green. If you don't eat, drink and have fun at such a young age, how can you learn the art of war? trip
Who did you learn it from? What bastard taught you that?
Yang Ming nodded and said: "Very good...very good..."
"By the way, brother-in-law," Li Shimin continued: "Can you recommend me to Medicine Master Li from Youwuwei?"
Why the hell do you still want to poach me? It was so shameless, Yang Ming said in a deep voice:
"You are still young. When the time is right in the future, anyone on my side can help introduce you."
Li Shimin nodded disappointedly: "Okay, I was going to ask Sister to help me introduce him, but from the looks of it, let's talk about it later."
】
Yang Ming asked curiously: "Why do you want to see Li Jing?"
Li Shimin said with a serious face: "I have studied the whole process of my brother-in-law's suppression of the Han Dynasty's rebellion. I think Li Yaoshi was the key. If Pujin Pass was lost, Pei Wen'an's vanguard could cut off the Yellow River crossing bridge. There is a confrontation with Guanzhong. If this is the case, my brother-in-law will not be able to invade Jinyang so easily."
At this time, Changsun Wuji, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. Almost instinctively, he faced Li Shimin directly and said:
"Li Yaoshi is the effect, and His Highness the King of Qin is the cause. It is His Highness who has a sharp vision and employs people properly. He placed Li Yaoshi at Pujin Pass early in order to stop Pei Wen'an's 80,000 troops. After crossing the river, there were several battles, and it was also His Highness who Only by strategizing can we first surrender Qiao Zhongkui, then kill Zhao Zikai, kill Pei Wen'an, and capture the rebel Wang Liang alive, so I have always told you that asking for advice from Medicine Master Li is to seek advice from the near and far away. What you should really ask for is far away and right in front of you."
At this time, Changsun Cheng also hurriedly said:
"This war is dangerous, and every step during it is crucial. As the marching marshal, King Qin is almost like a god. He has a keen eye on the battlefield situation, so he can always make the most correct choice. Li Yaoshi is just a good general. , his talents are limited, but His Highness’ ability is what makes Ding Ding.”
No praise, no praise... Yang Ming was still very happy, even though Chang Sun Cheng was suspected of flattering.
Changsun Wuji learned the entire detailed process of the counter-rebellion battle from Changsun Cheng, so he had a deeper understanding than Li Shimin. trip
Li Yaoshi was undoubtedly a talented general, but who arranged his appearance at Pujin Pass? Without the King of Qin, how could he, a small county magistrate, command the troops and horses of a whole county?
Shimin chuckled and looked at Yang Ming with bright eyes: "Then I will never bother my brother-in-law from now on."
Get out of the way, Yang Ming chuckled:
"You two should go down."
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, bowed to Yang Ming and left.
Next, Yang Ming chatted for a few more words and then returned home.
Yang Yinjiang knew everything that happened at the court meeting today, because his father Xuangan had already come to him to complain. trip
It was said that Yang Ming recommended him and Changsun Chi together, but Changsun Chi was chosen but he was not, so Yang Xuan felt that as long as Yang Ming insisted on speaking for him at that time, he should be the one who got the job.
So when Yang Ming just returned home, his original intention was to find Li Xiuning, but he was sent away by someone sent by the princess.
"Why did you think of recommending Changsun Chi? He has nothing to do with us." As smart as she was, she couldn't figure out what her husband was thinking.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "You were not present at that time. Seventeen people were promoted to the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but looking at the appearance of the father, none of them were satisfied, so I thought that maybe the only person who is the prince is the father. My favorite."
Yang Yinjiang understood instantly: "I understand, it seems that the prince's condition is recovering well."
"Not necessarily!" Yang Ming said: "If he really recovers, the queen mother will not let me go to the East Palace to visit. If I can't enter the East Palace, the prince's illness will get worse."
At this time, Yang Yinjiang suddenly lowered her voice and whispered: "If something happens to the prince, will you fight?"
After saying that, she stared at her husband's face, observing the changes in his expression.
Yang Ming smiled: "As you wish."
Yang Yinjiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, put her head against Yang Ming's chest, and said quietly:
"Regardless of victory or defeat, I will accompany you through this journey. At worst, we, husband and wife, will go to hell together."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "You are so courageous."
"You are too timid to be your wife?" Yang Yinjiang smiled sweetly: "It's good that you and I know about this. Don't let Shuying and the others know about it. By the way, I should go to express my condolences to the princess the day after tomorrow."
Wei Chong's death and Wei Qiong's death were on the same day, but Yang Guang kept it secret in order to silence others. It was not until yesterday that he announced the death of the princess, and she died of illness. trip
Two deaths in one day and two deaths in three days have the same result, but the meaning is different. Two deaths in one day can easily make people think wildly.
For example, when Wei Qiong died late, people would think that he was shocked by the bad news about his father and was in poor health. He was heartbroken and failed to cope with it.
The specific department responsible for the funeral of royal family members was quite chaotic in the Sui Dynasty. It was usually the person appointed by the emperor who was responsible for the funeral.
However, during the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, Yang Jian actually had a clear stipulation: if the deceased is of the first rank, then Hongluqing will supervise the funeral, and the master of ceremonies will show the etiquette. If the second rank is passed, then Honglucheng will supervise the funeral, and the master of ceremonies will show the etiquette... ...
In other words, according to the law, Yang Ming was responsible for the funeral of Princess Qi, because the princess was a genuine person.
Yang Ming nodded: "She is my sister-in-law after all. It was my eldest brother and I who went to the Wei Mansion to welcome her. Things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that it would end today. You should also pay attention to controlling your emotions when you are angry."
Yang Yinjiang dug into her husband's arms: tripping
"I usually get angry at my servants, but I'm just pretending. Only you can make me really angry, but you have never done anything to make me angry, so where does my anger come from?"
"Okay, it's time to eat," Yang Ming moved his wife's erratic hand away and left first.
