The days went by like this, and until the end of March, Yang Guang did not mention the Western Inspection.
He would wait until Yang Ming's canonization ceremony was over and the matter in Hebei was resolved before he could go on the road with peace of mind. After all, the Western Tour would cost a huge amount of money, and it was not Yang Guang's character to carry out the Western Tour with a huge debt.
After Yang Wanshi was escorted back to Beijing, he was scolded by Yang Guang in the court hall.
On the contrary, Yang Xuangan and Yang Wensi were very happy, because the harder the emperor scolded, the lighter the punishment. If the emperor didn't even bother to scold you, then things would get worse.
Gao Shengdao was fine, but the Bohai prefect refused to let him do it. He was transferred back to the capital and went to Chang'an County as the county magistrate. This is a very important position, equivalent to the governor of Haidian District.
The fifth day of April is the crown prince canonization ceremony.
This etiquette is very solemn. At the same time, the famous mountains and rivers all over the Sui Dynasty will also hold god sacrificial ceremonies, which means to tell the gods of the mountains and rivers what the name of the Crown Prince of the Sui Dynasty is. You will deal with this person in the future, and you must protect the prince well. .
Maybe Huang He will make some complaints: I hope this kid won't be like his father, poaching me at every turn.
Yang Ming took all his female relatives and four sons, starting from the Zhuque Gate, and walked towards the palace step by step.
The ceremonial guard team is extremely large, and the rituals and music are singing together.
Hundreds of officials lined up on both sides of the square to pay tribute to Yang Ming's family. In fact, they just bowed slightly, without having to kneel down.
The prince is called Chaohe, and the emperor is called Chaohe.
Later, Yang Guang and Empress Xiao, who were standing outside Daxing Hall, would take Yang Ming and others to the Ancestral Temple to worship their ancestors and tell them by the way that there would be successors to the Sui Dynasty.
The whole ceremony was extremely complicated, and every step had its own explanation. Several Taizhus from Taichang Temple were also guiding him. The most famous monks and Taoists in the Sui Dynasty would perform other rituals for Yang Ming.
Master Lingzang of Zhaoxuantong Buddhism conferred Bodhisattva vows on Yang Ming, and his name was Bodhisattva Protecting the Right Dharma.
The great majesty of the Taoist sect, Yi Yan Da Zhenren, gave Yang Ming a seven-star peach wood sword, a thunder seal, and a clean board. The clean board was a magical weapon used to issue orders in accordance with the edict of the Sanqing Dynasty.
These three things look very ordinary, but they are Taoist artifacts. It is a pity that this was in the Sui Dynasty, not Daqian, otherwise Yang Ming could have gone to cultivate immortality.
Buddhist and Taoist rituals are indispensable, because Yang Ming must not only be recognized by the emperor, but also by the Buddha and Taoist ancestors, so that the common people will feel, eh, this is the chosen one.
In the evening, there are ceremonies.
The main hall of the East Palace is called Cheng'en Hall, but Yang Yong, Yang Guang, and Yang Zhao do not handle government affairs here because this hall is too far to the north. However, the Feng Shui location determines that this is the main hall.
Yang Ming had to follow Tai Zhu into the palace to perform some ceremonies, to the effect of telling the gods that I am here to live, and you should protect me from now on.
The entire canonization ceremony lasted from midnight in the morning to midnight in the evening.
Then Yang Ming chose the Guangtian Palace as his dormitory, and there were opinions on where the remaining family members would live. Anyway, everyone would live far away from each other.
"Go to bed early. The crown princess will be crowned tomorrow." Yang Ming and Yang Yinjiang lived in Nuo University's dormitory, and they were a little uncomfortable for a while.
It's too big here, so the echo is loud. When I'm shy, I'm afraid it can be heard outside.
Yang Yinjiang must not be able to sleep, because tomorrow is her most important day.
The next day, Yang Ming went to the court meeting alone. His concubine and son dressed up early and waited in the East Palace for canonization.
In the main hall, Gao Ye held the imperial edict and read loudly:
"Yu Wen's family is gentle, courteous, and gentle. She has the qualities of Huirou, softness, brightness, and virtue. She has the beauty of peace and justice. She is the Crown Princess. She prepares etiquette and orders, and the master carries them out."
"The servant on your right shoots Pei, the eldest daughter of Pei Ju. She wears the Xuan Mian at her door. She has a righteous family tradition. She is submissive and dignified. She is dignified and Rui. She is gentle and graceful. She deeply comforts my heart and canonize her as the crown prince's side concubine."
"Li, the eldest daughter of Li Yuan in Longxi, is skillful, generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. She is canonized as the crown prince Liangdi."
"Mr. Chen, the daughter of Chen Shubao of Yingchuan, is Shushen by nature, diligent and submissive. Yonghe Chuchun enthroned the crown prince Liangdi."
"The grandson of Hongnong Yanrong, the daughter of Baoshou, the Yan family, has a gentle nature, a submissive inner discipline, and the title of Prince Liangyuan with a seal of virtue."
"The daughter of Jingzhao Wei Zhen, Wei Shi, has a quiet and soft appearance, a light body, graceful and quiet, and a leisurely nature. She is canonized as the prince Liangyuan."
Next, the crown prince Yang Rui attacked the King of Qin. Yang Jin was still the King of Xingyang, Yang Qi was the King of Luoyang, and Yang Cong was the King of Jiangxia.
Yang Ming's four sons, three of whom are county princes, seem to be not as strong as Yang Zhao's sons. In fact, this is in line with tradition and must be distinguished from the eldest son. To put it bluntly, it weakens Yang Jin and others and promotes Yang Rui's status.
Then, Yang Yinjiang first led the female family members into the palace to thank them, but the ministers did not kneel.
But when Yang Rui and the others came in, they had to kneel down, because they were the grandsons of the emperor, the masters of this world, and the successors of the Yang family dynasty.
Yang Xuangan kowtowed to his grandson, which made him feel elated.
Pei Ju was somewhat unhappy.
From now on, Yang Ming and his family will live in the East Palace. From now on, they will live under Yang Guang's nose, so they will have no freedom.
No matter what he does in the future, it will not be easy to hide it from Yang Guang.
Yang Jian was also present today. His face was expressionless from beginning to end. If his eyes weren't open, he would have looked like a dead person.
After the court meeting, Yang Ming went to Zuo Beishen Mansion.
After Li Yuan went to Jinyang, the general of Zuo Beishen Mansion was now Zhang Jin. It was very necessary for Yang Ming to have a good relationship with this person now.
"No need to be formal, just sit down."
In the general room, Yang Ming asked Zhang Jin to sit down, and then he sat in the seat that originally belonged to Zhang Jin.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "When I go to court in the future, I have to go through the Tongxun Gate, pass through Quy Nhon Gate, Jiade Gate, Daxing Gate, and enter Daxing Palace to participate in the court meeting. Who is in charge of the four gates in total?"
Yang Ming was not used to calling himself an orphan, so he still called himself me.
Zhang Jin wondered: "This route is far away and quite inconvenient. Why doesn't Your Highness consider taking the Xuanwu Gate?"
I'm afraid of that place. Yang Ming said: "If you don't like going out of the city, it doesn't hurt to walk a little longer. It's just a matter of getting up a few minutes earlier."
Zhang Jin nodded and said: "These four gates are all under the control of Weber, who is under the command of General Yang Qing of the Right Prison Gate Mansion. He is in charge of guarding the gates and patrolling the entrances and exits."
The largest palace gate checkpoint in the Sui Dynasty was the line in the middle of the north and south, because all officials came in from here, and the left and right prison gates were responsible for monitoring your entry and exit, and everything you brought was checked.
The imperial palace is divided into two parts: the imperial city and the palace city. The imperial city is where the yamen of all central institutions are located. The Suzaku Gate entering the imperial city and the Zhaoyang Gate entering the palace are the two largest city gates. Generally, the chief general himself Sit down.
The four gates that Yang Ming wanted to go through were all in the palace city. There were only dozens of people in each gate at most. He didn't like that the leader of the prison gate in this place was named Wei, and he was also the Duke of Xunguo on the side of the Crown Princess.
"I don't know this Weber Zhong. Go and call Dugu Huaien here," Yang Ming said.
The general of the right prison gate is Dugu Huaien. He is only twenty-six years old this year. He is the son of Dugu Zheng, the seventh son of Dugu Xin.
In the Sui Dynasty, for those who held important positions at a young age, in most cases there were only two possibilities, either your surname was Yang, or you were a relative surnamed Yang, and this Dugu Huaien was the cousin of Yang Guang and Li Yuan.
This kid was raised by Dugu Jialuo for two years when he was a child. He and Yang Ming were childhood friends, but after they grew up, they didn't have much contact.
This is due to personality, or the Dugu family is always unscrupulous. Dugu Huaien has never thought of currying favor with Yang Ming, nor has he thought of currying favor with anyone. He has always lived in his own world.
After a while, Zhang Jin went to find Dugu Huaien.
This boy is easy to find, either at home, at the Youjianmen Mansion, or at the iron smelting yard in Yundingxing on the outskirts of Beijing.
Because his hobbies are the same as Yang Yong's, he likes weapons and armor. His biggest wish in life is to create another pair of Shu armor. For this reason, his wife gave him three daughters, and he is not in a hurry to have a son.
"What are you doing with me?" After Dugu Huaien came in, he stood there stiffly and spoke in the same tone as a question.
This is his character. If there was no one in the Dugu family, Yang Guang would never put him in such an important place.
This man is a typical straight man.
Yang Ming waved his hand, motioning Zhang Jin to go out, then pointed to the chair opposite and said:
"Sit down, why are you standing there?"
Then, Dugu Huaien didn't even say a word and sat down as a matter of course.
According to seniority, Yang Ming has to call people cousin.
"For the general guarding the line from Tongxun Gate to Daxing Palace, please replace him with someone else," Yang Ming said.
Dugu Huaien said blankly: "Webber is doing a good job again, why do you need to change?"
Look, he actually asked Yang Ming?
Yang Ming said helplessly: "I just want you to find someone else for me, because I will take this route to attend court meetings in the future."
"Oh," Dugu Huaien said, "Then I can't change it."
Yang Ming was stunned and said: "Why can't you change it?"
Dugu Huaien grinned and said: "The imperial palace is such an important place that all personnel changes require His Majesty's consent. How can I do this?"
Good guy, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? I asked you to change someone, which means that you can ask the emperor to change the prison orders of these gates to someone else. Who asked you to change them privately?
Talking to straight men is hard.
Yang Ming drooped his face and continued: "You find someone named Yang or Pei from the Youjianmen Mansion and change it to Wei. Go and tell His Majesty yourself that you want to change it."
Dugu Huaien asked in confusion: "What happened to the one named Wei?"
Are you talking a little too much nonsense? Yang Ming slammed the table and said, "Just do it if I ask you to do it."
Dugu Huaien was not afraid of Yang Ming. After all, the two had played together since they were children, so he asked again:
"If His Majesty asks why it needs to be changed, what should I say?"
I'm sorry. Do you still want me to teach you about this? Yang Ming was speechless and said, "Wouldn't it be better to adjust the gate guards?"
"Your Majesty, if you ask, why are the access controls adjusted?" Dugu Huaien asked doubtfully.
Me.
Yang Ming finally said patiently: "Just say that Weber is too temperamental and not stable enough. Let him go somewhere else."
"Oh, okay," Dugu Huaien nodded: "I'll take care of the little things for you."
Do you also know that it is a small thing? It almost became a big deal by you.
Yang Ming shook his head speechlessly, glared at the other person, stood up and left.
