Changsun Xingbu is now led by the Right Military Attendant of the East Palace, but unfortunately, he has to mourn, and the period of mourning is three years.
In other words, within three years, he will not be able to take up a post in the East Palace.
Being recalled during the mourning period is called seizing love, or seizing clothes, and is generally not recalled. After all, the Sui Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety.
However, there is a precedent for this in the Sui Dynasty. During the Kaihuang period, Yang Jian recalled seven people, including Gao Jiong, who was in a situation where he could not do without you.
Yang Ming will definitely not recall Changsun Xingbu and Changsun Wuji, because neither of them is at the point where they can't survive without you.
Changsun Sheng's hometown is in Luoyang, and his coffin will be sent back to Luoyang for burial.
The four eldest grandson brothers, including Gao's mother and daughter, have to return to Luoyang for mourning. If they want to see each other again, they have to wait until twenty-five months.
Why twenty-five months?
Because mourning is nominally three years, it actually lasts twelve months a year, two years and twenty-four months, and one more month would be the third year.
This problem was also invented by those powerful bosses, because they were afraid that they would be away for too long and would have no place when they came back.
So gradually, three years of observing filial piety turned into twenty-five months of observing filial piety. One extra month equals one extra year.
Look at the wisdom of the ancients, or say that many things in later generations are leftovers from the ancients?
Yang Ming specially asked Yang Rui to see off Changsun Wuji, because Yang Ming didn't need Changsun Wuji. He kept this person for his son.
So Yang Ming was planning to let his son Yang Rui marry his eldest grandson Wugou, but this idea was flatly rejected by Yang Yinjiang.
"I won't even consider it if Chang Sun Sheng is alive, let alone if he is dead." Yang Yinjiang looked down on the Chang Sun family at all, and frowned, "Not to mention Chang Sun Sheng, not even Chang Sun Chi."
The only member of the Changsun family who is still supportive is Changsun Chi, the Minister of Punishment, who is Changsun Sheng's biological brother.
Is Shangshu great? Yang Yinjiang felt that it was not remarkable at all. Their family could just produce a minister.
In the room, Yang Ming smiled and said: "Yang Rui is also five years old this year. It is time to plan early which family he will marry. Even if the other party is not able to do it right now, I can help."
"But Changsun's family is really not qualified." Yang Yinjiang knew her husband's character. Once he had a certain thought, it would be difficult for others to change, so she took the initiative to give in and said: "The daughter of Changsun Sheng can be a side concubine. The principal concubine wants to Don’t even think about it, Rui’er is the direct eldest son, and except for Wei, Li, Pei, Liu, Yuan and Cui, the others are not worthy of him.”
Yang Ming didn't want to argue with her. After all, given the current conditions of the eldest grandson Wugou, it was really unrealistic to marry the crown prince's eldest son. Not to mention Yang Yinjiang's objection, Yang Guang and his wife would also object, and Manchu officials would even object. .
Because Yang Rui is so popular now, many aristocratic families are already eyeing him, and many people are stepping up to have daughters, giving birth to daughters instead of sons, just to be able to match Yang Rui.
"Let's talk about it then. After all, Yang Rui is still young," Yang Ming said lightly.
Yang Yinjiang was stunned. You just said that you are too young and you need to plan early. I don't agree with the eldest granddaughter, so you immediately changed your mind?
"I hope it's the daughter of the Pei family," Yang Yinjiang said, "You know why I chose this."
You know, this is a good way to resolve the gap between Yang and Pei and gain the support of the Pei family, but there are not many important people in the Pei family now.
Yang Yinjiang continued: "Pei Ji, Pei Yun, Pei Qiantong, Pei Renji, Pei Hongce, Pei Xian, Pei Luo, Pei Xizai, Pei Shiqing, these can all be considered. It doesn't matter what their current official position is, as long as their surname is Pei. "
If you are not a big official, you can be supported, but your background cannot be changed.
What your surname is, is really important in the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Ming didn't want to make such a hasty decision about his son's future marriage partner, so he said:
"Yang Rui's marriage is a top priority. We still don't know what the future holds. We'll have to wait and see."
Marriage has political intentions. Yang Yinjiang's current choice of Pei is actually to dispel Pei Ju's thoughts and create divisions within the Pei family.
Yang Ming's concern is that who will be the most powerful person in the court in the future has changed due to the situation, and no one can tell now.
Yang Rui's marriage is very important, and its final result must be to bring the greatest benefits to Yang Rui. Obviously, the benefits of marrying the Pei family are very small at present, because Yang Ming is here, and the Pei family is completely loyal to the East Palace.
And whose loyalty Yang Rui will need in the future, how can he predict now?
After convincing Yang Yinjiang for a long time, the idea of the other party was temporarily given up, but the matter of Changsun Wugou being Yang Rui's concubine was finally settled.
During dinner, Yang Rui took the initiative to talk about Changsun Wuji.
"Auntie, can you lend me a house, and then I can lend it to Wuji?"
Yang Rui was holding chopsticks in his mouth when he spoke. Seeing this, Yang Yinjiang raised her chopsticks and knocked Yang Rui's chopsticks off:
"How can I behave properly if I don't look like I'm eating?"
Yang Rui frowned and said, "My question has not been answered yet."
"Why do I have to answer you?" Yang Yinjiang said, "Whether I answer you or not is my business."
Yang Rui got angry, put down his chopsticks and pouted, "No wonder grandpa always said that grandma is the most rude."
"Who? He dares to talk about me behind my back?" Yang Yinjiang simply stopped eating and said in a feigned rage: "How old are you? Do you know what etiquette is?"
Yang Rui chuckled: "If people are rude, nothing will happen. If things are rude, nothing will happen. If a country is rude, it will be restless. If I ask my mother a question and she doesn't answer, I am rude."
Yang Yinjiang chuckled and said: "There is a saying in "Shang Shu": You dare not be unfilial. You are being unfilial by saying that your biological mother is rude."
"Okay, okay," Yang Ming interrupted the conversation between mother and son and said, "The more you two talk, the more outrageous it becomes."
Yang Yinjiang curled her lips and smiled, and continued to pick up the food: "The house has plenty, but I won't give it to you."
Yang Rui was angry: "I heard from Shimin that the year I was born, I was granted the title of King of Hedong. Why haven't I seen the taxes in Hedong? Did my mother-in-law take it? Give me the money, and I will Go buy it.”
Okay, want money from me, right? Yang Yinjiang said directly: "Isn't this all money for your food and clothing? The little tax in Hedong has been spent long ago."
Yang Rui has no idea about money at the moment. He has no idea what the purchasing power of money is because he has never used money, so after hearing his mother's words, he remained silent.
Wei Cheng and Xue Daoheng had not yet had time to teach him weights and measures.
He thought that he had really spent all the money on food and drink.
"Yang Rui needs to have a concept about money now," Yang Mingxun said: "You can't lie to him like this."
Yang Yinjiang suppressed a smile.
Yang Ming looked at his son and continued: "Your mother-in-law has saved Hedong's money for you, and will give it to you in the future, as will the parents who gave birth to you. Don't talk to your mother-in-law in this tone in the future."
Yang Rui was afraid of his father, so he nodded when he heard this and sat down obediently without saying a word.
"You stand outside the door now. As a punishment, you won't be allowed to eat tonight," Yang Ming said in a deep voice.
Yang Yinjiang was stunned for a moment. She looked up and saw her son standing up obediently and going to stand at the door. She felt heartbroken. She turned to Yang Ming and whispered:
"A loving mother is a loser. I can't do anything to Rui'er now. I'll have to rely on you to discipline him in the future."
Yang Ming frowned and said, "If you want your son to inherit the family business, you'd better do it aggressively."
Yang Yinjiang was stunned and nodded. Who knew that at this moment, Yang Rui at the door suddenly turned his head and said:
"What about the house?"
"No!" Yang Ming immediately threw his chopsticks and said, "Take him away from me."
Nuan Dong Liang Xia snickered and went out and took Yang Rui away.
Yang Qi will not eat with Yang Ming and his wife, because this boy is three years old now, which is the age that even cats and dogs find disgusting. Bring food with you.
Yang Ming pondered for a moment and said: "We don't need to give favors to Changsun Wuji, but Yang Rui needs it, so the house must give it, but we must find a proper way to let Changsun Wuji understand Yang Rui's kindness to him."
Yang Yinjiang was stunned and nodded: "This is simple. Rui'er is a stubborn person. If I can't do it, he will definitely think of other ways. He has the closest relationship with Ayun Shuyi, so he will definitely ask them for help. Ayun Shuyi has the closest relationship. Yun will ask for our opinion, so it won’t work on her side. Only Shuyi is soft-hearted and may secretly help him with this favor.”
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Shuyi doesn't have a house in the capital?"
"Why not?" Yang Yinjiang said: "After Chen Shubao died, his house in Daxing was left to his fourth son Chen Yuan. With Shuyi's help, Chen Yuan went to serve as the prefect of Pouhan County. Before leaving, he had The house is given to Shuyi."
Chen Yuan is the fourth son of Chen Shubao. His biological mother is the famous beauty Zhang Lihua. During the Chen Dynasty, Chen Shubao deposed his eldest son Chen Yin as the crown prince and made Chen Yuan the crown prince. Therefore, Chen Shubao's family fortune is naturally Chen Yuan inherited.
Chen Yuan's name in history was Chen Shen, because he wanted to avoid the taboo of Li Yuan's name.
Panhan County is not a good place. It has four counties under its jurisdiction and is located in the northwest border. Yang Ming once stationed there when he attacked Tuyuhun.
After all, the old Chen family in the south is from the old Chen family. It is not easy to be a governor in a good place. The current arrangement can be said to be very suitable because you have been a governor. In the future, it will be much easier to be transferred to Shangjunzhongjun. After all, Yang Ming is there. Well.
Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh and said: "Chen Shubao's house has the specifications of a county official, and it is also the former residence of his late father. Shuyi may not be willing to part with it."
"Even if she lets go, I won't agree," Yang Yinjiang said:
"Shuyi has helped the clan a lot over the years. Now that the Chen family has risen, as long as she opens her mouth, many people will give her houses. I can also put a few houses under Shuyi's name in advance, and wait until Shuyi We gave it to Rui'er, and after Rui'er gave it to our eldest grandson, we pretended to be furious, gave Yang Rui a good beating and put him in solitary confinement, so that our eldest grandson Wuji would know that Rui'er had to eat a lot in order to build a house for him. Less pain.”
Yang Ming clapped his hands and laughed: "Good idea, let's do it."
