When Yang Ming rushed to Tang Guogong's mansion, the child had already fallen to the ground.
Mrs. Li Yuan, Mrs. Dou, was both happy and unhappy. She was happy that her eldest daughter-in-law could give birth to a baby, but she was unhappy that the baby was a daughter.
Yang Yinjiang is very capable. A group of big bosses from the Imperial Medical Office who are best at taking care of the doctors were all sent by Yang Yinjiang. Therefore, Pei Xi’s mother and child are safe, and the person who delivered her was a stable woman from the Imperial Medical Office. Mr. Dou rewarded him with fifty pieces of silk and two jewels on the spot.
Yang Ming was in the front hall, drinking with Pei Yun, Li Chen and others.
"His Royal Highness Labor is here, I am so grateful," Pei Yun raised his glass to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming also raised a toast: "Ayun was the one who brought Jiancheng and your daughter together back then. She is more anxious than me. She has been visiting Pei Xi in Tang Gong's Mansion frequently in the past six months. The deep love between sisters is evident."
Pei Yun was in charge of the Yushitai, and logically he should follow Yang Guang to Luoyang, but because he had just returned, many things he had inspected in Hebei had not yet been contacted by the Shangshu Province, so he did not leave.
Part of the reason was because Yang Guang knew that her daughter had finally become pregnant and was about to give birth, so she asked him to stay and take care of her daughter.
Pei Yun was truly grateful to Yang Ming. First of all, his daughter and Jiancheng were brought together by someone else. Secondly, they helped her get pregnant smoothly. How could he not know these secrets.
Besides, my son Pei Shuang is now someone else's most powerful person.
Moreover, the eldest brother Pei Ju had mentioned something to him in private. If this thing could come true, he would be completely devoted to Yang Ming.
Pei Yun smiled and said: "Buddhists pay attention to marriage. The prince is undoubtedly the most noble person in Jiancheng and our daughter's life. If the prince will not give up, how about giving the child a name?"
It was hard for Yang Ming to refuse when someone brought this up, because the relationship between the prince and the ministers was not only official, but also needed to establish a personal relationship, so that the relationship between the two parties could be stable.
But to be honest, Yang Ming is not very good at naming, but he also knows that no matter how bad his name is, Pei Yun can only grit his teeth and admit it, even though she is the daughter of the Li family.
The Sui Dynasty didn't pay much attention to girls. If they named a boy, who would Pei Yun dare to be Li Yuan's master?
Most girls' names are very random and confusing. There are very few names like Changsun Wugou and Zheng Guanyin.
Yang Ming himself has an aunt named Yang Awu.
After thinking about it, Yang Ming simply said: "Your Majesty's "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" contains poems: The night dew contains the spirit of flowers, the moonlight shines on the spring pool, a wandering girl meets the Han River, and there are two concubines in Xiangchuan, so let's call her Li Yuehui. What do you think, Doctor Pei?"
Pei Yun was stunned and said with great joy: "The meaning of this poem is: Under the moonlight, I am destined to meet the goddess of the Han River and the goddess of the Xiang River, Nv'e Huang Nvying. A good mood and a good name."
He was flattering, and the name was actually not a good one. In other words, whatever Yang Ming named him might not be good to him, but it was an honor to give him a name, especially one named after the emperor's poem.
So Pei Yun was very happy. The girl's name was not important in the first place, but who named it was important.
After a meal of wine, Yang Ming left Li Yuan's house. Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying didn't come at all, because there is a saying that pregnant women are not allowed to see their mothers for fear of being irritated.
But after returning to the palace, Pei Shuying's suggestion made Yang Ming fall into silence for an instant.
She hoped to set a marriage for Yang Jin, the one Yang Ming had just named.
"You wouldn't mention this kind of thing without reason," Yang Ming frowned and said, "Who taught you this?"
Pei Shuying was also honest: "My father is interested, and so am I. After all, Pei Xi is not an outsider."
What the hell are you trying to do? Pei Ju, Pei Ju, what on earth do you want to do?
Yang Ming said flatly: "It's too early to talk about this matter now. Yang Jin is only five years old and he was just born."
"Can we make an appointment in private? We'll see if the reconstruction is completed. Pei Xi and I are sisters in the clan. Isn't this a good arrangement?" Pei Shuying said with a smile.
Yang Ming shook his head and said: "Let's discuss this matter later. We still don't know what the future will be like. It is not a good idea to arrange Yang Jin's marriage early."
Pei Shuying did not persuade her anymore, but nodded: "Okay, it's up to you. Let's talk about it in the future."
Yang Ming stroked his wife's back and talked softly. He knew that Pei Shuying's thoughts must be simple, but Pei Ju was not.
If Yang Jin marries Jiancheng's daughter, he will undoubtedly get the full support of Longxi Li and Hedong Pei. This is not a good thing for Yang Rui.
Yang Ming would not engage Yang Jin while Yang Rui's marriage was undecided. Otherwise, the seemingly easing relationship between the Yang and Pei families would cause problems at any time.
It is difficult for an upright official to stop his family affairs, let alone his family's great business.
This time to build the Chi Road, the manpower recruitment was still in the north. However, in order to relieve the pressure on Hebei, Yang Ming increased the manpower recruitment in Guanzhong and Shanxi a lot. He also told Zhang Heng not to rush to build it, but to take it slow. The court would do its best. To ensure the food supply, Zhang Heng only needs to ensure the production safety of the people.
Originally, Zhang Heng's power was very small, but Yang Ming gave him a great deal of authority. Yang Ming was worried about the general master craftsman Huangfu Yi, so he planned to remain aloof.
From Yulin to Zhuojun, along the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, the terrain is mostly flat, which greatly reduces the difficulty of the project. That is, when encountering some rivers, some bridges need to be built. The overall project is not difficult for the craftsmen.
This is also the simplest project since Comrade Yang Guang took office.
At dusk, Yang Ming liked to wander around the imperial city. Occasionally he would go to various government offices to see what the guards were doing.
Gradually, many people became aware of his habit, so much so that they chose not to go home after get off work, hoping to meet the prince in the imperial city.
If you are a mediocre person, you will definitely not like to see your leader, but if you are a progressive person, you will definitely find ways to get close to your leader.
Yang Ming ordered the servants to be careful. After the time of the emperor, some unimportant places in the imperial city should not light lamps. This was known as: frugality.
In fact, this little lamp oil is not a waste of much money. Yang Ming did this just to show off. Because he is frugal, the people below him will also pretend to be frugal.
This evening, just after sunset, Yang Ming was walking in the imperial city as usual. After going around the various government offices, he would return to the East Palace from Tongxun Gate.
Cui Zhongfang, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yang Wensi, Minister Zuocheng, Yang Wang, the young minister of Dali Temple, Cui Junsu, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Gao Shengdao of Menxia Province, and Yun Dingxing, the young minister of Taifu Temple, followed Yang Ming, chatting about something that interested Yang Ming. topic of.
All the yamen are also used to this, and they work overtime honestly. After the prince leaves, those who should get off work will get off work, and those who should be on duty will be on duty.
"Shenshi has passed long ago, why haven't they left yet? Can any of you explain this to me?" Yang Ming smiled behind him.
Because Cui Zhongfang was old, he did not follow him to Luoyang. Hearing this, he stepped forward and said with a smile:
"It's all because the prince is on patrol and doesn't dare to leave the duty."
When commuting in the Sui Dynasty, in spring and summer, Maozheng entered the palace, and Shenzheng went off duty in the afternoon. In autumn and winter, Maozheng went to work and Shenchu left work.
Mao Shi is from 5 to 7 a.m., and Shen Shi is from 3 to 5 p.m., which means it is early to go to work and early to leave work.
But now, it was already past 6 o'clock, Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh:
"They are perfunctory and pretentious. Let them all go. As long as they don't slack off in official duties during their duties, there is no need to pretend in front of me."
Cui Zhongfang quickly gave Yang Wensi a wink, and the latter went to Shangshu Province to greet everyone to get off work.
In fact, no one would take the initiative to work overtime, that is to say, they, the big guys, would practice it, which would lead to effective deeds.
In the imperial city, there are thousands of officials who have no hope of promotion. They all belong to the lay-down faction. How can they like to work overtime?
"What about you? Why do I keep seeing you lately? Are you on duty every day?" Yang Ming smiled and said, "Is it possible that the food in the imperial city is better than that at home?"
Yang Wang smiled and said: "Recently, the government affairs have been heavy, and there are some things that I can't finish, so I really have no intention of returning home."
Others also agreed, basically using this excuse.
It's probably half true and half false. After all, Chi Road is being built in the north right now, and some departments are really busy, such as Yun Dingxing.
Yan Bi, the minister of Taifu Temple, was on his way to plan the route, so all the tools needed for the work had to be prepared by Yun Dingxing, the young minister.
All the equipment built by Taifu Temple were not given to migrant workers for free, but sold to migrant workers, because the Great Sui Dynasty had always recruited civilian workers to prepare their own tools.
In engineering, the loss of tools is extremely huge, so what should migrant workers do without their tools? Spend money on it.
"You all should stop following me. I'll chat with Yun Shaoqing for a while," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Only those who have no vision will stay, so everyone left one after another, leaving only Yun Dingxing alone, following Yang Ming.
"The prices of the equipment and tools ahead will be halved, and the shortfall will be made up by the treasury," Yang Ming said calmly.
Yun Dingxing nodded and said: "Your Highness is worried about the people, which makes me ashamed."
"Since you are so embarrassed, you should take the initiative to mention some things to me instead of me having to explain them to you," Yang Ming said solemnly.
He was hinting to Yun Dingxing to try to figure out my wishes when doing things in the future. You see I am very frugal, do you have to be frugal too? I cherish the people, you must and should do the same?
If you come with me, we can talk about anything. If you go against me, haha.
Yun Dingxing hurriedly said: "The prince's love for the people is known to all the world. I must remember it at all times and dare not slack off in the slightest."
"By the way, have you seen your daughter in recent years?" Yang Ming said.
Yun Dingxing was stunned, and quickly knelt down and said: "I have made a clear relationship with her. There is no personal relationship. I hope the prince will learn from it."
"Lies!" Yang Ming chuckled and said, "How did I hear that you privately curry favor with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, hoping that they would send some lighter labor to the Yun family?"
Yun Dingxing pretended to be trembling, "Okay, you have caught me. Don't tell me sooner or later. Now tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
"I was confused for a moment. I hope the prince will forgive me," Yun Dingxing said.
Yang Ming waved his sleeves: "Not guilty!"
Then he turned to look at Yun Dingxing and said: "The feeling of licking a calf is a matter of human ethics. Your Majesty also knows about this, but he didn't say anything to you. This shows your majesty's benevolence and righteousness."
"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and the Prince is also benevolent and righteous," Yun Dingxing said hurriedly.
Yang Ming smiled: "After so many years, do you want to meet her?"
Yun Dingxing trembled all over and looked at Yang Ming in disbelief.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "This time, I want to hear the truth."
"My lord, thank you for your great kindness, Prince," Yun Dingxing cried and kowtowed.
This old boy could cruelly suggest that Yang Guang kill his own grandson because he and his grandson really had no relationship, but it was different with his own daughter.
But it was definitely not as exaggerated as he was acting at the moment. Yang Ming knew that this old boy was really a ruthless person. He came from a poor family and got to the point where he was a ruthless person.
"Come with me," Yang Ming led the way, changing the route to Yeting Palace.
