Shi Xiang's father, Shi Ning, was a young Situ of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. All four of their brothers had titles.
The eldest brother Shi Xiong died early and was the Duke of Anzheng County. His wife was the daughter of Yu Wentai, the leader of the Guanlong Group.
The second oldest is Shi Xiang, the Duke of Yangcheng County.
The third son, Shi Yun, is now the prefect of Donglai and the Duke of Wuping County.
The fourth son, Shi Wei, was the Duke of Wudang County and General Wu Benlang of Zuobei Shen Prefecture.
Not to mention that Shi Xiang was Yang Guang's old subordinate, his eldest sister-in-law Yuwen. Although all the men in the family were killed by Yang Jian, the strength of the sisters was still there.
How terrifying is the strength? Look who they are married to.
Yuan Qin (the deposed emperor of the Western Wei Dynasty), Li Hui (the second son of Li Bi of the Eight Pillar Kingdom), Zhao Yongren (son of Zhao Gui of the Eight Pillar Kingdom), Yang Zan (the third brother of Yang Jian), Dou Yi (the father-in-law of Li Yuan), Liu Chang (I won’t talk about this), Li Ji (son of Duke Li Yuan of Li State), Liang Rui (son of Taiwei Liang Yu), Yu Yi (second uncle of Yu Zhongwen), Wei Shikang (eldest brother of Wei Chong, general manager of Jingzhou), He Ba Wei (son of He Ba Yue, the first generation leader of the Guanlong Group).
Yang Lihua had to call these women of the Yuwen family aunts, the aunts of her husband Yuwen Yun.
Yang Yin calls people grandma because her grandfather is Yu Wenyun's biological brother.
With such a complicated network of relationships, Shi Xiang will definitely be fine, as long as he doesn't offend the emperor or the people, it doesn't matter.
There are monsters in the background in Journey to the West. Which one got into trouble? That is to say, my yellow lion grandson was unlucky enough to be beaten to death by Monkey Monkey. Everyone else said: Great Sage, wait a moment.
Yuwenshu's strength is not weak either. His biological father Yuwensheng followed Yuwentai and was his absolute confidant.
"What is this for? Why did Mr. Xu beat Dalang like this?" Yang Ming looked at Yu Wenji who was lying on the stretcher in Cheng'en Palace and said with a surprised look on his face.
Don’t pretend to be stupid, we are all sensible people, let’s just speak frankly. Yuwenshu clasped his hands and said:
"My lack of discipline has caused the dog to make a big mistake. I have sent him here specially to be punished by the prince."
Yang Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Can't you understand what Mr. Xu is saying?"
Yu Wen said: "Quuzi was ordered to quell the rebellion in Hebei. Because the rebels were so powerful that they wreaked havoc in the countryside, making the people miserable, so they had no choice but to use heavy laws. There was suspicion of indiscriminate killing. When the minister heard about it, he was furious and whipped him. The prince is benevolent and loves the people. Of course I can't tolerate it, so I sent it here specially, and the prince can decide how to deal with it."
Yang Ming frowned and said: "Since Dalang is at fault, he should be sent to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment. What does it mean to send him to me?"
The Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment did not pursue the case, it was just you who held on to it, Yu Wenshu said:
"I heard that the prince punished Qu Tutong. Since Quanzi is the chief culprit, he cannot escape the crime, so I would like to ask your highness to deal with it together."
Yang Ming said with a smile: "It's different. Qu Tutong is just an accomplice. I can whip him a few times and let him vent his anger. You already said that Huaji is the culprit. I don't dare to deal with the culprit at will."
Good guy, you won’t give up, right? Yuwen said:
"The results of Hebei's suppression of the rebellion were good. As for the indiscriminate killing, no one mentioned it at the court meeting. After all, Quanzi was at fault. His fault was impatience. It was not an intentional fault. I also had selfish motives. I wanted to punish in private, so it would be easier for passers-by to pass by. Everyone knows it.”
Yang Ming smiled and said: "One person's selfishness, regardless of the life and death of all people, Xu Gong knows me. For other mistakes, for your sake, I don't care. Kill innocent people indiscriminately, and accumulate blood debts. It can be settled with a few whips." If so, will others follow suit?"
Yu Wenshu sighed and said, "I am willing to use my small contribution to pay for the dog's sin."
"This is interesting," Yang Ming said with a smile: "Just now, you said that I would let you deal with it, and now Mr. Xu wants to take the blame? You are a bit fickle."
You can't do it without being fickle. If you don't give me a step, I'm afraid you'll kill my son. This is the eldest son, and you won't give me any face?
Yu Wenshu said: "Prince, please understand me as a father."
"Of course I'm considerate!" Yang Ming said: "So I only punished Qu Tutong, not Huaji, and I didn't intend to punish him. Come on, please send him down to Huaji for treatment."
After Yu Wenhuaji was carried out, Yang Ming looked at Yu Wenshu:
"You are meritorious and have great achievements. I respect you, but your family tradition is really criticized by others. Everyone knows that Hebei needs to be comforted. Some things cannot be taken seriously. It's better for your son. After receiving the imperial edict, he What's wrong with being reckless in Hebei? You didn't kill enough in Goguryeo, so why don't you try your sword on the heads of my people in the Sui Dynasty?"
Yu Wenshu said with a face of shame: "I made a thousand mistakes. It is my fault. My descendants are dishonorable and my family's reputation has been ruined. I am ashamed of my ancestors."
Yang Ming sighed and said: "I read the memorandum from the provincial government. Three people sued your son. Your Majesty felt sorry for you and knew that it was not easy for you to be a father, so he suppressed the matter. I didn't want to deal with it. But every time I think about the souls of those who died unjustly in Hebei, I feel so sad."
Yu Wenshu didn't answer. He was waiting for the prince to continue speaking so that he could figure out what the other party wanted to do.
"The only thing that hurts a person is having no heirs. If Mr. Xu doesn't strictly control them, your three sons will not end well," Yang Ming persuaded with a sincere look.
Yu Wenshu also heard it. When you become the emperor in the future, do you plan to give me a chance to succeed?
Yu Wenshu stood up directly and knelt down towards Yang Ming: "Prince, please show your noble hand."
Yang Ming stepped down from the main seat and helped Yu Wenshu up:
"Your Majesty has already shown his noble hand, so naturally I won't care about it anymore. What is filial piety? Don't cause trouble for the father. That's filial piety. Is there something wrong with your son's head? In the future, don't leave it to him to do any important things. , leave a way out for yourself and the Yuwen family."
Yu Wenshu understood, nodded and said: "I will strictly discipline you from now on. If you do it again, I will personally eradicate this evil obstacle."
Yang Ming asked the other party to sit down: "The Ministry of War is still reviewing the battle of the expedition. There should be a result in a while. I will take a good look at it to see how Duke Xu showed his power and established this unparalleled plan. merit."
"I have no merit," Yu Wenshu said hurriedly: "It is all the fault of your majesty and the prince."
Yang Ming smiled and sat down: "Let's have dinner at my place. It seems that we rarely have such an opportunity."
"I don't get what I asked for," Yu Wenshu said with a smile, "Actually, I have been looking forward to this opportunity all along."
Yang Ming smiled and took the initiative to raise a glass to the other party: "You are good at everything, but you are troubled by your sons. When Shuyi was with you, I was grateful for your care. Gu Ye knows , always criticizing your son in front of you, you don’t like to hear it, but you need to know that good words are harsh to your ears.”
Yu Wenshu raised his glass and sighed: "What else can we do? This is it."
The elder Da Huaji was investigated for smuggling goods with the Turks when he was young. The second elder Zhiji killed someone and took his wife, but was reported by his first wife, Sun Shi. The third elder, insulted He Ruobi's body, was demoted to a slave.
What kind of things are these three?
It's not that Yang Ming wants to target them, it's just that they are too useless. You can also touch He Ruobi's body?
"I've heard a rumor, but I don't know if it's true or not," Yang Ming and Yu Wenshu chatted while eating.
Yu Wenshu: "Prince, may I ask."
Yang Ming frowned and said, "I heard that your San Lang was assassinated in Luoyang and almost lost his life?"
Yu Wenshu was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "It is indeed true. The murderer is an old member of the Duke of Song Dynasty. He came to avenge himself."
"He has a lot of old troops. When you go out in the future, you have to be careful," Yang Ming said.
Yu Wenshu sighed: "You will not live if you do your own evil, but death will be clean."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Our past grudges were all business matters. There has never been any personal grudge between you and me. Does Mr. Xu take that for granted?"
"Of course," Yu Wenshu said hurriedly: "It is well known in the whole court that the prince is not interested in people, and if there is any conflict in political opinions, it is also a matter of state, and it will not affect my sincerity towards His Highness."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "You have two daughters, one is my eldest brother's concubine, and the other is my second brother's main concubine. If you have a third daughter, I should be the one who takes the responsibility."
"I don't have this blessing," Yu Wenshu said with a bitter smile.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "You are very lucky. Both of your daughters are married to His Majesty's own children. This shows how kind His Majesty is to you. If I remember correctly, you are sixty-seven this year, right?"
"Exactly, it's rare for Your Highness to know my age," Yu Wen said.
Historically, Yu Wenshu passed away in the twelfth year of Daye, that is, four years later. Yang Guang truly loved him and gave posthumous gifts to Situ, Shangshu Ling, and the prefect of ten counties, and asked Pei Ju to pay homage to him with the ceremony of Tailao.
Having all three animals including cattle, sheep, and hogs (pigs) is called Tailao. This is the gift of the princes.
The levels of sacrifices, from high to low, are: Tailao, Shaolao, Tesheng, Teshu, Tepou, etc. Yuwen Shu regarded this as the first-class sacrificial ceremony.
It can be seen that the king and his ministers are in harmony.
It is a pity that before Yuwenshu died, Yang Guang asked him if he had anything to explain. I will do it for you. Yuwenshu replied: Huaji, the eldest son of the minister, has already reserved his residence. I hope your majesty will have mercy on him.
According to historical records, Yang Guang burst into tears when he heard about it and said: I will not forget it.
This time it's good, I reused an anti-bone guy.
Yu Wenshu was loyal, but his son became one of the most famous regicides in ancient Chinese history, directly leading to the demise of a dynasty.
It's because of this that Yang Ming is unhappy with their family. Aren't you repaying kindness with hatred? Although he knows in his heart that he cannot mix his personal emotions into politics, it is difficult to change his views.
So much so that the entire court knew that he was unhappy with Yu Wenshu.
At the same time that he was chatting with Yu Wenshu, there was also a small private party at the Duke of Chu's house.
Pei Yun came to persuade Yang Yue.
Is it easy to persuade Yang Yue? It's hard to persuade, but if someone named Pei comes to persuade him, Yang Yue will have random thoughts.
Do you really want to team up with Yu Wenshu to deal with me?
In Yang Yue's eyes, Yu Wenshu is just a minor illness, and the Pei family is a serious problem. I have to kill you in my lifetime to clear the way for my precious Yin Jiang.
He did not guess that Pei Yun persuaded him with the emperor's tacit approval, because Yang Guang was not of that character.
But this time he guessed wrong. Yang Guang didn't take him seriously, but he would not take his own grandson seriously.
Under the influence of his mother and concubine, Yang Rui kissed Yang Yue.
