Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 97 Eating Soft Rice

Gao Jiong was an absolute important minister, a founding father, and Dugu Jialuo's number one confidant. Although he was dismissed from office, no one dared to look down on him.

Because being an official is for the sake of Gao Jiong, even if he is idle at home, he has a higher status in Yang Jian's heart than some high-ranking officials in the court.

The relationship between the monarch and his ministers has been 20 years, and Gao Jiong has not committed the crime of treason, so everyone agrees that Gao Jiong will return to the court in the future.

Isn't Solvay like that?

But Yuan Min is different. He was targeted by the two county kings of the Jin Palace. The wrong is not the same.

In the future, with Jin Wang pressing down, Yuan Min basically couldn't get up.

Now, there is only a left guard general, and it is not easy to find a suitable person for this position.

At present, there is no meritorious or qualified person to take over, so Yang Jian finally appointed Jin Wang Yang Guang.

Yang Guang was really interesting, he struck while the iron was hot, and directly recommended Li Yuan as the general of the Zuowei Mansion, filling the position of Li Ci, the dead ghost of Zhuquemen.

Li Yuan and Li Ci are both from the Li family in Longxi, but they are not from one branch.

Normally speaking, Li Yuan's qualifications are far from enough to be a military general, because he has no military merits.

But after Yang Guang said it at the court meeting, no one objected. After all, Li Yuan had worked as Yang Jian's bodyguard and was Dugu Jialuo's nephew.

The qualifications are not enough, the background is enough.

Li Yuan's Xingyang County is Zhongshang County, according to the system, it is the fifth rank, and the general of the Weifu is from the third rank, which means that he has been promoted to two ranks at once, and the key is to stay in Beijing.

Presumably, after Li Yuan knew about it, his butt could laugh. Yang Guang helped him a lot.

Don't think that Li Yuan is Empress Dugu's nephew, he can easily meet Empress Dugu, it's far from it.

Dugu Jialuo still has a bunch of children and grandchildren who can't take care of him, how can he think of you as a nephew?It's almost the same as Li Yuan's mother, but it's much easier to meet sisters.

Unfortunately, Li Yuan's mother has passed away.

After Li Yuan was named General Zuowei, Yang Ming was quite excited, because in this way, Shimin's son would not be far away from entering Beijing.

Compared with completion, Yang Ming is obviously looking forward to the latter.

On the way home, Gao Hongde sighed bitterly in the car:

"Why is father like this? What has this matter to do with you, why do you have to be strong?"

Gao Jiong was dismissed from office, but he looked relaxed, and he didn't take his son's resentment to heart.

He has been working under Dugu Xin's tent since he was a child, and he has friendship with Queen Dugu Jialuonai as a young man.

So he knew in his heart that once Dugu Empress was determined to abolish the prince, he would never be able to win back the other party's heart no matter what.

It's up to people to make things happen, the prince himself is not good enough, and his parents dislike him, so no one can help him.

Su Wei, Niu Hong and the others have now made it clear that they are neutral, and He Ruobi's foolishness has obviously favored King Jin. Coupled with the St. Empress' fanning the flames, the prince's power is gone.

Now, although the second sage didn't say it clearly, Yi Chu will be within this year, and he has done his best to resist this time on behalf of the prince.

Being idle at home is not necessarily a bad thing, and the battle for future reserves will not implicate myself.

As long as Gao Jiong lives for a day, he can keep his daughter and third son Gao Biaoren.

His daughter is the crown prince's concubine. She gave birth to a son, Yang Ke, king of Xiangcheng, and Gao Biaoren, the third son, who married the crown prince's daughter, Princess Daning.

Faced with his son's complaints, Gao Jiong didn't say a word.

But after a long time, he seemed to suddenly think of something, frowned and said:
"I think Yang Ming's son is a good man in the city, and he has a keen eye for things. You are a good friend in the palace, not only for yourself, but also for the sake of your family."

Gao Hongde sighed bitterly and nodded: "Hedong Wang's concubine has been appointed, she is the Dugu family of Luoyang, and the empress favors her, which can be seen."

Gao Jiong frowned and said, "I heard that the daughter of Xuangan is very close to Yang Ming?"

"That's right," Gao Hongde said: "It is said that the two met each other during a spring outing, and their friendship gradually deepened. Now, Nv Yang is a frequent visitor to the palace."

Gao Jiong suddenly looked puzzled,
This woman was assigned to Henan Wang Yang Zhao as a side concubine at first, but later the Holy Empress withdrew her will.

He knew what happened during this period, but what he didn't know was what Yang Nu said when she met the Holy Queen, which caused the always assertive Holy Queen to change her mind.

As for Zhangchou Taiyi's statement that this woman is not suitable to be a concubine, it is pure nonsense.

Based on his understanding of Dugu Jialuo, this cross talk is just to make up for it.

Gao Jiong was shocked all of a sudden.
Is there a possibility that Yang Nv's face saint was actually Yang Ming's idea behind his back, and the two of them had long since had that kind of affection, so they would take the risk to do so.

If this is the case, the intelligence of this child is really unbelievable.

He's only 12 years old
In fact, he thinks highly of Yang Ming too much, this matter is completely handled by Yang Yinjiang independently.

But Yang Ming still doesn't quite understand, why did Yang Yinjiang identify him?Isn't Yang Zhao's identity stronger than him?

Moreover, Yang Zhao is still an adult, and he is still an underdeveloped child.

Yang Ming couldn't think of a reason for this, so let's just shamelessly think that Yang Yinjiang has a unique eye.

As soon as the convoy entered Chongrenfang, Yang Guang came to the carriage where Yang Ming and the others were in, patted the shoulders of the two sons, and expressed some praise in his words:

"You two did a great job today."

It's over, just this sentence, maybe it's because they are afraid that the two brothers will be proud.

Then Yang Guang said again: "Go back and tell your mother and concubine that I have gone to Yue Gong's mansion."

After speaking, Comrade Yang Guang walked away in high spirits.

It's really refreshing for people to celebrate happy events. It was the first time Yang Ming saw his father look so shy.

"I heard that a goddess came from Jinyang, and she is in your Jinyang Tower?" Yang Zhao said with a smirk.

Yang Ming was stunned and said, "What else is there?"

"You don't know?" Yang Zhao asked strangely.

Yang Ming shook his head: "I really don't know, how did you know?"

"Hey, you can't say anything," Yang Zhao summoned his servants and ordered the other party to go back to the mansion to inform the mother and concubine, saying that they are also outside tonight and will go back later.

"Shall we go to your Jinyang Tower tonight?"

Yang Ming was not very interested in Yang Zhao's suggestion. After all, the goddess was just a high-class prostitute, so he really had no idea.

It's just that he didn't expect that you, Yang Zhao, also like women?

Yang Ming didn't like it, but he had no choice but to be dragged away by Yang Zhao.

The current business of Jinyang Building is just like that, which is far worse than before.

After all, the face of King Qin Yang Jun is far from that of Yang Ming.

Bad things spread far and wide. Although Yang Ming tried his best to hide the fact that he was the boss behind the scenes, he didn't know who leaked the news, and now everyone knows that Jinyang Building belongs to him.

After much deliberation, it seems that it can only be Yang Lihua.

Because of the unsatisfactory business, Yu Wenlan, who is well-known in Jinyang, knows that, returning to his old business, he even invited a goddess from Jinyang City to help improve his popularity.

Yang Ming disliked doing this, but in the Sui Dynasty, it seemed that restaurants would never have a clear relationship with prostitutes.

A restaurant without famous prostitutes is not a good restaurant, which is basically common sense.

In this regard, he is also very helpless.

After entering the restaurant, Yang Ming realized that there were a lot of customers today, and they all came for that goddess.

Many of them are familiar faces seen during the spring outing.

Yang Ming sent someone to find Yu Wenlan and told him to treat his elder brother well, then he forced himself to leave with Yang Zhao's displeasure on his face.

After leaving the restaurant, Yang Ming took a deep breath in the evening air, the bustling city, and the lights just came on.

Yang Ming came to a fortune-telling booth not far away and sat down, looking at all kinds of passers-by on the road.

The fortune teller didn't dare to say anything, because Yang Ming was accompanied by eight burly guards.

In fact, Yang Ming still doesn't know what the names of these eight people are. He usually refers to each other as you, you, you.
Regarding this point, he was learning from Yang Jian. Yang Jian called Qianniu Beishen around him, you, you, you, so that Yang Ming didn't even know who Yang Jian's Qianniu Beishen was.

Anyway, rich family background is certain.

At this time, Yang Ming's gaze suddenly turned to a figure not far away.

The woman was holding a bay red horse in her hand, and was talking and laughing happily with a rather handsome man beside her.

Behind them, a dozen attendants followed from a distance.

I didn't expect to meet her here,

Standing beside Yang Ming were eight armored guards, who were quite eye-catching, so Pei Shuying quickly noticed them.

When she saw Yang Ming, she was obviously taken aback for a moment, then frowned, as if she wanted to come over to say hello but felt awkward.

Seeing this, Yang Ming got up and said:

"Hi, Miss Pei."

Only then did Pei Shuying move towards Yang Ming.

In the past, because of Yang Hao, she would not give Yang Ming a good face. Now, the matter is over, Yang Hao already has Princess Yuzhang, and she herself has a new suitor.

Besides, King Jin was in Beijing, so she had to say hello to Yang Ming no matter what the reason.

Maybe it's a philistine. In short, whether King Jin is in Beijing or not, everyone will treat Yang Ming in two ways.

Pei Shuying smiled and led the horse over:

"I didn't expect to meet King Hedong here. Did you also come to Jinyang Tower to admire the demeanor of that goddess?"

"No, no," Yang Ming quickly cleared up his suspicions: "I'm bored, let's go out for a stroll."

As he spoke, Yang Ming looked at the handsome young man who saluted him: "Who is this?"

Pei Shuying seemed a little embarrassed, but she still introduced:

"This is Longxi Li Dewu."

Bringing the word Longxi means that the other party is from the Li family in Longxi. Otherwise, there are so many people with the surname Li in Longxi, could it be that they all belong to the Li family?
At the first glance, Yang Ming hated this guy very much, maybe part of the reason was due to Yang Hao, but this kid gave him a very bad impression.

He did look like an upright gentleman, and his appearance was upright, which seemed to be the case, but Yang Ming just didn't like it.

Maybe it's called eye contact.

Yang Ming asked again: "Where do you work?"

Pei Shuying shook her head: "There is no position."

"Is the Lord here?" Yang Ming asked again.

Pei Shuying shook her head: "There is no Lord."

In fact, Yang Ming probably knew that Pei Shuying was a relatively famous martyr in history, but her husband Li Dewu was basically mentioned in one stroke and only left a name.

What is Niubi?This is called!

Yang Ming had to admire this kid in front of him, a side branch of the Li family in Longxi, without a lord, and without an official status, how dare he chase after Pei Ju's daughter?Want to eat soft rice with all your heart?
The most outrageous thing is that he even managed to catch up.
