Chapter 1 The Emperor

In the spacious palace of the imperial city, there were four large braziers in the corners, and the charcoal inside was burning to its heart's content, but without any smoke, it silently warmed the entire hall.

Yang Jian put down the last memorial, stretched his muscles and bones, looked at Liu Zheming, who was always on the sidelines, and asked, "What is the prince doing now?"

As the head of the servants and eunuchs, this imperial city can be said to be under the watchful eyes of Liu Zheming, otherwise if the emperor asks something and he doesn't know, it will be a terrible thing.

People must serve people in the palace, so eunuchs and court ladies are indispensable, but being a eunuch in the Sui Dynasty is not a good job, at least it is better than the ten regular servants of the Three Kingdoms, Gao Lishi in the Tang Dynasty, and Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that the eunuchs in the Sui Dynasty were sad reminders.

I don’t know if Yang Jian has learned the lessons of the eunuchs’ interference in politics in the Han Dynasty. He has always been very careful about the use of eunuchs. It is necessary not to interfere in political affairs, and he is not even allowed to mention them. The eunuchs are basically not allowed to have other matters in the palace. Whatever your own thoughts, you can only tell them as realistically as possible, and you can't mix them with private goods.

Coupled with the fact that there is a queen in the palace who is no less weak than the emperor, the eunuchs of the Sui Dynasty can basically be regarded as the hardest among their counterparts in all dynasties and generations.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness should have a banquet in the East Palace today."

Liu Zheming really didn't want to say this. After all, one side is the emperor, and the other side is the future emperor. It's no good to offend either, but he can't tell lies. After hesitating for a while, he still spoke the truth with difficulty.

Sure enough, when Yang Jian heard this, his thick eyebrows frowned immediately.

I'm trying my best to correct the memorial here, you bastard, what's the point?

As the emperor, Yang Jian was probably one of the hardest ones.This has something to do with his nature. He advocates frugality and never wastes money. There are not many emperors who can do this, but there are still a few of them.

But another feature of Yang Jian can be regarded as the best emperor-the emperor with the fewest concubines.

Strictly speaking, Yang Jian is a strict wife, and Queen Dugu is very powerful. As the emperor, Yang Jian has sixty concubines in the harem, which is not many among the emperor's peers, but it is not many. The problem is, these sixty concubines Concubine, Yang Jian basically never had any luck.

The Lonely Empress is notoriously jealous. These days, not only the emperor, but even the ministers have to be careful when accepting concubines, otherwise it will be difficult for the empress to explain.Therefore, several of Yang Jian's children were born to Queen Dugu, and none of them were born to other women.

"Where's King Jin?"

Yang Jian has five sons. Now that he is older, only Yang Yong and Yang Guang are able to do something serious. Since the crown prince has let him down, a father can't help but care about his second son.

Liu Zheming was stunned, knowing that Yang Jian would never ask about Yang Guang's movements on weekdays, he was naturally unprepared, and at the moment when he was asked, cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Report...Report to Your Majesty, I don't know."

"What do I need you for?"

In a word, Liu Zheming knelt down on the ground tremblingly.

Yang Jian said angrily, "What are you kneeling down for? Order someone to investigate."

"As ordered."

Turning his head to give a few words, a small servant quickly ran out of the hall, and after a while, he came in again with his head bowed, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jin is now in Taixue."

The emperor on the throne raised his head, a smile finally appeared on his cold face.

"What does King Jin do in Taixue? Is it to ask for teaching?"

It's good that Yang Jian is an emperor, but he is still a father. Which father doesn't want his children to make progress?

At this time, Yang Jian seemed to think of the son he had forgotten for a long time, and he became very concerned.

The emperor's words were very gentle, but there was a thin layer of sweat on the little servant's forehead.

"Your Majesty, King Jin searched for a long time in Taixue, saying that he was looking for some information, and then went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"Let him come, I want to see what this kid is doing."

The little eunuch left, Yang Jian got up slowly, walked down the steps, and stretched his legs.

He felt a little soreness in his knees, especially when it was rainy, and he also knew that this was the sequelae of his early years of traveling and military career.

Liu Zheming followed Yang Jian cautiously. He was relieved to have escaped, but he couldn't help resenting Yang Guang who made himself a fool of himself.

That's right, in his heart, the culprit who made him look ugly and almost lost his official position was Yang Guang. Yang Jian would never dare to blame him. what's scary?

After brewing his emotions slightly, Liu Zheming seemed to say inadvertently: "Your Majesty, I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Jin would go to the Qin Mansion every morning to spend time. I think that Qin Feng is just the son of a criminal official. I dare to..."

The words were not finished, and the tone was very calm, but the meaning was very worth thinking about.Moreover, this matter is not considered government affairs, at most it is just the emperor's family affairs, so there is no need to worry about making any taboos.

Yang Jian didn't seem to hear Liu Zheming's words at all. He stood outside the door, watching Yang Guang who was gradually approaching, with a slight smile on his face.

No matter how you say it, his son didn't spend time and money, didn't do anything wrong, and Yang Guang was not a prince, so Yang Jian wouldn't have such high demands on him. Now Yang Guang is willing to learn something, even if it's just miscellaneous knowledge, he is also happy to see of.

"Father."

Seeing Yang Jian waiting outside the door, Yang Guang trotted over quickly, panting, "I don't know why my father summoned my son?"

"Can't I call you here?"

Yang Jian squinted at Yang Guang, and said angrily, "Today, the servant said that you are in the Taixue, but did you go to ask someone for advice?"

Liu Zheming narrowed his eyes, he really hoped that Yang Guang would answer yes, the emperor doesn't like to listen to lies, although it won't punish his son for the crime of deceiving the emperor, but being rejected is inevitable, just enough to make him feel better .

However, Yang Guang shook his head, supported Yang Jian and said, "Father, it's too cold outside, your legs are not good, let's go into the hall and talk about it."

"it is good."

Although Yang Jian has not yet reached the age of seventy or eighty, he still feels very comforted by his son's care, and allows Yang Guang to help him into the palace.

Yang Guang saw Liu Zheming's meaningful eyes. He didn't understand what happened to this gloomy guy in the past, but he could only pretend that he didn't see him. After he helped Yang Jian to sit up, he felt a little happy Said: "Father, my son found some good things today."

Yang Jian looked at his son who didn't get much attention on weekdays, and suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, so he laughed and said, "You idiot, do you still want to betray me? Tell me quickly."

Zhu Zi, this is not a curse word, but reveals a trace of intimacy, just like folk parents call their children a little bastard.

"Father, Qin Ziyu asked me to check the grain output of the past dynasties and the changes in the people's rations this morning. Do you know what I found?"

Qin Ziyu?

It was not the first time Yang Jian had heard of this name, but the chili pepper last time was really a good thing to keep out the cold and dampness, so it was not impossible to make him a small official just because of this thing.And the Liannu, regardless of whether it can be used or not, at least in Yang Jian's opinion, this Qin Feng is willing to do things, let alone whether he succeeds or not, at least he is better than those guys who occupy positions in the court but do not make any contribution and only talk about it. Be strong.

This time, what the hell is that kid going to do?

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "Tell me quickly, let me see what you have learned from him. If I am not satisfied, I will find you two famous teachers, and you will learn from them." That's good."

Yang Jian is indeed the emperor, but he was not born. He struggled for the first half of his life, and finally sat in his current position, so he claimed a lot, I, I, and I can do it. Weng is no surprise.

Yang Guang's heart skipped a beat. He didn't want to go back to the days when he followed those so-called famous teachers every day, shaking his head and shaking his head.

However, Yang Guang has full confidence in what he is doing. These are not miscellaneous knowledge, let alone irrelevant things. Farming is the foundation of a country no matter which dynasty it is placed in. As long as what he says can satisfy Yang Jian, Not to mention what benefits you can get, at least you can win Yang Jian's favor, right?

More importantly, he didn't see his elder brother, the prince. According to the usual situation, Yang Jian would summon the prince every day after dealing with political affairs, and then explain to him the political affairs and how to deal with them, but he didn't today.Yang Guang didn't know if Yang Yong had left or something else had happened, but he thought it was a good sign, at least he couldn't miss this opportunity to be alone with Yang Jian.

Thinking of this, Yang Guang didn't dare to be negligent, he quickly took a piece of rice paper from the imperial case, and was about to take a pen, but he stretched his hand halfway, and suddenly realized that these things were for the emperor's use, and suddenly stammered: "Father, ..Father, son..."
