Chapter 3, Puppy

As for the Empress Dugu, Garo, Garo, this is originally a name imbued with strong Buddhist connotations, and the Empress Dugu herself was also a devout follower of Buddhism

The Imperial Guard within the palace, of course, all know Yang Ming

Teasing is secondary; the focus is on the temple

That figure is beyond description

The Crown Princess Yuan Zhen was not present; accompanying Yang Yong was Yun Zhao Xun, a stunningly beautiful woman

Yang Jian seemed to suddenly recall something, and he rose to approach the dragon table. He ordered the eunuch to saw off one of the table legs, took it in his hand and weighed it, then handed it to Yang Ming and said

When Li Gang saw Yang Ming in this state, he couldn't help but ask:

The official title of Prince's Horse Groom belongs to the Eastern Palace and is classified as a second-rank position, equivalent to the tutor of the Crown Prince

Ah! As expected of a person whose name is recorded in the annals of history, Li Gang's performance was entirely within Yang Ming's expectations

In the prince's harem, the highest position is held by the crown princess

Crown Prince Xianma Li Gang

Yang Ming's sudden appearance by the lake immediately drew Yang Yong's attention

Li Gang was astonished: "Are you going to hit with this table leg?"

Yang Jian was born in the Banruo Temple located in Fengyi County (present-day Dali County, Shaanxi) and was raised by the nun Zhixian. He also had a Buddhist name, Narayana (Vajra Warrior)

A sixteen-year-old and an eleven-year-old suddenly got into a scuffle together

Yang Ming looked at Dugu Hou with a face full of melancholy, his small face filled with difficulty

The Crown Prince is listening to music at East Lake, Your Highness, please proceed.

Why? Because he is a Yun Zhao training student, and Yun Zhao training is merely a training program

With a scream of agony, Yang Yan staggered backward, clutching his head, and before long, blood began to seep through his fingers

But some dare

Just by looking at the beauty of Yun Zhao Xun, one can tell that Yang Yong's taste is undoubtedly strong

Despite the fact that Li Gang is already in his fifties this year, his political career has only just begun. Historically, he will also become a mentor to Li Jiancheng and Li Chengqian in the future

The songstress plays music, and the dancer takes the stage

After listening for a while, Yang Ming had a general understanding of the events leading up to the situation.

It is known that Yang Jian held Buddhism in high regard, even claiming to be the son of a deity.

Alright, which play is this from? Yang Yong has never been on good terms with his father; is this to say that the enmity is not great enough?

Because all five sons and five daughters of Yang Jian were born of the same mother, in the view of Empress Dugu, only the legitimate children were considered her own, while the illegitimate ones were regarded as mere pups

Yang Ming twitched the corner of his mouth: "Isn't this inappropriate? How could the child dare to strike his uncle with a tool?"

Yang Ming said: "In accordance with the supreme command, strike the crown prince"

Yang Ming vaguely felt that this matter might be a trap set by his father for the Crown Prince. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental

Yang Ming is the legitimate son of Prince Jin Yang Guang and his primary consort, Lady Xiao

It is rare in history for a figure to serve as the tutor to three princes across two dynasties.

"Hit your uncle on the head," Yang Jian said

Dugu Qialuo's illustration for her selection of a consort also features Yu Wen Shu's fourth daughter, Yu Wen Cha Min

Ah...

Have you noticed? Yun Zhao Xun is a concubine with a low status in name, yet her position is exceedingly high

Your Highness, where are you going?

Below the Crown Princess, there are two noble consorts, ranked as third grade, six noble ladies, ranked as fourth grade, ten ladies of virtue, ranked as fifth grade, sixteen ladies of instruction, ranked as seventh grade, and twenty-four attendants, ranked as ninth grade

Saying this, he was about to snatch the table leg from Yang Ming's hand

Dugu Qialuo smiled and said: "It is of no concern, my child, just go ahead. Who dares to stop you, just use this table leg to strike them. Even if it is your few brothers who are worse than pigs and dogs, they will not be spared either"

Li Gang, a native of Guanzhou, Tangs County (present-day Jing County, Hebei Province)

The lunch was presented by the palace maid, and the three generations of the family gathered together to have a meal

In the past, Yang Jian and his wife had never shown such great anger, but this time Yang Yong committed a significant taboo

After the engraving at wwwhetushucom, Yang Ming felt like a bride about to be married, shyly being sent out of Yong'an Palace by Granny Lou, her heart filled with anxiety

It seems that the Crown Prince teasing a commoner girl is not a significant matter; as long as the incident is kept under wraps and does not spread, it would not damage the image of the royal family

Has Yang Yong lost his mind? How dare he act recklessly in front of the deities at Daxingshan Temple

Yang Ming took it with both hands and tested its weight: "May I ask, Grandfather, how do you wish for your grandson to wield it?"

What is the Crown Prince up to this time? Li Gang thought for a moment and felt that his Crown Prince seemed to be getting restless again lately. It would be a good thing for the two saints to give him a lesson; being reprimanded indicates that they still care about him. If they were to completely ignore him, that would truly lead to serious trouble.

However, this does not affect the fact that one lived to the age of eighty-five, passing away peacefully, which indicates a heart that is open-minded and generous

At this moment, both the imperial guards stationed and those patrolling looked on in astonishment at the most favored young lord, who was swaying unsteadily towards the Eastern Palace while carrying a table leg.

Yang Ming nodded and said: "Indeed, the Supreme Lord's decree is to use your utmost strength to strike your uncle on the head, so this time I am acting on orders."

Try it out, can you swing it?

Who is Yuwen Shu? He is closely associated with his father from m.hetushu.com, and he has three well-known sons: Yuwen Huaji, Yuwen Zhiji, and Yuwen Shiji, who are the three notorious traitors at the end of the Sui Dynasty

Yang Ming increasingly felt that his uncle was rather unclear in his actions

"You are going to fight on my behalf, which is equivalent to me fighting," Yang Jian corrected with a smile, "Do not bring anyone; you will go alone. Whatever happens during the process, come back and tell me everything in detail."

The Crown Prince and the ministers all rejoice

However, he was quite unfortunate; when he was instructing Yang Yong, Yang Yong ignored him, when he was teaching Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng also disregarded him, and when he was guiding Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian was deposed

According to Yang Yong's character, he can make you swing at his head

In other words, Yang Yan is of illegitimate birth

"What? You dare to strike my father?" Yang Yan was instantly enraged: "How dare you! Who do you think you are?"

What are you doing? Huh? Where did you find that table leg?

No one among the Eastern Palace guards dared to stop Yang Ming

... ...

By the East Lake, there is a splendid scene of light songs and graceful dances

Throughout the entire Eastern Palace administration, this individual can be considered the only capable and loyal minister under Yang Yong, while the rest are merely sycophants and flatterers

Master Lingzang, a close friend of Yang Jian, has six great monks—Huiyuan, Huizang, Sengxiu, Baozhen, Hongzun, and Tanqian—who reside and study here in the temple. They have established a translation venue, imparting teachings and knowledge, making this the most flourishing place for Buddhist doctrine in the north

Yang Ming's face was scratched, and in a moment of desperation, he swung his stick, striking Yang Yan right on the forehead

Daxing Shansi is the ancestral temple of the Buddhist "Esoteric School" and a royal temple of the Sui Dynasty

This table leg must weigh around 4 to 5 jin, and if it were to be swung at Yang Yong's head, it would likely cause a disfigurement

This chubby young man, who has just begun to grow sparse facial hair, is precisely the thing that Du Gu Hou referred to as worse than pigs and dogs.

Thus, he cheerfully stepped aside, smiling as he raised his hand and said

The location was chosen incorrectly

Going to the Eastern Palace, it is likely akin to a sheep entering a tiger's den, with more danger than fortune ahead

The officials under Yang Yong were also keeping time by slapping their thighs, and there was even one who sang loudly

The woman who was teased by Yang Yong is named Yu Wen Yu Min. What a commoner she is! She is actually the second daughter of Yu Wen Shu, the governor of Shouzhou, a proper lady from a distinguished family

Even he knows that one cannot act recklessly at Daxingshan Temple, so how could Yang Yong make such a basic mistake

Yang Ming said: "I, as a younger brother, have come to deliver a message from the esteemed authority, and it would be best for you, elder brother, not to obstruct my path"

How did this little brat come here? Yang Yong raised his eyebrows and exchanged a glance with his eldest son, Yang Yanli, who understood and approached Yang Ming with an unfriendly expression.

Yang is being audacious here, which is almost equivalent to prying open Yang Jian's mouth and spitting thick phlegm into it
