In the next few days, Li Min took the time to sort out the affairs of Sanhan Prefecture and make some administrative arrangements. Although Sanzhou has been controlled by Li Min now, the public sentiment is still unstable, so in the early stage

The main goal is to install

To stabilize the people's hearts, they then vigorously supported Tang merchants in setting up factories in the three states. Of course, these factories were all light industries related to people's livelihood, and they also paid very low wages to the local workers they hired. Anyway, as long as they ensured that no one would starve to death.

That’s it.

After doing all this, Li Min was still a little worried, so in the end, in addition to setting up governors in the three states, he also temporarily left Wang An and Lu Hong here. Both of them were Li Min's confidants, and they both had

Dacai, with them here to take charge, Li Min can leave with peace of mind.

After handling this, Li Min immediately took Jin Shengman on the Qiwang and was escorted by a small fleet back to Dengzhou. When he just returned to the palace, Wen Xin sent another letter from Chang'an.

The letter was given to him. It was sent by Wang Zihao. It mainly described in detail the circumstances of Yang Xun's death.

It turned out that a month ago, Yang Jian suddenly fell ill again. Although Sun Simiao tried his best to rescue him, the medicine and medicine could not kill him. Yang Jian was already seriously ill and could not be saved by human power, so in the end there was no way to save him. The former Sui Dynasty

The last prince finally came to an end, and Empress Xiao watched her son die in front of her eyes. She was heartbroken and even fainted on the spot. This shows that she was not as open-minded as she said at the beginning.

However, when Yang Xun passed away, he specifically told Li Min not to tell Li Min the news of his death for the time being, because he knew that it was a critical period for Li Min to control Silla and Baekje, so he did not want Li Min to suffer the consequences of his death.

He was distracted by his own death. It was precisely because of this that Li Min received the news from Concubine Yang one month after Yang Xun's death. At this time, Li Min had just pacified Silla and Baekje.

After Li Min read this, he thought that Yang Xian had not forgotten to support his overseas development until his death. He felt sad again and burst into tears. Wen Xin, who was next to him, saw her husband's grief and came over.

He comforted softly and took out a handkerchief to wipe Li Min's tears.

As expected, Yang Xun's funeral procession went down the Yellow River by boat as Jin Shengman analyzed. The first stop was Dengzhou, which was mainly to pick up Li Min on the ship. Moreover, the funeral procession only stayed in Dengzhou for one night.

, and set off immediately the next day. After Li Min saw Yang Xian's coffin, he naturally cried bitterly again, and then entertained the mourners.

In the funeral procession for Yang Zhen, Li Min saw Empress Xiao, but this old man who had always been in good spirits had now aged more than ten years and was in very poor health. If it weren't for Princess Nanyang and Yang beside him,

If the concubine supported her, she might not even be able to walk. But no matter how bad her health was, she insisted on sending her son on his last journey.

When Empress Xiao met Li Min, her closest grandson, she finally cheered up a little and asked Li Min to talk about some common things. However, as she spoke, she started talking about Yang Xian again, which made Empress Xiao burst into tears.

Zongheng, finally with the persuasion of Princess Nanyang and Concubine Yang, Queen Xiao was finally able to stop her tears.

Princess Yang Jing of Nanyang was born to Empress Xiao. So even though she was a foreigner, she still came to bury her brother. Concubine Yang and Concubine Yang had a deep relationship, and Li Shimin also knew this. So he agreed with Concubine Yang to accompany her.

They all came together to pay homage to Yang Xian.

In addition, Li Min also met Cai'er. However, compared with the liveliness in Chang'an, Cai'er was now depressed and haggard. She even talked a lot less. Only when she saw Li Min did she speak again.

She threw herself into his arms and cried loudly. Moreover, Li Min heard from Concubine Yang that Cai'er had been seriously ill some time ago, and it was just two days ago that she recovered.

In addition to women like Empress Xiao, Xiao Yu was also in the funeral procession. He was responsible for the scheduling of the entire procession. There were also some descendants of the Yang family, such as Li Min's nominal cousin Yang Zhengdao. Although he was related to

Yang Xian was not related by blood, but he was at least his heir in name, so this time he was also filial piety.

Originally, Li Min thought that Queen Xiao and the others had been on the boat for such a long time, and that Queen Xiao and Cai'er were not in good health, so he wanted them to rest in Dengzhou for two more days, but Queen Xiao refused.

According to her, she wanted to put her son to rest as soon as possible, so she didn't want to spend too long on the road.

Li Min couldn't persuade him at first sight, so he had to take Wen Xin and leave Dengzhou with Queen Xiao. However, he invited Queen Xiao and the others to his Qi Wang. After all, this ship was specially made and not only stronger.

, and it is also very stable. As long as there are no big winds and waves, it is almost the same as on land. This can also make Empress Xiao and Cai'er feel better.

There was a heavy atmosphere in the funeral procession. Whether it was true or false, everyone's expressions were not good-looking. Needless to say, Li Min, as long as nothing happened, he and Wen Xin stayed with Empress Xiao. But it looked like

When Cai'er looked gloomy, Li Min had to take the responsibility of making Cai'er happy. After all, if this continued, Cai'er's small body would be too much to bear.

Cai'er and her father Yang Jian depended on each other for life, and their relationship was naturally very deep. Therefore, the death of her father was a huge blow to Cai'er. In addition, she was precocious and already understood the concept of life and death, so along the way, she almost never had any problems.

never laughed

.But Cai'er is still a child after all, and Yang Xian has been dead for more than a month. In addition, Li Min can tease children, so within a few days, Cai'er's face finally regained some cheerfulness, and

Concubine Yang and the others were all relieved when they saw this.

The fleet went all the way south and soon arrived at Yangzhou. Li Ke was originally in Shanghai, not far from Yangzhou, so he had been waiting in Yangzhou for a long time. In addition, he also repaired the outside of Yang Guang's mausoleum.

It seems that Yang Guang was reburied by Li Yuan with imperial rites, so the standard of this mausoleum is also very high. It is a pity that the Yang family's connections in the former Sui Dynasty have declined, and no one is guarding the mausoleum here.

After Li Min and the others arrived here, they held a grand funeral for Yang Xun. The local officials in Yangzhou heard that the former Sui prince came here to be buried. In addition, Li Ke, Li Min and Concubine Yang were accompanying them, so naturally none of them were interested.

If you dare to neglect, many people will be sent to help organize it. If you have any requests, you only need to make them, and they will comply with them.

The underground palace of Yang Guang's mausoleum was not sealed. It was originally reserved for Empress Xiao. After all, the couple must be buried together. But I didn't expect that the second person buried in the mausoleum would be Yang Jian, and Empress Xiao was watching.

When they reached the coffin where the husband and son were placed side by side, they even louder

She cried bitterly, and even Li Min couldn't stop her. In the end, because Queen Xiao was old and her health was much worse, she fainted and fell to the ground. This frightened everyone, and they were all in a hurry.

Empress Xiao carried it back and asked the doctor to take a look at it, and finally woke up.

After the funeral, Li Min arranged for everyone to go to Yangzhou to rest for a few days. After all, no one had had a good rest since Yang Xian's death. However, on the second day after staying in Yangzhou, Concubine Yang called Li Min.

passed.

Li Min and the others lived in Li Ke's villa in Yangzhou. Li Ke had been in Shanghai during this period and would come to Yangzhou to live for a while in his spare time, so he asked someone to buy a manor with a large area.

They and their group moved in without any problems at all.

When Li Min came to the courtyard where Concubine Yang lived and entered the bedroom, he saw Concubine Yang sitting there with a frown on her face. She didn't know what she was thinking. When she saw Li Min, she asked him to sit down and said, "Liu Lang, you should have found out about your grandmother."

Is your health much worse?"

After hearing this, Li Min also nodded with a sad face and said: "My uncle's death has been a great blow to my grandmother. In addition, she is also old and her health is not very good. If it continues like this, I'm afraid...

…”

Li Min didn't say what he said, but anyone who cares can see that there is something wrong with Queen Xiao's health. But it's normal when you think about it. After all, she is nearly eighty years old, and she is also suffering from the pain of losing her son.

, no one can bear this kind of blow.

Concubine Yang sighed after hearing this, and seemed to be talking to Li Min and said to herself: "When my mother and second brother met for the first time, she was extremely open-minded, as if she really saw through life and death, but now I know

, it turns out that my mother was just afraid that my second brother would feel guilty, so she deliberately showed her open-mindedness about life and death."

Concubine Yang spoke in a very low voice, but Li Min heard it very clearly. However, he also sighed after hearing it, but he also had a guess in his heart, that is, his uncle Yang Jian might have seen that Empress Xiao was pretending to be deliberately.

He was open-minded, but he didn't show it. After all, he didn't have much time and just wanted to see more of his mother's smile.

"Liu Lang, if we continue like this, your grandmother's health will definitely not be able to bear it. Is there any way you can let her relax?" Concubine Yang continued. She knew that her son had the most evil ideas, so she raised such a difficult problem.

However, after hearing this, Li Min said with a bitter face: "Mother, concubine, this is really difficult for my son. Grandma is suffering from the pain of losing a child. How can she recover easily?" But when he said this, Li Min was really serious.

He thought of a way and said with a hint of joy, "

Concubine, why don’t you do this? Since my grandma finally comes out, I might as well live in Dengzhou for a while. I won’t have anything to do next, so I’ll just accompany my grandma every day. Plus, with Chou Chou as a pistachio, I think I can

It makes grandma feel much better."

When Li Min mentioned Chou Chou, Concubine Yang also had a smile on her face. Now Chou Chou is almost ten months old and can call people. It is the cutest time. If Empress Xiao goes to Dengzhou,

It does help her forget her grief as quickly as possible.

"Is this a good idea, or..."

Just when Concubine Yang agreed with Li Min's approach and was about to praise her son, Li Ke suddenly rushed in in a panic and shouted to Concubine Yang and Li Min: "Oh no, something big has happened!
