This trip to Hedong made Yang Ming feel a great sense of gap. It was the first time for him to leave Daxing, the capital, and come to such a relatively prosperous and developed county in the Sui Dynasty.
Compared with Daxing, Hedong is really a very poor place. Perhaps as Yang Lihua said, if Yang Ming stays in Daxing, he will be gradually corroded and develop a desire for power.
This is a fact. If you are used to living in a place like Daxing, you really can't accept a small county town.
But fate is like this. He is a county king and will be a prince in the future. He must join the feudal vassal. The capital is not the place for him to stay.
Just like Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, and Yang Liang, the king of Han, they were not allowed to enter the capital unless they were recruited. If Yang Jun, the third child, died, they could not come back to take a look.
But people like Li Yuan and Fang Xuanling are obsessed with sneaking into the capital from the local area.
Of course, Li Yuan also knew in his heart that he would have to be released in the future, but he would have to find a way until he climbed up the ladder and was qualified to be released as a governor.
The next day, Yang Ming returned and left. Dou Qing and others stood at the city gate, watching Yang Ming's motorcade disappear from sight.
Dou Qing asked someone to find out. The reason why Li Jing was able to serve as the Prime Minister of Hedong County was because Yang Ming greeted Li Bu, so he had always been pretty good to Li Jing and never gave him any shoes.
He was even more afraid now, because he had already received news from Daxing that King Jin would be extremely valuable in the future.
At this time, unless his head was kicked by a donkey, he would offend Yang Ming.
"You've been working hard these days, pharmacist. Let's go and have a drink at my house."
Of course Li Jing would not refuse and said with a smile, "Please, Mr. Dou."
In the prefect's mansion, Dou Qing and Li Jing sat opposite each other, asking the maid next to him to pour wine for them, and said with a smile:
"How long have the pharmacist and His Highness the King of Hedong been friends?"
Li Jing said: "In total, it has been nearly two years."
Two years is not a short time. You live in the palace, you are raised at the knees of the Holy Queen, and you have known each other for two years. This shows that the relationship is unusual.
So Dou Qing asked, "What has the pharmacist heard from the capital recently?"
"Capital Master?" Li Jing shook his head: "I just heard that the previous Minister of Civil Affairs, Hu Lu Xiaoqing, just passed away."
Did he really not know, or was he pretending not to know? Dou Kang added: "The King of Jin has been in the capital for half a year. What does the pharmacist think?"
Li Jing frowned when he heard this: "Is there some inside story?"
Dou Qing stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The vassal king is not allowed to enter the capital without being called up. Although the King of Jin came to express his condolences to the Crown Princess and later led his troops northward and returned with a great victory, he really shouldn't stay in the capital for so long now. Besides, None of the kings of Shu and Han came to the capital to express their condolences, so why was it only the king of Jin?"
Why? I don’t know why. Li Jing is really not qualified enough, so he has no source of information regarding matters related to the upper class.
Unlike Dou Qing, he is a relative, and his elder brother Dou Kang has served as a guard for Yang Jian.
However, Li Jing also probably heard some problems from the probing words of the other party. The King of Jin was originally the general manager of Yangzhou, guarding the southern part of the Sui Dynasty, and commanding the military affairs of the forty-four states. In such a critical position, he should indeed return to the fiefdom early and stay in the capital for a long time. When something goes wrong, something big will happen.
He was also curious in his heart, so he whispered: "Please Mr. Dou to clarify my doubts."
….
Dou Qing now wanted to curry favor with Yang Ming, so of course he would take the initiative to show his favor to Li Jing, the popular person in Yang Ming's eyes, so he answered ambiguously:
"A small place like Hedong is probably not a place where the King of Hedong will live for a long time."
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and then slowly savored this sentence in his heart. Yang Ming was the king of the county, and the east of the river was a rich land. How could he call it a small place?
In the Sui Dynasty, there were not many better vassal territories than Hedong.
And Dou Qing just made excuses for the King of Jin staying in the capital, could it be...
Li Jing's body trembled and he looked at Dou Qing in disbelief.
Dou Qing could see that the other party understood it, so he raised his glass and said, "Dou will not be able to say anything in the future. I have to ask the pharmacist for more advice."
"Don't dare, don't dare," Li Jing quickly raised his glass, feeling shocked in his heart.
It's really shocking.
He often heard that the prince fell out of favor with the Second Saint, but he never thought that this day would come...
The prince is the legitimate eldest son. Although he has made mistakes, he should not be like this.
In this way, Yang Ming will be...
.......
Yang Ming decided to take Pujin Ferry on his return trip this time. He originally planned to take a long detour to the north to have a look at Longmen Ferry, but the weather seemed to be changing, so it was best to cross the pontoon bridge as early as possible to avoid the water level rising. I can't get through it.
Pujin Ferry and Longmen Ferry are the two major crossings from Shanxi to Beijing. When Li Yuan and his son rebelled, if they could not defeat Song Laosheng in Huoyi, then they could only go south to find a way out, or form an alliance with Li Mi's Wagang to attack Wang Shichong of Luoyang, or Allied with Dou Jiande of Hebei Province to deal with Li Mi.
In short, as long as they cannot cross these two ferries, Jinyang cannot be saved, because the Turks and Liu Wuzhou will raid Jinyang.
They must find someone to form an alliance, otherwise Qu Tutong from Hedong will chase them all the way when they see them heading south.
In fact, in the Battle of Huoyi, Song Laosheng only made one mistake, that is, he should not be lured out of the city. As long as he did not leave the city, there would be reinforcements at Longmen Pass across the river behind him to relieve the siege. It did not take many, one or two thousand people were enough. .
Don't think too highly of Li Yuan and his son. They didn't have many soldiers at that time. It's not an exaggeration to say that they were a mob.
Song Laosheng thought so at the time, so he underestimated the enemy and left the city rashly.
Li Yuan and his son really gained momentum after entering Guanzhong. Because the main forces in the Guanzhong area were taken away by Qu Tutong and Song Laosheng, the capital was empty, allowing Li Yuan and his son to capture Daxing and in turn deal with Qu Tutong.
Although Qu Tutong pointed at his neck and said, "I should take a knife for the country," he finally surrendered. Li Yuan named him Minister of the Ministry of War and Li Shimin's marching marshal.
Dominated in the Guanzhong area, it occupies the absolute initiative.
It was the right time for Yang Guang to be ignorant and ignorant, and it was the geographical advantage to occupy the capital. The reason why Li Yuan and his son were able to conquer the world was because they occupied the Guanzhong area.
Qu Tutong is just a cavalry general at the moment. As for Song Laosheng, I haven't heard of him. You can ask the staff about it when you go back.
After returning to Beijing, as soon as she returned to the palace, she heard from Concubine Xiao that Li Yuan's wife had come to Beijing.
It seems that Shimin's son is here too.
Li Yuan's wife, the Dou family, was born in the Daibei Dou family and the Xianbei tribe. Her original surname was the Hedouling family, which was changed to the Dou family during the Northern Wei Dynasty.
His father, Dou Yi, was the son-in-law of Yu Wentai, the leader of the Guanlong Group and the Great Sima of Shangzhu State in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
….
In other words, Dou is Yuwentai's granddaughter, and Jiancheng Shimin is Yuwentai's great-grandson.
Their family is not only relatives of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but also relatives of the Great Sui Dynasty. They are quite powerful.
Don't look at how miserable Li Yuan's family background is described in Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but his family background is quite strong.
Concubine Xiao stayed in the palace all day and had nothing to do. It happened that Mrs. Li Yuan came to Beijing, so she wanted to visit her so that she could find someone to talk to to pass the time.
She also has best friends, one is Yu Wenshu's wife Dugu, and the other is Guo Yan's wife Wang.
Yu Wenshu's wife Dugu, according to many unofficial historical records, is the fifth daughter of Dugu Xin and the sister of Dugu Jialuo. In fact, she is not, she was just born in the Dugu family of Luoyang.
Otherwise, wouldn't Yuwenshu be Yang Guang's uncle?
On this day, Yang Ming went to Li Yuan's house with his mother and concubine to visit his wife Dou.
Originally, Li Yuan had sent a message long ago, saying that Madam had settled down and would come to pay her respects to Concubine Xiao.
But Concubine Xiao wanted to go out for some fresh air, so she took the initiative to visit.
Li Yuan was rich, very rich. He lived in Longqingfang, which was only one square away from Chongrenfang where the Jin Palace was located. They were both on the 93rd line of Daxing City.
In any case, he is the Duke of the country, the founder of the country, and his title is the same as that of Yang Su, Su Wei, and He Ruobi, which is the third level.
Li Yuan and his wife received the news and waited outside the house early.
Yang Ming walked out of the car
In the compartment, at a glance, he saw the graceful lady beside Li Yuan and the two children she was holding on her left and right hands respectively.
One is Jiancheng's child, and the other is Shimin's child who is one and a half years old. To be precise, he is two and a half years old, because it counts as one year old after birth.
Yang Ming couldn't help but look at the other person. Jiancheng's appearance undoubtedly took after Nai's father. As for Shimin, he looked more like Dou, but he was only two years old, and his appearance hadn't fully grown yet.
Li Yuan and his wife welcomed Concubine Xiao into the mansion respectfully, while Yang Ming was taken by Jiancheng who took the initiative to take him by the hand and said that he would take him around the mansion.
Shimin was still young, so the wet nurse followed him. Yang Ming took the initiative to pick him up, raised his hand to wipe away the two pieces of snot hanging under his nose, and then wiped it on Shimin's clothes.
This boy, are you the one who took over our Yang family’s home?
Li Shimin can't speak yet, he can only say yah yah. He even thinks it is very interesting to smear snot on his body, so he also imitates his example, puts his fingers into his nostrils, picks up a handful of snot, and smears it on himself. Then he grinned at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was also amused. Children are just having fun.
But this kid was very fat, so Yang Ming held him for a while and then threw him to his wet nurse.
Maybe it was because he was too young, so Yang Ming did not feel the slightest threat from the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but when he grew up, this boy was really not a good person.
Killing a brother, seizing a sister-in-law, forcing a father to abdicate, none of these are things that ordinary people can do.
As for whether Li Yuan will become a left-behind man in Taiyuan in the future, as happened in history, this is not Yang Ming's final say.
Although his father Yang Guang has not yet taken charge, the true side of his character has gradually begun to emerge. Yang Ming feels more and more that his influence on his father Yang Guang is actually very limited.
If he traveled through time and became the son of any mediocre emperor in Chinese history, he would definitely choose to lie down.
Eat, drink, have fun, and live your life leisurely and unrestrained, wouldn’t it?
The true meaning of life lies in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. This is the principle of life that an old man named Qin summed up after he lived to be seventy years old.
Yang Ming deeply agreed.
Unfortunately, his father is Yang Guang. If he lies down, he will follow Comrade Yang Guang and lie underground in the future.
When you lie down like that, you really feel flat.
