The characters of the Dugu family are also very evil, and their minds really don't seem to know how to bend.
After Yang Wanshi was convicted and transferred from Hejian County, the replacement governor was named Dugu. He was Duguji, the eldest son of Dugu Zang, the fourth son of the Dugu family.
At the moment, Hebei needs to be appeased, but as soon as this person took office, he went out of his way to arrest the people who participated in the civil unrest in the area under his jurisdiction, and arrested hundreds of people.
I specifically asked you to go down to comfort them, not to arrest them.
Duguji attacked his father's Duke Teng, who was also a first-class duke. He was Yang Guang's cousin, just a few months older than Yang Guang.
The magistrate of Hejian County did not dare to file a complaint, so he saved the country and asked the governors of other counties to report to the court not to arrest anyone anymore. Hejian County needed to recuperate and recuperate at the moment, rather than build a large prison.
After Yang Ming found out about this, he was also very angry. This is the shortcoming of officials from aristocratic families. There are not many people who care about the people. Don't you know why there was a civil uprising in Hebei in the first place?
The people are also being forced. Just arrest a few leaders and deal with it. Why the hell is this not over yet?
At first Yang Ming didn't know how to deal with him, but later Dugu Huaien was determined to go to Taifu Temple to supervise the kiln project, so Yang Ming thought of how to arrange Duguji.
But he needed to ask Yang Guang first. After all, the Sixteenth Guards General was from the second rank, and he couldn't just appoint him.
After Yang Guang received the letter, he summoned Dugu Zu, who served as Luoyang Yin.
"Is he mentally ill? What time is it now and he is still arresting people down there?"
Yang Guang actually received the report earlier than Yang Ming, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
Dugu Zuan is the eldest brother of the Dugu family, and he is also the head of the Dugu family who few people currently obey. After reading Yang Ming's memorial, he said distressedly:
"Brothers are all arrogant, and I can't control them."
Yang Guang immediately turned down his face:
"What? I am responsible for you? Look at who these people are. One doesn't want to be a general and only cares about tinkering with copper and iron. The other doesn't understand the national conditions and goes against the court's policies. What do they want to do?"
Dugu Zuan was speechless.
"The prince also asked him to go back and take over the right prison gate. Do you think I would dare to use such a person?" Yang Guang slammed the memorial on the table.
Dugu Zuan hurriedly said: "This is a minister who failed to control me well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Don't tell me these useless things," Yang Guang flicked his sleeves, leaned on the armrest, and said with squinted eyes:
"The merits that the Holy Queen has accumulated for you, I see, are about to be defeated by you. Today I will make it clear to you. In the future, I will personally consider whether the Dugu family will inherit the title. Don't take it for granted. You can eat these fields that the old man left for you forever. If you don’t want to make progress, no matter how big the family fortune is, you can’t stand it.”
Dugu Zuan was sweating profusely, and kept saying that I knew I was wrong, and I knew I was wrong.
He must be panicking. The emperor's surname is Yang but not Dugu. Their family no longer has enough backers in the court. None of the five sons of the Queen is close to the Dugu family. This is the most terrible thing.
So he asked: "My daughter has been in Luoyang for nearly three years. Can she return to the embrace of the prince?"
"What are you thinking about?" Yang Guang suddenly asked.
Dugu Zu was stunned: "What are you thinking about, Chenchen?"
"Haha." Yang Guang suddenly sneered: "With all your brains, you can't even pluck out enough for me to eat and drink. You still want to have an idea for the prince. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. Which one is you, Yang Yue or Pei Ju?" Can you beat me? Don't lose the rice by stealing the chicken."
Suddenly being seen through his thoughts, Dugu Zuan's throat twitched and he couldn't help but swallow.
"Chenchen definitely has no such intention."
Yang Guang's lips curled up: "That daughter of yours is also a weirdo. The third child treats her very well. She is ruthless and ungrateful. I don't want such a woman as my son."
I shouldn't have mentioned this after all. The road was blocked now, and Dugu Zuan was heartbroken.
Yang Guang scolded Dugu Zuan again, but finally agreed with Dugu Ji to return to Beijing and take up the post of Youjianmen Mansion.
After all, the scolding was related to relatives, not outsiders. When it came to outsiders, Yang Guang was still a little measured when he scolded him. The more he was a member of his family, the harsher the scolding would be.
Of course Dugu Zuan understands this truth. You are not afraid of the emperor scolding you, but you are afraid that the emperor will ignore you.
Yang Guang also hated that iron could not become steel, because even Dugu Zhuan was not enterprising. He only wanted to make a lot of money by guarding the canal, and never thought of entering the Shangshu Province.
The ambition of a sparrow.
There is a reason why Yang Ming chose Dugu Ji, because in history, after Yang Guang died, Dugu Ji and Wang Shichong supported Yang You in Luoyang to succeed him. However, Dugu Ji was incompetent, so when Pei Renji and others conspired to assassinate Wang Shichong. , did not call him together.
Later, Wang Shichong poisoned Yang You and proclaimed himself king. Duguji decided to quit and planned to take his whole family to join Li Yuan.
Duguji called Li Yuan his cousin, which was a sign of his family defecting to his own family.
But the incident was revealed and Duguji was killed by Wang Shichong.
And how did Wang Shichong die in the end? Dugu Ji's eldest son Dugu Xiude avenged his father, and together with several brothers, assassinated Wang Shichong in Guanzhong.
What Yang Ming likes is not Dugu Ji, but Dugu Xiude.
You must know that Li Yuan promised not to kill Wang Shichong but to exile him to Shu. Dugu Xiude took great risks to assassinate him and was dismissed from office afterwards.
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been integrated. Most of the people who are most filial are also loyal.
In fact, Yang Ming also thought about whether Li Yuan secretly gave the opportunity and secretly asked his cousin to fulfill his wish without him being able to come forward.
The possibility is not small.
Therefore, Yang Ming could only give it a try. If it was a good talent, he should focus on cultivating it, otherwise he would just throw it away.
After Duguzhan returned home, he immediately summoned his daughter, but the housekeeper said that his daughter had gone to Jiangdu to play.
"Why did you go to Jiangdu again?" Dugu Zuan was furious. His daughter had recently changed her hobbies and didn't go out hunting much. After all, most of the best friends were called back by the family to arrange their futures.
Therefore, Dugu Feng'er used her family to control the water transportation business of Tongji Canal, and often took boats south to Jiangdu to enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan.
The steward said: "I went with the canal. Counting the days, I will be back in three to five days."
"Someone else's daughter has long wanted to leave the court, but I am better off raising a wild boy," Dugu Zuan glared at his second son Dugu Xin and said:
"I will lock her up when she comes back this time. She is not allowed to go anywhere. Also, find a way to let the prince know that I have locked up Feng'er and see how he reacts."
Dugu Xin frowned and said, "I'm afraid the prince won't like it?"
"Just to make him unhappy!" Dugu Zuan slapped the table and said:
"It's best to get Feng'er away from me as soon as possible. I don't want to be like Yang Da, raising a girl who is spotless and refuses to be courteous. Wu Hua's son, the warrior Yu, is also a wonderful person. This is not the same as Yang Da. I've been trying to flatter Yang Da's daughter for three years, but I still haven't taken it off."
Dugu Xin smiled and said: "Luoyang Cheng of Wuhua, it was King Guan who asked the crown prince for help. How could he not please the Prince Guan's house? I heard rumors that Yang Da's daughter still has a bit of a crush on the warrior Yi. It’s interesting, otherwise I would have told him to stay away, how could he be given a chance like this?”
"This is why the bastard fell in love with Mung Bean," Dugu Zuan sneered.
On the canal, Dugu Feng'er stood facing the wind. The family's boat had unloaded its cargo at Banzhu Pier, and she took the boat directly along the Luoshui River and entered Luoyang City.
Once people have something to do, they will have less time to think about things, but Dugu Feng'er felt that no matter how fulfilling her day was, there was still a lingering figure in her mind.
Just after landing, her second brother Dugu Xin had been waiting for her for a long time.
"What a surprise, why are you waiting for me here?" Dugu Feng'er said with a smile.
Dugu Xin smiled: "I came to pick you up on my father's orders. Grandpa said that you are not allowed to leave home from now on. This is home, not Luoyang, right?"
Dugu Feng'er suddenly frowned: "Why? Where did he have a good cramp?"
"My father is doing this for your own good. Feng'er, please come back with me." After that, dozens of people gathered around Dugu Feng'er and Dugu Bailou.
Dugu Bailou didn't react at all, because Dugu Xin winked at him.
Dugu Feng'er snorted coldly, didn't take it seriously, and followed her brother home.
He knew what kind of character his father had. As long as he made trouble, his grandpa would become soft-hearted. Maybe he was out for too long this time, which made his grandpa unhappy.
But this time, Dugu Zuan meant it.
After his daughter returned home, he didn't even see her. He immediately ordered his daughter's courtyard to be locked and she was not allowed to leave.
Dugu Bailou must be unconstrained, so she went to Dugu Zuan to ask why.
"Other than the prince, who else dares to take her in now?" Dugu Zuan was still very polite to Dugu Bailou: "But this girl is obsessed with not going back, and there is no letter from the prince. I am also worried."
Dugu Bailou raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean to let Yang Ming take the initiative to ask for someone?"
"That's what I mean," Dugu Zuan said with a smile, stroking his palms: "The relationship between you and the prince is extraordinary. It is most appropriate for you to come forward. Feng'er is not young, so he cannot continue to be so crazy."
"I can help with this, but there is a condition," Dugu Bailou said.
Dugu Zuan was overjoyed and said, "Say it."
Dugu Bailou looked up at the other party and said directly: "Don't get involved in Yang Ming's palace affairs. You can't afford to play this game."
Dugu Zun was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly became solemn.
Dugu Bailou snorted coldly and said: "If you were the minister Zuopushe, why would Feng'er do this? Do you think she doesn't want to see Yang Ming? She is worried that you will involve the Dugu family. Don't think that Yang Ming is easy to talk to. With that knife, anyone can be killed."
Dugu Zuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that Dugu Bailou had served the Holy Empress all his life and had extraordinary knowledge, and he really expected his daughter to go to the East Palace to compete for favor, so as to benefit the family.
"Think about it carefully. If you really want to do Feng'er's good, don't stretch your hands so far, at least not now." Dugu Bailou stood up and said: "Both Yang and Pei families are suppressed by Yang Ming. What do you think?" Who are you?"
Dugu Zun's mouth twitched and he did not dare to speak.
In terms of seniority, Dugu Bailou was his aunt. She had taken care of the prince when he grew up, and he couldn't afford to offend her.
