Yang Ming didn't know yet whether Wang Bo was dead, but the rebel Meng Rang and his thirty-six thieves were escorted to Beijing.
Those who deal with rebellion have always been punished to the maximum extent, and naturally they are also sentenced to death.
Anyway, be cruel, cruel and brutal, otherwise, you won't be able to shock the world.
As long as the people of the world feel that the consequences of rebellion are so miserable, no one will dare to rebel easily.
There has been no precedent for punishing the Nine Tribes, but Meng Rang's immediate family members will definitely be killed, and the Yi Tribes cannot escape.
Since the advent of the Chinese Criminal Code, until the seventh year of the great cause, no one has been punished by the Nine Tribes, because the first person in history to be punished by the Nine Tribes was Comrade Yang Xuangan. Historical records show that 36,000 people were implicated by him, and three Ten thousand were killed and six thousand were exiled.
But in this life, the possibility of him rebelling is slim.
According to historical description, the reason why Xuangan rebelled was because Yang Guang said something after Yang Su's death: If Su is not dead, the nine tribes will be barred.
It means that even if Yang Su doesn't die, I will kill all nine of his tribes.
When these words reached Xuangan's ears, the seeds of hatred were planted in his heart. Moreover, Yang Su did indeed die of illness, but during his serious illness, Yang Guang sent an imperial doctor to visit him every day. He was somewhat hoping that he would die soon. In order to save the family, Yang Su voluntarily gave up treatment and died early.
In history, Yang Yue also fell into the hands of Yang Guang, and the relationship between Yang Xuangan and Yang Yue's uncle and nephew was very deep.
His biological father and uncle were both killed by the same person. Yang Xuangan naturally wanted to take revenge. However, the Hongnong Yang family has never recognized Yang Jian's branch, so Xuangan felt that an unorthodox person like you could become the emperor. , then wouldn’t it be possible for me, an orthodox Hongnong Yang, to become one?
So he rebelled with great force. Li Mi gave him the upper, middle and lower options at that time, and he chose the lower one. You can't say that Xuangan made the wrong choice, but Xuangan didn't know that Luoyang, where his father supervised the work, was not at all Unable to hit.
Fan Zigai, who was guarding Luoyang at that time, played a desperate game and held Xuangan back. When Hu'er and Wei Xuan arrived, they attacked him from east to west. Yu Wenshu and Qu Tutong arrived, and Yang Xuangan was finally defeated and killed.
If Xuangan went to attack the capital at that time, but he still couldn't defeat him, then history will record that it was Li Mi who tricked him, instead of like now, it was Xuangan who didn't listen to Li Mi, which led to his defeat.
If Li Mizhen had this ability, he would not have been severely injured by Yu Wenhuaji and lost to Wang Shichong. Compared with Yu Wenshu and others who came to protect his children, these two people were not on the same level.
Times make heroes.
The number of victory or defeat is not clear in the first place. If we really want to delve deeper into the defeat of Xuangan, the main reason is that the defeat was due to the wrong time of the rebellion.
The main force of the Sui army just went to Liaodong, not all of them died. It is irrational for you to rebel at this time.
However, in this life, Xuangan's hidden dangers have been almost completely eliminated under Yang Ming's step-by-step arrangements. Even if Xuangan is really unhappy with Yang Guang, he will not rebel in this life.
Their family was the most powerful in the East Palace. This was deliberately arranged by Yang Ming, firstly to be obedient, and secondly to stabilize Xuangan.
The court held a brief discussion and decided on Meng Rang's punishment.
Yang Ming still doesn't know what's going on in Goguryeo, but he knows what's going on in Shandong.
The warrior Xun was very capable. Not long after he went to Shandong, he reduced the price of local food by half. Of course, it was still much higher than before the expedition to Liaodong.
The most commendable thing is that he is willing to give grain to the people on credit. Don't think that only the court dares to default on the debt. Although the common people don't have the courage to default on the debt, they have the heart to default on the debt and they don't want to pay it back.
The warrior Xun had already thought about it from the beginning. If he really wanted to default on the debt, he would not pursue the payment, because his purpose was to appease Shandong, not to make loan sharks.
Businessmen like this are public and loyal to the country.
So in recent days, every time Yang Miaozhi followed Yang Jianzhen to visit Yan Xiaotang in the East Palace, Yang Ming would praise her future husband whenever she met him, which made Yang Miaozhi very happy.
If you can make the prince appreciate you, the road to becoming a knight in the future will be much smoother, which is a good thing.
Li Jiancheng is very prosperous now. Although he is not a high-ranking official, he is just a waiter who hosts guests, but he can follow the prince every day, have his bowl for eating, his cup for drinking, and can participate in state affairs, and he is like a confidant.
"This can't be done by Mr. Chu. Their family is not short of money." Li Jiancheng was sitting in the palace. After reading a report thrown by Yang Ming to him, he frowned and said, "It should be the people below their family who are causing trouble." , has nothing to do with Duke Chu."
The warrior Xun was a shrewd man, and he knew what should and should not be said about Shandong matters. However, Zhang Xutuo was currently in a critical period when he was about to become the prince's disciple, so he would report everything.
Someone in Yang Xuangan's family took advantage of the situation and bought land cheaply in Shandong. Zhang Xutuo was better than Xuangan and didn't dare to stop him, so he reported it to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming smiled: "Xuangan is also to blame for not restraining the people below. The warrior Yu is comforting him in front, while his people are holding back. If I turn a blind eye, I don't know what they are going to do. Trouble is coming.”
Li Jiancheng nodded. His family also annexed land. In fact, all wealthy families were doing this.
If he is caught, he will blame the people below and let them take the blame. After the limelight is over, they will change people to continue doing this. Therefore, Li Jiancheng knew very well that the annexation of land in Shandong must have been instructed by Yang Xuangan, but he Can't say that.
Because their family also does this, the master is not guilty, it is the people below who are messing around.
Yang Ming is definitely not in a hurry to deal with this matter now, because annexing acres of land mainly belongs to landlords, and the few acres of land under the names of ordinary people are not looked down upon by others.
When will it be processed? Wait until Xuangan gets fat.
This is called big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimps. Xuangan is annexing the landowner's acres below. When he annexes a certain amount, Yang Ming will seize them all. After seizing them, he will re-grant the land to the people.
It was like Xuangan had tricked the landlord, and Yang Ming legitimately took all the problematic acres into the treasury, and then redistributed them. After several moves, the acres finally fell into the hands of the people, which was a good thing.
Although the common people will be annexed by landlords in the future, the landlords will be annexed by aristocratic families, and the aristocratic families will be annexed by powerful families, they will fall into a vicious cycle again.
But Yang Ming has already planned to reform Tianmu. Although major changes cannot be made, otherwise it will affect the interests of the aristocratic family, small changes are already imminent.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Xuangan donated food to Shandong, and he would definitely not do something like this to drain the firepower. You are right. It should be the people below him who are doing whatever is wrong. I will send people to investigate."
Li Jiancheng nodded and changed the subject: "His Royal Highness is eight years old, can you choose a marriage?"
Yang Ming was stunned and said: "What? Does your family have this intention?"
Li Jiancheng chuckled: "Who among the wealthy families in Guanzhong doesn't have this intention? Our family does have a girl of the right age, but her father passed away early, and the family is not worthy of a son."
You know you're not worthy and yet you still say this? Yang Ming smiled and asked: "Which one?"
Li Jiancheng hurriedly said: "My second uncle, Li Zhan, left behind two sons and one daughter. They are all raised in my family, the legitimate son Li Boyi, the legitimate daughter Li Xiaoshan, and the concubine Li Fengci. Xiaoshan is twelve years old this year, four years older than the prince. He is beautiful, dignified, and well-educated. .”
Li Yuan was the fourth eldest son in the family. He had no chance of receiving the title of Duke of Tang, but he was so lucky that all three of his brothers were dead.
The eldest brother Li Cheng died in infancy without heirs, the second brother Li Zhan also died after leaving two sons and one daughter, and the third brother still died in infancy, so Tang Guogong fell into the hands of Li Yuan.
It can be seen that there is something wrong with the genes of their old Li family.
Regardless of the fact that Dugu Jialuo is Li Yuan's biological aunt, this Tang Guogong must have someone in Li Yuan's family, because this title comes from Li Hu, one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, who is a core member of the Guanlong aristocratic group.
Yang Ming finally understood. No wonder Jiancheng would say that he was not worthy of Yang Rui. A little girl without a father and a mother was just a piece of grass.
"I used to go to your house often, but why haven't I seen these three?"
Jiancheng replied: "My mother didn't like it, so she kept her in another courtyard and seldom came out to see guests."
The Dou family would definitely not be happy raising three outsiders for nothing, but if Li Yuan doesn't raise them, who will? Three brothers are dead, how can he not care?
The Duke has been attacked, but he still can't raise his three nephews?
Yang Ming smiled and said: "I can't decide on the prince's affairs. My father, the emperor and his mother will decide later. It's useless for you to tell me."
Li Jiancheng sighed after hearing this: "I feel sorry for my girl's miserable life. I have always thought about finding a good family for her in the future. It just suddenly occurred to me today that I mentioned it to His Highness. In fact, I have no hope."
Yang Ming asked deliberately: "How are her two brothers?"
Li Jiancheng was stunned: "How do you know that you are both brothers, Your Highness?"
"Nonsense!" Yang Ming rolled his eyes and said, "Your father inherited the title twelve years ago. Is it possible that your second uncle can still have children after his death?"
Li Jiancheng hurriedly smiled stupidly and said: "I thought His Highness had a clever plan. His two brothers were overspoiled by my grandpa and have a somewhat domineering personality. They are both ineffective."
Even if it doesn't work, you still have to thank others, because historically after you were killed by Shimin, it was Li Huairen, the son of Li Boyi, who gave you the heir.
Your sons died at the hands of your brother.
Yang Ming nodded: "Did you have this idea, or was it Duke Tang? Don't fool me."
"Hehe!" Jiancheng said with a silly smile again: "The prince is a master of clever calculations. It was indeed my grandfather's idea. I thought it would be difficult to handle this matter at the time, but my grandfather insisted on letting me give it a try."
This is the difference between you and your father. Doing things that are difficult to do is the way to do great things. If you don't do things that you know are difficult to do, you will end up doing nothing.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Your father wants him to tell His Majesty that although I am the father, I can't make the final decision on Yang Rui's affairs."
After all, Yang Rui is not the prince's son, he is the prince's eldest son and the future successor.
