Li Yuan asked for money from the court, but it was a little late and the time was too hasty, so he raised some himself in the Taiyuan area and dressed up Jinyang County to welcome Yang Guangda.
Who is the richest person in Taiyuan? Li Yuan's only sister was Wang Yu, who was married to the King of Taiyuan.
When Yang Ming did not have Prince Xian Ma, Pei Ju once recommended Wang Shao, but Yang Ming did not approve it in the end. However, this man is now serving as the second-in-command of the Secretarial Department.
The four Wang Shao brothers are the most upright branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Their ancestor is Wang Wei, the great-grandson of Wang Jian, the general of the Qin Dynasty.
Either way, genes are a very magical thing. The Wang family in Taiyuan has a particularly significant genetic characteristic, rosacea, which is nicknamed "King Xiao" by others.
Li Yuan will repay the money owed to the Wang family as soon as the funds from the treasury arrive, and he cannot rely on his in-laws to default on the debt.
Fifty miles north of Jinyang City, Li Yuan waited until Yang Guang's Guanfeng Hall, and ran over all the way:
"Your Majesty, with his millions of troops, has achieved great achievements for all generations. Your Majesty, Li Yuan, would like to congratulate you."
A chamberlain waved to Li Yuan, meaning come up, His Majesty wants to see you.
Li Yuan hurriedly straightened his clothes and carried his skirts up to the palace.
"Your face used to look like grandma's face, but now it's better and more wrinkled," Yang Guang said with a smile.
Li Yuan apologized and said with a smile: "In order to build Jinyang Palace for Your Majesty, I dare not slack off for a day. Under the wind and sun, my face became even more ugly, which made Your Majesty laugh."
"Eh~~~ It's not ugly to say the least, it just looks too old," Yang Guang said with a smile: "Although you didn't join the army this time, you still made a contribution. The prince has left a position for you, it depends on whether you want to do it or not."
Li Yuan's heart moved. My daughter is the prince's woman and has given birth to a son for the prince. She is one of his own. The prince's recommendation should be meaningful.
"How dare I ask for credit? It is a lifelong regret that I could not accompany your Majesty on the expedition to Liaodong," Li Yuan said pretendingly.
Yang Guang's lips curled up and he said: "There are no outsiders here. You are my cousin. If you have anything to say, you can say whatever you want. If I say you have merit, then you have merit."
"I'm ashamed of myself," Li Yuan chuckled.
Yang Guangdao: "The prince means that it is not suitable for anyone to move the eight seats now, and it is not easy to move. When the king resigned from Jingzhao Yin, many people wanted to take it over. The prince stopped him and left it for you. Are you satisfied?" "
In fact, Li Yuan had already guessed that such an important position as Jing Zhaoyin has been vacant since Yang Xiong left office. What does it mean? It means that no one in the capital is suitable to take over, and the suitable person is outside the capital.
The emperor went on an expedition and the prince supervised the country. Jiancheng is now so close to the prince. He must have been on the same page. Jing Zhaoyin, I am satisfied. After all, this position has never been for ordinary people.
Li Yuandao: "Whatever duties I may perform are subject to His Majesty's decision."
Yang Guang grinned: "Okay, it's settled, you will come back to Beijing with me this time."
Li Yuan nodded, and then pretended to be embarrassed again.
Yang Guang saw this and knew that this old boy was pretending again. The two of them were cousins and had known each other since childhood. Yang Guang knew all about Li Yuan's urine.
"Don't be hesitant, just tell me what you have to say. Do you have to wait until I ask? You look like grandma, and your temperament is like grandma," Yang Guang was speechless.
If he knew that the cousin in front of him replaced the Tang Dynasty with the Sui Dynasty in history, I wonder if Yang Guang would strangle Li Yuan to death.
Li Yuan said cheerfully: "Second brother Li Zhan's legitimate daughter Xiaoshan is also twelve years old this year. I want to find a match for her."
Yang Guang raised his eyebrows: "Just tell me, whose family you like? I'll make the decision for you."
Li Yuan said sheepishly: "This machen wants to reach a higher level, but it's just a bit inappropriate for his seniority."
Yang Guang was stunned: "You are not attracted to my grandson, are you?"
The reason why he could guess it at once was because Li Yuan was the Duke of Tang Dynasty and a relative of Gao Pan. Who else could he be high on?
Li Yuan nodded with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, King Qin, has also reached his age. I am afraid that others will take advantage of it first, so I have the audacity to propose it."
"You really dare to think," Yang Guang said speechlessly: "Li Xiaoshan is also my cousin, marrying my grandson? Aren't you playing the piano randomly?"
My daughter is still your cousin and niece, won’t she also marry your son? Li Yuan said: "It's not impossible, right?"
"Nonsense!" Yang Guang said: "Don't mention this matter again. Rushing to curry favor with the prince is not the way to curry favor with him. If you have this intention, I support you, but you can't do this nonsense."
Li Yuan has given up. The emperor has said so, so this matter will not happen. Thinking about it, he is too greedy and always wants to take advantage of it.
Can you take them all?
Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it anymore.
Yang Guang moved into the newly built Jinyang Palace that night. He was very satisfied. The wood here was the same as that of Ziwei Palace in Luoyang, which was very exquisite.
Yang Guang lived comfortably, especially because Li Yuan recruited young girls from Jinyang to enter the palace in advance to enrich the palace. Yang Guang was pleased to see the young girls in their prime, and he praised Li Yuan for his ability in doing things.
Nonsense, even your cousin knows exactly what you are.
Dugu Huaien, who was in Hedong, also received the order. When the emperor went south, he would make a special trip to Hedong to have a look at the training ground.
He is not like Li Yuan who knows how to flatter people. He cleans the roads and strictly enforces hygiene. If there is nothing else, you can come in the same way as others come in.
But Yun Dingxing understands.
"The business deals with several business groups in Jiangnan have been concluded. We still have plenty of time. Should we allocate some money to welcome the Holy Driver?" Yun Dingxing asked.
Dugu Huaien was sitting in the lobby. Hearing this, he frowned and said:
"How to greet her? This place smells of burning coal. No matter how you dress up, you still look like this. No matter how you dress up, an ugly daughter-in-law will still be an ugly daughter-in-law."
He is a straight man. I will obey you. Yun Dingxing smiled and said: "His Majesty returns south, and everyone is celebrating. Etiquette is indispensable. Maybe someone from the Ministry of Etiquette will come to make arrangements in a few days."
Dugu Huaien said: "Then let's wait until the people from the Ministry of Rites arrive. How do you want me to greet them in the ravine?"
"I heard that Your Majesty sat in the Guanfeng Palace all the way back. We have a road outside and the Palace cannot be entered." Yun Dingxing was hinting to him that you have to build the road.
Dugu Huaien said with an indifferent expression: "If you can't enter the palace, wouldn't it be better to take a chariot instead?"
I guess, if you weren’t a relative, with your level of consciousness, you would at best be a blacksmith. Yun Dingxing said with a speechless expression:
"It's still too late to build a road now. You don't want an official career, but I do. This road must be built."
Dugu Huai'en was not happy anymore: "The prince is waiting for the money earned from the Jiangnan business group. We spent it here, what did the prince spend?"
Don't think about the prince first. There is an emperor above the prince. In terms of seniority, the emperor spends first, right?
Yun Dingxing said: "It doesn't cost a lot to build the road. Mr. Dou will help recruit manpower, and we will just provide some food."
"No money," Dugu Huaien said: "You don't know what the prince is using the money he asked us for, right?"
Yun Dingxing shook his head: "Why would the prince tell me such a thing?"
Dugu Huaien grinned and said, "This is the money the capital has given to His Majesty to prepare for the celebration. Are you going to welcome the Crown Prince? You don't have to welcome the Crown Prince?"
Yun Dingxing's cheek twitched and said: "We don't even have a decent resting place here. Your Majesty is here, where can we rest?"
Dugu Huaien said: "Dugu Xin is on the other side of the mountain. Isn't there a villa? It's much more comfortable than here."
Yun Dingxing was dumbfounded: "Where do you want Your Majesty to go to the land of fireworks? I'm telling you, Grand Governor, you are doing whatever you want, don't drag me down?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Dugu Huaien said, "Is it possible that I build a palace in the training ground?"
Yun Dingxing said distressedly: "That's not what I meant. Let's discuss it with the Pei family and let them be responsible for picking up the driver."
Dugu Huaien laughed loudly, patted the table and said, "You said so earlier, couldn't you have finished? Your Majesty just came to the training ground for a walk. He won't stay overnight, so he let the Pei family make arrangements. Anyway, there is Dou Qing, who is ranked according to seniority. It’s not my turn either.”
This is indeed the case. In name, the biggest official in Hedong is Dou Qing, the Duke of Yongfu County. Wenxi is in the training field again, so the old Pei family naturally does their part, and Dugu Huaien and the others are just hard workers. The environment of the construction site It's a sloppy batch. When dozens of blast furnaces are burning, the sun can't be seen. How can Yang Guang spend the night here?
Since Yang Guang succeeded to the throne and began to tour various places, local officials have developed a habit of working hard to beautify their jurisdictions to welcome Yang Guang's visit.
As long as the emperor is satisfied, the reward will be very generous. If you spend money from the treasury to entertain the emperor, the reward from the emperor will be in your pocket.
No matter how you look at it, you won’t suffer.
So an interesting situation formed, everyone was looking forward to the emperor passing by.
Going south from Jinyang back to Beijing, we have to go through Xihe County, Linfen County, Jiang County, and Hedong County. This is the only way to pass, but the Shangdang Prefect Lu Zhang, Changping Prefect Liu Bing, and Hanoi Prefect Zhang Dinghe are already there. They wrote a memorial, begging the emperor to pass by them.
Everyone is doing it for the benefit, and Yang Guang will be very happy after knowing it. This shows that everyone welcomes him and eagerly looks forward to seeing Tianyan.
For an emperor who only wants to show off, of course he needs to hear more flattery to satisfy him.
So Yang Guang changed his original route and decided to go south. He walked sideways. He had to go through the nine counties south of Jinyang. It didn't matter if the journey was long. He was not afraid of hardship and he liked to wander around.
Especially with so many people waiting to flatter him, Yang Guang couldn't wait any longer.
What is a thieves? The country's power is so difficult, but he still wants to play this trick. When he tours like this, the governors of the nine counties have to rack their brains and empty their treasury to welcome him.
Yang Ming, who was in the capital, turned green after receiving the news.
What is the difference between an army of millions following you and locusts crossing the border? So Yang Ming hurriedly reported, hoping that the armies of the various guards could return to their respective ministries as soon as possible and stop wandering around.
You just need to take the left and right guards around, don't take the original crew of the expedition to Goguryeo to wander around Shanxi.
What, are you going to conquer Shanxi yourself?
