Yang Ji went to Youzhou twice. Once when Yang Liang rebelled, he was ordered to arrest Dou Kang, the general manager of Youzhou who had an affair with Yang Liang, and once to take revenge on the Khitan. Although there was no conflict with the Yuan family both times, he could

He knew that the Yuan family was extremely powerful in Youzhou, so Yang Ji even though

I didn't expect Yang Guang to be obsessed with the Yuan family, but the Yuyang family's "Yuyang family" was not only Yang Guang's target to deal with the Yuan family in a roundabout way, but also the biggest obstacle to Yang Ji's control of Youzhou. Even if Yang Guang didn't remind him, he would still think about it.

Methods should be used to eliminate the influence of the Yuan family and the Yuan faction in the army.

However, Yang Guang clearly gave him the right to deal with the Yuan family, which made him understand two things: First, Yang Guang asked him to go to Youzhou and Liaodong to cause trouble, mainly to let him deal with the Guanlong nobles, and the target was still the Yuan family.

Second, Li Zixiong, the governor of Youzhou, reported in a memorial that Yuyang Governor Yuan Jie collaborated with officials under his rule to set up checkpoints to collect taxes privately. However, Sili Cheng Liu Xiuwen, who was ordered to inspect Youzhou, said that the officialdom of counties and counties in Youzhou was clear, and conversely said that Li Zixiong and Mo

Yu Wenshu, the Protector of the State

, Yan Xun, the prefect of Liaodong County, extorted money from officials and withheld military pay. This shows that Liu Xiuwen is most likely the mouthpiece of the Yuan faction, and Li Zixiong, Yu Wenshu, and Yan Xun were also involved in the game against the Guanlong nobles, and things changed.

It's got to be a bit complicated.

Yuwenshu and Yanxun are better off. Among them, Yuwenshu has long since excommunicated himself from the Guanlong aristocratic group. His eldest son Yuwenhuaji now works in the Department of Integrity, and together with Xiao Yu and Yang Gongren, he has taken down more than 10,000 unofficial officials with criminal records.

and idle officials, the Yuwen family became a street rat that everyone yelled at, and their situation was not much better than that of Yang Ji. The Yuwen family now had no choice but to hang out with the royal family.

The Yan family where Yan Xun belongs is just a small and medium-sized family of the Guanlong nobles. His father Yan Rong was reported to Yuan Hongsi and sentenced to death by the late emperor because of his violence. Therefore, not only did he have a grudge against the Yuan family for killing his father, but he also had no power to rely on. In addition, he

He married Yang Xiong's third daughter, so he willingly became a relative of the royal family.

Compared with the first two, Li Zixiong is much more complicated, because he is a descendant of the Li family in Zhao County, and his elder brother Li Ziquan is a representative of the Shandong gentry. Although he is loyal to the court and Yang Guang, his background makes him

When considering issues, the family comes first, the Shandong gentry secondly, and the king and empire last.

As the governor of Youzhou, if Li Zixiong was involved in the utilitarianism of too many families and factions when dealing with the Yuan clan, instead of seriously cooperating, things would be troublesome and complicated. And if Yang Ji could not solve the problem of Yuyang of the Yuan clan in time

However, Yang Guang appointed him as the general manager of the Liaodong march and gave him the right to kill first and report later. These two items alone were enough to make Li Zixiong a bit more honest.

Yang Guang confirmed that he understood what he was thinking, then put the matter aside and changed the topic: "As for the Yuan family, if you can't find a place to start for a while, you might as well go to Qiu County, Shanggu County to visit you first.

The head of the Lu family, Lu Chisong, is the son of the late Lu Sidao, the governor of Wuyang County."

Having said this, Yang Guang smiled slyly and continued: "The Lu family and the Yuan family are fighting for the dominance of the Western Liaoning Corridor trade route. There are countless open and secret fights. As long as you are polite and humble when you visit the Lu family, the Lu family will definitely be happy to be your

Right-hand assistant."

Yang Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he exclaimed ecstatically: "Brother gave me a pillow just when I was about to fall asleep. If I have Lu's help, I will get twice the result with half the effort."

Yang Guang was also very happy to see Yang Ji so excited. He suddenly thought of something and asked with great interest: "Vajra slave, I heard how many maids you have who have made military achievements?"

When Yang Ji heard this, he felt a little faint in his heart. He knew that Yang Guang was referring to the ten maidservants donated by Yang Su. Although the origins of the two maidservants were not important, what was important was what Yang Guang said about "achieving military merit."

"This shows that Yang Guang knows that he likes to take women to fight. If he is investigated, it will be a taboo for military officials.

When he first noticed that Yang Guang was looking at him with a half-smiling look rather than a questioning look, Yang Ji immediately became more courageous and said in a calm tone: "There are indeed a few of them, Concubine Liu Rumei, pleasant.

Zhang Chuchen is one of the maidservants, they are good at martial arts and have spied on a lot of military intelligence for me."

"Concubine Liu, Zhang Yiren, I know. I don't mean to blame you." Yang Guang waved his hand, smiled and comforted: "I also think that female soldiers are more careful than male soldiers in many specific matters;

On certain occasions and in certain battles, they are more useful than male soldiers."

Yang Ji breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously: "In that case, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Yang Guang looked at Yang Ji with a strange look, chuckled and said, "I have no other intention, I just feel that since they have made meritorious service to the country, they must be rewarded."

Yang Ji felt a bad feeling in his heart and quickly said: "They don't care."

"They don't care, but I do. As the emperor, I can't keep rewards and punishments unclear." Yang Guang said seriously: "But they are women after all, and they are yours. I can't let them enter the palace as female officials. That's good.

, I will give each of them a royal decree."

Yang Jigan laughed and said: "Brother Rongzhen, little brother, I and them are innocent. We are extremely innocent! If you give me a royal title, what will happen?"

Yang Guang sneered and pressed closer: "If you were really innocent with them, would you take them wherever you go? Let me ask you, if I asked you to give away those maids, what would you do?

Are you happy? Do you agree?"

"I'm definitely not happy about that, I'm definitely not agreeing with it." Yang Ji answered very decisively. For him, he was already used to the existence of the top ten martial maids. Liu Rumei and Zhang Chuchen were his wives, so naturally they couldn't give them away, but in addition

He couldn't give away eight of them. First, they knew too many secrets. Second, he seemed reluctant to part with them.

"Isn't that right?" Yang Guang rolled his eyes and sneered disdainfully: "I really didn't see when did King Wei become so pedantic? Since you like the woman around you,

, then you should take it as your own, so as not to regret it in the future. If something goes wrong, I, as the head of the family, will take care of it. What are you afraid of?"

After saying that, Yang Guang pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said: "Oh, I understand. The dignified King Wei is afraid of his wife. He is afraid that she will beat and scold him, so he does not dare to take a concubine. But I am not telling you, you are just a bitch.

How can you achieve great things if you are brave?"

The most serious problem of the royal family is that the number of people is small and the family is not prosperous. Yang Jian's five sons now only have three, Yang Guang, Yang Xiu, and Yang Liang. The eldest son Yang Yong is dead, and his heirs were also expelled from the royal family and quietly transferred away.

Although Qin Wang Yang Jun, Yang Xiu and Yang Liang

Although they all have sons, they are not many. Yang Guang himself has three sons. The eldest son Yang Zhao is too fat, Yang Jian is a problem "child", and the youngest son Yang Gaogang was born not long ago. There are grandchildren, but they are too young.

Within this year, we will not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Currently, the only high-ranking officials in the Sui royal family are the four princes and Yang Xiong and Yang Da brothers, as well as Shu Wang Yang Xiu, who has just been transferred to Zongzheng Temple Minister, and Yang Gongren, who has been transferred to Minister of Civil Affairs.

Such a low population and few high-ranking royal officials put the Sui Dynasty in a situation where the leader was weak and the ministers were strong, which was not conducive to the stability of the country. Yang Guang now very much hopes that the descendants of the royal family will marry more wives and have more sons. Good.

Within twenty years, the royal family was prosperous and had many children.

Only when there are more people in the royal family, he, the emperor and the head of the family, can choose the best among them and become an official. The great Sui Dynasty will be permanently consolidated because of the large number of talents from the royal family. If the royal family continues to be as underpopulated as it is now, even if there will be few in the future

His sons and nephews are all mediocre, so he can only use them, but this is not conducive to the inheritance of the country.

As an emperor, he has so many things to do and is so busy that he wants to spend every breath and breath on dealing with state affairs. He has no time, no energy, and no intention to pamper the beauties in the harem, so he can only focus on reproduction.

The great cause of population is left to brothers, nephews and nephews.

As for Yang Ji, this kid would only have three sons if he didn't have children. Since he is so good at giving birth, he should have more children to share more of the population pressure of the royal family.

Hearing the word "rat bile" and the inference given by Yang Guang that he was afraid of his wife, Yang Ji was immediately dissatisfied and upset. He immediately said loudly: "It's really a big joke. I, Yang Ji, have grown so big. Apart from my aunt and

My mother-in-law

In addition, I have never been afraid of anyone. Even my uncle is afraid of me. As for Aying's gentle temperament, I have long since treated her properly and honestly. Let me tell you, I let her

To the west, she will never dare to go east."

"Afraid of my wife? Humph, how is this possible? I'm not afraid, I just don't want to have a concubine."

When Yang Guang saw that Yang Ji refused to admit that he was afraid of his wife, he suppressed a smile and nodded with satisfaction: "This is my good brother, this is the Sui Army God that I admire the most.

He is indeed a responsible man and lives up to my expectations."

He chuckled and said, "Okay, you can go back."

Yang Guang was stunned and asked with a dark face: "That's it? Are you having fun making fun of me?"

Yang Guang looked at the dumbfounded Yang Ji, rolled up his sleeves with satisfaction, pretended to challenge him, and then asked with a smile: "I'm just playing tricks on you, what can you do?"

"As long as you are happy." Yang Ji was immediately frightened.

Yang Guang is a complete pervert. Even if Yang Ji puts aside his status as emperor and lets go to fight, he can't beat him.

It's better to admit defeat than to get beaten.

"Haha, hahaha!" Yang Guang laughed proudly when he saw this.

Yang Ji laughed so hard that he became angry and said angrily: "I can't beat you, but I can beat your son."

Yang Guang smiled even more heartily: "Then just go ahead and fight, I don't care."

"Aye, aye!" At this moment, a crisp call suddenly came from outside the palace, and a girl who looked like a porcelain doll walked in. The person who came was none other than Princess Yang Feihong of Qinghe.

Yang Feihong was born in the third year of Renshou and is now five years old. Yang Jian named her the Princess of Qinghe. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was promoted to Princess Qinghe. The biological mother of the little princess was Xiao Pin, and Yang Gao, who was born not long ago, was her half-father.

Mother and brother.

When Yang Guang saw his baby daughter arriving, a soft and doting smile immediately flashed on his face, but thinking that Yang Ji was still on the side, he immediately put on a serious face: "Hong'er is good, Aye is with me.

Your Uncle Wang is discussing state affairs and will be playing with you later!"

Princess Qinghe sweetly called Yang Ji "Uncle Wang", then with a sullen face, she scolded Yang Guang mercilessly: "Aye is a liar, a big liar!" Although her voice was clear and sweet.

, but it contains great anger.

When Yang Guang saw that his daughter seemed to be really angry, he couldn't hold it in any longer and hurriedly ran down from the throne: "My daughter, how come Aye has become a big liar?"

Princess Qinghe said angrily: "Aye is really a big liar. Last night you said you would play with me and ride on my horse, but I waited for you all night and you didn't come."

"Pfft..." After hearing these words, Yang Ji burst into laughter. He looked at Yang Guang, who was wearing a "dragon robe", and couldn't help but picture Yang Guang crawling on the ground as a horse.

"Get out!" Yang Guang's face was as red as pig liver, and he kicked Yang Ji hard.

"I'll dodge!" Yang Ji turned sideways and ran away without looking back.

After running far away, he secretly glanced back, and saw Yang Guang carrying Princess Qinghe on his shoulders and walking slowly in Anren Hall. Only then did he realize that this horse was not that horse, and that this imperial horse was the standing horse.

Instead of lying on his stomach like he did for his son to ride.

"Cackle!" At this time, Princess Qinghe's silver bell-like laughter came to Yang Ji's ears.

As he listened, a warm smile appeared on Yang Ji's face,

Because of his arrival, the Great Sui Dynasty underwent earth-shaking changes. In just a few years, all aspects of the Great Sui Dynasty developed in a healthy and orderly manner.
