Historically, Yang Guang's succession to the crown prince was not complicated, and the whole process was quite smooth.
To put it bluntly, the main reason is that Yang Yong has no legitimate son. If there is a legitimate son in the East Palace, Yang Guang will not even think about seizing the clan. If he dares to have such an idea, Yang Jian and his wife will be the first to kill him.
Just as Zhu Biao had not died, Zhu Di would not have rebelled.
This is fate.
The death of Concubine Yuan has already determined the inevitable outcome of Yi Chu in the East Palace. Maybe before that, Yang Jian was hesitant, but now, there is nothing to hesitate about.
As Yang Lihua said, since ancient times, no concubine has inherited the family business. This is true for clan officials, noble businessmen, and common people's families.
Yang Yong's accession to the throne was justified, but what about his son?
If the eldest son of the concubine, Changning King Yang Yan, inherits the throne in the future, will the orthodox bloodline of Yang Zhao and Yang Ming rebel? Will the legitimate sons of the King of Qin, King of Shu, and King of Han rebel?
Will they accept as emperor a bastard whom they despise from the bottom of their hearts?
When the time comes, when all the kings rebel, what kind of chaos will the world be like?
Dugu Jialuo was in a good mood because of her eldest daughter's statement, but she also wondered why Lihua said this to Minger instead of directly to me.
She looked at her grandson beside her suspiciously and fell into deep thought.
Yang Lihua once told Yang Ming that Yang Ming was not allowed to tell anyone about their agreement. Of course Yang Ming would do it, but he was also very distressed.
Because while Yang Lihua gave him benefits, she also gave him an extremely difficult task.
At Dugu Jialuo's signal, Alou exited the room and closed the door.
Five hundred knights escorted six carriages, leaving the palace, walking along Zhuque Street, and then exiting from Mingde Gate.
"What do you think?" Yang Lihua looked directly at Nai's mother for the first time: "Don't you understand the meaning behind my arrangement?"
Yang Lihua shook her head: "Since you have already chosen Amo, then Zhao'er will take over the title. Yang Jian can be transferred to Yangzhou General Manager, and Yang Ming can be transferred to Jingzhou General Manager. The fiefdom will remain unchanged. If the fourth and fifth elders are dissatisfied, I will send them away.
.”
"Are you afraid that Zhao'er will fight with the brothers Ming'er? This is impossible. Ming'er is the third son, how can he fight with the eldest son?"
In the dark dormitory, Ah Lou ordered a few more lamps to be lit, and the light became much brighter.
And Yang Ming's statement at that time was very clear: Do your best to preserve it.
Dugu Jialuo had a dull look on his face, and he didn't recover from the shock for a long time.
Yang Lihua was not in a hurry, and quietly looked at Dugu Hou in a daze. Anyway, if A Niang did not agree to this condition, she would not compromise.
Dugu Jialuo couldn't help but smile and said: "Since you were a child, what has never satisfied you? Even now, among your brothers and sisters, I and you are still the ones who love you the most. Tell me, what are the conditions?"
Jingzhou is so important. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, there were four general administrators. Jingzhou was one of them. It governed 22 counties. It had great power, second only to Yangzhou and Bingzhou, and above Yizhou.
Kaihuang Calendar, the first day of August,
After a while, she asked tentatively:
"Anyway, these two positions are already vacant and cannot be handed over to foreigners. If you are worried that Yang Ming will not be able to control Jingzhou in a short time, just find a good assistant."
After all, he is the king of the county. If the gift is not more valuable than others, it will be a shame.
Dugu Jialuo was stunned for a moment, put the beads in her hand aside, and slowly rubbed her fingers on the tables. She was a smart person and knew that the more outrageous something sounded, the more fishy it was.
There is only one inn along the way, in Fengyi County (Dali County, Weinan City), and then you cross Pujin Ferry, which is Hedong.
After that, Yang Lihua left directly. Dugu Jialuo was in a mess. She didn't sleep well to begin with, and she couldn't sleep well tonight.
Dugu Jialuo and her daughter were the only two people left in the room.
Yang Lihua knew that she needed to give her mother time to think about it, so she stopped forcing her and stood up and said:
Guo Yilang's general Pang Ben also came to the palace to report. When he came, he led ten guards. These ten people had been under his command for many years and he used them smoothly.
After a long time, Dugu Jialuo sighed: "Can't we wait until he reaches adulthood?"
"Yang Su was full of praise for the boy afterwards, calling him a great young talent. He Ruobi also praised him in front of others for his ability to see fire. He is so powerful. As you said, he is only twelve years old, but what did he do? Is there anything that a twelve-year-old child can do?"
When the water level is high, the pontoon bridge will be flooded and it will be impossible to cross. Then you need to transfer to Tongguan, where there is a Guandu where you can cross the river by boat.
Yang Yinjiang also wanted to say hello. After all, this girl usually looked for him too frequently. Out of politeness, he should also inform the other party.
Anyway, I won't stay in Hedong for long, I will be back in half a month at most.
Because if Yang Guang succeeds to the throne, Yang Zhao will be recognized by the world as the future prince. He is both direct and long-standing, and his status is unshakable.
He was a palace guard, so naturally he had already heard about it. He knew that the King of Jin would be extremely valuable in the future, so he was very happy to work as a guard for Yang Ming, and he had even begun to look forward to the future.
As for becoming a vassal as soon as possible, Yang Ming did not need to be reminded by Yang Lihua. Yang Ming had already had this idea. If he wanted to compete for the reserve, he would have to wait until Yang Zhao died of illness six years later. During this period, he had no chance.
I definitely have to work hard to fulfill my promise to Yang Lihua, but the result cannot be changed.
"I won't hide it from you. It was this guy who brought it up to me to frame Jushi Liu. He believed that I was behind Yang Xun's affairs and blackmailed me. As for Yang Yue, he was just running errands for him. At the meeting, He was so hard on Yuan Min that a Zuowei general was dismissed. You saw it in your eyes. Why did he target Yuan Min? Isn’t it because when he begged for mercy to the third child, Yuan Min went against him? "
Three days later, Dugu Jialuo returned to the palace, and his five daughters and one grandson each returned to their respective homes.
"What?" Dugu Jialuo was stunned. She never expected that her daughter would make such an unbelievable request to her.
Furthermore, his father Yang Guang may not allow him to stay in the capital.
This is called a reward, not a congratulation, because Li Jing is not qualified enough to be congratulated by Yang Guang.
In this case, why is he staying in the capital? It is better to become a vassal as soon as possible and recharge his batteries.
The comb has the meaning of knotting hair, which means growing old together. This thing is a must-have item in the Sui Dynasty to congratulate newlyweds. As for whether it is valuable or not, it all depends on the material it is made of.
Can Yang Yong be saved? If he can't be saved, Yang Guang will never let Yang Yong live, or even let any of Yang Yong's descendants live in this world.
Yang Ming was granted the title of General Manager of Jingzhou. What would his other two sons, Yang Xiu and Yang Liang, think?
The root of this matter is that Ming'er is only twelve years old, how can he sit in such an important position? Isn't this child's play?
Dugu Jialuo said with a solemn expression: "Aren't you kidding me?"
Pujin Ferry is paved with a pontoon bridge. Whether you can cross the bridge depends entirely on the water level of the Yellow River.
That night, Yang Ming stayed in Furong Garden. Judging from Dugu Jialuo's posture, he estimated that he would stay here for a few more days.
Yang Ming has really spent a lot of money. If the other party was not Li Jing, he would not be able to part with it. Now that he has done it, the remaining scraps of Khotan jade in his hand are only three pieces.
Dugu Jialuo said: "I heard from Ming'er that you will support me?"
Yang Lihua lowered her head and fiddled with her fingernails, and said in a cold tone: "There are conditions."
If you take the Weishui River, the journey is shorter and safer, and you can get there just by sleeping a few times on the boat. But because it is boring, Yang Ming wants to take the land route.
Yang Lihua raised her head, looked at the flames flickering in the lamp in the distance, and said:
"Let Yang Ming take office as the general manager of Jingzhou."
Yang Lihua said lightly:
"Everything is done in advance, otherwise it will be ruined. Will there be a fight? You have to prepare for the worst. When Shi Wansui grabbed the credit, he was working behind his back. Shi Wansui dared to contradict Grandpa, but he was suppressed by this kid.
He was forced to bow his head to Yang Su."
So he took the scraps of Khotan jade he had in his hand and ordered the jade craftsmen of the royal palace to make a pair of bracelets and a comb.
Dugu Jialuo pondered for a long time and then said, "At this time, let me discuss it with your grandfather and then make a final decision."
Yang Ming was about to prepare a congratulatory gift for Li Jing. First of all, it shouldn't be too shabby.
When Yang Lihua mentioned Yang Ming, she seemed to have endless things to say, which made Dugu Jialuo dumbfounded.
But she wasn't done yet:
"It has only been more than half a year since I was granted the title of Prince of the County, right? They have already taken Xiao Maha to Hedong, and have arranged for Li Jing and Fang Xuanling to take up posts in Hedong. They have already chosen good talents even before they were granted the title of vassal.
, this boy works in an orderly manner, makes decisions before taking action, and can sit down and discuss things with people like Yang Su. He only needs prestige to take office in Jingzhou, but prestige must be accumulated slowly."
As for Yang Jian's appointment as the general manager of Yangzhou, it will be much easier. After all, he is an adult and married.
The one made of Khotan jade is definitely not practical and cannot be compared to a wooden comb. It will break if you use it to comb your hair a few times, but it is expensive.
No one can stop this.
Pujin Ferry is one of the two major ferries that must pass through Guanzhong and Hedong areas. The other is Longmen Ferry. There is no Fengling Ferry. Fengling Ferry was only established in the Tang Dynasty.
"How many people have interceded for the third child? How many times have I begged you in private? Why did what he said get everyone's approval and make you change your mind?"
This time when he goes to Hedong, Yang Ming doesn't plan to take Chen Shuyi with him. He might as well let her live in Jinyang Tower to keep company with her new best friend Gao Yue.
This was Yang Ming's first time leaving Beijing, so Yang Guang and Concubine Xiao were not at ease, so they asked Ma Laoliu to follow them and sent additional manpower to form a fully armed cavalry team of 500 people.
After Yang Guang knew the purpose of Yang Ming's trip, although he was surprised, he still asked someone to prepare 10,000 yuan as a reward for Li Jing.
Her main crux is that Yang Ming is too young, has not yet gotten married, and has not yet established a family. It is difficult for people to feel reassured when he takes up such an important position.
Hedong is the Yuncheng area of Shanxi Province, which is very close to Daxing, also known as Xi'an. It should only take three hours by bus.
Of course, transportation is inconvenient in the Sui Dynasty. Going to Hedong by land will take about five or six days if everything goes well. It is summer now, there is a lot of rain, and the water level of the Yellow River changes from time to time.
Yes, it will change over time, because if there is heavy rain anywhere in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the water in the lower reaches will rise.
