This trip to Hedong gave Yang Ming a huge sense of gap. It was the first time that he left Daxing, the capital, and came to such a relatively prosperous and developed county in the Sui Dynasty.
Compared with Daxing, Hedong is really a very poor place. Perhaps as Yang Lihua said, if Yang Ming stays in Daxing, he will be gradually corroded and develop a desire for power.
This is a fact. If you are used to living in a place like Daxing, you really can't accept a small county town.
But this is his fate. He is a county king and will be a prince in the future. He must join the feudal vassal. The capital is not the place for him to stay.
Just like Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, and Yang Liang, the king of Han, they were not allowed to enter the capital unless they were recruited. If Yang Jun, the third child, died, they could not come back to take a look.
But people like Li Yuan and Fang Xuanling are obsessed with sneaking into the capital from the local area.
Of course, Li Yuan also knew in his heart that he would have to be released in the future, but he would have to think of a way until he climbed up the ladder and was qualified to be released as a governor.
The next day, Yang Ming returned and left. Dou Qing and others stood at the gate of the city, watching Yang Ming's motorcade disappear from sight.
Dou Qing asked someone to find out that the reason why Li Jing was able to serve as the Prime Minister of Hedong County was because Yang Ming greeted Li Bu, so he had always been pretty good to Li Jing and never gave him any shoes.
He was even more afraid now, because he had already received news from Daxing that King Jin would be extremely valuable in the future.
But this kid was very fat, so Yang Ming hugged him for a while and then threw him to his wet nurse.
She also has best friends, one is Yu Wenshu's wife Dugu, and the other is Guo Yan's wife Wang.
And Dou Qing just made excuses for the King of Jin staying in the capital. Could it be that
Li Jing's body trembled and he looked at Dou Qing in disbelief.
Li Yuan's wife, the Dou family, was born in the Daibei Dou family and the Xianbei tribe. Her original surname was the Hedouling family, which was changed to the Dou family during the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Dominated in the Guanzhong area, it occupies the absolute initiative.
Their family is not only the relatives of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but also the relatives of the Sui Dynasty. They are quite powerful.
At this time, unless his head was kicked by a donkey, he would offend Yang Ming.
So Dou Qing asked, "What has the pharmacist heard from the capital recently?"
Li Jing frowned when he heard this: "Is there some inside story?"
In any case, he is the Duke of the country, the founder of the country, and his title is the same as that of Yang Su, Su Wei, and He Ruobi, which is the third level.
"Don't dare, don't dare," Li Jing hurriedly raised his glass, feeling extremely shocked.
He often heard that the prince fell out of favor with the two saints, but he never imagined that such a day would come to him.
The prince is the legitimate eldest son, so although he has made mistakes, he should not be like this.
Perhaps because he was too young, Yang Ming did not feel the slightest threat from the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but this kid would really be a troublemaker when he grew up.
Li Shimin can't speak yet, he can only babbling. He even thinks it's interesting to smear snot on his body, so he follows suit, puts his fingers into his nostrils, picks up a handful of snot, smears it on himself, and then rushes in
Yang Ming grinned.
Two years is not a short time. You live in the palace, you are raised at the knees of the Holy Queen, and you have known each other for two years. This shows that the relationship is unusual.
Otherwise, wouldn't Yuwenshu be Yang Guang's uncle?
On this day, Yang Ming went to Li Yuan's house with his mother and concubine to visit his wife Dou.
Li Yuan and his son really gained momentum after they entered Guanzhong, because the main forces in the Guanzhong area were taken away by Qu Tutong and Song Laosheng, leaving the capital empty, allowing Li Yuan and his son to capture Daxing and in turn deal with Qu Tutong.
Dou Qing stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The vassal king is not allowed to enter the capital without being called up. Although the King of Jin came to express his condolences to the Crown Princess and later led his troops northward and returned with a great victory, he really shouldn't stay in the capital for so long now. Besides,
None of the kings of Shu or Han came to the capital to express their condolences, so why was it only the king of Jin?"
Yang Guang was ignorant and unprincipled because of the right circumstances, and occupying the capital was a favorable location. The reason why Li Yuan and his sons were able to conquer the world was because they occupied the Guanzhong area.
If he were to be the son of any moderate emperor in Chinese history, he would definitely choose to lie down.
In the Sui Dynasty, there were not many better vassal territories than Hedong.
However, Li Jing also probably heard some problems from the other party's probing words. The King of Jin was originally the general manager of Yangzhou, guarding the southern part of the Sui Dynasty, and commanding the military affairs of the forty-four states. In such a key position, he should indeed return to the fiefdom early and stay in the capital for a long time.
When something goes wrong, something big will happen.
His father, Dou Yi, was the son-in-law of Yu Wentai, the leader of Shenwu County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Shangzhu State, Da Sima, and Guanlong Group.
Killing brothers, taking possession of younger sisters-in-law, forcing fathers to abdicate, none of these are things that ordinary people can do.
Li Yuan and his wife welcomed Concubine Xiao into the mansion respectfully, while Yang Ming was taken by Jiancheng who took the initiative to take him by the hand and said that he would take him around the mansion.
Of course Li Jing would not refuse and said with a smile: "Mr. Dou please."
Li Yuan and his wife received the news and waited outside the house early.
Yang Ming walked out of the carriage and immediately saw the graceful lady beside Li Yuan and the two children she was holding on her left and right hands respectively.
After returning to Beijing, as soon as she returned to the palace, she heard from Concubine Xiao that Li Yuan's wife had come to Beijing.
Qu Tutong is just a cavalry general at the moment. As for Song Laosheng, I haven't heard of him. You can ask the staff about it when you get back.
One is Jiancheng's child, and the other is Shimin's child who is one and a half years old. To be precise, he is two and a half years old, because he is considered one year old after he is born.
"You've been working hard these days, pharmacist. Let's go and have a drink at my house."
In this way, Yang Ming will be
On his return trip this time, Yang Ming decided to take Pujin Ferry. He originally planned to take a long detour to the north to have a look at Longmen Ferry, but the weather seemed to be changing, so it was best to cross the pontoon bridge as early as possible to avoid the water level rising.
I can't get through it.
They must find someone to form an alliance with, otherwise Qu Tutong from Hedong will see them heading south and will chase them all the way.
It seems that Shimin's children are here too.
He was also curious in his heart, so he whispered: "Please Mr. Dou to clarify my doubts."
In the Prefect's Mansion, Dou Qing and Li Jing sat opposite each other, asking the maid next to him to pour wine for them, and said with a smile:
"How long have the pharmacist and His Highness the King of Hedong been friends?"
But Concubine Xiao wanted to go out for some fresh air, so she took the initiative to visit.
Shimin was still young, so the wet nurse was following him. Yang Ming took the initiative to pick him up, raised his hand to wipe away the two pieces of snot hanging under his nose, and then wiped it on Shimin's clothes.
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and then slowly savored this sentence in his heart. Yang Ming was the king of the county, and the east of the river was a rich land. How could he call it a small place?
In other words, Dou is the granddaughter of Yuwentai, and Jiancheng Shimin is the great-grandson of Yuwentai.
Dou Qing could see that the other party understood it by heart, so he raised his glass and said: "Dou will not be able to say anything in the future. I have to ask the pharmacist for more advice."
Song Laosheng thought so at the time, so he underestimated the enemy and left the city rashly.
In fact, in the Battle of Huoyi, Song Laosheng only made one mistake, that is, he should not be lured out of the city. As long as he did not leave the city, there would be reinforcements at Longmen Pass across the river behind him to relieve the siege. It did not take many, one or two thousand people were enough.
.
As for whether Li Yuan will be left behind in Taiyuan in the future, as happened in history, this is not Yang Ming's final say.
Unlike Dou Qing, he is a relative, and his elder brother Dou Kang also served as a guard for Yang Jian.
Yang Ming couldn't help but look at the other person. Jiancheng undoubtedly took after his father in appearance. As for Shimin, he looked more like Dou, but he was only two years old, and his appearance hadn't fully grown yet.
Why? I don’t know why. Li Jing is really not qualified enough, so he has no source of information regarding matters related to higher-ups.
Don't look at how miserable Li Yuan's family background is described in Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but his family background is quite strong.
Don't think too highly of Li Yuan and his son. They didn't have many soldiers at that time. It's not an exaggeration to say that they were a rabble.
Li Jing said: "In total, it has been nearly two years."
In short, as long as they cannot cross these two ferries, Jinyang cannot be saved, because the Turks and Liu Wuzhou will raid Jinyang.
Originally, Li Yuan had sent a message long ago, saying that Madam had settled down and would come to pay her respects to Concubine Xiao.
Concubine Xiao stayed in the palace all day and had nothing to do. It happened that Mrs. Li Yuan came to Beijing, so she wanted to visit her so that she could find someone to talk to to pass the time.
Li Yuan was rich, very rich. He lived in Longqingfang, which was only one lane away from Chongrenfang, where the Jin Palace was located. They were both on the 93rd line of Daxing City.
Yang Ming was also amused. Children are just fun.
This boy, are you the one who took over our Yang family’s home?
Did he really not know, or was he pretending not to know? Dou Kang asked again: "The King of Jin has been in the capital for half a year. What does the pharmacist think?"
Although Qu Tutong pointed at his neck and said, "I should take a knife for the country," he surrendered in the end. Li Yuan named him Minister of the Ministry of War and Li Shimin's marching marshal Chang Shi.
Although his father Yang Guang is not yet in power, the true side of his character has gradually begun to emerge. Yang Ming feels more and more that his influence on his father Yang Guang is actually very limited.
"Capital Master?" Li Jing shook his head: "I just heard that the previous Minister of Civil Affairs, Hu Lu Xiaoqing, just passed away."
Dou Qing now wanted to curry favor with Yang Ming, so of course he would take the initiative to show his favor to Li Jing, the popular person in Yang Ming's eyes, so he answered ambiguously:
"A small place like Hedong is probably not a place where the King of Hedong will live for a long time."
Pujin Ferry and Longmen Ferry are the two major crossings from Shanxi to Beijing. When Li Yuan and his son rebelled, if they could not defeat Song Laosheng in Huoyi, they could only go south to find a way out, or form an alliance with Li Mi's Wagang to attack Wang Shichong of Luoyang, or
Allied with Dou Jiande of Hebei Province to deal with Li Mi.
Yu Wenshu's wife Dugu, according to many unofficial historical records, is the fifth daughter of Dugu Xin and the sister of Dugu Jialuo. In fact, she is not, she was just born in the Dugu family of Luoyang.
Wouldn't it be nice to eat, drink, have fun, and live a leisurely life?
The true meaning of life lies in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. This is the principle of life that an old man named Qin summed up only when he was seventy years old.
Yang Ming deeply agreed.
It's a pity that his father is Yang Guang. If he lies down, he will follow Comrade Yang Guang and lie underground in the future.
When you lie down like that, you really feel flat.
