Li Yuan asked for money from the court, but it was a little late and the time was too urgent, so he raised some in the Taiyuan area and dressed up Jinyang County to welcome Yang Guangda.
Who is the richest person in Taiyuan? The Wang family of Taiyuan, Li Yuan’s only sister is Wang Yu who is 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 Secretary and Young Supervisor, the second-in-command, in 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.
The money owed to the Wang family will be repaid by Li Yuan as soon as the funds from the treasury arrive. He cannot rely on his in-laws to default on the debt.
Fifty miles north of Jinyang City, Li Yuan waited until he arrived at 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 the 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 have merit. The prince has left a place 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 curled up his lips and said hehe: "There are no outsiders here. You are my cousin. You can say whatever you want. If I say you have merit, you have merit."
"I'm ashamed of myself," Li Yuan chuckled.
Yang Guangdao: "What the prince means, 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 it 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 resigned. 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 so close to the prince now. 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. They were very familiar with each other. Yang Guang knew all about Li Yuan's peeing.
"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 in history, his cousin replaced the Tang Dynasty with the Sui Dynasty, 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: "Well... I have the intention of reaching a higher level, but it's just inappropriate for my 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 of the word "Gao Pan". Li Yuan was the Duke of Tang Dynasty and a relative. Who else could he Gao Pan?
Li Yuan nodded with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Qin has also reached his age. I am afraid that others will take advantage of him first, so I have the audacity to propose it."
"You really dare to think," Yang Guang said speechlessly: "Li Xiaoshan is also my cousin and will marry 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. 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 cannot be accomplished. 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 had recruited young girls from Jinyang to enter the palace in advance to enrich the palace. Yang Guang was also 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.
Sitting in the lobby, Dugu Huaien frowned and said:
"How to greet her? This place smells of coking 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."
You are 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."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Dugu Huaien said: "Then wait until the people from the Ministry of Etiquette arrive. How do you want me to greet them in the ravine?"
"I heard that Your Majesty sat all the way back from Guanfeng Xingdian. We have a road outside and cannot enter the Xingdian." 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 were not a relative, with your level of consciousness, you would at most 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 Huaien was not happy: "The prince is waiting for the money he earned with 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. 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, do you?"
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 he 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 asked, "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, slapped the table and said, "You said so earlier, wouldn't it be over? Your Majesty is just here to take a look around the training ground, and won't stay overnight, so he will let the Pei family make arrangements. Anyway, there is Dou Qing above, and he 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
This is a sloppy place. When dozens of blast furnaces are burning, the sun cannot be seen. How can Yang Guang spend the night here?
After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he began to tour various places, and local officials 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 Governor Lu Zhang, Changping Governor Liu Bing, and Hanoi Governor Zhang Dinghe are already nearby.
They petitioned 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 and passed all nine counties south of Jinyang. It didn't matter if the journey was long. He was not afraid of hardship and just liked to wander around.
Especially with so many people waiting to flatter him, Yang Guang couldn't wait any longer.
What does it mean to be a civilian thief? The country is facing such a difficult situation, but he still wants to play this trick. When he tours like this, the governors of the nine counties have to work hard 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 a million-strong army 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.
