"Hedong?" Although Empress Dugu didn't understand why Yang Ming pointed at the map through gritted teeth, she still smiled and said, "You are really good at choosing, Ah Lou, tell me."
"yes,"
Aunt Lou bowed and came to Yang Ming's side, squatted down and pointed at the map and said:
"The capital is in Guanzhong, and to the east is the Yellow River. The place that crosses the Yellow River is called Hedong. Hedong County has ten counties under its jurisdiction, namely Hedong, Sangquan, Fenyin, Longmen, Ruicheng, Anyi, Xia, and Hebei.
Yi clan, Yuxiang, there are two big clans in this place, Hedong Liu clan and Hedong Pei clan."
"Prince Taibao Liu Min came from Yuxiang County, Hedong (now Jiezhou Town, Yanhu District, Yuncheng, Shanxi). He passed away in the first year of Kaihuang. His son Liu Ang was appointed as the governor of Luzhou and was a good friend of the Supreme Being. He is now in Shangdang County.
After Your Highness seals the seal, you can pay your respects when you have free time."
"Hedong County is under the jurisdiction of Jizhou. The name of the governor is Zhao Yu (jiong). The governor is in Xindu County (today's Jizhou City, Hebei Province). This person comes from the Zhao family in Tianshui, and his mother comes from the Liu family in Hedong. He has a son named Zhao Yichen, who is now in the East Palace.
As an official, when His Highness takes over the domain, the palace will say hello to Zhao Xuan."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obtains this fief, then the management, taxation, and land of the entire ten counties in Hedong will be separated from Jizhou and assigned to you. Then His Highness's title will be Hedong County Prince."
Ten counties? All belong to me? Hahahaha
Yang Ming laughed wildly deep in his heart, "Am I not equivalent to the top leader of a prefecture-level city? And I have more power?"
Not long after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the powerful title of king would not affect the national tax revenue. After all, the fiefdom also had to pay taxes.
It's called a fixed tax.
The sons also failed to live up to expectations. The Zhao Yichen in front of him later squeezed out Li Gang and became the prince Xima. After Yang Yong was deposed, he defected to Han Wang Yang Liang.
Chen Shuyi gritted her teeth angrily, blushed and went behind the screen, carrying the chamber pot and left angrily.
"My father likes to make friends with local heroes. He often gets together with friends and drinks until dawn. He is quite prestigious in Jizhou and is very popular among the people. Once."
He can now appoint royal officials. In layman's terms, the company can be established and recruit troops.
Well, the boy named Zhao started to praise his father.
However, Zhao Yichen found this sentence quite useful. After all, Yang Ming was praising his father.
As Yu Wenshu's adopted daughter, Chen Shuyi lived in Yuwen Mansion in Daxing City and was quite familiar with Daxing. However, she seemed not to be happy with Yang Ming's proposal.
Yang Ming chuckled and did not answer him directly. Instead, he changed the subject and said:
"As the governor of Jizhou, your Majesty is a high-ranking official in the border area. After I was granted the title, I said that I had no choice but to pay a visit. I wonder what your Majesty, Mr. Zhao, does in your daily life?"
Chen Shuyi was helpless and clasped her hands in salute. She was about to leave when she was suddenly stopped by Yang Ming: "Take the chamber pot behind the screen and give it to you as a reward."
So from now on, Yang Ming is already the de facto vassal king.
Zhao Yichen came nominally to congratulate Yang Ming on being crowned king on behalf of the East Palace, but in fact he came to convey Yang Yong's oral message.
Yang Ming looked her up and down and said with a smile, "What is your duty?"
Dugu Jialuo seemed quite satisfied when he saw Yang Ming, and she was also very satisfied and said with a smile:
"When my son comes of age, he can become a vassal, but now he can send people to build a mansion in Hedong, divide the land and recruit domestic slaves."
Chen Shuyi stood upright and sighed: "I will do whatever you ask me to do."
In any dynasty, the Nine Tribes must be punished for rebellion, but Zhao Yichen did not do so because he was born into a powerful family. The Tianshui Zhao family could not punish the Nine Tribes. There were too many of their tribe serving as officials in the court, and Yang Guang was so ruthless.
No one can kill the Zhao family.
She changed into a light blue female official uniform, and her long hair was tied into a hat called a futou, revealing her long and snow-white neck. The close-fitting clothes made the scenery on her chest particularly eye-catching.
Finally, when Yang Guang ascended the throne, Yang Liang refused to obey and rebelled. After the defeat, Zhao Yichen was executed as an accomplice.
A few days later, Yuwen's female thief, Chen Shuyi, came back.
Chen Shuyi suddenly raised her head and looked at Yang Ming with a surprised look on her face. Her expression seemed to be asking: I already told you that I don't want to see you anymore, why do you still want to go?
Yang Ming chuckled and said, "You will do whatever I ask you to do."
There is no grand ceremony for conferring a king, it is just a matter of Yang Jian's will, which can be announced to the world.
Just think about being given away by your biological parents to someone else, and almost becoming someone else's child concubine. No one would feel good if you left it alone.
The amount paid to the treasury in a year is fixed, and the rest can be yours.
So later he was convicted of being an accessory, the genealogy was changed, and all of his Tianshui Zhao clan were killed. Zhao Xuan was extinct from then on.
Yang Ming nodded, it was indeed reasonable.
It is said that Chen Shuyi seemed to be only seven or eight years old at that time.
Yang Ming was stunned: "Why?"
"Yes," Ah Lou nodded.
As for sealing the place, he is not in a hurry. He can only go when he reaches the age of fifteen. Now he is just occupying the place first.
After chatting for a long time, Zhao Yichen seemed to suddenly remember that he had strayed from the topic and continued:
I’m going to meet Mao. Hedong is separated from Xindu County where the governor’s office is by a Shanxi province. I’m too lazy to go there.
"I don't want to meet them."
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince heard that Chen Shuyi has become the female official of Yuehua Palace. He thought that if His Highness has some free time, he can often take Miss Chen to the East Palace for gatherings."
In this way, starting from next year, the tax revenue of the ten counties in Hedong will pass through his hands, and a fixed portion of it will be turned over to the national treasury.
But this person died early and would be dead in two years.
Chen Shuyi knew not to contradict Yang Ming too much, and said helplessly: "They gave me away in the first place, so I don't want to see them again."
That afternoon, a guest came to Yuehua Palace, Zhao Yichen.
Yang Ming pretended to listen carefully.
You are so courageous. Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo both know this, but you still dare to come?
It seems quite similar to that.
If you want to become a prince, that is, a one-word king, you have to wait until his father becomes the emperor.
Yang Ming said: "Okay, let's go down and make arrangements. We'll leave tomorrow."
The next day, Zongzheng Temple began to engrave the seal, customize the crown and belt, load the genealogy, and then handed it over to the Ministry of Rites to organize the specific matters.
"Ahem," Yang Ming coughed lightly: "Pay attention to your identity."
He is the youngest son of Zhao Xuan, the governor of Jizhou. Relying on his father's relationship, this boy is now serving as an official in the Prince's East Palace.
As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, Zhao Xuan is paving the way for his son. If Yang Yong successfully ascends the throne in the future, then his son, as a minister who serves the dragon, will definitely have a high official position.
"No reason," Chen Shuyi said directly.
Haha, still not giving up on Chen Shuyi?
"Damn, you are such a little genius. This is definitely the best answer I have ever heard." Yang Ming clapped his hands and smiled: "The Holy Queen once said that you can go out of the palace to visit your parents. I happened to be holding back in the palace.
I've been here for a long time, and I'm just thinking of going out for some fresh air. Please arrange the itinerary."
In fact, Zhao Xu was indeed a good official. When he was at his most impressive, he served as the right servant of Shangshu at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, which is Yang Su's current position. However, he was a bit rough and did not know how to promote.
, he actually argued with Yang Jian, so he was demoted again and again, and became the governor of Jizhou.
Unfortunately, Yang Ming knew very well that Yang Yong could not become emperor. In terms of mental ability, he was not at the same level as his father.
"The winter solstice will be in six days. At that time, all the civil and military officials of the dynasty will come to the East Palace to pay their respects. Remember to take Miss Chen with you when your highness goes down."
Then, Dugu Jialuo looked at Alou and said: "The Supreme Being is still at the court meeting. You are going to deliver a message now, saying that the land of Qilin'er has been selected and the construction of the palace is about to be done. Let Yu Wenkai (Ministry of Works Minister) give you some snacks."
Especially the huge gap in status caused by the subjugation of the country. How can a little girl's family bear it?
There was a hint of warning in his voice.
"Haha, definitely," Yang Ming smiled and sent the person away, standing outside the door and sneering.
This kid thought that by being close to Yang Yong, he would not take him seriously. In two years, his father will become a bastard, and he will have to deal with some bastards one by one.
Especially the three white-eyed wolves of the Yuwen family. These three are ranked higher than Shimin's children on Yang Ming's must-kill list.
