Li Jing's residence is an official residence with an area of five acres to the north of the General Manager's Mansion. His wife and children were not brought with him in the capital. Due to the lack of someone to take care of his daily life, Li Jing also married a concubine in Youzhou.
In the huge official residence, only Li Jing, his concubine, two maids, and five or six servants lived, making it look empty. The temple seemed empty.
As night fell, Yang Yuanqing arrived at Li Jing's house. An old servant who was the gatekeeper rushed in to report. After a while, Li Jing came out.
"I was planning to go to the steward's house!"
Li Jing smiled and said: "It should be Sima who goes to see the general manager off. How can there be any reason for the general manager to come to say goodbye to Sima?"
Yang Yuanqing also smiled and said: "There are still a few things that have not been arranged, and I am feeling uneasy, so I came here. If Uncle Shi must follow the rules of officialdom, then come back with me."
Yang Yuanqing called him Uncle Shi, which meant that he was not here for official business. Li Jing smiled happily and said: "Since you're here, let's be in peace. Now that you're here, come to my study for a glass of wine."
Li Jing's biggest hobby is drinking. When he was in bad luck in the past, he used wine to drown his sorrows and often got drunk. Therefore, he also got the nickname "Wine Pharmacist". Although he became the Sima of Youzhou and was busy with affairs, he was no longer as busy as before.
I drink excessively, but I can’t change my habit of having a drink when I have nothing to do.
The two sat down in the study. Li Jing's concubine, Mrs. Wei, brought them a few dishes to go with the wine and warmed a pot of wine. Li Jing poured a glass of wine for Yang Yuanqing. He sighed slightly, "Korea was defeated.
I have no interest in drinking anymore."
Yang Yuanqing picked up the wine glass, stared at the floating hops in the glass, and asked lightly: "Who does Uncle Shi think is the biggest threat to the Sui Dynasty?"
Li Jing was startled. He did not expect that Yang Yuanqing would ask this question. He had also considered this question and said: "Everyone knows very well, the noble Guanlong."
"Why is the Guanlong nobles the biggest threat to the Sui Dynasty? Does Uncle Shi know?".
Li Jing nodded, looked up at the roof, and said slowly: "Actually, the root cause still lies in the mutiny of the Six Towns. At the beginning, Guanlong settled the soldiers from Wuchuan Town. At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the troops of the Six Towns rebelled again, and the world was in chaos. The armies of the Six Towns were divided.
Erzhurong and Hebayue were the two largest warlords in the Northern Dynasties. In the third year of Yongxi
At the beginning, He Bayue, the leader of the Wuchuan Army in Guanlong, was murdered. His army was leaderless. Several generals wanted to be the leader, but no one was convinced. In the end, a consensus was reached and Yuwentai, the general who ruled the city, was appointed as the commander-in-chief. In fact, Yuwen
Tai is only the coach in name only, and the Wuchuan Army is still divided into six generals. ""
Yu Wentai knew this very well, so he followed the example of the eight great officials in the early Northern Wei Dynasty and established the Eight Pillar Kingdom. He appointed one of them as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and the other one was given to Yuan Xin, the clan member of the Northern Wei Dynasty. This was a false title, and the other six pillars were
The country gave six generals in charge of the military, Duguxin, Li
Hu, Zhao Gui, Li Bi, Yu Jin, Hou Mo and Chen Chong, and the Six Pillars Kingdom each have two generals who opened their houses. These are the Twelve Generals, and Yang Zhong is one of them. The Eight Pillars Kingdom and the Twelve Pillars Kingdom
The generals named Kaifu formed the Guanlong nobility, and they were all military households in Wuchuan Town among the six towns."
Yang Yuanqing drank a glass of wine silently. History has its own origins. If you don't understand the history of the Northern Dynasties, you won't understand the continuation of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The power of the Guanlong nobles lies in the fact that they were on an equal footing with Yuwentai from the beginning. They are themselves the product of compromise of interests.
Otherwise, Yu Wentai was only twenty-nine years old at that time. How could he command the Wuchuan Army with any virtue?
Yuwentai's reform of the military system was nothing more than a restoration of the military clan-tribal system at the beginning of the Northern Wei Dynasty. All soldiers followed their master's surname, and the military household system that had already been Hanized was re-Humanized.
If we use a popular metaphor, this is like a hereditary board of directors in later generations, consisting of eight big directors and twelve small directors. Yuwentai is just the first chairman, and Yuwentai’s fourth son Yuwenyong takes over.
The second chairman of the board, the company expanded unprecedentedly, and the chairman became Zhou
Emperor Wu, but it was this second chairman who wanted to change the rules, change the clan military system to the monarchy military system, and seize the military power of other directors. As a result, the directors mutinied collectively, overthrew Chairman Yuwen, and elected a new chairman.
This is Yang Jian, and the company name was changed from Northern Zhou to Sui.
It's just that Chairman Yang was more courageous. Six years after taking office, he disbanded the board of directors and all directors became senior executives. Although the board of directors did not exist, the funds and connections of Sui's company were still in the hands of the directors, and the third
The second chairman, Yang Guang, was even more ruthless and wanted to drive all directors and senior executives out of the company and dig out their roots.
The roots of the directors are in the military. The clan military system implemented by Yu Wentai when he compromised his interests was the initial capital invested by the directors, and the Goryeo War was to completely eliminate these original capitals. In this way, the directors could tolerate it.
?
So Chairman Yang was overthrown by the directors, and Chairman Li was elected. The company's name was changed from Sui to Tang. In the early Tang Dynasty, Chairman Li fully restored the status of directors until a few decades later, a female chairman
It turned out that the board of directors was dissolved again.
China's history is actually a process of continuous differentiation, compromise and integration of various interests, which begins over and over again.
Yang Yuanqing sighed and said: "Uncle Shi, have you ever felt that the Sui Dynasty was following the old path of the Northern Zhou Dynasty again?"
Li Jing nodded and sighed: "The Holy One is too impatient, but it's no wonder. The Holy One has very few heirs. One of his three sons is dead, one is disabled, and one is a child. His grandsons are all equally young. He is afraid that his grandsons are too young to control his power."
The Sui Dynasty was usurped by the Guanlong nobles in the end, so he was eager to completely abolish the Guanlong nobles in his own hands, but he was afraid that in his eagerness for success, haste would lead to waste."
Yang Yuanqing understood what Li Jing meant. Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang also did this, and Liu Bang also did it. This should have been done by the founding emperor, but now it was done by the second emperor. Yang Yuanqing poured a glass of wine for Li Jing and asked again: "World
What do you think of Li Shude?"
"Li Yuan?" Li Jing asked.
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said: "The Holy One said that he is loyal and honest, but timid and cowardly. What does Uncle Shi think?"
Li Jing sneered, "This man looks honest on the outside, but in fact he is treacherous and deceitful. He looks timid and cowardly, but in fact he is ambitious. In this battle of Liaodong, there were many fleeing troops. He secretly gathered many elite people. You don't know."
!”
Yang Yuanqing was puzzled and asked: "The gate of Youzhou City has been closed for more than two months, and he has never left the city. How can he gather Jingzhuang?"
"Where is Li Jiancheng? Have you seen him?".
Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and realized that he had indeed never seen Li Jiancheng. Could it be Jiancheng's doing? He glanced at Li Jing and asked, "How could Uncle Shi know?"
Li Jingdao: "My brother's son was also on the run. He escaped from Liaodong together with Sun Deshun, the captain of Youxun's guard, and Liu Hongji, the servant of Youxun. They met Li Qiansang in Beiping County, and they followed Li Jishao Huangji.
Playing on the road 11 throwing 籱u heartburn agent Song Haozhuo
Zhuang, Li Jiesang was always a sacrifice to the people. Later, my nephew left Li Jiesang for an excuse and told me about this. I went to check the Zhuo County government's account books, and there was no record of these five hundred soldiers.
, I knew that this was actually the heart muscle of Li Han!?br
Only then did Yang Yuanqing realize that Li Yuan had already taken action. He pondered for a moment and said: "Jing Xiangyang was born in Yuan Dynasty and traveled to the Western Regions to become king. Does Uncle Shi still remember this prophecy?".
"There was a huge uproar at that time, and everyone said it was the Yuan family."
Li Jing was suddenly startled and looked at Yang Yuanqing with wide eyes, "You mean, this was actually done by Li Yuan?"
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I said what the Yuan family did was just because we needed to deal with the Yuan family at that time. In fact, I know very well that this was actually done by Li Yuan, who wanted to provoke a fight between me and the Yuan family."
Li Jing was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Yesterday, Li Yuan came to see me, hoping that I could be the teacher of his second son Shimin. In fact, I have seen that child, and he is indeed very good. He can become a great talent, but I just think that Li Yuan is
I had other plans, so I didn’t agree."
"Uncle Shi is right. Li Yuan is very ambitious. He recruited Uncle Shi as his son in the name of seeking a teacher. He also came to see me just now. I hope I can convince Uncle Shi."
"Do you want me to go?" Li Jing stared at Yang Yuanqing.
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I came here to persuade Uncle Shi not to agree. Now that the situation in the Sui Dynasty is unclear, it is definitely not a wise move for Uncle Shi to tie himself to a certain force too early."
"That's why I didn't agree."
"I hope Uncle Shi will follow me. I brought Uncle Shi to Youzhou for this purpose."
Li Jing was stunned. He looked at Yang Yuanqing in surprise, "Could it be that my nephew is also..."
Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, "A cunning rabbit still has three holes, let alone a human being. If the Sui Dynasty loses its deer and the world is in chaos, where should I, Yang Yuanqing, go? Shouldn't I think about it?".
Li Jing nodded silently. He could understand Yang Yuanqing's plan. He looked at Yang Yuanqing and said: "The greatest favor I, Li Jing, have received in my life is from your grandfather. If it is true as you said, there will be a day when the Sui Dynasty loses its deer.
, I will help you, which is also my explanation to your grandfather."
.........
Li Jing wrote a letter and ordered his servants to send it to the prefect's mansion. In the letter, he declined Li Yuan's request for Li Shimin to become Li Jing's disciple. "Although Manager Yang repeatedly persuaded him, Jing's character is lazy and he might miss his son's future, Youzhou," he said.
In this famous place, famous noble families emerge one after another. Within three steps, there must be talented people. Why not join another famous teacher to make a bright future...'
Yang Yuanqing returned to his mansion. It was now the end of September, the breeze was blowing, there was no heat and dryness in the air, and the epidemic gradually subsided. Thinking of returning to Beijing tomorrow, Yang Yuanqing also began to miss his wife and children.
He quickly walked into the mansion, only to see a maid running towards him in a panic, "Master, Miss Alian is sick."
Yang Yuanqing was shocked. He was leaving tomorrow. Why was he sick at this time? He walked quickly back to his dormitory, only to see Alian bending over and retching in the water room on the first floor.
"What's going on? What's wrong with you?"
"I don't know, I just want to vomit, but nothing can come out."
Yang Yuanqing suddenly thought of something and touched her lower abdomen. Could it be...
Half an hour later, an old doctor made a diagnosis: 'Happy pulse!'
