After the feast, Yang Tong and Yang Qi went to the East Palace to meet Yang Dong's biological mother, Concubine Liu!

Concubine Liu and Yang Qi's mother, Liu Liangdi, are twin sisters, her sister died when Yang Qi was five years old, Yang Qi was brought up by her with one hand, because Yang Qi is smart and clever, and Yang Tong was very stubborn when she was young, so that her love for Yang Qi far exceeds Yang Dong, but in the end, the 'son' she likes very much, actually calculated to force her biological son to Hebei Province, which is 'full of war', which makes Concubine Liu very unbearable. Looking at the high-spirited Yang Qi, she felt so strange, is this still the gentle, elegant, filial and benevolent son?

Yang Qi, who was almost drunk, didn't notice the loss and disappointment in Concubine Liu's eyes, and in front of Concubine Liu, he looked at Yang Tong with a little longing, and said in a firm voice: "Second brother, I want to be the emperor's grandson, I hope you can help me." ”

Yang Qi said it very lightly, but it still sounded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day to Concubine Liu. This is not only an expression of his ambition, but also the tone at this time, not so much to make a request to Yang Tong, but to issue an order, this is just a small step, with this attitude to talk to his younger brother, if it really succeeds, will he let his younger brother go?

At this moment, Concubine Liu felt cold and disappointed.

It was Yang Tong who had already been mentally prepared, and this moment also frightened him, and he said for a long time: "Big brother, do you think you can fight the third brother?" ”

"The emperor's grandfather has always wanted to make me the emperor's grandson, Pei Ju, Pei Yun Erxiang and Wang Shichong and others will support me! With the addition of the second brother, I must have won the third brother. Yang Qi looked at Yang Tong quietly, he was waiting for an answer.

"This ......" Yang Tong really didn't know how to answer.

Yang Qi said so straightforwardly, it is definitely not brain-dead.

For a long time, Yang Tong has always been like a loach slippery in the face of Yang Yu's attraction with him. So that neither side dared to offend him, and both sides maintained good relations.

How could Yang Qi not know what Yang Tong's idea was and what he was thinking.

Yang Tong is either smart himself, or he is instructed by a master: he plans to help each other and avoid the wind and waves.

Since Yang Tong was aware of his intentions, if he said it tactfully, it would not only seem hypocritical, but also let Yang Tong pretend not to know and escape, and now he simply said it, so that he could not avoid it, and there was no way to hide, so as to make a choice between him and Yang Yun.

If it was the previous Yang Tong, he might have succeeded, but how could the current Yang Tong be as he wished?

"First, the emperor's grandfather was prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, not to mention that there are still twenty years to go, which is very variable, uncle Yang Yong has been the prince for so many years has been abolished, your so-called 'want to make you the emperor's grandson', it is not a reason for me to support you; That's not why I'm rooting for you, either; Third, Wang Shichong is a villain who relies on sycophancy to flatter the upper position, and he is not the reason why I support you. ”

Concubine Liu almost applauded Yang Tong's reaction: Yang Qi was direct, Yang Tong was even more ruthless. Throughout the ages, there have been many deposed princes, Yang Guang is less than fifty years old, the crown prince is extremely variable, and Yang Qi is not the emperor's grandson! Yang Tong does not need to take the risk of ten or twenty years.

"You ......" was peeled back layer by layer, and only the essence was left, and Yang Qi's face was very ugly.

After being dissected layer by layer, his advantages are gone, and only the identity of the eldest grandson remains, which is far less noble than his grandson Yang Yu in terms of life experience; In terms of ability, Yang Yu commanded the army to quell the rebellion in Xijing for several years, but what about Yang Yu? hangs the identity of a big brother, but has no achievements. You are a person who has no identity, no achievements, and pins his hopes on others, why does Yang Tong believe in you, why does he think that you deserve the emperor's grandson, and why do you think you can keep the position of the emperor's grandson?

"I know you've always been by your grandfather's side, and you haven't had a chance to prove yourself." Yang Tong didn't want to offend him too ruthlessly, Yang Qi was a frivolous and restless political newcomer in his eyes, and it was terrible to be the second Pei behind him.

"How do you prove it?" Hearing this, Yang Qi's expression under the steps looked much better.

"Quell the rebellion in the Central Plains within two years, and prove that you are a qualified heir of the Great Sui with your military achievements, this is one of them; The second and third brothers are more sincere than you. ”

"Sincerity?"

"He regarded me as his second brother and respected me from the bottom of his heart. And not a calling dog. ”

"Sorry, I'm a little drunk today."

"I understand!"

Talked about homely for a while!

Yang Qi couldn't hold back the image of the gentle emperor's eldest grandson, and left a little embarrassed.

"Dong'er, will it be ......," Concubine Liu said worriedly.

"Mother doesn't pay attention to him." Yang Tong shook his head, "Pei Ju and Pei Yun have played tricks even the emperor's grandfather over the years, is there anything so easy to deal with?" Big brother is stupid and naïve. ”

Concubine Liu nodded: "Don't talk about him, my mother wants to hear your reason for going to Hebei Province!" I can now see that you are not ordinary people. Your mind and strategy have surpassed that of ordinary adults, Hebei Province is rampant with bandits, why go to that dangerous place? ”

"Mother, what do you think of the future of the Great Sui?" Yang Tong did not answer Concubine Liu's words, but asked a question.

"This..."Concubine Liu thought for a while, and said gloomily: "After my Great Sui went through several Goguryeo wars, the people were not able to make a living, and the bandits were rampant, and the future was worrying!" ”

"Mother is wrong!" Yang Tong said with a smile: "My Great Sui national strength is still strong, as long as I open a warehouse to release grain and appease the displaced people, the rebellion will be quelled." If the people have something to eat, they will not rebel. The terrible thing is that the imperial grandfather can't hear and doesn't want to hear a real Great Sui, so he lets it go, and his decision to counter violence with violence will only cause more rebellions. ”

"Oh?" Concubine Liu was surprised, he knew that his son was very smart now, but he didn't expect his son to see it so clearly: "Then I'll tell you why the Great Sui is in such a mess." ”

"Land!" Yang Tong popped out two words from between his teeth.

"Land?" Concubine Liu asked a little puzzled, "Why land?" ”

"The victory of my Great Sui Dynasty on behalf of Zhou, is the product of the compromise between the first emperor and the Guanlong magnates, very worldly, my Great Sui royal family only got one, and the remaining nine points are in the hands of the family gatekeeper. After this division of the world was equally divided among the royal family and the founding heroes, the people got very little. ”

"If there is food, the common people will not rebel. But why don't the people have anything to eat? Because of land annexation! Who is annexing the land? A great family! When the land was annexed to the hands of the great families, the people had no land to cultivate, but the population of the country continued to skyrocket. Originally, one acre of land had to support one person, but later one acre of land had to support three or even ten people. If the people have nothing to eat, they must rise up and rebel. Wars all together cost deaths, and some great families were overthrown and wiped out as a result. When the population is small, the land returns to the hands of the common people, and the country is calm. ”

Concubine Liu was stupid, she didn't expect that the reason for the country's turmoil was because of the family: "Then how can we suppress land annexation?" ”

"It's impossible now!" Yang Tong shook his head and said: "The founding of the Great Sui Dynasty was conceded by Zen to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the old system was not completely destroyed in a bloody revolutionary way, which led to the strengthening of the old forces represented by the Guanlong nobles. When the majesty of my Great Sui is weakened to the extreme, they will jump out and overthrow my Great Sui. The current uprising is only a prelude. ”

"The current Great Sui is terminally ill! If you want to save, you can only stand after breaking! Maybe it's nothing now, as long as the majesty of my Great Sui is lost, the world will definitely fall apart, and at that time, a hero will be needed to sweep the world, and this is also a good time to clean up the family. ”

"Alas!" Concubine Liu sighed and said, "It seems that my son wants to be this hero?" ”

There is nothing to hide from his biological mother, Yang Tong said neatly: "The Central Plains is a place of four wars, there is no danger to defend, once you attack others, the third party and the fourth party will inevitably take advantage of the emptiness of the Central Plains to attack, which will cause the forces occupying the Central Plains to be exhausted." Hebei Road is adjacent to the sea in the east, Taihang in the west, the Great Wall of Yanshan in the north, and the Yellow River in the south. After years of war, there were no more great families and great forces there, and as long as the bandits were eliminated, the vast land could be equally distributed to the common people, thus establishing a new foundation without the elbow system of the family. ”

"Alas, I didn't think my son had this ambition too... No wonder I won't support your big brother anymore. ”

"Even the emperor's grandfather can't deter the family gatekeeper, and the crown prince doesn't have the slightest power. And the eldest brother can't see the essence of the world clearly, and he actually conspires with the tiger, which is destined to become a puppet in the hands of others. ”

Yang Qi plays with Wang Shichong, isn't that looking for death?

"My son has such great ambitions, but it's a pity that my mother can't help you with anything......" Concubine Liu looked at her son lovingly, with a deep apology in her eyes.

"Don't say that, you have given life to your child, it is already a great gift." Yang Tong's will was extremely firm, but at this moment, his eyes were red for Concubine Liu's words. Isn't every parent like this, eager to give the best to their children?

Yang Tong's ideal world is a world with the world's poor families as the main force, and there is no need for family valves or relatives, Concubine Liu and Wei Fengwu no longer have any relatives, which is actually the greatest help to him.

Yang Tong's ideal world is a world with the world's cold families as the main force, and there is no need for family valves or relatives, Concubine Liu and Wei Fengwu have no relatives, this is actually the greatest help to him, so as not to butcher the knife in the future. It is impossible for ordinary people, who have 90 percent of the world's population, not to have talents, and the key lies in discovery and use. When this generation grows old and dies, the students of Yixue have already taken shape.

Now in terms of talents, because of the opportunity, there are 40,000 enemies of Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, and Niu Junda, as well as the stable Pei Renji, Jia Wuben, and Wang Wei; In terms of government talents, Yang Gongren and Yang Shidao, who have the talent of prime ministers, have been arrested, these two brothers are royal relatives, and now they are on the thief ship, and they have a relationship with him that is both prosperous and lossy; In terms of culture and education, Kong Yingda was attracted by the 'Yixue' of Henan Province, this person is a descendant of Confucius, and he can use this name to attract a group of grassroots talents.

When the reserve officials brought by Er Yang are appointed one by one, then the poor talents will flock in.

After chatting with Concubine Liu for a while, Yang Tong returned to the palace.

Wei Fengwu told him that Wang Shichong gave him many gifts, including ten carts, which contained all kinds of coral agate, jade and goldware, pearl jade, emeralds, and cat's eyes......

There are also celebrity calligraphy and paintings of all dynasties, there are paintings of Gu Kaizhi and Dong Yuan, and there are words of Zhong Xuan, Mrs. Wei, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi.

And, of course, twenty Gangnam women

Yang Qi also sent it, but compared to Wang Shichong's generosity, it was not as good, there were only three cars of treasures, and there were ten Jiangnan women.

Pei Ju, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji also sent some rare treasures.

"Hahaha, get promoted and make a fortune, good, very good, just accept it! In the future, these people will accept all gifts, and don't want them in vain. ”

Wei Fengwu was already aggrieved, but when he heard Yang Tong say this, he was even more unhappy.

Yang Tong hugged her and said with a smile: "Those beauties may not be spies, and I don't know how to die when I sleep with them, so I won't want them." Shouldn't you be happy now? , my mouth is so pouting that I can hang an oil bottle......"

"My husband laughed at me again. How can I have a mouth with an oil bottle, isn't that a goblin? "Wei Fengwu is coquettish

"Haha, you're my favorite goblin." Yang Tong shaved her small nose dotingly.

"I'm not!" The little girl likes it so much that it is about to explode.

The husband and wife laughed for a while and went to sleep.

The beauty was in his arms, Yang Tong's chin touched the soft hair, his nose smelled the fragrance of orchid musk, he tightened his arms, and felt the amazing flexibility of his wife's soft waist, Yang Tong said softly: "Are the people in the house willing to go with us?" ”

Wei Fengwu turned over, climbed into her husband's arms, and exhaled like a lan: "I told Uncle Yi, the housekeeper, about this, the old people in the house are basically willing to go north with me, and there are few new ones." ”

"That's good, if you don't want to leave, stay behind, those Jiangnan girls, don't bring any of them, I can't believe Wang Shichong and Yang Qi."

"Husband, is there something going on?" Hearing Yang Tong call Yang Qi's name, Wei Fengwu asked softly.

"Hmmm! He became very domineering and became a captive of the powerful. Yang Tong told the experience in the East Palace.

"Huh?" Wei Fengwu was instantly frightened, without Yang Tong's protection, she was really worried that Yang Qi would control them.

Yang Tong kissed her lips and comforted: "You and your mother go north with me!" Settle down in Ji County first, and then go to Zhuo County. ”

Originally, he wanted to take them to Zhuo County after quelling the rebellion in Hebei Province, but Yang Qi's performance made him change his mind, he couldn't let his mother and wife be in Luoyang! Leave the handle to the people who are crazy about power.

"Good!" Wei Fengwu breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Yang Tong said softly: "Sleep in peace!" I won't leave you. ”

"Hmm"
