Chapter 578: Dividing the Feudal State

Although Luo Cheng is young, some things are still clear.

How could he interfere in such a matter as the crown prince? No matter whether the emperor sincerely asked or tempted, he could not answer it.

The emperor is a prince, the prime minister can talk about this kind of thing, and the patriarch can talk about it, but he, a general who has just been appointed as the envoy of the loyal army, can't talk about it.

"Hey, since you don't want to say it, forget it."

Yang Guang sighed.

He really didn't test Luo Cheng just now, but seeing that Luo Cheng was covered with scars, he sighed that he was loyal to the king, so he wanted to ask his opinion on this private occasion. But after seeing Rucheng so steady, he regretted that he was too casual.

Such an important matter really shouldn't be asked to Luo Cheng.

But on the other hand, he also felt that Luo Cheng was indeed very good, and he didn't rely on favor and merit, so he pointed fingers at this kind of major matter and expressed his attitude casually. Luo Cheng is very old, this is a good thing.

"Prince Yuande was also known as the Heavenly Grower when he was the first emperor, and I always thought that I would pass on the great cause to him in the future. Unexpectedly, God was jealous of the talent, but let him go before me. After he left, I planned to cultivate the King of Qi and pull out tens of thousands of people from Yuan Zhao's old department to him, but what did he do? ”

Yang Guang sighed again and again.

When Yang Zhao died, although he left a few children, they were all too young, so the position of the crown prince should naturally be passed on to the second son Yang Yin, but this King of Qi was too unproductive.

After the death of the prince in the second year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang sealed the history of the King of Qi Yuzhou, and after three years of the Great Cause, he was transferred to the Yongzhou Assassin History, Henan Yin, and Kaifu Yitong Three Divisions.

He also handed over all the prince's subordinates to him, but he was very arrogant, close to villains, and often sent his subordinates to seek lustful dogs and horses. Princess Leping once wanted to dedicate a beauty to the emperor, Liu, but Yang Jian rushed into the house.

Yang Jun's concubine died early, but Yang Yong had an affair with the widowed sister of the deceased concubine and gave birth to a son. What annoyed Yang Guang the most was that Yang Jun actually invited Xiangshi to the mansion to look at her and the child, and Xiangshi said that she would be the queen, and that the child would become the prince in the future.

Yang Yong thought more and more that he was destined to return, so he became more and more reckless.

Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande, left behind three sons, who he regarded as an obstacle and secretly exercised the technique of disgust and wanted to get rid of them.

After the matter was revealed, Yang Guang was angry and gave the Yuan wife to death, and since then, his favor to Yang Jin has been decreasing day by day, and he will never mention the matter of making Yang Jin the prince.

Over the years, he has always taken Yang Jun with him, wherever he goes.

But this is not a favor, but a surveillance insecurity.

Yang Zhao's three grandsons, the eldest grandson Yang Qi, was named the King of Yan by Yang Guang, and he has been with him all these years, but he is carefully taught and very pampered.

The other two grandsons were divided into the king of Yue and the acting king, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, stayed in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Yang Yu, the acting king, stayed in Daxing, Xijing.

In fact, the emperor has always had the intention of making King Yan the emperor's grandson, but he is still a little hesitant. But after all, King Yan is only twelve years old, on the other hand, although King Yan is the eldest son of Yang Zhao, he is not a descendant.

When Yang Zhao was the king of Henan, the princess was the daughter of Cui Hongsheng, Cui Hongdu's younger brother, and was later deposed because of Cui's rebellion. Then marry the daughter of Wei Shou, the son of the famous marshal Wei Xiaokuan, as a concubine, and give birth to Wang Yu.

And King Yan was born to Yang Zhao's concubine Liu Liangdi, and another concubine, Liu Liangdi, was born to Yue Wang Dong.

If Yang Qi was the concubine born to Concubine Wei, Yang Guang would not have such hesitation.

The most virtuous and smartest of Yang Qi's three grandsons, he is the eldest child, and his grandson, Wang Yu, is not so smart.

If you don't set up the second son of Qi Wang Yang Xuan, and instead set up the eldest grandson Yan Wang, this matter is not very compatible with the patriarchal law.

After all, either the prince dies, then the second son, or the eldest grandson, there is no reason to set up a second son and the eldest grandson.

According to the patriarchal system, after the death of Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande, the first heir in line should be the grandson of the king Yang Yu, and then the eldest grandson Yang Yu, as for Yang Xuan, although his brother died, the order of patriarchal succession was automatically in the hands of his son, unless he had no son.

No matter what the emperor said, Luo Cheng closed his mouth and didn't say a word anyway.

Although in his opinion, if he wants the position of the crown prince to be undisputed, he can naturally only establish the king Yang Yu, who is his grandson. King Yan is just the eldest grandson, and he is completely unqualified to appoint him. Even if Yang Yoo, the acting king, is a fool, it may not be his turn.

But it wasn't his turn to say that.

But this problem has plagued Yang Guang for eight years.

The position of Imperial Prince, vacant for eight years.

Yang Zhao's three youngest sons are now twelve years old, and the youngest is ten years old.

"King Qi is not stupid, he is a smart person, but it's a pity that he didn't teach well before, and he was taken by the traitors around him. In the past few years, I have been taking him with me, whether it is the Western Tour, the Northern Tour, or the Eastern Expedition, and I have seen some growth and repented a lot. ”

Yang Guang looked at Luo Cheng.

"Although you are young, you know how to advance and retreat, and you know your duty, which is very good. If the king of Qi had half of you, I would not let him fall to where he is now. ”

"I'm old, I will definitely have to make a prince within a year or two, either the acting king or the king of Yan, but it will never be the king of Qi. In the future, whether Yang Yu or Yang Yan will be the crown prince, I have nothing to worry about, and the only one who is most worried is King Qi after a hundred years. ”

"I suddenly came up with an idea just now, I want Ah Hao to go to Liaodong with you."

Ah Zi is the nickname of King Qi.

"King Qi going to Liaodong?" Luo Cheng didn't understand what this operation was?

Since you don't worry about King Qi, you can't let him out.

"I know that although there are still five counties in Liaodong that have not been recovered, but with you, I will be able to eradicate the Yuan clan in three or five years, and I plan to seal Ah Zi to North Korea, and I will not let him return to the Central Plains in this life, so I will stay in Liaodong forever, which can be regarded as a way to protect him."

Luo Cheng was stunned when he heard this.

Yang Guang is really scheming. You must know that at the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the feudal system of the prince had been abolished, although the prince was also appointed as the governor, but the governor was only an official position and not a knight, and there was no fief.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he killed and imprisoned the only two remaining brothers. Yang Liang, the king of Han, was killed for rebellion, and Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, was placed under house arrest by him to this day.

Even his own sons and grandsons only have titles, not fiefs.

Now Yang Guang actually wants to give Yang Yun a fief in North Korea?

Does this mean that Yang Guang wants to change the sub-sealing system he set before?

"I am going to confer the title of Yang Jun, the king of Qi, as the magistrate of Lelang County, and give him a hundred miles of fiefdom and a population of 1,000 households as a miner."

In the end, the emperor didn't say that he would give Yang Yun a fief to establish a state, but only said that he would be a long history, and give him a piece of mining and a population of 1,000 households, but it should indeed be good compared to living under house arrest by Yang Guang's side all the year round.

"I hope you can take care of me, and take care of King Qi, so that he doesn't make mistakes again."
