Chapter 494: Old and New Aristocrats

Yang Su was the only person in the Daye Dynasty who had served as Shang Shuling, but not long after Shang Shuling, Yang Guang forced him to death. Before his death, Yang Su entered the Situ of the Three Dukes, and entered the Duke of Chu, with 2,500 households. After his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Taiwei and Hongnong and other ten county guards, nicknamed Jingwu.

Yang Su's family is known as the first dignitary of the Great Cause Dynasty, although Yang Su has been dead for seven years, but with Yu Yin, the wealth and power of the Yang family are still amazing, if it is not for Yang Xuangan's death, he can still continue to be noble.

And now, Yang Xuan is still the emperor because of the rebellion, although the emperor has been gone for less than two months, but the consequences are very serious. The bodies of the Yang Xuangan brothers and others were executed, and the heads were also crushed and scattered after they were brought back.

The emperor even ordered that Yang Xuangan's family be deprived of the surname Yang and changed their surname to Xiao.

The death of a person cannot be eliminated, the Yang family raided the family and exterminated the clan, all the men were directly executed, the women were enslaved, and all the property of the Yang family was confiscated.

At that time, the Yang family had three phases, and the whole family had seven pillars, four scholars, and nine guards, how glorious it was at that time.

Looking at the tall mansion door, Luo Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's go in and see!" Si Ye laughed.

"Your Majesty's will has not yet been announced, so it is not appropriate to enter this house at the moment." Luo Chengdao.

"What's inappropriate, it's all yours sooner or later anyway."

The fourth child also said in the back, "That's it, go in and take a look, I haven't seen such a gorgeous mansion yet." ”

Du Fuwei, Zhao Gui and other old brothers also wanted to go in and open their eyes.

"Then say to the soldier guarding the door, and go in and see."

At this moment, a team of people arrived.

Dozens of families rode horses to escort a gorgeous carriage, and when they passed by Luo Cheng and them, those horseback riders just glanced at them and passed, without saying hello.

The carriage stopped in front of the Duke of Chu's mansion, the curtain opened, and a young man led a richly dressed lady out of the carriage.

The fourth child looked at the noble lady who was in her twenties, dressed with temperament, gorgeous clothes, and walked with a fragrant wind.

I couldn't help but whistle.

It only attracted a roll of the lady's eyes.

Several domestic servants immediately glared angrily, perhaps seeing that there were a lot of people on Luo Cheng's side, and all of them were fierce, these family members snorted after warning angrily.

"Don't mess around." Hei Ye warned the fourth.

The noble lady went directly into the mansion of the Duke of Chu, and several servants stood guard directly at the door.

"The third child, who was that girl just now, she was very arrogant!" The fourth asked.

"The one next to her seems to be Li Min, the general of Zuotunwei."

"Which birdman is Li Min again?"

"People from the Li family of the Eight Pillars Country."

"Could it be that it belongs to Li Yuan's family?"

"It's not from the Tang State Mansion, it's from the Taishi Li Mu family."

Taishi Li Mu, that is one of the Eight Pillar States, the elder of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou and Sui dynasties, when Yang Guang wanted to replace the Zhou, he was the Taifu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and served as the governor of Taiyuan, guarding Hedong, and the Zhu State Yu Jin, who was guarding Jizhou at that time, had a supportive attitude, so that Yang Jian was able to succeed.

After Yang Jian received Zen, he worshiped him as the Taishi, praised and worshipped the nameless, and sealed 3,000 households, Li Mu's descendants, even the newborn, were all sealed with the same ceremony, and there were more than 100 children of the family who were crowned officials, which was unmatched at that time.

And this Li Min is the son of Li Chong, the son of Li Mu's brother Li Xian, in terms of seniority, Li Min is Li Mu's grandchild.

But Li Xian is a bull, he was already a big man in the Northern Wei Dynasty, when he was fourteen years old, his father died, and then he raised his younger brothers, Li Mu and Li Yuan. Li Mu was later one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and Li Yuan was also one of the twelve generals.

Li Xian also has a relatively good place, that is, after Yuwentai's death, he also helped raise the later Northern Zhou Emperor Wu Yuwenyong.

Li Xian has five sons, Li Min's father Li Chong is his third son, Li Chong is courageous, heroic, successively with Yuwen Hu, Emperor Wu of Zhou attacked the Northern Qi Dynasty, with the merit of Guangzong County Duke, and then from Pingwei Chi Ji, awarded the governor of Xuzhou, ascended to the Zhu State.

In the third year of the emperor's reign, when he was the governor of Youzhou, the Turks committed a border and died in battle.

At that time, Li Chong's death was more tragic, so Emperor Wen adopted his son Li Min in the palace and grew up with Yang Yichen. When he was older, he attacked the prince of Guangzong and appointed the prince Qianniu.

Li Min has been very handsome since he was a child, and he has good family genes, he has good riding and archery skills, and he can also sing and dance and play musical instruments well.

At that time, in the early years of the emperor, Yang Guang seized the world of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he named his daughter Yang Lihua, the empress dowager of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, as Princess Leping. The princess has a daughter, Yuwen Eying, and when she reaches the age of marriage, the emperor summons many sons and daughters to the palace, and there are hundreds of them, for the princess to choose.

In the end, the princess chose Li Min.

The emperor then married the princess daughter to Li Min with the etiquette of marrying the princess, and after the wedding, the princess said to the son-in-law, "I gave the Northern Zhou world to the supreme, and now there is only one daughter, and now the daughter is married to you, I should seek a position for you to be a pillar country, if the emperor grants you another official, you don't accept it." ”

When Li Min toasted the emperor, Emperor Wen personally played the pipa and asked Li Min to dance with him, and the emperor was very happy and asked the princess, what is your son-in-law's official position now?

The princess immediately said that she was still a white ding.

So the emperor said, "Then give a ceremony." Yitong is the commander of the early Sui Dynasty, also known as the third division of Yitong, but Li Min remembers the words of his mother-in-law, as long as Zhuguo, he thinks this commander is low and does not thank him.

The emperor said, "If you are not satisfied, then I will grant you the opening of the palace."

The full name of Kaifu is Kaifu Yi and the Third Division, which is two levels higher than the Yi and the Third Division, and there is a Shangkaifu Yi with the Third Division, but Li Min still doesn't thank you.

Seeing this, the emperor had no choice but to say, the princess has made a great contribution to me, and I have no reason to cherish the official position with her son-in-law, so I will grant you the pillar country.

So Li Min bowed and thanked him, so he issued an edict to award him the honor of Zhuguo, which is second only to Shangzhuguo among the eleventh rank of honors, and it is six levels higher than the original Yitong Sansi.

Wait until Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, in order to avoid secrecy, so he changed the county of Guangzong to the county of Jingcheng, a few years ago, in the Guannai many states as the assassin of the history, but basically not in office, perennial stay in Beijing, back and forth in the palace, attendants banquet, very favored.

Later, he was transferred to Wei Weiqing, but he still ignored official duties.

Before the princess died, she told Yang Guang that I was my daughter, and I hoped that the emperor would take care of her for me after I died, and asked to give my Tangmu food to Li Min to inherit.

Such an unreasonable request, the emperor actually agreed, and even transferred the princess Tang Mu Shiyi of 5,000 households to Li Min, and also awarded him the general of Tunwei.

Twice accompanied the expedition to Goguryeo, but there was no credit at all, and this time he was actually promoted to the doctor of Gwangrok.

Today, Li Min and his wife suddenly came here because they took a fancy to Yang Su's Luoyang mansion and wanted to ask the emperor to reward them.

They just thought they were passing by and came in to see, so they wanted to go in too.

As a result, the guards left by Li Min at the door snorted coldly, "This is already the property of the Marquis Mansion of Jingcheng, and idlers are not allowed to trespass!" ”

The fourth child was not happy when he heard it, this was obviously given to the fifth by the emperor, how did it become some kind of bullshit industry through the city marquis?

"Presumptuous, do you know who we are? Lao Tzu is the Marquis of Beihai personally given by His Majesty! ”

"I haven't heard of it, what cats and dogs dare to go wild in Luodu, and they don't pee like their birds!" The guards are often in the capital, and the famous nobles in the capital basically know each other, and he really hasn't heard of any Beihai Hou, and he thinks it's just a military household Qiu Ba who is spreading wild here.
