Yang Guang walked to the front of the crowd and found that not only did the crown prince Yang Yong arrive earlier than him, but also Yang Jun, the king of Qin, Yang Xiu, the king of Yue, and Yang Liang, the king of Han, had all rushed to Daosheng to mourn Feng Xiaolian, who had just committed suicide.

Li Xun's mother, Mrs. Li, obviously didn't expect that she had forced her daughter-in-law to death, and she would actually attract the five princes and princes led by the crown prince to come to mourn in person, trembling her hands, while ordering people to immediately go to the patriarch of the Li family, when the imperial master Li Muyu reported the news, she couldn't stop explaining to Yang Yong and the four princes why they wanted to put Feng's spiritual shed outside the palace gate.

In fact, without her explanation, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this old lady Li hated Feng Xiaolian to the core, not only forced her to death with her own hands, but also swept her out of the house after her death.

Yang Yong saw that as soon as Yang Guang arrived, the brothers were all there, so he instructed the Li clan to bring the old lady aside to stand still, and the Li family, who had already presided over the funeral, sang loudly: "Raise your sorrow." ”

The surroundings of the shed, which had just seemed to be chaotic, immediately became quiet. Led by Yang Yong, everyone stood solemnly and expressed their condolences to the deceased.

Due to the noble status of the five Yang Yong brothers, and although the deceased Feng Xiaolian was the concubine of the Northern Qi Dynasty, after all, he had married into the family of courtiers after entering the Sui Dynasty, therefore, seeing that Yang Yong did not have the intention of bowing to the deceased, the master of ceremonies did not dare to force it, and let everyone stand up for a cup of tea in front of the spirit under the leadership of the five princes, so he shouted: "After the ceremony, the family is grateful." ”

The people of the Li clan who were guarding on both sides of the mourning shed heard this shout, and the old lady of the Li family, led by the old lady of the Li family, fell to their knees in a large area, and the sound of wailing and crying suddenly resounded throughout the entire Li Fang.

Yang Guang personally participated in two funerals in less than two months, and although these two funerals were different in scale due to the different identities of the deceased, they could be called bizarre after a little thought: the previous funeral of the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yan, directed by his father Yang Jian, still looks like a well-arranged farce to blame Nan Chen, and this one is like a tragicomedy used by the queen mother Dugu Jia Luo to appease the old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The reason why it is called tragicomedy is because as the family of the deceased, hundreds of men and women up and down the Li family, according to Yang Guang's observation, not only did they not have the slightest sympathy and sadness for Feng Xiaolian's death, but there was a sense of relief and joy after clearing the disaster of the family; On the contrary, there were dozens of former Northern Qi ministers standing behind their brothers, and everyone had a look of dismay on their faces.

Yang Yong seemed to have a deep understanding of the true intention of his mother Dugu Jialuo ordering him to come to mourn Feng Xiaolian, and he was not in a hurry to leave after the funeral, but politely refused the request of the old lady Li to invite him into the house to see tea, and took Yang Guang and other brothers to turn around and walk towards the crowd of former ministers of Northern Qi.

At this time, Yang Guang opened his eyes and looked into the crowd, but he didn't see a prominent court minister in the crowd who was similar to Gao Ying, Yang Su, Su Wei and so on, and thought to himself: In this way, there are almost no old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty who hold important positions in the court.

Yang Yong walked straight to a thin middle-aged official standing side by side with Pei Ju, stopped, nodded to him, and said, "Xue Shilang is also here." The palace is thinking about a few court affairs to ask Xue Shilang for a lesson or two, how about inviting Xue Shilang to the East Palace tomorrow? ”

Because of the internal history, Li Delin did not come to mourn in person for some reason, and among the old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty who rushed to mourn after hearing the news, it was obvious that this official residence was the official Shi Lang and Xue Daoheng, a famous Shandong scholar who opened the Fuyi and the three divisions, was the first. (Note: The official system of the Sui Dynasty, the squire Lang in the three provinces and six departments is equivalent to the Langzhong of the Tang Dynasty, as the chief of the first division, because Xue Daoheng has the honor of the opening ceremony and the three divisions, so the rank should be in the three products) Seeing that the prince took the initiative to invite himself to the East Palace tomorrow to discuss court affairs, Xue Daoheng hurriedly bowed down and replied: "His Royal Highness the prince and several princes came to Daoshengli in person to express their condolences to the late lady concubine, and we are all grateful." Accepting the invitation of the prince, the minister dares to disobey the order? ”

Yang Yong smiled and turned to Pei Ju, who was standing next to Xue Daoheng, turned around and pointed at Yang Guang and the other four brothers, and asked: "Brother She's young, he is studying in Taixue every day, thanks to Pei Sheren's teachings, no matter which of them is, if you dare to disobey the master's discipline, even if you come to the East Palace to say and listen to the palace, the palace will not be spared." ”

Pei Ju imitated Xue Daoheng, bowed to Yang Yong, and said humbly: "Back to Your Highness, recently, except for the Jin prince who was sent to the palace to follow General Sun Sheng to learn art, he only went to Taixue every five and ten to receive scriptures and poems outside the school, and the other princes were the first few to go to Taixue every day, and they worked hard, Your Highness can rest assured." ”

Yang Yong took the trouble to make noise with each of the former Northern Qi ministers standing in the front row, but he still had no intention of leaving. Seeing the funeral of a court wife, under the starring role of the eldest brother Yang Yong, it became a good show for the court to appease the old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yang Guang, as an indispensable main supporting role in this scene, followed behind Yang Yong, and also imitated the appearance of the eldest brother.

"Lord, the prince is waiting for the old lady." Li Hun, one of Yang Guang's two sworn friends in Taixue, squeezed to his side at some point and whispered to him.

Before Li Hun's words fell, there was a burst of people shouting horses and neighing outside the gate of Daoshengli, and then someone came to report to Yang Yong: "The Taishi has arrived." ”

There is no need for others to tell him, Yang Guang also knows that as the imperial master, he must be the head of the civil and military ministers, and a person with high merits. With the little historical knowledge that he didn't have rich before he crossed over, he knew that in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng of the Wanli Dynasty was the only one who was named the Taishi in the Ming Dynasty. According to this inference, Li Mu, the living master of the Sui Dynasty, must also be a great figure.

"Oh, Your Highness, the family is unfortunate, how dare Prince Lao and several princes come to Daosheng to condole, the old man is a step late, and I hope His Royal Highness and several princes will forgive me." Surrounded by everyone, a tall, white-faced and long-bearded old man strode towards Yang Yong and the others.

Li Mu, the imperial master of the dynasty, was the governor of Emperor Xuan and Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, because in the early days of Yang Jian's reign, the commander-in-chief of Hedong, Chi Hui and Sima Zhen, who had heavy troops, raised troops to rebel one after another, and the situation was quite critical for a while. At this critical moment, Li Mu, the governor of Bingzhou, who was located between Hedong and Guanzhong, resolutely chose to support Yang Jian, and sent troops to help Yang Jian suppress the rebellion and stabilize Yang's position in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Before Yang Jian accepted the Zen concession of Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he personally wrote a book and ordered someone to take it to Bingzhou, half of it was a temptation, and half of it was to ask Li Mu for his opinion on his ascension to the emperor, and Li Mu did not hesitate to express his firm support for Yang Jian to replace Zhou and create the Great Sui.

After Yang Jian ascended to the pole, he also reciprocated Li with a peach and gave Li Mu and his family a reward beyond the search for their palms, not only crowning Li Mu himself as the head of the three princes, but also all the Ding men available to the Li family were awarded official positions above the fifth grade. All of a sudden, the Li family had as many as one or two hundred eunuchs, known as the first wealthy family in the dynasty.
