Chapter 326: The Absurd Prince (1)

When Wang Shichong heard this, he suddenly thought of something, and a green light flashed in his eyes: "Recruit the soldiers and horses of Shu County on the spot?" So why is this crusade not like before, with the prince also serving as the head of the march? Nanning Prefecture is so close to Bashu, it is said that it should be personally commanded by Yang Xiu, the king of Shu. ”

Li Jing stood up, glanced at the door vigilantly, picked up a stool and sat opposite the copywriter, looked mysterious, and said in a low voice: "Xingman, do you really not know what the King of Shu has done in Shu over the years?" Now putting aside the crown prince, the most disappointing thing for the emperor is the King of Shu and the King of Qin, maybe the King of Shu will be a little more excessive. ”

Wang Shichong doesn't know much about Yang Xiu, who is far away in Shu, but he knows a lot about Yang Jun, the king of Qin:

Originally, Yang Jian arranged him in the position of the governor of Yangzhou, and let Yang Guang return to the governor of Bingzhou, obviously he valued his third son more, hoping that he could suppress Jiangnan, but His Royal Highness the King of Qin was attracted by the extravagance of the Southern Dynasty, and was completely corrupted and degenerate.

As a prince, Yang Jun is very dexterous, and often personally transports catties and axes to make exquisite and ingenious utensils, all of which are decorated with pearls and jade. He made the Seven Treasures for his concubines, which were too heavy to wear, and had to be carried on horseback. The requisition of the people is endless. Set the armillary sphere, the viewfinder. Build the water hall again, decorate the wall with incense powder, build the gold steps of jade, between the beams and pillars and the frieze, wrap the mirror, decorate the middle with jewelry, and make the most of the beauty of crystal decoration.

Yang Jun also often sings and dances with guest prostitutes on the water hall, and his lascivious and shameless appearance is the party meeting of Bliss Villa that Wang Shichong is now opening. Completely ignore political affairs. The results are upward and downward. Yu Zhongwen and Yu Wenkai, who guarded Jiankang, also took the opportunity to resell military rations, which finally caused a great chaos in the south of the Yangtze River.

But after His Royal Highness the King of Qin returned to Beijing, he did not stop, and continued to indulge in indulgence, he thought that Wang Shichong's Bliss Villa had dropped the price, and directly spent money to buy several Oiran head cards from Bliss Villa. Returning to the palace of the Qin Dynasty to have fun, this act finally aroused the jealousy and anger of his wife, after the Boling Cui family, the sister of the important minister Cui Hongdu, the princess of Qin.

Cui Hongdu is the descendant of the northern clan Boling Cui, in the north has always had five surnames and seven families, Xingyang Zheng, Boling Cui, Longxi Li, Zhaojun Li, Fanyang Lu, Qinghe Cui, Taiyuan Wang and called five surnames and seven families. They are all the top Gaomen clans of the Han nationality, and their ancestors can be traced back to the pre-Qin and Han dynasties.

Among them, the ancestors of the Qinghe Cui clan and the Boling Cui clan are brothers, and the Cui Yan who pretended to be Cao Cao to meet the Xiongnu envoys is the ancestor of the Qinghe Cui clan.

These large families intermarried with each other and became friends for generations. The respective forces are intertwined, even after hundreds of years. It still has a huge influence in the northern region.

Even today's royal families also need such a marriage, so Yang Jian arranged for his third son, Yang Jun, the king of Qin, to marry Cui Hongdu's sister early.

As for this Cui Hongdu, his grandfather did the Sikong of the Northern Wei Dynasty, his father did the state assassin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he guarded Yuanzhou (now Guyuan, Ningxia) for many years, serving as the head of the marching army, specializing in defending the Turks in the north.

When Yang Jian was still the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and did not change the dynasty, the important minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the general of the Zhu State, Wei Chi Hui, raised troops to resist Yang Jian, and one of Cui Hongdu's sisters married Wei Chi Hui's son, which was a family relationship, but still stood on Yang Jian's side to quell the rebellion, and forced Wei Chi Hui to commit suicide with his own hands.

After that, Cui Hongdu guarded Yuanzhou for many years, and had military exploits in the Turkic invasion in the third year of the emperor's reign, and Yang Jian also married his other sister to Yang Jun, the king of Qin, as the princess, called the Great Cui Clan.

Cui Hongdu was transferred to Yang Su's command during the campaign to destroy Chen in the ninth year of the emperor's reign, and the two had the same official position, but Cui Hongdu's seniority was older than Yang Su, and most of the orders given by Yang Su fell on deaf ears, but Yang Su was very tolerant and respectful of him.

Just a few months ago, Cui Hongdu's younger brother, who is now Wang Shichong's direct leader, the daughter of Cui Hongsheng, the squire of the military department, was married to the eldest son of King Jin, Yang Zhao, the king of Henan, and became a princess, called Xiao Cui. Cui Hongdu said that his Cui family has two concubines, and his respect for wealth and nobility is incomparable.

It's a pity that the blessing is unparalleled, the disaster is not a single line, the concubine of King Yang Jun of Qin, Da Cui's family, is extremely jealous, and King Yang Jun of Qin is the same as his two elder brothers, he is a big Luo Bu in his bones, when he was the head of Yangzhou, Da Cui stayed in Daxing's Qin Wangfu, out of sight, now Yang Jun has returned to Daxing, and even openly bought back the beauty to go back to the house for spring supper every night, after the big Cui family is over thirty years old, the color is declining and relaxing, seeing that his husband will ruthlessly abandon himself and find a new love, he was poisoned in Yang Jun's melons and fruits in a fit of anger, As a result, Yang Junyi couldn't afford to get sick.

Yang Jian and Queen Dugu had been angry with Yang Jun because of his arrogance and indulgence, and they didn't want to see him, but seeing him sick like this made him recuperate in Renshou Palace. It's just that Yang Jun has been poisoned deeply, and his life is not long, last month, the poisoning of the big Cui family was exposed, and the emperor Long Yan was furious, and immediately ordered the death of the big Cui family, Yang Guang, an excellent actor, will not let go of this good opportunity, and immediately let Yang Zhao take the initiative to go to the table, asking the little Cui family to be sent back to the Cui family to show his resolute support for the emperor's grandfather.

Cui Hongdu has always relied on the old and sold the old, and did not obey orders. Relying on his dual identity as a nobleman with military merits in Guanlong and a Han man with five surnames and seven hopes, even Yang Su is not in his eyes, and the women of the Cui family are also this kind of personality that no one in their eyes, the big Cui family is already a middle-aged woman, and she is still so jealous, she poisoned her husband after her husband found a new love, because it is related to the King of Qin, the gods can't save her, and now the Cui family finally realizes the seriousness of the situation.

Wang Shichong thought of the tragedy of the King of Qin, sighed, and said: "If you do your own evil, you can't live." King Qin is too disappointing, it's just that this King of Shu has been out of Bashu for many years, and he is assisted by important ministers like Yuan Yan, so he will never be more excessive than King Qin. ”

Li Jing shook his head: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is excessive, but it is no worse than His Royal Highness the King of Qin. A prince legend that stunned Wang Shichong slowly unfolded:

When Yang Jian ascended the throne, he felt that the clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not leave the town, which led to the strength of the imperial family being too weak, and the lesson of the last extinction, so he divided his sons into various places. Yang Xiu was sealed in Shudi, when he was only an eight-year-old child, and Yang Jian specially sent Yuan Yan, who was known for his loyalty and uprightness, to assist him.

This Yuan Yan is the minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he liked to read when he was young, paid attention to cultivating his own name, and was a good friend with Gao Xi of Bohai and Wang Shao of Taiyuan. Later, when he became an official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he made several direct admonitions to the emperor and dissuaded the emperor from killing ministers out of anger.

This led to Yuan Yan being dismissed many times, and once he was ordered by Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to slap his mouth above the court, and then seize the official and go to prison. Even so, Geng's straightforward character still does not change.

After arriving in the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian promoted him to the secretary of the military department, and promoted him to the prince of Pingchang County. Yuan Yan is majestic and steady, well-versed in world affairs, every time he plays the table and discusses the government, he can talk eloquently, with a solemn face, admonishing in the court, refuting in person, and without any concerns. Not only the ministers of the court, but even Yang Jian himself respected him very much, and even was a little afraid.

Later, Yang Jian divided the princes into four directions, because the princes were very young at that time, so they specially selected some important ministers to assist, and Yuan Yan was sent to assist Yang Xiu, the king of Shu.

Before leaving, Yang Jian specially took Yuan Yan's hand and sighed: "With your talent, you should have been the prime minister, and you were wronged to assist my son, just like Cao Shen, the prime minister of the early Han Dynasty, went to assist Liu Fei, the king of Qi, I really didn't want to go." ”

When Yang Xiu was in Shudi, he was very stubborn when he was a child, and once captured many barbarians of ethnic minorities to enter the palace as eunuchs, and tried to disembowel and dig out the hearts of death row prisoners, and use gall as medicine. After Yuan Yan arrived, he severely stopped this kind of behavior many times, and Yang Xiu was also afraid of Yuan Yan's non-angry and arrogant face, so he didn't dare to do such a thing again.
