Chapter Seventy-Four: Refining

The third character is his younger brother Yang Guang, the king of Jin. We know that Yang Guang is smart, hardworking, and super capable, but he also has a characteristic that some people can't compete with at all: he is good at pretending to be a grandson. To put it nicely, it is good at packaging, and it is packaged for everyone to see.

Hide your shortcomings and show your strengths in a high-profile manner. First of all, pretending that he was not close to women, his father and mother came to the Jin Wangfu to see the King of Jin, and found that there were some old and ugly old maids around, and there was not even a decent maid. This can move Queen Dugu badly, isn't this the model new good man I want to promote? This is not enough, this young master has also built himself into a "low-carbon brother".

Pretending to be special and simple, I don't like carved things, I eat the most simple, and I can save it, which is not consistent with my identity as an imperial prince at all. The old couple went to the Jin Palace, and saw that the strings of the guqin had long been broken, and the shelves were full of dust.

What is this, this is the realm of ancient sages and saints. The old couple sighed again. In addition, disguise yourself as a corporal and love the people like a son.

said that once Yang Guang went hunting, it happened to rain heavily, and the guards immediately gave Yang Guang an oil umbrella, but the king of Jin immediately stopped it.

Is it appropriate to say that the soldiers are all drenched in the rain and I am alone with an umbrella? Immediately ordered the guards to remove the umbrella on top of their heads, and the soldiers were so moved. This is called being good at showmanship, and the skill of political struggle, Yang Yong will not be able to learn it even if he dies. Then treat the people around the emperor and empress, not to mention.

That's the best of respect, even if it's a little eunuch who delivers a message, it's also respectful, not to mention the good food and drink, and a big gift when leaving. As the saying goes, the human heart is made of flesh.

Hades is easy to see, the little ghosts are difficult, these little ghosts are all people around the emperor and queen, they want to kick you in the back, enough for you to drink a pot.

Yang Guang used his sugar-coated cannonball and directly handed over the weapons of the people around the emperor and empress. This is not enough, Yang Guang has a more unique hand.

In order to crack down on the bureaucratic forces in the court that supported Yang Yong, taking advantage of the contradiction that peers are enemies, he used the political trick of pulling and beating, and pulled the last prime minister to fight the chief prime minister Gao Xi, and the person who was pulled was the later famous Yang Su, the prince of Yueguo. Yang Su and Yang Guang were originally comrades-in-arms in the same trench, and with the perfect cooperation with Yang Guang, they destroyed the Chen Dynasty together.

But that was on a battlefield full of gunpowder, and the common goal was to destroy Chen, and the national interest was paramount. However, this alliance is a combination of politics and personal interests, and the blood of swords and swords can still be seen on the battlefield without gunsmoke.

The difference is that they are not dealing with Chen Shubao in the south, but Yang Guang's own brother Yang Yong, the crown prince of the dynasty. Yang Guangxian befriended Yang Su's younger brother, Yang Yue, vice president of the Supreme Procuratorate (Dali Shaoqing), through guò and intimidation, and directly dragged him into the water through bribery and intimidation. Then Tong Guò Yang Yue built a bridge, and Shun Lì formed a political alliance with Yang Su, each taking what he needed.

Yang Su wants the position of Gao Jiong's chief prime minister. And Yang Guang wants the position of the prince of the elder brother Yang Yong. By this time, it seemed that all the forces that could have influence in the direction of politics were on Yang Guang's side.

In the court, Gao Xi is a native of Kwantung, and he has a conflict of interest with the Guanlong aristocratic group, and the interest class he represents is inherently different. According to the theory of Mr. Marx, the economic base determines the superstructure. Of course, the route and the team are on

With the opposition, the Great Sui was established with the support and hard work of the Guanlong nobles, and Emperor Wen Yang Jian was also a representative of the Guanlong nobles.

And Gao Xi has already aroused the suspicion and suspicion of Emperor Wen. And Yang Su, as the spokesperson of the rising star and the upstart of Guanlong, has been supported by the members of the Guanlong aristocratic group, which already accounted for the majority of the people in the imperial court. Gao Xi's fate is predestined by history. His exit actually has a deep political background.

There is also Queen Dugu, who doesn't seem to have much power, Yang Yong's mother. For this heavyweight, Yang Guang went into battle in person, and he could perform hard in front of Queen Dugu. He knows better than anyone else: Although Queen Dugu has no gang or faction, she has great energy in the matter of abolishing the crown prince.

During his ten years as the governor of Yangzhou, he not only did his best to be a courtier, but even if he was a slave by the queen's side, he was extremely respectful. Every time I take advantage of the stall to return to Chang'an to report on my work, I make a special trip to visit my mother, and not to mention the big gifts, the important thing is to play the emotional card.

When saying goodbye to his mother, he pretended to be very reluctant and pitiful, and he couldn't stop crying on the ground (it's a pity that Yang Guang is not an actor, if you want to put it on hold now, the award party will definitely win the best actor)

& cried to his mother about the prince's distress against him, and said: "The son attaches great importance to brotherhood, and I don't know where to offend the prince, and the eldest brother has always wanted to kill me."

The thought of myself being poisoned to death one day is terrifying. "After this set of combination punches, Queen Dugu's hatred and resentment towards the crown prince Yang Yong are really like a surging river. It is recorded in the history books that Queen Dugu was furious when she heard this, and said: "Yang Yong is too much, and he doesn't miss the concubine I married to him at all."

favored Concubine Yun, and poisoned Concubine Yuan (in fact, she died of a heart attack). I am alive now that he treats you like this, and one day I will die and I don't know how to harm your brother.

After your father died, I thought that your brother had to bow down to that little goblin of Concubine Yun, and I was really heartbroken for my mother! Yang Guang said goodbye when he heard this, and he couldn't stop whimpering. Dugu also hugged her son, it was a lot of crying. Since then, the old lady has followed Ding Yang Er, and resolutely worked for the second son for free, with one purpose: to take down the eldest son.

This day and night, he kept blowing the pillow wind in front of Yang Jian. In the heart of Emperor Yang Jian, this eldest son who has no image of a human monarch is really unsuccessful, like a dou who can't be supported, how can the great cause of the ancestors of Jiangshan Sheji be handed over to the hands of disloyal, unjust, talented and virtuous people?

It looks like it's just a kick in the door. But the abolished prince is no joke. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "In China, moving a table is bloody." "What's more, someone else will be the emperor.

That's going to make a big fuss. In order to avoid this situation and lead to political and social unrest, Zhou Gongdan, a cow man of the Western Zhou Dynasty, invented a laughable method to influence the election of emperors in China for thousands of years when he was compiling the "Zhou Li". That is the "primogeniture".

Good fellow, what was supposed to be a stupid solution has become the only tried-and-true panacea for stried-and-true strife.

Some people say that polygamy was practiced in ancient China, but that is nonsense. Ancient China was the most important about order, ethics and hierarchy.

The man is to be divided into three, six, nine, and so on. Polygamy, so which wife has the final say? How to divide the inheritance and wealth? How is the name determined? Isn't that messing around?

Strictly speaking, ancient China practiced the "monogamous and polygamous concubine system". In the primogeniture inheritance system, the eldest son is the main wife and the first wife, and the eldest son born to the main wife is the eldest son. The law stipulates that the eldest son has the right of inheritance priority. The specific provisions are "to establish a descendant to be long rather than virtuous, and to establish a son to be noble rather than long".

To use a popular analogy, it is like a unit or organization that selects advanced individuals, but they do not give in to each other, and whoever chooses them is not convinced by each other, and even wants to break their heads. What to do?

The best thing to do is to draw lots. Even if the one chosen by lot is a villain, then no one has anything to say, and everyone is convinced, because this is the will of God. What do we mortals have to keep up with the heavens? In this way, the world is purified.

Since Yang Jian, as the son of heaven, is acting on behalf of heaven to govern all the people, he naturally obeys the will of heaven. Since Yang Yong is the eldest son of the Son of Heaven, it is naturally the will of God. And all the people are watching there.

In that era of theocratic supremacy with underdeveloped technology and culture, it was not a joke. Therefore, it is true that the crown prince is the prince and the foundation of the country.

Let me give you an example. said that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi brothers fought for the storage position. Cao Cao asked Jia Xu left and right for the prince's retreat, but Jia Xu kept silent. Cao Cao said: "If you don't answer with Qing, why not?" Jia Xu said: "It is appropriate to think about it, so it is not the right ear." Cao Cao said, "What do you think? Jia Xu said: "Si Yuan Benchu, Liu Jingsheng and his son are also" ("Three Kingdoms? Wei Shu? Biography of Jia Xu).

Cao Cao laughed, and in the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), Cao Pi was established as the son. Cao Cao felt that his eldest son Cao Pi was inferior to his younger brother Cao Zhi, so he wanted to bypass Cao Pi and establish Cao Zhi as the crown prince and ask the advisor Jia Xu's opinion.

The treacherous and cunning Jia Xu was silent and pondered there. Cao Cao asked Jia Xu, what are you thinking, why don't you answer my words? Jia Xu said that I was thinking about Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, their father and son.

Cao Cao laughed at this and made up his mind to make Cao Pi the crown prince. Sometimes a few words are enough, or even a look.

Jia Xu is smart, Cao Cao is not stupid, Jia Xu, why did he bring up Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, because these two brothers did not appoint their eldest son as the prince, so the final outcome is over. This is the lesson, and I hope Cao Cao will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

How could Cao Cao's generation of heroes not understand? Therefore, the primogeniture inheritance system is not unreasonable, and it cannot be abolished lightly. But the development of the shape shì has completely gotten out of control.

All of them are like a wound up according to their own interests, hoping not to be abandoned in this struggle for their personal destiny, not to be on the wrong side. It's really the wall that everyone pushes, and the broken drum is beating Yang Yong step by step towards the abyss.

In fact, at this time, Yang Yong still has a chance, and most of the courtiers still support Yang Yong, after all, many of the charges woven on Yang Yong's head are unsubstantiated, unsubstantiated, and unconvincing.

What's more, strictly speaking, Yang Yong didn't do anything particularly out of the ordinary. As long as you stabilize your position, you will still have a good chance of turning the tables on the outside.

But Yang Guang is a mediocre person, although he is the prince of the Great Sui, his IQ and EQ are very limited. At this time, Yang Yong was already like an ant on a hot pot and couldn't sit still. He was already in a big mess, and he made a lot of tricks. One step further and he will never recover!

In fact, Yang Guang is not so muddy in history, Li Yuan is not so cowardly, and Li Shimin is not so godly!

Examples: First, from the perspective of cultural governance and martial arts, Li Tang and the Great Sui cannot be compared at all. Li Shimin's Zhenguan Dynasty has a household registration of more than 2 million, and it is only 3.8 million during the years of his son Li Zhiyonghui, ** How many household registrations did the Yang Emperor Yang Guangye of the Sui Dynasty have in the past few decades?

> There is a set of numbers in the five years of the great cause, and you can stand firm and listen to it. "At that time, there were one hundred and ninety counties, one thousand two hundred and fifty-five counties, and eight million and nine hundred thousand households.

It is 9,300 miles from east to west, and 14,815 miles from north to south. The prosperity of the Sui family is extremely important. "From the perspective of cultural governance and martial arts, Emperor Yang of Sui can completely enter the top three in the ranking of emperors in the past dynasties. Since it is so bad, where does the title of Shengtang come from?

Where did Yang Guang's Yang come from? Answer: It's all foolishness. History has been facelifted! Second, they are both second brothers, Li Shimin and Yang Guang both succeeded in winning the heirs from the eldest brother.

Why is Yang Guang notorious in history to become the only husband of the **** negative pacesetter. And Li Shimin is famous in history for thousands of years?

Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, who grabbed power like him, and later Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, grabbed power in the same class, and killed his brother and imprisoned his father in the same way (Yang Guang is far worse than him). Yang Guang didn't kill his father, and his brothers didn't kill him.

The abolished prince Yang Yong was given to death by Yang Yue. Yang Jun died of illness. Yang Xiu and Yang Liang were arrested and imprisoned in Jiangdu Palace for rebellion, and were killed by Yu Wenhua and after the change. Yang Guang didn't kill one directly.

On the other hand, our wise and martial Li family's second son, Tang Taizong Li Shimin. This fierce brother killed his own brothers (Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji) and ten nephews in one day. It's all done in one day. He continued to raise the butcher's knife to kill the officials and subordinates of Guangguang East Palace, but he was dissuaded by Wei Chi before putting it down.

This Li Lao Er later killed his younger brother Han Wang Yuanchang. In terms of killing relatives, Li Lao Er is more ruthless than Yang Lao Er, right? Then why did Yang Guang leave a stench of absurdity and cruelty in history for thousands of years?

And Li Shimin, who is more ruthless than him, got another evaluation? It was the wisdom and martial arts of the first emperor through the ages, and no matter how high the evaluation was, it was not enough. What do you do?

Don't forget that the living lang who recorded the emperor's words and deeds worked under the emperor's direct leadership.

There is also one person who is also a confidant of Tang Taizong: Xu Jingzong. This lord has been with the second child of the Li family since the Wude period, and later voted for Wu Zetian to take down the eldest grandson Wuji and other Guanlong military groups, and he is completely a chameleon-style political opportunist.

Zhenguan's seventeen-year martial arts and Zhenguan's "Record" were completed by this buddy, and the middle recruits power and bribes to mess with historical materials that is this buddy's specialty.
