The instability of the prince's position couldn't help but make Yang Liang have a coveted heart that he shouldn't have. The emperor's father is old, the eldest brother of the crown prince is incompetent, as the son-in-law of the Son of Heaven, and with such a large territory and strong soldiers and horses in his hands, why can't he think more.

Don't look at his extremely high status now, his power is flourishing, he sits in the east, holds hundreds of thousands of horses, controls fifty-two states, everyone respects him, but he knows very well that these are only superficial. Everyone is in awe of the power in his hands, and now he is the emperor's favored prince, so he can have such a large territory. But one qiē is not set in stone, ten years in the east of the river and ten years in the west of the river.

As the Son of Heaven grows older, it won't be too long before the old emperor dies one day. At that time, even after the incompetent eldest brother of the crown prince ascends the throne, will he still be able to tolerate himself to continue to sit in the fifty-two states of Kanto? There was a rebellion of the seven kings in the Western Han Dynasty, where did it come from? Isn't it because after the establishment of the Han Taizu, the clan was divided into kings, and then later, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty wanted to cut the feudal domain again, and the result was the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. Now his governor of the annexed state is sealed by the Son of Heaven, but when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he may have to cut the power of the domain. A father can let his son sit on one side, but the eldest brother will let his brother sit on one side?

Among the five brothers, Yang Liang was the youngest, and when the prince got married, Yang Liang was still breastfeeding. The crown prince has been the crown prince for eighteen years, and he has only been in the domain for more than a year. After taking over the domain, Yang Liang fully felt the refreshment of sitting on the side of the town, the feeling of holding power and killing himself. But the emperor is getting older and older, and after being the emperor for eighteen years, how many years can the Son of Heaven reign?

Speak from the heart. He had just received the feeling of being in power, and he was very reluctant to take this position. Of their five brothers, the third brother Yang Jun originally served as the governor of Bingzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Qinzhou. However, when he became the governor of Bingzhou last year, the third brother Yang Jun was dismissed from his official position by the Son of Heaven, and he could only stay in the palace all day to reflect. When he returned to Beijing this time, he went to visit the third brother in the palace of King Qin, a prince and the former chief manager, but now it has only been a year. The whole person has already crossed. Lying on the bed sickly, thin and unlooking. He was never willing to become the second King of Qin, and he was never willing to be removed from his official position. I can only stay in the palace of the capital and can't go anywhere, and I will be a waste.

The Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou is a large governor's office, which includes almost the entire former Northern Qi Dynasty. But in his heart, his position as the governor of the state is not stable. He's done a great job here. Nor will it be his kingdom. Although the Son of Heaven let several princes and sons sit in various places. But they only sat in the name of the governor, not the real sense of the feudal state. and the governor's mansion of the state, not his Han country. Since it is only a general manager and a foreign official position, then the emperor can be sealed today, and the new emperor can be removed at any time. It has only been 18 years since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the position of the governor of the state was originally Yang Guang, the king of Jin. Later, the king of Qin also served as the king, and the king of Jin later served for a short time. In the end, he was appointed again. There are even civil and military officials with foreign surnames who have held this important position. Yang Liang had to wonder, how long could he stay in this place?

Yang Liang was very envious of the feudal system of the Han and Jin Dynasty, and the princes and princes could all open the country feudally and have a kingdom of their own. The princes and princes of the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty had their own kingdoms and their own armies, and if the emperor and the court wanted to infringe on their interests, they would dare to fight directly with the emperor. Compared with those kings of the Han and Jin dynasties, he is really like a poor bastard, guarding a mountain of gold, but none of the gold is his own. According to the blunt words, he is a gatekeeper for the Son of Heaven. In this huge state governor's mansion, he can spend the money, eat it, use it, squander it, and even give it away, but it doesn't really belong to him.

Seeing that the eldest brother Yang Yong, such an incompetent and mediocre person, became a prince just because he was born earlier. When the Son of Heaven dies in the future, such a huge dynasty will completely belong to him.

It is difficult for him to accept such a result, and the more he thinks about it, the more difficult it is to accept, even if it is an ordinary family dividing the family property, except for those concubines, the sons-in-law have the right to share. Even if the sister-in-law of the long house has more shares, the other sisters-in-law also have a share. He Yang Liang and Yang Yong are brothers of the same mother, even if Yang Yong inherits the throne in the future, then how can he, the prince, divide a kingdom.

Therefore, Yang Liang couldn't figure it out, but also began to think about his own future. When he was in Jingshi before, he didn't think about this. At that time, he didn't have much to rely on to think about this. However, when he was in Jingshi, he saw that his second brother Yang Guang had been moving. The second brother Yang Guang has a virtuous name praised by the world, and once led the army to extinguish Nan Chen, and sat in Jiangnan for many years, successfully pacified the south, and won the love of his father in politics, and Yang Guang also did a good job in private life, and the Jin princess Xiao has a very good relationship, in his thirties, the only two sons are all concubines of the princess, and they are not as female as the prince, and a group of lowly women gave birth to a bunch of concubines and sons of Yehe.

Yang Liang does not have the advantage of being a natural eldest son like the eldest brother, nor does he have a virtuous name like the second brother. In the past, the only thing he could honor was that he was the youngest son of the Son of Heaven and the Empress and had a little more favor from the two saints, but now, when he went out of the town and the state, he had a strong soldier in his hands that none of the five brothers could match.

There have been many examples in history of brothers meeting each other in the end, but except for those small dynasties in troubled times, those big countries such as the Han and Jin dynasties do not seem to have a precedent for the success of the Zong rebellion. The rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the Western Han Dynasty was defeated, and the Rebellion of the Eight Kingdoms in the Western Jin Dynasty was more complicated. What was in front of him did not seem to be a bright avenue.

But let him accept his fate willingly, and he couldn't accept it. Especially when he returned to Beijing this time, he heard a lot of valuable news. Previously, a friend of Jingshi sued him that the prince was probably going to lose his position this time. Then after he arrived in Daxing, suddenly news came from a reliable person in the palace, saying that the prince's position had temporarily stabilized. This sudden change turned out to be an extremely unexpected variable.

Yi Feng, or Yang Lin.

The child who died when the crown prince and the princess Yuan died did not die, but reappeared after 16 years.

And what surprised him even more was that this nephew who suddenly appeared was actually on his own territory. Just when he was about to lead his troops to Liaodong, when he was struggling with the mud all day long, Yi Feng actually quickly integrated the green forest horse thieves in Yanshan and Qinshan on the edge of his territory, and integrated a large force in a short period of time, and with the complicated tension of the situation in the north, he actually immediately cleared his name. Later, because of the sudden revelation of his identity as the emperor's grandson, when he had to return to the dynasty after losing the battle, this nephew who suddenly appeared became the newly established governor of Wuzhou.

During his time in Chang'an, he also often heard rumors about Yi Feng. The Son of Heaven is very interested in this eldest grandson, and this Yi Feng seems to be quite good, originally he was just a horse thief, but now he has made a lot of power at his doorstep. Now it has directly become a subordinate of his Yang Liang, the original land of fifty-two states, and now there are new Yanzhou and Wuzhou, and his territory has fifty-four states. Yi Feng, this nephew who suddenly appeared is also one of his commanders.

Those bandits and horse thieves in Yanshan and Qinshan, Yang Liang knows. After he arrived in the state last year, his subordinates carefully reported to him about these bandits on the border. At that time, Yang Liang had a plan to exterminate these bandits, but then he couldn't get out for a while, so he dragged it down. Later, when the matter of conquest of Liao was decided, there was no effort. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, these bandits were integrated and recruited by Yi Feng. After recruiting these bandits, Yi Feng actually built a city and fort in Huaihuang, set up a border city, and even in this short period of time, he fought several battles with the Tiele people in the north, killed tens of thousands of Hu people, and even brought together the tribes of Xi, Khitan, and Xia in the north.

When Yang Liang heard those things in Chang'an, he felt that it was as magical as listening to a story. But after the confirmation of the Son of Heaven, these are indeed facts.

Now not only is the Son of Heaven interested in this imperial grandson, but Yang Liang is also interested in this nephew.

First, I am interested in the sudden appearance of this nephew to temporarily help the prince stabilize the position of the prince, and secondly, when he was in Chang'an, he heard that this Yi Feng recruited those bandits and harvested a large amount of treasures, and secondly, Yi Feng opened a border market in Huaihuang, and Hu people in the market, Yi cattle, horses, medicinal materials, leather goods, etc., it is said that gold and silver are earned every day like flowing water.

When Yang Liang heard this, he already had an idea in his heart.

If you can get rid of Yi Feng, and then collect the bandits and horses who are recruited by Huaihuang, and pocket the money of Huaihuang, this will be a big help. Drop Yi Feng, maybe the prince's last straw will be gone.

Resting in the princess's room at night, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and lingered with Princess Doulu all night.

Early the next morning, Yang forgave up, and Dou Luyu was already waiting in the front hall.

"How much do you know about Yi Feng? In addition, how much do you know about the situation in Wuzhou now? As soon as Yang Liang saw Dou Luyu, he immediately asked.

"I'm here to report to the king about Yi Feng and Wuzhou, even if the king doesn't ask, I just want to report to the king." Dou Luyu said with a smile. (To be continued......)
