Chapter 269: Hit it off

Yang Liang has been exhausted in the past six months, physically and mentally exhausted, and miserable.

In the palace by the emperor and queen for many years, once the country was exiled, won the most extensive and powerful of the four governors, and the state governor, I thought it was a good day to enjoy freedom and glory, who knows, all kinds of unpleasant things followed. First of all, he found that although he was the governor of the merged prefecture and had jurisdiction over more than 50 prefectures and the old land of Northern Qi, many of his subordinates actually disobeyed him. Even a group of Taihang thieves dared to bare their teeth with him, but he couldn't clean it up, so he could only swallow his anger and accept the other party's 'please surrender'. Finally, he won the position of marshal of the Eastern Expedition, thinking that it was a great opportunity for him to establish his prestige, but in the end he lost a bigger face, and the wolf bèi returned with great points, but he folded a lot of trust in front of the Son of Heaven. Thanks to the queen's undiminished love for him, he was finally able to get out of the quagmire. Physically and mentally exhausted after returning from Beijing, hearing about the prosperity of Huaihuang, he sent people to Huaihuang, wanting to let that 'nephew' know who was the most effective person in Kanto, but he never thought that Yi Feng would dare to lock up Zhao Zhang, who he sent, so unceremoniously, and at the same time, he even arrested all the people sent to Huaihuang before and after the Han Wangfu, and pulled them to prospect for reclamation, which is simply intolerable.

Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?

Zhao Zhang can only be regarded as a small governor in the Han Palace, but even if he is a dog from the Han Palace, Yi Feng should never be disregarded for the face of the dog owner. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention, this is the person he Yang Liang personally sent out. Yi Feng didn't hit a dog, but nakedly hit his Han King Yang Liang in the face.

It's really not going well. The passing year is not good.

In terms of the annexation of Fanzhou, the governor of Hongzhou, the governor of Youzhou, the governor of Yingzhou, and the current governor of Fuzhou and Wuzhou are all not their own people. is against his own yang and yin, and those who are not princes behind their backs are on the side of King Jin. The Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, Gao Gong did not take himself seriously at all. Now, even a small Wuzhou governor doesn't take himself seriously. If he Yang Liang doesn't say it again, then it is really a tiger who is not powerful, and they all think that they are sick cats. If this continues, what majesty will he have to talk about in the future, as the governor of the state, Han Wang Yang Liang?

In this case. Yang Liang knew that he couldn't have the slightest weakness. He's got to be tough and have a stronger attitude. Let the Emperor see. Let these governors of Bingzhou see it, and let the soldiers under him see that he Yang Liang is not an incompetent person, nor is he a person who can be bullied at will.

Yang Liang only learned about what happened in Huaihuang on the third day after Zhao Zhang lost contact. When you hear the news of the fast horse return. Yang Liang's first reaction was disbelief.

Although Yi Feng, the governor of Wuzhou, is the grandson of the emperor who once 'died and was resurrected', even if he was once the eldest grandson of the emperor, can an emperor who has been in exile for 16 years still be counted as the eldest grandson of the royal family? What's more, this Yi Feng is not just a simple matter of living among the people, but has fallen into the den of horse thieves and bandits in Yanshan in northern Xinjiang, serving an old horse thief as a righteous son and carrying the banner for the horse thief for many years. Such a horse thief emperor grandson. But it can't be put on the table. Besides, others don't know the details of the emperor's grandson 'Yang Lin'. Would he not know? How did the crown princess Yuan, that is, Yang Lin's biological mother, die? claimed to have died violently, but in fact, no one in the palace knew that the crown princess Yuan was actually poisoned by the crown princess Yun Zhaoxun. The queen has definite evidence, but at that time, things had already happened, and the queen and the Son of Heaven could only make big things small. Yi Feng's biological mother Yuan Shi is dead, and she was poisoned by the prince's concubine Yun Zhaoxun, and it is said that there is still a share of the prince's share in this matter. In this way, Yi Feng, the emperor's grandson, died of his own mother, and he was murdered by his father and concubine, so it is conceivable what his status will be on the side of the prince of the East Palace. Yun Zhaoxun, who gave birth to four sons for the crown prince, would definitely not welcome the return of this concubine of the East Palace, who died early, and the concubines who gave birth to six concubines with the prince would definitely not want to suddenly return a concubine. It is estimated that even the crown prince does not want to see a son who was killed by himself return to his biological mother.

And for the Son of Heaven, Yi Feng or Yang Lin is indeed the grandson of the royal family of the Heavenly Family, and the only grandson of the crown prince, but Yi Feng disappeared at the age of two and was the grandson of the emperor who had been in the Hu bandit den for twelve years, can he really regain his original position? Yang Liang felt that he must not be able to, otherwise, Yi Feng would have been recalled to the capital long ago, and even directly crowned the king, where could he only be crowned a county duke. In his opinion, even if Yi Feng recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors in the future, it is absolutely impossible for him to become the heir of the crown prince again, let alone have the opportunity to inherit the Sui family.

After Yang Liang and his henchmen hurriedly discussed, they reached a unanimous consensus, Yi Feng's greatest possibility was only to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors and then be awarded the title of a county king, at most he could get a king title in the future, but it was absolutely impossible to succeed to the throne. Even if the crown prince's position is stable in the future, Yi Feng, even if he is only the only concubine, has no chance of becoming the heir. Yi Feng has been living among the people since he was a child, and he grew up in the Hu clan and bandits' den, which makes him have no chance to become an heir. And although the crown prince now only has Yi Feng's son-in-law, the position of the son-in-law is based on the status of the prince's mother. After the death of the Yuan family, there was no more crown princess, but as long as the prince officially renewed another Donggong princess, or directly raised a Donggong concubine as a concubine in the future, then the son born to the new princess will immediately become a concubine. In that case, what else is Yi Feng afraid of? At most, Yi Feng is just a king, and he Yang Liang is now the king. And this time it was Yi Feng who tore his face first, so he also had a legitimate reason to fight back, even if he sued the Son of Heaven, he was not afraid.

So, after consulting with his confidants, he proposed to deal with Yi Feng.

"If you don't give him some color, he really thinks that he is really the emperor's grandson."

There is a thousand differences between the emperor and the crown prince, although the difference is only one word, but it is as huge as the difference between the prince and the crown prince. Adding a prince character means that the crown prince is the prince, and without this prince, it only means that he is the emperor's son or the emperor's grandson. The prince is the vice-monarch of the country and the future emperor. And the prince's grandson is just the emperor's grandson. Don't say that if there is Yang Yong, the prince, as the prince today, even if there is no prince. There is no chance that Yi Feng will be the emperor's grandson.

Of course, Zhao Zhang's incident is just an excuse and a reason. If Yi Feng is really just a horse thief and bandit in the frontier, there is no need for Yang Liang to really get along with this imperial nephew. The most important thing is that Yi Feng has the benefits of being worthy of Yang Liang's hands, after Zhao Zhang was arrested, it also made Yang Liang pay a new attention to Huaihuang, and after careful inquiry, Yang Liang also knew that Huaihuang was now prosperous and rich. It has a population of no less than half a million people. There are many mining workshops, and more importantly, there are many profitable business transactions. Armory workshops, salt ponds, wine mills, sugar mills, paper mills, printing workshops, carriage mills, steel mills, charcoal factories and even the Han Wang's Mansion in Taiyuan City are full of all kinds of commodities sold from Huaihuang. Let's just say that the wine shop that caused the accident this time. After Yi Feng caught Zhao Zhang and rejected his underwriting proposal, his production capacity increased greatly, and he had just sold one million catties of liquor at one time. Worth hundreds of thousands. The orders placed by merchants from all over the country have been scheduled for the second half of next year.

No matter what kind of business it is, as long as you can win one or two things, it is already a big deal. If he can snatch the entire Huai Famine, then he will not be short of money at all in the future.

Although Yang Liang is a prince, he now also knows the reuse of money. As long as he has money, he can raise more loyal guards and horses, and he can win over more officials. And with money, there will be food. There will be an army of soldiers and horses, and there will be the capital to win the East Palace.

The subordinates also agreed with this mention. The wealth and prosperity of Huaihuang made the officials of the governor's office in Taiyuan City, which was not far away, blush. But such a prosperous and lively situation has nothing to do with them. Yi Feng, the governor of Wuzhou, has not sent anyone to Taiyuan to give them a penny gift to these messengers so far.

Then, to deal with Yi Feng, it can't be simple and straightforward. In any case, Yi Feng is also a grandson of the emperor and the son of the crown prince. But Yang Liang is firm, even if it is troublesome, it is worth it. Although there is a certain amount of risk, the return is also extremely high. As long as Yi Feng can be solved, then Wuzhou will really be his own subordinate state, and at that time, Huaihuang's qiΔ“ will naturally be his own.

So, Yang Liang asked his henchmen to think of a way to get the best of both worlds for themselves, not only to get a bad breath for themselves, but also to drive Yi Feng out of Huaihuang and take the industry for himself, it is best not to make the emperor and queen unhappy because of this.

The staff members offered advice for him, some proposed to simply send assassins to assassinate him, some proposed to buy the people around Yi Feng to poison Yi Feng without knowing it, and some asked the king of Han to say that the queen would leave Yi Feng in Beijing and never let him return to Huaihuang. All plans have been said, Yang Liang has not considered which plan is more feasible, Xiao Maha, who served as a guard, rushed to report and caught a thief who sneaked into Taiyuan City, it was Song Jingang, the fourth master of Heifeng Village who came to ask for surrender last time, saying that there was something important to meet the King of Han in person.

"What's important?" Hearing that it was someone from the Black Wind Village, Yang Liang raised his eyebrows, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes and some anger, but this little Black Wind Village had caused him a lot of embarrassment, and in the end, he had to change to Fu 'Zhao'an' them, but in fact, he was helpless against this group of bandits. It's just that these bandits are entrenched in dangerous mountains, and they are indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they can't take it if they send fewer people, but if things get bigger, and there are more people to be sent, they will lose face at that time. Therefore, even if he pressed the matter, he didn't expect that these thieves would dare to take the initiative to come to the door again.

"A few days ago, Heifengling robbed a caravan returning to Taiyuan from Huaihuang in Wei County, robbed the goods and killed people, which is very bad." The beard is half white, but he is still old and strong, his face is full of red light, and his figure is vigorous, and he does not show half of his age, Xiao Maha, the god of war of the Southern Dynasty, said lightly. "But this time they kicked the iron plate, although the caravan that was robbed was a caravan in Taiyuan, but it was guarded by the people of Yifeng in Huaihuang City."

Hearing this, Yang Liang became a little interested. "Dog eats dog, bite well. I heard that the five masters of this Black Wind Village and Yi Feng were also accomplices, right? ”

"The five masters of the Black Wind Village, King Suba, were once the righteous sons of an elder of the Tiger Alliance, and that elder and Murong Ke used to be righteous brothers, and Yi Feng was Murong Ke's righteous son. That's right, they were indeed all in the same nest, but later Wang Xuba's father-in-law and Murong Ke had infighting, poisoned Murong Ke, and finally were eliminated by Murong Ke's daughter Murong Rose and Yi Feng and others. If you really want to count it, the five brothers Yi Feng and Wang Xuba can also be regarded as the Green Forest brothers, but each is its own master, and it can be regarded as an enemy at the most. ”

"What is Song Jingang doing here to find Gu now?"

"The old five Wang Xiong of the Black Wind Village robbed the goods and killed people, but the result was not clean, someone ran back through the net, Huaihuang sent a team of 100 cavalry, very fierce, with a hundred horses to break through the Black Wind Ridge, and also captured Wang Xiong and more than 100 Black Wind thieves calmly returned to Huaihuang. Before leaving, he also sent someone to send a letter to the officers and soldiers of Wei County, asking them to take the opportunity to copy the black wind thieves and their families who were broken in the village, and now the black wind village has been occupied by officers and soldiers, and more than 3,000 black wind bandits are all in custody. The good news of Wei County has just arrived, and I have already seen it, as Song Jingang said. ”

"One hundred horsemen will destroy the Black Wind Village on the Black Wind Ridge?" Yang Liang took a breath of cold air, how could this Huai Huang Army be so powerful. And he also thought of an important thing, how the Huaihuang army went south and passed through Yanzhou into Ulzhou, and went all the way to the Black Wind Ridge to break the village and capture people. Are they like they are in a no-man's land? If this is a thousand or ten thousand, then they won't kill them directly to Taiyuan City?

Xiao Maha saw Yang Liang's concern, "The king doesn't have to worry too much, it is precisely because of the small number of people that they were able to touch the Black Wind Ridge." Moreover, Wei County is close to Huaihuang, which is very remote, and there are few soldiers, so it is normal not to notice it for a while. But if you want to go south, it is impossible. The more people, the easier it is to be discovered. And more than 100 horsemen can only reach the first line of Ulzhou at most, and the first line of Xin and Dai in the south is very tightly guarded, and it is impossible for them to penetrate it. ”

Yang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Does Song Jingang want to let go of those black wind thieves who were captured?" ”

"Exactly, Song Jingang said that the people of Heifeng Village have already been recruited by the king and attached to the government, and the Huaihuang army's behavior is illegal, please ask the king of Han to be the master for them!"

"Hmph, a bandit is a bandit, and he really takes himself seriously. At that time, the king was only going to lead an army to the east, so he temporarily spared this group of bandits and let them get away with it for a while. Zhao'an, they also deserve it. Yang Liang scolded a few words, "But, that's fine." Lone had indeed recruited Heifeng Village at the beginning, even if they robbed and killed people illegally, but this matter was also outside Wuzhou, what right did Yi Feng have to dare to cross the border to arrest people? Well, sue sΓΉ Song Jingang, there is no problem with releasing people, but you can't let it go in vain. If they can do one thing for Gu, not to mention the three thousand black wind thieves in the hands of the Wei County officials and soldiers, even Wang Xiong, who was caught in the wilderness, and other people can also bring them back and release them. ”

Xiao Maha immediately understood what was out of the words.

"Let the people of Heifeng Village make a move, I'm afraid they are not Yi Feng's opponents."

"So what's the matter, if it happens, it's fine, if it doesn't, it doesn't matter. Anyway, whether it succeeds or not, it's just a grudge between Yi Feng and Wang Xuba, isn't it? Yang Liang said with a sneer.

"The king is clever, a good strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and no matter whether it succeeds or not, this thing can't climb up to us, even if Wang Xuba misses and confesses, no one will believe it, wonderful! The king is really getting more and more unfathomable. ”

"Hahaha!" Yang Liang laughed proudly. "It's up to you to handle this matter, Song Jingang doesn't have to take him to see Gu, and don't let him swagger in Taiyuan City, let him go back quickly after talking. In short, you sue him, Lone has always been trustworthy, as long as the thing is done, Lone not only releases people, but also has other benefits! ”

"Yes, the last general will do his best to do this." (To be continued......)
