Chapter 291: Concubines and Concubines
The king of Changning County did not expect that at this time, he would meet the prince of Changning County here unexpectedly, and he didn't know how to react for a while, and the two people were deadlocked on the street.
Yang Yan is very jealous of Yi Feng, he has been the king of Changning for more than ten years, but now the emperor suddenly gave Yi Feng a county prince of Changning, and a county title to two people. If Yi Feng was just a frontier manager, then that's fine, but now who doesn't know that this Yi Feng is actually his brother. Before Yi Feng appeared, he was the eldest son of the East Palace, the eldest grandson of the royal family, although his mother was only a concubine of the East Palace, but when the crown princess of the East Palace died for seven years and the prince did not remarry, his eldest son did not seem so humble, but had a great chance to become the heir of the heavenly family in the future. But as soon as Yi Feng appeared, it was different, and everything changed. Who knows, the Changning title given to Yi Feng by the emperor means that his long-standing position as the heir of the East Palace is about to give way.
Sitting in the luxurious and comfortable carriage, Yang Yan was extremely annoyed at this time. He regrets it very much now, if he didn't see those good horses just now, he stopped and stopped Yi Feng, and there would be no such embarrassment at this time.
Yang Yan wanted to hide his head and leave, but he didn't recognize Yi Fenglai.
has been the king of Changning for more than ten years, as the eldest son of the East Palace, he has already regarded himself as the future heir of the Great Sui world, and feels that sooner or later he will inherit the position of the crown prince, and even one day in the future, inherit the thousands of miles of Great Sui rivers and mountains. The Yi Feng that suddenly appeared in front of him was already a deep threat to his position.
But Yang Yan also grew up in Beijing after all. Since I was a child, I have been accustomed to all kinds of power struggles, and my scheming is also very deep. It is impossible for a simple-minded person to sit firmly in his current position among the kings of the East Palace. Think about the situation at hand. If he left quietly like this, then this matter would definitely spread throughout the Jingshi soon, and then everyone would say that he had fled in disgrace, and that he was afraid of Yi Feng. What's more, even if you avoid it today, you can hide from the first day of junior high school, can you still avoid it from the fifteenth? Since Yi Feng has entered Beijing. Then the fight between them is inevitable. In any case, this is the first meeting with Yi Feng, and it is also the first head-to-head confrontation with Yi Feng. I can't back down no matter what.
In history, Yang Yong, who had been the crown prince for nineteen years, was finally deposed, and after being imprisoned for a few years, Yang Guang ascended the throne. Immediately pretended to be Emperor Wen's edict to give Yang Yong death. After his death, he was named the king of Fangling. But none of his ten sons had heirs. Yang Yan and other eight county kings who had been crowned kings were also abolished as concubines as early as when Yang Yong was deposed, and when Yang Yong was given death, Yang Yan and others were all exiled to Lingnan. But Yang Yan was not exiled to Lingnan in the end, and on the way, they were caught up by their maternal grandfather Yun Dingxing, who poisoned their nephews one by one, and exchanged their nephews' lives for a rich future.
However, at this time, although there were repeated rumors that the two saints were dissatisfied with the prince. But most people still think that although the prince is not as favored as before. But most of the Great Sui Jiangshan will eventually be inherited by Yang Yong. Yang Yan has always thought so, especially recently, the emperor has successively seen the prince enter the palace, and even stay for dinner, which in his opinion is an excellent sign, indicating that his father's position as the crown prince has been stabilized. In this favorable situation, Yang Yan also felt that his position was stable, he was a county king, and of course he couldn't admit it in front of Yi Feng at this time.
The meeting at this time was a confrontation, and the purpose of the competition was, of course, the position of the heir of the East Palace.
Thinking about the reason, Yang Yan coughed lightly, "On the other side, is it the head of Wuzhou, Yi Yuanjun?" I am the eldest son of the East Palace, Changning Wang Yan, and I am fortunate to meet here! ”
Although he said that he was lucky, he sat motionless in the carriage, and he didn't even lift the curtains. That attitude is extremely arrogant, and he just treats Yi Feng as just a frontier manager.
Yi Feng was riding on a horse, how could he not hear the meaning of Yang Yan's words, he deliberately did not mention his identity as the emperor and grandson, this was to use the identity of the county king to suppress his identity as the county prince. Yi Feng chuckled, scoffed at this method, and immediately laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it's true that Yi Feng is down there, but there is another name that only King Changning won't know, how?" When the younger brother saw his brother in person, shouldn't he come out and salute? ”
Yang Yan's face sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wang doesn't know that there is a brother above, so Manager Yi has to be careful when he speaks, and don't commit the crime of disrespect." ”
"A certain has just returned from the palace, His Majesty just called Yang Lin in person, and has asked me to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, from now on, I am Yi Feng, Yi Feng is Yang Lin, the eldest son of the East Palace, and the eldest grandson of the royal family. Yang Yan, don't come out to meet your brother yet! Yi Feng said coldly and in the end, he shouted directly. For a mere Yang Yan, he doesn't pay much attention to it. But since the other party wants to step on himself without his own strength, there is no need to be polite to him.
Yang Yan clenched his teeth in the carriage, and his face was cloudy. But in the end, he felt that Yi Feng didn't lie to him, if the Son of Heaven hadn't said that, then Yi Feng had committed a real crime of disrespect just now. No one dares to say such nonsense, and no one dares to falsely proclaim the holy decree. And if that's true, then I can really only go out to see Yi Feng now. The Great Sui attaches great importance to filial piety and is based on filial piety. And filial piety is to pay attention to the principle of respecting and humbling the monarch and the minister. Since Yi Feng has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and the emperor has recognized his status as the eldest grandson of the royal family, then Yi Feng has become Yang Yan's brother, and he is also the elder brother. The difference between the concubine and the concubine is huge, and the more the royal family, the more important this difference between the concubine and the concubine is. In the past, there were no concubines in the East Palace, so the concubines were respected and inferior by the eldest and youngest, and he was able to stand out among the brothers and become a special one. But now, Yi Feng threw out the identity of the eldest son of Donggong Yan, even if Yi Feng was only a county prince, but he, the county king, had to get out of the carriage and salute Yi Feng to say goodbye.
This is the difference between the patriarchal era.
When he got up, Yang Yan's hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned white.
After a few long breaths, he finally lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.
Yi Feng only noticed at this time. Yang Yan's face was a little pale, but he was slender, and his eyebrows even looked a little similar to his own. It seems that Queen Dugu suspected that Yang Yan was a wild seed that the Yun clan was making peace with others outside, and her guess was wrong. Although Yang Yan is indeed born from Yang Yong and the Yun clan in the field, he is indeed the bloodline of the Yang clan of the royal family of the Heavenly Family.
Yi Feng didn't mean to get off the horse while riding on the horse, he just looked at Yang Yan condescendingly, with a smile on his face. He actually looked forward to Yang Yan's refusal to back down, and wished that Yang Yan would make a big fuss, so that he would have enough reason to teach this prince a good lesson. Of course. Teaching Yang Yan is just incidental, what he hopes most is to convey his attitude to Yang Yong. Even, he wasn't worried about teaching Yang Yan a lesson. offended Yang Yong, and this matter reached the ears of Yang Jian and his wife. He is now temporarily living in the Yuan Mansion after entering Beijing, if he teaches Yang Yan a lesson, I believe that Yang Jian and his wife will only think that he knows the cause of the death of the crown princess Yuan. Therefore, as a son of man, he took revenge on Yun's mother and son. This will not only not be a bad thing, but may make Yang Jian and his wife understand.
However, Yang Yan still disappointed Yi Feng after all, and Yang Yan faced Yi Feng's killer move, and directly admitted defeat.
was born as a concubine, and there is an inferiority complex in his bones. Therefore, when Yi Feng said that the Son of Heaven had recognized him as the eldest grandson, Yang Yan could only get out of the carriage in despair and helplessness, bow to Yi Feng, and meet his brother.
"Get up. In this snowy and rainy weather, go home early to read books if you have nothing to do. Don't wander around in a carriage if you have nothing to do. For this brother, Yi Feng didn't save face at all, and in front of everyone on both sides, it was a reprimand.
was reprimanded, but Yang Yan had nothing to refute. Yi Feng is a son-in-law, he is a concubine, and in terms of long order, Yi Feng is also older than him, so he is not only a son-in-law, but also the eldest son, when his cousin faces the eldest brother, it is like the difference between a monarch and a minister, and there is no room for refutation. The hatred burned in his heart, but at this time on the street, he could only lower his head and nod to the point that he wanted to not give an inch and fight fiercely with Yi Feng, and he had already retreated. As soon as Yi Feng moved out of his concubine, he had no room to fight back.
"Today, I invited several sons of Shangshu Zuo Servant Gao Xianggong, as well as several sons of the Wei family of Taifu Mansion, as well as several sons of the Li family of Taishi Mansion and several sons of the Yu family of Taifu Mansion, as well as many other sons of the Marquis of Jingshi and Zhu countries, to make an appointment to go to Baqiao to see the snow, and then go to Huaqing Pool to soak in warm soup." Yang Yan replied, but he still said the identities of the drivers behind him in one breath, including the sons of Gao Gong, the prime minister of the DPRK and China, and the three major valves of Wei, Li and Yu. The meaning of this naturally has the meaning of taking advantage of the situation.
Yi Feng listened, just smiled slightly, of course he knew that the crown prince had been able to hold on until now and had not been replaced, in addition to the emperor's hesitation, although the eldest was a problem, the main thing was that there were many people in the court who supported Yang Yong, or that there were many people who had long been linked to Yang Yong's interests. For example, when the prime minister of the dynasty, Shangshu Zuo servant Gao Gong, served as the head of the hundred officials for more than ten years, and his status in the court was unprecedentedly high, and Gao Gong's third son married Yang Yong's daughter Princess Daning. And Yang Yong also married a woman of the same clan of Gao Gong as Liangdi. Liangdi is the second most important concubine in the prince's east palace after the crown princess, and she is the third product. It is precisely because of this mutual marriage that Gao Gong has become Yang Yong's most powerful supporter of the DPRK and China.
And the Wei family is also one of the top gate valves of the Great Sui, the Wei family, the children of the court are innumerable, Wei Xiaokuan was even more personally in charge, leading the Wei family to sweep away the Northern Wednesday Governor Chi Ji and others who raised troops to protect Zhou for Yang Jian. The Wei family set up a sweat and horse function for Yang Jian to usurp Zhou, but Wei Xiaokuan, who was suspicious of Yang Jian, died early, and died not long after quelling the rebellion, so as soon as the Sui Dynasty was established, the Wei family immediately received a generous reward. The Wei family has sealed a number of national dukes, county dukes, and countless stabbing histories of the general of the Shangzhu State, and even many of his sons have served as the most important officials in the court, the civil department, and the military department several times. Of the four major governors set up by the imperial court in various places, three were held by the prince, and the only position of the governor of Jingzhou that was not held by the prince was held by Wei Shikang of the Wei family. It can be seen that Wei is strong, Yang Guang not long ago, he personally asked for the second son Yuzhang Wang Yang Jian to marry the daughter of Wei Xiaokuan's nephew, Wei Chong, the governor of Yingzhou, and married Wei. And Yang Yong also married the Wei family, as early as after Yang Guang married Wei Chong, he immediately married the Wei family, and promised his daughter Princess Fengning to Wei Yuanzhao, the young son of Wei Xiaokuan's son Wei Yuanzhao. Yang Guang, the king of Jin, asked his son to marry the daughter of the Wei family as a concubine, and the crown prince Yang Yong married his daughter Princess Fengning to the Wei family, and Wei Shikang became the only courtier with a foreign surname who was not the prince of the clan among the four governors.
And Taishi Li Mansion and Taifu Yu Mansion, Yi Feng also knows. It is also the top gate valve of the Great Sui, Taishi Li Fu refers to the Taishi Li Mu family and the Taifu Yuyi family who were named the three princes after the founding of the country, these two families are the top wealthy families of the twelve generals of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, and in the Sui Dynasty, not only did not weaken half a point, but because they stood on the right side at the beginning, they obtained more generous returns, and became one of the most prosperous top gate valves in Daxing City today. In the Li family of Taishi Mansion, there are more than 100 children of officials who have obtained more than nine grades. Taifu Yuyi's nine sons, all of whom hold important positions.
However, Yi Feng was not surprised when he heard these names, not to mention that these families may not all unswervingly support Yang Yong like the Gao family, even if they are really all Yang Yong's diehards, he doesn't need to be surprised. His current public identity is Yang Yong's sister-in-law, and Yang Yan is just a concubine. All families support Yang Yong, but they don't necessarily have to support Yang Yan. What's more, he didn't believe that these families were all loyal to Yang Yong at all.
"Oh, then remember to be safe." Yi Feng said casually, and then pointed to his carriage: "This carriage is good, how much did you buy it?" ”
Yang Yan immediately had a smug face, and said ostentatiously: "This is the most popular four-wheeled carriage among the wealthy nobles in Beijing today. But if my brother wants it, I'll get you one. ”
Yi Feng smiled lightly, but the flag guards beside him, such as Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin, couldn't help laughing.
"What brand is your carriage?"
"This is a BMW, I have a Mercedes, and a Land Rover and a Jaguar! BMW and Mercedes are very comfortable to sit in the city, and Land Rover and Jaguar are more convenient to run in the suburbs. Yang Yan still said proudly, this wheel carriage is indeed hard to find in Beijing now, but he has a full four, and it is also a good car of various properties of different brands, with dozens of good horses in the stable, this is a thing worth showing off.
"How much did four wagons cost?" Yi Feng asked.
"Each car is equipped with four stuffed horses, three thousand yuan, if you want, I will help you get it, and it will be the price."
Yi Feng shook his head.
"This price is really not expensive, now the average person in Beijing wants to pick up the car immediately, such a good carriage with such a good four horses, but it is far more than three thousand."
Yi Feng still shook his head, sighing in his heart that the profits of this business are really high, if he is in Huaihuang, the same configuration, one car with four horses, the price is at most a thousand yuan. When I arrived in Beijing, it had already reached 3,000 runs. But that's it, it's hard to find a car.
"Actually, this carriage is produced by Huai Huang, the carriage workshop is in my name, if you still want it, three thousand guan, just come to me to buy it in the future, and I will sell you as much as you want." Yi Feng spit out a sentence lightly, which made Yang Yan, who originally had the heart to show off, stunned on the spot for a while, at this time, he remembered that Yi Feng was the governor of Wuzhou, and Wuzhou was just plugged into the wilderness?
