Chapter 316: The New Governor of Wuzhou
(Thank you for your support, thank you!) )
"Tell me about the Gao family's daughter." Queen Dugu listened quietly to her husband and grandson talking about Youyan, and then asked.
Yang Jian shook his head, "When I first heard about you and the Gao family's daughter, I thought it was ridiculous. You actually joined the Gao family, hey, I know that you were injured and lost your memory at that time, so some things are just that. The daughter of the Gao family is the Northern Qi clan, and her father Gao Shaoyi is the third son of Emperor Xuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the half-brother of Emperor Gao Yin, the half-brother of Emperor Gao Yin, the king of Fanyang, Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed Qi, Gao Shaoyi fled to the Turks, and the Turks wanted to use it to divide the Central Plains, so they put those who fled to the north under the jurisdiction of Gao Shaoyi. Later, Gao Baoning persuaded him to advance in Yingzhou, and with the support of the Turks, Gao Shaoyi pretended to be the emperor of Northern Qi. Later, he was betrayed by the Turks and handed over to the Central Plains for disposal, and was finally exiled to Shu and died. Your Gao family was born to the Turks by the daughter of Gao Shaoyi and Bohai Feng Xiaowan, and after being born, Gao Shaoyi arranged for his subordinates to secretly flee from the Turks. After the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, Gao Baoning still resisted stubbornly in Yingzhou, colluding with the Turks and Goguryeo people to invade Youzhou repeatedly, and was the vanguard of the Hu people's lackeys. In the third year of the emperor's reign, he recruited his subordinates for the imperial court and killed them, but although Gao Shaoyi and Gao Baoning died, their daughters still led a group of subordinates who were loyal to the Northern Qi Dynasty, attached to the Goguryeo people, and had been secretly fighting against the imperial court. Yang Jian picked up a cup of tea and took another sip of tea soup, "If you hadn't married the Gao daughters, the court would not have allowed them." ”
"They have joined the court and let go of their obsessions." Yi Feng paused, "Now that Qianxue is at home, Gao Mingyue and the old ministry are also officials of Wuzhou, and they are dedicated to doing things for the imperial court. ”
Yang Jian's beard trembled, "Speak from the heart." The Gao sisters and the old department, I can forgive the past and not blame. He paused, "Sumeru." I also believe that the sisters have really let go of their obsessions now. However, I don't want the Gao family girl to be your wife. After all, when you got married. You are injured and have amnesia. Besides, as the eldest grandson of the Great Sui Emperor, you are now the King of Zhao, and your princess should also be a well-known lady of a wealthy family. In the future, you will give birth to a son, who will be the son of King Zhao. The daughter of the Gao family is not suitable to be your wife, I think it is good to be named a woman, and the prince can be named two daughters according to the system, so it is okay to seal this daughter of the Gao family and that Murong family. As for Princess Zhao, the queen and I will choose another suitable one for you. ”
Yi Feng was surprised when he heard this. The heart said that it is no wonder that he has been crowned King Zhao until now, and the palace has only decreed that Chen Wan and Xiao Sumei have been named Zhao Wang Teng, it turns out that the Son of Heaven and his wife are unwilling to recognize Qianxue as his wife. He had mixed feelings about this matter. He knew that from the perspective of the imperial court, Qianxue's father Gao Shaoyi was a recalcitrant who colluded with the Turks, which was different from Xiao Meiniang, the concubine of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, although Xiao Meiniang's father and brother were also emperors of the Liang Dynasty, but the Liang Dynasty had long since become a vassal of the Sui. After the second came to the Sui to swallow the Western Liang, the Western Liang Emperor and most of the royal family still surrendered very cooperatively. Yang Jian gave his son Yang Guang to marry the princess of Xiliang, one was that Xiliang had not been swallowed up at that time, and secondly, after it was swallowed up, Xiliang surrendered very tamely. But the Gao family is different. Gao Qianxue's father was originally just a county king of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and after the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he fled to the Turks. With the support of the Turks, a court in exile was established, and the Turks and Goguryeo continued to fight against the imperial court in conjunction with the Goboryeong of Yingju. Especially after Gao Shaoyi's death. Gao Baoning also used his banner to confront the Great Sui after the founding of the country for several years, and invaded the Sui realm several times. In the eyes of the Sui Dynasty. Gao Luyi and Gao Baoning are all sinners, and their daughters Gao Qianxue and Gao Mingyue are naturally also the daughters of sinners, not to mention that they have been attached to Goguryeo for many years to secretly fight against the imperial court. It's just that Yi Feng has an indescribable love in his heart, at the beginning, he and Gao Qianxue really didn't have any feelings, and then they also gathered less and separated more, but now Gao Qianxue gave birth to a son for him, helped him wholeheartedly, and led the entire Gao family's subordinates to vote for him, at this time, can Yi Feng deprive her of the position of his wife because of the emperor's words?
Maybe Yi Feng, as a later generation, doesn't care too much about the difference between the descendants and the concubines, but for the people of this era, the difference between the descendants and the concubines is a world of difference. Gao Qianxue loses her status as a wife, and her son will also lose her status as a sister-in-law. "Asayuki is a good woman." He pondered and replied, "Although she is Gao Shaoyi's daughter, it was all in the past, and now she is dedicated to her husband and children." She had just given birth to my firstborn son, who was not yet a full moon. ”
"The Murong clan is also very good to you, she has just given birth to a son for you, and she is not yet a full moon." The queen said on the side, "Sumeru, the main room of the concubine is very important, and whoever enters first is the concubine." I know you have feelings for Gao's daughter, but this can't be completely emotional. Pushing away the Gao daughter is Gao Shaoyi's daughter Don't say it, don't mention her secret confrontation against the court all these years, as far as I know, the Gao girl also has a strange disease, her hair is white, and she can't even see the sun, right. How can such a sick body become Princess Zhao? It is very likely that her son will inherit this disease, so how can Gao's son become the son of King Zhao? If you have feelings for Gao, then you can compensate more in other ways. Now you can let Her Majesty seal Gao's family as the king of Zhao and her child as the king of the county. ”
"Well, I will make an order to seal the Gao family as the king of Zhao, and the son of the Gao family, Yang Xun, as the king of Beiping County. In addition, the Murong family was named the king of Zhao, and the son of the Murong family, Yang Qi, was the king of Yuyang County. Feng Yuan's family, Chen's family, Xiao family, and other six people, and Zhao Wangmei. Yang Jian struck while the iron was hot, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he sealed all of Yi Feng's eight wives and concubines and two sons, obviously coming prepared. However, although Qianxue and Rose were both crowned heroes, their sons who were not yet full moon were all crowned county kings at once, which also showed that Yang Jian still had the intention of compensating Yi Feng.
Things have reached this point, and there is no room for Yi Feng to oppose it, even if he opposes it, it will not be useful, and it will also attract the displeasure of the Son of Heaven and his wife.
"Don't worry, we will definitely choose a good princess for you." Yang Jian saw that Yi Feng was no longer silent, and laughed at the moment, extremely happy. The laughter came out of the luxurious royal car, and the guards and princesses who were guarding the surrounding of the royal car clearly heard the emperor's happy laughter, and everyone couldn't help but look at the royal car, looking at the luxurious carriage, and King Zhao, who was accompanying the two saints in the carriage at this time, was thoughtful and had their own ideas.
Queen Dugu also said on the side: "All the big families in the court, which one do you fancy?" We will give you marriage, the Li family, the Wei family, the Yu family, the Dugu family, the Xiao family, the Wang family, and the Pei family. As long as you fancy it, we will do it for you. The queen's words were domineering. But also full of confidence. The grandson of the emperor and queen is married to a wife, who dares to refuse, who will refuse, this is the eldest grandson of the emperor, not an ordinary princess.
Yi Feng could only smile bitterly, he really didn't know how to answer for a while. On the surface, marrying a big lord would be extremely helpful to him. But in his heart. But he refuses to resent this form. Although, in fact, it is not the first time that he has carried out this kind of marriage of interests, and he married the Manyue of the Xi clan in the first place, wasn't it to win over the Xi people. Later, Naxiao Sumei, wasn't it because of the arrangement of Yang Guang and his wife. But the previous few times are still different from this time, after all, it was a concubine before, and now it is equivalent to divorce and remarry. made the original wife a concubine, which is not much different from remarrying a wife.
"Can this matter be discussed after this battle?" Yi Feng wanted to take the opportunity to delay. "Now that the war is imminent, my grandson has to rush back to Youzhou immediately after the New Year. I'm afraid I don't have time. ”
"It doesn't take much time." Yang Jian said, "As for returning to Youzhou, it's not bad for these two days. Things really have to be done very quickly, and the queen will choose the right woman for you first. Then it's up to you to choose, and we'll help you take a closer look, and the matter can be decided first. Get engaged first. Then set a wedding date, and wait until the second half of the year to officially get married. After all. It's not that you want to marry now, and there are all kinds of etiquette and preparations. By the second half of next year. The battle has already been fought, and what should be prepared is ready. ”
"I think our Princess Guangping's daughter Yuwen Yubo has a good character and appearance, and she is also old enough to match Sumeru when she is married. In addition, your aunt's cousin of Princess Xiangguo's family is also a very good one. In addition, Pei Shuying, the daughter of Pei Shiju, the waiter of the internal history, and Niu Hui, the daughter of Niu Hong, Taichangqing, are also good in character and appearance, and their age is also very suitable. In addition, there are many women of school age in many countries, and I am afraid that you will be dazzled. Dugu smiled.
The four people Dugu said were the most suitable in her heart, Yuwen Yubo and Wu Chouer were her nieces, and Yuwen Yubo was the daughter of Princess Guangping and Yuwen Jingli. Wu Chouer is the daughter of Princess Xiangguo and Li Changya, and the families of Ma Yuwen Jingli and Li Changya are also the top wealthy families of the Great Sui, such as Li Changya is the grandson of Li Bi of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Changya has a quite famous nephew, who is Li Mi, the leader of the Central Plains Anti-King Alliance in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but Li Mi at this time is only sixteen, and he inherited his father's Pushan County Duke not long ago, and he just hung up a post in the royal guard, serving as a personal guard, which can be regarded as an official official.
The other two Pei Shuying and Niu Hui mentioned by Queen Dugu, when it comes to their family background, they can only be regarded as medium in Beijing, and their fathers Pei Shiju and Niu Hong's official positions are only average, but the moral character of the two daughters is excellent, and they are even very talented, and they are very famous in Beijing. The queen even summoned the two in person, so she also brought them up at this time.
The cousin of my aunt's family, if this is already considered a close marriage in the later life, but at this time, it is considered a good thing to be close to each other. Yi Feng was against intermarriage between close relatives in his heart, as for the Pei family lady and the Niu family lady, he had not seen it, but he had heard of their father, not at this time, but in history. Historically, Pei Shiju and Niu Hong later became important ministers in the court, Niu Hong was about to be promoted to the secretary of the ministry, and Pei Shiju later became one of the most important people in Yang Guangchao. He didn't expect that these two people had such a good daughter, and even the queen remembered it.
However, Yi Feng really didn't have the heart to talk about this now, but he just squeaked and refused to express his position, so the queen laughed and stopped forcing him.
"Why don't you have to wait for Sumeru to see someone before talking about it, if you don't see anyone, no matter how nice you say, I guess this kid won't take a stand." Yang Jian laughed and said, "I have something urgent to do, you said, now that the Youzhou Grand Governor's Mansion has been separated from the Bingzhou Mansion and become the fifth largest Governor's Mansion of my Great Sui, I believe in your ability, and I will use you as the Great Governor of Youzhou." But you also know the current situation in Youzhou Mansion, Yan Rong has lost me and has been taken. And then Yan Rong fell, and the entire head of Youzhou Mansion basically had to be replaced, so to speak, Youzhou Mansion is a big purge this time, you are about to take office, what are your opinions on personnel? ”
"Yan Rong has already corrupted and become a poisonous pus, not only corrupting himself, but also corrupting the land of Youyan. I feel that Majesty Xià made a move at this time. Very extreme. If you let it go because the war is imminent, let it go. Instead, it becomes a danger that could erupt at any time. If the battle on the front line is in full swing, the rear is suddenly out of control. That's the big problem. Now I immediately squeezed this pustule, although it seems tricky at first glance, but once I broke it, there was no hidden danger. As soon as Yi Feng spoke, he immediately patted the emperor on the back before speaking. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Yan Rong's fall this time was not because of his local crimes, Yan Rong had not been in Youzhou for a day or two, but in Youzhou for eight years. In fact, the emperor knew about his domineering position a long time ago, otherwise he would not have given Yan Rong an edict at the beginning of Yuan Hongsi's tenure, saying that if Yuan Hongsi made a mistake of more than ten lashes, he would be the first to play such a thing. But the emperor didn't take Yan Rong sooner or later. At this time, he took it, and not only took Yan Rong, but also uprooted the entire northern part of Hebei at once, this matter is not as simple as it seems. In this era, there are a few officials who have really been impeached and examined, and they really need to be investigated, no matter whether they are guilty, but seven or eight out of ten can find out the evidence of the crime. The key is to look at the attitude of the superiors, the emperor uses you. No matter how corrupt you are, it's not a problem. But if the emperor hates you and wants to cure you, then you will be incorruptible. You can always find a problem.
The current situation of Yan Rong and the entire Youzhou Mansion is, to put it bluntly, the emperor's beating of Yang Guang to balance the situation. But he couldn't say these things directly to the emperor. Therefore, he just talked about the corruption of Yan Rong and his subordinates, and he would not be wrong anyway.
"Take down Yan Rong and his corrupt officials. It is imperative to replace a group of honest and diligent officials. However, for the personnel considerations of Youzhou Mansion. The grandson is not easy to speak, after all, the grandson was only in charge of Huai Wasteland before, and now although he is trusted by His Majesty to be promoted to the general manager of Youzhou, he is not familiar with the Zhuzhou Town of Youzhou Prefecture, and secondly, the grandson does not have any suitable candidates to recommend. ”
Yang Jian looked at his grandson with a smile, thinking that if he put forward this remark, King Zhao would seize this opportunity to recommend a group of candidates to himself, and take the opportunity to install people in Youzhou Mansion. But now King Zhao actually didn't do it, which surprised him greatly, and his heart was even more satisfied.
"Since you are already the general manager of Youzhou, the personnel of Youzhou Prefecture are also related to you. At this time, don't shirk, just say what you need to say. ”
Of course, Yang Lin also wanted to take the opportunity to insert people, but firstly, he really did not have suitable manpower, and secondly, he also knew that he was not suitable for large-scale interference arrangements at this time. However, he had already discussed with Wei Zheng and others, and he still had to fight for the place that should be fought for.
"The Youzhou Grand Governor's Mansion was newly established, and the land of the thirty-two states was governed, and the twenty-one states north of Yanshan were newly placed in the Mi Prefecture after the annexation of the Three Prefectures, so the grandson thought that for the thirty-two states, the imperial court should not interfere too much for the time being. The specific affairs can be handled and decided by the Sanfan tribes themselves, and the thirty-two prefectures are also the thirty-two major tribes of the Sanfan, each tribe governs a state, and tries to maintain a balance, and the imperial court can send some officials to serve as the chief of these prefectures or to join the army, etc., without interfering too much in their internal affairs, but as liaison officials sent by the imperial court, to strengthen the connection with these tribes, and also to provide them with some appropriate construction, enhance the influence of the imperial court on the tribes. ”
Yang Jian stroked his beard and nodded, "This strategy is good, although Sanfan has set up prefectures and counties, it is still only a place outside the world after all, and interfering too much with them will only backfire." Only a small number of officials were sent over as a good arrangement. I'm really glad you have this sober understanding. It seems that you have seen the affairs of Sanfan very clearly, and you have seen it quite a bit. Sanfan will do as you say, and what do you do about these eleven states in the south of Yanshan? ”
"The three governors' mansions of the Wufei camp have not been affected by the Yan Rong case this time, so the affairs of the three governors' mansions and the civil and military affairs of the prefectures, counties, towns and forts can not be adjusted for the time being, and maintain the stability of the three governors' mansions, which is also a great help for the current control of the entire Youzhou situation, which is conducive to the balance of the entire Youzhou Mansion and the impact of the Yan Rong case." Yi Feng said according to the thought he had in mind.
"Now that you have served as the governor of Youzhou, the original position of governor of Wuzhou is no longer suitable for concurrently, do you have a suitable person to elect and recommend you to take over?" Yang Jian asked.
Yi Feng's heart became excited, and he had been a little worried about this matter in his heart for the past two days, for fear that Yang Jian would suddenly appoint an irrelevant person to Wuzhou as the governor. Although he is confident that even so, he can still maintain control of Huaihuang, but in this way, it is always not so good. Now that Yang Jian asked this, it seemed that he didn't plan to meddle in Huaihuang's affairs, and reserved this piece of land for him.
However, who to hand over Wuzhou to, Yi Feng also had some difficulties in his heart. Wei Zheng and Xu Deyan are very trusted and relied on by him, but unfortunately these two people are not qualified, Gao Bo and Uncle Zhang have this ability and qualifications, but unfortunately they turned out to be the old ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and they have always followed Qianxue, and now Qianxue's position as his wife cannot be kept, and Yang Jian is unlikely to accept letting them be the governor of Wuzhou.
Who is recommended to the Son of Heaven to succeed the governor of Wuzhou? (To be continued......)
