It took a long time for the funeral to end, and Daxi Mansion left all the officials and relatives of the officials who came to eat, as well as those officials and their families. Yi Feng comforted Xi Hao a few words, and he was also invited to the table. Because he is now the ninth king of the Great Sui and the fifth chief governor, although he is young, he is still arranged to the front seat, and it is the crown prince and other royal members who are sitting at the same table.

The five brothers of the crown prince, the king of Jin, the king of Qin, the king of Shu, the king of Han, plus the king of Henan, Yang Zhao, the king of Yuzhang, and him, these eight people are at a table. The Yang family and the sons of the emperor's four brothers inherited the king's title, but they were arranged at another table. This table is the emperor's five sons-in-law plus three grandsons, although the prince's family has eleven sons, but only Yi Feng is the son-in-law, so except for Yi Feng, the other sons are not arranged at this table.

As soon as Yi Feng saw this table, he was not interested. When it comes to relationships, those people at this table have the most noble status in the royal family, but when it comes to private relationships, Yi Feng is not familiar with the King of Shu, the King of Qin, the King of Henan, and the King of Yuzhang, and has a private relationship with the prince and the King of Han, but it is inconvenient to talk to Yang Guang. Therefore, sitting together, the atmosphere is awkward. Yi Feng couldn't help but think at this time, it seemed that the official who presided over the funeral was not very capable of doing things, otherwise he would not have arranged the seats like this.

At this time, the prince spoke: "Da Xigong is gone, but it is impossible for the governor of Jingzhou to remain vacant like this. Come to think of it, the father must be going to let the third child out of Jingzhou. ”

King Yang Jun shook his head. "The emperor's brother is now in a sinful body, and now he can occasionally go out of the house. is also full of His Majesty's grace, how dare you dare to go out of Jingzhou. ”

Yi Feng looked up at Yang Jun. The third son of the emperor is eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and big ears, wearing a black black gauze hat, a blue brocade robe, and a gold ribbon around his waist. But if you look at your face, you can see that your face was very good, but it was a little pale at this time. His eyes were even a little dim, his lips were a little blue, and he looked sick.

Yi Feng said in his heart, this King of Qin seems to be as recorded in the history books, and he should have been poisoned for a long time at this time.

As far as he knew, the third son of the emperor was deeply influenced by Buddhism when he was young, and his character was kind and loving, and he revered Buddhism. He even asked Yang Jian to let him become a monk, and later served as the governor of Qinzhou, Yangzhou, and Bingzhou. Henan Dao Daxing Tai Shang Shuling, General Youwuwei, etc., at the time of Ping Chen, served as the marshal of the Shanyang Road march, commanding 30 governors.

In the early days of Kaihuang. Yang Jun's reputation is still very good, which makes Yang Jian very happy. But later, Yang Jun gradually began to enjoy luxury. Violation of the system, money lending to collect interest. Overhaul of the palace, poverty and luxury, and other illegal things. This kind of behavior was completely contrary to the frugality that Yang Jian had always advocated in his early days, so he was repeatedly reprimanded by Yang Jian, but Yang Jun seemed to ignore it at all, so he was often sued by local officials before the emperor. It's just that he is still a woman like the crown prince, and he has accepted many concubines, which makes Queen Dugu, who has always been disgusted with this, also dislike this third son.

But he married a jealous wife Cui again, and Princess Cui was unwilling to Yang Jun to favor Concubine Ji and snub herself, so she poisoned his melon. After Yang Jun was poisoned, the emperor only thought that he was overly drunk, so he simply transferred him back to Beijing, removed him from his official position, and only retained the identity of a Qin king and returned to the palace and thought about it behind closed doors.

In Yi Feng's opinion, Yang Jun was still a very simple teenager at the beginning, but he was crowned king when he was a teenager, and then he was transferred to a local town. Lacking good teaching all year round, it is easy to be influenced by bad influences, and gradually like luxury and enjoyment, and like women. This is not a natural bad character, this is just the same as many rich second-generation officials. In the final analysis, this is still the problem of Yang Jian and his wife. Not to mention that King Qin has been guarding various places since he was a teenager, lacking the guidance of his parents. Let's just say that the crown prince and the king of Han have always stayed by the emperor and queen in Beijing, but in the end, they have not become the same as the king of Qin. This is also a person who lacks self-control, and as a result, he met a terrible princess.

This Princess Cui is indeed a very powerful woman, just because her husband spoiled her concubine, she dared to directly poison and murder her husband, which is really amazing. Princess Cui is the younger sister of the governor Cui Hongdu and Cui Hongsheng, the two elder brothers are both general managers, her grandfather was the secretary of the three princes of the Wei Dynasty, and her father was also the assassin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The daughter of Princess Cui's brother Cui Hongsheng also married Yang Zhao, the eldest son of King Jin of Jin, as a concubine. The Cui family has two heads and two princesses, and they can be regarded as quite good disciples. However, there was a fierce woman like Princess Qin, which was also unlucky for Yang Jun.

It stands to reason that as soon as Da Xi Changru dies, the governor of Jingzhou will naturally not be vacant forever. The most suitable candidate, of course, is the clan to sit in charge. Yang Jun, the king of Qin, is the most suitable candidate at present, but he is still hated by the Empress of Heaven at this time, so it is difficult for Yang Jun to take this position. As for the other clans, Yi Feng felt that there was basically no chance. Looking at Yang Jian's character, he trusts his son the most, then his cousins, and the least trusting is his own brother. Now his brothers died early, and those who were killed by him were killed, and the four brothers are gone. The brothers don't trust it, and the sons of the brothers certainly don't trust it either. And those cousins and cousins' sons are certainly not as trusting as their own grandchildren. Therefore, Yi Feng quickly understood the intention of the prince's words just now, he didn't really think that Yang Jun could take over the important position of governor of Jingzhou. But it has another meaning, as for his purpose, Yi Feng doesn't think it's difficult to guess. It is nothing more than wanting to take this opportunity to install his own people in the position of the governor of Jingzhou.

As for the candidate he wants to promote, he estimates that it is very likely to be his son. Among the ten sons, the biggest one is probably Yang Yan, the king of Changning.

"The third child said the same thing, the father and the queen mother have not completely eliminated their anger towards you until now. You too, a dignified prince, don't be so high and low when you sit in the place. You are building a palace in violation of the system, a Na'vi, and a usury. The officials and people in the places where you provoked have come to sue you, and even your princess has repeatedly sued you to the queen mother. You said it was done. It's better not to go out for the time being, and stay in Beijing for a few years with peace of mind. Recuperate and recuperate. Look at the way you look now, so haggard, it's not okay. Raise your body well, and after two years, when the father and mother will be angry, and at that time, it will not be too late to go out again. Yang Yong said to Yang Jun in the tone of an eldest brother.

"If the third brother can't be the governor of Jingzhou, then who is suitable for this important responsibility?" Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, said with a smile. "What do you think of the King of the River?"

Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, was the emperor's cousin and won the emperor's trust. He is one of the very few people in the clan who is both capable and trusted by the emperor, and can even be regarded as the only one. When Yang Jian usurped the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Hong has always been Yang Jian's confidant, and he has made great contributions to his birth and death. Yang Hong is now the king of Hejian, and he is honored with the pillar country. In recent years, he has been holding the position of Puzhou Thorn History. Puzhou is very important, it is the most important passage between Guanzhong and Hedong, guarding the Pujin Bridge. It can be said that this king of Hejian has been guarding the east gate of the imperial court for the imperial court.

Yang Guang said on the side: "The king of the river can't do it. His Majesty has appointed the King of Hejian to act as the governor of Yangzhou during the Northern Expedition of my army. "This is an expected appointment, for years to come. Every time Yang Guang left Yangzhou and entered Beijing for a few months, the emperor would first appoint Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, to go to Yangzhou to act as the governor of Yangzhou. Then let Yang Guang enter Beijing with confidence. This time, Yang Guang served as the commander of the Northern Expedition, and leaving Yangzhou was not a matter of one or two days. Jiangnan is an important territory of the imperial court, and it is also the latest to recover a piece of territory, and there was a rebellion in Jiangnan a few years ago, so the imperial court is quite cautious about the Jiangnan region. Even if Yang Guang, the chief manager, leaves for a short time, he must first arrange for a Murozong County King to act as the chief manager. Now that Yang Guang is going north to lead the troops, the imperial court will not relax. Long before Yang Guang entered Beijing, Yang Hong had already gone to Yangzhou to take over the position of chief manager and temporarily take charge of Yangzhou. Now Yang Guang is the commander of the Northern Expedition, and the Son of Heaven directly sent an edict to Yang Hong to Yangzhou, asking him to continue to act as an agent for Yangzhou affairs.

"If the King of the River is not good, then there is no more suitable candidate. Among the clans, only King Qingzhang is suitable, but King Qingzhang is now Zong Zhengqing, and he is inseparable from him. Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, said with a smile. In fact, everyone also knows that Yang Xiong, the king of Qingzhang, is the only one in the clan who can be compared with the ability of the king of Hejian, but although the king of Qingzhang is outstanding, he cannot be the same as the king of Hejian in terms of trust. No matter what, the emperor could not let this king of Qingzhang take such an important position as the governor of Jingzhou.

"I think there are actually a lot of people available in the clan." Han King Yang Liang smiled at this time: "Look at our King Zhao, at such an age, isn't it already knighted King Zhao, the official and the general manager of Youzhou." I think that such an important task as the governor of Jingzhou can be awarded to an excellent clan like King Zhao. There are no suitable princes and nephews, and there are also royal grandchildren. There are many outstanding talents in our royal family's generation of emperors and grandchildren, and there is not only King Zhao. ”

"Aren't there two more here, the King of Henan and the King of Yuzhang are both good." Yang Xiu smiled while holding up the wine glass.

Yang Yong's face changed, and today he provoked this, in fact, he wanted his son Yang Yan to be the governor of Jingzhou. For this reason, he had an official discussion with the King of Han in advance, and gave the King of Han a lot of conditions to let him support him. Just now, the King of Han and him were singing and drinking, but who would have expected that the King of Shu would come to intervene at this time.

He didn't care about his face at the moment, and hurriedly said: "The King of Henan and the King of Yuzhang just granted His Majesty a few days ago, one served as the internal history order and the other served as the general of Zuo Wuwei, which is no longer suitable to go out of Beijing to sit in Jingxiang." ”

"That's true, King Zhao, King Henan, and King Yuzhang all have heavy responsibilities, but there are also suitable candidates, I think the conditions of King Changning are good, he has always been the eldest grandson of the royal family in the past. Even if King Zhao returns now, King Changning is still excellent. ”

Yi Feng smiled slightly at this time, "Isn't it up to the three provinces and His Majesty to decide on such a major matter of the imperial court as who should be appointed as the governor of Jingzhou?" Why, did His Majesty hand over this important task to the crown prince and the king of Han? ”

Yang Yong and Yang Liang were stunned for a moment and were speechless. If Yi Feng didn't say this, then it would be nothing for them to talk about it like this, but since Yi Feng said this sentence, it would be quite inappropriate for them to continue to say it like this. Yang Yong closed his mouth unwillingly, squinting at Yi Feng, but Yi Feng completely ignored it, and just picked up the wine glass and drank it himself.

The atmosphere at the table became awkward again for a while, and Yang Yong sat there and drank two glasses of wine, and finally threw off his sleeves and left. Yang Liang, Yang Xiu and others also left the table, and on this occasion, Yi Feng and Yang Guang father and son didn't say much. The last one to get up was Yang Jun, who took Yi Feng's hand and said, "I finally came out for a trip, but I didn't expect it to be so disappointing." ”

Yi Feng smiled: "If the third uncle wants to drink, tomorrow I will set up a few tables of banquets in my house to invite some relatives and friends, and then I will send a car to pick you up at the house." ”

"Good, good." Yang Jun shouted three good words in a row. He is also annoyed to stay in the house, and having the opportunity to come out to drink and chat also makes his heart much more comfortable.

"Third Uncle doesn't seem to be in good health." Yi Feng pretended to say casually.

"It's been a long time, and the illness that occurred before returning to Beijing the year before last didn't get better, and I asked a lot of doctors to take a lot of medicine, but it didn't get better." Yang Jun sighed.

"Oh, I know a doctor, not a famous doctor, but a traveling doctor who runs the rivers and lakes, but there are many home remedies that specialize in treating some incurable diseases. When the third uncle comes to my house tomorrow, I will ask him to diagnose the third uncle, maybe he can find the root of the disease and eradicate it at once. ”

"Oh, if that's the case, you can give it a try, anyway, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor." Yang Jun didn't pay too much attention to it, and replied casually.

While talking, the two also said goodbye to the people in Daxi's mansion, and then parted in front of the mansion, and each got into his own carriage and left.

Sitting in the carriage, Yi Feng closed his eyes and pondered. What happened at the table today made him believe that Yang Yong had plans to let Yang Yan, the king of Changning, be the governor of Jingzhou, and even the king of Han supported it, and they must have reached some temporary cooperation. Yi Feng didn't want to see this result, the position of the governor of Jingzhou was very important, and the Son of Heaven might not necessarily agree to the prince's suggestion, but he didn't want to take this risk. The best way to stop this is to introduce Yang Jun, the king of Qin, as the governor of Jingzhou. And in order to achieve this goal, the poison of King Qin must first be cured. (To be continued......)
