Chapter 555: The Young King (Third Update)
Chapter 555: The Young King
On August 19, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the good news of the border pass came, and the entire Bianliang City fell into a carnival.
The Yang family in Tianbo Mansion is naturally no exception, but the Yang family is full of filial piety clothes and kneeling in front of the ancestral hall.
This is to comfort the Yin Spirit under Yang Invincible Nine Springs.
After the worship was over, at about 9 o'clock in the morning, guests began to come to the door.
At the beginning, the Jiangmen family sent the wife in charge to come, and between the words, it was natural that they wanted to get married.
The Yang family is all women, those widows can't be counted, Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei are all as beautiful as flowers, marry one and go home, this is the best thing.
If you can marry your own daughter to General Xiao Yang, you can simply kill these women.
It's a pity that before Yang Zongbao accompanied his father to leave, he once said that within three years, he would recover the sixteen states of Youyun and then return.
Now that it has not been three years, or even a year, Yang Zongbao is going to fulfill his promise before leaving.
If Yang Zongbao's promise comes true, then the Yang family will not be the current Tianbo Mansion, but the royal mansion.
I don't know how many times more regulations are than they are now.
The value of his own family is bullish, how can the Yang family be willing to marry others easily.
As a result, neither the old lady, nor the Cheshire lord, nor even Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei agreed to any marriage.
Even if they don't agree to the marriage, there is still an endless stream of people who come to visit.
From the morning until the evening, the whole Tianbo Mansion is lit up.
There is no way, the border passes are reported one after another, and everyone knows that Tianbo Mansion is definitely going to ascend to heaven this time!
On this occasion, Zhao Guangyi also joined in and sent his son Zhao Heng, a chubby little fat man, to worship Yang Invincible's spiritual position.
At the beginning, Zhao Guangyi was not on the throne.
The sound of the candle shadow axe.
There is a suspicion of 'killing his brother and usurping the throne', and when he became the emperor, he set up the son of his eldest brother Zhao Kuangyin as the crown prince.
As a result, after the prince was scolded by Zhao Guangyi a few years ago, he committed suicide when he returned to the East Palace Prince's Mansion.
In this way, Zhao Guangyi's suspicion of usurping the throne and infamy are even more sufficient.
It is indispensable to write a note in the history books.
Zhao Guangyi was dying of old age, knowing that he would not live for many years, and now that Yang Zongbao could recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, his reputation was no longer hindered.
But passing on this position to the eldest brother's son or to his son has become a difficult problem.
According to Zhao Guangyi's idea, it was naturally passed on to his son.
Zhao Guangyi sent his son Zhao Heng to worship the spiritual position of Yang Lao Linggong, the main purpose was to win over Yang Zongbao, who was far away at the border, so as to increase and push his son's ascendancy.
Zhao Heng has a slightly cowardly personality, obeys his father's words, and never discounts them.
Now that he was instructed by Zhao Guangyi, he remembered the mission he came to and came to the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, in front of the ancestral hall, with a poof, he knelt down heavily, and the three rings directly knocked his forehead red.
The Yang family can't stop it if they want to.
"King Xiang, this can't be helped!"
She Lao Taijun is old and refined, and she naturally knows Zhao Heng's intentions, but she is helpless, after all, Zhao Heng is a gentleman, and the Yang family is a minister.
As a courtier, you must be loyal to the king.
This is the old saying, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.
Now Zhao Heng has come to woo the Yang family, and the Yang family, as a family of military generals, can't resist anything except obediently.
To resist is to rebel with the intention of rebellion.
What's more, Yang Zongbao's mother is the Lord of Cheshire, and the Lord of Cheshire is the princess of the former Zhou, that is to say, Yang Zongbao has the royal blood of the previous dynasty.
How dare Mrs. She refuse Zhao Heng's wooing.
Fortunately, Zhao Heng had a cowardly personality, and after finishing the tricks his father taught him, he took his leave and left.
Zhao Heng was able to leave so quickly, in addition to not knowing how to continue to woo, in addition, he suddenly saw a beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a fairy, and his heart rippled, so he hurriedly returned to the palace and proposed to his father the idea of marrying the daughter of the Yang family.
"I'm smart!"
Zhao Guangyi was also thinking about how to win over the Yang family after the great joy, first of all, it was certain that the king would be crowned, but after the king, the Yang family was shelved in the cabinet, and the back end was respected, or as a big killer of the Great Song Dynasty, by the way, Tubo, Western Xia Dali and other countries were wiped out.
Now that Zhao Heng came back and said that he wanted to marry the daughter of the Yang family, Zhao Guangyi was immediately overjoyed.
Relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics, this is an iron law set by Zhao Kuangyin of the Great Song Dynasty.
Didn't those civil officials think about how to contain the Yang family?
When the time comes, as long as you push my son to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and my son Zhao Heng marries the daughter of the Yang family, the Yang family will avoid suspicion and will not be able to participate in political affairs in the future.
In this way, it will not only win over the Yang family, but also push my son to the throne by the way, and when my son ascends the throne, it can also squeeze the Yang family's forces out of the court army.
Kill two birds with one stone!
It's wonderful!
Not mentioning that Zhao Guangyi's father and son were ready to reward the Yang family, it was only said that Yang Zongbao took the army and went all the way to Yuguan, and then stopped.
Yuguan is also the later Shanhaiguan, which is Yiyan Mountain, south of the Bohai Sea, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.
Although the terrain of this Yuguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but because the Liao people put a large number of troops in the south, there are only 20,000 troops and horses in this Yuguan.
In the face of Yang Zongbao's imposing Mandarin Duck Army, he was defeated in a battle, and then fled backwards, giving up the Shanhaiguan standing on the mountain gate to Yang Zongbao.
After winning the Shanhaiguan, Yang Zongbao had to stop.
It's not that he doesn't want to move on, it's that the defense is in a hurry.
Yang Yanzhao and Li Jixuan only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if Yang Zongbao attracted dozens of cottage people to support the Song army, but the Khitan people were not small.
Nowadays, a large number of forbidden troops have been stationed in various city defenses to avoid the loss of the homeland that has just been obtained.
This is also the trouble caused by Yang Zongbao's march too fast.
Unable to continue the march, Yang Zongbao had no choice but to take Mu Guiying to guard the Shanhaiguan Pass and wait for the imperial court to issue a decree.
It didn't take long for the first gold medal edict of the imperial court to come, but the official envoy arrived in Zhuozhou and could not find Yang Zongbao.
Then the second official envoy went to Yanzhou with the second gold medal, but Yang Zongbao still couldn't be found.
The third official envoy finally found Yang Zongbao with the gold medal, but instead of letting him return to Beijing, he asked him to continue to garrison, and when the Great Song Dynasty had absorbed the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, he would be rewarded again.
As a result, Yang Zongbao was temporarily appointed as the official envoy of Yanzhou Festival, and led the army to garrison Yuguan.
After another month, at the end of September, the cold wind was blowing, and the imperial court finally took back all the sixteen states of Youyun, and all the generals who participated in the recovery of the lost territory were crowned kings.
The Yang family of Tianbo Mansion is even more remarkable, a double king.
One difference is that everyone else is the king of the county, for example, Cao Bin is the king of Jiyang County, Li Jixuan is the king of Langya County, Hu Yanzan is the king of the backing county, etc.
And Yang Yanzhao was the king of Baoding, and his fief was Baozhou.
Yang Zongbao was the king of loyalty and righteousness, and there was no fief.
As the biggest hero, there is no fiefdom.
Yang Zongbao didn't say anything, and neither did the others, because everyone knew that it was because the imperial court was preparing for Yang Zongbao to inherit Yang Yanzhao's fief in the future.
After all, a double king is already powerful enough, and if they are all real power fiefdom kings again, it will be amazing.
The father and son didn't know that there was a big event waiting for them in Tokyo.
