Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 8 Lanling Xiao Clan
The palace quickly returned to normal. The wall that Guo Yilang knocked Pang Ben to pieces was also repaired by the craftsmen day and night, without any signs of damage.

Yuwen female thief, oh no, it should be called Chen Shuyi. She was sent to the court lady training center, Yeting Palace, and received ten days of training. After the training, she could come to Yuehua Palace to work.

By that time, she will be a qualified female official, nominally under the jurisdiction of the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in fact she is similar to a court lady, serving others.

In Daxing Palace, except for those surnamed Yang and those who are related to Yang, everyone else is serving people.

The reason why Chen Shuyi's life was left after Dugu was of course because of her special background.

This point was explained to Yang Ming in great detail by Queen Dugu that night.

Want to know how special Chen Shuyi is?It started nine years ago.

In the twelfth lunar month of the eighth year of Emperor Kaihuang, three armies of the Sui Dynasty crossed the river. On January [-] of the following year, the Chen Dynasty fell, and the battle between Sui and Chen lasted only two months.

The land area of ​​the Chen Dynasty at that time was equivalent to Soochow in the Three Kingdoms period. The territory was not small, but it was very vulnerable.

The reason is that Chen Shubao, also the famous Empress Chen in history, accounted for more than half of the credit.

But in the tenth year of Kaihuang, that is, just one year after Sui Miechen,
Due to Yang Jian's excessive suppression of the Jiangnan gentry group over the past year, various anti-kings rose up in the former Chen Dynasty, and most of these rebels were supported and manipulated by the Jiangnan gentry group.

At this time, two big men, one literary and one military, emerged.

Wu's is the current Shangshu Youpushe, Yang Su, the second-in-command among the officials, who led the army to suppress the rebellion, and quickly wiped out all the rebels.
But this is not a long-term solution. After all, the Jiangnan gentry group is still there, and they are still holding back their bad intentions in private, and they can pull out a few more puppets to rebel at any time.

Until his father Yang Guang was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou to sit in Jiangdu, in just one year, he appeased the entire Jiangnan gentry.

Why does Dad have this ability?
The big reason is Yang Ming's own mother, Princess Xiao of Jin.

The Xiao family was born in the Xiao family of Lanling. Lanling Xiao was a top clan in the entire history of China. Until now, many people with the surname Xiao in the south have descended from this branch, including those with the surname Xiao. Yu Xiao.

Concubine Xiao is a direct descendant of Emperor Wu of Liang, and the Liang Dynasty was before the Chen Dynasty, and had a wider territory, covering almost the entire area south of the Yangtze River.

In other words, Concubine Xiao is also a subjugated princess.

As the son of a subjugated princess, Yang Ming spoke for Chen Shuyi that night, which actually made sense in the eyes of Duguhou.

The Xiao family has great influence in Jiangnan, and it is precisely because of this relationship that Dad can calm down the entire Jiangnan in a short period of time with the policy of gentleness.

And Chen Shuyi, as the subjugated princess of the Chen Dynasty, also has great influence in Jiangnan. Although the Empress Chen was captured by Yang Jian to Daxing, the Chen family's basic position in Jiangnan is still there.

Chen Shuyi's mother is called Shen Wuhua, who is the granddaughter of Chen Baxian, the founding monarch of the Chen Dynasty, and Chen Shubao is the son of Chen Baxian's nephew, Chen Xuandi Chen Xu, so the combination of the two is basically incest.

Here comes the important point, Chen Shubao's mother is Liu Jingyan, the granddaughter of Liang Wudi Xiao Yan, the founding monarch of the Liang Dynasty, and Yang Ming's mother, Xiao Shi, is the great-great-granddaughter of Liang Wu Emperor Xiao Yan.

Did you see it?Yang Ming and Chen Shuyi still have some thin blood relationship.

Among the Jiangnan gentry groups, there are various marriages and intricate relationships. They usually fight against each other, but they are very united when facing the northern Guanlong group.

So Chen Shuyi can't be killed, she can be asked to do anything, but she can't be killed.

This is related to the little self-esteem left after the entire Jiangnan gentry group has been suppressed by the Guanlong Group for many years.

It's very complicated to say, in short, father Yang Guang is now the spokesperson of the entire Jiangnan clan, and he likes Jiangnan very much,
Even his accent has changed, and he speaks authentic Wu Nong's soft language. The last time we met, it was very difficult for Yang Ming to communicate with him.

Can you imagine what it feels like for Yang Guang to say "obediently and loudly"?

That's why Dugu Empress kept Chen Shuyi by Yang Ming's side, because the imperial court needed Jiangnan, Jiangnan needed appeasement, appeasement needed Yang Guang, and Yang Ming was Yang Guang's best friend.

In the early morning of this day, Nanny Lou came again, saying that Empress Dugu had summoned her.

In fact, even if Nanny Lou didn't come, Yang Ming would still go to Yong'an Palace to pay his respects, but this time, he would also go to Yong'an Palace for breakfast.

The grandparents and grandchildren ate thick porridge and a few stacks of pickles, watching the seven or eight eunuchs and maids busy in the hall, spreading a complete picture of the Sui Dynasty in the center of the hall.

Yang Ming instantly understood what was going on.

This is to pick a fief for yourself.

Sure enough, Empress Dugu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and immediately a maid handed over a tray with a ruler on it.

The ruler is of course one foot long, about 30 centimeters.

Well, Empress Dugu really loves him. A few years ago, Yang Yong's eldest son, Yang Yan, was granted the title of King of Changning.

Dugu Jialuo treats them differently in this way, the one who is born is the one who is born, and the one who is concubine is a puppy.

Empress Dugu handed the ruler to Yang Ming, and said with a smile, "Go and see for yourself, try to stay as close to grandma as possible, so that it will be convenient for Daxing to visit me and your grandfather."

Um?Didn't they just pick them at random?Why can I only get closer?
To be honest, Yang Ming also wanted to go to the south, because most of the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty took place in the north. Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, Wang Bo, and Wagangzhai all fought in the north.

In the south at that time, there was a big rebel leader named Xiao Xian, who was also from the Xiao family in Lanling, so he had to call his mother-in-law Auntie. From the perspective of this relationship, it should be fine for him to stay there.

Until now, Yang Ming never thought that he could change history, because he was just a prince.

Don't take the prince too seriously, he can't influence anything.

Yang Guang has three sons, the eldest son Yang Zhao, the second son Yang Hao (lan), and the third son Yang Ming. It is not his turn to be the successor in terms of seniority.

The two of them have been with their parents all the time, and Yang Ming's close relationship is not dominant here.

What's more, there is no need to take over, as the father's generation will end the disaster of the Sui Dynasty.

Not to mention trying to change Yang Guang, a guy who hangs four doors in a semester and sits dozing off in the leisure area in the back three rows all the year round. Want to change a tyrant who is as famous as Xia Jie and Shang Zhou in history, you Isn't it a dream?

Yang Ming took the ruler, took off his boots, stepped on the map, and went straight to the location of Daxing, the capital, and squatted down.

He is familiar with this map, isn't it the ancient Chinese map?

Isn't Daxing City the future Tang Dynasty capital Chang'an, China's Xi'an?

The city walls of Xi'an people are the trains of Xi'an people. That's what they said.

Daxing City, the name sounds really earthy.

In June of the second year of Emperor Kaihuang, Yang Jian built a new capital in the south of the former Han Chang'an site, and named it Daxing, because Yang Jian's first title when he was young was called Daxing County Duke.

The reason why the Great Sui was called the Great Sui was because Yang Jian's father, Yang Zhong, was granted the title of Sui Guogong during the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

The name of the capital and the title of the country all carry Yang Jian's distinctive personal characteristics.

From this point, it can be seen that Yang Jian is a very egotistical and domineering figure.

The topic is far away, which one should I choose?Yang Ming took Daxing City as the center to radiate the surrounding area, and began to choose his fiefdom.

First of all, you cannot leave the Guanzhong Plain.

In ancient times, everything was fine, except water and food.

The Guanzhong Plain has fertile land, convenient transportation, surrounded by dangerous mountains and rivers,
The Wei River traverses the entire Guanzhong Plain from west to east. The main stream and its tributaries, the Jing River and the Beiluo River, irrigate the fields on both banks, and mainly produce wheat and copper mines.

To the north of the Guanzhong Plain is the Loess Plateau. At this time, the Loess Plateau was still a fertile land thousands of miles away, but Yang Ming didn't want to choose it because it was too close to the Turks.

To the west is the Hexi Corridor, let alone the choice, the chaos is too dangerous.

To the south is Sichuan, the road is not easy to walk and it is too far away, and it is still the territory of Yang Laosi, the fourth king of Shu, Yang Xiu.

east?Just kidding, Henan is the main battlefield of the Chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and even if you are killed, you can't go there.

After looking carefully for a while, Yang Ming's eyes lit up.

Have it.

Hedong County, which is the Yuncheng City of China, is Yongji City. Daxing goes east and crosses the Yellow River to be Hedong County. The distance between the two places is less than [-] kilometers.

Have you seen the Lion's Roar?The heroine, the Liu family, was born in the local wealthy Hedong Liu family, and Liu Zongyuan was also from the Hedong Liu family.

Is this close enough?It is located in the northeast of the Guanzhong Plain, and it is close to the Yellow River. It is a good place.

And Yang Ming knew that in history, Li Yuan, the grandson of the turtle, used this route to attack Daxing at the beginning. After fighting for a long time, he couldn't defeat Hedong County, so he detoured to attack Daxing in the direction of Hukou.

If he is sealed here, he will inevitably have to fight Shimin's children in the future?

This is so special!

After being silent for a long time, Yang Ming gritted his teeth and said, fuck it, this is it!
