Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 92
Li Yuan is 34 years old this year, three years older than Yang Guangda, and is Yang Guang's cousin and close cousin.

Yes, Yang Guang's eldest son Yang Zhao is 16 years old, but Yang Guang is only 31 years old.

Li Yuan's Tang Guogong is a noble title, and like Wei Yuancheng, he is honored by his ancestors.

His father, Li Yan, was already a general of the Zhu Kingdom in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the prince Shaobao. Li Yuan was the fourth eldest in his family, but because the first three brothers died early, he became a noble, and the current Xing (xing) Yang Prefect.

Xingyang is a county, and the prefect of Xingyang is equivalent to the secretary general of a prefecture-level city, while Li Jing's governor of Hedong County is equivalent to the governor of a prefecture-level city. The difference between the two seems to be only one level, but it is actually much worse.

The local administration of the Sui Dynasty was a three-level system of states, counties and counties. (In the early days of Yang Jian’s reign, there was a three-level system, and later it was changed to a two-level system for prefectures and counties. Yang Guang changed to a two-level system for prefectures and counties. The three-level system for prefectures, counties, and counties was uniformly used during Yang Jian’s period in this book)
The three levels of prefectures, counties and counties are divided into upper upper, upper middle, upper lower, middle upper, middle middle, middle lower, lower upper, lower middle, lower lower, etc.

Shangshangzhou, like Jizhou where Zhao Yu was located at the beginning, has a huge jurisdiction, similar to a province in later generations, and Xiazhou is like Xiongzhou where Yuwen Jingli is located, with only three counties in its jurisdiction.

Shangshang County, such as Jiangdu County, has jurisdiction over Huainan, Jiangbei, Zhenjiang, Danyang, and Jurong in Jiangsu Province, Tianchang, Quanjiao, and Chuzhou in Anhui Province, almost equivalent to a province.

For example, Yang Ming's Hedong County is Shangxia County, with ten counties under its jurisdiction, and Li Yuan's Xingyang County is Zhongshang County, with eight counties under its jurisdiction.

In the Sui Dynasty, the prefect of the county was directly appointed by the Ministry of Officials, but in fact it was recommended by the Ministry of Officials, and then decided by Yang Jian.

Li Yuan's current official position is not high, because he was used as a backup for Yang Jian earlier, and his good youth was wasted in the palace.

If you want to ask Li Yuan what was the most painful time in his life, it must be when he was a ox for Yang Jian.

Officials like Li Yuan who have been transferred from the top leader to the local government can be promoted at a speed similar to that of a rocket.

When Li Yuan returns to Beijing this time, as long as he can meet his aunt Dugu Jialuo, he will definitely be able to mention it.

After Yang Ming sat down, he honestly narrated what he saw and heard in Wei's mansion during the day, including secretly going to see Wei's appearance.

After Yang Guang and his wife listened, they all burst into laughter.

"The same is true for Wu'er. How could the queen mother match him with an ugly woman?" Yang Guang smiled and looked at Yang Ming: "This is built by the eldest son of Duke Guo of Tang. He will live in the mansion temporarily during this period. You and Zhao'er and Wu'er are going to marry him." It's nice to be close."

Then, Li Jiancheng, who was only 11 years old, stood up, greeted Yang Ming and said:
"Jiancheng met the elder brother of the Yang family."

Yang Ming hurriedly smiled and said, "My dear brother, don't be polite, just live in my yard."

"This will bother His Highness," Li Yuan said with a smile.

Yang Ming said, "No, no, no."

Li Yuan's mother, Dugu Shi, is the fourth daughter of Dugu Xin, and Dugu Jialuo is the seventh daughter, these are biological sisters.

Yang Guang and Li Yuan were both born in old Chang'an, so the pair of cousins ​​played together when they were young, and their relationship is very close, and there is no distinction between each other.

Because when their brothers were young, Yang Jian was still the governor of Otsuka in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and did not proclaim himself emperor. To Li Yuan, Yang Jian was his uncle.

But after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the gap between the two families suddenly widened. Over time, the cousins ​​also gradually used respectful titles, but in private, they were still the same as before, as if they were a family.

Yang Guang seemed to have other matters to discuss with Li Yuan, so Yang Ming took Jiancheng's little hand knowingly and left.

Yang Ming was one year older than Jiancheng, but half a head taller.

This kid has a thick head and a thick head, and a pair of big eyes are round and round, and he has been looking at the interior of the palace.

When he returned to Yang Ming's yard, the kid started to look at Chen Shuyi again, and he didn't shy away from looking up and down, and said directly:
"Brother Yang, can I let her warm my bed tonight?"

You're thinking about ass!
Yang Ming lightly kicked the other party's ass: "You don't learn well at a young age. If you sleep by yourself at night, there will be maids to serve you."

Li Jiancheng pouted, with a look of resentment on his face.

Yang Ming heard last year that Shimin's son was born, and he should be only two years old now. If he doesn't take advantage of this time to make decisions about these two brothers, he will have no chance in the future.

"Where's Shimin, still in Xingyang?" Yang Ming asked Nuan Dong and the others to prepare some food, then pinched Li Jiancheng's back and smiled.

Yang Jiancheng sat on a chair with his legs dangling in the air, nodded and said, "My younger brother has just learned to walk and is being taken care of by his mother in Xingyang."

Yang Ming asked again: "Where's your sister?"

"My sister is also in Xingyang," Li Jiancheng replied.

In the Sui Dynasty, the status of the eldest son was naturally higher than that of other brothers and sisters, so those who were generally led out to meet friends and guests were also the eldest sons, and they were regarded as key training objects.

In fact, Lao Yang's family has many similarities with Lao Li's family.

Yang Jian once boasted about Niubi, saying that his five sons were born of one mother, and he would never kill each other.

Li Yuan also bragged about the same bullshit, saying that his four sons Jiancheng, Shimin, Xuanba, and Yuanji were all brothers from the same mother, and there would be no problems.

As a result, brothers fight fiercely.

But there is one difference. Yang Jian has only five sons, while Li Yuan has 22 sons in history, but only four are descendants, and the rest cannot be compared with these four.

Yang Ming's courtyard was a triple courtyard, called Qingshan House, with twelve rooms. He placed Li Jiancheng in an empty house, assigned him two maids to serve him, and ate three meals a day with Yang Ming.

In fact, Li Yuan had a mansion in Daxing, but he didn't live there for a long time, and the dusty atmosphere became heavier, so Yang Guang let Li Yuan and his son live in the palace.

Although in history, the old Li family will rebel in the future, and successfully invaded Daxing, sitting in the Guanzhong area, and watching the Central Plains.

But it was only after the wars in the Sui Dynasty that the flag was raised for rebellion. If in this life, Yang Ming could be corrected in some places after his father came to power, and play some beneficial effects, maybe there would be no chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Ming watched Li Jiancheng climb the tree, then looked at the well in the garden, thinking that if Jiancheng accidentally fell into the well,
But soon, he abandoned the evil idea in his mind.

He is only 11 years old, he is still a child, and he has good values, how can he have such an idea?It should not be true.

If they really meet each other on the battlefield in the future, they will fight to the death in an upright manner. Relying on their familiarity with the direction of history, they will drown a child in advance?This is not something Yang Ming would do.

On this day, Chen Shuyi brought back a man named Zhou Zhongmou from outside.

This man is the son of Zhou Luohu, but he is a bastard. He is the same age as Comrade Yang Guang this year and is 31 years old.

The Sui Dynasty's war against Chen took place in the eighth year of Kaihuang, 12 years ago, and Zhou Zhongmou in front of him participated in the water battle that year. After Chen Shubao was captured, he and his father Zhou Luohu descended to the Sui Dynasty.

At that time, Zhou Luohu led the army to guard the waterways around the Baxia area, blocking Qin Wangjun's army from crossing the river. However, Jiankang was not strong enough, and He Ruobi and Han Qinhu directly copied his hometown. If he didn't surrender at that time, he must have been attacked by things. .

The general situation is gone, it is not the general's fault.

After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Zhou Luohu was recommended by Yang Guang to be the governor of Youzhou. Now his mother has passed away and he is in mourning at home.
