Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 235 Tang Guogong

Xingyang.

In history, there are Dongguo, Chenggao, Sishui, Xingze, Wutai, Heyin, Guangwu and other names.

The area under its jurisdiction is east of Sishui Hulao Pass, north of Songshan Mountain, and south of the Yellow River.

In this vast area, there are fertile land, abundant products, outstanding people, and beautiful mountains and rivers. There are not only dangerous passes such as Xingyang Pass and Hulao Pass, but also famous mountains and rivers such as Guangwu Mountain and Honggou. It has a long history and splendid culture.

It has always been a battleground for military strategists.

There is a gully connecting Huaihe River and Sishui River in the east, Mangshan Mountain in the north and the Yellow River, Suohe River in the south and Songshan Mountain in the south, and Luoyang and Chang'an in the west through Hulao Pass. The terrain is dangerous and the transportation is convenient.

Especially after Emperor Daye built Luoyang, the eastern capital, Xingyang became the east gate of the eastern capital.

Chenggao, which was ruled by Xingyang, was Hulao.

Prefect's House.

Li Yuan, the prefect of Xingyang, was drinking tea. Standing beside him was a handsome man with a face like a crown of jade, with a scholarly spirit but a firm and persistent one.He wears a bright armor, a ring-headed horizontal knife around his waist, and holds a Zhangbama lance in his hand.

Standing there, he looked outstanding, handsome and unrestrained.

This Fengshen young man in his early twenties is Li Yuan's eldest son, Jian Jian, who has just been crowned an adult.

Li Yuan put down his teacup and said to the eldest son, "It's hunting again? Are you with the Zheng family's children? Even though you are married to the Zheng family, don't play around with them all day long."

Li Jiancheng just smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Father, I'm not fooling around with them. My father wants me to marry the daughter of the Zheng family. I know very well. The name of the Zheng family in Xingyang is helpful to our Li family. Especially when my father is an official in Xingyang, we need more help." With the help of these local snakes."

"Da Lang, you also have a lot of contact with the Zheng family's children, what do you think of the Zheng family in Xingyang?" Li Yuan asked.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said nothing. He stood beside his father. Although he had just grown up, he had an aura of his own. The eldest son of the mansion has worked hard for so many years to learn the momentum he has generated.

Many people say that five surnames and seven families are famous all over the world.It is said that the Zheng family of Xingyang is the first of the five surnames today and the leader of the Kanto.It is said that they are married all over the world, how to master academics, and how to have a great reputation in Kanto.

These ordinary people are naturally talking about it, but as the core of the top Guanlong nobles in Daxing City, the eldest son of Tang Guogong's mansion doesn't pay much attention to these things.

In any case, the five surnames and seven families in the Guandong are actually not as good as the Guanlong giants.For the Guanlong nobles who are in charge of the world, although they also need to win over the Guandong nobles, they just need to use their old fame and family reputation to make themselves better.

The Guanlong nobles created the three dynasties of Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and Sui. They are going to conquer the world immediately. In this world, who else can scare them with these false names.

If the five surnames and seven families were really so powerful, they would not just live in the countryside, but let them control the temple.

Li Yuan picked up a letter and shook his head.

He said with emotion, "Our marriage with the Zheng family is the one that cares most about the marriage, not us. Don't look at these so-called five surnames and seven families, who shout nicely, as if they look down on us Guanlong nobles, saying We nouveau riche, hahaha, even if their five surnames and seven families have hundreds of years of popularity, but going forward, they all have the same ordinary background? The so-called unwillingness to marry Guanlong is actually just a high-profile shout Just to raise your own value. Look at the present, if you really have the opportunity to marry us, they are actually eager to marry, just like your marriage with Mrs. Zheng, the Zheng family actually came to ask for it."

"Back when your aunt married the eldest son of the Wang family's family in Taiyuan, they also wanted to marry her wholeheartedly."

"Seven families with five surnames are now selling their concubines for marriage. Do you think there is anything they can't do?"

The so-called selling marriages is a relatively common phenomenon among the Kanto gentry nowadays. Since the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, the Kanto gentry were in a position of being suppressed. In order to maintain their family status, they began to marry everywhere, even at the expense of those side branches or concubines. Marry those officials with ordinary backgrounds, or even some wealthy businessmen, with a price tag, and ask the other party to pay a huge amount of family money.

The so-called accompaniment to the family means that they claim to be of a high family status, marrying a daughter to a family lower than their own, and asking them to make up their money. In fact, it is a disguised form of selling daughters, and the world calls it selling marriages.

Although the children of the direct line will not sell marriages, since they are all sold, then this is just the last shame leaf.

The marriage between the Li family and the Zheng family is just the icing on the cake. The Li family's eight-pillar country, Tang Guogong's mansion, or relatives of the emperor, the top family of Guanlong nobles, whether they are in contact with the Zheng family or not, will not change much.But for the Zheng family, being able to marry the Li family is a huge improvement and guarantee for their family status.

If Li Yuan hadn't come to Xingyang to be the prefect, he would never have considered marrying his son to the Zheng family.

"Back then, the East and the West were opposed, the Western Wei and the Eastern Wei, the Northern Zhou and the Northern Qi, how many gentry in the Guandong were hacked and killed by us Guanlong people, but now that the Emperor Daye has succeeded to the throne, the Yang family is afraid of supporting the Guanlong nobles of the three dynasties, so they are secretly suppressing us. And vigorously supported the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River and the gentry in the Kanto region."

"How long has it been since the unification of the world? Those old guys of the gentry, old and dead, seem to really not remember how our Guanlong nobles rose to the top, and they don't remember that we won by riding and shooting." The world, forget how cruel we were when we killed them."

"Now these people really think that they will marry us and even send a few women into the palace to become concubines. They think that they have regained the glory they had a hundred years ago."

The Guanlong nobles were mainly the military leaders of Wuchuan Town, and merged with the powerful noble families in Guanlong at that time, which created the prosperity of the subsequent dynasties.But a few decades ago, people like them would have been severely despised by the Kanto gentry.

So to this day, these gentry still feel that they are superior to others, and always regard the Guanlong nobles as nouveau riche, but in fact they despise them as nouveau riche in their hearts, but at the same time they want to kneel and lick to gain status.

It's that cheap.

The Zheng family was willing to lick Li Yuan, so naturally he was also willing.But if someone wants to use their Li family and use them as weapons, then they think too highly of themselves.

"Dalang, I'm going back to Beijing in a few days."

"Go back to Beijing Chaoji?"

"No, the emperor ordered me to return to Beijing to take up the post of Wei Weiqing."

Wei Weiqing, the chief official of Weiwei Temple, the chief official of Weiwei Temple, one of the five prisons and three platforms of the Nine Temples in the Sui Dynasty, is the third rank.Responsible for mastering the supply of ceremonial guards, curtain supply, weapon storage and other affairs, and managing the world's arsenal equipment.

Although the power is not heavy, but he is a Beijing official, or a regular official, who can often accompany the emperor and speak out.

"Shimin's eyes are still not healed, and the treatment effect of the eminent monk of Dahai Temple is not bad, why can't we take him back now?"

Li Yuan said, "I'm going back to Beijing, you stay, you stay and take care of Shimin, and when his eyes are healed, you bring him back to Beijing."
