Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 578
Although Luo Cheng is young, some things are still clear.

How can a side general like him intervene in such a matter as establishing a prince?Regardless of whether the emperor's words were sincere inquiries or temptations, he could not accept them.

The emperor establishes the crown prince, the prime minister can talk about this kind of thing, the elders can talk about it, but he, a general who has just been appointed as the military governor of the Zhongwu Army, can't talk about it.

"Hey, since you don't want to say it, forget it."

Yang Guang sighed.

He really wasn't trying to test Luo Cheng just now, but seeing Luo Cheng's body covered in scars, he felt that this man was loyal to the king, so he wanted to ask his opinion on this private occasion.But after seeing Ru Cheng being so steady, he regretted that he was too casual.

Luo Cheng really shouldn't be asked about such important matters.

But on the other hand, he also felt that Luo Cheng was really good, and he didn't rely on his favor and achievements to point fingers at such a big matter and express his opinion casually.Luo Cheng is very mature, which is a good thing.

"Prince Yuande was called the first emperor in the past, and I always thought that I would pass on the great cause to him in the future. Unexpectedly, the sky is jealous of talents, but let him go before me. After he leaves, I plan to cultivate him well." The King of Xia Qi uprooted tens of thousands of people from Yuan Zhao's old tribe, but what did he do?"

Yang Guang sighed repeatedly.

When Yang Zhao died, although he left behind a few children, they were all too young, so the position of prince should naturally be passed on to his second son, Yang Hao, but this king of Qi was too hopeless.

After the crown prince died of illness in the second year of Daye, Yang Guang was granted the title of Inspector of Yuzhou, king of Qi. In the third year of Daye, he was transferred to the three divisions of Yongzhou Inspector, Henan Yin, and Kaifu Yitong.

He also handed over all the prince's subordinates to him, but he is very arrogant and indulgent, close to villains, and often sends his subordinates to seek sensual dogs and horses.Princess Leping once wanted to present a beauty named Liu to the emperor, but Yang Hao snatched her into the mansion.

Yang Hao's concubine died early, but Yang Hao had an affair with the deceased concubine's widowed sister and gave birth to a son.What annoyed Yang Guang the most was that Yang Hao invited a fortune teller to the mansion to look for her and the child, but the fortune teller said that she would be the queen, and that the child would become a prince in the future.

Yang Hao then became more and more convinced that his destiny belonged to him, so he became more and more reckless.

Yuande Prince Yang Zhao left behind three sons, he regarded them as obstacles, and secretly used the technique of disgusting victory to get rid of them.

After the incident was revealed, Yang Guang was furious and gave Yuan's wife to death. Since then, his favor towards Yang Hao has also decreased day by day, and he never mentioned the matter of making Yang Hao the prince.

Over the years, he has always taken Yang Wei by his side, wherever he goes.

But this is not a favor, but a worry about surveillance.

Yang Zhao's three grandsons, the eldest grandson Yang Tan, was named the King of Yan by Yang Guang. They have been with him all these years, but they have taught him carefully and loved him very much.

The other two grandsons were enfeoffed as King of Yue and King of Dai respectively. Yang Yu, king of Yue, stayed in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Yang You, king of Dai, stayed in Daxing, Xijing.

In fact, the emperor had always wanted to establish King Yan as the grandson of the emperor, but he was still a little hesitant.But after all, King Yan is only 12 years old. On the other hand, although King Yan is the eldest son of Yang Zhao, he is not a direct descendant.

When Yang Zhao was the king of Henan, the concubine was the daughter of Cui Hongsheng, Cui Hongdu's younger brother. Later, she was abolished because of Cui's treason case.Then marry the daughter of Wei Shou, the son of the famous commander Wei Xiaokuan, as the concubine, and she will be the next generation Wang You.

King Yan was born to Yang Zhao's concubine Liu Liangdi, and another concubine Liu Liangdi gave birth to Yue Wang Dong.

If Yang Tan was the legitimate son of Concubine Wei, Yang Guang would not have such hesitation.

Yang Tan's three grandsons are the most virtuous and the most intelligent, but they are the elders, while Wang You, the direct grandson, is not so intelligent.

If instead of setting up the second son, Qi Wang Yang Hao, instead of setting up the concubine's eldest grandson, Yan Wang Tan, this matter would not fit well with the patriarchal clan.

After all, if one establishes a descendant and the crown prince dies, then one should establish a second son or eldest grandson. There is no reason to establish a second son or eldest grandson but to have an eldest grandson.

According to the patriarchal system, after the death of Prince Yuande Yang Zhao, the first successor should be the grandson Wang Yang You, and then the eldest grandson Yang Tan. As for Yang Hao, although his elder brother died, he could inherit the patriarchal line The order is automatically in the hands of his sons, unless he has no sons.

No matter what the emperor said, Luo Cheng kept his mouth shut anyway.

Although in his opinion, if the position of the crown prince is not to be disputed, naturally he can only establish the acting king Yang You, who is his grandson.King Yan is just the eldest grandson of a concubine, so he is completely unqualified to establish him.Even if Dai Wang Yang You is a fool, it may not be his turn.

But it wasn't his turn to say that.

But this problem has troubled Yang Guang for eight years.

The position of the crown prince of the empire has been vacant for eight years.

Yang Zhao had three youngest sons back then, the eldest is 12 years old now, and the youngest is ten years old.

"King Qi is not stupid, he is a smart man. It's a pity that he was not taught well before and was spoiled by the treacherous men around him. In recent years, I have always taken him by my side, whether it is the west tour, the north tour or the east expedition. It seems that I have grown a bit, and I have repented a lot."

Yang Guang looked at Luo Cheng.

"Although you are young, you know how to advance and retreat, and know your duty. This is very good. If King Qi is half as good as you, I will not let him fall to where he is now."

"I'm getting old, and within a year or two, I will definitely have a crown prince, either on behalf of Wang You or Yan Wang Tan, but it is absolutely impossible to be Qi Wang Yu. Whether it is Yang You or Yang Yan who will be the crown prince in the future, I have nothing to worry about. The one who worries the most is King Qi after a hundred years from now."

"I suddenly came up with an idea just now, I want Ah Hai to go to Liaodong with you."

A Hai is the nickname of King Qi.

"King Qi is going to Liaodong?" Luo Cheng didn't understand what kind of operation this was.
Since you are worried about King Qi, then you can't let him out.

"I know that although there are still five counties in Liaodong, but with you here, the Yuan family will definitely be eradicated within three to five years. I plan to send Ah Hai to North Korea, and I will never let him return for the rest of my life. In the Central Plains, staying in Liaodong forever can be regarded as a way to preserve him."

Luo Cheng was stunned.

Yang Guang is really deliberate.You must know that at the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, the feudal system of princes had already been abolished. Although the princes were also appointed as the general manager, the general manager was only an official position rather than a knighthood, and there was no fiefdom.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he even killed and imprisoned the two remaining brothers.Yang Liang, king of Han, was killed for rebellion, and Yang Xiu, king of Shu, was imprisoned by him until now.

Even his own sons and grandsons only have titles, not land.

Now Yang Guang actually wants to give Yang Wei a fief in North Korea?
Does this mean that Yang Guang wants to change the enfeoffment system he set before?
"I'm going to confer on Qi Wang Yang Hao as the governor of Lelang County, and give him a fief of a hundred miles and a thousand households as a beneficiary."

In the end, the emperor didn't say that he would give Yang Wei a fief to build a country, but only said that he would be a long history, and then he would be given a fief and a thousand households. However, it should be better than living a life like house arrest by Yang Guang's side all year round. of.

"I hope you can take care of me, and take care of King Qi, and don't let him make mistakes again."
