A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 592 Wang’s choice of path

Although the Wang family had doubts about the longevity of the Sui Dynasty, they also understood that if they wanted to gain more luck points, they had to get more involved in the affairs of the Xia.

In the past three hundred years, the Wang family has launched many major events overseas, but they have not gained much luck, and they have consumed more and more luck. Only then did Wang realize that being single would not make the Wang family pass on forever.

It happened that the Liu Song Dynasty was destroyed, and the Wang family's participation in government affairs would not arouse the fear of the Sui family. This time they returned to the Central Plains just to participate.

Wang needs to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Sui Dynasty. After everyone discussed it, the Wang family disagreed with many of Yang Jian's policies, so the Wang family turned their attention to the successor of the Sui Dynasty, Prince Yang Yong.

After all, Yang Jian is not young now. Although there are many mistakes in his governance, the Sui Dynasty has just established the country, and there are still opportunities to make corrections. If the prince is wise, then the Wang family will also consider helping and assisting the prince.

If the prince is equally stupid, then the Wang family will have to consider whether to support the Sui Dynasty.

Wang Xuanze sent people to collect information. Because the Wang family had not been in the Central Plains for a long time, the secret guard's intelligence network was much weaker than before. After spending some time, I finally collected information about the prince.

Prince Yang Yong has a handsome appearance, likes reading, and has high literary literacy. At the same time, he helped Yang Jian handle government affairs very early. When Yang Jian usurped the throne, he played an important role in it. He has a tolerant and straightforward personality, and has good relations with many literati and ministers. .

In the Liu Song court at that time, it was Yang Yong who served as the internal history official, responsible for the palace guards, and was a close official of the emperor.

From this point of view, Prince Yang Yong should be a generous person. If he were a king, he would also be a benevolent king.

However, what we see now are only superficial appearances. The true temperament of Yang Yong still needs to be observed by the family members themselves. After all, there are too many people who are good at pretending.

The court must let those wealthy families spend money so that the court can receive enough business taxes instead of desperately squeezing the people.

After reading the information about Prince Yang Yong, everyone in the Wang family felt that although Yang Yong was not a genius and could become a famous king, he was generally considered to be above average, and his personality was gentle and generous, which was very good for the Wang family. That's good news.

After all, if they encounter an emperor who is too powerful, they will have their own opinions and it will be extremely difficult to change them. It is almost impossible to get him to govern according to the methods of the Wang family. This kind of emperor has a strong sense of control, and he cares about life and death with one heart.

In addition to this information, Wang Xuanze also discovered some of the prince's preferences. The prince liked beauties and enjoyed luxury.

In Wang's view, liking beautiful women and enjoying luxury are not shortcomings. This is human nature, as long as you can control it.

The emperors of the Daqian period also liked beauties. There is nothing wrong with this. As long as it does not affect the governance of the country, enjoying luxury is not a big problem. How much money can be spent on personal enjoyment, as long as the people are not squeezed to build a large number of palaces and large-scale construction projects are not tolerated. People's power will do.

And more importantly, the people in this world are living a very difficult life. If the successor emperor is a tolerant king, then the people will be able to breathe a sigh of relief and take some time off.

After years of development, the Wang family has its own views on the economy. The more frugal the world is, the better. If no one in the world spends money, what will happen to the things produced by the people?

Those wealthy families hide their money in cellars instead of spending it. This is not a good thing for the country.

As the capital of the country, Daxing City has a large population and is the most prosperous city in the world today. Because it is under the emperor's feet, the public security here is excellent.

The new dynasty was established, and the government's control was extremely strong. The knights and thieves who lived in troubled times have basically disappeared.

At the same time, because of the emperor's control, the dignitaries in Chang'an did not dare to act recklessly, and the people's lives were pretty good. Wang Xuanze traveled with several disciples from his family who were good at recognizing people. The purpose of their trip this time was obvious, that is, they wanted to take a look at Yang Yong, the prince of the Sui Dynasty.

Wang received news in advance that in the next few days, Prince Yang Yong would go to Daxingshan Temple to worship Buddha and pray for Sui Emperor Yang Jian and the Queen, so she wanted to take the opportunity to see his character.

Wang Xuanze and several family members went to Daxingshan Temple to visit. They used the name of the Huai'an Wang family. Daxingshan Temple also warmly received them. After all, although the Huai'an Wang family is not a top family, it is still first-class. This is a little bit of face. There are still some.

After staying at Daxingshan Temple for two days, a novice suddenly came to inform that the prince came to offer incense and asked everyone not to rush into the prince's car.

Soon a large number of prince guards came to the temple, and it took a while to settle down. Then I saw a car driving to the temple, and the prince Yang Yong and a group of people came with him.

After offering incense, Prince Yang Yong heard that there were some other disciples in the temple, so he wanted to meet them.

Everyone in the Wang family knew that he was talented in literature and good at poetry. If they knew that a well-known scholar was here, they would definitely be tempted to invite him. Everyone in the Wang family just took this opportunity to see what his nature was like.

This time, the children of the Wang family were not the only ones visiting Daxingshan Temple. There were also children of the Cui family, the Xiao family, and the Li family who were also visiting here, so naturally they were invited.

Several members of the Wang family went to participate. Before entering the garden, they heard a burst of laughter coming from inside. After the Wang family arrived, everyone greeted them one after another.

At this time, everyone was exchanging poems and songs, and the leader was naturally Yang Yong. At this time, Yang Yong was in high spirits and very happy. This scene lasted until the sun was about to set.

Everyone returned home and began to give their opinions on Yang Yong.

As a result, everyone believed that Yang Yong was not pretending and that he did these things out of his heart. He is not a hypocrite who is duplicitous.

"Sir, Yang Yong is indeed kind. During this period, he personally asked about the food of the palace guards. Although he likes luxury a little, it is not serious."

"Sir, Yang Yong is kind, smart, and not good at pretending. If he can become the emperor, he will also be a loyal leader. If he is willing to transfer his power, he will indeed be a good candidate!"

"Sir, I think Yang Yong is not suitable!" Another person next to him said after being silent for a while.

"Why?"

"Because he is not the emperor yet." Next to Wang Xuanze, a beautiful woman said, it was his sister Wang Xuanying.

"He is not the emperor yet, but he is extravagant and wasteful. His father Yang Jian advocated frugality, but he never listened. His mother is jealous. Yang Jian only has one queen, but Yang Yong has a lovely wife and concubine by his side. How can his mother Will you like it?"

"Both the emperor and the empress don't like it. His throne is hanging!"
