A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 595 The battle for the prince

If there is any family that has the most experience in seizing direct descendants, it is probably the Wang family. From the Huai Kingdom to Daqian, there has never been an incident of heirloom in the Wang family. This is partly because of the ancestors, and partly because the Wang family has collected and sorted out the heirloom incidents during the Spring and Autumn Period.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were at most hundreds of countries. Although heirloom seizures were not common, there were hundreds of countries over such a long period of time, and a lot of information could be collected.

The Wang family sorted out these heirloom incidents and let descendants of all generations learn from them, so that they know how to deal with them and at the same time not to do these things.

These methods used by Jin Wang Yang Guang have appeared many times in the past thousands of years, and the Wang family naturally has ways to deal with them.

After hearing what Wang Xuanjing said, Yang Yong's expression was a little hesitant. Wang Xuanjing didn't rush him when he saw it, and just sat aside and waited quietly.

After a while, Yang Yong finally made up his mind, and then said to Wang Xuanjing: "Just as Mr. said!"

Hearing Yang Yong's agreement, Wang Xuanjing sighed slightly in his heart. The prince was not determined. These were just trivial matters and he had to hesitate for a long time. Wang Xuanjing was not very optimistic about him.

However, the family needs an emperor who is willing to transfer power and has a benevolent personality. Yang Yong is the most suitable.

Then Yang Yong asked the palace attendants to collect all the gold and silver ornaments in the East Palace, put on simple clothes, and removed the gold screens and gold and jade tables.

At the same time, he ordered people to prepare simple old clothes and replace them with luxurious clothes.

"Why?" Yang Yong was also confused.

"If the prince is unwilling, what he just did will be in vain."

"The saint is the son of Zhu Xia. He only favors the queen in the harem. Your Highness is the prince. How many concubines are there in the palace?"

"Because the prince is not like his father!" Wang Xuanjing said lightly.

Next, Yang Yong ordered people to gather the people in the palace, select the beautiful ones among them, give them gold and silver, and prepare to marry them to the lieutenants among the six princes to win over the soldiers.

"In addition, the Holy Queen is very dissatisfied with His Highness taking in other concubines, and His Highness should also know it. Your Highness is not like the father, and the Holy Mother is not happy. How can the position of the crown prince be stable?"

After hearing this, Yang Yong finally decided to choose a few buildings in the city near the East Palace for these concubines to live.

Wang Xuanjing watched for a moment, and finally sighed in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, do you know that we are both His Majesty's heirs, so why is Your Highness not favored by these two saints?"

But when he was ready to dismiss his concubine, Yang Yong hesitated for a long time. The officials in the East Palace around him tried to persuade him, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

It took a few days for the East Palace to change drastically, from a luxurious palace that surpassed the Renshou Palace to a palace that could almost rival the Leng Palace.

After preparing everything, Yang Yong wrote an emotional memorial to admit his mistake to the two saints.

Then he went to the palace in person to make a statement to Emperor Yang Jian. When Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo heard that the prince asked for an audience, they felt a little unhappy. He was worried that extravagance was spreading among his subordinates, so he set an example and issued orders to persuade him. However, his prince took the lead in violating it. Wasn't this a slap in his face?

Looking at the second son, he is smart, studious, and humble. He advocates frugality as much as he does, and he also dotes on Princess Jin. How can he not have the stinking problem of the eldest son? Not to mention the royal family, even in the homes of ordinary nobles, the second son will be favored. son.

But even though they were unhappy, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo still met Yang Yong. After seeing Yang Yong, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo were also slightly surprised. The prince, who always liked luxurious new clothes, actually came wearing old clothes.

Next, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo were even more surprised. Prince Yang Yong actually openly and formally admitted his mistakes to them, and wrote a letter to correct his previous mistakes, saying that he would no longer be extravagant, but would take the lead in frugality. And he actually dismissed the palace people and other concubines.

This made Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo immediately feel relieved.

The eyes that looked at Yang Yong suddenly became much softer. After reading Yang Yong's emotional letter, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo also remembered the family happiness of Yang Yong's childhood, and their hearts were even more touched. Next, they paid tribute to Yang Yong. His attitude is even more intimate.

Yang Yong's eyes were also red. He didn't know when he entered the palace to meet the saint and was mostly scolded. He had not felt such tenderness for a long time.

Now he actually felt it again, which also touched his heart.

"It's not too late for Da Lang to realize his mistake now. Our great Sui Dynasty was hard-won. If our royal family is not thrifty and advocates luxury, the officials and noble families below will definitely follow suit. Once the trend of extravagance spreads, the world will be in chaos. .”

"I know my mistake. In the past, I only knew my own preferences, but I forgot that the prince's words and deeds also represent the royal family. From now on, I will definitely follow my father's example, promote frugality, dislike luxury, and no longer be greedy for beauty. "

"My son, I sincerely ask my father and mother to send a lieutenant to supervise my son. If my son goes overboard, I will remind him in time." Yang Yong said with tears in his eyes, and took the initiative to ask the emperor and empress to send someone to supervise him. (Zhongguan is a title for internal servants and eunuchs.)

This trick was also taught to him by Wang Xuanjing. Asking the emperor to send someone to supervise it was not just for supervision, but also to leave a channel of communication with the emperor.

Let the emperor know what the prince has done, and avoid the emperor's suspicion and misunderstanding caused by other people's slander and slander.

At the same time, with the middle official present, the prince's every move was seen by the emperor. The emperor knew very well what the prince did. This also prevents others from playing dirty tricks.

King Yang Guang of Jin was able to achieve success not only because he could endure it and pretend to be what Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo liked, but also because he paid a lot of money to a close attendant of the emperor, who could help him talk good and bad, convey news, and even Cut off some news from the prince at critical moments.

Coupled with Yang Su and Dugu Jialuo, Yang Guang blocked almost all of Yang Yong's roads. It forced him not to contact the emperor in this way.

After hearing the prince's words, Yang Jian's heart moved slightly. He felt that this suggestion was very good. After the prince begged several times, he reluctantly agreed, and then sent one of his attendants to the prince's womb for supervision.

After some petitions, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo's attitude towards the prince Yang Yong changed greatly. After Yang Yong returned to the palace, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy to talk to Wang Xuanjing.

Wang Xuanjing listened calmly, and then continued to persuade: "Your Highness must not get carried away. You must be cautious in your words and deeds, maintain your current status, and at the same time please the saint more."

At the same time, the change of attitude of the emperor and the queen towards Yang Yong soon spread throughout Chang'an, and for a while, an undercurrent surged in Chang'an city.
