Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 342 Unlucky Cui

On the way back, Yang Ming chatted with Cui Churen for a while, only to find out that this kid was actually Du Yan's boss.

Du Yan worked as a guard at Mingde Gate, while Cui Churen was only 19 years old this year. With his father's shadow, he got a gate guard and was regarded as an adjutant of the city defense.

He is the second son, and he has an elder brother Cui Chuzhi who is now the prefect of Fengyi County.

The current status of the old Cui family is very embarrassing. They don't want to have anything to do with Qi Wang Yang Wei, but unfortunately Cui Churen's cousin Cui Lingzi married Yang Wei as Qi Wang's concubine.

This marriage was arranged by the emperor, and their family could not object to it.

Cui Churen was grateful for Yang Ming's help tonight, knowing that his status was humble, and he might never have the chance to be alone with Yang Ming again, so he said quite frankly:
"The uncles are deliberately alienating themselves from the third uncle. In their hearts, the uncles actually admire King Qin."

This sentence is like a certificate of honor, intended to show favor.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "If you talk too much, you will lose it. Don't talk nonsense about some things."

Cui Churen sighed and said: "The humble position just hopes that His Highness will understand our situation, it is not what we want, it is really difficult to impose."

"Speak carefully," Yang Ming said flatly.

Cui Churen didn't dare to say any more.

Their family can be said to be the most unlucky in the past few years. The boss, Cui Hongdu, can't bear the repeated blows now, and it is said that he is on the verge of dying.

The second eldest, Cui Hongsheng, had a daughter who was originally a concubine, but was abolished. The third eldest, Cui Hongjun, was betrothed by the emperor to Qi Wang Yang Hao.

Cui Hongsheng has two younger sisters, one is married to the son of Wei Chijiong, the Duke of Shu in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the other is married to Yang Jian's third son, Qin Wang Yang Jun.

The four marriages are all of the highest gold content. The princes of the three kings and one country, not to mention ordinary families, even the rich and powerful in Guanzhong are not married so well, but they are unlucky. These four marriages have all gone wrong.

Yu Chijiong rebelled, several sons were killed, Yang Jun was even more powerful, he was directly poisoned by his wife Cui, and Yang Zhao abolished his concubine, leaving only one Cui Lingzi, who still married Yang Wei.

Old Cui's family was dissatisfied with Yang Hao. Judging from their family's memorization in recent years, the marriage with Yang Hao might not be a good thing.

Marriage is a matter of risk and benefit.

So the Cui family brothers discussed it and decided to temporarily draw a line with the youngest Cui Hongjun to see the effect.

This is called hedging. If such a large family bets on one person, if something happens, the family will be finished.

"I heard that Cui Hongjun has gone to Prince Zhao's Mansion now?" Yang Ming asked.

Cui Churen nodded and said: "Return to Your Highness, the one who just went there is the Chief History Officer of King Zhao's Palace, this is what the Empress means."

King Zhao is Yang Gao, Xiao Pin's son, and Yang Ming's fourth younger brother. Cui Hongjun is not stupid, and he was afraid of accidents, so he bet on the two kings.

Yang Ming asked again: "Is there still contact with Yang Hao?"

"Letters are frequent and never cut off," Cui Churen said.

Yang Hao is the eldest son of Yang Jun, now he has been named King of Liang, and now he is the Hussar General of Heyang Mansion. He is Cui Churen's cousin and Yang Ming's cousin.

"Don't spread the news about the meeting with this king tonight, it's not good for you," Yang Ming said lightly.

Cui Churen was taken aback for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know a humble job, but do I have a chance to serve King Qin?"

"You are still young, you should ask your father for advice in everything, and don't make up your own mind." After finishing speaking, Yang Ming led his people away.

Cui Churen stayed where he was, recalling Yang Ming's last words, he didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either.

After contemplating for a long time, Cui Churen was shocked suddenly and suddenly realized.

He understood what Yang Ming meant. As a young goalkeeper, he was not qualified to serve the King of Qin. His last sentence implied that he should discuss with his father Cui Hongsheng more. With his father's sophistication, he naturally knew how to deal with the King of Qin in the future.

Cui Churen was overjoyed, as long as King Qin gave him a chance, his family would definitely seize it.

The next day, Yang Ming ordered Fang Xuanling to bring some scrolls, which recorded the details of the various families in the south who participated in the spring outing.

He wants to find a marriage for Yang Xiu's son Yang Xiao in here.

Yang Lihua's persuasion to Yang Xiu was undoubtedly correct. Their branch cannot marry with the Guanzhong Clan.

The southern aristocratic family didn't dare either, everyone knew that getting involved with Yang Xiu was not a good thing.

So which family can marry Yang Xiu generously without worrying about being implicated?

There is only one answer, Lanling Xiao.

After looking through the archives, Yang Ming probably had a good idea. The Xiao family had 14 daughters-to-be who came to Guanzhong this year, ranging in age from 19 to [-] years old. Check it out yourself.

If he finds an ugly girl for Yang Xiao, Yang Lihua will not agree, after all, the ugly appearance affects the genes of their old Yang family.

So he took a team of trilogy early and headed to Lanling Xiao's residence.

At the spring outing hosted by Yang Lihua back then, the control of the major families was done in secret, but Yang Ming put it on the bright side, and he just let everyone know his attitude.

If I don't nod my head, don't mess around. Any physical relationship that happens without my consent is considered a peace deal.

Marriage between aristocratic families is a very important matter, so Yang Ming couldn't help but be careless. Even he himself relied on Chunyou to become in-laws with Hongnong Yang and Hedong Pei, thus crushing his second son Yang Hao to death.

The residences of the southern aristocratic families are all in the east, which is distinct from the residences of the Guanzhong clan in the west.

On the way, a group of female cavalry suddenly sprang out from a camp with a strange style on the side of the road. Their clothing style was different from that of the Central Plains. They were wearing short shirts and had short hair. The bun looks weird too.

Yang Ming asked Du Ruhui curiously, "Is it Nanman?"

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "It's a slang from Lingnan, and they're here too."

Just as he was talking, the female rider in the lead had already come towards Yang Ming. After getting closer, that person began to look up and down affectionately at Yang Ming. Put Yang Ming to sleep.

Yang Ming knew that the slang people were open-minded, but he didn't expect it to be so open?Do slang boys have to protect themselves when they go out?
"You are the King of Qin?" the short-haired beauty in the lead laughed.

Yang Ming stopped Pang Ben who was about to step forward to reprimand him, nodded and said, "Miss can speak Chinese?"

"I learned it since I was a child, how is it? I said it is very good?" The short-haired girl smiled.

The other party was speaking Guanzhong dialect, so Yang Ming couldn't help asking curiously: "Who is the elder in the girl's family?"

"Father Feng An (ang), my name is Feng Yuzhi," the short-haired girl kept turning the horse's head, staring at Yang Ming with interest.

Yang Ming laughed and said, "It turns out that she is the daughter of Feng An, the prefect of Hanyang, and the great-granddaughter of Mrs. Qiao Guo. Disrespect and disrespect."

No wonder she is so courageous, she turned out to be the great-granddaughter of Mrs. Xian, the daughter of Feng An, the leader of the Lingnan tribe. The policy of the Sui Dynasty towards Lingnan was to rule the slang by the slang, and the local government affairs were handed over to Mrs. Xian and the others. ask.

How big was Lingnan in the Sui Dynasty?Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, and eastern Yunnan, the three and a half provinces, are now under the control of Feng An, and only Feng An can manage them.

Mrs. Xian has passed away, Feng An, as Mrs. Xian's grandson, is currently helping Da Sui Town Fu Lingnan, and his power is no less than that of the four general managers.

Historically, Feng An also had a great-grandson who was very famous. His real name was Feng Yuanyi. Later, he took his adoptive father's surname and changed his surname to Gao. He became the famous Gao Lishi.

"Where are you going?" Feng Yuzhi asked.

Yang Ming joked, "I won't tell you."

Feng Yuzhi smiled heartily: "If you don't tell me, I will follow you."

"We'll see if you can keep up," Yang Ming said with a wink behind him, then whipped his horse and galloped forward.

Su Lie immediately led 20 people to stop Feng Yuzhi in front, lest the other party really stick to King Qin.

Feng Yuzhi's status is very special. Empress Xiao recognized her as a righteous daughter. No one in Guanzhong dared to offend her. After all, the Great Sui could not live without Lingnan, and Lingnan could not live without Feng An. Feng An had thirty sons, only two daughters. .

Feng Yuzhi didn't chase after him immediately, but rather strangely began to roll up his hair, and inserted a silver hairpin and an ivory comb.

According to their slang customs, she had fallen in love with Yang Ming, and changed her hair style, calling it Xu Marriage.

After tying up her bun, Feng Yuzhi glared at Su Lie, and then led the female cavalry behind him to leave directly from the other direction. Su Lie was worried and followed behind.

Then, all the female riders stopped suddenly, blocking Su Lie and others, and Feng Yuzhi was left riding alone, galloping towards the east.

There are more than [-] tents in Xiao's camp, and it is very lively with people coming and going.

After seeing Xiao Jing, Yang Ming didn't hide anything, and told the truth, Xiao Jing was immediately unhappy.

"Your Highness, why bother your own mother's family? Yang Xiu is now a commoner, and he committed a serious crime back then. His son wants to marry our Xiao family, and I will never agree to it," Xiao Jing complained.

After Yang Ming sat down, he said, "Uncle thinks, does His Majesty care about the Xiao family, or the brothers?"

He definitely doesn't care about his brother, but Xiao Jing dare not say this, he can only say:
"Your Majesty, of course values ​​kinship."

Yang Ming smiled and said: "Although they are common people, they are also common people of my Yang family. They can sacrifice to the Taimiao, but the Xiao family can't. My uncle is one of my own. It's not easy for you either."

We have a queen to support us, are we still afraid of the eldest princess?Xiao Jing asked: "Does the empress know about this?"

"My mother doesn't know," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Uncle, don't feel embarrassed. I won't do things that are not good for the Xiao family. You just need to understand this."

Xiao Jing sighed: "If this happens, I'm afraid the clan will complain a lot to me."

"Alright, since my uncle is in such a difficult situation, I might as well play to my father and see what the old man means," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Xiao Jing was shocked for a moment, and hurriedly waved her hands: "You must not."

The Xiao family looked down on the Yang family. If Yang Guang knew about this shit, it would be impossible for him not to get angry.

Although the fourth child, Yang Xiu, is already a commoner, there is one thing that cannot be changed. He is Yang Guang's biological brother, and the biological brother of a parent.

What else could Xiao Jing say?Don't look at Yang Ming as his nephew, no matter how high or low he is.

"Sigh, if something happens, Your Highness has to help me out?" Xiao Jing sighed.

Yang Ming smiled and comforted him:
"Uncle, don't worry, there are only advantages and no disadvantages. Don't you think about it, can I do things that are not beneficial to the Xiao family?"
