Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 493 Guangxi Ning Changzhen

The reason why Lingnan is called Lingnan is because this area is located in the south of Nanling, the largest mountain range in southern my country. Nanling is composed of five main mountains: Yuecheng Ridge, Dupang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, Qitian Ridge and Dayuling Ridge. , forming the northern barrier of the Lingnan area.

Lingnan is composed of Guangdong, Guangxi, eastern Yunnan, and southwestern Fujian, with a vast area.

There are three largest tribes here: Nanyue, Xiou, and Luoyue.

Ning Changzhen is the commander-in-chief of the Guangxi region and the leader of the Xiou tribe. Feng An's elder brother Feng Xuan is the leader of the Nanyue tribe, and Tan Dian is the leader of the Luoyue tribe.

Because the Sui Dynasty called Lingnan people slang, that is, slang, so these three people are the three chiefs in Lingnan, and Feng An is the recognized boss of all the tribes in Lingnan, because Feng An has the support of the court.

Ning Changzhen is now the prefect of Ningyue County, the Duke of Qinjiang County, that is, Qinzhou, Guangxi. Their ancestors have occupied half of Guangxi for generations, and they left the Central Plains court immediately. This mainly depends on the court's policy towards them. I'm good, I'll listen to you for the time being, if you treat me badly, I'm not a bird.

And Ning Changzhen's daughter-in-law is Feng Xuan's daughter. In history, after these two people surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, they rebelled against Li Yuan. It was not until Li Shimin's period that they sent people to appease, which stabilized the Lingnan area.

That's right, it's appeasement. If you rebel, I have to appease you.

For such a big thorn in the head, Yang Ming didn't count on it. He didn't have any friendship with him. They obeyed you in face, but they didn't obey you in heart. It's better to count on Wang Bo to surrender voluntarily than to count on him.

"You think highly of Feng Yuzhi too much. She has the ability to convince Ning Changzhen, an old fox?" Yang Ming smiled wryly.

Yang Yinjiang said: "Then what else can we do? All the money and food in the world will return to Luoyang. Even Bashu made great efforts last year. Right now, Ning Changzhen is the only one who stays out of the matter and preserves his strength. We can get some food."

As for most of Yunnan, don’t count on it, because most of Yunnan now belongs to the Great Sui in name, but has no actual control. Well, there was originally a Nanning Prefecture General Manager's Office. Wei Chong had worked here before, and he basically couldn't control it. Later, when Wei Chong left, the Nanning Prefecture General Manager's Office disappeared.

During the Tang Dynasty, this place was called the Nanzhao Kingdom, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms it was called the Dali Kingdom, and it was not included in China until the Yuan Dynasty.

Now the expedition to Goguryeo, the whole country is working hard, and you can’t squeeze out any oil and water in other places, so Ning Changzhen, who is entrenched in Guangxi, is really worth a try. This person is quite rich. He is not a high-ranking man. It is the emperor of the land.

After sending someone to call Feng Yuzhi, Yang Yinjiang explained the situation to him, and the latter's expression changed in the middle of hearing it.

"This person, even my grandpa wants to let him get three points. It is not easy to ask him to borrow food."

Ning Changzhen, this name is like a big brother who cultivates immortals. Looking at the name alone, he has at least a thousand years of Taoism. He is actually only in his 50s, which is similar to Feng An, but his seniority is higher. Oh, almost mean.

So Feng An was in Lingnan and treated him as his elder brother.

Feng Yuzhi continued: "I'm a junior, and I don't have any sympathy with others. Don't look at my cousin who married his son Ning Zhu, he also has no good looks towards my uncle."

Yang Ming suddenly smiled wryly. From the very beginning, he felt that this matter was embarrassing. Feng Yuzhi had a fart face in that place where men were favored over women.

Feng Yuzhi also lowered her head to ponder. She wanted to help Yang Ming from the bottom of her heart. Just as Yang Yinjiang guessed, she didn't plan to leave when she came to the capital this time. For herself, she hoped to stay in Yang Ming. By his side, and his father, Feng An, also hoped so.

In Feng An's view, marrying a daughter to the prince can make the court less concerned about Lingnan.

This time the emperor had to leave 3 platoons of soldiers from Lingnan. Isn't this just to weaken them? No one knows how many [-] people will go to the battlefield and come back.

Suddenly, Feng Yuzhi raised his head and said, "Someone might give it a try."

"Who?" Yang Ming was stunned.

Feng Yuzhi was suddenly discouraged again, and murmured: "But this person is currently in Luoyang."

Yang Ming said anxiously: "You just need to say who this person is. Whether or not he can come forward is my business."

Feng Yuzhi smiled, stuck out his tongue and said:
"We in Lingnan have always had internal marriages, neither married nor married outside, but Ning Changzhen had a fight with his father Ning Mengli because of this incident, because when he was young, he wanted to marry a Jiangnan woman. The woman later married the old Crown Prince Chen, who later became the emperor."

Yang Ming and Yang Yinjiang were shocked at the same time and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Shen Wuhua?Chen Shuyi's mother?
What caused this trouble, did Ning Chang really have this kind of love between his son and daughter when he was young?So, Shen Wuhua is his first love?
"Call Shuyi here, and I'll ask her," Yang Ming said.

Not long after, Chen Shuyi came with the child in her arms. Yang Ming walked over to pick up the child, and carried the child around the hall.

Wherever Chen Shuyi was in the East Palace, she wanted to do whatever she wanted. No one dared to take care of her because Yang Yinjiang didn't.

"Shuyi's Aunt, you won't follow His Majesty this time, will you?" Yang Yinjiang took the lead in probing.

Chen Shuyi rolled her eyes: "I'm going, Your Majesty has already told you to let Auntie ride with the Queen."

This is really strange, no matter where Yang Guang goes, he always takes Shen Wuhua with him, why is this?Is there really something unspeakable between the two?

Yang Yinjiang frowned and looked at her husband: "What should I do?"

Yang Ming was also speechless, and his father is also a weirdo, why are you so close to Chen Shubao's widow?You are the emperor, are you not afraid of people talking behind your back?
Since Yang Guang wanted to take him away, no one could keep him. Yang Ming was distressed and said:
"Has Shuyi heard of Ning Changzhen?"

Chen Shuyi frowned and said: "It's not just that I heard, I've seen it several times, this man's grandfather, Ning Mengli, was born on the same day as my grandfather, so every Christmas, both father and son will go to Jiankang to meet him My father, Uncle Ning brings me a lot of gifts every time he comes, by the way, why do you mention him?"

Is this Uncle Ning?Your mother has an unusual relationship with him, Yang Ming quickly gave Yang Yinjiang a wink, indicating that the other party should talk about it.

As a result, Chen Shuyi saw it in her eyes, and said directly: "Don't wink at Yin Jiang, is there anything you can't tell me directly?"

Yang Ming is quite embarrassed, it's about your mother's romance, I'm embarrassed to say it.

"Right now, the imperial court needs a batch of money and food, and there is nowhere to borrow it. I want to ask Ning Changzhen for help, but I suffer from the lack of a middleman."

The corner of Chen Shuyi's mouth twitched: "You want my mother to be a middleman? This is absolutely impossible."

Seeing Chen Shuyi's reaction, Yang Ming and the others immediately guessed that there must be something tricky about it.

Yang Yinjiang asked: "Why not?"

Chen Shuyi sighed, and said: "It involves a past event. If my mother goes to Lingnan, she will not be able to come back. Even if it is Your Majesty, don't even want to come back."

This is true knowledge, Feng Yuzhi is like a melon-eating crowd right now, not saying a word, just sitting so obediently, waiting to hear the gossip with an excited face.

Yang Yinjiang coughed dryly and said, "Is it convenient for Shuyi to tell us?"

Chen Shuyi glanced at the three of them helplessly, and sighed: "It's not impossible to tell, but please don't spread it. It wasn't my mother who told me about it, but my grandmother (Liu Jingyan) told me."

"Don't worry, Shuyi, there will be no rumors," Yang Yinjiang said hastily.

Chen Shuyi pondered for a moment, then said lightly:
"Grandfather Zhonglun (Shen Junli) once led an army to Lingnan to suppress the rebellion, and at that time he formed friendship with the Ning family. Since then, the two families have frequent exchanges. Ning Changzhen worshiped under the ancestor's family, and he is commensurate with A Niang's brother and sister. I heard from my grandmother that Uncle Ning wanted to marry A Niang at that time, but Ning Mengli hoped that he would marry the daughter of a handsome chieftain in Lingnan. Later, my grandmother (Princess Mu of Kuaiji, daughter of Chen Baxian) disagreed, so she made A Niang marry Gave it to my grandfather."

Chen Shuyi's grandfather, Shen Junli, married the daughter of Chen Baxian, the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty, Chen Shubao, the nephew of Chen Baxian, and Shen Wuhua, the granddaughter of Chen Baxian.

Therefore, Chen Shuyi's bloodline cannot be more upright.

Seeing the silence of a few people, Chen Shuyi hastily reminded: "Don't spread the word?"

"No, no," Yang Ming came back to his senses and nodded. It seems that Chen Shubao and his wife are not in harmony, and it has something to do with Chang Ning.

But here comes the problem, Shen Wuhua can't go to Lingnan, so Ning Chang really won't borrow food.

After Chen Shuyi probably knew what had happened, she said, "Since it's a major event, I can write a letter to Auntie, and she can write a personal letter to Uncle Ning, expressing her interests. As for whether it can be done, I can't say for sure."

"Maybe we can give it a try," Yang Yinjiang said, looking at Yang Ming.

In the Sui Dynasty, state affairs, family affairs, and world affairs were not as important as personal affairs. A man could not forget his first love, otherwise he would not have such a saying that he would become a concubine in anger.

If Yang Guang and Ning Chang really asked for food, they would bother them enough, but for Shen Wuhua, that's not sure.

Yang Ming nodded and said: "For the current plan, we can only try it out, and it must be quick. After all, Lingnan is far away, and Shandong has changed. In the first half of this year, this matter must be completed, otherwise the chaos in Shandong may lead to a sudden death." It's unmanageable."

Chen Shuyi nodded, and immediately began to write the letter, with Yang Ming and Yang Yinjiang beside her, helping to polish it.

"You don't need to teach me how to write. Aniang knows how to deal with Uncle Ning, but this food must be paid back. It is impossible to give it for nothing," Chen Shuyi said while writing.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Of course I have to pay it back, but right now I don't know if he will borrow it."

Chen Shuyi stopped writing, remained silent for a moment, and said: "At least [-]% sure, Uncle Ning once gave my aunt a precious pearl, and that precious pearl can be exchanged for [-] hectares of fertile land, which is priceless."

"It can't be the Oujiang Dazhu of the Xiou tribe, right?" Feng Yuzhi asked in surprise.

Chen Shuyi nodded: "That's it, it seems that the orb is of great significance, so A Niang returned it."

"Of course it is of great significance!" Feng Yuzhi smiled wryly, "He really dared to give it away. That bead is the symbol of the leader of the Xiou tribe. It is more than fifty acres of land. If you give me this bead, our Nanyue tribe would be willing to exchange everything. "

Yang Ming was also dumbfounded. Ning Changzhen was a real spender in picking up girls.
