Chapter 291
The Prince of Changning did not expect that he would meet the Duke of Changning County here at this time. He didn't know how to react for a while, and the two men were stalemate on the street.%
Yang Yan was very afraid of Yi Feng. He had been the King of Changning for more than ten years, but now the emperor suddenly gave Yi Feng a title of Changning County Duke and a county title to two people. If Yi Feng was just a frontier general, then that would be fine, but now who doesn't know that Yi Feng is actually his brother. Before Yi Feng appeared, he was the eldest son of the Eastern Palace and the eldest grandson of the royal family. Although his mother was just a seventh-rank Zhaoxun's concubine, when the princess of the Eastern Palace died for seven years and did not renew his marriage, his eldest son did not appear very humble. Instead, he had a great chance to become the heir of the Tian family in the future. But Yi Feng appeared differently, and everything changed. Who knows whether the title of Changning that the emperor granted Yi Feng to Yi Feng means that his position as the heir of the Eastern Palace has always been to give way.
Sitting in the luxurious and comfortable carriage, Yang Yan felt extremely annoyed at this moment. He regretted it very much now. If he didn't see those good horses just now, he would stop the car and stop Yi Feng. He would not be so embarrassed at this time, and he would be in a hurry and be unable to get up and down.
Yang Yan wanted to cover his head and leave, just pretending that he didn't recognize Yi Feng.
As the eldest son of the Eastern Palace, he had already regarded himself as the future heir of the Sui world, and felt that he would one day inherit the position of crown prince, and even one day in the future, he would inherit the Sui country. The Yi Feng who suddenly emerged in front of him had already deeply threatened his position.
But Yang Yan also grew up in the capital. He has been used to fighting all kinds of power since childhood and is very scheming. A simple-minded person cannot sit firmly among the princes of the Eastern Palace. Think about his current situation carefully. If he leaves quietly, this matter will definitely spread throughout the capital soon. At that time, everyone will say that he has escaped in shame and is afraid of Yi Feng. What's more, even if he avoids it today, he can escape the first day of the first day, and can he still escape the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar? Since Yi Feng has entered the capital, the battle between them is inevitable. In any case, this first meeting with Yi Feng is also the first head-on confrontation with Yi Feng. He cannot retreat no matter what.
In history, Yang Yong, who had been serving as the crown prince for 19 years, was finally deposed. After several years of imprisonment, Yang Guang ascended the throne and immediately pretended to have the imperial edict of Emperor Wen to kill Yang Yong. After his death, he was named King Fangling. However, none of his ten sons could inherit his inheritance. Yang Yan and other eight princes who had been king were deposed as commoners as early as when Yang Yong was deposed. When Yang Yong was deposed, Yang Yan and others were all exiled to Lingnan. However, Yang Yan was not exiled to Lingnan in the end. Halfway through, they were caught by their grandfather Yun Dingxing, and poisoned their nephews one by one, and exchanged their nephews for a rich future.
However, at this time, although rumors of dissatisfaction with the prince were repeatedly spread by the government and the people, most people still felt that although the prince was not as favored as before, the Sui Dynasty would eventually be inherited by Yang Yong. Yang Yan always believed this, especially recently, the emperor had successively ordered the prince to enter the palace and even kept food, which seemed to him an excellent sign, indicating that his father's position as the prince was stable. In this favorable situation, Yang Yan also felt that his position was stable. He was a prince, so of course he could not admit defeat in front of Yi Feng at this time.
The meeting at this time is a confrontation, and the purpose of the competition is of course the position of heir to the East Palace.
After understanding the truth, Yang Yan coughed lightly, "On the other side is the general manager of Wuzhou, Yi Envoy in front of you? I am the eldest son of the Eastern Palace, Wang Yan, and I am lucky to meet you here!"
Although he said he was lucky, he sat in the carriage without moving, and even the curtain was not lifted up. His attitude was extremely arrogant, and he treated Yi Feng as a frontier manager.
Yi Feng was riding on the horse, and he couldn't hear what Yang Yan meant. He deliberately did not mention his identity as the emperor and grandson, and wanted to use the identity of the prince to suppress his identity as the county prince. Yi Feng chuckled, sneered at this method, and immediately laughed: "Hahaha, it's true that Yi Feng is below, but there is another name that I'm afraid King Changning won't know. What? When my brother saw his brother in front of him, shouldn't he come out to salute?"
Yang Yan's face darkened and said in a low voice: "Xiao Wang doesn't know that there is another brother on his side. Manager Yi must be careful when speaking and don't commit a crime of great disrespect."
"I just returned from the palace with a saint. Your Majesty personally called me Yang Lin, and I have already made me recognize my ancestors. From then on, I am Yi Feng, Yi Feng is Yang Lin, the eldest son of the Eastern Palace and the eldest grandson of the royal family. Yang Yan, I haven't come out to pay homage to my brother yet!" Yi Feng said coldly and shouted loudly. He didn't care much about a mere Yang Yan. But since the other party overestimated his ability and wanted to step on him, there was no need to be polite to him.
Yang Yan gritted his teeth in the carriage, his face was unstable. But in the end, he felt that Yi Feng did not lie to him. If the emperor had not said that, then Yi Feng had committed a real crime of disrespect just now. No one dared to talk nonsense, and no one dared to falsely pass the imperial edict. If that was true, then he would have to go out to see Yi Feng at the moment. The Great Sui Dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety and is based on filial piety. Filial piety is the principle of superiority and inferiority, the ruler and ministers. Since Yi Feng has already recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, the emperor recognized his royal family.
With Sun's identity, Yi Feng became Yang Yan's elder brother, and he was also a legitimate brother. The difference between legitimate and illegitimate is huge. The more royal family, the more important the difference between legitimate and illegitimate is. In the past, there were no legitimate sons in the Eastern Palace, so the illegitimate sons were judged by their elders and young people, and he was able to stand out among the brothers and become a special one. But now, Yi Feng threw out the identity of the eldest son of the Eastern Palace, even if Yi Feng was still a county prince, he, the prince, had to walk out of the carriage and pay tribute to Yi Feng.
This is the difference between legitimate and illegitimate in the Patriarchal era.
When he got up, Yang Yan's hand clenched into a fist with his knuckles white.
After a few long breaths, he finally lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.
Yi Feng noticed at this time. Yang Yan's face was a little pale, but she was slender, and even looked a little similar to her. It seems that Queen Dugu's speculation that Yang Yan was a wild family member who was outside the Yun family and was with others was wrong. Although Yang Yan was indeed born with Yang Yong and Yun family in the outdoor field, he was indeed from the blood of the Yang family of the Tian family.
Yi Feng rode on the horse without intention of getting off the horse, and looked at Yang Yan condescendingly with a faint smile on his face. He actually looked forward to Yang Yan's reluctance to give in and hoped that Yang Yan would make a big fuss. In this way, he had enough reason to teach the prince a lesson. Of course, teaching Yang Yan was just by the way. What he most hoped was to convey his attitude to Yang Yong. Even he was not worried that if he taught Yang Yan a lesson and offended Yang Yong, the matter would be passed into the ears of Yang Jian and his wife. He is now temporarily living in the Yuan Mansion after entering Beijing. If he taught Yang Yan a lesson, he believed that Yang Jian and his wife would only think that he knew the cause of the death of the Crown Princess Yuan. Therefore, as a son, he retaliated against the Yun family and his son. This will not only not become a bad thing, but may make Yang Jian and his wife understand it.
However, Yang Yan finally disappointed Yi Feng. Yang Yan directly gave up on his defeat in the face of Yi Feng's killer move.
Born as a concubine, he felt inferior to the legitimate son. Therefore, when Yi Feng said that the emperor had already recognized him as the eldest grandson, Yang Yan could only walk out of the carriage desperately and helplessly, bow to Yi Feng, and pay homage to his brother.
"Get up. In this snowy and rainy weather, go home early to read books if you have nothing to do. Don't be in a carriage and wander around in the carriage." Yi Feng didn't save face at all and scolded everyone on both sides.
After being trained, Yang Yan had nothing to refute. Yi Feng was the legitimate son, he was the illegitimate son, and in terms of the order of the eldest son, Yi Feng was also older than him, so he was not only the legitimate son, but also the eldest son. When his illegitimate brother faced the eldest son, he had no room for refutation. He was hatred in his heart, but at this moment, he could only lower his head on the street. The previous thought of not giving in and fighting with Yi Feng was long gone. Once Yi Feng brought out the legitimate son and the eldest son, he had no room for revenge.
"Today, we invited several princes of the Shangshu Zuo Pushe Gao, several princes of the Wei family of the Taifu Mansion, several princes of the Li family of the Taifu Mansion, several princes of the Yu family of the Taifu Mansion, and many other princes of the capital Hou Zhu country to make an appointment to go to Baqiao to watch the snow and then go to Huaqing Pool to soak in the warm soup." Yang Yan replied, but he still expressed the identity of the carriage owner behind him in one breath, including the sons of the Prime Minister Gao Bing of the Court, as well as the three major clans of the Wei family and the Li family, and the Yu family among the top clans. The meaning of this is naturally to take advantage of the situation.
Yi Feng just smiled slightly when he heard this. Of course, he knew that the prince could last until now and not be replaced. In addition to the emperor's hesitation, although the eldest son was a problem, the main thing was that many people in the court supported Yang Yong, or that many people had long been connected with Yang Yong's interests. For example, Gao Yang, who was the prime minister of the dynasty, served as the head of all officials for more than ten years, had an unprecedented status in the court. Gao Yang's third son married Yang Yong's daughter Princess Daning. Yang Yong also married Gao, a woman from the same clan, to Liangdi. Liangdi was the third rank of the prince's concubine in the East Palace of the Crown Princess, who was the third rank. It is precisely because of this mutual marriage that Gao Yang became Yang Yong's most powerful supporter in the court.
The Wei family is also one of the top clans of the Sui Dynasty. In the Wei family, there were countless children in the court. At that time, Wei Xiaokuan personally took command and led the Wei family to wipe out the Northern Zhou Dynasty general manager Yuchi Cheng and others who raised an army to protect Zhou. The Wei family established a role in Yang Jian's usurpation of Zhou. However, Wei Xiaokuan died early for Yang Jian's suspicion and died soon after quelling the rebellion. Therefore, as soon as the Sui Dynasty established the country, the Wei family immediately received generous rewards. The Wei family had granted many Dukes, counties, dukes, and county dukes, and countless generals, generals, and governors, and even several children served as the most important chief officials of the Ministry of Personnel, Civil Affairs, and War in the court several times. The four major general managers set up in various places in the court, including three of them.
The prince was in charge, and the only position of Jingzhou chief executive who was not the prince was the Wei family. This shows the strength of the Wei family. Not long ago, Yang Guang personally asked for the daughter of Wei Chong, the nephew of Wei Xiaokuan, Wei Chong, to marry Wei Xiaokuan's nephew, to marry Wei family. Yang Yong also married the Wei family. As early as after Yang Guang and Wei Chong married, he immediately married the Wei family and gave his daughter Princess Fengning to Wei Yuanzhao, the youngest son of Wei Xiaokuan, Wei Yuanzhao. King Yang Guang of Jin asked for his son to marry the Wei family as a concubine, and the prince Yang Yong even married his daughter Princess Fengning to the Wei family. Wei Shikang became the only minister among the four general managers who was not the prince of the royal family.
Yi Feng also knew about the Grand Tutor Li Mansion and the Grand Tutor Yu Mansion. They are also the top family of the Sui Dynasty. The Grand Tutor Li Mansion refers to the Grand Tutor Li Mu family and the Grand Tutor Yu Yi family who were named the Third Duke after the founding of the country. These two families were the top wealthy families of the twelve generals of the Eight-Pillar Country in the Western Wei Dynasty. In the Sui Dynasty, not only did they not weaken at all, but they received more rewards because they stood in the right team at the time and became one of the most glorious top family members in Daxing City today. The Grand Tutor Li family had more than 100 children who had obtained officials above the ninth rank. The Grand Tutor Yu Yi and nine sons all held important positions.
However, Yi Feng was not surprised when he heard these names. Not to mention that these families may not necessarily support Yang Yong as firmly as the Gao family. Even if they are all loyal to Yang Yong, there is no need to be surprised. His current public identity is Yang Yong's legitimate son, and Yang Yan is just a concubine. All families support Yang Yong, but they may not necessarily support Yang Yan. Moreover, he does not believe that these families are loyal to Yang Yong.
"Oh, then remember to pay attention to safety." Yi Feng said casually, then pointed to his carriage: "This carriage is good, how much did it cost?"
Yang Yan immediately looked glamorous and said flauntingly: "This is the most popular four-wheeled carriage in Beijing nowadays. It has a price but no market. Now it has money and may not be able to buy it. But if my brother wants it, I will get one for you."
Yi Feng smiled softly, but the flag guards and other side of him couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What brand of your carriage is this?"
"This is a BMW. I also have a Mercedes-Benz, as well as a Land and Mercedes-Benz! It is very comfortable to sit in the city. It is more convenient for Land and Jaguar to run in the suburbs." Yang Yan said proudly. This carriage is indeed hard to find in Beijing now, but he has a total of four, and it is a good car of various performances of different brands. With dozens of good horses in the stable, this is a very worthy thing to show off.
"How much did the four carriages cost?" Yi Feng asked.
"Each car is equipped with four good horses, three thousand stakes per car. If you want it, I will help you with it, and it will be the price."
Yi Feng shook his head.
"This price is really not expensive. Now most people in Beijing want to pick up their carts immediately. Such a good cart is equipped with such a good four horses, but it is far more than three thousand guan."
Yi Feng still shook his head and sighed in his heart that the profit of this business is so high. If he is in Huaihuang, the same configuration will be equipped with four horses for a car, and the price will be at most a thousand guan. When he arrived in the capital, he had already reached three thousand guan. But just this is still a car.
