Chapter 302 The only one who can defeat me is myself
Chapter 3o2
"Your Majesty, is there a banditry problem in Qinghe County?"
Yang Guang was immediately happy. "Don't talk nonsense. Qinghe County is the ancestral home of the Cui family in Qinghe. If there is trouble with bandits, those bandits must also be named Cui."
Yang Qian took a deep breath. How much resentment did the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty have towards the Cui family of Qinghe? Otherwise, he shouldn't have said such words at all.
Yang Guang seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate, his sleeves were slumped behind him, and his eyes were deep.
"Xiao Yangqing's family, what do you think of the aristocratic family?"
Yang Qian lowered his head and replied.
"I only know that the aristocratic families have been inherited for thousands of years and have a profound foundation. Sixty-seven out of ten officials in the world are from the aristocratic families."
"The famous families in the world include the Taiyuan Wang family, Fanyang Lu family, Qinghe Cui family, Boling Cui family, Xingyang Zheng family, Langya Wang family and Langya Yan family, Lanling Xiao family, Hedong Pei family, etc."
Yang Guang nodded slightly. "In Hedong and Shandong, there are many aristocratic families. They established the world with culture, and many officials in the world came from you."
"Although I have the world, these aristocratic families still think highly of themselves. They obey and disobey many of the imperial decrees and do not take me, the co-owner of the world, seriously at all."
"Since the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the late emperors have issued edicts and selected scholars through imperial examinations in order to serve the court. However, many clans and clans are still secretly obstructing..."
Listening to Yang Guang, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he was madly complaining about the noble families in Hedong, Shandong, and Yang Qian was also deeply touched.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the aristocratic families seemed to still be extremely powerful. It was not until the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Song Dynasty that the power of the aristocratic families seemed to gradually disappear and they could no longer control the court.
It seems that during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, overt and covert struggles between the court and the aristocratic families were inevitable.

"I have decided that when I get the Qinghe River, I will order all the noble families in the land east of the river in Shandong to gather here."
"To hold a feast of poetry and poetry that has never been done before or since. We will judge based on talent and works. And you, Xiao Yangqing's family, you are the sharp sword in my hand, pointing at those noble families."
Yang Guang turned his head and looked at Yang Qian and said.
"If you can win, I will reward you generously. If you lose..." Yang Guang did not say what would happen if he lost.
Facing Yang Guang's hesitant expression and his deep gaze.
Yang Qian believed that if Yang Guang had high hopes for him, he would end up not much better if he failed.
Yang Qian took a deep breath, pushed the golden mountain towards Yang Guang and bowed to the ground.
"Your Majesty has treated my Yang family with as much kindness as a mountain. I should do my best to repay His Majesty's kindness."
"Well, I have high hopes for you. Please don't let me down. Just step back..."
Yang Qian bowed respectfully, took a few steps back, then turned around and followed the eunuch away from the high platform.
Yang Guang stood on the high platform and silently looked at Yang Qian's retreating figure. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze.
He murmured in a low voice, "I hope you won't disappoint me..."
There were many ministers accompanying him, but after experiencing today's encounter, Yang Guang felt more and more that Yang Qian might be his trump card.
Master Jizang, who was highly respected by both himself and his father, was driven away by Yang Qian's two poems and quickly found a quiet place to achieve enlightenment.
If we wait until the day of the feast, Xiao Yangqing's family will be able to perform like this today. When I think of the big bosses of those aristocratic families.
Maybe he will be as shocked as today's nobles and nobles. His face is full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. That must be a scene that makes me feel happy.
Yang Qian got off the dragon boat and boarded a thousand-mile boat that slowly moored next to the dragon boat. There was nothing going on, so Yang Qian asked the eunuch if he could be sent to his father's boat.
Naturally, the eunuch would not refuse such a small matter, and immediately ordered the boat that had left the dragon boat to turn around and head towards the direction of Yang Qian's father's boat.
When I arrived at my father Yang Ning's boat, I asked and found out that my father had just been invited by Duke Tang and had already left for Duke Tang's ship.
Fortunately, not far ahead, the thousand-mile boat turned back again. In a short time, it came to the boat of Tang Guogong Li Yuan.
"I have met Third Aunt, but I didn't expect that Mr. Yang had just arrived, and Third Aunt was also here." The person who came forward on the deck was Ma Sanbao, an old acquaintance.
"It turns out to be Brother Sambo. I wonder if Sanniang is here?"
"The Third Lady and the Second Young Master were bored on the boat and had already disembarked. I'm afraid it will take a while before they can come back."
Yang Qian couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He followed Ma Sanbao to the front of the cabin. When he opened the cabin door, he saw his father Yang Ning and Li Yuan sitting leisurely on the couch, with wine and food on the table in front of them.
The two of you were drinking wine and bragging.
"My dear son-in-law came just in time. I am chatting with your father about the interesting things on the dragon boat just now. Haha, come here quickly."
"Qian'er, you have made a big splash again today." Yang Ning stood up and looked at Yang Qian who was saluting him, feeling both pleased and filled with emotion.
This kid has always tried hard to keep a low profile, but his talent is too high-profile.
Even though he, as his father, had taken a lot of blame for him, he could not stop his reputation from growing.

Yang Qian looked at his father's complicated expression and smiled awkwardly.
"Father, I didn't expect this to happen. After all, it's all the fault of the monk named Huiguan. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have had to stand up today."
"Sit down, what a big deal it is. Besides, with the appearance of a young man, you can speak to a generation of eminent monks to the point where you are filled with shame and enlightenment. I am afraid this is something that has never been seen before in all dynasties."
"By the way, dear son-in-law, His Majesty just called you back again. Why?"
"Your Majesty is planning to hold a grand poetry feast after arriving in Qinghe County, so that my son-in-law can prepare well and strive to win the first prize..."
"..." Yang Ning and Li Yuan were both stunned and looked at Yang Qian, who had a worried face.
"His Majesty asked you to win the title? What...what should I do?" Yang Ning couldn't help but frown.
Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a headache.
"After all, it's just because those aristocratic families have angered His Majesty. This northern tour of Zhuojun is just a chance to show off those aristocratic families."
"The reputation of a good son-in-law is far-reaching, and you have done something like this today. Naturally, Your Majesty has high hopes for you."
"It's just that these aristocratic families are full of talented people, and sixty-seven out of ten officials in the court are from these aristocratic families.
I'm afraid it won't be easy for a good son-in-law to win."
"Given your Majesty's temperament of favoring obedience over disobedience, if he is a virtuous son-in-law, that's fine for you to win. But if..."
I saw my father Yang Ning and my father-in-law looking worried and sighing.
On the contrary, it aroused Yang Qian's arrogance. "Father, father-in-law, please rest assured, other Qians may not dare to say anything."
"But when it comes to poetry and poetry, the only one in the world who can defeat me is myself."
