Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 161 Fengchan Taishan
Pei Ju, who has been Yang Jian's personal secretary for more than 20 years, knows too many secrets.

This kind of person is actually very dangerous. If he fails, he will easily be taken away by the emperor.

It means that before the emperor dies, he will most likely be taken with him so that he can keep his mouth shut forever.

Since he was serving as the emperor's secretary and was in charge of the Ministry of Internal History that drafted and issued imperial edicts, it was impossible for him not to have seen the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

Although Chuan Guo Yuxi would not be easy to use, Yang Jian really used it once.

In the 15th year of Kaihuang, Yang Jian set up an altar to sacrifice to Mount Tai, and used the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

It wasn't Fengchan Taishan, he didn't hold the Fengchan Grand Ceremony, but only published a Fengchan sacrificial article in name, so some of the emperors list of Fengchan Taishan in later generations included him, and some didn't.

In fact, in the tenth year of the founding of the emperor, hundreds of officials came forward one after another to ask Yang Jian to enshrine Zen Taishan. When Yang Jian refused at that time, the reason was "I have little virtue."

So humble, so humble.

According to Sima Qian's "Historical Records Fengchan Shu" and Ban Gu's "Baihu Tongyi", the emperor needs two prerequisites for Fengchan Taishan:
One: In the prosperity of every age, you will be enshrined in Zen, and it will stop when it declines. That is to say, when you are the emperor, the world will be peaceful and prosperous, which is the most basic.

Two: The king is ordered, and if the surname changes, he will be promoted to Mount Tai. In other words, you are the founding emperor who created the country, and you will bring down the world.

Yang Jian met both of these two conditions. First of all, there was the rule of Kaihuang. The current prosperity of the Sui Dynasty is unprecedented. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is really nothing comparable to the Great Sui.

Furthermore, Yang Jian was the founding emperor. Most importantly, he was the emperor who ended the 300-year division of China and once again realized the great unification. Based on this alone, it is more than enough to enshrine Chan Taishan.

But he just didn't hold the ceremony of enshrining Zen, he just said: This is a big matter, how can I be worthy of it, but when I am on a tour to the east, I will sacrifice Taishan ears.

In the end, it is just setting up an altar to worship Mount Tai.

To offer sacrifices to Mount Tai, other jade seals are not qualified enough, and only the Chuanguo jade seal can be placed on top of that sacrificial oration.

The sacrificial oration was drafted by the Ministry of Internal History, and Pei Ju must have seen the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

According to Pei Shuying, the missing corner of the Chuanguo Yuxi was first scratched with a sharp tool, and then lightly tapped on the edge of the scratch to knock it off.

If you can find the broken corner, you will be able to fill it up perfectly.

Pei Ju was later ordered by Yang Jian to investigate this matter, but there was no result. However, in the follow-up secret investigation, he figured out a possibility. Since it was only a possibility, he did not report it to Yang Jian.

The jade seal of Chuanguo was originally in the hands of Gao Wei, the Empress of Qi. Although he passed the throne to his son Gao Heng and became the Supreme Emperor himself, the jade seal was still kept in his hands.

At that time, Luoyang and Jinyang were lost in the battle between Qi and Zhou. Seeing that the situation was over, Gao Wei planned to go south to join the Chen Dynasty, so he asked his son to abdicate the throne to Gao Huang, the king of Rencheng, and ordered Hulu Xiaoqing to give the book of abdication and the imperial jade seal to him. Rencheng Wang Gao Huang sent it over, and let Gao Huang stand in front.

But Hulu Xiaoqing saw the situation clearly and knew that Daqi was finished, so after taking the jade seal, without saying a word, he sent it all the way west to the Northern Zhou Yuwen clan.

Pei Ju believed that Gao Wei actually didn't trust his uncle Gao Huang, that's why he tampered with the jade seal. If Gao Huang could carry it, then he would have a chance to restore it with this broken horn in the future.

But in fact, both Gao Wei and Gao Huang were captured in the end. Yuwen must have pressed Duanjiao's whereabouts back then, but there was no result. In the end, he killed all the men of the Northern Qi Gao clan, and Duanjiao has since disappeared. unknown.

Empress Qi Gao Wei's favorite was Feng Xiaolian, so the latter might know about it, so Gao Yue, the only daughter, might know the whereabouts of Duanjiao.

Of course, all of this is just Pei Ju's inference, because he hasn't found out yet, who the hell is Gao Lande, and who is Gao Lande in?
"It's a very important matter. Grandpa told me that Gao Yue must take care of it. Let's leave the rest alone. He will find a way to continue the investigation,"

Pei Shuying huddled in Yang Ming's arms, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa said that although His Highness is the grandson of the emperor, many secrets of the Central Committee are ultimately out of reach, so let's check indiscriminately. It is easy to attract attention, it is best not to."

Yang Ming nodded. Pei Ju was right. He had no way to investigate this matter. The only thing he could do was to keep an eye on Gao Yue.

If this woman really kept this big secret, she wouldn't be asked so easily.

She won't say it because she knows that as long as she speaks out, she will definitely be silenced.

If you don't talk, you can live.

The brothers Qin Wangjun, Han Wangliang, and Yang Su Yangyue probably knew something inside, maybe more or less than Pei Ju.

So far, it completely makes sense, no wonder a geisha is valued by so many bigwigs, and his affections are involved with Chuanguo Yuxi.

This matter can only be left to Pei Ju. Yang Ming felt that it was not a loss at all for him to call him Mr. Yuezhang.

At least Yang Su and the others would not tell these secrets to Yang Ming.

In order to show respect to Pei Ju, Yang Ming turned around and played poker with Pei Shuying again.

In the days that followed, guests visited the Palace every day, and Yang Ming, who was the protagonist, naturally had to socialize.

The relatives of Lao Yang's family, the relatives of Lao Xiao's family, he can be regarded as all.

He also had a drink with Xiao Yu, the eighth brother of his mother and concubine, who was ranked ninth in Lingyan Pavilion.

Xiao Yu is 28 years old this year. Thanks to his brother-in-law, he has just been promoted to the post of Internal History Sheren, under Pei Ju's management.

He is the same mother and brother of his mother and concubine Xiao Shi, so Xiao Yu still puts on airs of an elder in front of Yang Ming, which is normal, this is his old uncle.

And the old uncle's main wife is also the daughter of Queen Dugu's elder brother Dugu Luo, this Nima is the future uncle of the Sui Dynasty.

"You must be exhausted these few nights, right?" It's purely old-fashioned for an uncle to say such things to his nephew, but Xiao Yu has this kind of personality, a purebred, romantic and aristocratic son.

The evaluation of him in history is: his personality is upright, he is upright, and he is aboveboard.

But Yang Ming felt that these three adjectives had nothing to do with the old uncle.

"I heard that uncle took in a new concubine?" Yang Ming asked with a smile.

Xiao Yu said without hesitation: "You are in your prime, you should live up to your youth."

Why don't you just say that you have strong demand?Yang Ming said with a smile: "Neishi Sheren, from the fifth grade, uncle, don't just focus on youth and forget about business."

"I can't forget, hiccup" Xiao Yu hiccupped and got up slowly: "I won't tell you anymore, uncle will go home to rest."

"By the way," Xiao Yu came to the door, turned around and said, "You can take it easy, there are two months left, and your concubine will come in."

Can you get something else on your mind?Yang Ming was completely speechless to his own uncle.

Yang Yinjiang came in later than Pei Shuying, not because she was a concubine, but because she was calculated according to her birth date.

Zhangchou Taiyi has already changed his words, the previous cross talk was: If this woman is a concubine, she is afraid of causing trouble, but after changing her words: If the eight characters match, the disaster will disappear.

His mouth said everything before and after.

And his Xiangyu to Pei Shuying is: a golden and jade marriage, from the beginning to the end.

Yang Ming no longer believed in this person.

Ten days later, Yang Guang and his wife returned to the East Palace. During this period of time, Yang Zhao drank too much and too much to entertain, and fell ill.

Yang Ming had had a few drinks with his elder brother. To be honest, his elder brother's alcoholism is not very good, and he is easy to get drunk, and he will get drunk every time he drinks.

Although he lost a lot of fame, it also hurt his body step by step.

Yang Ming, on the other hand, was in very good health. He played poker with Pei Shuying every night, and he was still alive and well the next day.

But he also knows that this is because of the glory of youth, and when he gets older, he should really take it easy as the old uncle said.

The second child, Yang Hao, did not know where he had gone, and he hadn't been seen for several days.

The red silk satin hanging in the palace has been removed. Normally, it should be hung for a while, but there is Yang Yinjiang behind, so it must be replaced with a new one as soon as possible.

At noon this day, the newlyweds ate at a table,
During this period, Pei Shuying suddenly asked: "Aren't we still unable to have children? Otherwise, why are you like that?"

Yang Ming nodded: "Grandpa and Auntie have orders, let us wait for brother."

"Oh..." Pei Shuying originally thought she was making way for Yang Yinjiang, the eldest son, but now hearing what Yang Ming said, she smiled relievedly: "I see."

Yang Guang and his wife still like Pei Shuying very much, especially the mother concubine Xiao. After Pei Shuying entered the mansion, she spent most of the day with Concubine Xiao, taking her to meet her relatives, or chatting with her parents, including asking how her room with Yang Ming was going well. no.

Pei Shuying felt very smooth.

The side concubine of the county king has 100 male slaves and 200 female servants according to the system, but Pei Shuying is married according to the etiquette of the main concubine, so she has [-] slaves and maidservants each.

These slaves were prepared by Pei Ju, and they were obedient and obedient servants.

The dowry he gave to his daughter was also very generous, and he also left a mansion for his daughter in Longqingfang. Whoever said that people favor boys over girls, they obviously treat them equally.

The most interesting thing is that Fang Xuanling just sent a letter a few days ago, which was about last year's tax situation. In fact, it is not yet February, and the overall taxation has not yet been completed.

There must have been a shortfall last year in Hedong, and the amount was not small. After all, the children of Hedong who Li Jing led had suffered heavy casualties, and the pension was a huge expense, and Fang Xuanling really had no way to make up for it.

But the Pei family from Hedong made up for it, with 18 guan in money, 11 shi in millet, [-] silk, and [-] mules and horses each.

What is Laozhangren, this is Laozhangren, Pei Ju, who can deal with it!

Yang Ming now wants to see what kind of dowry this Xuangan will prepare for his daughter. Your Hongnong Yang is no worse than Hedong Pei.

After another half month, Yang Hao finally came back, and at the same time, Yang Guang and his wife also returned from the palace.

That night, Yang Ming and Pei Shuying were also called over, and it seemed that something happened again.
