Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 163
Yang Hao was about to return to Jiangdu, but in fact he couldn't wait for a long time.

In Daxing, there are too many people who can suppress him, and he is uncomfortable, but in Jiangdu, he alone can have the final say.

The boss Yang Zhao also knew about the shameless things he did. Before leaving, the three brothers gathered together for a drink. Yang Zhao also persuaded Yang Hao to know how to restrain himself, and Yang Zhao kept nodding.

But Yang Ming knew that the second child's personality was fixed and could not be changed.

Yang Zhao also knew that the second child was trying to put himself off, but he had nothing to do with him. He was a very benevolent elder brother, but he didn't show his prestige in front of his two younger brothers.

But this does not affect the unshakable status of his eldest son.

Historically, the three of them were brothers, and the later Yang Gao was a concubine born to Xiao Shi, the concubine's servant.

A maid is a dowry girl, and the dowry girl is usually selected from among the concubines of the family, but this Xiao family was later made a concubine, so his son's status is not bad, much better than Yang Guang's other concubine sons.

The next day, Yang Hao set off and left Daxing.

In fact, it was time for Yang Ming to leave. He had been here for more than half a year when he came back this time, and he had no reason to delay returning to Jingzhou.

But he also knew that he had to come back next year, because next year was the fourth year of Renshou, and Yang Jian would pass away in this year.

Hanwang Yang Liang will also rebel next year. At that time, the position of the four general managers will be banned, and he doesn't know where Yang Ming will go next.

In the Yuegong Mansion, Yang Ming took Yang Yinjiang to visit Yang Su, and then went to another courtyard to meet Yang Xuangan.

The minister of the Ministry of Rites, the third rank, is equivalent to a senior official at the deputy bu level.

So the current sense of mystery, the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, after inviting his son-in-law Yang Ming to come in, he enthusiastically introduced a few of his friends to him.

One is the general Li Zixiong, the other is Yang Gongdao, the six sons of Guangping Wang Yangxiong, the other is Han Shi'er, the heir of Han Qinhu, the other is Li Mi, Li Xuansui, and several others, all of whom are from the Jingzhao family and have official positions. .

This team is basically the same as the team in the history books when Xuangan rebelled.

Among them, Yang Gongdao is more interesting. As the sixth child in the family, he participated in the Xuangan rebellion, but his elder brother Yang Gongren participated in the suppression of the Xuangan rebellion.

This made Yang Ming somewhat confused. What exactly did he mean?What about hedging?
Han Shi'er is the heir of Han Qinhu, that is, the adoptive son, who was adopted from the old Han family. Han Qinhu has many wives and concubines, but he does not have a son or a half daughter. Obviously, this is his problem.

As for Li Mi, this kid is really talented. According to Yang Yinjiang, uncle Yang Yue valued Li Mi very much, so he put him beside his father to assist him, and his father and Li Mi fell in love with each other and became a confidant.

But Yang Yinjiang also said that Li Mi is very good at talking, and he does things meticulously, without omissions.

After Yang Ming and his wife sat down, Yang Xuan smiled and said:

"As soon as I left, there was a vacancy for the governor of Ezhou. My father suppressed it deliberately, saying that he hoped that His Highness could recommend a candidate."

Yang Su is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and now the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is Pei Ju. It can be said that the people recommended by Yang Ming, as long as they have a decent background, will definitely be accepted.

Yes, in the selection of local officials, the first priority is the origin, preferably Guanzhong people, followed by northerners.

Yang Ming already had a favorite candidate in his heart, Yuan Wendu's younger brother Yuan Chongzai.

Yuan Wendu is now the head of the governor's mansion, and he has a heavy responsibility. Although there will be no more Jingzhou governor next year, Yang Ming will be the prince at that time, and the prince's mansion still needs a long history.

Yuan Chongzai is currently serving as a county magistrate in a place in Hebei, and transferred to a prefectural governor. This is a promotion, he must be happy, and Yuan Wendu will also be grateful for Yang Ming's promotion.

However, he certainly would not say these words in front of so many people, he just nodded and said:
"The king will consider it."

At this time, Han Shi'er smiled and said, "It is said that Your Highness has a close relationship with my cousin?"

This kid is Li Jing's cousin. Although he is an heir, he has the right to inherit.
Right now, he is an alternate official. Once there is a vacancy, he will be a prefect at the beginning. After all, the title is there.

Could it be that he is interested in the governor of Ezhou?Otherwise, why use Li Jing to get close?
Yang Ming nodded and smiled, "Li Jing and I are close friends."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face showed shock, "Friends of the heart?"This is already a very high praise. How can He De be worthy of this sentence for a small county magistrate?

Han Shi'e was even more overjoyed: "My little brother of the pharmacist, you are blessed."

Yang Xuangan seemed to know what Han Shi'er was thinking, or maybe they had talked about it before, so he smiled at Yang Ming:

"Shi'e and I are close friends, and his father went to the Zhu Kingdom to capture a tiger, and he also contributed to the founding of the Sui Dynasty. Your Highness may wish to get closer in the future."

The Duke of Xinyi County and Shangzhu State on Han Qinhu's body are both from the first rank. As for how to call it, it depends on which one he conferred first. Han Qinhu conferred the Shangzhu State first, so everyone is used to calling him Shangzhu Guohan Capture the tiger.

And Shi Wansui is the first title, so he is called Taiping Gong.

Of course, with Yang Ming, they can be called whatever they want, since they are all subordinates anyway.

Yang Ming didn't accept the olive branch that Yang Xuangan threw out for Han Shi'e, but nodded at Han Shi'e with a smile.

As for Yang Yinjiang, who was sitting beside him, she felt ashamed. I'm going back to my mother's house to say goodbye to you today. How about you bring a group of cronies here to make friends with Yang Ming?
That's because I'm still here, so Yang Ming gave you some face. If I wasn't here, I would have scolded you long ago.

After Han Shi'er received Yang Ming's smiling greeting, he was still very happy. After all, he was already acquainted with Yang Ming, not to mention that the other party was Xuangan's son-in-law. In the future, with Xuangan's help to speak, it is still very good to let out opportunities. big.

No one wants to sit idle and eat his salary, even if he wants to, the elders in the clan will keep urging him.

Since Han Shi'e inherited Han Qinhu's branch, he had to let others run the business well, otherwise his second uncle Han Sengshou and third uncle Han Hong would not spare him.

During the period, Yang Ming and Li Mi chatted for a few words. After all, this kid also studied in the Imperial College, and studied under Bao Kai, an assistant teacher of the Imperial College, and Yang Ming studied under the Imperial College doctor Xiao Gai, who was born in the Xiao family in Lanling.

Although Yang Ming had only stayed in the Imperial College for half a year, he still had some conversations with Li Mi.

The Guozijian was under the management of the Guozi Temple, and the teachers below brought students, a total of 21 people, all of whom were descendants of princes and nobles.

When the two of them were chatting, other people couldn't get in their mouths, because they were not talking about knowledge, but about the embarrassing things about those doctoral assistants in the Imperial College.

In the afternoon, Yang Ming and his wife left Yuegong Mansion,

In the carriage, Yang Yinjiang held her forehead and smiled wryly: "That Han Shi'er is too impatient, and so is my father. What is the occasion today, and what is he doing?"

"It's okay, Xuangan is Yuezhang after all, something inappropriate, I won't take it to heart."

Yang Ming really wouldn't take it to heart, Xuangan is a stupid person, and a stupid person has no discernment, but he is actually easy to get along with.

Moreover, Yang Xuangan is famous for his righteousness, otherwise he wouldn't be surrounded by so many Gongqing's children. In such a comparison, Liu Jushi is actually far inferior to Yang Xuangan.

"Do you have a suitable candidate in mind for the post of governor of Ezhou?" Yang Yinjiang knew Yang Ming well. Although she hadn't said a word when she was at her mother's house, she already guessed that Yang Ming had the answer in his mind.

Yang Ming nodded and said: "Yuan Wendu is still capable. He has a younger brother who is only a county magistrate right now, but he can give it a try."

"Since I'm the son of Duke Yuan (Yuan Xiaoze), it's quite suitable for me to serve as a foreign governor," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile, "Should I go?"

Yang Ming was stunned and said, "Where are you going?"

Yang Yinjiang smiled and said, "Ah Yun is waiting for you in Pei's mansion right now, I'll go with you, it's inappropriate."

"There is nothing inappropriate, you are the concubine," Yang Ming said.

Yang Yinjiang shook her head with a smile: "Ah Yun doesn't know how to think about things, but it's hard to guarantee that Pei Ju won't. Well, I know you care about me, so let's go."

After finishing speaking, Yang Yinjiang stopped the carriage, boarded another one, and returned to Prince Jin's mansion ahead of time.

And Yang Ming will go to Pei's mansion to meet Pei Ju.

As soon as he saw Pei Shuying, Yang Ming knew that this girl must have cried a lot, and her eyes were still red and swollen.

She is not as independent as Yang Yinjiang, thinking that she will be separated from her father in the future, and it will be difficult to see each other again, Pei Shuying feels sad for a while.

Pei Xuanji and his wife were also there. After they were seated, Pei Shuying cried again, while Yang Chan coaxed her.

An old fox like Pei Ju also had reddish eyes at this time, secretly wiping away a few tears.

He is such a direct daughter, and he raised her up by himself, so it's no wonder he doesn't feel sorry for her.

"From now on, Ayun will be entrusted to His Highness," Pei Ju said with a sad expression.

Yang Ming nodded: "Don't worry, Father-in-law, I will never let her down."

"Yue Zhang?" Pei Ju couldn't help laughing and said, "I don't dare to presume, so I don't deserve to be called His Highness."

"You deserve it," Yang Ming said solemnly, "I regard Ah Yun as my wife, so naturally I have to call him father-in-law."

Pei Ju smiled, and no longer declined politely, but said: "I will take care of some things, Your Highness, don't worry."

Yang Ming knew he was talking about Gao Yue, but it was hard to say clearly in front of Pei Xuanji and his wife, so he stopped talking.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that my division of administration in the Sui Dynasty is improper, and that there may be major changes in the future. Your Highness should make preparations early."

Now that he is the crown prince Yang Guang's government affairs, Pei Ju will naturally know a lot of inside information, but Yang Ming can't attend the court meeting, so in fact he doesn't know many things.

However, it is clearly recorded in history that after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, there was a major reform, which was to change the three-level system of prefecture, county, and county to a two-level system of county and county. This move would weaken local rights and strengthen imperial power.

Not only that, Yang Guang will also reform the division of power among the provinces and monasteries in the central government, making the imperial power more centralized.

It must be right to do so, but the medicine was too aggressive, which violated the interests of many aristocratic families.

While reminding Yang Ming, Pei Ju was actually preparing himself for this.

An emperor has one mind, he is now working hard to study the prince Yang Guang, and he can respond as soon as he can figure out the opponent's way.

In fact, the same is true for Yang Ming. In the future, he will devote more energy to his father.

I hope that I can play a role, so that the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty that spread to every corner of China will be eliminated invisibly.
