Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 166 Class A and Class B
Renshou three years, the third day of June.

Yang Jian summoned all the officials and held a court meeting in Renshou Palace.

Liang Bi (pi), the imperial historian, played again:

"I eavesdropped on the Zuo Servant shooting, Yue Gong Yang Su, the more fortunate he met, the more powerful he was, the gentry (who has an official position or has been an official) is his disciple, his Majesty, if he regards him as Ah Heng, I will be afraid of his heart Not necessarily Yi Yin."

A Heng is Yi Yin, A Heng is Yi Yin's title, Ah means "reliance", and "Heng" means "maintenance", which together mean "reliance of the country". He was the founding father of the Shang Dynasty and the right minister of the country.

Liang Bi's words mean that you regard Yang Su as the country's reliance, but Yang Su may not be a loyal and virtuous minister like Yi Yin.

The words are not serious, but the deep meaning is very mean and vicious. This is the consistent urine of literati.

What was Yang Jian's reaction?

furious!Furious!
But not against Yang Su, but against Liang Bi.

At the court meeting, in front of everyone, he ordered the guards to whip Liang Bi a few times and questioned him:
"Slandering the minister, are you guilty?"

I do not know the crime, I am not guilty, Liang Pi showed awe-inspiring righteousness, and continued to play:

"Su is good at power and favor, domineering and domineering. In the place of generals, there is no way to kill. On the day when the crown prince and the king of Shu were abolished, all the bureaucrats were shocked, but Su raised his eyebrows and elbows. He was happy to see his appearance and benefited the country. fortunate."

He was talking about Yang Yong and Yang Xiu, meaning that Yang Su was very happy to see them have an accident, and he also implied that Yang Su was looking forward to an accident in the country every day, so that he could take advantage of it to rise to power.

Yang Jian hesitated.

Just at this time, Liu Shu stepped forward again, saying that after taking office as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he looked through the official records of various parties and found that the bureaucrats all over the world were half out of the Yue government, and everyone only respected the Duke of Yue, but did not know the supreme one.

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to intercede for Yang Su.

And Yang Su also knew that this would happen to him sooner or later, so he acted very calmly, saying that he recommended officials, he was also employing people for the Sui Dynasty and selecting talents for the Supreme, and he had absolutely no selfish intentions.

Of course Yang Jian would not blame him, after all, Yang Su has been with him for more than 20 years, and the affection between the monarch and his ministers is still there, but Yang Su's current status is too high, and Yang Jian doesn't like it.

So he said: "Pu She is the prime minister of the country. You can't do small things by yourself, but you can go to the province once every three or five days to comment on major issues."

It means that you don't need to worry about trivial matters in the future, just attend court meetings every now and then and discuss major issues.

So, what is a trivial matter?Recommended officials definitely count.

At this speed, Yang Jian knew that Yang Su would handle it well.

Yang Su accepted it calmly, he had expected this day a long time ago, and he stayed at home sick from then on.

Prince Yang Guang was aware of the crisis and planned to thwart Liu Shu, but he was dissuaded by Pei Ju in time.

Yang Jian's last sentence also affected Su Wei, because Su Wei was the right servant of Shangshu, so he was also thinking, should he also attend court meetings every now and then?
With doubts, Su Wei had just left Renshou Palace when Liu Shu came after him on horseback.

"Yang Su is the only one that Liang Bi is targeting. Don't be overwhelmed, Mr. Pi. We still need to rely on you for the affairs of the court."

Who is Su Wei, one of the four nobles in the early Sui Dynasty, who served as Prince Shaobao, Menxia Shengnayan, Duzhi Shangshu, Dali Temple Minister, Jing Zhaoyin, Yushi Dafu, Minbu Shangshu and Libu Shangshu.

He has done half of the central yamen of the Sui Dynasty, and he has seen through Yang Jian long ago.

So it can be seen that Liu Shu must have been ordered by the Supreme to keep him, otherwise both servants would go home, would they still be doing government affairs?
Prince Yang Guang is a smart man, knowing that his two biggest helpers, A Niang and Yang Su, are gone, so he must be cautious in the future.

So he bowed down deliberately and visited the two military leaders He Ruobi and Shi Wansui, hoping to get closer.

He is still very foresighted, knowing that he should have a good relationship with the military, so at this juncture, it is really inappropriate to agree to the eldest son's request to abolish the concubine, because Yang Zhao's father-in-law, Cui Hongsheng, is still a Hushi general.

However, he made Yu Wenchamin, Yu Wenshu's daughter, Yang Zhao's side concubine.

Pine and fir are the best wood for military ships. In fact, teak is the best choice.

It's a pity that there is no teak in the Sui Dynasty. This thing is distributed in Myanmar and Thailand. At present, the Sui has not introduced it, and it is not even known that teak is the best material for shipbuilding.

It was not until Zheng He's voyages in the Ming Dynasty that this thing was introduced to Yunnan, Guangxi and Fujian, because it is a tropical tree species.

Shipbuilding in the Sui Dynasty was still pine and fir, and the most suitable aniseed materials for transportation were all in Shu. As the most critical port in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Badong County (Fengjie County, Chongqing) became the largest timber distribution center on the Yangtze River waterway.

Timber has always been transported by water if it can be transported, and it is laborious to transport it by land.

Back then, Yang Su built the five-tooth warship, which was located in Padang County.

So Zhou Zhongmou took the approval from the general manager's office, called the transport ship of the Metropolitan Water Administration, and sent his confidants to Padang County to buy wood.

Yang He, as the commander-in-chief's soldier Cao, also participated in it. He didn't understand many things, but fortunately he was willing to learn with his heart. Although he seemed to be in a hurry, he generally handled things properly.

Just as Xiao Mahe was used by Yang Ming to check and balance Li Jing, he would not let Zhou Zhongmou lead the naval affairs alone, so he must arrange for a suitable person to be his assistant.

That evening, Yang Ming specially sent someone to invite Mrs. Shen here.

As soon as Shen Shi entered the inner garden, Yang Yinjiang warmly took her arms: "Your Highness has been waiting for your lady for a long time, come with me."

In fact, Shen didn't know who Yang Yinjiang was at first, so she didn't know how to address her, but judging from her appearance and temperament, she was probably the rumored granddaughter of the Duke of Zhongyue and the concubine of the King of Hedong.

The end is extravagant and unparalleled in appearance.

The Shen family in Jiangling has made a living on water transportation for generations. After Yang Ming became the general manager of Jingzhou, he appointed Shen Lun, the uncle of the wife of the owner of the Shen family, as the county captain of Jiangxia. Reported up.

The Great Sui scientific examination is reported by the governors of various states and counties at the beginning of each year, and then in May, these scholars will be recruited to Beijing for interviews.

Fang Xuanling once broke through Yang Jian.

At present, there are only two subjects in the Sui Dynasty, Xiucai Section and Xiaolian Section. The examination methods are divided into three categories: oral examination, policy examination and essay essay.

After the examination of each subject, it is divided into two grades, A and B, and after admission, officials are awarded according to the grade.

The oral test is to post the text first, and then the oral test. The post is the same question, and it depends on who can answer well.

The strategy test is a temporary question, mostly related to current affairs, so that candidates can explain their countermeasures.

Trial essays are actually essays with propositions. The types include admonitions (exhortations and warnings), inscriptions (self-encouragement and self-policing), praises (praise for merit), Fu (recitation and chant essays), Lun (commentary essays), and praises ( Praise and congratulations), oath (binding oath text) and other styles.

Because it is too complicated, it is called Zawen.

Yang Ming's word "Ming" means self-encouragement, self-discipline, self-encouragement and self-discipline, and it is not taken casually.

If you want to pass these three levels, you must read a lot, not only by rote memorization, but also by knowing the purpose of the article.

Back then, Yang Ming gave Shen a lot of books and asked her to copy them for the children at home to study.

The content of the Sui scientific examination was basically based on those books. Yang Ming quietly opened a back door for them.

But it's a pity that a family of merchants is a family of merchants after all. He can memorize it, but he doesn't understand what it means.

Of the three disciples of the Shen family recommended by Yang Ming, only one got a second grade, which was barely enough.

After careful consideration, the Ministry of Officials originally planned to let the boy go to the Nanman land to be a county magistrate with no rank, but Yang Ming suppressed him, and he followed Yang Gongren's path, and got the boy a Xiangyang County soldier. The Sesame Official of the Ninth Grade.

Yang Gongren, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was the eldest son of Yang Xiong, king of Guangping. Yang Xiong called Yang Jian patriarch, that is, the grandsons of Yang Xiong's great-grandfather brothers, so they belonged to Yang Ming.

My family is easy to talk, so arranging a sesame official is just a matter of raising your hand.

After sitting down, Mrs. Shen looked ashamed. Last year, among the three children in the family, only one barely made it to the first place. It was because of Yang Ming's blessing that he was appointed to Xiangyang. However, this year, Yang Ming still gave the three places in Jiangling County to their family. This made her a little ashamed, and felt that she had owed Yang Ming's cultivation.

Especially the concubine's kindness made her even more ashamed.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Shen Qu is pretty good. Being able to pass the second grade exam is obviously a result of hard work. Learning the sea is boundless can not be achieved overnight, so take your time."

Shen said with a face of shame: "Your Highness praised you, but we are not up to date, and you are ashamed."

"My lady said that," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile as she sat beside her, "No one can lose His Highness's people. Your Highness will teach you to fish. Whether you can catch fish or not depends only on you. If you want to say shame, it is you who lose yourself." people."

Although these words were said with a smile, but Shen was shrewd, and immediately heard that the other party was reminding her of her bad language, so she hurriedly stood up and apologized:

"It's the concubine who said the wrong thing, and I still look to His Highness and Princess Haihan."

Yang Yinjiang smiled and waved her hands: "There's no need to panic, you have to know that His Highness allowed you to enter the inner garden, so he didn't treat you as an outsider. Since you are not an outsider, you don't have to be so restrained."

Shen's heart trembled with fear, the words spoken by the concubine were like a knife, seemingly close, but in fact they had a strong warning meaning.

At this time, Yang Ming said with a smile: "I arranged for Shen Qu to be the soldier of Xiangyang County, but I actually hope that he will go to the Xiangyang Navy to supervise the shipbuilding. I heard that Shen Qu's father is a well-known shipbuilder in Jingzhou?"

Shen quickly nodded: "Returning to Your Highness, our Shen family started with water transport, and most of the disciples in the family are good at sailing boats. Knowing the nature of boats, they naturally know how to build them."

An expert boatman does not refer to an expert who can row a boat with a wooden paddle, but a boat boss who is familiar with the water properties of the Yangtze River, is good at driving, is proficient in management, and understands waterway navigation.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Shen Qu is also married this year, why hasn't he gotten married yet?"

Shen said: "I once had a wife who died of dystocia."

"It turned out to be like this, it's a pity." Yang Yinjiang looked at Yang Ming with regret, "My husband should find a marriage for him."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "There is no suitable candidate."

"Yes." Yang Yinjiang smiled sweetly, looked at Shen Shi and said:
"There is a beauty in the palace, who is from the south of the Yangtze River. She was originally a young lady from a rich family. Unfortunately, her family suffered misfortune and she was reduced to the palace. Her body is pure and clean, and she looks good. I feel sorry for her. Why don't you marry Shen Qu?"

Shen Shi was sensible, and hurriedly got up to thank her.

She herself was a maid in Yang Jun's mansion, the king of Qin, and was rewarded as a concubine to the then head of the family, Shen Xing, and was later promoted to be his wife.

Why did you become a concubine in the first place?Because she has been enjoyed by Yang Jun, she is not a perfect body, and cannot be the main wife for others.

Yang Ming did this, of course, with the intention of spying on Shen Qu, after all, he didn't know this person at all, and he had never even met him.

"A happy event, drink a cup,"

Yang Ming picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised it to Shen, and drank it.

After Shen Shi left, Yang Yinjiang came to Yang Ming's side and said, "The five beauties that Second Brother gave you, which one do you think is suitable?"

Yang Ming said indifferently: "You decide for yourself, either one is fine, but you have to train it well."

"I thought that among the five of them, there would be one you liked?" Yang Yinjiang teased deliberately.

Yang Ming chuckled and didn't answer her.

There is no doubt that those five Jiangnan women are all rare and stunning, Xiaojiabiyu, beautiful and delicious, it can be seen that Yang Hao has vision.

To be precise, Zhang Xiaobao, Tanhualang, has vision.

Yang Ming couldn't be tempted when he saw the color, which made Yang Yinjiang very happy.

In fact, in the Sui Dynasty, especially princes and dukes, regular wives seldom cared about their husbands being promiscuous, because they couldn't control them.

This is a patriarchal society, women's status is too low, and those from bad backgrounds need to rely on men to survive, so they generally don't care what their husbands do outside.

Qin Wangjun was an exception, even a typical one. He was actually poisoned by his wife because of jealousy, which shows how flamboyant he is.

When Yang Yinjiang married, she also brought two concubines with her, not Yang Xuangan's daughter, but Yang Xuanzong's concubine, such concubines, Yang Yinjiang wished Yang Ming could enjoy them sooner.

But other women, Yang Yinjiang was not happy, except Pei Shuying and Chen Shuyi.

She has business to do tonight, so Yang Ming will sleep at Pei Shuying's place.

In the dormitory, a maid named Yin Fuzi was brought to Yang Yinjiang. She was one of the five daughters Yang Ming gave to Yang Ming. She was from Xiuning County, Xin'an County (Huangshan City), Jiangnan. Order, the offender died on the way to exile, and all the women in the family became prostitutes.

Because of her good looks, she was bought by a merchant with rare goods to live in. After several transfers, she fell into the hands of Yang Hao, and she is still unfinished.

A woman like Yin Fuzi is actually a kind of goods, or a gift, which has been trained by the buyer since she was a child, in order to give it to others in the future, so as to achieve a certain purpose.

Because she is the daughter of a guilty minister, she belongs to a humble family, she cannot marry, and can only become someone else's plaything.

It is a very troublesome thing to get out of the humble nationality, but Yang Yinjiang has already dealt with it, and changed her to a good nationality and named her Yin Funu.

"This Palace has already arranged for you. Apart from changing to a good nationality, I also found a marriage for you. In the future, you can also marry and have children like other women."

This is undoubtedly a great favor to a lowly woman, because from now on, she can live like a normal person.

Yin Funv wept bitterly, knelt in front of Yang Yinjiang, and kowtowed non-stop.

"Get up,"

Yang Yinjiang said indifferently: "If you marry from the palace, then this is half of your natal family. If you are bullied or wronged by someone, just come to me, and I will make the decision for you."

Yin Funu was grateful and said: "Princess has a kindness to slaves and servants, and she can't repay her by being an ox or a horse."

"Silly girl, I don't need anything in return from you, I just need to be a good husband and parent from now on,"

As she said that, Yang Yinjiang told about Shen Qu's background. When Yin Funu knew that her future husband was actually a son of a family with an official status, she was even more delighted.

"Come on, take off your clothes and let me see your body," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile.

Taking off her clothes is not a shameful thing for Yin Funu. She has taken off her clothes too many times, and many men have seen her body.

A moment later, naked, she stood in the middle of the bedroom. Yang Yinjiang stretched out her fingers and wiped her body back and forth, turning around and around.

Afterwards, she asked the maid beside her to verify her identity to see if the other party was indeed perfect.

"That's right, she has a very smooth body and very good skin. It's really blessed by the heavens. Even this palace is a little envious."

Yin Funu hurriedly said: "Compared to the concubine, slaves are like fireflies to Haoyue."

Yang Yinjiang smiled and motioned her to put on her clothes: "A woman's first priority is chastity. Remember, from today on, no one is allowed to take off your clothes except your husband, otherwise, you will jump into the well and die." Alright."

"Slaves would rather die than keep their chastity," Yin Funu knelt down again, thanking her for her kindness.

On the day Shen Qu and Yin Funv got married, the couple bowed three times in the direction of the general manager's mansion.

Now the whole of Jiangling knows that the Shen family embraced the big tree of King Hedong, there was an endless stream of congratulators, even the prefect Murong Sanzang went.

The first thing Yuan Chongzai did when he came to Jingzhou was to meet Yang Ming, and then he took office as the governor of Ezhou.

Yang Ming knew in his heart that he didn't have much time to train his subordinates. Most of these people would regard him as a noble person for life. As long as nothing happened to him, they would not change their families.

In early June, Pei Ju wrote.

The letter stated that around March last year, a new servant entered the Yuegong Mansion, a male slave. The reason why Pei Ju focused on this person was because he found out that the other party had been in Hulu Xiaoqing's mansion. He was a groom, and there was a hint of Xiangzhou accent in his accent.

Xiangzhou is also the area around Yecheng, which was the capital of the old Qi, west of Handan and north of Anyang in later generations.

Because of the rebellion of Yuchijiong, the general manager of Xiangzhou, Yang Jian burned Yecheng to ruins in the first year of Kaihuang, and most of the people in the city moved south to Anyang County.

The accent in this area is very easy to recognize, especially Pei Ju.

Does he know who is in Yang Su's house?Yang Ming was dumbfounded, his father-in-law is so sinister, how dare you plant an informant in Yang Su's mansion?

And Hulu Xiaoqing's mansion, there are also your people?

You are Neishi Ling, not the factory owner.
