Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 182
After leaving Gao's mansion, Yang Ming rushed to the Princess's mansion without stopping.

He knew that Yang Lihua was waiting for his reply.

After Yang Lihua learned the answer from Yang Ming, she couldn't help sighing: "What a pity, what a pickle."

"Did he say anything else?" Yang Lihua asked.

Yang Ming shook his head: "Not anymore."

Yang Lihua asked again: "How is his attitude towards you?"

Yang Ming replied, "Very cold."

As expected, Yang Lihua nodded, it seemed that Gao Jiong still hated the prince's faction from the bottom of his heart, even A Niang's favorite grandson was not immune.

Yang Lihua judged that since Yang Su was recruited to serve the sick in Renshou Palace this time, it meant that the latter would not be completely sidelined and would no longer be used.

However, if Yang Su returns to the court, it is hoped that Liu Shu will not be able to check and balance, and will form a posture of the Eastern Palace faction dominating the court, which is not what the Supreme is happy to see.

Yang Ming is still too young to replace Yang Shuang's role, so Gao Jiong is bound to use it again.

I intend to solicit one step ahead of time, but unfortunately the other party is unmoved.

"This Gao Jiong," Yang Lihua sighed and shook her head, looking at Yang Ming: "Will you have dinner here?"

If you ask this question, then you definitely don't plan to keep me anymore, Yang Ming hurriedly said, "Go home and eat."

Yang Lihua nodded and said, "Then I won't see you off."

After all, he left the living room on his own.

Yang Guang stayed in Daxing for less than half a month, and after dealing with some government affairs, he returned to Renshou Palace to serve the sick again.

In other words, for the next period of time, Yang Ming no longer needs to attend the court meeting.

Because no one is hosting.

Yang Ming seldom sleeps in. The reason is that he has no night life and goes to bed very early every night. He wakes up every day when the sky is just slightly bright, and he can't fall asleep anymore.

Anyway, he has a serious job now, although he doesn't have to work from [-] to [-], but it is still necessary to go to Youlingjun Mansion every day.

The yamen of the Right Commander's Mansion is in the imperial city, and the offices of all the important institutions of the Sui Dynasty are in the imperial city.

The imperial city is in the south of the palace city, and the twelve guards are located in the south area of ​​the imperial city, so they are called the Nanya government soldiers, and the left and right habayashi guards of the palace city are called the beiya imperial guards. Great military system.

Although there was no early court during this period, the officials of the various ministries still had to deal with government affairs.

After Yang Ming entered the imperial city, he could see officials in all kinds of official uniforms rushing around.

The businesses of the yamen of the various ministries in the Sui Dynasty were all interoperable, and they had in-depth exchanges with each other. It was impossible to close the doors and do their own things.

Three provinces, six ministries and eleven monasteries have the most arduous government affairs, and often have to work overtime.

On the contrary, the general of the twelve guards is very leisurely, because there is no war at the moment, and the military mansion is idle and trivial, so naturally there are people below to do it.

Don't think that Yang Ming is the general of the right leader, so he can have the final say in the right leader's mansion. In fact, he still has to take into account the opinions of two people.

One is Xue Shixiong, the chief historian, and the other is Sima Li Chen.

These two people have excellent backgrounds, and the families behind them are powerful. Yang Ming is new here and needs to rely on them to do things.

Yang Ming stepped into the general's room, and after sitting down, motioned for Xue and Li to sit down.

The two had met Yang Ming many times before, but today was the first time they were called by Yang Ming to report on official business.

"Yesterday, there was turmoil in Guiyifang. The Chang'an County Government couldn't suppress it. They requested to allocate the Marquis Wu of the Wei Mansion to suppress it. They sent 72 troops and arrested [-] thieves."

The jurisdiction of the Youlingjun Mansion is the [-]th Lane in the southwest of Daxing. The west of the city belongs to Chang'an County. The county government is responsible for maintaining stability, but there are not many people, so when there is a big turmoil, the Wei Mansion needs to help suppress it.

Daxing City only has security in the north, which is good, especially the Jiusan line. This line is full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and there are enough guards and private troops in each house, so there is no safety issue. any problem.

The more you go south, the more chaotic, especially the Lifang near the southern city wall, which is poor and chaotic, and fatal cases often occur.

The real Sui Dynasty is not like in the movies and TV dramas, where dead individuals are taken seriously, and the Yamen will solve the case step by step and catch the real culprit.

The truth is, as long as the dead don't matter, nobody cares.

After all, Li Delin was also a side branch of Longxi. When he just died, didn't the Yamen close the case hastily?If Pei Shuying hadn't been chasing after him, the county government wouldn't have spent so much energy investigating the case.

Yang Ming didn't care about the turmoil, it was actually a conflict of interests between some local gangs, but since it was in his jurisdiction, he still had to ask.

"Are there any casualties?" Yang Ming asked.

Xue Shixiong said: "Wuhou Wei injured seven people, seventeen were killed by the thief, and thirty were injured."

The Wei Mansion was only concerned with repression, and the investigation was the responsibility of the county government. The county government would report to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple if the investigation was unclear.

In some dynasties, the Ministry of Punishment was in charge of Dali Temple, but in the Sui Dynasty, Dali Temple was one of the eleven temples, a completely independent judicial institution, and the Ministry of Punishment could not control others.

Dali Temple is responsible for trial and sentencing, while the Ministry of Punishment is responsible for the review and approval of cases. In case of major cases, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushi Province will jointly try the case, which is the so-called joint trial of the three jurisprudence departments.

The turmoil that happened in Guiyifang last night, why it happened, and how it was sentenced, only the county government knows. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice mainly deal with officials.

"Have you asked the county government? What's the matter?" Yang Ming asked.

Xue Shixiong said: "The county government just came to hear the news this morning. There is no interrogation yet. It was just tortured in the prison last night."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Then what? Is this the answer you gave me?"

Xue Shixiong was taken aback for a moment, thinking what a big deal it was, and it was worth asking you to get to the bottom of it?You are one of the provincial chief officials of the second rank, are you curious about trivial matters?
"The minister has heard some things from hearsay, but he can't count them, so he dare not report them," Xue Shixiong said hastily.

Yang Ming remained silent, waiting for the other party to speak.

Xue Shixiong continued: "It should be some local rogues, drunk and rioting. After the county government arrived quickly, they wanted to arrest the leader, but they were blocked and moved, so that the situation expanded and caused large-scale turmoil."

This is in the capital, and the local ruffians dare to fight the government. Although Yang Ming had heard from Li Jing before that the law and order in the south of Daxing was extremely poor, he never thought that the ruffians would be so strong under the emperor's feet?
"Say hello to the Chang'an county government. Don't these people like to fight? Don't interrogate them. They will all be dispatched to the frontier as guards."

Xue Shixiong was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Li Chen beside him. The two of them never thought that Yang Ming would be so decisive in handling such incidents.

Although the Youlingjun Mansion can't control the Chang'an County Yamen, the people under the door have the right to deny and refute all matters. That is to say, Yang Ming has the right to give opinions on anything.

Yang Zichong, the magistrate of Chang'an County, is also Yang Ming's family. What Yang Ming said is still very useful to him.

Xue Shixiong said: "Your servant must bring the words with you."

Next, Yang Ming looked at Li Chen again:
"Zhongbao (Li Chen's character) has been working as Sima for two years. You have been in charge of the affairs of the guards. The turmoil like last night should not have happened. You should prevent it from happening. How about it? You are in the southwest recently. Fifteen Square will crack down on a group of people, as long as they have a criminal record, they will all be cleaned up, so that they will have a long memory."

Li Chen hurriedly said: "Your servant understands that what happened last night was my fault."

"I don't blame you," Yang Ming said with a smile, "The capital is densely populated and there are many unemployed people. Naturally, there will be troubles from time to time, but the turmoil like last night, I don't want it to happen again."

Li Chen said: "Your servant understands that this kind of incident will never happen again."

"Okay, you all go down," Yang Ming waved to the two of them.

For these two people, Yang Ming should not be too close. He should keep a proper distance. He is a superior. If he is too close to his subordinates, it will cause them to not do things well.

But it can't be too unfamiliar and strict, otherwise the two of them will be at odds with him, and they will inevitably do things in the opposite direction.

According to what Yang Ming heard, these two people were not supported by Yang Shuang. Among them, Xue Shixiong had military merits and was a cavalry general of the Youyu Forest Guard, and attacked his father's Duke Wuyin.

This person should be regarded as Yang Jian's person.

As for Li Chen, he is the second son of Li An. Li An's title was taken over by the eldest son Li Qiong, but Li Chen and Li Xiaogong are brothers from the same mother. The eldest Li Qiong was born to Li An's first wife. It was born by the second wife.

Li Qiong seemed to have a problem with his personality, so he couldn't be an official. Yang Ming guessed what the problem was because of his bad image or disability.

So it was Li Qiong who took over the title, but Li Chen was the one who became an official.

As for Li Xiaogong, he is only 14 years old this year, but this kid is already married, and he is more competitive than Li Jiancheng.

He married Dou Dashi, the granddaughter of Yang Jian's brother-in-law Dou Rongding.

Dou Dashi's father, Dou Jing (jin), is Yang Jian's nephew, and he is a brother of Dou Kang, the general of Youyu Linwei, and Dou Qing, the prefect of Hedong County.

Li An and Li Yuan are really close relatives to the Fufeng Dou family, and Li Yuan's daughter-in-law is also from the Dou family.

In Fufeng County, that is, in the Xianyang area, Lao Dou's family is the authentic Guanzhong Group.

Xue Shixiong and Li Chen both had excellent backgrounds, and Yang Ming often had to give them some face.

Thinking of Jiancheng, Yang Ming remembered that he had returned to Beijing this time. It seemed that he had not met Li Yuan, but he had met Li Yuan's wife, Dou Shi, because Dou Shi had been to the palace several times to visit Yang Yinjiang.

Anyway, the military mansion was fine, so Yang Ming simply left the imperial city, intending to go to Tang Guogong's mansion to take a look at Jiancheng and Shimin.

Jian Jian is 16 years old, and the marriage has not yet begun. Yang Ming is very interested in this aspect, and it is also very interesting to think that he can ridicule Jian Jian.

This kid once lived in Yang Ming's Qingshan house for a while. He was very lecherous when he was a child, but now he is an adult, so why doesn't he plan to marry a wife?
Yang Ming didn't need the butler to lead the way, and walked directly into Tang Gong's mansion.

From a distance, he saw a little kid playing with a homemade wooden bow in the yard.

From the looks of it, it should be the slug back then, Li Shimin.

"Hey, come here, kid," Yang Ming smiled and hooked his hands at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin frowned, and using a branch as an arrow, he turned his wooden bow and pointed it at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was taken aback, what a boy, he was rebellious when he was young.
