Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 188 Qin Wang Qi Wang
After dismissing Li Yuan, Yang Ming began to prepare to transfer Yuan Wendu and others back to Daxing.

His title will come down soon, and it is still unknown where Jieshi's father will send him. In short, within a year, he is likely to bid farewell to Daxing again.

After the court meeting in Daxing Hall, Yang Guang received his group of confidant ministers in Liangyi Hall.

Now these people, all of them are full of happiness, as the servants of the dragon, it is the time when they are in high spirits.

After Yang Guang asked everyone to sit down, he asked with a smile:
"The matter of Yang Ming's appointment as king has already been preliminarily decided. I think it is appropriate for King Qin. What do you love?"

Yang Su immediately agreed: "There is no one more suitable than King Qin."

What he meant was that King Qi and King Chu were no longer worthy of Yang Ming.

For the change in Renshou Palace, Pei Ju, Yu Wenshu and others agreed that Yang Ming should be the first to make the first contribution, and it was Yang Ming's decisive reaction that stopped the deposed prince Yong in time, which made Liu Shu's contribution fail, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

It's a pity that Yang Ming has nothing to seal, because he is about to become a prince, and the prince is a first-class prince, there is nothing bigger than this.

Pei Juyan said: "This change is entirely due to the King of Qin. I was a step late in responding, and I am ashamed of Your Majesty."

He was even more interesting, so he changed his name to Yang Ming King Qin.

When Yang Jian was alive, all the officials were called Supreme. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, all the officials were called Your Majesty.

Pei Ju's words had the meaning of praising Yang Ming and belittling everyone. If the other party was not Yang Ming but someone else, Yu Wenshu and the others would definitely be unhappy, but if Yang Ming said it, they would have nothing to say.

No matter who you fight with, you can't fight with His Majesty's son.

Yang Yue, this old boy, is now very arrogant, and suddenly he has become the boss of the Ministry of Internal History. He stood up and said to Yang Guang:
"I believe that the King of Hedong should be the King of Qi, the King of Yuzhang should be the King of Qin, and the title of King Jin should not be titled again because His Majesty's jewels are in front of him."

He was purely flattering, meaning that Yang Guang used to be the King of Jin, and after he became the crown prince, it was understandable for Yang Zhao to attack the King of Jin, but Yang Guang is now the emperor, so no one can inherit the title of King of Jin.

One is to reflect Yang Guang's uniqueness, and the other is to imply that no one can be worthy of the title of King Jin.

Yang Hao is the second child, since there is no king of Jin, he will be the king of Qin in terms of seniority.

Yang Yue has already talked about this point, so naturally other people will not have any opinions, and some even secretly regret that they couldn't think of it one step ahead, so that Yang Yue preempted such a beautiful flattery.

What kind of emperor there is, there is what kind of minister, conversely, there is what kind of minister, there is what kind of emperor.

Yang Yue, Guo Yan, and Yu Wenshu are all good flatterers. Yang Guang regards these people as his confidants, and sooner or later he will be praised to the sky.

Brother's flattery, he didn't discuss it with himself in advance, it should be a temporary idea, Yang Su frowned and said:

"Although the seniority is orderly, it is not inappropriate for King Yuzhang to be the King of Qin. However, in the matter of Renshou Palace, King Hedong has the merits of helping the sky, but King Yuzhang has not contributed. Can we change it and make King Hedong the King of Qin? King Yuzhang is King Qi?"

Someone took the lead in speaking for Yang Ming, and Pei Ju quickly echoed:

"Cai Wang Yang Zhiji was able to wake up and react because he was reminded by the King of Hedong. If not, His Majesty would be in danger. I also think that the title of King Hedong should be higher than that of King Yuzhang."

In fact, the title of prince is just a kind of honor. There is no real difference in what your title is, but it can reflect your dignity.

Yang Su and Pei Ju wanted to fight for Yang Ming. It was purely selfish, because they and Yang Ming were related by marriage.

Yang Guang smiled and nodded slightly: "What the two lovers said is exactly what I want."

But in his heart, he was already vigilant. If these two people formed an alliance because of Yang Ming, it would be bad for the court.

But when the two spoke out at the same time, he had to save face.

Only then did Yang Guang remember his father Yang Jian's exhortation that Gao Jiong had to come back when Yang Su was in court.

Don't you, Yang Su, want to get closer to my son?Then I will break you up.

Renshou four years, the third day of August.

After Yang Ming came down to court, Gao Ye from the Ministry of Internal Affairs called him away, saying that His Majesty wanted to see him.

Gao Ye used to serve Yang Guang in Jinwang Mansion, but now he has skyrocketed and become a high-ranking official, tantamount to being the boss of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

There are two high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the other one is also from the Prince Jin's Mansion, so he is not as favored as Takano.

In Liangyi Hall, Yang Guang was sitting behind the case reading the files, while Empress Xiao was teasing the five-year-old Yang Qi with a few court ladies.

Yang Ming's direct sister is Yang Chan, and his direct sister is Yang Qi. Yang Qi in history will become Li Shimin's concubine.

Yan Baoshou's daughter is Concubine Yan De, ranked fourth, and Yang Qi is Concubine Shu among the four concubines, ranked second.

If it hadn't been for the old Yang's family being ruined at that time, Li Shimin would not be qualified to make Yang Ming's own sister a concubine.

After Yang Ming paid his respects to his father, Yang Guang just nodded, indicating that Yang Ming was free, while he continued to bury his head in the file.

"Ming'er, come here quickly," Xiao Shi waved at Yang Ming, and Yang Ming hurried forward, teasing his sister with the maid.

He doesn't know how to coax little girls, so that Yang Qi doesn't dump him at all.

Yang Ming just didn't bother to tease her anymore. Yang Qi was five years old, and he could start a fire and cook in ordinary people's homes.

After chatting with Mrs. Xiao about some household matters, Yang Guang gave a dry cough, signaling the noise in the hall, and asked Yang Qi to be taken down.

"I heard that Dugu Feng'er is in your hands?" Yang Guang said lightly without raising his head.

Yang Ming was shocked immediately, and hurriedly knelt down: "The child makes his own decisions, please forgive me."

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be so unfamiliar." Yang Guang rubbed his sore eyes, raised his head and said, "That child was originally your concubine, if she hadn't been mad, she shouldn't have fallen to this point, and now she is taken in by you. It is destined to enter my Yang family, so it is a good thing to arrange."

Yang Ming nodded: "Grandfather is considerate, but the child is at a loss."

At this time, Empress Xiao came over and helped Yang Ming up: "Get up, don't kneel in front of grandpa and grandma."

Empress Xiao also knew the cause and effect of Renshou Palace, and she was thankful that it was her son, and someone else would not have been able to make arrangements so quickly.

Or that a woman can only rely on her husband and son in her life?

So Empress Xiao felt grateful to Yang Ming in her heart.

Yang Guang smiled and motioned Yang Ming to sit down.

"The matter of your becoming a king will come to fruition in a short time, but my disciples say, don't do it anymore. Of course, my grandfather is not targeting you. Apart from you, Su Wei and Pei Ju will also be kicked out. Wei Wei The king has passed away, so I only retain the position of Nayan, Gao Jiong and Yang Su."

Six Nayan, except for the death of Wei Wang Yang Shuang, just rolled down three, how much do you want others to give you opinions?
There is nothing wrong with keeping Yang Su, but Gao Jiong?

From this point of view, the father intends to bring Gao Jiong back.

Menxia Province, although Nayan is the highest official, but without Nayan, Menxia Province still operates, because the two who do practical things have always been the two servants of the Huangmen, and now they are Pei Ju and Yang Da. will be greatly improved.

"My child has no objection," Yang Ming said hastily.

Yang Guang nodded and continued: "I intend to let Gao Jiong return to the court. In the past two years, without him in the center, the government affairs of the provinces are in chaos. There are some things that only he can do, but the left and right servants are now Yang Su and Su. Wei, it is inconvenient for me to change, what do you think I should give him if he comes back?"

It doesn't matter what to seal, because the biggest role of Gao Jiong's return is to check and balance Yang Su. As long as Gao Jiong can participate in the court meeting, even if he is a fifth-rank official, he can still restrain Yang Su.

This is deterrence.

Historically, Gao Jiong returned to the court again and was granted the title of Taichangqing. Taichang Temple is the first of the eleven temples, and governs the suburban society, Taimiao, Taile, Taiyi, Taibu and other departments.

The power is not small, but if you put Gao Jiong in this position, it is a joke.

In Yang Ming's heart, he planned to keep Gao Jiong, because he thought that he might be able to use him in the future.

So he directly quoted all over the sky, saying: "Mr. Dugu, the important weapon of the country, has no titles in him now. My child thinks that if you think of his meritorious service, you should choose one of the three masters to appease him."

Three divisions?How dare you speak, Yang Guang was also stunned.

Taibao, Taishi, and Taifu were only appointed in the first year of Kaihuang. After the death of the three, these three positions have remained vacant.

This is the highest title for a courtier, and Yang Guang does not intend to let anyone sit in this position at all.

"Nonsense!" Yang Guang said in a deep voice, "Why do you have such ridiculous ideas?"

Yang Mingdao: "The three masters are just honorary titles, they have no real power. Dugu is an important minister of the country. If Grandpa wants to appease him, he can only be reappointed. Dugu Gong, who has no title, stands in the court. Wouldn't it hurt him too much?"

Yang Guang thought it was right, he summoned Gao Jiong back to the court with the intention of dealing with Yang Su, and Gao Jiong was a very stubborn person, if he offered an official randomly, the other party might dare to refuse.

And the reason why he asked Yang Ming was that he wanted to put the matter of recommending Gao Jiong on Yang Ming's head. In this way, a rift could arise between Yang Su and his son, and the alliance between them would be broken.

It's just the third teacher, fame is greater than power, so just give it, if you don't obey, let him take it away.

After thinking for a while, Yang Guang nodded his head: "As you said, make him the Grand Tutor and be the Secretary of the Taifu Temple."

"Father is wise," Yang Ming said in his heart, he is really the Minister of the Taifu Temple, you let someone like Gao Jiong take care of things like sacrifices, music, and medicine?Thank you for thinking it out.

Yang Guang said with a smile: "Gao Jiong and I have always had a rift, and I'm afraid he still bears a grudge against me. How about this, you go there and say that I invited him back."

Yang Ming never imagined that his own father was plotting against him at this very moment. He agreed and was about to resign, but Yang Guang stopped him again:

"One King of Qin, one King of Qi, you and the second child, which one is suitable for you?"

How did it become Qin and Qi?What about Jin?Let you eat?
Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Your child should be the King of Qi."

He couldn't show any intention of competing with the second child, he could only give in a step.

Yang Guang smiled and nodded, waved his hands and said:

"Go ahead and talk to him."
