Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 216 Yang Guang's Means

In the early morning of the next day, the officials gathered under the steps outside the Daxing Hall, whispering to each other.

Xiao Yu, Minister of Internal History, stood on the steps, no matter how everyone asked, he kept silent, anyway, today is the day to stop the court.

During this period, Yang Ming noticed Su Wei's gaze, and saw that the other party nodded slightly at him.

Yang Ming could see that Su Wei wasn't greeting him, but probably hinting at himself.

It seems that Gao Jiong has already met and discussed with the other party, and Yang Ming himself went to Prince Ander's Mansion last night to meet Yang Xiong.

Yang Xiong said at the time that he would never approve of the excavation of the canal, but Yang Ming was not at ease. Who would have never been a fool if he could enter the Daxing Hall to participate in the court meeting?

Yang Ming would not trust anyone completely, including his father-in-law, Pei Ju.

Many people are asking Yu Wenkai if his brain is cramped, so he dared to bring up such things as digging canals at the court meeting.

Yu Wenkai didn't explain anything, those who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand are useless to explain.

And Yang Ming also leaned over and probably asked about the location selection in Luoyang.

The location has been determined, it is eighteen miles west of the current Luoyang City, with Mang Mountain in the north and Yique in the south. Yique is Longmen Mountain, and the Longmen Grottoes are located here.

But Yu Wenkai also whispered to Yang Ming that Luoyang's future imperial city, His Majesty has also set a general framework, requiring that exotic materials and stones from the south of the river and north of the Wuling Mountains be shipped to Luoyang. Beast, Yishiyuanyuan.

Yang Ming smiled and nodded, but he scolded his father in his heart.

What he said was really sweet, be frugal, frugal, now Yang Ming understands, what the old man means is that you should be frugal, but not including others.

Regarding the drawing of Tokyo Luoyang, Yu Wenkai has also produced it here, but it cannot be shown to Yang Ming now.

Yang Ming knew what size Luoyang would be without looking.

Since there is no court meeting, let's go back to our headquarters.

Yang Su went to Shangshu Province, and Pei Ju went to the Ministry of War. It was not convenient for Yang Ming to meet them in the imperial city, so he had to go home early. As for the military mansion, he just went around for a while.

The two generals of You Wuwei and Shi Sima, the leader of the right army, are not his people. It is not easy for Yang Ming to change, so he doesn't bother to stay there.

Yang Yinjiang is already out of confinement. During her confinement period, the servants of the palace inevitably became a little lazy, so Yang Yinjiang has been cleaning them up these days.

Yang Ming didn't have to worry about the child with a wet nurse.

Lunch is at Li Xiuqing's place.

Yang Ming wiped his mouth after eating, and asked curiously: "Mrs. Dou, now, only have four sons and one daughter?"

Li Xiuqing nodded obediently: "In the third year of Renshou, Sanhu (Li Yuanji's nickname) was born, and it has disappeared since then."

Hiss. That's strange. Yang Ming was quite puzzled. Princess Pingyang is Li Yuan's third daughter, but she is actually the eldest daughter. According to historical records, the Dou family gave birth to a daughter.

Otherwise, why is the family so famous in history, but Li Yuan's other daughters are not good, because they are descended from the direct line.

But right now, it seems that there is no Princess Pingyang anymore. Jiancheng Shimin and the others only have one sister, Li Xiuqing in front of him.

Yang Ming asked suspiciously: "That is to say, Tang Guogong and his wife, you are the only daughter?"

Li Xiuqing was quite surprised and said: "Don't you know, Your Highness? Grandpa and Grandpa, I am the only daughter."

That's not right, where is Li Xiuning?Shouldn't she be Jiancheng's sister, Shimin's sister?Calculating his age, he should be fourteen or fifteen years old.

Or how to pair with Chai Shao?

Yang Ming couldn't figure it out, so he said, "I know Jiancheng's nickname, it's called Bishamon, and Sanhu is Yuanji, right? Yuanji's real name was Li Jie, but he changed it later, what about the others?"

Li Yuanji should be three years old this year. The reason why this kid changed his name was because of a rather miserable experience.

When he was just born, he was named Li Jie, and his appearance was extremely ugly. His mother, Dou, asked the maid to throw him away. After Li Yuan knew about it, he quickly brought his son back and changed his name to Yuan Ji.

Sounds weird, but it's true.

While making tea for Yang Ming, Li Xiuqing said, "Shimin's small characters are Piluzha, and Xuanba's small characters are great virtues."

"What about you?" Yang Ming asked again.

Li Xiuqing frowned and said, "Haven't Your Highness read my post?"

Before the husband and wife get married, they will exchange wedding posts with each other, which record the birth date and other characters, including nicknames.

Yang Ming really didn't look at it at the time, so he said embarrassingly: "I didn't have time to look at it, now you can find me to take a look."

Li Xiuqing pouted pretending to be dissatisfied, took out the wedding post from the box, and handed it to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming was dumbfounded.

The post clearly states that Li Xiuqing's real name is Li Xiuning, and her nickname is Ah Nu.

Yang Ming was dumbfounded and said, "Then is your name Li Xiuqing, or Li Xiuning?"

"Aren't they all the same?" Li Xiuqing looked at Yang Ming with a strange expression, what's wrong with him?Why do you care so much about a name?

Brother Chai, brother Chai, I'm sorry, Yang Ming can't laugh or cry.

How did you marry her back?Personality and appearance don't match?
The current Li Xiuqing, a little bird dependent and fragile, is completely different from the Princess Pingyang recorded in the history books.

That night, Yang Ming played poker with her without hesitation.

This was also the first time that Li Xiuqing had sex with Yang Ming after she came to the palace.

After Yang Ming left the palace in the early morning and went to the imperial city, Princess Yang Yinjiang received the news that Li Xiuqing was popular.

Today's court meeting will be held as usual.

Everyone was suffocated and wanted to talk, but Yang Guang didn't mention the canal digging at all.

If people don't mention it, it doesn't mean there is no action.

Qin Wang Yang Ming, Yue Gong Yang Su, Yu Wenkai, and Yang Da will prepare immediately, and will leave Beijing in three days to supervise Tokyo Construction.

Pei Ju was sent to Zhangye, that is, Zhangye City, Gansu Province, to be responsible for supervising trade with the countries of the Western Regions, and at the same time responsible for managing the Western Regions.

Li Yuantong, Duke of Wan'an County, took over as Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Yang Xiong, king of Ande, was removed from the post of General Youwei, crowned prince Taifu, concurrently serving as Jingzhao Yin, and promoted to Guanwang.

Lai Huer, who returned to the court, took over as the general of the right guard and the general of the hussars.

Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, was canonized as Shangshu Ling, and Su Wei Jin was named Shangshu Zuo Pushe.

As for Su Weikong's right shot, no one answered
This is tough
Yang Ming subconsciously glanced at Gao Jiong, and Gao Jiong, who saw the emperor's intentions, also had a gloomy expression.

It is not a trivial matter for the top leaders of the Sui Dynasty to move their positions. Such an arrangement must have a purpose.

First of all, Yang Ming was sent away. It seemed that Prince Yang Zhao had already conveyed Yang Ming's attitude to Emperor Yang Guang.

And Yang Guang backhanded Yang Su with a huge sweetener. Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, only Yang Guang held the position of Shang Shuling for a short time when he went south to destroy Chen, and now finally there is a second person.

That is to say, Yang Su is now the real head of all officials, the boss of Shangshu Province.

Sweetness is not free, you have to know how to be grateful, in this way, Yang Su will basically be shaken in the matter of digging ditches.

Pei Ju was also released. Although he was doing business, he undoubtedly wanted to dismiss him. After all, Pei Ju opposed the digging of the canal, and Pei Ju's position in the court was guaranteed.

The same goes for Yang Xiong's side, he was directly promoted to be a one-word prince. If he objected again, Yang Guang would be able to give him the prince by turning around.

This is kindness. If you don't know how to be grateful, you are powerful. This is the combination of kindness and might.

Su Wei is even more powerful, because his former Shangshu Youpushe was in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs were the mainstay of the project, and Su Wei turned to Zuopushe. In charge of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War.

It looks like you have been promoted, but it is actually an eyesore, and you are temporarily transferred away.

Now, Yang Guang can directly intervene in the three ministries of punishment, civil affairs, and labor shot by the right servant.

Absolutely!

You disagree?It's easy to say, I will dismantle you all and let you fight with me!

The remaining Gao Jiong and Niu Hong were unable to support themselves, and they basically did not pose a threat.

I don't know if my father has started to be wary of himself, but at the court meeting, Yang Guang's attitude towards him was still the same as usual.
"My son went to Luoyang, remember to take care of people's livelihood, be frugal in everything, don't let me down."

Is what you said ironic?

What else could Yang Ming say?Anyway, you can't find any faults with what people said, the excavation of the canal was proposed by Yu Wenkai, and Yang Guang refuted it on the spot, so the emperor didn't open his mouth, and no one would mention this matter.

Gao Jiong's face was ashen. He had already guessed that after Yang Ming left, someone would definitely bring up this canal again.

Yu Wenkai went to Luoyang, so who will stand up next time?
After Gao Jiong's eyes wandered around Yu Wenshu, Zhang Heng, Pei Yun and others, he shook his head helplessly.

After the meeting was gone, Su Wei came over unexpectedly, walked side by side with Yang Ming, and whispered without looking sideways:
"I heard that Yang Yue still owes the eldest princess a punishment?"

Yang Ming nodded: "There is such a thing."

"In a short time, don't let this person go up to court, as long as I can delay it," Su Wei sped up and walked away.

Yang Ming understood that Yang Yue was quick-spoken and resourceful, and Su Wei was worried that Yang Yue would be the next one who suggested digging a canal.

And Yang Yue is the father's absolute confidant, and there is no one more suitable for bickering. This old boy is the number one troll in the Sui Dynasty.

So after Yang Ming left the palace, he went to the eldest princess' mansion.

"Have you beaten to death?" Yang Lihua said in astonishment, "Don't you have a good relationship with him?"

Yang Ming said: "One moment, another moment, now he can't get out of bed."

"I've also heard about the canal." Yang Lihua nodded: "It's inconvenient for me to mention this in front of Amo, otherwise he will be wary of me, but you can rest assured that the three of you will deal with Yang Yue. Yue, he must never even think about going out."

"Sigh..." Yang Ming sighed, "Although Su Wei said so, I don't think he will be able to delay for long. My aunt has a chance, and she will help me persuade Gao Jiong not to let him get ahead."

"Mr. Dugu has a very close relationship with me. He still listens to what I say," Yang Lihua instructed again:

"You want to accomplish anything in the future, remember not to disagree with Amo again, remember. Without you, Grandpa, you are nothing."

After a long silence, Yang Ming nodded.
