Emperor Sui Yang

That's all right now, the post of Shangshu, Minister of Civil Affairs, is vacant.

For such a position, there are quite a few people below, with blood in their eyes, Shang Shu is basically equivalent to half a prime minister, who wouldn't want to do it?And it's the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The Minbu is the Ministry of Households. At the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, it was called the Duzhibu, and later changed to the Minbu. Historically, it was changed to the Ministry of Households because of the need to avoid the taboo of Li Shimin’s name. If there was no such person as Li Shimin, then it would be Always called the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Wei Chong's death had a great impact, so Yang Guang ordered that the competition in the suburbs of Beijing be postponed for a few days, because officials from all ministries of the capital would go to Wei's mansion to express their condolences, and Yang Ming had to go too.

After all, Wei Chong has been in this position for many years, and Jingzhao Wei's is now in the rising period of the family business, and the result is the most burp, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the family .

Yang Ming could almost foresee that for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there would be bloody battles.

This boy Li Baiyao was so frightened that he was trembling when he saw Yang Ming in the palace.

"Don't worry, your father knows about you. Wei Ting has said everything, and your father didn't blame you." Yang Ming comforted the other party and said, "Actually, you did the right thing, but the luck of the Wei family is not good. It's too much."

It's really too far back, one accidentally fell to death, and the other died suddenly, it's really bizarre.

Princess Qi in history did die early, and Yang Ming never thought that she would die in such a way.

As for the matter of Yang Hao's adultery, Yang Guang and Empress Xiao will definitely suppress it, but they may not be able to suppress it. After all, too many people were killed, and Wei Chong died in Shangshu Province again. This matter will definitely spread.

At most, everyone will not say it publicly in the future, but they are afraid that their mouths will smile crookedly behind their backs.

Regarding the fact that Li Baiyao leaked it to Wei Ting, Yang Guang did not suspect Yang Ming, because it was Wei Ting who took the initiative to find him, not Wei Ting who Li Baiyao was looking for.

The two had a good personal relationship, Yang Guang knew about it, and Yang Guang quite recognized Li Baiyao's character, because he had recruited Li Baiyao in the early years, but the boy didn't agree at the time.

Wei Ting would not doubt Li Baiyao even more in his heart, because this kind of scandal, he is not a good friend for playing tricks, but he will not tell you that others would like to hide away and watch jokes, so he treats Li Baiyao in fact. Be grateful.

For example, your wife has a room with another man, a friend finds out, and then tells you, isn't that interesting?You can't think that your friend is uneasy and kind, can you?

For the next two days, the entire capital was discussing this matter behind their backs, and more people were preparing to fight for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Princess Yang Yinjiang recommended someone to Yang Ming.

It's not someone else, brother Xuangan is also.

"Can he do it?" Yang Ming let the maid take off his clothes and got into bed. As for his son Yang Rui, he was taken care of by the wet nurse in the cubicle.

Yang Yinjiang entangled her and said, "You have to try whether you can do it or not. This position is too important to be left in the hands of others."

Historically, Yang Xuangan was a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but it was arranged by Yang Guang only after Yang Su died and attacked the Duke of Chu.

In the past few years, Xuangan's work has not been very stable. First he was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and later he became the minister of the Ministry of Officials. After Gao Jiong was dismissed, he thought about going to Taichang Temple to take over.

He didn't even think about it, Taichang Temple is the head of the Eleven Temples, can he succeed?
At present, he is still hanging in the Ministry of Officials, but he is relatively slack in work, because he and Yang Gongren, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, are not very good at dealing with each other.

There is not much difference in age between these two people, and they have had conflicts since they were young, and no one can understand the other, which is resentment, but not enmity.

Yang Ming hugged his wife and murmured:
"It's not easy to judge the position now. It mainly depends on the meaning of the father. In the current Shangshu Province, there is only one left servant of Su Wei, and the right servant who is empty. The father probably does not intend to release him. Then Whoever manages the Ministry of Civil Affairs will involve many interests, and the water will be very deep."

The Ministry of Officials is Yang Gongren, a faction of the clan, which can also be considered a princeling.

Niu Hong, from the Ministry of Rites, is a veteran of the founding emperor sect.

Yu Wenkai from the Ministry of Industry, a member of Yang Guang.

Yu Wenbi of the Ministry of Punishment, a member of the Northern Zhou Dynasty elder sect, Yang Lihua.

Li Yuantong of the Ministry of War, this is Yang Jian's retainer, his father Li Jing is a retainer of Emperor Taizu Yang Zhong, he was born with an affair with a maidservant in Yang Zhong's mansion, this man saved Yang Jian's life when he was young, where During Kaihuang's reign, he served as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but later became the head of the palace of the previous Qin King Yang Jun. He was implicated and was dismissed from office.

These five people belong to different factions, and Wei Chong is a princeling.

So it is very likely that the princelings will fill this position in the future.

As for Yang Xuangan, everyone knows that he is the father-in-law of the King of Qin, and has nothing to do with Prince Mao, so the possibility of becoming a leader is zero.

Yang Ming didn't want to hurt his wife, so he said with a smile: "It's okay to talk about other things, just don't think about it, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I even think that the person who fills this position in the future is likely to be an unknown and shocking candidate. "

Yang Yinjiang was stunned: "Why do you think so?"

Her mouth is talking, but her hands under the quilt are not honest at all.

Yang Ming resisted and said:
"Everyone is arguing. If you give this, you're not satisfied with that. If you give that, you're not happy with this. So it's better to just give it to someone outside the circle. With Father's wise means, he can really do it."

Yang Yinjiang pouted:
"But you still have to mention my father's matter at the court meeting. You have never spoken for him. Father has always had a problem in his heart. As long as you mention it, he can go up. He has nothing to complain about."

"Of course, everything is possible," Yang Ming said, "Maybe Xuangan can really be used, maybe it is."

Next, the couple played Tetris for a while.

The next day, Chen Shuyi came to look for Yang Ming early, saying that it was her uncle Chen Shuda who came to pay a visit. In fact, Chen Shuda also came several times before, but Yang Ming was not there.

Chen Shuda is a talented person. Historically, among Tang Taizong's talented people, being able to be a minister of the Ministry of Rites and even be granted the title of Duke is not something that can be done by luck.

Moreover, Yang Ming also knew that this person and Ouyang Xun were good friends, but unfortunately Ouyang Xun's calligraphy was not worth much in Sui Dynasty, or in other words, it was not worth much in Yang Ming's place.

Because Yang Ming can definitely invite the other party to the palace, not to mention writing a letter, just copying the scriptures once.

And how could Yang Ming not give Chen Shuyi face?
In the living room of the inner garden, only those who are close can enter.

After Chen Shuda saw Yang Ming, he was flattered and hurriedly saluted.

In front of Chen Shuyi, Yang Ming was still very good at coming, so he hurried forward to support her, and said with a smile:
"They are all our own people, so we don't need to see outsiders."

In a word, Chen Shuda seemed to have taken a reassurance. After all, he was able to become an official because of his nepotism, and because of this, he was often looked down upon in the imperial city.

But if he can get close to the big tree like King Qin, no one will dare to mock him in the imperial city from now on.

Chen Shuyi was also there, poured a pot of tea for her uncle, then sat aside and said:
"I haven't seen my uncle for a long time. Are you still used to it in Taichang Temple recently?"

Speaking, Chen Shuyi winked at the other party, Chen Shuda immediately understood, smiled embarrassedly, lowered his head and sighed softly.

In fact, since Gao Jiong was dismissed from office, he has had a hard time in Taichang Temple. Although everyone knows that he has two nieces who are His Majesty's favorite concubines, no one takes it seriously.

Who can work in the imperial city without a backer?Especially since he is still from the old royal family, he will definitely be squeezed out,

Chen Shuyi also knew about this situation, so she hinted to him that when she saw Yang Ming, she quickly made a request.

Seeing this, Yang Ming immediately knew what was going on, and said with a smile:

"Taichang Temple has been working for more than half a year, and it should be moved. Shuyi is my concubine, so Zi Cong (Chen Shuda) is my family, in the imperial city, below the fifth rank. , as long as I mention it, my father will not object to anything, wherever Zicong likes to go, we will go there this time."

That is to say, if Yang Ming dared to say this, in fact, there is no need to disturb Yang Guang for the official positions of the seventh and eighth rank. It is just a matter of saying hello. Poor, the grade is high, but it has no power, and it is easier to squeeze people in.

But this time, Yang Ming deliberately let the other party enter the Shangshu Province, because that is the real core department of the Sui Dynasty.

Most of the officials in Shangshu Province had to be nodded by Yang Guang.

Even though they said so, Chen Shuda definitely didn't dare to make a request. In his opinion, he could go anywhere. Anyway, this time, King Qin personally recommended him, so no one will crowd out and ridicule him, so that's fine.

"But according to His Highness' arrangement, I will go wherever you ask me to go."

Chen Shuyi smiled, looked at Yang Ming, and blinked.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "Just wait, once there is a vacancy in the sixth department, you will go in."

Shang Shusheng, one radish and one pit, it’s not that you can plug people at any time if you want to. The only one who has this ability is Yang Guang.

As for the Yang Guangsai people, they did not force them, but added a few new positions, and then filled them in. In short, there is a skill in everything.

Chen Shuda knew that he should leave, and after getting up to thank him, he was about to leave.

Yang Ming raised his hand and said, "I regard Shuyi as my wife. From now on, Zi Cong can come to the palace frequently, and the concierge will say hello. If he comes again in the future, there is no need to notify him."

This honor makes Chen Shuda even more excited than entering the Shangshu Province. If he can come to Qin Palace often, his superiors will not dare to show face to him, let alone a colleague.

With Yang Ming as his backer, he could truly stand firm in the capital.

So he thanked him a lot, and even cried excitedly. Chen Shuyi hurriedly coaxed him and sent him out of the palace.

From Yang Ming's point of view, Chen Shuda and his wife contributed to Wang Zhuoling's matter, and Yang Ming also heard that his father Yang Guang has been living in Wang Zhuoling's bedroom recently, so he is very favored at the moment.

Pillow wind is a terrible thing, it is impossible for Yang Ming not to pay attention to it, but fortunately, at least three of the father's favorite concubines will help Yang Ming speak.

As for the mother's empress Xiao, it goes without saying, but Yang Ming dare not be careless, and the relationship with his mother must be maintained.

After Chen Shuyi came back, she sat on Yang Ming's lap coquettishly, and said with a smile:
"thank you."

Yang Ming slapped the other party's butt vigorously, and said with a smile, "See how you thank me."

"Of course I let you pick it." Chen Shuyi's cold lips sealed Yang Ming's mouth.

This is how she is, when desire comes up, it doesn't matter where she is.
