Emperor Sui Yang

Yang Lihua is really angry. Yang Ming inherits the future of their old Yang family. He is the successor of the Sui Dynasty and the future lord of the people. He cannot be made difficult.

"Don't believe this person's words. An outsider magician can't be true to what he says." Yang Lihua noticed that Yang Ming's face was ugly, and hurriedly comforted him softly.

Actually, Yang Ming didn't care very much. Could he not know whether he was suffering or not?

With such a father, I am so miserable.

"My nephew is now the crown prince, and if he wants to inherit the ancestral business in the future, it will be very difficult, like walking on thin ice," Yang Ming said with a smile: "It's not difficult for me, but the world is going to be difficult. Auntie should understand."

Yang Lihua was taken aback, sighed and nodded:

"It's really embarrassing for you. In the old Zhou Dynasty, your grandfather had a different ambition and wanted to seize the throne. At that time, I felt that it was not good. If things are successful, life will be difficult. If things fail, everything will be over. Fortunately, after your grandfather succeeded to the throne, he eradicated the evils and reformed. .”

Yang Ming nodded: "So, this Yuan Tiangang did not miscalculate. State and civil affairs are difficult. My Yang family is in charge of the world. I worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later. My nephew has long been mentally prepared."

Yang Lihua was dumbfounded, and murmured: "It's a good sentence to worry about the world's worries first, and to enjoy the world's joys later. You are the crown prince, and it is my Yang family's good fortune."

Yang Ming didn't stay with Yang Lihua for a long time, and after chatting for a while, he left the princess mansion.

While leaving the palace, he wanted to visit Gao Yue.

The public security situation in the capital right now is extremely poor. This is still the capital, and it is conceivable that other places will definitely be more chaotic.

There is no way, the soldiers have been transferred away, and those local hooligans do not have enough manpower to restrain them, and they are becoming more and more unscrupulous.

Big families are not afraid, because when they go out, they are surrounded by a group of people, but ordinary people have a difficult life.

Before the curfew time every day, every household has its doors and windows closed, afraid of thieves, robbers, children, and women.

Because of the soaring price of food, the business order has become chaotic, and people who have no food to eat will choose to take risks. Therefore, there are more than a dozen murders in the capital almost every day. This is the most chaotic period since the founding of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Xiong is in charge of Jing Zhaoyin, so he should be in charge of this matter, but he is old and his health is not in good condition recently, he has already told Yang Ming that he intends to step down from Jing Zhaoyin's job.

Not everyone can take this position. This is Jing Zhaoyin, the top leader in the capital.

Even Yang Yue's younger brother, Yang Yue, the county magistrate of Cangshan, did not have the qualifications.

Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, there are only a few people who have sat in this position, Duke of Jin Yu Qingze, Su Wei, King of Wei Yang Shuang, Duke of Yishi County Li Yu (the third uncle of Li Mi), and Yang Xiong.

To put it bluntly, someone who is not absolutely reliable will not let you do it.

Right now the whole country is unstable, and the capital is in chaos, so it is impossible not to repeat the code.

Therefore, the person who can take this position must not only be reliable, but also be ruthless. However, there are not many ruthless people in the court at present. Many of the ruthless people during the Kaihuang period have retired, and Yang Yue is far away in Liaodong. Yang Ming can't think of a suitable candidate.

When I saw Gao Yue, I was naturally ashamed, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, Yang Ming spent the whole night, and was late for the court meeting the next day.

Hearing the great victory in Shandong, the ministers were still very excited. In their view, defeating Goguryeo was a sure thing, but Shandong was not necessarily so.

Internal troubles are always more important than foreign troubles, and maintaining stability is the top priority.

After Cui Zhongfang learned that Yang Xiong intends to step down as Jing Zhaoyin, he quickly recommended himself:
"The current situation is unstable. Bandits and bandits are rampant in our capital, which shows that the place is even more ravaged. However, it is not appropriate to build up prisons right now, but we can't let them go. I think that we should arrest a few thorns and behead them as a public example. I am willing to temporarily lead Jing Zhaoyin to maintain the stability of the capital."

In terms of qualifications, this person is definitely enough, but he has two conditions that are not up to the standard. First, Yang Ming thinks the other party is unreliable, and second, you are too old.

You are 73, and Yang Xiong can't handle it anymore, do you want to carry it?

But it's not easy for Yang Ming to refuse directly, he has to save face for others:

"If Mr. Gu'an is willing to take over, Gu will naturally be happy to see him, but you are old and tall, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

"For Your Majesty, to share the worries of the Crown Prince, I should do my best and die," Cui Zhongfang said.

Good obedience, everyone can say it, but not everyone can do it. Gao Yan never said such things, but he practiced it.

Yang Xiong could tell that Yang Ming didn't like it, but he must not let the crown prince talk about it, so he said:
"Cui Gong, don't blame me for speaking too bluntly. At this moment, the position of Jing Zhaoyin still needs to be played by cruel officials. You are kind-hearted and soft-hearted, so don't do these things that offend people."

Cui Zhongfang said: "It's just to deal with some local ruffians, I'm still afraid of offending them?"

Liang Bi, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, said: "The person who takes over this position is going to kill people. When you are old, don't accumulate these karma anymore."

Cui Zhongfang is a Buddhist, and he can see that this position probably has nothing to do with him. The previous one denied you, and the prince's attitude is vague, forget it.

"Mr. Liang is right. Since you want to use cruel officials, shouldn't you send someone from the Ministry of Punishment? But who has the qualifications in the Ministry of Punishment?" Cui Zhongfang did not forget to sarcastically say to the other party.

Sun Chi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is sitting here with no expression on his face. Jing Zhaoyin is the most influential local official in the Sui Dynasty. Jing Zhaoyin is equivalent to the prefect of Jingzhao County. He is also the most powerful and highest-ranking prefect in the world.

As the saying goes, if the fat and water don't flow into the field of outsiders, they will favor the prince and the clan. This position is not for foreigners with surnames.

Yang Ming did consider Liang Wang Yang Hao, but this kid is good at making money, but if he is asked to arrest people and rule them, he is afraid that he will fill his own pockets and only make money, not people.

Yang Hao is also in the main hall right now. He, the General of Zuo Tunwei, did not follow him to the front line, because he knew nothing about leading the army, and he himself did not want to go. He is a prince, so he does not need to be conferred meritorious service.

"Can you do it?" Yang Ming frowned and looked at Yang Hao.

ah?Let me do it?I'm afraid I can't do it?Yang Hao stood up with a face of embarrassment, and said: "I have no experience in governing the country, and I am not familiar with government affairs. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to take on a big responsibility. If I only arrest people and kill people, I can do it, but Jing Zhaoyin does not only arrest people."

You do have self-knowledge, Yang Ming was also happy, and raised his hand to signal the other party to sit down.

Now, everyone could see that the prince didn't have a suitable candidate in mind.

So, the same subordinates left, Li Hun, General of the Right Xiaowei who did not leave, opened his mouth and said:

"Why don't I take it for a try? Wait until His Majesty returns, and then we will decide on a candidate."

He came back from Luoyang, and Xin Shixiong and Zhao Cai under his command went to Liaodong. He is old and doesn't want to follow the expedition. I am the Duke of Ye, so why should I bother?how?Can I be crowned king if I set up a function?
This person is vicious and ruthless enough to attack his own nephew, isn't he ruthless enough?But you are too ruthless, you have no bottom line.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "I will consider it alone, and everyone will discuss it later."

When his father Yang Guang was around, Yang Ming didn't have a good look at some people who didn't like him, but now he has changed after being in prison.

No matter who it is, he has to take care of it. He should not treat people with preferences, and there should be no distinction between good and bad. All the courtiers are the same with him.

Discussions came and went, but in the end there was no reason for it.

After all, this position is too important, and Yang Ming needs to be wary of what his father thinks, that is to say, the person who takes over must also be his father's favorite.

"Forget it, it's temporarily suspended. Let's wait until His Majesty returns." Yang Ming looked at Sun Chi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and said:

"Public security in the capital is temporarily taken over by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Anyone who steals, robs or swindles is a capital crime. Kill a group of people first to suppress the momentum."

Chang Sun Chi nodded: "The minister will make arrangements."

"Let's leave the court," Yang Ming got up and left.

The reason why he didn't want to discuss this position again was because he suddenly thought of a very suitable candidate.

Li Yuan in Jinyang.

Yang Ming hoped to get Li Yuan back as soon as possible, but Li Yuan's vision was too high, and he came back for a Shangshu, but Shangshu doesn't mean that if there is a vacancy, there will be a vacancy.

So, Jing Zhaoyin is the best springboard, do it first when you come back, and talk about it in the future.

But Li Yuan had to wait at least a year before returning to Beijing, so Yang Ming couldn't let someone else occupy this position. Once it was occupied, it would be difficult to move him away if you wanted to.

Is Li Hun a fool?People say that the temporary collar is actually a sloppy eye. If he sits on it, you can see if he is willing to get down.

After returning to the East Palace, Yuan Tiangang was already waiting for him here.

Yang Ming ordered Pei Shuang to bring this person into the palace yesterday, not because of the result of the other person's appearance yesterday, but because this person is too famous in history.

In Fantasy Westward Journey, he has been stuck on the rooftop of Chang'an for many years.

There are no worthless people under the fame, such talents cannot be buried.

"The secretary province set up Taishi Cao, who is in charge of astronomy and calendar, so you can be a supervisor."

Yuan Tiangang originally thought that the prince was looking for him to settle accounts, but he did not expect that it was the official, but he still couldn't let go of his heart.

Because I will be an official under the eyes of the prince from now on, I am afraid that the days to come will be difficult, and I am not as carefree as I used to be.

Seeing that the other party didn't make a sound, Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and said:
"You don't think Gu is discussing with you, do you?"

"No, no, Cao Min would like to go to the Secretary's Department," Yuan Tiangang said hastily.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "But you don't seem to be happy at all?"

Yuan Tiangang said with a bitter face: "The important place in the imperial city, the residence of the nobles, I am afraid that more and more nobles will come to me for reading in the future. If they make a mistake, it will be forever."

Yang Ming smiled: "So I'm afraid of death. If I don't kill you, who would dare to kill you?"

What else could Yuan Tiangang say?People are not discussing with him, this is a favor.

"The grass people thank the prince for his kindness."
