Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 734
Next year, Yang Rui will be 15 years old, and his marriage can be put on the agenda.

Someone from the Wei family also brought it up in the court, meaning that they can prepare in advance and get married as soon as they reach the age of next year, which is actually a marriage contract.

Everyone is afraid of long nights and many dreams. We all have been through it and know that a man’s interest in women will change. If he likes you today, he may not like you tomorrow.

Who can guarantee that Yang Rui won't fall in love with someone else?After all, Wei Gui was already 20 years old. If it hadn't been known throughout the court that King Qin was attracted to her, it would have been very embarrassing in the Sui Dynasty to not marry at this age.

Of course, her age was artificially changed by three years, and the Wei family announced that she was seventeen years old.

Changsun Wuji has long since reached the age of marrying a wife. He is 23 this year, but unfortunately, he is not yet. Firstly, he is a child without a father, and no one in the family can make the decision. Furthermore, the clan has found a few for him. But Yang Ming disagreed.

Why?They were all looking for Xianbei people.

The Changsun family is so careless and goes against the court's policy. How many times have they said that intermarriage should not be settled within Xianbei. Why is your blood so valuable?

So Yang Ming told Yang Yinjiang to find a Han girl for Changsun Wuji. He wanted to use Changsun Wuji to show his support for the Xianbei people. The court did not encourage intermarriage within Xianbei.

This year, Yang Yinjiang was also found. Yang Ming thought it was very suitable, but he was afraid that others would look down on Changsun Wuji.

who?The most productive person in the Sui Dynasty came to protect his children.

Lai Hu'er, Yu Zhongwen, and Liang Bi were all very productive. Among them, Lai Hu'er was the most prolific, with twelve sons and six daughters.

Of course, there are two people who sacrificed their lives for the country.

The youngest son, Laiji, is only eight years old this year, and the youngest daughter is 14 years old.

Yang Yinjiang has sent a letter to Jiangdu in the name of the prince to discuss the matter with Lai Huer. Now, the reply has arrived. Lai Huer is willing, but the head of the eldest son family must go to Jiangdu to discuss this matter with him in person.

why?I'm still afraid that Changsun's family won't recognize Changsun Wuji. No matter how good your background is, it won't be appropriate if your family doesn't recognize you.

The head of the Changsun family is Changsun Anmin, the eldest son of Changsun Sheng's eldest brother Changsun Fu, and he has the title of Pingyuan County Duke.

Yang Ming went to Jiangdu and borrowed food from others, but now he hasn't even paid back the interest.

Paying off debt takes priority over interest payments. This has been the case throughout the ages. Why?Because debts cannot be relied upon, but benefits are sometimes possible.

So the best way is to earn more interest while guaranteeing the debt. Isn't this the case with mortgage loans? After repaying it for so many years, it turns out that all the repayments are interest and the principal has not been repaid. If the loan is cut off, the bank Not at a disadvantage.

The same goes for the grain that these families in Luoyang lent to Yang Ming. When they calculate the interest for you, they take into account the risk of you cutting off the supply.

Changsun Anmin had met Yang Rui and Li Shimin before in Daxing. At that time, Changsun Anmin agreed to let Wuji return to the family, but he still hinted that Wuji didn't understand the rules, because Wuji's mother, Gao, was Han. .

But this time when I came to see Yang Ming, he was very well-behaved.

Yes, there is a debt relationship between us, but there is also a superior-subordinate relationship.

"You go and have a good talk with someone who is here to take care of the child. Wuji is not young anymore. It's time to get married soon," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Changsun Anmin nodded quickly and said:
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely handle this matter."

What kind of official is he?The Ministry of Industry has a Water Department, and the Banzhu Wharf Water Department is the boss.

This is the dock with the largest oil and water content in the entire Sui Dynasty.

Yang Ming then smiled and said: "Since you are here, I can't let you come in vain, Xuanling, bring it here."

Then, Fang Xuanling took a list and handed it to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming said: "For the rebellion in Jiangnan, the imperial court paid you a salary. I don't have much here, but with the gold rewarded by your majesty, I can pay you some advance interest. Take a look. From our accounts, at the current price of grain, , reduce it.”

Changsun Anmin quickly declined: "Your Highness, it's not easy now. Don't worry about it. We'll talk about it when you feel better."

"No, one code will return one code. We agreed to pay it back in five years. It counts five years of interest. I don't want to pay it back by then." Yang Ming said with a smile: "Take it, I will let Xuan Ling do it later." I’ll take you to the library to take stock, I don’t want to be a dishonest person.”

"Your Highness's reputation is praised by the world," Changsun Anmin put the list in his arms.

When Yang Ming repays his debt, he must give priority to others, and the Dugu family comes last, because the Dugu family has no intention of taking back what they borrowed from him. The premise is that Yang Ming must protect the interests of the Dugu family in the canal.

As long as there is money to be made, they will not care about the money.

Whoever contributes more will earn more. This has always been the case.

Yang Rui's engagement has been delayed because Yang Guang couldn't get through it.

It's not that I disagree, it's that I plan to wait until Yang Rui is an adult.

In fact, they were just worried about Pei Ju. If the Wei family got involved, how could they join forces with Pei against Yang?At that time, Xuangan couldn't do anything with the support of the Wei family.

The people of the Wei family are very anxious now. What do you mean?Wasn't there something unexpected?My daughter has been waiting for so long, won’t you give me an explanation?Want to fool us?no way!

Wei Yue, the senior one who came back from Lingnan, became a rogue. As he got older, he would kneel outside the Qianyang Hall every day, demanding sermons without eating or drinking. He was not afraid of the hard ones, but the muddy ones.

If someone dies here, the hatred will be unleashed.

Because of the family rebellion, Gao Shengdao's official career was basically cut off. The person who replaced him as Minister of Civil Affairs was Wei Gui's second uncle, Shu Guogong Wei Kuangbo, who was also Yang Rui's chief historian of the Qin Palace.

Wei Kuangbo, together with Wei Jin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Wei Zhen, the Minister of Huangmen, these three are central-level bosses, and they must take care of their face.

If Yang Guang wants to take care of his son now, he must stabilize the court, and he can no longer scold and punish others as casually as before.

Although I felt very unhappy, I still agreed. After all, they were the largest family in Jingzhao, and the emperor sometimes had nothing to do with them.

After all, Wei Yoo was too smart to bother Yang Guang, so he begged on his knees for help.

That night, Yang Xuangan took his son Yuan Qing to prepare a generous gift and sent it to Wei Kuangbo's house.

Wei Gui's father passed away, so his second uncle must be the one to arrange the marriage. After all, the title that Wei Kuangbo inherited originally belonged to Wei Gui's father.

He should be grateful that Wei Gui is a woman and he is a man, so this title will not be his.

"Wu Xie thinks, why didn't His Majesty agree at first?" Yang Xuangan asked with a smile.

To ward off evil spirits is Wei Kuangbo’s word.

Wei Kuangbo smiled and said: "Xuangan asked knowingly. The prince has already said hello to us. He will do his best to fight for it. We have to help. Who looks the ugliest in today's court meeting? The problem lies with him."

Pei Ju didn't have much expression. He always had the same expression. Pei Yun was almost interested. His face was gloomy, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the marriage.

Wei Yuanzhao, the third prince of Henan County, was also there and intervened: "The situation in the court is complicated now. It is obvious that His Majesty does not want us to have a good relationship with Xuangan, so on the surface, it is best for us to keep a distance."

Their brothers and Xuangan are of the same generation, and they talk to each other as equals in private. Regardless of your high official position, if you use your official position to suppress us, we will have no need to talk.

Besides, these brothers are not low-ranking. One is a Duke and the other is a County Duke. The Duke comes from Wei Xiaokuan, and the County Duke is a posthumous title from their father, Mr. Wei. He was originally the second child, but the second child invaded the boss's kingdom. Duke, the Duke gave it to the third child.

The third child, Wei Yuanzhao, was originally a commoner. Why? Her daughter-in-law was Yang Yong's daughter, but she had already passed away. Logically speaking, she could not attack the prince. However, when Yang Ming was supervising the country, with the support of Yang Lihua, he recognized this The son-in-law of the Yang family was attacked, killing two birds with one stone, appeasing the clan and pleasing the Wei family.

These two brothers are also the uncles of Hu Sizheng, the Minister of War.

"Haha, you are saying this as if we are trying to curry favor with you?" Yang Yuanqing sneered.

"Shut up!" Yang Xuangan slapped his son in the face with a slap in the face, teaching him in front of others, just for others to see.

Wei Yuanzhao smiled and said: "Yuan Qing, don't think so. We have to adapt to the situation. Your Majesty does not want our two families to be on good terms, but the Crown Prince does, so we must avoid His Majesty in public, but still have more contact in private." "

These are the two biggest behemoths in the Sui Dynasty, the two top families.

Yang Xuangan smiled and said: "Xu Shanxin is seriously ill. There is a letter from the capital today. It is impossible for him to return to the court. I will try my best to recommend Sanlang for the position of Minister of Rites. The Crown Princess will mention it to His Highness. The three of us will try our best. , help Sanlang up."

For the top official positions in the Sui Dynasty, one would usually work until death. Xu Shanxin was about to die and had been recuperating at home for two years. He insisted on occupying this position and not giving up.

The main person is of seniority and the business level of the headquarters is also high. He is Niu Hong's confidant.

But now, Xu Jingzong, who was taking care of his father in the capital, reported to the court that his father could not get out of bed, so this position must be replaced.

Wei Yuanzhao frowned and said, "I'm afraid the Pei family will fight for this position. The prince won't get involved at this time. You'd better not tell the prince."

Even though he has not been an official for many years, this kid has a very flexible mind. The main reason is that he has suffered a big loss in his life and has a long memory.

Yang Xuangan was now particularly obedient to the advice. Hearing the words, he said: "Sanlang is right. Pei is the prince's true love. We really shouldn't let the prince get involved. We should handle the matter ourselves. There is no rising star in the Pei family who can take charge of his own business." ah?"

"Why not?" his son Yang Yuanqing reminded: "Your Majesty's son-in-law has returned from Lingnan."

Several people were stunned for a moment. Good guy, they had forgotten about Pei Xuanji.

If this kid comes to fight, he really won't be able to fight.

As Yang Ming's brother-in-law, Yuan Qing naturally thought of Pei Xuanji immediately. He had experience in the local area and was a civil servant. His wife was the emperor's legitimate daughter. How could Wei Yuanzhao compare to him?

Yang Xuangan suddenly frowned: "Why didn't I think of him? This is difficult to handle. This matter will definitely be discussed at the court meeting tomorrow. Let's adapt accordingly."

In fact, he has given up. There is nothing he can do. If Pei Ju's own son ends up fighting, there will be almost no suspense.

Don't tell me, this is how the old Pei family discussed it.
