On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 252
The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits. Su Wei is dismissed from his official post because of He Duo's report.

Although Neishi Ling is the chief official of the Ministry of Internal History (Zhongshu Province), one of the three provinces, his power is not as good as that of the deputy minister of Shangshu Province.

The three provinces have their own division of labor. Simply put, the Ministry of Internal History is responsible for decision-making, the Ministry of Menxia is responsible for review, and the Ministry of Shangshu is responsible for implementation.

If the king is addicted to pleasure and has no intention of governing, the Ministry of Internal History, which is in charge of decision-making, is also the Ministry of Zhongshu in later generations, which naturally has great power.

But it fell into the hands of a hero like Yang Jian, and the decision-making of the government was jointly negotiated by him and a group of cronies, which included not only the internal history order, but also the left and right servants, and the Nayan of the door.

Since it was agreed by everyone, the decision-making power of the Ministry of Internal History and the review power of the Ministry of Internal History must be useless.

It is impossible for the Ministry of Internal History to come up with a set of methods when Yang Jian has already made up his mind, or the Ministry of Internal History will reject the decision of Yang Jian and the prime ministers.

Therefore, among the three provinces, only Shangshu Province's executive power truly retained its core power.

This is why since the founding of the Sui Dynasty 12 years ago, there has never been a Shangshu Order, but the reason why the Shangshu Province has been divided into left and right servants.

Yang Su came to the right, but his power was only inferior to Shangshu's left servant, Gao Jiong, which undoubtedly made Yang Su more eager to pull Gao Jiong down.

At the same time, Yang Jian continued to suppress the East Palace after Liu Chang, Liu Jushi and his son.

He intends to reduce the number of guards in the East Palace and add the able-bodied ones to the imperial army.

Zuo Pu She Gao Jiong knew what Yang Jian was thinking, but as Yang Yong's father-in-law and in-laws of his sons and daughters, he could only argue for it, admonishing him:
"The guards of the Eastern Palace have been fixed since ancient times. If the guards of the Eastern Palace are reduced, it may be difficult to protect the entire Eastern Palace."

Yang Jian was not happy when he heard the words, he snorted and said:
"I often go out on patrol, so I want to increase the bodyguards. The prince is in the East Palace to cultivate himself, so he doesn't need so many guards!

"This old law is not in my favor. In my opinion, the Imperial Guards of Miyagi and the Guards of the Eastern Palace should not be separated. Wouldn't it be better for them to be on duty in Miyagi and Eastern Palace in turn."

Gao Jiong didn't dare to persuade him anymore, he was also worried that Yang Jian's rebellious mentality would be aroused, so he really abolished the guards of the East Palace and let the imperial guards guard the East Palace.

After all, it is just a reduction, not an abolition.

After Gao Jiong retired, Yang Jian shot Yang Su to the right servant and complained:

"Qi Guogong (Gao Jiong) can't be considerate, could it be that I really don't know the law of the previous court, and I need him to remind me!"

How could Yang Su miss this opportunity, he said with emotion:
"Duke Yan is His Majesty's son-in-law, and His Majesty loves him deeply, and Duke Qi is not only the father-in-law of the crown prince, but also his son marrying the daughter of the crown prince. It can be said that he is more intimate. Duke Qi prefers the crown prince, which is also human nature."

This sentence undoubtedly planted a thorn in Yang Jian's heart. In his heart, Gao Jiong was no longer the Dugu Gong who was like a bright mirror.

Not long after, Yang Jian approached Gao Jiong again, so he made an excuse:

"Concubine Jin is possessed by a god, and the king of Henan (Yang Zhao) was born in response to the omen. This seems to indicate that Yang Guang will have the world. What do you think should be done?"

Gao Jiong hastened to advise:

"The position of the crown prince, seniors and young are in order, and it involves the foundation of the country, so how can it be abolished."

Yang Jian didn't say any more, after Gao Jiong left, the silent Dugu Jialuo sighed:
"Your Majesty, you have seen that this Duke of Qi is now wholeheartedly devoted to the crown prince. I can't even tell whether he is your majesty's prime minister or the minister of the Eastern Palace."

Anger burned in Yang Jian's heart. He thought he had a great kindness to Gao Jiong, so he promoted a descendant of Goguryeo to be the prime minister of the dynasty. .

Two years ago, Shangshu Dushi Jiang Ye and Li Juncai, who joined the army in Chuzhou, made a performance, claiming:

"Floods and droughts are not adjusted, and the crime is caused by Gao Jiong. Please remove Gao Jiong's phase." '

Such a reason seems outrageous to modern people. After all, what does flood and drought have to do with Gao Jiong.

But in the eyes of the ancients, it was taken for granted. This is the theory of the interaction between heaven and man.

At first, all natural disasters were the emperor's fault, but later the emperor said that he was not responsible, so it became the prime minister's fault.

For example, in the Han Dynasty, there was an old practice of exempting the three princes due to disasters. Even if a natural disaster occurred, one of the three princes had to be dismissed.

Otherwise, how could it be possible for a noble and famous family to live for four generations and three generations.

Of course Yang Jian rejected the request of Jiang Ye and Li Juncai. At that time, he and Gao Jiong were in love, but Li Juncai insisted again and again. Yang Jian beat Li Juncai to death in the Daxing Hall for this reason.

Thinking of what I have done to Gao Jiong, and seeing that Gao Jiong only has Yang Yong in his heart, the two are no longer the close relationship they used to be.

Gao Jiong is no longer Yang Jian's beloved Duke Dugu.

As for Dugu Jialuo's aversion to Gao Jiong, besides the prince Yang Yong, Gao Jiong himself also has reasons.

It's not just Gao Jiong's sentence "How can your majesty take the world down with a woman" that makes Dugu Jialuo feel underestimated.

What's more, in the tenth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Gao Jiong's wife was seriously ill and died soon after. Dugu Jialuo had a good relationship with Gao Jiong at that time, so he spoke to Yang Jian:

"Gao Pushe lost his wife in his later years, how could His Majesty not renew his strings?" '

Yang Jian relayed Dugu Jialuo's proposal and asked Gao Jiong if he would like to remarry.

Gao Jiong said with tears of gratitude:
'I'm old now. After I retire from court, all I can do is eat fast and chant Buddha's name.

'Although His Majesty loves me deeply and even wants to help me marry a wife, this is not my wish. '

When Dugu Jialuo heard about this, he was really moved. Gao Jiong refused to continue, and only wanted to eat fast and chant Buddha, which showed his loyalty to his wife, and Dugu Jialuo followed suit.

However, earlier this year, Gao Jiong, who claimed that after retiring from the imperial court, only ate fast and recited Buddha, got a son in old age. Maybe Gao Jiong was not recited at home, but Songzi Guanyin, otherwise how would this son come about.

At this time, Gao Jiong was actually only 52 years old.

Others didn't care about it, but Dugu Jialuo kept the grudge in his heart.

Alright, weeping and crying in front of people, wanting to eat fast and chant Buddha, but the queen and concubines and even their sons got married.

It's not that Dugu Jialuo can't accept that the minister has a concubine, but she can't tolerate Gao Jiong's deception to herself.

The two no longer have the slightest affection, and it cannot be said that they are strangers. After all, Dugu Jialuo would often slander Yang Jian and alienate their monarchs and ministers.

It's just that although Yang Jian and his wife both hated Gao Jiong, they also knew that he was a capable minister. After Su Wei stepped down as Prime Minister, Gao Jiong was not indispensable for state affairs.

The most important thing is that many civil servants and military generals in the court were recommended by Gao Chiong, and the Suwei crony case involved hundreds of people.

Another Gao Chiong party case, I'm afraid the court will be half empty.
