There were three people who made great efforts in the funeral of Dugu Jialuo, Yang Su, Pei Ju, and Niu Hong.
It is said that in order to find a blessed place to bury Dugu Hou, Yang Su and his people worked day and night, traveling for hundreds of miles, and worked hard in the wind and rain. On the day of the burial, he was even more busy personally, and everything was arranged properly.
Sure enough, Yang Jian was greatly moved by this.
Therefore, after Yang Su fell ill, Yang Jian ordered hundreds of officials to visit him to show his respect for Yang Su.
Pei Ju and Niu Hong, the Minister of Rites, formulated the funeral specifications for the queen with reference to "Qi Li" and laid the foundation for the future royal funeral system in the Sui Dynasty.
The scale of the funeral of Empress Dugu is unprecedented. As for why we should refer to "Qi Li", it is because Qi is the hometown of Confucius, the pioneer of Chinese etiquette, and "Qi Li" is respected as Confucian orthodoxy.
Pei Ju even referred to the explanation of the posthumous title in "Book of Yizhou" and gave the posthumous title "Xian" to Queen Dugu.
Someone who is smart and wise is called Xian, someone who is virtuous and successful is called Xian, and someone who is wise and wise is called Xian.
Yang Jian was right, so Dugu Jialuo's posthumous title was Queen of Documents.
Yang Jian ordered the construction of the largest meditation temple in the world between Yongyang and Heping in the southwest corner of Daxing City to commemorate Queen Dugu. This Buddhist temple was built by Yu Wenkai, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Dugu Feng'er was brought back safely and placed in Yang Ming's private house.
In the past, Su Wei was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but now Su Wei is the Minister of the Right Pushe, so it is the same whether he is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Furthermore, since the Ministry of Personnel is under the control of Zuopushe, it is not appropriate for Su Wei to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
After seeing Yang Ming, Yang Su pointed to the position in front of him,
Yang Ming nodded and sat down, looking at the chessboard between them.
There was nothing left to talk about, so Yang Yue led the way with a drooped face, taking Yang Ming into the tea room.
Thinking about it, Pei Ju must have been having a hard time these past few days.
Yang Yinjiang stood beside Yang Ming, helping him smooth out his wrinkled linen clothes, and said softly: "The approval document for the treasury allocation has been sent to Jingzhou. You and Yuan Wen should say hello in advance."
Because at this time, Pei Ju held the five posts of Ministry of Internal History, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Minister of Dali Temple, General Zuowuwei, and Nayan of the Ministry of Menxia. This is the power of the prime minister.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Then please trouble Yang Shaoqing to send all your treasures to my house."
"Does Yue Gong have a good solution in his mind?"
Yang Lihua, who had no real power, could influence the selection of a minister, which was rare in other dynasties.
The matter between him and Yang Yinjiang was probably caused by that old boy Yang Yue. Yang Ming also just found out about it from Yang Lihua, but within a few days, he found out about it.
In the long run, there is no need for dad to mess around. As long as there is no reform, big things will happen.
The person who greeted him outside the door was Yang Yue. Perhaps because the dust had settled and everyone would be one of their own from now on, Yang Yue acted extremely close to him.
The current peaceful and prosperous age of the Sui Dynasty is actually very fragile. It has been twenty-three years since the founding of the country, and many things have not been done yet.
Yang Yinjiang smiled and nodded, looking at Dugu Feng'er who was screaming crazily in the room, and said:
Unexpectedly, the second child has also improved and understands the ways of the world.
Yang Ming said: "On the river, if there is no water army, there will be no peace on both sides."
Because after they met that night, Pei Ju learned the specific details from his daughter, and then he came to visit Yang Lihua in person.
"Your Highness," Yang Yue said in a hey voice, "Since Your Highness was born, you can come and go here at your will, and you can do whatever you want."
So Yang Ming asked Xu Jing to prepare some gifts, and went out by car to visit Yue Gong's Mansion.
"It's difficult!" Yang Su said slowly: "This bad debt involves too many people and it lasts a long time. Besides, the treasury has been abundant in recent years and the place is still peaceful. At this time, no one will break this window.
Paper."
Moreover, Yang Jian also made Pei Xuanji a general (honored title). He was promoted from Qianniu Preparation in the East Palace to Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, ranking fourth.
From this point of view, the amount of acres in the entire Sui Dynasty was falsely reported. If the situation in other places was similar to that in Jingzhou, at least half of it was falsely reported.
Yang Ming suddenly stopped: "Since he was transferred, why didn't he say hello to me? Why? Does he think I can't control him in the future?"
Yang Su smiled and said: "Then there's no need for a five-tooth ship, right?"
You think too highly of him. My father is even more overjoyed than my grandfather.
Yang Yinjiang has already received the exact information from her grandfather, not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also hinted at the result when he went to visit his grandfather, so now she already regards herself as Yang Ming's official wife.
"Brother knows that His Highness is coming and is already waiting in the tea room. Xuangan has received an order from the Ministry of Personnel and will return to the capital to take up the post of Minister of Rites."
"The door of Yue Gong Mansion will be open to His Highness at any time from now on."
Don't ask me to play chess, I don't know how.
Yang Ming shook his head: "I don't dare to show my embarrassment."
This is also a common problem among Chinese emperors. They always leave a mess for those who follow them. Some successors will find ways to clean up the mess, and some will not even be able to see where the mess is.
This time, the old boy finally had no more companionship.
But he fell ill because he was presiding over the queen's funeral, so in Yang Jian's heart, this was a great loyalty. In addition to rewarding him with gold, silver, food and silk, he also asked the prince Yang Guang to visit Yang Su on his behalf.
Yang Su smiled and said: "Let's play a game?"
As for Dugu Feng'er's matter, she was not angry at all. On the contrary, it made her feel that Yang Ming was a passionate person, and she was not wrong.
In the end, Yang Ming found the second child and after asking, he found out that this kid had been there a long time ago.
"It's been three days since I left, so I'll look at you with admiration. When will you be able to say hello to Wu Houwei?" Yang Ming said with a smile.
Yang Ming chuckled: "You mean, the door of your mansion was closed to me before?"
In this way, it seems that Pei Ju is under Yang Su's control, but in fact it is quite different.
Yang Su smiled, did not continue the topic, and instead said:
It was inconvenient for him to dispatch people from among his own maids, so he asked Yang Yinjiang for help. The latter brought twenty maids from Yue Gong Mansion, who would be responsible for Dugu Feng'er's daily life in the future.
After a while, Yang Su finally realized that this kid didn't know how to do it at all, so he put his hands back into his warm sleeves and said with a smile:
"Why does Your Highness want to rebuild the Xiangyang Navy? It seems that there are other ways to solve the problem of water bandits."
Apart from Yang Su and Su Wei, he has the most power.
Yang Ming understood, as long as nothing happens, everyone will treat it as nothing happened.
Yang Su's words make it very clear that the Supreme Being is old and his body cannot withstand drastic reforms, so he can only rely on his successors.
If any maid fails to serve her attentively, she will be beaten to death.
Yang Su nodded: "It's too involved. If I want to reverse this matter, it will affect my foundation in the Sui Dynasty. At present, the supreme energy is limited, and it is not appropriate to expose it at this time. This matter can only be expected from the prince."
Will do it in the future.”
Just as Yang Lihua thought, after all, daughters are not as important as sons, and the benefits Yang Lihua has given are really too great.
General Zuowei turned out to be Yuan Min. After Yuan Min died, Yang Guang took over first. After becoming the crown prince, General Zuowei fell to the second-eldest Yang Jian.
Yang Ming agreed with Yang Su's point of view. This matter really cannot be revealed now, so he said:
Yang Ming said: "Xuangan has done well in Jiangxia, but I don't agree with his transfer to the Ministry of Rites."
When Yang Su fell ill, it was actually due to the cold and because of his age, his recovery was relatively slow.
Yang Ming originally didn't plan to go, but after his eldest brother Yang Zhao visited, he came back and told Yang Ming that his mother-in-law asked him and his second brother to go too.
Yang Ming shamelessly acted blindly.
"Your Highness should be well aware of the land inventory in Jingzhou and do not make it public or report it to the court."
He is your future father-in-law, why do you always think about taking care of him? Yang Yue said with a smile:
"It's not like His Highness is not in Jingzhou. He didn't have time to tell you."
Yang Ming had no idea that all of this was planned by Yang Lihua.
After settling in Dugu Feng'er, Yang Ming heard the news within a few days.
Because of his merits in formulating the funeral system of the Sui Dynasty and offering posthumous titles, Pei Ju also received the title of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
However, Yang Jian was the leader from afar, and the two generals below did the actual work.
So how to settle Dugu Feng'er, she arranged it in an orderly manner.
Sinong Temple is responsible for the national warehouse, forest garden, market, fuel supply and other affairs. Shaoqing is the adjutant and is in charge of the national treasury. This power is very powerful.
"I have dispatched all the surrounding residents so that no one will be disturbed. I also told Wu Houwei not to come here when they patrol the city."
"Before we return to Jingzhou, we must send her out first to avoid making mistakes and not being able to take care of her."
The reason why Yang Jian readily agreed was actually because Pei Xuanji married his own granddaughter. Without such a relationship, wouldn't it be a joke to become a young minister at the age of sixteen?
In the Sui Dynasty, only the clan and people related to the clan by marriage were allowed to have fun, and no one else could.
Yang Ming smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, if I don't go back, no one will have the guts to touch the treasury's money."
Yang Yinjiang pursed her lips: "Thanks to you, the matter about me has been spread in Daxing. The Marquis Wu in charge of Jing'anfang is from Zuowei Mansion, so of course it will be easy."
Don’t you understand the polite words? Yang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth and quickly changed the topic:
Yang Su's illness has not yet recovered, so there are always two beautiful concubines by his side, sometimes rubbing his hands and sometimes changing the sweat towel on his forehead.
In other words, the taxes on ordinary people are half as heavy.
This is why those wealthy families want to be related to the royal family, because they can have fun.
It seemed that the other party knew about it, Yang Ming frowned and said: "Is this the same situation outside of Jingzhou?"
"No problem," Yang Su took the lead and then looked at Yang Ming.
Within half a year of his father Yang Guang's concurrent appointment in the Zuowei Mansion, many of Yuan Min's former confidants were removed and replaced with his own people, so Yang Ming can now call the Zuowei Mansion at his will.
When did you become unable to speak? Yang Ming said hey: "You can use it, but you can't live without it."
At this time, the Sui Dynasty urgently needed a capable and courageous successor.
Comrade Yang Guang possesses both of these two points, but he goes too far.
His courage far exceeds his abilities.
The most terrifying thing is that in Yang Guang's heart, his ability far outweighs his courage. This is almost an unsolvable problem.
