The Lao Liu family in Hedong may not be very united at other times, but as long as they deal with Yang Su, they really share the same hatred, and they use their strength to make them stronger.
Liu Diao, the Censor at the Censor's Office, had a head-on confrontation with Yang Su because Yang Su said something: The wicker tree is weak and can only be swayed without the wind.
Liu Shu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and his own father and uncle were all laughed at by Yang Su, and he would never forget this hatred even after he was buried in the coffin.
Liu You, the Minister of Farming in the Ministry of Industry, offended Yang Su and was dismissed from office.
Liu Huitong, a Gong from Changle County, shot at Yang Su's carriage in the street. When Emperor Yang Jian found out about it, he was whipped twenty times and was left lame for half a year before he recovered.
From the Hedong Liu sect, only twenty or thirty people with titles could be found. With everyone's concerted efforts, Liu Shu was elected as the leader, and Yang Su was finally defeated.
When people are happy, they want to spend money.
So the Liu family raised funds and donated a golden statue of Sakyamuni to the Zen Temple that was being built in memory of Queen Dugu Jialuo.
When Emperor Yang Jian found out, he was greatly pleased and praised him as a "pro-Buddhist family".
"This little bastard!"
Liu Shu rushed the six hundred miles sent from Jingzhou, threw it on the eucalyptus, and cursed angrily:
"How dare he trick me? And he still hasn't checked this matter? You checked the shit."
Seeing how angry the minister was, Yang Gongren, the minister of official affairs, couldn't help but said:
"Mr. Liu be careful what you say."
You were in the lobby of the official department. You openly insulted the county prince as a little bastard. Then who is the big bastard or the old bastard?
Liu Shu also reacted, knowing that he had made a mistake, and quickly corrected him:
"I'm scolding Murong Sanzang, this bastard."
Haha... I am not deaf, Yang Gongren sneered in his heart.
Even though he was just a minister, he was from a clan, so he didn't need to grovel in front of Liu Shu.
Liu Shu handed Yang Gongren the official document that Yang Ming had beaten back:
"What do you think of Kyung-Ren?"
How can I see it? Of course, how can I not offend others? How can I see it? Yang Gongren said:
"Since King Hedong is resolute, it would be better to drop this matter."
"Give up?" Liu Shu said with an angry smile: "I thought Gongren was an upright person, but I didn't expect that he was also afraid of power?"
Nonsense! The King of Hedong belongs to our old Yang family. If I don’t turn to him, why should I turn to you?
Yang Gongren said: "What does the Minister want? After all, this is an old affair, and it involves the late Duke of Xiangyang. Is the Wei family willing to be splashed with dirt?"
"I did not frame them falsely," Liu Shuren said, bringing up a pile of files and pointing at them: "The evidence is conclusive. Should I still allow such a lawless person to continue to sit in the position of Jiangling Prefect?"
If you want to go against the two families, don't get involved with me. Yang Gongren said: "It's not a big deal, just give me a warning."
"Hutu!" Liu Shu slapped the table angrily: "Since I am an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I should be fair and strict in my dealings. If not, wouldn't I be betraying the trust of the Supreme Being?"
Okay, you've already moved out of Supreme, what else can I say?
Yang Gongren also knew in his heart that Liu Shu was currently a popular person in the eyes of the Supreme Being and basically had the potential to compete with Su Wei. Given time, he might be another servant.
You can do whatever you want, just don't get me involved.
After Yang Gongren left, Liu Shu summoned another official, Gao Xiaoji.
Gao Gou, named Xiaoji, was originally Qi Chen. This man was very capable and was Niu Hong's disciple.
After learning the reason why Liu Shu summoned him, Gao Xiaoji was also in a dilemma. The transfer order document from the Ministry of Personnel had been sent back intact by King Hedong. If you send another one, there may be no results.
Obviously, people don't give you this face.
You have to discuss this kind of thing with the King of Hedong first before you can take people in their jurisdiction. Otherwise, you won't be able to move.
But Gao Xiaoji also knew that Liu Shu would no longer have a good discussion with anyone. After defeating Zuopushe, he was too arrogant.
"How about sending someone down to bring Murong Sanzang back?" Gao Xiaoji said.
His idea is right. It is almost impossible for Murong Sanzang to return to the capital honestly. The Examination Department under the Ministry of Civil Affairs is responsible for the appointment, removal, transfer and assessment of officials. If he goes to lead people in person, it will be difficult for the King of Hedong to stop him.
.
"Filial piety is still reasonable," Liu Shu said with a pleased look on his face: "I will do as you say."
"No, it's up to you, Minister, to make your own decision. I didn't say anything." Gao Xiaoji was also afraid of implicating himself.
"Haha... If you are so timid, how will you do things in the future?" Liu Shu mocked the other person and sent him away.
When Liu Shu operated on Murong Sanzang, his idea was actually very simple, he just wanted to kill Yang Ming's majesty.
Among Yang Guang's three sons, this boy is the most conspicuous at the moment. I heard that Liu Chang and his son fell into the hands of this boy.
After defeating Yang Su, his prestige in the court increased day by day, and the one who could surpass him, Liu Shu, was the prince Yang Guang.
However, Liu Shu was dissatisfied with Yang Guang. Even when Yang Guang was first crowned prince, he once threatened: Why create a second son when the eldest son is still there?
He himself was the eldest son of the family, and he succeeded his father, Liu Ji, as the Duke of Jian'an County.
In his opinion, as long as the eldest son is alive and inherits this kind of thing, it cannot be the turn of the next ones. This is messing up the ancestral family law.
The officials in the DPRK who were dissatisfied with Yang Guang basically did so because of this. This is why from the beginning, Yang Lihua was worried that the second-in-command would plot against the boss.
Only when the eldest son is gone can the second son be considered legitimate.
...
Xiangyang County.
The Xiangyang Navy has started construction. The first step is to expand the pier, otherwise the ships will not be able to dock.
The docks are not concentrated in one place, but stretch for more than ten miles and are distributed along the coastal areas on the east side of the Han River. The ships are built on land and launched into the water after they are built.
This is a big project. The first person in charge must be Yang Ming, because he got the money from the court. Next are the chief officials of the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry. They will supervise the whole process and provide guiding opinions.
Next up is Du Zha, the governor of Xiangyang, because the navy is in his territory.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The first thing Yang Ming did after coming to Xiangyang was to find the chief official of the Shui Si Yamen for dinner, and he would always bring this person with him in the following days.
Be around.
Yao Xing also knew very well that if he could be led by the King of Hedong to eat and drink, he had to learn to be smart about what could be reported to the police and what could not be reported.
After all, he was sent from Daxing, a sixth-grade Water Ministry Yuanwailang, so he naturally knew that the Ministry of Works' budget for shipbuilding did not include a five-toothed ship.
This thing is not about rebellion. If it weren't for the fact that Yang Ming was a member of the royal family, he would have thought that the other party wanted to rebel.
That night, Yang Ming held a banquet at Du Zha's house to entertain Yao Xing and other eleven officials of the Ministry of Water Resources.
During this period, Du Zha asked people to bring up several boxes of money and said with a smile:
"The reconstruction of the Navy this time depends on you all. Small gifts are not a sign of respect."
Yao Xing's face turned green on the spot. What do you mean? Give it to him in front of King Hedong? Do I dare to ask for it?
"No matter what, we all work for the imperial court and His Highness, so naturally we do our best. We all have travel funds allocated by the Ministry of Works, so there is no need for Governor Du to spend any money."
Officials like them who go out to work have travel expenses, but they are not much, because the imperial court has always been very shabby in this regard.
But Yao Xing and the others are even shabbier.
Although guanxi households were everywhere in the Great Sui Dynasty, some positions still had to be paid attention to. For example, positions like Yao Xing that required particularly high professional skills could not be filled by guanxi households.
Yao Xing was born in a Jiangnan shipbuilding family. His ancestors served the Xiao and Chen families, and now he serves the Yang family.
People like him earn hard-earned money, and if they want to make some extra money, they just have to eat and get cards.
As we all know, it’s only a small amount of money to eat or get a card.
Du Zha was so polite and brought a few boxes of money, but it was a lie that he was not interested.
But he didn't dare to ask for it.
Seeing this, Yang Ming smiled and said: "Take it, it's hard-earned money to cover expenses, and it's not a bribe for you."
After he said that, Yao Xing felt relieved.
In fact, the money originally belonged to Yang Ming, but he just borrowed Du Zha's hand to send it. It was not convenient for Yang Ming to do so.

After taking the money, they naturally know what to do. They can just turn a blind eye to the Xiangyang Navy incident. Everything should be reported as recorded in the Ministry of Industry's memorandum. If there is any extra, just one sentence
Don't talk nonsense.
After taking care of the people in the water department, Yang Ming had to send out one more person.
Xiangyang Cavalry General Cai Ju, who has been idle at home for a year.
At the beginning, Yang Ming used the excuse that the Xiangyang navy disguised itself as water bandits and robbed merchant ships, and asked him to go home and reflect. During this period of time, Zhou Zhongmo, with the cooperation of Du Zha, had basically taken over the Xiangyang Military Mansion.
Now that there is another Xiangyang County soldier, Cao Shenqu, it can be said that the Xiangyang Military Mansion has completely changed its appearance and is completely under the control of Yang Ming.
Even if Cai Ju comes back, she will still be a polished commander.
In a secret room in the prefect's mansion, Yang Ming met with Cai Ju.
The latter was not idle during this period, asking people everywhere to find connections, and wanted to be transferred away from Xiangyang, because he also saw that when he was ordered to go home and reflect, he was actually making room for others.
Since this is the case, then Yang Ming was probably targeting him specifically when he dealt with him.
Cai Ju's current backstage is Han Sengshou. Han Sengshou wants to transfer him, which is possible, but it will take time. However, after learning the cause and effect, Han Sengshou suggested that Cai Ju take the initiative to plead guilty to Yang Ming.
On the other hand, he also informed his nephew Li Jing and asked him to help intercede.
Li Jing did not dare to disobey his second uncle's instructions. He had already mentioned this matter with Yang Ming when he was in the capital.
"General Cai's face is glowing. It seems that he has been in good health during this period," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Cai Ju humbly said: "It's all thanks to His Highness."
"Really?" Yang Ming said with a smile: "General Cai, is he really thinking about it?"
"No, no, I just came to His Highness to plead guilty," Cai Ju said quickly.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "What crime do you have?"
Cai Ju said: "My humble position makes His Highness dissatisfied. The first crime is that I failed to share His Highness's worries. The second crime is that I neglected to manage the Xiangyang military government. The third crime."
Yes, the order is correct... Yang Ming nodded: "Han Gong has already greeted me. Now it seems that General Cai has reflected quite clearly this year and will return tomorrow."
Now that I am in office, go and be your hussar general and don't make any more mistakes."
"I thank you for your humble position, Your Highness!" Cai Ju hurriedly knelt down.
Yang Ming smiled and waved: "That's all, go ahead."
Yang Ming can't trust this person now. After all, he is a disciple of the old Han family. Changing the family is a taboo. Cai Ju won't do this. Even if he is willing, Yang Ming won't trust him.
But this person may be used by Li Jing in the future.
So in Yang Ming's opinion, it was just a helper left for Li Jing.
Xiangyang is where his heart lies. Even if he leaves Jingzhou in the future, he will always keep an eye on this place.
It can only be his people here, no other forces can even think of getting in.
