After sending away Li Yuan, Yang Ming began to prepare to transfer Yuan Wendu and others back to Daxing.
His title will be removed soon, and it is still unknown where Father Jieshi will send him. In short, within a year, he is likely to bid farewell to Daxing again.
After the court meeting in Daxing Hall, Yang Guang met with his group of close ministers in Liangyi Hall.
Nowadays, these people are all beaming with joy. As ministers of Conglong, this is the time when they are in high spirits.
After Yang Guang asked everyone to sit down, he smiled and asked:
"The matter of making Yang Ming the king has been decided. I think it is appropriate for the King of Qin. What do you think?"
Yang Su immediately agreed: "There is no one more suitable than King Qin."
What he meant was that King Qi and King Chu were no longer worthy of Yang Ming.
Pei Ju, Yu Wenshu and others all agreed that Yang Ming should be the first to contribute to the incident at Renshou Palace. It was Yang Ming's decisive response that intercepted the deposed Prince Yong in time, causing Liu Shu's success to fail. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
It's a pity that Yang Ming has nothing to seal, because he is about to become a prince. A prince is a genuine prince, and there is no one greater than this.
Pei Ju said: "This change is entirely due to the King of Qin. Our reaction was a step too late, which is a shame for Your Majesty."
What's more interesting is that he directly changed his name to Yang Ming, King of Qin.
When Yang Jian was alive, all ministers called him Supreme. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, all ministers changed their title to "Your Majesty."
Pei Ju's words meant to praise Yang Ming and belittle everyone. If the other party was not Yang Ming, but someone else, Yu Wenshu and the others would definitely not be happy, but with Yang Ming's words, they would have nothing to say.
No one should I fight with, not with His Majesty's son.
Yang Yue, an old boy, was so arrogant now that he suddenly became the boss of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He stood up, clasped his hands towards Yang Guang and said:
"I believe that the King of Hedong should be the King of Qi, and the King of Yuzhang should be the King of Qin. When the King of Jin is given a title, His Majesty is in front of him, so it is not appropriate to give him another title."
He was just flattering, meaning that Yang Guang was the King of Jin before. After becoming the prince, it was understandable for Yang Zhao to attack the King of Jin. But now that Yang Guang is the emperor, no one can inherit the title of King of Jin.
Firstly, it reflects Yang Guang's uniqueness, and secondly, it alludes to the fact that no one can be worthy of him after being granted the title by King Jin.
Yang Jian is the second eldest son. Since there is no King of Jin, he will be the King of Qin in terms of seniority.
Since Yang Yue had already said this, others would naturally not have any objections. Some even secretly regretted why they couldn't have thought of it in advance, so that such a beautiful flattery was taken over by Yang Yue.
What kind of emperor there is, there are what kind of ministers, conversely, what kind of ministers there are, there are what kind of emperors.
Yang Yue, Guo Yan, and Yu Wenshu are all good at flattering. Yang Guang regards these people as his confidants, and sooner or later they will be praised to the sky.
The younger brother's flattery was probably a spur-of-the-moment move without consulting him in advance. Yang Su frowned and said:
"Although the elders and younger ones are in order, it is not inappropriate for King Yuzhang to confer the title of King of Qin. However, in the case of Renshou Palace, King Hedong had the power to support the sky, but King Yuzhang did not contribute. Is it possible to change it and make King Hedong the King of Qin?
Is the King of Yuzhang the King of Qi?"
Someone took the lead in speaking for Yang Ming, and Pei Ju quickly echoed:
"The reason why King Cai Yang Zhiji was able to wake up and react was because he was reminded by King Hedong. If not, His Majesty would be in danger. I also believe that the title of King Hedong should be higher than that of King Yuzhang."
In fact, the title of prince is just a kind of honor. There is no real difference in what your title is, but it can reflect your dignity.
Yang Su and Pei Ju wanted to fight for Yang Ming, but it was purely selfish, because they were related to Yang Ming by marriage.
Yang Guang had a smile on his face and nodded slightly: "What the two beloved ladies said is exactly what I meant."
But in his heart, he was already wary. If these two people formed an alliance because of Yang Ming, it would be detrimental to the situation of the court.
But since both of them spoke at the same time, he had to give face.
At this time, Yang Guang remembered his father Yang Jian's instructions that when Yang Su was in the court, Gao Jiong must come back.
Don’t you, Yang Su, want to get closer to my son? Then I will break you up.
...
It is the third day of August in the fourth year of Renshou.
After Yang Ming went to court, he was called away by Gao Ye from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that His Majesty wanted to see him.
Gao Ye used to serve Yang Guang in the Jin Palace, but now he has risen rapidly and become a high-ranking internal official, which is equivalent to the boss of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
There are two senior officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The other one is also from the Jin Palace and is not as favored as Gao Ye.
In Liangyi Palace, Yang Guang was sitting behind the eucalyptus, reading the archives, while Queen Xiao and several maids were teasing Yang Qi, who was already five years old.
Yang Ming's biological sister is Yang Chan, and his biological sister is Yang Qi. Historically, Yang Qi will become Li Shimin's concubine.
Yan Baoshou's daughter was Concubine Yan De, ranked fourth, and Yang Qi was Concubine Shu among the four concubines, ranked second.
If the old Yang family had not been ruined at that time, Li Shimin would not have the qualifications to make Yang Ming's sister a concubine.
After Yang Ming greeted his father, Yang Guang just nodded, indicating that Yang Ming was free, and he continued to bury his head in the file.
"Ming'er, come here quickly," Mrs. Xiao waved to Yang Ming, who hurried forward and teased his sister with the palace maid.
He doesn't know how to coax little girls, so much so that Yang Qi doesn't dump him at all.
Yang Ming simply didn't bother teasing her. Yang Qi was already five years old and would be able to make a fire and cook in an ordinary people's home.
After chatting with Mrs. Xiao about some domestic matters, Yang Guang coughed dryly, signaled the noise in the palace, and had Yang Qi taken away.
"I heard that Dugu Feng'er is in your hands?" Yang Guang said this indifferently without raising his head.
Yang Ming was immediately shocked and hurriedly knelt down: "My child has made his own decision, please forgive me."
"There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be so unfamiliar," Yang Guang rubbed his sour eyes, raised his head and said, "That child was originally your concubine. If she hadn't been mad, she shouldn't have ended up like this. Now that she's taken in by you, it's okay.
It’s my destiny to join my Yang family, and I’ll just settle down with you.”
Yang Ming nodded: "My father is considerate, but the child is at a loss what to do."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Empress Xiao came over and helped Yang Ming up: "Get up, there is no need to kneel in front of grandma and grandma."
Empress Xiao also knew the ins and outs of the Renshou Palace. She was thankful that it was her son. If it were anyone else, how could she have made arrangements so quickly?
Or should we say that a woman can only rely on her husband and son in this life?
Therefore, Empress Xiao felt grateful to Yang Ming.
Yang Guang smiled and motioned for Yang Ming to sit down.
"Your decision to make the king will come to an end in the near future, but my subordinate Nayan, please don't do it any more. Of course, I am not targeting you. In addition to you, Su Wei and Pei Ju will also be kicked out, and Wei
The king has passed away, so I only retain Gao Jun and Yang Su for the position of Nayan."
Of the six Nayans, except for the death of King Wei Yang Shuang, I just picked out three of them. How don’t you want others to give you advice?
There is nothing wrong with retaining Yang Su, but retaining Gao Jiong?
It seems that dad is planning to bring Gao Jiong back.
In the Menxia Province, although Nayan is the highest officer, without Nayan, the Menxia Province will still function because the two people who do the practical work have always been the two servants of the Huangmen, and now they are Pei Ju and Yang Da. The status of these two people
will be greatly improved.
"My child has absolutely no objection," Yang Ming said quickly.
Yang Guang nodded and continued: "I want Gao Jiong to return to the court. In the past two years, without him in the center, the government affairs of the provinces have been in chaos. There are some things that only he can do, but now Yang Su and Su
"Wei, it is not convenient for me to replace him. What position do you think I should give him if he comes back?"
It doesn't matter what the seal is, because the biggest effect of Gao Jiong's return is to check and balance Yang Su. As long as Gao Jiong can participate in the court meeting, even if he is a fifth-rank official, Yang Su can still be restrained.
This is deterrence.
Historically, when Gao Jiong returned to the court, he was granted the title of Taichang Qing. Taichang Temple was the head of the eleven temples and governed the Jiaoshe, Taimiao, Taiyue, Taiyi, Taidivination and other offices.
The power is not small, but if you put Gao Jiong in this position, you are just kidding.
In Yang Ming's heart, he planned to keep Gao Jiong, because he thought he might be able to use it in the future.
So he directly made a quotation all over the sky, saying: "Dugu Gong, the most important weapon of the country, now no longer has a title. I think that in order to appease him, he should choose one of the three divisions in view of his meritorious service."
Third Master? How dare you speak? Yang Guang was also stunned.
The titles of Taibao, Taishi and Taifu were only granted in the early years of the founding of the Emperor. After the death of the three of them, these three positions have been vacant.
This is the highest title for a minister, and Yang Guang has no intention of letting anyone sit in this position.
"Nonsense!" Yang Guang said in a deep voice: "Why do you have such ridiculous ideas?"
Yang Ming said: "The third division is just an honorary title, with no real power. Dugu Gong is an important minister of the country. If I want to appease him, I can only re-title him. Wouldn't it be too hurt for Dugu Gong to stand in the court without his title?"
Yang Guang thought so. He summoned Gao Jun back to the court with the intention of dealing with Yang Su, and Gao Jun was very stubborn. If he gave him an official position casually, the other party might dare to refuse.
The reason why he asked Yang Ming was because he wanted to blame Yang Ming for recommending Gao Jun. This would create a rift between Yang Su and his son and break up their alliance.
There are only three divisions. Fame is greater than power. Just give it. If you don't obey, let him take it away.
After Yang Guang thought for a long time, he nodded: "According to your words, make him the Taifu and the Minister of the Taifu Temple."
"My father is wise," Yang Ming thought to himself. You are really the minister of the Taifu Temple. You want someone like Gao Jiong to take care of things like sacrifices, music, and medicine? You can't think of it.
Yang Guang said with a smile: "Gao Jun and I have always had a quarrel, and he may still hold a grudge against me. Let's go over there and tell him that I invite him back."
Yang Ming had no idea that his own father was plotting against him at this moment. After hearing this, he agreed and was about to resign when Yang Guang stopped him again:
"A King of Qin and a King of Qi, which one is suitable for you and the second child?"
How come Qin is unified? Where is Jin? Let you eat it?
After Yang Ming was stunned for a short time, he hurriedly said: "My child should be the King of Qi."
He couldn't show any intention of competing with the second child, he could only give in.
Yang Guang smiled and nodded, waved his hand and said:
