Li Xiuqing got under the quilt and waited quietly for Yang Ming. The Yellow River was still very cold at night, but fortunately there was a heater under her quilt.
The stove is made of copper, because copper dissipates heat quickly. There are burned pebbles in the stove. Every two hours, a maid will come in and replace the stones in the stove to keep the stove at a warm and suitable temperature.
, warm but not hot.
After Yang Ming came in, Li Xiuqing's heart was beating fast. After the two maids changed Yang Ming's clothes, they took the opportunity to leave.
(This paragraph has been deleted by the system. I just saw it. You can make up your own mind.)
...
At noon the next day, the fleet arrived at Dianzhu Mountain, also known as Sanmenxia.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a huge Pillar Mountain here, which blocked the Yellow River waterway, making it impossible for the Yellow River to pass smoothly. When Xia Yu controlled the water, he broke the mountain and opened the river, so that the river water divided into three parts and bypassed the Pillar Mountain, so there is "
There is a saying that "flowing into the mainstay" is the origin of the idiom "the mainstay".
These three branches of river water are called the three gates of humans, gods and ghosts. This is where the name Sanmenxia comes from.
In fact, there are many oversized rocks lying in the middle of the waterway, forcing the river to pass through.
The water here is very fast and full of hidden reefs, which is particularly prone to accidents. Emperors of all dynasties have had a headache about this. They tried to dig out countless times, but all failed. It was not until the founding of New China that the three largest structures of humans, gods and ghosts were blown up.
The Sanmenxia Dam was built on the reefs, as well as many surrounding reefs.
However, the mainstay stone has been preserved to this day, because this reef is so famous in Chinese history and has a symbolic meaning beyond its own. It now stands in the center of the Sanmenxia Dam. Every second day of the second lunar month, it is the mainstay.
Temple fair in the mountains.
Yang Ming's fleet has entered the turbulent waters of Dizhu Mountain, which is a great test of the sailors' boating skills and familiarity with the surrounding waters.
They must know where there are reefs.
On the plank road on the shore, hundreds of people organized by the government have already been waiting here. The big ship has a deep draft and needs trackers to pull the fiber.
There are not many trackers pulling forward. They mainly pull back to control the speed of the boat, because the current here is too fast.
It took a full half day for the fleet to successfully pass through this natural hazard without any damage to any ship.
During this period, Yang Ming also saw the Pillar Mountain. It was not actually that big, but it gave people a towering, unmoving and awe-inspiring feeling, like a god standing in the middle of the dangerous and turbulent Yellow River.
Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. This was his first time passing by here, and it was not as easy as those sailors who sailed all year round.
At this point, the Yellow River is flowing smoothly, and Yang Ming will arrive in Heyang County in less than four days.
.......
capital,
After all, Yang Yue couldn't hide, so he honestly asked people to open the door of the house and welcome the eldest princess Yang Lihua into the house.
He is indeed Emperor Yang Guang's absolute confidant, but she is the emperor's biological sister, and no one will stop her if she wants to deal with him.
After Yang Lihua came in, she didn't say a word, she just winked at the guards behind her, and three people immediately stood up.
One of the two grabbed one of Yang Yue's arms and pushed him to the ground. The other one, holding a whip, came behind Yang Yue.
Yang Xuangan stood with Jiajuan with a helpless look on his face, not daring to say a word.
A guard brought over a bucket of water, and even the gods couldn't get out of bed if their whips were wet with water.
Yang Yue raised his head with a pale face: "I am following the late emperor's imperial edict..."
The whip struck Yang Yue hard on the back. The latter screamed and trembled all over.
"Eldest Princess, please show mercy." Yang Xuangan hurriedly knelt down and said, "My uncle is seriously injured and has not recovered. He really cannot bear such a severe punishment."
Yang Lihua said expressionlessly: "Anyone who pleads for mercy will be punished with the same punishment."
Yang Xuangan's mouth twitched and he didn't dare to speak anymore.
After a while, Yang Yue was knocked unconscious. Yang Lihua stepped forward to take a look at the injury. She was generally satisfied, and then led everyone to leave.
Outside the gate, many people had gathered to watch the excitement, and some of the clan members were applauding, cheering, and booing frequently.
"Quick, quick, get my uncle in and take medicine,"
Yang Xuangan quickly asked his brothers to help and ordered his servants to close the door of the house.
As soon as Yang Yue was placed on the couch, he managed to open his eyes and wailed in pain: "I finally got through it... Oops..."
In Liangyi Hall, Yang Guang was sitting behind the dragon gum and reading the archives. Standing under the main hall were Prince Yang Zhao, Yu Wenshu, Lai Huer, Zhang Heng, Pei Yun, Yu Shiji, and Shangshu Youcheng Huangfu Yi.
In Shangshu Province, there are two positions: Shangshu Zuocheng and Shangshu Youcheng. They are subordinate officials of Zuopushe and Youpuse respectively. They are mainly responsible for the administrative affairs of the province and have the power of supervision.
In the past, these two positions were often vacant, but after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he made Pei Ju the minister Zuocheng and promoted Huangfu Yi to the minister Youcheng.
Originally there were eight subordinate officials of the left and right servants, as well as eight people from the capital, but Yang Guang divided these eight people into six departments, and added one person each to the left and right to replace them.
Huangfu is also a common surname. It originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty and originated from the surname Ji. It has three hall names: Jingzhaotang, Weiyuantang and Andingtang.
Huangfu Yi was a former official of the Jin Dynasty and a close confidant of Yang Guang. Historically, he was responsible for the construction of the Tongji Canal.
Yang Ming's memorial letter had been placed on Yang Guang's desk. After reading it, he felt worried and happy at the same time.
What's worrying is that my third son is so courageous that he dares to ask for advice on such a thing.
Fortunately, the father and son wanted to go together.
Yang Guang handed the memorial to Gao Ye, his chamberlain, and Gao Ye handed it down for everyone to circulate.
Not long after, the memorial was returned to Long Gu.
Prince Yang Zhao looked anxious and said: "What is Brother Ming going to do? How dare he bring up such a thing?"
Yang Guang's eyebrows moved, he glanced at his eldest son, then looked at the crowd and said:
"What do you think?"
Yu Wenshu stood up and said: "The King of Qin's lake painting is full of nonsense. Even a three-year-old child knows that this matter will not work."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Absurd?" Yang Guang frowned and said: "You mean, my son is absurd?"
Yu Wenshu was stunned and quickly knelt down: "I know my sin and I pray for your Majesty's forgiveness."
Seeing this, Zhang Heng subconsciously glanced at Pei Yun who was standing beside him. They both realized that the emperor seemed to think that King Qin's method was a good one.
Temporarily exempting slaves and conferring farmland for two years, this is aimed at the entire Kanto noble family, and the resistance can be imagined.
Lai Hu'er had just returned to the court when he heard that King Qin Yang Ming was very prestigious in the court. Unfortunately, he had never met him. Seeing the memorial today, I couldn't help but feel that King Qin was really courageous.
Yang Guang snorted coldly: "What my son said is all for the country's concern and my concern. The Luoyang fortifications and food supplies are insufficient. Is it you or me?"
Pei Yun hurriedly stood up and said: "The King of Qin's advice on governing the country, I think this policy can be implemented."
Yang Zhao was stunned, what are you doing? How can you change your stance on such a big matter just because of your father's words? Isn't this cheating my brother?
If this policy is implemented, the wealthy people in Guandong will definitely regard Mingdi as a thorn in their side.
"Father, this matter is of great importance and needs more discussion. Luoyang's supply cannot be cut off, but there may be other ways," Yang Zhao said.
Yang Guang sighed inwardly, if there was another way, your brother would not use this method.
"Where's Yang Yue? Why hasn't he recovered yet?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak.
Yang Guang frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Finally, Yang Zhao stood up and said, "To return to my father, my eldest aunt led people to Yue Gong's house this morning to whip Yang Yue. I heard that Yang Zhongshu can't get out of bed again."
Yang Guang shook his head helplessly. No wonder none of them dared to say anything. It turned out to be about Sister A.
My sister has always been brooding over the death of her eldest brother Yang Yong. She knew clearly that she had ordered Yang Yue to do it, but she deliberately pretended to be stupid and pointed the finger at Yang Yue.
Although you are excusing yourself, you are making too much trouble.
That's all...as long as she can calm down.
Without Yang Yue as an intimate, Yang Guang could only do it by himself, so he said:
"The food problem in Luoyang is imminent, and for the livelihood of the people, I really have no time to delay it, so I will follow the instructions of the King of Qin, make slight modifications, and temporarily implement it in Henan for a period of two years."
"Mao Shi (Yu Shiji) drafted a decree, and after I read it, he immediately spread it to all parts of Henan to ensure Luoyang's supply."
"I obey the decree," Yu Shiji, the Minister of Internal Affairs, began to draft the imperial edict.
"Also," Yang Guang suddenly looked at everyone: "Although this policy was proposed by the King of Qin, the ministers must not spread it."
This sentence is equivalent to taking the blame for Yang Ming, and I blocked it for my son.
Yang Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief, his father still protected Mingdi after all.
After everyone left, Yang Zhao smiled and said:
"Although Mingdi did not support his father on the canal matter, he was thinking about his father after all."
Yang Guang said calmly: "Renshou Palace, without the third child, our family still doesn't know what will happen. Although this child is a bit stubborn, he only needs to be corrected slowly. I am still pleased that he can take charge of his own business."
As he spoke, Yang Guang looked his eldest son up and down, frowned and said:
"You seem to have gained a lot of weight. You should drink in moderation and go out for horseback riding and hunting in your spare time. Do you think you have become so fat?"
"Yes, yes," Yang Zhao said hurriedly: "As soon as my son is free, he will go out of the city to have some fun."
Yang Guang shook his head angrily: "The second brother is also taking advantage of being far away from me, messing around with women and doing random things down there, you have to keep an eye on him."
Yang Zhao nodded and said: "I must advise you at the right time."
For such a big matter as removing slaves and conferring farmland, Yang Guang did not go through a court meeting. Instead, he only issued an edict after discussing it with a few confidants.
When Suwei Gaojun and others found out, the imperial edict had already been sent to Henan.
The power of the Shangshu Province was greatly weakened after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, and the six ministers had nothing to do about it.
It seems that whoever is close to the emperor has more say.
