The three provinces of Shangshu, Neishi, and Menxia belong to the government affairs agencies of the imperial court and are responsible for decision-making and issuing decrees. The Eleven Temple takes over the decrees of Shangshu and implements them. There is a superior-subordinate relationship between the two.
But in the Sui Dynasty, the subordinate relationship between them was not very clear, because both Yang Jian and Yang Guang were very serious in seizing power in various central institutions.
Generally speaking, their powers are clearly demarcated, but their exercise is unclear.
In the entire Sui Dynasty, there were six ministers plus left and right servants, known as eight seats. They were responsible for everything and could intervene in any government affairs.
The chief officials of the Ministry of Internal History and the Ministry of Menxia are basically the same as prime ministers.
As for the Eleven Temple, it is a court affairs organization with a very clear division of labor, each in charge of its own affairs. In name, except for the left and right servants, the Eleven Temple only listens to the emperor and the prince, but in fact, they only serve the emperor.
The Taichang Temple under the supervision of Gao Jie was responsible for emperor worship, music, medicine, divination and other affairs. It also governed the suburbs, Taimiao, Taiyue, Taiyi, Taifu and other departments. The establishment was 347 people, and it was the Eleven Temple.
head.
Although Yang Gongren is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and has a great say in local administrative affairs, it does not work in Taichang Temple.
So he needed to say hello to Gao Jiong and make it clear that Chen Shuda was recommended by the King of Qin. If he said that he recommended it himself, I would be sorry, but Gao Jiong would have no face for him.
At present, there are eleven vacancies in the establishment of Taichang Temple. Those who are below the seventh rank are all minor officials. As long as Gao Jiong nods, they can enter and work.
However, Gao Jiong is always serious in his work, and not everyone can use it, so he needs to investigate first and only hire this person if he has real talent and learning.
The famous Ouyang Xun in history is currently serving as a doctor in Taichang Temple.
Don't think that this is just an idle job. In fact, the power is not small. He is in charge of guiding the public, and formulates the five rites (auspicious, good, guest, military, and bad). Those who should be posthumous after the prince will be decided by the doctor.
In this position, a posthumous title is assigned to you, including princes and princes. In other words, if Yang Ming died now, the person who chose the posthumous title to submit to the emperor would be Ouyang Xun.
If Yang Zhao died, then Ouyang Xun would not be able to take care of it, and all the officials in the court would have to discuss it together.
Gao Jie thought very highly of Ouyang Xun, especially because he had such good calligraphy skills. In Gao Jie's opinion, Ouyang Xun was the first person in the Sui Dynasty in terms of calligraphy attainments.
However, Yang Guang was recognized as the number one calligrapher in the Sui Dynasty, and there was at least 60% of this.
Gao Jiong probably knew something about Chen Shuda from Ouyang Xun, so he sent people to find Chen Shuda and asked him to enter the mansion to give a talk.
At present, there is a huge gap between the knowledge of Chen Shuda and Gao Jiong. Therefore, after the inspection, Gao Jiong was not impressed. However, the knowledge of Chen Shuda was still good, so he was given the position of Taizhu.
Ninth grade, holding the cashier's hand to the god, offering sacrifices and kneeling to read blessings.
It's not a good position, basically just a reciter of congratulatory messages, but Chen Shuda is already very satisfied, because after some discussions with Gao Jiong, he has been deeply impressed by Gao Jiong, and feels that he will definitely work under him in the future.
Benefited a lot.
.......
Shi Wansui, Chang Suncheng, Guo Yan, Li Jing and others have all returned to the capital.
Lord Li Jing was promoted to a higher rank and was awarded the title of General. On the recommendation of Prince Yang Zhao, he was appointed as the General of Youwuwei. The General of Youwuwei was concurrently appointed by Yang Ming.
In other words, from now on, Li Jing officially enters the military system. In this system, Li Jing is like a fish in water. Not only is he protected by Yang Ming, who is also the general of two palaces, he is also protected by his teacher Yang Su, and his two uncles
Han Sengshou and Han Hong also have extremely high reputations in the military.
Coupled with Li Jing's own performance in the battle of Pujin Pass, taking over the post of general went very smoothly.
His wife, Hong Funu, also lives in the capital now. From time to time, she would go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to promote her relationship with Princess Yang Yinjiang. When Li Jing and his wife entered the Prince's Mansion, they felt as if they were entering their own home. They were very casual.
Yang Yinjiang and Li Jing were old friends, and the other party was her husband's absolute confidant, so she treated them as her own people, and even opened a courtyard in the house specifically for Li Jing and his wife to rest at noon.
"Youwuwei is the fourth largest military headquarters among the twelve guards. It has a standing force of 24,000 people. The main camp of the guard is in Fengyi County. It has been under the control of the King of Wei since the founding of the Sui Dynasty."
Yang Yinjiang asked someone to carry her son Yang Rui down, and then said to Li Jing:
"In the military mansion, most of them are old men from the King of Guards, but things are different now. Your Highness is in charge of the Youwu Guards now, so the pharmacist should use more people who are comfortable with him in the future."
Her intention was very obvious. She wanted Li Jing to cultivate more of his cronies and place confidants in the military mansion, so that he could better control Youwuwei.
As for the other general, named Yang Xinmin, who came from a clan, if Yang Ming did not delegate power, his power would not be much greater.
Of course Li Jing understood, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Princess, your highness will be able to run your humble job well when he is away from the capital."
Yang Yinjiang is a rich man and has always been generous. When he knew that the house of Li Jing and his wife in the capital was small and dilapidated, he directly rewarded him with a large house located in Anyi Fangzhong, just south of Dongshi City. This house
Located on the 94th line, it is considered a very valuable place in the capital.
Such a generous move, Li Jing and his wife quickly rejected it at first, not wanting to accept it at all.
But who is Yang Yinjiang? The person who inherited Yang Yueqi's power, Li Jing could accept it calmly after a few words.
She knew that the most important thing in her husband's heart was Li Jing, so she didn't feel bad spending money on Li Jing.
After Li Jing and his wife left, Yang Yinjiang went to Chen Shuyi's dormitory and found a strange woman in the room. Although her dress was a little plain, she had a distinguished temperament and must have been from a good background.
Chen Shuyi stood up and introduced: "This is my aunt, Mrs. Wang."
Yang Yinjiang nodded and smiled, motioning for the other party to sit down and talk, and then said: "But a Langya person?"
"Back to the princess, I am the daughter of the old Chen Wang Youli and the wife of Chen Shuda," said Wang.
Yang Yinjiang nodded, sat down aside, and said with a smile: "I know your father, so you should be in the same room as Taifu Wang during the Zhongjin Dynasty?"
"Exactly," Wang nodded.
The Middle Jin Dynasty is the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is the Eastern Jin Dynasty established in the south after Sima Rui moved south.
Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been called the Middle Jin Dynasty, which means the resurgence of the Jin Dynasty.
Chen Shuda’s wife, Wang Nvjie, is a descendant of the founding hero of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Taifu Wang Dao. The peak period of the Langya Wang family was in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so there is a saying that "kings and horses share the world". The horses here refer to the Sima family.
.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was another very powerful family, the Xie family of Chen County, whose representative was Xie An.
In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people. They were the Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun.
The various powerful families in ancient China were active in different periods and each took the lead. Therefore, you cannot say that King Langya is inferior to Hongnong Yang, because the peak periods of each family are not in the same time period.
After the three chatted, Yang Yinjiang was stunned.
She didn't expect that Chen Shuyi was planning a huge trap.
The ancestors of the Langya Wang family lived in Linyi County, Langya County, which is also Linyi City, Shandong Province.
Since ancient times in China, Shandong has been a place rich in beauties. The girls here are tall, have good skin, and have great figures. Therefore, what Chen Shuyi and her aunt Wang are currently discussing is to select a beauty from the Wang family to donate.
To His Majesty the Emperor.
The Langya Wang family was the first aristocratic family in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but during the Sui Dynasty, it was not very successful and was far inferior to the Taiyuan Wang family.
Princess Day's suggestion to Chen Shuyi was very exciting at first. After all, as long as the women of the family successfully entered the palace and were favored by His Majesty, then their royal family would also have help. But when she knew that Chen Shuyi was just a means to frame King Qi
, I felt unhappy in my heart.
Yang Yinjiang was even more stunned and felt that Chen Shuyi was too risky.
Because Chen Shuyi’s idea is to select beauties from the Wang family and try to find a way to let the lustful Yang Xian see her. With Yang Xian’s character, she will probably take action.
And Chen Shuyi would let His Majesty know in advance through the two sisters in the palace that the Wang family would donate a beauty. As long as Yang Xian took action, it would be equivalent to cutting off his own father's wife.
In her plan, both the emperor and the King of Qi were plotted. She was as bold as Yang Yinjiang, and even thought Chen Shuyi was crazy.
You can tell me about the conspiracy, but how can you let Chen Shuda's wife know about it?
Yang Yinjiang said directly: "This must not be done. Be careful of playing with fire and burning yourself. The King of Qi is on his knees now, so he may not dare to snatch a woman in the capital. Besides, if it is leaked at this time, big things will happen."
After saying that, Yang Yinjiang looked at Mr. Wang, clearly telling her to shut her mouth.
Of course Mrs. Wang could understand her expression and said quickly: "I would rather die than say a word about this matter."
She thought that if the princess flatly refused, then this matter would not work.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shuyi was still very insistent and said:
"We can declare to the outside world that we are going to Shandong to pick up something. At present, Yang Jian's belongings are being held in Luoyang by His Highness. He must want to come back. When he sees this opportunity, he will most likely take action and use it as a bargaining chip. No matter whether he will or not
If we see lust, we can let His Majesty know that it was Yang Jing who detained the person. No matter how Yang Jing explains it, Your Majesty may not believe it. After all, his reputation for lust is known to the world."
Yang Yinjiang was stunned. She sat down and thought deeply. She didn't expect that Chen Shuyi, who had always been carefree, could actually plan careful things. Of course, it was full of loopholes and could not withstand scrutiny. After all, Chen Shuyi had never done this before.
But her general direction is right.
Although this matter is risky, it is indeed worth a try. Although there are many loopholes, you only need to correct them. The root of the problem is that Chen Shuda's wife knows the inside story, and Yang Yinjiang does not trust this person at all.
.
Wang was also extremely smart and knew that she had been involved. However, because of her low status, she had no right to refuse and had no choice but to do as she was told. Moreover, once this matter was leaked out, she would be the first person Princess Qin wanted to kill.
So she looked at Chen Shuyi for help, and the latter quickly said:
"Only the three of us know about this matter. My aunt should know the importance. From now on, our Chen family must rely on King Qin. You should know how to do it."
Mrs. Wang took the opportunity and hurriedly stated her position: "I must keep my identity secret and never leak it to anyone."
Yang Yinjiang frowned and thought deeply, for such a big matter, involving her family and life, how could she easily trust an outsider?
But without Wang, this matter would not be possible, so after thinking about it again and again, Yang Yinjiang nodded:
"If this leaks out, your whole family will die."
Wang suddenly broke into a cold sweat and nodded hurriedly. She knew the importance.
