This year's Lantern Festival in the capital is destined to be less lively than last year, and the lanterns are all leftover from last year. Just put them out and put them on display to celebrate the festival.
But on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of this year in Luoyang, Tokyo, the event was unprecedented. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has records that a total of 4.85 million yuan was paid from the national treasury.
This money is enough to cover the expenses of an army of 1.3 million soldiers for a month.
There are treasury and administrative agencies at the state and county level. The treasury in the capital is just the largest. The money is allocated from all over the world and then sent to Luoyang.
Originally, when Yang Guang left, half of the musicians in the studio were taken away, but now the rest are going to Luoyang.
Moreover, Yang Guang ordered that Niu Hong, the Qing of Taichang Temple, be presided over and assisted by Pei Yun to collect music from all over the world, including the children of the Yue family in the Zhou, Qi, Liang, Chen and other dynasties. They were all classified as music households and given grades, up to six.
Good, the lowest common people.
The compilation of world music is not just a kind of entertainment enjoyment. Music is the music of ritual music and the key system that supports the rule of the feudal dynasty.
The Sui Dynasty followed the Zhou rites, which was a ritual and music system customized by Zhou Gong, who was also known as Zhou Gongdan and Ji Dan, the younger brothers of Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou.
Ritual and music are inseparable.
Ritual is a complicated etiquette system that consolidates class differentiation and divides people into three, six or nine classes.
Music uses the form of performance to control people's thoughts and public opinions.
So don’t think that Comrade Yang Guang’s solicitation of music from all over the world is not doing his job properly. On the contrary, a job that is upright cannot be more upright.
Through the integration of music from all parties, a set of new music was compiled that was in line with the interests of the Sui Dynasty. From this point of view, Yang Guang had a longer-term vision than Yang Jian.
Moreover, Yang Ming received news that the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks, Qimin Khan, was already on his way to Tokyo to meet with Yang Guang.
This was also the Turkic Khan with the largest territory since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. He met with the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
The canal was opened.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Yu Wenkai, the Tongji Canal was successfully completed, connecting the Yellow River and Huaihe River, and then entering the Yangtze River. It can directly reach Jiangdu from Luoyang, Tokyo.
With this river, the Sui Dynasty's control over the Jiangnan region will be further strengthened, and the southern aristocratic families will gradually emerge and begin to move towards the center of power.
Yang Rui, the king of Hedong, is already three years old. After turning three, Yang Ming needs to deliberately keep a distance from his eldest son.
The child is already smart and is gradually becoming familiar with people. Yang Ming does not want to pamper him too much. Too much pampering will breed the child's pride and have a counterproductive effect on character shaping.
On this point, Yang Yinjiang and Yang Ming have the same point of view, because she hopes that her son can grow into a qualified heir. She does not want her son to be like his grandfather, so she is more strict with Yang Rui and does not want her son to be like his grandfather.
Those who knew it thought she was the stepmother.
But in fact, the couple's love for their son is all-round, but their purpose is to cultivate Yang Rui's independent personality, so many aspects need to be corrected.
Yang Yinjiang saw Yang Ming's care for her son and was very pleased. However, she believed that she could now prepare to have a second child with Yang Ming.
Heirs are a means to consolidate status. Although Yang Yinjiang does not think that anyone can challenge her status, in her opinion, it is her duty to open up branches for Yang Ming, and it is also a top priority that she must complete as soon as possible.
.
So for two consecutive months, Yang Yinjiang completely dominated her husband and successfully became pregnant with her second child.
After becoming pregnant, others had the opportunity to have sex with Yang Ming.
The one who was most anxious was Li Xiuning. On the other hand, Chen Shuyi didn't care much.
Li Yuan and his eldest son Jiancheng went to Luoyang, but Shimin and the others were still in Daxing, and would visit their sister from time to time.
Yuanji is five years old this year, and his appearance has completely matured. He is not as ugly as when he was a child, but he is not handsome at all.
If ranked by appearance, Shimin is undoubtedly first, Jiancheng is second, Xuanba is third, and Yuanji is at the bottom.
Changsun Wuji has been in the palace, studying with Li Baiyao, and helping Li Baiyao organize "Qishu". This child is particularly studious and selfless.
Li Shimin had no playmates, so he approached his sister, hoping to study with Li Jijiu, but Li Xiuning refused.
Shimin asked her, why did you reject me? Li Xiuning told him: There is no reason.
"You're here, you can't leave tonight no matter what, my day has come," Li Xiuning saw Yang Ming coming in, so she kept chattering while pulling Yang Ming.
She said her mother sent someone to check her belly every three days. She was tired of it and wanted to get pregnant with Yang Ming's child as soon as possible to avoid her mother always urging her.
Yang Ming counted the days. The last time he had sex was with Pei Shuying. It was five days ago, so tonight would be fine.
He didn't want to become a sowing machine, he wanted to take care of his own health, so he set a rule for himself to have sex only once a week, although this rule was always forcibly broken by Yang Yinjiang.
He is only nineteen years old this year, so he doesn't need to be so restrained.
Having no women is a very troublesome thing, but so is having too many women.
That night, Yang Ming and Li Xiuning struggled several times over what to do.
The rules were broken again.
Li Xiuning hoped that Yang Ming could still be shy with her in the next few days, because she wanted to ensure that she could get pregnant smoothly.
Yang Ming, a farm cow, could only agree.
This year is the third year of Daye. In early April, Yang Hong passed away.
He survived the winter, but not the spring.
Yang Ming is still the Minister of Honglu Temple, so he has to host the funeral, but he really doesn't want to host funerals anymore.
Hejian King Yang Hong, the patriarch of the clan, could not do without Yang Ming, but this time, he roped in Yang Xiong.
After Su Kui went to the Ministry of Personnel, the original Honglu Shaoqing had already been replaced by someone, but it was not Yang Ming who replaced him, but his father who was far away in Luoyang operated remotely.
Yu Wenshiji returned to the capital and took up the post of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. He had the title of Duke of Xincheng County.
He is the third dog among Yuwen's three dogs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the early years, Yang Ming wished to kill these three people as soon as possible, but now he thinks about it and keeps these three, which may be useful to him.
There are some things he doesn't dare to do, but these three people do.
A decree came from Luoyang, and Yang Hong was granted the title of King of Xun. Yang Qingzhi, the eldest son of Yang Hong, was ordered to attack and be granted the title of King of Xun.
Xun is also the name of a vassal state. It originated from the feudal state of a son of King Wen of Zhou during the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was as small as the smallest one, and it was located in Linyi County, Shanxi Province.
But no matter how young he is, he is still a one-character king and belongs to the first class of nobility.
After the funeral, the important figures from the clan who stayed in the capital met together.
Before that, Yang Xiong suggested that Yang Ming find a position for Yang Qingzhi so that the clan would know that there would be meat to eat by following Yang Ming.
And this position cannot be low, so Yang Ming went to Fang Yanqian of the Ministry of Personnel and asked where there were vacancies.
He didn't want Yang Qingzhi to enter the Shangshu Province, because Yang Ming had a limited number of places on hand, and these places would not be given to random people, so it was best to let them go.
It happened that the original governor of Xingyang, Yuan Xiaochun, died, and Xingyang was the fiefdom of his second son Yang Jin, so Yang Ming wanted to recommend Yang Qingzhi to the post before Yang Guang arranged it.
In front of many elders of the clan, Yang Ming also expressed his position and resolutely reused the clan's children.
So the next day, he wrote a memorial and sent someone to rush it to Luoyang.
Half a month later, Yang Ming received a reply from his father and the imperial edict.
But the content of the reply left Yang Ming confused.
Dad hopes that he will privately send people to collect evidence of He Ruobi's crimes, and the more comprehensive the better.
It seems that dad is planning to take action against He Ruobi.
Historically, He Ruobi was sentenced to death for defaming government affairs during his inspection of Zhangye with Yang Guang in the third year of Daye, that is, this year. However, in this life, due to the existence of Yang Ming, the timeline has been greatly changed. Yang Guang
I haven’t gone to Jiangdu yet, let alone Zhangye.
And Yang Ming did change history. It was precisely because of his intervention that Shi Wansui was not violently killed in the court by Yang Jian, and is still alive and well now.
So Yang Ming always thought that He Ruobi would not die this year.
Lend me my hand to get rid of a founding hero? You have a great idea.
Yang Ming is not going to take the blame for this, because He Ruobi's prestige in the military is too high, but having said that, He Ruobi is indeed worthy of a sentence now: being old and not dying is a thief.
He no longer plays any role in the court, but he is nosy and has an unstable stance. He also likes to use his seniority to suppress others. There are already many people in the government and the public who are dissatisfied with him.
If he could keep a low profile like Gao Jun, bow his head to Yang Guang, and stop meddling in others' affairs, in fact Yang Guang might not touch him.
But if you regard the right back as your own backyard, you have undoubtedly violated Yang Guang's inverse scale.
Who will I kill if I don’t kill you?
Yang Ming needs to plan this matter carefully and cannot be in a hurry. It is not easy to disturb a prince.
So Yang Ming called Yu Wenshiji over and put him in charge of investigating He Ruobi, but Yang Ming didn't tell him the reason because this guy must know.
Yes, of course Yuwen Shiji knew, because his father was the emperor's favorite, and the emperor was unhappy with He Ruobi for more than a day or two. He even cursed He Ruobi as a national traitor in front of his father Yuwenshu.
But Yuwen Shiji is not stupid either. He knows that Yang Ming wants him to take the blame, but he is willing to take the blame. It is best to let His Majesty know that he was the one who played a big role behind the scenes.
In this way, it seems that the Yuwen family is full of loyal ministers.
It was already a certainty that his younger sister would marry King Qi. He and Yang Ming were on opposite sides, so he really didn't want to take the credit for taking care of He Ruobi and fall on Yang Ming.
Wouldn't it just offend some reckless men in the military? It doesn't matter, He Ruobi has already dealt with it, but he still can't deal with you?
So he readily accepted this arduous task and began to recruit people and collect criminal evidence.
If you want to accuse someone, there is nothing wrong with it, not to mention that He Ruobi has done a lot of bad things. Not only is he a bad person, he is also greedy for power, money and sex. As long as the word "greed" is attached to him, he must have done a lot of bad things.
Yang Yue is also greedy and has done as many bad things as He Ruobi, but he is still his favorite, Yang Guang will not move, and there is Yang Mingbao behind him, so even if Yang Yue does more bad things, he will still be cool and unrestrained.
As the saying goes, as long as you don't make any mistakes, it's easy to say anything.
