Yang Wensi is a very powerful person. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he followed Wei Xiaokuan and participated in pacifying the Yuchijun Rebellion. At that time, he was almost on the same level as Yu Wenshu.
After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian was granted the title of Zhengping County Duke. The reason why he and his younger brother Yang Wenji prospered in the Sui Dynasty were all due to Yang Su.
The rise of Yang Su was the key reason why Hongnong Yang became the first clan in the Sui Dynasty. He vigorously supported his people, so much so that Hongnong Yang published five ministers in the short history of the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Su is the right servant of Shangshu, his uncle Yang Wensi is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, his uncle Yang Wenji is the minister of Zongzheng Temple and the minister of Huangmen, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he also served as the general manager of Jingzhou. The clan father Yang Yi is the worker.
He was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and his son Yang Xuangan was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
If Yang Yue is added to the list, who can rival the Guanzhong family?
Of course, because of the existence of Yang Ming in this life, the historical line has been greatly rewritten. Yang Wenji has no chance to be the general manager of Jingzhou. He died in the fourth year of Renshou, one year later than in history.
Yang Wensi was not the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the second-ranking minister of Guanglu Temple in the Eleventh Temple.
Yang Yi also died.
Therefore, the current Hongnong Yang is indeed far less powerful than he was in history.
Yang Ming will indeed seriously consider Yang Lihua's suggestion. So far, Pei Ju is definitely more useful to him. If he has to choose, he will definitely choose Pei Ju.
But there is a bigger and bigger problem that Yang Ming must consider.
That is the issue of his successor.
If he chooses Pei Ju and completely corrects Pei Shuying, then Yang Rui will be in a very embarrassing situation, as he is his eldest son.
The rule of ordering elders and younger ones cannot be broken, especially if Yang Ming successfully inherits the throne in the future, then his heir can only be the eldest son.
Even if Yang Rui at that time was not as good as his brothers in all aspects, he could only be Yang Rui, and he had to be Yang Rui.
Otherwise, once the elder is deposed, it will be a tragic situation of brothers and sisters fighting each other and killing each other.
In history, Li Shimin is a living example before us. He used his second child to kill his eldest son and forced his father to abdicate.
The result? His eldest son Li Chengqian followed suit and planned to force him to abdicate. Just because he favored his second son Li Tai, Li Chengqian, who was lame after falling from his horse, felt a sense of crisis.
In order to avoid this problem, Yang Ming needs to cultivate Yang Rui early and leave his other sons aside. If Yang Rui is really unable to support him and has great character flaws, then he and his biological mother Yang Yinjiang can be considered abolished.
As long as Yang Rui can make sense, he can't move.
Yang Ming felt more and more that he seemed to be gradually becoming a lonely person, taking into account Yang Yinjiang, who cared about him the most.
It cannot be denied that Yang Yinjiang is very strong, very capable, and knows how to win over people's hearts and has a tough hand, but what cannot be ignored is that she is also a good wife who considers her husband in everything and frequently sucks the blood of her mother's family.
Yang Ming had been sitting on the porch outside Chen Shuyi's dormitory for two hours. The full moon was high and the night breeze was blowing. He was not sleepy at all.
Chen Shuyi was leaning in his arms, careless and already asleep.
Looking down at Chen Shuyi's face, Yang Ming finally put his mind back, thinking what he was doing so far away? He still didn't know what was going on.
Which family has not considered the issue of heirs? Everyone wants to avoid problems, but problems still occur in the end.
It seems useless to think about this at the moment. Who knows how it will develop in the future?
I haven't become the heir yet.
Yang Jian has already abolished the elder and established the younger. If he steps over Yang Jian and becomes the prince, he will also abolish the elder and establish the younger. These are two living examples. In the future, the Sui Dynasty will not all follow this path, right?
Yang Ming had a headache, so he simply picked up Chen Shuyi and returned to the dormitory. After comforting her to sleep, he went directly back to his dormitory.
As soon as she entered the house, Yang Yinjiang was awakened. After knowing that her husband had returned, she hurriedly got down and undressed Yang Ming herself while sleepily.
"I thought you weren't coming back tonight?" Yang Yinjiang asked the maid to bring a basin of hot water to wash Yang Ming's feet.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "I remembered something and wanted to discuss it with you."
"What's going on?" Yang Yinjiang squatted on the ground and asked Mihu.
Yang Ming said: "I plan to help Yang Wensi go up there, preferably to the Shangshu Province, but there is no suitable place for him in the Shangshu Province right now, so we have to wait. If there is a chance in the future, we will get him up first.
, when you are free, say hello to the clan and let them be mentally prepared."
Yang Yinjiang gradually woke up. After pondering for a while, she nodded and said: "He is a bit older, but he is also very capable. He can be competent for any minister. By the way, why do you think so suddenly?"
"I'm thinking about how to reset you," Yang Ming said with a smile, "When we fight again in the future, it's always good to have an extra helper."
Yang Yinjiang looked aggrieved for a moment, lowered her head and said:
"I don't care about myself. Although I am deposed, everything is the same at home, and there is no difference. But what about Rui'er? Mother is more valuable than son, and son is more valuable than mother. If my status is not right, how should Rui'er deal with herself?
?And Qi'er."
Yang Ming nodded and said: "I will find a way, but don't be jealous of Ayun because of this. All of this is my father's method to check and balance the court. It's just that unfortunately, you two have become pawns."
"I'm not worried about Ayun, I'm only worried about Pei Ju," Yang Yinjiang sighed: "My father really hurt me this time. We and the Pei family used to be very good, but now they seem to be inseparable, and whenever there is a rift,
It will not be easy to recover in the future.”
"Why don't I worry about this?" Yang Ming sighed: "Take your time."
After saying that, Yang Ming raised his feet and let his wife dry him, then got into the bed and fell asleep holding Yang Yinjiang.
Supporting Yang Wensi would break the balance between the Yang family and the Pei family in the court, which Yang Guang did not want to see.
But Yang Ming had to do this, and he had to settle this matter before he became the crown prince, otherwise things would be in trouble once Pei Ju went off to fight.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Balance, triangle is best, and mutual restraint is the most stable state. One or two factions can be added appropriately, but the main three factions must be equally matched.
In the current court, although Hongnong Yang is in decline, it is enough to become a faction. Pei Ju's rise again is another faction, plus the King of Qi's party formed by Yu Wenshu Laihu'er.
These three factions will be the key to stabilizing the court in the next few years.
Su Wei suffered a lot of losses due to the ups and downs due to party strife. Now that he is older, he no longer wants to participate. Niu Hong is an insulator from party strife and has always remained neutral.
As for the clan faction, it is the royalist faction and does not participate in the internal fighting in the court.
In this way, if Yu Wenshu is the second child in the future, Yu Wenshu cannot be moved. If Yu Wenshu has to be pulled down, the Yang family and the Pei family will have to follow suit in order to maintain balance.
This is the power of the emperor. It doesn't matter whether you are loyal or traitorous, wise or foolish, as long as it is useful to me.
If you want to help Yang Yinjiang recover, you have to find someone to blame.
The King of Qin's entry into the army was his own idea, but in the end it was Yang Yinjiang who built momentum in the capital, so that the King of Qi took advantage of it and dragged his wife away.
After all, Yang Yinjiang helped him.
Then the only person who could blame Yang Yinjiang was Yang Yue, because Yang Guang was in Luoyang at that time, and Yang Yue and Yang Yinjiang were in the capital.
It depends on whether Yang Yue is willing to sacrifice. If he is not willing, he can't help it.
So the next night, Yang Ming quietly went to the home of Huang Fenglin, the imperial censor.
Huang Fenglin is from Yushitai, and it is his job to complain about this kind of thing.
"The interval between the events was only a year and a half. Is there any way you can find some personal and material evidence to prove that the three-day celebration of the capital at that time, and the song about King Qin's entry into the battle performed by the dance troupe, was hosted by Yang Yue and had nothing to do with Princess Qin?
"Yang Ming asked.
Although Huang Fenglin was curious, he didn't ask more and nodded:
"It was very easy. At that time, the princess had just given birth to her second son and was in confinement. When His Highness came to Beijing, the princess could not leave the city to greet her. Everyone saw this, and it was indeed Yang Zhongshu who kept showing up."
Yang Ming smiled and nodded: "If you can do this well, I will give you the official position of the fifth rank, whichever one you want, don't worry about the Yang family looking for you, this will not happen, just pay attention
Just do it with peace of mind.”
With Yang Ming's words, Huang Fenglin felt relieved. He was indeed worried about angering the Yang family. If a person like him with no origin or background dared to offend the first family in Guanzhong, he would die without knowing how.
And he probably guessed why Yang Ming did this, and he knew what to do.
At that time, Yang Ming left the capital to attack Tuguhun, and Yang Guang was in Luoyang again. The garrison of the capital was temporarily taken over by Yang Rui, king of Hedong, and Yang Yue assisted in the administration.
But everyone knew in their hearts that it was Princess Qin who finally nodded.
So in Luoyang at that time, Yu Wenshuhe came to protect them with a clear goal, which was to go to Yang Yinjiang, because they also knew that it was impossible to bring down Yang Ming because of such a thing.
Facts have proved that they were successful and caused a fire in Yang Ming's backyard, causing tension between the Yang and Pei families.
If Yang Yue can successfully handle this crime this time, it won't matter if he is dismissed from office. As long as Yang Yinjiang survives, he will still have a chance in the future.
Who made the court of the Sui Dynasty have this style? As long as the backstage does not collapse, then nothing will happen. If you find an opportunity to operate it in the future, you can come back with your head held high.
After leaving Huang Fenglin's house, Yang Ming went directly to Yang Lihua's place.
Didn't they promise to help with this? Then the matter of recommending Yang Wensi had to rely on others. It was inconvenient for Yang Ming to come forward because Pei Ju would have random thoughts.
We can't let Pei Ju think about it now. Once Pei Ju gets his thoughts, Yang Ming can't guarantee that he can suppress them.
Now he is the right servant of the minister, in charge of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Punishment. He also serves as the governor of his subordinates and has the power to participate in elections. He is completely on an equal footing with Su Wei.
