Chapter 438 The good relationship between Qin and Jin
Hedong Pei and Hongnong Yang are currently in a delicate relationship. Pei Ju specially told the clan not to have any conflicts with Hongnong Yang and to get along well with each other.
The more such an order is given, the more clearly the people in the clan know what to do. Everyone will not say it explicitly on any occasion, but they know very well in their hearts that the old Pei family and the old Yang family are in opposing positions, but the time has not yet come.
That's all.
All the big families in Hedong have a very deep connection with the Guanzhong Group. Firstly, it is because of geographical reasons, they are too close to Guanzhong, and secondly, it is historical reasons, that is, the relationship between Qin and Jin Dynasty.
The two places, Shanxi and Shaanxi, have had a very close relationship since ancient times. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the big families in these two places have been constantly marrying each other. You have me and you have a close relationship.
Therefore, the big families in Hedong have always been considered to belong to the aristocratic group in Guanzhong, and their influence in the center is not comparable to that of the big families in Luoyang.
Pei Nanjin believes that since the prince has reported this matter to His Majesty, the private sale of the kiln can basically be settled, and everyone knows that His Majesty intends to conquer Goguryeo, so the kiln that is popular in his hometown will play a very important role in the future.
.
"That's what I think," Pei Yun said: "The canal has been completed, and the Chi Road is being built. The expedition to Goguryeo will only take about two years. If we can supply enough ordnance to Taifu Temple in these two years,
His Majesty will definitely be very happy there, his old man is happy, and with the prince helping us to speak up, the family may be able to make further progress."
The Pei family doesn't care about money. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. Now the family only relies on Pei Ju to support them. After all, there is a gap between them and Hongnong Yang. After all, although Yang Su is dead, his power is still there.
Yang Yue has also been trying to find a way to come back. Once this person comes back, the situation of the Pei family will not be good.
Pei Yun's meaning is very clear, he hopes that the family will fund the kiln and give him all the benefits in the future, so that he can move up the ladder and become the twin stars of the clan with Pei Ju, thereby suppressing other forces in the court.
This is realistic, because at present, apart from Pei Ju, Pei Yun has the most potential in the Pei family. He does not have a title, and his title is too low, so there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Others naturally heard what he meant, but many people were not happy because Pei Yun and his branch came back from Jiuchen and were not a direct branch stationed in Hedong.
Pei Renji is not very happy. He feels that he is the most promising one. Recently, he has been looking for help from Pei Ju and Li Jing and wants to move up. Now the time is ripe.
General Zuotunwei became vacant. Shi Wansui was the first to serve. Later, Shi Wansui resigned and Changsun Sheng took over. However, Changsun Sheng died.
He is bound to get this position, Pei Ju is also willing to help, and with the help of his old boss Li Jing, Duke of the State of Restoration, this matter will most likely be accomplished.
The legitimate son of Li Jing, the Duke of the State of Rest, is not very famous, but he had a concubine who was very good. Unfortunately, he is already dead. He is the former Minister of War, Li Yuantong. In the history of Li Jing's branch, there was a descendant named Li Sheng.
The seventy-two generals of Liewu Temple.
"I agree with Pei Yun's statement," Pei Renji said: "This is an opportunity given to us by the prince. In fact, given the relationship between the prince and us, this greeting is completely unnecessary. He wants to open a kiln in Wenxi, how can we
Maybe they don’t support it? But they still gave us a chance, so I thought that the prince wanted to take care of us, and we would take the lead, but it would be under the prince’s name.”
"This is a reasonable statement," said Pei Xian, who was in charge: "The prince's plan is for the country and the king. We are just green leaves to help, and we must not overwhelm the guest. In the future, as long as the prince speaks for us, the future of the children of the clan will be safe."
Pei Zi, the doctor who was discussing this, said: "Money is not a problem, and the amount is not a problem. Shiju will definitely find ways to reveal our thoughts to His Majesty. Ayun is still favored in the East Palace. This opportunity may be given by the Ayun Gang."
We fought for it, and as my family, we must handle this matter beautifully and not lose this person to Ayun."
"Then let's say hello to Hedong as soon as possible," Pei Nanjin said: "Hasn't the prince selected the mining site? Let's arrange for manpower to go there early and repair the road first."
"In that case," Pei Xian said, "then everyone should report how much they can contribute, and the Hedong clan must also contribute. If anyone makes a mistake in this matter, he should go find Shiju to explain himself."
Next, everyone gathered money, and in a short time, they had already collected one million yuan.
Pei Yun is responsible for connecting with Yang Ming, so he will inform Yang Ming of the results of tonight's meeting.
After the court meeting the next day, Cui Junsu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, came with Liu Xuan.
"Do you know why Gu is looking for love?" Yang Ming asked the other party to sit down and smiled.
Liu Xuan is young, in his fifties, dressed like an old master. As the saying goes, he is full of poetry and calligraphy. The first impression Liu Xuan gives people is that he is a very knowledgeable person.
"Back to the prince, I think the prince intends to use me."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "When Mr. was in court, he was criticized for having a low moral character. How could I use such a person?"
"Whether I have a bad character or not, it is not up to others to say," Liu Xuan said: "I believe in my own talents and often act arrogantly, so I will naturally be criticized unreasonably. If my character is really defective, the prince will not see me today."
This person didn't take Pei Ju seriously back then, and of course, Pei Ju didn't take him seriously either, so those who finally complained were only some of Liu Xuan's colleagues and a few of Taichang Temple's superiors. The real ones
The big guys are very particular and would not bother to deal with a scholar.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "In the 20th year since the founding of the Emperor, Emperor Gaozu abolished all government-run schools in prefectures and counties. You were the most opposed to it. Why did you oppose it?"
Liu Xuandao: "Emperor Gaozu was far-sighted and established a school early, thinking that we would be able to select good talents during the Sui Dynasty. However, the local collusion and violation of policies led to such an enlightened national policy being abandoned and turned upside down. I thought at the time that the main reason why this policy could not be abolished was because it was abolished.
It is easier to establish than to establish. As long as the school remains, we can gradually reform its system and make it gradually more enlightened. If the school is abolished, it will be extremely difficult to set up again."
"Why is it so difficult to reach the sky?" Yang Ming said with a smile.
Liu Xuan replied: "The schools in the prefectures and counties provide convenience for the children of officials in the prefectures and counties. However, the power of appointment in the Sui Dynasty has always been in the central government, in the Shangshu Province. Therefore, the disadvantage of the schools lies in the power struggle between the central government and the localities.
Once the school is abolished, the power of local officials will be restricted, one will wax and wane, and the central power will become more concentrated, so we will not agree to the establishment of another school."
"So what do you think, how can we set up schools in local areas?" Yang Ming asked.
Liu Xuan sighed and said: "There is no solution at the moment. Emperor Gaozu tried his best to implement this policy against all opinions. The Central Committee has tasted the bitterness. How can it be agreed again?"
"Then you should focus more on this matter from now on and put some effort into it. I hope you can help Gu find a solution," Yang Ming said.
Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Then I will be trapped in a place of eternal disaster."
"Heaven will give you a great responsibility," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Then what position do you think Gu Wei will give you?"
Liu Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "Since it is a big job, it should be in a high position. It is probably the crown prince's death."
"I will take office tomorrow, go back and prepare," Yang Ming said with a smile.
This man had a very high reputation among the scholars, higher than Wang Tong, and he had a clear understanding of many issues. In the past, his official position was small, and his words were slight. But now that he has become the prince, his words will naturally have weight.
This position must have the same political thinking as Yang Ming, and other aspects are not Yang Ming's priority.
After Liu Xuan left, Yang Ming wrote a memorial to his father. He praised Liu Xuan very much and said that he liked Liu Xuan very much. He thought he was the perfect candidate for Prince Xian Ma, and there was almost no chance that his father would object.
Because Yang Guang has long seen that his son no longer needs anyone else to teach him, it doesn't matter whether there is a prince or not.
Su Lie came back and stayed in Yiwu for nearly a year. After the new governor Wang Wei successfully took over and began to rebuild Yiwu City, Su Lie no longer needed to stay, so he led his troops back.
Zhangye and Dunhuang assigned two thousand people to Wang Wei to guard Yiwu City in the future.
Su Lie's return also brought bad news. The Chuluo tribe had been completely eliminated by Yang Guang, but Shekui Khan wiped out the entire Western Turks in a few months and became the new Great Khan.
The Western Turks, whose vitality was greatly weakened, did not dare to antagonize the Sui Dynasty at the moment, so they always hoped that Pei Ju would fulfill his promise and give Shekui a princess to marry.
Pei Ju, on the other hand, completely pretended to be stupid and made no move, which made Gao Changguo's current situation very embarrassing, because the Western Turks are the overlord of the Western Regions, and I haven't even married a princess, so how can you?
Therefore, under the instruction of Shekui, the Western Turks frequently harassed Gaochang, and the king of Gaochang, Qu Boya, asked the Sui Dynasty for help.
"I will bring this matter to the court tomorrow. After all your hard work, you are allowed to rest for five days and come back to report on your work after five days." Yang Ming and Su Lie were walking in the East Palace together and asked casually:
"By the way, are you seventeen or eighteen this year?"
Su Lie said: "I'm eighteen."
"It's time to get married," Yang Ming said, "Go for this year's spring outing. Tell me which girl you like, and I'll make the decision for you."
It is inconvenient for Yang Ming to directly find a match for Su Lie because he has no access to anyone from a high-ranking family below. Su Lie's background and position make it very difficult to find a wife from the Guanzhong Group.
So it would be most appropriate to let him find it on his own and have Yang Ming endorse him in the end.
Su Lie said embarrassedly: "Not everyone can go on the spring outing. I am from a humble background, so I might not be qualified."
"This time you are successful in defeating Yiwu. I got a general Guo Yilang and left you a position as a Qianniu Bei Shen. You can go as the Crown Prince Qian Niu Bei Shen. No one will stop you.
," Yang Ming said.
Su Lie was originally the king of Qin Ku Zhi, but the prince did not have the position of Ku Zhi, but Ku Zhi and Qian Niu Beishen did the same thing.
"Thank you for your promotion, Your Highness!" Su Lie half-knelt on the ground.
Yang Ming kicked him on the knee and said: "Get up! You are mine. I have always planned your affairs in my heart. Don't do this when there are no outsiders."
Su Lie felt warm in his heart, saluted again, and received another kick from Yang Ming.
He is absolutely loyal to Yang Ming, not because Yang Ming can make him go higher, but because Yang Ming treats him sincerely.
Some people's sincerity requires Yang Ming's scheming to exchange for it, while some people can only exchange their sincerity for their sincerity.
