Yang Lihua was really angry. Yang Ming inherited the future of their old Yang family. He was the successor of the Sui Dynasty and the future lord of the people. We couldn't let him have hardships.
"Don't believe this person's words. A foreign sorcerer's words cannot be true." Yang Lihua noticed that Yang Ming's face was not good-looking and quickly comforted him softly.
Yang Ming actually doesn't care very much. How can he not know whether he is suffering or not?
I'm so miserable with such a father.
"My nephew is the prince now. If he wants to inherit the ancestral business in the future, he will have to walk on thin ice every step of the way." Yang Ming said with a smile, "It's not difficult for me, but it will be difficult for everyone in the world. My aunt should understand."
Yang Lihua was stunned, sighed and nodded.
"It's really embarrassing for you. In the old Zhou Dynasty, your grandfather had different ambitions and wanted to seize the throne. At that time, I felt that something was not good. If things go well, life will be wasted and difficult. If things fail, everything will come to an end. Fortunately, your grandfather
After taking the throne, he eradicated the long-standing abuses and worked hard on reforms. He was diligent in political affairs and carried out orders and prohibitions. Every time he listened to the court, he was tired and exhausted, and his body was exhausted. It was your grandfather who shouldered the responsibility for the establishment of the emperor for twenty years.
There is nothing better than this for a saint."
Yang Ming nodded, "So, Yuan Tiangang's calculation is actually correct. State affairs and civil affairs are very difficult. I, the Yang family, are in charge of the world. I should worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness. My nephew has long been mentally prepared.
"
Yang Lihua was dumbfounded and murmured: "Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness. As the crown prince, you should be a blessing to my Yang family."
Yang Ming did not stay with Yang Lihua for long. After chatting for a while, he left the eldest princess' mansion.
While he was out of the palace, he wanted to see Gao Yue.
The current public security situation in the capital is extremely poor. This is still the capital. You can imagine that other places will definitely be more chaotic.
There was no other way, the soldiers had been transferred away, and those local gangsters did not have enough manpower to restrain them, so they became more and more unscrupulous.
Big families are not afraid, because when they go out, they are surrounded by a group of people, but ordinary people have a difficult life.
Every day before the curfew, the doors and windows of every house are closed for fear of thieves, robbers, child theft, and women trafficking.
Because food prices have soared, business order has been disrupted. Without food, people will take desperate risks. Therefore, more than a dozen murders occur in the capital almost every day. This is the most chaotic period since the founding of the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Xiong is in charge of Jing Zhaoyin, and he should do this. However, he is old and his physical condition has not been very good recently. He has already told Yang Ming that he intends to step down from Jing Zhaoyin's job.
Not everyone can sit in this position. This is Jing Zhaoyin, the top leader in the capital.
Even Yang Yue's younger brother Yang Yue, the Duke of Cangshan County, doesn't have this qualification.
Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, there are only a few people who have sat in this position, including Jin Duke Yu Qingze, Su Wei, Wei Wang Yang Shuang, Yishi County Duke Li Yu (the third uncle of Li Mi), and Yang Xiong.
To put it bluntly, if someone is not absolutely reliable, he will not let you do it.
At present, the whole country is unstable and the capital is also in chaos. It will not work without heavy ceremony.
Therefore, the person who can take over this position must not only be reliable, but also ruthless. However, there are not many ruthless people in the court now. Many of the ruthless people during the Kaihuang period have retired. Yang Yue is far away in Liaodong, and Yang Ming
I can't think of a suitable candidate right away.
When he saw Gao Yue, he was naturally shy. A farewell was better than a wedding. Yang Ming was so busy all night that he was late for the court meeting the next day.
After hearing about the great victory in Shandong, the ministers were still very excited. In their opinion, defeating Goguryeo was a sure thing, but in Shandong, this was not necessarily the case.
Internal worries are always more important than external ones, and maintaining stability is the top priority.
After Cui Zhongfang learned that Yang Xiong intended to resign from Jing Zhaoyin, he quickly recommended himself.
"The current situation is unstable. Bandits are still rampant in our capital. It can be seen that the local area is even more raging. However, it is not suitable to build large-scale prisons at the moment, but we cannot let it go. I think that a few thorns should be captured and beheaded to show to the public to serve as a warning. I would like to temporarily take over
Jing Zhaoyin, maintain the stability of the capital."
In terms of qualifications, this person is definitely qualified, but he has two conditions that are not up to standard. First, Yang Ming thinks that the other party is unreliable, and second, you are too old.
You are already seventy-three and Yang Xiong can't bear it anymore. Do you want to bear it?
But Yang Ming couldn't refuse directly, he had to save face for others.
"If Mr. Gu'an is willing to take over, I will naturally be happy to see him, but you are already old and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."
"To share your Majesty's and the Crown Prince's worries, I should dedicate myself to my duty until my death," Cui Zhongfang said.
Everyone can say that you are obedient, but not everyone can do it. Gao Xi will never say this, but people practice it.
Yang Xiong could tell that Yang Ming was not happy, but he would not let the prince say anything unpleasant, so he said
"Mr. Cui, don't blame me for speaking too bluntly. At this time, the position of Jing Zhaoyin still needs to be filled by cruel officials. You are kind-hearted and soft-handed, so it is better not to do such offending things."
Cui Zhongfang said, "It's just to deal with some local gangsters. Are you afraid of offending them?"
Liang Bidao, the Minister of Punishment, said, "The person who takes over this position is going to kill people. As you get older, don't accumulate these karma anymore."
Cui Zhongfang believes in Buddhism, and he can see that this position probably has nothing to do with him anymore. The previous one rejected you, and the prince's attitude is vague, so forget it.
"What Mr. Liang said makes sense. Since you have to use cruel officials, shouldn't it be your duty to recruit people from the Ministry of Punishment? But who in the Ministry of Punishment has this qualification?" Cui Zhongfang did not forget to sarcastically say to the other party.
Sun Chi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, is sitting here with an expressionless face. Jing Zhaoyin is the most favored local official in the Sui Dynasty. Jing Zhaoyin is equivalent to the prefect of Jingzhao County. He is also the most powerful and highest-ranking prefect in the world. He is the third rank.
As the saying goes, the wealth should not flow to outsiders, so the prince favors the clan. This position is not suitable for people with foreign surnames.
Yang Ming did consider Liang Wang Yang Hao, but this guy was good at making money, but if he was asked to arrest and treat people, he was afraid that he would enrich his own pockets and only make money, not people.
Yang Hao is also in the main hall now. He, the general of Zuotunwei, did not follow him to the front line because he knew nothing about leading an army and he himself was unwilling to go. He was a prince and there was no need to merit a title.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Can you do it?" Yang Ming frowned and looked at Yang Hao.
Ah? Let me do it? I'm afraid I can't do it? Yang Hao stood up with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "I have no experience in governing local areas and am not familiar with government affairs. I may not be able to take on a big job. If I just arrest people and kill them, I can do it."
But Jing Zhaoyin doesn’t just arrest people.”
You are self-aware, Yang Ming was also happy, and raised his hand to motion for the other person to sit down.
Now, everyone could see that the prince had no suitable candidate in mind.
So, all his subordinates also left. Li Hun, the general of the Right Xiaowei who had not left, said:
"How about I take it temporarily and give it a try? Wait until His Majesty comes back and then we will decide on the candidate."
He came back from Luoyang, and his subordinates Xin Shixiong and Zhao Cai both went to Liaodong. He is old and does not want to follow the expedition. I am already the Duke of Ye, so why should I bother? Why? Set up a function for me
Can you be crowned king?
This person is so sinister and ruthless that he can attack his own nephew. Isn't that ruthless enough? But you are too ruthless and have no bottom line as a human being.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "I will consider it, and we will discuss it again."
When his father Yang Guang was here, Yang Ming didn't have a good look towards some people he couldn't stand, but now that he has been imprisoned, he has changed.
No matter who he is, he has to take care of both. He should not treat others based on preference, and there should not be distinctions between good and bad people. All ministers are the same to him.
Discussions went on and on, but in the end no solution was reached.
After all, this position is too important, and Yang Ming needs to worry about his father's thoughts. In other words, the person who takes over must also be in his father's favour.
"Forget it, it's vacant for now. Let's wait until His Majesty comes back to decide," Yang Ming looked at Sun Chi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, and said
"Public security in the capital will be temporarily taken over by the Criminal Department. Anyone who steals, robs or abducts will be punished by death. Kill a group of people first to suppress the momentum."
Changsun Chi nodded, "I will make arrangements."
"Let's dismiss the court," Yang Ming stood up and left.
The reason why he didn't want to discuss this position again was because he suddenly thought of a very suitable candidate.
Li Yuan in Jinyang.
Yang Ming hoped to get Li Yuan back as soon as possible, but Li Yuan's vision was too high. He came back for a ministerial book, but the ministerial book does not mean that the vacancy will be vacant.
Therefore, Jing Zhaoyin is the best springboard. You can work on it first when you come back and talk about it in the future.
But Li Yuan would have to wait at least a year before returning to Beijing, so Yang Ming couldn't let others occupy this position. Once occupied, it would be difficult to move them away if you wanted to.
Is Li Hun a fool? What people say about temporarily accepting it is actually a sloppy statement. If he sits on it, see if he is willing to get down.
After returning to the East Palace, Yuan Tiangang was already waiting for him here.
Yesterday, Yang Ming ordered Pei Shuang to prepare this person and bring him into the palace. It was not because of the results of his fortune telling yesterday, but because this person was so famous in history.
In Fantasy Westward Journey, he has been stuck on the rooftop of Chang'an for many years.
There is no real talent under the great reputation, and such talents cannot be buried.
"The secretary is appointed Taishi Cao, who is in charge of astronomy and calendar. You can be a supervisor."
Yuan Tiangang originally thought that the prince would settle the score with him, but he didn't expect that he would settle the score with the official, but he still couldn't let go.
Because I will be an official under the prince's nose from now on, I'm afraid the days to come will be difficult, and I won't be as carefree as I was before.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and said
"You don't think Gu is discussing with you, do you?"
"No, no, the common people are willing to go to the Secretariat Province," Yuan Tiangang said quickly.
Yang Ming frowned and said, "But you don't seem happy at all?"
Yuan Tiangang said with a grimace, "This is the important place in the imperial city and the residence of nobles. I'm afraid that more and more nobles will come to me to read fortunes. If I get it wrong, I will be doomed."
Yang Ming smiled, "So you're afraid of death. If I don't kill you, who dares to kill you?"
What else can Yuan Tiangang say? This is not a consultation with him, but a favor.
"The common people thank the prince for his kindness."
