When Yang Guang left this time, he didn't take many high-ranking officials with him. Many big shots in the court stayed, because he knew in his heart that he was just going out to play and took away all the officials, and the country was still functioning.
Not working anymore?
Su Wei, Niu Hong, Pei Ju, Duan Wenzhen and Yan Bi were taken away by him.
Pei Ju really didn't want to follow him around, because he went out often, and the time he spent in contact with Yang Ming would be reduced. As a result, the relationship between Yang Yue and Dong Gong became closer and closer, which was not what he wanted to see.
Among the people who stayed in Beijing this time, the most surprising one was Yu Wenshu.
Yang Ming knew in his heart that this person was left by his father to keep an eye on him, because Yu Wenshu was only loyal to the emperor.
It is very normal for the emperor to be wary of the prince, and Yang Ming wants to rebel against his father, but it is not that easy now. Most of the sixteen guards are loyal to the emperor.
For now, the risks of Yang Ming's rebellion outweigh the benefits, so he won't do it for the time being. After all, Goguryeo was successfully destroyed. Although Yang Guang went on a southern tour this year, it was still calm and he didn't cause any major trouble.
Warrior Xun married Yang Miaozhi home, but less than two months later, she became pregnant. Yang Ming had to admire Warrior Xun's hit rate, which was quite high.
I don’t know if there is any possibility that Wu Zetian will be born in this life. After all, Yang Miaozhi is not forty-four this year, but thirty-four. She may not necessarily give birth to three daughters like in history. She may have a son.
maybe.
Yang Ming, who had finished his vacation, continued to preside over the daily court meeting and check the list of scholars who submitted this year's report.
"I believe that this year's candidates from Hebei and Shandong should be given preferential treatment. This will have a great effect on appeasing the local people." The person who said this was of course Lu Chu from Hebei.
He is now a mere commander, and most of the people in the Internal History Province have followed Yang Guang, but he, the chief officer, has not left.
Wei Jin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, immediately retorted: "Scientific examination is to select talented people in the world. Favoring others and favoring others is contrary to the original intention of the court. There is no need for fairness. Where is the credibility of the country?"
The number of people in the small court meeting under Yang Ming's supervision was not as large as when Yang Guang was there, only about thirty people. These people were actually enough. The situation of Yang Guang's court meeting was actually inappropriate. Many national plans could not be left to the emperor.
Many people know it.
Because the country also has plots and conspiracies.
Just like what Lu Chu proposed today, taking care of Shandong and Hebei is tantamount to trampling on fairness underfoot.
But doesn’t what he said make sense? It makes sense, and it’s very reasonable.
This involves the vital interests of the Guanzhong Group and groups outside Guanzhong.
Yang Yue also expressed his support for Wei Jin, saying:
"One thing is another thing. The court will not stop appeasing Shandong and Hebei, but we cannot do tricks in the scientific examination because of this. If it is really leaked, wouldn't it make the world's scholars feel chilled?"
"Who will leak it?" Cui Zhongfang, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said: "The affairs of the court meeting must not be spread to outsiders. This has been expressly prohibited by all dynasties since ancient times. It is also written clearly in my Daye Law. None of you sitting here today.
It will spread."
Is there really none? Yes, there are too many, but they will only tell some strict-mouthed people in their own family so that the family can make correct judgments on any policies of the court and respond in a timely manner.
Yang Yue smiled and said: "Both of you are from Hebei, so it seems inappropriate to talk about preferential treatment for Hebei scholars here, right?"
"Why is it wrong?" Cui Junsu, the third minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Hebei Province, said:
"The imperial court has issued a document stating that officials of the fifth rank and above are not allowed to refer to marriage. We have no selfish motives. In the current situation, if we can take care of Hebei in terms of scientific research, it will be easier for Yu Juluo to do things there. This will be beneficial to the country.
"
Relative relationships in China are very complicated, and if I were to expand on them, it would be endless.
But they can be roughly divided into three categories: clan relatives, maternal relatives, and wife relatives.
Clan is a lineage family with paternal blood as the link and the ancestor who got the surname as the main root. It is divided into direct lineage and collateral lineage.
Direct lineal relatives include great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, sons, daughters, grandsons/granddaughters, etc.; collateral relatives include uncles/uncles, cousins, nephews/nieces, grandnephews/grandnephews, etc.
Cui Junsu refers to the direct relatives of the two generations above and two generations below based on himself.
For example, Cui Junsu is a third-level official. His son and grandson are not allowed to take the scientific examination. As for his father and grandfather, forget about it. If you want others to participate, you have to go down and find them.
At the moment, Yang Ming can only be restricted to such a narrow range. If you change the marriage room to a first-class room, there is no way you can pass it.
What is a hall?
The first hall is further divided into the first hall and the second hall. The first hall already covers your grandfather’s generation, and the first hall goes even further to your great-grandfather, which includes all the descendants of your grandfather and great-grandfather. This is a large group of people.
, you cannot prevent others from it.
This year is just a test of the waters, so the restrictions should be smaller, that is, to avoid people like Xu Jingzong. Your father is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and you actually took the scientific examination? You still passed the exam.
The current scientific examinations in the Sui Dynasty still cannot be separated from formalism. If Yang Ming wants to change it, he can only take it slowly and kick out those sons who are in the fifth grade.
The three Hebei people have unified their opinions. They hope that the court will favor Hebei and Shandong. The Guanzhong Group definitely disagrees, because in this way, their vital interests will be damaged.
It means that the country is recruiting so many civil servants this year, and Hebei and Shandong account for most of the places, so wouldn’t I be short?
The two sides fought back and forth, but the Hebei trio did not lose at all because these three were in high positions. Yang Guang's plan to support aristocratic families outside Guanzhong was initially reflected.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing," Yang Ming raised his hand, interrupting the hour-long verbal battle.
Yang Ming said calmly:
"At the beginning of the establishment of the scientific examination, Emperor Gaozu gave the world's scholars a fair opportunity to become officials. As Yang Yue said, one code should be treated as one. To appease Hebei and Shandong, we need to find ways in other aspects to give preferential treatment to the scientific examination.
Appropriate. This is a slight on the scholars of Hebei. The three of you fight for them. This is a good intention. But do the scholars of Hebei think why I need preferential treatment from the court? Am I worse than the scholars in other places?
?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cui Zhongfang nodded and said: "In terms of the origin of knowledge, Hebei and Shandong are as good as any place in the world."
This is the truth, but some people don't like to hear such truth. Wei Zhen snorted coldly: "The old Qi occupied Shandong and Hebei and established a country with culture. What will be the end?"
As soon as these words came out, the group was basically divided.
Yang Ming grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at Wei Zhen, and deliberately missed it. If he really wanted to hit it, it would not end well.
Wei Zhen suddenly fell silent, lowering her head and not daring to say a word.
"If you say this again, I will never forgive you!" Yang Ming looked around at the crowd and said.
The ministers hurriedly said: Prince, please calm down.
Yang Ming looked at Wei Zhen and said in a deep voice: "Kyushu and the four seas are all the territory of the Sui Dynasty. Don't make such nonsense again. I think you just made a quick statement, so I won't pursue it."
Wei Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "I made a mistake."
After saying that, he stood up, bowed his hands towards Cui Zhongfang and the other two people and said, "Look at you, Gong Haihan."
The three of them also quickly said it didn't matter, they knew it was an unintentional mistake.
The three of them are trying to save the prince's face. Wei Zhen's daughter is the prince's woman. If the prince scolds her, he won't really pursue it.
Although Yang Ming said that the scientific examination must be fair, he actually accepted Lu Chu's suggestion in his heart.
There were many examiners for the final imperial examination, but the one who nodded in the end was Yang Ming, so he could definitely take care of Hebei and Shandong.
But he can't say it explicitly, he can only do it quietly. Even if everyone sees that the prince favors Hebei and Shandong, you can't say anything because they have made it clear today: Be fair.
Do you dare to say that others are unfair?
So, don’t look at what people say, but look at how they act.
For people in power like Yang Ming, duplicity is a basic quality.
The Guanzhong Group will definitely be divided. This is out of consideration for the overall interests of the country. It can also effectively appease Shandong and Hebei. Why not do it?
Yu Wenshu said nothing at today's court meeting. When the emperor was away, he felt unsure.
During these days, he would return home as soon as possible after a court meeting. He would decline anyone who invited him to a banquet, just waiting for Chen Shuyi's arrival.
After this period of struggle and Yang Yinjiang's persuasion, Chen Shuyi finally made up her mind and went to Xu Guogong's mansion.
Yang Yinjiang is the most intelligent person. He guessed that her husband's intention was to cut off the connection between Yu Wenshu and Yang Jian. He only looked at the review of the Ministry of War. Her husband didn't even look at it, so he knew that this was to temporarily let Yu Wenshu go.
horse.
Is Yu Wenshu a greater threat or Yang Jian? Yang Yinjiang thought with her buttocks and knew who to deal with first.
In the Sui Dynasty, the Duke was at the first level. Under normal circumstances, a woman of the first rank would only kneel down. Chen Shuyi was not qualified to let the Duke kneel down.
Especially this prince, who was once considered her father.
But Yang Guang had already asked Chen Shuyi to recognize her ancestor and return to the clan, and changed the Yuwen surname in the royal family genealogy to the Chen surname.
Therefore, the father-daughter relationship between Chen Shuyi and Yu Wenshu no longer exists. If Yu Wenshu wants to kneel down, no one will stop him.
"Your Majesty, Yu Wenshu, pays homage to the Crown Prince Liang Di." Yu Wenshu, together with a group of his family members, knelt down at the gate toward the alley.
Yu Wenshu's wife, Dugu, stepped forward to greet the driver. She was a first-class waifu, one level lower than the prince's wife.
The Dugu family did come from the Dugu family in Luoyang, but they were far away from the Dugu Jialuo family, and Yuwenshu's wife was also a close friend of Empress Xiao.
Chen Shuyi would never fail to give her face, even if the other party often treated her harshly when she was a child, and she was basically regarded as the following person.
"Please Liangdi alight from the car,"
Dugu raised her arm, let Chen Shuyi hold it, and stepped out of the carriage.
"Jiangchao" means to get off the chariot. Only when the emperor gets off the chariot is it called "jiangchao".
