Before the end of the year, Chen Shuyi received two million yuan from Huaji, and all of it was deposited into the inner treasury of the East Palace.
She had nothing to spend money on and was not interested in money, so she left it all to Yang Yinjiang.
Chen Shuyi collected the money very happily this time, and she didn't want it in vain. She now hopes to repair the relationship with the Yuwen family and instigate Yuwenshu to leave Yang Jian. However, Chen Shuyi has been secretly collecting evidence of Yang Jian's crimes for so many years. She
I thought about waiting until the day when Yang Ming came to power and killing Yang Jian in one fell swoop.
In fact, to kill a prince of Yang Xian's level, no amount of evidence would be useful. The key lies in Yang Ming, and Chen Shuyi believes that Yang Ming will not let Yang Xian go.
Near the end of the year, bad news came from Hedong. Xiao Mohe suddenly passed away. He was fine that day and had a good dinner, but he didn't wake up the next day.
Xiao Mohe's death was a huge blow to Chen Shuyi.
She wanted to go to Hedong in person to express her condolences to her master.
After Yuwenshu learned of the situation, he hoped that his third son Yuwenshiji would personally escort Chen Shuyi on the road.
Yang Ming refused, but Chen Shuyi agreed, along with Xiao Shilian. Yang Ming directly appointed Xiao Shilian to take over Xiao Mohe's position. Of course, this would have to wait until the mourning period passed.
"Shuyi, there is no need to be sad. My grandfather passed away at the age of eighty-three. This is a happy mourning. It is God's blessing that he can live to this age," Xiao Shilian comforted Chen Shuyi on the carriage.
The relationship between the two of them is very close. Although there is a difference in hierarchy, in Xiao Shilian's eyes, Chen Shuyi is his sister.
After following Li Jing's expedition to Goguryeo, Xiao Shilian had already returned to Hedong, but was summoned by Yang Ming to take charge of the security of the Qin Palace. Now, he had to escort his father's coffin back to his hometown in Lanling for burial.
Chen Shuyi still kept crying, because in her heart, Xiao Mohe was a relative.
Xiao Shilian sighed and stopped persuading him. He turned back and glanced in the direction of the capital, thinking that he would return to the capital no matter what year or month.
East Palace,
Yang Ming sighed: "There are so many people leaving this year. At the beginning of the year, it was Dugu Gong, the Minister of Civil Affairs Gao Xiaoji, then Guo Yan, Liang Bi, Changsun Chi, Xiao Mohe, and now Han Sengshou looks like he is dying."
Well, King Guan has been recuperating recently. A message came from Jiangdu that Niu Hong also fell ill. Alas..."
Yang Yinjiang said at the side: "Perhaps the expedition to Goguryeo was a waste of luck."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Do you still believe this? Birth, old age, illness and death are all done at the right time. How can there be any luck?"
"When the time comes?" Yang Yinjiang murmured for a long time: "These four words are good. They clearly explain the destiny of a person in this life. Sooner or later, we will have such a day. In the next life, do you still want me?
ah?"
"Is there a next life?" Yang Ming asked.
Yang Yinjiang nodded: "Yes, there is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: All living beings in the three realms reincarnate in the six realms, like a wheel of fire. It can be seen that they will not be able to survive in this life, but they can continue in the next life."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "If there is an afterlife, it would be best for the two of us to go to a strange and bizarre world with gods and immortals. People can live for thousands of years, so that we don't have to meet each other again and again."
"Then we have made an appointment," Yang Yinjiang put her palm on Yang Ming's chest: "We will see you there or not."
On November 18th, Han Sengshou, the Duke of Jiangdu, passed away, and his eldest son Han Xiaoji failed to succeed him.
On November 25th, Niu Hong passed away in Jiangdu. His eldest son, Niu Fangda, was granted the title of Nei Shishe and became the Duke of Qizhang.
Niu Hong's illness came very quickly this time, and Yang Guang did not expect that he would not be able to do it even if he said it was not possible.
Less than a month after he returned home after reporting illness, he and his subjects parted ways forever.
Yang Guang was in a bad mood. He didn't like Niu Hong very much, but he was really indispensable in the court. When Niu Hong died, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Taichang Temple became vacant at the same time.
One is the head of the Six Ministries and the other is the head of the Eleven Temples. Who will take over?
The most suitable person was Yuwen Shuhe to protect his son, but Li Yuan refused to let him go this time. He stayed with Yang Guang every day, not mentioning a word about being promoted, and kept talking about how much Dugu Jialuo treated him back then.
good.
Do you think I don't care whether my mother treats you well or not? Yang Guang actually still intends to promote Li Yuan, but this time he is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and you can't do it. You can't even see the shadow of Niu Hong.
Yang Guang was also annoyed and said directly to Li Yuan: "Taichang Temple, you can take care of both for now."
Li Yuan would definitely not be happy, but he could also see that the emperor's face was not kind. If he showed any dissatisfaction, Taichang Temple would have no share in him either.
"I thank you, Your Majesty," Li Yuan said as he knelt down with his butt sticking out.
There is a fundamental difference between the Three Provinces and Six Ministries and the Eleven Temples. The former is an agency that oversees government affairs and supervision, while the latter is an agency that implements specific affairs. To put it bluntly, the Three Provinces and Six Ministries are somewhat like a superior unit to the Eleven Temples.
Yang Guang looked at Li Yuan now, and he felt a little displeased. He was not a good person, even though he was a cousin, but he was a little disdainful of Li Yuan's character, so he said:
"Just give Jing Zhaoyin to Yu Wenshu. You don't have to go back to Beijing. Just follow me."
Ah? One for one? I still want to do both. What else can Li Yuan say? He can only admit it.
He originally thought, Taichang Temple should be Taichang Temple. Doesn't Ushi Hong have a disciple named Nayan? Give me one too. In this way, I can be regarded as the prime minister.
But can Yang Guang give it? Give him a head.
Right now, there are only three of you, Yang Xiong, Su Wei and Pei Ju, who can you compare with?
As for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, it was the most important position. Yang Guang thought about it and chose it for Yu Shiji. This man's talent was worthy of recognition, but his character was not very good.
When employing people, don't care about character. He is now Yang Guang's top three horse boy, and that is enough.
Niu Hong has a mansion in Jiangdu. Officials of his level are allocated residences by the state. Pei Ju and Su Wei left Niu's mansion and walked hand in hand, followed by their entourage.
"Qiu He is back?" Su Wei asked.
The reason why he asked this was because Pei Xuanji was right next to Pei Ju, and Pei Xuanji ran back with Qiu He.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Pei Ju did not speak, but Pei Xuanji said: "I came back together with Duke Pingcheng, and I just entered the palace to see His Majesty at noon."
Su Wei asked again: "What is the relationship between the rebel Cen Mingxiu and the Ning family?"
Pei Xuanji replied: "The involvement is quite deep. Although after the rebellion, this person threatened that the Ning family was a traitor to Lingnan, leading wolves into the house, and kept saying that he wanted to attack Qinjiang Mansion, but I have investigated and found that the Cen family has always been dependent on the Ning family.
, the Ning family has nothing to do with this rebellion."
Su Wei nodded, glanced at Pei Ju, and said:
"Li Ren (Ushi Hong) has passed away. From now on in the court, Shiju and I should take good care of each other."
Pei Ju smiled and nodded: "You are Zuopushe, I listen to you."
"Hey, I'm old," Su Wei shook his head and sighed: "I'm three years older than Liren, and I'm seventy-one this year. Now I'm living day by day, and I don't know when one day I won't be able to lift my legs."
Pei Ju is six years younger than Su Wei, so he is not too young, but he can't stand the fact that both of them live a long life.
Historically, Su Wei lived eighty-two and Pei Ju lived eighty.
At their level, it's okay if you can't walk. They will carry you into the palace to discuss matters, as long as your mind is still spinning.
People become more sophisticated as they get older and experience more things. When encountering any problem, the way they handle it is definitely much safer than that of young people.
This is why, the older the official, the older he is, because only at that age can you have the ability to firmly hold that position.
After parting ways, Pei Xuanji whispered:
"Father, there is news from the capital that Feng Deyi has been expelled from the East Palace. It can be seen that the prince can no longer tolerate Yang Xuangan's arrogance."
Pei Ju smiled and said, "You can't think like that. No one can shake Xuangan right now. His grandson is the prince's direct eldest son. Based on this alone, as long as he is not treason, no one can touch him."
"If you can't use Xuangan, my sister will never get ahead in the East Palace," Pei Xuanji said.
Pei Ju smiled and said, "Don't think about this now. Let's wait until Yang Yue dies."
"Old thief Yang Yue has done all kinds of evil, but he has a long life. He is in good health now. I don't know how long it will take for him to die," Pei Xuanji said:
"Our Jin'er seems to me to be better than that Yang Rui, but in the end she can only study at Wang Tong's place, alas..."
Pei Ju said calmly: "Wang Tong's plan is in line with the future situation of the country. It was also me who asked Jin'er to worship Wang Tong as his teacher. Your Majesty and the prince are both like the Emperor Wu. After the establishment of martial arts, literature must be promoted. The prince once again
The purpose of restructuring the scientific examination is to pave the way for the future. Wang Tong's proposal is the most timely. Don't be anxious. The prince hasn't even gone up yet. No matter how much you think about it now, it will be useless."
Pei Xuanji nodded: "Now in the East Palace, Xuangan and the others have been weakened. Should we think of some way to arrange for some of our own people to go in?"
Pei Ju suddenly frowned and snorted: "Do you think the prince is easy to get along with? Anyone can move now, but we can't move, lest Xuangan and the others vent their anger on us. Don't bring trouble to your sister, she maintains
So far, it’s not easy.”
Pei Xuanji, who was scolded, nodded: "Son, I don't dare to talk nonsense anymore."
Qiu He was still relying on Yang Guang at the moment. He wanted to replace Mai Tiezhang and attack Lingnan. After all, he came back in despair. In name, he lost the city and the land. He was embarrassed and wanted to atone for his sins.
Yang Guang is not an unreasonable person. He knows it is not your fault, but it is impossible to replace the iron rod.
Do you think my words are farts? The marching director has already made the decision, and now you want me to change it? Who do you think you are?
"Mai Tiezhang and Xin Shixiong are worried about Feng An's change. Let's do this. You can lead a group of troops to Guiyang County and keep an eye on Feng An," Yang Guang said.
Qiu He nodded: "May I ask Your Majesty, how many troops and horses do you command?"
"You go to Jingzhou and recruit from the military government. You can borrow grain, grass and military supplies from the local prefect," Yang Guang said calmly.
Qiu He was dumbfounded, "Good guy, who is willing to lend me food these days?"
If you don't want me to go, just say so and ask me to be a beggar?
