Early the next morning, Yang Yuanqing's carriage slowly stopped at the gate of Ziwei Pavilion. A soldier quickly opened the door. Yang Yuanqing walked out, then turned around and took his son Yang Ning out of the car, holding his hand.
Walking towards the gate, Yang Ning's heart was pounding. He had never been to Ziwei Pavilion, and he didn't know what it was like to be in politics.
The reason why Yang Yuanqing decided to bring his eldest son to Ziwei Pavilion was not to let him learn something, but to open his eyes. He found that the eldest son was just in a state of semi-understanding, so that he could see what he could do in politics.
The realm will rise, so that he will not make the childish mistake of burying the jade seal again.
At the gate of Ziwei Pavilion, the seven prime ministers had been waiting for a long time. They were welcoming Yang Yuanqing back to the court. When Yang Yuanqing got off the carriage, the seven prime ministers came to greet him together. Su Wei walked in the front and held his hands with a smile.
Said: "We are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and we are looking forward to the return of His Highness. If His Highness does not return, the government will not be able to operate."
What he said was true. There were piles of memorials and documents that needed Yang Yuanqing's approval. Although Yang Yuanqing delegated a lot of power, there were still hundreds of memorials that required his signature.
Yang Yuanqing also smiled apologetically and said: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone. I will handle it within two days."
He greeted everyone one by one. When everyone saw Yang Ning, they were stunned. Why did His Highness bring the crown prince? Yang Yuanqing clasped his fists and said sincerely to everyone: "From today on, I plan to let Quan Zi stay in Ziwei Pavilion every day."
I will study for one hour for one year. All the prime ministers are talented people. I hope you can help me and teach the dog a thing or two every day."
After Yang Yuanqing finished speaking, Yang Ning immediately knelt down and kowtowed to everyone, "Young man Yang Ning, please give me your advice."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that Yang Yuanqing actually brought his eldest son to study politics and let them teach it. Everyone was overjoyed. This is a great thing! Yang Ning is actually the future prince and crown prince. Letting them teach government affairs is not only good for their own
There are benefits to personal interests. More importantly, they can instill their own strategies for governing the country into the prince, so that the Sui Dynasty can move towards a prosperous age in the future.
Su Wei hurriedly stepped forward to help Yang Ning up. He smiled at everyone and said, "Let me make a suggestion! We Qixiang take turns teaching the Crown Prince every day for eight days. On the eighth day, the Crown Prince will report his learning experience to His Highness. What do your colleagues think?
?”
Everyone agreed, but a trace of worry flashed in Du Ruhui's eyes. He did not think it was a good idea for Yang Yuanqing to let the prince come to Ziwei Pavilion to study politics, but since Yang Yuanqing had already decided, he could not speak out against it.
Yang Yuanqing smiled again and said: "Then I'll trouble you, Prime Minister. There's no need to teach him anything. Let him read the memorial. If you don't understand, ask again, and then listen to the proceedings and try not to affect your normal affairs."
Everyone agreed happily. Su Wei took Yang Ning's hand and said with a smile: "Then it will be me on the first day. I will take the prince with me."
Yang Yuanqing nodded and gave some instructions to his son before everyone walked into Ziwei Pavilion. Yang Yuanqing had not returned to his official room for nearly two months since he sent troops to Mayi County at the end of October, but his room was still clean and tidy.
It was warm and bright, but the cabinet next to his seat was filled with various memorials waiting for approval, hundreds of them.
Although Yang Yuanqing promised that the prime ministers would complete the approval within three days, so many memorials and memorials still gave him a headache. This was not because he was neglectful of government affairs, but because he had to consider and plan the overall situation of the world and did not have much energy to review the memorials.
, it seems that he must temporarily delegate power.
At this time, Pei Qingsong walked in, took off his outer clothes for him, and reported: "I have compiled a catalog of memorials and classified them into categories. Your Highness can read the catalog first."
Yang Yuanqing nodded, sat down, picked up the memorial on the table and looked at it. He glanced at Pei Qingsong and smiled lightly: "Have you had any contact with Xiao Jing recently? I mean personal contact."
"Replying to His Highness, I have written several letters."
"Oh! Then did he mention his dignity as a prefect?"
Yang Yuanqing smiled and asked: "Did he talk about his feelings as a parent official?"
"I mentioned all of them. He was very emotional, saying that being in the court was like being in mid-air. He didn't understand the sufferings of the people. Only when you really go deep into the people can you realize it. In a few months, he felt that he had learned a lot and gained a lot.
"After going to Dunhuang County, Xiao Jing went to Liang County. Next, I plan to send Zhang Liang to Qiao County. He has been applying to me for a long time."
Yang Yuanqing sighed, "I have been busy with military affairs and have not been able to take care of you. Now I should care about you."
Pei Qingsong has long been tempted. He also wants to be a local official and take charge of the people. This has always been his dream, but he has never dared to bring it up. Today, Yang Yuanqing rarely mentioned it, so he thought it was an opportunity. Pei Qingsong
Biting his lip, he bowed and said: "Your Highness, even though I am humbled by my position, I also want to go to the local counties to hone my abilities. I beg you, Your Highness, to do it?"
Yang Yuanqing narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "You have to think clearly. With your qualifications, I'm afraid you won't be able to be a prefect. We can't give you special treatment just because you join the army from the record office."
"I don't care about my humble position, I would like to be the county magistrate!"
"How can that be done? My reporter joined the army and became a county magistrate. If word spread, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said slowly: "That's it! You go to Nanyang County to be the governor, work hard for a few years, and make achievements, and then I will promote you to the prefect."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your support!"
Pei Qingsong was filled with gratitude. He was a young man. He stayed in his room every day, and his heart grew cocooned. He longed to go out, become a parent official, and benefit the people. This was his lofty ambition when he was studying.
Pei Qingsong's heart was about to explode with joy. He bowed and retreated, walking to the door, but he happened to meet Du Ruhui. Seeing his face full of joy, Du Ruhui couldn't help but asked strangely: "What happened, you are so happy?"
"Unknown to Prime Minister Du, His Highness finally agreed to release me as the governor of Nanyang County. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Du Ruhui was startled, then suddenly understood, and there was a bitterness in his heart, "You...really want to go somewhere?"
Pei Qingsong nodded, "This is my wish!"
Du Ruhui sighed inwardly and could only pat him on the shoulder, "No matter what, since there is a transfer, you must inform the head of the family."
When Du Ruhui mentioned the head of the family, Pei Qingsong was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt something was wrong. The head of the family might not be happy with this news, and his joyful mood suddenly became heavy again.
Du Ruhui knocked on the door, "Your Highness, it's me!"
"See you soon!"
Du Ruhui walked in and saw Yang Yuanqing reviewing the first memorial. He quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."
Yang Yuanqing put down his pen and asked, "What's wrong with Du Xiangguo?"
"I want to talk about the prince's affairs."
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Do you think it's inappropriate for me to bring my son to study politics?"
"Your Highness's idea is good. This will allow the Crown Prince to see government affairs, but I feel that one year is a little too long."
Yang Yuanqing heard what he meant and said, "Just tell me! What's wrong?"
Du Ruhui sighed and said: "I just feel that each prime minister's strategy of governing the country is different. For example, some prime ministers prefer the children of famous families, while others feel that the selection should be fair and prefer the children of poor families. They will
They instilled their own ideas into the prince, but they had different ideas, and since the prince was young, I was worried that he might not be able to accept it."
Du Ruhui said it very implicitly. He was actually reminding Yang Yuanqing to be careful that the prime ministers had their own selfish motives and misled the prince.
Du Ruhui's words reminded Yang Yuanqing that he did not expect this. He just wanted his son to read the memorial and ask the prime ministers if he didn't understand. This would not affect the official affairs of the prime minister. However, he did not realize that the prime ministers would
Deliberately instilling your own ideas into the prince is troublesome.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Du Ruhui had a suspicion in his mind and said quickly: "Bizhi feels that if the time is shorter, the impact will not be big. After all, the prince is just here to gain experience, not really to learn how to deal with government affairs. I suggest three months."
Yang Yuanqing thought for a moment and finally nodded, "I'll just follow your advice and it will be limited to three months."
At this time, Du Ruhui hesitated and asked: "Has His Highness really decided to let Pei join the army and serve as a local official?" Both Zhang Liang and Xiao Jing have gone to the place. I also plan to let him go to Qiao County. Why can't Pei Qingsong? Let him
It will be more beneficial for him to go somewhere to practice."
"Then has His Highness considered who should take over Pei Qingsong's position in the army?"
"I plan to transfer Chu Suiliang to serve as a reporter and join the army. He has done a great job in relieving the hungry people in Qingzhou this time and is very capable, so I decided to transfer him to serve in the imperial court. Wei Lun will take over Zhang Liang's vacancy."
Although Du Ruhui understood Yang Yuanqing's real intention of transferring Pei Qingsong, he couldn't say anything. He could only say that Pei Ju was careless and did something he shouldn't have done, which aroused Yang Yuanqing's vigilance. This was a warning!
"I have nothing to do with my post. I will not disturb Your Highness. I will take my leave."
Just as Du Ruhui was about to leave, Yang Yuanqing remembered something and pulled out several large stacks of memorials from the nearby scaffolding. There were more than 300 copies, accounting for more than 80% of the entire memorials and memorials. Yang Yuanqing smiled and said: "You take these memorials for discussion.
Let’s decide together!”
Du Ruhui was a little stunned. This was Yang Yuanqing delegating power!
"Your Highness, this..." Du Ruhui was a little at a loss.
"nothing."
Yang Yuanqing smiled and pushed the memorials to Du Ruhui, "The main reason is that there are too many memorials. I can't handle them alone. I'm afraid of missing something important. Let's help me deal with it together!"
Yang Yuanqing didn't make any statement. At this time, Du Ruhui vaguely understood that there were some things that he really couldn't say. I'm afraid he would follow this example until he wiped out the world.
