And now, Gao Gong and Yang Su have both died of illness, leaving only one Su Wei alive until now, but he was also deposed by Yang Guang a few years ago. Now, with great difficulty, the six books have been finalized and they have been brought into the newly established cabinet. Seeing that Liaodong was also pacified, the four seas surrendered, and the rebellions in various parts of the Central Plains were also reduced in scale.

These signs of improvement made Empress Xiao and Princess Luo Qi, who had always been worried about Yang Guang, feel a lot more at ease, but where did she think that not long after the appointment of several ministers in the cabinet, Yang Guang actually started to change blood again, wouldn't this become a child's play?

"Your Majesty, the phase is the most important position among the officials of the dynasty, and it must not be dismissed lightly. Although the current six prime ministers have been prime ministers for many years, they are all a little old. But they have a wealth of experience in government affairs, and His Majesty needs their experience to deal with government affairs. The concubine felt that His Majesty could slowly find new young officials and replace them when the time came! Empress Xiao suggested.

"Yes! Father Emperor, Yu Shiji has been the internal history of the order for many years, and now he is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, which is the best choice. Fan Gai has followed His Majesty's side for many years, and he is a rare minister of the humerus. Wei Xuan served as the secretary of the criminal department for a short time, but he handled it fairly, and was not afraid of the powerful, when Wang Shichong stayed in Jiangdu, he repeatedly defeated the peasant rebel army and made great achievements. Yang Luoqi stood aside, helping Yang Guang analyze the six ministers today.

In Yang Luoqi's view, there are seven phases in the court, and if all the appointments are completed, the seven phases will work together to help his father and emperor take charge of the government, which is undoubtedly a good thing, which can liberate the emperor from the busy affairs of the court. Today, although the post of Shangshuling is still vacant, the six Shangshu have all entered the cabinet, which is barely acceptable.

Now that it is not easy to stabilize the government, it is really not a good choice if the country is selected again. This will inevitably increase the pressure on the emperor's work and also reduce the decision-making ability of the imperial court.

After Yang Guang heard this, he shook his head and said, "I don't plan to dismiss any of Fan Gai, Wei Xuan, Yu Shiji, Wang Shichong and others. ”

"Then Your Majesty wants to remove Pei Ju or Pei Yun?" Empress Xiao asked in surprise.

"Yes, the Pei clan has actually occupied two seats in the Xiangguo with the strength of one clan, and there are many criticisms from officials in the DPRK and China. Before, I wanted to use the power of the Shandong Shi clan represented by the Pei clan to suppress the Guanlongmen valve. But now the power of the Guanlongmen valve has declined, but the Pei family's power is expanding rapidly. Not only did it affect the overall situation in the DPRK and China, but it even spread to the army. This makes me have to guard against it! Yang Guang said worriedly.

Empress Xiao and Yang Luoqi glanced at each other, they were silent, they naturally knew that the Pei family was indeed a little more powerful now, and some Pei brothers even thought that the Pei family was the number one family in the world. At the central and local levels, the Pei clan's power has expanded rapidly, and even the Yu clan, the number one valve in the Guanlongmen valve, cannot fight against it, so it is time to suppress them.

"However, now I am going to go north to the Turks, and I have to deal with Yuming's Liaodong Army, so I still have to use the people of the Pei family, and I won't move them for the time being. When the dust settles on these two things, I will take action to rectify the dynasty! Yang Guangzheng said.

"What? To deal with Yuming? Empress Xiao and Princess Izumo exclaimed in surprise almost at the same time, and both of them were extremely shocked.

"Yes!" Yang Guang nodded and said: "Yuming hoarded nearly 10 million stone grains in Liaodong, built countless armor equipment, and also sent troops to destroy Jihe Silla without authorization, sweeping away his worries. And this damn rebellion is still recruiting troops in Liaodong, with more than 100,000 soldiers, and has become a problem for my Great Sui. Moreover, he also changed the tax rate of the imperial court, formulated new policies, recruited displaced people to reclaim the famine, established a new armor protection system, and controlled the various tribes of Liaodong that he conquered......"

"One thing after another, almost every one of them is a big rebellion, and he also connived at his subordinates to set up Chen Ling, who was sent by me to stay in Liaodong, and make him look like a puppet. Now Yuming is almost openly pulling the flag and rebelling. You say, if I don't strike first, do I have to wait until he rebels to deal with him? Yang Guang slammed his fist on the table at this time, shaking the teacup on the table "bang, bang", which shows the resentment in his heart.

"Father, is there any misunderstanding in this? General Yu fought for our Great Sui on the frontier, destroyed Goryeo, conquered the grassland, pacified Liaodong, and allied the Eastern Turks. For the Great Sui Dynasty, he conquered the counties of Liaodong and seized a large area of land. has made great contributions, which shows that he is loyal to the Great Sui, how can such a good general do something rebellious? Yang Luoqi looked incredulous.

After a pause, she said again: "Besides, if he really wants to rebel, how can he rush from Liaodong to the Eastern Capital with only a few personal soldiers this time?" was called to supervise the construction of Jinyang Palace, and he also said that he would go. What kind of rebellion does this look like? Father, please think about it! Maybe someone is trying to drive a wedge between you and him. ”

"Forget it, this is a major matter of the imperial court, Luo Qi, you should not worry too much, I have my own measure." Yang Guang shook his head, the matter involved his own great cause, how could Yang Guang stop because of his daughter's persuasion.

Empress Xiao looked at Princess Luo Qi, thought about it carefully, and Fang sighed lightly: "Your Majesty, if you want to deal with Yu Ming, you must do it secretly, after all, he is the son of Yu Huaji, the head of the Yu Valve family." Will it force the universe to rebel because of this incident? Your Majesty will have to weigh it carefully! ”

After Yang Guang listened to the words of his wife and daughter, he also felt that it was a little inappropriate to act in such a hurry.

He tapped the table, got up and said, "Okay, I'll give Yuming another chance." After Li Yuan brought Yuming into the palace, I would not remove him from his position. As long as he is willing to cooperate with me, assist the imperial court to send troops into Liaodong to take over all the affairs of Liaodong Prefecture, and transfer the current 100,000 Liaodong troops back to the Central Plains for reorganization, so as to prevent future troubles, then I can ensure that he is rich and prosperous for the rest of his life. ”

Not to kill Yuming for the time being was decided by Yang Guang a long time ago in his heart, and saying it at this time was just to comfort Yang Luoqi. For Yang Guang, a living Yuming now is more beneficial than a dead Yuming. Keeping Yuming can not only appease the Liaodong Army, but he also wants Yuming to give him advice during the Northern Expedition to the Eastern Turks.

"Father, really?" Yang Luoqi looked up into Yang Guang's eyes.

"I have a golden mouth, how can the words I say not count, don't worry, as long as Yuming is smart enough and honestly cooperates with me, I will definitely not kill him. It's not too early, so you should go back to the palace and sleep early. Yang Guang nodded.

Although Yang Luoqi was a little worried, she could only do so, she didn't have much of a good impression of Yuming at first. But as Yu Ming's exploits became more and more brilliant, and her achievements became more and more prominent, she couldn't stop examining the reflection of Yu Ming.

Moreover, her cousin Li Xiuning also praised Yu Ming, calling him a strange man. It is the pillar of the future country of the Great Sui. This is also subtly changing her mind.

But she never expected that just when she began to have a good impression of Yuming, there was a sudden incident that Yuming was going to rebel. This made her heart very shocked and confused.

She really didn't believe it was true, but her father said it with a nose and eyes, which made her half-convinced.

"Alas, Yuming, what kind of person are you?" Yang Luoqi walked towards his dormitory, muttering as he walked.

……

At the end of July of the 11th year of the Great Cause, the construction site of Jinyang Palace was built.

Yu Ming, Fang Xuanzao, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and others are inspecting the construction site together.

Now that Wu'an County has been completely settled, the Yue family's influence in the county has been basically cleared, and the imperial court has also transferred officials from neighboring counties such as Yuan, Loufu, and Yanmen to temporarily take charge of the production and self-help work of Wu'an County.

And Yuming naturally will not let go of the opportunity to recruit migrant workers. After consulting with Li Yuan, he made very generous conditions for the victims: that is, all the people who were willing to participate in the construction of Jinyang Palace would be given a full meal. Of course, the people who participated in the construction also had to complete the prescribed work tasks every day in order to enjoy free and sufficient meals.

At the same time, Yuming also promised that when the Jinyang Palace was completed, each migrant worker would be given a copper coin as a salary. This has greatly increased the accumulation of the people, and they look forward to the early completion of the project.

Those who were unable to do the heavy work of building palaces were mainly elderly, weak, women and children. Li Yuan didn't want to settle these people, because these people didn't have much effect on building the palace, but they had to eat a lot of food, which would increase the cost of construction.

But Yuming doesn't see it that way, he thinks that after settling the families of these migrant workers, they can let the migrant workers have no worries and participate in the construction work with confidence, so that they know that they are not only building palaces for the court and the emperor, but also working for their families to be fed.

Therefore, at Yu Ming's insistence, Li Yuan finally agreed to Yu Ming's suggestion: all the people who work on the construction site can be allowed to bring two family members to eat on the construction site. But the two family members also had to help the workers and overseers on the site with laundry, cooking, bookkeeping, and doing what they could. It's a compromise that several parties agree to.

Just when Yuming, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were discussing how to further stimulate the people's accumulation, let them speed up, and strive to complete the project within the specified time, a young man with a pale face and a somewhat gloomy look hurriedly arrived in front of Li Jiancheng and whispered to him for a while.

After Li Jiancheng heard this, his complexion suddenly changed greatly.

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but ask curiously: "Big brother, brother, what happened?" ”
