Chapter VII: The Great Dynasty Meeting
"Okay, I'll call you Brother Yang, you call me Mingyue, it's weird to call Miss." Not to mention, this prince is handsome, and talented, both civil and military, it is rare that he still has such a sense of justice, and he does not have a little prince's shelf, which makes people feel so approachable.
I just don't know if he will take what his younger brother just said to heart, he doesn't seem to have heard the news of the prince's wedding in the capital all these years, he just doesn't know...... Ah, what am I thinking, shame on you. Thinking about it, Yin Mingyue felt that her face was hot, but fortunately there was a veil to cover it, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
"Sister, sister, what are you thinking, come back to your senses." Yin Hongzhi, the little kid, found that Yin Mingyue was distracted, and hurriedly shouted, mainly because there was a certain pervert next to him staring at his sister in a daze, and he hated it to death.
"Ahh Ash, hurry up and thank Brother Yang. In order to hide her embarrassment, Yin Mingyue hurriedly asked Yin Hongzhi to thank Yang Yun.
"No, he stared at his sister in a daze just now, and he must not be a good person, hum." Yin Hongzhi crossed his waist with his left hand, pointed at Yang Yun with his right hand and pretended to be angry
As soon as Yin Hongzhi said this, Yang Yun immediately had a black line on his face. Damn, my brother's reputation was ruined by you little boy like this, and it was still in front of beautiful women.
Yin Mingyue was no better, and he felt that his face became hotter, as if he was being burned by fire. How can Ash be like this, but is what he said true, does Brother Yang really look at me with infatuation? Yin Mingyue was shy in her heart and had a little expectation.
"Ahem, oh yes, Mingyue. This Chinese New Year, are you on the street to play? Yang Jun was embarrassed to death when he saw the scene, so he had to speak out to break the situation. Hmph, little brat, I won't bother with you yet, and I'll teach you a lesson when I have a chance.
"No, my father's Yin Shishishi, today I specially rushed back to the capital from Zhangye to participate in tomorrow's court meeting, and the younger brother learned that my father was coming back, so he made a fuss about picking up my father at the city gate, who knew that these things would happen." Yin Mingyue replied
Even one of the town guards has rushed back to participate in the court meeting, and it seems that tomorrow's court will be promising.
"I see, then I just happen to be fine, so I will accompany Mingyue to wait for the hussar general here, so as not to make trouble for some young people." Yang Jun was very shameless and said cheekily. Apart from you, who else dares to make trouble, doesn't he just want to take the opportunity to communicate with beautiful women.
The world master is rarely modest, loyal, and martial. Weak crown, with meritorious sons worshipping Yitong, tired of hussar generals. Emperor Yang's heir, leading the East Capital Tile Supervisor. After the age of three, he worshiped Zhang Ye Taishou. —Book of Sui
How could Yin Mingyue, who was exquisite, not know what Yang Jun was thinking, but it would be good to stay with Brother Yang for a while, as for Yin Hongzhi's protest, I will wronged you for the sake of my sister's possible happiness in the future.
On the third day of the first year, the palace of the king of Qi
Yang Jun just got up, was freshening up, preparing to go to the court meeting, put on the prince's robe, well, it seems to be compared with Pan An and Song Yu, a certain man is narcissistic in his heart. I haven't appeared in the court for so long, it's time to make an appearance, don't let people forget my existence, after all, it will be impossible to keep a low profile in the future. No matter how low-key it is, he won't even be able to save his life at that time, in history, Yang Yong has not had a chance to raise his head because he fell out of favor, so he was cleaned up by Yu Wenhua and Yang Guang.
The court meeting is generally in the middle of the day, about equivalent to seven o'clock in the later generations, the capital is so big, the officials who live a little farther must get up earlier, some may have to get up in the middle of the night to prepare, but the ancients did not have any entertainment at night, go to bed early, get up early has no effect.
When Yang Xuan's carriage arrived at the Suzaku Gate, he saw many ministers' carriages parked at the gate of the palace, and the ministers all got off and walked towards the Taiji Palace. However, Yang Jin's carriage did not stop, and drove directly towards Fengtianmen, and the ministers who walked saw that Yang Jin's car did not stop, and they were all guessing who this person was, and they didn't know which upstart it was.
Under normal circumstances, officials below the third rank and below, including the third rank, have to get off the carriage when they arrive at the Suzaku Gate, and only the first and second rank officials and princes can enjoy driving the carriage directly to the Mukden Gate, which is a kind of grace. The distance from Suzaku Gate to Fengtian Gate is five or six hundred meters away, and there is still a distance of about three hundred meters from Fengtian Gate to Taiji Palace. This design is for the safety of the palace, because once a rebel army attacks the palace, these hundreds of meters will be difficult to cross, but it will cause inconvenience to the ministers.
Yang Jun doesn't know what others guess, and he doesn't show up, he has long been out of favor for a few years, and the close ministers can be said to be gone, a few years is enough time for the court to change blood, and he fell out of favor back then, and the people in his own department have long been suppressed, so don't expect any minister to want to show favor to himself.
When Yang Jian walked into the Taiji Palace, he saw that there were many ministers talking to each other. Seeing Yang Jun wearing a prince's robe and coming to the court, everyone's eyes flashed with doubts, some ministers who have only been Beijing officials in recent years have never even heard of a prince, let alone seen the prince go to court. Only a few old ministers knew about this prince, but they didn't come forward to say hello, after all, they didn't know if Yang Jian could be reused, otherwise he would be classified as a prince's party, and he would have to bear it.
Yang Jun directly stood in the forefront of civil officials, because the prince should be regarded as a civil official according to his rank, although Yang Jun used to hold some military positions. Just like the Yin Shishi, although he was named a hussar general, his actual position was that of a county, and he still belonged to the ranks of civil officials.
Seeing that the Yin Shishi Master was standing there alone, Yang Yun stepped forward to say hello, but he had met yesterday and chatted a few words. Yin Shishi has always been an official, and he has no acquaintances in the court, so he didn't follow a group of people to join in the fun.
After chatting for a while, all the officials came in one after another, and they didn't pay much attention to these two faces.
"The hundred officials are quiet, the emperor has arrived, and the emperor is welcome." A duck-like voice came
All the officials quickly got into their positions, and only then did Yang Guangcai come out from behind the curtain.
"Greetings to the Holy One, long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the officials bowed down and shouted at the same time, except for Yang Yong, of course, who only bowed slightly. After all, the prince is a clan relative, so there is no need to pay too much attention to etiquette, and if an old prince participates in the court meeting, the emperor will also give him a seat.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Yang Guang spoke
Although Yang Guang usually ignores the government and lasciviousness, he does not dare to cancel the annual court meeting, which is equivalent to a kind of customization, and if Yang Guang wants to conquer Goryeo again, he must say it at the court meeting, otherwise he will not be able to deploy personnel.
Today's court meeting is the first court meeting of the new year, and according to the usual practice, the first thing to do is to make a summary of the situation of each ministry and the whole country last year, that is, it is equivalent to the government work report of later generations, and of course it will be relatively long. Finally, after the statements of the various ministries were finished, many ministers' feet were a little sore, and some older ministers were squinting and drowsy, and it was none of their business anyway.
"Okay, now that you've finished speaking, I'll tell you something. I decided to recruit soldiers from all over the country immediately after the beginning of spring, and took Goryeo in one fell swoop with the strength of the whole country. Yang Guang's words were amazing, and the ministers were so shocked that their feet were not sore, and their eyes were not dazzled.
Yang Guang's words are not amazing, the year before last, the army conquered Goryeo, claiming to be one million, but only chatted about thousands of remnants of the army to flee back, which is really an unprecedented defeat for the Central Plains court. Shame, although all the ministers thought that it was Yang Guang's great joy that led to this defeat, but this was not only a shame for Yang Guang, but also a shame for the imperial court, and it also hit them in the faces. Although they didn't say it one by one, they also thought about the shame, just like Li Shimin and Li Zhi, although the Sui Dynasty was defeated by Goryeo three times, it was indeed the shame of the entire Central Plains, so they still had to save face. But now it is the situation of Shenma, the people of the whole country are not happy, the large and small uprisings are continuous, the gate valve is centrifugal and detached, the emperor still does not know how to reflect, he is still arrogant and lascivious, building a large number of buildings, working the people and losing money, and the situation of the court is getting worse.
"Your Majesty, don't, there are many natural disasters all over the country, and there are continuous uprisings in Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou, and Wang Bo has been called king in the land of Changbai Mountain; Floods in Jingzhou and Jianghuai are frequent. It is the time when the name is boring, you must not use the sword and soldiers, and please think twice. ”
Hearing that Yang Guang was going to conquer Goryeo again, Pei Ju, a veteran, couldn't help but come out to admonish. Seeing that Pei Ju, the big man, has stood up, and the ministers have also come out to follow suit, since someone has made a bird, someone will follow. Of course, there are still some ministers who are not listed, because they know Yang Guang's character very well, and there is no possibility of changing what he decides, except for the first two years of his ascension, of course.
"That's enough, just now you were still singing praises below, saying that the whole country is stable, and as soon as I say that I want to conquer Goryeo, you will say that there is a great drought, that flood, and that the people are rioting. Didn't I just want to teach that little Goryeo a lesson, and you made up one kind of reason to obstruct it, as if I would provoke the wrath of the heavens and people if I beat a Goryeo, what benefits did Goryeo secretly give you to make you so active in stopping me? ”
Yang Guang was very angry and angry, didn't he just want to teach little Goryeo a lesson and get some face back for the last failure, why don't you say these people are on the road, and they are still obstructing it vigorously, hum, I'm so angry!
"The emperor is angry, and the ministers don't mean that." A large group of ministers hurriedly bowed their heads and explained, if you don't bow your head, you can't do it, Yang Guang won't reason with you when he kills people.
"Hmph, okay, I can't talk about it anymore. It was proposed to recruit soldiers and horses from all counties across the country and assemble after the beginning of spring, the troops of Jiangnan and Lingnan were assembled in Luoyang, and the troops of the north were assembled in Zhuo County. After March, I came to Luoyang in person to drive the expedition. ”
"Yuwen Shu did not continue with the soldiers' rations, and then trapped the king's division; It is the crime that the military officials lost in the material, and it is not the crime of the statement, and it is advisable to restore the official title and seal Yuwen as the opening of the palace with the three divisions, and follow me to the expedition. ”
"Seal Laihu'er as the general of the right Yiwei, send troops to Canghaidao, and attack Goryeo by sea."
"Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was crowned as the pillar of the country, and accompanied the army to supervise the grain and grass in Liyang."
"The minister comes to protect the child, Yang Xuangan leads the order, thank you." Lai Hu'er, Yang Xuangan immediately came out to thank him, Yuwenshu is still at home now, if you want to say that the family with the most grace in the Sui Dynasty is none other than Yuwenshu's family.
"The king of the feudal dynasty, Yang Yu, is the emperor's grandson, Kong Yingda is the crown prince's young protector, and assists the emperor's grandson in supervising the country. Fengyin Shishi stayed in Daxing City for General Zuo Yiwei and was fully responsible for the safety of the capital. ”
"Minister Kong Yingda, Yin Shi Shi Ling, thank you. The ministers will never live up to the emperor's trust. Kong Yingda and Yin Shishi also hurried out to thank him.
To tell the truth, Yang Guang has his own unique features in military employment and opinions, except that he is sometimes stupid. It can be seen from the fact that the second expedition to Goryeo almost destroyed Goryeo, if it were not for Yang Xuangan's anti-Sui, maybe the second expedition to Goryeo would have been won, and it can be said that Emperor Yang of Sui's third expedition to Goryeo made the people of the whole country even more complaining, and Yang Xuangan should be fully responsible.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Xuangan opened the banner of the gate valve against the Sui, causing great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the people's livelihood withered, and the population plummeted, Yang Xuangan also had to bear a lot of responsibility, instead of blaming all the sins on Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in history, but he Yang Xuangan got the honorary title of an anti-Sui righteous man.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had a serious face, only Yang Hui smiled bitterly in his heart, I don't know if it was the influence of his little butterfly, Kong Yingda was also a rigid Confucian defender in history and did not have such a chance to get ahead, and the Yin Shishi did not stay in Daxing City so quickly, I remember that when Yang Guang went to Goryeo for the second time, the Yin Shishi followed.
It seems that history has changed a lot, although the general direction has not changed, but some parts have changed, I don't know if there is enough time left for me, it seems that I have to seize the time to develop my own strength.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Just as Yang Guang, one of the ministers, finished speaking, Yang Guang spoke again.
"I can be so confident in conquering Goryeo this time, in addition to my strong Sui soldiers and weak Goryeo, the King of Qi has also brought me confidence, I believe that his song "Man Jianghong" is no stranger to Aiqing." Yang Guang began to throw heavy bounces again
"King Qi? It turned out that the man in the prince's robe was the king of Qi. I have long heard that the King of Qi is both civil and military, but hasn't he fallen out of favor a long time ago, it seems that this time it will be reused, but since the King of Qi is to be reused, why does the emperor still want to make the emperor's grandson? Whatever, if you can make friends, you can make friends, now that the king of Qi is short of people, try not to add icing on the cake if you can send charcoal in the snow. "All the thoughtful bigwigs are speculating and calculating in their hearts.
"The king of Qi is both civil and military, especially good at shooting, although there are some bad behaviors, but they have been changed, and they are hereby restored to their positions as Yongzhou pastor, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and give him the post of Shangshu Zuo Servant, for me to share my worries." As soon as Yang Guang's words came out, everyone was blown up, what did the emperor want to do. Yongzhou Mu, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions are okay, but what is the position of Shangshu Zuo Servant? That is to manage the three departments of officials, rites, and soldiers, and also control the bullets, which is equivalent to controlling most of the imperial court. Not to mention that these bigwigs were shocked, even Yang Jun was taken aback, a position is too tempting, if he didn't know the history, maybe Yang Jun would really want to fight.
"The emperor can't, the position of the left servant of Shangshu is not trivial, there is no case of the prince in history, besides, the emperor first appointed the imperial grandson to supervise the country, and then appointed the king of Qi as the left servant, and then the court does not know who is the main one, and then the two kings fight or fear...... Please also ask the emperor to retract his order. Kong Yingda immediately jumped out to fight for the interests of the grandson, and he, the prince Shaobao, was really competent.
"The ministers also ask the emperor to take back the order." A group of ministers also came forward to echo it. It's one thing to take refuge in each other, but when it comes to your own interests, you have to be a different matter, who knows if you, the prince, will violate your own interests when you come to power, and whether there will be oil and water to be fished. Of course, there are not many officials from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry, after all, they don't have much to do with their interests, so they don't bother to be this villain.
"What? My will is no longer effective, is it? ”
"Please calm the emperor's anger." Seeing that Yang Guang was about to be angry, Yu Wenhua hurried out of the ranks, although he wanted to suppress these officials who claimed to be honest and honest and looked down on him by grace. If it is true, Yu Wenhua will still clap his hands and applaud, but who told them to target Yang Yong, and who asked you Yang Yong to bully our Yuwen family yesterday. Therefore, at this moment, Yu Wenhua and the interests of those officials are aligned.
"Your Majesty, the position of Shangshu's left servant is not incompetent for the position of an old and stable minister, although the King of Qi is talented and has a good reputation for poetry, but after all, there is rarely a time to serve in the imperial court, and the experience is still lacking, which is what the ministers are concerned about, not the emperor's will." Yu Wenhua means that the king of Qi is also composed of poems, written and written, as for the governance of the government, it is better to be exempted.
The status of the officials who can participate in the court meeting will not be low, and it is not a pig's head that can climb to this status, and there are a few extraneous meanings of Yu Wenhua that cannot be heard.
"That's what the ministers mean." If you can have Yu Wenhua and this to talk on the side, the effect will definitely be greater, and this truth is still known to these ministers, so they acquiesced to the meaning of Yu Wenhua.
"Then what should Yuwen Aiqing mean?" That is, Yang Guang favored Xinyu Culture, although he heard the meaning of his words, but he didn't think it was angry.
"Your Majesty, just now Master Pei said that Wang Bo was the king in the land of Changbai Mountain, which is a provocation to the emperor's heavenly might. The emperor also said that the king of Qi is good at shooting, so why not let the king of Qi lead some soldiers and horses to suppress those Diao people, so as to relieve the emperor's worries. "Yu Wenhua has an idea, and wants to take root in the imperial court? There are no doors. Yu Wenhua is still complacent, but he doesn't know that he regrets it more than once in the future.
"What Lord Yuwen said is very true, and the ministers seconded it." Well, squeezing out the court should be considered the best outcome.
"Hmm~, well, then well, restore the positions of Yongzhou Mu, King of Qi, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, give the head of the march of Henan Road, and lead the soldiers and horses of each county to suppress the rebellion in Qing and Henan. Full authority to handle all matters in Henan Province. ”
Emperor Yang of Sui's words were equivalent to deciding Yang Jun's official position and excluding Yang Jun from the center of power in the imperial court. Yang Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, fortunately he wasn't sent to any bitter cold place. Since ancient times, the Shandong region has been characterized by strong folk customs, which is conducive to military training. During the Sui Dynasty, Henan Province was all over the south bank of the Yellow River, which was roughly equivalent to Henan and Shandong in later generations.
However, Yang Yun was wishful, but Yang Guang's words shook the hearts of these big guys again. The position of the head of the march of Henan Province is good, but he has full authority to deal with all matters in Henan Province, so this is a big article, which is equivalent to the Emperor of the Soil, and the territory of the Emperor of the Soil is still very big. It's really a recipe for stealing chickens and rice, and you still want to exclude people from the center of power, how could you have thought that it would be such an ending. Now the ministers who are on the list have the urge to give themselves a slap in the face.
"Allow the King of Qi to transfer 5,000 soldiers and horses from each battalion in Beijing as guards, and after the Shangyuan Festival, he can go to Changbai Mountain to suppress the rebellion." Seeing Yang Jun's silence, Emperor Yang thought that he was dissatisfied, so he gave Yang Jun preferential conditions. If Yang Jian knew that he wouldn't die of depression, people were obviously thinking about things and were distracted, why did they become dissatisfied? But this is also good, I got some benefits, and made a lot of money in a muffled voice, which is really not a bully. The elite of the Beijing camp, at least you don't need to start from scratch, with a little training, you can become the first batch of elites in your own hands.
"Son, thank you. will never live up to his father's expectations, and will definitely clear his worries about his father's expedition. "Hurry up and make a statement, if you don't express your position, you don't know how to lift, and you won't be able to cry when the time comes.
"Well, that's good, is there anything else going on with Aiqing? If not, retreat. Emperor Yang said lazily, I played too late with a few palace maids last night, and I didn't get enough sleep, so I quickly went back to make up for sleep and then continued.
"Your Majesty, Minister Li Yuan has something to do." Well, it's time for Li Yuan to appear.
"Oh~, I don't know what happened to Li Aiqing." Emperor Yang's attitude towards Li Yuan is still quite kind, although it is a bit related to the past, Li Yuan's wife Dugu is the niece of Emperor Wen Dugu, so she has some relatives. But the most important thing is that Li Yuan built Jinyang Palace for his pleasure and satisfied him. Otherwise, the emperor wants to leave, and you still don't go to the road, so it's strange if you don't wear small shoes.
"The two dogs in the minister's family have a weak crown, and they both have the intention of serving Your Majesty, and forget that Your Majesty gave them two a chance." Oh~, it turned out to be a relationship with his son. Although many ministers despise it, but they have something to do with the emperor, and the probation system has just been abolished for a few years, so this recommendation is normal.
"Oh~, is it built and the people of the world? It's only been a few years since I left Jinyang, and I didn't expect them to grow up, since I want to share my worries, so let's do it. Li Aiqing returned to Taiyuan to be responsible for recruiting reserve soldiers and horses, training and escorting grain and grass. Feng Li Jiancheng is the captain of Zhaowu, and Li Shimin is the deputy lieutenant of Zhenwei, responsible for assisting Li Aiqing, do you think this is good? "For such a high-ranking courtier, and there is a little bit of kinship, it's not a big deal to spread two six-rank martial arts.
"The dogs in the minister's family have some imperial grace." Li Yuan bowed to the ground, relying on it, he can really pretend, no wonder he can get the world, and he can endure it almost to the same extent as Uncle Liu Huang.
Li Shimin began to enter the political arena.
