"Elder Ge is unwell now, and he needs to recuperate a lot, and he can't work on government affairs. But there is an errand for the elder to do, I don't know what the elder thinks? After depriving Gao Miao of his right to be the first assistant in one sentence, Yang Wu said suddenly.

"I don't know what the king has sent, as long as the old minister can do it, he will do it wholeheartedly!" Gao Miao said a little weakly.

"Don't worry, this matter is not difficult for you! You also know that Lone's prince is now almost five years old, and it's time to find a suitable teacher for him. ”

"Let the old minister be the master?" Gao Miao's eyes lit up.

With the current thriving state of Wu, it is possible to create a great dynasty in the future.

But to pass on this dynasty, there must be a qualified heir.

Yang Jiong, as the crown prince of Wu today, is not only the eldest son of Yang Wu, but also his only son, from any point of view, Yang Jiong should be the future heir.

So at present, it is natural to focus on cultivating and teaching him to be a qualified heir.

Gao Miao listened to Yang Wu's words before, and thought that he would have to go home to recuperate, although he didn't feel any dissatisfaction, but he always had some regrets in his heart; I didn't expect to be suddenly entrusted with this important task, and I was naturally extremely happy in my heart.

"The king is willing to entrust such a heavy task to the old minister, and the old minister is naturally willing, how can there be no reason not to be willing?"

Yang Wu smiled with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, then the prince's future cultivation will be handed over to the prince!" Of course, Taishi. Nowadays, it is still mainly about recuperating the body, and teaching the prince is just a matter of leisure! In addition, after all, the prince is young and stubborn, if he refuses to work hard when he plays, the prince only disciplines him, and there is no need to have any scruples! If he doesn't obey discipline, he won't be able to spare him! ”

"The king's words are kept in mind, and he will definitely teach the prince well! With the wisdom of the prince, he will definitely study hard! Gao Miao hurriedly replied.

At Yang Jiong's current age, he is mainly focused on reading and literacy, and these things did not need to be taught by Gao Miao personally, but now he just needs to recuperate, so Yang Wu handed over these things to him.

With the Taishi, the Taifu and Taibao in the three divisions will naturally have to be established.

In this regard, Yang Wu simply appointed Zhou Yin as the Taifu and Li Chenghei as the Taibao.

As for the three orphans, they have not been determined for the time being.

After appeasing Gao Miao, Yang Wu ordered the guards to help him go home to recuperate, and at the same time ordered the imperial doctor to go directly to Gaofu to live in order to take care of his condition at any time and prevent accidents; In addition, Yang Wu also rewarded a large number of medicinal materials suitable for treatment from the palace to show preferential treatment.

Yang Wu was so kind, which naturally moved Gao Miao and the others, and they were happy that they had followed a generous Mingjun.

However, as for who should replace Gao Miao after he fell ill, many people have some thoughts.

So maybe a few of the Cabinet members don't have the idea of competing now, but others don't.

Although the only people who are qualified to replace Gao Miao in handling government affairs are the ministers of the current cabinet, for others, they also have their own support and close people.

So of course, they want people close to them to replace Gao Miao.

The next day, on the Central Pole Hall, at the time of the court meeting.

"Now that Gao Ge Lao is sick and can't handle government affairs, he plans to let Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry handle government affairs on behalf of Gao Ge Lao, do you have any objections?"

What the ministers didn't expect was that the court meeting had just begun, and Yang Wu did not discuss it with them, so he came up with his own proposal.

In the past, although Yang Wu finally made up his mind about such an important personnel appointment, he would usually consult with others before making a decision, but it was rare for him to make an idea alone like today.

However, what surprised the ministers even more was that Yang Wu chose to let Chen Yanqian replace Gao Miao in handling government affairs.

It stands to reason that if Gao Miao falls ill, then Zhou Yin, who is second only to Gao Miao, should be replaced; Even if Zhou Yin is not used to replace him, then among the six books, there are several people with higher qualifications and prestige than Chen Yanqian, which are enough to replace Gao Miao to handle government affairs.

So the ministers couldn't understand why Yang Wu would use Chen Yanqian.

Of course, not everyone doesn't understand the reason for this, for example, all the ministers in the cabinet know very well that Chen Yanqian was selected and cultivated by Yang Wu, and it can be said that Yang Wu is a real cronie.

In contrast, none of the ministers in the current cabinet are Yang Wu's own cronies, and all of them are old ministers who followed Yang Xingmi at the beginning.

In this way, Yang Wu will let his cronies replace Gao Miao, which is also a matter of course, and no one can object to anything.

None of the ministers in the cabinet objected, and although the other ministers still had doubts in their hearts, few dared to come out to oppose it at this time.

Seeing this, Yang Wu directly announced that Taishi Gao Miao would continue to serve as a scholar of the first auxiliary university, but he mainly recuperated with peace of mind and did not handle official business at ordinary times.

At the same time, he also ordered Chen Yanqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, to be a scholar of Dongge University, and temporarily handle the affairs of the DPRK and China on behalf of Gao Miao.

As soon as this appointment came out, many people understood that Yang Wu was preparing to let Chen Yanqian take over Gao Miao's class.

Thinking that Chen Yanqian had been inconspicuous before he served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and there was no other significant credit except for the construction of Jinling City, and now he suddenly became the "acting prime minister", and the ministers couldn't help but feel a little jealous in their hearts.

"Since Chen Yanqian has been promoted to a scholar of Dongge University, his position as a secretary of the Ministry of Engineering is also vacant. I think that it should be served by Yang Xin, the Taizhou Thorn Shi who has presided over the Hanhaiyan project, do you have any objections? ”

Before the ministers could wake up from Chen Yanqian's sudden appointment, Yang Wu then threw out a new appointment, and it was even more surprising than the previous appointment of Chen Yanqian.

Chen Yanqian was also a secretary of the Ministry of Industry before anything, and he had sat in the position of Shengzhou Assassin for more than five years before serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and his qualifications were about the same.

But Yang Xin's words, since Tianyou's first year of the Jinshi, in just five years, he was quickly promoted from a small county order to the Taizhou Assassin History, and now he has crossed the level of political envoys, governors, and servants of various ministries in one step, and he has suddenly become a secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and this promotion is a little scary.

Of course, Yang Xin's identity also has its peculiarities, that is, Yang Xin is Yang Wu's clan brother and a real member of the clan.

Although Yang Wu did not give titles to the other clansmen of the Yang family, their clan identity was recognized.

And Yang Xin's branch is the closest one to Yang Wu among the many clansmen of the Yang family, coupled with his own hard work and calm character, so Yang Wu will suddenly promote him.

"The ministers have no objections!"

While the ministers were still thinking about the reasons for this, several ministers of the cabinet had already stood up to express their opinions.

Seeing this situation, others could only agree with Yang Wu's decision.

"It seems that the king now wants to vigorously promote his cronies among the civil officials!" Thinking of the two appointments made by Yang Wu one after another, all the ministers had such thoughts in their hearts.

In fact, in this era, after the establishment of the country, the clan will generally be added to the clan, like Zhu Wen's several sons, including adopted sons and nephews, have been crowned kings, and Wang Jian's son has also been crowned king, that is, Ma Yin, the king of Chu who has just established the country, and his so-called left and right ministers are also served by his two younger brothers.

And in Wu State so far, only one of Yang Wu's younger brothers has been crowned king, and the people of other clans basically do not have titles, which is abnormal.

Therefore, this time Yang Wu decided to promote Yang Xin to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the cabinet ministers agreed without any opinion.

Seeing that his two appointments were successfully passed, Yang Wu was naturally satisfied in his heart.

This time Gao Miao suddenly fell ill, which was both a test and an opportunity for him to expand the power of his own cronies in the cabinet.

……

When Yang Wu was busy arranging various changes brought about by Gao Miao's sudden illness, more than a dozen extremely tall sea ships slowly docked on the shore by the dock outside Jinling City.

"Everyone be careful, don't break it!"

"Be careful!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

As the sailors continued to shout, the ship finally came to rest at the dock, and the people quickly connected the ship's side to the shore with long planks.

"What the hell is it on the ship, so careful?"

"It must be some kind of valuable, right? I heard that after our army captured Fuzhou, there were a lot of merchants there, maybe some rare things they transported? ”

On the dockside, many onlookers were talking.

After a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves from a dozen ships, and then, under the tug of the sailors, horses were constantly being transported to the shore.

"It's a horse! This is a ship that transports horses! A dozen ships, I'm afraid they can transport hundreds of horses, right? ”

"There should be more than that, maybe more than two hundred horses!" The crowd was even more amazed.

The cavalry of the Wu State often crossed the river by boat, but these ships in front of them were obviously not transporting cavalry, they were carrying new horses from overseas!

Wu is short of horses, which the entire Wu country knows from top to bottom.

In order to obtain horses, the ministers of the DPRK and China took a lot of pains to scavenge and buy horses by various means, but the results were not good.

Until now, Wu Guo has only obtained more than fifty horses at one time, which is obviously far from enough to meet the needs of the army.

This is also a good thing that in the past two years, the focus of Wu has shifted to the south, and the demand for cavalry has been greatly reduced, and it doesn't matter much to deal with Ma Yin, Wang Yanjun and other forces, even if there is no cavalry.

However, if there is a northern expedition in the future, it is obviously impossible to do without strong cavalry.

And this time, more than 200 horses were obtained at one time, although the number is still not much, but it is already a huge improvement compared to before.
