Yu Yuan Qing'er's dissatisfaction, Yang Yong naturally knew in his heart, Li Gang and others Yong casually told a few small jokes to amuse Yuan Qing'er again, and at night, the two had a fight to the death, after the joy, Yuan Qing'er suddenly lost half of his strength like a puddle of soft mud, tired in Yang Yong's arms, and the dissatisfaction during the day had long since disappeared.

The next morning, when Yang Yong opened his eyes, Yuan Qing'er had already gotten up, sat not far from the edge of the bed and groomed in the mirror, his face still had the blush of last night, and his delicate face seemed to have an extra layer of luster, shining.

Yang Yong moved slightly, Yuan Qing'er was already alarmed, turned his head and shouted sweetly: "Your Highness! ”

Yang Yong's face sank: "Qing'er, how many times have I told you, I want to call my husband, not Your Highness." ”

Yuan Qing'er bit her teeth, and a trace of distress appeared on her face: "However, this is not in line with etiquette." ”

"What kind of etiquette do husbands and wives talk about, usually so many people call me Your Highness, I'm tired of hearing it, if you go to the house, facing Qing'er, you are also a mouthful, then what fun do I have?"

In fact, after the two got married, Yuan Qing'er was commensurate with her husband to Yang Yong, and outsiders only called His Royal Highness when they were in Beijing, but Yang Yong left Beijing for half a year, Yuan Qing'er often had to enter the palace to accompany Dugu's family, and received a lot of royal etiquette before changing his words. ”

After a long absence, Yuan Qing'er is obviously a lot more mature than half a year ago, remembering the delicate nature of the person in front of her last night, and hearing such a heartfelt name. Yang Yong's heart suddenly warmed, and he patted the edge of the bed: "Qing'er, sit here." ”

The flush on Yuan Qing'er's face suddenly became even more than a few points, and when she saw the eager gaze in Yang Yong's eyes, she didn't understand what Yang Yong meant, and she twisted it before saying, "Husband." It's dawn, it's time to get up, otherwise you won't let people laugh. ”

"Which subordinate is impatient to live, dare to laugh at the prince and the princess, Qing'er, come here!"

Yang Yong's tone was tough, and Yuan Qing'er twisted it again before getting up and moving towards the edge of the bed. As soon as I sat down, I felt that my waist was hugged by my husband, and I couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, and fell down to the bed......

The winter sun was late, and the sun was rising, but the prince and the princess still showed no signs of getting up, which made several girls who had been serving the princess for half a year in a dilemma, so they had to stay at the door.

Yang Yong stretched. Got up from the bed, looking at Yuan Qing'er lying on the bed lazily and weakly, her heart was full of man's pride, just now in bed, Yuan Qing'er fully retreated, not only calming down the turmoil of going out for half a year. Even the matter of Yun Mei'er and Xing'er's two daughters has also been nodded by Yuan Qing'er, and she will take the initiative to propose to the queen in a few days to accept the two daughters as the crown prince Zhaoxun.

If Yang Yong took the initiative to propose a concubine to the Dugu clan, Yang Yong estimated that even if the Dugu clan agreed, he would be severely criticized, and Yuan Qing'er proposed that the Dugu clan would only cherish this daughter-in-law more, and the resistance to consent would be much reduced.

"Hmm. It's better to find a gentle and graceful wife, if you find a wife who is the same as Fang Xuanling's wife, she would rather drink poisonous wine than take a concubine from her husband, then even the emperor will have nothing to do with her. It's a pity that I don't know who Fang Xuanling's wife is in history, otherwise I can set up a family affair for Fang Xuanling first, and then I can watch a good show. Yang Yong thought maliciously.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Seeing Yang Yong come out, Yahuan, who was waiting outside, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly greeted Yang Yong.

Yang Yong glanced at several maids, all of them looked beautiful, the oldest was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was only eleven or twelve years old, all of whom Yang Yong didn't know, and they were obviously the girls newly selected by Yuan Qing'er in the past six months.

Although these girls had served Yuan Qing'er for several months, it was the first time they had contact with the prince, and their hands trembled nervously, and at the same time, their faces were a little excited.

Under the service of several girls, Yang Yong finished washing, and a mischievous thought suddenly arose in his mind, and he waved his hand and said, "You go and wait for the princess to get up." ”

"Yes!" Several girls Ying Yingying Yanyan answered, ran to the inner room, Yuan Qing'er's exclamation came immediately, and then there was a big chaos in the room, the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, and there were also several girls pleading guilty in panic.

Yang Yong shook his head with a smile, walked out of the dormitory, there were already a lot of people waiting outside, first Li Gang and others also reported on yesterday's problems, and some officials who did not welcome the prince back to Beijing also came to visit again, and when Yang Yong was busy one by one, it was already dark, and the next few days were like this, every day there was an endless stream of officials to visit the East Palace, so that Yang Yong had no time to rest at all, Yang Yong simply went to the court in advance, and closed his eyes after coming back, so that he got rid of the entanglement of various officials.

It will soon be the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, this day is the last early dynasty of the three years of the emperor, after today, the various departments of the court will seal the vacation, take seven days off in a row, and do not return to the court until the fifth day of the first month.

In Yang Yong's previous life, he could not imagine that the feudal officials had so many holidays, and the officials first had one day off every five days, which was called rest, which meant bathing and resting. In addition to the five-day holiday, there are many holidays in Dasui, such as Tianqing Festival, Shangyuan Festival, Tiansheng Festival, Summer Solstice, Xiantian Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, Xiayuan Festival, Beginning of Spring, Dragon Boat Festival, Chufu, Zhongfu, Liqiu, Qixi Festival, Autumn Equinox, Chongyang, Lidong......

Among these festivals, the New Year's Festival, the cold food, and the winter solstice are the heaviest, each of which is held for seven days

The festival is more than one day, the official festival of the holiday in a year is as many as 544 days, plus five days and one day of rest, even if the middle because of some festivals and the rest of the festival repeatedly, the number of days off in a year still reaches more than 130 days, than the implementation of weekends in China in later generations, more than 20 days of rest a year.

Of course, in addition to the rest of the festival, the New Year's Festival, the cold food, and the winter solstice, all officials are on the same holiday, and most of the officials at all levels of the rest of the festival need to participate in some celebrations, in fact, there is no rest time, and the important ministers of the court will also participate in various activities organized by the royal family during the New Year's Festival. There are more than 80 days of just four festivals, not to mention that based on human blood and patriarchal concepts, there are many humane vacations in the court, such as parents who live 3,000 miles away, and there are 30 days of provincial holidays every three years (excluding journeys); 500 miles away, there are 15 days of provincial holidays every five years. The son had three days off when he was crowned; There are nine days off when children get married......

I have to say. Judging from the holidays, Sui and the previous Han officials were very happy, because the holiday was about to end, the work of the various yamen in the court was basically over, and the officials did not want to discuss any political affairs today.

Just when everyone thought there was nothing to do today. Dr. Guozijian He Tuo stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" ”

Everyone looked at He Tuo in surprise, not knowing what he was going to do today, Yang Jian ignored everyone's suspicions, and said directly: "Quasi!" ”

—

"Your Majesty, Shangshu's right servant has been hanging in the air for a long time, and this is still a heavy position in the court, and Weichen thinks that if he is allowed to hang empty for the New Year, it will be very unlucky for the new dynasty, and he also asks His Majesty to choose the meritocracy. Re-appointed the post of Shangshu's right servant for the court. ”

As soon as He Tudi's words came out, everyone suddenly realized that Zhao Xuan, the right servant of the previous Shangshu, was demoted by Yang Jian to the assassin of Shaanzhou because he offended the emperor because of his disobedience, and now a month has passed, and Yang Jian has already intended to let Yu Qingze, the secretary of the ministry, take over. It's just that there has been no formal appointment, and today should be the time to promote Yu Qingze to the right servant of Shangshu.

It's just that everyone is secretly strange, the right servant of Shangshu is undoubtedly important, and the secretary of the ministry is also an important position, and the right servant of Shangshu is unlucky for the New Year, is it good to have the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials hanging for the New Year, could it be that the emperor has determined the candidate for the secretary of Shangshu?

In the past, there was no dispute that Lu Kai would succeed Shangshu in terms of qualifications and merit, but now Lu Kai has lost the opportunity. Although there is also a servant of the Ministry of Officials, a lord waiter, two Sixun waiters, and a merit waiter, a total of five people. In terms of qualifications, there is not much difference between the five meritorious people, who should succeed them.

Sure enough, as soon as He Tu's words fell, Yang Jian nodded and smiled, and gave Su Wei a look: "What He Qing said is reasonable, Su Aiqing, who do you think should take over as Shangshu's right servant." ”

Of course, Su Wei would not fold the platform, so he hurriedly got up and replied to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu Yu of the Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and he once led the troops to defeat the Turkic army. ”

Su Wei is Nayan, the highest governor of the province, although the power is lighter than that of the left and right servants of the Shangshu, but Su Wei in addition to the post of Nayan, but also concurrently serves as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the imperial historian, Dali Zhengqing, Jing Zhaoyin, except for the slightly smaller official position of Jing Zhaoyin, all of them are a chief official, one body and five positions, and the power is not as good as Gao Ying, as soon as Su Wei spoke, everyone knew that it must be the meaning of the emperor, and suddenly said in unison: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

"Very good, Yu Qing will take the order!"

Yu Qing hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and said in a high voice: "Weichen takes the order." ”

"Yu Aiqing's outstanding merits, in the post of the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu selected talents, conscientious, indispensable, and knows the military affairs, brave and good at fighting, for the country's good officials, now temporarily removed from the post of the Ministry of Shangshu, transferred to the right servant of the Shangshu, hope that Aiqing will guard against arrogance and rashness, and continue to serve the court in the new position."

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! Although he had long predicted that he was going to take over as Shangshu's right servant, but the will really came down, and it was the last day of the early dynasty this year, Yu Qing was still very happy, and his face was full of joy after getting up.

Yang Yong sat in the front seat, frowning, this is the third time he has participated in the early dynasty after he came back, the lack of the official department is about to be vacated, the hundred officials in the court have long known, these days to visit Yang Yong There are no less than dozens of officials, some officials who think they have the opportunity to get involved in the post of the official department are intentionally or unintentionally want to get Yang Yong's support, especially the other five servants in the ministry except for Lu Kai are more active.

It's just that Yang Yong, whether from the palace, or Gao Ying, Su Wei and other important ministers did not hear that Yu Qingze would be transferred before the New Year, and he did not express his support for anyone, today's incident is too sudden, I can't help but say that it was premeditated, Yang Yong's gaze secretly swept to his father Yang Jian, Yang Jian sat on the dragon chair, his face was kind, his eyes were soft, but Yang Yong felt that his father's gaze was unfathomable, and when he saw Yang Jian's gaze turned around, he hurriedly lowered his head slightly to avoid it.

"Your Majesty, since Lord Yu has been transferred to the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, the post of Secretary of the Ministry of Officials cannot be vacant, and I also ask Your Majesty to confirm the candidates for the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials." Yu Qing thanked him, and He Tuo jumped out impatiently.

Now everyone knows that He Tuo has been instructed by the emperor. Otherwise, Yu Qing would not have become the right servant of Shangshu so smoothly, and everyone's eyes looked at the five servants of the rest of the ministry who were the most promising.

Yang Jian snorted, and said to Yu Qingze: "Yu Aiqing, who do you think can take over as the secretary of the ministry?" ”

Yu Qing re-emerged, his gaze swept behind him

The six waiters landed on the ground, and the hearts of the six people were pounding. Yu Qing is in charge of the new Shangshu's right servant, and his words are undoubtedly the most weighty, as long as a name is spit out of his mouth, basically the Shangshu of the Ministry can be determined.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thought that Lu Kai, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was excellent, and he had been in the Ministry for three years, and there was no fault in selecting talents. When you can take over the position of Shangshu. ”

Yu Qing said a few words, but it seemed to be a thunderbolt that exploded on the hall, and hundreds of officials exclaimed one after another.

"Lu Kai, how is it possible?"

"How could it be him?"

"It's strange, did the official's ears hear it wrong, how could Lord Yu recommend Lu Kai?"

……

The faces of the other five servants in the ministry were even more flushed, and they never thought that they would hear the name of a person who had already been sentenced to withdraw from the competition from the mouth of their former boss.

"Wechen is against!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at each other, and it was Wang Yi, another squire of the Ministry of Officials, who spoke out against Wang Yi, who was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, and was different from other Shandong Gaomen who had some resistance to the Guanlong court. After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, the Taiyuan Wang family was one of the first Shandong Gaomen to take refuge in Emperor Wu of Zhou, and moved the family into Chang'an, after the Sui Dynasty Zhou, the Wang family was loyal to the new dynasty in time, although the practice of the Wang family was not stopped by other Gaomen in Shandong. But it has been well rewarded, and now there are as many as 100 people who have joined the court as officials, and Wang Yi is the brightest person of the Wang family.

"Oh, why is Qing objected?"

"Wechen...... Weichen ...... "Seeing the emperor's inquiry, Wang Yi suddenly didn't know how to deal with it, Wang Yi was the third official in the ministry except for Yu Qingze and Lu Kai. He was full of thought that after Lu Kai was out, the position of the secretary of the ministry would fall to him, but he didn't expect Yu Qing to propose Lu Kai, so he shouted out in a hurry.

Lu Kai was implicated in the assassination of the crown prince. Everyone just subconsciously judged that Lu Kai was out, after the trial, Lu Kai had already cleared his name, and he couldn't use this as a reason to oppose Lu Kai, and he couldn't say that he wanted to be a secretary of the ministry to oppose it, not to mention that Yu Qing was his direct boss, and now it was on the next level, if Wang Yi forcibly opposed Yu Qingze's proposal, I am afraid that most officials would criticize it.

"No matter what, I don't know what to do, go down!" Seeing that Wang Yi couldn't come up with a reason to object, Yang Jian's face suddenly showed a trace of anger, and he waved his hand to let Wang Yi retreat.

"Yes, Weichen retires!" Wang Yi retreated gloomily, knowing that there was no hope for the official book.

"Yu Aiqing proposed that Lu Kai take over as the secretary of the ministry, who else objected?" Yang Jian glanced at the ministers in the hall with a wide range of eyes.

Although Yu Qingzedi's proposal was unexpected, it was just after Wang Yi's matter, all the ministers guessed in their hearts that the emperor still liked Lu Kai, and they didn't dare to move for a while, so they had to look at Yang Yong.

Yang Jian quickly discovered this kind of scene, and his eyes fixed on Yang Yong's face: "Prince, what do you think?" ”

Yang Yong hurriedly got up: "Father, the son has been away from Beijing for half a year, and he is not familiar with the situation in the court, but since Lu Aiqing can be recommended by Yu Qing, it must not be bad, the son has no opinion, and I ask my father to make a decision!" ”

Yang Yong thought that his father would at least ask the ministers, but he didn't expect Yang Jian to take it immediately: "Well, the prince has been away from Beijing for half a year, and he has matured a lot, I am very selfish, since this is the case, Lu Kai, the servant of the ministry, accepts the order!" ”

"Weichen takes the order!"

"Lu Kai, the servant of the ministry, is diligent and loyal, since he was appointed as the servant of the ministry, he has been loyal to political affairs, and now he has been removed from the post of the servant of the ministry and promoted to the secretary of the ministry, as for the vacancy of the post of the servant of the ministry, it will be discussed after the year!"

"Your Majesty, long live! Banzai! Hooray! Lu Kai's eyes were full of tears, and he knocked his head several times before getting up, remembering that the post of the secretary was lost and regained, and now he is hesitant in a dream.

"Congratulations to Lord Lu for his ascension!"

"Lord Heshilu!"

……

"Rejoice, rejoice."

After the dispersal of the dynasty, outside the Taihe Palace, countless officials suddenly surrounded Lu Kai and congratulated Lu Kai, although Lu Kai was extremely disgusted with those colleagues who were afraid of talking to him yesterday, he had to put a smile on his face and accept everyone's congratulations.

Wang Yi looked at Lu Kai, who was surrounded by all the ministers, snorted heavily, and hurried past the side, just now in the hall, he was equivalent to completely offending Lu Kai, and now Lu Kai has become his top boss, but he can't give in to Lu Kai, otherwise he will lose face. He caught a glimpse of Yang Yong's figure in his eyes, and hurriedly chased down: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please stay!" ”
