Chapter 268: The Philosophy of Hugging Your Thighs

Yang Su himself was born as a military general and did not understand the construction of civil palaces, and his niece and son-in-law Feng Lun was good at civil engineering, and he was Yang Su's own relative.

Queen Dugu has lived in the palace for a long time, how do you know that it is not easy to cut mountains and valleys in the sun and rain? She only knew that Yang Su had received a huge amount of money from the imperial court, but she hadn't even laid a foundation for a year.

Since the second year, she has summoned Yang Su to the palace several times to inquire about the progress of the project, and even said that she heard someone say that Yang Su was greedy for the project money, which led to slow progress.

Yang Su has made countless enemies in his life, and he doesn't know how many people are in his position, and he has been encountering open guns and hidden arrows in officialdom for decades, but this time, it was the queen's trust in him that went wrong, blaming him for not doing things well. And at this time, due to the scorching heat, epidemics were rampant among servants, and many servants took the opportunity to flee.

Later, Feng Lun said that the corpses could be used to fill in the valley and pile up soil and stones, so as to kill three birds with one stone, not only to deal with the corpses, but also to level the valley and speed up the progress, and to deter those unwitting servants, so that they did not dare to flee anymore and work hard.

After using this method, Renshou Palace was completed in a little more than two years, and it was magnificent, but behind this majestic palace was the accumulation of bones of tens of thousands of servants.

Afterwards, Yang Jian sent Gao Xi to inspect it, and when he saw that the palace had been built so luxuriously in two years, he knew that it must be caused by Yang Su's abuse of people's power. also found out the matter of Yang Su rushing to bury the body. After going back, he told Yang Jian truthfully.

Yang Jian had a preconceived bad impression. The next day, he personally inspected and found that it was indeed as Gao Xi said, and at that time, Long Yan was furious, scolding Yang Su for causing him to complain about the world, and even so angry that he kicked a big stone down the valley on the spot, hurting his toes and not knowing it. This time, Yang Jian was really angry, even more angry than when Yang Jian joked that he wanted to be the emperor and was heard by him.

Yang Su was so frightened at that time that he knew that he would anger Tianyan. It will bring disaster to the whole people, and they are ready to die to thank the world. Thanks to Feng Lun, he gave him an idea, saying that although the emperor was angry, the queen would definitely be satisfied, so Yang Su asked to see the queen overnight and asked her to intercede with the emperor.

As a result, Queen Dugu blew the pillow wind overnight, and finally got through Yang Jian's work, and followed Yang Jian to the palace at the court meeting the next day. Loyalty, commendable, finally coped with the matter.

After Wang Huaqiang heard about it. let out a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Queen Dugu supported the Duke of Yueguo, otherwise the emperor would be furious, but he turned his face and didn't recognize people, two years ago, when Shangshu's right servant shot Su Wei and was dismissed, who would have thought that the emperor would say that he would be exempted." ”

Wang Huaqiang is talking about the change of phase two years ago, as the right servant of Shangshu Su Wei, with the improvement of his official position, his ambition and appetite have become bigger and bigger, although he was not stupid enough to directly challenge Gao Xi, who is the first assistant of the empire, but began to use his right servant of Shangshu, responsible for the promotion and assessment of officials, began to form a large party for personal gain, and spread his protégés and henchmen in the court.

Su Wei gave himself five important positions alone, and his son Su Kui also added a position of doctor of the Guozi family, when the emperor opened the twelfth year, the court discussed the matter of etiquette, Su Kui's boss, the senior doctor of Guozijian He Tuo and Su Kui disagreed, Su Kui talked eloquently in the Guozijian, so that He Tuo could not come to the stage, and the most angry officials of the Ministry of Etiquette expressed their position, who was reasonable.

Naturally, an academic problem has become a problem of standing in line in the officialdom, although He Tuo is a senior old scholar who is rich and rich (he is actually still a Hu man from the Western Regions), but because he has always been powerless, because those officials of the Ministry of Rites all said that Su Kui was reasonable, so angry that He Tuo almost fainted on the spot, scolding that his seventy years of experience is not as good as a thirty-year-old boy.

The more he thought about it after He Tuo went back, the more angry he became, and he simply wrote to Yang Jian, saying that Su Wei had formed a party for personal gain, and the people who had been recommended and promoted by him tended to be inflammatory, and he impeached Su Wei and Lu Kai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xue Daoheng, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Hong, the right man of Shangshu, and Li Tonghe, the waiter of the examination of merit, and others to form friends, and all the people in Taiwan Province called Wang Hong the prince, called Li Tonghe his uncle, and said that the two were like the children of the Su Wei family.

Yang Jian didn't expect Su Wei to go so far, and ordered a thorough investigation, and the result was not only that everything reported by He Tu was true, but also found out that Su Wei used improper means to appoint his uncle's son, that is, his cousins Su Che and Su Su as officials. In addition, Guozixue hired Wang Xiaoyi, a native of Liyang, as a doctor of calligraphy, but Su Wei asked Lu Kai to arrange Wang Xiaoyi to join the army in his Shangshu Mansion.

After the truth of the case was revealed, Yang Jian asked Su Wei to recite in public at the court meeting, Xie Hui was the minister of Liu Song Dynasty, and he was also a famous traitor who formed a party for personal gain, and launched a rebellion after the most Lu Dynasty, Su Wei sweated like rain when reciting this paragraph, and almost fainted, Yang Jian removed Su Wei from his official position in front of hundreds of officials, and went home to live idlely, while Yang Su took over his position as the right servant of Shangshu and became the vice minister of the empire.

Huangfu smiled and said: "By the way, I have a piece of gossip here, it should be eight or nine to ten, Su Wei may have to make a comeback." ”

Wang Fei sighed: "Is this true?" ”

Han Shige nodded: "I have also heard about this matter, the emperor has recently missed Su Wei a little, and I heard that he is going to summon him into the court again and take over the position of Nayan left by Yang Su, so that Yang Su and Su Wei have lost their two important ministers." The DPRK and China will temporarily form a new situation in which Gao Xi dominates the government, Yang Su ranks second, and Su Weixi accompanies the last seat. ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded again and again when he heard this, but he began to secretly calculate in his heart: he rejected Gao Xi's solicitation six years ago, and did not follow him to become a hardcore prince-party, which doomed him to be Gao Xi's person, and his business has been doing well in the past few years, although Gao Xi acquiesced to his Bliss Villa in Daxing, but also kept a distance from himself, he invited him to come to the villa several times, but he refused, and did not give face at all, this stereotypical and orthodox minister, after all, is not a person who is not all the way to himself, It is impossible to carry yourself more in the future.

I am not familiar with Su Wei and Wang Huaqiang at all, but I know that this person is a typical villain, Yang Jian knows him well, and he uses his talents to hate others, and it is not a good choice to take refuge in this person.

Counting the calculations, it is still Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, who is the most promising, aside from the fact that he was familiar with Yang Su during the last southern expedition to quell the rebellion, Wang Huaqiang has been in contact with more upper-level intelligence in the past two years, and he also knows that Yang Su is mean to people and looks down on people who have no talent, even if he is above the court, he often does not give people face, and directly reprimands his subordinates who are ineffective, even Su Wei has not been scolded by him, only to Gao Xi, Niu Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Niu Hong, and Xue Daoheng, the waiter of the internal history, he is polite.

Yang Su's stinky and hard character offended many people, and he didn't have many real friends in the court, but Yang Su's family was huge, several brothers lived together, and they all held official positions in the court, Yang Su himself was both civil and military, although it was an orthodox Han family, but it was a famous general in the world, so that the Guanlong military nobles dominated by the Hu people were also convinced of their military talents, and the Yang family also had their own place in the Han family and the Guanlong military nobles.

It's just that his niece-in-law, Feng Lun, seems to be very hostile to himself, and he was angry with himself when he was in the Southern Expedition, and he has visited Yang Su several times over the years, but he has been hindered and turned away.

Wang Huaqiang thought of this, raised his head, and smiled: "I didn't expect that it was only three months after leaving Beijing, and so many things had happened." It seems that I will be busy again, it is not easy to do business, these gods have to take care of it, and if they don't come to me for trouble, I will make money. ”

After the four of them said a few more words, the three of them saluted and said goodbye, and Wang Huaqiang sent people to transport all the money of the three families this month to each person's carriage, and then returned to Xiaoyao Building with a heavy heart. (To be continued......)
