Yang Ming knew very well that he would not stay in Jingzhou for long.

After leaving this time, less than a year later, he had to come back, and his grandmother Dugu Jialuo died in the second year of Renshou as recorded in the history books, so his grandfather Yang Jian should not be wrong, and he will die in August of the fourth year of Renshou.

The death of a grandmother and the death of a grandfather are two different concepts.

Yang Jian is the emperor, and when he is critically ill, a major event will be involved, the transfer of imperial power.

There has always been a change of imperial power, and there is no one who has not been without accidents, even if my father is now the crown prince, he still can't escape.

Historically, there were two people who almost made Comrade Yang Guang fall behind, one is the current Shangshu Liu Shu of the Ministry of War, the husband of Yang Awu, the princess of Lanling, and the other is called Yuan Yan, who is currently the Huangmen Shilang of the Provincial Ministry.

There are two Yuanyan in the Great Sui, both of whom were born in the Luoyang Yuan clan, one was the chief governor of Yizhou for Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, and died early, and the other was the one in Menxia Province.

So before Yang Ming left, he deliberately found Pei Ju's secret meeting.

The two of them sat in Pei Ju's study, and after all the subordinates retreated, Pei Ju frowned and said:

"Your Highness has something you need to leave to me to arrange?"

Yang Ming shook his head and said, "I just wanted to talk to you about something."

"But it doesn't hurt to say that," Pei Ju said.

Yang Ming said, "What does Yang Su think will happen in the future?"

How could he ask this question? After pondering for a moment, Pei Ju said calmly, "There will be a period of low."

Amazing, sure enough, he saw it thoroughly, Yang Ming smiled, "How do you say it?"

Pei Ju said: "At that time, Yang Su is already a supreme minister, and he has a lot of fame, and there is no rival in the court, which is not a good thing."

"That's right," Yang Ming nodded, "Su Wei is conservative, he doesn't want to provoke people, and he is too tactful to cause Yang Su in Shangshu Province to dominate alone, but as everyone knows, his right servant shot was originally meant to balance Yang Su, but he blindly avoided it, which is incomprehensible."

This kid is really unusual, he sees the situation so clearly? Pei Ju smiled:

"Deliberately, he and Yang Su are not in harmony, it has not been a year or two, and now it is just another way to deal with Yang Su, which is called retreat as advance."

Yang Ming nodded in agreement: "Although my father is the prince, but the power of the old crown prince Yang Yong is still there, if Yang Su loses power, it will be disadvantageous to me, but, as the abbot Fang Cai said, Su Wei has already put Yang Su on the shelf, and the Supreme will not allow a dominant court to last too long, so within a few months, Yang Su will inevitably go down."

This son is enough to conspire! is as conceited as Pei Ju, and now it seems that he has found a soulmate who can communicate with him, and he smiled heartily:

"His Royal Highness's prediction is exactly the same as mine, Imperial Doctor Liang Bi, during this time, like a mad dog, he kept biting Yang Su in the court, obviously there was someone behind him, who does His Highness think it will be?"

Yang Ming stretched out his index finger and pointed to the sky, Pei Ju suddenly laughed:

"Awesome."

Yang Ming smiled: "Uncle Yue, don't laugh, you have to be careful with yourself."

"Me?" Pei Ju was stunned and said, "Could it be that it will also target me?"

Yang Ming nodded: "After Gao Gong, Yang Su can sit on the left servant and shoot, who has the most credit?"

Pei Ju broke out: "Naturally, she is the Holy Queen."

Dugu Garo has been Yang Su's greatest contribution since he had the idea of Yi Chu, although Yang Su's purpose in doing this is also to support Yang Guang to take the position, but he and Dugu Hou have the same purpose, so the two are on the same front.

Dugu Hou also saw that Yang Su had helped her so much, and she felt that Gao Gong was becoming more and more unreliable, so she pushed Yang Su up.

But now, Duguhou is gone.

And the wilted Su Wei saw the situation, deliberately showed his fear of Yang Su, and put Yang Su in a higher place.

Now, it is no longer possible for Yang Jian not to be suspicious of Yang Su.

Yang Ming just smiled without any explanation, because he could see that Pei Ju had gradually reacted.

Pei Ju frowned and said, "Your Highness means that there are people

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Supreme Intention to weaken Yang Su, you want to target the crown prince?"

Bull ratio! I'll talk to you about three floors, and you've already jumped to five floors.

This man is really terrible...... Yang Ming nodded and said:

"Shangshu left servant, in charge of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Soldiers, and the Ministry of Rites, you are the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, the Book of the Ministry of War is Liu Shu, and the Book of Rites is Niu Hong, if you want to weaken Yang Su, you must start from these three places."

"Although you and Yang Su have an average relationship, but after all, they are all in-laws with the East Palace, for the sake of my father's face, there will be no contradiction between the two of you, as for Niu Hong, he is the only one respected by Yang Su in the entire court, and the relationship between the two is good, then, there will be only one Liu Shu left."

Pei Ju nodded and said, "Liu Shu is a concubine of the dynasty, and he has been the old prince's Qianniu preparation, which is worth using, so you suspect that the problem will be with Liu Shu?"

"It must be this person," Yang Ming nodded, "If my guess is correct, after the Imperial Historian Liang Bi comes up, he will be next."

Pei Ju nodded, he still recognized Yang Ming's statement.

Because between Yang Su and Liu Shu, they didn't deal with each other in the first place.

Hiss...... Pei Ju was suddenly shocked, and suddenly remembered that during this period of time, Liu Shu had been summoned by the Supreme the most, and when he went to Renshou Palace, Liu Shu also followed.

How did Yang Ming see through this? He was in the bureau, and he didn't know it, Yang Ming didn't even go to the court meeting, how could he see that Liu Shu had a problem?

The more Pei Ju thought about it, the more he felt that Yang Ming's guess was completely correct.

If you want to weaken Yang Su, you must support a newcomer to the position.

Su Weiming didn't want to fight against Yang Su, so who had the guts?

Except for the supreme son-in-law, there is really no suitable candidate.

And Yang Su and Liu Shu originally had a big contradiction, I heard last time that after Yang Su came back from the expedition, he ordered the military department to re-supervise a batch of armor stomach weapons, but Liu Shu's reply at that time was: Yu Servant Shot, Dao Shangshu refused.

The meaning is: tell Yang Su that Lao Tzu is unwilling.

Moreover, Yang Su also ridiculed Liu Shu's father Liu Ji and uncle Liu Su back then: Erliu is destroyed, and Lonely Yang is alone.

Because when Yang Jian usurped the throne, Liu Shu and their Hedong Liu did not clearly express their support, so after the establishment of the Great Sui, it has been going downhill, and Yang Su came from behind, and he was full of spirits, so he couldn't help but bury the two of them.

The two families have a grudge at this point.

Pei Ju suddenly realized: "Do you think that Liu Shu will take the opportunity of rectifying Yang Su to target the prince?"

"It's hard to say, but we have to be prepared for this," Yang Ming said, "This person, you have to pay more attention."

Pei Ju nodded: "Did His Highness tell the prince these words?"

"No," Yang Ming shook his head and smiled, "If my father knew, he would have stood up to protect Yang Su, and even cleaned up Liu Shu, which is contrary to the will of the Supreme and inappropriate."

Nima...... What about abandoning the car to protect the handsome? Pei Ju couldn't help but scold Yang Ming in his heart.

[In view of the general environment,

After scolding, he couldn't help laughing, what Yang Ming said was right, he couldn't let the prince know, so as not to have a crisis of trust between the supreme and the prince.

Pei Juzheng said, "I will pay more attention, and I will not let Liu Shu lead the fire to the East Palace."

You do something, I don't worry, Yang Ming got up and said goodbye: "If the eldest princess has something to find you, Lord Yuezhang can help if she can, and if you are embarrassed, you don't have to."

"Understood."

Of course, Pei Ju knew that Yang Lihua was behind the scenes to facilitate the marriage between her daughter and Yang Ming, and her son's official title was also helped by her.

Since there is something to report, when there is something to ask, Yang Lihua will definitely have something to ask him for help.

Before leaving, Yang Ming told Pei Ju that the Ministry of Officials was in charge of the appointment of local officials, and in the eyes of the Supreme, the people in this position must not deal with Yang Su, lest Yang Su continue to arrange his own people in the place, Pei Ju is obviously not the best candidate, so the Supreme may beat his idea.

Of course, it will not be what Pei Ju will do, but it is likely to replace Pei Ju's official book that he has just arrived.

Pei Ju was preoccupied.

After Yang Ming returned to the palace, he began to write letters to Xiao Maha.

In addition to the death of the Supreme next year, there will be another major event, that is, the rebellion of Yang Liang, the king of Han.

Yang Liang is in Jinyang, if he captures Daxing, Hedong is a must-pass place, so Yang Ming must prepare early, so in his letter, he asked Xiao Maha to train an elite force with a number of about 5,000 as soon as possible.

Li Jing led his Hedong disciples to attack the Turks in the north last year, and he had already established a relationship with the local military government, and because of the huge losses, many generals were lost, so when the military government replenished the troops, Li Jing arranged a lot of his own people under the instruction of Yang Ming.

Therefore, don't look at Li Jing as just a Hedong county at the moment, but he has actually controlled the Hedong Military Government.

No matter how much Yang Ming trusts Li Jing, he will not let his family dominate, and Xiao Maha is the one who balances Li Jing.

There is no way, Yang Ming is destined to be wary of all the people around him when he sits in this position.

Historically, it was Yang Su who cleaned up Yang Liang, and Yang Liang rebelled, and the banner was also to eradicate the female thief Yang Su.

Looking at the historical data, almost all the rebel slogans will not be aimed at the emperor, because if you dare to play this banner, the people below will not listen.

Rebellion, that's the rebels, eradicate the female cadres, that's the rebels, the soldiers can still carry it, but they are easy to be fooled.

Li Yuan is an exception, this kid saw that the Great Sui was hopeless, and directly rebelled, under the banner of "abolishing the emperor and establishing the king (Yang Zhao's third son), raising the righteous soldiers to take the county and change the banner to show the Turks".

That's right, this kid was supported by the Turkic Shibi Khan, who sent the general Ashina Danai to lead his troops to help.

Shibi Khan was the eldest son of Qimin Khan.

Yang Ming made a special instruction in his letter to Li Jing: Pujin Pass should be a heavy garrison.

His current family property is extremely rich, and two-thirds of it is sent to the Hedong Palace, and one-third is left in Daxing.

Yang Ming knew that he would be back soon, so there was no need to take all the money away.

Renshou three years, April.

Yang Ming set off to return to Jingzhou, and after meeting Dugu Feng'er in Shangluo County, he still took the same road as he did back then, and arrived in Jiangling a month and a half later.

Yang Qing was appointed as the governor of the palace Jin Cao, in charge of currency, salt and iron affairs.

Yang He was appointed as a soldier, in charge of military equipment, weapons, and defense.

The rank is not high, but the power is great.

Yang Ming also knew that these two people had never participated in government affairs, and it was definitely not easy to get started, but Yang Ming was patient.

I'm not afraid that you will stab Lou Zi, but I am afraid that you will be unreliable.

On the third day of his return, Yang Ming held a meeting in the front office of the Governor's Mansion, and all the subordinate officials of the Governor's Mansion were there.

Yuan Wendu took the initiative to say, "My brother is still on the way, and it will take about half a month to reach Jiangxia."

His younger brother Yuan Chongzai, recommended by Yang Ming, made up for the vacancy after Xuangan left office, and served as the assassin of Ezhou, and is now on his way to office.

Yang Ming nodded, and next, introduced Yang Qing, Yang and the brothers to everyone.

Yuan Wendu and the others hurriedly got up to salute.

Even if they are concubines, they are several levels higher than them.

"If there is something that doesn't work in the future, the two brothers still need to ask Yuan Changshi for advice," Yang Ming said with a smile.

The two hurriedly agreed, and their attitudes were very modest.

Yang Qing and Yang He grew up living in the Jin Palace, and they were ignored and neglected, so their personalities were more easy-going, and they did not have the arrogance of the prince's son.

Then, it was Yuan Wendu, Pang Niu, Pei Xizai, Du Ruhui and others to report on their work.

First of all, the problem of water bandits, Yang Ming's departure, directly for more than half a year, the problem of water bandits is becoming more and more severe, forced by pressure from many parties, Yuan Wen wrote a letter to Yang Ming last year, hoping to send troops to suppress the bandits.

And Yang Ming's reply was not sent to Jiangling until the approval document confirming the appropriation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs came down.

As long as the approval is in hand, you can

Bandits.

However, the Ministry of Civil Affairs allocated only 640,000 yuan this time, and Yang Ming reported 1.15 million yuan, which basically gave him a knife.

Don't think that as long as Yang Ming can cut the budget, those people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs will eat this bowl of rice, and they will cut it even harder.

More money and less money is no longer a problem, because the above agreed to rebuild the Xiangyang Water Army, so how to build it, the initiative lies with Yang Ming.

When he passed by Xiangyang County, he had already sent someone to call Zhou Zhongmou, and now he was in the hall, and Yang Ming had already handed over the process drawings of Yang Su's box of five-tooth ships to the other party.

Yang Ming said directly: "There are three Wuya, which are undermaintained, so we must make them able to cross the river as soon as possible, and add three more Wuya, and a number of attached ships, this king wants an invincible sailor who can suppress the Jingzhou waterway."

The Jingzhou waterway, covering the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, is more than 2,000 miles long, and there are hundreds of counties on both sides of the river.

Zhou Zhongmou, who had already discussed the development of the navy with Yang Ming, naturally knew what to do, but the money was not enough?

Yang Ming also knew that the money was not enough, so he said, "Let's start construction first."

The total cost of such a fleet should exceed three million, but there is no need to rush too much.

Because ships are not so easy to build, it will take at least two or three years before this naval army can have real combat effectiveness.

This year, the Ministry of Civil Affairs allocated 640,000 yuan, which is enough to start construction.

The next thing to discuss is about the inventory of acres.

Pang Niu seemed to have realized that he would be trained, so he kept his head hanging since he entered the lobby.

According to Pei Xizai, the school guards were in the place, and there were a lot of lives, and there were a lot of wrongs, and in the more than half a year that Yang Ming left, Pei Xizai killed dozens of school guards.

This gang was originally formed by the local ruffians and hooligans, so it was difficult to manage, and Pang Niu's grandson was unfavorable, so that the inspection guard in one place actually used the right in his hand to get thousands of acres of fertile land under his name.

Yang Ming knew from the beginning that these people were not easy to manage, but he didn't expect Pang Niu to manage them so badly, but fortunately, Pei Xi took thunderous measures and arrested a few strict measures to suppress this momentum a little.

Du Ruhui's side is still effective, and he has found a lot of problematic acres, the number is extremely amazing, and when he said it in the hall, everyone was stunned.

Only Yuan Wendu, who knew the matter in advance, and Yang Ming, who knew it well, behaved very clearly.

Yang Ming noticed that Du Ruhui and Pei Xizai reacted the most to this kind of thing, and even directly scolded the original state and county magistrates for not doing personnel, and touted a granary of the world.

The granaries of the treasury are full, but the rice jars of the common people are empty.

scolded and scolded, but the two of them also knew that this matter could not be poked out, at least not by them Jingzhou first.

Yang Ming was quite surprised that the children of the two families could have this kind of awareness, which was much stronger than Yuanwendu.

The reform of the fields and acres is not something that Yang Ming can change, and the current Jingzhou is just a stepping stone for him, an experimental field, and only by understanding the disadvantages more clearly can he think of a good reform strategy in the future.

And this reform cannot be done by people from wealthy families, because it is to reform them.

It's a pity that the scientific expedition of the Great Sui has not been going well until now, and with the help of the scientific expedition, it is still a group of family members.

"The problematic acres that have been identified will be re-granted, and the rest of the things will still be done step by step, and as for the inspection of school guards, the number of people will be reduced."

Saying that, Yang Ming looked at Pang Niu and said, "You are my confidant, which I brought from Daxing, so don't let this king down a second time."

Pang Niu, who knew that he had escaped, hurriedly said, "It is a dereliction of duty, and the palace will be guilty."

"You can think of a punishment yourself," Yang Ming left the lobby after speaking.

After Yang Ming left, Pang Niumeng gritted his teeth, came to the front yard, went up, and called his subordinates:

"Twenty rods, exert your strength, don't open the skin of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will open the skin of your beating."

The two guards glanced at each other and hit them directly with their sticks.

Today's inner garden of the governor's mansion can be regarded as full, and there are 400 people in Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying's slaves alone.

Yang Yinjiang is a concubine, so all the slaves and servants are under her control, and Yang Ming is also relieved to let her take care of it.

Pei Shuying is soft-hearted and not suitable for this kind of thing.

At the beginning of May, Yang Ming received a letter from Pei Ju.

Yang Jian switched positions between him and Liu Shu, and now Liu Shu is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Pei Ju is the secretary of the Ministry of War.

After Pei Shuying read the letter, she didn't know why, only Yang Yinjiang noticed a hint of crisis, but she didn't say it clearly in front of others.

After Yang Ming went to bed in the evening, in the dead of night, Yang Yinjiang said with a solemn face:

"Liu Shu has a holiday with his grandfather, and the Supreme Arrangement may have a deep meaning."

Yang Ming comforted: "Don't worry, Yue Gong will deal with it."

"Ugh...... Pei Ju was transferred as soon as he was appointed as a ministry, which is too strange," Yang Yinjiang Bingxue was smart, and she had already guessed that her grandfather was being targeted.

"No matter who you recommend in the future, I'm afraid that Liu Shu will not be able to pass the pass, and this person has a lot to do with the abolished prince Yang Yong,"

Yang Ming said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's not the official family that has the final say in recommending candidates, there is also a father above."

"That's true," Yang Yinjiang smiled and lay down in Yang Ming's arms, "We have to wait until the eldest brother has a son before we can prepare, but the sister-in-law always stays in Luoyang, how long will we wait?"

Yang Ming said, "The eldest brother should already have the idea of divorce his wife."

"Huh?" Yang Yinjiang's face was pale, and she sat up reluctantly: "When is it?"

In her opinion, divorce is a very terrible thing, especially since the prince's divorce is equivalent to deposing.

Ordinary people divorce their wives, no matter what the reason, it is difficult for the divorced woman to remarry, if it is a prince, it is not a problem of difficult marriage, but it is likely to be punished.

The prince must have a defensible reason for divorce from his wife, and without such a reason, the Supreme will not agree, and the crown prince will not agree.

But Yang Yinjiang knew that Princess Cui of Jin had no children, which was the best reason.

So she was very scared, afraid that she would not be able to give birth to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming sighed and said, "It was the eldest sister who told me, the eldest brother has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to tell his father, the princess and the princess, that his marriage was originally set by his grandmother, and now that his grandmother has passed away, it won't be long before the Cui family will be abolished."

Yang Yinjiang shook her head sadly: "The husband and wife don't live together and live in different places, how can they have children?"

She doesn't think it's Cui's physical problem, but the relationship between husband and wife.

In fact, she didn't want to see this kind of thing happen, because she was too close to them, it was Yang Ming's eldest brother, once this precedent was opened, would Yang Ming do the same in the future?

He was originally four years older than him, and women age quickly, and there will always be someone who is old one day, and if he does not have a deep enough emotional foundation, he is likely to suffer a cold reception in the future.

The best way, of course, is to have children as soon as possible, and it is a boy, the more the better, and the mother is more expensive than the child.

It's a pity that there is no movement on Yang Zhao's side, and they can't have children.

Yang Yinjiang was very distressed, and this incident had completely covered her worries about her grandfather Yang Su.

"If we conceive a child now, how will our father, the princess, and the princess blame us?" Yang Yinjiang asked.

Yang Ming smiled, "Are you so anxious?"

Yang Yinjiang couldn't help but twist Yang Ming's waist, and almost cried urgently: "Giving birth to children is the top priority in a woman's life, can you still laugh?"

Yang Ming sat up and comforted her, "Wait, it should be this year's thing, are you in a hurry?" My father and mother are even more anxious, but they still don't have grandchildren."

This sentence has a great effect on appeasing, Yang Yinjiang obviously agrees with it, Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, is nineteen years old this year, but he does not have a son and a half daughter, not to mention that the prince is in a hurry, but I am afraid that the supreme is in a hurry.

Thinking about this, she let out a long sigh of relief, got into Yang Ming's arms, and said coquettishly:

"Leave your first child to me, okay?"

It's actually the same for whoever is handed over, after all, only Yang Yinjiang is born.

Pei Shuying was willing to be a side, which made Yang Ming feel a little guilty, if someone has such a background, if he doesn't have true feelings for himself, how can he be willing to give in?

"I don't want to see a rift between you and Ah Yun," Yang Ming said.

Yang Yinjiang nodded obediently: "I know her grievances, I feel sorry for her before it's too late, don't worry, I know she's straightforward, but I won't care."

Next, the two newlyweds in the prime of their youth began to get down to business.

As Uncle Xiao Yu said, you should live up to your time.
