Renshou for three years, the third day of June.

Yang Jian convened hundreds of officials and held a court meeting in Renshou Palace.

The imperial historian Liang Bi (pi), and he played it again:

"Eavesdropping on the left servant, Yue Gong Yang Su, fortunately the heavier he encounters, the power is rising, and the gentry (those who have official positions or have been officials) belong to their audio-visual ....... If Your Majesty thinks that Su is Ah Heng, I am afraid that his heart may not be Yin Yin.....

Ah Heng is Yin Yin, Ah Heng is Yin Yin's honorific name, Ah is "lean", "Heng" is "maintain", together it means "the country's reliance", he is the founding father of the Shang Dynasty, the right Xiangguo.

What Liang Bi means by this sentence is that you regard Yang Su as the country's reliance, but Yang Su may not be a loyal and virtuous minister like Yin Yin.

The words are not heavy, but the deep meaning is very mean and vicious, which is the consistent urine nature of literati.

What was Yang Jian's reaction?

Furious! Make somebody's blood boil!

But not against Yang Su, but against Liang Bi.

At the court meeting, in front of everyone, he ordered the guards to whip Liang Bi several times, and questioned him:

"Slander the minister, and thou wilt be guilty?"

I don't know sin, I don't have sin, Liang Bi showed awe-inspiring righteousness, and continued to play:

"Su is not only good at power, but also powerful, where the generals are, there is no way to kill, and on the day when the prince and the king of Shu are abolished, all the officials are shocked, but Su raises his eyebrows and elbows, and he is happy to see his complexion, and he is fortunate to have something for the country."

He was talking about Yang Yong and Yang Xiu, which meant that Yang Su was very happy to see that something happened to them, and he also implied that Yang Su was looking forward to the country's accident every day, so that he could take advantage of it to take the position.

Yang Jian hesitated.

At this time, Liu Shu stood up again, saying that after taking office as the secretary of the ministry, he looked through the classics of officials from all sides and found that the bureaucrats in the world were half out of the Yue Mansion, and everyone only respected the Yue Gong, but did not know the Supreme Lord.

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to intercede for Yang Su.

And Yang Su also knew that he would have such a time sooner or later, so he behaved very calmly, saying that he recommended officials, but also for the Great Sui to employ people and select talents for the Supreme, absolutely without selfishness.

Of course Yang Jian will not blame him, after all, Yang Su has been with him for more than 20 years, and the affection of the monarch and the minister is still there, but Yang Su's current status is too high, and Yang Jian doesn't like it.

So he said, "The servant shoots and is the chief assistant of the country, and he cannot bow down to the details, but once on the third or fifth day, he went to the province to comment on major matters."

That is to say, you don't have to worry about trivial matters in the future, you can attend the court meeting every once in a while, and you can participate in major matters.

So, what's the trivial? Recommending officials must be counted.

At this level, Yang Jian knew that Yang Su would grasp it.

Yang Su accepted it calmly, he had long expected this day, and he would stay at home from then on.

The crown prince Yang Guang realized the crisis and planned to stumble Liu Shu, but was dissuaded by Pei Ju in time.

[In view of the general environment,

Yang Jian's last sentence also affected Su Wei, because Su Wei was Shangshu's right servant, so he was also wondering, should he also attend the court meeting every other day?

With doubts, Su Wei had just left Renshou Palace, and Liu Shu chased after him on horseback.

"Liang Bi is targeting, but Yang Su is alone, Pi Gong must not be too careful, the affairs of the court meeting still need to rely on you."

Su Wei is one of the four nobles in the early Sui Dynasty, who served as the prince Shaobao, the provincial Nayan of Menxia, the secretary of the Duzhi Shangshu, the Dali Siqing, the Jingzhao Yin, the imperial historian, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the secretary of the ministry.

The central yamen of the Great Sui, he has done half of it, and he has already seen Yang Jian through.

So it can naturally be seen that Liu Shu must have been ordered by the Supreme to keep him, otherwise the two servants would go home, and the government affairs would not be done?

.......

The crown prince Yang Guang is a smart person, and he knows that his two biggest helpers, A-Niang and Yang Su, are gone, so he must be cautious in the future.

So he deliberately bent down and visited He Ruobi and Shi Wansui, two military elders, hoping to get closer

Some relationships.

He is still very prescient, and he knows that he should have a good relationship with the military, so at this juncture, it is really not appropriate to agree to the request of the eldest son to abolish the concubine, because Yang Zhao's father-in-law, Cui Hongsheng, is still a hussar general.

However, he made Yuwen Chamin, the daughter of Yuwen Shu, a side concubine to Yang Zhao.

.......

Pine and fir are the best timber for military ships, but in fact, teak is the best choice.

It's a pity that there is no teak in Dasui, which is distributed in places like Myanmar and Thailand, and has not yet been introduced in Dasui, and it is not even known that teak is the best material for shipbuilding.

It wasn't until Zheng He went to the West in the Ming Dynasty that this thing was introduced to Yunnan, Guangxi, and Fujian, because it is a tropical tree species.

As the most critical port in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Badong County (Fengjie County, Chongqing) has become the largest timber distribution center of the Yangtze River waterway.

Timber has always been able to be transported by water, and it takes a lot of effort to transport it by land.

Yang Su built the Wuya Ship back then, and it was in Padang County.

Therefore, Zhou Zhongmou took the approval of the governor's office, called the ship of the Metropolitan Water Administration, and sent his henchmen to Padang County to buy wood.

Yang He, as the soldier of the governor's office, also participated in it, he didn't understand a lot of things, but fortunately, he was willing to learn by heart, although it seemed to be in a hurry, but the matter was handled quite properly.

Just as Xiao Maha was used by Yang Ming to balance Li Jing, he would not let Zhou Zhongmu lead the affairs of the navy alone, so he must arrange a suitable person as an assistant.

In the evening of that day, Yang Ming specially sent someone to invite the Shen family.

As soon as Shen entered the inner garden, he was warmly held by Yang Yinjiang's arm: "Your Highness has been waiting for the lady for a long time, come with me."

In fact, the Shen family didn't know who Yang Yinjiang was at first, so they didn't know how to call him, but judging from the other party's appearance and temperament, most of them were the rumored granddaughters of the Duke of Yue and the concubines of the King of Hedong.

The end is extravagant and compelling, and the posture is unparalleled.

After Yang Ming became the governor of Jingzhou, he appointed Shen Lun, the brother-in-law of the head of the Shen family, as the governor of Jiangxia County, and the scientific examination quota of Jiangxia County in the second year also reported the three children of the Shen family.

The Great Sui scientific expedition is reported by the governors of each prefecture and county at the beginning of each year, and then in May, these scholars will be recruited to Beijing for interviews.

Fang Xuanling once broke through Yang Jian.

At present, there are only two subjects in Dasui, Xiucai and Xiaolian, and the examination methods are divided into three categories: oral examination, policy examination, and test essay.

After the examination, each subject is divided into two grades, A and B, and after admission, the official position is awarded according to the grade.

The oral examination is the first post, and then the oral examination, and the post is a unified question, depending on who answers well.

The test is a temporary question, which is mostly related to current affairs, so that candidates can explain their countermeasures.

In fact, it is a propositional essay, which includes Zhen (exhortation), Ming (self-encouragement and self-warning), Praise (praise of merit), Fu (recitation of chant), Treatise (comment and analysis), Ode (praise and blessing), Oath (binding oath) and other genres.

Because it's so miscellaneous, it's called an essay.

Yang Ming's "Ming" word means self-encouragement, self-vigilance, self-encouragement and self-discipline, which is not taken casually.

If you want to pass these three levels, you must read more books, not only by rote memorization, but also by knowing the idea of the article.

Back then, Yang Ming once gave Shen a lot of books for her to copy for the children in the family to study.

The content of the Great Sui scientific examination is basically from those books, and Yang Ming quietly opened a back door for them.

But it's a pity that a merchant family is a merchant family after all, and he can memorize it, but he doesn't understand what it means.

Of the three Shen disciples recommended by Yang Ming, only one won a second class, which was barely a good one.

After thinking about it, the officials planned to let that kid go to the land of Nanban to be a county master with no grade, but he was suppressed by Yang Ming, and took Yang Gongren's way to get it for this kid

is a soldier of Xiangyang County, a sesame petty official of the ninth grade.

Yang Gongren, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, is the eldest son of Yang Xiong, the king of Guangping, and Yang Xiong calls Yang Jian the patriarch, that is, the grandson of Yang Xiong's great-grandfather and brother, so they are from Yang Ming's own family.

The family is easy to talk to, and arranging a sesame petty official is a matter of raising your hand.

After Shen sat down, he was ashamed, only one of the three children in the family last year barely reached the first, and he still dragged Yang Ming's blessing to serve in Xiangyang, and this year, Yang Ming still gave them three places in Jiangling County, which made her a little embarrassed and felt negative Yang Ming's cultivation.

Especially the princess's grandeur and graciousness, which made her even more ashamed.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Shenqu is still good, being able to pass the second grade, it is obviously hard work, there is no end to learning the sea, it is not easy to achieve it overnight, take your time."

Shen Shi said with a look of shame: "Your Highness has been promoted, or we are not angry, and we will embarrass you."

"What the lady said," Yang Yinjiang sat beside her, and said with a smile: "No one can lose His Highness's people, His Highness has given you fish, whether you can get fish or not, it is only up to you, if you want to say shame, it is also your own people."

Although she said this with a smile, Shen was shrewd, and immediately heard that the other party was reminding her of her speech, and hurriedly got up to ask for guilt:

"It's the concubine who said the wrong thing, and I hope for His Royal Highness and Princess Haihan."

Yang Yinjiang smiled and waved his hand: "There is no need to panic, you must know that His Royal Highness can let you enter the inner garden, since he does not treat you as an outsider, since he is not an outsider, there is no need to be so restrained."

Shen was terrified, the words spoken by the princess were like knives, seemingly close, but in fact they were quite warn.

At this time, Yang Ming smiled and said: "This king arranged for Shen Qu to serve as a soldier in Xiangyang County, but in fact, he wants him to go to Xiangyang Navy to supervise the construction of ships.

The Shen clan hurriedly nodded: "Back to Your Highness, our Shen family started with Caoyun, and many of the disciples in the clan are experts in boating, and they know the nature of boats, so they naturally know how to build crafts."

The boat master does not refer to an expert who can row with wood pulp, but a boat boss who is familiar with the water nature of the Yangtze River, good at driving, proficient in management, and understands waterway shipping.

Yang Ming smiled: "Shen Qu is also eighteen years old this year, why hasn't he gotten married yet?"

Shen said: "I once had a wife who died in childbirth."

"So that's the case, it's a pity......" Yang Yinjiang looked at Yang Ming with regret: "The husband should seek a family affair for him."

Yang Ming frowned and said, "There is no suitable candidate."

"Yes," Yang Yinjiang smiled sweetly, looked at Shen and said:

"There is a beautiful woman in the palace, from Jiangnan, she was originally a young lady from a large family, but unfortunately her family was unfortunate and fell into the palace.

Shen was sensible, and hurriedly got up to thank him.

She herself, a maid in the palace of King Yang Jun of Qin, was rewarded to Shen Xing, the head of the family at the time, as a concubine, and was later supported as a wife.

Why did you become a concubine in the first place? Because she has been enjoyed by Yang Jun, she is not a complete body, and she can't make a main house for others.

Yang Ming did this, of course, he had the intention of monitoring Shen Qu, after all, he didn't know this person at all, and he hadn't even seen it.

"A happy event, a drink,"

Yang Ming picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised it towards the Shen clan, and then drank it.

When Shen left, Yang Yinjiang came to Yang Ming's side and said, "The five beauties that the second brother gave you, which one do you think is appropriate?"

Yang Ming said indifferently: "You can decide it yourself, you can do anything, but you have to train it well."

"I thought there would be one of the five of them you liked?" Yang Yinjiang deliberately teased.

Yang Ming smiled and didn't answer her.

There is no doubt that the five Jiangnan women are all rare and stunning, small jasper, beautiful and delicious, it can be seen that Yang Yin has a vision.

To be precise, it is Tanhualang Zhang Xiaobao who has vision.

Yang Ming was not moved when he saw it, which made Yang Yinjiang very happy.

In fact, in the Great Sui,

Especially the princes and princesses, the wives rarely care about their husbands, because they can't control it.

This is a patriarchal society, women's status is too low, and those with bad backgrounds need to rely on men to survive, so how husbands play outside, they generally don't care.

Qin Wangjun is an exception, even a typical example, he was actually poisoned by his wife because of jealousy, you can see how much he played.

When Yang Yinjiang got married, she also brought two concubines, not Yang Xuangan's daughter, but Yang Xuanzong's concubine, like this kind of concubine, Yang Yinjiang wished that Yang Ming would enjoy them as soon as possible.

But other women, Yang Yinjiang is not happy, except for Pei Shuying and Chen Shuyi.

She has something to do tonight, so Yang Ming will sleep with Pei Shuying.

In the dormitory, a maid named Yin Fuzi was brought to Yang Yinjiang, she was one of the five daughters given to Yang Ming by Yang Yin, Xiuning County, Xin'an County, Jiangnan (Xiuning County, Huangshan City), her father had made a county order, and the offended person died in exile, and all the daughters in the family were reduced to ***.

Because she was good-looking, she was bought by a businessman who lived in strange goods, and after several transfers, she fell into the hands of Yang Jun, and she is still complete.

A woman like Yin Fuzi is actually a kind of goods, or a gift, and she has been trained by the buyer since she was a child, in order to give it to others in the future, so as to achieve a certain purpose.

Because she is the daughter of a criminal minister, she is a lowly person, and she cannot be married, but can only become the plaything of others.

It is a very troublesome thing to get out of the lowly status, but Yang Yinjiang has already dealt with it here, changed her to a good name, and gave her the name Yin Funu.

"This palace has already arranged for you, in addition to changing to a good name, I also found you a family business, and you can also marry and have children like other women in the future."

This is undoubtedly a great favor for a lowly woman, because from now on, she can live like a normal person.

Yin Funu cried bitterly, knelt in front of Yang Yinjiang, and kept kowtowing.

"Get up,"

Yang Yinjiang said: "You marry out of the palace, then this is half of your mother's family, you have been bullied, or you have been wronged by anyone, just come to this palace, and this palace will make decisions for you."

Yin Funu was grateful and said, "The princess has the grace of regeneration for slaves and maids, and there is no way to repay her as a cow or a horse."

"Silly girl, this palace doesn't need you to reciprocate, just teach your husband and children in the future,"

Saying that, Yang Yinjiang told the origin of Shen Qu, and when Yin Funu knew that her future husband was still a child of a family with an official status, she was even more overjoyed.

"Come, take off your clothes and let this palace see your body," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile.

Undressing, for Yin Funu, is not a shameful thing, she has taken off too many times, and many men have seen her body.

After a while, she stood in the center of the dormitory without a thread, and Yang Yinjiang stretched out her fingers and wiped them back and forth on her, turning around and around.

Afterwards, she asked the maid beside her to verify her identity to see if the other party was indeed complete.

"Yes, very smooth body, skin is also very good, it's really heavenly, even the palace is a little envious,"

Yin Funu hurriedly said, "Compared with the princess, the slave and the maid are like fireflies to the bright moon."

Yang Yinjiang smiled and motioned for her to put on her clothes: "Women are the first thing to be chaste, remember, from today onwards, no one is allowed to take off your clothes except your husband, otherwise, you will jump into the well and die."

"A slave or maid would rather die than keep her chastity," Yin Funu knelt down again and thanked the great grace.

.......

On the day of the wedding of Shen Qu and Yin Funu, the couple bowed three times in the direction of the governor's mansion.

Now the whole Jiangling knows that the Shen family has embraced the big tree of the king of Hedong, and there is an endless stream of people who come to congratulate them, and even the county guard Murong Sanzang has gone.

The first thing Yuan Chongzai did when he came to Jingzhou was to meet Yang Ming, and afterwards he took office and served as the assassin of Ezhou.

Yang Ming knew in his heart that he didn't have much time to train his subordinates, and most of these people would treat him at the moment

As nobles for life, as long as they don't have an accident, they will not change their court.

At the beginning of June, Pei Ju sent a letter.

The letter said that about in March last year, a new subordinate was hired in the Yue Gong Mansion, who was a ***, and the reason why Pei Ju was eyeing this person was because he found out that the other party had been a groom in Hulu Xiaoqing's mansion, and this person's accent was mixed with a hint of Xiangzhou accent.

Xiangzhou is also the area of Yecheng, Yecheng is the capital of the old Qi, the west of Handan in later generations, and the area north of Anyang.

Because of the rebellion of the governor of Xiangzhou, Yang Jian burned Yecheng to ruins in the first year of the emperor's reign, and most of the people in the city migrated south to Anyang County.

The accent in this area is very recognizable, especially Pei Ju is easier to recognize.

Who is there in Yang Su's mansion, he can know? Yang Ming was dumbfounded, his father-in-law is really special, how dare you install an informant in Yang Su's mansion?

And Hu Lu Xiaoqing's mansion, there are also your people?

You are the inner history order, not the factory father.
