Chapter 177: The eldest grandson discusses merit
Yang Ming got up when he was in Yin, changed his clothes under Pei Shuying's service, and in addition to wearing his court dress embroidered with a golden dragon, he also wore a filial piety dress.
His filial piety clothes have been changed from chopping to Qi decay, and he is the grandson of Dugu Jialuo, so it will take another two years to take it off.
After packing up everything, Pei Shuying sent her husband out of the mansion, and Chen Kui drove to Daxing Palace.
Because of Yang Jian's presence in Renshou Palace, today's court meeting is held in the East Palace, presided over by the crown prince Yang Guang.
Except for the officials who were ordered to go to Inshou Palace, everyone else had to attend the court meeting here.
In the Qianqiu Palace, Yang Guang, who has always been diligent in government, has already sat on the main seat, waiting for the courtiers.
In history, Yang Guang was labeled as a tyrant and a faint king, but in fact, he was a king who was almost harsh on himself and particularly diligent.
He has to personally inquire about all matters in the world, and he will look at all the trivial matters one by one.
In the main hall, Yang Guang's left hand position is Su Wei, Niu Hong, Pei Ju, Wei Chong, Xue Gao, Yu Wenkai, sitting behind them, there are various squires, such as Yang Gongren, Gao Xiaoji, Yang Xuangan, etc.
The right-hand position is Yang Zhao, He Ruobi, Yu Wenshu, Yang Ming, Xue Daoheng, Wei Fusi,
Behind them, there are Yang Da, Zhao Xuan, Guo Yan, Zhang Heng, Pei Yun and others.
There were 31 people attending the court meeting today, and all of them were sitting on a futon, and there was a long table in front of them, and the long table was full of various files.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yang Guang looked at his son Yang Ming with a smile:
"Today is the first time that the king of Hedong has participated in the court meeting, and because he is not familiar with government affairs, it is appropriate to observe."
Yang Ming hurriedly got up and waved his hand at everyone.
Pei Ju said with a smile: "Your Highness is now an adult, and it is time to participate in state affairs early to share the prince's worries." ”
Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, also smiled: "My brother is still immature, and he still needs more guidance from you." ”
Yang Ming's position is exquisite, he is the king of the county, from the first product, the province under the door, the second product, the right leading general, from the second product.
With the highest from the first grade, he should sit below Yang Zhao and above He Ruobi Yu's text.
But He Ruobi and Yu Wenshu are old ministers, and their qualifications are there, so Yang Guang deliberately put Yang Ming under the two in order to show respect for the two.
The subordinate province has the right to advise the emperor, but He Ruobi and Yu Wenshu do not have this qualification.
Today's court meeting is about Luoyang.
In fact, the construction of the eastern capital of Luoyang was already included in the plan during Yang Jian's period, but it was temporarily shelved as Yang Jian became seriously ill.
The reason for the construction of the eastern capital is mainly to alleviate the food pressure in the Guanzhong region.
Historically, Yang Guang urgently rebuilt Luoyang, and there was another factor, that is, the rebellion of Yang Liang, the king of Han.
Yang Liang sent troops from Hedong to take Guanzhong, which made Yang Guang feel that there was no other barrier east of Guanzhong except for the land east of Hedong to defend the Beijing Division, and if there were rebels in the Guandong region, it would pose a direct threat to the Beijing Division.
The Kanto here is not the Kanto of the Kanto, but refers to the area east of Hangu Pass, which can be understood as Henan.
Of course, now Yang Guang has not yet taken the position, and Yang Liang has not rebelled, so Yang Guang is not in a hurry to build the Eastern Capital.
This decision is very complicated and involves many factors, Yang Guang almost inherited Yang Jian's political intentions, and had the idea of abandoning the Guanzhong standard, which was an unprecedented blow to the Guanzhong gatekeeper.
Therefore, it is claimed that the construction of the eastern capital is because the population of the Guanzhong area has increased dramatically and the food supply is insufficient, so it is necessary to build the eastern capital as a hub for grain transshipment in the Guanzhong area.
Actually, very, very complicated.
Shangshu Yu Wenkai of the Ministry of Industry believes that the construction of the eastern capital is a huge project, and it will take at least four years, which is a full three years different from the completion of one year in history.
In Yu Wenkai's view, it will take a year to prepare for the preparation alone.
At this time, Yang Guang also agreed with this point of view, after all, he is only the prince at the moment, and if he says it, it doesn't matter, and the eagerness for quick success and quick profit cannot be reflected in him now.
Although the matter of building the eastern capital, everyone did not come up with a reason, but it has undoubtedly been put on the agenda, Yang Guang ordered Yu Wenkai to consider the preparations, and start construction a year later.
The next thing to discuss is the issue of Changsun Cheng.
The Qimin Khan has now successfully taken over the Bujia Khan's headquarters and become the new Eastern Turk Great Khan, and the eldest grandson Cheng has completed his historical mission and set off to return to Daxing.
Yang Guangdao: "The eldest grandson returns to the dynasty, in your opinion, how to reward it?" ”
The title of the eldest grandson is very shabby, because he is the second son and cannot attack his father's title, plus the eldest grandson is currently in the Great Sui Dynasty and has no flag-carrying figures.
But Yang Ming knows that what this person has done in his life is the work of founding the country, and it is not an exaggeration to be crowned a prince of the country.
Of course, Yang Jian will not be sealed, and Yang Guang will not be sealed, because the eldest grandson Cheng has no prestige, and he can't help such a person to come out.
】
If he really wants to make the eldest grandson a prince, he can't stand firmly in the center.
He Ruobi said: "The eldest grandson is meritorious, this time he is the envoy of surrender, helping Qimin to control the Turks, which is really a great achievement, and he can be crowned as a general." ”
The general is the fourth rank of the honor, the eldest grandson Cheng has done so much, He Ruobi thinks that it is okay to be a general, Yang Xuan feels that he has not done anything, but he is the first rank of the honor.
So, there's nothing fair about it.
No matter how much you do, you can't be as good as a good father.
Xue Gao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also spoke: "The subordinates believe that the eldest grandson has worked hard and made great achievements, and this person is not competent for the trouble in the north of the Great Sui, so he should be crowned a general." ”
The biological mother of the eldest grandson is from the Xue family in Hedong, and it is understandable for Xue Gao to help speak, but it is also quite shabby, so he was promoted.
Yang Ming also felt helpless when he listened, and the people who did practical things couldn't get along well in the end, and the ones who played tricks were better than the other.
"I want to ask you a question,"
At this time, Yang Ming finally stood up and spoke: "If there is no eldest grandson, what is the current situation of the Turks?" ”
When the ministers heard this, they thought about it one after another.
Since Yang Ming raised a question, it is natural that someone will answer, and all these people here are old foxes who have become elites, so they will naturally think of a proper answer, and they can't just open their mouths.
Niu Hong thought for a moment and said, "If there is no eldest grandson, there will be many wars in the north. ”
In fact, the Great Sui's troubles against the northern Turks all developed from Changsun Cheng's sentence "distant friendship and close attack, separation from the strong and weak", to put it bluntly, it is to sow discord within the Turks.
Although most of the time, Yang Jian, Gao Gong, and Yang Su are the real decision-makers, but as the specific implementers, the eldest grandson Cheng can no longer do a good job.
If it weren't for the eldest grandson, if it were someone else, there might not have been such a good result.
Although the Great Sui and the Turks were at war for many years, none of them could really threaten the Great Sui Guoben, which was inseparable from the credit of Changsun Cheng.
Moreover, the eldest grandson Cheng dealt with the Turkic royal family all the year round, and was quite respected and trusted by the Turks.
This person is very valuable in himself.
The right servant shot Su Wei and did not give an answer, but just asked: "What does the king of Hedong mean, how should he be rewarded?" ”
He guessed that the reason why Yang Ming said this was because he was dissatisfied with He Ruobi and Xue Gao's proposal, and thought that the seal was too small.
Yang Guang also looked at Yang Ming suspiciously, he knew that his son had nothing to do with the eldest grandson's family, so he was curious about how the third child could speak for the eldest grandson Cheng in a dignified manner.
Yang Ming looked at Su Wei and said with a smile: "As Niu Shangshu said, if there is no eldest grandson, the Turkic border tribulation will be eliminated, and the people of my Great Sui Frontier will inevitably be disturbed, and it is not good for the country. ”
His words made He Ruobi a little unhappy, he went south to destroy Chen, the founding of the country, is the Shangzhu country, the eldest grandson Cheng just relied on the three-inch incorruptible tongue to appease the Turks with gentle means, how can it be so big?
He didn't think that Yang Xuan was big, but he thought that the eldest grandson was big, which was the difference in concepts.
It's like he thinks that his son can attack his Duke of Song in the future, it's just right.
Yang Guang also felt that what his son said was too exaggerated, the eldest grandson became just a minister, and to put it bluntly, he was an envoy sent by the Great Sui to communicate with the Turks, and it was too outrageous to seal the Pillar State.
Although Pei Ju couldn't understand what medicine was sold in Yang Ming's gourd, Yang Ming was his son-in-law, and it was the first time he participated in the court meeting, so if he didn't help his son-in-law speak at this time, who else could he help?
So he said: "I agree with what His Highness said, the eldest grandson is very familiar with foreign affairs, and he is friendly with the Turkic Qimin, and he will still be of great use in the future, and if his status is too low, it will make the Turks think that he is despised by my Great Sui, and the ambassadors of the two countries, the lords should not be too low." ”
This sentence, on the contrary, made Yang Guang quite agree, the Turks cannot be destroyed, only by means to force them to submit, by force, the consumption of national strength is too large, inappropriate, Huairou means should be the best.
As the envoy between the Great Sui and the Turks, if the lord is too low, it is equivalent to not giving the Turks face, and in the long run, he is afraid that the Turks will regenerate their dissenting hearts.
So Yang Guang looked at Yang Ming with a smile:
"In your opinion, the eldest grandson will return to Beijing this time, and he will take any position?"
I don't know, I went to court on the first day today, how do I know where there is a gap?
Yang Ming said: "This needs to be discussed by the princes, and if you take the title, the child thinks it is appropriate to go to the pillar country." ”
Yang Guang smiled and nodded, in fact, he could only suggest that the real one had to be Yang Jian in the end.
However, under normal circumstances, as long as he passes on his side, Yang Jian's side is also a matter of stamping.
Yang Ming can only try his best to get a good title for the eldest grandson, as for the title, he doesn't have this ability, and the title is not something that can be sealed casually.
Most of the current titles of the Great Sui were inherited from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and most of the rest came from the Battle of Chen, and at other times, Yang Jian did not have many titles.
Because the eldest grandson is the second son in the family, he can't attack his father's lord.
In the end, with the support of Pei Ju and Niu Hong, the eldest grandson became the commander of the Zhuguo, and he should not have run away.
Pei Yun, the waiter of the internal history, was responsible for drafting the recital and reporting it to Renshou Palace, as long as Yang Jian's big seal was stamped, the matter would be conclusive.
As for the return of the eldest grandson Cheng to Daxing, Yang Gongren, the official department, after sorting out the vacancies of the official position, was designated as the general of the left leading army.
The general of the left leading army is Shi Wansui, so after the eldest grandson becomes Cheng, he will be under the management of Shi Wansui.
