Chapter 178: Get Close to the Buddha
The first time Yang Ming participated in the court meeting, he tried his best to disagree with the public, and forcibly promoted the fourth-class honor of the eldest grandson to the first class.
Such a scene surprised everyone, in fact, most people thought that Yang Ming must have been an observer in the early stage and would not participate in major events, but in fact, Yang Ming gave them a head start.
Obviously, Yang Ming's over-initiative shows that he has an urgent competition for power in the center, which makes many people feel uncomfortable.
Prestige is the embodiment of power, and in order to gain prestige, you need to constantly fight for the right to speak in the center of the court.
Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, and Yang Ming, the king of Hedong, are both brothers born by the same mother, but the contrast is huge.
After the meeting, except for a limited number of people who were left behind, the others dispersed and returned to their respective homes.
Yang Gongren took the initiative to come over and leave the palace with Yang Ming.
"General Zuo Lingling, is Your Highness satisfied?"
He came to invite merit, and at the court meeting, Yang Gongren noticed that Yang Ming had the intention of protecting Changsun Cheng, so in the end, when he agreed on the actual position, he pushed out the fat difference of the general of the left leading army.
The central post, that is, the three provinces, six ministries and eleven temples, the eldest grandson Cheng can't get in, so the real power post in the military system is already a very good reward.
Yang Ming showed a grateful look and said with a smile, "Yang Shilang is righteous."
This is the benefit of connections, if Yang Ming is not a private friend of Yang Gongren, people will not help him with this.
Of course, this is also due to the absence of Liu Shu, the secretary of the ministry, otherwise, Liu Shu will inevitably make a stumbling block.
The two went out of the palace together, chatted a lot on the way, Yang Ming deliberately put down his body and made friends with each other's peers, which made Yang Gongren quite happy.
His father is idle at home, and he urgently needs to find political allies in the DPRK, otherwise he will not be able to stand on his own.
Out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, Yang Ming personally sent the other party to board the carriage, and it was not until the carriage drove away that he turned around and instructed Chen Kui:
"Go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion."
During the court meeting, Yang Ming went out to pee, and Pei Ju also used the excuse of going to the toilet to tell Yang Lihua about Yang Lihua's secret meeting with Yang Shuang in the thatched house.
He hoped that Yang Ming could maintain a good relationship with the eldest princess Yang Lihua.
In fact, there is no need to be reminded by Pei Ju of this, since the death of Dugu, Yang Ming now needs Yang Lihua's support very much, don't look at people who are idle at home every day, and their influence on the court is very important.
In fact, the princess of the Great Sui does not have much influence, and the reason why Yang Lihua is special is because the influence of others was established when she was the queen mother in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
If it weren't for being the queen and queen mother, she would not be much better than the other four princesses.
The basic plate of the Great Sui is basically inherited from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the founding dukes, county dukes, and county dukes, most of them are former ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, these people turned out to be Yang Lihua's courtiers, and after entering the Great Sui, they also continued to respect Yang Lihua.
After Yang Ming returned to Daxing, Yang Lihua went to his Hedong palace at least ten times, all of them to visit the princess Yang Yinjiang, and did not talk about anything else with Yang Ming in private.

And Yang Ming also had to be reminded by Pei Ju to know that the reason why he was able to return to Daxing was because of Yang Lihua's behind.
The governor of Jingzhou relies on others, and when he returns to Beijing to enter the center, he is still a family, which shows how powerful Yang Lihua is.
East Palace,
Yang Zhao, Pei Ju, Yu Wenshu, Guo Yan, Zhang Heng, Yang Xuangan and others were left by Yang Guang.
These people are all henchmen, and it was close to noon and they were left to have lunch in the East Palace.
It's still in the Qianqiu Palace, but after the court meeting dispersed, everyone became a lot more casual.
Yu Wenshu was pacing back and forth in the hall, moving his stiff old waist, while Yang Xuangan was immersed in eating, and he seemed to have a very good appetite.
Yang Guang looked at his eldest son, Yang Zhao, and asked, "Does your younger brother have a relationship with the eldest grandson's family?"
」
Yang Zhao shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, Brother Ming doesn't seem to know anyone from the eldest grandson's family."
"That's strange," Yang Guang frowned, "Looking at his performance today, it's as if Eldest Sun Cheng is his person, working so hard to get a throne?"
Yang Ming helped a stranger who had no intersection, not only Yang Guang wondered, but everyone wondered.
Because in Dasui, if there is no friendship, no one will speak for you, and the entire center, Niu Hong alone, is really recommending talents, this is where Yang Su respects Niu Hong.
This person is not for selfishness, only for the public, and the rest are almost all thinking about themselves, and there are still a group of children in their own clan who can't come up, how can they have the leisure to help outsiders fight.
Pei Ju said with a smile on the side: "I think that His Royal Highness really values the eldest grandson, but now that I think about it, it is not a bad idea for the old man to seek the country, and I wonder who else is qualified for this position besides the eldest grandson?"
Guo Yan frowned and said, "The eldest grandson can have today's achievements, thanks to the decisions of Gao Gong and Yue Gong, it is not his own strength, and today's forcible merit has already caused criticism."
"Indeed!" Yu Wenshu stopped and said, "If it weren't for the support of King Jin, Pei Gong and Niu Hong, His Royal Highness would be alone today."
Yang Zhao was not happy, and said in a deep voice: "Today is the first time that Brother Ming has participated in the court meeting, what suggestions does he have, you should fully support it, if it weren't for Gong Pei today, my brother would almost be lost by everyone, are you embarrassed to say?"
was counted down by Yang Zhao, Yuwenshu didn't dare to say anything, so he had to return to his seat in a huff.
Seeing this, Guo Yan hurriedly changed his tone and said:
"What King Jin said is reasonable, His Royal Highness's return to Beijing this time is tantamount to adding a big boost to us, if he has any opinions, we should give absolute support, even if it is unreasonable, it is also a discussion at the bottom, and we must not save his face at the court."
Yang Xuangan also stopped his speed, nodded in agreement, and said, "It's also my low official position, otherwise I will definitely speak for His Highness when I meet the court."
Low Nima's size, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, why are you not happy? Yang Guang was unhappy.
In fact, Yang Xuangan's sentence does not have any off-topic meaning, but if it falls into the ears of others, they will think that the other party is dissatisfied with the status quo and wants to go up again.
You rely on your father, do you dare to think about it?
Yang Guang snorted coldly and said, "What Yanwen (Guo Yan) said is reasonable, in the future, you should support Ming'er more, Changsun Cheng is still of great use, if he goes through this experience, he can know who is good for him, and it is also a good thing for us." ….
Pei Ju suddenly said, "When will the eldest grandson return to Beijing?"
Zhang Heng replied, "The day before yesterday has crossed the east of the river, and it should be today and tomorrow."
Pei Ju looked at Yang Guang and said, "Your Highness might as well send someone to greet him outside the city to show that the East Palace respects him."
"Just do what the world says," Yang Guang turned to Yang Zhao and said, "You will go to see your brother later, he brought him up, and this favor has to fall on his head."
"The child understands," Yang Zhao nodded in agreement.
......
Eldest Princess's Mansion,
After Yang Ming and Yang Lihua met, they didn't talk about any official business, and the topic between the aunt and nephew still revolved around Yang Yinjiang's stomach.
"Why do I think you, kid, don't respect Buddha very much?" Yang Lihua's most dissatisfied with Yang Ming is that he hardly goes to Daxingshan Temple.
The old Yang family has always respected Buddhism, and Yang Lihua will go to Daxingshan Temple to incense on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month, but she has never met Yang Ming.
Yang Ming has no interest in Buddhism and Taoism, and does not believe in Buddhism or Taoism.
But in the face of Yang Lihua's accusation, he still said obediently: "In the future, you should go to Daxingshan Temple a lot."
Yang Lihua thought that Yang Ming would find an excuse to excuse herself, but she didn't expect him to be honest and honestly admit it, which made her anger disappear suddenly.
"You child, it's not good that you grew up next to Ah Niang and are so estranged from my Buddha."
Yang Ming hurriedly said, "What my aunt taught me is that my nephew remembers.
」
Yang Lihua couldn't help but smile and said, "That's it, since you live in Jingshi now, on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month, when I go to enter the incense, I will call you."
"My nephew wants to attend the court meeting, so I'm afraid I can't go up," Yang Ming said.
Yang Lihua said: "Then go down, in short, you have to go, I'm here for your good."
It is indeed for Yang Ming's good, don't underestimate the influence of Buddhism, these people have no influence in the center, but they have influenced the people of the Great Sui.
The kings of the Chinese dynasties either worshiped the Buddha or the Tao, and they had to choose one anyway, so as to attract the huge number of believers of the two religions.
Yang Ming didn't put his mind on this before, but now that he was reminded by Yang Lihua, he really had to pay attention.
"The last time I went to your house, I deliberately compared Yin Jiang and Shuying's homework, which was very good, and the two of them were very familiar with Buddhist classics, which surprised me," Yang Lihua said.
You're so embarrassed to say that you went to visit a pregnant woman, and as a result, you came to other people's Buddhist scriptures.
Although it is said that familiarizing yourself with Buddhist classics is a compulsory course for the daughter-in-law of the old Yang family, you are an aunt, and your hand is too long.
Perhaps seeing that Yang Ming was absent-minded, Yang Lihua deliberately accentuated her tone and said:
"After my Great Sui destroyed Chen, just one year, Chen and the land were all against each other, and the war was everywhere, and the first thing your father Amand did when he became the governor of Yangzhou was to worship Master Zhiyi (yi) of Tiantai Sect as a teacher and receive the Bodhisattva vows, do you think that your grandfather is not as smart as you?"
"No, no, my nephew never thought of it that way," Yang Ming hurriedly said.
Yang Lihua sneered and continued:
"It turns out that Amour's move has achieved great results, Zhiyi has great influence in the south, and with him to gather the scattered hearts of people for your father, Amor was able to gain a lot of support and pacify the south in such a short period of time."
"So, there are still a lot of things you have to learn, at the moment you don't have the identity of a Buddhist disciple, you should immediately start the matter of apprenticeship, Master Zhaoxuantong Lingzang is the best candidate, I will help you talk about it, whether it can be done or not depends on the meaning of others."
Yang Ming knew that this move was of great significance, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "There is Aunt Lao, nephew, thank you Aunt for making it complete."
"Don't worry about thanking me first," Yang Lihua said, "Your eldest brother has not converted to Buddhism now, if I only plan for you, I am afraid of causing trouble, so I have to fight for Yang Zhao first, and then it will be your turn."
"My nephew understands that the eldest brother has to be close to the eldest brother first," Yang Ming said.
Yang Lihua sighed: "Zhao'er is really strange, last time I saw him riding a horse, he was panting, his body is really bad, I think he is too pampered, this is not good, you have to persuade him more."
Can I persuade me? Yang Ming nodded and said, "I must always persuade the eldest brother."
Yang Lihua also seemed to know that Yang Ming didn't have this ability, so she could only sigh and be helpless.
