Yang Ming was left behind to have lunch in the East Palace, Yu Gong, Yang Zhao had something to discuss with him, Yu Private, the brothers had not seen each other for half a year, so they naturally wanted to be more close.

During lunch, there were only three people, Yang Zhao and Yang Ming, which showed that it was a small family meeting.

After the crown princess learned about Su Kui, she also laughed and trembled, she was really happy, because Yang Mingken was so straightforward, which showed that his heart was still towards the prince.

"Why does Brother Ming want to help this Chen Shuda? Shangshu Province is not easy to enter," Crown Princess Wei Ying said with a smile.

Yang Ming said while eating: "Originally, when he was in Taichang Temple, he was still used to it, but as soon as Gao Gong left, he was very aggrieved there, so he complained to me, hoping that I could help him change it." ”

"Is it because of Concubine Chen?" Wei Ying asked.

Yang Ming nodded: "Chen Shuda is also a person with real talent and real learning, otherwise if Concubine Chen helps him speak, I am embarrassed to stuff people in Shangshu Province." ”

At this time, Yang Zhao nodded and said:

"The old Chen children, after all, are also from a noble stomach, when they were young, they read classics, and their heritage is actually much stronger than some families in Guanzhong, since the father intends to reuse the southerners, it is understandable to plug a few people with the younger brothers, just don't get used to them, I heard that the two ladies surnamed Chen have been very favored recently, A-Niang is already unhappy, let's be sons, we have to share worries for A-Niang, and if there is a chance in the future, we should warn them."

Yang Ming couldn't help but say: "What the eldest brother said, the two of them are the concubines of the emperor, how can we warn them?" ”

"You don't have to care, I'll do it," Yang Zhao said in a deep voice: "I have to let them know who in the harem has the final say, fortunately, they are still honest, if they dare to show off their power in front of A-Niang, I would have cleaned them up." ”

Either Yang Zhao is filial, in order to be angry with his mother, he dares to provoke Yang Guang's favorite concubine.

This is the eldest son, Yang Ming and Yang Jun don't have the courage.

"The matter of the canal, you can't let the second child mess around anymore, do you have any good solutions?" Yang Zhao asked.

At the same time, Wei Ying on the side also put down the fast son and waited for Yang Ming's next step.

After Yang Ming pondered for a moment, he frowned and said: "Hebei, Shandong, Jiangnan, in fact, the people have always been unstable, the second brother does this, in fact, it is easy to have an accident, 40,000 will die in two months, so how many will die on the day of completion?" ”

"Do you also think that the news that Jingshi has gone viral is true?" Wei Ying asked.

Yang Ming nodded: "Don't hide it from my sister-in-law, I actually have news here, it was sent by Yang Yue from the internal history, but I can't sell it, so I have never mentioned it to anyone." ”

Yang Ming knew in his heart that the boss was now at a critical moment to gradually dispel his suspicions about him, and at this time, it was best to say something to deepen Yang Zhao's trust in him.

In fact, when he said this, he didn't sell Yang Yue, didn't Yang Zhao know what Yang Yue had to do with him?

From Yang Yue's side, it can be inquired that Yang Yue's wife, Wei Shi, must be towards his own sister.

Sure enough, Wei Ying smiled with relief and looked at the prince: "The concubine has long said that King Qin is the most loyal to His Royal Highness. ”

Yang Zhao glared at her and said with a smile: "Do you need to say it?" The woman's view. ”

Wei Ying smiled sweetly and said no more.

"What did Yang Yue's letter say?" Yang Zhao asked.

Yang Ming said: "Probably means that the canal seems to be smooth, but in fact there are many internal contradictions, Yu Wenkai and the second brother often have disagreements, the relationship between the two is very stiff now, the reason why so many people died is because in the process of a water diversion, the second brother did not listen to Yu Wenkai's warning, and released the water in advance, resulting in many people downstream who were not evacuated to be drowned." ”

"The second brother is a layman, he originally supervised the construction of the canal to put up a name, and he really made his own decisions?" Yang Zhao was already angry.

Yang Ming said: "It's not to rush the construction period, he thinks that the diversion of water to impact the river can save a lot of effort, as for human life, he doesn't care at all, he doesn't want to think about it, the river that the water rushes out and the river dug out by people, can it be the same?" ”

】

"Dog thing!" Yang Zhao slapped the table and said angrily: "Does he think that I have been in peace for a long time, and I have to provoke some civil unrest?" ”

Wei Ying on the side was puzzled: "Why did you provoke civil unrest? There are a lot of people sent by the military government to supervise the work, who dares to take the lead in the chaos? I'm afraid that it will be suppressed at the first time. ”

"That's not necessarily," Yang Ming explained: "My sister-in-law doesn't know, the military guards who were sent to supervise the canal are also drawn from the local military government, and the locals can't do anything to the locals, and it's really going to be unstable, so it's hard to suppress it." ”

"That's the truth," Yang Zhao said with a solemn face: "Once the military government is also provoked, it will be even more troublesome, the second waste, just thinking about catering to his father, he doesn't use his brain at all." ”

Wei Ying frowned and said, "Then how can we stop him?" The father didn't seem to care. ”

"In my father's heart, what he pretends to be in the world, Kyushu and all directions, a corner of the world, sometimes it is inevitable to ignore it, but I can't let the old erhu continue."

Saying that, Yang Zhao continued: "I have to say hello to the eldest grandson Chi and ask him to find a way to delay the food supply, but he must be secretive, so as not to make my father unhappy when he knows about it." ”

Yang Ming frowned and said, "I'm afraid that once the food is in short supply, the second brother will probably think of other ways to collect grain, for example, forcibly requisitioning it locally." ”

"Does he have the guts?" Yang Zhao was stunned.

Yang Ming sighed: "I really can't say, the father of Tokyo Construction has been staring at me, he dares to break my elbow, what is the point of forcibly requisitioning grain?" ”

"Then change people, I'll ask my father to let you go and change him back," Yang Zhao blurted out in a hurry.

The crown princess was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly kicked her husband secretly in a few long strokes.

Yang Ming can't leave Beijing, this is the consensus of everyone in the East Palace from top to bottom.

Yang Zhao received the hint and knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't know how to come back for a while.

I saw Yang Ming shook his head: "Shuying is about to give birth, I don't want to leave Beijing, besides, I don't want to take over the mess left by my second brother, don't worry about 40,000 people dying at that time, count it on my head, I can't afford it." ”

"Yes...... It was the eldest brother who was negligent," Yang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Then you say, what should I do?" ”

Yang Ming said: "With such a high casualty, it is inevitable to supplement the people's strength, on the side of the eldest grandson, the eldest brother must arrange it, don't make it up to him, drag him first, and then the eldest brother will write a letter to him, the tone must be heavy, strictly order him not to mess around again, let him discuss with Yu Wenkai more about everything, he doesn't understand the project, but he always meddles in the project, what's going on?" ”

"I'm afraid that this rabbit cub won't even listen to me now," Yang Zhao said.

Yang Ming said solemnly: "No, he definitely doesn't have the courage, if he doesn't even listen to his eldest brother's words, then he won't come back." ”

Yang Zhao thought about it, no matter how bold the second child was, he would never dare to disobey him.

"Okay, I'll write today."

Next, Yang Zhao called the eldest grandson back again, and after the latter saw Yang Ming, he first smiled politely:

"There were a lot of people in the morning, and I haven't had time to thank His Highness for his recommendation."

Yang Ming smiled and waved his hand: "I recommend you, not because of you, but because the prince uses you easily." ”

Changsun Chi didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, nodded and sat down.

When Yang Zhao heard this, he said with a smile: "When Wei Shangshu was here, I explained the things to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and there was never a mistake, after Wei Shangshu died of illness, I was still worried that the next Shangshu would not be used to it, or Brother Ming was witty and knew what I needed for my eldest brother." ”

Although Wei Chong is Yang Yin's father-in-law, Jing Zhaowei and Donggong are also in-laws, and he naturally has to hug his thighs thicker, so he is more inclined to the prince, if the successor has nothing to do with Donggong, then Yang Zhao is destined to lose control of the Ministry, which is definitely not what he wants to see.

And Yang Ming's recommendation was just to say it in advance before Yang Guang, in fact, Yang Guang wanted to use the eldest grandson, and Yang Ming also took advantage of this to be a favor.

"The eldest brother is serious, the main thing is that the father is thinking about the eldest brother, otherwise so many people were recommended that day, why is it the eldest grandson?" Yang Ming said with a smile.

Yang Zhao naturally knows this truth, if the father doesn't nod, no one will be able to come up, and the third child took the initiative to resign this recommendation, in his opinion, it is very commendable.

"My father and queen mother don't like the second child, I miss my brother's love, and I have been helping him mediate, now that I think about it, it makes sense that my parents don't like him," Yang Zhao sighed and said, "Why did he become like this?" ”

"Don't talk about him anymore, let's discuss the matter," Wei Ying also looked disdainful when he mentioned the second child, after all, the second child fornicated with his wife and sister, and killed Wei Chong's father and daughter, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Wei family.

Next, the group began to discuss the matter.

.......

The next day, there was an unexpected situation.

Wailang Duyan, a member of the criminal department who had been recuperating from his injuries for half a year, sued Yang Jun at the court meeting, accusing him of abusing the people's power, privately diverting the water of the Yellow River, and managing people's lives.

Yang Guang was stunned at the time, defending day and night, but he didn't expect to be poked out by a person who had just returned to North Korea.

But everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor wanted to suppress this matter, so when Du Yan stabbed out, none of the Manchu officials stood up.

Du Yan was stunned, got up directly, pointed at the noses of Su Wei and others and scolded:

"You are a courtier in vain, and you turn a blind eye to the king's misdeeds, delay the country's major affairs, and be ashamed of the king's grace and the people."

"The dog of the He family, dare to roar filial piety here? Someone, drag them out and beat them to death," Yang Guang was furious.

Seeing this, Yang Ming hurriedly came out to protect the person: "Father Emperor Mingjian, although this person's words are inappropriate and rude, after all, he is just straightforward and ......fast-talking."

"Shut up!" Before he finished speaking, Yang Guang directly reprimanded:

"Did you instruct it? If not, who will give him the courage? ”

Why is this so special, how can I blame it? Yang Ming didn't dare to speak for a while.

In history, there were many emperors who listened to persuasion, and among the emperors who did not listen to persuasion, Yang Guangneng ranked in the top three.

Fortunately, no one helped Du Yan sue King Qi, but everyone unanimously came out to protect Du Yan, including Su Wei and Niu Hong, who were insulted by Du Yan.

After all, everyone knows in their hearts that Du Yan is straight, and he is right about things and not people.

With so many people helping to say good things, Yang Guang is not good at really killing people, but he can't escape from being dismissed, so Du Yan was demoted from a dignified outsider to a gatekeeper of the Jingshi Mingde Gate.

But it doesn't matter, Dasui is like this, as long as people live, they can still come up, it depends on how to operate.

Du Yan was exiled by Yang Jian before, didn't he come back like this?
