As for the reform of local administration, it is complicated, and the three-level system of prefecture, county, and county has been changed to a two-tier system of counties and counties, so what the original state should change to what county name it is, which will require a lot of effort.

In other words, there will be no position of state assassin in the future, and all of them will be county guards.

Yang Ming has been busy these days, and restructuring this kind of thing sounds simple, but it is very complicated to do.

For example, if a state is changed to a county, do you have to change all your original documents and seals, and do you have to change the entire set of yamen? Transactions are very cumbersome and messy.

The three-level change to two-level is also for the purpose of centralizing imperial power and facilitating the management of the locality, while the state level, in fact, has been deliberately expanding the scope of its jurisdiction since the Yang Jian period, and now it is a matter of course, and there will be no resistance.

When Yang Guang left Luoyang, Yang Jun stayed, was awarded the Tokyo garrison, and the two sons were each in charge of one, and Yang Guang himself went down to the south of the Yangtze River in a dashing manner.

The Tongji Canal has been opened, and Yang Yue was awarded the right Guanglu doctor, that is, the fourth class in the honor.

On July 15, it was the time for the Great Sui to worship the ancestral temple, but Yang Guang went to the south and couldn't come back, so this task was handed over to Yang Yue, and Yang Yue sacrificed on his behalf.

In fact, July 15 is also the day when all the people of the Great Sui worship their ancestors, Taoism calls it the Zhongyuan Festival, and Buddhism calls it the Bon Festival.

In Dasui, it is called the Ancestor Worship Festival in July.

Worship ancestors, that must be in Daxing, Luoyang can't sacrifice the ancestors of the Yang family.

So at the beginning of July, Yang Yue came back, but on the way back, he did something and was sued by the people of Yushitai to Yang Ming.

Either the people from Yushitai are a group of small reports, and the key is that Yang Ming can't take care of it, because these people are the emperor's spies, and they are not as exaggerated as the East Factory and the West Factory, but the nature is almost the same.

When passing by Huayin, Yang Yue went to cry for Yang Su's grave, and then Yu Shitai told him that he did not sacrifice His Majesty's ancestors first, but went to worship their ancestors first, which is not distinguishing between respect and inferiority.

Actually, isn't this a very common thing? Passing by my ancestral grave, it was in the middle of the Yuan, what happened to the memorial?

Yang Yue also poured blood mold, and those bastards in Yushitai also stabbed the matter to Yang Guang.

Now Yang is in a hurry,

"With my understanding of Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of the sin this time,"

Qin Wangfu, when Yang Yue, who was full of joy, learned the news from Yang Ming's mouth, he anxiously paced back and forth in the hall:

"These bastards with long tongues, they don't care if Lao Tzu worships his ancestors?"

With Yang Ming's understanding of his father, I'm afraid that Yang Yue really can't hide this time, Yushitai is not a fool, he doesn't sue everything, people dare to sue, there must be a defensible reason.

The emperor asked you to come to worship the ancestor of the Yang family, but you are not your Yang, you are now representing the emperor, but you go to cry for Yang Su's grave, what do you mean?

Yang Guang cried for Yang Su?

With the emperor, some rules are flexible, some are not.

"Uncle, don't worry, we need to think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible," Yang Yinjiang didn't think of any way these days, because Yu Shitai's performance was sent out before telling her husband Yang Ming.

Yang Ming couldn't stop it if he wanted to.

But Yang Yue, Yang Ming is absolutely to be protected, as soon as Yang Su dies, Yang Yue is now Yang Ming's number one military advisor, with Yang Yue pressing, Yang Xuangan will not rebel, and the relationship between the uncle and nephew is very deep.

"My father should be on the way to Jiangdu, his first receipt will definitely not be to ask for the guilt, but to ask me about the situation first, the matter is confirmed, it will be the guilt, and it will take a month at the earliest before I can receive the letter of inquiry," Yang Ming said suddenly: "Then we need to get this matter done within a month." ”

Yang Yue cried and said with a sad face: "How can you do it?" Could it be that you still dare to bully the king? ”

"It's not impossible to be at an extraordinary moment," Yang Ming said.

Yang Yue and Yang Yinjiang were stunned at the same time, and after glancing at each other, they refused in unison.

"No, the matter must not implicate you, the crime of bullying the king is extraordinary, you must not have this thought," Yang Yue said: "Actually, it doesn't matter, at most, it is just a demotion of officials, and it is not enough to dismiss the officials, and you can't take this risk." ”

Yang Yinjiang also hurriedly persuaded her husband: "The husband is the backbone, you can't be involved in anything, for you, no matter how big our loss is, it's worth it, don't do stupid things." ”

Yang Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "First of all, we have to understand that the duty of the Imperial Historical Observatory is to hear about it, sometimes it is true or false, and they don't know it, as long as we bite it to death, Yang Yue didn't go, and then arrange it properly, in fact, there will be no problems." ”

Yang Yue was stunned for a moment, sat down opposite Yang Ming, and asked, "What is the arrangement?" ”

"Isn't Xuanzong in Beijing? He is the most similar to you, and he also has a beard, so we say that it is Xuanzong who worships the ancestors," Yang Ming said: "Your people came in from the Chunming Gate in the east of the Jingshi, and the current Chunming Gate is Li Jing's right guard on duty, and the entry and exit records are under the management of Yang Yue of Wannian County, don't you know what to do?" ”

After listening to this, Yang Yue fell into a deep groan, this method is absolutely feasible, because when he returns to Beijing, he is surrounded by his own subordinates, and there is no problem in terms of loyalty, and no one will leak it out.

The right Wuwei and Wannian County, who were on duty at the Chunming Gate, were also absolutely reliable people, and it was very easy to change the record, besides, he came in in a carriage, and no one saw that it was him.

But after thinking about it, Yang Yue still didn't want Yang Ming to take this risk, after all, Yushitai had a large number of scouts in Beijing, and there was no guarantee that someone would really see him.

"I still don't think it's appropriate, forget it, it's too risky," Yang Yue was inclined to give up.

Yang Ming smiled: "Haven't you always been quite bold?" Why are you so timid this time? ”

"Alas, your majesty today, you can't rub sand in your eyes, and you can't live long if you're not timid," Yang Yue sighed.

Yang Yinjiang was also a little unhappy, in her opinion, she would rather her uncle be convicted than let her husband take a risk.

】

"It's okay, over there in Yushitai, I'll handle it, you just have to do it," Yang Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, if the risk is very high, I won't take risks, you can do it with peace of mind." ”

Yang Yue smiled: "You are comforting me, I know that the risk is not small, but I really didn't expect that you would do this for me." ”

"It's good for me to buy your heart," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Yang Yinjiang smiled helplessly, he knew that these two people were joking, did he still need to buy them? Everyone has been their own for a long time.

.......

The four people with the largest official rank in Beijing in Yushitai are Huang Fenglin, Chen Xiaoyi, Pei Lian, and You Yuan.

Among them, Huang Fenglin, since the year before last, will come to the Qin Palace's mansion every New Year's festival to give gifts, and the gift was received, but no one let him in.

This person, thanks to Yang Ming's original proposal of the Ten Subjects, he successfully won the Jinshi in the first year of the Great Cause, and in just two years, because he was sleek enough and very capable, he was promoted to the Imperial History Observatory.

The reason why he gave Yang Ming a gift was because this person's hometown was in Jiangxia County, and he was still a relative of the Shen family in Jiangling, and he knew that the Shen family gave gifts to Yang Ming every year, so he also started to give them.

And Yang Ming didn't let him enter the mansion, because the people of Yushitai can't be involved with any elders, and there is only a piece of sky above their heads, that is the emperor.

This is a taboo, Yang Ming will not have a relationship with anyone in the Yushitai.

But Huang Fenglin has great ambitions, he is not willing to just be a servant of the imperial history, so as long as he leaves the imperial history platform, he must have a big tree to rely on, and he is particularly visionary, and he believes that King Qin is the best candidate for the position of prince.

Therefore, gift-giving is also a kind of investment, but it is too anxious, which is a common problem of all poor children, because it is really not easy for them to climb up, but it is very simple to go down, and as long as they go down, it is impossible to come up again.

Up and down, it is the privilege of Guanlong Group.

Huang Fenglin's house in Jingshi is not big, because he has no money, and Yushitai is not small, but he does not dare to be greedy, because the price of making mistakes is a lifetime.

That night, late at night, Yang Ming only took fifty guards in civilian clothes, and under the cover of Li Jing's right guard, went to Huang Fenglin's house.

After the door was opened, the old housekeeper was directly controlled by the guards of the palace, and then Chen Kui and Su Lie opened the way in front and broke directly into Huang Fenglin's bedroom.

Huang Fenglin was almost scared to pee.

"You....... Who are you? Huang Fenglin hugged his wife and shrank in the corner of the bed, until he saw the man in the black cloak take off his hood, he hurriedly got out of bed and knelt on the ground:

"The nobleman is dressed up today, is it inconvenient for the minister to be commensurate with his position?"

"Clever!" Yang Ming waved his hand and motioned for Chen Kui and Su Lie to take Huang Fenglin's wife out.

Next, only Yang Ming and the two of them were left in the room.

After Yang Ming sat down, he said: "The four servants of the Imperial History Observatory left in the Jingshi, the first one I look for is you, if you satisfy me, then I won't look for anyone else." ”

Huang Fenglin was inexplicably excited, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, the minister will not let you down." ”

Once disappointed, there will be no next chance, Huang Fenglin suddenly felt that his efforts in the past two years were about to see the fruits of the harvest.

If you can meet the King of Qin, you will have a chance to show your ambitions.

And the reason why Yang Ming chose him was because Huang Fenglin had no backers, and no backers could use it with confidence.

"Yesterday, the Imperial History Observatory reported that Yang Yue worshipped his ancestors in Huayin County, and he was still crying in front of the Tomb of Chu State, who found it?"

So that's it? Huang Fenglin hurriedly said: "If you go back to the nobles, it was found by Pei Lian's subordinates, and he also went to Huayin County in person, and he did hear from the villagers that Yang Zhongshu's convoy was rerouted to worship his ancestors. ”

Yang Ming said: "I asked Yang Yue, it was not him who worshiped the ancestors that day, it was Huainan Gong Xuanzong, what do you think, what should the facts be?" ”

"If it's Huainan Gong, it's reasonable," Huang Fenglin's mind turned very fast.

Yang Ming was stunned: "Why? ”

Huang Fenglin said: "Ancestor worship is a big deal, Yang Zhongshu returned to Beijing in Luoyang, and there was no preparation in advance, how can he rush to worship his ancestors?" Yang Zhongshu and Duke Chu (Yang Xuangan) are not in Beijing, and Duke Huainan is the second son, so it is naturally reasonable to preside over the sacrifice. ”

Who presides over the ancestor worship of the Great Sui is in order, the first choice is the direct long house grandson, Yang Su is the long house of this vein, he died, it was Xuan Gan who presided, Xuan Gan was not in Beijing, then it was the second son Xuan Zong who presided, Yang Yue was not suitable, so Yang Yue just worshipped his ancestors alone, and was not with the family, because on the day of the real ancestor worship, he had to go to worship Yang Ming's ancestors.

Yang Ming smiled: "So, is Pei Lone's person wrong?" ”

"It's probably a mistake," Huang Fenglin is a person who is expressionless when he lies, and his psychological quality is extremely strong.

This person is available, Yang Ming nodded: "The matter needs to be investigated in the end, Your Majesty will definitely inquire about the situation in the future, I will leave this matter to you to handle, can you handle it?" ”

Huang Fenglin said: "Your nobleman, when this matter first came out, there was also a discussion on the side of the Yushitai, and the minister strongly advocated that the nobles should be let know first, and then sent to Luoyang. ”

This is an initiative to show goodwill, everyone knows the relationship between Yang Ming and Yang Yue, of course Huang Fenglin also knows, so he did suggest it at that time, but the reason of the other three is: Yushitai is only responsible for His Majesty, not for King Qin.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Although I can't manage the Yushitai, I can cure you, when you go to do this, who obstructs it, you tell me." ”

"Chen understands," Huang Fenglin hurriedly said.

Yang Ming got up and said, "Don't spread the news about what I saw you today, your mind is spinning fast, you should know how to deal with your wife later, right?" ”

"The minister will definitely not spread the word, don't worry, it's not the minister's wife, just a concubine," Huang Fenglin said.

Yang Ming nodded: "No wonder you're so young." ”

After that, Yang Ming put on his hat again and led people away.

Will he really only go to see Huang Fenglin alone? How can it be.

The four servants, at least two of them have to be willing to turn over the eucalyptus, and this matter will be safe, so Yang Ming immediately went to meet a truly upright loyal minister, Chen Xiaoyi.

The original intention of the establishment of the Yushitai was to recruit people like Chen Xiaoyi, who would not give face to anyone, but would only be loyal to the emperor.

It stands to reason that Yang Ming should be difficult to break through this level, but loyal ministers also have a shortcoming, that is, they talk about benevolence and morality, and in officialdom, they talk about benevolence and morality, which is a shortcoming, just like some people in later generations say that you are an honest person.

Chen Xiaoyi also passed the ten subjects to get a scholar, so as to enter the official career, but he did not enter the Jinshi, the test was not the Jinshi department, but the "strong perseverance and integrity" in the ten subjects, he was a native of Hedong, and he was reported to be a lifter, called Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling was in Hedong, relying on himself to represent the Qin Wangfu, and snatched a place from Hedong County, which is full of big clans.

But Yang Ming used Fang Xuanling to persuade the other party, which is not appropriate, because Chen Xiaoyi is a person who admits death and is not emotional, unless you use reason to persuade him.

Although his personal relationship with Fang Xuanling is good, Chen Xiaoyi is very clear about public and private about private.

Yang Ming also likes such people.
