On July 15, the temple was sacrificed.

In the Taimiao of the old Yang family, Yang Ming also knew that his grandfather Yang Jian and his great-grandfather Yang Zhong did not know any of them, but in the records of the Zongmiao, their old Yang family was the eighth grandson of Yang Zhen, the eighth grandson of Yang Zhen, the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty, and the descendant of Yang Xuan, the Taishou of Beiping of the Yan State during the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period, Yang Xuan was the sixth ancestor of Yang Jian.

Yang Xuan has a son named Yang Yuanshou, who served as Sima of Wuchuan Town during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and as we all know, the Guanlong Group is the home of the Six Towns Uprising, and Wuchuan Town is one of the Six Towns.

The core figure of the Guanlong Group is the twelve generals of the Eight Pillars of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Among them, the generals of the Zhu State Yuwentai, Li Hu, Duguxin, Zhao Gui, Hou Mo Chen Chong, and the generals Hou Mo Chen Shun, Yu Wendao, He Lanxiang, and Yang Zhong all came out of Wuchuan Town.

And Yu Wentai, the second-generation leader of the Guanlong Group, is Li Shimin's maternal great-grandfather, and Li Hu is Li Shimin's great-grandfather.

And Yang Su is the sixteenth grandson of Yang Zhen, the captain of the Han Dynasty, and their family genealogy can be traced back to Yang Zhen's son Yang Feng.

That's why, it was Yang Yue who presided over the sacrifice on his behalf, because the tablet of Yang Zhen at the top of the Taimiao Temple was really his ancestor.

Nothing happened, there was no ancestor worship, Yang Yue presided, Yang Ming led the clan, and Yu Taimiao began a grand sacrifice ceremony.

Yang Yue is in charge of presiding, not that he worships his ancestors, but that he coordinates Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Zongzheng Temple, and Honglu Temple to preside over the sacrificial ceremony.

The emperor is here, so naturally there is no need for Yang Yue to make overall arrangements, and now, Yang Guang has handed over this task to Yang Yue, and Yang Yue has the power to coordinate various departments, prepare tributes, prepare sacrifices, clean the temple, monks and Taoists also set up altars and shrines, and the Propaganda Department also has gongs, drums and string accompaniment.

This is a very complicated process, and they are all about Yang to come to the leader, which is almost equivalent to the host of red and white affairs.

And Yang Ming and other cadres of the sect have to wear ceremonial clothes, and after entering the Taimiao, under the guidance of the great sacrifice, there are rules for when to kneel, kowtow a few times, burn a few pillars of incense, and recite any words in their mouths.

After worshipping the ancestors, about half a month later, Yang Guang's reply was sent from a palace in the middle of the canal.

The letter is also asking Yang Ming, about Yang Yue, whether it is true or false, must be investigated.

And at this time, Guan Wang Yang Xiong and Huang Fenglin and Chen Xiaoyi also found out that the one who worshiped his ancestors that day was indeed Xuanzong, not Yang Yue.

Over there in Huayin County, some people say that it is Yang Yue who they see, and some people say that they see Yang Xuanzong, but the uncle and nephew are too similar in size and have similar faces, so it is easy to be confused.

However, after checking the entry and exit records and the thorough investigation in the city, it was basically determined that it had nothing to do with Yang Yue.

Yang Xiong was completely going through the motions, and the whole process was not taken seriously at all, Huang Fenglin saw this posture, and knew that he could arrange it casually, so he was responsible for recording and investigating the entire eucalyptus, Chen Xiaoyi turned a blind eye, and the right was to deal with the errand.

Pei Lin was completely stunned at this time, although he knew that this was not the case, but if he didn't admit his mistake at this time, the end would be miserable, he was afraid that King Qin would find an excuse and deal with him.

So he took the initiative to plead guilty at the court meeting, saying that he was negligent and deceived His Majesty without finding out, and he deserved death.

This is called a wise man, who can bend and stretch.

With his attitude, Yang Ming really can't get him, because of the wind and news of the Yushitai, the word wind and news originally have the meaning of being difficult to distinguish between true and false, which means that as long as you hear about it, you have to play it, as for the truth or falsehood, the emperor will naturally find out.

That's probably the case, so Yang Ming sorted out all the files that Yang Xiong and the others found, and presented them to the emperor in a state of sparseness, and then he wrote a letter in his personal name and sent someone to deliver it to his father Yang Guang.

When Yang Guang received these files, it was already close to October, because Yang Guang had now successfully arrived in Yangzhou and lived in Jiangdu Palace.

Jiangdu is a county, and the capital is Yangzhou.

On the way to Jiangdu, he also caught a beauty, a married woman named Wu Jiangxian, who was named Mrs. Kongtong by Yang Guang.

At present, Yang Guang is the most fortunate to this woman, almost day and night, stealing joy, ignoring government affairs, the file sent by Yang Ming was shelved for more than half a month before he got out of the woman's boudoir.

I have to say that in some aspects, Yang Guang is much stronger than his third son, and as for the second son, it's hard to say, let's call it equal for the time being.

On this day, Yang Guang was dressed in civilian clothes and summoned the ministers to discuss politics in the Chengxiang Palace, but these days were so chic that he didn't even bother to wear a dress.

"Do you know, the people of Jiangdu, how to praise me?" Yang Guang said with a smile, he was blunt and asked everyone to pat him on the back.

Yuwen Shuxi said: "He thick ceremonial guard, lack of feathers, there are cranes to hold their feathers and offer them, so the people of Jiangdu are rumoring, the Son of Heaven makes feather instruments, birds and beasts sacrifice themselves, and the Son of Heaven is really a saint to come into the world." ”

"I'm afraid it's your ears woven to please me," Yang Guang's sleeves rolled up, laughing, and his expression was quite useful.

Yu Wenshu suddenly pretended to be frightened and said, "How dare the minister make up this? Now that Jiangnan is spreading the wind, His Majesty can send people to hear it and know what it is. ”

Others also smiled and agreed, saying that they had indeed heard such rumors.

Yang Guang was in a good mood, lazily put his elbows to his knees, and said with a smile:

"When I first came to Yangzhou, I exempted Yangzhou from taxes and granted amnesty to prisoners, which was so rich and generous, and naturally won the praise of all the people."

The first thing Yang Guang did when he came to Yangzhou was to exempt Yangzhou City from paying taxes for five years, plus three years of taxes under the jurisdiction of the old governor's government.

The original governor of Yangzhou, the governor of the military of forty-four states, these places, all of which were exempt from tax for three years.

First of all, this approach does have a great pacification effect on the Jiangnan region, whether it is the family or the ordinary people, they must be very happy, three or five years do not have to pay taxes, this is definitely a good thing, so this measure is of positive significance.

However, you have too much money to exempt, and half of the South does not pay taxes, what is this concept?

First to build Tokyo, then to the Hiroto, the north is about to be dragged down by you, and now you have come to benefit the southerners?

Within three or five years, Jiangnan can't collect a single dollar in taxes, so Yang Guang's expenses must be provided from the north, but Yang Guang's expenses are too big.

Right now, the people of the entire Jiangdu have gone to the riverside to watch your luxury fleet.

One dragon boat (emperor), one Xiangyan (queen), nine floating boats (high-level concubines), thirty-six rippling watercolor boats (low-level concubines), fifty-two fifth-floor boats (on the third grade), one hundred and twenty third-floor boats (four-grade officials, monks, and Taoists), two hundred and fifty second-floor boats (five-grade officials, envoys from various countries), Huangmiaofang (below five-grade concubines), and other ships such as Fenggong, Huanglong, and Chijian, totaling 5,191.

Regarding the scene of Yang Guangnan's tour of the river capital, Zizhi Tongjian recorded: the ships are connected for more than 200 miles, shining on the Sichuan and land, and the cavalry is on both sides of the river, and the flag covers the wilderness.

In fact, until now, there are still more than 1,000 boats that have not reached Jiangdu.

After everyone was slapping their horses and welcoming them for a long time, Yang Guang was in a good mood and asked Gao Ye to select some important ones from the file and deal with them briefly.

He is not in the mood to deal with government affairs now, and Mrs. Kongtong Wu Jiangxian is wearing transparent tulle and waiting for him in the back bedroom.

So, what is important?

First of all, look at the people, the person who plays the sparse is important, then the sparse is important.

Yang Ming took it seriously.

The dossier was very thick, and Yang Guang was really too lazy to read it, so he only picked out the final summary and roughly flipped through it.

As soon as he finished reading it, his brows were tightly knit.

The third child's courage is getting bigger and bigger, and he dares to present such a result to me? Does he think I'm a good lake?

With a snap, Yang Guang threw the song aside,

When everyone saw that the emperor was angry, they didn't dare to squeak, so they only came to Hu'er and asked in a low voice, "What is contained in the song?" Causing His Majesty to be angry? ”

"Can't you read it yourself?" Yang Guang said angrily.

Laihu'er got up, carefully picked up the song, and after reading it, handed it to Yuwenshu beside him.

Then, the ministers circulated one after another, and Yang Xuangan's expression changed the most.

Pei Lin on the dog day, Lao Tzu will do you sooner or later.

Yuwen Shu's heart was full of joy, in his opinion, this was an excellent opportunity to fall into the well, because His Majesty was on fire, so following His Majesty's fire, he could lead to King Qin and burn him well.

Yuwenshu frowned and said: "Yang Yue does not respect the king, it is a big disrespect, such a big thing, why would King Qin let King Guan take two small officials to do it?" It is unbelievable that the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department did not participate at all. ”

His words clearly have the meaning of dragging the king of Qin into the water, and Yang Zhiji, the king of Cai, formed a friendship with Yang Ming during the change of Renshou Palace that year, and he also received a letter from Jingshi, saying that Yang Ming reused the children of the clan, and if you look at it this way, the king of Qin is his own person.

So he first glanced at Xuan Gan, and then said:

"Maybe it's really wrong, Yang Zhongshu worships his ancestors halfway, it's really unlikely, after all, he is ordered to return to Beijing, and the sacrifices have not been prepared, how to sacrifice? I haven't heard of people who can worship their ancestors empty-handed. ”

Yang Xuangan didn't expect someone to help, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, my uncle was definitely slandered by a rumor." ”

"Hehe......." Yang Guang sneered: "You give me a reason?" ”

Yang Xuan said with righteous feelings: "Uncle Yang Yue, there is no child under his knees, and the latter is a great unfilial piety, how can it be a big event to worship the ancestors?" ”

This reason is completely tenable, but Yang Yue has no such thing, even Yang Guang is embarrassed to mention it, he never thought that in front of so many people, Yang Xuangan revealed it.

Everyone knows that Yang Yue is not good at that, but no one dares to say it, because this is the shortcomings of revealing others.

Yang Guang nodded, and fell into a deep groan, indeed, Yang Yue has no heirs, which is a big flaw, you have given the ancestors the last step, what qualifications do you have to worship the ancestors?

Although there is a stepson Xuan Ting, the stepson is a stepson after all.

Yu Shiji, when he was in Luoyang, had been successfully bought by Yang Xuan, and at this critical moment, he would naturally stand up and fall into the ground.

"Pei Lin has always been cautious and cautious, if there is no definite basis, I don't think I will slander Yang Zhongshu, as Xu Guogong said, King Qin really shouldn't let the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department stay out of the matter, it is not legal, Yang Zhongshu and King Qin are in-laws, will there be a suspicion of favoritism?"

Su Wei immediately retorted: "On the file, the record is clear, the King of Qin acted like this because he was worried that the three divisions would be interrogated and delay the sacrifice to the Taimiao. If Yang Yue really worships his ancestors halfway, it is not only a great disrespect to His Majesty, but also a contempt for the clan, how can King Qin, as a member of the clan, let it go? ”

Niu Hong looked at Su Wei and said with a smile: "What Yu Shilang means is that King Qin wants to protect Yang Yue regardless of the clan, I think it's ridiculous when I hear it." ”

"I didn't mean that, don't talk nonsense," Yu Shiji hurriedly shouted injustice.

Yang Gongren snorted even more coldly: "And the implication of Yu Shilang's words is that his father is also suspected of favoritism?" ”

His father, Yang Xiong, is the general person in charge of the investigation, and all the eucalyptus files are handled by Yang Xiong, Yuwen said that they suspect that the investigation is greasy, and there is no doubt that Yang Gongren's father has also been involved, can people be happy?

At this time, Sun Chi, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, looked at the emperor and stated:

"Chen Xiaoyi is a son, loyal and upright, clean and self-disciplined, and strict in law enforcement, since he is also one of the managers, this result, the minister thinks there will be no mistakes."

Yang Gongren was unhappy again: "What do you mean by this?" My father was unfaithful? The king of Qin handed over the eucalyptus to my father, the original intention was because his old man was loyal to His Majesty, and there was no possibility of shielding anyone. ”

The eldest grandson was speechless.

The audience and ministers competed with each other, Yang Guang was quite comfortable, like watching a play, leisurely, but in his heart, he was still not very at ease with his son, the third child's city government was too deep, and he was meticulous in doing things, he wanted to protect Yang Yue and ensure that others couldn't find anything greasy.

At this time, Gao Ye leaned into Yang Guang's ear and whispered:

"King Qin has a family letter, which was sent together with the file, and the family letter is currently with the queen, do you want to take it now?"

Yang Guang suddenly frowned: "Since there is a letter, why is it with the queen?" ”

"Because there are two letters, one for His Majesty and one for the Empress, the Empress thinks that it should be an ordinary letter of invitation, so she put them away," Takano said.

"Hutu," Yang Guang said in a deep voice, "take the letter." ”

He understands that his son, if he just asks for peace, he will not have a letter from his father and mother, and the third child has done this kind of thing before, one thing in the open and one in the dark.

When Yang Guang read his son's letter, he was completely relieved.

Yang Yue's dog thing did go, but not to worship the ancestors, but to pay tribute to his brother Yang Su, which is understandable, because when Yang Su died, Yang Yue was not in Beijing, but supervised the canal in Luoyang.

What's more, the two brothers have always had a deep relationship, and they didn't see each other before they died, and now since they are on the way, it doesn't matter if they pay their respects.

The third child also wanted to make the big thing small, so as not to affect the temple sacrifice of their old Yang family, so he suppressed the matter.

It's still the old three looking at the overall situation.......
