The Luhua Hall of Yichun Palace is Chen Shuyi's dormitory, where there are more than 200 eunuchs and slaves.

It is very lively at the moment, and the old Chen family, with the acquiescence of the crown princess Yang Yinjiang, was allowed to enter the East Palace and visit Chen Shuyi.

The court etiquette system of the Great Sui is far less complicated than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the boundary between respect and inferiority is not as obvious as that of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

If it was placed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor's harem or the concubines of the prince's harem, it would be impossible to let so many maiden relatives enter the palace to visit.

Dozens of people from the old Chen family gathered here, both men and women were helping to clean up, a lot of brocade clothes were sent, Chen Shuyi's bed was raised several floors, Liu Jingyan, as the oldest elder, was holding Chen Shuyi's hand and talking and laughing with the juniors in the hall.

After Yang Ming came in, everyone obviously became very unnatural, and the originally cheerful atmosphere instantly became restrained, that is, Liu Jingyan was neither humble nor arrogant, he could do whatever he wanted, after all, he had seen the big wind and waves.

Chen Shuyi had just finished vomiting, and now she was bitter in her mouth, chewing black plum to remove the bitterness, she took Yang Ming's arm, helped Yang Ming sit down very obediently, and then sat aside.

Yang Ming looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "Shuyi is usually willful and rude, is it because everyone is present today, so she pretends to be so comfortable and solemn?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately laughed, and the atmosphere eased a little.

Chen Shuyi pursed her lips and smiled.

Liu Jingyan said with a smile: "People say that the temperament is difficult to change, although the concubine has gone through many twists and turns, but the delicate and noble spirit in the bones will remain the same. ”

Yang Ming said: "Shuyi and I are young friends, deep and meaningful, she suffered in the past, I will double to make up for her." ”

Chen Shuyi pursed her lips and quietly stretched out her hand to hold Yang Ming.

Yang Ming smiled and stroked the back of her hand, and said, "It's rare to get together today, you should give me a good introduction." ”

Chen Shuyi nodded and began to introduce Yang Ming to the old Chen family.

Most of them are Chen Shuyi's younger brothers, because they are still young, they have not yet entered the ranks, but the officials have already prepared files.

In the past two years, under the running of Chen Shuyi and Yang Guang's two Chen wives, the children of the old Chen family have continued to pour into Beijing and have been arranged to one post after another.

The Chen family didn't know that Yang Guang reused them because he had the heart to support the children of Jiangnan, and they always thought that it was Chen Shuyi and the three of them who were trying their best to help the family speak.

Among them, Chen Shuyi's reliance is Yang Ming, so many people naturally think that Yang Ming is helping them, so they are grateful and respected to Yang Ming from the bottom of their hearts.

In fact, Yang Ming didn't help much.

Chen Shubao's eldest son and second son have all passed away, and now the third son Chen Yan is the oldest, one year younger than Chen Shuyi, he was named King Yongjia in the old Chen Shi, and now he is only an alternate official of the Great Sui Officials.

Yang Ming is twenty-three years old this year, and Chen Shuyi is four years older than her, twenty-seven (one year less than the previous article, which has been changed), so Chen Yan is twenty-six.

"You've been in Beijing for two years, right?" Yang Ming asked: "If you are in a hurry, just open your mouth, and I will definitely help." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," Chen Yan hurriedly said: "Although the family assets are thin, they can still barely survive, the prince loves him, and the grass people understand it." ”

Chen Shubao's family property is in the hands of the fourth Chen Yuan, Chen Yan has no money, but the old Chen family is also the old Chen royal family after all, there are many acres of land in the south, and the people are barely living and the common people are barely living, those are two different things.

The people light up at night, relying on the moon, at least there is no shortage of lamps, oil and candles, and they can read books at night, and the people only have two items of chat and shame at night.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Chengyi (Chen Yanzi) is in the prime of life, it is inevitable that the long-term residence in Beijing will be abandoned, I have been in a heavy government in recent years, and I have no chance to settle you, so I will take this opportunity today to plan a future for everyone." ”

Saying that, Yang Ming ordered Qianniu to prepare for Dugu Lingyun and go to the Ministry to check the waiting list.

The children of the Chen family in the hall couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts.

Now that the crown prince is in charge of the country, it is really a gesture to arrange some errands for them, not to mention that Shuyi is favored, and knows their minds, with Shuyi by his side, their affairs will be better.

Liu Jingyan also gave Chen Shuyi a look, and Chen Shuyi returned a "received" look.

Yang Ming arranges the old Chen family, it is very easy, but sometimes you have to pay attention to public opinion, and now taking advantage of Chen Shuyi's pregnancy to arrange the children of the Chen family, in the eyes of others, this is a reward, understandable, and the resistance will be very small.

Officials are alternate, that is to queue up, and there are a lot of queues, who has the ability, whose children go first, so it is difficult to do the position of the secretary department, and the slightest carelessness will offend people.

And Yang Ming doesn't need to worry about his father objecting, because the political direction of the two of them is the same, they both reuse the southerners, "call the children of the Chen family to return to the Beijing teacher, and use them as they come", but Yang Guang gave it.

Cui Junsu, the servant of the ministry, came with the waiting list in person, because he was afraid that Yang Ming would look difficult, and it would be convenient for him to explain it in detail on the side.

The children of the Chen family got up one after another and saluted Cui Junsu, after all, he was the big man of the third grade.

Cui Junsu returned the salute with a polite smile.

In other places, Cui Junsu would not look at them with his eyes, but here, it is obvious that in terms of his close relationship with the crown prince, he is not as good as the Chen family.

Yang Ming took the thick list and began to flip through it.

Not long after I saw it, there was a name that was particularly eye-catching, not that such a person was very famous, but that he was added as an alternate for ten years after the emperor's opening, and he is still an alternate.

How many teams have been inserted? One look at the surname, Gong, then it's no wonder.

Then, Yang Ming saw a familiar name, Liu Zhuo, who was kicked out of Taichang Temple because of the abacus formula.

This person is an absolute top talent, and he is the candidate for the crown prince Xian Ma that Yang Ming once considered, but unfortunately in history, there is another year, and Liu Zhuo should hang up.

Under the expectation of the children of the Chen family, Yang Ming spoke, but the first person he asked Cui Junsu was Liu Zhuo.

"Where is Dr. Liu now?"

Cui Junsu said: "In the spring of the previous year, I have returned to my hometown in Xindu, Hebei. ”

It's a pity, such a long distance, if you are old enough to travel for a long distance, it is estimated that you can't bear it, and when you go back to your hometown, it is clear that you don't plan to be an official anymore.

Yang Ming asked again:

"Liu Xuan and Liu Guangbo, where do you live now?"

Liu Xuan and Liu Zhuo, also known as "Er Liu", are the two most famous academics in Hebei, Yang Guang succeeded to the beginning of the throne and awarded a doctorate in Taixue, but later was dismissed for his humble conduct.

Historically, Liu Xuan was displaced during the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, returned to his hometown alone, and finally froze to death at the foot of the city wall of Jingcheng County, Hejian County, his hometown, and his body was collected and buried by his protégés, and he was respected as "Mr. Xuande".

Cui Junsu replied: "Right now, I am in Beijing and open a school to teach. ”

"Let him enter the palace, and say I want to see him," Yang Ming said.

Cui Junsu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Then, Yang Ming began to look through the vacancies of various counties and counties, there are 190 counties in the Great Sui, and more than 1,300 counties are under control, so there are many vacancies.

There are only two normal vacancies, death, or transfer.

Yang Ming said while flipping through the pages: "Does Chengyi like the south or the north?" ”

Chen Yan first glanced at Chen Shuyi, and then said: "My Great Sui North and South are unified, and they are the same everywhere, but they are arranged by the prince." ”

In fact, he likes to go back to the south, after all, in the north, he has to look at the face of the gate valve in Guanzhong, and it is difficult to be a man and an official.

So with that look in his eyes, he hoped that his sister Chen Shuyi could help him say what was inconvenient to say.

But Chen Shuyi ignored him, and gave you the official to be honest, picking and choosing what you thought was Chen Chao?

Of course, Yang Ming will not let him go back to the south, and the southerners being officials in the north will help to challenge the Guanzhong group and help the integration of the north and the south.

"At present, there are many vacancies in Hebei, and there are advantages of the canal, Wuyang County Guantao County, close to the canal, Caoyun accessible, you go here."

Chen Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Yang Ming didn't need to say it explicitly, Chen Yan also knew that he was asked to do the county order, the Great Sui system, the county-level chief official was appointed by the ministry, and the county commander was set up by the county order.

Next is the fifth Chen Qian, who was arranged to Gu'an County in Zhuo County to be the county commander, and the sixth Chen Qian was arranged into the Silitai

At present, there are more than 70 vacancies in the local area and the institutions in the imperial city, and Yang Ming arranged eight in one go.

Cui Junsu remained silent, thinking in his heart that after he went back tonight, he would have to write a letter to Shangshu Niu Hong to inform the other party of this situation.

There are more than seventy vacancies, and they have long been divided, Cui Junsu has four places in his hands, all of them are people who ask him for help, and he also promised others, at the moment, it seems that these people can only wait a little longer, and the prince will arrange it first.

When Yang Gongren, the secretary of the previous ministry, left, a group of people were arranged in the line of fire, and these people had not yet settled down, so Yang Gongren's side and Cui Junsu also had to write a letter to explain the reason.

The eight people present today who did not have official bodies were all settled by Yang Ming, Liu Jingyan kept praising Yang Ming, and the wrinkles on his face were piled up into a flower.

Chen Shuyi also teased the people in the clan sentence by sentence, and the atmosphere in the hall became harmonious for a while.

Yang Ming simply asked people to set up a banquet and set up wine, drink with the children of the Chen family, and also asked people to call Chen Shuda from Jialing Temple.

is so grand, Yang Ming is also to show everyone his absolute love for Shuyi.

That night, after Pei Yun dispersed, he sent his entourage to contact the clan core in Beijing to meet, ready to discuss the matter of refining the kiln.

Pei Renji, the general of the right prison gate, and his son, Pei Nanjin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Pei Xian, the prince of Linfen County, who is retired in Beijing, Pei Xiji, the younger brother of Pei Xizai, the new commander of Chang'an County, Pei Heng, the driving department of the Ministry of War, Pei Heng, the doctor Pei Zitong, the pensioner, Pei Wendu, Sima Pei Wendu, the secretary of Jingzhao County, Pei Shen, and Pei Hongce, the left school office of the temple, Pei Hongce, this person and Li Yuan are brothers-in-law, and his wife Dou is the sister of Li Yuan's wife

A total of 27 people met at the house of Gong Pei Xian, who was already in his seventies.

Among these people in the clan, Pei Yun is a big official, but his status is not high, but the party is his leader, so he started the topic first and explained it to everyone from beginning to end.

"Since it is the crown prince who takes the lead, and it is affiliated with Taifu Temple, what kind of climate can we do with only 500,000 guan?" Pei Nanjin, who was still young, said directly: "If you want me to see it, either don't do it, or do it, anyway, Your Majesty also knows about it." ”

His father, Pei Zheng, was Yang Yong's crown prince Zuo concubine.

The person in charge, Pei Xian, who is also the most senior, blew down his snow-white beard and said:

"The matter hasn't started yet, don't jump to conclusions, let's discuss it well."
