Hedong Pei and Hongnong Yang are currently in a delicate relationship, Pei Ju specially greeted the clan, and he is not allowed to have any conflict with Hongnong Yang, so he must get along well.

The more such an order is, the more people in the clan know what to do, and everyone will not say it explicitly on any occasion, but they know very well in their hearts that the old Pei family and the old Yang family are in opposing positions, but the time has not yet come.

All the big families in Hedong have a very deep connection with the Guanzhong Group, one is because of geography, the Guanzhong is too close, and the other is historical reasons, that is, the good of Qin and Jin.

Shanxi and Shaanxi, these two places, since ancient times the relationship is very iron, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the big families in these two places have been constantly married, you have me, I have you, a group of iron relations.

Therefore, the big family in Hedong has always been considered to belong to the Guanzhong aristocratic group, and its influence in the center is not comparable to those big families in Luoyang.

Pei Nanjin believes that since the crown prince has asked His Majesty about this matter, the matter of private smelting kilns can basically be decided, and everyone knows that His Majesty intends to conquer Goguryeo, so the kiln in his hometown Wenxi is bound to play a very big role in the future.

"I think so," Pei Yun said: "The canal has been completed, the Chidao is being repaired again, and the expedition to Goguryeo is only about two years, if we can supply enough ordnance for Taifu Temple in these two years, Your Majesty will be very happy, his old man is happy, and then the prince helps us speak, the family may be able to go further." ”

The Pei family doesn't care about money, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem, and now the family only relies on Pei Ju to stand in front of him, after all, there is a gap with Hongnong Yang, after all, although Yang Su is dead, Yu Wei is still there, and Yang Yue has been trying to find a way to come back, as soon as this person comes back, the situation of the Pei family is not good.

Pei Yun's meaning is very clear, that is, he hopes that the family will invest in the dry refining kiln, and give him all the benefits in the future, so that he can go up again, and become the twin stars in the clan with Pei Ju, so as to suppress other forces in the court.

This is in line with reality, because at present, in addition to Pei Ju, Pei Yun has the most potential, he has no title, and the rank is too low, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Others naturally heard the meaning of his words, but many people were not happy, because Pei Yun and their branch came back from Old Chen, not a direct branch stationed in Hedong for a long time.

Pei Renji is not very happy, he feels that he is the most promising one, recently he has been looking for help from Pei Ju and Li Jing, and wants to go up, and now the time is ripe.

General Zuotunwei was vacant, the first was Shi Wansui, and then Shi Wansui quit, and Changsun Sheng took over, but Changsun Sheng died.

This position is bound for him, Pei Ju is also willing to help, and with the help of his old boss Li Jing, the Duke of Xuguo, this thing can be done.

The son-in-law of Li Jing, the Duke of Qiguo, is not very famous, but he has a concubine, who is very awesome, but unfortunately he is dead, that is, Li Yuantong, the former secretary of the military department, and Li Jing has a descendant in history, called Li Sheng, who is ranked among the seventy-two generals of Wumiao.

"I agree with Pei Yun's statement," Pei Renji said: "This is an opportunity given to us by the prince, in fact, with the relationship between the prince and us, there is no need to call this greeting at all, he wants to open a kiln in Wenxi, how can we not support it?" But people still gave us a chance, so I thought that the prince had the intention to take care of us, and we would go out with the big head, but it would be in the name of the prince. ”

"This is reasonable," Pei Xian, who was in charge, said: "What the prince is planning, for the country and the king, we are just the green leaves of the foil, and we must not take the lead, as long as the prince helps us speak in the future, the future of the children in the clan can be worry-free." ”

Doctor Pei Zi said: "Money, it's not a problem, it's not a problem, our minds, Shiju will definitely try to reveal it to His Majesty to know, Ah Yun is still favored in the East Palace, maybe this opportunity is what Ah Yun helped us get, as a mother's family, we must do this matter beautifully, and we can't lose this person to Ah Yun." ”

"Then say hello to Hedong as soon as possible," Pei Nanjin said: "Didn't the prince choose the mine site?" Let's arrange for people to go over as soon as possible, and repair the road first. ”

"Since that's the case," Pei Xian said: "Then everyone can contribute as much as they can, and the Hedong clan will also contribute, whoever wants to make a mistake in this matter, go to Shiju to explain." ”

Next, it's the big guy who has made up the money, and in a moment, he has already made up a million.

Pei Yun is in charge of docking with Yang Ming, so he will inform Yang Ming of the results of tonight's council.

After the next day's court meeting, Cui Junsu, the servant of the ministry, came with Liu Xuan.

"Do you know why Lone is looking for you?" After Yang Ming invited the other party to sit down, he said with a smile.

Liu Xuan is not very old, in his fifties, dressed as an old master, as the so-called belly has poetry and books, Liu Xuan's first impression is that this person is very knowledgeable.

"Back to the prince, people think that the prince intends to use me."

Yang Ming said with a smile: "When Mr. was in the court, he was criticized for his humble conduct, how could Lone use such a person?" ”

"Whether you are humble or not, don't say it in other people's mouths," Liu Xuan said: "Contemptible people are self-assured of their talents, and they often have actions that no one in their eyes in, so they will naturally suffer from unwarranted criticism, if they are really lacking in character, the prince will not see me today." ”

This person didn't take Pei Ju in his eyes back then, of course, Pei Ju didn't take him seriously, so in the end, the people who sued were just some of Liu Xuan's colleagues, as well as several bosses in Taichang Temple, the real bigwigs were very particular about dealing with a person who was engaged in learning.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "In the twenty years of the emperor's reign, Gaozu abolished all the government-run schools in the prefecture and county, you are the most opposed, why are you opposed?" ”

Liu Xuan said: "Emperor Gaozu was far-sighted, set up a school early, thinking that my Great Sui was a good talent, but the local collusion, Yang Feng Yin violated, resulting in such an enlightened national policy, partial and inverted, contemptible people thought at the time, the main reason why this policy can not be abolished, is because it is easy to abolish and difficult, as long as the school is still there, it is possible to gradually reform its system, so that it is gradually enlightened, if the school is abolished, want to set up another difficult than ascending to the sky. ”

"Why is it so hard to climb to the sky?" Yang Ming said with a smile.

Liu Xuan replied: "The school of the state and county provides convenience for the children of the officials of the state and county, but the right to appoint the Great Sui has always been in the center, in Shangshu Province, so the disadvantage of the school lies in the power struggle between the center and the locality. ”

"So what do you think can be done to set up another school in the local area?" Yang Ming asked.

Liu Xuan sighed and said: "There is no solution at the moment, Emperor Gaozu overrode public opinion and promulgated this policy, and the center tasted the bitterness, how could he agree again?" ”

"Then you will put more effort into this matter in the future, and I hope you can help Gu find a solution," Yang Ming said.

Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "That contemptible person will fall into a place of no return." ”

"The heavens will descend on the Si people," Yang Ming said with a smile: "Then what do you think is the position of Lonely?" ”

Liu Xuan smiled bitterly: "Since it is a big responsibility, it should be a high position, and it is about the crown prince Xian Ma." ”

"I'll take office tomorrow, go back and prepare," Yang Ming said with a smile.

This person has a very high reputation among the scholars, higher than that Wang Tong, and he sees many issues very clearly.

This position must have the same political ideas as Yang Ming, and other aspects are not Yang Ming's key considerations.

After Liu Xuan left, Yang Ming gave his father a lesson, praised Liu Xuan, and said that he liked it very much, thinking that the prince Xian Ma was the best candidate, and the possibility of his father's opposition was almost none.

Because Yang Guang has long seen that his son no longer needs to be taught by others, it is the same whether he has a prince or not.

Su Lie came back, stayed in Yiwu for nearly a year, and after the new Taishou Wang Wei successfully took over and began to re-expand Yiwu City, Su Lie no longer needed to stay, so he led his troops back.

Zhangye and Dunhuang allocated 2,000 people to Wang Wei to be responsible for the future defense of Yiwu City.

Su Lie's return also brought back a bad news, the Chuluo Department had been completely cleaned up by Yang Guang, but the Khan of Shooting Kui swept away the entire Western Turks in a few months and became the new Great Khan.

The Western Turks, who were greatly injured, did not dare to have a bad relationship with the Great Sui at the moment, so they always hoped that Pei Ju would fulfill his promise and give Shekui a princess.

Pei Ju was completely pretending to be stupid and didn't make any movement, which made Gao Changguo's current situation very embarrassing, because the Western Turks are the overlords of the Western Regions, and I don't have a princess, how can you have it?

As a result, the Western Turks, under the instruction of the Shooting Kui, frequently harassed Gaochang, and the king of Gaochang, Lu Boya, asked for assistance from the Great Sui.

"I will take this matter to the court meeting tomorrow to say, you have worked so hard, I will allow you to take a break for five days, and then come back to report on your work after five days," Yang Ming and Su Lie walked together in the East Palace, and asked casually:

"By the way, are you seventeen or eighteen this year?"

Su Lie said: "Eighteen." ”

"It's time to get married," Yang Ming said: "This year's spring outing, you go, tell me which girl you like, I'll call the shots for you." ”

It is inconvenient for Yang Ming to find a family for Su Lie directly, because he can't get in touch with people below the Gaomen lord, and Su Lie's background and position, it is very difficult to find a wife from Guanzhong Group.

So just let him find it himself, and Yang Ming will finally endorse him, which is the most appropriate.

Su Lie said embarrassedly: "Not everyone can go to the spring outing, I am afraid that I am not qualified because of my humble background." ”

"This time you have a merit in defeating Yiwu, I got a Guo Yilang general, and also left you a position for Qianniu to prepare, you will go as the prince Qianniu to prepare, no one will stop you," Yang Ming said.

Su Lie was originally the king of Qin, but the crown prince did not have the position of Kuzhi, but Kuzhi and Qianniu were prepared to do the same thing.

"Humble and thank Your Highness for your promotion!" Su Lie half-knelt on the ground.

Yang Ming kicked him on the knee and said, "Get up!" You are my person, I have always calculated your affairs in my heart, don't come to this set when there are no outsiders. ”

A warmth rose in Su Lie's heart, and he saluted again, so he took another kick from Yang Ming.

He is absolutely loyal to Yang Ming, not because Yang Ming can let him go higher, but because Yang Ming treats him sincerely.

Some people's sincerity needs Yang Ming to exchange his scheming, and some can only be exchanged for sincerity.
