Some relatives, when the elders in your family are still alive, spoil you in the face of the elders, and as soon as the head of the family dies, the people will gradually distance themselves from you and be indifferent, which is called hypocrisy.

And some relatives, when the elders were alive, ignored you, but the elders are gone, but they care for you, this is the real relative.

The icing on the cake and the charcoal in the snow make a huge difference.

Yang Lihua is like this, she really feels sorry for Yang Hao, after all, she is her brother's only son-in-law, when Yang Jun was alive, someone blessed Yang Hao, so she didn't have to worry about it, but right now, Yang Hao is lonely, supporting a family alone, Yang Lihua, as her aunt, naturally can't bear it.

"You did a good job this time, it's not in vain that I have loved you for so many years," Yang Lihua looked at Yang Ming with relief and said with a smile: "If a person doesn't care about his family, he is a jackal, and he is a lonely widow." ”

Am I just a lonely man? Yang Ming said with a smile: "With the same vein, blood and bones are connected, how can my nephew not plan for Brother Hao?" At the moment, the opportunity is also suitable, the military government is just vacant, and Brother Hao has also caught up. ”

Yang Hao is still wiping tears there, it is true that he has been too aggrieved for so many years.

The direct line of the royal family, although he has the title of King Liang, but he only has a military general in Hejian County, although no one dares to show him a face, but his self-esteem over the years must have been hit hard.

Yang Lihua was happy today, and specially asked someone to call her daughter's family.

A group of people gathered around the house, eating baked cakes and chatting.

The daily meals of the elite class are not the eight treasures of the mountains and seas, but the meat is not lacking, the wine is enough, the spices are sufficient, and the quality is high.

Vegetables and fruits, that is also depending on the season, what to eat in what season, although the cellar can increase the freshness time of the ingredients, but it is definitely different from what is eaten in a hurry.

The aristocracy can only eat pears in July and August, and the same is true for the common people, but it is a matter of eating more and eating less, anyway, you can't eat pears in May.

Hu cake is a staple food in the north of the Great Sui, mainly made by mixing sesame seeds and walnut kernels, but there are not many Hu cakes in the people's homes that can put these two things, because sesame seeds and walnut kernels are a bit expensive, and they don't put salt, because salt is more expensive.

Why can't the common people afford to eat pickles, because pickles are pickled with salt.

The salt system of the Great Sui Dynasty was collected by the government and sold by the government, and the salt making technology was very backward and the output was very small, so during the Tang Dynasty, there was still a saying that "the grain of the peasants was not enough for the price of salt".

Yang Ming was eating baked cakes mixed with salt in his mouth, and he was thinking about how to improve the yield and fineness of salt.

You must know that there is no substitute for salt, and people have no strength if they don't eat salt.

Hedong is salt-producing and has terrifying reserves, because it is one of the world's three largest sodium sulfate inland salt lakes.

But in fact, the largest salt lake in China is the Qinghai Qarhan Salt Lake, that is, Tuyuhun, this place wants to develop under the current conditions, it is very difficult, and China's largest salt mine is in Shanyang County, Jiangdu County, Shanyang County used to be called Huaiyin County.

Therefore, there is a reason why many places have been developed from ancient times to the present, Yuncheng is the only third-tier city in Shanxi, and there is also a reason, the degree of development of this place in ancient times, several streets in other places in Shanxi.

Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi, is the only second-tier city in Shanxi.

Yang Ming is not worried about how much he can make waves if he puts Yang Hao in Zuotunwei, General Zuotunwei, one is Mai Tiecane, Yang Guang's people, one Zhang Dinghe, Shi Wansui's people, and the generals below are all listening to Shi Huaiyi now, and Shi Huaiyi is listening to Yang Ming.

Therefore, this military government is still under the control of Yang Ming's father and son, and it is not easy for Yang Hao to cultivate cronies here.

After settling Yang Hao, Yang Ming met with the person named Cui Yi.

Not to mention, the brothers look quite alike.

The stakes are very high, Yang Ming gave a good instruct, and allocated some gifts from the treasury to Cui Yi, part of which was given to Tiele Khan Qibi Gelen, and part was given to Cui Zhen.

"It's a big matter, so it's important to get it done," Yang Ming said.

Cui Yi nodded: "The minister will handle this matter no matter what, and live up to the prince's expectations." ”

Cui Junsu in the clan has already given Cui Yi the truth, if this matter can be handled well, the prince will not treat him badly, and Cui Yi knows that the opportunity is rare, no matter how soft and hard this time, he has to complete the task.

And Cui Council first went to Honglu Temple to receive training, and someone would teach him etiquette and speech for five days.

After sending Cui Yi away, Xu Jing told Yang Ming that Pei Yun had come to look for him, but he didn't wait for others, so he left.

Now that it was night, Yang Ming was very tired today, but he still wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible, so he left the palace again.

On Pei Yun's house, after Yang Ming met with the other party, he probably knew the specific situation.

"The matter of refining the kiln, in the future, you will discuss it with Dugu Huaien and Yuanwen, I really don't have the energy."

Pei Yun saw that Yang Ming was tired, and hurriedly said: "The prince has a lot of opportunities, you must cherish your body, it's late at night, why don't you stay here with your subordinates?" ”

"What time is it?" Yang Ming asked.

Pei Yun glanced at the missing moment and said, "It's already Zi Shizheng, if the prince doesn't rest as soon as possible, he may not be energetic tomorrow." ”

Yang Ming frowned and nodded: "Then rest in your mansion for one night." ”

"Your Majesty is shining," Pei Yun was overjoyed, and hurriedly cleaned out a private room with his servants, and sent two of his favorite maids to serve Yang Ming.

Where Yang Ming lives, three layers inside and three layers outside, are wrapped by the guards of the East Palace, and the four Qianniu who follow Yang Ming are responsible for patrolling the surroundings, only Chen Kui is guarding outside the house, and no one is allowed to approach and disturb.

The two maids kneaded Yang Ming's body, and after he fell asleep, they lay on both sides of the bed and were responsible for the vigil.

The next day, Yang Ming announced Yang Hao's appointment and allowed him to participate in the court meeting.

After Yang Hao thanked him for his kindness, Yang Ming smiled and said:

"King Liang's experience is still shallow, and he still needs to be tempered, the sage said: There must be my teacher in the threesome, and King Liang will meet at the beginning of the court, and it is better to find a few masters."

Yang Hao hurriedly said: "King Guan is familiar with state affairs, and has been deeply involved in the court for 30 years. ”

Yang Xiong said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare, you can't afford to ask for advice, you and I should help each other and rely on each other, and grow together." ”

Then, the two exchanged a few more polite words.

In terms of blood, Yang Hao is closer to the current emperor, but Yang Xiong is too powerful and is the current leader of the clan.

And Yang Ming just wants Yang Xiong to carry Yang Hao more and train Yang Hao to become the next Yang Xiong.

The road is for you, and how far you can go depends on yourself.

Pei Renji was completely confused, because General Zuo Tunwei, he was bound to win, and he never wanted people to take the lead.

This Nima's, who wants to wait for the next opportunity, doesn't know what year or month it is.

The vacancy of the military general is not so easy, this thing will not be changed easily, even if it is changed, the specific candidate is also determined by the current form.

Pei Renji also knew in his heart that he had no status in the eyes of the prince, and if there was a shortage in the future, as long as the prince made up his mind, it would not be his turn.

The world is not powerful, you are the prince's father-in-law, didn't you say this hello to me at all?

The next appointment, Pei Renji was ecstatic instantly, his immediate boss Dugu Huaien, the general of the Right Prison Gate, was transferred to Taifu Temple as Shaoqing, the original two Shaoqing, Yun Dingxing did not move, and the other Yuanshou was demoted to Cheng.

In the main hall, Dugu Kai and Dugu Sheng glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

The two of them saw very clearly in their hearts that as long as Dugu Huaien was not wrong, it was impossible to be degraded, so there was only one reason, he took the initiative to apply to go to Taifu Temple.

This idiot, for your little bit of broken copper and iron, the general didn't do it? It's really a dou who can't be helped.

These two brothers are the retainers of the Dugu family, and they can't control Dugu Huaien, so they can only find Zhao Guogong Dugu to sue in the future.

As everyone knows, people are Dugu Huaien, so they don't take Dugu Su in their eyes.

Pei Renji saw the vacancy and gave Pei Yun a frantic look.

The Great Sui is not popular to recommend yourself, after all, it is influenced by Confucian culture, pays attention to the golden mean, others praise you, you can only say false praise, and rarely say: You are right.

But it is popular to recommend yourself, because it is unlikely that you want outsiders to recommend you, after all, everyone has a group of children who are waiting to be fed.

So Pei Yun stood up and said: "The minister recommended Pei Renji, the general of the right prison gate, and he was missing. ”

Yang Ming's gaze looked at Pei Renji, who hurriedly knelt on the ground:

"The minister's strength is thin and his talents are sparse, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take on this heavy responsibility."

"Since that's the case, let's discuss it another day," Yang Ming said: "After all, he is the chief general of the first house, and he still has to ask His Majesty." ”

Don't change the day? Shall we discuss it today? Bae Renji was stunned, can't you hear that I was just polite? As long as you agree, Your Majesty's side will probably agree.

Seeing this, Yang Xiong stood up and said: "The Right Prison Gate Mansion is a very important matter, and it is indeed necessary to consult Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will decide. ”

"That's it, Scatter Chao," Yang Ming got up and left.

Pei Renji was extremely frustrated, and after waiting for Pei Yun in the square, he pulled the other party aside and whispered:

"What do you mean by that, prince?"

Pei Yun said speechlessly: "I recommended you in the court, but it is just to build momentum for you in the future, if you can't go up this time, next time there is a shortage, maybe I will give priority to you, in fact, I knew from the beginning that this position is not yours." ”

"Why?" Pei Renji said.

Pei Yun smiled: "Who is the general of the Left Prison Sect Mansion?" ”

"It's Chen Guogong (Dou Kang)," Pei Renji said.

Pei Yun said again: "Then who is the right prison gate?" ”

"Didn't Pingxianghou just step down?" Pei Renji said anxiously: "Don't sell your good son, just say it." ”

Pei Yun smiled: "What do the two of them have in common?" ”

Pei Renji was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized: "I understand, this position is indeed not something I can covet." ”

Pei Yun smiled, took the other party's hand and walked out, and said:

"But next time if there is a vacancy elsewhere, your chances will be great, the prince will reject you once, will not refuse you a second time, in the final analysis, we are the prince's people, but sometimes, you can't be resentful because of the prince's refusal, what we think in our hearts and what the prince thinks in our hearts, that's the difference between cloud and mud."

"Don't say it, I was a little unconvinced just now, but it's much better now," Bae Renji said with a smile.

Pei Yun said: "Then you have to pay attention in the future, the prince can't rub sand in his eyes." ”
