After getting off the court meeting, Yang Ming followed behind his father's ass and walked slowly towards Yong'an Palace.

Yang Guang put his hand in front of him and asked lightly:

"In your opinion, how should the problem of Lingnan be solved?"

Yang Ming said: "Back to my father, in the south of the five mountains, the people are mixed, the people are strong and cowardly, the rich are merged, the servants are poor and weak, and the prisoners are not taboo, and the situation in the Central Plains is far from the same. ”

Yang Guang said with a smile: "These important ministers you are talking about, do you mean Feng Ang and Ning Changzhen?" ”

"There are them, but it's not just them," Yang Ming said: "Pei Ju is right, the imperial court's administrative power over the counties in Lingnan must be in his hands, but if you want to hold it, you still have to give in and decentralize power and allow its local autonomy." ”

Yang Guang suddenly frowned: "Lingnan, the land is vast and sparsely populated, although most of them are barbarians, but the products are rich, this place, the imperial court needs to be governed early, if it is allowed to be autonomous, the policy of the imperial court is an empty shelf in Lingnan, how to govern it?" ”

Yang Ming said: "To govern the locality, to govern the people first, as long as the people of Lingnan feel that it is beneficial for them to obey the laws of the imperial court, then the policy can be implemented smoothly. ”

"Your method is too conservative," Yang Guang couldn't help but laugh: "How difficult it is to capture the hearts of the people, you don't understand, the court is appeased, those local heroes are demolishing your platform behind your back, what should you do?" ”

Yang Ming said with a smile: "This capture of Erchen's heart also includes the strong family. ”

"That's not going to work," Yang Guang flicked his sleeves and continued to walk forward: "The heart of the strong, the heart of the people, you want to have both, but it's actually a dilemma, you can only choose one, which one do you choose?" ”

Yang Ming sighed and said: "In terms of the actual situation, we should choose to appease Haoqiang." ”

Yang Guang nodded and said: "This is the only way, remember, this world is mine, and the future will be yours, but the people who govern the world are those who are powerful and powerful, as long as they are loyal to the court, then the people under their rule are also loyal, I found that you kid cares about public opinion very much, and you haven't read much?" The Confucian set is used to do things, not for you to believe, those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world, this people's heart, not the heart of the people, but the heart of the family. ”

Yang Ming frowned and said: "Today, my Great Sui people are 55 million, how many scholars are there?" How many powerful families are there? With the support of all the people, the country will be skewed, father, the heart of the people is the heart of the people, and it must not be lost. ”

"Haha." Yang Guang smiled heartily: "Our family is also from a rebellious background, how can such a great sage like you pop up?" I ask you, how do you take into account the people's feelings in today's situation? You are in Beijing, sitting in the Daxing Palace, how far away the people's hearts are, what you see when you open your eyes, are the hearts of the family, do you see the people's hearts? ”

"See," Yang Ming nodded.

Yang Guang smiled and shook his head: "Your idea is good, the family is a mountain between me and the people, this mountain has its advantages and its disadvantages, the advantage is that they can help me govern the people, the disadvantage is that they also control the people's hearts, but this mountain, you can't move away, you can only divide them into several small hills, the mountains are small, I can see the people's hearts, and the torrent of the people's hearts, they also help me block, don't think that the people's hearts are good, in fact, it is very terrible." ”

"If all the people of the world follow the law, how can the people's hearts be terrible?" Yang Ming said.

Yang Guang said with a smile: "That's why the law is the foundation of the country and the art of controlling the people, but don't expect too much, after all, below, those magistrates are the law." ”

Yang Ming took the opportunity to say: "Erchen thinks that in this year's imperial examination, the number of people to be raised should be increased, and more people should be selected from poor families, so as to open up a way for them to rise, and first win the hearts of scholars." ”

Yang Guang nodded and smiled: "The world is in a high position, handsome and subordinate, the terrain makes it so, it is not a once, this year's scientific expedition, I have full authority to hand over to you, you do it." ”

After that, Yang Guang patted his son on the shoulder: "Go visit your queen mother and tell her that I have gone to the Manna Palace." ”

Yang Ming nodded, bowed down and watched his father leave.

Yong'an Palace, Yang Ming met Comrade Yang Yong here.

This kid has nothing to do at the moment except for stammering his mother, Yang Guang is very smart and does not give this second son any rights.

"Yo, the second brother is also here," Yang Ming sat down opposite Yang Yun, his elbows on his knees, and looked at Queen Xiao and said, "The Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival is coming, what gift do you want, Erchen will go down and prepare it for you." ”

Yang Jun smiled on the side: "When you give a gift to your mother, you have to ask in advance?" I said, third, you're insincere. ”

Empress Xiao hurriedly said: "A-Niang doesn't lack anything, as long as your brothers are good, A-Niang will be very happy." ”

Yang Ming said with a smile: "The Thousand Autumn Festival is the great celebration of the country, A-Niang has worked hard for half her life, raising children, your festival, all the people should congratulate it." ”

Empress Xiao smiled, summoned her youngest daughter Yang Qi, and said with a smile: "Ciyin is also fourteen years old this year, and it's time to choose a horse, but A-Niang didn't look at it, you brothers usually have to have more snacks and help pick one." ”

The brothers hurriedly nodded.

Yang Qi can be regarded as the most noble unmarried daughter in today's Great Sui, the daughter of Yang Guang and his wife.

But this princess doesn't show her head much on weekdays, and she is basically raised in the deep palace and no one knows her.

Historically, she would become Li Shimin's Yang concubine, and gave birth to Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Su, the king of Shu, at that time, Li Shimin's harem, there were three surnamed Yang, Yang Su's fourth son, Yang Xuan's daughter, Yang Xuan's daughter, Yang Guang's second daughter, Yang Qi, Yang Fei's concubine, and Yang Xiong's sixth son, Yang Gongdao's daughter, Jieyu.

How was Wu Zetian elected to the palace? It was introduced by Yang Jieyu.

Yang Ming and his own sister are not very familiar, mainly because of the age gap, that is, when they usually meet, they can talk, but Yang Qi is too quiet and has too few words, so the communication between the brother and sister is pitiful.

But that doesn't affect that this is his own sister.

"Wait another year, Shimin's kid is also fourteen this year, and his son thinks that Shimin should be the best choice for the horse," Yang Ming suggested.

Empress Xiao frowned suddenly, it was not that she didn't like Li Shimin, but she didn't like Li Shimin's mother, because the Dou family left a bad impression on her.

When the family discussed Yang Chan's marriage, the Dou family hoped that the eldest son Jiancheng would marry Yang Chan, but at that time, Li Yuanguan was too young and Empress Xiao couldn't look down on her.

But now they are on the fence.

Seeing this, Yang Xuan hurriedly said: "I said the third child, isn't it such a partiality method?" What do you want to do with Li Yuan? What good did he give you? I heard that the kid went to the East Palace to follow up the gate of his house, and you want to hold their family up to the sky? ”

Yang Ming didn't pay attention to him at all, but continued to look at Empress Xiao and said:

"Shimin is a good child, he has been studying with Yang Rui since he was a child, and his mother can often see him, so he knows that this son is extraordinary."

As soon as he finished saying this, the expression on Yang Qi's face changed slightly, and Yang Ming was stunned when he saw it in his eyes, good guy, you have already taken a fancy to it?

Yang Ming was surprised and said, "Ciyin has seen Shimin? ”

"Huh?" Yang Qi suddenly had nothing to do, lowered his head and grabbed the corner of his clothes, and whispered: "I often go to look for Yinghui, and I have seen Shimin many times. ”

Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are aunt, what are you going to do with Yang Rui?" ”

Of course, it's to play with them, what else can you do? Yang Qi and Yang Rui, although they are different in generation, but there is not much difference in age, and Yang Qi has no friends in the palace, so he naturally goes to find relatives to pass the time, although this relative is her own nephew.

Empress Xiao couldn't cry or laugh, she didn't know that her daughter often went to the East Palace, but she didn't expect her daughter to react when she heard the name Li Shimin.

When the mother naturally sees that the girl likes the other party.

"Ciyin's family affairs, don't worry, A-Niang is such a child, she hasn't landed yet, she must choose the best for her," Queen Xiao said: "I'll go back and ask what your father means, and then make a decision." ”

Yang Ming nodded and said, "It's really not in a hurry." ”

Yang Jun snorted coldly: "I kind of understand, the third child, you are scheming, you are talking to Li Shimin, it is clear that you are paving the way for your son." ”

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Second brother thinks too much, Yang Rui's road, it's not my turn to pave it, my father has been thinking about it." ”

The corners of Yang Yun's mouth twitched, and after getting up and saluting his mother, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Cui Hongjun's daughter, it seems that she went to the East Palace, don't worry, second brother, Yin will take care of her," Yang Ming said lightly.

When Empress Xiao heard this, she was just puzzled and didn't think much about it, but Yang Yun stopped, turned around and smiled:

"It's all family, why should I worry?"

Yang Ming smiled and nodded: "How old is Cui Lingzi's son this year?" ”

Yang Yun's face changed: "Don't you even know how old your own nephew is?" ”

"I'm busy with state affairs and neglect," Yang Ming said with a smile: "Since the construction of the Eastern Capital, I have ignored too many things for so many years. ”

At this moment, Empress Xiao also heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly said:

"Okay, knowing that you are working hard, didn't your father let you recuperate? Take a good rest and take care of your body, A-Niang has lost Zhao'er, and I can't allow you two brothers to make the slightest mistake. ”

Yang Ming heard the meaning, nodded and got up and said, "Don't bother the queen mother, the son will retire." ”

Empress Xiao nodded.

Yang Ming came to Yang Ming, who was still in place, patted the other party's shoulder and said, "What? Isn't the second brother leaving? ”

Yang Jun took the opportunity to turn his head and glanced at his mother, and Empress Xiao hurriedly handed him a quick look.

"Of course you want to go, you can invite it first," Yang said with a smile.

Yang Ming let out a meaningful hehe, turned around and left.

Empress Xiao hurriedly waved her hand, and Yang Jun also hurriedly followed.

"Ah Niang, the second brother and the third brother seem to be a little wrong," Yang Qi asked suspiciously after the others left.

Empress Xiao frowned and said, "Nonsense, your two elder brothers are fine." ”
