Before the end of the year, Chen Shuyi received two million money from Hua and sent, all of which were deposited in the inner treasury of the East Palace.

She didn't have much to spend her money on, and she wasn't interested in money, so she handed it over to Yang Yinjiang to dispose of.

Chen Shuyi collected the money very happily this time, don't do it in vain, she now hopes to repair the relationship with the Yuwen family and provoke Yuwen Shu to break away from Yang Jun, and Chen Shuyi has been quietly collecting evidence of Yang Jun's crimes in private for so many years, she wants to wait until the day Yang Ming takes power and kill Yang Jun in one fell swoop.

In fact, killing a prince of Yang Jun's level, no matter how much evidence of the crime is, the key is still in Yang Ming, and Chen Shuyi believes that Yang Ming will not let Yang Ming go.

Approaching the end of the year, bad news came from Hedong, Xiao Maha died suddenly, he was fine that day, and he ate okay for dinner, but he didn't wake up the next day.

Xiao Maha's death was a huge blow to Chen Shuyi.

She wants to go to Hedong in person to mourn her master.

After Yu Wenshu learned of the situation, he hoped that his third son, Yu Wenshi, would personally escort Chen Shuyi on the road.

Yang Ming refused, but Chen Shuyi agreed, together, and Xiao Shilian, Yang Ming directly appointed Xiao Shilian to take over Xiao Maha's position, of course, this has to wait until the mourning period has passed.

"Shuyi doesn't need to be sad, Grandpa passed away at eighty-three, this is a joy and mourning, to live at this age, it is God's favor," Xiao Shilian comforted Chen Shuyi in the carriage.

The relationship between the two of them is very close, although there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, but in Xiao Shilian's eyes, Chen Shuyi is his sister.

After following Li Jing's expedition to Goguryeo, Xiao Shilian had already returned to Hedong, but was summoned by Yang Ming to be responsible for the security of the Qin Palace.

Chen Shuyi still kept crying, because in her heart, Xiao Maha was a relative.

Xiao Shilian sighed, stopped persuading, glanced back at the direction of Jingshi, and thought that he would return to Jingshi again, I don't know what year and month.

East Palace,

Yang Ming sighed and said: "There are so many people who have left this year, at the beginning of the year, it was Dugu Gong, Gao Xiaoji, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and then Guo Yan, Liang Bi, Changsun Chi, Xiao Maha, and now Han Seng Shou seems to be dying, Guan Wang has been recuperating recently, and a message has been sent from Jiangdu, Niu Hong has also fallen ill, alas"

Yang Yinjiang said on the side: "Maybe it's an expedition to Goguryeo, which consumes luck. ”

Yang Ming smiled: "Do you still believe these?" Birth, old age, sickness and death, when the time comes, how can there be any luck. ”

"When the time comes?" Yang Yinjiang muttered for a long time: "These four words are good, explain the fate of people in this life clearly, we will have such a day sooner or later, in the next life, do you still want me?" ”

"Is there a next life?" Yang Ming asked.

Yang Yinjiang nodded: "Yes, the Buddhist scriptures say: All beings in the Three Realms, reincarnation and six pleasures, like a wheel of fire, can be seen in this life, but can be continued in the next life." ”

Yang Ming said with a smile: "If there is an afterlife, the two of us had better go to a world where there are strange immortals, people can live for thousands of years, and we still have to meet in the province." ”

"Then let's make an appointment," Yang Yinjiang put her palm on Yang Ming's chest: "We'll see you or leave." ”

On November 18, Han Shengshou, the prince of Jiangdu County, passed away, and his eldest son Han Xiaoji failed to become a knight.

On November 25, Niu Hong passed away in Jiangdu, and his eldest son, Niu Fang, was a native of Shishe in Dafeng, and he was the Duke of Qizhang County.

Niu Hong's illness this time came very urgently, and Yang Guang didn't expect that people would not be able to do it if they said no.

Less than a month after returning home from illness, it is the farewell of the monarch and the minister.

Yang Guang was in a very bad mood, Niu Hong was a person, he didn't have much to see, but this person, the imperial court really couldn't be missing, and as soon as Niu Hong died, the Ministry of Shangshu and Taichang Siqing were vacant at the same time.

One is the head of the six divisions, and the other is the head of the eleven temples, who will take over?

The most suitable is Yuwen Shu and Lai Hu'er, but Li Yuan refused to let go this time, he stayed with Yang Guang every day, and he didn't say a word about the promotion, and kept talking about how good Dugu Jialuo was to him back then.

Is my mom treating you well, do you think I don't count in my heart? Yang Guang actually still has the intention to promote Li Yuan, but this time he is a secretary of the ministry, you can't do it, you can't even see the shadow of Niu Hong.

Yang Guang was also annoyed, and said directly to Li Yuan: "Taichang Temple, you can do it first." ”

Li Yuan was definitely not happy, but he also saw that the emperor's face was not good, and if he showed a little dissatisfaction, Taichang Temple would not have his share.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Yuan said on his knees, pouting his buttocks.

Three provinces and six departments, and eleven temples, this is essentially different, the former is the general government affairs and supervision agencies of the imperial court, the latter is the implementation of specific affairs of the body, to put it bluntly, three provinces and six departments to eleven temples, a bit of a superior unit meaning.

Yang Guang is looking at Li Yuan now, a little unpleasant, he is not right about people, don't look at it as a cousin, but he has some contempt for Li Yuan's character, so he said:

"Jing Zhaoyin will tell Yuwen, you don't have to go back to Beijing, just follow me."

Yes? One for one? I still want to do both, what else can Li Yuan say? can only admit it.

He originally thought that Taichang Temple would be Taichang Temple, didn't Niu Hong have a subordinate governor? You also give me one, so that I can be regarded as the prime minister.

But can Yang Guang give it? Give Nima a head.

At the moment, there are only three of them, Yang Xiong, Su Wei, Pei Ju, which one can you compare with?

As for the position of the official secretary, it is the top priority, Yang Guangsi thought about it and chose to give it to Yu Shiji, this person's talent is worthy of recognition, but his character is not very good.

Employing people, don't care about character, people are now Yang Guangqian's No. 3 horse boy, which is enough.

Niu Hong has a mansion in Jiangdu, and an official of this level is a state-allocated residence, Pei Ju and Su Wei left Niu Mansion and walked together, followed by the entourage of the two.

"Qiu He is back?" Su Wei asked.

The reason why he asked this was because Pei Xuanji was by Pei Ju's side right now, and Pei Xuanji ran back with Qiu He.

Pei Ju didn't speak, but Pei Xuanji said: "I came back with Pingcheng Gong, and I just entered the palace at noon to see Your Majesty." ”

Su Wei asked again: "Anti-thief Cen Mingxiu, what is the relationship with the Ning family?" ”

Pei Xuanji replied: "The implication is quite deep, although after this rebellion, he threatened that the Ning family was a thief in Lingnan, lured the wolf into the house, and kept saying that he wanted to fight Qinjiang Mansion, but I have investigated, the Cen family has always been dependent on the Ning family, and this rebellion, the Ning family is inseparable." ”

Su Wei nodded, glanced at Pei Ju, and said:

"Liren (Niu Hong) passed away, and in the future in the court, Shiju and I should take care of each other."

Pei Ju smiled and nodded: "You are the left servant, I listen to you." ”

"Hey, I'm old," Su Wei shook his head and sighed: "I'm three years older than Liren, seventy-one this year, and now it's a day to live, I don't know which day, I can't lift my legs." ”

Pei Ju is six years younger than Su Wei, and he is not too young, but he can't stand the fact that these two people are both long-lived.

In history, Su Wei lived eighty-two, and Pei Ju lived eighty.

At their level, it's okay if you can't walk, and they will carry you into the palace for deliberations, as long as your mind is still spinning.

People are getting older and more sophisticated, and they have experienced a lot of things, and when they encounter anything, the way to deal with it is definitely much more secure than that of young people.

That's why, the older the official, the older the age, because only at that age can you have the ability to sit in that position.

After parting ways, Pei Xuanji whispered:

"Father, there is news from Jingshi's side that Feng Deyi has been kicked out of the East Palace, which shows that the prince can't bear Yang Xuan's arrogance anymore."

Pei Ju smiled: "You can't think like that, no one can shake the mystery right now, the grandson of the family is the eldest of the crown prince, just by virtue of this, as long as it is not a rebellion, no one will move him." ”

"I can't move the Xuan sense, Sister will never come out in the East Palace," Pei Xuanji said.

Pei Ju smiled: "Don't think about this now, let's talk about it when Yang Yue is dead." ”

"Yang Yue's old thief has done all kinds of evil, but he also has a long life, and now he is in good health, when he dies, I don't know when he will wait," Pei Xuanji said:

"Our family Jin'er, I look better than that Yang Rui, but I can only study at Wang Tong, alas."

Pei Ju said lightly: "Wang Tong's set is in line with the future situation of the country, and I also asked Jin'er to worship Wang Tong as a teacher, Your Majesty and the prince are both the style of Emperor Wu, and after the martial arts, it will be Xingwen, and the prince will reform the scientific examination again, which is to pave the way for the future, Wang Tong's proposition is the most appropriate, don't worry, the prince hasn't gone up yet, no matter how much you want now, it's useless." ”

Pei Xuanji nodded: "Right now, in the East Palace, Xuangan and they have been weakened, should we find a way to arrange some of our own people to go in." ”

Pei Ju suddenly frowned, and snorted coldly: "Do you think the prince is very easy to get along with?" Now anyone can move, so we can't move, lest they feel that they will sprinkle their anger on us, don't cause trouble to your sister, it is not easy for her to maintain it so far. ”

Pei Xuanji, who was reprimanded, nodded: "My son doesn't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Qiu He is still relying on Yang Guang at the moment, he wants to replace the wheat iron rod and attack Lingnan, after all, he ran back in disgrace, nominally losing the city and land, and he couldn't hold his face, and wanted to atone for his sins.

Yang Guang is not an unreasonable person, he knows that it is not your fault, but it is impossible to replace the wheat iron rod.

Do you think I'm talking like a fart? The head of the march has long been decided, and now you want me to change? How old are you?

"Mai Tiezhu and Xin Shixiong, I'm worried that Feng Ang will change, so let's take a team of men and horses, enter Guiyang County, and keep an eye on Feng An," Yang Guang said.

Qiu He nodded: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how many soldiers and horses are there in the courtiers?" ”

"You go to Jingzhou, requisition from the military government, and borrow the grain and grass from the local Taishou," Yang Guang said lightly.

Qiu He was dumbfounded, good guy, who is willing to lend me food these days?

If you don't want me to go, just say it, let me go and ask for food?
