At the daily court meeting, the rampant bandits in various places have never stopped, and there are even many places where soldiers and bandits collude to plunder the wealth of the people.

Why? The military government has no salary, and the court owes too much money to give it, but the government also has a lot of public land, which can only feed the people in the yamen, but not the people in the military government.

Therefore, the yamen can only turn a blind eye.

The Great Sui is a military system, a soldier in wartime, a farmer in leisure time, and now it is a leisure time, there are actually not many people in the military government, most of them have gone home to farm, and it stands to reason that there should not be such a mess.

However, isn't Yuwenshu a conscription?

Once conscripted, the peasant households in the military service can go to the military government to pick up the equipment they have stored there, and with the equipment, people have more ideas.

In the case that the imperial court did not recruit soldiers, those who issued weapons without authorization by the military government were beheaded, so no one dared to take this risk, but after conscription, it was logical to distribute weapons.

Then the hussar generals of the military government will think, there are so many poor ghosts under me, and I can't control the military salary every day, what should I do? Take them to get some money and stabilize them first.

Bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and those who are soldiers are much more ruthless than bandits when they kill people and oversell goods.

"At this juncture, such a thing can only be ignored, if you really want to send someone down to strictly investigate, the conscription matter will be affected, and Your Majesty can't explain it," Yang Gongren said at the court meeting.

This is just the beginning of conscription, and problems have emerged one after another, just like the expedition to Goguryeo, the number of deserters is very terrifying, and it can't be suppressed.

Cui Zhongfang's face was even more gloomy and said: "The grain that Jingzhou originally used for disaster relief has now been transferred to Luoyang, Jiangxia County and Yong'an County have already had civil unrest, and the guards of the military government have been requisitioned and transferred away. ”

Lu Chu said: "Jiangdu has already received news that Jiangnan's taxes for next year have been requisitioned, and all budgets need to be abolished and reorganized." ”

As soon as you say it, as soon as I say it, Yang Ming's head is big when he listens.

It was a good start, but because of my father's northern expedition, he was instantly made a mess, and the money promised to Hebei, don't think about it, Hebei is not appeased well, and something big will happen.

Yang Ming leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes in contemplation, as if he was deaf to the sound of the court.

Now few people have the courage to directly confront Yang Guang, because Comrade Yang Guang said a long time ago: I don't like people's advice.

Wei Zheng has this heart, and he doesn't have the courage right now, because the prince's power is down, he has no support, and he doesn't dare to take this head at all.

Yu Wenshu said in a deep voice: "You still have to think of a way to minimize the impact of the Northern Expedition on administrative and civil affairs, the prince once said that there are always more ways than difficulties, big things are small, and small things are eliminated, which is my duty as a courtier." ”

"You said lightly," Cui Zhongfang said: "A sentence is an understatement, the state affairs and people's feelings are as important as a mountain, not to make a fuss with a pen, and it can be done with a few strokes, just in Tianshui County, the Zhao family has killed more than 400 people, has the civil unrest stopped?" This is still in Guanzhong, and other places can be imagined. ”

After saying that, Cui Zhongfang looked at Yang Ming and pleaded in a pleading tone: "Prince, you can persuade Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to mobilize the people next year, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos." ”

"Nonsense!" Yang Yue frowned and said, "I said Cui Gong, you can't talk nonsense, why is the world in chaos?" Besides, as courtiers, how can you embarrass the prince? The crown prince is the son of His Majesty, you can do this kind of thing, but you can't let the prince do it. ”

Cui Zhongfang shook his head helplessly, and Yu Wenshu hurriedly reassured:

"Cui Gong is worried about state affairs, is our example, but things have priorities, local difficulties, difficult for a while, the trouble in the north, but it is a disease of the heart, the long pain is better than the short pain, after the defeat of the Eastern Turks next year, I have no external troubles, I can focus on civil affairs, govern the locality, and heal the hearts of the people."

Cui Zhongfang grinned: "If you don't want the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be the book, Xu Guogong will do it, right?" ”

"Yes," Yang Ming said suddenly.

Cui Zhongfang was dumbfounded, and the others also looked at Yang Ming with incredulous expressions.

I saw Yang Ming slowly sit up straight, and said: "Cui Gong naturally still has to work hard, but Xu Guogong can do the civil affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so that it is convenient for him to recruit the army and logistics people, so it is decided." ”

The corners of Yu Wenshu's mouth twitched, he guessed that the prince was unloading the burden on Cui Zhongfang, but you can't put it on my head? In the future, there will be a mess, and I will be responsible for all the infamy?

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, although Yu Wenshu knew that if he could do the civil affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he would save a lot of trouble, but he also knew that this burden could not be accepted, it was too heavy.

So he hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't have this ability, and he still needs Cui Gong's ability to work hard." ”

Cui Zhongfang hurriedly said: "I will naturally help from the side, but the major matters still have to be decided by Xu Guogong, after all, Your Majesty has entrusted it to you." ”

He also saw the stitches and hurriedly threw off the burden, because Cui Zhongfang knew that it was inevitable that there would be chaos in various places in the future, and he couldn't afford such a big responsibility.

Because the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of money, people all over the world will only open their mouths to ask him for money, if Yu Wenshu can do the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Cui Zhongfang will also be convenient to shake the pot.

It's not that I didn't give you money, but Xu Guogong took it.

Yang Ming said: "Xu Guogong is responsible for coordinating all matters of the Northern Expedition, I still have to try to make it as convenient as possible for you, so don't shirk it, otherwise the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can't be the master, and if you delay the major event of the Northern Expedition, Your Majesty will probably blame." ”

What else can Yu Wenshu say? During this time, he asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs for money, Cui Zhongfang delayed for various reasons, and he took the initiative to find the prince himself, and asked the prince to help maneuver from it.

It's just that he didn't expect that the prince would let him directly intervene in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is equivalent to temporarily serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which does not conflict with Cui Zhongfang's substantive position, and it is mainly based on Cui Zhongfang.

But he knows that Cui Zhongfang will throw himself an idea about anything in the future.

"The prince has an order, but the minister doesn't dare to refuse, so he can only reluctantly embarrass him," Yu Wenshu nodded.

Yang Ming continued: "This time in the northern expedition, Your Majesty's will is to levy 500,000 troops, of which 200,000 are cavalry, and another 1.2 million people will be recruited to be responsible for logistics support. ”

Yang Guang's northern expedition was from Luoyang, the soldiers were divided into three routes, all the way to Yulin, all the way through Jinyang, all the way to Zhuojun, the three road marching chiefs were Yu Zhongwen on the west road, Yuwen on the middle road, and Hu'er on the east road, and Yang Guang himself was the generalissimo of the march.

Among them, Yu Zhongwen's chief manager Shi is Yu Shiji, deputy chief manager Wei Xuan, Yu Wenshu's chief manager Shi is Yang Yue, deputy chief manager Yu Juluo, and the chief manager of Laihu'er is Pei Ju, and deputy chief manager Zhang Jin.

It can be said that it is an ace lineup.

With this lineup, as long as there is no accident in the rear, it will win 100% of the situation, but there is an accident.

Yang Ming himself didn't expect that Yang Xuangan would be in charge of the general dispatch of Luoyang's grain and grass, isn't this the same position as when Xuangan rebelled in history?

What did their uncle and nephew do behind their backs to make Yang Guang arrange it like this?

Yang Ming hadn't had time to ask them yet.

After the court meeting, Yang Ming specially called his uncle and nephew.

"Luoyang's dispatch of grain and grass, Xuan Gan tried to find a way to push it away, don't go, let Dugu do it," Yang Ming said in a deep voice.

Yang Xuan was stunned: "This is Your Majesty's will, if I refuse, Your Majesty will not spare me." ”

"What the hell are you trying to do?" Yang Ming slapped the table abruptly and said, "I warn you two, don't mess around." ”

Yang Yue smiled: "Your Highness, don't worry, we will never come nonsense, Your Highness is really worried." ”

Yang Ming's eyes narrowed, looked at their uncle and nephew, and said coldly: "I can tell you, think more about Yin Jiang in everything, and your family will have to count on Yinghui in the future." ”

Yang Yue nodded and said: "The minister never dares to forget for a moment, let alone do anything that implicates Yin Jiang, Your Highness, you know me, I never do things that I am not sure of." ”

Yang Ming looked helpless: "Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old boat, if you dare to mess around, I will be the first to kill you." ”

"Your Highness, what did you say?" Yang Xuangan said with a look of surprise: "I'm a grain officer, what can I mess with?" I don't want to go, but I don't dare to resist His Majesty's will. ”

It seems that most of Xuan Gan still doesn't know, so all this is arranged by Yang Yue, an old boy, behind his back.

With Yang Yue's character, since Yang Su's death, people are reluctant to join the army anymore, and Yang Guang doesn't like to use Yang Yue, this time the arrangement is so abrupt, it can be seen that there is a lot of greasy inside.

However, Yang Ming's caution towards Yang Yue is still reassured, this old boy is very stable, and he will definitely not mess around if he doesn't have a chance.

"Your concubine daughter is about to give birth, you can go and visit," Yang Ming made an excuse and took Yang Xuangan away.

Yang Yinjiang's dowry daughter, Yang Yuru, is Xuangan's concubine.

When only Yang Ming and Yang Yue were left, Yang Yue took the initiative to speak:

"Looking at the current situation, there may be a big chaos next year, Dugu Gong once said when he was alive, if His Majesty abuses the people's power again and again, the disaster of the Great Sui is not far away, Hebei and Shandong, can not withstand another toss, and if you come again, it will be a fire of the prairie fire, and Your Highness must prepare in advance."

Yang Ming admired Yang Yue's vision, and nodded when he heard this: "Logistics cannot be guaranteed, if you forcibly march north, there will inevitably be a fire in the backyard, but I don't know how big this fire will burn, you follow Yuwenshu, don't be restrained, and you will not be defeated in foreign wars, otherwise the consequences will be even more unimaginable." ”

Yang Yue nodded and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, please remember that if there is civil unrest in the place in the future, you must not leave Guanzhong, I let Xuangan go to the Eastern Capital, which is to ensure that Luoyang is not lost, as long as the Jingshi and the Eastern Capital are stable, the world can be determined." ”

The civil unrest is almost a certainty, the expedition to Goguryeo, the food is rich enough, and Shandong and Hebei are the opposite, what about now? Leaking wind and rain, it's called hell if you don't mess up.

Yang Ming let out a long sigh: "You are also old, be careful to die halfway." ”

Yang Yue laughed: "Even if the minister is about to end his life, he will take a breath and rush back to Beijing to see His Highness for the last time." ”
