Chapter 682 The emphasis is on the Ministry of Civil Affairs

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the treasury was spent three million, which is called everything simple.

The excitement of this festival will last until the eighteenth day of the first month, and it is actually a good thing for the people to have a good holiday.

Therefore, Yang Ming is not reluctant to hold a big festival, he does spend a lot of money, but he is happy from top to bottom, which is better than anything.

Happiness is really precious.

Wufeng Tower, heavy snow, Yang Ming sat under the eaves with a cloak, looking at the grand scenery in the eastern capital.

He knows very well that in the future, he will live this life alone in his heart, he doesn't like this kind of life, but he has no choice.

"The day of Yuan Tiangang's hexagram calculation is the twenty-eighth day of the first month," Yang Yinjiang on the side said: "Yinghui is already about to get married, and time flies so fast, I especially remember that when I was pregnant with him, I followed my husband from Jingzhou to Beijing, and it was really painful all the way." ”

Yang Rui smiled and said: "I heard my grandfather say that when A-Niang was young, she was the first beauty in Beijing, I think it is superficial, she should be the first beauty in the world, and she is tied for the first place with Aunt Pei." ”

Pei Shuying suddenly raised her eyebrows: "What are you pulling me for?" Your grandfather is talking nonsense, your Aunt Chen is a great beauty. ”

"Awards," Chen Shuyi pouted and smiled.

On the city tower, Yang Ming's children were originally here, but some wanted to go to the city to see the excitement, so they left one after another, and now only Yang Rui, Yang Jin and Yang Yizhen remain.

Yang Jin rested his hands on the women's wall of the city gate, looked at Luoyang City quite proudly, and said:

"My brother is returning to Beijing from Jingzhou, and I am returning to Beijing from Luoyang, both of them have suffered my mother, and today is the Shangyuan Festival, I should kowtow to my mothers."

With that, Yang Jin turned around, knelt down towards Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying, and kowtowed three times.

As for Yang Rui, he knelt down for his father:

"The child is about to get married, and after marrying a wife, he will move out of the East Palace, and the father must cherish his body."

I'm only thirty-one, and the days are long, isn't it too early to talk about cherishing the body now, Yang Ming smiled:

"Remember, you have to be kind to your wife, but whether inside or outside, it's you who makes the decision, I don't worry about Yang Jin, I'm only worried about you."

Yang Rui is a licking dog, Yang Jin is an out-and-out machismo, and it is impossible to expect him to listen to his daughter-in-law.

Yang Rui nodded with a hippie smile.

Yang Yinjiang said: "Ruyan's marriage should also be taken seriously, he is only one year younger than Yinghui, and now it is time for Zhang Luo." ”

Yang Ming nodded: "The queen mother wants to call the shots in this matter, don't complain, let her old man arrange it." ”

Yang Yinjiang and Pei Shuying immediately frowned, Queen Xiao wanted to call the shots, and most of them chose girls from the Xiao family, which was not happy for the two of them in the north.

The living habits of the north and the south are very different, and Yang and Pei often can't talk to Queen Xiao together, but Shen Wuhua and Chen Shuyi have a common language with Queen Xiao.

Last year, the southern rebellion caused the Jiangnan family to be damaged, especially the Xiao family, a big traitor Xiao Miao, Guanzhong still distrusts the southerners and feels unreliable.

Although Yang Yinjiang knew very well in her heart that Yang Ming had the intention to promote the integration of the north and the south, which was also a national event, she felt that the Pei family definitely did not want Yang Jin to marry a southern girl.

At this time, Yang Jin suddenly said: "My son also has a favorite girl, can my father help me intercede with the imperial grandmother?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, good guy, I've really grown up, I don't have to worry about finding a partner at all, you have it too?

Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh and said, "Tell me, whose girl is it?" ”

Yang Jin said: "The granddaughter of Gu'an Gong (Cui Zhongfang), the daughter of Cui Mintao of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Cui Yi." ”

Pei Shuying was dumbfounded, knowing that Yang Jin was definitely greeted by his father, because Cui Mintao is now the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he is recognized as the most proficient talent in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he is also the eight candidates in Yang Ming's heart in the future.

Yang Ming couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth, you really know how to find it, the second room of the Boling Cui family, the first class of the gate valve in the early Tang Dynasty, and the crown of the world's corporal clan in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.

You are looking for the sister of Cui Dunli, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in history, Pei Ju, Pei Ju, you are quite long-term.

Cui Zhongfang's family is particularly powerful, mainly because Cui Zhongfang is too awesome, the strategy of destroying Qi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the formulation of the fire virtue among the five elements of the Great Sui Dynasty, the official system of the three provinces and six departments, the policy of Ping Chen, and the disaster relief strategy of Jingzhou are all his handwriting.

Originally, according to the system, immediate family members could not serve in the same department, but Yang Ming still let Cui Mintao go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, because this person is a super talent in civil affairs and finance.

Don't look at Pei Yun is now the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yang Ming will let Cui Mintao go up sooner or later.

Yang Yinjiang was also surprised, Cui Yi is a girl she knows, she is fourteen years old this year, she has long been eyeing it, thinking of keeping it for the third Yang Qi, who would have thought that Yang Jin would fall in love with it?

Cui Zhongfang is Li Mi's own uncle, and Yang Yinjiang has already asked Li Mi to say hello, but now it seems that you have to give way, otherwise your husband and Ah Yun will be unhappy.

In last year's Hebei Rebellion, it was Qinghe Cui who made a big effort on the surface, but their family was somewhat of a tiger and sat and watched the situation, but Bo Lingcui has been trying to find a way to support and protect his children.

The attitude was good from the beginning.

Yang Ming smiled bitterly and said: "You go and tell the imperial grandmother yourself, she spoils you, and she will naturally consider your thoughts, and it is not appropriate for me and your aunt to talk about it." ”

Yang Jin was silent for a long time and nodded: "Then I'll go now." ”

This kid is the kind of fiery character, with his mother, he does everything he says, never procrastinates, he is a very creative person, but he also has a lack of consideration and is prone to mistakes.

On Empress Xiao's side, with a group of close ministers and ladies in the palace, she sat on the highest watchtower in Ziwei City, overlooking the night view of Luoyang in the snow.

"When the snow stops, there will be a period of cold days, and the cotton clothes will be easy to sell," Xiao Yu said with a smile: "But this year's finances are still very tight, and the prince is also busy." ”

Empress Xiao said lightly: "It's a good festival, don't talk about these unhappy things, it's rare for me to relax for a few days, can't you let me have a good holiday?" ”

"What Sister said is that my brother is talking too much," Xiao Yu hurriedly said.

Twelve-year-old Zhao Wang Yang Gao suddenly pointed to a group of vague pedestrians in the square in the distance, and said, "That figure is so familiar, it seems to be Ruyan." ”

Empress Xiao squinted her eyes and looked over, the corners of her mouth curled slightly: "Even if this palace doesn't hurt him in vain, I know that I came to accompany me." ”

Xiao Yu hurriedly said: "Then King Wei's family affairs, do you want to mention it to him tonight." ”

"You say, I'll see this kid's reaction, he's a straight guy, if he's not happy, he'll say it directly," Empress Xiao nodded.

So who is Queen Xiao's favorite candidate? Chen Shubao's fourth son, also the heir to the duke of Changcheng County, Chen Yuan's daughter, and Chen Shuyi's niece.

In history, his name was Chen Shen, because he wanted to avoid Li Yuan's name, but he didn't need it in this life.

Chen Yuan was originally a taishou in Caohan County, but now he has gone to Qinghe County to replace Xie Wen and serve as Qinghe Taishou.

Xie Wen is Yang Guang's Qianniu Reserve, and in Yang Ming's place, he can no longer be used, and he was transferred to Taifu Temple as Shaoqing.

Why Chen Yuan? Because Chen Yuan's daughter-in-law is the daughter of Xiao Jing, another younger brother of Queen Xiao.

Then Chen Yuan's daughter is equivalent to the common bloodline of the Chen family and the Xiao family.

Yang Yinjiang guessed correctly, Queen Xiao wanted to choose a daughter-in-law for Yang Jin from the south.

After Yang Jin ascended the stairs, he first asked Queen Xiao to say goodbye, and then sat next to Yang Gao and whispered, he has a straight personality, but he is not stupid, he will definitely not show his intention as soon as he comes up, otherwise Queen Xiao will think, you kid is not here to accompany me? It's looking for me.

Don't look at Yang Gao is two years younger than Yang Jin, Yang Jin has to be called uncle, Yang Gao was born as the dowry daughter of Queen Xiao, which is basically equal to a concubine.

After chatting a few words of gossip, Xiao Yu went straight to the point and said:

"King Qin is going to get married this year, and the marriage of His Royal Highness Second Highness should also be put on the agenda."

Good guy, I haven't said it yet, you told me for me first? Yang Jin nodded on the topic and said:

"The daughter of Cui Mintao of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Cui Yi, is quiet and gentle, gentle and gentle, and can be a princess."

Queen Xiao's sister and brother were stunned for a moment, do you also have a match? Emotional eldest grandson and second grandson, I can't be the master?

"No way!" Empress Xiao said categorically.

In today's situation, Yang Rui's status is unshakable, so the marriage of other grandsons cannot be stronger than Yang Rui, don't think that Cui Yi is bad, the granddaughter of the head of the Boling Cui family has a very high status.

Wei Jue has no father after all, no matter how good his background is, without the protection of his father, he will definitely not be able to compare to having a father.

Empress Xiao knew that her third child had taken advantage of this advantage, and with the full support of Hongnong Yang and Hedong Pei, she pressed the second child so that she couldn't hold her head up for more than ten years, if Yang Jin married Cui Yi, she would undoubtedly get a strong boost from Hebei, which was not a good thing for Yang Rui.

If Yang Guang is fine, this marriage is okay, but isn't Yang Guang in an accident? You must know that Yang Ming has never called Yang Jin Ruyan, which shows that Yang Ming is also protecting Yang Rui's status.

Yang Jin was stunned and said, "Grandmother thinks it's inappropriate?" ”

"No," Empress Xiao said.

Yang Jin frowned and said, "Why is it inappropriate?" ”

"No, why," Empress Xiao didn't want to explain, and she didn't feel the need to explain: "Your grandmother is in charge of marriage, the daughter of Chen Yuan, the prince of Changcheng County, I think it's very suitable." ”

Shen Wuhua on the side also said: "King Wei might as well see it first, maybe you will like it." ”

Yang Jin frowned and stopped talking.

Pei Shuying guessed correctly, marrying Cui Yi was Pei Ju's idea, Pei Ju is too powerful, and he has long seen that Cui Mintao will definitely be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

Why? There will be no war in the future, the country will need to recuperate and recover for more than ten years in the future, so the Ministry of Civil Affairs is the top priority, he guessed that Yang Ming had the intention of moving Pei Yun, so the successor, the eight achievements are Cui Mintao.

If Yang Jin marries Cui Mintao's daughter, Pei Ju will be very easy to handle in the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Yang Jin studied under Wang Tong, and the route he took was in the same direction as the future national policy, which coincided with Cui Mintao's political line.

Whoever can control the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the future will be the head of the court.

This is where Pei Ju is awesome, many years ago, he judged which direction Da Sui should go, so he found Wang Tong as a teacher for Yang Jin.

Wang Tong has now been promoted by the crown prince to be the priest of the country, and his ideas of governing the country will gradually be taught to the students of the country, laying the foundation for the future direction of the country.

And Wang Tong's mother, who was born in the Pei family in Hedong, is Pei Ju's sister.
