Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 272
Yang Ming also went to Wei Mansion to mourn Wei Chong and comfort Wei Ting by the way.

In front of Yang Guang that day, Yang Ming once spoke for him, so Wei Ting was very grateful, and afterwards sent Yang Ming out of the house with great respect.

People over fifty don't die, and Wei Chong died at the age of 68, which is actually considered a long life. Of course, if it wasn't for the sudden sudden death of Princess Qi, he should still live for a few more years.

Therefore, Wei Ting's resentment was concentrated on Yang Hao. If Yang Hao hadn't messed around, their family would not be what it is now.

Three days later, the court meeting was held as scheduled.

Yang Guang never mentioned this matter, and the people below dared not mention it, everyone acted as if it hadn't happened.

But Yang Guang had already made up his mind that when Tokyo was built, he would go to Luoyang to deal with Yang Hao.

During Yang Jian's period, when any official position was vacant, when to fill it, you had to wait until Yang Jian found a suitable candidate.

Yang Guang basically inherited Naifu's political thinking, so he often does the same thing, but now, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the supply of the canal, and someone must preside over it, otherwise the King Qi will be in chaos in Luoyang position, so that it affects the opening of the canal.

Yang Guang already had a suitable candidate in his mind, but he still wanted to hear what these ministers thought.

First of all, he turned his attention to his son. Yang Guang was very interested in whom Yang Ming would recommend.

Although Yang Ming would veto the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, no matter who he recommended, because he would not let the third child reach out to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"King Qin thinks, who can take over the Ministry of Civil Affairs to continue the work?"

Yang Ming stood up and said, "My minister recommends Yang Xuangan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

As soon as these words came out, many people were dumbfounded, including Comrade Yang Guang.

In terms of qualifications, Yang Xuangan is not qualified, in terms of ability, Yang Xuangan is not good, in terms of the situation, Yang Su is now resigned, and Hongnong Yang is going downhill.

Judging from these three points, Yang Xuangan didn't even have the qualifications to be a candidate.

But when Yang Xuangan heard these words, he was still very happy in his heart, and his back straightened instantly, even though his son-in-law didn't give him a good face at ordinary times, he still wouldn't lose the chain at critical moments.

Yang Guang chuckled: "I will consider it as appropriate."

This sentence not only gave his son face, but also did not irritate Yang Xuangan, but anyone with a discerning eye knew in his heart that Yang Xuangan was really bad.

At this time, Lai Huer, Yang Guang's number one favorite minister, stood up and said:
"The minister recommended Xu Guogong as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Xu Guogong is Yu Wenshu. There is no doubt that Yu Wenshu has this ability, but Yu Wenshu also knows in his heart that it is impossible for him to take up this position. If it is him, the emperor will greet him in advance.

No greeting, no show.

Next, all parties came to the stage one after another, recommending the best candidate in their minds.

Since it is a recommendation, of course this person has to be praised, so every person who is recommended is praised in a hype, as if the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not need him, the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs cannot be performed.

Some people recommended Yang Ming, and Yang Guang even praised him for his foresight, but Yang Ming knew in his heart that his father was putting aside his acting skills.

The following gang of fools are being played around by others.

For an entire hour and a half, Yang Guang didn't make up his mind. Obviously, the people recommended were not in line with Yang Guang's wishes.

Yang Ming was also thinking in his heart, who is there in the East Palace who is suitable for this seat.

He believes that this position must come from the princelings. Yang Xiong and Yang Hong both have opportunities, but these two are already the prince and the prince, and they are also a minister. It seems that the power is too great.

So who else?
Historically, there were several Yang Guang who served as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and one of them, according to history, should be the successor, but Yang Ming felt that this person seemed a little too low-key at the moment.

Dad wouldn't be interested in him, would he?
This man was Yang Yong's crown prince You Shuzi, and now he is Yang Zhao's prince Zuo Shuzi, and he also has General Zuo Houwei on him, and he is not young, 58 years old.

Whether it is possible, Yang Ming wanted to try to recommend him, because his elder brother Yang Zhao was destined to die of illness this year, and he had the desire to recommend him, so he might be useful in the future.

So Yang Ming stood up and said, "The Ministry of Civil Affairs has a heavy responsibility right now. It is responsible for the recruitment of civilians and food supplies needed for the canal. During the construction of these two items in Tokyo, the prince has always been in charge of them, so the East Palace can be said to be familiar with the road. Take over the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It went well, so my minister recommended the eldest son Chi, the eldest son of Zuo Shu, the crown prince, as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment. How did this kid think of it?
Is he trying to figure out my mind?If this is the case, the third child is too scary.

Fortunately, at this time, Yang Ming deliberately shifted his gaze to the opposite side, and glanced at Sun Sheng, the eldest in the crowd. Yang Guang caught this tiny movement, and felt relieved immediately.

Fortunately, Changsun Sheng was brought up by the third child, and now he is helping Changsun Chi to speak, it should be discussed with Changsun Sheng.

Yang Guang also comforted himself in his heart, his conceit did not allow others to guess his thoughts,
After receiving Yang Ming's gaze, Changsun Sheng was also bewildered. What do you think I am doing?Didn't the two of us discuss this in private?
King Qin has always been cautious, what happened today?Is the court hall also a place where eyes can be seen?
Changsun Chi is Changsun Sheng's second brother.

Although Yang Guang made up his mind that as long as it was recommended by the third child, he would not agree with any of them, but if he bumped into the candidate he had in mind, there was nothing he could do.

The eldest grandson Chi is the eldest after all, so even if the third eldest has a feeling of recommendation, it will not be a big problem.

So Yang Guang nodded in relief, and said with a smile:

"King Qin's proposal, I deeply agree with it. The current plan is to continue the recruitment of civilian husbands and food supply as soon as possible. The eldest grandson has been assisting the crown prince in the matter of Luoyang, and he is familiar with it. It will be much easier for him to take over."

This sentence is tantamount to a decision. Although the ministers still disagree, once Yang Guang made a decision, it is basically impossible to change it.

So Yang Guang announced on the spot that the eldest grandson Chi would serve as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, while the prince Zuo Shuzi's errand would still be concurrently in charge.

It is obvious that it is to increase the influence of the Prince's East Palace, and anyone who disagrees is basically an idiot.

After the court meeting was over, Changsun Sheng wanted to catch up with Yang Ming to ask about the situation, and thanked him on the way, but Yang Ming took the initiative to find Su Wei.

Su Wei continued to move forward, and said without squinting: "How did Your Highness guess that it was Changsun Chi? The old man tried his best but never thought it would be him."

"Of course I guessed it with my head." Yang Ming smiled and walked hand in hand with Su Wei, and said, "If there is a vacancy in Shang Shusheng, how about Mr. Su helping me fill in someone?"

Shangshu Province is the center of national power. Most of the people here have real talents, and many of them are older.

As one grows older, one's health will go wrong, and it is easy to report illness and return home to vacate positions, and Yang Guang has been adding fresh blood to Shang Shusheng to replace those old and rotten people.

Su Wei smiled and said, "Your Highness, tell me first, who is the person you want to love?"

"The current Taichang Temple Taizhu, Chen Shuda," Yang Ming said.

"Oh, so it's him," Su Wei nodded, "the old man has heard rumors that this person has a nepotism, and I heard that Qin Wang's concubine, Mrs. Chen, is his niece. So, His Highness is also because of this relationship. Recommend this person?"

Yang Ming smiled and said, "No, I personally admire him more."

Su Wei couldn't help laughing and said: "Chen Shuda is lucky to be appreciated by His Highness, don't worry, if there is a vacancy, the old man will give priority to this person."

"But." Su Wei suddenly smiled slyly, and said: "Everyone knows that His Highness's role as Honglu Qing is just a temporary thing. Afterwards, His Highness must not look down on this position, right?"

Yang Ming immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Su, when Tiele and his gang are dismissed, this king will definitely recommend his son to take over."

Su Wei nodded and smiled.

His son, Su Kui, is the Shaoqing of Honghe Temple, although there is only one level difference between Shaoqing and Qing, the difference is huge.

It's like the bureau chief and deputy bureau chief in later generations. In front of the principal, the deputy and the others below are no different.
And some people have been doing vice for a lifetime, and they can't even get upright.

If Su Kui can become the chief official of a temple, then if there is any change in the future, he will definitely be doing the right thing, and he will not be the deputy again.

This is a big step. If you go up, you will go up. If you don't go up, it will be difficult to go up.

It is definitely inconvenient for Su Wei to promote his son, so it is most appropriate to borrow Yang Ming's hand.

Although Yang Ming doesn't seem to have any real power right now, don't forget that he is a prince, a first-rank prince.

Su Wei and Yang Ming separated after leaving the Suzaku Gate. As soon as they got into the carriage, they heard from Chen Kui that Changsun Sheng had come to look for him.

So Yang Ming invited him into the carriage, and said with a smile, "If you have anything to do, let's go to your residence and talk about it."

Changsun Sheng was very honored, but he didn't know that Yang Ming was thinking about his daughter here.

His mansion is not on the line of [-], but the second-class, in [-], because Changsun Sheng has no title of honor, only the honor of Shangzhu Kingdom, which was won by Yang Ming for him.

His father's Marquis of Pingyuan County was attacked by his elder brother's eldest grandson, but his elder brother died.

Earlier, Yang Guang didn't want to see the second eldest Sun Chi, so he didn't let the eldest Sun Chi attack the noble.

The Changsun Mansion is in Yongningfang, and the area is not too small. It was rewarded by Yang Jian to Changsun Sheng for his achievements in Turkic diplomacy.

Now his children and his wife live here.

After entering the mansion, of course his wife, Mrs. Gao, must personally receive him, serve tea and water, and serve him attentively.

Everyone who has been served has served others, and no one is an exception.

After Yang Ming took his seat, he said with a smile: "I recommend Nai brother, there must be some selfishness. Of course, the eldest grandson Chi assists the crown prince in the East Palace, and works sincerely, which is also one of the reasons why this king values ​​him."

At this time, the credit is about to be taken by yourself.

Changsun Sheng said gratefully: "Second brother is a great talent, but it's a pity that he has a dull personality and few words, so that he doesn't show himself in front of others."

Be humble. A person with a dull personality can't be the prince Zuo Shuzi, and an official above the fifth rank, which one is not a human being?
Yang Ming looked around and said: "If you really want to talk about stupidity, the first thing I think of is your son Wuji? Is he in the house?"

"Here I am,"

Changsun Sheng nodded, and hastily winked at his wife, signaling him to bring all his children in to meet the King of Qin.

Yang Ming is not very old, but his seniority is high. If the eldest Sun Sheng wants to befriend him, he will naturally let the younger generation in the family show up.

It would always be beneficial to get acquainted with Yang Ming.
