Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 418 Official Selection by the Ministry of Officials
Yang Guang's delegating power to Yang Ming is undoubtedly the most gratifying thing for Yang Ming. He is afraid that his father will interfere with his selection of subordinates, which will make him very uncomfortable.

Who to use, he has a spectrum in mind.

It is said that many emperors in history liked to kill heroes. In fact, everyone overlooked one point. In the eyes of emperors, there are no heroes, only usable or not.

This is determined by status, just like Yang Ming's arrangement of officials in the East Palace, it is not that I will use it if I like it, but whether you are useful or not.

When a person is at the top, he has to calculate everyone around him to ensure that his rights are stable.

After the court meeting, Yang Ming met Yang Yuanqing, Yang Yinjiang's half brother in the East Palace.

This kid was born with a fierce, tall and mighty figure. At first glance, he was terrifying and could not be provoked, but when Yang Yuanqing was in front of Yang Yinjiang, he was as docile as a cat.

This is due to being suppressed since childhood, and there is a shadow in my heart.

He is also a son of the harem, and Yang Yinjiang is the daughter of the aunt. It is reasonable to say that women are not as good as men, but I am sorry, she is the princess, and she is the person Yang Yue defends the most.

Yang Yuanqing has only been slapped by three people in his life, Yang Su, Yang Yue, and Yang Yinjiang.

The reason why this kid came so late was because he passed by Xiyang County and stayed at Yang Yue's place for a while. Now, the old Yang's family is basically following Yang Yue's lead, besides Yang Yinjiang.

"Brother-in-law is back?" Yang Yuanqing stood up and smiled at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming waved his hand and motioned him to sit down: "It's good to come back, you will follow your sister from now on, and sister Ni can use you easily."

"Don't worry brother-in-law, I know," Yang Yuanqing said.

When Yang Ming got married, this boy was responsible for carrying his sister out of the boudoir. At that time, Yang Yuanqing was only 14 years old, and his strength was already terrifying.

It's good to play snacks, with a big skeleton and a solid body. After going to the frontier for a few years of experience, he is now a tough guy made of copper and iron.

It's strange to say that the old Yang family's Xuangan generation below seems to be more focused on martial arts, and there are very few people who follow the path of civil servants.

"Have you received the access control token and armor ordnance?" Yang Ming asked.

Yang Yinjiang spoke for her younger brother: "Yuan Qing has just entered the palace for less than half an hour, and she has been with me the whole time, and has not had time to get it."

"Then go get it, I have something to say to your sister," Yang Ming said.

Yang Yuanqing hurriedly got up and left.

"Is it about Pei Xi? I already know." After her younger brother left, Yang Yinjiang sat down beside Yang Ming and said, "She has already entered the palace, and she is at Ayun's place right now."

Yang Ming came back last night and stayed at Yan Xiaotang's place, so there was no time to tell about this matter. Pei Xi must have greeted Yang Yinjiang the first time she entered the palace, so she would know.

"Are Yang Rui and Shimin in the Imperial College?" Yang Ming asked.

Yang Yinjiang smiled and said: "It's such a big happy event, I have already sent someone to call Shimin back, he should be in Yichun Palace right now."

Brothers with a big age gap like Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng have no taboos between uncles and sisters-in-law, mainly because Shimin is still too young, and his elder sister-in-law is like a mother, but when he becomes an adult, he and Pei Xi will have to keep a distance.

Yang Ming nodded: "You are usually free, and you should get closer to Pei Xi, so that Li Yuan and the others feel that we value him."

"Naturally, Li Yuan and his father are cousins, and this person is extremely unusual. I underestimated him by keeping a low profile before," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile.

In fact, it is not a small underestimate, Yang Suyang is around, Li Yuan is indeed not on the stage.

"However, there is one thing that is quite strange." Yang Yinjiang frowned suddenly and said, "Although I know that Pei Ju has a very close relationship with Wang Tong, Pei Ju wouldn't find a daughter from his own clan for one of Wang Tong's disciples, right? ?”

Yang Ming was stunned and said, "Which disciple?"

"Who else?" Yang Yinjiang pursed her lips and said, "Just that Wei Zheng? Pei Ju went out in person and picked a married woman from the clan to be betrothed to Wei Zheng."

Yang Ming frowned suddenly. It's true that Wei Zheng's main wife in history was from the Pei family in Hedong, but that was after he became famous. Now, an inconspicuous official, why does Pei Ju think so highly of him?
In the eyes of Hedong Pei, the Julu Wei family is a small family. Although Pei Ju is the head of the family, does the girl's father agree to her daughter's marriage?

"Whose girl?" Yang Ming asked curiously.

Yang Yinjiang said: "The daughter of Yueyang County Magistrate Pei Shiwu."

Pei Shiwu, plus Pei Shiqing who visited Japan, and Pei Ju's real name Pei Shiju, from this point of view, they belong to the same generation.

A daughter of a county magistrate marrying an official of the East Palace sounds like a good deal, but if Hedong Pei married Julu Wei, it would be a big loss for Nima.

Could it be that Pei Ju has seen that Wei Zheng is a potential stock?Good eyesight to this point?

He is indeed a potential stock. In history, he also served as the prince Xianma for Li Jiancheng. Later, he was Zheng Guogong and the prince and grand teacher. He is a very awesome figure.

After being silent for a while, Yang Ming smiled wryly and said, "Whatever, as long as someone is willing to marry, there is no need for us to intervene."

Yang Yinjiang nodded and said, "If Wei Zheng marries the daughter of the Pei family, we can't just let him be a minor official."

That's right, Yang Ming also thought about it in the same way. If Pei Ju praised him so much, Yang Ming had to follow suit, otherwise he would lose face to Pei Ju.

Good guy. Yang Ming suddenly figured it out.

Pei Ju didn't really think Wei Zheng was capable, but was he training Pei Shuying's confidants in the East Palace?A person like Wei Zheng who is straight-headed and dares to say anything, isn't he a big troll?He can definitely help Pei Shuying with some things that she is inconvenient to do.

Pei Ju, Pei Ju, do you really have such a heart?
Yang Ming was suddenly a little upset, and it seemed that he had to be wary of Pei Ju in the future, lest he disturb his arrangements in the East Palace.

Leaving the palace, Yang Ming went to Cheng'en Hall. Instead of calling everyone to discuss matters, he wandered among various government offices to observe how people deal with government affairs.

At Menxiafang, Yuan Wendu said:

"There is a shortage of manpower. Many things are too busy. Although there is Li Gong's guidance, the progress is still slow. Does Your Highness ask for more people from the Ministry of Officials?"

In the current Menxiafang, there are 120 officials and clerks combined, but the full staff is 320, and more than half is missing.

In fact, there were many officials left behind by Yang Zhao, but Yang Ming didn't want to use them, so most of the officials in the East Palace are still his former team, and many of them were brought over from Jingzhou.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Then I'll add two more people for you, Huang Fenglin from Yushitai, and the last Neisheren, Wei Zheng asked him to be in charge of Lingshi. .”

Yang Ming had promised Huang Fenglin before that he would find a new job for him to work in the East Palace, Huang Fenglin would definitely be happy.

The officials of the East Palace are not of high rank, but they have special social status. Take that Xie Wen as an example. He was originally Yang Guang's guard, and his rank is not high, but once he leaves the emperor's side, he will ascend to the sky in one step.

After going to the Dian Shufang, Feng Deyi and Li Baiyao also complained about the lack of manpower. After all, these two workshops are the two most important departments.

So Yang Ming went directly to the Ministry of Officials.

Yang Gongren smiled and asked people to prepare the list of alternate officials recorded by the Ministry of Officials for Yang Ming to check. Then he poured a cup of tea and said with a smile:

"It's easy to talk about officials. Many children from aristocratic families are currently at home. It takes only a day or two to find a few hundred people. As for officials, His Highness still has to choose by himself."

Yang Ming nodded, and continued to browse through the list: "Don't recommend me, let me choose by myself."

Yang Gongren was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile, "No, no."

He did have this plan, because there were indeed many juniors in the family who were flexible workers, but Yang Ming blocked his mouth in advance.

In this directory, there are really many celebrities, many of whom are famous in history.

Finally, Yang Ming decided on some people.

Liu Hongji, Han Sengshou, Li Mi, Wei Fusi, Wei Yijie, Zheng Yuanshou, Yin Qiao, Yao Silian, Pei Xingyan, Tang Jian, Zhao Changwen, Yang Sixuan.

Liu Hongji's father, Liu Sheng, used to be the governor of Hezhou, but he is dead. He chose Xiaoliantian as an alternate, and he can be the master of the door.

Han Sengshou and Xuangan are close buddies, Han Qinhu's heir and Li Jing's cousin can be appointed as the Zuo Nei rate.

Li Mi was originally Yang Guang's bodyguard, but because of Yu Wenshu's reasons, he is now free and has nothing to do. If he is well used, he will be his right-hand man, and he can go to the Dianshufang to be the manager of the bookstore.

Wei Fusi and Wei Yijie had just been taken down due to an accident. Yang Ming's reappointment so soon was to give the Wei family an attitude so that Jing Zhaowei could be more honest. These two former officials were not young, so they both went In the Dianshufang, one is in charge of keeping records, and the other is in charge of promulgating orders.

Zheng Yuanshou was taken down by Yang Ming from the General of the Right Waiting Guard, so he became the Deputy Commander of the Prince's Left Guard to help Yang Xuanting.

Yin Qiao's father, Yin Sengshou, is now working as a secretary in the Ministry of Secretaryship. Yang Ming is completely interested in this person's reputation, because Yin Qiao is Yin Kaishan, one of the 24 heroes of the famous Lingyan Pavilion. I will let you be the left palace Goalkeeper, go show me the gate.

Pei Xingyan is going to be the goalkeeper of the right palace.

Yao Silian is from the south. He used to serve as an attendant to Wei Ying's son-in-law, Yang You. Later, Wei Ying no longer needed him, so it happened to be my job. He is also one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace.

Next, Tang Jian went to the right guard to lead Li Jing.

Zhao Changwen is a proclaimer.

The last one, Yang Sixuan, is Yang Gongren's nephew and Yan Xiaotang's cousin, so let's be the right insider.

After selecting so many people in one go, there are actually still vacancies, but it is really difficult for Yang Ming to choose.

"I want more officials from Guanzhong, followed by Shandong, and the last in Jiangnan. You can take care of it."

Officials are not good grades, but the work they do is the heaviest. They are equivalent to temporary workers. They basically come from the sidelines of aristocratic families, or they are born out of concubines. It is unlikely that they want to become regulars. Many of them will work for a lifetime. Assistant.

But people are also considered scholars, and they are different from farmers, workers, and merchants.

Yang Gongren said with a smile: "Prince, don't worry, scholars all over the world are on file in the Ministry of Officials. Whatever you want, I will find it for you."

As he said that, Yang Gongren said again: "I see that His Highness has been busy with business recently and is physically and mentally exhausted. Would you like to go to my place to rest tonight?"

Yang Ming waved his hand: "Forget it, I really don't have that energy."
