Emperor Sui Yang

When Yang Guang left this time, not many high-ranking officials were taken away, and many bigwigs in the court stayed behind, because he knew in his heart that he went out to play and took away all the officials, and the country was still operating. Not working anymore?

Su Wei, Niu Hong, Pei Ju, Duan Wenzhen, and Yan Pi were taken away by him.

Pei Ju really didn't want to hang out with the other party, because he would go out frequently, and he would inevitably spend less time in contact with Yang Ming, so that the relationship between Yang Yue and Dong Gong became closer and closer, which was not what he wanted to see.

Among the people who stayed in Beijing this time, the most surprising one was Yu Wenshu.

Yang Ming knew that this person was left behind by his father to watch over him, because Yu Wenshu was only loyal to the emperor.

It is very normal for the emperor to guard against the prince, but it is not so easy for Yang Ming to rebel against his father. Most of the sixteen guards are loyal to the emperor.

For now, the risk of Yang Ming's rebellion outweighs the benefits, so he won't do it for the time being. After all, Goguryeo has been destroyed smoothly. Although Yang Guang went on a southern tour this year, it has calmed down and caused no major incidents.

Samurai Xun married Yang Miaozhi home, and within two months, she became pregnant. Yang Ming had to admire Samurai Xun's hit rate, which was quite high.

I don't know if Wu Zetian is still born in this life. After all, Yang Miaozhi is not 44 years old this year, but 34 years old. He may not give birth to three daughters like in history, and maybe he will have a son.

After finishing his vacation, Yang Ming continued to preside over the daily court meeting and check the list of scholars reported this year.

"I believe that this year's Juren from Hebei and Shandong should be given preferential treatment. This will be of great help to appease the local people." Of course, it was Lu Chu from Hebei who said this.

He is now a polished commander, and most of the people in the Ministry of Internal History have gone with Yang Guang, but he, the chief officer, has not left.

Wei Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, immediately retorted: "The scientific examination is to select talented people from all over the world. It is against the original intention of the imperial court. What is the credibility of the country?"

Yang Ming supervised the country's small court meeting. The number of people was not as large as when Yang Guang was there. There were only about [-] people. These people were actually enough. Many people know about it.

Because the country also has plots and conspiracies.

Just like what Lu Chu proposed today, taking care of Shandong and Hebei is tantamount to trampling on the word fairness.

But is what he said unreasonable?Makes sense and is very reasonable.

This involves the vital interests of the Guanzhong Group and groups outside Guanzhong.

Yang Yue also expressed his approval for Wei Jin, saying:
"One matter is another matter. The appeasement of Shandong and Hebei, the court will not stop, but it can't be tricky in the scientific examination because of this. If it is really leaked, won't it make the world's scholars feel cold?"

"Who will leak it?" Cui Zhongfang, minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said: "The affairs of the court meeting must not be circulated. Spread the word."

really not?Yes, there are too many, but they will only tell some strict-mouthed people in their own family, so that the family can make correct judgments on any policies of the court, so that they can respond in time.

Yang Yue said with a smile: "Both of you are from Hebei, so it seems inappropriate to talk about preferential treatment of Hebei scholars here?"

"Why is it inappropriate?" Cui Junsu, the third servant of the Ministry of Officials from Hebei, said:

"The imperial court has issued a document that officials above the fifth rank are not allowed to refer to their relatives, and we have no selfish intentions. In the current situation, if we can take care of Hebei in scientific research, Yu Juluo can do things there, which is beneficial to the country. "

The kinship relationship in China is very complicated. If I really want to expand it, I can't finish it.

But it can be roughly divided into three categories, clan relatives, cousins, and wives.

Clan is a family of inheritance and branch relationship based on patrilineal bloodline and rooted in the ancestor of the surname, which is divided into direct lineage and collateral lineage.

Immediate family members include great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, sons, daughters, grandsons/granddaughters, etc. Collateral family members include uncles/uncles, cousins, nephews/nieces, grandnephews/grandnieces, etc.

And Cui Junsu's in-laws are based on himself, the immediate relatives of the previous two generations and the next two generations.

For example, Cui Junsu is a third grade official. His son and grandson are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination. As for his father and grandfather, let alone, if you want him to participate, you have to go down to find him.

Right now, Yang Ming can only confine himself to such a narrow range. If you change your in-law's room into a main room, you won't be able to pass it at all.

What is a hall?
The hall is further divided into the Qintang and the Yuantang. The Qintang has already talked about the generation of my grandfather, and the Yuantang is even further away, including the great-grandfather, including all the descendants of the grandfather and great-grandfather. This is a large group of people. , it is impossible for you to put an end to others.

This year is just testing the waters, so the restrictions should be a little less, that is, to put an end to people like Xu Jingzong, your father is the servant of the Ministry of Rites, why are you going to take the scientific examination?Also passed the exam.

Da Sui's current scientific research is still inseparable from formalism. If Yang Ming wants to change, he can only do it slowly and kick out those sons of the fifth rank first.

The opinions of the three Hebei people are unified. I hope that the court will favor Hebei and Shandong. The Guanzhong Group definitely disagrees, because in this way, their vital interests will be damaged.

It means that the country is recruiting so many civil servants this year, and you, Hebei and Shandong accounted for most of the places, so wouldn't I be missing?
The two sides fought back and forth, but the three people in Hebei were not at a disadvantage at all, because these three were all in high positions, and Yang Guang's plan to support aristocratic families outside Guanzhong was initially reflected.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing," Yang Ming raised his hand to interrupt the hour-long verbal battle.

Yang Ming said lightly:
"At the beginning of the scientific examination, Emperor Gaozu gave the world's scholars a fair opportunity to become an official. As Yang Yue said, one yard belongs to one yard. To appease Hebei and Shandong, we need to find ways to give preferential treatment to the scientific examination. Appropriate, this is an underestimation of the Hebei scholars. It is kind of you three to fight for them, but will the Hebei scholars think why I need preferential treatment from the imperial court? Am I inferior to the scholars in other places? ?”

Cui Zhongfang nodded and said: "Hebei and Shandong are not inferior to any place in the world in terms of the origin of learning."

This is the truth, but some people don't like to hear such truths, Wei Zhen directly snorted coldly: "The old Qi occupied Shandong and Hebei, and established the country with writing, what will happen?"

As soon as these words came out, the group was basically divided.

Yang Ming grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at Wei Zhen, and deliberately missed it. If he really wanted to hit it, it would not end well.

Wei Zhen was silent for a moment, she lowered her head and dared not speak.

"If you say that again, you will never be forgiven!" Yang Ming said, looking around at the crowd.

All the ministers hurriedly said: "Prince, calm down."

Yang Ming looked at Wei Zhen, and said in a deep voice: "The nine states and all seas are the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty. Don't make such nonsense anymore. I think you're just a quick talker, so I won't pursue it."

Wei Zhenchang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's the minister who made a slip of the tongue."

After finishing speaking, he got up and raised his hands towards Cui Zhongfang and the three of them, saying: "I hope you are in good hands."

The three of them also hurriedly said that it was okay, knowing that your mistake was unintentional.

The three of them are trying to save face for the prince. Wei Zhen's daughter is the prince's woman, and the prince will not really pursue it if he scolds him.

Although Yang Ming said that the scientific examination should be fair, he actually accepted Lu Chu's suggestion in his heart.

There were many examiners in the final imperial examination, but the one who nodded at the end had to be Yang Ming, so he could take care of Hebei and Shandong.

But he can't say it clearly, he can only do it quietly. Even if everyone sees that the prince is partial to Hebei and Shandong, it's hard for you to say anything, because people have made everything clear today: be fair.

Do you dare to say that people are unfair?

So, don't look at what a person says, but look at how he does it.

A person in power like Yang Ming has the basic literacy of duplicity.

The Guanzhong Group will definitely split up. This is out of consideration for the overall situation of the country, and it can effectively appease Shandong and Hebei. Why not do it?

Yu Wenshu didn't say anything at today's court meeting. When the emperor was away, he didn't have the confidence.

During these days, as long as he went to court, he would return home immediately, and anyone who invited him to a banquet would decline, just waiting for Chen Shuyi's presence.

After struggling for this period of time and Yang Yinjiang's persuasion, Chen Shuyi finally made up her mind to go to Xu Guogong's mansion.

Yang Yinjiang is top-notch smart, he guessed that her husband's intention this time was to cut off the connection between Yu Wenshu and Yang Hao, and only watched the replay of the Ministry of War, but her husband didn't even look at it, so he knew it was to temporarily release Yu Wenshu. horse.

Yu Wenshu's threat is greater, or Yang Hao's threat is greater, Yang Yinjiang thinks with her buttocks, and knows who to deal with first.

In the Sui Dynasty, at the level of the Duke, under normal circumstances, Chen Shuyi was not qualified to make the Duke kneel for a woman who only kneeled at the first rank.

Especially this Duke, who used to be her father.

However, Yang Guang had already asked Chen Shuyi to recognize his ancestor back then, and changed the Yuwen family in the royal family genealogy to the Chen family.

Therefore, the father-daughter relationship between Chen Shuyi and Yu Wenshu no longer exists. If Yu Wenshu wants to kneel, no one will stop him.

"Chen Yu Wenshu, I pay my respects to Prince Liangdi," Yu Wenshu and a group of family members knelt down outside the alley at the gate.

Yu Wenshu's wife, Dugu Shi, stepped forward and was in charge of welcoming him. She was a first-rank wives, one level lower than the prince's official wife.

The Dugu family is indeed from the Dugu family in Luoyang, but it is far away from the Dugu Jialuo branch, and Yu Wenshu's wife is also a close friend of Empress Xiao.

Chen Shuyi will not lose face, even if the other party often treated her harshly when she was a child, it is basically treated by the inferiors.

"Please Liang Di get off the car,"

Dugu raised his arm, let Chen Shuyi hold it, and got off the carriage.

Lowering the chariot means getting off the chariot, and only the emperor getting off the chariot is called descending chariot. (end of this chapter)
