The time of the morning court is generally controlled within one hour. The morning court only deals with major matters reported by various ministries, temples and localities. The policy plan is also prepared first, and then brought to the morning court for discussion; sometimes the assistant officer is asked to make a copy and distribute it. When going to each department, let the chief officers of each department be mentally prepared, and then discuss it in the morning the next day.
This is so as not to affect the officials' handling of the complicated government affairs at hand, which is very similar to the morning meetings of later generations of companies. After the morning meeting, the officials will return to their official offices to formally handle the government affairs within their scope of responsibility.
Today's morning court was no exception. The "New System of Yicang" was passed in less than a moment. As for the specific and detailed implementation plan, it was left to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Internal History to review and draft the edict. Then it is sent to the Menxia Province for final review. If the Menxia Province feels there is a problem, it will be rejected and redone. Only if there are no problems will it be reported to the emperor.
It only took about two moments to deal with the assassination and rebellion case; originally, when encountering the death penalty case, they would repeatedly ask for evidence, but these criminals themselves all confessed. After Yang Jian, who did not want to have long nights and dreams, was sure that there was no difference, he officially The decree was carried out.
So today's morning meeting was completed in less than an hour.
Yang Ji, Zhang Xutuo, Yin Shishi and others went to the Ministry of War to go through the procedures for receiving weapons and equipment, pension money and military rations, and then went to the Ministry of Works to handle the handover procedures for the supervisor.
As soon as the group of them left the main hall of the Chinese Hall, they were stopped by Yang Guang: "Vajra slave, wait a moment."
Yang Ji quickly turned around and asked with a smile: "Brother, are you okay? I'm very busy."
Yang Guang was dumbfounded: "What are you busy with?"
Yang Ji said: "Get people and supplies."
"Aren't you?" Yang Guang glanced at Yang Ji speechlessly and asked in disbelief: "Are you going to go by yourself?"
"if not?"
"I have already explained that everything is for the best. Just let General Zhang and General Yin go get people and supplies. I guarantee that no one dares to embarrass them." Yang Guang said with a smile: "You come with me to Qianqiu. temple."
"Okay!" Naturally, Yang Ji would not be so stupid that he would do everything himself. Instead, he wanted to go to the Ministry of Works and oversee the recruitment of top craftsmen. With him stepping forward, it would be difficult for those officials to let them go, but Yang Guangdu Having said that, there was no need to dig people out personally, so this task was handed over to Zhang Xutuo and others.
The Qianqiu Palace is on the west side next to the Zhonghua Palace. It is where Yang Guang, the prince of the country, works. The two of them walked over leisurely.
When the two came to Qianqiu Palace, there were already more than a dozen officials waiting, preparing to report government affairs to Yang Guang.
Yang Guang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Prince Wei and I have something to do, please go inside and wait for a while."
"The Crown Prince and King Wei are busy first, I can't wait in a hurry." The officials held their hands and followed an official into the door.
Yang Ji suddenly found that the leading official was very familiar. This man had a slender figure, a clear and handsome face, and three strands of thin beard under his chin. He exuded a strong air of elegance and ease. Upon closer inspection, he found that this man looked very similar to Yu Shinan. Similar, it was immediately clear that this person was the future traitor Yu Shiji.
When Yang Guang saw Yang Ji looking at Yu Shiji, he introduced with a smile: "This person is Yu Shiji from Neishishe. He has great literary talent and is good at cursive writing. Yu Shinan is his biological brother. But to be honest, although Yu Shinan's calligraphy is good, But it’s far worse than his brother.”
"Their brothers look so much alike. At first glance, I thought they were Yu Shinan." Yang Ji felt a little dumbfounded after hearing Yang Guang's words.
The calligraphy of Yu Shinan, a famous calligrapher, turned out to be only "good" in Yang Guang's eyes, and even received a far lower evaluation than Yu Shiji. From this point of view, this is another typical example of success and failure, which is very similar to Cai Xiang and Cai Jing.
It is said that Cai Jing's handwriting is actually far better than Cai Xiang's. However, because he was a traitor, even his artistic achievements were completely denied. Cai Xiang, who was not as good at writing as him, was considered one of the "Four Masters of the Song Dynasty" .
"Haha! They are indeed very similar, let alone you. I have been getting along with their brothers for several years, and sometimes I almost admit the wrong person. Let's go, our brothers will also go inside to talk."
"good."
The two walked into the gate of Qianqiu Palace and arrived at the court room where Yang Guang handled official business. The room was neatly and elegantly tidied. What impressed Yang Ji the most was the three large stacks of memorials on several cases, each of which was more than one meter high. There were also six large stacks of memorials on the other two small cases.
These are all documents and memorials from various places in the Sui Dynasty. After preliminary review by the six departments, they will finally be collected by Yang Guang. Therefore, Yang Guang has to deal with a lot of official affairs every day. In fact, this is also one of the signs that the official system of five provinces and six ministries, eleven temples and five prisons, and twelve guards' offices has not yet been perfected.
When Yang Ji saw this scene, he said: "Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all. When you are busy, it will be at least several times higher." Yang Guang said calmly.
"Does this happen every day?"
"Every day."
"Can you handle it?"
"I'm used to it." Yang Guang said nonchalantly and gestured casually: "Sit wherever you want."
"I even confused Liangzhou, but my brother has to deal with so many memorials every day." Yang Ji sat down and said, "Brother is so awesome, I am so impressed."
"You think I want to? I was forced to do it." Yang Guang sat down and said with a wry smile: "I won't hide it from you, since Aye asked me to supervise the country, 90% of the time has been spent endlessly with this. A memorial battle."
Yang Ji asked: "Why don't you take the memorial back to the East Palace for processing?"
"That's not possible. If you take the memorial back to the East Palace, wouldn't it mean that there is no distinction between public and private matters?" Perhaps because of his own tone, Yang Guang softened his tone and said seriously: "Vajra slave, you are young and have not been in office for a long time. You have not yet I deeply understand the horror of political struggle. As a high-ranking person, you must be more cautious than ordinary officials, especially me, the prince, and you, the king of Wei. If you don't act in accordance with the laws and rules, you will be impeached by the censor. If you don't do it right, your whole family will be ruined; at worst, everyone will take their official business home to deal with it, and then relevant stakeholders will come to your door at night to conduct illegal transactions. In this way, the entire Sui Dynasty will be in chaos. So you Even if you can't finish it today, it's okay to do it tomorrow, but never take official business home to handle it."
"Thank you for your teaching, brother. I understand." Yang Ji nodded and said to Yang Guang seriously: "I am just a local official, so it doesn't matter, but brother has to deal with so many official affairs every day. What’s wrong? I think it’s better to change the system and lighten the burden.”
"It's difficult." Yang Guang sighed: "The official system of our Sui Dynasty is actually not yet mature, and there are countless shortcomings. But there is no way to learn from it about the specific shortcomings, so we can only take one step, learn one step, and change one step."
Having said this, Yang Guang asked with a smile: "Do you have an idea?"
"I have some ideas, but I don't know if they are right or not. What I think is good may not be applicable." Yang Ji frowned and said: "And restructuring also means that official positions may be increased or decreased. These are all related to the officials and the people of the world. Our interests are closely related, and we can’t just change it.”
"As long as you understand!" Yang Guang suddenly felt something in his heart, and said to Yang Ji with a smile: "Aye will leave Liangzhou to you and give you the power to exercise your own power. And the positions of the Liangzhou General Administration are divided , the staffing ratio is almost the same as that of the imperial court. If you have a good idea, you can try it in Liangzhou first. If it is reasonable and applicable, we can promote it, what do you think?"
Yang Ji smiled and said, "When the time comes, don't blame me for making the decision without permission."
Yang Guang smiled and said, "You can rest assured."
"When I arrive in Liangzhou, I will give it a try."
"Then I'll wait and see." After Yang Guang finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "These are what you will do in the future. Let's talk about your current tasks."
"You tell me and I listen!" Yang Ji quickly sat upright.
Yang Guang said: "From now on, the eleven states of Liangzhou are officially handed over to you. And you are not only a general, but also the parent who manages the food and clothing of the people. Millions of soldiers and civilians in Liangzhou depend on you for their lives. King Kong slave, you The burden on my shoulders is as heavy as a mountain!”
"Brother, please rest assured. I will do my best after I arrive in Liangzhou." Yang Ji nodded. He is the top leader in Liangzhou, integrating military, political, civil, legal, financial, business and other powers into one body. Liangzhou is under his single-handed control. This is not only power, but also a heavy responsibility and mission, as well as the trust and expectations of Yang Jian and Yang Guang.
"It's not enough to do your best. You must first know what your task is. Only in this way can you know how to do your best."
Yang Guang stood up, walked to the wall, and opened the curtain. On the wall was a huge map. He picked up a wooden stick, pointed to the surrounding area and said: "Liangzhou Eleven shows the characteristics of the state being long from east to west and narrow from north to south. Eight of these states border with Tuyuhun, Turks and other foreign ethnic groups. The situation is extremely complicated and needs defense. There are countless places. Fortunately, the Eastern Turks have fallen into a chaos of wars and divisions, so Liangzhou’s main defense targets have become Tuyuhun in the south and the Western Turks west of Jinshan. So your first task is to ensure Liangzhou’s It is safe; secondly, there are far fewer Han people in Liangzhou than descendants of Qiang and Hu people. It is also your big task to deal with the conflicts between various ethnic groups; thirdly, Yizhou and Tingzhou belong to me during the Sui Dynasty. The next step is to open up the relationship again. The Silk Road, so maintaining old trade routes and finding new trade routes is also your responsibility.”
Yang Ji solemnly said: "I remember."
"This is actually just a general talk about responsibility. Now I want to talk to you about the Sui Dynasty's western strategy in detail."
The two talked for more than an hour. Since Yang Guang still had many government affairs to deal with urgently, Yang Ji could only leave first. Since other matters were left to Zhang Xutuo, Yin Shishi and others, Yang Ji had nothing to do in the palace and returned to the palace.
The conversation between Yang Guang and him today did not involve the internal issues of the Sui Dynasty at all. He Ruobi and others had completely disappeared from his words. The conversation was all about the relationship between Liangzhou and the foreign tribes.
Ninety-nine percent of the comments about Yang Guang in history are bad. In addition, the influence of novels and unofficial histories such as "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" has been too deep, which makes people think that Yang Guang does not do his job all day long, except for intrigues, pleasure-seeking, and drunkenness. He did nothing but massacre heroes and harm the common people.
But in fact, Yang Guang was as diligent in political affairs as any other hero. In addition to handling domestic government affairs, he was also thinking hard about the development plans of the Sui Dynasty, and even had many thoughts about foreign races and colonialism. The methods of the empire and the little devil are exactly the same. Not only does he want to seize the resources of foreigners, enslave foreigners, and support agents, he also wants to promote Han culture to the whole world and conquer foreigners in terms of language, clothing, culture, thoughts, and souls. The foreign races all over the world regarded the Sui Dynasty as a cultural holy land and spiritual belief, and finally created a "Han Cultural Common/Prosperity Circle" led by the Sui Dynasty.
To be honest, Yang Ji felt that the kid's plan was actually quite good. The key was to see who would take the lead.
If a foreigner planned to be the leader, Yang Ji would definitely not accept it and would lead the elite divisions of the Sui Dynasty to destroy them completely. But if the leader was the Sui Dynasty, there would be no problem at all.
Yang Ji exhaled towards the gray sky. His ambitions had been encouraged by Yang Guang, the 'moustache'. At this time, he wished he could have wings and fly to Liangzhou to display his ambitions.
From a distance, he had already looked at the gate of the palace. At this moment, several people on horseback came towards us, and the man in charge shouted from a distance: "Your Highness, King Wei, wait a moment."
"Who are you?" Yang Ji asked with a frown.
"I am the steward of Princess Leping's Mansion." The visitor dismounted, bowed his hands, and respectfully handed over an invitation, saying: "Princess will hold a banquet at Furong Tower tomorrow, and this is for you. Post.”
