In the Renshou Hall of Ziwei City, Luoyang, in the afternoon, Yang Guang read Yang Ji's reply to him.
Yang Guang left Wang Wei, Liang Mo, Li Qiong, and Liu Wujian to the lonely Yang Lun and Liu Quan, hoping that they would work together to carry out a vigorous and drastic reform in Jizhou. But just as Yang Ji expected, Yang Guang really wrote to Yang Ji to communicate with him about the matter; and Yang Ji's reply also arrived in his hands today.
In the letter, Yang Ji focused on the Shandong gentry. Yang Ji believed that although the Shandong gentry did not have a strong presence in the center of the Sui Dynasty, they were the overlords of Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, and they were also a balance constraint on Guanlong. The most important power of the nobility. Jizhou has five surnames and seven clans, including the Boling Cui family, the Zhaojun Li family, and the Qinghe Cui family. If the imperial court promotes the Liangzhou model in Jizhou, the Shandong gentry represented by these three major clans will definitely be threatened. The nobles of Guanlong formed a team to fight against the imperial court and the imperial power together.
At that time, will the "court" risk the alliance between Shandong gentry and Guanlong nobles to carry out the reform to the end, or will it terminate the policy and capture Yang Lun and other reformists?
This discussion and question not only made Yang Guang think deeply, but also made him break into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he hadn't started yet, otherwise he would have forced the Shandong nobles and the Guanlong nobles to join forces. But what troubled him was that the appointment letter had just been issued. If he transferred Wang Wei, Liang Mo, Li Qiong, and Liu Wujian at this moment, To supervise other states is to make the mistake of changing orders every day.
For a moment, he was a little confused. After thinking for a while, he looked at his brother-in-law Xiao Yu who was standing next to him.
I wanted to show him the letter, but after thinking about it I decided not to.
The Integrity Department headed by Xiao Ying and Yang Gongren did not disappoint Yang Guang. Since the Integrity Department was officially launched, it has taken down countless redundant officials, as well as idle officials in the three categories of casual, nobility and honorary officials. What is especially rare is that he Every case they tried and every idle official they dealt with left people speechless.
However, as Yang Ji said before, Xiao Yu is a man of outstanding ability and uprightness, but he has a particularly bad temper and a very serious nature. He does not understand the ways of the world and the necessary compromises. He always does things that almost make people angry to death from time to time. . In the past, Yang Guang thought that Yang Ji was young and energetic and could not listen to unfaithful advice, so he exaggerated. But now, he thinks that Yang Ji is still conservative.
Xiao Yuhe and Yang Gongren had the same temperament. After the two got together, they exploded with the power of one plus one equals a hundred, and they often did things that made Yang Guang's hair stand on end and made him angry to death. For example, now, Xiao Yu is suing people in the name of the Integrity Department, and their list includes all the ministers and ministers of the three provinces and six ministries.
Yang Guang was somewhat accustomed to Xiao Yu and Yang Gongren's appalling actions, but at this moment he was still shocked by the generosity given to them. If it were done according to their standards, no one in the entire court would survive.
However, when he asked Master Yin Shi once, Master Yin Shi actually said that Xiao Yu was relatively good. If he were replaced by Yu Shinan, Liu Jie, Wang Cong, Liu Xuan, Liu Zhuo, Zhang Xutuo, and Yang Shanhui, they would be better than Xiao Yu. Yu is even more terrifying.
This also made Yang Guang start to admire Yang Ji; he was even afraid of Xiao Yu and Yang Gongren, but there were so many of them around Yang Ji. I really don’t know how Yang Ji spent these years. At the same time, he also realized that Yang Ji Every time Ji Why comes back, he doesn't want to go back to Liangzhou, because with so many "Xiao Yu" together, no one can stand it, no one is afraid of them, and if it were him, he wouldn't want to go back.
Just when Yang Guang racked his brains and couldn't send Xiao Yu away, Queen Xiao, wearing a goose-yellow palace dress, entered the palace.
"Queen, you are here." Yang Guang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the graceful and beautiful Queen Xiao with gentle eyes.
Empress Xiao wanted to come forward directly as usual, but she found that Lao Qi was also there, and the smile on her face suddenly froze. She quickly straightened her face, calmed her expression, and saluted respectfully: "I see the saint!"
"No gifts!" Yang Guang secretly laughed. After the seventh eldest son of the Xiao family returned to the court, he made everyone in the Xiao family restless and anxious. Even the queen was scolded by him when the three of them were alone. Several times, so Queen Xiao was also a little afraid of her younger brother.
"Thank you, saint!" Queen Xiao came over with a smile on her face as beautiful as a spring flower, and said to Xiao Yu, "Is Shi Wen here too?"
"The humble minister meets the queen!" Xiao
Yu straightened her face and saluted solemnly.
Empress Xiao glanced at Yang Guang and saw that he was smiling helplessly, so she had no choice but to say softly to Xiao Yu: "Xiao Qing's body is flat."
"Thank you, Queen!" Xiao Yu flatly thanked her.
Yang Guang said to Empress Xiao: "I want to go to Guanwen Hall to see A'hai. You and your brother and sister haven't seen each other for a few days. It's a good time to chat."
Empress Xiao was greatly surprised. She knew that although her brother was overly upright, his recent actions had won the Holy Heart. Why did Yang Guang seem to dislike him so much?
Xiao Yu looked at this and that, his mind spinning.
In fact, he is a very smart and shrewd person, and he knows that his appearance is very unpleasant and disgusting; but as Yang Ji once said to him - "You Xiao Yu have a bad temper. You are not good at sociability, do not understand the world, and are not suitable for the officialdom where women are cunning and slippery. The most suitable position for you is to be an annoying defender of the law. If you always use this selfless image to be an official and meet people, then It will do absolutely no harm to you."
After getting along with each other for so many years, Xiao Yu felt more and more that Yang Ji was right and that he was suitable for doing such offending things. However, instead of feeling forced, he actually enjoyed it.
After thinking about it, he cupped his hands and said, "I thank you, saint."
Yang Guang nodded and said: "Queen, go."
Queen Xiao Ying claimed that it was true and left the Renshou Palace with Xiao Yu.
Yang Guang ignored them and walked from the back door to the Guanwen Hall behind!
In the palace!
Yang Jian sat behind a desk, writing in a daze, his face under the purple gold crown full of distress.
What I am writing now is a self-examination. The main idea is that I don't know how to behave, and I teased my aunt/sister without warning, which caused rumors to spread and made the royal family lose face. But what should I write next, but I don't know where to start.
"See you Aye!" Seeing Yang Guang walking into the palace, Yang Jian quickly stood up and saluted.
He didn't know who he was provoking. Ever since he told the truth in Laichuntai, he would be picked up and beaten from time to time. In fact, this is related to Yang Guang's hatred of his father and his pity for the hearts of parents all over the world. In particular, he read the sentence "It is the fault of a son not to teach his father" in the "Three Character Classic" and found that Yang Jian's deterioration was somewhat related to his previous behavior. Related to stocking.
Yang Jian was originally a very good child, but when he lacked the strict teachings of his parents, he let himself go. At first, he just "stealed needles", but later he became more and more courageous. In addition, he was young and had no control, and people around him did what he wanted. Okay, so it gets worse and worse.
Yang Guang originally planned to release Yang Jian and let him become a state shepherd, but seeing that his good wife/wife was addicted, and if he went to other places, it would only harm the people, so he simply kept him by his side for education.
Yang Ji can make Yang Xian submissive, but he doesn't believe in himself as his father, so he can't do it!
Didn't you say you have ambitions for the crown prince?
Well!
I will let you handle the endless government affairs.
I asked him to write a political article about a certain incident, describing the cause, process, results, and impact of the incident, and then come up with preventive measures.
If your prevention method is wrong and bad!
Rewrite!
Of course, the most important thing is that Yang Guang found Yang Jian's happiness - when nothing happens or when he is in a bad mood, it is really refreshing to scold and beat his son.
Seeing Yang Xian salute at this time, Yang Guang ignored it and sat down on his seat. He took a sip of tea in his hand, then looked at the self-examination letter on the desk. After reading it for a while, his brows were furrowed. Crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket.
In the wastebasket, there was already half a basket of paper balls. It was obvious that Yang Jian had written many self-criticisms, but none of them satisfied Yang Guang.
He saw that several pieces of paper had been written on Yang Jian's desk, and he ordered the chamberlain on the side: "Go and show me what he has written."
"Here!" The chamberlain hurriedly came forward to get the paper that Yang Jian had written and handed it to Yang Guang.
Yang Guang took the reading, but his expression changed drastically. The more he looked at it, the angrier he became. He slapped the paper on the table with a vicious look, looked at Yang Jian fiercely, and roared like thunder: "You bastard! You did such a heinous thing, yet you still remember it so vividly, you indulge in it, you can’t extricate yourself, and you have nothing to worry about.
The details are shown in the writing, and the writing is even more filthy. He is really a shameless beast and bastard! "
Yang Jian looked helpless: "???"
After the court was over, you said that I had no memory, was vague, secretive, cursed, and asked me to rewrite it; but now that I have written it in detail, you actually said that my "memory is so fresh that I am addicted to it and can't extricate myself." !
Although, I did have some memories that were particularly fresh and I was addicted to them, and even got hardened when I re-read them. But didn’t I write this according to your request?
"What are you doing standing there, not rewriting it!" Yang Guang glared angrily, slapped the table and reprimanded.
"Here!" Yang Xian quickly tightened his grip on the pen barrel, raised his sore wrist, and began to rack his brains to write again.
"Sage, it's time for lunch." A chamberlain entered the palace to report.
Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "Bring it up."
Yang Jian slept next to the rice and wheat in the palace last night. He got up from time to time to watch the growth, and then recorded it one by one. He was called here early in the morning, and so far he has not eaten a grain of rice. He was so hungry that his eyes were filled with stars. When he heard the word "lunch", he felt extremely hungry and thirsty, but he had to pick up his brush and write a self-criticism. Although he wanted to cope with the situation, his father was respectfully called "the emperor among emperors" by Uncle Wang. Literary man, poet", if he acted hastily, how could he not know?
I have no choice but to endure my hunger and write silently.
After a while, the waiter brought the food and placed it on the table in front of Yang Guang. There were dishes full of steaming hot and fragrant food.
Yang Jian felt even more restless when he smelled the aroma of the food. He couldn't even write a word, and his stomach growled with hunger. However, his father had no intention of inviting him to dinner.
He knew that his father did this on purpose! This was intentional to torment him, just because Uncle Wei Wang had done this before.
As expected of two brothers.
The methods are exactly the same!
But one thing means one thing, and two things means two things. Yang Jian thought that his Uncle Wei Wang would be more humane after all, and would always have people arrange meals afterwards; but his father was different. If he could not be satisfied, there would be no hope of eating any food.
As expected by Yang Jianzhi, after Yang Guang had finished his lunch, he asked someone to take the food away, as if he had forgotten about him.
After Yang Guang finished eating, he looked at Yang Jian again. This glance made Yang Jian feel despair, because he didn't write a word at the moment.
Just when Yang Jian was anxious, Yang An walked in and handed a letter to Yang Guang.
When Yang Guang opened it and took a look, his face became extremely ugly.
The content of the letter not only contained information about Yang Xuanting and Yang Jishan's journey to the west, but also the news that their pleas to Yang Ji were unsuccessful. In addition, it also mentioned that after Yang Ji traveled west, the Yang brothers, who were particularly unwilling to give up, even gave gifts to Yang Ji's third wife but were refused to see them.
After Yang Guang finished reading, he pinched a ball with a heavy face, frowned and asked Yang An: "It seems that Vajra Slave's concubine Liu Rumei and concubine Zhang Chuchen came from the Duke of Chu's palace?"
"Exactly!" Yang An was heartbroken and quickly bowed: "Sage, as far as I know, Concubine Liu's parents were originally slaves of the Duke of Chu, and they were refugees who were forced to be slaves. They are different from ordinary people. There is no difference between the domestic slaves. Concubine Liu became the singer of the Duke of Chu because of her extraordinary talent and appearance. As for Mrs. Zhang (Zhang Chuchen), she did have a good family when she was a child. "
"Oh?" Yang Guang asked curiously: "What family?"
"Mrs. Zhang is the daughter of General Zhang Zhongsu of the Chen Dynasty, and her mother is from the Shen family in the south. Her father Zhang Zhongsu was once a general of Lu Zhongsu's army. Situ Yanggong went down the river when he was pacifying Chen Dynasty, and met the resistance of the Chen Dynasty army in Yanzhou. (In the Yangtze River near Jinzhijiang River)."
Yang Guang nodded when he heard this and motioned for Yang An to continue.
He was the commander-in-chief of Pingchen and knew the battle very well. At that time, the Sui Dynasty was not good at navy. Yang Su, who went down the river, suffered a small loss from Lu Zhongsu in Yanzhou at the beginning of the war. Later, he changed to a combination of navy and army tactics, which finally defeated the Chen Dynasty. His defense line defeated the brave and skilled Lu Zhongsu, but he didn't know that Lu Zhongsu also had a Zhang Zhongsu under his command.
It's really interesting.
"Zhang Zhongsu died in Yanzhou. Coincidentally, after the fall of the Chen Dynasty, his wife Shen and his daughter Zhang Chuchen were rewarded by the late emperor to Situ Yang Gong. At the end of the second year of Renshou, King Wei seemed to be holding the book "Spring River Flowers" written by the saint. Moonlight night
", "Ambition" ran to deceive Mr. Yang. Duke Yang was fooled by him and gave the Zhang family's mother and daughter, Concubine Liu and ten other slaves to King Wei. Yang An glanced at Yang Guang, who couldn't help laughing, and continued: "Shen is now married to Gongsun Huan, the chief steward of the palace, and Zhang Chuchen is now Mrs. Zhang." "
"Haha!" Yang Guang couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Speaking of which, this matter actually had something to do with him. After Yang Ji was "assassinated" by He Ruohuailiang in Furong Garden, he suggested that Yang Ji bring more martial arts masters with him when he went out. Unexpectedly, Yang Ji asked him directly. Moreover, what he wanted was a beautiful female swordsman. It would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he asked Yang Ji to find it by himself. He also said that Yang Su had a lot of people. As long as he wrote a poem that satisfied Yang Su, he might be able to achieve it. Purpose.
But at that time, Yang Ji could only write "Spring sleeps without waking up, mosquitoes bite everywhere. A slap will kill many people." He was afraid that Yang Ji could not deceive Yang Su, so he gave his poems to Yang Ji to cheat.
But later, he didn't know what Yang Ji did. He deceived ten sword servants and their families from Yang Su without using his cheating poems, and then used his poems "Spring Flowers on the Spring River" and "Ambition" , and deceived my sister-in-law Xiao Ying to death.
At the same time, based on his "Ambition", he also derived quite good "Man Ting Fang·Mountain Moist Cloud" and "Tian Jing Sha·Autumn Thoughts"; from then on, Yang Ji seemed to have enlightened and wrote He has written many popular classic poems and articles.
Thinking of this, Yang Guang was particularly proud!
The reason why Yang Ji is what he is today and why he wrote so many classic poems and articles is ultimately because of Yang Guang. If it weren't for his wake-up call, how could Yang Ji realize it?
Yang Guang read the contents of the letter again and suddenly asked: "Does Mr. Zhang have no royal title now?"
Yang An was stunned for a moment by the lack of words, and then he bowed and said: "Sage, Mrs. Zhang is the concubine of King Wei, so naturally she has no royal life..."
"That won't work. No matter what, Zhang is still a member of our royal family." Yang Guang frowned and said, "Instruct the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple to give Zhang the royal orders he deserves."
"Here!" Yang An secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yang Guang didn't mind Yang Xuanting and Yang Jishan's contact with Yang Ji.
To be honest, these two people were people he had watched grow up, and he really didn't want Yang Guang to be alienated and hostile to Yang Ji.
