There were three people who made great efforts in Dugu Jialuo's funeral, Yang Su, Pei Ju, and Niu Hong.
It is said that in order to find a blessed place to bury Dugu Empress, Yang Su led his people day and night, traveling hundreds of miles, working hard despite the wind and rain. On the day of the burial, he was even more busy personally, and everything was arranged properly. Sure enough, Yang Jian was greatly moved.
So after Yang Su fell ill, Yang Jian ordered hundreds of officials to visit him to show his respect for Yang Su.
Pei Ju and Niu Hong, the Minister of Rites, formulated the funeral specifications for the queen with reference to "Qi Li" and laid the foundation for the future royal funeral system in the Sui Dynasty.
The scale of the funeral of Empress Dugu is unprecedented. As for the reason for referring to "Qi Li", it is because Qi is the hometown of Confucius, the pioneer of Chinese etiquette, and "Qi Li" is respected as Confucian orthodoxy.
Pei Ju even referred to the explanation of the posthumous method in "Yi Zhou Shu" and gave the posthumous title "Xian" to Queen Dugu.
Those who are smart and wise are called Xian, those who are virtuous and successful are called Xian, and those who are wise and winged are called Xian.
Yang Jian was right, so Dugu Jialuo's posthumous title was Queen of Documents.
Yang Jian ordered the construction of the largest meditation temple in the world between Yongyang and Heping in the southwest corner of Daxing City to commemorate Queen Dugu. This Buddhist temple was built by Yu Wenkai, Minister of Industry.
...
Dugu Feng'er was brought back safely and placed in Yang Ming's private house.
It was inconvenient for him to dispatch people from among his own maids, so he asked Yang Yinjiang for help. The latter brought twenty maids from the Yue Gong Mansion, who would be responsible for Dugu Feng'er's daily life in the future.
Yang Yinjiang has already received the exact information from her grandfather, not to mention that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also hinted at the result when he went to visit his grandfather, so now she regards herself as Yang Ming's official wife.
As for Dugu Feng'er's matter, she was not angry at all. On the contrary, it made her feel that Yang Ming was a passionate person, and she was not wrong.
So how to place Dugu Feng'er, she arranged it in an orderly manner.
If any maidservant fails to serve her attentively, she will be beaten to death.
"Before we return to Jingzhou, we must send her out first to avoid making mistakes and not being able to take care of her."
Yang Yinjiang stood beside Yang Ming, helping him smooth out his wrinkled linen clothes, and said softly: "The approval document for the treasury allocation has been sent to Jingzhou. You and Yuan Wen should say hello in advance."
Yang Ming smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, if I don't go back, no one will have the guts to touch the treasury's money."
Yang Yinjiang smiled and nodded, looking at Dugu Feng'er who was screaming crazily in the room, and said:
"I have dispatched all the surrounding residents so that no one will be disturbed. I also told Wu Houwei not to come here when they patrol the city."
"It's been three days since I left, so I'll look at you with admiration. When will you be able to say hello to Wu Houwei?" Yang Ming said with a smile.
Yang Yinjiang pursed her lips: "Thanks to you, the matter between you and me has been spread in Daxing now. Marquis Wu who is in charge of Jing'anfang comes from Zuowei Mansion, so of course it will be easy."
General Zuowei turned out to be Yuan Min. After Yuan Min's death, Yang Guang took over first. After becoming the prince, General Zuowei fell into the hands of the second-eldest Yang Jian.
However, Yang Jian was the leader from afar, and the two generals below did the actual work.
Within half a year of his father Yang Guang's concurrent appointment, Zuowei Mansion removed many of Yuan Min's former confidants and replaced them with his own people. Therefore, Yang Ming can now call the Zuowei Mansion at his will.
The matter between him and Yang Yinjiang was probably caused by that old boy Yang Yue. Yang Ming also just found out about it from Yang Lihua, but within a few days, he found out about it.
Thinking about it, Pei Ju must have been having a hard time these past few days.
After settling Dugu Feng'er, Yang Ming heard the news within a few days.
Because of his merits in formulating the funeral system of the Sui Dynasty and presenting his posthumous title, Pei Ju also received the title of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
In the past, Su Wei was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but now Su Wei is the Minister of the Right Pushe, so it is the same whether he is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Furthermore, since the Ministry of Personnel is under the control of Zuopushe, it is not appropriate for Su Wei to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
In this way, it seemed that Pei Ju was under Yang Su's control, but in fact it was quite different.
Because at this time, Pei Ju held the five positions of Ministry of Internal History, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Minister of Dali Temple, General Zuowuwei, and Nayan of the Ministry of Menxia. This is the power of the prime minister.
Apart from Yang Su and Su Wei, he has the most power.
Moreover, Yang Jian also made Pei Xuanji a general (honored title), from Qianniu Preparation in the East Palace, to Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, from the fourth rank.
Sinong Temple is responsible for the national warehouse, forest garden, market, fuel supply and other affairs. Shaoqing is the adjutant and is in charge of the national treasury. This power is huge.
Yang Ming had no idea that all of this was planned by Yang Lihua.
Because after they met that night, Pei Ju learned the specific details from his daughter, and then he came to visit Yang Lihua in person.
As Yang Lihua thought, her daughter was not as important as her son after all, and the benefits Yang Lihua gave her were too great.
Yang Lihua, who has no real power, can influence the selection of a minister, which is rare in other dynasties.
The reason why Yang Jian agreed happily was actually because Pei Xuanji married his own granddaughter. Without this relationship, wouldn't it be a joke to become a young minister at the age of sixteen?
In the Sui Dynasty, only the clan and people related to the clan by marriage were allowed to have fun, and no one else could.
This is why those wealthy families want to be related to the royal family, because they can have fun.
...
When Yang Su fell ill, it was actually due to the cold, and because of his age, his recovery was relatively slow.
But he fell ill because he was presiding over the queen's funeral, so in Yang Jian's heart, he was a loyal person. In addition to rewarding him with gold, silver, food and silk, he also asked the prince Yang Guang to visit Yang Su on his behalf.
Yang Ming originally didn't plan to go, but after his eldest brother Yang Zhao visited, he came back and told Yang Ming that his grandpa and mother-in-law asked him and his second brother to go too.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
As a result, Yang Ming found the second child and after asking, he found out that this kid had been there a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, the second child has also improved and understands the ways of the world.
So Yang Ming asked Xu Jing to prepare some gifts, and went out by car to visit Yue Gong's Mansion.
The person who greeted him outside the door was Yang Yue. Maybe it was because the dust had settled and everyone would be one of their own from now on, so Yang Yue acted extremely close to him.
"The door of Yue Gong Mansion will be open to His Highness at any time from now on."
Yang Ming chuckled: "You mean, the door of your mansion was closed to me before?"
"Your Highness," Yang Yue said in a hey voice, "Since Your Highness was born, you can come and go here as you please, and you can do whatever you want."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Then please trouble Yang Shaoqing to send all your treasures to my house."
Don’t you understand the kind words? Yang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth and quickly changed the topic:
"Brother knows that His Highness is coming and is already waiting in the tea room. Xuangan has received an order from the Ministry of Personnel and will return to the capital to take up the post of Minister of Rites."
Yang Ming suddenly stopped: "Since he is transferred, why doesn't he say hello to me? What? Does he think I can't control him in the future?"
He is your future father-in-law, why do you always want to care about him? Yang Yue smiled and said:
"It's not like His Highness is not in Jingzhou. He didn't have time to tell you."
Yang Ming said: "Xuangan has done a good job in Jiangxia. I don't agree with his transfer to the Ministry of Rites."
Damn... we couldn’t talk anymore, Yang Yue led the way with a drooping face, taking Yang Ming into the tea room.
This time, the old boy finally didn't keep him company anymore.
Yang Su's illness has not yet recovered, so there are always two beautiful concubines by his side, sometimes rubbing his hands and sometimes changing the sweat towel on his forehead.
After seeing Yang Ming, Yang Su pointed to the position in front of him.
Yang Ming nodded and sat down, looking at the chessboard between them.
Don't ask me to play chess, I can't.
Yang Su smiled and said: "Let's play a game?"
Yang Ming shook his head: "Don't dare to show your embarrassment."
"It doesn't matter," Yang Su took the lead and then looked at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming shamelessly acted blindly.
After a while, Yang Su finally realized that this kid didn't know how to do it at all, so he put his hands back into his warm sleeves and said with a smile:
"Why does Your Highness want to rebuild the Xiangyang navy? It seems that there are other ways to solve the problem of water bandits."
Yang Ming said: "On the river, if there is no navy, there will be no peace on both sides."
Yang Su smiled and said: "Then there's no need for a five-tooth ship, right?"
When did you become unable to speak? Yang Ming chuckled and said, "You can use it, but you can't live without it."
Yang Su smiled, did not continue the topic, and instead said:
"Your Majesty, just be aware of the land inventory in Jingzhou and don't make it public, let alone report it to the court."
It seemed that the other party knew about it. Yang Ming frowned and said, "Is this the same situation outside of Jingzhou?"
Yang Su nodded: "It's too involved. If I want to reverse this matter, it will affect my foundation in the Sui Dynasty. At present, the supreme energy is limited, and it is not appropriate to expose it at this time. In this matter, I can only hope that the prince will Will do it in the future.”
You think too highly of him. My father is much more successful than my grandfather.
Yang Su's words made it very clear that the Supreme Being was old and his body could not withstand the drastic reforms, so he could only rely on his successors.
This is also a common problem among Chinese emperors. They always leave a mess for those who follow them. Some successors will find ways to clean up the mess, and some will not even be able to see where the mess is.
From this point of view, the amount of acres in the entire Sui Dynasty was falsely reported. If the situation in other places was similar to Jingzhou, at least half of it was falsely reported.
In other words, the taxes on the common people are half as heavy.
In the long run, there is no need for dad to mess around. As long as there is no reform, big things will happen.
Yang Ming agreed with Yang Su's point of view. This matter really cannot be revealed now, so he said:
"Does Yue Gong have a good solution in his mind?"
"It's difficult!" Yang Su said slowly: "This bad debt involves too many people and it lasts a long time. Besides, the treasury has been abundant in recent years and the place is still peaceful. At this time, no one will break this window. Paper."
Yang Ming understood that as long as nothing happened, everyone would treat it as nothing happened.
The current peaceful and prosperous age of the Sui Dynasty is actually very fragile. It has been twenty-three years since the founding of the country, and many things have not been done yet.
At this time, the Sui Dynasty urgently needed a capable and courageous successor.
Comrade Yang Guang has both these points, but he goes too far.
His courage far exceeds his abilities.
The most terrifying thing is that in Yang Guang's heart, his ability far outweighs his courage. This is almost an unsolvable problem.
