The three provinces of Shangshu, Neishi, and Menxia belong to the government affairs agencies of the imperial court and are responsible for decision-making and issuing decrees. The Eleven Temple takes over the decrees of the Shangshu Province and implements them. There is a superior-subordinate relationship between the two.
But in the Sui Dynasty, the subordinate relationship between them was not very clear, because both Yang Jian and Yang Guang were very serious in seizing power in various central institutions.
Generally speaking, their powers are clearly demarcated, but their exercise is unclear.
In the entire Sui Dynasty, there were six ministers plus left and right servants, known as eight seats. They were in charge of everything and could intervene in any government affairs.
The chief officials of the Internal History Province and the Menxia Province are basically the same as the prime ministers.
As for the Eleven Temple, it is a court affairs organization with a very clear division of labor. Each one is in charge of its own affairs. In name, except for the left and right servants, the Eleven Temple only listens to the emperor and the prince, but in fact, they only serve the emperor.
The Taichang Temple under the supervision of Gao Jiong was responsible for the emperor's sacrifices, music, medicine, divination and other affairs. It also governed the suburbs, Taimiao, Taiyue, Taiyi, Taifu and other departments. It had a staff of 347 people and was the eleventh temple. head.
Although Yang Gongren is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and has a great say in local administrative affairs, it does not work in Taichang Temple.
So he needed to say hello to Gao Jiong and make it clear that Chen Shuda was recommended by the King of Qin. If he said that he recommended it himself, I would be sorry, but he would have no face with Gao Jiong.
At present, there are eleven vacancies in the establishment of Taichang Temple. Those who are below the seventh rank are all minor officials. As long as Gao Jiong nods, they can go in and work.
But Gao Jiong is always serious in his work, and not everyone can use it, so he needs to investigate first and only hire this person if he has real talent and learning.
The famous Ouyang Xun in history is currently serving as a doctor in Taichang Temple.
Don't think that this is just an idle job. In fact, the power is not small. He is in charge of guiding the public and formulating the five rites (auspicious, honorable, guest, military, and inauspicious). Those who should be given posthumous titles below the rank of prince will be decided by the doctor.
For this position, you are given a posthumous title, including princes and princes. In other words, if Yang Ming died now, the person who chose the posthumous title to submit to the emperor would be Ouyang Xun.
If Yang Zhao died, then Ouyang Xun would not be able to take care of it, and all the officials in the court would have to discuss it together.
Gao Jong thought highly of Ouyang Xun, especially because he had good calligraphy skills. In Gao Jong's opinion, Ouyang Xun was the first person in the Sui Dynasty in calligraphy.
However, Yang Guang was recognized as the number one calligrapher in the Sui Dynasty, and at least 60% of this was true.
Gao Jiong probably knew something about Chen Shuda from Ouyang Xun, so he sent people to find Chen Shuda and asked him to enter the mansion to talk about it.
At present, there is a huge gap between the knowledge of Chen Shuda and Gao Jiong. Therefore, after the inspection, Gao Jiong was not impressed. However, the knowledge of Chen Shuda was still good, so he was given the position of Taizhu. Ninth grade, holding the cashier's hand to the god, offering sacrifices and kneeling to read blessings.
It's not a good position, basically just a reciter of congratulations, but Chen Shuda is already very satisfied, because after some discussions with Gao Jiong, he has been deeply impressed by Gao Jiong and feels that he will definitely work under him in the future. Benefited a lot.
.......
Shi Wansui, Chang Suncheng, Guo Yan, Li Jing and others have all returned to the capital.
Lord Li Jing was promoted to a higher rank and was named a general. On the recommendation of Prince Yang Zhao, he was appointed as the general of Youwuwei. The general of Youwuwei was concurrently appointed by Yang Ming.
In other words, from now on, Li Jing officially enters the military system. In this system, Li Jing is like a fish in water. Not only is he protected by Yang Ming, who is the general of two palaces, but he is also protected by his teacher Yang Su, and his two uncles Han Sengshou and Han Hong also have extremely high reputations in the military.
Coupled with Li Jing's own performance in the battle of Pujin Pass, it was very smooth to take over the post of general.
His wife, Hong Funu, also lives in the capital. From time to time, she would go to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to promote her relationship with Princess Yang Yinjiang. Li Jing and his wife felt as if they were entering their own home when they entered the Prince's Mansion.
Yang Yinjiang and Li Jing were old friends, and the other party was her husband's absolute confidant, so she treated them as her own people, and even opened a courtyard in the house specifically for Li Jing and his wife to rest at noon.
"Youwuwei is the fourth largest military headquarters among the twelve guards. It has a standing force of 24,000 people. The main camp of the guard is in Feng Yi County. It has been under the control of the King of Wei since the founding of the Sui Dynasty."
Yang Yinjiang asked someone to carry her son Yang Rui down, and then said to Li Jing:
"In the military mansion, most of them are old people who serve as King Wei, but today is different from the past. Your Highness is in charge of the Youwu Guard now, so the pharmacist should use more people who are comfortable with him in the future."
Her intention was very obvious. She wanted Li Jing to cultivate more of his cronies and place confidants in the military mansion, so as to better control Youwuwei.
As for the other general, named Yang Xinmin, who came from a clan, if Yang Ming did not delegate power, his power would not be much greater.
Of course Li Jing understood, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Princess, your highness will be able to run your humble job well when he is away from the capital."
Yang Yinjiang is a rich man and has always been generous. When he knew that the house of Li Jing and his wife in the capital was small and dilapidated, he directly rewarded him with a large house located in Anyi Fang, just south of Dongshi City. This house Located on the 94th line, it is considered a valuable place in the capital.
Li Jing and his wife quickly rejected such a generous offer at first, not wanting to accept it at all.
But who is Yang Yinjiang? The person who inherited Yang Yueqi's power made Li Jing accept it calmly after a few words.
She knew that the most important thing in her husband's heart was Li Jing, so she didn't feel bad spending money on Li Jing.
After Li Jing and his wife left, Yang Yinjiang went to Chen Shuyi's dormitory and found a strange woman in the room. Although her dress was a little plain, she had a distinguished temperament and must have been from a good background.
Chen Shuyi stood up and introduced: "This is my aunt, Mrs. Wang."
Yang Yinjiang nodded and smiled, motioning for the other party to sit down and talk, and then said: "Are you from Langya?"
"Back to the princess, I am the daughter of the old Chen Wang Youli and the wife of Chen Shuda," said Wang.
Yang Yinjiang nodded, sat down aside, and said with a smile: "I know your father, so you should be in the same room as Taifu Wang during the Zhongjin Dynasty?"
"Exactly," Wang nodded.
The Middle Jin Dynasty is the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which is the Eastern Jin Dynasty established in the south after Sima Rui moved south.
Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has been called the Zhong Jin Dynasty, which means the resurgence of the Jin Dynasty.
Chen Shuda’s wife Wang Nvjie is a descendant of the founding hero of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Taifu Wang Dao. The peak period of the Langya Wang family was in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Therefore, there is a saying that "the king and the horse share the world". The horse here refers to the Sima family. .
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was another very outstanding family, the Xie family of Chen County, and its representative was Xie An.
In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people. They were the Wang family of Langya and the Xie family of Chenjun.
The various powerful families in ancient China were active in different periods and each took the lead. Therefore, you cannot say that King Langya is inferior to Hongnong Yang, because the peak periods of their respective families are not in the same time period.
After the three of them chatted, Yang Yinjiang was stunned.
She didn't expect that Chen Shuyi was planning a huge trap.
The ancestors of the Langya Wang family lived in Linyi County, Langya County, which is also Linyi City, Shandong Province.
Since ancient times in China, Shandong has been a place rich in beauties. The girls here are tall, have good skin, and have great figures. Therefore, what Chen Shuyi and her aunt Wang are currently discussing is to select a beauty from the Wang family to donate. To His Majesty the Emperor.
The Langya Wang family was the first aristocratic family in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it was not very good during the Sui Dynasty and was far inferior to the Taiyuan Wang family.
Princess Day was very excited about Chen Shuyi's suggestion at first. After all, as long as the women of the family successfully entered the palace and were favored by His Majesty, then their royal family would also have help. But when she knew that Chen Shuyi was just a means to frame King Qi , I felt unhappy.
Yang Yinjiang was even more stunned and felt that Chen Shuyi was too risky.
Because Chen Shuyi's idea is to select beauties from the Wang family and try to find a way to let the lustful Yang Xian bump into her. With Yang Xian's character, she will probably take action.
And Chen Shuyi would let His Majesty know in advance through the two sisters in the palace that the Wang family would donate a beauty. As long as Yang Xian took action, it would be equivalent to cutting off his own father's Hu.
In her plan, both the emperor and the King of Qi were plotted. She was as bold as Yang Yinjiang, and even thought Chen Shuyi was crazy.
You can tell me about plotting something like this, but how can you let Chen Shuda's wife know about it too?
Yang Yinjiang said directly: "This must not be done. Be careful of playing with fire and burning yourself. The King of Qi is now on the prostrate, so he may not dare to snatch women in the capital. Besides, if it is leaked at this time, big things will happen."
After saying that, Yang Yinjiang looked at Wang, clearly telling her, shut your mouth.
Of course Mrs. Wang could understand her expression and said quickly: "I would rather die than say a word about this matter."
She thought that if the princess flatly refused, then this matter would not work.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shuyi was still very insistent and said:
"We can declare to the outside world that we are going to Shandong to pick up something. At present, Yang Jian's belongings are being held by His Highness in Luoyang. He must want to come back. When he sees this opportunity, he will most likely take action and use it as a bargaining chip. No matter whether he will or not If we see lust, we can let His Majesty know that it was Yang Jing who detained the person. No matter how Yang Jing explains it, Your Majesty may not believe it. After all, his reputation for lust is known to the world."
Yang Yinjiang was stunned, sitting down and thinking deeply. She didn't expect that Chen Shuyi, who had always been carefree, could actually plan careful things? Of course, it is full of loopholes and cannot withstand scrutiny at all. After all, Chen Shuyi has never done this kind of thing before, but her general direction is right.
Although this matter is risky, it is indeed worth a try. Although there are many loopholes, you only need to correct them. The root of the problem is that Chen Shuda's wife knows the inside story, and Yang Yinjiang does not trust this person at all. .
Wang is also very smart and knows that she has been involved. However, because of her low status, she has no right to refuse, so she can only do it. And once this matter is leaked, the first person Princess Qin wants to kill will be her.
So she looked at Chen Shuyi for help, who quickly said:
"Only the three of us know about this matter. My aunt should know the importance. From now on, our Chen family must rely on King Qin. You should know how to do it."
Ms. Wang took the opportunity and hurriedly stated her position: "I must keep my secret secret and never let it out."
Yang Yinjiang frowned and pondered, for such a big matter, involving her family and life, how could she easily trust an outsider?
But without Wang, this matter couldn't be done, so after thinking about it again and again, Yang Yinjiang nodded:
"If this leaks out, your whole family will die."
Wang suddenly broke into a cold sweat and nodded hurriedly. She knew the importance.
