Yang Ming also went to Wei Mansion to express his condolences to Wei Chong and comfort Wei Ting.
In front of Yang Guang that day, Yang Ming had spoken for him, so Wei Ting was very grateful and sent Yang Ming out of the house afterwards, showing great respect.
People do not die when they are over fifty. Wei Chong died at the age of sixty-eight, which is actually considered a long life. Of course, if Princess Qi had not died suddenly and suddenly, he should have lived for a few more years.
Therefore, Wei Ting's resentment was focused on Yang Jie. If Yang Jie hadn't messed up, their family would not be what it is now.
Three days later, the court meeting was held as scheduled.
Yang Guang never mentioned this matter, and the people below did not dare to mention it. Everyone acted as if it had not happened.
But Yang Guang had already made up his mind. When Tokyo was built, he would go to Luoyang to deal with Yang Jian.
During Yang Jian's period, any official position that became vacant had to be filled until Yang Jian found a suitable candidate.
Yang Guang basically inherited Nai's father's political ideas, so he often did this. But now, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the supply of the canal, and someone must take charge of it. Otherwise, King Qi will soon be in chaos in Luoyang. position, so that it affects the opening of the canal.
Yang Guang actually already had a suitable candidate in mind, but he still wanted to hear what these ministers thought.
First, he turned his attention to his son. Yang Guang was very interested in who Yang Ming would recommend.
Although for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, no matter who Yang Ming recommends, he will veto it because he will not let the third child put his hand into the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
"Who does King Qin think can take over the Ministry of Civil Affairs to continue his affairs?"
Yang Ming stood up and said, "My ministers recommend Yang Xuangan, the Minister of Civil Affairs."
As soon as these words came out, many people were dumbfounded, including Comrade Yang Guang.
In terms of qualifications, Yang Xuangan is not qualified. In terms of ability, Yang Xuangan is not good. In terms of situation, Yang Su is now out of office, and Hongnong Yang is on the decline.
Judging from these three points, Yang Xuangan is not even qualified to be a candidate.
But when Yang Xuangan heard these words, he was still very happy, and his waist straightened up instantly. Even though his son-in-law usually didn't give him a good look, he still wouldn't let his guard down at the critical moment.
Yang Guang chuckled: "I will consider it as appropriate."
This sentence not only gave his son face, but also did not irritate Yang Xuangan, but anyone with a discerning eye knew in his heart that Yang Xuangan was really bad.
At this time, Yang Guang's number one favorite came to protect his children and stood up, saying:
"I recommend Duke Xu to be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Xu Guogong is Yuwenshu. There is no doubt that Yuwenshu has this ability, but Yuwenshu himself knows in his heart that it is impossible for him to hold this position. If it were him, the emperor would say hello to him in advance.
If you don’t say hello, there’s no chance.
Next, all parties came to the stage and recommended the best candidates in their minds.
Since it is a recommendation, of course this person must be praised, so everyone who is recommended is praised lavishly, as if the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not use him, and the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs cannot be carried out.
Some people recommended Yang Ming, and Yang Guang even praised him for his vision, but Yang Ming knew in his heart that his father was just doing this acting.
The following bunch of smugglers are being fooled around.
For an entire hour and a half, Yang Guang didn't make up his mind. It was obvious that none of the recommended people were in line with Yang Guang's wishes.
Yang Ming was also thinking about who in the East Palace was suitable for sitting in this position.
He believed that this position must come from the princelings. Yang Xiong and Yang Hong both had opportunities, but these two people were already the prince's tutor and prince's guardian, and they were also officials of the first department. It seemed that the power given to them was too much.
So who else could it be?
Historically, Yang Guang had several ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. One of them, according to history, should be the successor. However, Yang Ming felt that this person seemed to be a bit too low-key at the moment.
Dad doesn’t like him, does he?
This man served as Yang Yong's crown prince and right concubine, and now he is Yang Zhao's crown prince and left concubine. He is also the general of Zuo Houwei. He is not young at all, fifty-eight years old.
Yang Ming wanted to recommend him if it was possible, because his eldest brother Yang Zhao was destined to die of illness this year, and since he had the passion to recommend him, he might need this person in the future.
So Yang Ming stood up and said: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs has a heavy responsibility at the moment. It is responsible for the recruitment of civilians and the supply of food needed for the canal. During the construction of Tokyo, the prince has always been in charge of these two items, so the East Palace is very familiar with the task of taking over the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It went very smoothly, so I recommended Prince Zuo Shuzi Changsun Chi to be Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment... How did this kid think of it?
Is he trying to figure out my feelings? If this is the case, the third child is too terrible.
Fortunately, at this time, Yang Ming deliberately moved his gaze to the opposite side and glanced at Chang Sun Cheng in the crowd. This small movement was caught by Yang Guang, and he was immediately relieved.
Fortunately, it was the third son who brought up Changsun Cheng. Now, he should have discussed it with Changsun Chi to speak to Changsun Chi.
Yang Guang also comforted himself in his heart. His pride did not allow others to guess his thoughts.
After Changsun Cheng received Yang Ming's look, he also looked confused, "What are you looking at me doing?" Didn't the two of us plan this matter in private?
King Qin is always cautious, what happened today? Is the court also a place where eyes can be drawn?
Changsun Chi is the second brother of Changsun Cheng.
Although Yang Guang had made up his mind that he would not agree to anyone recommended by the third child, there was nothing he could do if someone bumped into his favorite candidate.
After all, Changsun Chi belongs to the eldest son, so even if the third eldest brother recommends him, it won't be a big deal.
So Yang Guang nodded happily and said with a smile:
"I deeply agree with King Qin's proposal. Our current plan is to continue the recruitment and food supply of the people as soon as possible. The eldest grandson has been assisting Prince Zuo on the matter of Luoyang. He is very familiar with it. It will be much easier for him to take over."
This sentence is equivalent to a final decision. Although the ministers still disagree, once Yang Guang has made a decision, it is basically impossible to change it.
So Yang Guang announced on the spot that Changsun Chi would be appointed Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, while Prince Zuo Shuzi would still hold the post of concurrently.
It is obvious that it is to increase the power of the Prince's East Palace. Anyone who has any objection is basically a fool.
After the court meeting, Changsun Chengcheng wanted to catch up with Yang Ming to ask about the situation and thank him, but Yang Ming took the initiative to find Su Wei.
Su Wei continued to move forward and said without squinting: "How did your highness guess that it was Changsun Chi? I didn't think it would be him even if I tried my best."
"Of course I guessed it with my head," Yang Ming smiled and walked hand in hand with Su Wei and said, "If there is a vacancy in Shangshu Province, how about Su Gong help me fill it?"
The Shangshu Province is the center of national power. Most of the people here have real talents and knowledge, and many of them are older.
As you get older, your body will have problems, and you will easily report illness and return home, vacating your position. Yang Guang has been adding fresh blood to the Shangshu Province to replace those who are old and decayed.
Su Wei smiled and said: "Your Highness, tell me first, who is the person you want to marry?"
"The current Taizhu of Taichang Temple is Chen Shuda," Yang Ming said.
"Oh...it turns out to be him," Su Wei nodded: "I have heard that this person is involved in nepotism. I heard that the concubine of the King of Qin, Mrs. Chen, is his niece. So, Your Highness Is it also because of this relationship that you recommend this person?"
Yang Ming smiled and said, "No, I personally admire him more."
Su Wei couldn't help but smile and said: "Chen Shuda is lucky to be appreciated by His Highness. Don't worry, if there is a vacancy, I will give priority to this person."
"But..." Su Wei suddenly smiled slyly and said, "Everyone knows that His Highness' concurrent appointment as Honglu Qing is just a temporary move. His Highness must not like this position afterwards, right?"
Yang Ming immediately understood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Su, once Tiele's gang is sent away, I will definitely recommend your son to take over."
Su Wei nodded and smiled.
His son Su Kui is the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. Although there is only one level difference between Shaoqing and Qing, the difference is huge.
Just like the bureau chief and deputy bureau chief in later generations, in front of the chief, there is no difference between the deputy and the others below.
】
And some people have been working as a deputy all their lives and never got promoted.
If Su Kui can become the chief official of a temple, then if there is a change in the future, he will definitely be an upright person and will not be a deputy again.
This is a big step. If you go up, go up. If you can't go up, it will be difficult to go up.
It is definitely not convenient for Su Wei to promote his own son, so it is most suitable to borrow Yang Ming's hand.
Although Yang Ming doesn't seem to have any real power at the moment, don't forget that he is a prince and a true prince.
Su Wei and Yang Ming were separated after they left the Suzaku Gate. As soon as they got on the carriage, they heard Chen Kui say that Chang Sun Cheng was here.
So Yang Ming invited him into the carriage and said with a smile: "If you have anything to do, let's go to your mansion and talk about it."
Changsun Cheng felt extremely honored, but he didn't know that Yang Ming was thinking about his daughter.
His mansion was not on the same line as Jiu San, but the next level. In Jiu Si, because Changsun Cheng had no title, he only had the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, and Yang Ming fought for it for him.
His father's Marquis of Pingyuan County was attacked by his eldest brother, Changsun Zi, but his eldest brother died.
Yang Guang didn't want to see his second son, eldest son Chi, earlier, so he didn't let eldest son Chi attack the prince.
Changsun Mansion is located in Yongningfang, and it occupies a large area. It was awarded to Changsun Cheng by Yang Jian for his achievements in Turkic diplomacy.
Now his children and wife all live here.
After entering the mansion, of course he must be received personally by his wife, Mrs. Gao, who personally serves him with tea and water and serves him diligently.
Everyone who has been served has served others, and no one is an exception.
After Yang Ming took his seat, he smiled and said: "I recommend Brother Nai, and I definitely have selfish motives. Of course, Changsun Chi assists Prince Zuo in the East Palace and works hard, which is one of the reasons why I value him."
At this time, the credit must go to yourself.
Changsun Cheng said with a grateful face: "Second brother is very talented, but it's a pity that he has a dull personality and rarely talks, so he doesn't show up in front of others."
You're being humble... A person with a dull personality cannot be the crown prince and his concubine. Who among the officials above the fifth rank is not a human being?
Yang Ming looked around and said, "When it comes to dullness, the first thing I think of is your son Wuji? Is he in the house?"
"Here I am,"
Changsun Cheng nodded and quickly gave his wife a wink, indicating that he would bring his children in to pay homage to the King of Qin.
Yang Ming is not old, but he is senior. If the eldest son Sun Cheng intends to make friends, he will naturally let the younger members of the family come out and show their faces.
It would always be beneficial if you could become familiar with Yang Ming.
