In the Sui Dynasty, when the crown prince was established, the first four days were chosen: the beginning of spring, the beginning of summer, the beginning of autumn, and the beginning of winter. These are the four establishments.
The beginning of spring is the beginning of the king's year and the beginning of all things.
The beginning of summer is the day of abundance and surplus, the opportunity for all things to grow.
At the beginning of autumn, the Yin Qi begins to decline, so everything is closed.
Beginning of winter, winter means all things are cultivated.
The beginning of spring has passed now, so Yang Ming will succeed the crown prince on the day of the beginning of summer.
The Beginning of Summer in the Sui Dynasty is not a fixed day. It depends on the Big Dipper, which points to the southeast and is called the Beginning of Summer. This year it is probably in the early days of April.
It's only February now, so it's early. However, the edict to establish the crown prince has been issued. He is now the prince. He just has to wait for the canonization ceremony. After all, the ceremony depends on the date and cannot be controlled.
But Yang Ming can already prepare for the move. In the palace, the original Crown Princess Wei Ying has to take his three sons to make room.
Empress Xiao will also buy some gifts to enrich the East Palace. After all, it is full of things used by others. The new prince must have a new look.
The happiest person was Yang Xuangan. He came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion in person and invited his daughter to go back to her parents' home to pick out home decorations, taking whichever one she liked.
Yang Su's house is the largest treasure house in the capital. It is no exaggeration to say that he has everything that is not available in the palace.
The daughter will soon be the princess, and Yang Xuangan straightens his back. From now on, except for the emperor and empress, he can look up to anyone he meets and talk to him. He must be willing to give up on his daughter, even though half of the property in the house was collected by Yang Yue over the years. But Yang Yue was more willing than him.
Carloads of valuables were sent to the East Palace and began to decorate the new residence.
Yan Pi survived the catastrophe this time and was saved by Pei Ju. He didn't even lose his official position. The reason was that Yu Wenkai couldn't do anything anymore and wanted to resign. So once Yu Wenkai left, the entire court engineering experts would It belongs to Yan Bi.
This time, he relied on his excellent skills and was a rare talent. He escaped from disaster for the time being. He might still have the opportunity to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and make a lot of money.
Yang Guang spared him for this reason, but he was fined for five years and the food and housing estate was reduced by 500 households, which was regarded as punishment.
The eldest son, Yang Rui, attacked King Qin. In other words, the current palace of King Qin will belong to Yang Rui in the future, but Yang Rui has been living in the palace and has no use for it.
On this day in Prince Qin's Mansion, a group of elders were having a drink in the banquet hall.
Yan Bi first picked up a glass of wine and smiled at Pei Ju: "Pei Gong really scared me that day. You don't know how I was scolding you in my heart."
As soon as this was said, everyone burst into laughter.
Pei Ju also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Yan Gong has not spoken out your heartfelt words for a long time. If I didn't force you, how could everyone be happy today?"
Gao Xi also smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I will use this glass of wine to make amends to Yan Gong for scaring you."
"Don't dare, don't dare," Yan Bi hurriedly drank up the wine in his hand. Gao Xi was of high seniority, and although he did not have a title at the moment, it was definitely not someone he could despise:
"Dugu Gong defeated me. Fortunately, the situation like that day will not happen again in the future. Otherwise, I don't know if I can withstand the courage I have left."
Everyone started making fun of him.
Yan Bi was also a human being. He was very upright during the Northern Zhou Dynasty because he was related by marriage to the Northern Zhou royal family. The powerful minister Yu Wenhu was his father's cousin, and his wife was the daughter of Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyong.
But after entering the Great Sui Dynasty, I could no longer act arrogantly, and people became much more polite and tactful.
With so many people here today, they must have some agenda. Yang Ming is the prince now, so what does the prince need?
Yes, you need subordinate officials and Qianniu to prepare yourself. Both of them are ministers from the dragon. If Yang Ming ascends the throne as emperor in the future, these people will basically form the core of the future court of the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Guang has already decided on the three divisions. The first rank of the crown prince and grand master is Yang Xiong, the king of Guan. Next, the crown prince and grand tutor is Shangshu’s right servant She Pei Ju. The crown prince and Taibao is Cai Wang Yang Zhiji.
These three are just in name, and they all have their own business to do.
As for the prince's official position, Yang Ming wanted to choose it himself, so Yang Guang did not interfere. However, fifteen thousand cattle were prepared, and Yang Guang chose three for him.
Zhang Xixuan, the eldest son of Zhang Heng, a doctor at Yushitai, Lai Yu, the eldest son of Laihu, and Yu Xi, the second son of Yu Shiji.
This is what his father clearly told him, which people should not be touched.
I have to say that Yang Guang truly loves Lai Huer and Yu Shiji.
Then the remaining twelve places are the primary purpose of the people in the banquet hall.
The Qianniu of the Sui Dynasty were well prepared. As long as they left the palace, the next county magistrate was usually the prefect. This is a tradition.
As for Qian Niu, they usually choose noble-looking and young men.
The reason why Wei Jin came here shamelessly today was because Wei Zhen was also there, and the Wei family's defection at the last moment of the court meeting that day could be regarded as surrender to Yang Ming.
Therefore, Wei Jin felt that there was only one Wei Xianhui in the family, and it was not very safe to become Yang Ming's woman. It was best to get two Qianniu to prepare for her.
Yes, he wanted two, because since Yang Jian, including Yang Yong, Yang Guang, and Yang Zhao, among the four of them, there have been two surnamed Wei.
This is the awesomeness of Jingzhao Webster.
Wei Zhen is not embarrassed, my daughter has let you sleep with her, why can't you do me some favors? So he directly recommended himself:
"The dog is respectful, good at riding and shooting, and possesses civil and military skills. I wonder if I would be lucky enough to be able to prepare for His Highness?"
Yang Ming planned to use this person without Wei Zhen asking, because Wei Huaijing was well-known among the younger generation of the Wei family, and he was also trained by Xijuan. His father also hinted that he wanted to take care of the Wei family's face. .
So Yang Ming nodded and said: "Xianhui has mentioned it to me several times. I have already had this intention. What Wei Shilang said is exactly what he wants."
It's all just talk. The Wei family has deep roots in the Jingzhao area. To put it bluntly, it will take a hundred years to uproot this big tree.
The Wei family also wants to say, I am a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, why do you want to pull it out after a hundred years? What are you dreaming about?
Wei Zhen nodded happily, not bad, not bad, her daughter did not marry in vain, and she also knew how to say good things to her brother.
Then Wei Jin is anxious, because he is Dongjuanfang, but Dongjuanfang has always been the main force against the Qin Palace. Now that he is the prince, is he willing to repair the relationship with their Dongjuan? Not sure yet.
Just as Wei Jin was about to speak, Yang Ming looked directly at Xuangan and said:
"Yuan Qing is still a Sanqi Lang now, right? Let him do it too."
Yang Xuangan nodded arrogantly: "If Yuan Qing goes, the princess will have someone to call her."
Yuanqing is Yang Yuanqing, Yang Yinjiang's half-brother. He is also considered a direct descendant because his mother Cui was married to Yang Xuangan.
This boy is also a ruthless person. Maybe he was bullied by his sister since he was a child. He was oppressed too hard. After his sister got married, no one can control them anymore. Even Yang Xuangan can't control the arrogant group, so under Yang Yue's On the advice, I was sent to the frontier for training when I was fourteen. Now I'm nineteen and I haven't come back yet.
This person must be arranged, because he is the brother-in-law, and the other brother-in-law, Pei Xuanji, is already very good without Yang Ming's arrangement.
Seeing that there was one less spot, Wei Jin hurriedly stood up, but was still a step late and was overtaken by Pei Yun.
Pei Yun's son Pei Shuang, Li Jiancheng's uncle.
Next, there was Gao Xi's eldest son and grandson, Gao Zhan, who was the one who made trouble when Yang Ming participated in the spring outing for the first time. He was later frightened by Yang Ming.
Dugu Lingyun, the son of General Dugu Kai of Youtun Guard.
Xue Shixiong's eldest son, Xue Wanshu, and Li An's second son, Li Xiaogong.
Wei Jin couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said: "Everyone, please give me a chance to speak."
Gao Xi smiled and said: "Wei Gong is impatient. You might as well listen to what he has to say."
Wei Jin looked embarrassed and said: "In the past, I often offended King Qin. No, it was the prince. You are so tolerant. All the children of our Wei family are talented people. Among them, there must be one whom the prince likes. I am willing to work hard for the prince. Please do it. Your Highness, can you favor us Dongjuan?"
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Some of the people present today have conflicts in private, but today they are all gathered under the big tree Yang Ming.
Why? Because Yang Ming can bring them benefits.
At the same time, they can also bring many benefits to Yang Ming, and everyone gets what they need in exchange.
To be honest, Yang Ming really doesn't like dealing with the Wei family, but you really can't get around it. There are too many of them in the center.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "I have an old relationship with Yuancheng, but it's a pity that he died young. Did he have no son?"
When Wei Jin saw Yang Ming let go, he hurriedly said: "Yuancheng has no children, so after his death, his younger brother Kuangbo inherited the title. Yuancheng only has one daughter, named Wei Gui, who is only thirteen years old now."
Wei Yuancheng is the son of Wei Jin's third brother, Mr. Wei, and his nephews are all from Wei Xiaokuan's branch.
And Wei Gui, historically, would marry Li Zixiong's son Li Min first, and then marry Li Shimin, becoming the famous Concubine Wei.
It stands to reason that this is a second-hand person. Why would Li Shimin, who has become the emperor, still marry? Also named the head of the imperial concubine?
This is because Li Shimin also had the idea of giving up his position in Guanzhong, so from his beginning to Wu Zetian's period, a marriage group of the four major families "Li Wu, Wei Yang" was formed to break up the influence of the Guanlong Group.
It can be seen from here that Jingzhaowei is really a behemoth, and we cannot give it up even if we give up Guanzhong.
Wei Jin was worried that Yang Ming would not be chosen from their room, so he took the opportunity to say: "Uncle Kuang's eldest son, Wei Siyan, is only a candidate official in the Ministry of Personnel at the moment. Your Highness can consider it."
Don't think that if someone is a candidate, it won't work. In fact, if you can be a candidate, you have a half chance of entering the eleven temples in the three provinces.
Yang Ming frowned and said, "How old is Uncle Kuang's son?"
"Not very old, only nineteen, he is a dragon and a tiger," Wei Jin said anxiously.
Yang Ming smiled: "Seeing that Duke Wei is so anxious, let him do it."
Wei Jin was overjoyed and quickly picked up the wine bottle:
"I will punish myself with three glasses of wine for my past mistakes. I just want to clear up the past feud with His Highness."
Yang Ming also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Wei Gong's words are serious, please."
From now on, Yang Ming knew that he would wear a mask for the rest of his life until the day he died.
