In fact, as long as Yang Ming tells Yang Guang now that I have rested and can attend the court meeting, Yang Guang will definitely agree.
Because Yu Wenhuaji had already been knighted, his son had no reaction to this matter after he found out.
But Yang Ming doesn't plan to go for the time being, because he has too much power now and needs a cooling-off period, not to guard against others, but to prevent his father from being suspicious of him.
Because the greatest threat to the emperor is actually the prince. Don't think that the prince will not rebel. Historically, there are many princes who want to drive away their biological father so that they can ascend the throne early.
Now, except for a few people such as Yu Wenshu, Yang Ming can influence the thoughts of any central boss. The rights of the prince are getting closer and closer to the rights of the emperor, which is the most terrifying thing.
Yang Ming's unwillingness to go to court early also wanted to express one idea: I am not that passionate about power, so please rest assured.
If the prince is too incompetent, the emperor will be unhappy; if the prince is too capable, the emperor will be unhappy too.
Seven days later, people from Yushitai impeached Liang Shidu at the court meeting, saying that when the other party attacked Liaodong, he embezzled as many as seventeen boxes of seized treasures. The evidence was conclusive.
Yang Guang was angry at that time. He reprimanded Liang Bi in the court in front of hundreds of officials, and then demoted Master Liang to a gatekeeper at Anhua Gate.
Yang Ming happened to be living in Prince Qin's Mansion during this period. After hearing about this incident, he specially sent someone to call Master Liang over.
"Logically speaking, your rank is not worthy of impeachment by Yushitai. People are targeting you. Have you offended someone?" Yang Ming asked.
Master Liang was also confused, and I was also confused. I wasn't the only one who stole the loot, so why did he only hold on to me?
"Didn't I offend anyone in my humble position? Did my grandfather offend someone? He implicated me."
"You fart," Yang Ming sat down in front of the stone table in the yard and laughed angrily: "With your uncle's bad temper, how many people dare to provoke him? Besides, even if he targets Liang Bi, he will not use it to Your stepson is making a fuss, but I have seven biological sons."
Master Liang said cheerfully: "My stepfather treats me like his own son, and many of my brothers treat me like my own brother. I also have seniors at home."
He was the fifth child at home. After being adopted by Liang Bi, he had a new name called Liang Xuanmo.
The eight brothers now all have official positions and are at similar levels. One of them, Liang Jingzhen, is married to Princess Yongle, Yang Yong's daughter. Of course, he is now a commoner.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "It's not convenient for me to ask the Yushitai. You should think carefully about who you have provoked recently. Just go to the city defense with peace of mind. When the storm is over, I will make arrangements for you."
Master Liang hurriedly thanked him: "Serving the prince in a humble position is a blessing earned through several lifetimes of humble service."
Yang Ming waved his hand, and Master Liang retreated.
Li Mi, who was standing next to Yang Ming, frowned and said, "Yu Wenshu is also being cautious this time. He doesn't mind losing his status against a little-known general."
In fact, Yang Ming had already found out everything, but he was just pretending not to know in front of Master Liang.
Huang Fenglin of the East Palace was born in Yushitai, so it was easy for him to inquire about something, not to mention Pei Yun.
If he told Liang Shidu, it would be suspected of provocation, so there was no need for it, and it's not like Liang Bi couldn't find out.
Yang Ming said: "Don't spread the word. This kind of thing is not something you can afford."
"Of course I understand," Li Mi said with a very stern mouth, "This matter is related to the Duke of the country, and I am not allowed to interfere with it, but Yu Wenshu does have something in his heart."
Yang Ming brought Li Mi with him this time because he was the only one in the entire East Palace who advised him not to attend the court meeting as soon as possible. Everyone else hoped that Yang Ming would intervene in state affairs as soon as possible.
The reason why Li Mi persuaded him was not clearly stated, but he just said: There are days when dragons lurk, and there are days when tigers lie down.
This man's mind was quite extraordinary. He could see the subtle father-son relationship between Yang Ming and Yang Guang.
Historically, there is no record of Li Mi's son, but in this life, there is one. His daughter-in-law was none other than the legitimate daughter of the second son, Yang Xuanzang, and a son was also born, named Li Jia, whose name was Xu Lin.
They are completely tied to Hongnong Yang's carriage, and Yang Yue has high hopes for him.
Yang Ming asked: "Will the warrior Xun come to Beijing?"
Li Mi nodded and said: "He came back the day before yesterday and went to court this morning to express his gratitude. Your Majesty has not given him any actual duties for the time being. He is just a Marquis of Wenshui, which is about enough. As a businessman, being granted the title of Marquis is all due to the merits of his ancestors. "
Until later generations, what Wenshui County in Shanxi Province was most proud of was that it was Wu Zetian's hometown, her ancestral home.
In fact, Wu Zetian probably never lived in Wenshui County. Historically, there are two versions of Wu Zetian’s birthplace.
One is Guangyuan, Sichuan, because the warrior Yu served as the governor of Lizhou in the Tang Dynasty, and Lizhou was Guangyuan, which was the Yicheng County of Bashu.
One said it was Chang'an, which was Daxing City.
At present, it seems that Daxing is the most likely, because Yang Miaozhi's identity determines that she will not go to other places to have children.
Li Mi frowned again and said, "Warrior Xun will definitely come to see His Highness today, but I think it's best not to see him."
"Why?" Yang Ming asked.
Li Mi smiled and said: "I'm afraid that he will ask for actual duties from His Highness. He has done a great job in Shandong, and His Majesty has rewarded him, but Your Highness has not rewarded him yet."
Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh and said: "I also asked for the title of Marquis. Doesn't this count as a favor?"
Li Mi smiled and said: "Warrior Xun would not have such thoughts, but the nobleman from Guan Wang's family may not think so. He is not popular enough."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Mi: "This habit of yours is not good. Don't always speculate on the evil of people's hearts. I know you are imitating Yang Yue, but Yang Yue is not as dark as you. If you continue like this, be careful to go astray. "
Li Mi suddenly broke into a cold sweat and said quickly, "I'm just thinking nonsense."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "I don't mean to admonish you, I'm just guiding you. Remember, in Daxing Hall, only those who are upright and upright can stand firm. This old boy Yang Yue is quite shady. But his upright side is also awe-inspiring, and you still have a lot to learn."
"I have learned a lesson," Li Mi said respectfully.
At this time, Xu Jing came to report that the warrior Yu had arrived.
Yang Ming looked at Li Mi: "Come with me to see him and see if he wants an official position."
Originally, Yang Ming granted the title of Sili to the warrior Xun, but this was temporary. After the affairs in Shandong were over, the warrior Xun also resigned.
In the front hall, the warrior Yu with a dusty face saluted Yang Ming, then sat aside, waiting for Yang Ming to ask questions.
Logically speaking, he should be the one to take the initiative to report, but people don't know what the prince likes to hear, so they won't talk nonsense. Whatever the prince asks, just answer him honestly.
"I heard that you should have been here a long time ago. Why are you back now?" Yang Ming asked.
Warrior Xun hurriedly smiled and said: "I was delayed in Luoyang. Some accounts within the clan were not handled clearly, which delayed the trip."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Now that you have become a marquis, let others take care of your family's business as soon as possible. You still have to take the right path."
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I am in Luoyang just to take over the family business," the warrior Yu said with a smile: "After I return to the capital, I want to get married, and I will not care about the trivial matters within the clan."
"Is the date set?" Yang Ming smiled.
Warrior Xun nodded and said, "April 23rd is the day when I welcome my bride."
Yang Miaozhi's status is not high, because her father Yang Da is not a prince, so she is not the county head. However, Yang Xiong's four daughters were named county heads very early because Yang Xiong was too awesome during the Kaihuang period.
Yang Xiong's four daughters, Yang Shangci, Yang Jianzhen, Yang Mengcan, Yang Shijie, plus Yang Da's Yang Miaozhi, the names of the five sisters all have a strong Buddhist flavor, and each one sounds better than the other.
Yang Ming said to Li Mi: "Prepare a generous gift and send it to the Wu family when the time comes."
Li Mi smiled and nodded.
The warrior Xun quickly thanked him.
Logically speaking, the prince is Yang Miaozhi's natal family, so there is no need to prepare any gifts for you, but Yang Ming's arrangement will make the Wu family look good.
This is giving face. The ancients valued face very seriously. Otherwise, there would be no saying that you respect me a foot and I respect you a foot. This sentence means giving face to each other.
It doesn't matter if the etiquette is heavy or not, the main thing is to save face.
"How many fields did Xuangan buy in Shandong?" Yang Ming asked.
Li Mi was stunned for a moment and looked at Warrior Xun, who said calmly without changing his expression:
"I haven't calculated the specific number, but I know that there are about nine hundred people."
Nine hundred acres means ninety thousand acres of land. In the Sui Dynasty, it was a capital offense for a household to own one hundred acres, but in some places a small landowner could have so many.
Yang Ming looked at Li Mi deliberately and said with a smile, "Xuangan is still rich."
Li Mi nodded awkwardly, not daring to reply.
What could he say? Their family also does things like annexing land.
As for Warrior Xun's reply, Yang Ming was very satisfied, because the other party did not blame anyone else and answered honestly, clearly stating that it was Xuangan who did it.
If Yang Ming asked Xuangan now, Xuangan would tell the truth, but if the matter were brought to the public, no one would recognize it, and Yang Ming would also cover it up.
How to deal with Xuangan's cheap land purchase is a private matter. On the surface, Yang Ming will help Xuangan cover it up.
Next, Yang Ming asked the other party some things about Shandong, and the warrior Yun also answered honestly. From the beginning to the end, not a single word hinted to Yang Ming that he wanted a real job.
After the warrior Xun left, Yang Ming looked at Li Mi:
"Did you see that? He didn't ask me for an official position."
"I'm ashamed," Li Mi said sheepishly.
Yang Ming smiled, stood up, and said:
"Yang Yue told me more than once that Xuan Sui is a talented person in the country and should be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future. He treats you better than Xuanting. You are lucky to have such a mentor."
Li Mi said with excitement: "Li Mi will never be able to repay the kindness that Mr. Yang has given me."
Yang Ming smiled and said: "The heart is like flowers and trees, growing towards the sun. Change it in the future."
