Fan Zigai came to Beijing, and Yang Ming summoned him in the East Palace, along with Xuangan and Yang Yue's uncle and nephew.
He has to let Fan Zigai know why he wants you to sit in this position and what you should do after you sit in this position.
There are some hints that are not convenient for Yang Ming to say, so Yang Yue will appear here today to help Yang Ming tell some things that are inconvenient for him to say.
"Your Majesty has made it very clear. If the tariffs are reduced again next year, the old and new accounts will be settled together. After Hua Zong (named by Fan Zi) goes down, do you know what to do?" Yang Yue carried the wine bottle and took the initiative to help the other party. Pour the wine and then pace back and forth in the hall.
Fan Zigai had worked under Yang Ming before. He was once the governor of Yuanling County, which was Huaihua City, Hunan Province, and was under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou. When Yang Ming was the general manager of Jingzhou, Fan Zigai was in office.
Fan Zigai nodded and said: "I understand, and I will do my best to put an end to smuggling."
Yang Xuangan smiled and said: "Remember, don't give face to anyone. You give them face. When something happens, no one will care about you."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu," Fan Zigai said with a smile, "I still have a sense of how important things are."
Yang Ming raised his glass to the other party and said: "Your Majesty once said: Fan Zigai is clean in his conduct, puts favor first, cares well, and is generous and generous. Don't live up to His Majesty's expectations of you."
Fan Zigai quickly drank the wine in the cup and nodded: "Prince, please rest assured. After I go to Zhangye, all goods must be fully taxed. Anyone who dares to evade, no matter who he is, will be dealt with according to the national laws."
"Also," Yang Yue reminded: "Keep an eye on the Western Region. Something is wrong with the Eastern Turks recently. They often have conflicts with the Western Turks and Tiele people. There is a fear of war. You must report to the court in time without delay."
"I understand," Fan Zigai nodded.
After chatting for a while, Yang Ming asked the other party to go to the Shangshu Province to report on his work. From the prefect of Wuwei to the general manager of Hexi, there are many procedures to go through. Among other things, you have to receive the seal. Without the help of the Shangshu Province, Can you manage those governors?
The regional manager has always been a highly respected person, but he is afraid that he will not be able to restrain the people below him.
After all, Fan Zigai's prestige was a bit low.
After they left, Yang Yue's uncle and nephew lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything because they had guessed what would happen next.
There was no way, someone in the family made a mistake, and the person who made the mistake had already ran away, so they could only wait to be reprimanded by Yang Ming.
"Liu Xuan is sixty-seven years old this year. I have to thank you. He was quite measured and didn't kill anyone," Yang Ming said in a cold tone.
Just because Liu Xuan and Li Gang wanted to drive Feng Deyi and Xuanting away, on the way home the day before yesterday, they were tricked and hit with several sticks. However, the opponent's attack was measured and no muscles or bones were injured. My whole body is also swollen and painful, and I can no longer come to the East Palace to handle government affairs.
Yang Yue sighed: "I only found out about this from Yin Jiang this morning. I guarantee that this is not Xuanting's original intention. He is one of his subordinates. I don't know the importance."
The one who beat him was Yang Xuanting's retainer. The Ministry of Punishments had already locked up everyone. Xuanting had already gone to Xiping County to take up a post. It was uncertain whether this matter had anything to do with him.
After all, according to Xuanting's character, he can do this.
"The prince Xian Ma was beaten. My face is still hurting now." Yang Ming looked at the two of them and said, "You are so courageous. Come on, come on, you two, tell me what I should do with you." ?”
Yang Xuangan said: "Cut all those beasts that beat people."
Yang Ming raised his hand and pointed at the two of them: "I'm talking about how to deal with you two."
Xuangan said blankly: "This has nothing to do with us? Your Highness Mingjian, we really don't know anything about it."
"One is my brother and the other is my father. Why is it none of your business?" Yang Ming said, "If I hadn't taken the overall situation into consideration, I would have called Xuanting back now and asked him if he has any objections to me."
Yang Yue said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, please calm down. Xuanting is completely sincere to you and is not disloyal in the slightest. What happened this time is that we failed to restrain him and the two of you were willing to be punished."
Yang Ming sighed and said: "Am I interested enough in your family? What's wrong with you? They just recommended Feng Deyi and Xuanting to serve as foreign ministers, but you plotted against them. What's wrong? You have the final say in the capital. ?”
Xuangan was also very angry. This idiot, the third child, was really unreliable. What kind of people did he raise? He dared to beat the prince Xian Ma. I had to be polite when I met Liu Xuan. You guys are better. , hit him directly with his head covered.
"Thousands of mistakes are all my fault. Xuanting is my son. He is not in the capital. I am willing to take the blame on my son's behalf," Yang Yue sighed bitterly.
Yang Ming snorted coldly: "I won't handle you, let Yang Rui handle it."
After that, Yang Ming asked someone to call his son.
When Yang Xuangan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the prince still wanted to be lenient. Letting Ying come back to deal with it must have turned a major issue into a trivial one.
"Tell him what happened. Don't meddle with it, and state it truthfully," Yang Ming said.
Then, Yang Yue honestly reported the basic situation of the entire matter to Yang Rui, and then said:
"The prince will let His Highness make the decision, and you must handle it impartially."
Yang Rui nodded, looked at his father, then lowered his head and began to think. After a while, he raised his head and said:
"Those who beat others will be put to death together, and their families will be exiled to the frontier. Xuanting will be fined one year's salary. Xiuwu County Duke will be fined three years for his lack of discipline. As for Feng Deyi, let him leave the East Palace."
Yang Yue's uncle and nephew were dumbfounded.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "It's your own idea, no one is instructing you, right?"
Yang Rui shook his head:
"No one instructs my ministers. My ministers are at Master Xue's place, studying the Laws of the Great Industry carefully, and everything is done according to the laws. The prince Xian Ma, who is the second rank, according to the law, the common people beat the officials of the fifth rank and above, and put them to death. Those who are the third rank and above, The family members were exiled, and Xuanting was the first offender. However, he held an important position. He did not know about it in advance. In addition, he was exempted according to the eight principles. , it is clearly recorded in the Law of Daye that those who form a party for personal gain will be demoted, relocated, expelled, or demoted according to the circumstances. His situation is not serious, and he should be expelled and appointed separately."
Yang Ming smiled and looked at Yang Yue's uncle and nephew: "Do you two think King Qin handled it appropriately?"
"The argument is fair, unbiased, and extremely impartial," Yang Yue nodded. He was really happy in his heart. Even though Yang Rui was dealing with them, he was very organized and upright. Isn't this the appearance of a prince?
As long as you can become a talented person, what does it matter if you kill some of my people?
Xuangan quibbled: "I will never form a clique for personal gain. The prince knows this."
Yang Yue gave him an elbow directly and said to Yang Ming: "Feng Deyi is his elder brother's retainer, and his wife is his cousin. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a member of the Duke of Chu. It's just a pity that this man is not talented enough to be the prince." It's true that Xuanting is dragging me down this time."
Yang Rui said: "Feng Deyi has indeed suffered a disaster this time. He is innocent and will still be appointed to a new position in the future."
Yang Ming looked at his son and said with a smile: "Feng Deyi always protects you. Tell me, what position should I give him?"
"My son, I don't know where I'm missing?" Yang Rui said blankly.
Xuangan hurriedly said: "De Yi was a member of the Internal History Department during the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, and now there is a shortage in the Internal History Department."
He is a very protective person. As long as he is one of his own, Xuangan will really take care of him. This is why when someone rebels, the whole family will follow him. He definitely has the temperament of a big brother who takes the lead.
Yang Rui looked at his father and said, "How about letting him go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Yang Ming smiled, stood up and left, leaving Yang Rui stunned on the spot. He looked at his grandfather in surprise and said:
"What do you mean, father? Do you agree or disagree?"
He knew nothing about Xuangan. He couldn't even guess what his daughter was thinking. How could he guess Yang Ming?
"I don't know. I'm confused too. The prince seems a little unhappy, right?"
Yang Yue shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. In my opinion, the prince intended to let Ying Hui make his own decision. The head of the East Palace still has to have his own opinion."
Yang Rui frowned and said: "Nei Shishe is a member of the sixth rank, and Feng Deyi is a member of the fifth rank. Such a demotion can be regarded as a warning. Then I can make up my mind?"
Yang Yue said excitedly: "Just make up your mind, you are His Majesty's eldest grandson, you still have the final say on this little matter."
Yang Rui is indeed the eldest grandson. He is the oldest of Yang Guang's grandsons. Originally, Yang Ming and Yang Jian were waiting for Yang Zhao to have a son in the early days before they dared to have a son. As a result, Yang Zhao divorced his wife.
It happened that Dugu Jialuo was seriously ill, and Yang Jian asked them to give birth as soon as possible to celebrate Dugu Jialuo's death, so Yang Rui became the eldest grandson.
This is the successor. Even though he is only nine years old, even at the age of five, he can decide life or death with just one word.
So Feng Deyi went to the Neishi Province, and Yang Ming had already chosen the position he left.
Wang Gui of the Wang family in Taiyuan, one of the four famous prime ministers in the early Tang Dynasty, is forty-three years old this year.
The factional dispute in the East Palace was originally caused by Yang Ming. He originally didn't want Feng Deyi to leave, but there was no way. If Xuanting's men made such a fuss, you would have to leave if you don't want to.
As for Wang Gui, he is a non-party person, and at most he has a good relationship with Jiancheng.
Historically, Wang Gui was indeed a member of the crown prince of Jiancheng, but he got involved in the Yang Wenqian incident and was exiled by Li Yuan.
And Yang Ming really wants to cultivate Yang Rui's ability to make decisions. This is his eldest son. In Yang Ming's view, inheritance by the eldest son is the most in line with the interests of the country and the safest way of succession. As long as he is not a fool, he can do anything. Good to cultivate.
As for the current Yang Rui, Yang Ming is actually very satisfied. Except for not agreeing with Yang Rui's view of love, other aspects are in line with Yang Ming's expectations.
Why do young people not know how good young women are, and mistake young girls for treasures? Young women will never be as good as young girls. If you don’t believe me, go and give it a try.
She is six years older than you, and girls mature earlier than boys. Yang Ming can almost guess that if Wei Gui becomes queen in the future, she will definitely be involved in politics.
Because Yang Rui is young, he will ask each other for advice on many things. Over time, Wei Gui will inevitably be involved in more major events.
I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.
