Piaotian Literature Chapter 10: Good at saving the holy will

Today is July 15th, the traditional Ullamban Festival, and the court will be closed for one day today. Holy Temple.com

After Yu Shiji condolences Yang Su, he did not return to the house to rest, but went directly to the palace. He believed that it was necessary for the emperor to know about some of the things that happened in front of Yang's house today.

Yu Shiji was once a famous calligrapher and writer in the Chen Dynasty. His literary talent and calligraphy were deeply appreciated by Yang Guang, who also loved literature and calligraphy, which made his career smooth sailing and reached the high position of Minister of the Inner History.

But he eventually became the leader of the seven nobles in the cabinet. Although he did not say it clearly, he was actually the seven prime ministers of the Sui Dynasty. He used his position as the Minister of the Neishishi and served as the prime minister and used his secrets to do so. He did not rely on calligraphy and literature, but on his other skills to figure out the saint's intentions. His ability to figure out the saint's intentions can be said that no one in the ritual can match his civil and military officials, and he almost followed Yang Su of the past.

As an emperor, many things cannot be said, and the ministers cannot know what they think in their hearts. However, the emperor also hopes that someone can guess what he wants to do and do something that he cannot speak for him.

This is true for emperors of all dynasties. The capable ministers who are good at guessing the will of saints emerge in endlessly. Those who have reached the peak include Xiao He, Yang Su, Wei Zheng, Li Linfu and others.

Yu Shiji is undoubtedly the top master in this way. He knew that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was deeply disgusted with the current official selection system, so he dared to accept heavy bribes, use his power to sell official promotions, and suppress dissidents. He knew that as long as he was willing to break the shackles of the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system, he would be able to gain the will of the saint. As for small matters such as selling official revenge, the saint would not take it seriously. If the water was clear, there would be no fish. If the official was too clean, it would make the saint feel that he had no handle to catch, but he would not dare to use him. This was a clever move from Xiao He to invade the land of the people and destroy his reputation when he was like a withdrawal. He had to leave a little handle for the superiors in doing things.

The second thing that Yu Shiji could understand Yang Guang's thoughts was the Yang family. During Yang Su's serious illness, Yang Guang sent eunuchs to visit him every few days. This was not about Yang Su's condition, but about knowing when he would die. Even the conferment of Yang Su as Duke of Chu was a curse after Yang Guang heard the sorcerer's words. The Sui Dynasty had a disaster of division, and the land of division was in Chu, so the conferment of Yang Su as Duke of Chu was to pass on the disaster of division to Yang Su.

Yu Shiji could see his taboo to the Yang family from Yang Guanghou's death and living people. He decided to go to the Yang family for the second time to celebrate the filial piety, as if he was respectful to the Yang family. In fact, he was ready to take action against the Yang family to cater to the holy wishes.

The internal struggle between the Yang family and Yang Yuanqing, as well as the prince and Princess Leping, both went to support Yang Yuanqing, and he believed that the emperor would be very interested in this matter.

Yu Shiji's carriage quickly drove into Duanmen, which was the main gate of the palace, equivalent to the Zhuque Gate in Chang'an. There were various imperial offices of the court on both sides of the central axis of the Duanmen.

Duanmen continued to walk inward and the palace city was the palace city. Yu Shiji's carriage stopped in front of Yingtian Gate of the palace city, waiting for the emperor to summon him into the city. (《》.com)

The gate of the palace city is called Yingtian Gate. The main hall of the meeting is located in the palace city. Qianyuan Hall is the first hall of the palace city and also the place for morning court every day. Yang Guang’s daily office is in the side hall of Xuanzheng Hall, located in the northwest corner of Qianyuan Hall. It is a group of buildings covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. It is very close to the Neishi Province and Menxia Province. Yang Guang can summon the Neishi History to draft the imperial edict at any time.

More than two years after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he has gradually stabilized his throne. It is time for him to greatly reform various systems. Yang Guang has already arranged all plans. First, he will go out to visit Jiangnan, show the majesty of the Great Sui Emperor to the south of the Yangtze River, and unite the hearts of the people in Jiangnan. This is also the first time that the Great Sui Emperor visited Jiangnan, which is of great significance to the people in the south.

The Tongji Canal was excavated last year and the Hang Ditch was dredged. You can take a boat from Luoyang to Jiangdu. Half a year ago, Yang Guang ordered Yu Juluo, the Minister of Works, to build tens of thousands of large ships. At this time, the large ship had been manufactured and the interior decoration was coming to an end. He soon set off for Jiangnan and began his first patrol after ascending the throne.

Today is the Ullamban Festival. Yang Guang had just returned from the Fahua Temple by the Luo River and Water. He had already rested for a while. He was studying his upcoming trip to Jiangnan in front of the map. He had been in Jiangdu for ten years and was full of feelings for Jiangnan. This time he went on a tour, he felt like returning home in glory, which made him feel full of expectations.

While he was thinking, an eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Mr. Yu is here, waiting to be summoned."

Yang Guang knew that Yu Shiji must have something to do when he was looking for him at this time, and he was also trying to ask Yu Shiji to write a letter to Jiangnan to report to the elders of the southern states.

"Announce him to meet him!"

"Your Majesty has an order to meet Yu Shiji, the Minister of the Xuanmen,!"

"Your Majesty has an order to meet Yu Shiji, the Minister of the Xuanmen,!"

The guards shouted loudly. After a moment, the eunuch hurried in with Yu Shiji. Yu Shiji walked into the imperial study room and bowed, "I am the gentle minister Yu Shiji, please see Your Majesty!"

"Yu Aiqing is exempt from gifts!"

Today, Yang Guang attended the Fahua Temple Water and Land Dharma Assembly. He was in good spirits and smiled and said, "I just thought about finding my dear, so I came here. It's a coincidence!"

When Yu Shiji heard that Yang Guang was looking for him, he did not talk about his affairs and bowed and said, "Please give me instructions!"

"That's right. I have decided to go on a tour of Jiangnan soon. I need to write a letter to the south to the south. My dear friend has been in the south for a long time and should know the opinions of the south. I will write this letter to the south by my dear friend!"

Yu Shiji's heart was thunderous. The emperor was going to go out for a tour of Jiangnan. Although the ship was building by the Yellow River, everyone thought that the southern tour would be next year. Unexpectedly, the emperor would go to a tour of the south soon. This was a major secret. The latest chapter of the Holy Church.com

He did not dare to show his excitement of knowing the secret, and immediately bowed and said, "I obey the order, I wonder when your Majesty will need it?"

"No hurry, just write it in three days."

At this time, Yang Guang glanced at Yu Shiji's waist. A top-quality jade pendant was hung on the leather belt around Yu Shiji's waist. He knew it was of great value at first glance. He suddenly remembered a rumor in the world and asked with a smile: "Yu Aiqing, I heard that your brother's family is poor and there are many rumors in the market that you have rich and forget your brother's righteousness and refuse to help. Why is this?"

Yu Shiji's brother Yu Shinan is also a master of calligraphy in the world. The two brothers are extremely friendly and have a great reputation. They are called "Eryu" in Jiangnan, and are as famous as the two Lu of the Western Jin Dynasty.

However, Yu Shinan was a noble man and was unwilling to bow down to the rules of the officialdom. So far, he had only a small official with a secretary. He had a low salary and a poor family. He was very different from his brother Yu Shiji and his family were of great power and wealth. Yu Shiji never helped his brothers, but the two had a very friendly relationship. Yu Shiji was ridiculed as a "fake" by the world, and even Yang Guang heard about it.

Yu Shiji bowed and replied, "The love between me and my brothers lies in love, not money. Besides, my wealth today is all given by the emperor. With Shinan's talent, it is easy for him to do it, and he does not want to do it. Even if the world ridicules, how can I give the gift from the emperor to others at will, even brothers cannot."

Yu Shiji's answer was deeply in line with Yang Guang's heart. He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's right that brothers' love lies in love, not in money, but in my fault."

After pausing, he asked again: "Yu Aiqing, do you want to see me? Is there anything wrong?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I went to the second sacrifice to Yang Situ today and found something interesting. I feel it is necessary to tell Your Majesty."

When Yu Shiji mentioned Yang Su, the smile on Yang Guang's face disappeared. He said lightly: "What do you think?"

Yu Shiji told Yang Guang one by one what he saw and heard in the spirit shed today. Yang Guang was stunned. Has Yang Yuanqing returned to Beijing? Why didn't he know?

Yu Shiji observed his expression and from Yang Guang's expression, he knew that Yang Yuanqing had entered the capital without authorization. In order to be summoned, Yu Shiji sighed and said, "Although Yuanqing is young, he is also a border minister with heavy troops. You should not enter the capital at will, and you must let the emperor know. I feel it is necessary to warn him and let him understand that he is shouldering a heavy responsibility."

Yu Shiji was very thoughtful. He told Yang Yuanqing to go to Beijing without authorization in front of Yang Guang, but it was not aimed at Yang Yuanqing. His sword was aimed at the crown prince Yang Zhao. He was telling Yang Guang that Yang Yuanqing had a close relationship with Yang Zhao, and Yang Yuanqing went to Beijing secretly. What secrets would be hidden here? He outlined the story and let Yang Guang associate it himself.

This is also Yu Shiji's cleverness. He did not mention Yang Zhao at all, but pointed his sword at Yang Zhao's key points. Yang Zhao stayed in the capital and refused to return, and Yang Yuanqing did not return secretly by the order. These were originally two things, but Yu Shiji cleverly linked them together. He believed that he had already made it clear enough that the emperor should understand his meaning.

Yang Guang had no expression on his face, and he seemed not moved by Yu Shiji's words. He just smiled and said, "Yuan Qing's grandfather died of illness. He wanted to rush back to Qiqi. If he came back after approval, the spirit shed might have been demolished. This is due to filial piety. If it were me, it would be the same. I would not blame him for this matter. Yu Aiqing was too worried."

Yu Shiji was scheming and killed people invisibly, but he made a fatal mistake today. He did not really understand Yang Yuanqing's position in Yang Guang's heart. He forgot that Yang Guang once gave Yang Yuanqing the Emperor's Sword. Yang Guang would not believe that Yang Yuanqing had any intention of entering Beijing without authorization. He just went to the funeral. His reminder reminded Yang Guang that he had been very close to the King of Qi recently, which made Yang Guang feel a little unhappy with him, completely offsetting his excellent performance today.

Yang Guang's statement made Yu Shiji feel like he was hitting the sky with one punch. He couldn't help but feel a little panicked. He didn't dare to say more and hurriedly said: "It's because he is too humble. He shouldn't tell the emperor about these boring things. I'm guilty of saying anything wrong!"

"It's nothing. It's great if you can report to me in time. But you have to discuss things in the future. Don't think too much and add personal tests." Yang Guang warned him implicitly.

Yu Shiji admitted his mistakes repeatedly and sued his resignation.

When Yu Shiji walked away, Yang Guang pondered for a moment and said to the old eunuch beside him: "Go and tell Yang Yuanqing, let him see me before he goes back, and I have something to ask him."

Yu Shiji's carriage drove out of the imperial city, and the follower stepped forward and asked, "Emister, where are you going now?"

Yu Shiji originally planned to go to the Qi Palace, but the emperor's warning made him feel a little uneasy, so he ordered: "Go back to the house!"

Yu Shiji's mansion is located in Yirenfang, and is also close to Dingdingmen Street. It is a large mansion covering an area of ​​30 acres. Yu Shiji has four sons, three of whom are his biological sons, and the other is his stepson Xiahou Yan brought by his rear-wife.

Yu Shiji was not in a good mood today. For the first time, he did not understand the thoughts of the emperor. He knew that he might make the emperor unhappy. The statements related to the prince should not be easily spoken. If they were correct, there would be no benefits, but if they were wrong, there would be endless troubles. Today he was obviously wrong.

Yu Shiji sighed and walked back to the study room worriedly. At the entrance of the study room, he saw his stepson Xiahou Yan standing at the door.

Xiahou Yan was born to his second wife, Sun and his ex-husband. Yu Shiji liked Sun very much and loved the house and Wu. He also liked this stepson Xiahou Yan. Although Xiahou Yan relied on his power to act recklessly outside, Yu Shiji did not care at all. As long as there was no big trouble, he would not ask about it.

Xiahou Yan is only nineteen years old this year. He is handsome and has a beautiful appearance. He has a very good appearance, but his character is cunning and vicious. He is good at making cold arrows behind his back. Although he is a step-son, the Yu family is now his mother, Sun. Sun has quite a means to control the Yu family and obey. Xiahou Yan is favored by his mother and has a high status in the Yu family, even surpassing Yu Shiji's other three sons, causing the relationship between Yu Shiji's other three sons and their mother and son.

When Xiahou Yan saw his father coming forward, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I have something to look for my father!"

"What's up?"

Although Yu Shiji was in a bad mood, he was well-educated and would not show his face or lose his temper in front of his family. Xiahou Yan was respectful, which made his tone softer.

"Did my father be interested in Yang Yuanqing?"

Yu Shiji stopped suddenly, 'Yang Yuanqing', he was stunned for a moment and asked quickly: "Why did you mention this person?"

Xiahou Yan was about to explain, but Yu Shiji waved his hand to stop him, "Go to the room to speak!"
