Chapter 38: The Queen's Advice

In the imperial study room, Yang Guang was in a bad mood and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He never dreamed that Yang Yuanqing would resign, and the reason made him unable to refuse. This made Yang Guang feel very shameless and a little annoyed. It would be a pity if Yang Yuanqing was let go like this. Yang Yuanqing was of great use. At least in dealing with the Guanlong nobles, he was the same as himself.

At this time, Empress Xiao walked into the imperial study with a bowl of ginseng tea. At the door of the imperial study, Yan King Yang Neng hid outside the door and was worried about eavesdropping on his grandparents' conversation. He was going to find the emperor's grandmother, and he hoped that the emperor's grandmother could keep Yang Yuanqing for him.

Several eunuchs begged him to either go in or retreat, hiding at the door so sneakily, how could they explain? Yang Qing glared at the eunuchs fiercely and ignored them.

Queen Xiao and Yang Guang have been married for nearly thirty years. She knows her husband very well. Her husband's performance at this time shows his inner anxiety and hesitation. She knows how to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, it's late autumn now, and you're going to catch a cold while standing at the window."

Empress Xiao put a dress on Yang Guang, but Yang Guang didn't want to wear it. He took the dress down and placed it on the imperial bed. He sat down and sighed, "Actually, I have no idea about the Liaodong plan."

Only in front of his wife would he occasionally express his true thoughts. If Yang Yuanqing resigned and left, once the Guanlong nobles rebounded, he would lose a sharp sword to suppress the Guanlong nobles in his hand.

Empress Xiao sat beside her husband and said softly: "The emperor is worried about Yang Yuanqing's resignation!"

Yang Guang was stunned. How could the queen know? He glanced at him and saw a young man on the ground at the door. He understood in his heart that this little guy was actually going to help rescue soldiers.

Yang Guang pretended not to know, and nodded, "I don't want him to resign, but I don't want to indulge him too much, so I feel very conflicted."

Queen Xiao smiled slightly, "I think Your Majesty has not seen through some things."

"I haven't seen through anything?" Yang Guang glanced at his wife in surprise.

"I have met Yang Yuanqing's wife Pei, and I have talked a lot with her. I found that the Shandong gentry was mixed, and they prospered and lost. Pei's mother was the legitimate daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and her grandmother Cui family was the eldest daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe. Her brother was the legitimate daughter of the Lu family in Fanyang. The wife of the Pei family was born in the Boling Cui family. The famous families of Shandong gentry were married to each other and had a close relationship. Yang Yuanqing was the son-in-law of the Pei family, and he himself belonged to the Shandong gentry. From his wife's tone, I could feel that the Pei family attached great importance to Yang Yuanqing, and Your Majesty only considered what Yang Yuanqing was like. I wanted to remind Your Majesty that behind him was the interests of the entire Shandong gentry group. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple"

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, and Empress Xiao’s words awakened the dreamer. Yang Guang then suddenly realized that no wonder Pei Ju volunteered to go to the Western Turks. Pei Yun acted like this again. He suppressed Yang Yuanqing himself, which was actually suppressing the entire Shandong gentry.

Yang Guang was also an extremely smart person. As long as he figured out one thing, he could see through the causal relationships behind him. He couldn't sit still. He walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back to attack the Guanlong nobles. It was obviously not enough to rely on his own strength. He also needed to rely on other political groups. The power of the Southern Group was too weak, and the Guanlong gentry such as the Jingzhao Wei family, Du family, and the Hexi Li family, were too close to the Guanlong nobles. The only way to rely on was the Shandong gentry. He actually ignored that Yang Yuanqing was already a member of the Shandong gentry.

If Yang Yuanqing really resigns, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Shandong gentry at a critical moment, and it will be extremely unfavorable to his plan. You cannot, and you must not let him go!

At this moment, Yang Guang figured it out and made up his mind. He glanced at the shadow at the door and sighed deliberately: "But I just accommodated him like this, and I was too shameless. I decided to let him go home for three years..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Yan rushed in and knelt on the ground and begged: "Beg the emperor's grandfather to keep him, and don't let the Great Sui Dynasty lose another pillar."

Yang Guang looked back at Empress Xiao, and Empress Xiao smiled helplessly, admitting that she was invited by Yang Qing.

Yang Guang's face sank and asked Yang Qing: "You are my eldest grandson. Why don't you come to me with a dignified attitude when you have something to do, but you brought the emperor's grandmother here, and hid sneakily at the door and eavesdropped, and rushed into my imperial study without permission. Is this the demeanor of your eldest grandson?"

Yang Qing lowered her head, "The grandson knew that she was wrong!"

Yang Guang just warned him that he would not really punish him, so he spoke in a long voice: "Since you know your mistake, forget it. I will not pursue you. I will talk to you about your serious business!"

Yang Guang pondered for a while and asked again: "In your opinion, how can I use Yang Yuanqing and continue to be the censor?"

Yang Nai had an idea in his mind, and he hurriedly said, "The emperor's grandfather, the jujube from Huainan came to Huainan and was called zhi. Due to the water and soil, Yang Yuanqing was originally the commander of a town, but the emperor's grandfather used him as a civil servant. That's why he wanted to leave. His grandson also understood that the emperor's grandfather was worried that he had served in Fengzhou for too long. In fact, the emperor's grandfather could implement the rotation system of border towns. Fengzhou was converted to Daizhou in three or four years, and Daizhou was transferred to Liangzhou in three or four years. In this way, the border town would not be in trouble. I hope the emperor's grandfather would observe it. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple."

Yang Guang laughed in admiration. He is worthy of being his crown prince. He can have such a clever idea at the age of ten. It is good to rotate the border towns, but he is a child after all, and he is still not considering the problem carefully. Now considering Yang Yuanqing's affairs, it is more important to consider from the perspective of Shandong gentry.

Yang Guang nodded and smiled, "According to your opinion, should Yang Yuanqing be appointed as Bians Supervisor?"

"That's true, my grandson recommended him as the general manager of Daizhou and the Turks in the Northern Empire."

Yang Guang walked a few steps behind his back, and finally he shook his head, "If I really want to appoint him as the head coach of the border town again, I will not consider him going to Daizhou, I will make him the head manager of Youzhou."

Empress Xiao and Yang Neng retreated. Yang Guang sat alone in front of the imperial case and thought. If Yang Yuanqing was really appointed as the chief supervisor of Youzhou, he still had a lot to do. Just as his wife Empress Xiao reminded him that behind Yang Yuanqing was the Shandong gentry, then it is necessary to regard him as a representative figure of the Shandong gentry.

In terms of original intention, Yang Guang is now very willing to position Yang Yuanqing as a Shandong gentry, let him lead the Shandong gentry and Guanlong nobles to confront them, and make the Shandong gentry a pillar of his imperial power.

But in this way, he needed to attack the Yang family again, completely cutting off the possibility of Yang Yuanqing returning to the Yang family. Yang Yuanqingsheng and Yang Xuangan would inevitably surrender.

Yang Guang took a memorial from the table, which was Zheng Shanguo's impeachment of Yang Xuangan's death and failed to kill his wife. Yang Guang knew that Yang Xuangan's wife was the daughter of Zheng's family. The murder of his wife was extremely serious negligence, and he was usually dismissed from office directly.

Zheng Shanguo's memorial also admitted that Yang Xuangan did not kill his wife, but the reason for not killing his wife was that the personal maid saved the mistress, but the personal maid was cut off his arm, which was enough to show that Yang Xuangan had the idea of ​​killing his wife.

Yang Guang read the memorial twice, and at this time, the eunuch reported at the door, "Your Majesty, Shangshu Pei is here."

"Supreme him in!"

After a moment, Pei Yun hurried in. He was the Minister of Revenue and the Censor of the Ministry of Revenue. He was generally called the Minister of the Shangshu. Pei Yun stepped forward and bowed to salute, "I am looking for your Majesty!"

Yang Guang smiled apologetically and said, "Pei Aiqing has gone back to rest! I have summoned you again."

"Your Majesty is still working hard for national affairs, how dare I rest?"

Yang Guang praised his attitude and asked again: "Do Pei Aiqing know about Yang Yuanqing's resignation?"

Pei Yun did not deny it, he admitted frankly, "He came to find the minister just now and also talked about his desire to resign, but he did not agree."

"Is Pei Aiqing disagreeing or the Pei family disagreeing?" Yang Guang stared at Pei Yun.

Pei Yun carefully savored the meaning of Yang Guang's words, and he pondered for a moment: "I haven't talked about this to my family yet, but I believe that the Pei family will not agree with it, including my clan brother."

Yang Guang also sighed and said, "Actually, I don't agree. The Emperor Changsun begs me to keep Yang Yuanqing. I have repeatedly considered it and wanted to appoint him as the chief supervisor of Youzhou. I wonder what Pei Aiqing thinks?"

Pei Yun's eyes lit up. Youzhou's general manager was one level higher than Fengzhou's general manager. Moreover, Youzhou is not as far away as Fengzhou, and can control Hebei and Shandong remotely. If Yang Yuanqing was the general manager of Youzhou, not only would the Pei family benefit, but the entire Shandong gentry would benefit.

Pei Yun suddenly realized that Yang Guang was preparing to find support from the Shandong gentry, but he was very cautious and refused to express his opinion easily. He just bowed and said, "I will support all your decisions."

Yang Guang captured the bright color in Pei Yun's eyes. He knew it in his mind, so he handed Zheng Shanguo's memorial to Pei Yun and said coldly: "This is the Zheng family's impeachment of Yang Xuangan to kill his wife. I will leave this matter to your Censorate to investigate. If the situation is true, I will severely punish you and not lend it to you!"

The next morning, the fleet should have set off, but the dragon boat has not set off for a long time. A eunuch led Yang Yuanqing to hurry onto the dragon boat. Last night, Yang Yuanqing proposed to resign, but Yang Guang did not reply to him and will give him a formal reply today.

Pei Yun found him last night and told him the result that Yang Guang would be appointed as the chief supervisor of Youzhou. Pei Yun hoped that he could agree. This was a rare opportunity. This result was beyond Yang Yuanqing's expectations. He did not expect that Yang Guang would be willing to invest so much money to keep him.

But Yang Yuanqing also knew that Yang Guang's feast was not that delicious. Why didn't he be appointed as the general manager of Daizhou or Liangzhou? Although there were factors of Shandong gentry, the more important thing was that Youzhou and the Liaodong Battle were closely related. Yang Guang wanted to continue to tie him to the chariot against the Guanlong nobles through the position of Youzhou. Yang Guang's thinking did not change, but his technique was better than before.

Yang Yuanqing walked to the imperial study room, the eunuch went in to report, and came out for a moment and said, "Chief Yang, Your Majesty announces you to go in!"

Yang Yuanqing walked into the imperial study room and bowed: "My minister Yang Yuanqing met Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang's face showed a gentle smile, "Yang Aiqing, I thought about it for a long time last night. Although your filial piety is commendable, now it is the time when the court employs people. You will serve me for a few more years. When the world is pacified, I will definitely let you return to your hometown to fulfill your filial piety. Of course, I will also compensate you. I have issued an order to designate your mother as the wife of the first-rank imperial edict, and at the same time ordered the prefect of Anlu County to rebuild your mother's tomb, sacrifice for all seasons, and also grant your uncle the magistrate of Jingshan County. What do you think?"

Yang Yuanqing knelt down and thanked: "Your Majesty knows the kindness of meeting you, I am grateful to you!"

Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction, "Since that's the case, I decided to appoint you as the general manager of Youzhou and the governor of Goryeo's logistics supplies."

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty!"

At this time, Yang Guang slowly said: "Before the official appointment, you should do one thing for me."

"Please give me instructions!"

Yang Guang whispered: "Yuwen Huan was arrested by the bandits as the censor. If this matter is spread, I will be ridiculed by the people of the world. I have blocked the news and ordered Zhang Ping, the general of the Huben Lang of Li Yang, to lead 5,000 troops to suppress the bandits. But I received the news this morning that Zhang Ping was actually defeated by the bandits of Wagang and was defeated by the bandits of Wagang. You can lead 10,000 troops to Wagang again to wipe out the bandits of Wagang for me. It is not allowed to be spread about Yuwen Huan."

Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said, "I have heard of this matter. I beg Your Majesty to grant this matter full authority to me, and I promise to properly resolve the matter."

"Yes, no matter what method you use, I only need one thing. Yu Wen Yin wants to see people and corpses when he dies."
