Chapter Fifty-Eight: My Aunt Takes Care of You
Yang Guang followed Li Yuan to Zhengyang Palace, and saw that Yang Jian and his wife were not only sitting in the main hall of the emperor's and queen's common dormitory, but the crown prince Yang Yong stood in front of Yang Jian. What surprised Yang Guang the most was that www.biquge.info eldest grandson was also present.
The strange way is that on the first day of being ordered to come to his house to teach, the eldest grandson Sheng made an appointment, and it turned out that he was summoned into the palace by his father.
Yang Guang saw that there were three courtiers present in Zhengyang Palace, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: according to his thoughts, the father and the queen mother would not embarrass him too much in front of his subordinates.
"The minister Li Yuan was ordered by the saint to take Yang Guang, the king of Jin, into the palace to see him." Li Yuan meticulously bowed forward and replied.
"Shude can step down." Yang Jian turned his head and glanced at the queen who was sitting side by side with him, and commanded Li Yuan in a calm tone, and then said coldly to Yang Guang who was standing behind him, "Ah Zong, kneel beside the pillar of the hall, and I'll talk about your business later." ”
Although Yang Guang is young, his self-esteem is no worse than others, hearing that his father did not ask for a reason, he directly ordered himself to kneel down in front of several courtiers, he couldn't help but blush, opened his mouth, and wanted to defend himself, but as soon as his eyes met Yang Jian's gaze towards him, he was excited by his father's majestic and cold gaze, and he didn't dare to say anything, he honestly walked to the side of the palace pillar, and knelt down with his clothes.
"This year's drought in Guanzhong, the rice in Beijing is expensive, and there is a profiteer who hoards grain and is reluctant to sell, driving up the price of rice, according to Fang Cai Dugu, the price of rice in the east and west of Chang'an yesterday has been as high as 1,500 yuan of rice." Before Yang Guang arrived, in the palace, Yang Jian seemed to be meeting with the two prime ministers on government affairs, speaking of this, Yang Jian's eyes deliberately swept over Yang Guang, paused slightly, and then said, "Early this morning, I will have to report that my second son, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, has also run out of grain in his house. Fearless, you are also the leader of Jing Zhaoyin, what are your plans for this? ”
Su Wei knew that today's fact was caused by the Jin King Yang Guangfu's interruption of grain and borrowing grain from the prince of the East Palace, but it was inconvenient to say it, so he stood up immediately and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister will send the cadres to the east and west cities today, and together with the city orders of the two cities, strictly supervise all the grain and rice shops, order them to open their warehouses and release grain, and supply grain and rice openly. Moreover, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is also under the management of the minister, before the minister enters the palace to face the monarch, he has ordered the Ministry of Civil Affairs to requisition grain and rice from the eastern capital to supply Chang'an, but the Sanmenxia trough road is not smooth, and the grain and rice from the eastern capital will be transported to Chang'an, and it will be half a month later at the earliest. ”
"Well, Dugu," Yang Jian was quite satisfied with Su Wei's response, and then turned to Gao Ying and said, "I mean, Shaofu's newly cast 'Kaihuang Five Plants' can be officially minted today, and it must be transported to various states, counties, counties and various pass checkpoints within three days to give demonstrations, and use new money to offset old money and stabilize prices." In addition, the government soldiers and sergeants should abolish the same surname as the main general, and the matter of mixing soldiers and civilians into a family must also be stepped up; a major war is imminent, and it is necessary not only to ensure that the combat strength is not reduced, but also to take into account the harvest in various localities, so as not to give the enemy state a chance to take advantage of it. Queen, how did I deal with this? ”
Everyone knows that this Emperor Wen of Sui Yang insists that he is the biggest wife in history, and he is also the only emperor who has lived in the same palace with the empress for a long time, except for Ming Xiaozong nearly a thousand years later. Empress Dugu Jialuo's political views and propositions influenced the direction of the entire court situation to a certain extent.
However, Dugu Hou has always been only involved in politics, not in politics, today was originally just for his son Yang Guang to squander the money and goods in the house, resulting in the lack of food in the palace, her husband summoned Yang Guang into the palace for training, coinciding with the two prime ministers entering the palace to serve politics, she made an exception to sit aside and listen.
At this time, when she heard her husband ask for her opinion on the affairs of the imperial court, Dugu Hou hurriedly excused herself and said: "The concubine is a woman, where do you dare to talk about the government?" Seeing that Di Fa is in the East Palace and has always been ordered to participate in the government, why didn't His Majesty ask him what his opinion was on this matter? ”
Although it was Yang Jian's work to make people kill Emperor Yu Wenxuan in the Northern Weekend, and to clean up the battlefield for her husband, it was Dugu Hou who presided over it. From instructing Yang Guang to take Yang Lihua to live with him in the Jin Palace, to sending his nephew Li Yuan to lead a thousand Niu soldiers into the Jin Palace, strengthening the protection of Yang Lihua, and also cutting off Yang Lihua's contact with the old ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, all of which were personally handled by Duguhou. She knew that Yang Guang and Yang Lihua had a deep friendship between sisters and brothers, and it was inconvenient to say something to Yang Guangming, and she had secretly confessed to Li Yuan that everything that happened in the Jin Palace, she had to report it to herself immediately.
But to her surprise, early this morning, when Li Yuan hurriedly entered the palace to report to him about the food shortage in the Jin Palace, Yang Jian got up late and stayed in Zhengyang Palace and did not leave.
She couldn't figure out what kind of thoughts her husband had, so she wanted Li Yuan, who came to tell the whistleblower, to convey the message to Yang Guang and take him into the palace to face the king. In this way, didn't he tell Yang Guang unmistakably, that is, Li Yuan leaked the news of the food interruption in his mansion? Dugu Hou is full of hope that Yang Guang can help herself in persuading Yang Lihua to remarry Li Yuan, if because of this incident, Yang Guang has a dislike for Li Yuan in his heart, won't his previous measures be wasted?
Out of her desire to protect the whistleblower Li Yuan, Dugu Hou lost no time in deliberately directing Yang Jian's attention to the crown prince Yang Yong. At the moment, only Yang Yong can exonerate Li Yuan. As long as Yang Yongken admitted in front of Yang Jian that it was his own negligence that he delayed the payment of the grain and rice needed by the 100 Qianniu soldiers led by Li Yuan, then not only would Yang Guang avoid being severely punished by Yang Jian for squandering money and goods wantonly, and then he would not be angry at Li Yuan's whistleblowing, but he would also be able to solve the crisis of food shortage in the Jin Palace, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Qi Father, Ah Zong's Mansion interrupted the grain, but it was due to the temporary negligence of the sons and daughters, and they did not order someone to pay the eldest sister's attendants and Qianniu soldiers to the Jin Palace's mansion in time to supply the grain and rice, and the responsibility for this matter is on the sons and ministers, and Ah Zong has nothing to do." Yang Yong really understood his mother's intentions, and took all the responsibility on himself as soon as he opened his mouth.
Yang Jian glanced at the three courtiers sitting in the hall, corrected the eldest son in an accentuated tone, and said, "Seeing the land, can you clearly hear what I just asked?" At this moment, I am discussing the affairs of the court with the two ministers, so why do you rush to take responsibility for Ah Zong so anxiously? ”
The situation has developed to this point, and Queen Dugu can't help but speak: "The emperor is wrong." The concubine heard that the shortage of grain and rice in the Ah Zong Mansion was more than 100 hundred, and yesterday the prince only took 50 hu to lend to his brother, that is, even the grain and rice reserves in the East Palace were not sufficient, is it not in line with the rice policy that His Majesty and the two servants discussed just now? ”
She opened her mouth to point out that the emperor's rebuke of the crown prince was wrong, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
