Fenghou

Chapter 1553
In the end, the paper could not contain the fire, and the story of Yang Wenyuan's nonsense in the restaurant quickly spread in Guozixue, and then spread to the officialdom through the eunuch's children of Guozixue, and it became a very simple saying, "Chen and Yang, Share the world', this is a paraphrase of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's saying that 'the king and the horse share the world'.

The official circles of all dynasties are the most sensitive and interested in this kind of matter. For many days, all the officials in the capital have been discussing this matter in secret.

But the instigator of this matter, Yang Wenyuan himself knew nothing about it.

This morning, Yang Zaixing arrived in the capital with [-] soldiers. He asked the soldiers to wait outside the city first, while he went to face the saint.

Chen Qing met Yang Zaixing in the Imperial Study Room. Chen Qing asked Yang Zaixing to sit down with a smile, and asked with concern: "How is your health in winter?"

Yang Zaixing, like Chen Qing, had several arrow wounds on his body, and it was difficult to endure in winter. In fact, many generals, including Liu Ziyu, were injured by arrows. Due to limited conditions, they were not treated properly, leaving hidden dangers. I don't feel it when I am strong, but after middle age, hidden dangers will emerge.

Yang Zaixing nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I do this every winter, and I'm slowly getting used to it!"

"It's the same for me. I was shot in the thigh by an arrow in Linyou County. It happened to be winter. I stayed in the shack for a month, and finally healed from the arrow wound. I thought it was all right. I didn't expect that now Every winter is tough, but now I have found a way to make the winter much more comfortable."

Yang Zaixing said with a smile, "Can Your Majesty share a good strategy?"

Chen Qing chuckled, "Actually, it's very simple, just take a hot spring. There is a hot spring in my palace, and once every two days, basically the arrow wound will be gone."

"So that's the case, I can give it a try."

Chen Qing nodded, "There are many hot springs on Lishan Mountain. I will give you a hot spring manor later, so you can recuperate well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chen Qing changed the topic, and said again: "I saw Liu Qiong's latest military report yesterday, and I was very moved!"

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what is the situation in the Western Regions?"

"The Western Regions are still facing each other. Liu Qiong's army has retreated to Anxi, about two hundred miles away from the border, and the other side is also two hundred miles away from the border, hoarding a hundred thousand troops."

"How does His Majesty plan to deal with Xiliao?"

"Wait and see first. The political situation I mentioned has changed because I have received information that Yelu Dashi is critically ill. Once Yelu Dashi dies and the new emperor of Xiliao ascends the throne, once the new emperor of Xiliao chooses to go west, then the two sides can negotiate peace. If Emperor Liao Xin continues to choose to go east, then the battle will not stop."

Chen Qing handed Liu Qiong's report to Yang Zaixing, and said: "The report also mentioned that your son Yang Wenyi, who fought bravely and took the lead, has been promoted to the commander of the upper army. Talent! The future is limitless."

"Yes! He is Weichen's favorite son, and I am proud of him."

"Family education is very important. If the family education is good, the son will be promising, and he will be able to honor the ancestors and bless the descendants. But if the family education is not good, the son will be arrogant and rebellious, which will harm the parents and bring disaster to the descendants."

Yang Zaixing thought he was referring to Yang Wenyi, so he nodded, "Your Majesty is right, I feel so deeply!"

Chen Qing smiled and said again: "This time I transferred you back because Zhang Shun is about to serve as the comfort envoy of the Liangzhe Road. The seven ministers have become six ministers, and we need to add another minister. I consider that the ministers are all As a civil servant, you are not very good at military affairs and lack practical experience, so I consider you to be the Privy Envoy and the Seventh Prime Minister in the Zhizheng Hall."

Yang Zaixing was stunned for a moment. It turned out that he was asked to return to Beijing to be the Prime Minister. He was not mentally prepared at all. Chen Qing said again: "By the way, come back to take care of your health. You are over 40. Go out to fight and let the children do it." !"

Yang Zaixing also realized that the Son of Heaven had already decided that he had no choice. Of course, it would be good to be a prime minister. Entering the decision-making circle of the Great Yong Empire was also what Yang Zaixing dreamed of.

He hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I obey the order!"

Chen Qing nodded, "It's no problem for Datong to let Gao Ding take over!"

"I have no objection, Gao Dutong is fully qualified!"

"Okay! I see. Aiqing will go home and rest for two days, and there will be an appointment later."

"Wei Chen retire!"

Yang Zaixing retreated slowly, Chen Qing sighed slightly, this was considered the best solution.

Of course, Chen Qing would not punish Yang Zaixing. Chen Qing didn't believe that Yang Zaixing would be self-reliant, but his son was ignorant and talked nonsense, which had too much influence.

Then let Yang Zaixing come back to be the Prime Minister, which can not only eliminate the criticism from outside, but also protect Yang Zaixing. At the same time, it is also a complete career for Yang Zaixing. Unless Yang Zaixing is really ambitious and unwilling to give up military power, that is another matter.

Yang Zaixing went to the Ministry of War first, but his [-] soldiers were still outside the city. He had to obtain a pass from the Ministry of War before his soldiers could enter the city.

There is a difference between the Ministry of War and the Privy Council. First of all, the Ministry of War is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, while the Privy Council is directly managed by the emperor and is the institution where the emperor controls military power.

Secondly, the specific powers are also different. The Ministry of War is responsible for the pre- and post-event of the army, such as army recruitment and arrangements for soldiers after they retire, as well as pensions for those who died in battle. In addition, the Ministry of War is also responsible for martial arts and military academies.

In the era of King Yong, the military department was called the military department, and it was responsible for managing and training the militia groups in various places. Now the militia groups and state soldiers in various places are still under the management of the military department, with more than [-] people.

They are mainly responsible for local security, combating banditry, and guarding city gates, but they are not checkpoints, they cannot check ordinary people and businessmen, they can only target specific targets, such as a group of young men entering the city. If you are interrogated, it is best to let the buddy live outside the city, and you only bring two or three people into the city, so you will not be interrogated. If there are really many people who need to enter the city, you must first go to the county government to obtain a certificate.

Another thing is that Yang Zaixing's several hundred personal soldiers entered the capital. According to the regulations, he can only bring [-] personal soldiers into the city at most. Special circumstances require the approval of the Ministry of War and a pass.

The official who received Yang Zaixing was Duan Qingming, who was a doctor in the Ministry of War. He used to be a judge in the army, and Yang Zaixing knew him.

Yang Zaixing was sitting at the side drinking tea, and there happened to be a document transferred from the Privy Council by his side, on which the chief official's signature was the Privy Councilor. Yang Zaixing was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Duan, what is the Privy Councilor's job?"

Duan Qingming smiled and said: "The Privy Minister is the Privy Minister and the Privy Minister in the past. Now there are two Privy Ministers. One is Zhe Shilang, which is Zhe Yanzhi. He was the Privy Minister before, and the other is Liu. The servant is Liu Zan, and the two of them are in charge of the affairs of the Privy Council."

"Where's the Privy Envoy?"

"The privy envoy is now vacant."

Yang Zaixing waved his hand, "I'm not asking who will be the privy envoy, I'm asking about the authority of the privy envoy."

"Reporting to the general, the privy envoy is the highest official of the Privy Council, but it doesn't care about the affairs of its department, just like the six ministers and the royal doctor, it has a high status but no real power, but the privy envoy should be the prime minister, and his authority is in the The House of Internal Affairs is not in the Privy Council, the General should be able to understand that it is impossible to be the prime minister and manage the Privy Council at the same time."

It was only then that Yang Zaixing realized that the privy envoy had no real power, but only had a title, but it would be nice to be a prime minister.

At this time, Duan Qingming handed the pass to Yang Zaixing, and asked with a smile: "Has the general been in the capital for a long time this time?"

"This time is quite long, why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, if it takes a long time, it's better to take good care of the child!"

Yang Zaixing was startled, "What do you mean by that?"

"It doesn't mean anything, I still have something to do!"

Someone just came looking for Duan Qingming, so Duan Qingming hurried there.

Yang Zaixing was full of doubts. When His Majesty received him just now, he also mentioned the issue of children's education. At that time, he thought it was Yang Wenyi, so he didn't take it seriously.

Now he suddenly realized that the emperor must have something to say when he talked about children's education.

Yang Zaixing felt a little panicked, and hurried back to the mansion after leaving the imperial city.
