Life Winner Training Guide

The reason is that Yang Jian's move is indeed very clever. No matter how smart and powerful a person is, it is always difficult to perform in an environment full of resistance and malice towards him.

He is not the only one who encounters this situation. The eldest prince is the same. The eldest prince is interning in the Ministry of War. Although Yao Guangqing is not as obvious as Fan Gang, can he sincerely help the eldest prince win people's hearts in his own territory? Therefore, among the four departments under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, Yao Guangqing generously allocated the driving department to the eldest prince for training, and also said that the matters under the jurisdiction of this department are not too urgent, even if mistakes are made, they can be corrected, and the eldest prince can actually operate.

The driving department is responsible for the procession, ceremonial guards, post stations, stables and other matters. There are not many important things, but there are many tedious things. Except for the three official ranches of Huangguo, the opportunity is of little value. However, the driving department of this official ranch is only one of the managers and has no real power. The real ranch manager is the special commissioner appointed by the emperor.

You Hongyin called his grandfather an old fox because of this matter. He did things without leaking any holes and left no room for criticism. This was much smarter than Fan Gang's blatant embarrassment. Others might even praise him for being fair. You know, although the driving department has little power, it is also one of the twenty-four departments. The prince originally only had the right to observe and had no actual power, but Yao Guangqing stuffed it into the eldest prince to practice, which was not really a great effort for the training of the royal children.

Another very smart thing Yao Guangqing did was to have a sparse relationship with his grandson, but in fact they knew each other well and had a tacit understanding.

And this time, since Concubine Zhuang asked him to go see his "sick" grandfather, he naturally just had a talk. After all, they are natural allies.

The Yao Mansion is not big, because the population of the Yao Mansion is not large.

Apart from Yao Guangqing, the Minister of War, the Yao family only has one legitimate daughter who married into the palace and one legitimate son who worked as an editor in the Hanlin Academy. The rest of the concubines have already married, and there is only one illegitimate son, who is currently leading his wife to work as a prefect in another place. Yao Guangqing had no wife, but not many concubines. After the legitimate son Yao Zhenyun married a wife and concubines, he only gave birth to one grandchild, who is now the apple of Yao Guangqing's eye. He has never studied well at the age of ten and plays all day long.

In general, Concubine Zhuang's mother's family really relies on her father to support it, and the foundation is not strong. You Hongyin has observed that most of the high-ranking court officials have very weak family backgrounds, and there is no situation where two high-ranking officials are born from the same surname.

Yang Jian's measures in this regard are quite in place. Although the aristocratic families have long withdrawn from the stage of power, the emperors of all dynasties are still afraid of their power and prevent the aristocratic families from reviving in various ways.

Of course, without talking about family tree or history, although the gentry no longer has the concept of aristocratic family, the entire class still exists. It is still easier for "scholarly families" to excel in the imperial examinations and enter the officialdom. It is still the place where the literary style of Jiangnan flourishes that produces more talents. Even if there is no suspicion of partisanship among fellow townsmen, everyone knows each other tacitly.

Except for Yao Guangqing, who was lying in bed to recuperate, You Hongyin was welcomed into the house by the whole Yao Mansion with trepidation and ecstasy. It has been almost three years since he last came here. It is not popular for the prince to visit his maternal family during the New Year and other festivals.

After exchanging pleasantries with his grandmother for a while, he went directly to visit his grandfather Yao Guangqing.

Yao Guangqing was indeed a little uncomfortable. After all, he was almost fifty years old and could call himself an old man. But this situation was not serious.

"Is my grandfather better?" You Hongyin asked.

Yao Guangqing motioned for the others to leave so that he could have a good talk with the Second Prince: "Your Highness, I feel guilty for bothering you to come here in person."

"My mother is very worried in the palace, and I should share her worries." You Hongyin said.

"Your Highness was hesitant to speak just now, but do you have something to ask?"

"Is there anything special happening at home recently?" You Hongyin asked tentatively: "My mother has been restless in recent days, but it is not a matter of the harem, so I guess that something may have happened in my grandfather's family. If there is anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate."

Yao Guangqing sighed and said: "I never thought that your mother also knew about this."

Chapter 133 The Great Mountains and Rivers (IX)

In recent years, smart people have gradually seen something about the situation in the palace. Except for the most powerful queen who has no children, the four concubines all have children, and the concubines Lipin, Huipin, Anpin, etc. also have their own children. However, as of now, the ones who are capable of competing for the throne are still the sons of the four concubines. First, they are old enough. The eldest prince is already 25 years old and has married and taken concubines. Recently, there has been some movement in the backyard, and the first grandchild may be born.

And what Yao Guangqing said has nothing to do with the Yao family, but with Concubine Shu.

To put it bluntly, sympathy for one's own kind.

Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang have similar backgrounds, but her father Fang Yingshun is not a minister, but a fourth-rank commander of the Beijing Guard Command, but her uncle is Fang Yingcong, the Minister of Rites.

It is very rare that a family has both civil and military officials, and the civil official is also the Minister of Rites. Even though the Ministry of Rites is not as closely involved in court affairs as the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue among the six ministries, it still manages national school affairs, imperial examinations, and exchanges with vassal states and foreign countries. Just the responsibility of the imperial examination can show how wide the connections of the officials of the Ministry of Rites are.

Fang Yingcong still had two months left to complete his twelfth year as Minister of Rites.

It was reported that he had close contacts with several Jinshi from the previous department, accepted bribes, and even treated him as a teacher and student. However, these Jinshi had actually begun to serve in the court, so Fang Yingcong was suspected of forming a party with these people.

"His Majesty ordered a secret and thorough investigation, but several bachelors in the cabinet have already revealed that Fang Yingcong cannot continue to serve as an official. For the sake of Concubine Shu, there is no more serious punishment. In recent years, Your Majesty has become more and more suspicious. "I am worried that one day, I will also suspect that I will implicate the empress and His Highness," Yao Guangqing said.

Only then did You Hongyin understand why his grandfather, who had always been energetic and energetic at work, suddenly fell ill for several days. It turned out that he could see the personality of Yang Jian, the emperor, and understood that the biggest boss above his head could not see Fang Yingcong's talent. Officials with high reputations have always been powerful, and things harm others.

Fang Yingcong was a second-rank official and one of the six ministers. He had a younger brother who was very powerful in the Imperial Guards that defended Kyoto. He also had a niece who was in the harem and gave birth to the emperor's third prince, and the third prince Yang Yizheng was quite famous. , just joined the household department last month and received a lot of praise. Fang Yingcong presided over three imperial examinations, and his old friends gradually entered the officialdom and gained power.

The emperor could not sit still.

And Yao Guangqing has been in the position of Minister for more than 20 years. Almost all the selection and selection of low-level generals have gone through his hands. He is also familiar with and have friendship with most of the generals. One of his two sons has been qualified in the Hanlin Academy. Although he is an official Not big, but quite famous in the literary world , a magistrate outside, with good political performance. Logically speaking, he might be promoted in a few years, and his legitimate daughter entered the palace and gave birth to a prince. Although the prince was not usually prominent, Yao Guangqing understood that he My grandson is not a simple person.

It seems that everything about Zhuangzhuang is similar to Fang Yingcong.

So he was worried and took a few days off to recuperate at home.

After hearing this, You Hongyin was a little bit dumbfounded, and understood that his mother was definitely not worried about her mother's clan, but for other reasons. The women in the harem didn't care about the previous dynasty. Even if they did, they couldn't think of this. Concubine Zhuang would only clap her hands and cheer, without a strong rival.

However, You Hongyin didn't know what to say. He just asked: "Grandpa, do you want to take a step forward and take another step forward?"

Yao Guangqing didn't speak, but the mustache he wore moved.

You Hongyin smiled slightly and said: "Due to the prime minister system in the previous dynasty, the factional strife among officials was serious. The left and right prime ministers had too much power and suppressed the imperial power. In the end, it led to chaos in the world and the people were in dire straits. Therefore, our dynasty abolished the prime minister system and abandoned Zhongshu Sheng. , but established a six-ministry cabinet system, with the Yushitai as a complete supervisory system, and the review agency of Dali Temple as a third-party supplement."

Yao Guangqing said: "It seems that although His Highness has not taken any action in the Criminal Department, he has not been idle in the past two years."

"Although the rank of Six Ministers is already a rank that many officials desire, my grandfather still thought of being able to enter the cabinet." You Hongyin said.

Yao Guangqing shook his head: "Those who are not members of the Hanlin Academy are not allowed to join the cabinet. The old minister was promoted from the sixth rank chief to the minister. He has been serving in the six ministries and has never entered the Hanlin Academy, so it is useless to think about it. He is not qualified to join the cabinet."

You Hongyin said: "That's not certain." He didn't say it too clearly, and there was no need to say it too clearly.

After thinking about it for a while, Yao Guangqing said: "Your Highness' concern for the common people is admired by the old ministers, but it has been said in ancient times that filial piety comes first, so Your Highness should focus more on Your Majesty."

"The way of Yao and Shun is only filial piety. I understand the truth here. However, foolish filial piety is not advisable, and survival must not be forgotten. In desperation, thinking about the way to survive is an act of helplessness." You Hongyin said: "Your Majesty has been doing this in recent years. My grandfather must be the clearest about the changes. It’s not that Gu wants to disobey his father’s will, but he just doesn’t want his father to make mistakes and become a sinner for all eternity.”

"So, what does His Highness mean?" Yao Guangqing asked. ◢思◢Rabbit◢网◢Documents◢Share◢with◢online◢read◢read◢

"In the cabinet, although Master Tian is the chief and assistant, the most respected person is Mr. Wei Qian and Wei Fuyuan." You Hongyin said.

"Huh? Your Highness wants to meet and communicate with Mr. Fu Yuan?" Yao Guangqing didn't understand the meaning.

"Of course not. I have a special status and I am not allowed to be close to the courtiers. I just want my grandfather and Mr. Fu Yuan to meet each other occasionally and tell him a word."

"What words?"

"Shen Xiuguang is dead." You Hongyin said.

Yao Guangqing didn't know why, because the name was very unfamiliar.

Yao Guangqing is unfamiliar, but Wei Qian is definitely not unfamiliar.

Shen Xiuguang is the last leader of the fireworks.

Wei Qian was once Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple. When Yingzong, Yang Yizhan's grandfather, was still in power, he was the number one scholar in the 33rd year of Emperor Zhaowen of Yingzong. He first entered the Imperial Academy for three years, and then was promoted to Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Before Yingzong's death, Wei Qian had already been promoted to Minister of Household Affairs. This process took him twelve years. Only three years after Yang Jian succeeded to the throne, Wei Qian was already promoted to the cabinet.

Wei Qian was Yang Jian's former teacher, and he was the most popular teacher among the teachers recruited by Yingzong. Apart from his age, he had nothing incompatible with a cabinet minister, and because of his outstanding literary talent and extraordinary shrewdness, he was promoted very quickly even though he was promoted very quickly. Kuai, but his prestige is among the best in the cabinet, and his words are very weighty.

Speaking of Shen Xiuguang, the final collection of the fireworks was the responsibility of the Dali Temple. There must be sealed files on this matter within the Dali Temple, and with Wei Qian's personality, he must have looked through them when he was working in the Dali Temple.

He may be one of the few people who knows about it today.

You Hongyin had met Wei Qian Zhenren, but they had never talked. However, he knew that Wei Qian was not a high-ranking official in the ordinary sense. He had his own ideals and life goals for the country and the people. But he suppressed it because he was afraid of death.

Yang Jian and Wei Qian, the master and apprentice, were very familiar with each other. Yang Jian used Wei Qian boldly because he saw Wei Qian's timidity, and the reason why Wei Qian held back was that he understood that the emperor was unreasonable and had armed forces in his hands. Maybe he would kill you at home in the middle of the night if he was unhappy with you. To put it bluntly, he did not believe that the emperor would give up the Yanhuo organization in his hands. He thought that disbanding Yanhuo was just a gimmick, but that Yanhuo had already turned from light to dark.

He was not afraid of those upright means in the court, but he did not want to die for no reason in order to compete with the emperor for the right to speak.

Although Yao Guangqing did not understand the meaning of this sentence, Wei Qian would definitely understand it. When Wei Qian tentatively bites a small crack in Yang Jian's body, the others will probably lose control.

Yang Jian raised a group of tiger-like officials. They like to fight and probably don't mind dragging the emperor into the water.

For You Hongyin, it's all a mess. The more messed up it is, the easier it is to clean up.

Then, You
