Chapter 76 Accident

Yang Yong naturally knew about Yuan Qing'er's dissatisfaction. After Li Gang and others went down, Yang Yong told a few little jokes casually and made Yuan Qing'er look happy again. At night, the two of them even had a desperate lingering relationship. After the joy, Yuan Qing'er suddenly lost half of his strength like a pool of soft mud, and was tired in Yang Yong's arms. The dissatisfaction during the day had already disappeared.

The next morning, when Yang Yong opened his eyes, Yuan Qing'er had already gotten up and sat not far from the edge of the bed to dress up in the mirror. The blush from last night remained on his face, and there seemed to be a layer of luster on his delicate face, shining.

After Yang Yong had a little movement, Yuan Qing'er was already alarmed, and turned her head and shouted sweetly: "Your Highness!"

Yang Yong's face sank: "Qing'er, how many times have you told you that you should call me husband, not your highness."

Yuan Qing'er bit her teeth lightly, and a hint of distress appeared on her face: "But, this is not in accordance with etiquette."

"What etiquette does husband and wife say? Usually there are so many people calling me Your Highness. I'm tired of hearing it. If you come to your home and face Qing'er, you will also talk to Your Highness one by one, then what fun will I have?"

In fact, after the two got married, Yuan Qing'er called Yang Yong both his husband and his husband. Only outsiders were there was called His Highness. However, Yang Yong left Beijing for half a year. Yuan Qing'er often had to go to the palace to accompany Dugu. After receiving a lot of influence from royal etiquette, he changed his words. Seeing that Yang Yong was serious, Yuan Qing'er had no choice but to shout: "Husband."

Long separation is better than a newlywed. Yuan Qing'er is obviously much more mature than half a year ago. Thinking of the tenderness of the person in front of him last night, and hearing such a heart-wrenching title, Yang Yong's heart suddenly felt warm and he patted the edge of the bed: "Qing'er, sit here."

The blush on Yuan Qing'er's face suddenly became even more than a few points. Seeing the eager gaze in Yang Yong's eyes, she didn't understand what Yang Yong meant. She twisted and said, "Husband, it's already dawn, it's time to get up, otherwise I won't let the servants laugh at me."

"Who servant lives impatiently and dares to laugh at the prince and princess, Qing'er, come here!"

Yang Yong's tone was tough, Yuan Qing'er shook it a little longer before getting up and moving towards the edge of the bed. However, as soon as she sat down, she felt her waist being hugged by her husband. She couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice and fell to the bed. Her eyes turned black. The person had already entered the warm quilt, and the big bed was shaken again...

The winter sun is already late, and it is noon, but the prince and the princess still show no sign of getting up. This has left several girls who have been serving the princess for half a year in a dilemma and have to guard the door.

Yang Yong stretched his waist and climbed up from the bed. He watched Yuan Qing'er lying on the bed lazily and powerlessly, his heart was filled with the heroic spirit of a man. Just now, Yuan Qing'er retreated completely, not only quelling the storm of going out for half a year, but also Yuan Qing'er nodded and responded to the matter with the two daughters of Yun Mei'er and Xing'er. In a few days, she would take the initiative to propose to the queen and take the two daughters as the crown prince Zhaoxun.

If Yang Yong took the initiative to propose to Dugu, Yang Yong would probably criticize him even if Gu Du agreed. However, Yuan Qing'er proposed that Dugu would only cherish this daughter-in-law more and the resistance to agreement would be reduced a lot.

"Well, it's better to find a gentle and gentle wife. If you find a wife who is the same as Fang Xuanling's wife, you would rather drink poison than take a concubine than your husband to take a concubine, then the emperor would have no choice but to do anything to her. Unfortunately, he doesn't know who Fang Xuanling's wife is in history, otherwise he could make a marriage for Fang Xuanling first and watch the show at that time." Yang Yong thought maliciously.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Seeing Yang Yong come out, the maid waiting outside breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly paid a visit to Yang Yong.

Yang Yong looked at the maids, and they all looked pretty. The oldest was only fourteen or five years old, and the youngest was only eleven or twelve years old. They were all people that Yang Yong didn't know. It was obviously the newly selected maid Yuan Qing'er in the past six months.

Although these girls served Yuan Qing'er for several months, this was the first time they had contacted the prince. Their nervous hands trembled lightly, and there was a hint of excitement on their faces.

Under the service of several girls, Yang Yong finished washing up, and suddenly a prank thought arose in his mind. He waved his hand and said, "You go and serve the princess to get up."

"Yes!" Several girls responded and ran to the inner room. Yuan Qing'er's screams came immediately, and then the room was in chaos, and the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground was mixed with the panic apology of several girls.

Yang Yong smiled and shook his head, walked out of the bedroom, and there were already many people waiting outside. First, Li Gang and others reported on yesterday's problems. Some officials who did not welcome the prince back to Beijing also visited again. When Yang Yong finished his work one by one, it was already dark. This was the case for the next few days. Every day, officials from the post station visited the East Palace, which made Yang Yong have no time to rest. Yang Yong simply went to court in advance, closed his eyes and accepted guests after he came back, and he got rid of the entanglement of various officials.

It was about to reach the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. This day was the last morning court in the third year of Kaihuang. After today, all departments of the court would have to seal off their leave and take a seven-day break until the fifth day of the first lunar month.

The holidays of the Great Sui officials were completely inherited from the Great Han Dynasty. In Yang Yong's previous life, he never expected that feudal officials would have so many holidays. Officials first had one day off every five days, which means bathing and resting. In addition to the five-day holiday, the Great Sui people also had many holidays, such as Tianqing, Shangyuan Festival, Tiansheng Day, Summer Solstice, Innate Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, Xiayuan Festival, Beginning of Spring, Dragon Boat Festival, First Day, Middle Lost, Middle Lost, Beginning of Autumn, Qixi Festival, Autumn Equinox, Double Ninth Festival, Beginning of Winter...

Among these festivals, the three festivals of New Year, Cold Food and Winter Solstice are the heaviest, each with seven days. The other festivals are mostly one day. There are as many as fifty-four formal holidays in a year, totaling seventy-four days, plus five-day holidays, even if some festivals are repeated with the holiday festival in the middle, the number of days off a year still reaches more than 130 days, which is more than the weekends implemented in later generations in China, and you can rest more than twenty days a year.

Of course, except for the holidays, New Year's Day, Cold Food, and Winter Solstice, all officials at the same time, most officials at all levels need to participate in some celebrations during the other festivals. In fact, there is no rest time. The important officials in the court will also participate in various activities organized by the royal family during the New Year's Day. There are more than 80 days on four festivals alone. Moreover, based on human ethics and blood ties and patriarchal concepts, there are many humane vacations in the court. For example, parents live three thousand miles away, and every three years, there are thirty days off (excluding journeys); five hundred miles away, every five years, there are fifteen days off. The son has three days off when he celebrates the crown ceremony; and the children have nine days off when he celebrates the wedding...

It has to be said that from the holidays, the officials of the Sui Dynasty and the former Han Dynasty were very happy. Because the holidays were about to take place, the work of the various yamen in the court had basically ended, and the officials did not want to discuss any political affairs today. After the emperor's personal eunuch Lu announced that he had something to report early and had nothing to do, the hall suddenly fell quietly.

Just when everyone thought there was nothing wrong today, He Tuo, a doctor of the Imperial College, stood up and said: "Report to Your Majesty, I have a memorial!"

Everyone looked at He Tuo in surprise. He didn't know what he had to do today, a mere doctor in the Imperial College. Yang Jian ignored everyone's suspicion and said directly: "Authentication!"

"Thank you Your Majesty, the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty has been hanging for a long time, and this is still a heavy position in the court. I think it would be unlucky for the new dynasty if he lets him hang over the New Year. I also ask Your Majesty to choose the virtuous and capable, and reappoint the Shang Dynasty's Right Pushe to the court."

As soon as He Tuo said, everyone suddenly realized that Zhao Ying, the presiding minister of Shangshu, offended the emperor because he violated the order and was demoted to the governor of Shanzhou by Yang Jian. A month has passed. Yang Jian had already intended to let the Minister of Personnel Yu Qingze take over, but he has not been officially appointed. Today should be the time to promote Yu Qingze to the presiding minister of Shangshu.

But everyone was secretly surprised that the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty was undoubtedly important, and the Minister of Personnel was also an important position. The Secretary of the Shang Dynasty was not auspicious for the New Year. Is it auspicious for the position of the Minister of Personnel to be suspended for the New Year? Could it be that the Emperor has determined the candidate for the Minister of Personnel to be suspended for the New Year?

In the past, Lu Kai had no dispute whether he had qualifications or merit or merit as the Minister of Shangshu, but now Lu Kai has lost the opportunity. Although the Ministry of Personnel still had a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a minister of the title, two ministers of Sixun, and one minister of the examination and merit, a minister of the five ministers of the five ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, there was not much difference between merit or merit or merit, and who should succeed him?

Sure enough, as soon as He Tuo finished speaking, Yang Jian nodded and smiled, and gave Su Wei a wink: "What He Qing said is reasonable, Su Aiqing, who do you think should take over as Shangshu Youpushe."

Su Wei certainly would not break the platform, so he quickly stood up and replied to the emperor: "Report to Your Majesty, Minister of Personnel Yu is the head of the six ministries, and he has led troops to defeat the Turkic army. It can be seen that Master Yu is a versatile talent in civil and military affairs, and he is actually the Gancheng of the country, and he should take over as Minister of the Shangshu Youpushe."

Su Wei was Na Yan, the highest chief of the ministry. Although his power was lighter than that of the Shangshu, Su Wei, in addition to Na Yan, also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Censor, the Chief Minister of Dali, and the Yin of Jingzhao. Except for the smaller position of Jingzhao Yin, all of them were the chief officials of the department, and they all served five positions. They were even less powerful than Gao Ying. As soon as Su Wei spoke, everyone knew that he must have inherited the emperor's intentions and immediately said in unison: "I will discuss it."

"Very good, Yu Qing accepted the order!"

Yu Qingze quickly got up, knelt down on the ground, and said, "I received the order."

"Yu Aiqing was outstanding in his position as the Minister of Personnel. He was diligent and made great contributions. He also knew about military affairs and was brave and good at fighting. He was a good official of the country. He was temporarily removed from the position of the Minister of Personnel and transferred to the Minister of the Shangshu Youpus. I hope he was vigilant and continued to serve the court in a new position."

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" Although he had long predicted that he would take over as the Shangshu Youpushe, the order was really come down, and it was the last day of the morning court this year, Yu Qingze was still very happy, and his face was filled with joy after getting up.

Yang Yong sat in the front seat and frowned. This was his third time to attend the morning court since he came back. The vacancies of the Minister of Personnel were about to be vacant. The officials in the court had already known that there were no less than dozens of officials who came to visit Yang Yong these days. Some officials who believed that they had the opportunity to be involved in the position of Minister of Personnel had intentionally or unintentionally received Yang Yong's support, especially the other five ministers except Lu Kai, the Ministry of Personnel were even more active.

However, Yang Yong had never heard of the transfer of Yu Qingze before the New Year, nor did he express his support for him, and the facts today are too sudden. It is impossible not to say that there was a premeditation. Yang Yong's eyes secretly swept towards his father Yang Jian. Yang Jian Gao was sitting on the dragon throne with a kind face and a gentle gaze. Yang Yong felt that his father's eyes were unfathomable. Seeing Yang Jian's gaze turned, he quickly lowered his head and avoided him.

"Report to Your Majesty, since Lord Yu has been transferred to the right of the Minister of the Shangshu, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel must not be vacant. Please ask Your Majesty to confirm the candidate of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel." After Yu Qingze thanked him, He Tuo jumped out in a hurry.

Now everyone knows that He Tuo has received the emperor's instructions, otherwise Yu Qing would not have become the Minister of Shangshu's Right Pushe so smoothly. Everyone's eyes were looking at the other five ministers of the Ministry of Personnel who had the most hope of meeting.

Yang Jian said nodded and said to Yu Qingze: "Yu Aiqing, who do you think can take over as the Minister of Personnel?"

Yu Qingze went out again and glanced at the six ministers standing not far behind him. The six of them were thumping in their hearts. Yu Qingze was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for three years and was appointed as the Minister of the Shangshu Youpushe. His words were undoubtedly the most substantial. As long as he spit out a name from his mouth, the Minister of Personnel could basically confirm it.

"When you come back to your Majesty, I think Lu Kai, the Minister of Personnel, has outstanding talent. After three years in the Ministry of Personnel, he was in no way wrong in selecting his talents and should be able to receive the position of Shangshu."

Yu Qing said a few words, but it seemed like a thunder thunder exploded in the hall, and all the officials exclaimed.

"Lu Kai, how is that possible?"

"How could it be him?"

"Strange, did I hear the wrong ears? How could Lord Yu recommend Lu Kai?"

...

The other five ministers of the Ministry of Personnel's faces were even red. They never thought that they would hear the name of a person who had been sentenced to withdraw from the competition from their ex-boys.

"I objected!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at each other and spoke out against Wang Yi, another minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Wang Yi was born in the Wang family in Taiyuan, and was different from other Shandong high-governors who had some resistance to the Guanlong court. After Zhou destroyed Qi, the Wang family in Taiyuan was one of the first Shandong high-governors to surrender to Emperor Wu of Zhou, and moved their family to Chang'an. After Zhou in the Sui Dynasty, the Wang family was timely loyal to the new dynasty. Although the Wang family's actions were not stopped by other Shandong high-governors, they received good rewards. Now there are as many as a hundred people in the Wang family who have entered the court to serve as officials, and Wang Yi is the one who is the Wang family.

"Oh, why do you object?"

"I am...I am..." Seeing the emperor asking, Wang Yi suddenly didn't know how to deal with it. Wang Yi was the third official in the Ministry of Personnel except Yu Qingze and Lu Kai. He thought that after Lu Kai was eliminated, the position of Minister of Personnel would fall on him. Unexpectedly, what Yu Qingze proposed was still Lu Kai, and he shouted out for a moment of anxiety.

Lu Kai was involved in the assassination case of the prince. Everyone subconsciously decided that Lu Kai was eliminated. After trial, Lu Kai had already been lifted out and could not use this as a reason to oppose Lu Kai. It cannot be said that he wanted to be the Minister of Personnel and opposed it, let alone Yu Qing was his direct superior. Now he has gone to the next level. If Wang Yi forcibly opposes Yu Qingze's proposal, he may be criticized by most officials.

"No matter how you are, you don't know what to say, go down!" Seeing that Wang Yi could not give a reason for opposition for a long time, Yang Jian's face suddenly showed a hint of anger and waved his hand to let Wang Yi retreat.

"Yes, I'm going to leave!" Wang Yi retreated sadly, knowing that the Minister of Personnel had no hope anymore.

"Yu Aiqing suggested that Lu Kai take over as Minister of Personnel, who else would object?" Yang Jian glanced at the ministers in the hall with a very different eyes.

Although Yu Qingze's proposal was unexpected by the ministers, after Wang Yi's affairs, all the ministers guessed that the emperor still favored Lu Kai, and did not dare to move for the moment, so they had to look at Yang Yong.

Yang Jian soon discovered this scene and his eyes fixed on Yang Yong's face: "Prince, what do you think?"

Yang Yong quickly stood up: "Report to my father, my son has been away from Beijing for half a year, and I am not familiar with the situation in the court. However, since Lu Aiqing can get Yu Qing's recommendation, it must be not bad. My son has no objection, so I ask my father to sage!"

Yang Yong thought his father would at least ask the ministers, but he didn't expect Yang Jian to take it immediately: "Well, the prince has been away from Beijing for half a year and is much more mature. I have no selfish consolation. Since that's the case, Lu Kai, the Minister of Personnel, received the order!"

"I received the order!"

"Lu Kai, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is diligent and loyal. Since he was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, he has been loyal to political affairs. Now he has been removed from his post as the Minister of Personnel and promoted to the Minister of Personnel. As for the vacant position of the Minister of Personnel, he will discuss it later!"

"I thank Your Majesty, long live! Long live! Long live!" Lu Kai's eyes were filled with tears, and he kowtowed several times before he got up. He remembered that the position of Minister of Personnel was lost and he was still hesitant in his dream.

"Congratulations to Lord Lu for his success!"

"Congratulations to Lord Lu!"

...

"Happy together, happy together."

After the court dispersed, countless officials outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony immediately surrounded Lu Kai and congratulated Lu Kai. Although Lu Kai was extremely disgusted with his colleagues who were afraid of talking to him yesterday, he had to smile on his face and accept everyone's congratulations.
