He hadn't gone to court for more than half a year, and it was so cold that he suddenly had to get up in the middle of the night to go to court. Yang Yi was really not used to it. Qin Cao next to him pushed him several times before he opened his eyes in a daze.
When he saw the pregnant Qin Cao getting up to help him wash up, Yang Yi suddenly woke up.
"Qin'er, don't move. Lie down quickly. You are heavy. Do you need to get up yourself for such a small thing? Be obedient and lie down."
Yang Yi quickly put her back into the warm quilt and kissed her on the forehead. Qin Cao looked at him with her full eyes, full of happiness.
According to Yang's instructions, Yang Yi is not allowed to stay in Qin Cao's room anymore, because Qin Cao has been pregnant for eight or nine months and is about to give birth. Yang is afraid that he will be restless and bump into each other while sleeping. It was only because of the child in Qin Cao's belly that she gave such instructions.
From a safety perspective, it is indeed better for the couple to sleep in separate rooms at this time, but Yang Yi believes that Qin Cao needs more tender care at this time, so he often sneaks over to accompany her quietly at night and hug her to sleep;
Qin Cao couldn't help but she was so moved by the man's intention that she no longer wanted to brush him off. She lay back on the bed obediently and watched the two maids helping him wash up.
The carriage entered Xuandemen. When Taifu Yang got out of the carriage, exhaling the heat, the officials around him who were waiting for the morning court couldn't help but became silent. Although a month had passed, the last time Yang Yi walked up to the palace with his sword still left a powerful impression, and they were still surprised to see him to this day. People are uneasy.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Huang Shilang, Mr. Huang? We haven't seen you for a long time. Huang Shilang is getting more energetic. He is really getting stronger with age."
Lao Dang Yi Jian fart. After I took all the medicine, I was informed that Miss Meier had been robbed by you. I haven't settled this matter with you yet.
Of course, Huang Shilang dared to think about this. He had to put on a bright smile on his face and replied: "Taifu Yang is so polite. The old and decrepit body of Xiaguan is so old and strong. On the other hand, Taifu Yang is full of energy and has a red face. He is really enviable."
"I am an old man with ambitions for thousands of miles. In his old age, a martyr is full of ambition. Why should Huang Shilang be so humble? Oh, isn't this Zhou Shaoqing? Zhou Shaoqing is smiling all over his face, so he must be happy."
"Haha, to borrow Tai Fu Yang's auspicious words, I just got a new puppy the day before yesterday"
"What the heck! You must have been right by me. Congratulations to Zhou Shaoqing for marrying Lin'er. Congratulations. When your son is one month old, don't forget to send me a note."
"Definitely, definitely, Mr. Yang is willing to honor me. I can't ask for it more."
Under Yang Yi¡¯s warm greeting, the atmosphere outside Shenglongmen quickly became warm again, among all the officials. It's one thing to be afraid of him, but there are also many people who want to make friends with him.
Yang Yi is the center of attention wherever he goes. It was quite overwhelming until the bells and drums of the previous court sounded. When the Shenglong Gate opened, he failed to enter the side hall where the prime minister was waiting to go to court.
The main thing discussed in the meeting today is the dispatch of officials to Liaodong and the Western Regions.
The Song Dynasty conquered so much territory at once, and there was a serious shortage of officials.
Liaodong is better, and some former Liao officials can be used, but this is not possible in the Western Region. Because of different beliefs and cultures, it is not feasible to use the original officials, and they must all be sent from the DPRK;
In addition, there are frequent rebellions in the Western Region and the situation is complicated, which is very troublesome for the ministers of the DPRK and China.
Queen Mother Liu, who was behind the bead curtain, took the initiative to ask Yang Yi: "Taifu Yang, there are chaos and rebellions in the Western Regions now. What can Taifu Yang do to deal with it?"
Yang Yi held the wat tablet this time, without any of the arrogance of the past. He came out of the class respectfully and replied: "Empress Qi Bing, the Western Regions were first returned to us during the Song Dynasty, and the Tianfang Sect that the people in the Western Regions believed in was very different from the Central Plains. , some rebellions are inevitable;
The Queen Mother does not need to worry about this. The imperial court only needs to dispatch capable personnel to govern with care, patiently educate, and make the people surrender, and the rebellion will naturally disappear. "
" Yang Yi's words cannot be said to be wrong. They make sense. This is exactly what the court is doing now.
The question is, if you patiently educate people and win their hearts, will this be the result of a day or night?
Seeing that the rebellion in the Western Region is intensifying, and the fire is imminent, where can I wait for you to slowly civilize it?
Yang Yi said a lot, but it was like saying nothing.
"This has never been Mr. Yang's style. Why does it sound like the words of those veteran officials who have been around for decades?"
After hearing what he said, Queen Mother Liu thought he was still angry, and felt a little uneasy for some reason: "Mr. Yang's words are reasonable. What do you think, ministers?"
The officials all looked at each other, but no one said a word. How could they answer this?
?Zhang Dun glanced at Yang Yi indifferently, the expression on his face did not change at all, but inside he couldn't help but think of the scene when Yang Yi went to his house for a banquet when he returned to Beijing. Yang Yi had expressed to him that he did not want to be involved in military and political affairs anymore. I just want to teach the emperor well;
He wanted to teach the emperor this, which Zhang Dun could understand. It was an act of self-preservation. The emperors of the Song Dynasty had always respected their teachers. Several generations of emperors had treated their teachers extremely well. With this relationship, self-preservation was always a good idea. It's no problem.
In the past month, Yang Yi had almost no contact with the ministers of the DPRK. He took the beauty to travel, lived in the countryside, and paid no attention to the affairs of the officials sent by the imperial court;
This was the best opportunity to install party members. Yang Yi did not interfere, which made Zhang Dun's trust in him increase a bit;
Now back in the court, facing the Queen Mother Liu's inquiry, Yang Yi once again chose to avoid the important and take the easy, and did not take the opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the Western Regions. Zhang Dun was happy to see the result.
Zhang Dun's character is black and white, and he will be loyal to one person forever. Zhao Xu has shown kindness to him and entrusted him with his position as prime minister. This trust cannot be increased. Even now that Zhao Xu Yulong has passed away, Zhang Dun's love for him has never been greater. That loyalty will not diminish in the slightest;
Although Yang Yi had a close relationship with him at first, once he felt that Yang Yi posed a threat to the Zhao and Song Dynasty, he tried his best to guard against it to avoid turning into an elbow.
Although Yang Yi's performance now makes people feel reassured, it is still not enough. People can't be too idle. If they are too idle, it is easy to have other ideas. You have to find something for Yang Yi to do.
Xizhen, a member of the Ministry of Industry, quickly left the mission and said: "To inform the Queen Mother, there is a rebellion by a few thieves in the newly expanded land in the Western Regions. As Taifu Yang said, it is only necessary to send capable personnel to govern and educate, and it is not a real danger;
Nowadays, the Song Dynasty is at its peak, the world is at peace, and all nations are coming to court. More and more people and Hu merchants from various countries are pouring into the capital. The population has increased by 30% compared with the first year of Shaosheng;
The streets of the capital are already narrow. Nowadays, houses have been built on every square inch of the capital, with high pavilions and overlapping eaves. Once a fire breaks out, the whole city will be burned and the losses will be heavy.
Since the Taizu Dynasty, there have been dozens of fires in the capital. The expansion of the capital has also been discussed several times. Today, it can no longer be postponed. "
The proposal to expand Tokyo has been put forward for more than a day or two. The imperial court has demonstrated it many times and believes that expansion is imperative. It just needs to choose a suitable time.
Yang Yi originally thought that this matter had nothing to do with him and that it should be a matter of the Ministry of Industry. But who would have thought Someone immediately jumped out and asked him to take charge of the expansion.
