Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

In the past period of time, it was natural for Yang Min and other Han ministers to feel depressed.

Every day when I go to work, I am always accompanied by sergeants Habayashi. Although they are said to be personal guards, these guards have many restrictions on where they go and who they meet. It is obvious that they are monitoring, so naturally they are under surveillance. People are depressed.

But they dare not complain about this, because once things get noisy, the topic will turn into a quite sensitive area. If someone is accused of being a traitor and a noisy thief, it will really cost him his life!

Although they were very dissatisfied, everyone could only endure it individually and took pleasure in the suffering as a privilege that ordinary people could not enjoy.

If this kind of treatment called guarding but actually monitoring was tolerable, then even the matters within his authority were greatly restricted, which made Yang Min unbearable. Especially at this time of year, there are strong enemies and invaders outside, and there is drought and unintentional farming inside. However, only a few people such as King Changshan are not enough to handle such a complicated situation.

In order to monopolize power, Changshan King Gaoyan ordered that all matters entering the province should be submitted to his personal case first, and they would be reviewed to determine whether it was related to military affairs. If it was judged to be related to military affairs, the case would be dealt with, and only if it was not related to military affairs, it would be returned. The province will handle it as appropriate according to normal procedures.

But in this case, what normal process is there? Even the officials and servants of the Shangshu Province could see that Yang Min, the Shangshu Ling, had been deprived of his authority, and naturally they obeyed and disobeyed his orders to avoid being disliked by King Changshan for being too close.

As a result, it is naturally difficult for Yang Min to exercise his powers normally. The experiences of other Han ministers were similar to Yang Min's, and some were even worse. So some people simply took sick leave to rest at home, and were too lazy to sit on the bench in the imperial city's official offices.

Yang Min had been the prime minister for a long time, so of course he couldn't give up his job without knowing the general situation. Although there were very few things that needed to be handled by him, he still went to the Shangshu Province on time every day to sit in court.

Early that morning, when he came to Shangshu Province, the officials sent the matters collected by Shangshu Province this morning to King Changshan as usual, while Yang Min sat in the side hall, waiting until King Changshan had reviewed the matters and returned them. During this time, he read through it again.

Today, Changshan King's matters were handled a little slower than usual. Yang Min had to wait for more than an hour before a list of matters was sent elsewhere.

He first browsed from top to bottom and found that mainly states and counties reported on the impact of drought on people's livelihood and farming in their areas, and Changshan King had also given approval as appropriate. Although it was not exhaustive, it could be seen that it was thoughtful.

While Yang Min was reviewing it, he took up a pen and copied down the things that King Changshan did not handle thoroughly enough, and then made some additions himself. Under normal circumstances, King Changshan would also adopt Yang Min's supplements.

There may be some fundamental contradictions in their positions, but when it comes to hoping that state affairs can be handled comprehensively and perfectly, they can still agree with each other.

But just as Yang Min was completing some things, suddenly an inconspicuous but important matter came into Yang Min's eyes, that is, Heyang Xingtai Hu Luguang came to the table to plead guilty. The mountain king ordered his people to stay in Heyang.

The record of this incident is relatively simple. There is no cause and effect even for Hu Luguang's apology, and there is also no basis for King Changshan to make this judgment. Although Yang Min was ignored, he was not blocked. Naturally, he could see the whole story at a glance. It was obvious that Hu Luguang failed to attack the enemy's rear and returned to Heyang to apologize, and King Changshan directly protected him. .

Although Yang Min was a minister, he had no military knowledge. King Changshan relied on this to vacate his authority. Originally, he had no say in this matter, but seeing the covert way of handling it, and thinking about the fact that Hu Luguang was suspected of returning to the capital to secretly visit King Changshan, Yang Min immediately became alert.

After pondering for a while, he decided not to be silent anymore, and went directly to King Changshan's hall with this list of things to do.

At this time, in the Zhitang, Gao Yan was still immersed in handling the case. When he heard the official reporting that Yang Min was outside asking for a meeting, he ordered him to wait outside for a while. The wait lasted for more than an hour. During this period, people occasionally came in and out of the main hall, but Yang Min was sitting in the side compartment under the corridor and was never allowed to be seen.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Yang Min finally lost his patience and stood up. Regardless of the officials' obstruction, he walked straight into the straight hall, looked at King Changshan and said, "Excuse me, your Majesty, why is Heyang doing something?" No report? What did He Yang do in front of the stage and why did he apologize..."

Gao Yan raised his head and glanced at Yang Min, and then said: "These matters are military secrets and cannot be leaked to the public at will. Although Mr. Yang is in charge of Taiwan Province, he is not allowed to hear about it without special permission!"

After hearing the words, Yang Min was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "Of course I don't dare to eavesdrop on military aircraft, but I saw that things were not clearly recorded in the provincial affairs, and I was worried that the king might not be able to report important matters due to his busy schedule. Yu Zhizun, so I boldly went into the hall to remind you."

After Gao Yan heard this, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Yang Min and said: "How to deal with the affairs in the isolated case, I don't bother Mr. Yang to ask. Thank you for your kind reminder. If there is nothing else, Mr. Yang will do it." Please withdraw and do not hinder military operations."

"When I came here, I also had something to discuss. The former Heyang was prepared for the enemy, and a lot of military supplies were placed there. However, the transportation has been sluggish so far, so that the treasury in Jinei is empty and everything is useless. Heyang goes to Taiwan to manage the army. How the subordinates are doing is unknown, but everything is running slowly, which shows that they are not competent for their duties. In this critical moment, the incompetence of one official will affect everything. Therefore, the subordinates asked the prince consort, Cheng Gao Gong, and Zhu Huntian. He left the town of Heyang to replace the king of Xianyang."

Yang Min had been patient for a long time, but he finally broke out today. Naturally, he refused to retreat easily. He even said seriously: "Gong Cheng Gao served as King of Fufeng in Heyang for a long time. He was both commendable in the army and government. Now that he has been appointed as the envoy, he is worthy of his honor." It's just right. As for the King of Xianyang, he is indeed both wise and brave. He summoned the envoy to Jinyang to defend the Supreme Being, which is just right!"

Heyang Xingtai is not a pure military attache position, but a senior official who is also in charge of military and political affairs in Heyang. Yang Min, as the prime minister, naturally has a lot of say in whether or not to retain such a position. Even if he can't make a final decision, as long as he puts forward his opinions, the court needs to discuss them carefully and cannot ignore them.

After Gao Yan heard this, he immediately jumped up and glared at Yang Min and yelled: "Nowadays, powerful enemies have invaded and the country is in dire straits. The appointment of Fang Bo in Bian Town should be done with caution. How can we change it rashly! Yang Zunyan came to the court today to disturb me." , maybe it’s because my case is still not complicated!”

Yang Min was not intimidated by Gao Yan. After seeing this, he walked out with fists clasped, but turned around and came to the main hall of Shangshu Province. He ordered the officials here to quickly summon a group of ministers here to discuss changing the river. Balcony matters.

The officials might still blame Yang Min for trivial matters because of the power of King Changshan, but seeing that Yang Min looked so serious now and what he said was such an important matter, they all took action quickly, and of course they did not forget. In order to inform King Changshan of the matter.

Gao Yan was at the end of his journey. When he saw that Yang Min seemed to be serious about it, he felt a little unable to restrain himself. He hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to recruit Gao Zhan and several other sect kings to the Shangshu Province.

In today's Yedu, people are already panicking because of the unfavorable situation on the front line, especially because the Wei army has invaded Qinshui, and is only one step away from Shangdang. Now that the prince who stayed behind has clashed with the prime minister, naturally people are even more shocked and worried. , all the high-ranking officials and dignitaries who were qualified to discuss the matter rushed to the imperial city as soon as possible, even Zhu Hunyuan, whose illness had just improved slightly, was no exception.

After everyone gathered, Yang Mindang even brought up the topic of replacing Heyang Xingtai. The reason was naturally that Hu Luguang was not qualified for the job. After the situation, not only has the Heyang Military and Political Affairs Department not been cleared up, but the rebellion in northern Yuzhou has not yet been put down, and the grain and grass that should have been sent to Yedu have not been shipped back.

After Yang Min counted it out, important ministers including Zuopushe Cui Xian also expressed their agreement with Yang Min's suggestion. However, Zhu Hunyuan did not directly express his position because of the incident involving his brother, but his words also expressed his dissatisfaction with Hu Luguang after he took office.

As for Gao Dezheng, the right servant, he did not speak immediately, but just bowed his head and remained silent. Yang Min was not surprised by this, because Hu Luguang left Zhenheyang because of his recommendation, so it was naturally inconvenient to speak at this moment.

Since Hu Luguang had indeed failed and Jianzhou was lost, he also needed to bear certain responsibilities. Although Gao Yan deliberately concealed the matter, he could not say anything in support at the moment. The other sect kings certainly supported Gao Yan, but Gao Yan's tone was not strong enough, so their voices were naturally not loud.

As the situation turned into a stalemate, Gao Dezheng, who had been silent until now, finally said: "What the king said is indeed a prudent plan. The current war is critical, and it is indeed not appropriate to change the general at the last minute."

"Mr. Lantian, do you want to make the same mistake again and again?"

When Yang Min heard this, he immediately stared and said angrily.

Gao Dezheng is naturally not a weak person. When he heard Yang Min's question, he immediately glared and said angrily: "The rights and wrongs of the past have not been decided yet. What does it mean to make the same mistake again and again? How can I use my power to dominate others?" Public opinion! ”

"You wait for the difficult discussion, I will write a letter to the Supreme Being and then make a decision!"

Yang Min did not argue with Gao Dezheng anymore, but stared at Gao Yan and others and said in a deep voice.

"Not only Mr. Yang, but everyone here can write a letter and say something. If what I hold is inappropriate, you should be willing to accept the order!"

After Gao Yan heard this, he said in a deep voice that he was naturally not afraid of the matter being brought to Jinyang. If it was limited to the Yedu court, it was really possible for Yang Min to replace Hu Luguang, but if it was discussed in Jinyang, Then its chances of winning are getting slimmer. Jinyang veterans, the main thing is to help relatives but not help!
