The canonization of the Three Lords is over, and naturally it’s time to go to the Nine Qings of the Nine Temples.

In addition to running the government affairs of the Sui Dynasty with "Three Provinces and Nine Ministries", Yang Tong still followed the tradition since the Han and Wei dynasties and set up temples as imperial affairs agencies to specifically implement imperial edicts and decisions. At the same time, it was also a supplement to the "Three Provinces and Nine Ministries".

Including Taichang, Weiwei, Guanglu, Zongzheng, Taipu, Sinong, Dali, Honglu and Taifu nine temples. Each temple has a Qing and a Shaoqing as chief and deputy chiefs. The following are divided into Cheng, Chief Secretary and Recorder.

Waiting for official position.

The authority of the Jiuqing of the Nine Temples is not great now, but the rank is not low. They are all from the third level. Yang Tong plans to assign these marginalized 'qings' to the loyal and loyal veterans of the Sui Dynasty: First, they are old and lack energy.

, they are at the age of recuperation; second, they hope to use their rich experience to cultivate new people.

There were no eunuchs in the new Sui Dynasty, so Yang Tong received the imperial edict from his attendants and read out: "Confess Wang Wei as Taichang Qing, grant Chen Guogong, grant 10,000 acres of land, 30,000 in gold, and 50,000 in silver!"

"Thank you, humble minister!" Wang Wei was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.

Taichang is the head of the Nine Temples and is in charge of rituals such as offering sacrifices to the state, ancestral temples, court gatherings, and funerals. He serves as the chief priest and assistant to the emperor during sacrifices. He is also in charge of the emperor's dormitory, temple, garden, mausoleum, and the county where he is located. It consists of Taimiao, Taiyue, and Imperial Physician.

, Taibu Fourth Department, with a staff of 347 people.

Because Wang Wei was loyal to the Sui Dynasty, he was killed by Li Yuan who was about to revolt in history. He should be able to die now. When he was in Bingzhou, he devoured Li Yuan to death, and also gave Jinyang Palace a million stones of food and 400,000 yuan.

The generals were transported to Hengshan County intact, which cut off Li Yuan's supplies and enriched Yang Tong. During the Mayi War, he also blocked Li Yuan's northward path and prevented the Sui army from occupying the north and south. When the Battle of Bingzhou broke out, he also

He has made great achievements and it is not an exaggeration to make him a Duke.

After handing the imperial edict and official seal to Wang Wei, Yang Tong said again: "Confess Li Jing the title of Wei Wei Qing, grant him the title of Duke of Hua, and grant him 10,000 acres of land, 30,000 yuan in gold, and 50,000 yuan in silver!"

Weiwei is one of the nine temples. His mission is to be responsible for the court's guard of honor, guarding the arsenal, and also being in charge of the imperial city guard, the imperial army, and the garrison of the capital. It consists of four departments: bus, arsenal, garrison, and Jinwu. It is equivalent to the headquarters of the Beijing Military Region and public security.

Bureau.

"Thank you, humble minister!" Li Jing was extremely excited and handed over his hand to thank him. He felt that this was recognition of his Li Jing's ability, loyalty and trust, which was a supreme honor, as important as Mount Tai.

"Wang Cong was granted the title of Guangluqing, and was granted the title of Duke of Hejian County and a bachelor's degree at Tsinghua Academy. He was granted six thousand acres of land, twenty thousand dollars in money, and forty thousand silver dollars."

Guanglu is also one of the nine temples. He is in charge of the affairs of the imperial city and palaces, responsible for the royal family's diet, and oversees the four departments of Taiguan, Yaozang, Liangying, and Zhangmin. He has 106 people under his command.

Wang Cong cupped his hands and thanked him: "I thank you, Your Majesty!"

Speaking of which, Wang Cong is also a man of both civil and military talents. As a scholar, he just prevented Dou Jiande's hundreds of thousands of troops from entering the river. It is a pity that he failed in his early years and missed his golden age in vain. Now that he is old,

It's time to take a break.

Yang Tong felt sorry for such a great talent, but there was nothing he could do to change it. However, although Wang Congren was old and had a lifetime of experience, he could still use his remaining energy, because Guang Luqing was a sinecure, and he could usually go to Tsinghua Academy to cultivate talents.

"Yang Yuanhong was granted the title of Minister of Taifu Temple and Duke of Pingyuan County. He was granted 6,000 acres of land, 20,000 yuan in gold and 40,000 yuan in silver."

Taifu Temple is mainly responsible for the safekeeping and cashiering of national gold, silk and grain. It is responsible for the private use of the royal family and government handicrafts. It oversees the four departments of Zangzang, Shangfang, Dyeing and Smelting, with a staff of seventy-four.

"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Yuanhong came out to express his thanks.

Yang Yuanhong, like Wang Cong, was also a talented person in both civil and military affairs who was delayed. However, Taifu Temple was relatively busy, so Yang Tong did not arrange for him to be a bachelor of Tsinghua Academy.

"I granted Zhang Wansui the title of Imperial Servant, granted him the title of Duke of Pegasus, and granted him six thousand acres of land, twenty thousand in gold, and forty thousand in silver."

Taipu is one of the nine temples. He is in charge of the emperor's carriages and horses and the national animal husbandry. He has jurisdiction over four offices including Hualiu, Chefu, and cattle and sheep herding, with a staff of 148 people. In fact, the minister of Taipu Temple has always been Zhang Wansui.

As Zhang Wansui is still young, his real value is to raise war horses for the Sui army. If he is allowed to come to Yecheng to manage the mess of royal carriages and horses, it will be a waste of natural resources, so he has always been a remote leader, with Shaoqing acting as his deputy.

All chores will remain the same in the future.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Yang Tong continued to read: "Gao Junya was granted the title of Grand Secretary of Agriculture, and was granted the title of Loufan County Duke. He was granted six thousand acres of land, twenty thousand in gold, and forty thousand in silver."

"I thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Junya handed over his hand to express his gratitude.

Sinong Temple is responsible for the affairs of the national warehouse, forest garden, market and fuel charcoal supply. It has four departments including Taicang, Pingzhun, Shanglin, and Guanguan, with a staff of 82 people. Gao Junya used to be Wang Wei's partner, and now he is old.

, although he was a military commander and did not have much ability to run the army, he was loyal and meticulous. He was considered a useful person to supervise and review the major granaries of the Sui Dynasty.

"Confess Zheng Renji as Minister of Dali Temple. Grant him a thousand acres of land, two thousand in gold, and ten thousand in silver."

Dali Temple is in charge of the Xing Prison in the world, responsible for the review of official crimes and civilian death sentences, with a staff of fifty-seven.

Every year, the total number of prisons in the world must be summarized in Dali Temple, and difficult cases must be reported to Dali Temple for handling. Dali Temple also often sends personnel to local areas to handle certain important cases, and is also in charge of matters related to the revision of laws and regulations.

But its powerful function is that according to the imperial edict, it can arrest, imprison and interrogate guilty princes and ministers without going through local officials. It is equivalent to the department in later generations that frightened corrupt officials.

Zheng Renji was proficient in law and upright. He was jointly recommended by Wei Zheng and Liu Zhenghui, so he was promoted exceptionally. However, at the beginning of the year, he was still a member of Dou Jiande and had not made any achievements in the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, he was not awarded a title, but only a symbolic reward.

Got some money.

In the blink of an eye, seven of the Nine Temple Ministers have been conferred, only Zongzheng and Honglu have not been canonized.

The chief official of Zongzheng Temple is called Zongzhengsiqing or Zongzhengqing, and his adjutant is called Zongzheng Shaoqing. He is mainly in charge of matters related to the emperor's relatives, relatives and nobles, such as the clan. If a relative violates the law, this is not under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple, but is handled by Zongzheng.

This is somewhat similar to the clan mansion of the Qing Dynasty.

However, the position of Zongzheng has always been held by important members of the clan. For example, Liu Yu in the Eastern Han Dynasty once served as Zongzheng, and Yang Gongren also served as Zongzheng Shaoqing during the Emperor Wen's period.

Nowadays, there are not many members of the clan left, and more than 90% of them have been chopped off by Yu Wenhuaji. The remaining ones either died in the troubled times or lost contact, which is probably enough.

And Yang Tong only has one eldest brother who is a monk, one younger brother, one cousin, two sons and two daughters. Counting Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, and Yang Shanhui, there are less than 30 people in total. As for the relatives, they are the Li Yuan family and the Lonely family.

,The problem is that people will not listen to you. Since there are not many members of the royal family, there is no need to build Zongzhengji Temple for the time being.

Yang Tong said to the civil and military officials: "There are not many members of the royal family, so I will take care of the Zongzheng affairs myself. The functions of Honglu Temple conflict with the Ministry of Rites, so we will not do it for the time being."

"Here!"

All the civil and military officials responded with a bang. Since the development of the Jiu Temple, most of them have been destined. The three provinces and nine ministries are the focus. However, the Jiu Temple is an old institutional institution after all. Therefore, both Yang Guang and Yang Tong will be canonized the Jiu Temple first.

Come forward.

Yang Tong looked at Wei Yunqi: "Wei Qing comes forward to listen to the seal!"

"Wei Chen is here!" Wei Yunqi cupped his hands and walked out.

"Now I canonize Wei Qing as the Minister of Public Affairs, in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Commerce. I will grant it to the Duke of Lu, with a reward of 10,000 acres of land, 50,000 yuan in gold, and 100,000 yuan in silver."

Wei Yunqi has no empty posts, scattered officials, and honors. This is not because he is not qualified, but because the world has not yet been unified. If there are many knights now, then the world will not be able to do so in the future, especially for unruly generals.

In the future, if he has great achievements and Yang Tong only gives him a small official, he may be punished for making inappropriate remarks without thinking. If he is dissatisfied with the punishment, he will be easily taken advantage of by others. This will not only affect Yang Tong, the general himself, but also the court.

None of these are good things, so after many discussions between Yang Tong and many of his confidants, he decided that except for the special case of Yang Gongren, no one else would be awarded false posts, official posts, or honors. Moreover, the Sui Dynasty was the orthodoxy of the world, and there was no need to grant special titles like Li Yuan.

Consolidate power and position through sealing and attract heroes from the forest.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!" Wei Yunqi saluted and thanked him.

The Sui Dynasty's march to the Western Regions was already a matter of time, and Wei Yunqi had served as the Minister of Rites and had rich experience in foreign exchanges. Therefore, the key to promoting him to the position of Minister was to manage the Ministry of Rites well. He was the southern route to the Western Expedition.

Jun, who had great prestige in the Western Regions. With him in charge of diplomacy, the Sui Dynasty would never suffer.

"Yang Shanhui was granted the title of Shangshu Zuopushe, in charge of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Education. He was granted the title of Duke of Song Dynasty and was rewarded with 10,000 acres of land, 50,000 yuan in gold, and 100,000 yuan in silver."

In fact, aside from the royal veil, the old Yang family has many people who know the army and are good at fighting. Not to mention, Yang Gongren, Yang Shanhui, and Yang Shidao can actually fight. Yang Jian's nephew Yang Zhiji, the king of Cai, is also an outstanding person, serving as Hongnong.

When he was the prefect, he used thousands of county soldiers to keep out Yang Xuangan's army of hundreds of thousands, creating valuable opportunities for Yu Wenshu, Yang Gongren and other anti-rebellion armies. Unfortunately, he was a talented man, but he died early.

"Wei Chen accepted the order and expressed gratitude."

The name Yang Shanhui was unknown in later generations, but now he is a well-known military general in Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Qingzhou.

People often use "victorious in a hundred battles" to describe a general, saying that they fight a hundred times and win every time. But when they say this, everyone knows that this is just a flattery. Looking at ancient and modern times, there are so many famous generals at home and abroad.

Who can really achieve "victory in every battle"? Even if he really had this level of military skills, how could he have so many battles to fight?

So, has anyone in history really achieved "victory in every battle"?

The answer is: indeed there is.

There were two of them in the Sui Dynasty. One was Zhang Xutuo, who was victorious in every battle and perished when defeated.

The other one is Yang Shanhui.

Yang Shanhui first served as the county magistrate of Yi County and was famous for his honesty and integrity. If not for a sudden change in the situation, Yang Shanhui would have been like many literati, starting from a local official and slowly climbing up step by step, joining hundreds of county magistrates.

Likewise, he ended up being unknown in the long river of history. But due to the advent of troubled times, his fate changed. When Jizhou was at its most chaotic, he held the position of county magistrate and cobbled together a motley crew of villagers.

He was brave enough to defeat giant bandits such as Gao Shida and Zhang Jincheng, and each time he defeated bandits dozens of times their size with a small force. This kind of thing is what Xue Shixiong, Guo Xuan, Duan Da, etc. have countless

Even the elite generals of the imperial court couldn't do it. Even Yang Yichen asked him to teach him, so he killed Gao Shida, who had more than 200,000 soldiers. The head of another big bandit, Zhang Jincheng, was chopped off by him and given to Yang Guang.

Now that military changes are imminent, Yang Tong has found the right person by promoting him to Minister Youpu She who is also in charge of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Education.

The canonization continues:

"Confess Yang Shidao as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, grant him the title of Duke of Juguo, and reward him with 10,000 acres of land, 50,000 yuan in gold, and 100,000 yuan in silver!"

"Xuanling was granted the title of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and was granted the title of Liang Guogong, with a reward of ten thousand acres of land, fifty thousand in gold, and one hundred thousand in silver."

"Feng Jiang Xingben was granted the title of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and was awarded to Duke Qi, with a reward of 10,000 acres of land, fifty thousand in gold, and one hundred thousand in silver."

"Confess Liu Zhenghui as the Minister of the Imperial Ministry, confer punishment on the Duke of the State, reward 10,000 acres of land, 50,000 yuan in gold, and 100,000 yuan in silver."

"Confess Kong Yingda as the Chancellor of the Academic Department, grant him the title of Duke of Lu, reward him with 10,000 acres of land, 50,000 yuan in gold, and 100,000 yuan in silver."

"Pei Renji was made the Minister of Rites, appointed Duke of the State, and was rewarded with 10,000 acres of land, 50,000 in gold, and 100,000 in silver."

"Li Jing was granted the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, granted the title of Duke of Wei, and was rewarded with 10,000 acres of land, 50,000 in gold, and 100,000 in silver."

"Wei Zheng was granted the title of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and was awarded the title of Duke of Zheng. He was rewarded with 10,000 acres of land, 50,000 yuan in gold, and 100,000 yuan in silver."
