Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 330 Two years and two years

Gao Jiong opposed whatever policies Yang Guang made at the beginning. Now, Gao Jiong is also lying flat. He knows that His Majesty has no tolerance for others. He has launched three drastic projects one after another. He does not pay attention to the suffering of the people and acts arbitrarily. .

He has received the grace of Dugu Jialuo in his life, from a retainer to a prime minister in charge of the world center for 20 years, his loyalty to the Sui Dynasty is unmatched by others.

Seeing Yang Guang's extravagance and construction, such a prodigal, Gao Jiong was undoubtedly very sad. Fortunately, among Yang Guang's sons, there is a sensible person.

So Gao Jiong made up his mind to assist Yang Ming to become the crown prince, hoping that the latter would be able to turn the tide and bring Sui back to the right path.

After returning home, Gao Jiong wrote a letter to Su Wei, an ordinary letter that seemed to be asking about his health and chatting about family affairs, but he knew that Su Wei could understand what he meant.

Now that Su Wei is the head of all officials, Shang Shu Zuo Pushe, Gao Jiong wants to completely pull him into King Qin's camp.

As for Yang Yue who returned home, he was anxiously thinking about how to deal with Yu Wenshu and the others.

Hongnong Yang's background is undoubtedly profound, and Yu Wenshu, Lai Hu'er, and Yu Shiji combined cannot compare with their family.

The three bastards killed his niece and granddaughter. Yang Yue, who is so toothless and must report, can't swallow this breath.

"Xuan Sui, give me an idea on how to deal with these three bastards," Yang Yue knew that he was in a rage right now, and thinking about things would inevitably be disturbed by emotions, so he asked Li Mi.

Li Mi thought for a while and said: "To tell the truth, although I have only been a Qianniu by Your Majesty's side for one year, I think His Majesty does have intentions against the Yang family."

"You don't need to say this, I already knew that my brother was forced to death by him," Yang Yue gritted his teeth.

Li Mi continued: "It's normal for the old and the new to change. Duke Chu and Duke Gao have too much prestige. Your Majesty is not at ease with them. However, Duke Gao was lucky enough to save himself because he didn't have a huge family behind him." Support, but Chu Gong is different, Hongnong Yang, the head of the clan, His Majesty will not be at ease."

Yang Yue sneered and said: "There are still three catties of nails in the broken boat. Although my brother is dead, my family still has me and Xuangan, and Yang Wensi standing in front. He wants to cut down our big tree. That’s right, that’s my family’s ancestor too, he wants to touch us? Humph.”

"Now that the crown prince has passed away and the two kings are vying for the throne, the subordinates think that the King of Qin has already gained the upper hand," Li Mi said, "The queen also supports the King of Qin. With everything in place, I don't know when this east wind will blow."

Yang Yue nodded: "Idiots also know how to choose between King Qin and King Qi. Your Majesty didn't make a crown prince because of some infamy, so you have to rely on Yang Hao to block him. When Yang Hao is useless, you will be the King of Qin." What is worth worrying about is that with the ambition of our Majesty, I am afraid that it will take many years for Yang Hao to take the blame."

"I understand Zhongshu's meaning. You don't want to wait, but hope to get rid of the scourge of King Qi as soon as possible?" Li Mi asked.

Yang Yue said: "Your boy has always hidden schemes. My mind is very confused now. You can help me out."

"I have a strategy, which is to be careful when using it," Li Mi said.

Yang Yue said, "Say it."

"King Qi committed adultery with his sister-in-law. This is something everyone knows. This person has a very bad reputation. If the same scandal happens again, do you think everyone will believe it?" Li Mi said.

Yang Yuedao: "You mean to create something out of nothing, to frame it?"

"That's right. Due to the situation, the King of Qi has already colluded with the Crown Princess. If we make a fuss about the two of them, although the risk is great, the rewards are also considerable," Li Mi said: "The Crown Princess needs Yang Yang now. Wu, she will definitely maintain a close relationship with her, and she is a widow, if it is rumored that the two of them have a peace, do you think there are more believers or more unbelievers?"

Yang Yue said with a smile: "It has to be Xuan Sui, I knew you would not let me down, so I will leave this matter to you, no matter who the staff and staff are under my account, they are all at your disposal, remember, We must use absolutely reliable people, and we must do everything without leaking, and we will spread this word from Luoyang first."

Li Mi nodded: "Don't worry, Zhongshu, my subordinates will definitely take care of it."

The matter of the North-South Canal was finally brought up at the court meeting at the Qianyuan Palace in Luoyang, and the opponents were all gone.

First build Luoyang, and then dig the Guangtong Canal. Except for Guanzhong, the strength of the people in the north has reached its limit.

Almost everyone except the Qi royal party opposed it.

During the construction of the Guangtong Canal, there were civil disturbances in Henan. Although the suppression was rapid and no public opinion was formed, all the ministers present knew it clearly.

Now that the two major projects are completed, no matter how extravagant and wasteful the tour in Jiangdu is, it can be regarded as passing through after all. It is time for the people to recuperate, so why are there still projects?

Su Wei took the lead in opposing, and formed a one-sided suppressive situation against the Qiwang Party.

In a situation like this, Yang Hao's role was infinitely magnified, because the ministers dared to scold Yu Wenshu, but they did not dare to scold him.

"Whatever you do, it's difficult for you to eat one bite at a time, and I haven't seen any of you can't eat enough." Yang Hao stood in the hall and said:
"If this north-south canal is built, we will connect the north and the south during the Sui Dynasty, and the south and north will be a smooth road. Short-term labor pains will also be unavoidable. If you keep talking about how difficult the people's livelihood is, then you will spend some money?"

Yang Hao rolled up his sleeves and said, "When paying money, one is poorer than the other, and you have to go to the street to beg for food. I see that you didn't blink when you bought a house in Luoyang? How difficult is the people's livelihood, so you have to come up with an idea." , how can people's livelihood not be difficult?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Liang Bi, the hard-bodied servant of the Ministry of Punishment, couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up and said:

"Guangtong Canal, 200 miles from east to west, recruited [-] million civilians, tens of thousands of dead, and countless injured, so that in Yuzhou area, after hearing the name of King Qi, children dare not cry at night, King Qin just finished his westward expedition, The grain depot in Yuzhou is empty, King Qi taught me how much money can make up for this shortfall, even though my Liang Bi family property is small, I am willing to take the lead in donating."

Yang Hao was furious in an instant: "Well, Liang Bi, how dare you insult me? During my rule of Luoyang, the people loved him, how dare you frame me? Destroy the reputation of the king."

"Father," Yang Wei turned to Yang Guang and said, "Liang Bi's slander on his son and minister is really a crime, please punish the father."

Liang Pi also went all out, knelt down and said: "I am willing to accept the crime, but I will never agree with the matter of the canal."

Yang Guang said indifferently: "Aiqing got up, the major issues discussed today will inevitably lead to disputes, but you are not allowed to frame the King of Qi again. I appreciate your hard work and achievements, and you will be fined for three years to meet the needs of the canal. This is not an example."

The emperor's attitude was already obvious, and Su Wei and the others also knew that this matter might be the same as last time, and no matter how hard they tried to persuade them, they couldn't persuade them.

So he said: "I suggest to postpone it for one year, and use King Qin as the supervisor of the canal."

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

More than 30 people stood up one after another to support Solvay.

Yang Guang knew that the second child was unpopular, and he couldn't stand it all because of the second child, so he could only express his attitude helplessly:

"The King of Qin has things to do for the King of Qin. The canal is just a project, so it's not worth asking the King of Qin."

Yang Gongren stood up and said: "The Minister recommended Yu Wenkai, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, as the supervisor of the construction of the canal, and Yang Yue was the deputy supervisor of the internal history. The two of them cooperated in Guangtong Canal, so the project can be guaranteed to be safe."

Everyone can now see that the emperor has made up his mind, so he began to settle for the next best thing, and he could not abuse the power of the people like he did in the early stage of building Guangtong Canal.

When Yu Wenshu saw this, he couldn't help but lament in his heart. He had lost the hearts of the people so far, Yang Hao really sucked. Whenever Yang Ming gave him a good look, he would not turn to Yang Hao. Xian.

The voice of opposition was too loud, as overbearing as Yang Guang, and it was inconvenient to compete with the officials, so he said slowly:
"The king of Qin proposed to exempt slaves and maidservants from granting land in the trilogy that year will continue to be implemented in Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and other places. The chief supervisor, Yan Bi, the prime minister of the palace, is the deputy supervisor, and the construction will start in the spring of the next year, so there must be no mistakes."

Two years later and two years later, when Luoyang was built, Henan had already implemented this strategy. Seeing that the two-year period was approaching, the emperor refilled your cup again.

This made those aristocratic families very dissatisfied. If you keep working, will you continue after four years?
Yes, Yang Guang intends to continue until you get used to it, and then it will become a permanent policy.

Two years and two years, it's just a cover, Yang Guang is afraid that it will be canceled directly, and you can't accept it.

Just like if your monthly salary is directly reduced from 100 to [-], you will definitely not accept it, but if you reduce it step by step from [-] to [-], you will slowly accept it.

Now, many opposing voices began to waver,

First of all, some people think that as long as the supervisor is not Yang Hao, everything is easy to say. After all, Yang Hao is too capable of harming the people. When you harm the people, you also directly touch the interests of the aristocratic family. After all, the people are the foundation, and the money of the aristocratic family is taken from the people. , It’s not that there is a mint, you can cast it yourself.

As for Dianzhong Cheng Yanbi, his hometown is in Heyin County (Mengjin County, Henan Province), so he can't harm the people in his hometown anymore, right?Unless their family has no ancestral graves.

The food security is also sufficient. Although it is not a small loss for them to exempt the servants from the trilogy from granting land, it is better than the emperor directly asking you for money.

Everything seemed to be settled like this. As the year approached, Yang Guang planned to spend a good year in Luoyang before returning to the capital.

But this year, Yang Yue won't make it easy for him.

Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the biggest scandal of the royal family first spread among the people of Luoyang.

More than 100 people responsible for spreading the rumors have been privately executed by Li Mi.

That's why Yang Yue assured Li Mi to do this matter. This kid is young, thoughtful, ruthless and ruthless.
