Emperor Sui Yang

He was willing to cut himself to pieces, and dared to pull the emperor off his horse.

Wang Bo already knew that no matter what, he would not be able to escape being cut, so after he was taken to Daxing Hall, he pointed at Yang Guang's nose and scolded him.

Anyway, I'm doomed, can't I just try to have a good time?

Yang Guang must not be able to bear this. At that time, a guard stood up and broke Wang Bo's teeth.

Then he was dragged to Suzaku Street, where he was cut up one by one with the same knife as Meng Rang, and then put into a frying pan, his meat was shared among the common people, and his bones were burned to ashes.

The people applauded.

Winners and losers, the overall situation in the current Sui Dynasty is relatively stable, and the common people hate the emperor very little, because they hate the local officials.

This is called passing on contradictions.

Recruiting civilian husbands, local officials, recruiting soldiers, local officials, raising food and grass, or local officials, what did the emperor do?They destroyed Goguryeo.

The common people will not think that the person who harmed them is actually the emperor, because the propaganda of the Sui Dynasty has always been that the emperor loves the people like his son, and the common people really believe it.

In the current situation, if you rebel directly with the banner of killing the faint king, it will not work, because there is no faint king, you have to learn from Ning Changzhen. Lai Nuer rebelled, I'm going to clean up Lai Nuer.

In other words, after Yang Guang returned to Beijing, the Ministry of Punishment and Silitai have already started to investigate in the Shandong and Hebei areas, and have done a lot of county magistrates and assistant officials?
The sheriff can't do anything.

For example, Shi Yun came to protect his son to build a ship in Donglai County, which caused a lot of harm to the local area, but can you hold Shi Yun accountable?Leaving aside that he is Shi Xiang's younger brother, if you pursue him, you have to pursue Lai Huer.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice did not have the guts to pursue Lai Nuer.

Who to deal with depends on the person. In fact, it is to suppress public anger and find a few top packs.

Last year's taxes had all been collected, and Yang Guang also knew that Hebei and Shandong had suffered a lot, so with a swipe of a pen, he approved 600 million shi of grain to these two places, which was regarded as compensation.

There are still eleven days before Yang Ming will attend the court meeting. The affairs of the East Palace are handled in an orderly manner by the officials, so Yang Ming doesn't have to worry about it, so he has time to go out of the palace for a while.

In fact, he was tired of doing everything by himself. If he had to intervene in everything, he would be exhausted, and he couldn't manage it.

So he simply told his queen mother to temporarily live in Qin Wang's mansion so that he could go to every house and door.

Yang Xiong and Yang Lihua's side, he went the most, followed by Yang Yue's house.

"What did the imperial doctor say?" Yang Ming sat down in the study and asked with a frown.

Yang Yue sighed and said, "Whether I can get through this summer when I am in a hurry is a question of Shang Shu Zuo Cheng's position. Can Your Highness help Yang Yue fight for it?"

The seriously ill person in Yang Yue's mouth was not himself, but Shang Shu Zuo Cheng Yang Wensi, Yang Wensi was about to die.

Right now in the court, Yang Yue, Xuangan, and Yang Wensi are the top families in their family. If Yang Wensi falls like this, their family's influence in the court will definitely be affected, and Yang Yue will definitely not be reconciled.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Yang Yue has always been the county magistrate of Wannian, Shang Shu Zuo Cheng can't do it, it's not that he doesn't want him to do it, it's because he doesn't have the ability."

Shangshu Zuocheng is nominally the assistant officer of Shangshu Zuopushe, but his powers and responsibilities are: to participate in political affairs, to be in charge of discipline, to coordinate the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of War. The power is very large.

It's not that Yang Ming doesn't want to help, he can only recommend him for this position, and his father has to make the final decision.

As for his father's expedition to Goguryeo this time, many ministers took the opportunity to get closer to the emperor. In Yang Guang's mind, there were quite a few people queuing up. Yang Ming had to queue up if he wanted to recommend him.

Yang Yue didn't force it, after all he was familiar with the current situation:
"Pei Yun came to look for me, and hoped that I wouldn't hold Yu Wenhua any longer. Please hold me high. I'm a little suspicious. How could Pei Yun help Yu Wenshu with good words? Does Pei Ju know?"

Are you provoking trouble?Yang Ming said with a smile: "Your Majesty is determined. You should not stand out at this time. Pei Yun is also kind. I am afraid that you will offend His Majesty."

Yang Yue frowned and said: "Yu Wenshu must have a problem this time. With his temperament, how could he be so low-key after making such great achievements? He only praises the achievements of others, but when it comes to himself, he is too self-effacing. After Wei Xuan and Pharmacist, neither of them said anything, which made me feel even more puzzled."

Yang Ming sipped his tea slowly, and said lightly:
"I really think there is something wrong with him. We need to investigate secretly. Don't be so blatant, so that everyone in the world knows that you want to bring him down. You can't move the country. I want to kill Huaji, but I can't do it."

"Hiss~~~Hua Ji's fault, isn't it a capital crime?" Yang Yue said in a daze.

From his point of view, as long as Hua Ji is the prince of the state, as long as he is not disobedient, no amount of capital crime can be offset, not to mention that he is going to suppress the rebellion in the end.

He is not thinking about Yu Wenhua and Ji, he is thinking about himself, because they belong to the same class.

The imperial court treats their class preferentially.

Yang Ming said: "When there is chaos in the place, the first priority is to appease, and the second is to fight. Has he appeased it? Just kill people. Killing so many people is not worth his life?"

I don't think it's worth it, so I killed it too. When deserters first appeared, I was responsible for killing them. I killed thousands of them.

No, Yang Yue has reacted, is this a warning to me?

Let me just say, with the prince's caution, how could he clearly say that he wanted to kill Huaji, and he made a fuss for a long time before telling me.

Yang Yue hurriedly changed the subject: "Zhang Xutuo will enter Beijing tomorrow, and I have already told Xuangan to send someone to Chang'an Station to welcome him early. The Crown Prince will need this person in the future."

Nonsense, I still need you to say?

Yang Yue hoped that Yang Ming would take Zhang Xutuo under his command, but he didn't know that Shi Wansui had already said hello. On the first night of Zhang Xutuo's visit to Beijing, he had to live in the Menxia Provincial Hotel in the imperial city.

The annex is specially used to arrange important people to come to Beijing so that the emperor can summon them at any time.

Xuangan went to see him in such a hurry, but he kept his mouth shut, meaning that everyone knew about my purchase of fields in Shandong, but they didn't know how much I bought, so you have to tell me in a small way.

This face, Zhang Xutuo will give it both emotionally and rationally.

Yang Ming smiled and said: "Your news is not well-informed. If my guess is correct, Zhang Xutuo should have already entered the city. He is going to live in Menxia Province tonight, so he must enter Beijing early and call on two people in advance, one It's Lu Gong, and the other is Xuangan, in fact, you can let Xuangan wait at home."

"No, no, the city gate guard has someone from me. If he comes in, I will know immediately," Yang Yue said with a smile.

At this moment, the butler came in:
"There is news that Zhang Xutuo entered the city through the Chunming Gate, but he has already asked to see him outside the mansion."

Yang Yue was taken aback, what the hell, Chunming Gate is back in Wannian County, what does Yang Yue do to eat?The person who announced the news and Zhang Xutuo came forward and backward?
Faced with Yang Ming's playful smile, Yang Yue said with shame: "It's the minister who boasted, and the older he is, the less stable he is."

"You go and welcome him in, don't you have a lot of beautiful servants in your house, pick a few to serve him," Yang Ming joked.

Yang Yue laughed and turned around.

Just as Yang Ming guessed, Zhang Xutuo was going to enter the palace tonight, in case the emperor summoned him at any time, so he rushed to the post without even entering the post station, and came all day long.

It's noon now, after paying a visit to Duke Yang Xuangan of Chu, he will go to Shi Wansui's house for dinner.

This time when he went to Beijing, he only brought thirty followers, his son Zhang Yuanbei, his confidant Xiong Bao, and his beloved general Cheng Yaojin all followed.

Cheng Yaojin came here to learn more, he could go to Beijing, and he might even enter the palace. After returning, it would undoubtedly be something worth showing off.

"Humble Zhang Xutuo, I have met Yang Gong!"

As soon as Yang Yue came out, Zhang Xutuo and his subordinates half-kneeled towards Yang Yue, which was a military salute.

There is a difference between landing on one knee and landing on two knees.

In the army, it is inconvenient for the officers and soldiers to stand and report things because the commanders are all in big tents, so kneeling on one knee has become the etiquette for the lower ranks in the army when they meet their superiors.

Yang Yue hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Shandong is all up to you, go, follow me into the mansion, there is someone you can't imagine, waiting for you."

Half of the reason why Yang Ming left the palace was to meet Zhang Xutuo outside the palace. The palace was full of eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it was not convenient.

When Cheng Yaojin stood outside the door, he was already dumbfounded looking at the tall courtyard walls of Duke Chu's mansion. What he saw and heard after entering the mansion made him even more surprised from ear to ear.

"Don't look around," Zhang Yuanbei reminded in a low voice, Cheng Yaojin was shocked and looked away.

Hearing this, Yang Yue turned around and stroked his beard with a smile: "It's okay, the old man is also from the army, and he is closest to the soldiers. Here, there are not so many rules. The eyes are on people, and they are used to look at them. "

He is talking nonsense, the kind of talking nonsense when seeing people, talking nonsense when seeing ghosts, if it is replaced by other people looking at it today, he will be another kind of talking.

In the study room, Yang Ming was walking around casually, flipping through the collection of books left by Yang Su.

Because the study room was to be shaded to prevent the books from being exposed to the sun, Yang Ming was always accompanied by a maid holding a lamp.

"Stop following me, tell your butler to call Xuangan back," Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Yes."

The maid glanced at Yang Ming, then lowered her head in embarrassment, and left with small steps.

At this time, the door was just opened from the outside, and Yang Yue led four people into the study.

The leader is fierce and fierce, with a clear face, about 40 years old, and the three behind are much younger.

"But Zhang Xutuo of Qi County?" Yang Ming turned around and said with a smile.

Zhang Xutuo hurriedly looked at Yang Yue: "Dare to ask Mr. Yang, who is this nobleman?"

Yang Yue smiled and said, "This kind of demeanor is naturally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Cheng Yaojin was shocked and looked at Yang Ming in a daze.

"Prefect Zhang Xutuo of Qi County, together with generals Zhang Yuanbei, Xiong Bao, and Cheng Yaojin, pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince," the four hurriedly knelt down.

This time, it was on two knees.

Cheng Yaojin?Yang Ming was also stunned. (end of this chapter)
