Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 94
It's actually a bit inappropriate for Yang Yin, a big girl who hasn't left the cabinet, to always go to Yang Ming's place, and it will make people gossip.

Fortunately, Yang Ming is the son of Yang Guang, and Yang Yinjiang is the granddaughter of Yang Su, and those who dare to gossip about them can be counted on the palm of one hand.

While chatting, Yang Ming learned about the whole process of Yang Su's face sage from Yang Yinjiang.

In fact, he didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly.

Shi Wansui was actually a good minister, except that he was too hard tempered and straightforward, but it was a pity that Yang Jian didn't like such a good minister.

This has nothing to do with Yang Jian's personality, but has something to do with his experience.

He usurped the throne as a powerful minister, so there were many people who disobeyed him at that time.

Not to mention far away, the eldest daughter Yang Lihua first refused to accept him.

Of course, it turned out that Yang Jian was far superior to Yuwen when he came to be emperor.

Yang Jian also knew in his heart that his position as the emperor was not so justified, so he was particularly jealous of people giving him advice, especially if someone dared to contradict him, it would make him feel that the other party did not take him seriously.

Zhao Yu is an example. The good Shangshu Youpushe was demoted to become a governor.

Su Wei also suffered from this.

At the beginning Yang Jian said to the officials: If I have made any mistakes, you should persuade them.

At that time, Su Wei was also a disciple of the provincial government, and what he did was to persuade the emperor, so he believed Yang Jian's nonsense, and he really went up to persuade him. As a result, he was dismissed from a lot of official positions.

There are many examples like this,
Yu Qingze, one of the four nobles in the early Sui Dynasty, also often contradicted Yang Jian, and was killed for treason.

Wang Yi, Duke of Ying, whose son married Yang Jian's fifth daughter, Yang Awu, failed to save his life and was ordered to die.

Gong Gongxie of Le'an County, who was still a classmate with Yang Jian, said bad things about Yang Jian in private: I am the master, and the one in the palace is also a thief.

There are countless examples like this. In Yang Ming's view, this is of course an inevitable means for Yang Jian to consolidate his imperial power. There is no right or wrong.

After all, among the Guanlong clan, many people think that if Yang Jian can be the emperor, so can I.

This is why in history, Shi Wansui was also violently killed by Yang Jian in the court, because the old Shi was too capable of contradicting Yang Jian, which is purely sloppy.

So Yang Ming felt that being able to keep Shi Wansui this time does not mean that he will be able to do so next time. If this old boy still can't change his habit, he will die sooner or later.

If you have a chance, you must persuade yourself, this master, otherwise this kind of personality can survive Yang Jian, but not Yang Guang.

Immediately after Yang Hao's wedding, Yang Jian and his wife moved to Renshou Palace to escape the summer heat.

In fact, there is no such thing as a summer escape, but the environment in Renshou Palace is relatively good, and it is comfortable to live in. After all, when Yang Su supervised Renshou Palace, 1 people died of exhaustion alone, and the degree of luxury can be imagined.

Next, Yang Hao and his wife stayed in Daxing for seven days, and they were about to leave.

Concubine Xiao cried into tears again, holding her second son in front of the carriage and refusing to let go.

Is there any mother who doesn't want her children to be happy at her knees?It's a pity that being born in the royal family, it is doomed that the mother and child get together less and leave more.

Henan Wang Yangzhao is not far away from returning to the fiefdom, that is, because Yang Ming is still young, it will not be time for him to become a feudal manor.

Yang Hao took his princess, took a carriage to Zhuque Street, and left Daxing amidst the sound of drums and gongs on both sides of the street.

For those above the county king, no matter whether they are entering Beijing or leaving Beijing, Zhuque Street will clean the street and ring gongs, which means a smooth journey.

In today's court, the crown prince Yang Yong has the final say again.

But at this time, it was time for the capital to switch defenses.

Every time the capital changes defenses, the whole city is under martial law, and all the squares are closed, and entry and exit are not allowed.

The left and right guards, the left and right military guards, and the left and right waiting guards, the military mansions of these six guards are all in the Guanzhong area. They are mainly responsible for the defense of the capital and its surrounding areas, and they change their defenses every six months.

Of course, Hou Wei who patrols the streets in the capital is not counted. These people are from the Six Guards. They are only responsible for patrolling the capital and will not change defenses. There is only one immediate boss, Hussar General Cui Hongsheng, Yang Zhao's father-in-law.

On this day, Cui Hongsheng came to the palace, instead of looking for his son-in-law Yang Zhao, he met Yang Guang directly.

Father Yang Guang rarely told Yang Ming about secret meetings with other people, but if Yang Zhao asked, he would tell.

So Yang Ming always urged Yang Zhao to inquire about the situation.

Because he had to know what happened every day, especially when Comrade Yang Guang was involved.

As we all know, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of the emperor. Historically, the end of this year is an important moment when Comrade Yang Guang was canonized as the crown prince.

Now Yang Yong has been neglected by the Second Sage due to the death of his concubine and the absence of a heir in the East Palace. Many officials in the court who were originally neutral saw that something was wrong and began to move closer to King Jin.

Just like Cui Hongsheng, although he is related to Prince Jin's mansion by marriage, but because he is in charge of the capital's Suwei and has a special position, he has always deliberately kept a distance from Yang Guang. There are some signs.

And He Ruobi, it is said that he was the last one to leave the palace on the night of Yang Wei's wedding, and even helped Yang Guang see off the guests.

Seeing off guests was done by Yang Su and Yu Wenshu in the past, and they are also known as the Jinwang Party.

After Yang Zhao came back, he relayed the news to Yang Ming.

It turned out that Cui Hongsheng came to complain.

Yang Jian and his wife are not here, the current Daxing is decided by Prince Yang Yong.

And during this change of defense, Cui Hongsheng, the Hussar General in charge of the capital's Suwei, almost got into a fight with the Left Guard General Yuan Min.

As for the reason, it has to do with the city defense layout of Daxing City.

The urban layout of Daxing City has three city gates in the east, west and south, namely Nan'anhua Gate, Mingde Gate and Qixia Gate, Dongkaiyuan Gate, Jinguang Gate and Yanping Gate, West Tonghua Gate, Chunming Gate and Yanxing Gate. Door.

Guards are set up near each city gate, with 800 guards in each guard, one general of hussars and one general of chariots.

Daxing City has eleven north-south avenues and fourteen east-west avenues. Each avenue is equipped with Wuhou Mansion, outposts, guards, and towers, plus the guards in the various lifangs. The total number of people is 5000. about.

These people were from the Six Guards, but they all belonged to Chief Cui Hongdu.

The reason for setting it up like this is naturally to divide the power. It is impossible for Yang Jian to let a certain person have absolute command of the army in the important place of the capital, at the foot of the emperor.

So Cui Hongsheng, the head of the Daxing City Armed Forces Department, actually had six generals from different military houses under his command.

On the surface, after these people switched defenses, they would naturally listen to Cui Hongsheng's orders. In fact, if something happened, Cui Hongsheng couldn't move at all.

Yang Jian's original intention was naturally to let the six prefectures contain each other, but this caused the capital's guard system to be quite chaotic.

And this time, the reason why he had a conflict with Yuan Min was because Yuan Min transferred 800 of the [-] guards at the gates of the city and deployed them around the imperial city. city ​​defense.

But in this way, the defense of Daxing Outer Guocheng was empty. If Yang Jian knew about it, Cui Hongsheng, the Hussar general, would be done. Since you can't control these guards, then find someone who can.

As for Yuan Min, he has obeyed the order of the prince, so naturally he will not have to bear the responsibility in the future.

When Cui Hongsheng came to Yang Guang, he naturally hoped that Yang Guang could help him coordinate.

Yang Guang also knew in his heart that this matter could not be coordinated, Yuan Min, a bastard, would not give him this face, maybe the crown prince just wanted to use this matter to bring down Cui Hongsheng.

But Yang Guang still fully agreed, so he asked Cui Hongsheng to wait for his news, while he went out to visit several key figures.

Yuan Min couldn't make sense, so he asked a few other people for help.

The six guards of the capital belong to six big bosses:
General Zuowei, Yuan Min.

General Youwei, Yang Xiong.

General Zuo Wuwei, Yang Zhao.

General Youwuwei, Yang Liang.

General Zuo Wuhou, Yu Wenshu.

General You Wuhou, He Ruobi.

Except for the instigator Yuan Min, the rest is easy to talk about, not to mention that there is also his own son Yang Zhao in it.

Yu Wenshu is not in the capital, and Xue Shixiong is currently in charge of Zuowuhou Mansion temporarily.

The defense of the city was transferred, and the defense of the whole Daxing became more important than the outside, which is obviously unreasonable.

Under the coordination of Yang Guang, these big bosses all agreed to help, and let the old soldiers of their respective guard houses be drawn from the various lifangs to make up for the city defense post.

In this way, it becomes a relative balance between the inside and the outside.

If Yang Jian intervenes in the future, Cui Hongsheng can at least shirk half of the responsibility, and the other half will naturally fall on Yang Yong.

Randomly adjusting the deployment of the guards is simply playing the piano indiscriminately.

Yang Guang didn't forget to add insult to injury, and after returning home, he found Cui Hongsheng and asked him to write a memorial, which was sent to Yang Jian in Renshou Palace.

This memorial is to help Cui Hongdu shirk responsibility, and the latter is naturally very happy.

As a result, Yang Jian and his wife hadn't slept in Renshou Palace for a few nights before returning to Beijing.
