On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 211 The Jiangnan Rebellion
Li Delin served as an official in the court for 14 years, and finally left Daxing lonely to take up a post in Huaizhou, and no one saw him off.

His son Li Baiyao also resigned from his official position in the East Palace and went back to his hometown in Anping County to live in seclusion to avoid disasters.

With Li Delin being demoted, the favor of the Kwantung scholars inevitably fell on Cui Che.

After all, Cui Che has the highest official position, the most noble title, and a first-class and prominent background.

Cui Che knew why Li Delin was excluded and suppressed by the courtiers.

These people, their ancestors either followed He Bayue into the customs, or assisted Yu Wentai in fighting against Gao Huan. What is your origin, Li Delin, you are neither a noble from Guan Long, nor a five surname and seven clans, and you are worthy to ride on everyone's head to be a prime minister?
Could it be that you also married a princess!

At the same time, the messenger sent by Zhao Wen has rushed to Yan Guo Mansion to inform Cui Che that Yu Wenfang and Mu Xieli have given birth to daughters one after another.

Knowing that their mother and daughter are safe, Cui Che also heaved a sigh of relief, and hastened to announce the good news to his grandmother and aunt, but he announced that Mu Xieli had twins.

Old Madam Feng and Cui Zhaorong were happy, but they couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It would be great if they were going to give birth to twin boys.

First of all, Cui Jishu's lineage is really thin.

Secondly, as an ancient person, it is inevitable that there will be patriarchal thoughts.

Yang Lihua didn't care much about this, no matter whether it was a man or a woman, she couldn't threaten her own son, and she was also happy to show the generosity of her aunt.

At the beginning, she even regarded Zhou Jingdi Yu Wenchan as her own son, defended him many times, and did not hesitate to fall out with her father.

Maybe Yang Jian and his wife just love her simplicity and innocence.

Cui Che was not in a hurry to name the two daughters. In the future, when the concubines and concubines come to Daxing, it will not be too late to think of names after seeing the daughters.

Zhao Wen and Li Qing kept Cui Che's advice in mind, and put Yu Wenfang and Mu Xieli on confinement first before setting off.

On the ninth day of May, Yang Jian felt that the soldiers had no fixed place to live, so he issued an edict that from now on, all soldiers will be subordinate to the prefectures and counties, cultivate fields, and have the same household registration and taxation management as ordinary people.

At the same time, the newly established military mansions in the east of Xiaoshan Mountain and the south of the Yellow River were abolished.

On the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, an edict was issued that those over [-] years old would be exempted from corvee service and replaced by surrogate service, that is, they would be charged in kind instead of serving.

With Li Delin's relegation, there was another major personnel change in the imperial court. Nayan Yang Su, who had only been in charge of the province for only one year, was promoted to the internal history order.

Since Yu Qing had been re-elected as General Youwuhou, one of the three provinces, the Ministry of Internal History, which is later known as the Ministry of Zhongshu, was in charge of Yang Su alone.

On the same day, a group of court officials came to congratulate Yang Su's mansion, and Cui Che was among them.

All civil and military officials in the court knew that Cui Che and Yang Su had a good relationship, but no one knew that the two had already formed a secret alliance, watched and helped each other, and agreed to assist Yang Guang to fight for the reserve position.

After all, both Cui Che and Yang Su are well-known for their popularity. Cui Che and Su Wei are also close friends, and they often have contacts with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Niu Hong.

Not to mention Yang Su, when Li Baiyao had an affair with his concubine, Yang Su was able to donate hundreds of thousands of money to fulfill their good deeds, and even recommended Li Baiyao to the imperial court as an official.

Even Cui Che is convinced by this attitude, who doesn't want to make friends with Yang Su.

Yang Jian issued two edicts in succession to appease the army and the people, thinking that the country is stable, but the ancient land in the south is undercurrents and turbulent.

I don't know when it started, there was an outrageous rumor in Jiangnan, which spread everywhere, claiming that the imperial court wanted to move the people of Jiangnan into Guanzhong.

It’s no wonder that the people think too much. After Yang Jian quelled Yuchijiong, he planned to relocate some people from the Kanto region to enrich the northern border. If it wasn’t for the uncommon dissuasion of Yang Yong and Yang Guang, it might have been possible. .

The source of this rumor is already difficult to discern, but its spread and dissemination cannot do without the help of ambitious people.

For a while, the public opinion in the south of the Yangtze River was in an uproar, and the people's hatred of the Sui Dynasty increased.

Nan Chenjiudi at this time was like sitting on a powder keg, waiting for someone to ignite the first spark.

In November of the tenth year of Kaihuang (590 A.D.), Yang Jian offered sacrifices in the southern suburbs, praying to heaven and earth.

This sacrifice soon had feedback. In the same month, Wang Wenjin from Wuzhou, Gao Zhihui from Yuezhou, Shen Xuanyu from Suzhou and others raised their troops one after another, proclaiming themselves the Son of Heaven, and appointing hundreds of officials.

Cai Daoren from Le'an, Li Kui from Jiangshan, Wu Shihua from Raozhou, Shen Xiaoche from Wenzhou, Wang Guoqing from Quanzhou, Yang Baoying from Hangzhou, Li Chun from Jiaozhou, and others also called themselves Dadudu.

They captured prefectures and counties, slaughtered officials, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River gathered to respond. For a while, all the old lands in the south of the country rebelled.

However, all captured Sui Dynasty officials were either disemboweled in public, or their flesh was eaten by the people. There was no famine in the south of the Yangtze River, but the people cannibalized human flesh, just like the tragedy of Hou Jing who plagued the south of the Yangtze River in the past.

Angry people will always curse the officials before they die:

"See how you can force us to recite the "Five Religions"!"

Yang Jun, the king of Qin who was appointed as the general manager of Yangzhou and governor of 44 states, saw that the south of the Yangtze River was revolting, and he didn't dare to hide it from the court, so he hurriedly sent envoys to Daxing for help.

Although the root of this rebellion lies in the improper administration of the imperial court, the forced indoctrination of the "Five Religions" in order to achieve ideological unity, which eventually aroused public outrage.

But Yang Jun, as the general manager of Yangzhou, obviously cannot escape the blame, at least one crime of negligence is inevitable.

After sending the envoy away, Yang Jun sat in the manager's mansion and sighed, I'm afraid he will stay in Yangzhou soon.

The envoy hurried to Daxing, it was already the end of the year, and all the officials were preparing for the coming Yuanhui.

When Yang Jian heard the news, his face turned pale with shock, and the emissary said that Jiangnan is against him, which really made him unable to take it lightly.

Yang Jian hurriedly summoned a group of cronies, including servants Gao Jiong and Su Wei, internal historian Yang Su, minister of the Ministry of Officials Niu Hong, minister of the Ministry of War Cui Che and others.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the news, even Cui Che was no exception, he acted so vividly that no one could see that he had anticipated Jiangnan's rebellion.

Yang Jian asked everyone what to do, and Cui Che was the first to stand out and said:

"The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is serious. The king of Qin mishandled it. The minister thought that the king of Jin could move to Yangzhou and become the marshal of the army."

Cui Che was afraid of Yang Jun, King of Qin who advocated Buddhism and was unwilling to kill.

If Yang Jun were to lead the army to quell the rebellion, he might not be able to cross the Yangtze River in his lifetime.

Yang Jian nodded when he heard the words. Yang Jian had also heard about Yang Jun's deeds during the Ping Chen period. At first he thought he was being modest, but after hearing the minister's report, he realized that Yang Jun was actually afraid of war. It was too outrageous to be true.

All the ministers also echoed Cui Che's proposal, and even Gao Jiong never objected.

As the crown prince, Yang Yong is naturally inconvenient to leave the town of Yangzhou. Jin Wang Yang Guangxian's name spreads far and wide. Among the princes, there is no more suitable candidate than him.

Gao Jiong has always upheld a public heart and no sectarian views on major matters related to the safety of the country.
