On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 275
For a person like Gao Jiong, you can let him govern the country, but if you really want to engage in internal fighting, it is not enough.

It is true that he once criticized Li Delin following the trend, but compared to Yang Su, he can be regarded as having principles and a bottom line.

However, the job of internal fighting is to use any means.

For example, the struggle between the old and new parties in the Northern Song Dynasty developed from the initial personal attack to the later stage. Even if the person is dead, his tombstone must be destroyed, his grave buried, and his posthumous title taken away, bringing disaster to his wife and children.

If Song Zhezong hadn't stopped them, I'm afraid that people like Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu would really have their coffins opened and their corpses whipped by Zhang Dun.

This is also the reason why Cui Che refused Gao Jiong's solicitation when he first entered the prime minister's mansion, and firmly joined Yang Guang.

One side is pressing every step of the way, but the other side is able to bear with each other for the sake of the country, and the emperor sits on the throne with a hero like Yang Jian, who can control the situation. The court of the Sui Dynasty really cannot be chaotic.

Until two months later, that is, in October of the 15th year of Kaihuang (AD 595), Yang Jian was promoted to Jingzhou General Manager's Mansion as Grand Chief Manager's Mansion.

Since then, the Sui Dynasty had a total of four general administrations, namely Bingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, and Jingzhou.

Yang Jian had five sons. Except for the crown prince Yang Yong, the position of chief executive, logically speaking, should be one for each of the four sons.

At the time of enfeoffment, Yang Guang was the general manager of Bingzhou, the king of Jin, and now guards Yangzhou.

Yang Jun was the general manager of Qinzhou, so he was named King of Qin, and now he has changed the town to Bingzhou.

Yang Xiu is the governor of Yizhou, the king of Shu. After the death of Shi Yuanyan, the governor of Yizhou two years ago, he immediately resigned as the internal historian and returned to Shu.

The youngest son, Yang Liang, is the King of Han, and the post of Jingzhou Governor is undoubtedly left to Yang Liang.

But the parents love Yao'er, Yang Guang, Yang Jun, and Yang Xiu are all out of town now, if Yang Liang is really sent away, only Yang Yong, who doesn't like it, will be left by his side.

So before Yang Liang left, Yang Jian and his wife changed their minds and left him in Daxing again.

As one of the four newly-promoted general managers, the governor of Jingzhou cannot be left alone.

What's more, the decree has already been promulgated throughout the country. It is impossible to just get promoted and then downgrade the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

Changing orders from day to day, isn't this Wang Mang?

Therefore, who should be the governor of Jingzhou has become a difficult problem.

Jingzhou General Manager's Mansion is equivalent to Bingzhou and Yizhou, and the military governor of 24 states is second only to Yangzhou General Manager's Mansion, which is the governor of 44 prefectures.

For this reason, the Royal Jin Party and the Princeling Party were in a fierce battle, and even Cui Che had an idea, planning to seek the post of Jingzhou Governor.

However, everything is impossible to be satisfactory. There is a saying that the snipe and the clam fight each other, and the fisherman benefits. In the end, the post of Jingzhou General Manager falls on Wei Shikang, then Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Wei Shikang came from Jingzhao Webster, he was Wei Xiaokuan's nephew, he was also a good friend of Cui Che who passed away a few days ago, and the brother of Wei Yi, the governor of Yingzhou.

Although he married Yu Wentai's daughter, he was the son-in-law of the former dynasty, but he has both ability and political integrity, and he is cautious in dealing with people, so he is deeply loved by Yang Jian.

This appointment was really unexpected, because Wei Shikang had been asking Yang Jian to let him resign and return to his hometown.

Wei Shikang became an official at the age of ten and was designated as the governor of the state. Now he is 65 years old and has been an official for 55 years.

Because the family is full of dignitaries, he always wants to ask for a retreat in order to protect himself wisely.

But perhaps it was his attitude of not loving the official position that made Yang Jian make a decision.

This point, Cui Che really can't learn, his role in front of Yang Jian is too profound, if he suddenly imitates the aged Wei Shikang, how can he be convincing.

It's not that Yang Jian has never considered Cui Che. After all, three of the four chief executives are his own sons, and the remaining one is handed over to his most valued son-in-law.

But after careful consideration, Yang Jian was unwilling to continue to provoke the prince's party. He wanted to cut the flesh slowly, so he abandoned Cui Che and chose Wei Shikang.

Wei Shikang is not in the prince's party, and he is not close to Jin Wang Yang Guang. Both parties can accept this candidate.

The person who replaced Wei Yi who died of illness as the governor of Yingzhou was the former governor of Nanning Prefecture (Zhiwei County, now Qujing, Yunnan), Wei Shikang and Wei Yi's younger brother, Wei Chong.

Now a rebellion is brewing in northern Xinjiang, but whether it is Western Turkic, Western Turkic, Eastern Turkic, or Goguryeo, they are far apart.

During the exchange of news, it can last for a year or a half, or it can be as short as several months.

However, the Sui Dynasty was powerful, and it had to be carefully planned to be an enemy, so the rebellion in the north was never triggered.

But the southwestern frontier has been very noisy these years, and this matter is also related to Wei Chong.

Wei Chong was previously appointed as the governor of Nanning Prefecture. During his tenure, he recruited surrenders and rebels, comforted the barbarians, and the southwestern border was peaceful. He was also highly praised by Yang Jian.

But three years ago, a major case broke out in Nanning Prefecture.

When Wei Chong took office, he brought his nephew Wei Boren to Wei County.

The imperial court only did not allow officials to bring their parents and heirs, but nephews were not included. Therefore, officials often took advantage of loopholes. Brothers brought each other's heirs to the post and raised them carefully.

Wei Chong and Wei Boren are such cases.

His heir Wei Chong never expected that Wei Boren, his elder nephew, would surprise him.

Wei Chong comforted the barbarian leader in the front yard, while Wei Boren snatched his wife in the back yard.

At this time, the Cuàn people who occupied the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, that is, the Yi people of later generations, could not bear the humiliation and rebelled against the rule of the Sui Dynasty one after another, resulting in repeated rebellions in the southwest over the years.

After Yang Jian learned of this, he ordered Shi Yuanyan, the governor of Yizhou, to investigate and deal with it, so Wei Chong was dismissed from office.

His younger brother Wei Shiyue, who was the prince Xima at the time, was also expelled because he slandered Yuan Yan to Yang Yong.

Now that Yang Jian used Wei Chong again and appointed him as the governor of Yingzhou to guard against Goguryeo, he naturally knew about the Nanning prefecture, not Wei Chong's problem.

It's just that this time, no matter what, he is not allowed to take the younger generation of his family to take office, so as not to do bad things again.

At the same time, Yang Jian also intends to completely wipe out the southwest rebellion, after all, he doesn't know that Mobei is about to undergo major changes.

As for the candidates to lead the army, Yang Jian preferred to send Shi Wansui to the expedition.

Following the death of Han Qinhu, He Ruobi was removed from his post, and now only Yang Su, Cui Che, and Shi Wansui remained among the five famous generals.

Yang Su shoots for the right servant of Shangshu, and Cui Che is an official worshiping Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, both of them have civil posts.

Shi Wansui became the best candidate.

The Cuanren rebellion is difficult to eliminate, the main root cause is that the terrain is complex, and it cannot threaten the hinterland, it is just a disease of ringworm and scabies.

What's more, during the Five Religion Rebellion, Shi Wansui led only [-] elite soldiers, but fought thousands of miles away. After [-] battles, Wang Wenjin was finally put down.

Yang Jian believes that Shi Wansui is more suitable than Yang Su and Cui Che when it is difficult for the imperial court to send troops to the southwest.

It's just that the matter has not been settled yet, and the changes in northern Xinjiang happened suddenly.

　In the early morning, it will be very late.
