Chapter 389: Ascending the throne as emperor, there are more and more concerns
Yang Tong has ascended the throne!
This news swept like a tidal wave, although this is expected, but the world is still shaken, as the prince of Qin and the emperor sit on the country, it is completely different, the impact on the Great Sui on the world is completely different, the King of Qin represents Yang Dong and the southern princes are equal, even if Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, and Xiao Milling are called emperors, the people will not say that their status is higher than that of the King of Qin, because under the premise that the Sui Dynasty still exists, they are always the rebels of the Sui Dynasty; After Yang Tong ascended the throne, the status of these people is even more incomparable, if the Sui Dynasty is weak, everyone will not care, but at this time, the Great Sui has unified the north and become the first force in the world, which also makes the people of the world feel that the Great Sui is making a comeback, but after these years of subtle influence, and various policies for the benefit of the people have been artificially spread,' The word 'Tyrannical Sui' has long been erased among the people of all forces, and the only thought of the people is the yearning for various new policies, and even suspects that this is not true, hundreds of years have passed like this, so that the people themselves feel that being exploited by the family is a matter of course, and it is precisely because of this that they yearn for the policy of the Great Sui at the same time, they also have doubts.
The people's opinions, thoughts, and sayings, Yang Tong himself can't see, hear, or feel, and even if he hears them, he can't take them into account. He just wanted to completely stabilize the north by ascending the throne, and re-branded Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and Liaodong with the seal of the Great Sui, so that the people of the north could officially become the subjects of the Great Sui, and let the generals of civil and military affairs strive for the prosperity of the Great Sui.
Yang Tong named the year 'Shengwu', but also to tell the world: although the name of the country is still the Great Sui Dynasty, but it is actually very different from the old Sui, and now the Great Sui is the country that he Yang Tong shot down with a knife, rather than inherited from the hands of Emperor Wen Yang Jian and Emperor Wu Yang Guang.
The princes of various places did not say a word about Yang Tong's accession to the throne, as if they were disdainful and seemed to be secretly panicking, but no matter what they thought or interpreted, they could only keep their thoughts in their hearts, because Yang Dong at this time was not weak and bullying Yang Qi, who was the emperor in Luoyang:
First, Yang Tong not only has the edict of Emperor Wu Yang Guang's blood book, but also the jade seal of the country.
Second, the princes of the world are combined, and with the current background of the Great Sui, they are not afraid of them at all, not to mention that the princes of all walks of life, how can they be combined for the sake of the internal affairs of the Great Sui? At present, they are all thinking about enhancing their own strength, and after unifying the south, they will fight against the Great Sui Dynasty, so as to realize the dream of dividing the north and dominating the world.
Dou Jiande, Xiao Miao, Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, Li Zitong, and Lin Shihong all secretly sent envoys to send heavy gifts, although they did not say that they were ministers, but they all expressed their willingness to live in peace.
Especially Xiao Mill's envoy Cen Wenwen, there is more idea of forming an alliance, although Xiao Milling is weak, but he is not stupid, Li Yuan, Li Mi, and Wang Shichong are all heroes, they have no hope of going north, so they can only go south and west, and the multinational war that happened on the land of Jingzhou shows that everyone intends to kill him and let the Western Liang Kingdom go out first. And although his Western Liang State is very rich, but the generals have their own thoughts, and the army is not strong, and they can't fight against a vicious tiger and jackal, for the sake of the foundation, he is even willing to remove the national name, respect Sui and stand on his own.
Yang Tong is very busy now, and he has no time to meet and reply for the time being, but he also let Pei Renji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, appease him.
As for Wang Shichong and Li Mi, the two heroes of the Central Plains, not only the heaviest gifts, but also the specifications of the envoys are also high, led by Zheng Guo's Cai Wang Qianshou and Wei Guo's Nayan Bing Yuanzhen.
However, Yang Tong also did not meet with him, as far as the Great Sui was concerned, these princes were all anti-thieves, and their status was completely unequal, if they were the first to meet these people, they would have reduced their status to the same level as anti-thieves.
This seems to be a bit of a work, but it is true, because Yang Tong is not a self-made man, let alone relying on rebellion to get today's status, he is the orthodoxy of Miao Genzhenghong, and the other princes are all grass kings.
Five days after ascending the throne!
Yang Tong finally slowed down, and slowly adapted to the role of the emperor, as Xiao Wu said, even if he became the emperor, there was not much change in the palace, if he really wanted to say change, it was to change the self-title of 'me, me, me', to 'I', everything else seemed to be as usual, and Yang Tong didn't pay attention to some subtle changes.
If you think about it, it's just a change in role.
And different stages of life, play different roles in life, parents in front of their own children, lovers in front of their partners, in front of their parents are parents. In front of his subjects, Yang Tong's role has also changed step by step, from the puppet-like King Yue to the King of Qin, from the King of Qin to the current Emperor of the Great Sui.
Now.
Officials from all over the country have left one after another, Yecheng has gradually returned to normal, and the envoys of various countries are offering good food and drink in the post house, and Yang Tong still has no time to meet them.
Chaoyang Palace.
Yang Tong discussed with the important ministers, he looked at Yang Gongren's serious face with a smile on his face, and said speechlessly: "Taibao, it's been three days, and you're still laughing, I almost suspect that you're fainting." ”
"Haha! The Holy One ascended the throne, everything is justified, who is not happy? Fang Xuanling on the side was overjoyed.
Now that the Great Sui has an emperor, various departments have officially become the administrative system of the imperial court, and the grade has risen from a 'small' force to the height of the state. In other words, Yang Tong's ascension to the throne is not his personal matter, but has already related to the stability of the entire regime.
Yang Tong used to use the body of the King of Qin to exercise the power of the emperor, he himself did not feel anything, but the courtiers had different feelings, although the three provinces, nine departments, and eight temples were all established, there was always a sense of disobedience and theft of official positions, and he always felt inferior, so whether it was the royal family or the government and the opposition, they all hoped that Yang Tong would officially ascend the throne and end this embarrassing abnormal state.
With Yang Tong's ascension to the throne, this embarrassing situation no longer exists, everything has become formal, officials and soldiers have goals and motivation to struggle, and the spirit and spirit shown are far from what they used to be.
This kind of change in spirit-
Yang Tong could feel it.
It is only now that Yang Tong understands the gold content of 'justifiable' in ancient times.
"I'm the emperor, what's the next thing I have to do?" Yang Tong asked with a smile.
Chaoyang Hall is not the outer court court, nor is it the inner court temple after the Chaotian Palace, this is just a side hall for Yang Tong and important ministers to discuss matters, and there is no need to pay attention to so much etiquette when talking between monarchs and ministers.
"Generally speaking, after the emperor ascends the throne, he will give amnesty to the world and release some criminals to show benevolence, but my dynasty has canceled this step, should it be replaced by other methods?" Pei Renji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has also entered the role, and as soon as he heard Yang Tong's inquiry, he skillfully explained the process after ascending the throne.
"Exempt from the field tax next year. It is the common people who benefit from this, not those criminals, and it is much more beneficial than an amnesty to the world. ”
"Will the total exemption affect the income of the imperial court?" Bae In-ki asked worriedly.
"We rent a lot of official land to the people for farming, this is not the people's land, what should be harvested still has to be collected! It's not too much, but it can be used for a season no matter how you calculate it. As for the shortcomings, let's dispatch them from the treasury! This year, there has been a great drought in all parts of the country, and the life of the people is very hard, and we cannot put the burden on the people, and we will cut off many troops, and we will spend less than before. ”
With today's background, it is no problem to raise the people of a country for five years by eating and drinking for nothing, and it is a bitter plan played by Yang Tong and these people that day in front of all the military generals, in order to successfully implement the disarmament policy.
What's more, there is still a huge amount of money locked up in the Chang'an Heavenly Prison, if it can blackmail the victory, it will be used to support the people of the Great Sui for a year, and Yang Tong wants to give Li Yuan a pennant with the words 'Fortune Boy' written on it.
Seeing that everyone was smiling and silent, Pei Renji no longer dwelled on this issue, and said: "Shengshang, Li Yuan, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Xiao Mi, Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, Li Zitong, Lin Shihong and others should also be declared traitors. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Tong really had a headache.
When he was not the emperor before, he could use the mud to turn a blind eye to Li Yuan, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande, acquiescing in the fact that they were self-reliant, and then using commercial means to steal their family wealth with rotten money, step by step to eat away at the vitality of various regimes, and sit and watch them fight with a muffled fortune.
But now it is definitely not possible, and the orthodox self not only has to strongly condemn these princes, but also sharply define them all as great rebels, and what are the consequences of doing so?
1. If you continue to associate with these people, you will be betraying the military and the people.
The second consequence is that these princes are very likely to join forces because of this: if the Great Sui is still the Great Sui with only two states. The southern princes did not feel the threat of the Great Sui, and they did not say a word or disdain the edict of the Great Sui, and when they heard the joke, they went their separate ways. But the current Great Sui is the first prince in the world, and the seventh part of the world occupies the third. Everyone was afraid of the huge Great Sui, everyone thought that the edict was true, and everyone was worried that the Great Sui would deal with him, so it became possible to abandon the previous suspicions and cooperate in battle.
When Yang Tong said this concern, there was a sudden silence in the hall.
Half an hour!
Yang Gongren said solemnly: "Holy Lord, the edict reprimands the southern princes as thieves, it is indeed possible to let them join forces!" But this must be done in order to gain fame and righteousness, so as to build the foundation for the future unification of the world! Moreover, the contradictions of the southern princes are as heavy as mountains and the grievances are as deep as the sea, even if they form an alliance to fight, they will not be able to work with one heart and one mind. ”
"Resigned!" At this time, a soft and firm voice sounded from the side, and a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and a lofty spirit stood up, he was Yang Shanhui, a historical bull who won a hundred battles.
He arched his hand and said: "If he is tied up because of a loose alliance that may not exist, then how can he command the world and make the people fearful?" Therefore, this edict should be issued. ”
"Temple, Holy Lord, the most difficult days of my Great Sui have passed, are you still afraid that this group of grass will not succeed? If they really want to form an alliance, they can be caught! Tan Guogong Luo Shixin said proudly.
Yang Tong smiled dumbly, patted his head, and said, "After becoming the emperor, I feel that I have become less courageous. ”
"It's not that the saint has become less courageous, it's that the saint has grown up!" Yang Gongren said.
"Uh......!" Yang Tong's face darkened, and he turned his head away from looking at him.
