Chapter 604: Madness Before Defeat
The Shengwu Hall serves as a side hall for the imperial books.
Yang Tong sat behind a royal case, the notes on the desk were piled up as high as a hill, and he held his forehead while looking through the recitals and military newspapers on the desk. At the end of the year, each county has sent a summary of the year, as well as the plan for the coming year, and there are some that cannot be the master, I hope that the imperial court will make a decision as soon as possible, the transfer of officials, the transfer of money and grain, the deployment of border defenses, the corruption of officials or inaction, and there are many major events within the court that need the emperor's consent.
Yang Tong finally understood why there were fewer Ming monarchs and more faint monarchs in ancient times, it was really miserable to be a Ming monarch, and he was placed in front of you like a mountain, even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, he would scold his mother. What's even more maddening is that you have dealt with one book and immediately sent ten copies, isn't this a human life? He only hopes that his son will grow up quickly, and then throw these things to him, so that he can be a free emperor.
He disliked that the hall was too stuffy, and he was so bored that he was irritable, so he ordered someone to open the door, and the cold wind blew, which made the congested brain feel a lot more comfortable. After a short break, I threw myself into the boring recital.
"Holy Lord, Princess Lujiang and General Yin are here."
"Xuan!" Yang Tong was so busy that he couldn't even raise his head, watching the recruitment plan of the military department, as well as the arrangement of money and food.
After a while, Yang Qinfang and Yin Mingyue walked into the hall and bowed down: "See the saint." ”
"If there is a big event, just say it, sit by yourself if you have nothing to do." is not a formal occasion, Yang Tong has always been more casual.
"You've been reviewing it for an afternoon?" Yang Qinfang asked in shock, at first, she sat quietly on the side and watched, but in less than half an hour, she couldn't bear it, and ran out to find Wei Fengwu and them to have a snowball fight.
"Each county has a plan for the coming year, and there are countless projects such as road repair, canal repair, etc., which must be carefully watched, and all political performance projects are rejected; And the real facts depend on the details...... It's really not something that can be handled in a while. ”
"Won't you let the Shangshu and the squire block back a batch first?"
"What is within the authority, they have already dealt with it, otherwise there will be more, and these will have to be handled by me. Some of the county guards' notes were sent by manpower, and they have been here for more than two or three months. I don't blame them, it's really the vast territory of the Great Sui, and it snows everywhere at the end of the year, so it's inconvenient to transmit news, but fortunately, a lot of official roads have been built this year, and many official roads are also under construction, and it will be better in the future. ”
Yang Guang is right in saying this, the infrastructure construction of the Great Sui is generally based on road construction, last year the focus was on the excavation of the Taihang Eight Mountains, for which hundreds of thousands of slaves were mobilized, and the military capital, the Flying Fox, and the Jingcheng were widened and straightened again, which greatly facilitated the exchanges between Youzhou and Guanwai, Jizhou and Jizhou, and Jizhou and Bingzhou.
And this year, in addition to repairing Luoyang, more slaves built from Dingxiang in the north, south to the Yellow River in Ruicheng County, Hedong County, this spacious and smooth road, greatly facilitated the traffic from the grassland to Luoyang, so that the time from Dingxiang to Luoyang was shortened by more than half a month.
"Take a break!"
Yang Qinfang said, came straight behind Yang Tong, ignored Yin Mingyue's cold face, put a pair of jade hands on Yang Tong's shoulders, and used a slight force.
Hundred refined steel is also afraid of finger wrapping.
This is what a certain person has said before, and Yang Qinfang has always kept it in mind.
The emperor faced Yang Qinfang's gentle and watery flattering methods, and enjoyed her slightly rusty massage skills.
"How?"
Yang Qinfang's words did not hide the flattering taste.
"So-so! It's much worse than Mingyue......" Yang Tong, who was telling the truth, suddenly 'sizzled' and said, "The strength is too heavy, it hurts." ”
"I won't, I can't control the strength well, they all say that practice makes perfect, and slowly you get used to it." Yang Qinfang finished with a smile, and then twisted it again.
Yin Mingyue looked at her nose and nose and heart, silently watching from the side, and a touch of distress flashed in her eyes from time to time.
"Alright, alright!" Yang Tong asked Yang Qinfang to rectify it several times, for fear of being strangled to death by this guy who was not light or heavy, so he quickly stood up and looked at Mingyue, who wanted to speak many times and stopped talking again: "Mingyue, what's the matter with you?" ”
"Holy Lord, please!" Yin Mingyue presented a piece of information and said, "This is from Xiangyang, and it's not a big deal. ”
"Oh? Let me see. ”
Yang Tong took a look, but it was a letter sent by Dugu through the Ministry of Commerce, which was written by Dugu Quan, the old head of the Dugu family, in which he euphemistically expressed Dugu's loyalty to the Great Sui, and said that the new head of the family, Dugu Cheng, would enter Beijing after the year to ask for a meeting.
In fact, Dugu is not the first Guanlong nobleman to express cooperation with the Great Sui, as early as a few years ago, the head of the Wei family has been letting his second son in Yecheng 'public relations', and I have also asked to see the Empress Dowager Wei many times, but when the Empress Dowager Wei and Yang Yu were the most difficult, the Wei family abandoned their mother and son, so the Empress Dowager Wei hated this brother to the core, if it wasn't for Yang Tong, how could Wei Siqi see the Empress Dowager Wei.
And the Dugu clan has always had the heart to reconcile with Yang Tong, but it is the first time that the old family head has written a letter and the new family head has personally entered the court, obviously Li Yuan's situation has made everyone not optimistic, for the benefit of the family, these Guanlong nobles have to speed up the process of cooperation with the Great Sui.
Yang Tong is not surprised by the actions of these people.
In order to keep their family wealth and future, it is impossible for the Guanlong nobles to put their future and fate on the Li Yuan family, especially when Li Tang was suppressed by the Great Sui and couldn't raise his head, it was impossible to accompany Li Yuan to the funeral.
Yang Tong looked at Yin Mingyue and asked with a smile, "What else is going on?" ”
"Stand down." Yin Mingyue glanced at several palace ladies who were grinding ink, and a few of them bowed and retreated.
Yin Mingyue's solemnity made Yang Tong extremely curious, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”
"It is said that Li Yuanwu Chuan's authority has expanded, and his power is above the Criminal Department, Yushitai and Dali Temple, and it has risen to the point of arresting and killing officials."
Yang Tong smiled: "This is the madness before the defeat, what else?" ”
"Zero Zero One sent an eagle letter, saying that it was Wu Chuansi's next step to deal with Guan Long's possible jump."
"Are you sure?"
"Zero Zero One is deeply relied on by Li Yuanji, and he is his number one confidant, and Li Yuanji himself is violent, except for killing people and hunting, and seizing women from good families, he has no patience to deal with all kinds of chores, and all the things of Wuchuan Division can't be bypassed Zero Zero One."
"Then what is Li Yuanji's outrageous performance recently?"
"I killed several officials of the Ministry of War, and several others were lucky enough not to die, but they were also disabled."
"What about Li Yuan, how did he behave?"
"Wuchuan Division is a sword in Li Yuan's hand, everything is directed by Li Yuan, he doesn't care about the death of these people at all. In addition to giving the deceased an official and a knight, he also ordered to conduct a three-hall trial, which can be said to be extremely important. What is ridiculous is that the Criminal Department, Yushitai and Dali Temple finally put the blame on the inquisitors of the Wuchuan Division, saying that the interrogators used torture privately in order to win Li Yuanji's favor, resulting in the deaths of several people, and the pseudo-Tang monarchs led by Li Yuan all acquiesced to this conclusion, and then killed several pawns of the Wuchuan Division. Yin Mingyue said quickly.
"I know, and I will send Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Ling Jing to see me."
"Whoa."
