As soon as the flames of war were ignited, they were suppressed. In the first half of the night, Daxing Palace was still shrouded in a joyful atmosphere, and in the second half of the night, there was a shocking shout of killing in the direction of the imperial city.

For this sudden war, the whole city was terrified.

What happened in Daxing Palace? The people of Chang'an City can vaguely guess it.

After all, this kind of war is not the first time that this kind of war has happened in Chang'an, could it be said that Chang'an was recovered by the Great Sui for less than half a year, and another emperor was changed?

The people stayed up all night, and the men in the family were nervously holding all kinds of 'weapons', looking at the door of their homes vigilantly. The old and weak women are holding their children, hiding in the corners where they think they are safe, struggling to suppress the fear in their hearts, and soothing the children who dream from time to time with a subtle trembling voice.

The people don't care who is the emperor, as long as they live a good life, they are satisfied.

If you don't have too much ambition, you naturally don't have any unnecessary worries, and you won't think so deeply and so far......

However, in general, the people sincerely hope that the Great Sui Dynasty will hold on, and only if the Great Sui wins, the freedom, land and various benefits they get will belong to them soon, and if others win, everything they have just gained will be lost, and then they will live like dogs again.

The people are looking forward to the dawn and afraid of the dawn at the same time, because they do not know what the consequences of this huge coup d'état will bring to themselves, and all this can only be revealed tomorrow.

I don't know how long it took, the shouting and killing sound of Daxing Palace gradually disappeared, but the dawn was bright.

Soon!

The doors of the workshops have been opened!

Fang officials and Fang soldiers cooperated with the army, and they were dispatched one after another, shouting loudly in the streets of Fangzhong, telling the people not to panic, and talking about the cause and effect of last night's battle: Li Tang's remnants were unwilling to defeat and attempted to murder His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but they were informed in advance by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Li Tang's conspiracy failed, and the remnants were all ambushed.

At the same time, he told the people that Suzaku Hengjie was under martial law, so that everyone could avoid the detour, not because the war was not over, but because the scene was too tragic, His Royal Highness the King of Qin did not want the people to be frightened, and hoped that the people would understand the hard work of the King of Qin.

After a few words, the people of the entire Chang'an City settled down, and when they got up the courage to walk out of their homes, out of the fangmen, and onto the street, they found that everything was as usual, and they were completely relieved.

The people are settled!

But for General Da Sui, this night battle was not the end, but a new beginning.

Li Jing and other generals led soldiers and horses, and within this day, all the dark forces of the family in Chang'an City related to the rebellion that night were captured.

As for public opinion, Yang Tong has been grasping very tightly, and on this day, the major restaurants, teahouses, and neighborhoods are full of storytellers, and they explain the cause and effect of this incident to the people:

The remnants of the family were unwilling to fail, several times to seize the land in the hands of the people, to burn the Yixue School, so that the people continue to be ignorant, the king of Qin took care of the feelings of the same clan, endured again and again, and even forgave them these children of the family and domestic slaves, unexpectedly, these people are not only not grateful, but intensified, this time it is even more openly, want to take advantage of the King of Qin's inspection of Chang'an, take the opportunity to make trouble, seize Chang'an, capture Daxing Palace, take away everything from the people, subvert the Great Sui River, and finally angered the King of Qin, only after the war, There is the next thing to arrest the remnants of the family.

The story is indeed beautified, but it is generally justified, not blindly made up, and it is this rapid public opinion offensive that makes the fear of the people of Chang'an quickly fade, and at the same time, some people inevitably take the opportunity to make waves, not only Chang'an, but also the storytellers and officials in the entire Guanzhong region have received orders to spread these contents among the people before the news spreads out of Chang'an.

。。。。。

After another three days, a thousand young scholars who were selected by the imperial court came to Chang'an from Yecheng, and stood in the Liangyi Hall one by one in good clothes and in good spirits.

Yang Tong sat on the dragon chair and said with a smile: "I want to congratulate you first, from today onwards, you are all official court officials." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"You are the best selected from among the many reserve officials, the oldest is only thirty-five years old, all of them are outstanding talents of the Great Sui, and today's arrangement is just the beginning for you, so you must not swell."

"Your knowledge is very good, but whether your actual ability can be attached to your academic articles will take time and your achievements to prove, so you can only start as a county-level official." Yang Tong smiled: "Do you have any opinions on the arrangements of the imperial court?" ”

"No objection to the ministers!"

A group of scholars who were about to enter the government hurriedly bowed down and said, county officials, it is not difficult at all for the children of the families under the rule of other princes, but for the children of the poor family, such an opportunity to prove themselves is not easy. is also in the Great Sui, if you go to Li Yuan and Xiao Miao, there is nothing to do with them at all.

"Your Highness, the minister has something unclear." One stood up from the line and bowed.

"Please!" Yang Tong looked at each other encouragingly.

"Thank you, Your Highness." After the scholar bowed, he said loudly: "Your Highness's poetry collection ministers don't say that each person has two or three copies, but one for each person. ”

Everyone nodded.

Yang Tong smiled and said: "That's the princess, they compiled the works I usually use to practice calligraphy into a book, it is a gift for me, everyone doesn't have to take it seriously!" Your family background is not good, don't buy it because it is my Yang Dong's thing, everything must be considered from your own affordability. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone said gratefully.

"Please continue!" Yang Tong said to the scholar.

"Whoa!" The scholar said: "Your Highness's poems and articles are all carefully read, and any poem or article is a masterpiece through the ages. ”

Yang Tong smiled slightly, the masterpieces of many gods, can they not be masterpieces of the ages?

"What the minister wants to say is that His Royal Highness himself is the emperor of the literati! But why, whether it is the subject of scientific examinations or the courses taught in training courses, they are mainly focused on local governance? The minister is not saying that the way of governing the country is not good, but the way of governing the country is not all that is learned, so why does His Highness only measure his talents by governing the country? ”

"That's a pretty good question."

Yang Tong first praised it, and then said: "Other knowledge is also very important, but I think that life is limited and learning is endless, and it is impossible for one person to be all-encompassing." The mission of the officials is to govern the people, so all knowledge other than governing the country is secondary, and what about the people? They are concerned about three meals a day, full food and clothing, and whether local officials can lead everyone to get rich, and the people don't even know the words. Speaking of which, I would like to ask you a rhetorical question: Do you think that the book of the sages will make the people healthy and well-fed? ”

"This ...... But it can't, but the learning of the sages is in education, not ......" The scholar wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Yang Dongshengsheng.

"It is true that the way of the sages can educate the people, but I want to emphasize again: the first task of the officials is to make one side safe and the people rich, if they can't even eat enough, who wants to listen to the sages?"

Yang Tong looked at everyone with a majestic gaze, and said in a deep voice: "The way of sages, poetry, qin, calligraphy and painting can make people self-cultivation, but the way of being an official is to do practical things for the people and share worries for the court, especially in troubled times, what I need is talents who can govern the world, not empty talkers, so the officials of the Great Sui are all pragmatic." ”

"Teachable!" The gentleman said no more, bowed, and then retreated into the queue.

"The people really need the way of the sages, poetry, piano, calligraphy and painting, but that is something they only consider after solving the problem of food and clothing, having surplus food and money at home, and knowing the written word. What the people need, I don't count, and what you say doesn't count, only the people themselves have the final say. I think that after you take office, the first thing you do is not to think about how to be a good official of a place, but to visit the people as ordinary people, ask the people's opinions, only when you hear the voices of the people, you know what you should do, what you should do. You must remember: sitting in the official office is a bad place to govern, and it is not good to be an official, so you must go out and listen to the voice of the people! ”

"Whoa!" The crowd bowed down to answer the command.

"Your Highness, the minister also has a question." The other man bowed down.

"Excuse me!" Yang Tong nodded.

"As far as the minister knows, this time my Great Sui recovered five counties and took Mingyue County, a total of only six counties. It stands to reason that you don't need so many people, right? ”

"Three aspects: 1. During the period of the Second Emperor of Wenwu and Wu, my Great Sui official system was a term of three years, and he was not allowed to be re-elected in the local area, but the distance was far away, and the officials came and went, and almost a year was spent on the road, so I changed the term of office to a five-year term, but in order to take into account the problem of ability, so each official has a one-year internship period, and only after passing can he continue to complete his position, otherwise he will be dismissed. Liangzhou and other places are far away, if someone is removed because of disqualification, the post will be idle for a long time, and a lack of officials in a place will definitely not work, so twice as many officials are invested at a time;

2. Once the Silk Road is opened, the business travel of various countries will be continuous, and disputes will inevitably arise on the way to business, which will require the mediation of our officials;

3. In the future, our Great Sui will have three chief and deputy envoys stationed in each of the countries of the Western Regions, and these envoys will communicate with other countries in a timely manner on behalf of our Great Sui and seek benefits for our Great Sui. The real intention of me asking you to communicate with Hu Shang on the Silk Road is to let you get tempered and accumulate experience for the countries stationed in the Western Regions in the future, and then the envoys of various countries will be selected from among you, and the period will still be five years, and you will return to China at the end of the period. Yang Tong looked at the ministers with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

The next moment, everyone was excited.

Zhang Qian and Ban Chao envoys to the Western Regions, their great deeds are still talked about today, but now, Yang Tong has given them a chance to go down in history, which also makes everyone have a more lofty goal, and they are extremely excited.

"If you still have any questions, you may wish to tell them one by one. I will give you a satisfactory answer. Yang Tong looked at everyone with a smile.

A group of people shook their heads, the previous two points were the two points they cared about the most, the former was a long-term puzzle, and the latter was the future, now Yang Tong gave an explanation, and the doubts in his heart were eliminated.

Seeing this, Yang Tong said loudly: "The six counties of Zhangye, Dunhuang, Yiwu, Shanshan, Jimo and Mingyue are remote, but they have the value and potential for development in various places. So, I'm going to make reasonable use of each one. Although the environment is also quite harsh, it is also a good place to make achievements and prove yourself. If you can make a barren county rich, your merit will be far greater than that of governing a rich county, and it will also prove your ability more. ”

"For the land of abundance only needs to be done step by step, and even if it is well governed, its potential has long been exhausted, and it does not reflect your own value and talents. I think these places are a good whetstone, and in the next five years, you will prove yourself in the border areas, and I hope you will encourage you. ”

"The ministers will live up to the trust of His Highness!" Everyone hurriedly bowed and said.
