Chapter 030: Lonely Minister
Gangdu Palace!
Emperor Yang Guang dismissed all the palace attendants and met with Yang Yichen, who was dusty and white-haired.
Looking at the aging Yang Yichen, Yang Guang was also a little sad.
He knew that Yang Yichen, who looked like he was seventy or eighty, was actually only forty-seven years old! A year younger than himself.
However, why Yang Yichen became like this, the answer is not asked-it is the bandits of Hebei Province who made this clan general overdrawn.
"Wechen meets the saint!" Yang Yichen bowed respectfully!
"Aiqing, please get up!" Yang Guang personally helped Yang Yichen up.
"Thank you!" Yang Yichen was a little flattered.
Yang Guang asked Yang Yichen to sit aside, and couldn't wait to ask, "Is Hebei Dao really flat?" ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is a royal military wizard and genius, who has a deep understanding of the art of war in every move. With more training, it will inevitably be a generation of commanders! Congratulations to the saint, who has both a talent and a good grandson. ”
On the way south, Yang Yichen heard all kinds of rumors about Yang Tong's persecution of scholars, and he was worried that Yang Guang would punish Yang Dong and cause Hebei Province to fall into chaos again, so he did not hesitate to praise Yang Tong.
Yang Guang laughed.
"What you have done in the north, I have learned from the good news of you and Dong'er, you have done a good job, I am very pleased! To be able to fight in Hebei, dismantle Dou Jiande's gang of jumping clowns, and save the people from fire and water, the experience must be wonderful... Tell me how Dong'er beat him..."
After Yang Yichen sat down, he told the battle of Wude Mountain 1510, and he neither exaggerated nor used the Spring and Autumn penmanship......
"Two hundred and thirty thousand anti-thieves who are not weaker than the Xiaoguo Army?"
Yang Guang's face was very ugly.
"Hebei Province has been in chaos for seven or eight years, and countless thieves have been replaced, and the bandits who have survived a hundred battles are all fierce and ferocious outlaws! The combat power is very strong! In terms of numbers, if you add a small stream of rogues, it's only a lot more! ”
"230,000 outlaws, all of them are Dou Jiande's soldiers?" Yang Guang asked through gritted teeth.
"Not really!" Yang Yichen said matter-of-factly: "Dou Jiande's soldiers only occupy about one-third, and the rest are many rogue forces!" In order to defeat His Highness, Dou Jiande gathered them together! ”
When Yang Guang heard this, his face recovered, Pei Ju, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji told him that there were no big rogues, all of them were small rebellions that were not in the climate, and all parts of the country were chasing and suppressing them with all their might! If Dou Jiande has more than 200,000 soldiers, then the three of them are bullying the king! But when I heard Yang Yichen say this, I was relieved.
"After Weichen defeated Gao Shida and Zhang Jincheng, he had a slight reputation in Hebei Province, and these rogues have been avoiding without fighting! The ministers are in the west, and they are running to the east! If they hadn't underestimated His Highness, it would never have been a battle. Speaking of this, Yang Yichen had a headache and a look of happiness!
Yang Guang nodded! He was also a soldier who knew the soldiers, so he naturally knew that swimming without attacking was the most troublesome, and he then asked: "Some people say that Dong'er killed more than 1,600 Hebei Provincial officials, what is going on?" ”
"Actually, there aren't so many!" Yang Yichen said: "Your Highness really killed only more than 500 officials, and the other more than 1,000 people were all bandits wearing official uniforms. ”
Yang Guangqi said: "What is the purpose of this? ”
"The reason why the bandits in Hebei Province are more and more flat! Seventy percent of the local officials are responsible, and it is they who are tyrannical and extortive, causing the people to starve and cold. The people can't survive, so they kill the officials and rebel! The reason why His Royal Highness joined more than 1,000 bandits was to let the people know the determination of the court officials and restore confidence in the court! Honest officials have long died at the hands of bandits, and the vast majority of those who are alive have interests with bandits! They were both courtiers and bandits...... His Royal Highness was angry, so he arrested and killed them all. ”
"These damn guys! You deserve to kill 10,000 times! Dong Er killed well! Yang Guanghuo Ran stood up and loudly praised Yang Dong for his courage in killing.
"This is the origin of the rumor that 'King Qin persecuted the scholars'?"
"This is just a appearance, the fundamental reason is that the Fan Yang Lu clan, the Boling Cui clan, the Zhaojun Li clan, the Qinghe Cui clan, and the Bohai Gao clan are greedy and shameless!"
Yang Yichen lied for Yang Tongyuan: "These family lords have long left Hebei Province, their houses have long been turned into white land, the fields have become overgrown wasteland, and the official household registration, real estate, and title deeds have long been destroyed in the war!" Now that Hebei Province has finally settled down, these family lords immediately took the real estate and the title deed to ask for real estate and fertile land, and no one knows whether the so-called evidence in their hands is true or false...... Of course, His Highness didn't admit it, so the rumors came! ”
Yang Guang suddenly realized, and snorted coldly: "These scholars are the most shameless, they are me, and I won't give them!" ”
Yang Yichen took the opportunity to say: "His Royal Highness is very disgusted with the Guanlong magnates and the Dongguan Shi clan, he said that these people have instilled the concept of family first, everything is based on the interests of the family, and the affairs of the country and the world are far inferior to the interests of the family, for the sake of the interests of the family, they will not hesitate to betray the country and the nation!" ”
"And then?" Yang Guang couldn't sit still, Yang Dong was a little speechless, and he talked about the root cause of the Great Sui crisis!
"Then His Highness appoints all reserve officials from the cold door!"
"Huh?"
Yang Guang was also stunned by Yang Tong's generosity, and muttered to himself: "No wonder there are so many negligent attempts to impeach Dong Er, and the punishment is so serious!" It turned out that he moved the fundamental interests of the family gate valve! ”
Yang Yichen smiled, "Weichen was also very shocked at first, but later figured out that His Highness wanted to start from Hebei Province and solve the root cause of the turmoil in the Sui Dynasty step by step. ”
"You mean the Warriors?"
Yang Yichen nodded, "In fact, not only the Guandong Shi clan, but also the Guanlong nobles, for hundreds of years and thousands of years, the Shi clan has monopolized knowledge and power, and nine of the ten officials are from the family gate, these people form a huge number of interest groups with huge influence, and then ask the court and the emperor of all dynasties for money and power, and if the court does not give it, or cannot give it, they will try their best to overthrow this dynasty." ”
"Your Highness said that it is not enough for the imperial court to have the imperial examination system, and it is not enough to completely break the law of the family's monopoly on officialdom! Because the cost of reading is too expensive, the people can't afford to read, if the problem of reading in the poor family is not solved, the imperial examination system will eventually be fulfilled by the children of the family! ”
"Insightful, that's right!"
Yang Guang nodded heavily, and Yang Yichen's words reached his heart, because in every imperial examination, those who achieved good results were the children of the family! This is because their families are superior and can study without distractions, while even if the children of poor families can afford to read, they still have to run for life.
"His Royal Highness believes that only by giving poor children a chance can the monopoly of the Shi clan be finally broken, and his goal is that every child in Hebei Province has the opportunity to study, and after a generation, the advantage of the Shi clan will disappear."
"How did Dong'er do it?"
"Open a school of righteousness!"
"Yixue?"
"In the name of the state, set up two schools in each county under its rule! Free room and board! ”
The more Yang Guang listened, the more surprised he became, and finally he laughed and said, "Okay, what a righteous school!" It's definitely a recipe for cutting through the roots! Compared with the children of the family, the children of the poor family know how to cherish the opportunity and know how to be grateful. This back and forth, the achievements of the children of the poor family who have no worries naturally surpass the children of the family. ”
Yang Yichen presented Yang Dong's recital at this time!
Solo Shu first impassioned and heartbroken scolded the family gate valve Datong, and then attached the content of the new policies such as land reform, the tax system of 'apportionment into the mu', and the content of the new policy, and listed the benefits one by one!
Yang Guang was even more moved, if 'Yixue' is a sharp blade hidden in the shadows, then this 'paving into the mu' is a bright steel knife stabbed at the family's door valve, as long as the 'paving into the mu' matures and is used throughout the country, it is not far from the day when the Great Sui gets rid of the dependence of the gate valve family.
However, Yang Tong also emphasized that he believed that whether the new system is suitable for application needs to be verified with real results, and Hebei Province now does not have the existence of the Dashijia gate valve, and it will not be hindered to use, and if it is successful, it will be promoted to the whole country one by one.
Yang Guang's expression was moved!
The strength of the family gate, he also understands more than anyone else, the capital Luoyang, is to avoid the Guanlong nobles firmly controlled by the Guanzhong, but to this day, little effect, if the country is forcibly promoted in the 'spread into the mu' system, the Great Sui immediately disappeared, so Yang Tong based on Hebei Province, gradually encroaching on the world of the plan won his appreciation.
At the end of the recital, Yang Tong expressed his ambition with a song "Lime Yin".
"Thousands of hammers are carved out of the mountains, and the fire burns as if it were idle. Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world. ”
Yang Guang repeated it several times, only to feel that the momentum was frank and sonorous. Yang Tong's determination to advance in the Ten Thousand Blades Mountain jumped on the paper.
In the past few days, many people have said openly or implicitly that Yang Tong has the intention of rebellion, although he does not believe it, but under the crowd, it is inevitable that there will be wavering. But now, he didn't believe that Yang Dong would rebel at all!
Because Yang Tong took a path that was the enemy of the family gate valve, and ninety percent of the officials of the Great Sui came from the family gate valve, even if Yang Tong was the opposite, no one supported him.
The three systems of righteousness, apportionment into acres, and land reform, plus a lime chant, show Yang Tong's ambition to be the Great Sui version of the martingale!
How did Shang Ying die? The main reason is that he harmed the interests of the Qin Dynasty clan and the old forces of the Qin Dynasty.
For the anger of the Ping clan and the old forces, King Qin Hui had to kill Shang Ying. But afterwards, the law of Shang Yang was still enforced, so that the weak Qin State became the head of the Seven Kingdoms, and finally ruled the world.
And Yang Tong obviously guessed that his result was the same as Shang Ying, but he still firmly embarked on a road of death, and all he wanted was for the Great Sui and the Yang family to continue smoothly.
Thinking about it, Yang Guang's suspicions were gone, and all that was left was infinite distress, love, and trust!
"Dare to be the first in the world, worthy of being my Yang Guang's good grandson! Not only will I not be punished, but I will also be rewarded heavily, and then dare to say that the King of Qin has a person who is against his will, and he will be destroyed! ”
"Edict: Jinhe North Road Xingtai Shangshu Ling, Champion General, Qin King Yang Tong as the Captain, Zhengyipin Champion General, Jizhou Mu, Yao Led the Left and Right Wei Generals! Feng Zhanlu Sword and Seven-Star Longyuan Sword are the two swords of the Son of Heaven, with Zhanlu Town Army, and Seven-Star Longyuan to deter government, giving the right to cut first and then play! Twenty horses of BMWs! ”
