The fifth day of the seventh month.

Yang Guang went to Queen Dugu to ask for peace, many palace officials were preparing for the crown prince's canonization, Yang Su instructed someone to secretly offer slander to Yang Jianjin:

"Recently, when Liu Wen went in and out of the military camp and the Jin Palace, he often showed joy on his face."

Yang Jian chuckled in his heart after hearing this, and immediately thought: Liu Wen can fight, Yang Guang has the talent of commander, these two people join forces to control the military power of the capital, and it won't be long before they are hollowed out.

So, taking advantage of Yang Guang's absence, he hurriedly asked people to draw up a will:

Feng Liu Wen was the governor of Weizhou, holding the festival, and concurrently leading Wei, Ji, Hanoi, Changping, Wu'an, Dongjun, Dongping, Wuyang, Jibei Thorn History, and the governor of the Nine Roads Soldiers and Horses, and listened to the dispatch of military and political affairs.

This official is not small, and he is very, very powerful!

From the beginning of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the political regimes of all parties stood side by side, and in order to recruit rebels and enhance their own strength, these regimes did not hesitate to reward the enemy generals who surrendered.

is like Qiu Rui, after being surrendered from Northern Qi by the backer king Yang Lin, he was named the king of Changping.

If it is a little worse, it will be named the state pastor and the history of the assassin.

But during the Han Dynasty, there were only 13 states in the world, and there were not so many states, what should I do?

Then the big state will split the small state, and eventually the county will also become a state...... And this is not enough, and we have to continue to dismantle.

And that's not all. You are an official, I am also an official, everyone compares the treatment, to see who he finally surrenders, so after years of war, the first and second rank officials are almost worthless.

For the convenience of sealing officials, all the states and counties in the world were demolished.

For this reason, after Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian unified the world, he abolished the three-level state and county levels and changed to the state and county system, and the state is the county, as there are a total of 190 states and counties today.

This is also a lot, when Qin Shi Huang implemented the county system, there were only 36 counties in the world.

And because of the so-called hereditary military exploits, the great officials of the Sui Dynasty were everywhere.

Just like Yitong Sansi and Zhuguo, such a first-class and second-class false position, such meritorious children in the capital grasp a lot of them.

What is truly valuable lies not in the level of official position, but in the power in hand.

is like a powerful department like Shangzhuguo and the Twelve Wei Generals, which are prominent officials that many people dare not provoke.

And locally, what kind of official position is powerful, there is also a lot to say.

According to the official system of the Sui Dynasty, the Taishou and the Thorn Shi of each county were two sets of teams.

Taishou is in charge of the people.

The assassin was responsible for supervising the illegal behavior of officials such as Taishou, and could even appoint and dismiss the subordinate officials of some counties.

And the history of thorns is also divided into those who have the right and those who do not.

The history of the bicycle assassin is the commander of the light pole, regardless of the army, only the power to supervise local officials.

According to the system of the Sui Dynasty, there were households with a population of more than 120,000 as upper counties, 120,000 to 50,000 households as middle counties, and less than 50,000 households as lower counties. And the population of more than 200,000 is Shangshang County.

Shangshang County's bicycle assassination history is the fourth grade, although it has a bit of power, but it is the kind that dares to be angry and dare not speak.

A little better than the history of bicycle assassination is the fake festival and the governor, which can not only promote his official position by one level, but also supervise the illegal behavior of the army.

For officials like this, the local government has to provide for them.

There is also a kind of governorship that follows the old system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which is responsible for the military and administrative governors of one or several states and counties, and these governors are also the assassins of the states under their jurisdiction.

If you control several states, your official position is named after the state where the governorship is located.

For example, Liu Wen, now he is in charge of nine states, but the governor's office is located in Weizhou, then he is the governor of Weizhou. And he is the governor of the capital, and holding the festival is equivalent to having the sword of Shang Fang, plus listening to the dispatch of local affairs.

This is equivalent to becoming a prince who holds the power of life and death on one side. And the nine counties he administers are not ordinary.

Four counties of ancient Yanzhou:

There are 14 counties in Wuyang, with a population of 213035 households, which belong to Shangshang County; There are 9 counties in East County, 121905 households, which are Shang County; There are 86,090 households in 6 counties in Dongping and 105,660 households in 9 counties in Jibei, which belong to Zhong County.

Four counties of the former Xiangzhou:

120227 households in 11 counties of Wei County and 133606 households in 10 counties of Hanoi are Shang County; 111721 households in 8 counties of Ji County and 118595 households in 8 counties of Wu'an are middle counties.

There are 54,913 households in 6 counties in Changping, which belongs to the military important land that has just been divided from Luzhou.

There are 1065752 households in these nine places combined, and each household is more than 4.2 million according to four people, and there are old and young people in the family, so it is impossible to have only four people.

Liu Wen, the governor of the nine counties, had become a prince who managed nearly one-tenth of the population of the Great Sui.

And the location of these places is very delicate.

It is located on the periphery of the eastern barrier of Gyeonggi, Taihang Bajing and Yaguan, and is regarded as the second barrier outside of Gyeonggi.

Wei County is also the location of Cao Cao's royal capital, and its strategic value is very important.

Perhaps others will believe that Liu Wen is Yang Guang's stand-in in these places, and Yang Jian is delegating power to Yang Guang, and allowing Liu Wen to deter Luo Yi in Beiping Mansion, Wu Tianxi in Tuoluo Village, the bandits in Taihang Mountain, and Tang Bi in Jinan Mansion. Let Yang Guang stabilize the surrounding form before ascending the throne.

But Yang Guangke doesn't think so.

Compared with Yang Jian, who was busy calculating others and knew nothing about his son's personality, Yang Guang studied his father very thoroughly.

Yang Guang understood that becoming the crown prince was only the beginning of the test, as long as he showed a little eagerness and covetousness for imperial power, his father would beat himself like beating Yang Yong.

Yang Jian's thoughts, Yang Guang understood.

Before Yang Jian's death, no one could touch the power in his hands.

Therefore, when he heard the news from Queen Dugu, Yang Guang hurriedly left the palace and found Liu Wen to tell him repeatedly:

"You remember, this is just a test of our father's loyalty to us. Although you have the power of life and death in the local area, you must not make your own decisions about these major matters. No matter what the big thing is, you have to ask your father for advice. ”

"Of course, you can go to Erxian Village, go to say hello to Shan Xiongxin first, and if there is a place where you need to use soldiers, you can borrow his people and horses from the green forest. Don't forget! This nine-way army, you must not mobilize! ”

"Yes, the son-in-law obeys his father-in-law's teachings."

……

After a few brief words with Liu Wen, Yang Guang was worried about his father's body, so he returned to the palace non-stop, but as soon as he entered Yang Jian's bedroom, he only felt that it was booming, and he almost exploded!

At this moment, Zhang Lihua and Kong Guifei, the two concubines of Chen Shubao, were serving the decoction in front of Yang Jian's couch, and the coquettish attitude was unbearable.

The reason why Yang Guang was angry was not because his father took away the beautiful child he coveted, but because he violated his oath to his mother.

You know, now that Queen Dugu is seriously ill and bedridden, what will happen if she is jealous hears the news?

Yang Guang didn't dare to imagine.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that Yang Jian brought these two people from the court to test and beat himself to see if he was obedient.

Therefore, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and only showed a trace of dissatisfaction with the two demon concubines, but he still replied to Yang Jian meticulously.

"Okay, yes, you go down first."

"Yes."

Yang Guang respectfully withdrew from the hall.

That night, he secretly recruited the divine doctor An Daoquan into the Jin Palace: "What can you do to make a person bedridden all the time?" ”

"This ......" An Daoquan stroked his beard, counted with his fingers, and said: "Your Highness, there are a total of 9 prescriptions, although they will not be noticed, but the prescriptions are slightly toxic. ”

"Alright, you just have to prepare."

"Yes."

After An Daoquan left, the expression on Yang Guang's face became extremely hideous: Without the help of my mother, if it wasn't for the power of the Dugu family, you would be a fart! Now that my mother's descendants are old and decrepit, and the Guanlong Group has become an obstacle for you, are you ready to replace the old with the new?!
