Chapter 381: Good things are said, bad things are done
Su Wei couldn't find the words to refute Liu Wen, and he didn't have the face to stay here anymore, so he could only go away with hatred.
The banquet did not end with his departure.
Yang Zhao asked people to pass wine and cloth dishes, and drank and feasted with Liu Wen and others.
During the banquet, some people discussed from time to time, and most of the focus was what Liu Wen said's words of the ancient sages'.
And those who have an old relationship with Su Wei are worried and in a trance, and they don't know what to do for a while.
After the banquet was over, the topic did not end, but spread throughout Daxing.
After hearing about it, many people have a new understanding of Liu Wen.
And several eight-hundred-mile urgent documents were also sent to Yang Guang's desk, who had just arrived at Luoyang New Palace.
Yang Guang has been paying attention to the performance of the crown prince Yang Zhao recently, although many people say that he has chosen the right prince, and some people even privately discuss that the benevolent Yang Zhao will definitely be better than Yang Guangdang if he is the emperor.
But Yang Guang didn't understand that the person who said these words was nothing more than wanting to change an incompetent person to be the emperor, so that he could secretly develop his own power.
Yang Guang sighed.
Yang Zhao's performance has positive shining points, but overall, it seems too cowardly.
Obviously, he had seen through Su Wei, but in the end, he actually let Liu Wen be in the limelight.
Reading a few sentences on the concerto, Yang Guang couldn't help but smile.
The bit of ink in Liu Wen's stomach, he knows very well that although this kid can always have some whimsical ideas and always burst out some inexplicable language, but if he has such a philosophy, Liu Wen himself can't understand it.
'Su Wei, Su Wei, as soon as I left on my front foot, you went to Daxing to make waves, and I really thought that by relying on my life among the scholars, I would not dare to do anything to you? Good! I'll ruin your reputation first! ’
With this thought, Yang Guang took out a piece of paper and wrote on it, 'With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Take people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses'.
Then he asked the guards to block a standing mirror at the entrance of the temple and paste their own written words on it.
Immediately issued an order, summoning Qiu Rui, the king of Changping, Zhang Heng, the imperial historian, Pei Ju, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, Pei Yun, the waiter of the Minbu, and Yu Shiji, the waiter of the internal history, into the palace.
When the five people came to the front of the hall, Qiu Rui, the king of Changping, who was walking in the front, saw this passage posted on the mirror, and couldn't help but be in awe, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes in the mirror, feeling that he was all right, so he bypassed the mirror and entered the palace gate.
With him taking the lead, Zhang Heng, Pei Ju, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji followed suit, and after entering the main hall, they all paid homage to Yang Guangli.
"How's the mirror outside?" Yang Guang asked suddenly.
Qiu Rui is Liu Wen's uncle-in-law, so naturally there is no shortage of this thing, not only do he have several faces at home, but this time he came to Dongdu, and he also brought a small one, which is used to trim his beard when he is fine.
Therefore, he didn't find anything strange about it.
It was the other four people who couldn't help but praise it.
"Such a treasure mirror, it is really hard to find in the world!"
"Yes! His Majesty's wisdom and insight also made the ministers and others suddenly open. ”
A few people started slapping their ass.
Yang Guang said with a smile: "These mirrors were all presented to me by Song Wangjin. Although he is a little lazy and sometimes very reckless, he is not at a loss, not only is he very filial, but he can also exchange some good things for us elders for a long time. ”
When Qiu Rui heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Liu Wen: This is very good.
Although he also likes to enjoy, he never enjoys it alone, and if there are any good things, he will share them with his relatives and let everyone follow them together.
"But ......"
As soon as Yang Guang said these two words, everyone pricked up their ears and listened.
"Although King Song was able to find such a treasure for me, he could not find the human mirror. More than ten years ago, several mirrors around the first emperor were broken by Su Wei, just like the mirror that he broke when he went to the East Palace for a banquet a few days ago. ”
"Although Yang Su, the king of Yue, was domineering, he still knew that Xu Deyan, the prince of Nanchen, was reunited with his wife, Princess Lechang, but this Su Wei ...... Alas! ”
Yang Guang shook his head: "I saw the wrong person!" I only thought he was very talented, but I forgot to observe his virtue, forgot that the first emperor abandoned him, and naturally there was a reason for the first emperor. ”
After sighing for a while, Yang Guang suddenly shouted, "Zhang Heng." ”
"The minister is here."
"I hope you don't dare to speak up for justice from now on, like those broken mirrors. I also need you, the Imperial Doctor, to always illuminate my gains and losses. ”
"Yes!"
"And you too."
"Your Ministers obey!" Qiu Rui and the other three responded in unison.
Subsequently, Yang Guang told everyone that everyone dared to recommend talents and find a few decent mirrors for themselves.
Qiu Rui was very excited when he heard this.
Secretly praised, the emperor is really more and more like the ancient sage!
But I didn't understand it.
Yang Guang said so much, and the performance was to take the opportunity to step on Su Wei and enhance his prestige.
As for the gains and losses of illuminating him.
Whoever does this is a fool.
In Yang Guang's heart, all he thought about was to expand the territory, to build the Grand Canal, and to create great achievements that other emperors failed to create, and to become an emperor who left a name in history......
With Yang Guang's encouragement, the news of his meeting with Qiu Rui and the five of them quickly spread.
The matter of Su Wei's broken mirror has been compiled into more than a dozen versions and circulated in the community.
This old pedant, who is over sixty years old, has accumulated a good reputation for more than ten years after being dismissed, and because of this, it has been completely ruined.
There are even people who keep mentioning the scandal of his previous framing courtiers.
Because of this thing.
Not only did Liu Wenbo gain a good reputation, but even some scholars in the relevant areas tried their best to meet him through connections, which brought great help to the main task of 'Jingluo Guanzhong'.
Yang Guang also gradually gained a good reputation because of his performance in Luoyang, as if he was about to become a model of a virtuous monarch.
But Yang Guang once again proved with his actions that he is not something that can be guessed by others, and saying and doing are completely different things.
Not long after he moved Qiu Rui and other loyal ministers, he did not listen to any advice, and insisted on going his own way, requisitioning millions of people from the prefectures and counties south of the Yellow River to dig the Tongji Canal. At the same time, the rivers of other counties were dredged to ensure that the canal from Zhuo County to Yuhang could be navigated.
As soon as the will came out, the world was boiling.
In the prefectures and counties south of the Yellow River, Shandong suffered the most.
In the past few years, first the construction of the eastern capital Luoyang, and then the crusade against Goguryeo, many people were recruited from Shandong, and the heavy forced labor for many years has overwhelmed the people.
Because of the requisition of the imperial court, many families can only watch the strong men in their families being arrested, either to repair Luoyang City, or to transport grain and grass to Goguryeo, so that although there are fields, they can't plant them, so they can only kill chickens and eggs and sell them to local Haoqiang in exchange for a little grain to live.
Now that Goguryeo has been defeated, and the new capital of Luoyang is about to be built, it seems that the hard days are coming to an end.
Unexpectedly, Yang Guang ordered to dig the canal again.
For a time, the people's grievances arose, and the entire Great Sui Dynasty had been pushed to the edge of the cliff step by step by Yang Guang, who did not attach importance to the people's livelihood......
