Time is like flowing water and never returns, in the blink of an eye it will be the thirtieth month of the lunar month, the sky is fluttering with snow, every family is happy to welcome the beginning of the year, after the child, the new year is about to turn the page.

In this year, the situation in the world has undergone extremely great changes, and the many forces entrenched in the south, such as Du Fuwei, Lin Shihong, Chen Shen, Shen Faxing, and Li Zitong, have all been wiped out, and all the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have been planted with the Red Eagle battle flag of the Sui army.

Xue Ju in Guanzhong defeated the Tang army in the shallow water plain, and his strength skyrocketed, but because of the arrival of winter, the weather was cold, the horses were frozen, the armor was bone-ty, and the horn bow was difficult to control, so he reluctantly made a truce with the Tang Dynasty, allowing the Tang Dynasty to redeem the captured Liu Hongji and other generals.

Liu Wuzhou, who was in Bingzhou, was overjoyed after learning that the general Zhao Kuangyin had taken Taiyuan, and immediately led the army to Taiyuan, but was mysteriously assassinated on the way and died. Because Liu Wuzhou had no heirs, under the persuasion of Zhao Kuangyin's adviser Zhao Pu, Song Jingang, Wei Chigong, Xun Xiang and other old generals of Liu Wuzhou were persuaded to elect Zhao Kuangyin as the new lord.

After Zhao Kuangyin ascended to the throne, he changed the situation that the city was full of soldiers and military discipline was chaotic during the Liu Wuzhou period, cut more than 100,000 troops, and placed them in the areas of Mayi County and Yanmen County to work as farmers. Strict military discipline and pacification of the people's livelihood gradually restored the devastation of the north under the rule of Liu Wuzhou.

As for Li Mi in the Central Plains, he began to go downhill since the attack on Luoyang was repelled by Wang Shichong, the military prestige of the Wagang army is no longer what it used to be, morale is low, and many Wagang generals are extremely pessimistic about the future of Wagang.

Following the death of Zhai Rang, Xu Shiji, Luo Shixin, Wang Junke and others left angrily, there was once again a large outflow of talents in the Wagang army, and a large number of talents with great strategic vision such as Wei Zheng and Zhang Liang all saw that Li Mi could no longer win the world, and they did not say goodbye.

The situation in the Central Plains was quickly presented to Yang Gao, and at the same time, Wang Shichong's secret envoy Wang Ren also rushed to Jiangdu City. Wang Renze's arrival made all the ministers of Jiangdu overjoyed, whether it was Yu Yunwen, Fang Xuanling and other young Zhuang factions or Pei Ju, Su Wei and other old ministers thought that this would be an excellent moment to enter the Central Plains and return the capital to Luoyang.

However, Yang Gao is a traverser, he knows very well that Wang Shichong will never be resigned, but now Wang Shichong is also his only ally in the Sui Dynasty, not to mention that if Wang Shichong sends troops from Luoyang, the difficulty of exterminating Li Mi can be greatly reduced. Therefore, in order to show his sincerity to Wang Shichong, Yang Gao invited the Manchu Dynasty to welcome Wang Renze in the Jiangdu Palace on the day Wang Renze arrived in Jiangdu.

Because in recent years, the army of the Great Sui has won successive battles, and now it will soon be able to recover the eastern capital Luoyang, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have been overjoyed, and from time to time they toast Yang Gao and praise Yang Gao's Wencheng Wuzhi.

Yang Gao was also praised a little, and he had drunk nearly twenty cups unconsciously.

After the banquet was dispersed, the wine rushed up, and the gangsters felt lightheadedness for a while, and were helped back to the dormitory by Zhan Zhao and a few guards, and immediately lay down on the dragon bed and fell asleep.

Yang Gao lay on the bed for a long time, and he didn't know what time it was, but in a trance, it seemed that the door of the dormitory was quietly opened, and a gust of fragrant wind blew in, burrowing into Yang Gao's nostrils, stimulating Yang Gao's mouth to dry his mouth.

Before long, Yang Gao felt a figure climb onto his dragon bed, and took off his clothes between the ropes, and soon felt a warm and moist place wrapping himself, and a burst of fragrance brushed his cheeks.

Then, Yang Gao lost himself, followed the drive of his body, and fell asleep with the pleasant and pleasant girls around him from time to time.

。。。。。。。。。。

The next day, it was just dawning. Yang Gao woke up from his sleep. Before he opened his eyes, he felt a warm body in his arms, and he was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly opened his eyes to take a look, and found that it was none other than Xiao Yuexian, who had not seen him for almost a year.

"Hmmm......"

may have sensed that Yang Gao had woken up, and Xiao Yuexian also opened his eyes dimly. For a moment, the four eyes were facing each other.

"Yuexian, how are you..."

Before Yang Gao finished speaking, Xiao Yuexian suddenly squeezed into Yang Gao's arms, and said with a tangled face: "I hope that Your Majesty will help the concubine's father for the sake of the concubine who is already His Majesty's woman!" ”

"Your father?"

Yang Gao was stunned for a moment, and said confusedly: "What's wrong with your father?" After I ascended the throne, I canonized him as the Duke of Liang Guo, although there is no freedom, but I still have no worries about food and clothing! ”

Xiao Yuexian shook her head helplessly, "Your Majesty doesn't know, the concubine's father has rebelled before after all, and some powerful families in Jiangdu City took the opportunity to bully their father, verbally abused, and occupied land cheaply, and my father's life was not easy." ”

"What do you say? Cheap land occupation? Yang Gao was slightly stunned and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yuexian nodded inexplicably, "My father came to the palace two days ago to ask for help from the concubine, saying that he still had many of Xiao Liang's former ministers who were bullied by the powerful people in Jiangdu City, because they had betrayed the Great Sui before, so most of them dared to be angry after the land was seized!" ”

"Bastard!"

The more Yang Gao listened, the more gloomy his face became, and he turned over directly and shouted outside: "Spread the decree, order Qingtian to make Zhang Juzheng, and Shangshu to order Yu Yunwen to enter the palace immediately to see me!" ”

Xiao Yuexian was taken aback by Yang Gao's gesture, and hurriedly got up, her face pale, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, in fact, if you can save your father's life, the concubine will be very grateful!" ”

Yang Gao picked up Xiao Yuexian, and said: "I don't blame you, on the contrary, you have made a great contribution to me, you have a good rest, I am going to deal with state affairs!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。

Half an hour later, Yang Gao, who was neatly dressed, met Zhang Juzheng and Yu Yunwen in the imperial study, and talked about the past with a gloomy face.

After listening to Yang Gao's account, Zhang Juzheng and Yu Yunwen both fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Yu Yunwen sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is a little troublesome." According to what His Majesty said, the land that these magnates secretly occupied were all Xiao Liang's courtiers who had followed Xiao Miao, and they had rebelled once, although they saved their lives, but deep down they were still very afraid that we would settle accounts after the autumn, so in the face of the bullying of the magnates, they would choose to swallow their anger and calm down, and they would never push themselves to the forefront again. ”

Zhang Juzheng echoed: "What Lord Yu said is that although Xiao Mo is rebellious, he is the nephew of the Queen Mother after all, and even he has been forcibly occupied by the powerful, let alone other subordinates, but Wei Chen has not received any reports about this matter so far!" ”

Yang Gao snorted angrily, "These people are also smart, and they know that if they forcibly occupy the people's land, it is easy to cause the people to complain, and they will be discovered by me." So the target was put on those subordinates, most of whom were afraid of the Great Sui, and it was better to have more than one thing. It really made them a lot of money. ”

Zhang Juzheng bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, this wind must not be long-lasting, the matter of Qingtian has just started, and any land annexation must not be allowed." Otherwise, Qingtian's work will be wasted. ”

Yu Yunwen also echoed in a deep voice: "And if this matter spreads, who else will dare to surrender to my Great Sui in the future." ”

Yang Gao clenched his fists angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "This group of moths, right now is the time when the Great Sui is in danger, they don't think about serving the country, and they are still digging out their hearts to shake the foundation of my Great Sui, it is really a pity to die." ”

Yang Gao's anger was not unreasonable, and land annexation was a rather serious matter for the rulers. The magnates forcibly seized a large amount of peasant land, and the peasants had no land to cultivate, so they lost their source of livelihood, and in the end they had to embark on the road of rebellion in order to survive.

Although the magnates occupy a large number of fields, but they pay little tax and grain to the court, the Tang Dynasty is because of the acquiescence of the magnates to occupy the land, so that there was a situation in the Tang Dezong period when the emperor was out of grain for more than ten days.

"It seems that in the two years since I ascended the throne, I have been so merciful to these guys that they dare to disobey my will!"

Yang Gao slowly stood up and said murderously: "Zhang Juzheng, Yu Yunwen, I will give you five days, and within five days, I will find out all the people suspected of this matter." No matter who you find, no matter what his identity is, you will find out to the end! ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Zhang Juzheng and Yu Yunwen both felt the strong murderous aura emanating from Yang Gao's body, and they couldn't help but tremble, and their hearts were beating in shock.

As the saying goes, when the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed. Both Zhang Juzheng and Yu Yunwen realized that there would soon be a bloody storm in Jiangdu City.

。。。。。。。。。。

"Whew!"

Out of the imperial study, Zhang Juzheng and Yu Yunwen both breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of wry smiles.

"I can't imagine that Your Majesty is so young, and his martial arts are so strong!"

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and recalled with palpitations.

After all, Yu Yunwen had been in the army for a few years, and his reaction at this moment was much calmer than Zhang Juzheng's, "Your Majesty once studied martial arts with Xue Rengui back then, and General Xue Rengui is one of the best generals in my Great Sui, so it is not surprising that Your Majesty can have such martial arts." Lord Zhang, you and I should think about how to do what Your Majesty has entrusted to us! ”

Zhang Juzheng nodded, "Your Majesty only gave us five days, the time is very tight, I don't know what Lord Yu thinks?" ”

Yu Yunwen smiled slightly, "In my opinion, there is a good chance that a subordinate like Xiao Mo will be monitored, so let's start from here to see if anyone has visited Xiao Mo recently." ”
