The other generals didn't care, most of them knew that Yu Wenming was Yu Wenshu's grandson, but Yu Wenshi was a little worried.

When his son Yuwen Cheng ordered the whole army to go to the Black Dragon Valley to rescue the grain and grass baggage team in Yuwen Chengdu, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the Goryeo who were five times the size of his own army, so he pretended to be sick and did not go.

As a result, who knew that the people had won a big battle, and all the children who went were for the sake of the team, and even Yu Wenjie, who had been following Yuwencheng as a follower, was promoted. But his precious son, known as the most outstanding talent among the sons and daughters of the Yuwen family, has not achieved an inch of success until now, and he is still a gang leader, and has become the bottom of the ten children of the Yuwen family.

And before he left, he also heard the news from his mother: his father intended to change the clan rules and abolish the provisions that the head of the family could only produce in the son-in-law. If this happens, then Yu Wencheng is very likely to be suppressed by Yu Wenming. How can this not make him worry about Zhongzhong!

After taking a deep look at Yu Wenming, Yu Wenshi and Fang left with a disappointed face. One of his eldest brother's illegitimate sons has become a school captain, and his son is really too far apart.

"Grandpa, I don't know what to teach my grandson?" Yu Wenming bowed and saluted.

"Ming'er, you have seen the situation today, grandpa is also powerless. I guess you don't know that when the battle plan was discussed in the Great Tent of the Holy Lord, Li Jie angered His Majesty by asking for the cancellation of the surrender envoy, and was dragged out and beheaded. Yu Wenshu let out a long sigh and said such shocking news.

"Ahh After Yu Wenming heard this, he was also shocked and angry. He knew that Li Jie was the son of Li Hun, the head of Li Valve's family, and although he was not a famous general in the Sui army, his performance was remarkable, at least not a mediocre general. Moreover, he loved his subordinates, had a wide range of contacts, and was very popular in the Sui army. Such a military general was beheaded by Yang Guang for giving advice, which is considered an emperor, but it also seems too tyrannical and tyrannical.

"Before attacking the city, you will behead your own generals first, is the saint really so confused?" Yu Wenming frowned, and said unwillingly: "And that envoy, I don't know which bastard proposed it." The Holy Lord also personally presided over the war of destroying Chen, Tuguhun, and attacking the Turks, could he not even see such a faint move? ”

After Yuwenshu heard this, he shook his head and sighed: "Ming'er, it seems that you are still too young to know your intentions...... Do you think the Holy One is really that stupid? To fight Goryeo, it was necessary to dispatch troops from all over the country, and it didn't take so many people to destroy Chen...... I used to think it was a great joy for the saints. But until today, I saw that the Holy Lord actually used the trick of surrendering. I've finally understood the Holy Being's intentions......"

"Grandpa saw it?" Yu Wenming was suddenly surprised and delighted, and he also felt that this was a mystery for the ages. Even later historians are puzzled by what Yang Guang did when he went on an expedition to Goryeo. Because it was this incident that made Yang Guang suddenly change from the previous Saint Ming Monarch to a mediocre tyrant. Even some scholars of Sui history treat the first seven years of Yang Guang's reign separately from the last seven years. thinks that the front and back are like two people.

"Hmmm! Grandpa can see it and tell you why. But you have to be careful, you can only understand this for yourself, and don't spread it! Not even your other brothers! These hairy boys, their mouths are not tight, if it spreads, my Yuwen family will face the disaster of being beheaded. Now only your father and your third uncle know, and I haven't told your second uncle! Yu Wenshu said solemnly.

Yu Wenming was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: the second uncle Yu Wenshi and Yang Guang's son-in-law, although he was also Yu Wenshu's son, but his grandfather naturally didn't dare to tell him these words. If he makes a mistake one day, or says a dream and lets Princess Nanyang hear it, the Yuwen family will definitely be in trouble.

This time, Yu Wenshu did not summon other third-generation juniors, and only told him that he was satisfied with his performance in the war and thought that he could take on great responsibilities. There are also preparations to focus on cultivating him, and it is even possible to make him the heir of the next head of the family.

Of course, the later inference was also understood by Yu Wenming later.

Seeing that Yu Wenming sat up straight, revealing a listening look, Yuwen Shufang said with satisfaction: "Ming'er, you can listen well......

After that, he told the reasons for the rise of the Guanlong aristocracy and the consideration of inferring Yang Guang's current situation. The more Yu Wenming listened, the more shocked he became, because these were all historical materials that he had not learned before.

It turned out that Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian relied on the support of the Guanlong nobles to seize the rivers and mountains of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he gave the Guanlong nobles a lot of power, and at the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui, both the court and the army were almost controlled by the major families in the Guanlong nobles, and they both fought with each other and also married, forming a complex and huge interest group.

Of course, Yang Jian later wanted to limit it. In the sixth year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian abolished the family soldier system since the Northern Wei Dynasty, and ordered tens of thousands of soldiers from all gate valves to change back to their original surnames, and were not allowed to follow the family master's surname, so the family soldier system gradually disappeared, and the gate valve nobles lost those private soldiers who only knew that there was a family owner and did not know that there was an emperor.

However, these old habits are difficult to eradicate for a while. Soon after, there was a boom in the Guanlong aristocracy to admit fakes, and the heads and main members of the various gate valves, seeing the children of the poor family, all those who were strong in martial arts or outstanding in literature, tried every means to threaten and lure them to recognize them as fakes. Hundreds or thousands. On the surface, it is his righteous son, but because these righteous sons have to follow their father's surname and obey their father's orders, in fact, it has become a deformation of the former family military system.

Fortunately, there were not many of these fakes, and the Guanlongmen valve did not dare to arm these fakes with weapons and armor like the family soldiers, so Yang Jian turned a blind eye and ignored this matter. But his indulgence had another consequence: that is, these young fakes slowly grew up over time.

Many of the fake sons were not later adopted by the nobles of the gate lords in the palace, but were conscripted into the army as the Sui army fought everywhere, and then became officers because of merit, and then controlled the military power, which caused serious consequences.

These false sons, coupled with the children of the original Guanlong nobles, they have now become a huge force in the army, almost dominating the army where they are located, and firmly controlling the military power. In this way, the foundation of the Guanlong nobles is more stable, it is difficult to move them, and it is very easy to provoke chaos, even Yang Jian, who is so eloquent, can not help it.

Hearing this, Yu Wenming Fang understood that the Yuwen family and other Guanlongmen had already become a thorn in the emperor's side. In the eyes of Yang Jian and Yang Guang's father and son, Guan Longmen is like a tiger lying beside him, and he doesn't know when he will attack his master.

"Actually, from the fact that the saint has continuously let Pei Ju and Pei Yun enter the cabinet as ministers, it can be seen that he is going to support the Shandong Shi clan to fight against our Guanlongmen valve! After all, among the seven Xiang Kingdoms, there are two people from the same family, not to mention the Great Sui, that is, the previous dynasty and the Western Wei period, which has never happened! Yu Wenshu sighed.

The prime minister he said was naturally not the prime minister, but the fact that after the Sui Dynasty implemented the system of three provinces and six ministries, the court habitually called the seven people of Shangshuling, the military department, the officials, the rites, the industry, the household, and the criminal department as Xiangguo.

Shang Shuling, on the other hand, is the right minister, the head of all ministers, and deals with the general administrative affairs of the imperial court. The Emperor, on the other hand, deals with important matters. This system was well implemented when Yang Jian was emperor. But since Yang Guang ascended the throne, it has been nothing but nothing, Yang Guang is a workaholic, almost any big or small affairs, he wants to meddle. Let the Sangkooks look more like his advisers than cabinet members.

Then, Yu Wenshu talked about the Shandong Shi clan again, which made Yu Wenming can't help but prick up his ears, and he was very impressed by Pei Ju when he was in the poetry competition.

According to Yuwenshu, compared with the Guanlong aristocracy's dominance and prosperity in the Sui Dynasty, the power of the Shandong scholars in the central court was very weak. There are several reasons for this:

The first is the Heyin Incident that occurred in the first year of Wutai in the Northern Wei Dynasty (528 AD), when Er Zhurong slaughtered the Shandong scholars in the Northern Wei Dynasty, causing all the famous families of the Shandong scholars to suffer heavy losses and failed to recover for decades.

Second, the current imperial court despises Confucianism, and also abolish the nine-grade Zhongzheng system that has been implemented since the Han Dynasty and change to the imperial examination system.

Although the main purpose of this measure was to suppress the Guanlongmen valve, the result was to shake the foundation of the Shandong Shi clan. Because the children of the Guanlongmen valve can't pass the official examination, they can also enlist in the army as a soldier, take the road of the army, and be a mixed officer and general.

However, almost all of the Shandong scholars learned Confucianism, except for a few big families like the Pei family who were famous in the army, the other children of the Shandong scholars could only be civil officials and could not take the road of the army. As a result, they are generally disgruntled, and most of them focus on educating their children rather than politics.

However, the most critical reason is that the Sui Dynasty was a continuation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which was established by the Guanlong forces of Yu Wentai, a powerful minister of the Western Wei Dynasty. The Shandong Shi clan mainly served in the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was founded by Gao Huan, a powerful minister of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Yang Jian was able to monopolize power and depose the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which won the support of the Guanlong nobles. Therefore, more than ninety percent of the officials in the central court came from the Guanlong forces, especially the army, which was almost controlled by the Guanlong forces.

Due to the distrust of Emperor Yang Jian and the exclusion of the Guanlong aristocracy, the Shandong scholars almost had no place in the imperial court, and could only serve as officials in some local government offices.

Although after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he vigorously supported the Shandong Shi clan against the Guanlong aristocracy, and did not hesitate to let two members of the Wenxi Pei clan appear in the cabinet, but after all, Yang Guang had only been on the throne for a few years, and the power of the Shandong Shi clan in the court was still very weak, like the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Fanyang Lu clan, and the Boling Cui clan, basically no one served as a senior official in the imperial court.

When Yu Wenshu said this, Yu Wenming stood up, his eyes lit up, and he finally understood. Why did Yang Guang do such a "stupid thing" that everyone felt unreasonable.
