Wang Junlin turned his head to look at Yu Juluo, he didn't know what role Yu Juluo played in the process of Yang Guang's ascension to the throne, why he had to support Yang Guang.
"Let's not talk about Yang Guang's disintegration of the powerful Sui Dynasty, and finally destroyed in the war and military disasters, your old man's entire family was killed by Yang Guang, okay?" Wang Junlin sighed in his heart.
Yu Juluo didn't expect Wang Junlin to express his liking for the prince so clearly, and didn't like King Jin, he looked at him with some surprise, and his eyes became sharp, but seeing Wang Junlin's calm and sincere gaze, Yu Juluo's eyes became soft again, he felt that it was necessary to give Wang Junlin some things to say, he didn't want to leave Wang Junlin with the impression of a traitor.
"King's Landing, I hope you can understand one thing, it's not that I have to support King Jin, it's just that we don't have any other choice at all, or this is the best choice for us now!"
Yu Juluo stared at the Yellow River outside Jincheng, and said lightly in a slightly vicissitudes of tone: "The reason why the saint must change the prince is because only the eloquence of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, can keep the Great Sui Dynasty, he has been operating the south in Yangzhou for nearly ten years, and has stabilized the south that is constantly resisting and the people are not attached, so that the Great Sui Dynasty is truly unified, his exploits are obvious to all, only he can control the ambitious Guanlong nobles, only he can lead the Great Sui to forge ahead and become strong, and the prince Yang Yong is too weak, He will not be able to quell the chaos caused by the implementation of the Han system in the future, just like the Heyin change in the first year of Wutai, if the Han system is not implemented, the Great Sui Dynasty will be like other dynasties established by the Hu people, unable to maintain long-term stability, and the shoulders of the crown prince Yang Yong are too delicate, and he will only be at the mercy of the gate valve family. β
Sighing, Yu Juluo hesitated slightly, and then continued: "When Your Majesty was the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, with the support of the family of gate lords represented by the Dugu family, he controlled the government of the Northern Zhou Dynasty as a foreign relative, in order to usurp the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, His Majesty first deceived the five kings of the Northern Zhou Dynasty clan, Zhao Wang Zhao, Chen Wangchun, Yue Wang Sheng, Dai Wang Da, and Teng Wang to Chang'an, Yongzhou Mubi Wang Xian and Zhao, Chen and other five kings were killed by His Majesty, and finally with the strong support of the Dugu Gate Valve, Wei Xiaokuan was appointed to defeat Wei Chi Hui and eliminate the political enemies who threatened him. In the end, Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was forced to issue an edict announcing Chan Concession on the grounds that His Majesty was expected to return at that time. His Majesty let three and received the mandate of heaven, since the prime minister's house often entered the palace, the preparation of the emperor is located in the Linguang Palace, the country is named the Great Sui, changed the Yuan to open the emperor, and announced the amnesty of the world. β
"And how similar is the current crown prince Yang Yong to Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, succeeded by him, the scene of His Majesty seizing the world of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is likely to happen again, Dugu and Yuan, these powerful gate valve families, do not have much loyalty to the Yang royal family. Therefore, the crown prince Yang Yong can't afford this heavy burden, for the future and prosperity of the Great Sui, the saint must change the prince, and I Yujuluo was reused by His Majesty at the end of the year, and I will not let His Majesty's legacy be destroyed in the hands of Prince Yang Yong. β
Wang Junlin listened to what Yu Juluo said, and sighed in his heart, it turned out that it was not that Yang Jian and Yu Juluo didn't know that Yang Guang was cruel, but that they didn't have a choice.
When history is divided into time, it is customary to call the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties the Middle Ages. And in the Middle Ages, in addition to countless wars, there was also the famous gate valve system.
The gate valve system was formed in the Eastern Han Dynasty and prevailed in the two Jin and Northern Dynasties. Since Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the world has admired Confucianism, and most of the bureaucrats started with scriptures. They taught their apprentices, and their protΓ©gΓ©s spread all over the world, forming a social force.
Especially after the implementation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the election of officials only depends on the reputation of the family.
The so-called high-grade has no cold door, and the lower grade has no family, which roughly refers to this situation. The clans monopolized the bureaucracy and, through marriages, constituted a ruling class.
Listening to what Yuju said, Wang Junlin remembered the famous Wutai first year of the Heyin Change, when the commander of the Erzhu Department and the soldiers of the Six Towns Er Zhurong used the excuse of sacrificing to the sky, launched a military coup, and killed the Han people in the Sinicized Xianbei aristocracy and the Northern Wei regime, and the Hu people of the Six Towns have since stepped onto the political stage, which is a major watershed in Chinese history, affecting Chinese history for hundreds of years, the rise of the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi Dynasty, the emergence of the Guanlong aristocracy, the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion, the division of feudal towns and even the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, are all a bane here.
It's just that all the information that Wang Junlin knew about Yang Guang in later generations is a representative of brutality and mediocrity, and it was the first time he heard from Yu Juluo's mouth that Yang Guang was actually eloquent, which made him both surprised and a little funny.
However, since ancient times, the king has been defeated. Li Tang seized Yang Sui Jiangshan, so naturally there will be some whitewashing. Emperor Yang of Sui, as the king of the fallen country, will inevitably suffer slander. Then as the opponent of Emperor Yang of Sui, the crown prince Yang Yong will naturally be beautified. Otherwise, how can Li Tang's great achievements be highlighted? What's more, this "Book of Sui" came from the hands of the Tang people......
Therefore, Wang Junlin believes that the history he knows can only be used as a reference, and must not be used as a basis.
Yu Juluo glanced at Wang Junlin, he felt that Wang Junlin was not convinced at first, but thoughtfully, he had some doubts in his heart about what Wang Junlin was thinking, thought for a while, and emphasized: "Junlin, you have to understand one thing, the Great Sui is actually not a Han dynasty, it is still a Xianbei dynasty in its bones, more than ninety percent of the high-ranking officials in the court are Hu people, it is still the Guanzhong standard created by Yuwentai, but it is just an emperor of Han blood, and the contradictions and estrangements between Han and Hu for hundreds of years are difficult to reconcile." β
Yu Juluo sighed slightly, and continued: "The most important thing is that the Holy Lord is not in the right position, so that he cannot completely change, it is more of a compromise, which of the nobles of the Guanlong Gate is not eyeing each other, if there is a chance, who does not want to replace him?" Do you think the Holy One doesn't understand? But who does he dare to kill? Even a Yu Zeqing, he also endured for eighteen years before he got rid of it, the Eight Pillars of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, all above the courtiers, but he didn't dare to move, the saint wanted to move the capital to Luoyang several times, breaking the Guanzhong standard, but he never could do it, now there is His Majesty, these Guanlong nobles still dare not act rashly, if he goes, with the weakness and mediocrity of the prince Yang Yong, he must be a filial piety Emperor and Emperor Wei Gong, of course, Your Majesty is well aware of the potential crisis, the prince Yang Yong's ears are too soft, his mind is not strong, and he does things rashly, I don't understand the importance of sinicization.,Your Majesty is deeply disappointed.,So replacing the king of Jin as the crown prince is an inevitable result.,For the sake of the Great Sui Jiangshan Sheji,Your Majesty can only abolish the eldest son.γ β
Wang Junlin had nothing to say for a long time, but it was not Yujuluo's opinion that persuaded him, this was just the words of Yujuluo's family, and he may not be able to fully believe it, the key is that his understanding of this era only comes from the historical records of later generations, and many things, especially about the emperor, are not credible, so he has no right to speak.
But one thing he can be sure of is that the crown prince Yang Yong was deposed not because of some wild histories, but because Queen Dugu likes Yang Guang, and the abolition of the eldest son of the prince for nearly 20 years is risking the disapproval of the world. Now it seems that although Queen Dugu's authority is second only to Yang Jian, the position of the prince is still by no means a queen's personal preference can be decided.
However, he also carefully found that Yu Juluo actually mentioned Yang Guang's name several times, which was the disrespect of the courtiers to the future emperor, and he should never be, he suddenly realized that maybe Yu Juluo was only loyal to Yang Jian, not loyal to Yang Guang, but he had no choice.
At this time, Yu Juluo gently patted Wang Junlin's shoulder and told him, "Don't tell anyone what the two of us said tonight, understand?" β
"Uncle, don't worry, this matter is very important, King's Landing is very clear!"
"Okay, it's not early, go back early to rest, get up early tomorrow morning, Chen Tingshi and Sima Liu Fang's mansion still have to go to it, and then hurry at noon tomorrow, you don't have to go back to the post house tonight, I will send someone to report to your own soldiers."
"It's all up to my uncle."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
On the morning of the second day, after Wang Junlin visited Chen Sansi, the assassin of Yongzhou, and Sima Liu Fang of Yongzhou, he returned to the governor's mansion to say goodbye to Yujuluo, but was suddenly left by Yujuluo to stay for another day.
"King's Landing, the old man saw you this time, and found that your spirit and spirit are obviously different, but it is different from the martial arts master in the breaking period, but looking at your competition with Zimo last night, your strength is no less than that of the master in the breaking period, and it is more long, but your martial arts tricks are too commonplace, if you are against a real master, you can see the difference between the few moves, and it will be difficult to give full play to the advantage of your long strength."
"In addition, although the quality of your knife is very good, it is a little inappropriate compared to your current strength, after all, when the world's fierce generals and masters are in the breaking period, all of them have amazing strength, and their weapons are very heavy, and you will suffer a loss when facing the enemy. I've got a sword for you here, don't say no. β
As he spoke, Yu Jura took a long knife with an ancient scabbard and a slightly mottled air from the servant behind him.
The blade of this knife is about two feet and six inches long, and together with the handle, it is a total of three feet, and the scabbard is only made of the most ordinary black cowhide, without any decoration on it, and the black handle is tinged with a strange red.
"This knife is called Dragon Bird, and it is said that it was forged by Helian Bobo, the king of Xia in the era of the Sixteen Kingdoms. It was captured by the old man who killed a general in the breaking period on the battlefield, but the old man had a similar physique to Zimo since he was a child, and his strength was infinite, so after breaking through to the breaking period, it took three years to build a horse lance, and since then, this knife has never drunk blood. β
Yu Juluo pressed the stretch spring with his hand, and with a loud sound, he unsheathed the dragon bird knife.
The early sun shone on the edge of the horizontal knife, and there was a touch of demonic blood red.
