Chapter 213: Borrowing a sword to eliminate the enemy

Yang Guang has been very upset recently, since he was trapped in Yanmen County, there have been more and more officials in various places who have violated the will of the court, and there are many local officials who withhold the court's taxes and grain, raise the army privately, and actually break away from the rule of the Great Sui!

In the imperial study, Yang Guang fell into deep thought, and the recital on the table was what he had just read. This one was just sent by Donglai Sushang.

Since the allied army was corrected by the court, Su Shang would send Yang Guang a recital every half a month, either a narrative, or a greeting, or a suggestion, which made Yang Guang's impression of Su Shang still good!

And the current one is a narrative and a suggestion, but the things suggested in it make Yang Guang a little hesitant.

Su Shang told Yang Guang in the book that Li Yuan in Longxi was preparing to rebel in Taiyuan, and was currently secretly recruiting troops in Taiyuan, and in the eastern capital Luoyang City and Jingzhao Daxing City, there were already many family lords who secretly colluded with Li Yuan. They are ready to respond to Li Yuan after Li Yuan's uprising, and respond to Li Yuan's army to attack the city and plunder the land!

Su Shang also suggested in the recital that Yang Guang should strike first and quickly eradicate these dissident families, so as to prevent them from arranging for clansmen to meet Li Yuan's army in various places after Li Yuan rebelled, and even reminded Yang Guang to be vigilant that these family lords would ambush their private soldiers in Luoyang City and Daxing City, as a reserved internal response for Li Yuan to capture these two capitals in the future.

Yang Guang had a headache, although he thought that Su Shang's worries were a little exaggerated, he did not deny that Su Shang's reminder was timely. After returning from Yanmen Pass, Yang Guang felt that the officials in the capital, as well as the big families, were very abnormal, too quiet, not at all like before, there were often disputes with each other, sometimes fighting, as if they had been integrated together!

Yang Guang also sent secret agents to investigate, but he didn't get any useful information, only knew that in the two capitals, there were many family lords in tandem, as for who was taking the lead, what they were plotting about, these were all not found out, and the secret agents he sent were also missing, the death of death, and finally all disappeared!

For a period of time, Yang Guang has been secretly worried about this matter, but he didn't expect Su Shang to directly reveal the mystery for him, but the seriousness of the news shocked him greatly, and at the same time made him very hesitant!

Su Shang clearly listed in the recital that in the two capitals, there were already big families who had secretly colluded with Li Yuan, among which there were a total of eight influential family gate valves, which accounted for one-third of the influential family gate valves in the two capital cities!

This made Yang Guang very hesitant, he wanted to accept Su Shang's suggestion and ruthlessly eradicate these dissident families, but he was worried that there were too many families involved, and in the end there would be an uncontrollable situation!

"Why is Your Majesty so worried?"

Empress Xiao walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup, and when she saw Yang Guangzheng sitting in front of the table, she frowned and pondered, and couldn't help but ask softly!

Empress Xiao put down the ginseng soup, lifted the lotus step lightly, went around Yang Guang's back, slowly stretched out two white jade-like soft wattles, and gently pressed Yang Guang's temples.

Yang Guang gently grabbed the jade hand, pulled his wife into his arms with a little force, pointed to the notebook on the table, and said with a wry smile: "It's just for it!" Zitong can open it and take a look, and give me some suggestions by the way. ”

Empress Xiao didn't shirk, she directly took the notebook and looked at it, but her face changed in an instant, "Your Majesty, is this true?" ”

"I haven't sent anyone to confirm yet! However, there are many family gates in the city who have been performing very abnormally recently, they are secretly converging in tandem, but the secret agents I sent can't find anything, Su Shang's news, I think it should be true! ”

"Then what is Your Majesty going to do now?"

"I haven't decided yet!"

Yang Guang smiled a little bitterly, "I am a little hesitant now, I have the heart to accept Su Shang's suggestion, but I am worried that there will be an uncontrollable situation!" ”

Empress Xiao thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, Zitong thinks Su Shang's suggestion is very reasonable!" Many of these family lords who colluded with Li Yuan had participated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, His Majesty pardoned them at the beginning, and did not pursue their crimes of rebellion, but now they want to rebel again, it can be seen that they do not have a little gratitude, they have decided to betray Your Majesty! In this case, Your Majesty might as well directly be ruthless and eradicate them at one time, so as to save them any demon moths in the future! ”

"Zitong thinks so too?"

Yang Guang was a little surprised, after Yang Xuangan's rebellion was suppressed, the queen also suggested that he temporarily let go of those families involved, but he didn't expect this suggestion to be so iron-blooded.

Empress Xiao nodded, "Your Majesty, there is a suggestion in this recital that is well written, since these family lords don't know how to be grateful, then Your Majesty will let them feel the fear, as long as this batch is destroyed, the rest will be honest!" ”

"Actually, that's what I think! But I was worried that doing so would cause turmoil in the Praetorian Guard's morale. After all, in the Praetorian Guard, there are still many soldiers who are born in these families! Yang Guang sighed a little.

"Your Majesty can first eradicate this part of the generals, and then reward the remaining soldiers."

"At present, the tax money and grain from all over the country cannot be transported, but there is not much money, grain and cloth left in the treasury!"

Yang Guang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's for this reason that I haven't been able to fulfill the heavy reward I promised in Yanmen County until now!" ”

Empress Xiao was stunned, very surprised, she originally thought that His Majesty was unwilling to fulfill the promise of a generous reward, because His Majesty was reluctant to give up those money, grain, cloth and silk, but she didn't expect it to be the reason why the treasury was empty!

Empress Xiao pondered for a moment and suggested: "Your Majesty can first reward the soldiers with some meritorious positions, and then temporarily transfer a batch of money, grain, cloth and silk from the treasury to reward them, and after these families are eradicated, they will definitely be able to make up for the deficit in the treasury!"

"What does Zitong mean is to completely exterminate these family gates?"

"Not bad!"

Empress Xiao nodded, "Now is a special period, if you don't completely wipe them out, you can't completely eradicate the hidden dangers, and only in this way can you completely deter the remaining family gates." ”

Yang Guangyuan looked out the window, silent, still a little hesitant.

Empress Xiao couldn't help but say in a heavy voice: "Your Majesty, the family gate lords have betrayed the Great Sui one after another, and we need to have a loyal army now." Otherwise, not only will we not be able to defend the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui, but we may not even be able to save our lives! And at this time, if you want to get the loyalty of the soldiers, you must have a lot of money, food, and cloth! ”

Yang Guang blinked his eyes, looked at his wife deeply, and finally made up his mind, "Zitong is right!" We need soldiers, money, food, cloth, and cloth......"
