Chapter 505: The Imperial Court Gives Marriage

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty met the next day, and began to reward hundreds of officials, for those generals of King Qin, all over the country, Eagle Yang Lang generals, etc., all added officials into the knighthood, the last time cloth and jewelry, expanded the domain, increased the number of Lu, one to show his gratitude to these Qin Wang generals, and secondly, it was also because the world was in turmoil, the rebels were everywhere, and the people were impetuous, and they wanted to stabilize the minds of the officials and generals of the court by making a big reward.

Luo Cheng, who has the greatest credit, was canonized as the Duke of Youguo, with a duke, and was given the Zhuguo, into the post of prime minister, and the left and right servants of the court, the position of the governor of the three provinces is equivalent, and above the power of the six Shangshu, at such an age, he can be described as a popular man in front of the palace, a man of high power, and a minister of the humerus.

Up and down the court, whether it is the nobles of the gate, or the family of the ministers, the princes and nobles, and the great Confucians, they all looked at Luo Zhaoyun's eyes a little hot, but there was less jealousy, more praise, admiration, and appreciation.

In this siege of Yanmen, Luo Zhaoyun's three strategies to break the enemy have spread, and the Wenchen generals who were rescued in the court are more or less grateful to him for his act of King Qin, otherwise, once Cheng is broken, they will all be buried together.

Even if Yu Shiji, Pei Yun, Feng Deyi and other traitorous ministers did not refute this time, if they stood up to oppose it, they not only offended Luo Cheng, who had military power, but also gave people a kind of gratitude for revenge, they glanced at Yu Wenshu, thinking that this old man had a grudge against the Luo family, and he should oppose it.

But after Yu Wenshu talked to Luo Zhaoyun privately that day, he no longer targeted the Luo family, this is to avoid the edge, the situation in the world, he has understood through the gate valve forces, rebels are everywhere, Hebei, Henan, Qilu and other Central Plains regions, villages and towns have fled a lot, in addition to the granary and some official grain, the treasury has been unable to make ends meet.

The wealth of the imperial court, the treasury is full, not just a few granaries can be, now the people because of famine, military service and other large-scale flights, the grass is falling, local taxes are difficult to collect, although there are many gate valves but not within the scope of taxes, these nobles have a lot of property in their homes, fields, slaves, money, gold, etc., but will not be taken out for the imperial court, so, the prosperous pattern of the Great Sui has been broken, it can be described as a thousand holes.

Yuwen Shu knew that he did not have the arrogance of the past, and he did not want to offend the Luo family to death, after all, his three sons would continue to be officials in the court, and with the talents of the three people, they were not as good as Luo Cheng as one, so it was unwise to continue to be the enemy, so he would rather give all the shops in the ten counties north of the Yellow River to the Luo family, in exchange for the other party not to calculate grievances with the Yuwen family.

Of course, this is his old fox Mingzhe's plan to protect himself, once there is a matter of putting the other party to death, he will definitely secretly contribute, if he is not sure, he will not impeach and oppose again.

Next, Yang Guang asked about some major events in Luoyang and the world this year, and asked Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who stayed behind, to report.

Fan Zigai stood up and blew out the figures of grain and money for this year's autumn harvest and taxes, which were actually one-third less than before, and the grain was only 5 million stones, and the baht was only 3 million yuan, which was getting less and less.

In the past ten years, the canals, the construction of cities, the construction of roads, the repair of the Great Wall, and the destruction of Liaodong have squandered too much of the treasury, and the accumulation of the first 20 years of the emperor will be corrupted by Emperor Yang of Sui.

After Yang Guang listened, his face became worse and worse, and the treasury became empty, so what would he do to appease the army and maintain the operation of the country in the future?

He swept his gaze to the nobles of the imperial court, which was a huge group, including the largest Guanlong nobles, as well as the nobles of Hedong, Runan, Jiangzuo, Luzhong, Luoyang and other places, and their families had gold and money reserves, as well as a large number of fiefs, which cut off the taxes of the imperial court in many aspects.

Most of the nobles are in business, because of the relationship of power, do not pay taxes, the tenant farmers in the fiefdom, rent and so on are paid to the nobles, the source of taxes in the imperial court is mainly ordinary people everywhere, although the Sui Dynasty once emphasized the light and thin endowment, but often superficial, secretly increase the terms of the extremely heavy, making it difficult for the people to resist, ten villages and nine empty, the county guards around the country are also anxious, but also to suppress the rebels, the tax can not be collected much at all.

Yang Guang has always wanted to crack down on these gate valve aristocrats, let them spit out those property, and rush into the treasury, but unfortunately the effect is not great, originally with the help of the suppression of Fanbang, to add the aura of the Holy Khan to himself, and then after returning to the dynasty, he implemented a series of reforms, continued to suppress the gate valve, deducted property and land, and in terms of political decision-making, he could also gather his own centralized power.

launched a foreign war, Yang Guang actually had the idea of concentrating all kinds of power in his hands, but the first battle of Liaodong smashed it, which made him anxious and gambled almost everything.

Yanmen was trapped, and the ambition of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was worn out a lot, at this moment, even he couldn't figure out his own thoughts, should he get by, break the jar and break it, or should he be angry and strong, and reverse the trend of decline? Yang Guang himself was at a loss.

"I want to announce a great joy." Yang Guang didn't plan to think about these bad things, but to dilute his sorrows with happy events.

The ministers hugged Chaobei and looked up at Yang Guang, not knowing where the joy came from.

"My beloved daughter, Princess Ruyi, is of excellent character, virtuous and virtuous, earlier than General Luo Cheng's affection, two years ago I have agreed to the marriage of the two, but I have not had time to marry late, today, I want to announce the marriage, on the fifteenth of this month, the big wedding will be held, the whole city celebrates." Yang Guang said with a smile.

The ministers suddenly realized and congratulated Luo Cheng, who also raised his hand to thank him.

The ministers of the Chinese and martial arts of the court, many of them had a good impression of Luo Cheng, Su Wei, Fan Zigai, Chen Qi and others were all happy, giving him enough face.

After the court meeting, Wang Shichong cordially grabbed Luo Zhaoyun's matter and said: "General Luo, you and I will definitely have a few drinks as soon as we see each other." ”

Luo Zhaoyun didn't want to tear his face with him for the time being, and said with a smile: "Please Wang Junshou pick a time, let's get together one day and have a drink and chat." ”

In fact, Luo Zhaoyun also wanted to have an understanding of this Wang Shichong in his heart, knowing himself and his opponent, and once the hostility became hostile in the future, he could also know this person's character and humanity and formulate countermeasures.

"It's too boring to go to the mansion to gather, it's better to go to the flower building to eat and drink, I will charter the most luxurious restaurant in Luoyang City, how about inviting General Luo to enjoy his face and go to the banquet?" Wang Shichong's face was full of smiles, as if Luo Cheng was his own brother he hadn't seen for many years.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, agreed, he can eat anywhere, he is not worried that the other party will harm himself now, and the two have no conflict of interest for the time being.

"Then it's settled." Wang Shichong left with a smile, and some officials along the way were indifferent, as if they didn't treat this official who boasted of the mixed blood of Hu and Han.
