Hearing this, Wen Yidao was taken aback by such a big power, and whispered: "Supreme, this power is too great!" ”

Yang Guang thought about it carefully, and indeed, this arrester also scored grades and situations, so he said: "Officials below the third grade, except for the chief general who is fighting, Jinyiwei does not need to report to me, and can be arrested directly!" However, if there is conclusive evidence that the military generals who hold real power have committed treason, no matter how high their rank, they can be directly arrested, regardless of life or death! ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was equivalent to making a decision, and even the two brothers Yuwenxie and Yuwenhui were too shocked!

That is to say, for the Yuwen Association of the general of the official residence left prison gate, Jin Yiwei still has to report to Yang Guang to be arrested, but there is no need to be polite to Yu Wenhui, who is only the official residence of Qianniu Wei Zhonglang General, even if you are sleeping at this time, Jin Yiwei said that he would be arrested, and he would directly lock people from the warm quilt to the gloomy edict!

And the above is just the usual situation, if Jinyiwei has conclusive evidence that a certain general is about to commit treason, then he can even take people without asking Yang Guang for instructions, and it doesn't matter if he lives or dies! If you're unlucky, you'll be slaughtered on the spot!

After all, Wen Yidao is old and sophisticated, after a little thought, he accurately guessed the true thoughts in Yang Guang's heart, he knew that Yang Guang opened the Jinyi Guard to balance the court officials and the family, and let himself be the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

However, Wen Yidao didn't care. Since ancient times, how many heroes and heroes have not met or have a bad fate, they are pickled in their bodies, they are also old, half of their bodies have entered the loess, and they can do something for Yang Guang in their lifetime, Wen Yidao is very willing.

People, always have to live a worthwhile life!

Wen Yidao hooked his mouth and said, "Supreme, the manpower problem of Jinyiwei... ”

Yang Guang pinched his chin lightly, thought for a moment, and said, "In this way, first select reliable sons of the family from the Su Wei into the Jinyi Guard, most of their families have their own intelligence sources, and they are very familiar with this set of operations." The hundreds of envoys in the palace will also be all under your command and act as the law enforcement department of the Jinyi Guard, so that you can quickly set up a team. ”

"Then, I will ask Pei Ju, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to teach some experience, this old guy is a columnist, and he is very good at playing intelligence. Finally, I will ask Zheng Shanguo, the secretary of Dali Temple, to teach you some common sense and methods of criminal procedure. In short, you don't have to worry about manpower and funding, I will give you enough support in the future."

Hearing this, Wen Yidao made up his mind and said respectfully: "No! The grace of heaven is vast, and the old slave will do everything he can to repay the Supreme! ”

Seeing this, the two brothers Yuwen Xie and Yu Wenyi also hugged their fists at Wen Yidao and said: "Director Wen is also the commander of Jinyiwei, which is really gratifying!" In the future, my brothers and I hope that Commander Wen will take more care of him! ”

Wen Yidao smiled modestly and saluted back: "Where, where!" It's all for the Supreme, and the division of labor is different! ”

After finalizing the matter of Jinyiwei, Yang Guang felt like he had taken a reassuring pill. In the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, if you don't add some life charms to yourself, you feel that you won't be able to survive the day!

The end of the Sui Dynasty has its own specific history, and during this period, the influence of the family on the current situation is unusually high, which is the so-called "family world". ”

The family refers to the noble family and the family that has been an official for generations, and the big family with a big surname that has been followed from generation to generation.

The formation of this family can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, which flourished in the Western Han Dynasty, and the Eastern Han Dynasty transitioned into a gate valve Haoqiang.

In the Jin Dynasty, the so-called "King and Horse share the world" and "Wang Xie" refer to the glory and power of the top family, and in the Western Wei Dynasty, the Guanlong family of the Eight Pillars of the Kingdom arose, which together with the Shandong clan supported the lifeblood and foundation of the imperial court. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the saying of "five surnames and seven hopes" pushed the prestige of the family to the peak.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin once criticized the characteristics of the Boling Cui clan not intermarrying with other dick families because he was not accustomed to the characteristics of the "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes", and ordered to deprive these top families of their so-called privileges.

Most of these families have been officials for generations and served the imperial court, such as the Sui Dynasty's Suwei system. When the sons of the family become adults, they will enter the palace to serve as a guard, and when the period of the guard expires, they will be assigned to the local assassin history, county guard, and county order according to their ability, the size of the family, and the merits of their father, which is equivalent to a special treatment that distinguishes the sons of the family from ordinary people.

Generally, those who do not have the opportunity to enter the palace as a guard will go to the mansions of generals, princes, and prime ministers to serve as staff and staff officers, so as to seek a way to get into their lives. Gao Gong, the famous minister of the Sui Dynasty, was Dugu Xin's staff in his early years, and after being appreciated by Yang Jian, he began to make a splash.

In fact, if these families only have these privileges, it will not hurt, the key is that each family has its own information channels and intelligence networks, such as the Guan Long family, a typical family that fights on the horse, and the son of the family who rules the world is even more powerful. Moreover, the big families are in the same spirit, they are all intermarried with each other, and the connection and bond between the family are very deep, and they affect the whole body.

For example, Li Yuan was born in the Longyou Li family of the five surnames and seven hopes, and after the veritable "flying general" Li Guang, he was the grandson of Li Hu of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Therefore, the world was in turmoil, and after Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, the heroes corresponded. After entering Guanzhong, the Guanlong family defected to the Li Tang regime, and Li Yuan easily controlled Guanzhong and became the leader of the Guanlong family.

Therefore, one of the purposes of Yang Guang's establishment of Jinyiwei was also to check and balance the power of the family and its power, so as to consolidate the imperial power.

Yang Guang's brocade guard is roughly the same as Zhu Ming in history, he lives in the palace, and it is inevitable that he can't grasp the truth about the courtiers and various places, this brocade guard is his own arms and eyes, with this institution, the stability of the imperial power will be greatly improved.

The Jinyi guard is the sword held in the hands of the emperor, and its sharpness depends entirely on the emperor himself. Think about the "White Terror" during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, using the Jinyi guard to control the courtiers, to the extent that his ministers ate what dishes they ate at home, and even slept with that wife at night, this kind of private matter is known very clearly.

Although this move seems very dirty, it also reflects the power of Jinyiwei, there is no rebellion of powerful ministers in the Ming generation, and the situation of self-reliance of the feudal town is enough to show the usefulness of Jinyiwei.
