Chapter 14: Yang Jian's Theft of the Country (2)
Yang Jian was very happy, he had easily become the powerful minister that countless people dreamed of, but he was happy and troubled at the same time, because he didn't want to divide the power into three parts, he wanted to take power alone. But what should Zheng Yi and Liu Fang do with this, this is a big problem, after all, if the forgery of the edict is leaked, he Yang Jian and even the entire Yang family will come to an end. Even if others guess that there is a problem with this kind of thing, as long as there is no solid evidence, no one dares to trouble him Yang Jian, but the trouble in this matter lies in the fact that in addition to knowing Yang Jian, there are also Zheng Yizhi and Liu Fang. And Yang Jian can get the power so easily, Zheng Yi and Liu Fang are the first to take credit, Yang Jian is not a person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, let alone a person who is not familiar with unloading and killing donkeys, so Yang Jian is very grateful to Zheng Yi and Liu Fang. But thanks to thanks, if you really want to divide the power into three parts, Yang Jian is unwilling to do it anyway, so Yang Jian is happy and annoyed at the same time.
So what exactly is to be done with these two people? In fact, Yang Jian has also thought about it for a hundred years, but he doesn't know if Zheng Yi and Liu Fang have a backhand, he is afraid that if it spreads, it will be really bad. Just when Yang Jian was at a loss, a person appeared and gave him a good solution, who is this person? This person has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, famous for his good articles, he worked in the Northern Qi Dynasty before, after Emperor Wu of Zhou destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, he sent someone to his home to find him to work, this person saw that the emperor was so polite, so he jumped ship quite happily, Emperor Wu of Zhou was very happy, this person is Li Delin, the minister of Northern Qi, the minister of Northern Zhou, and the founding father of the Great Sui, the father of Li Baiyao, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, is a famous historian.
Li Delin is the minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he was valued by Yu Wenyong with a good article to be able to rise all the way in his career, but he is not a member of the Guanlong Group, and the highest position he can achieve is visible. But this person has ambitions, and he wants to continue to climb up, so he has only one way, which is to become a member of the Guanlong Group. I have to say that this person's vision is really good, after he came to Beizhou, he didn't have a lot of fun with other people, but he played with Yang Jian very well. Relying on his talent and Yang Jian's help, Li Delin also has a certain status in the imperial court, and he can be regarded as entering Guan Long's circle. After the announcement of Zheng Yi and Liu Fang's forged edict, Li Delin was the first to respond in the court, and with his own talent, he helped Yang Jian win over a large number of people and played an important role.
After Li Delin saw Yang Jian so melancholy, he made two suggestions to Yang Jian. First, you should be a great prime minister, just like Yuwentai Yuwen Hu before, so that you can reasonably manage all the affairs of the country and lead the ministers. Second, Zheng Yi and Liu Fang must be rewarded, and more rewards can be given, but the official position should not be too big. In fact, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, Zheng Yi and Liu Fang are the initiators of this matter, they are grasshoppers on the same rope as you, and you have now mastered the power of soldiers and horses, and it won't take long for you to take the power of the army into your own hands, and even if others know about it, they won't dare to say anything.
Yang Jian was already very happy when he heard the first suggestion, because this was what he thought, but because it was difficult to mention it in face, it would be good if someone said it, so Yang Jian was very satisfied. The second suggestion made Yang Jian's heart flutter even more, because this was the most annoying thing for him at the moment, he couldn't see it clearly when he was in the game before, but now after Li Delin said this, he figured it out in an instant. Yang Jian is very happy, at this moment, all the troubles are gone, only happiness remains, although he has not promoted Li Delin to the official now, but from this time on, coupled with Li Delin's performance for so long, he really regards Li Delin as his confidant, a trustworthy subordinate.
So Yang Jian became the prime minister, Zheng Yi became the prime minister's governor, Liu Fang became the prime minister's Sima, and the two people who originally wanted to share power with Yang Jian became Yang Jian's subordinates at this moment. Although Zheng Yi and Liu Fang were very angry, there was nothing they could do, because they were smart people, and they also thought of the consequences of revealing the truth, no matter what the final result was, the two of them would definitely die first, so they could only continue to help Yang Jian work.
Just after Yang Jian handled all the affairs of the court, good news came one after another. In fact, what he is most worried about is the attitude of the Guanlong Group, the Dugu family and the Li family in the Guanlong Group naturally needless to say, this is all a family, but the attitudes of other families are still unclear. It wasn't until Yu Yi, the son of Yu Jin in the Eight Pillars Kingdom, stood up to publicly support Yuwentai that the Guanlong Group began to re-examine itself. Because this Yu Yi is not only the core of Guanlong Group, but also Yuwentai's son-in-law, the other bigwigs in Guanlong saw that this person supported Yang Jian, so they began to change their mentality one by one.
After all, to be honest, these people don't really have a big concept of the state, they don't care who is in power at all, they only care about their own vested interests. And what Yu Wenyun, the emperor, is doing is too embarrassing, your father wiped out the Northern Qi, the domestic situation is very good, and the queen Chen of Nanchen has come to power, and he is ruining the family's old book. Such a good opportunity, you don't want to expand the territory, but you are still ruining the foundation that Yuwenyong has worked hard to do at home, and the Guanlong bigwigs have long been dissatisfied with Yuwenyun, but because Yuwenyong's contribution is too great, I don't want to talk about it for the time being. Now that Yu Wenyun is finally dead, Yang Jian still looks quite reliable, so the Guanlong nobles have also begun to change their mentality and support Yang Jian.
Up to now, Yang Jian has basically stabilized the country, and he is full of ambition and ready to show his strength. Let's review Yang Jian's journey of stealing the country, although it seems easy, and what I wrote is also very easy, but to be honest, stealing the country is not something that can be succeeded overnight, only with adequate preparations, can we make the ultimate leap in the last time and achieve great things.
Yang Jian's preparation is divided into two types: conscious and unconscious, first of all, the unconscious, the unconscious should start from Yang Jian between Yuwen Hu and Yuwen Yong. Even if Yuwen Yong pretends to be a grandson and Yuwen Hu is too good, the court is still divided into two factions, one supports Yuwen Hu and the other supports Yuwen Yong. Although the strength of the two sides is not proportional, the ministers still stand in line, but what about Yang Jian, he does not stand in line, he said that I am neutral. As the head of the Yang family, the core family of Guanlong, Yang Jian has this qualification, so Yuwen Hu Yuwen Yong can only do this, you can't do it for Yang Jian because of this matter, it's unrealistic. So Yang Jian became his own faction, which also caused Yuwen Hu Yu Wenyong to look at Yang Jian unpleasantly, and Yang Jian also knew his situation, so he pretended to be a grandson in the court, until Yuwen Yong killed Yuwen Hu. At this time, Yang Jian, who had not taken refuge in Yuwen Yong before, naturally rose to the top, because there were too few people who had taken refuge in Yuwen Yong before, almost zero, and the people who took refuge were all inconsequential petty officials, so this real minister Yang Jian was naturally reused. And as I said before, Yang Jian himself is very capable, such an upright, not inclined to inflammatory, and capable minister, of course Yu Wenyong likes it very much. Later, he also personally gave marriage, and married Yang Lihua to Yu Wenyun as the crown princess, in fact, to put it bluntly, he wanted Yang Lihua to be the queen and marry the Yang family as a family, Yu Wenyong attached great importance to Yang Jian, which is also the most important reason why Yang Jian can stand out from the ministers of Guanlong and become the real core of power, only when he reaches the core of this power, can he have the opportunity to win, so this is very important.
