The third volume opens the first chapter of the emperor's prosperity and the Turkic attack
Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! "Hundreds of officials, large and small, knelt down to pay respects!
"All the ministers are flat!" Yang Jian's majestic voice came from sitting on the dragon chair.
"Long live thanks!" The officials hurriedly got up, and Yang Yong sat down on a chair closest to the emperor's position, and below him were three old men with white beards, who were the three most honorable ministers of the Great Sui: Taishi Shen Guogong Li Mu, Taifu Deng Guogong Dou Feng, and Taiwei Ren Guogong Yuyi.
After Yang Jian established the Great Sui, the first thing he did was to change his official position, divide the hundred officials, announce the abolition of the six officials set up by the Northern Zhou Dynasty to imitate the "Zhou Li", accept Cui Zhongfang's suggestion, restore the old system of the Han and Wei dynasties, and set up the three divisions of Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao, and the three dukes of Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong. Although the three princes set up subordinates to pre-empt national affairs, they are only consultants and have no real power and are not permanent.
Originally, there was at least one position of Wei Xiaokuan in the three princes and three divisions, but unfortunately he did not wait for Yang Jianden to become the emperor, Wei Xiaokuan had died of illness, under the three princes and three divisions, sitting in order was the left servant of Shangshu Province and Nayan Gao Ying, the right servant of Shangshu Province and the right servant of Shangshu Province to shoot Zhao Xuan of Jincheng County, Yu Qingze, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wei Shikang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the Gongyuan Yan of Changguo County, the Ministry of War, the Shangshu of Changguo County, Yang Shangxi, the Duzhi (Household Department) Shangshu Sihui, the Duguan (Criminal Department) Shangshu Yining County Gongyuan Hui, and the head of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Sun Bi......
Not only does the prince have a position in the main hall, that is, the three divisions, the three dukes, the left and right servants, and the officials above the Shangshu are qualified to sit in the main hall, and only the officials below the Shangshu need to stand.
And Zheng Yi, who made the greatest contribution to Yang Jian's claim to be the emperor, Liu Fang and the others did not get any benefits, Yang Jian just gave the two of them some false titles to pass away, and these two people had no ability to govern the country. will only slap horses, officialdom fights, and when Wei Chi rebelled and needed them to supervise the army, both of them found an excuse to refuse, which caused Yang Jian to be extremely dissatisfied, and it was natural not to give them high-ranking officials.
It's just that he has always been reused by Yang Jian, relying on his right and left hands, and even when Yang Jian was the prime minister, Li Delin, who Gao Ying had always been secretly jealous, stood far behind, and he only got a man from Xian'an County. The official position of the Inner Shi Ling.
Soon after Yang Jian became emperor, Yu Qing persuaded Yang Jian to kill all the Yuwen clan, Gao Ying knew Yang Jian's thoughts, and agreed against his will. In Yang Jian, he has already expressed his intentions and persuaded him hard.
In Li Delin's view, the wings of the Zhou room have been cut, and there is no need to kill more to attract the name of inhumanity; The new dynasty should have the atmosphere and mind of the new dynasty, but unfortunately Yang Jian couldn't listen to Li Delin's advice at all this time, and said: "The scholarly spirit is not enough to talk about this matter." Reprimanded Li Delin, turned around and ordered all the Yuwen clan to be executed, even the nine-year-old Emperor Jing did not let go, and ended Yuwenyan's life with a poisonous wine three months later.
When rewarding civil and military officials. Yang Jian hesitated again and again: When Gao Ying went to the front line to supervise the army, only Li Delin and the two of them knew about the work of the secret room, if Li Delin was awarded a high-ranking official and a knighthood. It is equivalent to telling the government and the opposition Li Delin's talent, if there is no previous matter, Yang Jian feels that it is okay to reward Li Delin, but after he showed his intentions, Li Delin still does not know how to elevate, and he inevitably does not put the rules of the monarch and ministers in his eyes. Yang Jian thought left and right, and in the end, he only sealed Li Delin's internal history order.
At this time, it was already September of the first year of the emperor's reign, and Yang Yong had been the crown prince for six months. In the past six months, Yang Yong's position as crown prince has done well, and the ministers have been generous and merciful to this. Moreover, the prince of Jian Servant was very satisfied, and Yang Jian also trusted Yang Yong, and Yang Yong was involved in the decision of the military affairs and the capital crimes played by Shangshu.
When Yang Jian first ascended to the pole, it was the time when the treasury was the most empty, if it were not for Yang Yong's sale of Luoyang Palace's one million pieces of silver to support, Yang Jian's ascension ceremony had to be cut, and the crown prince sold the Luoyang Palace, which symbolized Emperor Xuan of Zhou's extravagance, to increase the treasury, and won a lot of praise from the Great Sui court.
As soon as Yang Yong returned to Chang'an, the crown princess wanted to hold a grand welcome ceremony for the prince and celebrate Yang Yong's ascension to the crown prince, but Yang Yong categorically refused, and handed over all the money that the crown princess wanted to use to hold the banquet to the state treasury, both the emperor and the ministers praised it.
After Yang Jian reformed the government soldiers, and made a new system of imperial laws, Yang Yong participated in them one by one, and put forward many practical suggestions, so that the Manchu Dynasty was full of praise for the prince's talent.
"If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!"
Shangshu Yuanyan of the Ministry of War got up from his position: "Your Majesty, the minister received an urgent report from the border gates in Dunhuang, Changle, Jiuquan, Liangzhou, Lingzhou, Shuozhou and other places, and the Turks have begun to assemble on a large scale and are about to go south." ”
Yuan Yan's words caused a loud buzz in the main hall, the news of the Turks moving south has been spreading since March, when the court and the middle of the country were very nervous, fortunately, although the newborn Great Sui was weak, but the Turks had just changed the Great Khan, and they had just come from winter, and they didn't want to do it immediately, and finally the time was consumed between the two countries to send envoys to each other, and now it was September, and the Turks were in the season of autumn high horses and fertile land, and they couldn't help but do it anymore.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that the Turks would be so big this time, and at the same time gather people and horses on the thousand-mile-long border line of the Great Sui, that kind of posture seems to swallow the entire Great Sui in one fell swoop. Although the Great Sui was given more than half a year to rest and recuperate, and the summer grain had been collected, there was barely a surplus of grain in the treasury, but the Turkic cavalry was rampant for tens of thousands of miles, and there was no opponent for decades, and many ministers were still panicked when they heard the news.
Seeing the panicked look on the minister's face, Yang Jian was immediately displeased: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Turks will attack the Great Sui, I don't know what strategy you Aiqing has to retreat from the enemy?" ”
Shang Shu's left servant shot Gao Ying and stood up first: "The minister thinks that the soldiers will block, although the Turks are invincible in cavalry, but my Great Sui soldiers are many generals, as long as the elite soldiers are mobilized to defend step by step, the Turks are not durable to fight, and they will retreat from the enemy after a long battle." ”
Gao Ying's move was also a last resort, and the Turks launched an attack at the same time on a front of thousands of miles
Unable to come out and compete with the Turks, they had to defend step by step. It's just that many places will be breached by the Turks, and then the border will inevitably be devastated. And he was too weak to satisfy Yang Jian.
Yang Jian turned to Yang Yong: "What does the prince think?" ”
—
Yang Yong's expression was certain, and he stood up from his position: "Father." The sages have words, know themselves and know the other, in order to be able to survive a hundred battles, now on the familiarity with the Turks, such as the general of the cavalry Changsun Sheng, the sons of the ministers thought that at this time the edict of the chief Sun Sheng went to the palace to explain the specific situation of the Turks for the ministers, in order to find out the way to deal with the Turks. ”
"Eldest Sun Sheng?" Yang Jian couldn't help frowning, Changsun Sheng was appointed as the deputy envoy to send relatives last year. Escorting the princess to marry the Turks, in a hunt, Changsun Sheng shot down the double eagle with an arrow in front of Sha Boluo, and suddenly the entire grassland spread the prestige of Changsun Sheng.
You must know that although the Turks are good at shooting, it is still difficult to shoot an eagle, which usually flies high and fast. Ordinary people's long arrows are difficult to even catch the eagle feathers, if someone can shoot down a eagle, they can boast to others for the rest of their lives, let alone kill two birds with one stone.
Sha Boluo immediately left Changsun Sheng behind, did not allow him to return to the Central Plains, and let Changsun Sheng serve as a Turkic archery teacher, until a few months after Yang Jian ascended to the pole, Changsun Sheng was paid by the Changsun family to buy off the Turkic nobles and ransom Changsun Sheng back. It has only been seven or eight days since I returned to Chang'an.
For Changsun Sheng's talent, Yang Jian appreciates it on the one hand, but on the other hand, he is secretly vigilant, and the Changsun family is the former Wei Huang family. Now Changsun Lan's uncle Changsun Lan is the marshal of the march of the Southeast Road, and the other uncle of the eldest grandson, Sun Ping, is the governor of Shouyang, and the elder brother of Changsun Shengdi is inspecting the 36 states of the Southeast Road, the strength of the Changsun family is not small, for the most talented Changsun Sheng, Yang Jian does not intend to reuse, and when he hears the name of Changsun Sheng, he will show a strange color, Zhou usurped Wei, Sui usurped Zhou, Yang Jian of course had to guard against Wei usurping Sui again.
It's just that Yang Yong's words are not unreasonable. The eldest grandson had been in the Turkic territory for more than a year, and had just returned, and of course he was most familiar with the Turks. Yang Jian reluctantly said: "Spread the decree, announce the eldest grandson." ”
Received the emperor's will, Changsun Sheng entered the palace as quickly as possible, and when he arrived at the palace, the early dynasty had already fallen, Yang Jian received him in the side hall, and the ministers around him In addition to the prince Yang Yong, only the Taiwei Yu Yi, the left servant of Shangshu shot Gao Ying, and the military department Shangshu Yuanyan Liao Liao.
After the eldest grandson Sheng finished paying homage, Yang Jian said: "The eldest grandson Aiqing, the Turkic wolf ambition, has gathered troops thousands of miles on the border of the Great Sui, Aiqing has just returned from the Turks, which can solve the reality of the Turks." ”
Changsun Sheng hurriedly took out a piece of music from his arms: "Back to the emperor, this is the minister on the way back to write a recital, the minister has written the Turkic people's reality and the way to deal with it here, please the emperor to read it." ”
The chamberlain Zhang Quan hurriedly took the song from Changsun Sheng and handed it to Yang Jian, Yang Jian read it quickly, and sighed: "Changsun Lang is talented, prince, you can also take a look." ”
Yang Yong took over the recital and watched it carefully, Changsun Sheng's recital is very long, which not only writes the Turkic people's fiction and reality clearly, but also clarifies the complete idea of dealing with the southern invasion of the Turks, Changsun Sheng put forward three points at the end: First, the enemy in front of me is strong and I am weak, and it is not appropriate to confront each other head-on; 2. Although the Turks are strong, they are full of internal contradictions, and the Turks, Abo, Chuluohou and Shabo are slightly separated, and the eastern vassal states are Xi and Xi are unbearable to the extortion of the Turks, and they also have centrifugal rebellion, which is easy to divide and disintegrate; Third, if the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack is adopted, and the strategy of separating the strong and combining the weak, it will eventually be able to isolate the Shabalu Khan and empty the country in one fell swoop.
Changsun Sheng's strategy is naturally much more clever than Gao Ying's simple resistance, Yang Yong has actually seen him when Changsun just came back, Changsun Sheng's chariot general is only five products, and he can't see the emperor directly, Changsun Sheng originally wanted to ask Yang Yong to present the song to the emperor, Yang Yong naturally already knew that Changsun Sheng had a strategy in his chest, read it again this time, and soon read the song and handed it to Gao Ying.
Yang Jian couldn't recall what the eldest grandson Sheng said in his heart, and felt more and more exquisite: "What the eldest grandson Aiqing said about the defilement, Abo, Chu Luohou and Sha Bowl are slightly separated, can you explain it in detail for me?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Turkic emperors are mostly brothers, from Ili Khan, Yi Khan, Wooden Pole Khan to Tubo Khan. According to this lineage, Tubo should have passed the throne to the fifth brother of the Emperor, and before inheriting the throne of the Khan, the Tubo Khan had promised his brother Mupole Khan, and after his death, he would pass on to the eldest son of the Mupole Khan, but in the end, the position of Khan was taken away by the camera, so there are many disobedient people in the country......"
Yang Jian was confused and interrupted Changsun Sheng's words: "Who is the photographer and who is Da Luobian?" ”
"Emperor, Da Luo Ben is Apo Khan, the picture is Sha Bo Luo Khan, and Chu Luo Hou is the brother of Sha Bo Khan, if according to the Turkic customs of the brother dies and the brother inherits, after the death of Tu Bo, the successor is the defilement, if according to the Central Plains father and son inheritance, the position of Tu Bo Khan should be returned to Da Luo, and the position of the Khan who is subdued by military strength is not stable.
In order not to divide the Turks, Sha Bolu had no choice but to crown the Turks as the second khan: that is, the Datou Khan; Feng Daluo as the third khan: that is, Apo Khan; He also named his younger brother Luo Hou as the fourth khan: that is, the Turki Khan, Sha Bo slightly sealed Luo Hou with the original intention of strengthening his brother's strength, but it was just the custom of the Turkic brother to inherit his brother's business, so that Sha Bo Luo was also wary of his brother, although he let Luo Hou be in charge of the Eastern military, but he was not completely at ease; He once made an alliance with the lowly position, wanting to borrow the power of my Great Sui, and the inside and outside should be combined in order to forge ahead.
The reason why the Turks are attacking the Great Sui now, and the internal instability of the Turks also has a lot to do with the unification of the Turkic four khans, at this time the four khans are acting in unison, but they want to plunder more materials from the Central Plains, except for the sand bowl slightly wants to enhance their prestige, sit firmly on the throne of the Khan will fight, the other three parties to wait and see, if the emperor can send people to pull the cage, the Turkic three-way army is likely to retreat without a fight, and finally only one person is left in the sand bowl, and it will be easy for my Great Sui to attack. ”
