The Turkic mission returned, and Zhili Sili brought official written documents, which the Khan agreed. When the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar, and the dignified Sui was ready to pay the Turks for the New Year's coin, what kind of system did it become?

Yu Shitai began to fire at Yang Chong, it doesn't matter if there is no emperor, Yang Chong is the prime minister, and he has an overview of the government, and the imperial historians consciously took out the posture of impeaching the emperor to deal with Yang Chong. The chapters of Shangshu Province and Menxia Province looked higher day by day, but fortunately, Yang Chong decided to convene a meeting of the ministers in the hall of the left-behind division on the third day, which did not make the crowd who watched the excitement wait too long; In addition to the celebration on the day Yang Chong entered Chang'an City, this was the second time that all the officials of Chang'an had gathered together.

Yang Chong sat in the middle of the position, with a calm attitude, waiting for the questions of the imperial historians, if you want to sit in this kind of hall for a long time, the imperial history always has to pass. More than 20 imperial historians looked grim, it was obvious that today was likely to be a lonely battle, and the important ministers in the court were all angry with Yang Chong in one nostril, even if some people were dissatisfied with the New Year's coin, it was estimated that they would not be enemies with Yang Chong in the public, they could only rely on themselves.

Supervising the Imperial Emperor Fu Wuyi, he strode out of the crowd, faced Yang Chong and asked, "Yue Guogong, I heard that the central government is going to pay the Turks ten years to redeem Fengzhou, is there such a thing?" ”

Yang Chong nodded unabashedly and admitted, and Huangfu Wuyi said sadly: "Why don't you send troops to recover Fengzhou, such an act really disappoints the people of the world." ”

Yang Chong said gently: "Hebei, Jiangnan, Bashu and other places are undecided, and two-thirds of the country is still in the hands of rebels, and we have no power to start a war with the Turks. ”

Shi Dugu Sheng, the attendant in the palace, stepped forward and said loudly: "Yue Guogong, this is the shame of my Great Sui, if anyone does it, he will be scolded by all the people." ”

Yang Chongyin smiled and asked: "Lord Duhu, is this official signing an agreement and not accepting impeachment, so you are ready to resign?" ”

"Of course." As soon as Dugu Sheng's words fell, Yang Chong shouted angrily: "Dugu Sheng, when the traitor Li Yuan betrayed Fengzhou, you were the young eunuch in the palace who attached the thief, and at that time there was not a word to intervene, nor did you resign or do nothing. Today, it is clear that he came to make trouble, came to someone, cut Lord Duhu to the people, drove him out of the yamen, and announced the reason for the reduction in front of Shangshu Province. ”

As soon as Yang Chong said this, the imperial historians remembered that their group of people had surrendered from Li Tang, and when Fengzhou was ceded, only Huangfu Wuyi was still in Luoyang, and everyone else was in Li Tang as officials, so there was no way to shirk it. Cui Shanwei, the secretary of the imperial history, was in a dilemma, and Cui Shanwei immediately crossed Cui Shanwei to meet Yang Chong and said: "Guogong, two million guan, the price is too high." ”

"It's not high, it looks like it's a Fengzhou, but for the five counties of Dingxiang, Dasui also retains sovereignty." Since Master Xu had an attitude of discussion, Yang Chong said kindly: "Lord Xu, you should go to Taiyuan, Tongwan, and Huaiyuan to see those places, the local soldiers and civilians live in an atmosphere of fear every day, and we must change this situation." ”

Yu Shi Zhao Hongzhi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Yu Shi heard the wind and played, there is no need to go to the scene to investigate. ”

Is the law in the service of a certain order, as long as you obey it, you have to reluctantly accept its unreasonableness, and there is no law that can satisfy everyone. Yang Chong only accepted this result, shook his head unwillingly, and everyone laughed, this is Yang Chong's advantage, no matter how he puts on a vicious appearance, he still compromises when it is time to compromise.

In the hearts of many officials, there is still a little bit of sadness for Dugusheng, and no matter how careful he is in his life, it is inevitable that there will be a time when he will go to Maicheng, and the precedent is the most critical. For example, if some people rebel and do not die, then those small things will have a reason to lobby in the future, and even have the opportunity to make some problems in legislation in the future; No matter how powerful Yang Chong is, he is just a person, and it depends on the outcome of the game between the two sides.

Yang Chong looked at Zhao Hongzhi playfully and asked, "What Lord Zhao means is that you don't have to be responsible for anything you say, but as long as you say it, others will have to spend time and effort to answer." It's a lot of power, but as far as I know, the responsible imperial history often verifies it on its own before impeaching, in the imperial history of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Cheng Shen about impeaching Wang Yuan for marrying the Manchu clan and receiving 50,000 things from the Manchu family, and in the Liang Yushi, Cheng Ren impeached the general Xiao Yingda for illegally collecting raw fish taxes, all of which are explained in the book, and the verification materials are similar to the rumors. ”

This is the homework that Yu Yu prepared for Yang Chong, and it was really used; Zhao Hongzhi was suddenly stuck there, Yang Chong didn't accuse him much, but the irresponsible hat Zhao Hongzhi was set. Yuan Wei and the others breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Chong's changeability in the court was exactly the skill that a ruler needed, and Yang Chong could be regarded as having passed a level; Zhao Hongzhi gave a deep salute and said: "What Guogong said is extremely true, but I heard that Fang Xuanling rectified the ordnance, and Tianlei was not among the weapons, and I hope that Guogong will teach him." ”

Jiang Duo had the idea of killing Zhao Hongzhi for a while, Tianlei is a secret of the Hexi Army, if the officials can meddle casually, how can they keep the secret; After enduring it, Yang Chong smiled calmly: "It's normal for Lord Zhao to not understand this thing, the thunder is the same as wood and steel, it is not a weapon, it can also be used in civil use, for example, if the Ministry of Industry builds water conservancy, it can use the thunder to blast the stone wall, greatly reducing the number and duration of labor requisition, so it can only be managed, and cannot be assigned to the Ministry of War, and there is no such thing as ordnance." ”

This is the second time he has been accused today, Zhao Hongzhi blushed and argued: "It is known that the prince of the country and the love of the world are all known, and the so-called things in the world are shared by everyone in the world, and it is really inappropriate to have a large amount of private property with the status of the prince today." ”

This is the rhythm of the dead, the ministers were surprised, there were many discussions, and even Huangfu Wuyi snorted dissatisfiedly, Zhao Hongzhi, you are dizzy, Yang Chong is just a national prince, which national prince does not have a huge industry, isn't it unpleasant to find yourself. After Yang Chong praised Zhao Hongzhi's selflessness, he asked casually: "Lord Zhao, if you rank by prestige status, which of the five surnames Qiwang or our Hongnong Yang family is higher?" ”

The hall was silent for a moment, and they all knew that Zhao Hongzhi was forced into a corner by Yang Chong, Zhao Hongzhi could never say that the prestige status of the Hongnong Yang family exceeded the five surnames and seven hopes, once it was said, if Yang Chong had called someone to immediately publish Zhao Hongzhi's words in the "Chang'an Daily", and then asked to change the clan chronicles, then Zhao Hongzhi became Yang Chong's vanguard to fight against the five surnames and seven hopes. As for private property, Yang Chong's resourceful people must have a way to deal with it.

Zhao Hongzhi hesitated for a long time, and finally whispered: "How can the Hongnong Yang family be compared with the five surnames and Qiwang, that is, in Chang'an City, there are more than a dozen families comparable to the Yang family. ”
