Chapter 617: Palace affairs are government affairs

Prince Yang Yong also returned to Chang'an with a lot of troubles this time.

As early as not long after the Eastern and Western Turks successively bowed down to the Great Sui, Yang Yong's right-hand men Tang Lingze and Zou Wenteng successively gave advice to Yang Yong, suggesting that he strive to defeat the position of commander Chen, lead the army to defeat Southern Chen, establish a career that is difficult for others to shake, and lay a solid foundation for his future ascension.

"Your Highness, the battle of Chen is different from resisting the Turks, this is the great cause of realizing the unification of the north and the south in one fell swoop, unless Your Majesty is determined to take the expedition in person, otherwise, the post of commander of the whole army of war Chen must be none other than His Royal Highness."

Tang Ling, the prince's left concubine, said with a little bit of turn, and Zou Wenteng, who was the prince's family order, persuaded Yang Yong to come, and his words were very straightforward: "Your Highness, before the King of Jin led the Eastern Turkic Sha Bowl to the imperial court, the King of Qin sat in the northwest and destroyed the Western Turkic Apo tribe, even the King of Shu has also quelled the rebellion of Qiang, only you have never established military merits, if you can't seize the opportunity to destroy Chen, establish a meritorious career, and subdue several princes, the lower officials are afraid that in the long run, there will be many disadvantages in Your Highness." What's more, His Royal Highness began to expand the six rates of the East Palace as early as a few years ago, and the six rates of soldiers and horses have now expanded to 10,000 people, far exceeding the fixed number of the imperial court. ”

Although the priorities of the two strategists were very different, Yang Yong understood one thing from the words of the two: Defeating Chen is far more important than subduing the Turks and quelling foreign rebellions.

Although Yang Yong intended to adopt the advice of the two strategists, and repeatedly mentioned in the previous chapter to the imperial court that he was willing to unify the army to defeat Chen, his father Yang Jian did not know what the considerations were, and he did not give a clear answer, which made Yang Yong quite unhappy.

At the suggestion of Zou Wenteng, Yang Yong instigated him to install the eunuch Wan Quan, the head of the Linshu Palace in the Daxing Palace, to secretly inquire whether Yang Jian had a preferred candidate for the commander of the Chen, and found that Yang Guang, the second brother of the Jin Dynasty, who had defeated the Turks many times in the six years after going out of the town and the state, was the first candidate for the commander of the Chen.

After Yang Yong received the report, he urgently summoned two strategists to discuss countermeasures. As a result, Tang Ling gave Yang Yong the idea of relocating the new registrant Ding to the northwest to prepare for the upcoming battle against Chen.

Tang Lingze's original intention was to use the relocation of hundreds of thousands of new people in the Kanto and Heluo areas to Guannei and Northwest China to create an opportunity for Yang Yong to mobilize the people's strength on a large scale; first, he could show Yang Jian and the world that Yang Yong really had the ability to lead a large army to defeat Nanchen, and second, he could also take this opportunity to invite the hearts of the people who enjoyed a decisive position among the people of the Kwantung family, and win their support for Yang Yong as the commander of the war against Chen, so that after the battle of Chen began, he could get a steady stream of military funds from the Kanto regionThe guarantee of food and grain, the plan is not far-reaching, and the intention can not be described as bad suffering.

However, to Tang Lingze's great surprise, Yang Jian actually adopted the advice of the second prince and King Yang Guang of Jin, and decided to change the relocation of Xinmin to the right of the relocation of the Kwantung family. In this way, if Yang Yong, the crown prince who left the eastern capital of the town, came forward to organize the move, it would inevitably cause great dissatisfaction with Yang Yong from these wealthy and well-connected Kanto families, and then completely disrupt the original plan.

Because of this, after Tang Lingze received the secret report from Wanquan's Daxing Palace, he immediately came to Yang Yong with Zou Wenteng, suggesting that he immediately ask the emperor to return to the dynasty and return to Chang'an.

And just when Yang Yong went to the court and asked to return to Beijing, Yun Zhaoxun, who had always been the most favored by Yang Yong, sent him a secret report, saying that Yang Yong had extorted money from hundreds of noblewomen in Wanshanni Temple to supplement the excess personnel of the East Palace.

According to the laws of the imperial court, the East Palace set up six rates, as the prince's protectors, also belongs to the forbidden army, six rates of a total of 3,000 people, by the court on a monthly basis to military funds, food. Yang Yong was set up as the prince of Sui before the opening of the Sui, and has been the crown prince for six years since the opening of the Sui, as early as the first year of the opening of the emperor, the Turkic five khans invaded the south, Yang Yong was ordered to go out of the town, and took the opportunity to expand the six rates of the East Palace, and the total number of troops in the six rates of the East Palace has exceeded 10,000 in the six years of the opening of the emperor.

The extra seven or eight thousand men and horses have always been raised by Yang Yong to raise military funds and grain to support, among them, extorting money from hundreds of former noblewomen of Wanshanni Temple, and then laundering these money through Pang Xun and his favorite hands to supply the required military funds and grain is an important path.

In Yang Yong's mind, he has always believed that the affairs of the East Palace belong to the government, even if the current imperial court does not recognize the huge East Palace Six Rates, but sooner or later he will have to be the emperor, once he ascends to the throne, what is the supply problem of seven or eight thousand people and horses?

However, before he ascended to the pole, the extra seven or eight thousand men and horses in the sixth rate of the East Palace were likely to become evidence of his disobedience. Therefore, Yang Yong can be said to have added another annoyance after getting Yun Zhaoxun's secret report.

Although soon after he was ordered to leave the eastern capital, he found a new way of wealth for his own guards of up to 10,000 people from the wealthy Kanto family Haoyou, but once the lid of Wanshanni Temple was lifted, he needed to give his father a clear answer, detailing the whereabouts of up to tens of millions of dollars.

Yang Yong returned to the court this time, and at the same time he wanted to strive to be the commander of the whole army of Shanghua Chen, he and Yun Zhaoxun discussed a way to properly solve the problem of Wanshanni Temple, but as soon as he entered the palace, he had a fierce dispute with his father Yang Jian.

The cause of the incident is still about the migration of the Kanto family Hao right into the customs, although Yang Yong was out of the eastern capital of the town for a short time, but he established close ties with a large number of Kanto families. Yang Yong needs these Kwantung families to pay for him to support the East Palace, and the Kwantung family hopes that by establishing a relationship with the prince of the current dynasty, he can open up a shortcut for the children of the clan to enter the office. For this reason, not long after the completion of the Dasuo Maung Reading, Yang Yong repeatedly told the Kwantung family that the imperial court would never damage their interests because of the hundreds of thousands of newly registered Ding households. But now Yang Jian wants to adopt Yang Guang's suggestion, relocate the Kwantung family to leave his hometown, and settle in Guanzhong, Yang Yong has a premonition that if he can't dissuade his father from dispelling this idea, he will inevitably incur the strong dissatisfaction of the Kwantung family with him, and then directly affect the supply of military resources at the sixth rate of the East Palace, so he naturally refuses to easily accept the move to the Kwantung family.
