Yang Su nodded: "It may be that there is a meaning in this regard, if the local states and counties can support the army and respect themselves, then relatively speaking, the emperor's central forbidden army will be weak, in the past, the emperor asked the government soldiers of various states and counties to take turns to go to Beijing to solve this problem, but judging from a series of things that happened in Daxing City after the death of the emperor last time, this is probably not safe." ”

Yang Xuangan thought of the situation with Changsun Sheng at that time, he still shuddered, and even began to have some beads of sweat on his head, and he said with palpitations: "Yes, if these government soldiers fall into the hands of people who are not right-minded and disloyal to the imperial court, it is indeed too dangerous." ”

Yang Su sighed: "But in this matter, the emperor's biggest intention is probably not here, but to figure out the removal and reorganization of the government soldiers, and to carry out a new purge of the local leading generals, and to purge the local powerful factions that were promoted in the previous emperor's period, and replace them with a group of his cronies to control." ”

Yang Xuangan suddenly became anxious and shouted: "What? That is to say, people like Liang Shidu and Xue Ju also have to be eliminated? Wouldn't it be that our years of operation and hard work have been wasted? ”

Yang Su's face became gloomy, and he nodded heavily: "It's not easy to talk about this matter now, I think maybe he thought a little too simply, underestimating the energy of the powerful factions in these places, thinking that as long as he gave an order, those people would obediently listen to him, hand over their official positions, and submit to him from now on." ”

A faint smile appeared on Yang Su's lips, he glanced at Yang Xuangan, and said, "Just like you just said, people like Liang Shidu and Xue Ju have been operating in the local area for more than ten years or even decades. It almost became an independent kingdom. Even the thorn history sent down from above was also played with by him. How could such a person be willing to surrender power? ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head: "But if you are unwilling, you can't help it, this time Yang Liang is not willing to abandon the state and enter Beijing on horseback, but chooses to raise troops to resist." But even Yang Liang, who has hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, has failed, and doesn't others hit the stone with an egg when they think about it? ”

Yang Su said with a smile: "Yang Liang's failure lies in the fact that no one in the world responds, and the reason why no one responds in the world is because the interests of the powerful in these places have not been violated, and human nature is like this, when it doesn't move to his head." It is often a matter of schadenfreude to the suffering of others, but if the emperor really imagined that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would cut off the powerful and powerful in the world and forcibly centralize power, it would not be too late for fear of chaos in the world. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded suddenly in realization: "Yes, when the time comes, there will be a careerist like Wang Shichong who will take the lead in stirring up trouble, and connect these local heroes to raise troops together, and the momentum will spread all over the country, not just a state." ”

Yang Suzheng said: "Yes, that's right, this time to suppress Yang Liang's uprising." On the one hand, the hearts of the people all over the world are yearning for the imperial court, and most people choose to stand on the side of the imperial court out of gratitude to the emperor. Especially the Guanlong military nobles who were mentioned by his father and you last time almost overwhelmingly chose to support the imperial court this time, and most of the military generals led by the Zhu country clan went out with the army this time, you also saw it. ”

Yang Xuangan smiled: "I'm afraid this is also a big Cheng dù is because the families of the civil and military officials are all in Daxing, don't talk about the military nobles of Guanlong, even the civil officials from the Shandong Shi clan you said, most of them are loyal to the imperial court, Pei Wen'an and Wang Gong are a minority after all." ”

Yang Sudao: "But you yourself said that the reason why many people are loyal to the court is nothing more than because their families are in Guanzhong, like the Wang Dan we arrested in Puzhou last time, it is also because of the hostages in Daxing that it will be so happy, and it is like Changsun Sheng, if he is allowed to choose freely, will he be loyal to the emperor?" ”

Yang Xuangan was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to respond, and after a long time, he argued strongly: "But they always have family members in Daxing, this is an unchangeable fact." ”

Yang Su sighed: "This third major event is precisely related to this. ”

Yang Xuan was surprised: "What else can have to do with this?" Is it difficult to move? ”

Yang Su smiled slightly, twisted his long hair, and said, "Yes, that's right." ”

Yang Xuangan was completely dumb after this time, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, he pinched his thigh fiercely, only then did he realize that he was not dreaming, and said: "How can this be?" ”

Yang Su sighed and said, "Do you remember Wang Shichong's Taoist master, Zhang Qiu Taiyi?" ”

As soon as Yang Xuangan heard this name, he was furious, gritted his teeth and said: "How can you not remember, it is the mother of this fight, didn't this guy tell the fortune of the emperor and put him in prison last time?" It was only when the emperor was dying that he ordered his life to be spared. ”

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Yang Su's eyes, and he said coldly: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Zhang Qiu Taiyi's ability to configure aphrodisiacs quickly pleased the emperor, and the emperor ate those small pills of his, and he was majestic all of a sudden, plus he had suppressed the emperor and the queen of literature for so many years, and he was even more crazy to vent. So Zhang Qiu Taiyi suddenly became his favorite again. ”

Yang Xuan said with hatred: "If I knew this, I should have killed this dog thief in the prison in the first place." ”

Yang Su sighed: "Forget it, he is just following orders, just a tool." However, what the father wants to talk about is not about him as a person, but about moving the capital. ”

Yang Xuangan came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this is the first thing, this chapter Qiu Taiyi is just a warlock in the world, when will this major event of moving the capital be decided by him, not your father, the prime minister of the dynasty?" ”

Yang Su smiled bitterly twice and said: "That chapter Qiu Taiyi made a statement to the emperor, saying that Yongzhou, where Daxing is located, is a rush of broken wood, and the emperor is a wooden life, if you continue to use Daxing as the capital, it will cause disaster." ”

Since this period of time, nursery rhymes have been popular in the Daxing street market, saying that it is to repair Luoyang and return to the Jin family. The emperor was named the king of Jin at the earliest, and he happened to respond to this nursery rhyme, so the emperor decided to move the capital to Luoyang. ”

Yang Xuangan was dumbfounded when he heard this, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Is it just because of a ridiculous nursery rhyme?" Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this kind of nursery rhyme is just a prop for careerists. The child is 100% sure that it is Wang Shichong, this guy is doing ghosts. Although the child does not know his intentions yet. But the emperor should also know the relationship between Wang Shichong and Zhang Qiu Taiyi, so he couldn't think of this? ”

Yang Su waved his hand: "You may be a little underestimated by the emperor, he is hypocritical and lustful, but he is definitely not stupid, and he will not trust anyone, you said that even if he led the army for his father, he did not forget to ask Wang Shichong to spy in secret, how could he believe what Wang Shichong's master said?" ”

Yang Xuan asked puzzledly: "Then why didn't he hold a court meeting, and he didn't discuss it with an important minister like you." What about such a major event as moving the capital all of a sudden? This is the foundation of the country. Not to mention far away, let's just say that the Northern Wei Dynasty a hundred years ago, it was because of the relocation of the capital from Pingcheng in the north of Jin Dynasty to Luoyang that it caused a major uprising among the officers and soldiers of the Six Towns, which almost destroyed the entire country. ”

Yang Su smiled: "What you said is really right, what the emperor thinks is probably really the foundation of shaking the country." ”

Yang Xuan was slightly stunned and said, "How do you explain this?" ”

Yang Suzheng said: "You have to know, why did the emperor have to be in Daxing? ”

Yang Xuangan suddenly came to his senses and said: "Xuangan understands, that's because the soldiers of the six towns of the former Northern Wei Dynasty who followed Yuwentai into the customs were the first to follow. That is, the so-called Guanlong military nobles, who have lived in Guanzhong for more than 100 years. Relationships are intertwined. ”

"And back then, the Zhu clan could have legal private soldiers, and now there are many domestic slaves. If these people unite to attack the emperor, it will really be elbows and armpits, and there will be very little time to react. ”

Yang Su nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right, from the Western Wei Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then to my Great Sui, it has been nearly a hundred years, and the military nobles of Guanlong are mainly Hu people, strong and warlike. ”

"Therefore, even with the prestige of the former emperor, he never dared to be the enemy of the entire Guanlong military nobles, but adopted the strategy of winning over the majority and attacking the minority."

Yang Xuangan said with a smile: "Maybe the emperor thought that those people who made trouble outside Daxing City last time were the ones who were full of his heart or the Guanlong nobles who wanted to usurp power, and even Changsun Sheng's appearance of standing still in that chaos last time would make him think that he was an accomplice of the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

"If this kind of thing happens again, when the time comes, the government soldiers will watch from the wall, and the rebels who are in chaos will attack Daxing again, and the thousands of guards of the palace will be outnumbered."

Yang Sudao: "Yes, that's the case, these Guanlong nobles who have lived inside and outside Daxing City for nearly a hundred years, some of the tunnels dug in the mansion can lead to the outside of the city, for example, isn't the secret room of Li Mi's house leading to the bottom of the Weishui River outside the city?" If these people make a rebellion, they don't even have to attack the city, and they will directly attack from the Baiguanfang. If you are the emperor, can you not be afraid? ”

Yang Xuangan stuck out his tongue and said: "I'm not afraid, because I don't do bad things, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, the emperor has done too many unsavory things in the process of seizing the East Palace and ascending the throne, and he has also offended too many people, which is probably the reason why he really wants to escape from Daxing impatiently." ”

Yang Su stood up, walked a few steps in the room, and said: "Yes, and the emperor is a great talent, he has always liked to chant poems against him, and he doesn't like those warriors who rush to kill on horseback." The reason why he was close to people like Yuwenshu was a last resort for self-preservation. If his father expected it to be good, he should reuse the scholars of Shandong in the future. ”

Yang Xuangan was taken aback, shook his head in disbelief, and said, "How can this be?" This time, Yang Liang also relied on these military nobles of the Guanlong Group, he can not like it, but it is impossible to kick it away, besides, father, didn't you say that he wanted to fight in the Quartet and achieve hegemony? How is it possible to use only literati? ”

Yang Su put his hand behind his back, smiled slightly, and said: "Because the emperor's bones respect the kind of aristocratic style of our Han people for thousands of years, in his eyes, only the Han family with five surnames and seven families is the real noble, and it is the one who can really govern the world with him, and those lowly and barbaric Hu barbarians will be kicked away sooner or later." ”

"Yuwenshu is okay if he marries his children and in-laws like this, anyway, it is an example, but in the future, the Hu people will be in charge of the army, and I am afraid that the situation of going out of the town will no longer exist, which is probably the real reason why the emperor moved the capital to Luoyang."

Yang Xuangan nodded again and again when he heard this, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said, "But Guanzhong is a place of beauty." If there is a Son of Heaven. Maybe it can put some of the unstable elements to rest. If the Son of Heaven is gone, wouldn't it be easy for these Guanlong military nobles guarding the pass to succeed if they want to be self-reliant? ”

Yang Su thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, the current Guanzhong no longer has the conditions like the Qin and Han dynasties that can divide one side and achieve the cause of the king." ”

Yang Xuan replied in disbelief: "Why is there no condition? Guanzhong is fertile for thousands of miles, and there are fortresses on all sides. In the east, Hangu Pass and Tongguan can block millions of male soldiers in the east of the Guandong, Wuguan in the south, Dasanguan in the west, and Xiao Pass in the north are also all one-man passes, and the Xiongguan is not open by ten thousand people, relatively speaking, the enemies in those three directions are not too strong, what can be feared? ”

Yang Su smiled: "It is the so-called land of Yongzhou on this "Yu Gong", the fertile field has confused many people, and the current Guanzhong is not the Guanzhong when Dayu controlled the water. ”

"Since the Five Chaos of China. The dense forests of the upper reaches of the Yellow River were heavily cut down, and the Hu people who entered Guanzhong on a large scale. Horses and horses were also grazing in the Fengmei water meadows in Guanzhong and Longyou, which led to rapid changes in the climate and hydrology of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, which directly affected the grain production in the Guanzhong Basin. ”

"I don't know if you still remember, when you were fourteen years old, there was a great famine in Guanzhong, and even the emperor had nothing to eat at that time, so he led the parents and villagers in Guanzhong to flee to Henan, and only returned half a year later. Even after this escape, the grain output in Guanzhong has not been able to rise, and it is even necessary to mobilize grain from the granary in Liyang for many years, which is also a problem that has been a headache for the former emperor during his reign. ”

Yang Xuangan finally understood, he sighed, and said: "In other words, the grain production in Guanzhong is not enough, even if someone wants to become a king and a tyrant based on this, it can't last, right?" ”

Yang Su nodded: "Yes, unless the people who occupy Guanzhong can quickly develop to the west and south, the north is a thousand miles of grassland, there are only cattle and sheep, and they can't feed the millions of people in Guanzhong; The land of Longyou in the west, that is, Liangzhou, is also vast and sparsely populated, and the land there is all loess, which is not suitable for farming, and only enters Bashu to the southwest. ”

"Bashu is the country of abundance, and the reason why the Qin Dynasty finally had the national strength to sweep away the six countries is also very large because of the natural granary of Bashu. Xuangan, you have to remember this, if you want to fight for the world in the future, you can't defend Guanzhong, you must block the heroes of Guandong in the east and enter Bashu in the south, so as to become a king. ”

Yang Xuangan smiled: "Father, the emperor has such ambitions and such means, I am afraid that our allies will be directly deprived of the ability to raise troops by him, let alone help us, is it a bit unrealistic for you and the child to say this?" ”

Yang Su waved his hand and said: "This plan is always done, Wang Shichong always hopes that you can go to Luoyang, he is fortunate to have trouble in Guanzhong, in fact, he also has this thought." ”

"Xuangan, you haven't traveled all over the world, you don't know the dangers of the passes all over the world, where you can station troops, where you can ambush, where you can divide the territory, this is where you need to strengthen your study in the future."

Yang Xuangan clenched his fists and said: "Obey my father's teachings, all the places where the children have passed through these years have been carefully drawn maps, including this crusade against Yang Liang, which starts from Taihang in the east, Puzhou in the west, Shuodai in the north, and the Yellow River in the south. ”

Yang Su stroked his beard with satisfaction and said: "Very good, a man must have this kind of consciousness, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles at the same time, when the world is in your heart, there will be a good general." By the way, you don't have a chance to go to Taihang Bacheng in the east this time, if you go to the world in the future, you must not miss it, this is the passage of the two states of Youji in the east of Bingzhou, which is extremely important, and you will only know it if you go to see it in person. ”

Yang Xuan sensed "yes" and continued: "Since the emperor's determination to move the capital has been made, he must first run Luoyang, and will not move there until the construction of the palace there is completed. Back then, it took two years for your father to build Renshou Palace, and it would take at least five or six years to build the entire Luoyang City. ”

Yang Su shook his head and said, "You may have misestimated this time, the emperor may have more or less really believed in the nursery rhyme of repairing Luoyang and returning the Jin family this time, and he can't wait to move." In the past few days, the hundred officials and lords and dignitaries in Daxing City have been notified to prepare to move as soon as possible, and Ding Zhuang in the Luoyang area has also begun to be requisitioned and used to build the fortress outside Luoyang City. ”

Yang Xuan said anxiously: "Last time my father, you went to build a Renshou Palace, and tens of thousands of people died, such a big Luoyang, if you want to repair it in such a short time, wouldn't you really have to grudge the world?" Father, you must not be confused again this time, and you must not take on this errand that costs people and money, and be scolded by others. ”

Yang Su smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that even if my father doesn't want to do this, the emperor won't let my father go." You know that he can't trust our Yang family, Luoyang will be his new home in the future, last time he built Renshou Palace too well for his father, and he definitely wants to build Luoyang magnificently this time.
