Su Wei has been in politics for decades, and he has been deeply immersed in officialdom, and he is not a loyal person himself, he is good at calculating personal interests, and he sees all kinds of officialdom interests very thoroughly, which is also the reason why Yang Yuanqing asked him for advice.

Yang Yuanqing's request for advice made Su Wei very proud in his heart, which greatly satisfied his vanity, and more importantly, it was also in his interests to attack the Hebei system, and he was of course willing to give advice to Yang Yuanqing.

Su Wei said with a smile: "Actually, it is not difficult to deal with Hebei officials, Your Highness might as well take two steps." ”

Yang Yuanqing perked up and asked, "Elder Su Ge, please say, what are the two steps?" ”

"The first step is to divide the internal division, Your Highness may wish to issue a decree of the King of Chu, give the local officials of the Great Sui a time limit, limit the local officials to clean up the accounts of Yicang within two or three months, and then His Royal Highness will begin to transfer officials from all over Hebei, without going out of Hebei, they will be exchanged with each other in the counties and counties of Hebei....."

Without waiting for Su Wei to finish speaking, Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but praise, "It's really smart!" ”

Su Wei's strategy of dividing himself was very vicious, and he had insight into people's hearts, and no official was willing to wipe his ass for his predecessor, and he would definitely clear himself of the responsibility of his predecessor, so that it would be easy to create contradictions between officials in various places, thus dividing their alliance of interests.

Yang Yuanqing also became excited, and then asked, "What about the second step?" ”

Su Wei said unhurriedly: "I have a very bad officialdom habit in Dasui, which is also a legacy of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, that is, officials have served in one place for too long, at least five or six years, at most eight or nine years, or even more than ten years, so it is easy for officials to collude with local famous and wealthy families to form a unity of interests." In fact, the reason why Lu, Cui and other families were able to control the local officialdom of He. It is for this reason that I suggest that the Great Sui should implement a system of recusal and rotation of officials, and that officials should not be allowed to serve as officials in their own townships. Moreover, the term of a magistrate is changed every three years, which means that after the Yicang grain matter is over, the Hebei officials will be transferred to Hedong. Hedong officials were transferred to Hebei, so that they could break the control of Lu, Cui and other families over Hebei. ”

This plan gave Yang Yuanqing a kind of enlightenment, he also considered the official rotation system, but not from the perspective of dealing with the family, but from the prevention of corruption, and today, Su Wei's words woke up the person in the dream.

Yang Yuanqing paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and there was an unbearable excitement in his heart, the reason why the major families were powerful. To a large extent, it is due to their external power, that is, their relatives, friends and disciples, or various marriages.

The implementation of the rotation system. Transferred the peripheral forces of the family thousands of miles away. Every three years, take advantage of the inconvenience of remote communication. You can skillfully remove the peripheral forces of the major families, and then break the monopoly of the major families on culture and education through the imperial examination, universal education, etc., and after ten or twenty years, the family will begin to decline.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yuanqing urgently needed the support of the Shandong scholars, so he was more tolerant of the Shandong scholars, so that seventy percent of the officials above the court were from the major famous scholars, just like at the beginning of the founding of the old Sui Dynasty, more than ninety percent of the officials were Xianbei people.

This is also a choice that has no choice, but once it gains a firm foothold, whether it is the new Sui or the old Sui, or the Tang Dynasty in history, it will not tolerate a certain force to sit strongly.

Yang Yuanqing now controls a large area of land north of the Yellow River, as well as the Central Plains south of the Yellow River, like Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms, with great power.

For him, the role of the Shandong Shi clan has been diluted, and of course, he now needs to use the Shandong Shi clan to consolidate his rule over the north and the Central Plains.

It's just that the Shandong Shi clan is no longer as important to him as it was at the beginning, so he also has to properly suppress the strong expansion of the Shi clan, but it is by no means suppressed, this is a degree of certainty, too tight, too loose.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing already had an idea in his heart, and he knew what he should do.

On the side, Su Wei smiled and said nothing, the smile in his eyes was full of treachery, he was an extremely treacherous and cunning person, he clearly helped Yang Yuanqing deal with the Hebei system, but in fact, he also secretly stabbed Pei Dang, Hedong officials were transferred to Hebei, is it not the same to wear small shoes for the Pei family? It's just that he didn't say it.

"Your Highness, this matter must be done without showing traces, the old minister suggested that His Highness should not come forward, and let the old minister operate this matter, I don't know what His Highness thinks?" Su Wei couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and made further requests.

Therefore, the most difficult thing for a person to do is moderation, that is, to grasp a degree, if Su Wei does not want to gain an inch, and takes over the power of this official transfer, just to make a suggestion, then Yang Yuanqing will only be grateful to him.

But Su Wei failed to grasp this degree, did not control the desire for power in his heart, he got carried away and leaked his true thoughts in his heart.

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and said lightly: "I will consider this matter, thank you Su Ge Lao, for chatting for so long, Su Ge Lao has worked hard, please go back!" ”

Su Wei actually came for the matter of his successor, and took the opportunity of attacking the Hebei department to finalize the matter of Chu Liang's entry into the prime minister, but before he had time to say this, Yang Yuanqing didn't want to talk to him more, which made Su Wei regret it, if he continued to talk about it, I am afraid the effect would not be good.

Helpless, Su Wei could only get up and salute, "Your Highness has a lot of things, and the old minister will leave." ”

He walked out of the official room, but met Han Shouzhong standing outside the door in the imperial history, Su Wei couldn't help but be stunned, Han Shouzhong was one of the backbones of his Su Party, Yang Yuanqing wanted to see him, why didn't he know?

He suddenly realized that Yang Yuanqing let him leave, in fact, it was not disgust, but Han Shouzhong was waiting to be received, and the first person on the first day was to summon Yushu Cheng, there must be something important.

Su Wei quickly gave Han Shouzhong a look and asked him to report to him afterwards, Han Shouzhong nodded silently, he understood what Su Wei meant.

In fact, Han Shouzhong is not exactly the Su Party, as the Imperial History Zhongcheng, he must be loyal to Yang Yuanqing, he is only because he has been favored by the Su family since he was a child, which makes him slightly biased towards Su Wei.

On the issue of principle, Han Shouzhong would never use his power to seek personal interests for Su Wei, at most, let Su Wei know some information in advance, and Yang Yuanqing also knew his loyalty, so he still reused Han Shouzhong, and did not abandon it because he was considered a Soviet party.

At this time, Pei Qingsong hurriedly stepped forward and said to Han Shouzhong: "Han Yushi, please come in!" ”

Han Shouzhong quickly tidied up his clothes and hat, and walked into the inner official room quickly, he bowed and bowed, "See His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" ”

Yang Yuanqing was standing in front of the window, he didn't look back, and said in a very calm tone: "Han Yushi, there are two things that you need to do. ”

"Your Highness, please!"

Yang Yuanqing pondered, turned around and looked at the two notes on the table, and said slowly: "First of all, you can impeach me to Ziwei Pavilion, abuse lynching, and kill court officials without permission." ”

Han Shouzhong was stunned for a moment, it turned out to be the impeachment of the King of Chu himself, how could this be? He couldn't react for a moment.

Yang Yuanqing glanced at him, "Didn't Han Yushi understand my words?" ”

After all, Han Shouzhong was the imperial history, and his surprise was only for a moment, but he immediately understood that it was because of the killing of Xu Shouxin, the county commander of the house, that he felt both emotion and admiration in his heart.

sighed that the king of Chu actually wanted to impeach himself, and the first emperor Yang Guang only admitted his mistakes when he was dying, and he never admitted his mistakes the rest of the time, and admiration was the heart of the king of Chu who dared to admit his mistakes, and it was extremely difficult for the general superiors to do it.

He thought about it for a while and bowed down and said: "According to the procedure, His Royal Highness should directly ask the Queen Mother for his guilt, and there is no need to impeach His Highness." ”

Yang Yuanqing knew in his heart that if he was the emperor, no one would be able to impeach him, he could only issue an edict for his own crimes, but after all, the king of Chu was only the regent, and the emperor and the queen mother were still above, and he only had to ask the queen mother for his guilt.

Impeaching Ziwei Pavilion has no practical significance for him at present, but Yang Yuanqing wants to establish a precedent, and after a hundred years, his descendants will also overstep their authority and kill officials, so there will be ministers who will take them out and say things, 'Back then, the ancestor was impeached by the imperial history to Ziwei Pavilion. ’

There is such a precedent, which is a warning to his descendants, thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "What to do, I know very well in my heart, you just do what I ask." ”

"Yes! The lowly office will be ...... as soon as possible Impeachment, please ask Your Highness to command the second thing. ”

"The second thing is about the crime of accepting bribes and dereliction of duty in Zhao County, Zhang Jibei, this person has been detained to Taiyuan, he is involved in the case of embezzlement of Yicang grain by the county order and county Cheng of the house, I consider that this case is very important, and it is not appropriate for a ministry and temple to try this case, I decided to be tried by the ministry, temple, and Taiwan, and the imperial history Zhongcheng will be the main trial, that is, you, and Li Shaoqing of Dali Temple and Zhou Shilang of the Criminal Department will be the deputy trial, and I will give you ten days to try this case clearly."

Han Shouzhong was secretly shocked, it turned out to be a trial in the third hall, this case was really extraordinary......

The next day, Han Shouzhong, the middle of the imperial history, formally submitted an impeachment case to Ziwei Pavilion, impeaching the regent Yang Yuanqing, the king of Chu, for violating his authority without authorization and killing the county magistrate and the county magistrate, and impeached him for abusing lynching, using torture unprecedented in the laws of the Great Sui to peel the skin and fill the grass, and expand the charges, and use the army to behead the county magistrate and the county Cheng's family, which is suspected of interfering in politics with the military.

Han Shouzhong's impeachment suddenly shocked the government and the opposition, and it was unheard of to dare to impeach the supreme ruler of the Great Sui.

But unexpectedly, Ziwei Pavilion actually accepted the impeachment and passed the impeachment with four votes, submitting an impeachment order to the Queen Mother, while Yang Yuanqing remained silent from beginning to end.

It was not until this time that many ministers finally reacted, I am afraid that this impeachment case is not Han Shouzhong's bravery, but Yang Yuanqing's own will, without Yang Yuanqing's nod, how could Ziwei Pavilion pass the impeachment order.

At this time, there was great interest from both the government and the opposition, what will be the final result of this impeachment order? Could it be that Yang Yuanqing will really be removed from the post of King of Chu?
