Yi Feng knelt in the court, he lowered his head, listening to the prince's high opinion, he almost couldn't stop laughing in his heart. At this time, the emperor's meaning is already very obvious, Wang Shiji is absolutely unforgivable. But the prince still said that Wang Shiji had no intention of rebelling, and he also endorsed him, and even proposed a punishment such as demotion, demotion, and punishment. If it is said that Wang Shiji is not the crown prince, it may be forgivable for him to say such things at this time, but since he and Wang Shiji are not clear in the first place, and now he dares to say this, this is really a great courage.
For this Wang Shiji case, Yi Feng's contribution has already been made, and now he is resolutely an outsider's face, even with his weight in front of the emperor now, but he is also resolutely a transparent person in the palace, and he does not have the slightest opinion on this matter at all. Because he knew that Wang Shiji was already dead, and even Gao Gong was very involved in this matter, and the military horse case had been resolved, for the time being, Gao Gong would have to take care of himself for the next period of time, so Yi Feng was too lazy to participate in this case.
Anyway, this case, no matter how it goes, Wang Shiji will definitely die, and how to develop next depends entirely on the emperor's wishes, no matter how Yang Guang and they push, no matter how Gao Gong and they want to put out the fire, they will not affect the result.
Yi Feng is now thinking more about his own one-third of an acre of land, he has already read the latest list of the emperor, and it was not surprising in the early dynasty. There were no further surprises, and the emperor's list passed through the three provinces. The appointment has been officially issued, as of today. Li Yuan and the others have already handed over their original positions, officially received the appointment letter and official position of the general manager, and are ready to follow Yi Feng to take up their posts at any time.
The imperial court gave Youzhou the governor's office thirty-two states, of which eleven states were governor's states, because all the states were military states, so the imperial court finally allocated one hundred and eight military towns to Youzhou. Originally, there were fifty towns in the Youzhou Governor's Office, and several other governors also had more or less jurisdiction over many military towns, because more than 20 military towns were also set up in Huaihuang. Now these military towns have been adjusted by the imperial court, and some have been abolished and some have been increased. These military towns such as Huaihuang were recognized, and finally integrated into one hundred and eight military towns in eleven states. The military towns of the governor's offices in each border area are comparable in size to the military chariot and hussar mansions in the Kifu area, with 1,000 upper towns, 800 middle towns, 500 lower towns, 1,000 soldiers, 1,200 upper towns, 1,000 lower towns, and 800 lower towns. One hundred and eight towns, which is no less than 100,000 people, which is equivalent to the imperial court giving Yi Feng's Youzhou Governor's Mansion 100,000 soldiers and horses.
From now on, the imperial court had to bear the food and military expenses of these 100,000 military generals, and not only that, but it also meant that there were a large number of officer positions. Even Yi Feng would have to be able to get one-tenth of the appointment rights for one of these positions. This would also be quite remarkable.
Originally, Yi Feng was still planning how to seize the control of Youzhou after he went back, but now the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and he got the support of the Son of Heaven. already has the control of the upper echelons of the entire state capital of Youzhou. However, in order to achieve real control over the entire Youzhou Mansion, it is not enough to have these governors. He also had to get the support of most of the generals in these one hundred and eight military towns, and he also had to get the support of the counties below the eleven states. It's not enough to enlist the support below. Yi Feng still has to find a way to have people who he believes in.
The territory has expanded, and there was originally only one Huai Famine. Now that he has an entire Youzhou Mansion all of a sudden, he lacks a large number of manpower. He'll have to figure out a way. Where to get a group of people, especially knowledgeable literati? He may be able to get a group of children from the Yuan family to go over, and now that the princess of Xiangguo is his mother-in-law, then the Li family can also get a group of people to go over. Also, the Li Yuan family, the Li Min family, etc., these are all the children of the gate valve, there are many family members, there are a large number of children, and there are also many scholars who are attached to them. To put it simply, the aristocracy of this era almost monopolized the study of scriptures, so the vast majority of scholars were these aristocratic landlords, and it was almost impossible to attract tens of millions of talents with a single advertising leaflet like in later generations.
By the way, I also have a teacher. Hedong Confucian Wang Tong, more than 1,000 disciples, he is quite famous in Hedong to give lectures, Yang Lin has been to listen to lectures many times before. Although he did not go to Hedong to listen to the class after he arrived in Huaihuang, he also sent people to send money to Hedong several times, supported Wang Tong, and helped me build a school and buy a school field, this time when he entered Beijing, although he was in a hurry on the road and did not have time to pass, but he also sent someone to send 20,000 yuan, not long ago Wang Tong also asked his disciple Du Yan to return to Beijing and bring a reply letter to himself. In the letter, he was very satisfied with his filial piety as an observer disciple, and said that he would definitely go to Hedong to listen to the lectures again if he had time. Yi Feng doesn't have time to attend classes anymore, but there are many people in Wang Tongmen, and this disciple of Confucianism later produced many high-ranking officials such as the prime minister Shangshu in the early Tang Dynasty. If you can invite this scholar to Youzhou to give lectures and lectures, then you can attract a large number of students to Youzhou, and then recruit them to do things by the way, and it will be a matter of course.
When he thought of Wen Zhongzi, he thought of another great Confucian Bao Kai, who is also a very famous Confucian, who is now lecturing in the Guozijian and has more than 1,000 disciples. He also has a very famous disciple, well, named Li Mi. It seems that the last time he went to the princess of Xiangguo's mansion, the future father-in-law Li Changya mentioned to him that he was going to let a group of Li family disciples go to Youzhou with Yi Feng to assist him, and among those Li family juniors there was this Li Mi. It's just that I didn't pay attention to it for a while, and then I thought that this Li Mi seemed to be the leader of the late Sui Dynasty Li Mi, but I haven't had the opportunity to meet and talk with him in person, maybe I can go back and talk to this Li Mi, and ask him to help introduce Bao Kai, so that this great Confucian can also be brought to Youzhou together.
At this time, Yang Jian's angry roar suddenly sounded in his ears, "Stupid! ”
Yi Feng woke up at this voice, looked up, and found that the Son of Heaven was reprimanding the prince Yang Yong in disappointment and anger, and even used the word stupid. Don't dare to say a word. And Liu Shu and the others, who originally wanted to speak for Wang Shiji, did not dare to speak up one by one.
This time. There is also a royal history in the imperial history platform, "Qi plays His Majesty." The minister has this impeachment, and the minister impeached the left guard general Yuan Min, the right guard general Yuan Guan, and the left servant shot Gao Gong, and communicated with the world, and received the gift of his famous horse. ”
Gao Gong and the three were all in the palace at this time, and when they heard the impeachment, they didn't dare to defend, so they all got up and knelt down to ask the emperor for their guilt.
"Yuan Min and Yuan Zhou were removed from their official positions, and handed over to Dali Temple for review, and Shangshu's left servant shot Gao Gong openly accepted bribes from generals and famous horses. But remembering his meritorious deeds, I have worked for the court for many years, I forgive you for the crime of accepting bribes from ministers, and thank you for your merits in working hard for the court for many years. The emperor directly removed the two Praetorian Guards generals from their posts in court, and then first convicted Gao Gong of taking bribes, and then publicly pardoned him.
Not only that, Yang Jian also issued a special decree in court, and issued an edict to add the title of Gao Gongzheng's first-class scattered official Guangluqing, and add the title of Taishi of the third division. 3,000 horses of silk were given, and 500 households were added to the number of households, which together with the front seal, reached 2,000. In addition, considering that Gao Gong was old and had foot disease, he gave Lingshou a wooden cane, and gave him ten good horses and a four-wheeled carriage for driving. It is also specially decreed that Gao Gong does not have to go to the court and to the council of Shangshu Province every day, and is specially allowed to go to Shangshu every three days to deal with affairs. And let the officials of Shangshu Province henceforth be non-militaristic affairs. Generally, the general government does not have to bother to deal with it.
After listening to the emperor's long words, Yuan Min and Yuan Zhou softened on the spot. Collapsed into a ball. Although the emperor did not directly condemn them, they knew it. The emperor directly dismissed them from his post in the court and handed them over to Dali Temple, their fate was already doomed, and there was no chance of turning over like Wang Shiji.
Gao Gong knelt down and thanked him, his body lay there for a long time and did not get up, all the strength in his body was gone, and there was no half strength in his body.
His strength vanished like his power, and the emperor had just announced the end of his political life. Although the emperor said it well, he pardoned him for the crime of accepting bribes, and also gave many seals at once. But in fact, the emperor unmistakably drove him out of the power center of the Great Sui. said that he was old and what he recited was high, but in fact, Gao Gong and the emperor were born in the same year, and even the birth month was a few months later. But now the emperor kicked him out of the court on the grounds of his old age and leg disease.
The so-called title of Jiatai Division, the dissolution of Guangluqing, and even the increase in food and silk to Caijuan, these can't hide the fact that the emperor told him to get out.
The so-called excuse that he does not need to go to Shangshu Province every day to attend the Shangshu Province and allow him to go to Shangshu Province once every three days to handle official business is actually depriving him of his rights as prime minister. Especially the last sentence, if it is not a militaristic matter, there is no need to bother him with ordinary affairs. In fact, it means that from now on, the daily affairs of Shangshu Province will not be handled by him, and when it comes to important military affairs, he seems to be qualified to deal with them, but in fact, such important military affairs, even if he is the prime minister, he has no real right to deal with them. These major matters were discussed by the three provinces and six ministries together with the emperor, and finally handed over to the emperor to decide. In this way, although the emperor did not remove him from the post of prime minister, in fact he had become an empty prime minister.
With a holy decree, the emperor raised him high, and from then on he could only be a spectator.
Yang Jian leaned forward, his fingers touched the cold gold, and under his fingers were pieces of dragon scales, uneven and uneven. He held it hard, but his heart was colder and harder than the cold golden dragon chair. Emperor Chrysostom said that the export became a decree, and Gao Gong was no longer suitable to be his prime minister.
"Thank you, old minister!" Gao Gong lay on the ground and said in a choked voice.
The eyes in the hall looked at the back of the many clumsy people at that moment, with mixed tastes, but everyone understood that an old era had ended.
The era of Gao Gong is over, who will lead the new era? Many people are thinking about this question, is it the right servant shooting Yang Su, or the king of Jin Yang Guang, or the king of Zhao Yang Lin who is quietly watching from the sidelines?
