Chapter 527: I Want to Be an Emperor

(Thank you for your support in flying in the sky and wandering with the snail, thank you!) )

Located in the old mansion of Jing'an Fang in the nine or five of the six masters of Daxing City, this was originally the Taisun Mansion given to Yi Feng by Gaozu, but when Yi Feng left Beijing, Taisun Mansion had just begun to build, this area of more than 300 acres of the whole square was built Taisun Mansion, Taisun Mansion was just built, Yang Xiu killed the monarch and usurped the throne and then the world was in turmoil, and when Yi Feng returned to Daxing City, he was already His Royal Highness the Prince, and directly lived in the Daxing Palace Ganlu Palace. But today, Yi Feng held a banquet in the old mansion of Jing'anfang and invited the ministers here.

Inside the house, the lights are brilliant, and there are lights everywhere, and everyone's faces are filled with a festive atmosphere. Especially those generals who are nostalgic for famine, they are even more happy. Yi Shuai is already the crown prince and is about to become the emperor, so they will naturally follow the chicken dog to heaven. Everyone has a merit from the dragon, and they are about to rise to the top, be crowned an official and worship a knight, and shine on the lintel, who can not be happy.

However, today's banquet is not only attended by the Huaihuang department, but even in the seats, at the front, under the crown prince are Gao Gong and Yang Su. Then there are He Ruobi, Han Sengshou, Shi Wansui, Yu Wenhua, Su Wei, Niu Hong, Yang Xiong and other important ministers of the court.

After Yi Feng entered Daxing, among the princely sects under him, there were arrangements for these people. In the edict published by the Hanlin Academy, the pattern of the imperial court has not changed much, Gao Gong is the Shangshu Order of Shangshu Province, Yang Su is the left servant of Shangshu Province, and Su Wei is the right servant of Shangshu Province. Niu Hong is the secretary of the ministry, Su Xiaoci is the secretary of the military department, Yu Wenkai is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Shu is the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Shi Wansui is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Hun is the secretary of the criminal department. He Ruobi and Han Seng Shou were privy deputy envoys. There has been an edict for this edict, whether it has been appointed or not. I have some numbers in my heart, knowing that this is also the prince's move to calm people's hearts when he newly entered the Beijing Division. Next. What should be on will still be on the meeting, and what should be on will still be down. However, whether you can keep your position, or you don't have a chance to find a chance to go up, it depends on everyone's next ability.

Yi Feng started to move on the left and right, and arranged the left high Gong and the right Yang Su. Gao Gong relied on the opportunity of the Yanmen Pass to welcome the beginning, and there will definitely be a place in the new dynasty. And Yang Su is also extraordinary this time, although he has always been from Yang Guang's line, but after Yang Guang became emperor. He was quite keenly aware that Yang Guang had no advantage, so he kept silent, and when the situation became clearer, he took the initiative to vote for the prince quite decisively. Not only did he stand on the right side at a critical time, but he also performed well after that, defeating Shi Wanzai twice, waving his troops into Guanzhong first, and being the first to take Chang'an. Regardless of the fact that taking Guanzhong did not have much impact on Yang Xiu's defeat, he was still an extremely eye-catching figure among the important ministers of the old dynasty. As soon as the prince entered the Beijing Division. Immediately named him the left servant. This is what he always wanted but failed to get when he led the Northern Expedition.

Although he successfully sat in the position of left servant, Yang Su knew that he was not the prince's descendant, and his old opponent Gao Gong. Now he has also been promoted one step higher again, becoming Shang Shuling Jia Taifu, and Gao Gong of the entire Great Sui Dynasty is still the first courtier to hold this position. That joy was also immediately diminished a lot. At the same time, seeing that the prince's descendants are not now in important positions in the imperial court, Yang Su is also in crisis. The prince's henchmen have not yet come. It doesn't mean they won't come, but just waiting for a better opportunity. Maybe then. The crown prince will completely replace these old ministers with his own henchmen. As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, Yang Su feels that he is still young, and he does not want to quit the center of power, he needs to win the trust and reuse of the new monarch.

"Your Highness, what should you do with the family members and subordinates of the King of Jin and the King of Shu?" Yang Su asked Yi Feng.

When Gao Gong heard Yang Su raise such an important question, he immediately cheered up and tried to listen to Yang Lin's reaction.

"If you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, it will happen again in next spring." Liu Shu immediately continued, he was originally a party of the old prince, and now the new prince is also a member of the old prince's line, but it is different after all. During Yang Xiu's usurpation and occupation of Guanzhong, he was very tough and resolutely refused to meet Yang Xiu. Because he was the husband of Yang Xiu's fifth sister, Princess Lanling, in the end, Yang Xiu only removed him from his official position and did not do anything to him. Now that the new prince is in charge of the dynasty, Liu Shu immediately felt that the opportunity had come, especially the experience that Yang Xiu was unwilling to go out during the period when he occupied Guanzhong, and he felt that it was a good place to show the new prince. As soon as he heard Yang Su talk about the disposition of the two anti-kings, he immediately expressed his extreme toughness.

"Your Highness, the minister thinks that they must not be spared, these people are helping to abuse, and they should be punished, and they will not be part of the family. Please do not have the kindness of a woman, and make a decision early to set an example. ”

Shi Wansui listened to it on the side, his face was a little unsightly, he was originally an old princeling, but after Yang Xiu usurped the throne and occupied Guanzhong, he was moved by Yang Xiu's chips for a while, and he switched to Yang Xiu's side for the title of a right servant and the Duke of Wu. In the end, he took the initiative to attack Yang Su, but was defeated twice. Fortunately, there are some capable people under him, who analyzed the trend of the situation and thought that Yang Lin would win in the end, and he also decisively surrendered to Yang Su, which can be regarded as turning back to the prince's line. Now it is proved that his original decision was correct, but after all, it was also a detour. Now when I heard Liu say that he wanted to liquidate the rebel party, he was immediately unhappy. "Your Highness, plotting for the community and disrupting the country, the crime is in the second culprit. The two murderers were ambushed, and their subordinates were just following the wrong person, and they were never at fault, and besides, many people immediately changed their ways. Now His Royal Highness is lenient and unwilling to pursue it, which is a good thing, benevolent government. If you blindly investigate the implication, I am afraid that this newly stable world will be turbulent again. ”

Yi Feng smiled with his wine glass, although he didn't want to make a big killing, but Shi Wansui's ass was not right, and now that he said something like this, this guy was already a little ignorant of current affairs. If you want to say this, it shouldn't be up to him, the person who stood on the wrong side and followed the wrong person before, he is standing up now, is he trying to say that if he doesn't forgive, he will rebel? Sure enough, he was a reckless man.

Yang Su had been quietly watching Yi Feng's reaction, and when he saw the disdain in Yi Feng's eyes when he heard Shi Wansui's words, he immediately felt that he had caught something. After thinking about it, Yang Su immediately continued, "Your Highness, the minister thinks. Although His Highness is kind to the opposition party, he should not be too lenient. Otherwise, it will become appeasement, and those people are afraid that not only will they not know repentance. On the contrary, it will be more lucky. For those who oppose the party, the ministers think that they should be distinguished, and those who oppose the party backbone should be severely punished and publicly executed to set an example. For those ordinary subordinates who oppose the party, they can be dismissed from office, and sent back to their hometown to be placed under the management of local officials. Those who are a little stricter can also be assigned to the frontier, as well as confiscate property, etc. ”

Shi Wansui and Yang Su's words are immediate. Shi Wansui is completely nonsense, and he doesn't care about his identity. But Yang Su is different, what he said is really considered from the operational level, and at the same time, it is indeed for the sake of the prince. For the opposition party, it should be dealt with separately, that is, to win over a group, defeat a group, and divide a group. This can not only solve the potential threat of a large group of former opposition party officials, but also avoid triggering strong contradictions and causing incidents again. What Yang Su said was actually what Yi Feng and his henchmen were considering.

For Yang Xiu and Yang Guang. It's definitely going to be dealt with. However, how to deal with it and where the boundaries of handling it are cannot be determined immediately. After all, although the rebellion lasted only three months, the people who participated in the rebellion occupied two-thirds of the imperial court at that time.

"Taifu is thoughtful. When I look back on this matter, I can write me a detailed recital, and I will refer to it carefully. Yi Feng smiled and said to Yang Su. Yang Su, this guy is as dangerous as a king cobra. But at present, the imperial court is still in a period of smooth transition, and the court still has to keep this group of people. Otherwise, he would have kicked them down all at once, and he was not fully prepared to take over, and there would definitely be chaos when he turned around. For the sake of the overall situation, it is also necessary to temporarily live with the light and dust. Since this is the case, then a proper appreciation of Yang Su can also allow him and Gao Gong to check and balance each other.

"How to deal with the families of Jin Mansion and Shu Mansion?" Liu Shu saw that his mention was refuted, and he was a little disappointed at the moment. He thought that the new prince would definitely want to get rid of the trouble, but who would have thought that he would slap his palm on the horse's hooves.

"Yang Xiu killed the monarch and killed his father, plotted to usurp the throne, the crime is unforgivable, but he is dead, and his son is still young, so I plan to forgive them, Yang Xiu's sons are all abolished as concubines, demoted from the Beijing Division, and sent to the northeast frontier to reclaim the barren tuntian, and from then on he will be a common man of the Great Sui, and he will no longer have to be involved in the imperial court politics. As for Yang Xiu's wives and concubines, they each went back to their parents' homes and allowed them to remarry, and Yang Xiu's daughters stayed in Beijing and were raised in the palace, and when they became adults, the royal family would choose a husband and son-in-law for them to marry. Yi Feng said his plan. Yang Xiu's sons, the eldest of whom was born with the eldest grandson of the princess, was only ten years old, and the younger ones were only a few years old. For these little children, he really can't do it. But he was unwilling to divide the feudal state with them as the Empress Dowager Dugu proposed. Even if the current feudal state will not be too threatening, Yi Feng doesn't want the sons of these rebellious anti-kings to become the vassal kings of the Great Sui. How can there be such a cheap thing, and then won't it encourage others to rebel in the future? It is already a great mercy to be abolished as a commoner, and sent to the frontier to be an ordinary farmer, under the care of local officials.

"His Royal Highness is merciful, but the minister is still Yang Xiu's wife and concubine, and his daughter can be spared death, but his son cannot be let go, and must be killed, otherwise there will be endless trouble. In addition, the eldest grandson clan is also guilty of crimes and should be investigated together. "Liu Shu, this uncle, is merciless to his nephews, and he has to kill them.

Gao Gong, who had not spoken all this time, also spoke up at this time, "Your Highness, the minister thinks that Mingjun should be benevolent, but he can't be soft when he should be strict." Killing the monarch and plotting rebellion, these are the most heinous and unforgivable crimes, and there are detailed rules for dealing with them in the emperor's law, and His Royal Highness's benevolence can be to all the people in the world, but not to them. The old minister thought that if he did not kill the sons of the two anti-kings, it would not be enough to calm the hearts of the people in the world and not enough to re-establish the order of the court. Not only should Yang Xiu's sons be killed, but Yang Guang's son Yang Jian must also be killed, and the killing will be punished by the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Since there is a code of laws and regulations of the imperial court, then the matter of going against the party will be handed over to the Shangshu Province, and the three departments of Yushitai, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple will jointly sponsor it, and then play it after you come up with a resolution, and finally make a resolution." Yi Feng seemingly casually handed over the important matter of how to deal with the opposition to the party to Gao Gong and Yang Su, and asked them to be responsible for leading the three departments to hear the case. But he didn't completely let go, and after they tried it, they still had to go to Yi Feng to make a final decision. As long as it can't match Yi Feng's ideas, then he can veto the result of their disposal at any time. But Yi Feng did not directly deal with this case by himself, and it was also very internal, let Gao Gong and other old ministers deal with it, this is to provoke an infighting among the original factions, so that Yi Feng's family can be transcendent, in short, they are referees themselves, and let them all go down to fight.

After receiving the prince's delegation of the power to deal with the reverse case to Shangshu Province, Gao Gong and Yang Su were extremely excited.

Yang Su even took the opportunity to say, "Yesterday, the Queen Mother summoned the ministers into the palace and said to the ministers that Her Majesty is located in His Royal Highness. The minister was ordered by the Queen Mother to visit Her Majesty, and when she mentioned this matter, Her Majesty also said that His Royal Highness handled state affairs, and everything was good. His Majesty therefore intends to add the title of Emperor Taishang, which is passed on to His Royal Highness. ”

Gao Gong didn't expect Yang Su to be so fast, and he had already taken the first step to let the emperor take the throne, and he was one step behind in this matter.

Yi Feng nodded, "The Queen Mother and the Emperor have also summoned me and mentioned this matter to me, although the responsibility is heavy, but neither the Queen Mother nor His Majesty will allow me to refuse." The secretary of the province, Tai Shi Cao, has chosen an auspicious day, which is on the sixth day of the first month of this month. ”

At the beginning of August, there were only five days left. Gao Gong and Yang Su were secretly surprised, knowing that the prince was anxious, but they didn't expect the prince to be so anxious, and he really didn't want to wait for a day. However, since the prince has already spoken directly to this, they can't talk about the difficulties, no matter what, they have to prepare for this Zen ceremony with their teeth gritted, and they can't be too late. If this meditation makes the ceremony even a little late, I am afraid that their future future will be completely over.

Yi Feng was indeed in a hurry, and he didn't have time to drag this matter down. The sooner you ascend to the throne, the sooner you can sort out the imperial court. Although Yang Xiu and Yang Guang'er were pacified, the world was not peaceful. In western Liaoning, the king of Goguryeo, Gao Yuan, also entrenched in Yingzhou with 80,000 Goguryeo cavalry, eyeing Youyan and relying on Li Jing's troops to defend Yuguan. The previous Northern Expedition was abandoned halfway, although the main Turkic force was defeated, but the more important results have not yet been picked, and this ripe fruit cannot be picked by others like this.

In short, there are still too many things to do, and Yi Feng has no time to play any hypocrisy with them. He didn't want to hide anything, he just wanted to tell everyone, I want to be the emperor! (To be continued......) R1292
