The so-called three fires for new officials to take office, and when new officials begin to take up their new duties, they must first do two or three things that are beneficial to the people. To put it bluntly, they are to give people authority and establish their own authority, and they often take the opportunity to install their own people with the help of dissidents. Some officials who have newly taken office with three fires are to show their determination and do a few things to show their ability and their determination to eliminate the evils of the times, and some are still the same as before.

Yi Feng's new monarch ascended the throne, and the entire government and the opposition were watching the new monarch, wanting to see what the first three things the new monarch did after ascending the throne, so as to ponder the attitude of the new monarch. Yi Feng himself was actually thinking about how to burn these three fires after he ascended the throne before he ascended the throne. It is necessary not only to burn out the momentum and momentum, but also to burn the effect. Not only does it have to look good, but it also has to be useful.

On this day, Liu Wenjing, who was next to Yi Feng, reminded Yi Feng, "Your Majesty, Shangshu Province has reported the results of the disposition of the reverse case, how does Your Majesty plan to deal with it?" ”

"Hmm." Yi Feng pondered for a moment and said, "The reverse case reported by Gao Gong and others has been decided, and they mean to use heavy codes to deal with all those who participate in the rebellion. For Yang Xiu and Yang Guanger, they were included in the biography of the rebels, and at the same time, the sons of the concubines were all punished by the Ming Dynasty, the wives and concubines were assigned to the Shaofu, all the property was confiscated, and the slaves were confiscated. For the rest of the rebels, the main person who rebels against the party will be punished ≦ the same crime as the second rebel king, he will be killed, his descendants will be executed for the same crime, his wife and concubine will be assigned to the Shaofu, and all the slaves' land and property will be confiscated. In addition, the rest of those implicated in this case, including those who accept official titles from the puppet dynasty and those who are within three generations of the direct family of the same clan, will be deprived of their official titles and titles."

"Your Majesty is not satisfied with the outcome of this trial?" Liu Wenjing asked. "The minister feels that he really needs to use heavy punishment for betraying the party, not to mention that His Majesty can also take this opportunity. Clean up the court. ”

Yi Feng understood what Liu Wenjing meant, because the Northern Zhou Dynasty was the successor of the Western Wei Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty was also influenced by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but in general, in fact, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty were actually established by a group of martial artists in the Wuchuan Military Town in the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the end, three dynasties change. The royal family has changed three families, but in fact, it is still based on the Guanlong Group as the core. Whether it is the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty or the Sui Dynasty, the emperor is high, but the Guanlong military aristocratic group composed of Wuchuan soldiers and Longyou heroes is extremely powerful. It is so big that it has deeply affected the situation of the dynasty, even if it has been 19 years since Sui Liguo, he still can't get rid of the Guanlong group, and even more and more under the constraints of this huge force.

After Gaozu received Zen, he has been committed to centralizing power. It has been nearly 20 years since the imperial power was strengthened, although it has also passed several major cases and suppressed several large clans. But there are constantly new aristocratic gate valves, and in fact the situation has not changed much. The country is from the inside out, from the top to the bottom. In all aspects, there is the shadow of Guanlong Group. At the beginning, Yang Guang, Yang Yong, Yang Xiu and even Yang Liang. Behind them, in fact, there are many Guanlong giants standing behind them. Some giants even bet on multiple sides.

Only Yi Feng rises from the wilderness. The rise was very fast, and the beginning was mainly based on the Kwantung people, and later, although many Guanlong aristocratic and wealthy forces were also introduced as allies, but in the new emperor's descendants, the influence of the Guanlong group was much smaller.

The emperors of the Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and Sui dynasties were actually emperors and the Guanlong group who ruled the world together.

If Yi Feng really wanted to take full control of this dynasty and let him follow his direction, then he would have to get rid of this extremely large force. And the opportunity to clean up that Liu Wenjing refers to is also referring to this reverse case to justifiably carry out a big cleansing.

"The Changsun family, after the Northern Wei Dynasty, is a family in the core of the Guanlong Group, and it is very powerful. In this dynasty, because he once firmly supported Gaozu Zhou, he won the trust of Gaozu, and later Gaozu was the daughter of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, to marry the eldest grandson Lan, and the two families married together, and the relationship was more stable. Over the years, the eldest grandson clan has developed rapidly, with continuous marriages, deep-rooted family power, and countless children who are officials in the court. The last time Yang Xiu rebelled, the eldest grandson family firmly stood on Yang Xiu's side, and his family was crowned eight princes by Yang Xiu, and there were more than 500 sons and daughters. The minister thought that the eldest grandson could be punished. ”

"Changsun Sheng still has a credit for the court." Yi Feng said that Changsun Sheng is the nephew of Changsun Lan, the cousin of Changsun Hong, and the younger brother of Changsun Chi. The eldest grandson, Hong, and Changsun Sheng, are all descendants of the eldest grandson of the Shangdang king, and the family is flourishing and has many descendants. And almost all of them are in important positions, even if they don't count Yang Xiufeng's titles and official positions, even those of Gaozu Yang Jian are also extremely prominent. Not to mention that Changsun Sheng's father is also a county magistrate, and Changsun Sheng's eldest brother, Changsun Chi, served as the servant of the Sui Dynasty's Ministry of Officials, the Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the General of Zuo Houwei. This family is indeed a core family in the Guanlong Group, but Changsun Sheng is quite talented in diplomacy, and his martial arts are outstanding, and it is from him that he kills two birds with one stone. And Changsun Sheng has long had dealings with Yi Feng, so Yi Feng also deliberately mentioned Changsun Sheng, not to mention that Changsun Sheng is most famous in history not for his archery skills or his outstanding ability to envoy diplomacy, but because he gave birth to a daughter, and later became Li Shimin's queen, a famous virtuous queen in history. Of course, at this time, Li Shimin was not yet a year old, and the eldest grandson had not yet been born.

"Then you can pardon Changsun Sheng and not be implicated." Liu Wenjing said.

Liu Wenjing knew that Yi Feng was not very satisfied with the Guanlong Group for a long time, this was not that the emperor had a holiday with any family of the Guanlong Group, but in fact, as a promising king, he was absolutely unwilling to share his power with those wealthy nobles, and even had to be restrained by them everywhere, which was an irreconcilable contradiction at all.

grasped this, so Liu Wenjing was quite open-minded.

He proposed to Yi Feng that he should take this opportunity to divide the Guanlong group, win over a group, unite a group, and suppress a group. To win over a group, it is to first win over some people who have no opportunity and no reason to move for the time being, such as Gao Gong, Yang Su, Liu Shu, Su Wei and other major figures in the current dynasty, and then unite a group of people, unite the Li Yuan family of Tang Guogong, the mother of the new emperor, the Empress Dowager Yuan family, the wife family Li Changya, Li Mi family, Princess Guangping and the Yuwenxie family, and then suppress a group, naturally those families who are on the wrong side this time, such as the eldest grandson Lan family, Dou Kang, and Yuan Heng family who support Yang Xiu, and the Wei Chong family, Yang Hong family, and Yu Wenshu, Guo Yan, and Zhang Heng, Duan Da and other families, in addition to people such as Shi Wansui, Su Wei, Li Hun and others have also followed the second rebellion, so they can also be appropriately suppressed. In short, this is a rare opportunity, even if they take action to deal with them, such as Gao Gong, Yang Su and others, they will definitely not stand up against them.

Although Liu Wenjing's Jianyì is very poisonous and ruthless, it is indeed a way to suppress the Guanlong Group, which is becoming more and more powerful. Even if you can't cure the root cause, you can treat the symptoms first.

"This construction of yours is good, I will consider it." Yi Feng nodded. Yi Feng decided to take action against the Guanlong nobles, of course, it was only a purge of the families who stood on the wrong side last time, and it would not expand the scope indefinitely, causing everyone in the entire Guanlong nobles to be in danger, and then rebelling en masse. Yi Feng finally decided to deal with them at this time, or because he controlled the army.

Before ascending to the throne, hundreds of thousands of troops in the Gyeonggi region had completed their initial reorganization. 300,000 people were disarmed and returned to the field, and 200,000 strong people were selected to be incorporated into the Seventh Guard and Tenth Army of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. It can be said that in the Gyeonggi area, it is difficult for these nobles to make any moves for the time being. In particular, Yi Feng singled out the most elite 200,000 people from various armies to join the Beiya, and he also used a ruthless move, he only needed 200,000 soldiers, and he didn't ask for a single officer with a grade. Only 200,000 soldiers were selected, and then these soldiers were scattered and organized into the various departments of the Seventh Guard and Tenth Army of the Northern Ya. The most powerful thing about the Guanlong group is that they occupy the central and local areas of the imperial court and even in various places in the army, and there are their people everywhere. Especially in the army, the Guanlong group has a deep grasp of the army. And Yi Feng's army is self-contained, and there is no room for them to interfere at all. A small number of children of the Guanlong Group are also of the same mind as Yi Feng, and they do not occupy many core positions.

After controlling the military power, Yi Feng had enough reliance to carry out this limited purge.

After a deep groan, Yi Feng said to Liu Wenjing, "Deal with the clan first, and then come to liquidate these families." ”

On the same day, Yi Feng issued an edict that only the descendants of Emperor Taizu could be crowned kings, and the rest of the clans could only be crowned princes of the country. In the edict, Yi Feng re-knighted the clans that were not the descendants of Emperor Taizu, such as Yang Xiong, the king of Qingzhang, and other clans, and Yang Xiong, who had a very high prestige in the clan and stood firmly on the side of the new emperor last time, was finally named the Duke of Ye Guo. Yang Xiong is also the only one in the clan who is not the descendant of Taizu who has been awarded the title of Duke of the Kingdom, and the rest are mostly county dukes, county dukes and even founding marquis, uncles or sons. Moreover, Yi Feng's resealing, each branch of the clan only seals the eldest son of the branch, and the rest of the sons are not sealed, regardless of the concubine, but there is a qualification for the children of high-ranking officials such as the third grade. And Yi Feng is also quite decisive for the children of Taizu Gaozu, after Gaozu Yang Jian sealed all the heirs of his four brothers to the southwest, Yi Feng simply dealt with the descendants of Taizu Yang Zhong's five sons except for him this time, and all the kings in one go. From the ten sons of Yang Jun, the king of Qin, to Yang Yong, they were all feudal to the southeast frontier. For the sons of Yang Guang and Yang Xiu, they were all saved from death, but they were all abolished as concubines, and they were all sent to the northwest frontier as commoners, and all the property slaves of the second rebel king were confiscated.

The edict announced that those who were demoted out of the capital and the countries that were divided into feudal vassals on the frontier did not dare to stay longer under the urging of the warriors of the Yulin Army, and all of them left the capital one after another. And the clans that remained in the capital were all stripped of their royal titles.

In addition to the Great Sui Emperor, there is not even a king among the Jingshi. (To be continued......)
