issued such an edict, Yi Feng also thought hard for a long time, the so-called people's hearts, not this way, the people have benefits, life can be good, and naturally they will support you. Moreover, the awarding of honors and the immigrations on the border is not only a reward for taking fields, but also a decree such as a tong guò and a reasonable redistribution, which not only solves social contradictions, but also strengthens the strength of the imperial court and strengthens the control of the border passes. Pioneering and enterprising, it is the style of the Han nationality that has been constantly developing, with the characteristics of the Han culture, constantly opening up the frontier, assimilating one after another Huyi tribes, and transforming them into a member of the Han nation.

An award, buying countless soldiers, an immigrant granting order, and at the same time winning the support of hundreds of people and farmers, this is what Yi Feng pursues. If we want to make the nation rich and strong, we cannot do it at the expense of the people's suffering. Just like Yang Guang in history, Yi Feng actually thinks that he is a good emperor, diligent and idealistic, but what he did, although he once made the Great Sui Wei and the United States become the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, but it made the country strong and the people poor, and the result was that the United Kingdom was boiling, and the common people were vying to rebel.

Gao Gong was very annoyed that the crown prince bypassed him again and directly announced the edict.

But when he listened carefully to the two edicts, he was silent. If you want to refute it, it is to go against hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of millions of people. These two edicts of the crown prince are indeed a move to buy people's hearts, but the people manage so much, and it is good to receive benefits, and they will support them and be happy. Just like when Yang Jian usurped Zhou, he also won the world's injustice, and killed the Yuwen clan after he came to ⊕power, but because of the policies he promulgated later, it was good and beneficial to the people of the world. Those people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were usurped by Yang Jian, and the people of Southern Chen who were destroyed by Yang Jian. The people of Western Liang, who were annexed by the Sui Dynasty, quickly accepted it. even fully supported Yang Jian and called him the son of Saint Tomorrow.

Knowing that you can't do it, it's not the work of a wise man. Although he was extremely unhappy, Gao Gong endured it in the end.

The prince acts, he is too powerful, he can always come up with such a powerful killing move, he always acts unexpectedly, and he always has no flaws.

In fact, Yi Feng also has a big move, which is specially used to win over the world's readers. It is to promote the imperial examination. Although later generations know that the promotion of the imperial examination has greatly suppressed the wealthy families of the noble clan, put an end to their political monopoly privileges, and allowed the common people to have the opportunity to enter the officialdom and enter the official career. But that was only a later thing, in fact, in this era, there are really very few scholars who are born in non-aristocratic and powerful landlords. Even if Yi Feng is now implementing the imperial examination. Then the biggest benefit is still those wealthy families who monopolize the scriptures, and the small and medium-sized landlord class can only be regarded as a little light, and there are cracks for them to squeeze in, and ordinary people. They can't afford to read books, they can't afford paper and ink, and how can they have the opportunity to take the imperial examination. Chance of getting good grades?

Therefore, Yi Feng believes that the imperial examination will be launched. It does not necessarily immediately win the resolute opposition of all the wealthy families. After all, history clearly proves that in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, when the imperial examination really began. It was actually those wealthy families who monopolized the imperial examination.

However, Yi Feng didn't plan to be in a hurry, and when he arrived in Luoyang, he couldn't take his time. There is definitely resistance, and the key is how it works.

After the banquet that day, Yi Feng personally held a grand award ceremony in the suburbs of Taiyuan.

All the recipients received a medal and a sword, as well as a certificate of honour.

Yi Feng personally selected a hundred meritorious authors from tens of thousands of honored persons, including senior generals and small soldiers, but they were all extremely outstanding. Yi Feng personally awarded them the medal, in front of the more than 200,000 people who attended the ceremony that day. The hundred people who were awarded the honor by Yi Feng couldn't help but be extremely excited, such as Li Jing, a general, who was better, after all, he was born in a nobleman, and he had been an official in the court, and he had fought so many beautiful battles at the border pass, and when he patted him on the shoulder with a friendly smile, he just replied with a smile. And when Yi Feng handed over a cavalry knife-style sword to an ordinary soldier, the black and strong thick man burst into tears of excitement, and his voice was choked when he thanked him. For him, who was born in the mountains and hunters, the crown prince is a fairy-like figure high above the clouds. For these small people in the mountains and wilderness, the imperial power and heavenly power really dare not look up. And now the crown prince not only stood in front of him personally, but also awarded him a sword and three medals, and gave him a medal, this glory is simply the glory of the ancestors, and the ancestors have green smoke on the graves.

For this excited and uncontrollable black man, Yi Feng always smiled, and deliberately stayed for a while, patted him on the shoulder, and praised him warmly, and finally, Yi Feng even announced in public that he would be selected as a member of the Eight Rank Guards in the Beiya Qin Xun Yi Guard. This appointment made the soldiers on the spot jealous and envious with excitement, and the black man was even more excited to kneel on the ground and refuse to get up, and kept kowtowing. Before joining the war, he was just a small soldier of Hedong Prefecture, but now he has suddenly become an eight-rank official, and even became the crown prince's close guard, what a glory. Originally, only the children of the rank officials could serve as the guard, but the crown prince actually awarded it to him.

Gao Gong has been sitting on the stage, watching the crown prince's performances. Yes, Gao Gong thinks that these behaviors of the crown prince are just performances, performances. I have to admit that the crown prince is very good at acting, he used to think that King Jin could act, but now it seems that the blue is blue, this illegitimate son of Yang Guang is more capable of acting than Yang Guang. Look at the present, the crown prince just smiles, pats the recipient on the shoulder, and says some words of appreciation, or promotes a petty official unusually, and he can immediately win the gratitude of the recipients on the stage, and even those soldiers in the audience are all enthusiastic, and regard themselves as people on the stage.

That's great, it's amazing. The longer Gao Gong has been in contact with the crown prince, the more he can't admit in his heart that the prince is really powerful. Thinking of the prince's successive actions these days, and the suffocation he ate, he couldn't help but feel that he was not wronged to lose.

After the lively award, He Ruobi officially swore that the commander of the army went south, and the rest of the southern army began to receive rich rewards one after another, and began to happily carry packages to return to their hometowns in groups, and the people also received many rewards and went home happily.

Taiyuan scattered hundreds of thousands of people at once.

At this time, the Northern Yajun Army had also packed up and began to move south one after another to receive the Kwantung states.

"Your Highness, Liaoxi Urgent." Li Mi hurriedly came in to report. Yi Feng was reading a book, nodded at him, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Wei Shichong, the governor of Yingzhou, refused to leave Yingzhou, and Wei Chong also colluded with Goguryeo and was leading the king of Goguryeo to send troops."

Yi Feng put down the book, "Wei Shichong is so bold, it seems that he is resolutely standing on Yang Guang's side, has Goguryeo sent troops?" ”

"According to the news sent back by the Supervision Yuan, Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, led 80,000 horsemen and crossed the Liao River and entered Yingzhou in western Liao."

Yi Feng slammed his fist on the desk, which was something he didn't expect. He was deliberately guarding against Wei Shichong, but he didn't expect that the thing he didn't want to see happened again, and it was even worse than he imagined. Wei Shichong not only refused to listen to the edict and refused to leave Yingzhou, but also colluded with foreigners. Gao Yuan, who invaded the border last year, attracted Yang Jian to send an army of 300,000 to conquer, but because of insufficient preparation, the Liao army was defeated before the war with Goguryeo. But even so, Gao Yuan was still scared to death when he saw that the Sui Dynasty really sent a large army to the east, and finally had to write a letter calling himself Liaodong Dung Tu Chen Yuan, claiming that the minister was guilty. Unexpectedly, how long has it been, Gao Yuan has become so bold again. I actually wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains to fish in troubled waters.

Damn it.

"Immediately ordered Luo Yi and Fang Qiao to let them temporarily retreat, hold the Chongqing Pass first, and don't let the rebels step into the pass. The imperial court will immediately dispatch troops and horses to fight the thief. Yi Feng immediately made a decision, originally thought that it would be enough to have Luo Yi and Fang Qiao, but now that Goguryeo has sent 80,000 troops to cross the Liao River, Luo Yi and Fang Qiao will not be enough. Now the top priority is not to take Yingzhou, but to first hold the Shanhaiguan, at this time it is called the Guancheng of Yuguan, and they cannot be allowed to attack the Hebei Plain.

"Who will be sent to defend against the enemy?" Li Mi asked.

"Let Li Jing go." Yi Feng thought about it, and finally felt that Li Jing was the most reliable, "Let the Hanlin Academy draw up an edict, transfer the prince Zuo Yuhou rate, and the general Li Jing of the Northern Ya Zuo Shenwei Wei as the marshal of the Eastern Expeditionary Camp, and transfer Yang Yichen and Li Yuan to serve as the marching commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army Shi and the marching Sima respectively, and transfer 100,000 soldiers and horses from the Northern Ya and the Border Ya, and send an edict to Sanfan, so that they can cooperate with the troops and fight against the rebellion of Liaoxi." ”

After the edict was issued, Gao Gong and Han Seng Shou rushed to meet Yi Feng.

"Your Highness, I heard that Wei Chong of Yingzhou colluded with Goguryeo, and Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, has crossed the Liao River with 80,000 foot horses?"

"Well, I have already sent Li Jing as the marshal to mobilize 100,000 cavalry from the Northern and Border Offices to quell the rebellion."

"Your Highness, the old minister thinks that the people from Goguryeo are not good, and they must not be careless to underestimate the enemy, at this time, there must be no mistakes in the rear, it is better to immediately recruit the soldiers and horses of the Southern Ya to assemble and prepare early." Gao Gong Road.

Yi Feng shook his head, "It's not enough to have 80,000 horses in Goguryeo. Although the Eastern Crusade failed last year, it was not because of how strong Goguryeo was, but because of the lack of preparation at that time. Besides, this time it was Goguryeo who attacked, and it was fighting on the territory of our Great Sui, so it had a local advantage. Li Jing and 100,000 soldiers and horses are enough, not to mention that I also sent an order to Sanfan to send troops to cooperate. ”

Han Seng Shou said, "The minister asked to go to Liaoxi to defend against Goguryeo. ”

"Kill with a knife, you are the privy deputy envoy of the imperial court, and now He Ruo's deputy envoy is leading the troops south, and the court needs an old commander like you to guard it. The imperial court is about to move to Luoyang, and you still need to contribute more in terms of scheduling. Yi Feng lightly rejected Han Sengshou's request with a few words.

Although Goguryeo's dispatch of troops was unexpected, Yi Feng did not intend to change his plans.

"Three days later, move to Luoyang as planned!" (To be continued......)
