Chapter 378: Dark Arrow

(Thank you for the ferret~ kill, another day has passed, 18991899 your support, thank you!) )

On the nineteenth day of the first month of the nineteenth year of the emperor's reign, Shangshu Province issued two edicts in succession, clarifying that all the military governors and prefectures in the frontier of the Great Sui were subordinate to the six governorships of Yang, Jingyouyi, and Qin, and announced the six princes and grandsons of the clan who had declared the town.

The Yangzhou Grand Governor's Office has jurisdiction over the military affairs of the 44 prefectures of Jianghuai, the Great Governor's Office of the Prefecture has jurisdiction over the military affairs of the 43 prefectures of Hedong and Hebei, the Jingzhou Grand Governor's Office has jurisdiction over the military affairs of the 36 prefectures of Jingxiang, the Youzhou Governor's Office has jurisdiction over the 32 prefectures of Youyan, the Yizhou Governor's Office has jurisdiction over the military affairs of the 24 prefectures of Shu Han, the Qinzhou Governor's Office has jurisdiction over the military affairs of the 18 prefectures of Longyou, and the six major governors have a total of 197 prefectures, accounting for more than half of the more than 300 prefectures of the Great Sui. The six governors govern 197 states, of which 45 are military governors. Compared with the 36 middle and lower governor's offices of the four major governors of Jingyang and Yiyi a year ago, the imperial court added two major governors' offices of Youqin and Qin, and the middle- and lower-level governor's offices also increased from 36 to 45, and nine ordinary states were upgraded to military governors. In addition, of the 32 states of the Youzhou Governor's Office, eleven of them belong to the prefectures and counties directly under the imperial court, and except for Youzhou, which is the Grand Governor's Office, the remaining ten are all upgraded to the Lower Governor's Office. The other 21 prefectures are located in the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain.

However, the biggest change is not only the establishment of two new governors' offices and the upgrading of nine lower governors' offices, for many officials and ordinary people, what they are most surprised by is the candidates for the governors of the six major governors' offices. Yangzhou has the largest number of state capitals, surpassing the second-place state capital with 44 states, becoming the largest governor's office in Tongzhou, while last year's first governor's office is now the second largest state capital. In the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign, Yang Liang, the king of Han, went out of the town and merged the state. At that time, the governor's office of the state was the great governor's office. But in fact, there were only more than 30 states in Tongzhou, and the emperor incorporated the prefectures of Hebei Supervision Province into the state capital. Yang Liang's annexed state capital was connected to the Great Wall in the north and the Yellow River in the south, and he ruled over the entire Northern Qi Dynasty and the entire 52 states. However, this time, there were only 43 states left in the state capital, but it was surpassed by Yangzhou and ranked second. The state capital was divided into Kyushu, plus the two states of Wufei newly established last year, plus the twenty-one prefectures of Sanfan, forming the new Youzhou Grand Governor's Office, Youzhou Mansion was upgraded from the original Central Governor's Mansion to the Great Governor's Office, governing a total of 32 states in the eleven states south of Yanshan and twenty-one states in the north of Yanshan. Among them, there are ten military governors' offices. In the newly formed situation of the six governors, although they were established very late, they already occupied the third position militarily, second only to the two governors of Qin and Qin.

As soon as the pattern of the six governors' offices was formed, it immediately experienced a round of five kings, which also made countless officials and people feel like they were seeing flowers in the fog.

Yang Guang, the former governor of Yangzhou, was transferred to the governor of Bingzhou, which is not unusual for many officials to be transferred. The first official position after Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was the governor of the state, and Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was only thirteen years old at that time. It's just that at that time, the emperor let Yang Shuangquan, the emperor's younger brother, Wei Wang Yang Shuangquan, take the post of governor of the state on the grounds that Yang Guang was too young. On behalf of Yang Guang, he served as the governor of the state for one year, and in the second year of the emperor, Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, was transferred to the governor of Liangzhou, and for three years he was in charge of the Northern Expedition, and Yang Guang officially went to the state to take office. When Yang Guang was in charge of the state. At that time, the state capital only governed thirteen states, and three years after the merger, Yang Guang was transferred to Huainan Province in the sixth year of the emperor's reign. Later, he served as the pastor of Yongzhou, and the Sui Dynasty served as Marshal Ping Chen in the eighth year of the emperor's reign. Nine years after the return to the governor of the state, at this time the governor of the state has ruled more than 30 states. Same. Jiangnan rebelled, Yang Guang was transferred to the governor of Yangzhou, and Yang Jun, the king of Qin, was transferred to the position of Yangzhou. Since then, Yang Guang has served as the governor of Yangzhou from the tenth year of the emperor to the end of the eighteenth year of the emperor. Yang Jun, the king of Qin, also served as the governor of the state from the tenth year of the emperor to the seventeenth year of the emperor, until the seventeenth year of the Han Dynasty, Yang Liang, took over the position of the governor of the state. After Yang Liang succeeded Yang Jun, the emperor merged the Prefecture Governor's Office with the Hebei Supervision Dao, and the Prefecture Prefecture reached the largest scale in the history of the dynasty, with a full 52 prefectures, all under the jurisdiction of the Northern Qi Dynasty. However, Yang Liang did not establish his prestige in the two years of merging the state, and the former states in Hebei, especially the local generals such as Yan Rong, the governor of Youzhou, did not buy his account at all. At the end of the year, the Yan Rong case began, and the assassination history of the governors in northern Hebei was uprooted, and Yang Liang had not yet had time to be happy, but the position of the governor of the state changed hands again, and returned to the hands of Yang Guang, the king of Jin.

However, many people noticed that there was also a supplement in the Ming edict issued by Shangshu Province, and the king of Jin was temporarily recuperating in Beijing due to illness, and Yang Hongquan, the king of Hejian, was led to the governorship of the state. It seems that just like when Yang Guang first served as the governor of the state, he did not arrive, but was led by Yang Shuangquan, the king of Wei, and this time it was not the emperor's younger brother who led it but the emperor's younger brother.

Yang Liang, the fifth son of the emperor who was originally the most favored by today's supreme and saints, was transferred to the governor of Jingzhou. The south gate of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, after the governor was vacant for more than a year, finally had a prince in charge, which also changed the situation of several courtiers with foreign surnames serving as the governor of Jingzhou. From the transfer of the governor of Bingzhou to the governor of Jingzhou, everyone can see that this is obviously a bit demeaning, and many people have interpreted it as the failure of the Han king's eastern crusade last year, which made the emperor dissatisfied, and finally the Han king was transferred from the important north to the Jingzhou area. Of course, some people say that this is because the Central Plains and the grassland are about to fight, and the emperor replaced the king of Han with the king of Jin, because the king of Jin is the prince with the most experience in leading troops and governing the local area among all the princes. Some people even say that the title of the King of Jin is Jin, and the title of the King of Han is Han, and the adjustment of the two kings this time is to make their titles deserved, and even because of this, some people say that the emperor wants to implement the feudal system and divide the feudal country to the princes' sons and grandchildren. In the future, the feudal state of the King of Jin was the annexation of the state, and the feudal state of the King of Han was Jingzhou.

Of course, there are many people who refute this speculation, the reason is that Yang Jun, the king of Qin, was transferred from Jingzhou to Yangzhou this time, and Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, was also transferred from Yizhou to Qinzhou, and the newly crowned King Han was transferred from Qinzhou to Shuzhong.

The king of Shu, who had been in Shuzhong for 18 years and had not moved his nest, was transferred from Shuzhong for the first time and moved to Qinzhou in western Beijing. In contact with the Jin Dynasty, he was transferred from Yangzhou to the state after the reduction, especially when he had been worshiped as the marshal of the Northern Expedition, but this time he was declared to be removed from the position due to illness in the Ming Dynasty. After the crown prince took over the command of the Northern Expedition, there was a speculation that became more and more noisy. In addition, the left servant shot Gao Gong as the long history of the Northern Expedition. After He Ruobi, Shi Wansui, and Han Seng Shou suddenly became the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army, even a fool could see it. King Jin is definitely in trouble. No matter what happens, his position is a little worrisome, and the future is not good. The position of commander of the Northern Expedition was replaced, the position of the governor of Yangzhou was transferred, and the position of the governor of Bingzhou was also led by the king of Hejian, and even the eldest son of the king of Jin, who had just been crowned the king of Han, was suddenly transferred from the position of the governor of Qinzhou in western Beijing to the distant Shuzhong.

For a while, up and down the government and the opposition, the heart that was already clear began to be confused again. It turned out that Yang Guang, the virtuous king who was praised by everyone in the world. In the blink of an eye, he was already in an extremely unfavorable situation. Not only was the position of commander of the Northern Expedition not guaranteed, but even the position of chief manager could not be kept. On the other hand, the crown prince, who was originally in a bad situation, after experiencing a New Year, has actually reversed his form, and the eldest son Yang Lin, who has been lost and recovered, has now not only become the governor of Youzhou, but also officially canonized as the emperor's grandson. The crown prince also replaced the king of Jin as the commander of the Northern Expedition, and in the Northern Expeditionary Army, there was only one right servant left on the side of the king of Jin, and Yang Su also retained the position of marshal of the right army. But he added the famous general Shi Wansui as his deputy, which greatly restrained him.

In the spring of the nineteenth year of Kaihuang, this is a brand new year, after a new year. The situation in the DPRK and China suddenly changed, and in the DPRK, the prince and the left servant shot Gao Gong and fought a turnaround. Reverse the unfavorable situation that was suppressed by King Jin before, the scenery is infinite. And locally. The situation of the six governors' offices around Guanzhong Daxing and Luoyang in the Central Plains was also formally formed. While the princelings are infinitely beautiful, what people can't ignore is Yang Lin, the imperial grandson, who is dazzling like a meteor. The general manager of Youzhou and the grandson of the emperor. No matter which title it is, it makes the eldest grandson of the emperor, who has been missing in Daxing for more than ten years, return to Daxing with an extremely dazzling attitude and become the hottest and most promising new star.

On the eve of the expedition, on the evening of the same day, the crown prince Yang Yong chartered the most famous tiger tower in Beijing, where he feasted the generals of the Northern Expedition who were about to go out. The Northern Expedition marched long history, the left servant shot Gao Gong, and the new internal history of the prime minister's rear grain and heavy baggage matters Ling Liu Shu also personally attended the banquet. In addition, the generals of the Northern Expedition, Marshal He Ruobi of the Middle Road, Deputy Marshal Han Seng Shou, and Deputy Marshal of the West Road Shi Wansui also came to the banquet together.

This can be regarded as a celebration banquet for the prince's family, celebrating the complete defeat of King Jin's arrogance.

After the five flavors of the three rounds of wine, Yang Yong invited Gao Gong, Liu Shu, Shi Wansui, He Ruobi, and Han Seng Shou to the pavilion upstairs.

Yang Yong smiled and said to Shi Wansui: "Taiping Gong, this time you are the deputy marshal of the Western Route Army, how are you ready to deal with Yang Su's poisonous snake?" ”

Shi Wansui drank a lot of wine tonight, but he wasn't drunk, it just made him more and more refreshed. He chuckled and said, "Whether Yang Su is leading troops to fight or entering the court, I have to admit that he is indeed very capable. But he just doesn't know the current affairs, and he doesn't follow His Royal Highness the Prince, so he has to choose Yang Guang to follow, this Northern Expedition, although he is the marshal of the Western Road, it will not be his meritorious journey, it will only be his way to death. ”

Yang Yongyin laughed twice: "This time the Taiping Gong went on an expedition, and I don't ask you to break the Turks, as long as you can strictly guard the pass, and prevent the Turks from breaking through the pass and entering Koulongyou, and threatening the Beijing Division." The real task of the Taiping Gong this time is not to let the poisonous snake return to Daxing City under any circumstances. Lone didn't care what means Taiping Gong used, in short, Yang Su couldn't come back alive. ”

Gao Gong also nodded on the side: "Taiping Gong must remember that defeating the Turks is secondary, and taking the opportunity to get rid of Yang Su is the first priority." If we can take the opportunity of the Northern Expedition to get rid of Yang Su, then we will be equivalent to completely cutting off Yang Guang's arm, and His Royal Highness's position will be stable. ”

Shi Wansui snorted coldly: "Don't worry, Yang Su is going to die, and I won't let the Turks go." I think that when Lao Tzu was demoted to Dunhuang as a soldier, he dared to go deep into the Turks hundreds of miles at any time with only one person and one horse. In the third year of the emperor's reign, he fought with the Turks, and with only a horse lance and a bow in his hand, he dared to invite the Turks to fight in front of the battle, and stabbed all the warriors they sent out to death in front of the battle, and with this bravery alone, he forced 100,000 Turks to retreat without a fight. Although I have been idle for a few years over the years, this ability has not yet fallen. Since His Royal Highness let a certain person go to the Western Route Army this time, it is just a matter of getting rid of Yang Su. Kill Yang Su, and then go to meet these Turkic wolf cubs, and then bring back all their heads as gifts to His Highness. ”

Gao Ying didn't like Shi Wansui's appearance, this was a greedy and arrogant person, in his early years, he was a brave general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and later became involved in a rebellion case soon after entering the Sui Dynasty, and was removed from his official position and assigned to Dunhuang as a pawn. But this guy is really brave, when he was in Dunhuang, he often dared to go deep into the Turkic territory alone to rob cattle and sheep and come back to slaughter, and the Turks wanted to arrest him, but he killed and injured countless people, so that the Turks in that area were afraid when they heard his name, and later they had already heard the wind and fled from afar. In the great battle of the third year of the emperor's reign, he invited himself to participate in the war, and with the courage of the front of the battle, he forced the Turkic army to retreat without a fight, and was able to return to the imperial court. Later, he participated in several major wars against the Turks, and participated in the Battle of Pingchen, and later the Jiangnan Counterinsurgency War. In the rebellion that pacified Jiangnan, he was Yang Su's deputy commander, the two of them each unified the army, Shi Wansui only brought 2,000 soldiers and horses, but he fought for more than 1,000 miles, more than 700 battles of all sizes, no defeat, defeated countless rebels, and won supreme bravery. Later, he also participated in the pacification of the barbarian rebellion in the southwest, but this guy was extremely greedy, and after accepting bribes from the rebels of the southern barbarians, he actually let people go. Later, when he passed through the territory of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, he was extorted by Yang Xiu for the bribe, but Shi Wansui was very arrogant, and he was willing to sink those treasures into the river rather than give them to Yang Xiu, which provoked Yang Xiu to be impeached and dismissed again. Later, Yang Guang and Yang Su personally came forward for him, and it took a lot of hard work to get him out and re-appoint him. But before he could take office, the rebel who he had released after taking bribes rebelled again, causing him to be removed from office again. This time, Gao Gong persuaded the prince to use a large sum of money and a few promises, and immediately let Shi Wansui betray Yang Guang and switch to the princelings.

Although Gao Gong knew that Shi Wansui was brave and capable of fighting, in fact, he despised this greedy and domineering guy who was capricious and had no loyalty.

"Please also ask the Taiping Gong to keep in mind the meaning of the prince, understand which is more important, and do not make claims without the prince's order. We don't want to ruin the prince's big thing because of your arrogance. If you can't do this, then it's better for you to hand over the big seal of the deputy commander of the West Road as soon as possible and not take charge. We cannot ignore your highness's affairs for the sake of your arrogance and your belligerence! Gao Gong snorted coldly.

Listening to the threatening meaning of Gao Gong's words, Shi Wansui's face changed color, and a wave of anger rushed straight to his heart, but in the end he still raised his head and nodded at Gao Gong, "Prince and Xiangguo, but please rest assured, I, Shi Wansui, know the severity!" ”

"It's good to know!" Gao Gong snorted, "I hope you can do what you say!" ”

Shi Wansui's face remained unchanged, but the hands in his sleeves had already been clenched into fists, and Gao Gong's disdainful attitude made his heart murderous. (To be continued......)
