Chapter 238: The court deliberates and builds the canal
With Han Yi's realm, some undisguised thoughts and thoughts were almost invisible in front of him, even if they were not revealed, as long as Han Yi was involved, then he could feel it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers responded with a bang and stood up.
Looking down at the hundreds of civil and military officials on the dragon chair, Han Yi's expression was indifferent, without surprise or joy.
After all, he is already an emperor who rules over three worlds, and the emperor of the Tang Shuanglong world is not enough to shake his heart.
He always knows his purpose, even if this world is full of beautiful women who can bring him beautiful enjoyment, he will not stay in this world anymore, after all, he is still limited by his lifespan, and the time he can enjoy is limited after all.
The middle-aged eunuch who stood up and said in a loud voice: "If there is something to do, play early, and there is nothing to retreat!" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play."
As soon as the words fell, Yang Su, who was standing in front of the ministers, stepped forward and said.
Yang Su was dressed in a black crown, bowed down and said: "Yuwen valve, Liu family, Yuan family... plotting a rebellion..."
The hall was silent, only Yang Su's voice echoed in the hall.
Yang Su stood at the head of the ministers, counted the top ten crimes of Yuwen Valve, and finally bowed deeply.
"Please punish him to revitalize the dynasty!"
Although he himself was involved, he only wrote a letter after all, which, by virtue of his status, was not at all sufficient as incriminating evidence against him.
Of course, for the sake of safety, he still decided to use the destruction of other families involved in this matter as a way to save his image in Han Yi's heart and offset his previous mistakes.
The ministers were silent and did not dare to speak.
The previous killing in Chang'an City had already shocked all the families in the entire Chang'an City.
However, Han Yi deliberately left a few pillars of the Yuwen Valve, which is a family gate, just to stay and deal with it today, so as to deter the court.
This Yuwen valve is different from the general family, Yuwen valve is a great hero who started with Yang Jian since the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the children of the valve occupy a large position in the court, even if it is the country's heavy weapon Xiaoguowei, it is controlled by Yuwen valve.
No one would think that this was Yang Su's own initiative, and it must have been a secret gesture from the one who passed by the dragon chair.
And as soon as he ascended the throne, he had to clean up the old ministers of the former dynasty.
The weight of this majesty's murderous intent is truly terrifying.
"Exactly! However, those bewitched families, although they also participated in the rebellion, should be given a chance after all, then let them donate half of their wealth to buy their lives! ”
On the dragon chair, Han Yi spoke lightly, and through the twelve beads of the crown, his deep gaze swept over the ministers.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
The ministers who were swept by Han Yi's eyes were all shocked in their hearts, and hurriedly and cautiously knelt on the ground, chanting Shengming, and some of them were even more happy to show that it was obviously the family behind them who participated in this rebellion.
With that person's temper, the first thing after ascending the throne, whoever dares to contradict it is afraid that it will be a long life, not to mention that this order is indeed more humane, and they have no need to refute it.
Even Su Wei and Gao Ying, who were standing in front of the ministers, after hesitating for a long time, still knelt on the ground and supported Han Yi's choice, neither refuting nor insisting on extermination.
After all, Han Yi's approach not only hit these rebellious families, shocked the court, and harvested a lot of wealth, but also did not force the family level too much, perhaps the only deficiency was that some royal majesty was damaged.
"What? Don't you have anything else to play? ”
As soon as the ministers got up, Han Yi glanced at the ministers with interest and asked with a smile.
The ministers were speechless, they really didn't have anything big to do, if they played some small things, they would inevitably be suspected of being fooled, but they were afraid that their image in Han Yi's letter would be damaged.
Glancing at the ministers who were speechless, Han Yi couldn't help but feel bored for a while, and then said bluntly: "Since you don't have anything to say, then it's up to me to say, although the Great Sui has now unified the north and the south, don't you think that the Great Sui's control over the north and the south is too loose?"
"Difficult... Isn't it?"
Regarding Han Yi's words, the ministers were still a little confused, and only capable ministers such as Gao Gong, Yang Su, and Su Wei could understand the meaning of Han Yi's words a little.
Han Yi glanced at it, Gao Gong and the others, who were a little frightened, and said: "Yes, I want to dig a Jiangnan canal, starting from the Yangtze River, passing through Jiangdu, and reaching Shanyang on the south bank of Huaishui in the north, what do you think Aiqing thinks?"
"Open... Open a canal?"
As soon as Han Yi's words were clear, the ministers in the court immediately understood, and couldn't help but gasp, and praised again and again: "Your Majesty Shengming!"
Of course, many people know that it is not easy to open this canal, and one negligence may lead to the collapse of the empire.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable! The opening of the canal will inevitably cost the people and money, greatly damage the national strength, and shake the foundation of the country. ”
Gao Gong hurriedly admonished, in his eyes, it was obvious that Han Yi was starting to rejoice.
You must know that thousands of years ago, with the courage of Qin Shi Huang, he only dug the Ling Canal, connected the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, and strengthened the control of the South Vietnamese region.
The idea of this artificial canal greatly inspired later rulers, but why didn't anyone build it?
Because we all know that this is a matter of labor and money, and it is very likely to shake the country's foundation.
Li Zaiqiu's words are good, but the ruler is not stupid, but whoever has the national strength to do it, who wants to be guilty of the present generation?
But Han Yi knew that the time was ripe.
For a long time in ancient times, the economic center of gravity in China has been in the Yellow River Valley, and the economy of the north is much greater than that of the south.
However, by the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, more than 400 years of chaos had a serious impact on the north, and at the same time, the rise of the economy and culture in the south led to the weakening of the armed forces, which were far less than the multi-ethnic mix in the north, the prevalence of martial arts, and the strength of the army.
Therefore, it is inevitable to unify the world from the north to the south, but after reunification, the north needs the material supply from the south.
For example, in order to guard against the Turkic Goguryeo that invaded the border every year, a large number of troops were stationed on the border, and it was not enough for these troops to rely on Tuntian, they had to have food and salary supplies from Jianghuai and the Central Plains, and the distance was so far that it was really difficult to rely on horse-drawn carriages alone.
At such times, what could be more suitable than a canal that runs north and south?
To put it bluntly, at this time, the north and south of the world are one article and one martial arts, if the civil and military forces are combined, the national strength of the Great Sui will inevitably climb to the peak, and the world is invincible!
At the peak of the reign of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, all countries came to the dynasty, which was actually born on this basis.
Of course, the predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, and the predecessors did not seem to end well.
Qin repaired the Great Wall, benefited in Qianqiu, and died in the second, and Sui repaired the canal, benefited in Qianqiu, and died in the second......
If Han Yi chooses to be an emperor who guards the sky, as long as he succeeds to the throne, with today's strong generals of the Great Sui Dynasty and the peak of military strength, it will not be a problem to go north to break the Turks and destroy Goguryeo, but as an existence that can shuttle through the heavens, he naturally has ambitions far beyond ordinary people, how can he deliberately avoid the problem of the Grand Canal?
