Chapter 4 Falls
Emperor Sui, dormitory.
As always, it's lit up all night.
Singing and dancing, orchestral endlessly.
It's just that the seats behind a curtain are empty.
The singer still sang "Yushu Backyard Flowers", and the beautiful sound came out of the court.
In the side hall, a long-haired man in light clothes had just been bathed, and the long hair scattered behind him was still carrying moisture.
It's almost summer, and the climate is getting hotter, but fortunately, the popularity in this side hall is not strong, but it is also shady, not hot, but cool.
Kneel on the mat. On the table in front of him was a thick piece of music, where he had to review and review every day.
Information from all corners of this vast empire is recorded in these little memoirs.
There are hundreds of counties and counties in the Sui Kingdom, large and small, and each county guard is qualified to hand in the chapter, at least five or six hundred copies every month, and things are complex and changeable from the big road to the small.
Since accepting this position, this young emperor has not spent a day idle.
As for the dormitory, there are constant singing and dancing, but it's just for show.
Although these recitals are cumbersome, they are an effective means of understanding the various aspects of this century-old empire.
Reading the recital, in Yang Ye's view, is to fight wits and courage with the officials from all over the country who handed over the recital.
There will be concealment and false reporting of disasters, as well as exaggerated political achievements, smearing opponents, and even all kinds of strange things.
Reviewing the folds is not just about looking at the superficial things, but also from the official's resume, past, interpersonal relationships, geographical factors, and so on.
If you read this official and read the notes he wrote, you will be able to learn a lot of real information.
In his opinion, this is quite an interesting thing.
For this reason, he promoted the wings he had cultivated when he was a prince in the East Palace, and was in charge of espionage, and named it Six Doors, which means that the portal is deeply hidden in intelligence.
"Interesting, this Wang Hu, reported to Xiangrui, met Phoenix, is it time now? By the way, my birthday is coming······ The phoenix fell on the stone, and the craftsman chiseled through it, and got two pairs of beautiful jade, worth a thousand gold, and there were Taiping words on it······"
The young emperor laughed out loud when he read this.
"I know how to figure out what I want, and it's interesting."
The candle flame was burning, and the fire light shone on Yang Ye's side face, which looked angular and charming.
"The Dugu clan is moving again, why don't you listen to persuasion and want to replace the Yang family? The Hou clan is powerful, and it needs to be suppressed. ”
Yang Ye wrote a few sentences after the twist and turn, and decided to make a move on the Dugu family.
Dugu family, originally a Hu nobleman, and the Yang family is the marriage of the times, after entering the customs, the Yang family sat on the son of heaven, and the Dugu family has produced three generations of queens, and now, it is the fourth generation.
Among the four major gate valves, the Dugu valve is the only gate valve that is dependent on the imperial power, also known as the Hou Party, and has always been a relative.
The Song valve boasted that the Han people were orthodox, partial to Lingnan, and belonged to the southern Han group, but they were only recruited on the surface, but in fact, they were a prince, which was a neighboring country.
All the while, the hatchback has been fine.
The Song valve could only be in a corner of peace, insisting on the orthodoxy of the Han people, but living in the land of Lingnan, where the Han people were already small, so they had more than enough to defend and not enough to enterprising.
Yuwen Valve, formerly the Northern Zhou royal family, was replaced by the Yang family, and has always been in love with the throne, and has never forgotten to restore the country in the past hundred years.
It's just that Yuwen is powerful, and the Yang family is not right, and has never experienced a top-down purge, so it still has a lot of influence.
As for Li Valve, he is the representative of the Guanlong military merit aristocratic group, and he has always been low-key, but the hidden forces cannot be underestimated.
In addition, there were enemy countries outside the Great Sui, and there were wars in the past hundred years, and there were victories and defeats for each other.
There are four major gates inside, and there are enemies and foreign invasions outside, and the Great Sui seems to be stable, but in fact, the bottom has already been turbulent, and the undercurrent is emerging.
At this critical juncture, the young emperor, since he ascended the throne, did not take much change, but just stuck to the old ways and did not change the ancestral system for three years.
Since the beginning of this year, the authority has gradually deepened, and the turbulence of the alternation of imperial power has passed.
Yang Ye felt that it was time to make more preparations.
There can be no big movement on the surface, and you can still make some small articles in private.
His gaze turned to the ······ outside the courtroom Rivers and lakes.
The gang forces in the rivers and lakes are not weak.
It is true that the good players in the rivers and lakes are only ten enemies, and even if they are gangs in the climate, they are not the opponents of the imperial army.
But the people in the rivers and lakes, if they use it well, can also work wonders at critical times.
To this end, Yang Ye reviewed the records of the rivers and lakes over the years, and even traced back to the records of the Northern Zhou royal family since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"The power of the rivers and lakes is getting stronger and stronger! A hundred years ago, there were only five or six verifiable grandmasters in the Central Plains, less than 100 people who were determined to have entered the congenital, and the number of gangs in the rivers and lakes was only 100,000. However, after a hundred years, there are more than 30 grandmasters who can be determined, congenital masters, which have grown to five or six hundred, and more than 800,000 gangs, close to one million······ It's shocking, shocking! ”
Putting down the book, Yang Ye paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, with a sad face on his face.
As he passed through a tent, he suddenly asked:
"Xue Ye, what do you think of the rivers and lakes today?"
An armored swordsman, who came out of the shadows, bowed his head and replied on his knees:
"Your Majesty, a hundred years ago, China had ten rooms and nine empty rooms, a population of less than 10 million, and the natural people withered. After a hundred years, resting with the people, reproducing children, and gradually prospering, nature is very different from a hundred years ago, after all, the population is more than ten times, with this scale, the minister thinks, it is not surprising. ”
Yang Ye listened and nodded in agreement.
"What you said is also right, a hundred years ago, there were years of war, and today's natural weather is different, the population has increased, and there are more people in the natural rivers and lakes."
"Restoring the people's livelihood and recuperating with the people, this is the merit of my Yang family!"
Then, as soon as the voice changed, he said with a little anger:
"It's a pity, this is a great situation, there are always some clowns who can't stand it, and want to ruin my Yang's career, Xue Ye, are you willing to share my worries?"
The swordsman, who was half-kneeling on the ground, smashed his right fist on the breastplate of his left chest, and replied in a deep voice:
"It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of His Majesty, please show your Majesty!"
Between the voices, it was sonorous and powerful, with a metallic sound.
"I am determined to select those who are innocent and not high-ranking among the show girls, and teach swordsmanship, thinking that they are amazing soldiers."
With a strange brilliance on his face, Yang Ye looked into the distance with a smile on his face.
"Order someone again, build a sword valley, and weave these women and talented people into it, known as the inheritance of the Yue Nu sword, and create some momentum first."
"I'll leave the construction of this Sword Valley to you!"
Xue Ye knelt on the ground and said loudly:
"The minister will not live up to His Majesty's orders!"
This is the first nail in the rivers and lakes.
After Xue Ye received the order, he immediately secretly sneaked away, and as for here, there were other people on duty.
Yang Ye summoned several henchmen and female officials to secretly explain the matter.
Soon, above the rivers and lakes, there was a rumor.
At that time, Ah Qing, the ancestor of the Yue Nu sword, retired after success, lived in seclusion in the valley, and took in a group of orphan girls to teach swordsmanship.
Occasionally, one or two descendants appeared, and most of them quickly disappeared and returned to the Sword Valley.
It is said that in the Sword Valley, there are no men, all of them are young girls, all of them have good looks, good temperament, familiar with the scriptures, and have everyone's bearing.
Compared with the demon girls of the Yin Kui faction and the nuns of Cihang Jingzhai, the women in this Sword Valley can't help but get married, but once they get married, they no longer regard themselves as members of the Sword Valley Gate.
Most of the people in the rivers and lakes are good deeds, which has led to all kinds of reveries.
The demon girl of the Yin Kui faction, the nun of Cihang Jingzhai, after all, the number is too small, but she also has a lot of fame in the past, at least she has the opportunity to see it.
Now this Sword Valley, inheriting the swordsmanship of Yue Nu Aqing, has been living in low-key seclusion for thousands of years, but it seems mysterious.
Some people who do good things, who say it well, once strayed into a certain valley on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, saw the heirs of the Yue female sword, and made up many stories, times, places, and characters, which made people half-believe.
No matter what, the Yue Nu Sword is always passed on, as well as the name of the Sword Valley, spread.
A net is secretly rushing towards the rivers and lakes.
With the ambitions of a young emperor.
From the court to the rivers and lakes, and then from the rivers and lakes to the court, the undercurrent hidden under the peaceful and prosperous era on the bright side is constantly surging.
The world is like a chess game, the rivers and lakes are the corners, and now, this one is about to fall, setting off a hurricane and blowing through the rivers and lakes.
Temples, rivers and lakes have always been closely linked.
