Chapter 34: The Great Grip of Imperial Power (The Seventh Outbreak Asks for Subscription!)

"Yang Gong, you and Yuan Gong are sons and daughters, where do you think you should start?"

The Taiwei entered the prison, Sikong resigned, and in the East Palace, Gu Cheng looked at the last Situ Yang Ci again.

Yang Ci's eyes were originally half-closed, and he was old, but at this time, he was full of excitement, and bowed down suddenly: "Your Highness, the old minister doesn't know!"

"Yang Gong, please get up!"

Gu Cheng got up this time, personally helped Yang Ci up, and laid down the enchantment, Jiuqing couldn't hear it, and said in a gentle voice: "The water can only become a sea below, and the mountains are not high and reach the sky, Hongnong Yang's Taoguang has been obscure for a long time, it seems that he is unwilling to show his edge for my Han family?"

Yang Ci's face changed drastically: "Your Highness!"

Even those who don't know much about the Three Kingdoms know that the Yuan family is the fourth and third dukes, but in fact, the Hongnong Yang family is also the fourth and third dukes.

Yang Ci's grandfather Yang Zhen and father Yang Bingjun were officials to Taiwei, he served as Situ Taiwei, and his son Yang Biao served as the third prince in the future, until the famous grandson "chicken ribs" Yang Xiu, was saddened......

And from the perspective of later generations, the Runan Yuan clan is far inferior to the Hongnong Yang clan.

This family not only held a high-ranking official in the Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties, but also produced Yang Su, the Duke of Yue in the Sui Dynasty, and even Yang Jian and Yang Guang were Hongnong Yang's family, but there is also a saying that Yang Jian rewrote the genealogy in order to show orthodoxy because of his merit (jué) position, but he was actually born in the Han clan in Shandong.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Wuwei Yang, the four surnames married, the surname Yang was the eleventh prime minister, Li Shimin's concubine, Wu Zetian's mother, and Li Longji's queen were all from the Yang family.

In the Song Dynasty, it was the Yang family general who was full of loyalty.

This surname has been around for thousands of years, and what Gu Cheng admires the most is its longevity, and all dynasties have left a good reputation.

So is this head of the family, Yang Ci, loyal?

Gu Cheng didn't have an answer, maybe he was loyal, maybe he was loyal.

But he can be sure of one thing, at least there is no irreconcilable contradiction between the Yang family and the Han family.

This is the beauty of Taoguang's obscurity, obviously with strong strength, but not on the cusp, both sides can take a step back and open the sky.

But now, Gu Cheng is forcing Yang Ci to express his position.

At this time, being stabbed by the Great Retrograde, being angry and losing his mind, is completely normal.

Therefore, the calmer the prince appeared on the surface, the more panicked the ministers became, and Yang Ci was even more bitter, sighing: "Your Highness, it's not that the old minister doesn't want to be loyal, but I don't know what you want?"

These words are heart-wrenching, Gu Cheng no longer detours, and said directly: "The Yuan clan's henchmen are all eliminated!"

Yang Ci had long expected that the prince was young and vigorous, but he shook his head directly: "Yuan's protégés and former officials are all over the world, so if you do this, I am afraid that the chaos will happen again!"

Why is the Runan Yuan clan so strong?

They are not princes now, at least there are no soldiers or generals on the surface, they are all officials in the court, it stands to reason that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die.

But in fact, the huge influence brought by the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family is also the place that the Han family fears the most, it is the protégé and the old officials, all over the world!

If you rashly tear your face with it, then the Yuan family's rebellion is much better than the Yellow Turban Rebellion sweeping the world!

Yang Ci really thought about the Han Dynasty when he said this, but Gu Cheng was surprised and said, "Yuan's protégé is not in Luoyang?"

Yang Ci was stunned and suddenly changed color.

Yes, the victory of the Yellow Turban, the selection of the crown prince's concubine, the feast of the main hall, officials from all over the country, and the Taishou assassination history all entered Luoyang.

Therefore, many officials of the Yuan faction are in Luoyang, not on their own territory.

At this moment, Yang Ci only felt a chill rushing towards the heavenly spirit.

Is it a coincidence?

Or is there a plan?

But the prince won't count Yuan Shu's dedication to the book, and the Yellow Turban Demon Dao is just hidden in it, right?

Rao is Yang Ci has experienced ups and downs in his life, and he is also a little confused, the person in front of him has an unfathomable majesty, and he is about to kneel down when his legs tremble.

Gu Cheng held it, and his palm was slightly forced: "If the disciples of the Yang family of Hongnong enter the states, so that the counties and counties will be handed over smoothly, and my Han will survive another catastrophe, and Yang Gongju will make great contributions!"

Yang Ci's face turned pale with fright, and he shook his head again and again: "The old minister is willing to help His Highness stabilize the world situation, but the position of the county and county will not dare to accept it!"

Hongnong Yang's is inconspicuous, but he is firmly in the second place in the world, while the sharp Yuan is hated.

If the Yuan clan is knocked into the dust and the party is eliminated, then the one who rises to the rank and becomes the target of the public will not become the Yang clan?

This is something that Yang Ci absolutely does not want to see.

Gu Cheng bowed slightly: "Even so, the Yingchuan Chen family, the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Qinghe Cui family have suffered from the disaster of the party, and the Hanoi Sima also has the heart to repay, so let the children of their family be lonely and worried!"

When Yang Ci heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness is wise!"

What Yang Ci feared most was that the prince removed Yuan's protégé and gave the official position to second-class and third-rate families, and even the children of poor families.

Now it seems that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is ruthless, he still knows the importance of the most ambitious Runan Yuan family, and the vacated official position is still divided by the top family.

This is perfectly acceptable.

However, Yang Ci inevitably doubted, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was just to eradicate the Yuan family, and all the benefits were given to the family, and he was busy working for nothing?

Although the Runan Yuan clan is the great enemy of the Han family, but the matter has come to this point, it is impossible not to fight for benefits!

The next moment, he knew the answer -

"Changwen, show your recital to Yang Gong!"

Gu Cheng beckoned, and Chen Qun stepped forward to bow down.

Chen Qun's face was as warm as jade, his posture was elegant and straight, he was a standard child of the world, and at this time, he offered his hands to him: "Please Yang Gong take a look!"

Yang Ci unfolded it, looked at it carefully, and a deep groan appeared on his face.

The higher the grade, the higher the starting point, the faster the promotion, and the lower the grade, the despised, and the promotion is slow.

It seems that this system is the standardization of inspection, which makes the power of the family more obvious, but Yang Ci noticed that a series of measures such as examination, assessment, supervision, punishment, and appointment were all appointed by the emperor Shangshutai officials.

Therefore, this newly established Shangshutai is the key.

This is very different from the nine-grade Zhongzheng system in history, Zhongzheng can be evaluated, but there is no final decision, if there is injustice, immediately recall, never hired.

In this way, although the officials are still held by the children of the family, the power has invisibly shifted to the emperor.

In this regard, Yang Ci was unwilling at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was a long-term move.

After all, for families who don't want to rebel, the continuation of the family is important, as long as talented children can come out and show their ambitions, they should be restricted by the royal family.

Yang Ci Laocheng took it seriously, and looked at it carefully, especially the assessment and punishment system, and suddenly woke up to the fact that the prince's reform at this time has a key use.

Although the officials of the Yuan family were devoted to the Yuan family, they themselves did not make mistakes, and they all took them all, and their teachers were unknown.

But as soon as the nine-product Zhongzheng system comes out, all officials will be supervised by Shangshutai and assessed their grades.

This world is upside down, in terms of morality and talent, I'm afraid I can't find fault?

Even if it is impeccable, then give it a second grade, promote it to the center, give it an idle position, and the power is deprived.

Demotion and dismissal, Ming Sheng, a major earthquake in the officialdom, with the birth of the new system, disappeared invisibly, and it can be implemented, Shangshutai set the authority, the crown prince has a great power, and the supreme position.

At this moment, Yang Ci understood what the imperial power technique was, and he was frightened and admired in his heart, and finally bowed down: "Your Royal Highness is wise and benevolent, Hongnong Yang, willing to do your best!"
