Gao Gong undoubtedly saw it very accurately, but he was still optimistic, in fact, it would not take twenty years for the Great Sui to be destroyed.

After the three expeditions to Goguryeo, if Daddy Yang Guang can stay in Luoyang, formulate a policy to calm the people, and recuperate, there will be one last chance to recuperate.

It's a pity that he went to Jiangdu again, maybe he was afraid that something would happen if he stayed in Luoyang, so he chose his own basic panjiangnan.

Before the Guanzhong-based policy is not weakened, if you leave the north, you are looking for death, a small person like Wang Shichong can dominate Luoyang and become a generation of heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, you can see how important Luoyang is.

You spent so much money to repair Tokyo, but it turned out to be cheaper for Wang Shichong, this kid.

In the following days, in addition to attending the court meeting step by step, Yang Ming would ask Yang Yinjiang what had happened during the year he was not in Beijing.

After Yang Yue fell out of favor, the position of Nei Shiling was still both, but Gao Gong's Taichang Siqing was given by Niu Hong.

At present, the most favored person in the court is to protect the child.

Came to protect the ancestral home of Jiangdu, when the Sui destroyed the battle of Chen, he took refuge in He Ruobi as a southerner, participated in the battle of destroying Chen, made great contributions, and was awarded the three divisions of Shangkai Fuyi.

Later, in the tenth year of the emperor's reign, Jiangnan people Gao Zhizhi raised an army against Sui, and he followed Yang Su to rebel against Jiangnan and was awarded the Duke of Xiangyang County.

Then, he crusaded against Wang Wenjin's rebellion, raised his title to a higher level, and was named the Duke of Yongning County.

At the beginning of this year, he was named the Duke of Rongguo by his good friend Yang Guang, the second guard among the sixteen guards, and the general of the right Yiwei.

Zuo Yiwei is Yuwenshu.

These two people will undoubtedly become the two people with the most military power under Yang Guang.

Yang Ming also knew in his heart that most of the elders he was befriending at the moment actually belonged to the Kaihuang elder faction, that is, sooner or later, he would be slapped to death by the back waves on the beach.

The Northern Zhou patriarchal faction was weakened by Yang Jian, and the Kaihuang patriarchal faction was weakened by Yang Guang.

And the most favored core figures of the dynasty are not familiar with Yang Ming.

Historically, during Yang Guang's tenure, there were seven people with great power, known as Cao Qigui, namely Su Wei, Niu Hong, Yu Wenshu, Zhang Jin, Yu Shiji, Pei Ju, and Pei Yun.

In addition, Yang Guang also has a few absolute henchmen, Laihu'er, Guo Yan, Zhang Heng, okay, Li Yuan is also counted as one, and Yang Yue is now counted as half.

These people, except for Pei Ju, Yang Yue, and Li Yuan, it is inconvenient for Yang Ming to make friends with them, and he can't even show familiarity with them, because he is not the heir, and if he has too close contacts with the central minister, he will be considered a party.

In other words, after Yang Ming came back from Luoyang this time, Yu Chaozhong's influence was no longer so great.

After noon, Yang Ming went to the palace office to discuss with everyone.

Fang Xuanling had been recalled from Hedong by him, and the affairs of the Hedong County Mansion were handed over to Duan Chou, who was originally in Jingzhou.

Right now, Yang Ming's palace staff is gathered, and everyone is there.

"You are all the king's henchmen, and in the future, we will take a boat together, I will lose everything, and I will be glorious."

Yang Ming sat on the main seat and said, "Right now, King Qi is the director of the canal, what do you think this king should do to block him. ”

On the food problem in Luoyang, it was because of Yang Jin's constraints that Yuan Wendu and Li Baiyao almost gave up their previous achievements, and these two people despised Yang Jin very much, and when they heard that they were going to deal with King Qi, they were all excited.

is the so-called revenge, you restrained us at the beginning, but today it is our turn to yin you, anyway, if something happens, Yang Ming is carrying it, and they are not afraid.

Among them, Du Ruhui has a lot of resentment towards Yang Yan, after all, his own uncle Du Yan, until now, is still recuperating at home, if Yang Su was not assigned by King Qin to rush to save people, I am afraid that my uncle's life will not be saved.

Du Ruhui said: "The king of Qi does not hesitate to the people, insatiable, so the minister thinks that the canal will never be as smooth as Luoyang, we just need to wait and see the changes, but there are small changes, so that the means will amplify it, will be able to affect the project." ”

They only dared to make a small fuss, and did not dare to completely destroy the canal project, after all, this is a national policy.

At this time, Yuan Wendu shook his head:

"I'm afraid it's not easy, our problems in Luoyang, under the mediation of His Royal Highness, can be solved in the best way, King Qi must learn from the same, so it will be much smoother, not to mention that Wei Shangshu is in charge of the requisition of grain and grass for the people, and His Majesty has exempted the slaves and maids in Hebei, Shandong, and Jiangnan from paying taxes, and the logistics can be guaranteed.

"That's not necessarily," Du Ruhui said: "The virtue of the King of Qi is far from that of His Royal Highness, not to mention that he has a disagreement with our Royal Highness, I think that the sixteen national policies, the King of Qi may all be overthrown, after all, these sixteen policies were proposed by His Royal Highness at the beginning, and the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, and the King of Qi would not use His Royal Highness's policy to show his own merits." ”

Pei Xizai disagreed, and said: "He doesn't need it, but Luoyang still has Yuwen Shangshu, during the construction of Tokyo, it has been proved that His Royal Highness's sixteen policies are the best policy to cherish the people's power the most, and the people's power is not lost, and the project can be guaranteed. ”

】

"If it is used, then half of the credit for the canal is still on His Royal Highness," Du Ruhui said: "The King of Qi is narrow-minded, and if he wants to monopolize the canal, he must give up this strategy, so I think that Yuwen Shangshu's words, he may not listen, after all, when he was in Luoyang, there was also a very unpleasant quarrel between Yuwen Shangshu and the King of Qi." ”

.......

Everyone expresses their opinions, which Yang Ming is happy to see, because a good way is to argue.

He handed over a letter in his hand to Chen Kui, who handed it over to everyone in the hall to circulate.

After everyone finished reading it, Li Baiyao couldn't help but gasp, and said dumbfounded:

"Is the message accurate?"

Yang Ming smiled: "Absolutely true. ”

The letter was sent by Yang about halfway, and he had already heard from Yang Jun that the other party intended to shorten the construction period to six months.

Fifteen hundred miles of canal, completed in six months.

Li Baiyao was shocked: "I agree with Ke Ming (Du Ru obscure) statement, if he dares to do this, giving up the Sixteen Strategies is almost a fact, if he does this, something big will happen." ”

After everyone read it, they were also in the same mood as Li Baiyao, and they all felt incredible.

The nine-month construction period set by His Majesty was already very urgent, and King Qi shortened it by three months, obviously to match the completion time of Tokyo, so as to invite credit.

It is an indisputable fact that the construction period is shortened, and the people's power will inevitably be abused.

Everyone also knows in their hearts that what His Majesty says is good on his lips today, but in fact he does not cherish the people's power.

If Yang Jun can really dig the canal within six months, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement in the eyes of the emperor, but the loss during the period is definitely a very terrible number.

"This man is a prince in vain!" Fang Xuanling slapped the table directly and said: "Your Royal Highness should inform the prince in time, so that the prince can mediate and build Tokyo, Shanxi, Henan and Hebei, the people are already miserable, if the king of Qi is allowed to mess around, the people will be in danger." ”

The prince's benevolence and righteousness are famous, on the one hand, because Yang Zhao is like this, and on the other hand, Yang Guang intends to publicize and build momentum for the prince.

Fang Xuanling said so, which shows that the prestige of the prince has been invisibly deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The human heart cannot be lost.

Moreover, this time the canal will be excavated, and the people will be recruited from Shandong, and Fang Xuanling is from Shandong.

Since ancient times, whether it is princes and generals or ordinary people, there is nostalgia, their love for their hometown, is a grass and a tree, a mountain and a water, as strong as alcohol.

"Don't worry, the king of Qi should not have arrived in Luoyang yet," Yang Ming said: "What we have is time to plan, we must come up with a foolproof strategy, in public and private, this king will hold him back this time." ”

The four words of public and private are undoubtedly Yang Ming's best words.

Yu Private, these people are his staff, and naturally he wants to give advice to the Lord, Yu Gong and Yang Jian messed around below and abused the people's power, which is intolerable to these people who have read the books of sages.

The role of the Confucian set is here, although the four sentences of Hengqu are not yet available.

Such a big thing can't be discussed in a while, so Yang Ming wants to give them time, relying on himself to plan, there will inevitably be loopholes, brainstorming is the first priority to do things.

Li Baiyao is a literati who is serious, a pure cultural person who can no longer be pure, and a university scholar.

After returning home, he heard from the housekeeper that the Qin Wangfu had sent him a woman, and it was the woman she had been thinking about for a long time.

In fact, Chen He is not very interested in Li Baiyao, after all, there is no woman who likes lustful men.

But there is no way, her only destination now can only be to be a concubine for Li Baiyao, so that when she is old, she will also have a place to rest in her old age.

The moment Li Baiyao saw Chen He, he didn't have the same excitement as before, maybe only the right time and the right place can arouse this talent's demand for women.

His abusive side is undoubtedly revealed.

After just comforting the other party a little, Li Baiyao returned to the study.

In the past, every night, he would collect the classic books and historical materials left by his father Li Delin, and continue to repair the "History of Qi".

Although a lot of bad things about the Gao family were written in this, there was no way, the Great Sui inherited from Zhou, and Qi was incompatible, and often regarded Qi as "hypocritical", that is, unorthodox, if Li Baiyao wrote the Gao family too well, the result should be similar to Cui Hao.

Cui Hao was eating the food of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but when he was repairing the history of the country, he exposed all the ugly things of the Northern Wei Tuoba family, which was basically self-defeating.

But tonight, Li Baiyao did not revise history, but sat alone with the lamp in his hand, thinking about the canal in his mind.

If you want to deal with Yang Jun, the king of Qi, you must start from the weakness of the other party, and Yang Jun's biggest weakness is that he is lewd and lustful.

And throughout history, the history of fornication in the old Qi Gao family is definitely the number one.

Fathers take sons and wives, sons take father's wives, brothers take brothers' wives, brothers marry brothers' wives, and even the queen and ministers commit adultery, almost every emperor has done this.

And Li Baiyao is here, he knows about Yang Jun's ugly thing, and the reason why he knows it is because Li Baiyao and the victim are friends.
