At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched the Daze Township Uprising, but in the end, it was Xiang Yu, the aristocratic overlord of the Chu State, who dominated the world and divided the kings. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three brothers of Zhang Jiao launched the Yellow Turban Uprising, but in the end, it was Dong Zhuo and the princes of the Eighteenth Road who became the protagonists of the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty.

It can be seen that in the era when the emperor and the noble lords ruled the world together, the rebellion launched by the reckless people could not become a climate at all.

In the turbulent times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the strength of the Wagang army was at its peak, it was considered the most promising force to dominate the world, but it couldn't even defeat a lonely city of Luoyang, and then Li Mi was defeated and surrendered in a battle, and Li Tang was executed by Li Yuan.

As the general trend gradually becomes clear today, although it has not yet been reunified, Hebei, the Central Plains, Jiangnan and Lingnan are all under the banner of the Great Sui, and the lives of ordinary people have begun to improve.

During the Spring Festival of the fifteenth year of the Great Cause, more than eighty percent of the people of the Great Sui Empire had a good year for a long time.

And Yang Ming, the righteous king who controls two-thirds of the world, is just one of the few people who have not been able to live a good year.

Because of the long-term disappearance of the important minister Pei Ju, Yang Ming had to hand over the power of managing Chang'an and Guanzhong to Dugu Valve, and then he personally sat in Luoyang to communicate with the Guandong Gate Valve family.

Although Yang Ming has martial arts that dominate the world, he has no foundation in this world, maybe he can pull up an army from the grass people, but the political talents who govern the country are firmly in the hands of the family gatekeepers.

If Pei Ju's old thing is still there, Yang Ming can still be a shopkeeper with peace of mind.

But after Pei Ju disappeared, all kinds of changes began to occur in the Kanto gate valve families that had connections with Luoyang.

Yang Ming is bent on eradicating the gate valve family, which is no secret among the gate valve families in the world.

In the past, Pei Ju appeased the Kanto Gate Valve Family, because Wen Xi Pei Family was the leader of the Kanto Gate Valve Family, so the Kanto Gate Valve Family believed that Pei Ju would make a reasonable arrangement for the coexistence of Yang Ming and the Gate Valve Family.

Now that there is no Pei Ju as this middleman, Yang Ming personally went to appease the gate valve of the Kanto family. As a result, we hit a wall at every turn.

Sometimes Yang Ming wanted to compromise with the gate valve family in exchange for their support, but in this way, there was no difference between Yang Ming seizing the world and making Li Shimin the emperor.

Yang Ming also thought about launching an army and simply killing all the family lords who opposed him.

But if he really did this, Yang Ming would no longer have room for relaxation with the door valve of the world's family.

If those political talents of the family are unwilling to give office to Yang Ming, even if Yang Ming unifies the world. Without civilian governance of the vast empire, the state established by Yang Ming would also collapse rapidly.

In the era when the aristocratic gate valve and the emperor ruled the world together, because the scarce political talents were all controlled by the family gate valve, even the emperor could not turn his face with the family gate valve.

It seems that after the Ming Dynasty began to read and rotten streets, even the homeless rebels who had no foundation helped them with advice if they couldn't pass the exam.

However, the era of aristocratic gate lords ruling the world is not without merit, at least the officials from the family gate lords are very disciplined.

After the Ming Dynasty began to study and rot the streets, basically nine out of ten officials were greedy, in addition to the officials' income was only enough to support their families, it was also because most of the people who studied and became officials were not much richer than the families of merchants.

But in the era when the aristocratic gate lords ruled the world. The aristocratic gate lords are all really rich and rival countries, and even the untouchable people under the name of the imperial court are the tenants and tenants of the aristocratic gate lords, and those officials who are born in the aristocratic gate lords will naturally not surrender their identities and ask their own house slaves for those few stinky copper coins.

The aristocratic gatekeepers disdained to compete with the people for profit because the untouchables were ostensibly the emperor's subjects, but in fact they were the domestic slaves of the aristocratic gatekeepers.

And when the aristocratic gate lord wants to compete for profit, he often competes with the emperor for the great profit related to the national fortune.

In the early years of the Great Cause, Yu Wenhua sold weapons to the Eastern Turks. It's just a microcosm of the aristocratic gatekeepers competing for profit with the country.

If it weren't for the nobles, who constantly sold weapons and grain to the Eastern Turks, the more populous the steppe tribes, the more people they would starve to death. Not to mention that every winter is a terrible natural disaster for the steppe tribes.

However, while the aristocratic gate lords exchanged weapons and food for a large amount of money to the Eastern Turks, they harmed the emperor and the people of the world, and even harmed future generations.

It is precisely because in the eyes of the aristocratic gate valve that the interests of the family are higher than the emperor and the people of the world, so knowing that the aristocratic gate valve is a double-edged sword, Yang Ming does not want to compromise with the aristocratic gate valve.

In the Great Cause Hall of the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

Yang Ming sat on the dragon chair belonging to Yang Guang. After listening to the civil and military officials in the main hall report on the situation in various parts of the Central Plains, they impatiently drove them away.

With Zhai Rang leading the Wagang army to obey Yang Ming, although there are still Shen Luoyan and Xu Shiji in Liyangcang with a group of anti-thieves to make trouble, and there are some small bands of thieves in other places, they are just some scabies. It can't be the climate at all.

What really gave Yang Ming a headache was the Kanto gate valve families who refused to be tamed.

And if it takes a long time, seeing that Yang Ming can't solve the problem of the Kanto Gate Valve Family, maybe the Guanzhong Gate Valve Family will also have problems.

"If I am entangled in these trivial matters all day long, how can I still practice martial arts? If there is really no way, it is better to simply compromise with the family gate valve, so that the world will continue to maintain the co-rule of the emperor and the family gate valve. ”

As a person who has killed the emperor with his own hands, Yang Ming naturally does not put imperial power in his eyes, the most important thing for him is the continuous improvement of his martial arts strength.

Just when Yang Ming was hesitating whether to give up the great ideal of eradicating the gate valve family and benefiting future generations for thousands of years, Concubine Xuan quietly walked into the Great Cause Palace.

"Your Royal Highness King Yi, just now Master Feige passed the book, and we have already discovered the whereabouts of Master Pei Ju. ”

"What? Found that old thing?"

Yang Ming stood up suddenly, and impatiently walked towards the concubine Xuan and said.

"Where is Master Pei now? Dealing with the affairs of the court and pacifying the Guandong Gate Valve Family, this king really doesn't want to do it for a moment. ”

Shi Feixuan took out a folded letter paper and said with a strange face.

"His Royal Highness the Righteous King, Lord Pei has now resumed the identity of the evil king Shi Zhixuan, he has summoned the two factions and six realms of the Demon Gate in Chengdu, and it seems that he intends to unify the Demon Gate. ”

took the letter paper in Concubine Xuan's hand and glanced at the contents on it. Yang Ming's heart was as if there were thousands of grass and mud horses running at the same time.

Pei Ju, this old thing, I respect you as if you were a father-in-law, whether it is the essence of the evil emperor's relics or the energy of the He's family, I will give you a share.

But you actually ran to complete your great cause of unifying the Demon Gate at the important moment when I appeased the Kanto Gate Valve Family, did you pit your son-in-law to death like this.

If Pei Ju appeared in front of Yang Ming at this time, Yang Ming would even have the mind to kill him with a sword.

looked at Yang Ming's suppressed angry face. Concubine Shi couldn't help but say.

"Your Highness, I know that you have been worrying about appeasing the Kanto Gate Valve Family. If Your Highness agrees, can you let Concubine Xuan relieve your worries?"

Yang Ming shook his head and said.

"This king has the best martial arts in the world and has heavy soldiers, he can't make them succumb, how can you appease them, concubine, a weak woman?"

Although Concubine Xuan has a peerless fairy beauty, she can only make young men fall in love with her and obey her.

However, most of the heads of the Kanto Gate Valve family were over fifty years old, so how could they be shaken because of the beauty of the concubine.

The concubine pursed her lips and smiled, and said confidently.

"Concubine Xuan's ability is limited. Naturally, it can't appease them. However, the master has a wide range of contacts, and he can persuade them to contribute to His Highness. ”

"Let Fan Qinghui convince them?"

Seeing the senior concubine nodding, Yang Ming couldn't help frowning.

It's not that he doubts Fan Qinghui's ability.

When Fan Qinghui walked the rivers and lakes, I don't know how many heirs of the family gate valves became her admirers, including Li Yuan, the head of the four major gate valves, and Song Quan, the strongest Song valve owner of the four major gate valves.

If Fan Qinghui can come out, it will be easy to replace Yang Ming to appease the gate valve of the Kanto family.

But the relationship between Yang Ming and Fan Qinghui is not an exaggeration to say that they are mortal enemies.

If Yang Ming let Fan Qinghui replace him to appease the Guandong Gate Valve Family. That is equivalent to owing Fan Qinghui and Buddhism favors, and when Cihang Jingzhai and Buddhism are weakened in the future, this favor will inevitably be repaid.

"Concubine Xuan's proposal is good. But how can the major affairs of the state be entrusted to the female streamers? This king should personally go to Chengdu and invite Pei Shi back to preside over the overall situation!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Ming still refused to accept Cihang Jingzhai's kindness, and the senior concubine said with a frown.

"Guanzhong Dugu Valve presides over the overall situation in Chang'an, if His Royal Highness leaves, Luoyang will be unmanned, and there will inevitably be turmoil in the Central Plains. ”

As the successor of Cihang Jingzhai. Shi Feixuan naturally didn't want Pei Ju, the head of the Demon Gate, to return to Luoyang to preside over the government.

Yang Ming smiled indifferently and said.

"Concubine Xuan, don't worry! No matter how chaotic the Central Plains is, where can it be? Could it be that the thief army led by Shen Luoyan and Xu Shiji can still capture Luoyang and occupy the Central Plains?"

It is undeniable that Shen Luoyan's talent can be called Zhuge among women, and Xu Shiji is also a natural general.

It's a pity that it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. There are no soldiers, horses, no money and food, and the rabble of thieves in the hands of Shen Luoyan and Xu Shiji wants to attack Luoyang, which is definitely self-defeating.

For example, if the general trend is clear today, even if the Guandong Gate Valve Family does not want to surrender to Yang Ming, they will not give money and grain to Shen Luoyan and Xu Shiji in vain.

Seeing that she couldn't convince Yang Ming, the concubine retreated and said secondly.

"Since His Royal Highness has made up his mind, can you take Concubine Xuan to Chengdu together?"

"Master Pei convened the demons and monsters of the two factions and six sects of the Demon Gate in Chengdu to hold a meeting of the Demon Gate, if this king is there to kill, there will definitely be no way to distract and protect Concubine Xuan, so Concubine Xuan will stay in Luoyang to protect Ji'er! After I leave, let Ji'er sit in Luoyang as a princess. ”

After all, Luoyang is the eastern capital of the Great Sui Empire, and there are still some loyal ministers of the Great Sui and loyal Yang Guang.

Yang Ming, the world's biggest rebel and thief, can't get the allegiance of these Great Sui loyal ministers sitting in Luoyang, but if Yang Ji'er is in Luoyang, these Great Sui loyal ministers will definitely be willing to assist the princess to maintain the stability of Luoyang and the Central Plains.

After arranging the affairs of Luoyang, Yang Ming set off for Chengdu the next day.

The Tang State Mansion in Taiyuan City.

I don't know when, Li Shimin began a life of drunkenness and drunkenness.

Since Li Yuan began to support Yang Guang as a puppet emperor, because there was no enemy in Hebei that the Li family could crusade against, Li Yuan took away all the military power in Li Shimin's hands.

Without military power in hand, Li Shimin's political talent is far inferior to that of his eldest brother Li Jiancheng, and he has no good way to pass the time except for getting drunk.

It was already afternoon, but Li Shimin was lying drunk on the floor of the room, with a wine jar scattered around him, and even his clothes were soaked with wine.

Although he is not the heir of the prince of the Tang State Mansion, Li Shimin is Li Yuan's son-in-law after all, and there are no less than ten servants in the mansion who serve him, the second son.

But under Li Shimin's strict order, those maids and servants all stood in the courtyard, and they didn't dare to enter the room to clean up the mess.

When Li Yuan, who had a gloomy face, entered the room and saw that his favorite son had become what he was now, he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on his face.

If it weren't for Li Yuan's great love for Li Shimin, the second son, and even let him threaten Li Jiancheng, the heir of the son, how could Cihang Jingzhai be dizzy and choose Li Shimin as the true dragon son.

In terms of political talent, Li Shimin is far inferior to Li Jiancheng.

Maybe Li Shimin has a natural talent for being a general, but Li Jing, Xu Shiji and others are all born as generals.

The only thing that makes Li Shimin different is that he is the son of Li Yuan, and Li Yuan is the leader of the Guanlong aristocratic group.

If Li Shimin is not Li Yuan's son, even if he has the talent of a general, he can only be someone else's courtier like Li Jing and Xu Shiji.

Let Li Shimin rebel and become the emperor himself, I am afraid that he may not be able to live longer than the thief army of Li Zitong and others.

It is precisely because for the Li family in Taiyuan that Li Shimin's talent as a general is not indispensable, so even with the support of the Buddhist sect headed by Cihang Jingzhai, Li Yuan never thought of replacing Li Jiancheng with Li Shimin.

Emperor Wen Yang Jian abolished Yang Yong's position as the crown prince, because Yang Yong lived a luxurious life, liked beauty and had many concubines, and also because he favored Yun Zhaoxun and killed his wife Yuan.

However, there was nothing wrong with Li Jiancheng's various actions, so that Li Yuan could not find a reason to replace Li Jiancheng with Li Shimin.

Moreover, the lesson of Yang Guang and Yang Yong's fratricidal brothers in order to compete for the throne is just around the corner, and Li Yuan is also worried that after replacing Li Jiancheng with Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, the eldest son, will be dissatisfied and will have the tragedy of fratricidal brotherhood in his head after his death.

"Idiot, why are you the way you are?"

Li Yuan sighed and stepped forward to pick up Li Shimin.

If you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk, Li Shimin's martial arts are not weak, how can he really get drunk.

Picked up from the ground by Li Yuan, Li Shimin said with a half-open drunken eye.

"Haha...... Now there are rumors outside that the child has lost his father's favor, and even his wife who has not passed through the door was snatched away by Yang Ming in Luoyang, and he has no way to get justice for himself. ”

Li Yuan frowned and said with some annoyance.

"It's just a woman! The eldest grandson brother and sister are under the fence, how can they be worthy of my family's Lin'er! As long as you have a heart, even Yang Guang's princess can become your wife. ”

"Hahahaha...... Daddy loves the child so much, so why did he take away the child's military power?"

"This ...... For the sake of the Father, it is also for your sake, lest you have some undesirable ambitions. ”

The so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's father, what kind of ambitions and ideas Li Shimin has, in fact, Li Yuan knows very clearly.

It's a pity that time doesn't wait for me, even if Sui loses his deer, the Li family has already missed the opportunity to replace him.

"All the people, all the arrangements made for the Father are for the better life of your brothers. If you can give up those ambitions and completely cut off the connection with Cihang Jingzhai, your father can give you back some military power for you to make meritorious contributions, and in the future, Your Majesty will rule the world, and you will also be able to rank with Jiancheng in the court.
