After the confrontation between the North and the South ended, there were three major forces in the Great Sui Empire. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The first is the Guanlong aristocratic group centered on Guanzhong, who made great contributions to the establishment of the Great Sui to unify the world by supporting Emperor Wen Yang Jian to replace the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and were the strongest in the Great Sui Empire.

The second is the Kwantung aristocratic group left by the Northern Qi Dynasty, although their strength is not as strong as the Guanlong aristocratic group, but they are also a decisive force in the Great Sui Empire.

Finally, the Jiangnan aristocratic group left by Nan Chen is also the weakest gate valve strength of the Great Sui Empire.

Yang Guang changed Yangzhou to Jiangdu, became the third capital of the Great Sui Empire, and opened the Grand Canal to connect the north and south, just to enhance the strength and status of the Jiangnan aristocratic group, and to use the Jiangnan aristocratic group to balance the Guanlong aristocratic group and the Kwantung aristocratic group.

Although Yang Guang's idea was very good, the reality slapped him hard, and the Jiangnan aristocratic group not only did not become Yang Guang's helper to balance the Guanlong aristocratic group and the Kanto aristocratic group, but joined forces with them to destroy the Great Sui River.

Now that Yang Ming has become the master of Chang'an City, the 110,000 army led by Chen Botu shocked the Guanlong aristocratic group in Guanzhong, as long as Yang Ming has the heart, even if he really kills the Guanlong aristocratic group, he can do it.

However, killing the gate valve family in the pass will only make Yang Ming the enemy of all the gate valve families in the world, and those gate valve families will do their best to support Yang Ming's enemies in order to save the family.

Therefore, Yang Ming also gave the gate valve family in Guanzhong a ray of life.

The status of one of the four major valves of the Dugu valve was originally based on marriage with the royal family. Therefore, Yang Ming asked the gate valve family to hand over all the family soldiers, and the Dugu valve was not really unacceptable.

After Pei Ju visited the Dugu family overnight as the head of the Wenxi Pei family, Dugu Valve summoned all the gate valve families in Chang'an City to enter the palace to meet Yang Ming the next day.

In the Hanyuan Hall of the Chang'an Imperial Palace. Yang Ming sat on Yang Guang's dragon chair and met with Pei Ju, Duguce, and the heads of all the gate valve families in Chang'an City.

After everyone saluted Yang Ming, Duguce stood in the middle of the hall and said to Yang Ming.

"Your Highness the Righteous King, after everyone has consulted, we are willing to hand over all the soldiers in our respective clans, but Your Highness must also protect our families from the harassment of the rebels. When the imperial court recruits officials, it also gives me and other families a chance to compete fairly. ”

Although Duguce's words sounded more like a transaction, Yang Ming didn't want to drive these people to a dead end, so he frowned and nodded.

"As long as you are loyal to the Great Sui. The soldiers of the Great Sui will naturally protect your safety. As for the selection of officials by the imperial court, if your people are truly talented and practical, the imperial court will not take into account their origins. ”

this era. Although the Great Sui Empire has begun to implement the imperial examination system, even if the scholars who are truly talented in governing the country are not from a family of gate valves, they must be inextricably linked with the family of men or the Shu family, and it is simply unrealistic to cut off the control of the government by the family of door valves now.

After hearing Yang Ming's assurance. The heads of the gate valve families in the main hall all breathed a sigh of relief.

Look at them as if they are the aftermath of the catastrophe. The corners of Yang Ming's mouth hooked up a sneer.

Now the time has not come, when the world is calm, if he asks all the gate valve families in the world to hand over the land obtained by the merger, I don't know what kind of face these gate valve families will be.

In today's era, limited to the fact that overseas trade is not well developed, the Great Sui Empire is still based on an agrarian-based economic model, and letting these gate lord families hand over land can definitely force them to the point of rebellion.

[Yang Guang, Yang Guang, one day I will let you see it. One day, there will be no gate valve family in this Great Sui world that owns a lot of land. 】

After Duguce left the palace with the heads of those gate valve families, Yang Ming and Pei Ju walked around the imperial garden of the palace.

It's the middle of winter. Although Chang'an City is not as cold and snowy as Liaodong, it is also cold, and only the cold plum is still in full bloom, exuding the fragrance of flowers.

"Master Pei is very capable! persuade the family of gate lords in Chang'an City to hand over all the family soldiers, what means did Master Pei use?"

Pei Ju shook his head with a wry smile and said.

"I just persuaded You Chuhong, the old woman of the Dugu family, and then told the heads of the gate valve family with Dugu Ce that Dugu Valve and Pei Ju were willing to take the lead in handing over all the family soldiers, and they agreed to His Highness's request. ”

Although the Dugu valve is the weakest gate valve among the four major gate valves, it is one of the four major gate valves after all.

Wenxi Pei's family is also second only to the four major gate valves, plus Pei Ju and Pei Yun are important ministers who have won Yang Guang's trust, Wenxi Pei's family has become the leader of the Guanlong aristocratic group.

Even the Dugu Valve and the Wenxi Pei family were willing to hand over all the family soldiers, and those gate valve families in Chang'an City who did not have many soldiers naturally couldn't find a reason to oppose Yang Ming.

Moreover, the purpose of these gate lord families to raise family soldiers is to preserve the family, if it is because of the family soldiers that Yang Ming dispatches the Xiaoguo Army to destroy them, it will become putting the cart before the horse.

"After those gate lord families hand over all the family soldiers, there will be at least 150,000 available soldiers in Guanzhong, and even if the king is not there, it will be enough to protect himself. ”

After Yang Ming's words were finished, Pei Ju nodded and said.

"It's a pity that there are no generals in Guanzhong, otherwise we can send a large army to occupy Bashu and connect Guanzhong and Bashu. ”

Although Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away from Guanzhong, is the foundation of the king's hegemony, only by obtaining Bashu in the country of abundance can the Qin State truly achieve the trend of the Qin State sweeping Liuhe.

Yang Ming naturally knew that Pei Ju hoped that he would end the troubled times of the Great Sui as soon as possible, so as not to have any unexpected variables, but unfortunately he was really unavailable now.

has a foresight of history, Yang Ming also knows that Li Jing, Xu Shiji and others are all famous generals who have won all battles.

It's a pity that although he, His Royal Highness the Righteous King, is in a high position, he is neither from a family of gate lords, nor is he the orthodox bloodline of the Great Sui royal family, and none of those Wenchen generals who have left a name in history have taken the initiative to come over to Yang Ming.

Even if there are no Wenchen generals to serve, Yang Ming himself can dominate the world, and with his arrogance, he naturally disdains to play any tricks to visit those Wenchen generals.

"Although Xie Hui of Bashu married Song Que. But Xie Hui has always been infatuated with Fan Qinghui, but he is afraid that Xie Hui will lead Bashu to support Li Yuan's father and son under the persuasion of Fan Qinghui. ”

Hearing Yang Ming's words, Pei Ju's eyes widened at first. Then he said with a smile.

"Not to mention a mere Bashu, even if Li Yuan and his son pacified the land of Hebei, now the Western Regions and the grassland are under our control, Li Yuan and his son, Dou Jiande, Luo Yi and others have long been in our pocket. ”

Yang Ming shook his head and said.

The reason why I want to sweep away the Eastern and Western Turks and the Tibetan tribes is not really to let the soldiers enter the Central Plains, but just to end the chaos in the Central Plains without any worries. If I really let the soldiers enter the Central Plains, not to mention how the people of the world think of me. If you don't control it well, those soldiers may repeat the disaster of the five chaos of the past. ”

"Your Highness's thoughts are really ...... I thought you were more ruthless and decisive than Yang Guang, but I didn't expect you to have the kindness of a woman. ”

When the soldiers on the grassland enter the Central Plains, it is indeed possible to lose control and harm the people of the Central Plains. But it can help Yang Ming sweep away the anti-thief forces in Hebei as soon as possible.

Yang Ming's choice now is not only to let those anti-thief forces thrive in Hebei, but also to use the land of Guanzhong to fight against all the anti-thief forces in the world.

The most important thing is, can the Lingnan Song family really be trusted?

In the past two years, the strength of the Song family has swelled several times, if it were not for the Western Regions Protectorate, which controlled hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Eastern and Western Turks and the Tibetan Tribes. Pei Judu felt that there was no need for the current Song family to cooperate with Yang Ming at all. The Song family can now sweep the world by themselves.

What Pei Ju can think of, Yang Ming himself can certainly think of.

However, Yang Ming is familiar with the plot of the original work, and he knows Song Que's character better than Pei Ju.

Since Song Que agreed to support Yang Ming to unify the world, even if there are people within the Song family who oppose it, Song Que's decision will not change in any way.

"Master Pei doesn't have to worry about me! Even if there are really any unexpected variables in the general trend of the world, can't you kill that variable with your and my martial arts?"

Unconsciously, Yang Ming and Pei Ju had already passed through the Imperial Garden to the Taiye Pool. Just as the two of them were about to leave the palace, they suddenly heard the laughter of Yang Yu, the acting king, from the Taiye Pool.

Yang Ming and Pei Ju glanced at each other. Then the two of them followed the prestige, and saw Yang Yun, the acting king, standing in a pavilion in the Taiye Pool, smiling happily.

In the pond not far in front of the acting king Yang Yu, a white figure was stepping on the lotus leaves on the water surface and flying around in the Taiye pool, and the wonderful figure seemed to be a celestial maiden flying.

Yang Ming and Pei Ju had excellent eyesight, and naturally they could see at a glance that the person who performed the exquisite light gong body method and stepped on the lotus leaves in the Taiye Pool was Yang Ji'er.

"I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the Princess to be so subtle in her light exercises! This set of body methods is taken from the [I Ching Sixty-four Hexagrams] is extremely mysterious, and I am afraid that it is not under my [Illusion Demon Body Method] when practiced to the highest level. ”

Pei Ju only observed for a while, and then he saw the subtlety of Yang Ji'er's [Ling Bo Micro Step], and then he looked at Yang Ming and said with a smile.

"In the Great Sui royal family, there should not be such a superb light gong body method! Your Royal Highness knows the origin of this set of light exercises practiced by Her Royal Highness the princess?"

Yang Ming glared at Pei Ju angrily, and said impatiently.

"When did Master Pei become so eventful, it's not too early now, Master Pei should hurry up and go back and be a good father to Senior Sister Qingxuan!"

Pei Ju turned his head, glanced at Yang Ji'er with deep meaning, and then left with a big laugh.

"This old fox!"

Looking at the back of Pei Ju leaving, Yang Ming showed a helpless expression for the first time.

I'm afraid that Pei Ju has already regarded Yang Ji'er as Yang Ming's weakness at this time, and plans to use Yang Ji'er to threaten Yang Ming, just like Yang Ming threatened him with Shi Qingxuan.

Although Yang Ming and Pei Ju are still in a cooperative relationship now, if Shi Zhixuan, the evil king at the head of the Demon Gate, can believe it, then there will be no more untrustworthy people in the world.

Fortunately, Pei Ju also has the weakness of Shi Qingxuan, and now Yang Ming is just standing on an equal relationship with Pei Ju, as long as Yang Ming can still use Shi Qingxuan to threaten Pei Ju, Pei Ju will not be able to make a move against Yang Jier.

Without Pei Ju, an outsider, present, Yang Ming walked directly to the pavilion of Taiye Pool, standing beside Yang Yu, the acting king, and admiring Yang Jier's posture.

When Yang Ming taught [Lingbo Weibu] to Yang Jier two years ago, Yang Jier was still an ordinary girl who didn't know martial arts.

But now Yang Ji'er already has a profound skill equivalent to a first-class master, and although her [Ling Bo Weibu] has not been practiced to the highest level, her exquisite body technique and fast speed are enough to protect herself in front of the innate master.

When Yang Ji'er walked through all the hexagrams of [Ling Bo Weibu], he finally jumped and flew towards the pavilion.

When Yang Ji'er landed in the pavilion, Yang Yu, the acting king, immediately clapped his hands happily and shouted.

"Okay! Aunt Huang is so powerful! The martial arts just now Aunt Huang also taught Yu'er, Yu'er wants to learn!"

Although Yang Yu, the acting king, was precocious, he was still a twelve-year-old child after all, and it was also the age when he was curious about martial arts.

Yang Ji'er reached out and touched Yang Yu's head, and said with a gentle smile.

"Good girl, my aunt has something to say to His Royal Highness King Yi, you go back to your mother first, and your aunt will teach you martial arts later. ”

Yang Yu glanced at Yang Ming in fear, then nodded to Yang Ji'er and turned around and ran away.

Although he knew that Yang Ming was his elder Uncle Wang, his mother Wei told him every day that he must be respectful when he sees Yang Ming, and it is best not to stay in front of Yang Ming.

Yang Jier and Wei didn't want Yang Yu to stay in front of Yang Ming, probably because they were worried that Yang Yu would say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing in front of Yang Ming, causing Yang Ming to want to kill him.

But Yang Ming originally disdained to bully orphans and widows, even if Yang Yu really had any resentment towards him, Yang Ming would not kill a twelve-year-old child.

Without Yang Yu, the little guy who was in the way, Yang Ming's eyes looked Yang Ji'er up and down, and finally stopped at her expressionless face.

"Is Jill so upset to see me? Brother likes the smile you showed to Yang Yu just now!"

Yang Ji'er lowered her head slightly, and said in an emotionless voice.

"If His Royal Highness King Yi wants to see me laugh, then order me! Now you are the lord of Chang'an City with a large army, and the life and death of all of our Great Sui royal family are in your hands, and the little girl is of course no exception. ”

"Jill...... In order to meet you again, I also made a special gift for you in the Western Regions, if you keep using this attitude to me......"

"Is His Royal Highness the Righteous King going to kill me? ”

After Yang Ji'er finished speaking, she closed her eyes as if she was at home.

Seeing her like this, Yang Ming took a deep breath, and then raised his right-handed sword and pointed it at Yang Ji'er's armpit.

"Uhhh

The itch under her armpit was attacked, Yang Ji'er immediately stared at Yang Ming with wide eyes, and then Yang Ming urged Zhenyuan to pour into her itch, Yang Ji'er's cheeks immediately turned red, and soon she couldn't help but open her small mouth and laugh.

"Ahh......h Let me go...... Hehehaha...... It's so itchy...... Hehehaha...... How can you ...... like that?"

Yang Ji'er couldn't help laughing as she turned her body to get rid of Yang Ming's fingers, but Yang Ming also moved her body with her, and her two fingers kept tightly attached to her armpits.

"Hehehaha...... No more...... Hehe...... I really can't do it anymore...... Ha ha...... Please spare me...... Hehehaha...... Brother Royal...... Brother ...... Emperor"

Hearing this long-awaited salutation, Yang Ming stopped with satisfaction and withdrew his fingers from Yang Jier's armpit.

Yang Ji'er was originally turning her body, but Yang Ming suddenly stopped, and she rushed forward with her head and crashed into Yang Ming's arms.

"Jill, are you finally willing to recognize me as a brother?"

"I ...... Brother Huang, are you really still my brother......? Can it still be the same as it used to be?" (To be continued.) )
