Chapter 3 Ups and Downs (5)

Yu Wenshiji was very disappointed with the content of the imperial edict. With his face as a prince-in-law and such a generous gift, he could not get a first-level promotion for his friend! How could such an unreasonable thing happen?! If he made the same decision

The person who made the contribution was a child of a noble family. Even if he was born in a third-rate family like Li Yuan or Xue Shixiong, I am afraid that the person who made the contribution would have already been granted the title of marquis or uncle, or even led an entire bodyguard. However, apart from a few good words, Li Xu

So far, he has received nothing. Not only has his official position remained unchanged, he has not even received a single cent of the honors set up by the imperial court to reward military merit. (Note 1)

'It turns out that without the face of the Yuwen family, I am nothing!' Disappointed, Yuwen Shiji began to feel sorry for himself. 'If it were his father or eldest brother who came forward at this moment, the officials in the court who relied on the Yuwen family would still say in unison

Say good things about Asahi? But if it were me, the same proposal would be insignificant!'

He was so preoccupied with complaining that he completely forgot about the fact that Xu Zi's military rank was already half a rank higher than his own. Under such circumstances, if the court further promoted Xu Zi or granted him a title, he would never be able to do anything in the future.

He wanted to bring Xuzi under his control. Yuwenshu once used this method to successfully get Xuzi out of Li Yuan's control. Of course, he could not tolerate the same setback on his own son. Therefore, the old general Yuwenshu spared no effort to

The emperor praised Li Xu's martial arts in front of him and described him as a fighter who was as brave as any other man. In order to create opportunities for his son, he even hinted to his confidants that no one was allowed to step forward for Yuwen Shiji until his contribution was confirmed.

The wild boy who came from a poor family spoke. However, this willing approach was jointly resisted by other families. In the eyes of Yuwenshu, only one of his sons was rewarded for his meritorious service. But in the eyes of others, it meant that the Yuwen family's

Yi Zhong, who has become stronger again, has threatened the balance of power among several major families in the imperial court.

At present, the Yuwen family is not the only one in the court who wants to suppress Xu Zi. As Yu Wenshu expected that day, the wealthy families such as Gao, Yang, Wang, Yu, and Dou did not expect that a reckless man with unknown origins and uncertain stance would suddenly appear among them.

Later generations. From the moment when the army attacked the Liaodong division, two or three memorials for impeaching Xiongwu Lang Li Xu, who used the opportunity of military training to exclude dissidents and harm the soldiers, appeared in the emperor's imperial tent every day. As for the impeachment of Xu Zi in Dong

It is not uncommon to see memorials in which subordinates were allowed to commit murder and arson during the march, deliberately tarnishing the image of the Celestial Dynasty.

To the surprise of several big families, some officials from second-rate families in the imperial court began to support Li Xu. They believed that the imperial court was now in the midst of employing people, and unclear rewards and punishments would not be conducive to inspiring heroes to devote themselves to the country. Moreover, the country

Employers should value their abilities rather than their origins. The Sui Dynasty began to emphasize this principle since the reign of the late emperor. Whenever it was implemented, there were always people who held back. The current experience of Li Xu, a powerful general, is a living example.

He did not make any mistakes and saved his robe twice in front of the Mazhai River. Not only did the court not award or reward such extraordinary achievements, but it also allowed some people with ulterior motives to suppress the heroes. It really made the world's heroes

Cold teeth.

Although there were important ministers staying in both the East and the West, some important matters that the ministers did not dare to make decisions on their own were sent to Yang Guang's residence by horseback every day. Due to the failure of the Eastern Expedition for more than a year, the border of the Sui Dynasty

The tribes that once surrendered are ready to move one by one, and the bandits and bandits in various places are also being suppressed. Reading these memorials every day has made Yang Guang's head feel as big as a fight. Therefore, in the past few days, the forces of the DPRK and China have turned against an unknown person.

His boring behavior of throwing dirty water really didn't arouse his desire to interfere.

But the ministers just couldn't understand his tolerance. Just the day before yesterday, Pei Yun, the imperial censor, once again proposed that in order to encourage the soldiers to serve the country, the court should heavily reward those soldiers who made great contributions to the country during this year's Eastern Expedition. But he always knew how to do so.

Pei Ju, the minister of Huangmen who understood the holy will, also rashly agreed with this view and suggested that His Majesty the Emperor immediately confer a title on General Li. As soon as the Pei brothers' proposal came out, the whole court was in chaos! What can the civil and military officials do?

Mobilizing the power of the whole country and quickly extinguishing Yang Xuangan and the rebellions in various places, they did not mention major matters, but started fighting over conflicts as big as sesame seeds and mung beans. Yang Guang was so angry that he was trembling all over. According to his temperament, he quickly promoted Li Xu to two levels and sealed him.

As a count, it was not an unreasonable decision. But his years of experience in governing made him suppress the holy edict that came to his lips back into his stomach.

Pei Yun and his fellow officials have never been outspoken people. If they don't have any intention, they will not stand up for an unknown junior. Besides, Li Xu is not from a famous family, and he has not had anything to do with the Pei family so far.

In order to seek credit for him, Pei Yun did not hesitate to offend several other wealthy families, and the sacrifice he made was too great.

Thinking of this, Yang Guang postponed his decision again. As a result, as soon as he hesitated, someone brought up the old incident of Li Xu's unknown apprenticeship. "Jing Chen secretly sent someone to investigate, Li Xu and the late rebel

Sun Anzu once had a close relationship with him. Someone in Liaodong once heard him claim that Sun Anzu had a master-disciple relationship with him!"

"Get this person out of here!" Yang Guang slapped the imperial court and ordered his people to take the informer out of the imperial tent for self-examination. It has been almost a full year since Sun Anzu died in the gang fight, and yet someone still mentions it without opening his eyes.

His name. So what if Li Xu had a relationship with him back then? Li Xu entered Liaodong to serve the country first, and Sun Anzu rebelled later. There is no connection between the two!

When the ministers saw that His Majesty the Emperor was angry, the arguments among them immediately became quieter. Finally, everyone came to a compromise plan, and the imperial court immediately issued an order to commend the officers and soldiers of the Xiongwu Camp who had made great contributions to the country. They should be promoted and given money.

Grant money. The reward for the commander of the Xiongwu Camp and the supervisory army, but because they have done so much, they have to wait for a public discussion among the ministers before making a decision.

"Is this the Great Sui Dynasty that I want?" Yang Guang looked at the piles of memorials on the imperial court and sneered. The matters that needed to be decided by public discussion two days ago have not yet been discussed by the ministers. If there is no decree on the reward, the Ministry of War will

It was not easy to place the heroic and capable Xiongwu Battalion at the key position to exterminate the rebels. The imperial court was procrastinating, and the lies concocted by Yang Xuangan to express the rationality of his rebellion spread more and more widely as refugees from various places fled.

.

Rumors say that the emperor was not in the right position because he relied on a trick to kill his own brother to obtain the right to inherit the throne. In order to consolidate his power, he killed one biological brother and two biological brothers. Even his biological uncle,

The once powerful general Yang Shuang also died due to his conspiracy.

If he was just attacking himself for doing whatever it took to obtain imperial power, Yang Guang would not feel very aggrieved. Whether the evidence of these things is conclusive or false, it is an indisputable fact that he seized the throne as his younger brother. But rumors say that he is greedy for power.

He was lustful, held a grudge because he couldn't get the concubine of Empress Chen, and then killed the hero without any guilt, which was too much for him to bear.

Gao Ying was indeed executed by his order. However, Gao Ying had always sided with Yang Yong in the struggle for the throne, and his influence in the army was deeply entangled. No emperor who had won the throne would tolerate such an outrage.

The thorn has existed for a long time. To say that he harbored a grudge against Gao Ying because of his admiration for the Queen of the Southern Dynasties, Zhang Lihua, is simply a slander. Yang Guang asked himself about the suave nature. He was only twenty years old when he conquered Chen in the Southern Dynasty. As a twenty-year-old young hero, he admired a young hero.

Only a blind man who is over forty would do such a boring thing!

"Except for Gao Ying, I have never treated anyone poorly!" Looking at Yang Xuangan's message calling on the heroes of the world to raise armies to depose the emperor, Yang Guang sighed aggrievedly. Shangshu Zuopushe Su Wei was his father's old prime minister, and he appointed him as his successor.

Pushe and Nayan served as first-class civil servants for more than ten years. Nayan and Yang Da began to serve during the reign of the late emperor, and he allowed him to be re-elected until his death. There are also Xiao Cong, Yang Yue, Pei Ju, and Pei Yun,

Yu Wenshu, who among these people is not a veteran who has served for ten or twenty years, why should I treat them half-heartedly? He said that he likes to kill heroes, where is the evidence, where are the facts?

"If we compare who doesn't covet beauty, I will definitely rank among the top five emperors in the past. If we compare who doesn't kill heroes indiscriminately, I can also rank in the top ten among the emperors in the past. When it comes to martial arts, which one

The emperor once annexed the enemy country before he was twenty years old? If we were to rule by law, who would have been called the Khan of Heaven by that country like me!" The more Yang Guang thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and his eyes almost burst into flames.

'But I am the king of a country and cannot condescend to argue with bandits and bandits. But those ignorant people enjoy spreading rumors and never want to prove their authenticity!' He looked around with flaming eyes, looking for something.

Let me vent my anger. I scanned around and found a lot of boring memorials, but I really couldn't find any trash that could be thrown down.

"Wow!" Yang Guang swept all the memorials in front of him to the ground. Several eunuchs who were serving him in the imperial tent to read the memorials rushed forward and picked up the things written by the courtiers in their arms. "Don't move!" Yang

Guang Guang shouted loudly to stop, stepped forward, snatched the memorial from the eunuchs' arms, and threw it into the air again with a laugh.

"I am not a foolish king!" he shouted with a bit of madness, "They are all slandering, slandering!" The memorials were flying in the air like goose feathers, and the eunuchs were so frightened that they hid in the corner of the tent and shivered.

"Come here and kick with me!" Yang Guang kicked the fallen memorial into the air one after another. While venting his anger, he extended an invitation to the eunuchs. He suddenly understood why those who had been impeaching General Li Lang these days

So many, simply because he couldn't defend himself one by one.

"You can't defend yourself, and I can't defend myself!" Yang Guang laughed wildly, realizing that there was no difference between his situation and that of the young general. At this moment, he felt that he was not even as good as Li Xu. Li

After all, Xu has an emperor who makes decisions for him, but he has nothing but the throne. (To be continued)
