Yangzhou Marshal's Mansion, Yang Su strode in wearing armor.
"The general is here, sit down!"
Gu Cheng looked at this majestic and handsome general and raised his hand casually.
Yang Su, whether in history or in this world, is a powerful official whose loyalty is hard to distinguish.
His ability to lead troops is undeniable. Among the four famous generals of the Sui Dynasty, his tactics were not as changeable as He Ruobi, his army was not as brave as Han Qinhu, and he was not as good as Shi Wansui in leading the army, but he was the most versatile and one of the most versatile.
Being ruthless makes soldiers brave and fearless of death.
It's a pity that this person has really bad character.
He Ruobi was loud-mouthed and offended people all day long, but Yang Su was truly cruel and ruthless. Anyone who didn't like him would make things difficult for him in every possible way. He had framed many ministers, and Shi Wansui was slandered and died due to his slander.
He also built the famous Renshou Palace. In order to please Yang Jian, he wasted money and people, and tens of thousands of servants died. As soon as people died, their bodies were dragged to the roadside, piled up and burned.
Yang Jian was furious when he found out later, and Yang Su went to please Dugu Jialuo again, and talked sweetly, and was forgiven and rewarded.
The list goes on and on. It is no exaggeration to say that if this person lived until the end of the Sui Dynasty, he would be Cao Cao, a capable minister in governing the world, and a hero in troubled times. Without Li Yuan, he would be nothing.
In history, when Yang Guang ascended the throne, it was Yang Su who contributed the most.
Dugu Jialuo blew his cover and designed to overthrow Gao Xi, while Yang Su targeted the officials of the Eastern Palace and cut off their wings one by one. It took ten years for the prince to be finally deposed.
But now, Gu Cheng and Yang Su are enemies rather than friends.
Because Yang Su represents the interests of the Guanlong Group and the aristocratic family.
"Your Highness, the common people of the poor family should not be used lightly!"
Sure enough, not long after sitting down, Yang Su opened his mouth and said.
"General, don't be impatient and tell me slowly. Which family is dissatisfied?"
Gu Cheng said leisurely and authentically.
"Your Highness has misunderstood!"
Yang Su looked stern, stood up quickly, thought about his words, and said slowly: "Your Majesty wants to hold the imperial examination, but I am afraid that there are people with evil intentions who will use fraud to deceive the Holy Heart!"
Now that the five provinces and six ministries system has been perfected, Yang Jian began to consider the imperial examination.
Any wise monarch can see that the growth of a family means the weakening of imperial power.
Even if the Ninth Five-Year-Old Emperor has the title of Tianxian, if the appointment of officials under his command are all secretly controlled by aristocratic families, then in a sense, isn't the emperor just a puppet?
What's more, for more than two hundred years, the abnormal phenomenon of no poor family in the upper class and no aristocratic family in the lower class has oppressed countless talented people. Since Yang Jian abolished the law of the ninth rank palace, he naturally cannot make the same mistake again.
Undoubtedly, this move made the family feel on pins and needles, and they secretly agreed that the imperial examination system would never be allowed to flourish.
You have a good plan, and I have a plan. No matter how good the policy is, the family can mess with you.
Facts have proved that the imperial examinations in the Sui and Tang Dynasties were in name only, but now that Gu Cheng used the opportunity to quell the chaos to recruit poor families and recruit talents, Yang Su was facing a formidable enemy.
"Um!"
At this time, Gu Cheng was sipping tea and nodded noncommittally.
"Your Highness?"
Yang Su waited for a long time for the word um, and her face froze.
This time last year, both of them were marching marshals, but Yang Su had been leading troops since Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and had great power, while King Jin was the nominal commander. There was a huge power gap, so Yang Su was only superficially respectful.
But now, it is no longer the King of Jin, but the Crown Prince.
In particular, Yang Jian entrusted military and civilian affairs to his son in order to calm his son's heart. Even Yang Su could only obey his orders without disobedience.
"Then according to the general's wishes, who can be used?"
Feeling uneasy, Gu Cheng put down his teacup and asked calmly.
"Please take a look at it, Your Highness!"
Yang Su's eyes flickered slightly and he presented a list that had been prepared in his sleeve.
"The Gao family of Yuezhou, the Li family of Jiangshan, the Cai family of Le'an..."
Gu Cheng nodded slightly: "Are they all loyal and good?"
"We all serve the heavenly army and surrender early!"
Yang Sudao.
"Okay! I'll use it as a token of my love!"
Gu Chengzhan smiled: "General, your hard work has yielded great results, let's have a meal together!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After a seemingly enjoyable but actually tasteless lunch, Yang Su returned to the mansion and her face suddenly turned gloomy.
In fact, Gu Cheng is not the only one who supports the self-respect of bandits.
Gao Xihui was defeated by Song Que because he preferred to govern the country, the deployment of the three armies was feasible, and he was not as good as the famous generals in charging and fighting.
However, Yang Su had 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Sui Dynasty, but he still could not put down the rebellion. It was not that Song Que was against heaven, but that he was deliberately indulgent.
Taking this opportunity, he placed a large number of cronies in the army while recruiting talents from Jiangnan families.
Under normal circumstances, when Nanchen is completely restored, the person who will benefit most is not the court, but Yang Su and the Guanlong Group behind him.
Unexpectedly, he met his opponent. Song Que discovered this and took advantage of Yang Su's selfishness to survive in death. It turned out to be a climate.
As a result, Yang Su became really anxious and rushed to send back the military information.
Then, the prince waited...
Isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot?
"It is useless to think too much, the only way is to put down the rebellion quickly..."
Yang Su was also a hero of his generation, and he quickly put his regrets behind him, ordered his subordinates to submit military reports, and thought deeply about it.
"They are all tasteless, tasteless to eat, and a pity to throw away!"
On the other side, Gu Cheng shook his hand, fire appeared, and the list of Jiangnan aristocratic families turned into ashes and dispersed.
The relationship between the aristocratic family is so intricate that he cannot see through the many traps involved, but he knows that neither Yang Su's true cronies nor enemies are there.
If that's the case, what's the deal with him?
"Your Highness!"
A loud voice came, and He Ruobi stepped into the courtyard with a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "Yang Su is too hateful. He has so much military power that I can't mobilize him!"
"Take your time!"
Gu Cheng had already expected it.
Although the Duke of Song Dynasty was good at both civil and military affairs, he had flaws in his character and could not defeat the cunning and cunning Yang Su.
"It's hard to put the magic door in the open. There really is no one to use it!"
It was impossible for Gu Cheng to do everything by himself, so he sighed slightly, turned his left palm over, and the seal of Shanhe Sheji appeared in his palm.
In order to protect him from entering this world, this mysterious weapon exhausted all its power. "Fire" and "De" have fallen into a deep sleep. I am afraid that they will not wake up until "Fu", who has transformed into a war temple.
So what Gu Cheng was looking at at this time was the small whirlpool in the mountains and rivers, the world of the Song Dynasty.
The vortex shrinks and then expands, undergoing a key transformation and upgrading of the world, but until now, it has not been completed.
This is uncomfortable.
Because of the characteristics of the low-martial world, the men and horses inside cannot be brought out at all.
Why is it always stuck at the bottleneck?
Gu Cheng had a vague guess.
"In one year, I have fully understood the Cihang Sword Canon, which is enough for me to try..."
Now, his five fingers are slightly open, and the lofty artistic conception is born, with emotion and ruthlessness, the fairy embryo is dark, and as soon as the glory falls, it falls like a meteor, straight into the center of the whirlpool.
