Not long after, Fang Xuanling escorted Yang Shicheng into Wang Can's study. He bowed to Wang Can, turned to look at Yang Shicheng, and scolded: "Yang Shicheng, when you meet the imperial master, why don't you do it?"
Kneel down."
thump!
Yang Shicheng knelt down, knelt on the ground with his head, and shouted: "Master, I am unjust for my humble position, I am unjust for my humble position!"
Wang Can said: "What are you wronged about?"
Yang Shicheng replied: "Although the humble position connects some officials, it is all for the sake of the Imperial Preceptor! What was the Great Sui Dynasty like before the Imperial Preceptor took charge of the Sui Dynasty?"
"There is already smoke everywhere, and wind is leaking from all directions."
"Because of the Imperial Guards, the Great Sui Dynasty stabilized, and it was able to expand its territory and achieve today's prosperity. All of this was achieved through the hard work of the Imperial Guards, but what about Yang Guang?"
"What did Yang Guang do?"
"He didn't do anything. He only focused on practicing cultivation all day long, hoping to prolong his life and live forever."
Yang Shicheng said: "Such Yang Guang is a foolish emperor. As an emperor, he should handle the affairs of the state, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and make the Sui Kingdom peaceful and peaceful, but he did nothing."
Yang Shicheng looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and continued: "The Sui Dynasty does not need such an emperor. What we need is someone like the Imperial Preceptor who works hard to govern, so he despises his position and has the courage to implore the Imperial Preceptor to ascend the throne."
"There is absolutely no difference between our hearts and minds."
"All this is for the national master."
"If the Imperial Master wants to kill me, I am willing to die. Imperial Master, I am sincere, and everyone is also sincere. We all hope that the Imperial Master can ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible."
Yang Shicheng said: "I sincerely ask the imperial master to be able to obey nature and respond to people."
After Wang Can heard this, he immediately laughed.
This Yang Shicheng is interesting.
If you want to be a person who supports the dragon, if you want to have the merit of supporting the dragon, you can actually say such righteous words. After all, Master Yang is a person who is a boaster and has no real ability, so he can only start from this aspect.
Wang Can flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Not to mention that I will never betray Your Majesty or the Sui Dynasty. Your support alone is driven by interests, and it is not someone who obeys nature. You
In the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, you don't do your job properly and don't think about making progress all day long. If you weren't from the royal family due to your age, you would have been expelled from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion long ago. But now, you are deceiving and deceiving everyone with your evil words, you deserve to die!"
"No!"
Yang Shicheng shouted: "The humble duty is indeed a sincere heart, all for the national teacher!"
He doesn't want to die.
He didn't even want to die.
Wang Can narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Didn't you just say that I asked you to die and you were willing to die? Why are you saying no now?"
Yang Shicheng's expression changed drastically.
Now, he was extremely panicked in his heart, because he originally thought that supporting Wang Can would be a foolproof thing, but he did not expect that such a change would happen now.
In fact, he was actually arrested.
Wang Can coldly ordered: "Come here, take Yang Shicheng down and kill him!"
After a pause, Wang Can continued: "Fang Xuanling and the rest of the people who were bewitched by Yang Shicheng were dismissed from their official positions and expelled from the Imperial Prefecture, although they were exempted from the death penalty."
"Here!"
After Fang Xuanling agreed, she took Yang Shicheng and left.
Yang Shicheng shouted: "Master, you can't do this to me, you can't kill me. If you kill me, you will definitely lose people's hearts. You are so stubborn and ineffective, you are like a pimple!"
Wang Can sneered when he heard this.
If he wanted to stay in the Sui Dynasty, he would have usurped the throne and seized the Sui Dynasty directly. But the problem is that Wang Can will not stay in the Sui Dynasty. It is appropriate for the Sui Dynasty to stay in the hands of Yang Guang.
It's not that Wang Can has never been an emperor. Because of his experience, Wang Can has no thoughts about the throne. Even if Yang Shicheng shouts, he can't shake Wang Can's intention.
Not long after, Yang Shicheng was dragged down, and soon a scream was heard.
Fang Xuanling left for two quarters of an hour before returning to the study.
When Fang Xuanling saw Wang Can, he said: "The Imperial Preceptor and many of the assistants in the Imperial Preceptor's Office have all been dismissed and sent away. However, there are so many vacancies in the Imperial Preceptor's Office and they need to be filled, so officials have to be transferred in.
"
Wang Can said: "You can fill in the vacant officials as you see them."
"Here!"
Fang Xuanling bowed in agreement.
Wang Can looked at Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda and said in a deep voice: "In view of what happened to Yang Shicheng, you should take a warning. I don't want similar things to happen again. Today's Sui Dynasty can only be your Majesty's.
Sui, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda answered simultaneously.
Both of them were filled with emotion.
Yang Guang trusted Wang Can, and even demoted his beloved grandson Yang You to a commoner and kept him in confinement in the palace. However, Wang Can was loyal to the emperor and actually killed Yang Shicheng directly and dismissed the people the Imperial Prefecture wanted to support.
Assistant.
It can be said that the two of them trust each other.
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "I returned to the country last year. Now that the new year has begun, and when the spring farming is over, I am ready to mobilize troops again to march westward to the Western Regions and sweep away the countries in the Western Regions."
Fang Xuanling said: "National Master, I humbly suggest that we should conquer the Western Regions. We can wait for another year or two."
Wang Can said: "Why?"
Fang Xuanling replied: "The reason why we have to postpone it for one or two years is very simple. Nowadays, the country is undergoing continuous development, and the focus is on developing local areas. Therefore, the court allocates a large amount of money to revitalize local areas. Once the current big
Waging a war on a large scale will affect local development. Therefore, this is why the official suggested waiting another one or two years to send troops. Now if we wait another one or two years to send troops, the impact on the Sui Dynasty will be very small."
After Wang Can heard this, he thought about it carefully and finally said: "Okay!"
For Wang Can, he is happy to stay for some time now because he has more time to spend with his family. When his children are older, he will leave in the future.
Fang Xuanling said: "The national teacher is wise!"
Kong Yingda said seriously: "National Master, now that the new year has begun, there is another matter, which happens to be related to the Western Regions."
Wang Can said: "What's the matter?"
Kong Yingda replied: "The countries in the Western Regions have agreed to come to the court in April or May after the spring of this year to pay tribute and present gifts to the court. According to the daily practice of the court, gifts are given to all countries. Except for
In addition, gifts of food, weapons, etc. must be returned.”
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "All envoys from various countries in the Western Regions will come to see you. Please inform me when the time comes. I will see your Majesty and ask your Majesty to participate."
After a pause, a gleam flashed across Wang Can's eyes, and he said: "In the past, officials from various countries in the Western Regions came to visit me. I personally took action and defeated the warriors of each country, so that the countries did not dare to act recklessly. Now, they are here again, this time
It’s a good thing.”
Fang Xuanling said: "The national teachers are wise, and the national power of the Great Sui Dynasty is now booming. It is expected that they entered the Great Sui Dynasty, on the one hand, to test the national power of the Great Sui Dynasty, and on the other hand, they want to get some benefits and at the same time stabilize the Great Sui Dynasty."
Kong Yingda said: "That's true. However, there are too many countries in the Western Region, Imperial Master. Each country has its own language. Even each country has different customs. These countries are geographically remote. Do we really want to attack them?"
After a pause, Kong Yingda continued: "As far as the Great Sui Dynasty is concerned, these countries are actually not that big. For the development of the Great Sui Dynasty, it is just to increase the number of territories, and the rest are not worth mentioning."
"wrong!"
Wang Can shook his head and answered.
Kong Yingda said: "Please give me instructions from the Imperial Master."
Wang Can said: "The countries in the Western Regions are indeed geographically remote, even too far away. However, this is indeed the only way for the Silk Road. After passing through these countries in the Western Regions, you can go straight to the west and enter farther places.
On the one hand, you can enter Tianzhu from the Western Regions. On the other hand, you can go further west and enter the Eastern Roman Empire. Because going further west, there are still countless vast territories. By conquering the countries in the Western Regions, you will have mastered this key point.
Tao, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Kong Yingda nodded in reply.
In Kong Yingda's concept, he had no impression of anything outside the Western Regions. He only knew about Goguryeo, Japan, etc., but he never thought that there would be other big countries further west.
In this case, it is natural to control the Western Region.
A unified Western Region, a Western Region subordinate to the Sui Dynasty, is equivalent to the gateway to the west of the Sui Dynasty.
Of course I have to take it.
Kong Yingda said solemnly: "In this case, I will know what to do."
Wang Can said: "As long as you understand."
Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda talked about other government affairs and everything. After getting Wang Can's approval on everything, they left and went to deal with government affairs again.
The new year has just begun, and there is a backlog of government affairs due to the break.
This requires approval by two people.
Therefore, the tasks for the two of them are very heavy.
Wang Can didn't care about this. Anyway, he delegated his power and left it to Fang Xuanling and Kong Yingda. It depends on how they deal with it and how they make reasonable arrangements.
In short, Wang Can just needs to wait for the results.
After the beginning of spring, Wang Can spent most of his time at home with his children and Li Xiuning. However, now that the weather is getting warmer and everything is recovering, Wang Can has also begun to take his wife and children out for outings, which also allows Wang Cheng to see the outside world.
world and understand the sufferings of the people.
In addition, Wang Can visited the palace from time to time.
After all, Yang Guang is practicing.
Yang Guang would always ask Wang Can about his cultivation matters in order to hope for an early breakthrough.
As time goes by, it enters May in a blink of an eye.
This month, officials from the Western Region Kingdom arrived in Luoyang one after another. However, the Sui Dynasty today is no longer the Sui Dynasty with the morale of Yang Guang in the past. When Yang Guang was in power in the past, he required the local people and businessmen to pay attention to the Western Regions.
People from all countries treat each other with courtesy.
Even the shops cannot accept money. They must make people from all over the Western Regions feel at home, and let the countries in the Western Regions see the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty. This is an act of slapping someone in the face.
Wang Can was unwilling.
Wang Can abolished such regulations and treated foreigners from all over the world equally and followed the same laws.
