Chapter seven hundred and seventy seventh emperor's art
Now Yang Guang is not only thinking about moving the capital, but taking this opportunity to weaken the Guanlong clan as much as possible. As for destroying all the Guanlong clan at once, this is impossible, unless he wants to cause chaos in Guanzhong and even the world.
Risk of chaos.
"Wang Aiqing, you don't have to be polite, I'll give you a seat if you come." Every time Wang Junlin helped Yang Guang solve difficult problems, and he did them beautifully, Yang Guang now trusted Wang Junlin more and more.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Junlin just sat on the show stool brought by the eunuch with half his buttocks missing, his body sitting upright, because he knew Yang Guang's character and must not give the other party the impression of being pampered and arrogant.
Sure enough, Yang Guang was very satisfied with Wang Junlin's performance, nodded and said: "Wang Aiqing, in your opinion, how should I deal with He Ruobi and the seven great clansmen of Guanlong who participated in the assassination of me?"
Wang Junlin heard this and looked at Yang Guang's expression. He immediately understood that his and Nie Xiaoyu's analysis and judgment were correct - if the seven Guanlong clans were really uprooted, it would be difficult for the Dugu clan alone to compete with the entire family.
The northern gentry will compete with each other, and the northern gentry will gradually become more powerful in the court. This is definitely not what Yang Guang wants to see. What's more, after the capital was moved to Luoyang, the Guanlong clan was basically separated from the center of the imperial court. Yang Guang
I will no longer be as fearful as before.
With confidence in his heart, Wang Junlin said: "Reporting to your Majesty, in my opinion, if the Guanlong clan can take the initiative to express support for Your Majesty's move to the capital, this matter cannot be severely punished. If the Guanlong clan does not know themselves, Your Majesty might as well kill more people.
So that they can understand that Your Majesty is the master of the world."
"Okay! What I said makes sense, and it coincides with what I think." Yang Guang said with a smile.
…
…
Yang Guang and Wang Junlin had just finished dinner together. After Wang Junlin resigned, he returned to the Imperial Study Room to review the memorials as usual. He had a lot of government affairs to deal with every day, and today because he followed Wang Junlin out for most of the day, he saved up a lot of money.
There are a lot of memorials, and now he only wants to be an emperor through the ages comparable to the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty. He doesn't want to be lazy in political affairs, so he plans to work overtime tonight and finish reviewing the memorials. From this look, he, the emperor, has done a lot of hard work.
, this may also be because after he was defeated in the Northern Expedition to Goryeo in history, heroes from all walks of life rebelled one after another, which hit him too hard at once. As a result, he gave up on himself in the last few years of the Sui Dynasty, and often did not watch it for several months.
Therefore, he was deceived by Yu Shiji, Pei Shiju and other powerful ministers, thus accelerating the collapse of the crumbling Sui Dynasty.
Yang Guang had just reviewed a few memorials. At this moment, the eunuch reported at the door: "Your Majesty, my uncle Dugu Changsu said that he has something important to ask to see your Majesty."
"Announce his presence!"
Yang Guang vaguely guessed why Dugu Changsu came to see him so late, and this was exactly what he needed at this time. As the emperor, even the civil and military officials in the dynasty knew that he asked Wang Junlin to set a trap for the Guanlong clan to infiltrate.
In order to move the capital, but this kind of thing must not be stated explicitly, it requires a step between each other, or the existence of a middleman, to achieve a similar purpose of brewing before the meeting, and then it can be passed in a high-sounding manner at the court meeting.
After a while, Dugu Changsu was led into the imperial study by the eunuch. He stepped forward and bowed deeply, saying: "I, Dugu Changsu, see your Majesty."
"My uncle, without courtesy, come to see me so late. What's the important thing?" All along, the Dugu family has never been domineering or controlled the affairs of the government because of Queen Dugu, and Dugu Changsu has never acted in front of Yang Guang.
Why put on airs as an uncle? This matter has always made Yang Guang very satisfied.
Especially this time, the Dugu family once again wisely did not participate in dealing with Wang Junlin and thus survived. This is also the scene that Yang Guang wants to see the most. After all, Yang Guang has been on the throne for less than a year, and Yang Guang's most recent
It had only been a few years since the revered Queen Dugu passed away. Yang Guang did not want to touch the Dugu clan at this time, either emotionally or in other aspects. Of course, the main reason was because the Dugu clan had always been peaceful.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is a reason why the Dugu clan is peaceful, because the current status of the Dugu family in the Sui Dynasty is very similar to Yang Jian's status in the previous Zhou Dynasty. If they go over the top in the slightest, it will remind people of Yang Jian's rebellion and usurpation of the country.
This is also the reason why the Dugu clan has always been cautious and did not dare to contaminate the military.
"Your Majesty, regarding tomorrow's court meeting, I have a report that I would like to bring to the court for discussion. Please take a look at it first."
After saying that, Dugu Changsu respectfully handed a memorial to Yang Guang. Yang Guang took the memorial and read it over. He was slightly startled. It turned out to be a memorial proposing to move the capital to Luoyang. He glanced at Dugu Changsu and thought
Sure enough, these Guanlongmen are quite aware of current affairs, and my uncle-in-law does understand his own thoughts very well. He actually seized the opportunity at this critical moment, and gained something by stepping on the corpses of the other seven Longmen.
profit.
"Why did my uncle come up with the idea of moving the capital to the east?"
Dugu Changsu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, last time your Majesty proposed to move the capital to Luoyang in the court, I was not mentally prepared for the moment and rashly raised objections. However, I thought about it again and again, and I very much agree with your majesty's careful consideration of moving the capital to Luoyang. I thought that moving the capital to Luoyang would be a good idea."
It is the key to our great resurgence of the Sui Dynasty and must not be blocked by a few self-interested people. Tomorrow I will firmly support His Majesty in moving the capital to Luoyang."
"I understand Uncle Guo's loyalty, but there are so many opponents! I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for Uncle Guo alone."
The two of them knew it well at this time, and Yang Guang was also hinting to Dugu Changsu. The latter understood in his heart, so he immediately smiled and said: "I can convince all the officials from Guanlong and Jingcheng, plus General Yuwen.
It is said that Niu Hong, the official secretary, Pei Yun, the imperial censor, Yu Shiji, the minister of internal history, Wang Junlin, the commander-in-chief of the blue-robed guard, and others all support your majesty's plan. The matter of moving the capital to Luoyang will definitely be passed at the court meeting tomorrow."
"Okay!" Yang Guang said, "I'm looking forward to my uncle's performance at the court meeting tomorrow."
"It's just that the heads of the seven great families of Guanlong participated in the assassination of His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will be aware of it and deal with it lightly." Dugu Changsu sighed in his heart. As the leader of the Guanlong nobles, this matter would offend Yang.
Guang was not happy, but if he did not want to lose his influence over the noble families in Guanlong, he had to speak up.
Sure enough, Yang Guang's face darkened, but then he remembered something and said: "Uncle, you don't have to worry about this matter. I have my own opinions and will not wrong anyone. I will never let anyone who deserves a heavy punishment be punished."
If he is alive and deserves a light punishment, I will not kill him, let alone implicate his family."
