Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters people are like ants
Of course, Yang Guang wanted to uproot the Guanlong nobles, but it was not as cold as a day. The Guanlong nobles were deeply rooted in the court, and had been like this since the Western Wei and Northern Zhou Dynasties.
It is difficult to steal the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, Yang Guang did not dare to push too hard. Besides, in Yang Guang's view, before the imperial examination failed to select the most talented people in the world for his use, he was still indispensable for the nobles who could manage the government affairs for him and govern the world.
Thinking of these people, Yang Guang sighed in his heart and wanted to find a way to ease the relationship with the Guanlong nobles.
"Prince Qin'an, the commander-in-chief of the Blue-clothed Guards Mansion, has come to see you." The waiter's shout came from outside the door, interrupting Yang Guang's thoughts.
"King Xuan comes to the palace." Although Yang Guang is still headstrong, the more than half a year as emperor has made him understand that governing the Sui Dynasty and creating a prosperous age is not something he can do alone, and even all his ideas need to be implemented by his ministers, so
He likes and favors ministers who can implement his ideas well and quickly. It seems that Wang Junlin is such a minister at the moment.
"The king comes to pay homage to your majesty, long live your majesty." Wang Junlin seemed to be respectful and awe-inspiring to Yang Guang as always, and this made Yang Guang feel quite satisfied with Wang Junlin. After all, Wang Junlin had a notorious reputation.
Extremely, every deed is extremely astonishing, but such a figure is a courtier who treats him with respect and awe. This kind of psychological and spiritual satisfaction is what a man like Yang Guang who loves great achievements enjoys the most.
"I love your life!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Wang Junlin straightened up, Yang Guang couldn't wait to ask Yu Wenkai to introduce the new capital of Luoyang to Wang Junlin again, and then said to Wang Junlin: "What do you think of this, Aiqing?"
"Your Majesty, during the Yongjia Rebellion, the Huns marched straight in, defeated Luoyang City, and kicked off the Wuhu rebellion in China. In addition, Shandong and Hebei are the hometowns of the Northern Qi Dynasty. There are many Zahus, and it is easy for them to rebel. He must also consider defending against the Zahus of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Therefore, although I know that with your Majesty's wisdom, such a thing will never happen, but the capital is the heart of a country. Thousands of years after your Majesty's death in the Sui Dynasty, such things have to be guarded against. Therefore, I thought that the location of the new capital in Luoyang would be
We also need to consider defense matters." Although Wang Junlin didn't know that Yang Guang didn't like the admonishment of Changsun Sheng and Pei Shiju just now, he did understand Yang Guang's character. Even if he meant the same thing, he would definitely speak in roundabout ways and not speak directly.
In order not to hurt Yang Guang's glass-like self-esteem and make him unhappy.
"What Aiqing said is absolutely true." Sure enough, Wang Junlin's meaning was very similar to that of Changsun Sheng and Pei Shiju. However, Yang Guang was not only unhappy after hearing this, but nodded with satisfaction, and then he was not polite, or at all unnecessary.
He said with a face: "I also have this worry, Yu Wenkai, regarding the defense of the new capital, do you have any considerations in terms of defense in the place you chose?"
Yu Wenkai was well aware of Sheng's worries, and he was actually prepared. At this time, he smiled and said: "I also have suggestions about defense."
Yang Guang perked up and said hurriedly: "What do you suggest?"
Yu Wenkai pointed at a circle around the map of Luoyang with a wooden pole, covering hundreds of miles, and said solemnly: "Although Luoyang is surrounded by plains, we can build artificial defenses. I am considering digging long moats to defend against cavalry.
From Longmen to the east, it connects to Changping and Jijun, arrives at Qingguan, crosses the river south to Junyi and Xiangcheng, and reaches Shangluo. It is about a thousand miles long and can be used as a defense."
When Wang Junlin heard this, he felt a thump in his heart. He thought that according to Yu Wenkai's words, building the new capital of Luoyang would probably require recruiting hundreds of thousands more civilians. However, with Yang Guang's impatience, it would definitely not extend the time. In this way, this would
When hundreds of thousands of people were built in the new capital, there were still many who could survive. And these hundreds of thousands of civilians were all young and strong men. Each of them was nothing to the Sui Dynasty, but to the emperor
From the perspective of a group of nobles, their lives are not much different from those of ants, but they are the backbone of their families. Without them, it may mean that tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of small families will be ruined, or even their families will be destroyed.
Obviously Yang Guang didn't have the slightest concern about Wang Junlin, or he never cared about the lives of ordinary people. He looked at the map and walked around the long moat, and sure enough, the capital was surrounded. In fact, Yang Guang
What he was considering was to defend against the cavalry. Digging a long moat was a good idea. He nodded lightly.
Su Wei, who had been watching Yang Guang's every move and expression, said first, "I think Yu Wenkai's method is feasible."
Yu Shiji, who was a step late, secretly cursed Su Wei, the old fox, and then said: "I second my suggestion. I think it is feasible to dig long trenches to defend against cavalry."
Yu Wenshu, who had been silent all this time, originally wanted to express his strong support for the method of digging long trenches to defend against cavalry, but with his current status as the hidden leader of hundreds of officials, it would be fine if he said it before others, but at this time, it would be better to express his position after others.
I couldn't hold my face anymore, so I hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
With the two people taking the lead, more than a dozen people immediately stood up to express their support for this method. However, those officials from the Guanlong clan remained silent. However, a dozen people waved flags and shouted. It was enough. Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction.
, finally made a decision and said: "Yes, this method is feasible."
…
…
After arranging on the spot to recruit more civilians and allocate money and food, Yang Guang asked the ministers to retreat, leaving Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji, and Wang Junlin, who were the most trusted ministers.
Many civil and military officials in the DPRK are becoming more and more slack-jawed, may my three beloved ministers have a way to resolve this matter?"
Yu Wenshu, who had not seized the opportunity to speak just now, immediately said: "Your Majesty, these people are eating the emperor's salary and not taking care of your Majesty's worries. Let the blue-clothed guards put them in jail and punish them for the crime of bullying the emperor."
"Immortal..." Wang Junlin glanced at Yu Wenshu but said nothing.
Yang Guang frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously not satisfied with what Yu Wenshu said.
Yu Shiji was the best at observing words and emotions, and immediately understood that Yang Guang did not want to push the Guanlong clan too much in a short period of time, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, these slack ministers are all officials from the Guanlong clan. Just as General Yuwen said, they will eat the emperor's salary.
It would be damned if I didn't share your majesty's worries, but it's been more than a month since your majesty asked the Blue Guards to severely damage the Guanlong clan. It's not appropriate to force him too much at this time. I have a plan to solve this matter for your majesty."
Yang Guang suddenly became interested and said, "If Yu Aiqing has any good ideas, tell me quickly."
Yu Shiji said: "I heard that the Queen's birthday is coming, why don't Your Majesty use the Queen's birthday to invite hundreds of officials to win over the feelings of all the ministers."
When Yang Guang heard this, his eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "Yes, I will make the Queen's birthday grand and lively this time. Not only will we invite officials of the fifth rank and above, but also their families, wives and daughters.
