Eight hundred and seventieth chapters Yang Guang came to the door
Common man Mao Haiming pays homage to Duke An of Qin." After Mao Haiming entered the box, he knelt down to Wang Junlin with his entourage.
Wang Junlin nodded, glanced at the two of them, and motioned them to stand up while saying, "Since you are Yuan Taizuo's envoys, you are obviously from Goguryeo. Could it be that you are secret agents lurking in Liaodong?"
Mao Haiming's expression did not change, but his followers' bodies tensed up instinctively. Mao Haiming smiled and said, "Young master, you are joking. I am just a businessman who traveled between the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo. He was just a businessman who was favored by Lord Yuan in Goguryeo."
Well, so I will act as his envoy to see you, my lord."
Naturally, Wang Junlin would not believe Mao Haiming's words, but he had found out the details of Mao Haiming with just one sentence, thus further confirming that as Goguryeo's national power grew stronger over the years and defeated many tribes of Silla and Khitan, it also had ambitions for Liaodong.
.
"Tell me! What did Yuan Taizuo ask you to bring?" Wang Junlin lazily ignored the identities of the two people and said straight to the point.
"My lord, these are the two land deeds that Mr. Yuan gave to my lord, which were opened by officials from the Goguryeo court. With these two land deeds, the two islands that my lord wants belong to me." Mao Haiming hurriedly got out of his arms.
Zhong carefully took out a sandalwood box and handed it to Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin took it, opened it, looked at it, and said, "Okay, I've accepted the things. You can go!"
Mao Haiming was stunned for a moment and said urgently: "Sir, when will Prince Yuan Gaisu Wenyuan be handed over to this villain to take away?"
Wang Junlin snorted coldly and said: "After I take people to the two islands to see them, I will send Yeon Gaesumun to Goguryeo."
After saying that, Wang Junlin ignored the two of them, took Shen Guang out of the box, and left. In the past few days, he was going to transfer the Lanyi Guards Mansion, Xiaoyu Theater, Wulin Guild and other places before leaving the capital.
The forces under his command were making some big arrangements, involving a lot of things. Even with Xiaoyu's help, he would have a busy day.
Mao Haiming gave a bitter smile and said nothing, but the Po Gongqi attendant beside him held the hilt of his sword, but was held tightly by Mao Chunming, and whispered: "Before coming, the Prime Minister said that it is impossible for Wang Junlin to
With these two contracts, the prince was released. These two contracts only reassured Wang Junlin and took good care of the prince."
"Then when did he let the crown prince go?" The attendant was obviously not a real attendant, and he was not polite at all to Mao Haiming.
"The Prime Minister said that Wang Junlin will go to those two islands sooner or later, and when he goes, he will release the crown prince." Mao Haiming sighed and said.

The removal of the prefectural capital and the implementation of a two-level system of counties and counties finally became a heated topic in Daxing City, and the turmoil gradually got out of hand.
In the four years since his founding, Yang Guang has achieved a lot in his battles with wealthy families. At least he has a much stronger control over the court and the world than his father, Yang Jian. Not only that, but there are also a group of people under Yang Guang who think they have control over the country.
His loyal ministers and confidants, such as Yu Shiji, Yu Wen Chengdu, Mai Tiezhang, Yu Wenshu, Zhang Jike, Su Wei, Fang Qiao, and the most feared Wang Junlin of the wealthy family, etc.!
Because of this, Yang Guang thought that he had the ability to compete with wealthy families.
However, in the end, he only "achieved a lot of results", but did not really reach the point of truly controlling the Sui Dynasty. Moreover, he has gradually lost the support of the people in the past four years.
…………
…………
The removal of the state capital and the implementation of a two-level system of counties and counties was undoubtedly a bad policy in the eyes of hundreds of officials. A group of important ministers headed by the three provinces, six ministries and nine ministers desperately appealed to Yang Guang to take back his order.
Under the banner of petitioning for the people, the courtiers said that this reform would make people's lives more and more difficult, and they also listed a bunch of arguments to prove this point. Finally, they said that there were many complaints among the people, etc., and the courtiers
It is said that this is not conducive to controlling the people, and the people may rebel and cause trouble at any time. This sentence contains an implicit threat.
In the court meetings held for several days in a row, many important ministers tried their best to oppose one after another. Those who criticized verbally and written, those who beat their chests and feet, and those who seriously reasoned, admonished Yang Guang with various attitudes. Everyone's views were surprisingly consistent, and they withdrew.
In the state capital, it is absolutely impossible to implement a two-level system of counties and counties.
Yang Guang ignored the objections of his courtiers and bucked the trend.
After being a single husband for a long time, it is inevitable that I will feel a little tired. Wherever I go, there are praises. Long live my emperor. What my emperor said is right. My emperor is wise...
Recently, Yang Guang has been too smooth. When he was riding the road of independence, most of the opposition from the three provinces, six ministries and nine ministers made Yang Guang quite angry.
As he became emperor longer and longer, Yang Guang became more and more unreasonable and self-willed. He would do whatever he wanted. No one dared to raise objections. This finally made Yang Guang's headstrong and arrogant further.
.
…
…
The court and the public in Daxing City were in a state of chaos, but the storm did not seem to affect the Lan Yiwei Mansion.
Wang Junlin got up early in the morning and went to work in the Lanyi Guard Mansion. Recently, he secretly placed some people selected by Nie Xiaoyu from the Wulin League in the Lanyi Guard Mansion. He also made other arrangements, and the specific operations involved were
It seems very troublesome. Yang Guang may have wanted to kick Wang Junlin away from his position in the Lanyi Guard Mansion. He was a bit embarrassed, so he never summoned Wang Junlin. Depending on the situation, he did not want to remove Wang Junlin in a short time.
The sword was drawn out.
A few martial arts masters who had just been sent by Xiaoyu were placed in positions with low official positions but extremely important positions. They were given a brief pre-job training. Not long after they were sent away, the wind sounded behind him, and Shen Guang was about to perform Qinggong.
Using his magic skills to the extreme, he came to his side and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is here, and he didn't let anyone come in to inform you in advance. He came for a private visit incognito."
After saying that, Shen Guang drifted away like the wind, and then Wang Junlin heard the sound of dragon-shaped and tiger-like footsteps coming from outside the door.
"I thought you would be very leisurely recently, but I didn't expect that there are a lot of things going on in the Blue Guard Mansion!"
Wang Junlin pretended to be surprised, looked up, and was shocked to find Yang Guang standing in front of him wearing a black gown and low-key and luxurious casual clothes. He looked at the place and said.
Outside the door behind Yang Guang, Wang Junlin vaguely noticed countless figures moving back and forth, and the people in the blue-clad guard house had been sent elsewhere.
Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"I... pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Okay, don't use these false gifts... I'm here for a private visit incognito."
Wang Junlin stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Yang Guang looked at the place where Wang Junlin used to work, he rudely sat down where Wang Junlin was sitting just now, and motioned to Wang Junlin to find a place to sit down, as if he was taking over the host, or in his opinion,
Everyone in the world should belong to their family.
While Wang Junlin was looking for a place to sit down, countless speculations were running through his mind. He didn't know why Yang Guang suddenly came here today. At the same time, Wang Junlin was a little lucky. Fortunately, Shen Guang's lightness skills were unparalleled in the world and he just ran in early to tell him. He put away some things on the table that should not be seen by Yang Guang. Otherwise, if Yang Guang bumped into him, he could think carefully about whether he should run to Yongzhou and then lead a group of people to the west of Yongzhou. , to replace Wu Si as the Horse Thief King of the Western Regions.
After Yang Guang sat down, he didn't speak for a long time. He suddenly sighed and said quietly: "Wang Junlin... tell me, why are they so bold and dare to go against my will like this? Do they really think that people If there are too many, will I not dare to kill anyone?"
Yang Guang said it to the end with a murderous look on his face.
Wang Junlin thought about it for a while and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty will definitely not make a mistake in withdrawing the state capital and implementing a two-level system of counties and counties. The mistake may be the timing!"
Yang Guang frowned: "Do you think I still dare not kill people from powerful families at will?"
"Your Majesty is the emperor, so he can order anyone to be killed, but it will cause a huge backlash, ranging from turmoil to the court to shaking the country." Wang Junlin paused for a moment, and then said: "But I know, When something is opposed by a wealthy and powerful family, it must be the right thing for His Majesty and the most important thing to do."
Wang Junlin gradually realized that today Yang Guang came to the Lanyi Guards Mansion just to pull out his sword and kill people, but he couldn't bear to say anything because he had already planned to release Wang Junlin.
In recent days, Yang Guang has also felt that the pressure has become a bit too great. Almost all the three provinces, six ministries and nine officials are opposed. This has never happened since he ascended the throne. Even the move of the capital more than two years ago was far less opposed by so many people. Unexpectedly, the two Years later, when he had more and more control over the court and felt better and better about himself, so many people from well-established families came out to oppose him, and some of them had even been loyal ministers in his mind.
Wang Junlin's words were so decisive that Yang Guang perked up, his eyes flashed, and he said: "Ai Qing really understands me best, I will never back down."
After Yang Guang finished speaking, he stared at Wang Junlin, meaning it was your turn to take action.
Wang Junlin sighed in his heart, but said confidently: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing to withdraw the state capital and implement a two-level system of counties and counties, but it is not necessary to implement this system completely at once. It can be done step by step, and at the same time, you can think about it A way to divide the power of the powerful families to join forces..."
When Yang Guang heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Wang Qing, please tell me how to do it step by step? How to divide the powerful families from joining forces?"
"Your Majesty wants to implement a two-level system of counties and counties, formally restoring the structure of the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty. However, as far as I know, the actual number of counties in the world has far exceeded the 36 or 48 counties in the Qin Dynasty, reaching 190 In fact, it is difficult for the imperial court to effectively govern nearly two hundred counties at the same time, so I thought that I could follow Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and set up supervisory states to supervise the duties of each county. In Jizhou, Yanzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou, In large states with more than hundreds of thousands of households, such as Liangzhou and Yongzhou, there are supervisory states with governors, auxiliary officials such as Changshi, Sima, etc. These official positions will only be higher than the previous state capitals, but their actual power is worse than the original state capitals. Some, and the number is less than one-fifth of the original state capital. With these official positions, the wealthy families will put a lot of thought into competing for these official positions. Naturally, a lot of pressure on Your Majesty will be relieved, and then I will help Your Majesty choose. If a few people are killed to serve as a warning to hundreds, the two-level system of prefectures and counties will naturally pass."
Wang Junlin looked for the answers to the homework that Nie Xiaoyu had prepared in advance and said them out in one breath.
"I understand what you mean. Aiqing is indeed my sword..." After hearing this, Yang Guang thought carefully for a while, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he said happily.
