Turbulent Times Chapter 768: The Conspiracy of the Nobles of Guanlong (Part 1)

At the moment, Xu Jingzong and Liu Ziming led people to salute Wang Junlin respectfully, and then led everyone away. According to Wang Junlin's request, they selected some capable confidantes from their previous affiliations in the Northwest to bring them here, and then brought them here. In addition to the original internal and external officials, large and small, don't worry that they have no one to choose from. Satisfied, the two began to allocate and adjust the personnel below. Shen Guang, the leader of the intelligence department, stayed behind to have a secret talk with Wang Junlin.

"Master Liu, Mr. Shen Guangshen from the Intelligence Department has already been appointed. Now the rest is our Supervision Department and your Internal Affairs Department. You should choose people first! According to the Lord's intention, there are seven officials, big and small, from your Internal Affairs Department. 100 small law enforcement officials, you choose the remaining 300 people, they will be the people of our Supervision Department in the capital." Xu Jingzong first bowed his hands politely to Liu Ziming.

Liu Ziming has always been at odds with Xu Jingzong, and has always been displeased with Xu Jingzong's behavior. If he would have given him a good face two years ago, but now he smiled back and waited for the official next to him A former Marquis commander quickly took out a list and handed it to Liu Ziming. Liu Ziming took a look and nodded.

When the two came from the northwest three days ago, Wang Junlin had already told them about Lan Yiwei, so the two had already made preparations.

…

…

Not long after Shen Guang left, Xu Jingzong walked in.

After Xu Jingzong saw the ceremony, Wang Junlin didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "The Supervision Department has just been established, and you need to discuss with Shen Guang and Liu Ziming, and half of the original internal and external Marquis officials in the territory of the Sui Dynasty will be recruited." It will be assigned to your supervisory department. Within two years, your supervisory department will have its own secret sub or stronghold in all counties, prefectures, and prefectures. And within three years at the latest, your supervisory department will give the imperial court five-rank There are dark men lurking in the mansions of the senior officials and various powerful families. Hmm... the Guanlong nobles who oppose His Majesty’s move to the capital and some officials who infiltrate dark men must hurry up, the sooner the better.”

Xu Jingzong did not expect Wang Junlin to have such great ambitions, and while feeling awe-inspiring, he was also somewhat inexplicably excited.

………

At night, the inner hall of the Yuan Clan's mansion, one of the leaders of the Guanlong nobles, was brightly lit. A dozen important ministers who opposed the move of the capital at the court meeting today gathered together. Former Right Guard General Yuan Zhou, General He Ruobi, and so on, Dugu Changsu also sent his eldest son Dugu Wudu to attend, all important figures among the Guanlong nobles.

It is reasonable to say that this matter should be led by Dugu, but today after Wang Junlin held a meeting in the Blue Yiwei Mansion, he quietly visited Dugu Changsu. Just because it was inconvenient for the emperor's relatives and uncles to take the lead, he gave up the position of leader to the Yuan family, and Yuan Shou took the lead in organizing the series gathering tonight.

So, the people who came up tonight were invited by Yuanshou people. At this time, everyone sat down and put the tea and fruit plate on the low table. Looking from the outside, anyone who dares to get close to twenty meters away will be killed, and the guards are also on guard from twenty meters away.

At this time, Yuanshou's eyes swept over everyone, and finally fixed on Dugu Wudu, frowning slightly, slightly dissatisfied that Dugu Changsu did not come, but also a little happy, after all, if Dugu Changsu Come on, the latter is the leader of the Guanlongmen Clan, and he can only be ranked second.

"Everyone, as far as I know, His Majesty has already recruited Yu Wenkai into the palace, and has initially decided to make Yu Wenkai the deputy supervisor of Dongduying, and prepares to dig the long moat in Luoyang. It seems that His Majesty has not given up on the idea of ​​moving the capital. , we must stop it as soon as possible.”

"Well! I won't talk about the unnecessary nonsense, the old man moved the capital to Luoyang, nominally to control the south, Shandong, and the east of the river, but in fact he is dealing with us Guanlong nobles. Once your majesty really moves the capital to Luoyang, The center of the imperial court will inevitably leave Guanzhong, and our Guanlong Group will definitely be gradually marginalized. At that time, our position in the imperial court and the Sui Dynasty will inevitably be replaced by the emerging nobles of the imperial court and the Shandong gentry. Ladies and gentlemen, I think the seriousness of this matter Needless to say, the situation is very serious anyway!"

"If the matter of abolishing the prince can be successful, why should we worry about today?"

The one who spoke was He Ruobi, the general who supported the abolished prince Yang Yong at that time. It was only because he saw the opportunity was wrong at the time that he turned his back so quickly that he was not killed by Yang Guang. Of course, he paid a big price.

"Brother He Ruobi, be careful!" Many people in the room changed their expressions slightly after hearing He Ruobi's words, and Yuan Shou even spoke lightly.

He Ruobi knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he immediately drank a glass of wine and shut up. He also somewhat regretted what he said just now, after all, if it spread to the emperor's ears, it might lead to death.

It stands to reason that He Ruobi shouldn't be like Meng Lang. The main reason is that since Yang Guang came to the throne, he has been dismissed from all his official positions. Now he only has the title of a general without real power. His heart is full of resentment and Dissatisfaction has been accumulated for many days, so I made a slip of the tongue.

Yuan Shou swept everyone vigilantly, and finally paused for a moment on Dugu Wudu's face. He wanted to emphasize that He Ruobi's words just now are not allowed to be spoken by anyone, but when he thought about what he said, , so it was of the same nature as what He Ruobi said just now, so he could only secretly scold He Ruobi for being stupid, and said solemnly: "Everyone, don't say anything that has nothing to do with today's affairs."

Yuan Shou's tone was a little displeased. Obviously, He Ruobi said something that should not be said. Except for the Dugu family, the entire Guanlong nobles have always opposed Yang Guang and supported Yang Yong as emperor. The means are relatively clever, except for He Ruobi, who wanted to be the second Yang Su, to support Yang Yong in the open, the other Guanlong nobles supported Yang Yong secretly. The forces did not dare to act rashly in the end, otherwise they would not know what the final result would be. After all, it was not wrong that Guanzhong belonged to the emperor, but it was not wrong to say that it belonged to the nobles of Guanlong. It can be seen that the Guanlong nobles control Guanzhong, which is why Yang Guang was eager to move his capital to Luoyang before doing various major things and realizing his great revenge.

He Ruobi also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue and annoyed the others, so he lowered his head and drank the wine. Yuan Shou gave him a stern look as a warning, and then turned his head and said to Zuo Xiaowei General Zhang Jin: "Xiang Zhang, What do you think we should do to make His Majesty give up the idea of ​​moving the capital?"

Zhang Jin has been silent all the time, he is actually thinking, since he is here to discuss matters, everyone will not just listen to the guests, it is related to the most vital interests of every powerful family, how can Zhang Jin not have a confidant with his family The staff discussed it.
