Turbulent Times Chapter 777: The art of the emperor

Now Yang Guang is not only thinking about moving the capital, but also taking this opportunity to weaken the Guanlongmen clan as much as possible. As for destroying all the Guanlongmen clans at once, this is impossible unless he wants to make Guanzhong chaos , and even the risk of chaos in the world.

"Wang Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite, someone will give you a seat." As Wang Junlin helped Yang Guang solve difficult and important matters every time, and the completion was beautiful, now Yang Guang trusted Wang Junlin more and more.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Junlin just sat on the bench brought by the **** with half of his **** missing, and sat upright, because he knew Yang Guang's character, and he must not give the other party the impression of being favored 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 gatekeepers of Guanlong who participated in the assassination of me?"

Wang Junlin heard the words, and looked at Yang Guang's expression, he immediately understood that he and Nie Xiaoyu's analysis and judgment were not wrong-if the seven gate clans of Guanlong were really uprooted, the Dugu clan and his family alone would be able to recover. It is difficult to compete with the entire northern gentry. At that time, one will inevitably ebb and flow, and the northern gentry will gradually become stronger in the court. This is by no means what Yang Guang wants to see, not to mention that after the capital was moved to Luoyang, the Guanlongmen clan basically broke away from the center of the court. , Yang Guang will no longer be as afraid as before.

Conscientious, Wang Junlin said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, according to my opinion, if the Guanlong Clan can take the initiative to express support for His Majesty's move to the capital, this matter should not be severely punished. If the Guanlong Clan does not have self-knowledge, Your Majesty might as well kill more Some people, so that they understand that His Majesty is the Lord of the world."

"Okay! Aiqing's words are reasonable, and they coincide with what I think." Yang Guangchang laughed.

…

…

Yang Guang and Wang Junlin just had dinner together. After Wang Junlin resigned, he went back to the imperial study to review the memorials as usual. , saved a lot of memorials, and now he is determined to be an emperor through the ages comparable to the Qin Emperor and Hanwu, and he doesn't want to be lazy in political affairs, so he plans to work overtime tonight and have to review the memorials. Looking at it this way, he has done a good job as an emperor. It was quite hard work, and this may be because after his defeat in the Northern Expedition to Koryo in the original history, heroes from all walks of life conspired against him one after another, and hit him too hard at once, which caused him to give up on himself in the last few years of the Sui Dynasty, so that he often spent several months. He didn't even read the memorials, so he was deceived by powerful officials such as Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju, thus accelerating the collapse of the precarious Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang had just reviewed several memorials. At this moment, the **** reported at the door: "Your Majesty, Uncle Dugu Changsu said that he has something important to ask to see His Majesty."

"Acclaim him!"

Yang Guang vaguely guessed why Dugu Changsu came to see him so late, and this is exactly what he needs at this time. The purpose of the inside drill is to move the capital, but this kind of thing must not be stated explicitly. This requires a step between each other, or the existence of a middleman, to achieve the purpose similar to that brewed before the meeting, and then it will be passed at the meeting in a high-sounding manner.

After a while, Dugu Changsu was led into the imperial study by the eunuch, he stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said: "My minister, Dugu Changsu, sees Your Majesty."

"The uncle of the country is free of courtesy. I don't know what is the important thing to come to see me so late?" He never put on airs like an uncle, and this matter has always satisfied Yang Guang.

Especially this time, the Dugu family wisely did not participate in dealing with Wang Junlin again, so they survived the disaster. This is what Yang Guang wanted to see the most. After all, it has been less than a year since Yang Guang ascended the throne, and it has not been a few years since the death of Yang Guang's most revered Empress Dugu. Yang Guang still doesn't want to touch the Dugu clan at this time, whether it is emotionally or in other ways. Of course, the main reason is that the Dugu family has always been very law-abiding.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is a reason why the Dugu family is safe and secure, because the status of the Dugu family in the Sui Dynasty is very similar to that of Yang Jian in the previous week. This is also the reason why the Dugu family has always acted cautiously and dared not contaminate the army.

"Your Majesty, regarding tomorrow's court meeting, I have a report and I want to bring it to the court meeting for discussion. Please read it first."

After finishing speaking, Dugu Changsu handed a memorial to Yang Guang respectfully. Yang Guang took the memorial and read it again. Su, thought to himself that it was indeed the case, these Guanlongmen factions were quite knowledgeable about current affairs, and this uncle of the country really understood his own thoughts, and unexpectedly seized the opportunity at this critical moment, which was considered to be stepping on the footsteps of the other seven major Guanlongmen factions. benefit from the corpse.

"Why did Uncle Guo think of proposing to move 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 hall. I was not mentally prepared for a while and recklessly raised objections. But after repeated consideration, I very much agree with your majesty's deliberation of moving the capital to Luoyang. I think that , Moving the capital to Luoyang is the key to our great Sui Zhongxing, and it must not be obstructed by a few self-interested people. Tomorrow, I will firmly support His Majesty to move the capital to Luoyang."

"I understand Uncle Guo's loyalty, but there are many opponents! I'm afraid it's still a bit difficult for Uncle Guo alone."

The two of them knew each other well at this time, and Yang Guang was hinting at Dugu Changsu. General Yu Wenshu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Niu Hong, Yushi Dafu Pei Yun, Minister of Internal History Yu Shiji, Chief Commander of the Lanyiwei Mansion Wang Junlin and others all support His Majesty's plan, and the matter of moving the capital to Luoyang will definitely be passed at the court meeting tomorrow. .”

"Okay!" Yang Guang jumped up, "I'm looking forward to the performance of uncle Guo at the court meeting tomorrow."

"It's just that the patriarchs of the seven great clans in Guanlong participated in the assassination of His Majesty. Please be aware of it and punish him lightly." Dugu Changsu sighed inwardly. Yang Guang didn't like it, but if he didn't want to lose his influence over the noble families in Guanlong, he had to say this.

Sure enough, Yang Guang's face darkened, but then he remembered something and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own opinion, and I will not wrong anyone. I will never punish anyone who deserves heavy punishment." Let him live, he should be punished lightly, and I will not kill him, let alone implicate his family."
