Turbulent Times Chapter 873: Yang Guang visits the door
"Grassman Mao Haiming pays his respects to Qin Angong." After Mao Haiming entered the box, he directly knelt down to Wang Junlin with his entourage.
Wang Junlin nodded, glanced at the two of them, motioned them to get up, and said, "Since you are the envoys of Yuan Taizuo, you are obviously from Goguryeo. Could it be that you are spies hiding in Liaodong."
Mao Haiming's face remained unchanged, but his entourage's body tensed instinctively. Mao Haiming said with a smile: "My lord is joking. The villain is just a businessman who travels between the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo. My lord's great kindness, so I acted as an envoy for him to see you, Lord."
Wang Junlin naturally wouldn't believe Mao Haiming's words, but he tested Mao Haiming's details just now, and further confirmed that after Goguryeo's national strength has become stronger and defeated many tribes in Silla and Khitan successively over the years, it has become more important to Liaodong. Ambitious too.
"Tell me! What did Yuan Taizuo ask you to bring?" Wang Junlin ignored the identities of these two people and said straight to the point.
"Grandpa, these are the two land deeds issued by Master Yuan to the royal court of Goguryeo. With these two land deeds, the two islands that the father-in-law wants belong to the father-in-law." Mao Haiming Quickly and cautiously took out a sandalwood box from his arms, and handed it to Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin took it over, opened it, looked at it, and said, "Okay, I've accepted the things, you guys go!"
Mao Haiming was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "My lord, when will Yuan Gai, son of Su Wenyuan, be handed over to the villain?"
Wang Junlin snorted coldly, and said: "After I take people to the two islands to have a look, I will send Yuangai Suwen to Goguryeo."
After finishing speaking, Wang Junlin ignored the two of them, took Shen Guang out of the box, and left. The guild and some subordinate forces are making some big arrangements, which involve a lot of things. Even with Xiaoyu's help, he will be too busy all day.
Mao Haiming gave a wry smile and didn't say anything, but the entourage of Po Gongqi beside him was holding the sword hilt, but Mao Chunming held him firmly, and said in a low voice: "Before you came, the Prime Minister said, It is impossible for Junlin to let the prince go by relying on these two contracts, these two contracts are just to let Wang Junlin rest assured and take good care of the prince."
"Then when did he let the prince go." The attendant was obviously not a real attendant, and he was not polite to Mao Haiming at all.
"The prime minister said that Wang Junlin will go to those two islands sooner or later, and when he goes, he will let the prince go." Mao Haiming said with a sigh.

Withdrawing the state capital and implementing a two-level system for counties and counties finally became a hot topic in Daxing City, and the trouble gradually got out of hand.
In the four years of the great cause, Yang Guang has made a lot of achievements in the struggle with the powerful families. At least he has a much stronger control over the court and the world than his old man Yang Jian. Not only that, but Yang Guang gradually has a group of The courtiers who thought they were loyal to him, such as Yu Shiji, Yuwen Chengdu, Mai Tiezhang, Yu Wenshu, Zhang Jike, Su Wei, Fang Qiao, and the most feared Wang Junlin of the powerful family, and so on!
Because of this, Yang Guang thought he was capable of overthrowing the table with powerful families.
However, after all, he only "achieved a lot of results", but did not really reach the point of truly controlling the Sui Dynasty, and in the past four years, he has gradually lost popular support.

………
Removing the state capital and implementing the two-level system of prefectures and counties is undoubtedly an evil policy in the eyes of hundreds of officials. A group of important officials headed by three provinces, six ministries and nine ministers desperately appealed to Yang Guang to take back his order.
The courtiers, under the banner of pleading for the people, said that this reform will make people's life more and more difficult, and they also listed a lot of arguments to prove this point, and finally said that the people's complaints are boiling, etc. Some courtiers said that doing so was not conducive to controlling the people, and that the people might rebel and make trouble at any time. This sentence implied a threat.
At the court meeting for several days in succession, many important ministers desperately opposed one wave after another, criticizing those who condemned them, those who beat their chests and feet, and those who were serious about reasoning, admonishing Yang Guang with various attitudes. Unanimously, it is absolutely impossible to withdraw the state capital and implement the two-level system of counties and counties.
Yang Guang ignored the objections of his courtiers and went against the trend.
Being alone for a long time, it is inevitable that you will get a little bored. Everywhere you go, there will be 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 dust on the road of being an independent husband, most of the nine ministers from the three provinces, six ministries and nine ministers opposed him, which made Yang Guang very angry.
As the emperor's time became longer and longer, Yang Guang became more and more unreasonable and self-willed. He did whatever he wanted, and no one dared to raise objections. The arrogance flared up further.
…
…
In Daxing City, there was a lot of trouble in the court hall and in the workshop, and the wind and rain didn't seem to affect the Lanyiwei Mansion.
Wang Junlin woke up early in the morning and went to work in the Lanyiwei Mansion. Recently, he secretly placed some people from the Wulin League who were selected by Nie Xiaoyu in the Lanyiwei Mansion. He also made other arrangements. The specific operation of the matter is very troublesome. Yang Guang may be thinking of kicking Wang Junlin from his position in the Blue Yiwei Mansion, and he is a bit embarrassed, so he has not summoned Wang Junlin. It depends on the situation. Wang Junlin drew out the sword.
A few martial arts masters sent by Xiaoyu just now were placed in low-ranking but extremely critical positions, and they were given a brief pre-job training. Not long after they were sent away, there was a wind behind them, Shen Guang Exercising lightness kung fu to the extreme, he came to him and said hastily: "Your Majesty, don't let anyone come in to report in advance. It's a private visit from Weifu."
After speaking, Shen Guang drifted away like the wind, and then Wang Junlin heard footsteps like dragons and tigers walking outside the door.
"I thought you would be very leisurely recently, but I didn't expect that the Lanyiwei mansion also has a lot of affairs!"
Wang Junlin pretended to be surprised, looked up, and was surprised to find that Yang Guang was wearing a black gown and low-key luxurious casual clothes standing in front of him, looking at this place, and said.
Outside the door behind Yang Guang, Wang Junlin vaguely noticed countless figures swaying back and forth, and the people in the Lanyiwei Mansion were sent away to other places.
Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got up to salute.
"Your Majesty..."
"Okay, don't use these vain gifts... I came here for a private visit from Weifu."
Wang Junlin stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Yang Guang looked at the place where Wang Junlin used to work, he sat down in the place where Wang Junlin was sitting just now, and motioned to Wang Junlin to find a place to sit down. In the concept, everything in the world should belong to their family.
As Wang Junlin was looking for a place to sit down, countless guesses flashed through his mind. He didn't know why Yang Guang came here suddenly today. After a while, he put away some things on the table that Yang Guang shouldn't see, otherwise if Yang Guang bumped into him, he could think about whether he wanted to run to Yongzhou and take a group of people with him. Go 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 while, then sighed suddenly, and said quietly: "Wang Junlin...you tell me, why are they so bold, and dare to go against my will like this? Do you think that if there are too many people, I will not dare to kill people?"
At the end of Yang Guang's speech, he looked murderous.
Wang Junlin considered it for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Withdrawing the state capital and implementing the two-level system of counties and counties, His Majesty will never make a mistake. The mistake may be the timing!"
Yang Guang frowned: "Do you think I dare not kill people from powerful families at will?"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so he can issue a decree to kill anyone, but it will cause a lot of backlash, ranging from turmoil to the court, to shaking the foundation of the country." Wang Junlin paused, and then said: "But I know that when a matter is opposed desperately by a powerful family, this matter must be extremely correct for His Majesty, and it is also the most should be done."
Wang Junlin gradually realized that Yang Guang came to the Lanyiwei Mansion today to draw out his sword and kill people, but he couldn't bear to speak up, after all, he planned to release Wang Junlin.
In the past few days, Yang Guang has also felt a little bit of pressure. Almost all the three provinces, six ministries and nine ministers opposed it. Unexpectedly, two years later, when he had more and more control over the court and felt better about himself, so many people from aristocratic families came out to oppose him, and some of them were even loyal ministers in his heart.
Wang Junlin's categorical words lifted Yang Guang's spirit, his eyes sparkled, and he said: "As expected, Aiqing understands me best, and I will never back down."
After Yang Guang finished speaking, he stared at Wang Junlin, which meant that it was time for you to act.
Wang Junlin sighed in his heart, but said confidently: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing to withdraw the state capital and implement the two-level system of counties and counties, but it does not have to be implemented completely at once. It can be done step by step. At the same time, we can find a way to divide the joint efforts of the powerful families..."
Yang Guang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said, "Wang Qing, tell me how to do it step by step? And how to divide the trend of joining forces between powerful families?"
"Your Majesty wants to implement a two-level system of prefectures and counties, and formally restore the structure of the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, but as far as I know, the actual number of counties in the world has far exceeded the 36 or 48 counties in Qin Dynasty. It has reached 190 counties. In fact, it is difficult for the imperial court to effectively govern nearly 200 counties at the same time. Therefore, the minister thought that he could follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and set up supervisory prefectures to supervise the positions of the counties. In Jizhou, Yanzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou In large prefectures with more than hundreds of thousands of households, such as Jingzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou, there are supervisory prefectures and governors, and assistant officials include Changshi and Sima. The government is worse, and the number is less than one-fifth of the original state capital. With these official positions, the powerful families will put a lot of attention on competing for these official positions, and the pressure on His Majesty will naturally be relieved. Help His Majesty choose a few people to kill as an example, and the two-level system of counties and counties will naturally pass."
Wang Junlin will look for the homework answers Nie Xiaoyu has prepared in advance, and speak them out in one breath.
"I understand what you mean. Aiqing is indeed my sword..." Yang Guang heard this, thought for a while, his eyes became brighter, and finally said happily.
