Chapter 569: Yang Ji encounters a rogue

Yang Ji left Wenchengmen and Zetianmen and walked south along Zetianmen Street. As he walked, he thought about who the "trustworthy confidants" among the Guanlong nobles that Yang Guang said were.

The Guanlong aristocracy originally had many families and had strong appeal. Later, driven by interests, many small families took the initiative to include themselves among them and considered themselves to be members of the Guanlong aristocracy.

This is not to say that they have to get something from the Guanlong noble group; it is that the Guanlong nobles control the power of the world. If you are not strong and do not belong to the Guanlong noble circle, you will suffer in the officialdom and in the shopping malls.

Being excluded makes it difficult to move forward. So if you include yourself in it, you will get unimaginable convenience.

Because of this, the community of interests "Guanlong Nobles" was like a snowball rolling in the snow, getting bigger and bigger. Over time, it formed the terrifying Guanlong Nobles Group that even the Shandong nobles needed to fawn over. However, the influx of a large number of sects

The entry of the Guanlong aristocratic group also made the Guanlong aristocratic group become mixed, with different people's hearts and many internal contradictions.

As the emperor, it is too easy for Yang Guang to bribe two or three unsuccessful families. However, Yang Guang's "trustworthy confidants" can bring out the core secrets, which shows that the other party is definitely a core figure in the Guanlong nobles.

Rather than "a motley crew".

For a moment, Yang Ji had no clue about this person; fortunately, the matter had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't figure out who it was, so he didn't bother to pay attention.

Entering the Imperial City, both sides of Tianmen Street are lined with important government offices in the center. Huge buildings are majestic. Along the road are various military offices and military camps that occupy a large area.

At dusk, it was already "off duty" time; countless officials in different colors came out from various official offices, all gathered on Zetianmen Street, and hurriedly headed to Duanmen in the south. The huge flow of people was very large.

Spectacular.

Among the spectacular crowds, there were also sealed carriages rushing against the trend. These carriages were black in color and were specially used by the imperial court to transport documents. Each carriage had a flag in a conspicuous position.

The color of the flag indicates whether the official document in the car is urgent and important. But no matter what color the flag on the car is, officials must move out of the way to avoid delaying the delivery of the official document to the official office.

Yang Ji is a privileged prince, and his car and bodyguards can actually drive directly to Zetianmen; but if there is nothing important, Yang Ji will abide by the rules of the court and let his entourage wait at Shuncheng Square inside Duanmen.

.

"Your Majesty! King Wei!" When he came to the street between Yushitai and Honglu Temple, someone suddenly shouted to him from behind.

Yang Ji looked back and saw two people walking out of the west gate of the Honglu Temple compound and walking quickly towards his seat. One was Sun Sheng, his in-laws, and the other was Li Yuan, Duke of Tang Dynasty.

The moment he saw Li Yuan, an idea flashed in Yang Ji's mind, and he guessed that Yang Guang's "trustworthy confidant" was Li Yuan, a young eunuch in the palace.

Li Yuan is the head of the Li Hu family of the "Eight Pillar Kingdoms", the nephew of the Dugu family, the son-in-law of the Dou family, and the in-law of the Wang family of Taiyuan. He can be said to be the core of the Guanlong nobles. In addition, he dreams of restoring the family's past glory, so

Not only did he meet Yang Guang's internal intelligence requirements, but he could also easily obtain the information Yang Guang needed.

Judging from the arrangement in which Yang Guang, before fleeing to Jiangdu in history, ordered Li Yuan to stay in Taiyuan and supervise the military and political affairs of the state, the reason why Li Yuan is Yang Guang's "credible supporter" is even more abundant.

In the blink of an eye, the two men were approaching. Yang Ji quickly raised his hands and greeted: "Envoy of the Western Regions, Mr. Tang!"

After saying hello, he smiled and asked Chang Sun Sheng: "Envoy from the Western Regions, when will you go to Liangzhou?"

"Isn't this the time when we are making arrangements with Shi Honglu? Are we looking for someone? As soon as the manpower arrives, I will go to Liangzhou." Changsun Sheng said with a smile. He is now the envoy to the Western Regions and is in charge of the affairs of the Western Regions, and the Turkic envoy has been transferred to Young

The strong Honglu Qing Shi Xiang and Changsun Sheng were very happy with Yang Guang's decision.

Changsun Sheng spent almost all his life on the Turks. Decades of traveling back and forth, as well as countless small and large battles, not only exhausted him, but also left him covered in injuries. His age, energy and physical strength made him incapable of serving as a Turk commander.

This is an important position. However, he witnessed Qimin Khan build a huge empire from scratch, and he knew that Qimin Khan was a resourceful, flexible and flexible hero. Not only could the ministers of the Great Sui Dynasty not be able to control him, but they would probably have to be controlled by him.

He was playing tricks all over the place. So he worried that his successor would be incompetent and ruin his life's work.

Fortunately, the saint has chosen the right person. Shi Xiang, the new Turkic envoy, is a man who is both civil and military, resourceful, brave and good at fighting. He has experienced hundreds of battles and is domineering and handsome. He is more suitable to be the Turkic envoy than any other civil servant. Shi Xiang, who has a military background

When communicating with the mighty Turks, the interests of the Sui Dynasty must always come first and the national dignity will never be lost.

This also allowed Changsun Sheng to rest assured that he could hand over his old job with heavy tasks and take up a new job with ease. Today, he has been staying at Honglu Temple, passing on his experience of working with Turks on production capacity to Shi Xiang one by one. At the same time, he also

Ask him for people to form the Western Region Division.

Many affairs within the palace are linked to Honglu Temple. As the young eunuch of the palace, Li Yuan also came to Honglu Temple today to handle the docking procedures.

"If you want someone, you'd better hurry up." Yang Ji said to Changsun Sheng.

After Chang Sun Sheng heard this, the smile on his face suddenly faded, and he asked in a solemn voice: "Is there something going on in the Western Region?"

"That's not true!" Yang Ji shook his head and said, "I'm going back to Liangzhou the day after tomorrow. If you can make it in time, we can go there together."

Changsun Sheng was overjoyed: "There's time, there's time! By the way, will my son-in-law go?"

Yang Ji nodded and said: "Of course we will go, our whole family will go."

"In that case, I will also take Maid Guanyin with me and let the young couple go to Liangzhou to reunite." Changsun Sheng said.

"Okay!" Yang Ji said with a smile: "Let Guanyin take care of her fiancé from now on, we don't care."

As soon as these words came out, all three of them laughed.

"Tang Gong!" Yang Ji bowed his hand to Li Yuan again and said, "I originally wanted to participate in the relocation of your mansion, but I'm afraid I can't wait any longer. I'm really sorry."

Yang Ji promised Li Yuan that he would participate in the Li family's housewarming ceremony, but now that things have changed, he has no choice but to break his promise.

"Your Majesty, you are very polite. State affairs cannot be delayed. I can understand that." Li Yuan returned the gift. He changed his tone and said with a humorous smile: "But your Majesty is not here, so the gift cannot be missing!"

"It's necessary! It's necessary!" Yang Ji also laughed. If there are no guests, gifts cannot be left out. This is the basic etiquette in the circle of powerful people. Just like the Yuan family and the Cui family, they obviously hate him to death, but he

When a son is born and takes a concubine, there are still many gifts. Li Yuan knew this and said this deliberately; if Li Yuan was facing someone who did not want to give gifts or could not afford to give gifts, he would not make up for the following.

One sentence.

Li Yuan had to go to the palace to do his work, and stopped mentioning the "gift". He said with regret: "My mother is old and misses her relatives especially. I wanted to invite my brothers and sisters to get together; and I also want to find an opportunity to talk to

The king chatted about family affairs, and at the same time asked his nephews to learn from the king. Since my aunt is also going to Liangzhou, it seems that we can only wait until next time."

There have been rumors in the capital recently about a rift between Yang Ji and Yang Guang, and some people have silently distanced themselves from Yang Ji out of the desire to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages; but Li Yuan, as a close official of the emperor, knows that this is not the case at all.

Yang Ji became the powerful shepherd of Liangzhou at a young age. Of course, it was due to his record and ability, but it was also inseparable from the emperor's trust. If not, how could the emperor let Yang Ji go to Liangzhou to take charge? And even if

Yang Ji lost his post as pastor of Liangzhou and fell silent for a period of time.

But at his age, it is only a matter of time before he comes back. But those who do not know the truth and distance themselves just because of unsubstantiated rumors are extremely short-sighted. If Yang Ji really falls silent, not only will Li Yuan not

It will alienate him, but it will strengthen the relationship between the two parties when he loses power.

Now that he heard that Yang Ji said that he would return to Liangzhou soon, Li Yuan became more convinced of his judgment, and he even thought about letting his children interact more with Yang Ji; this would definitely be beneficial to the Li family and harmless to them.

Unfortunately, Yang Ji is about to travel far away.

Changsun Sheng had a good relationship with Li Yuan, and he understood that Li Yuan not only had the ambition to rejuvenate the family, but also wanted to make friends with the royal family members. After hearing what he said, he roughly guessed Li Yuan's intention of making friends with Yang Ji, so he smiled and said: "Young man

People have their own way of communication among young people, and the older generation hastily intervened, just to make the young people feel restricted and uncomfortable. And reading thousands of books is not as good as going to the battlefield once. If Shude is interested in his nephew learning from the king, he can go to Liangzhou for a walk.

Isn’t it okay to just suffer?”

When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but secretly cursed himself for being stupid, and quickly said to Yang Ji: "Your Majesty, Jiancheng highly praises Liangzhou in all aspects. After he came back, he kept talking about Liangzhou to his brothers, which attracted everyone's admiration for Liangzhou.

Extremely. I plan to let them go to Liangzhou to gain some knowledge, is that okay?"

Yang Ji thought that Li Yuan was just following Chang Sun Sheng's words and being polite, so he smiled and said: "Although Liangzhou has changed a lot, it is not a paradise on earth. But if Mr. Tang wants to reassure you, just let them go to Liangzhou."

Already."

Listening to the first half of Yang Ji's words, Li Yuan was originally disappointed, but the last sentence made him feel so happy that he handed over his hands repeatedly: "After the new year, I will ask him to bring his cousins ​​over to study with the king!"

Yang Ji was stunned. I just wanted to ask you, do you actually take it seriously? But the words had already been spoken, so he could only say: "You can do whatever you want."

"Then we have made an agreement. When they arrive in Liangzhou, if they don't obey me, just help me clean up and don't give me face." Li Yuan was overjoyed, but thinking that there were still many matters to be dealt with in the palace, he added:

"Your Majesty is pressed for time and needs to prepare, so I won't interrupt him. Farewell, farewell!" After saying that, Li Yuan bowed his hand to Changsun Sheng again, turned around and left.

Changsun Sheng saw Yang Ji stunned and said with a smile: "Shude attaches great importance to restoring the glory of the family, but he is already in his forties, and at such an age, he is just a young eunuch in the palace. He thinks that in this life

That's it; now, not only can the family's glory be restored in his hands, but he is also worried that the family will further decline in his hands. So he places his hope on the next generation and strives to create connections for the next generation. This is human nature,

Don’t blame him for being utilitarian.”

When Yang Ji heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, was now disappointed with himself and gave up on himself. Thinking of his achievements in history, Yang Ji could only say in his heart that "the times make heroes." He said to Changsun Sheng, "It's okay.

I can understand."

"As long as you understand!" Changsun Sheng smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Since we have decided to go together, I have to go to Honglu Temple again and let Shi Hongluqing give me all the promises I have made tomorrow.

Give me."

"Okay! You can do whatever you want!" Yang Ji and Changsun Sheng were not only in-laws, but also had a deep friendship when they were in Kengdong/Tujue. There was no need to be polite.

Changsun Sheng did not leave, but looked around. When he saw that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered to Yang Ji: "Yuwenshu is the largest iron merchant in the Sui Dynasty, and he is greedy. I

I'm worried that he will take advantage of Mozhou's convenient location to do something detrimental to the Sui Dynasty; if possible, go and warn him."

After hearing this, Yang Ji frowned and said, "It has been quite a while since Yu Wenshu received the appointment. Hasn't he left yet?"

"He plans to go north to Mozhou tomorrow. He even entertained guests yesterday, but very few people went to the banquet." Changsun Sheng was silent for a moment, and then said to Yang Ji: "Mozhou is not only a key place for us to march into Goguryeo during the Sui Dynasty, but also

You were the one who defeated it. Your understanding of Mozhou and its importance are clearer than anyone else."

Yang Ji knew that as soon as the imperial officials left the emperor's sight, they would let themselves go. After taking office, they often carried out cruel and bloody exploitation of the ethnic minorities in their jurisdiction. When the ethnic minorities in various places could not survive and rose up to resist, these officials

Another thief shouted to catch the thief, sent troops to suppress it, and then became a great hero of the imperial court and received heavy rewards from the imperial court.

Yang Guang successively served as the general manager of Bingzhou and the general manager of Yangzhou. He was an emperor who moved from the local level to the central government. He was well aware of the phenomena and chaos that existed in the local area, such as forcing good people to rebel, killing good people and taking merit, etc., so he served as the censor.

Within the platform, two additional stations were set up: Sili and Yezhe. The purpose was to add a yoke to local officials so that they would not dare to go too far as before.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Ji nodded and said to Chang Sun Sheng: "Mozhou is not only very important, but also a place where many ethnic groups live together. Ordinary people really can't govern Mozhou. If officials enforce the law impartially and handle official business, that's all. If

Officials were corrupt, perverted the law, and oppressed good people. The people in this place would definitely become disloyal and betray the Sui Dynasty."

"Those of us who have been dealing with foreign races for many years naturally understand that the situation in the border states is complicated and we also know the important value of the border states to the imperial court. However, many officials sent by the imperial court are only thinking about promotion and making a fortune. It was okay when they first arrived, but they

Once they find that border states are difficult to govern, they often resort to forcing good people to become thieves, and then use "quelling rebellion" to achieve the goal of promotion and wealth. As for the prestige of the court and the public sentiment, they don't take it to heart at all." Changsun Sheng

He sighed and said, "This is why I asked you to warn Yuwenshu! If you tell Yuwenshu the importance and strategic value of Mozhou one by one, he will definitely not dare to do whatever you want, and the effect will be better than the simple advice of a saint.

Give good advice."

"Okay, I'll go to Yuwen Mansion right now. Say goodbye!" Yang Ji said, bowed his hand to Changsun Sheng, and walked away.

"Farewell!" Changsun Sheng watched Yang Ji leave, turned around, and walked towards the west gate of the Honglu Temple compound.
