Original everyone who followed Yang Xuangan to Guanzhong has been granted official positions, but Xie Sili is still an aide, without a single official position, and has gradually been squeezed out of the decision-making circle. Yang Xuangan basically no longer listens to his suggestions. Yang Xuangan has been
At the end of the journey, Xie Sili's request for advice reminded him of the fact that he had offered his plans to take over Guanzhong.
"Let him in!"
After a moment, Xie Sili walked in and bowed to Yang Xuangan, "See Mr. Chu!"
"Mr. Xie has something to see me?"
Yang Xuangan tried to maintain a polite attitude. At this time, Yang Xuangan's eldest son Yang Jun also appeared. He was next door to serve his father. When he heard that Xie Sili was coming, Yang Jun felt a sense of jingle in his heart. He didn't say anything, in a corner.
Sitting down inside was like a surveillance person, which made Xie Sili really uncomfortable.
He suppressed his disgust for Yang Jun and said to Yang Xuangan: "I went to visit Wei Ji today and wanted to ask him to come out to assist Duke Chu."
Wei Ji was the head of the Wei family and the Minister of Taichang Temple in the Sui Dynasty. He stayed in Chang'an to assist the King of Dai Yang You. After the city of Chang'an was broken, Wei Ji lived in seclusion in Wei's mansion. Yang Xuangan visited him many times, but he avoided him. Yang Xuangan heard that
Xie Sili actually saw Wei Ji and was immediately excited. If the Wei family, the leader of the Guanlong gentry, was willing to support him, it would inevitably affect other Guanlong gentry, and the situation might not be reversed.
"What did he say?" Yang Xuangan asked anxiously.
Yang Jun next to him curled his lips. He couldn't understand why his father was still excited? His father visited the Wei family several times but never saw him. Xie Sili came to the Wei family and met him. Isn't this a disguised humiliation to his father? But Yang Jun did not
He said, and he also wanted to hear what the result of Xie Sili's visit to the Wei family was.
Xie Sili bowed and said, "Ge Lao Wei said that it would be fine if he came out to accept an official position, but he had one condition."
"What are his conditions?"
"Old Master Wei believes that the Yang family's children occupy too many important positions, and he hopes that Duke Chu will cut at least 60% of the time, he"
"Enough!"
Yang Xuangan scolded, his face was as deep as water, and Wei Ji was just an ordinary high-ranking official. In the past, he was not as good as himself in the court, nor was he Gao Jin. Taishan Beidou like Su Wei was just relying on a famous family and he actually wanted to cut six by himself.
As a child of the Yang family, what qualifications do he have to make such a request? It’s better if this person doesn’t need it!
Yang Xuangan was extremely annoyed, so he said to Xie Sili coldly: "In the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to visit these famous families without authorization. Go! This ends here."
Xie Sili sighed in his heart. He wanted to use the Wei family's mouth to point out the biggest drawbacks and problems of Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan relied too much on the family's children. The Yang family's children almost controlled all the important positions in the relevant county and court, which led to the major issues of Guanlong.
The aristocratic family was extremely disgusted. None of them was willing to serve Yang Xuangan. It would be fine if these Yang family children were excellent, but most of them were stupid and greedy people. They desperately plundered the people, which made the people resentful.
‘If Yang Xuangan doesn’t know how to return, he will be destroyed in the hands of the family!’ This is what Wei Ji said to him.
But Yang Xuangan's stubbornness and distrust of himself made Xie Sili a little desperate. Although he was ordered to assist Yang Xuangan, he also put a lot of effort into Yang Xuangan, and the foundation created by Yang Xuangan also had his contribution.
He did not want Yang Xuangan to lose, nor did he want Li Yuan to take away this foundation.
He sighed and stopped politely, stood up and went out directly. Behind him, Yang Xuangan's dissatisfaction with him was heard, and Yang Xuangan snorted heavily,
"Father should see through this person!"
Yang Jun took the opportunity to intervene, "My father visited Wei Ji three times, but he refused to see him, but Xie Sili went to visit this person. He actually saw him. Isn't this humiliating his father? Why is Xie Sili worth more than his father
?”
Yang Xuangan was irritated and waved his hand, "I don't need this person anymore, so don't mention him anymore. It's the end of April now, how about the tax income? Can it meet military expenditure?"
Currently, Yang Jun serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, in charge of the money, grain and income and expenditure of Guanzhong. The Minister of Revenue was Zhang Ji, the former prefect of Shangluo County, who assisted Yang Xuangan in making a comeback. Zhang Ji served as the Minister of Revenue, but the power of the Ministry of Revenue is actually in Yang Jun's hands.
In his hands, Zhang Jicai's power was undermined and almost became a idle position.
However, Yang Jun served as the magistrate of Shangdang County for many years, and later became the doctor of the Ministry of Rites. He was qualified to serve as the Minister of Revenue.
He quickly bowed and said, "The main reason is that Fufeng County is controlled by the Dou brothers. In addition, there are some household registration relationships that have not been straightened out, so the tax income is not ideal. The child will approve the household registration as soon as possible, and the father will also urge the counties to collect tax grain.
, especially they are not allowed to reduce taxes from major investors at will."
Yang Xuangan didn't say anything. He knew that if he continued to investigate, the problem would arise. Who was arbitrarily reducing taxes from major households? It was the magistrate of each county, and who were the magistrates of each county? The Yang family's children went back to it.
Xie Sili’s suggestion just now.
Yang Xuangan sighed helplessly. In fact, he also knew that the Yang family's children occupied high positions and were jealous, but he had no choice. If the Yang family's children were not used, who else could he trust?
Xie Sili came out of the mansion and happened to meet Zhang Ji hurriedly. Due to Yang Xuangan's lack of officials, the entire court center only had a Secretariat Province, and no servants on both sides were required. Yang Xuangan served as the Secretariat Order, with six Secretaries under it. Zhang Ji was named a household
The Minister of the Ministry was in charge of financial power, but in fact, the financial power was in the hands of Yang Jun, the son of Yang Xuangan. His power was undermined. Yang Xuangan felt a little disgusted and appointed him as the prefect of Jingzhao and in charge of the public security of the two counties of Chang'an.
"Sili, is Mr. Chu here?" Zhang Ji asked Xie Sili.
"Here, I saw him just now, Shangshu Zhang, has something happened?" Xie Sili asked worriedly when she saw Zhang Ji's indignation.
"There are big things happening every day. If he doesn't restrain the Yang family's children, I will stop doing it!" Zhang Ji said angrily.
It was another child of the Yang family. Xie Sili sighed, bowed his hand, and left.
Zhang Ji was walking all the way, and something big happened this afternoon, almost bursting his lungs. If Yang Xuangan didn't care, he would let go and remain his prefect of Shangluo County.
Zhang Ji walked to Yang Xuangan's study room, and the guard reported it to him. After a moment, he walked into the study room. Yang Xuangan was the only one in the study room. He knew that Yang Jun and Zhang Ji had a bad relationship, so he let Yang Jun walk through the back door.
"Why is Brother Dazhi looking unhappy? What happened?" Yang Xuangan said with a smile.
"I know you're busy. If it's a small matter, I won't look for you."
Zhang Ji sat down, but his anger was still gone, and his face couldn't hide his anger. "Last night, a family killing occurred in Ganye Temple. All seventy nuns were killed, and the thirty nuns were gone."
After Yang Xuangan occupied Chang'an, in order to reduce expenses, he cleaned up the palace and sent a group of palace maids home, but a group of palace maids were lucky enough to be visited by Emperor Wen in the past and were only in his early thirties. Yang Xuangan was unable to deal with them, so he let them go.
At Ganye Temple, about thirty people became monks.
Yang Xuangan was surprised. This was indeed a big deal. After all, he was the concubine of Emperor Wen of Sui. If he was kidnapped and defiled by the thief, Yang Xuangan would be criticized by the people of the world and would arouse public outrage.
"What's going on and who did it?" Yang Xuangan asked anxiously.
"I received a report this morning. After searching for a day, I finally found the murderer and found the whereabouts of these Gong Ni. Does Mr. Chu know who did it?"
Yang Xuangan felt a bad feeling in his heart. In Chang'an, he might only have children from the Yang family who could kill people and kidnap the palace concubine. He secretly prayed that this matter had nothing to do with the Yang family and asked nervously: "Who is it?"
"It was done by the son of Duke Zhao!"
Zhang Ji said coldly: "Those group of palace nuns are now at Duke Zhao's mansion."
Yang Xuangan's heart suddenly sank into the abyss. Duke Zhao was his clan's brother Yang Xuanjing, and he was appointed as the commander of Tongguan. He was in charge of 50,000 troops and was responsible for the defense of Tongguan and Pujinguan. He knew that this clan's brother was good, but he did not expect that he would be like this.
He acted boldly and hijacked the palace concubine.
"You go and ask them if they want someone?" Yang Xuan asked angrily.
"Here I went. His son ordered the soldiers to be beaten out."
Zhang Ji rolled up his sleeves and revealed a bruise on his arm. Yang Xuangan could no longer hold his face. He suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "I will go and ask for someone personally, and I will give Brother Da an explanation."
Yang Xuangan personally led five thousand troops to surround Yang Xuanjing's mansion. Yang Xuanjing's mansion was the original Yang Zhao's mansion. Yang Xuangan was rewarded by Yang Xuangan. In the fireworks, thousands of soldiers were fully armed, with a shiny sword, standing in line on the gate steps.
side.
A group of female nuns were found out by soldiers from the mansion, with tears on their faces all over their faces, pitiful, and a lieutenant ran up, "Report to Mr. Chu, and the nuns were found."
The evidence was conclusive, Yang Xuangan felt annoyed, and then ordered: "Let them get on the car and send them back to the palace for temporary resettlement."
At this time, amid the screams and scolding, Yang Xuanjing's second son Yang Ling and more than 100 subordinates were arrested. Last night, they destroyed the family at Ganye Temple. Jian killed more than 70 nuns and robbed them to become monks here.
Thirty palace concubines.
"You bastards, let go! I'm going to kill you all."
Yang Ling roared, and was tied up by several soldiers and caught him. Yang Ling was about twenty-seven or eight years old. He was not a playboy himself and read a lot of books, but everyone has good or evil in their hearts.
The side of the matter, when his unrestrainedness and when he does evil without any cost, the demon hidden in his bones is released.
Yang Ling was named Wugong County Duke and served as the General of Zuo Xiaogu. He relied on the power of his father Yang Xuanjing and was domineering and doing all kinds of evil. He knew that his father had been trying to attack the concubines in the palace, but Xie Yingdeng was in charge of the palace and had strict defenses. He did not
Chance.
He turned his gaze to the thirty monks and concubines in Ganye Temple and snatched them back to the mansion last night.
Yang Ling was pressed to kneel on the ground. When he looked up, he found that the person on the horse turned out to be the head of the family. He stared at him with anger on his face. His arrogant arrogance suddenly became frightened. He knew very well what he had done, so he knelt on the ground.
He begged, "The head of the family, my nephew is just naughty. I will never dare to do it again next time. I beg the head of the family to spare me this time."
Yang Xuangan also knew that it would be impossible for these tribe members to be unrestrained. This time, they were robbing the palace concubine and dared to beat Zhang Ji. Zhang Ji was not only his benefactor, but also the veteran of the rebellion. If Zhang Ji was not given an explanation, I would not know that it would be cold.
Many people's hearts have decided to use this matter to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and use Yangling to criticize the increasingly arrogant tribe members.
"Shut up!"
Yang Xuangan shouted angrily, pointed at more than 100 subordinates and said, "Beat them all to death!"
He pointed at Yang Ling again, "Drag him down and beat him a hundred sticks."
The soldiers were like wolves and tigers, holding more than 100 people to beat them, crying and howling all over the sky. In a moment, they beat more than 100 Yang Ling's men to death. Although Yang Ling was just a heavy responsibility, he usually did too much evil, so the soldiers were forced to do so.
They hated him very much. Soon, an unfortunate news came. Yang Ling couldn't support him when he hit seventy sticks and died.
