Su Wei has been in politics for decades and has become deeply immersed in the officialdom. In addition, he is not a loyal and upright person himself. He has a very thorough understanding of various official interests when calculating personal interests. This is also the reason why Yang Yuanqing asked him for advice.
Yang Yuanqing's request made Su Wei very proud, which greatly satisfied his vanity. More importantly, it was in his interest to attack the Hebei system, so he was of course willing to give advice to Yang Yuanqing.
Su Wei stroked his beard and smiled: "In fact, it is not difficult to deal with Hebei officials. Your Highness might as well go in two steps."
Yang Yuanqing was excited and asked, "Prince Su, please tell me, what two steps are there?"
"The first step is to transform it into internal parts. Your Highness might as well give the order of the King of Chu to give the governments of various places in the Sui Dynasty a deadline, and limit the local officials to clear the accounts of the charity warehouse within two or three months. With this
The decree was put under the foundation, and then His Highness began to mobilize officials from all over Hebei. Without leaving Hebei, they would exchange them in the counties and counties in Hebei...."
Before Su Wei could finish speaking, Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but praise, "It's true!"
Su Wei's differentiation strategy is very vicious. He has insight into people's hearts. No official is willing to wipe his or her ex. He will definitely clear his or her responsibilities. This will easily create conflicts between officials from all over the country and divide them.
the alliance of interests.
Yang Yuanqing was also excited and continued to ask, "What about the second step?"
Su Wei said calmly: "I have a very bad habit in the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty, which is also the legacy of the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system, that is, officials have served in one place for too long, at least five or six years, and at most ** years.
There are even more than ten years left, which makes it easy for officials to collude with local famous families and form a unity of interests. In fact, the reason why the Lu, Cui and other aristocratic families can control the local officialdom of He is this. I suggest that the Sui Dynasty should implement an official avoidance system.
And rotation system. It is not allowed to be an official in the hometown, and a local official is changed every three years. The low-level position means that after the food in the charity warehouse is over, the Hebei officials will be transferred to Hedong, and the Hedong officials will be transferred to Hebei, so that they can
Break the control of the Hebei region by Lu, Cui and other families."
This plan gave Yang Yuanqing a enlightened awakening. He also considered the rotation system of officials, but not from the perspective of dealing with the aristocratic family, but from the perspective of preventing corruption. Today, Su Wei's words woke up from his dream
The person.
Yang Yuanqing paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, feeling an uncontrollable excitement in his heart. The reason why the major families are powerful is largely because their peripheral forces are strong, that is, their relatives, friends and children, or
It is a variety of marriages.
The system of rotation in other places is implemented. The peripheral forces of the aristocratic families are transferred thousands of miles away and replaced every three years. Taking advantage of the inconvenient restrictions on communication in other places, the peripheral forces of the major aristocratic families can be cleverly removed, and then through the imperial examinations and popularization of education, etc.
Breaking the monopoly of major families over cultural education, the aristocratic families will begin to decline in ten or twenty years.
At the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yuanqing urgently needed support from the Shandong gentry, so he was more tolerant of the Shandong gentry. So 70% of the officials in the court came from various famous gentry, just like at the beginning of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, more than 90% of the officials were
Like Xianbei people.
This is also a choice that has no choice, but once you gain a foothold, neither the new Sui Dynasty nor the old Sui Dynasty nor the Tang Dynasty in history will tolerate a certain force becoming stronger.
Yang Yuanqing has now controlled a large area of land north of the Yellow River and the Central Plains south of the Yellow River. He is like Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms, with a strong power.
For him, the role of the Shandong gentry has faded. Of course, he still needs to use the Shandong gentry to consolidate his rule over the north and the Central Plains.
However, the Shandong gentry was no longer as important as it was at the beginning, so he also had to appropriately suppress the strong expansion of the gentry, but it was definitely not suppression. This is a kind of grasp of degree. It is not enough to be too tight or too loose.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing had an idea in his mind, and he knew what to do.
Su Wei smiled but said nothing, his eyes were full of scams. He was an extremely cunning man. He was openly helping Yang Yuanqing to deal with the Hebei system, but in fact he also stabbed Pei Dang in secret. He was transferred to Hedong officials.
When going to Hebei, is it different to wear small shoes for the Pei family? But he didn't say it.
"Your Highness, this matter must be done without any trace. The old minister advises you not to stand up and let the old minister do this. I wonder what your noble thinks?" Su Wei couldn't help but make further requests.
Therefore, the most difficult thing for a person to do is to control, that is, to grasp a degree. If Su Wei does not take the power to mobilize this official and just makes a suggestion, then Yang Yuanqing will only be grateful to him.
.
But Su Wei was unable to grasp this degree and did not control his inner scrutiny over power. He was proud and leaked his true thoughts.
Yang Yuanqing glanced at him and said lightly: "I will consider this matter. Thank you Master Su. I have been chatting for so long, thank you Master Su for your hard work. Please come back!"
Su Wei actually came for his successor. He took advantage of the opportunity to attack the Hebei system and finalized the matter of Chu Liang as the prime minister. Unexpectedly, before he could tell the matter, Yang Yuanqing didn't want to talk to him anymore.
It made Su Wei regret it. If we continue to talk about it, the effect may not be good.
Helplessly, Su Wei could only stand up and salute, "Your Highness has a lot of things, so the old minister said goodbye."
He walked out of the official room, but met the Chief Censor Han Shouzhong standing outside the door. Su Wei was stunned. Han Shouzhong was one of the backbone of his Su Party. Why didn't Yang Yuanqing know that he wanted to see him?
He suddenly realized that Yang Yuanqing told him to leave, but it was not that he was disgusted, but that Han Shou was waiting for the reception. The first person on the first day was to summon the Imperial Shuzhong, and there must be something important.
Su Wei quickly gave Han Shouzhong a glance and asked him to report to him later. Han Shouzhong nodded silently, and he understood Su Wei's meaning.
In fact, Han Shouzhong was not entirely the Su Party. As the Chief Censor, he had to be loyal to Yang Yuanqing. He was just because he received the kindness of the Su family since he was a child that he slightly favored Su Wei.
On the issue of principle, Han Shouzhong would never use his power to seek personal gain for Su Wei. At most, he would let Su Wei know some news in advance. Yang Yuanqing also knew his loyalty, so he still relied on Han Shouzhong and did not abandon it because he was considered the Su Party.
.
At this time, Pei Qingsong hurriedly stepped forward and said to Han Shouzhong: "Censor Han, please come in!"
Han Shouzhong quickly sorted out his clothes and hats, walked into the inner official room quickly, and bowed and bowed, "See Your Highness the King of Chu!"
Yang Yuanqing was standing in front of the window. He didn't look back and said in a very calm tone: "Chief Han, there are two things you need to do."
"Please give me the order!"
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, turned around and stared at the two memorials on the table, and slowly said: "The first thing is that you can impeach me from Ziwei Pavilion, abuse lynching, and kill the court officials without permission."
Han Shouzhong was stunned for a moment. He actually impeached the King of Chu himself. How could this be? He couldn't react for a moment.
Yang Yuanqing glanced at him, "Don't Censor Han understand what I said?"
After all, Han Shouchong was the censor. His surprise was only in a moment, but he immediately understood that it was because of the killing of the county magistrate Xu Shouxin in Fangzi County. He was both moved and admired.
He sighed that the King of Chu actually wanted to impeach him. The late emperor Yang Guang only admitted his fault when he was dying, and never admitted his fault at the rest of the time. He admired him because the King of Chu dared to admit his mistakes. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to do so.
He thought about it and bowed and said, "According to the procedure, your highness should be the one who apologized to the Empress Dowager directly. You don't need to impeach your highness for a low position."
Yang Yuanqing knew in his heart that if he was the emperor, no one could impeach him, and he could only issue an edict to guilt. However, the King of Chu was just the regent, and the emperor and the queen mother were the ones, so he could only apologize to the queen mother.
There is no practical significance for impeachment of Ziwei Pavilion at present, but Yang Yuanqing wanted to set a precedent. After a hundred years, his descendants would also exceed their power and kill officials. Then some counselors would come up with him to tell the story,'
The ancestor was impeached by the censor to Ziwei Pavilion.'
There is such a precedent, which is a kind of jing for his descendants. Thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "I know very well what to do, just do it as I told you."
"Yes! I will be impeached as soon as possible, please give me the second thing."
"The second thing is about the crime of bribery and dereliction of duty by the prefect of Zhao County Zhang Jibei. This person has been taken to Taiyuan. He is involved in the case of the corruption of charity grain by the magistrate of Fangzi County and the county magistrate. I consider this case and it is of great importance.
It is not appropriate to have a temple to examine the case. I decided to have the three temples of the Ministry, temple and Taiwan to examine the case, with the Censor Zhongcheng as the chief trial, that is, you, and Li Shaoqing of Dali Temple and Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of Justice as the deputy trial.
I'll give you ten days to get the case clear."
Han Shouzhong was secretly shocked. It turned out to be the third party to try. This case was really extraordinary.
.........
Second, the Censor Han Shouzhong formally filed an impeachment case to Ziweige, impeaching the regent Chu King Yang Yuanqing arbitrarily killed Fangzi County Magistrate and County Magistrate, and impeached him to abuse lynching, which is unprecedented in the law of the Sui Dynasty.
He was tortured and skinned and filled the grass, and expanded the charges, and used the army to kill the county magistrate and the county magistrate's family, which was suspected of interfering in politics with the army.
Han Shouzhong's impeachment suddenly shocked the court and the public. He dared to impeach the supreme ruler of the Sui Dynasty. It was unheard of. Countless people praised Han Shouzhong and even let him sweat coldly. Han Shouzhong caused a big disaster.
But unexpectedly, Ziweige actually accepted the impeachment and passed the impeachment by four votes, submitting the impeachment order to the Empress Dowager, while Yang Yuanqing remained silent from beginning to end.
It was not until this time that many ministers finally realized that this impeachment case was not Han Shouzhong's courage, but Yang Yuanqing's own intention. Without Yang Yuanqing's nod, how could Ziweige pass the impeachment order?
At this time, the government and the public developed great interest. What would the final result of this impeachment order? Will Yang Yuanqing be removed from the position of King Chu?
