Zhang Jin's so-called "small gang of thieves" does not exist now, which does not mean that there will not be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It seems that the appearance of this book has indeed deeply stimulated the bottom line of the world's aristocratic families. If it really angers them completely, I am afraid that the situation will Just as Zhang Jin said, "small groups of bandits" will be staged in every state and county in the Sui Dynasty, and will become more and more intense.
The Guanlong nobles, Shandong nobles, and Southern nobles are the top aristocratic families in the world. They are constantly marrying each other, and their common interests motivate them to join forces. Once these huge political power groups reach a consensus, the world will be at war. Corpses littered the fields.
What can the emperor do? How dare you?
It's just nonsense that an emperor sheds blood and lays down millions of corpses in anger.
Even if the Sui and Yang Dynasties were able to suppress the rebellion, the result would be that all the prosperity and prosperity that the Sui Dynasty had worked so hard to create would be destroyed in one day. Even if the world is once again pacified, the foundation of Yang's rule over this empire will still be riddled with holes and crumbling!
This is a consequence that Yang Jian is unwilling to face.
The Guanlong nobles, Shandong nobles, and Southern nobles also saw this clearly, and they dared to attack Yang Jian unscrupulously many times!
In the face of the cruel reality, even Yang Jian, as an emperor, had to lower his "noble" head again and again.
But Yang Jian has already suffered the notoriety and infamy of abandoning learning. If he once again bans books and burns them, the "Great Sui Dynasty" and the Yang family will definitely lose all the hearts of literati. Needless to say, the aristocratic families who have turned against each other; even the common people from poor families will blame Yang Jian for chanting the imperial edict. As for the emperor's hard struggle in the court, the poor people don't know, don't care, don't care, let alone understand. Yang Jian's painstaking efforts.
At this moment, Yang Jian can be said to be worried about advancing and worrying about retreating.
"Saint!" Just as Yang Ji was thinking hard about countermeasures, Yang Guang and Yang An, a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were helping Yang Jian press his temples, but with little effect. Yang Ji vaguely saw Yang Jian's blood-red face from the gap between the two. Twisted, Yang Jian tightly covered his mouth with blood between his fingers, and there was even a faint trace of blood overflowing. It was unclear whether he vomited blood or bit his lip and tongue in pain.
He immediately took a few steps forward, bowed and said, "The saint is not in good health, so why not postpone this matter until the saint's health improves?"
Cui Zhongfang strode forward and frowned: "This matter is related to the foundation of the country. We cannot neglect it for a moment. How can we give up halfway?"
Yang Ji stopped Cui Zhongfang, stared at him solemnly and said, "Does Cui Shilang insist that a saint struggle in pain?"
Cui Zhongfang stared at Yang Ji without fear, and said generously and uprightly: "Mencius said: 'The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the most important.' This matter is related to the peace of the world. This old minister is doing it for the sake of the country, the country, and the people of the world. For the sake of thinking, if this saint is in poor health, he will ignore the affairs of the country..."
"Haha, hahaha... Such a person who 'thinks about the country, the country, and the people of the world.'" Yang Ji laughed angrily, and his anger burst out like lava. Yang Ji, who had been enduring it for a long time, did not intend to endure it anymore, and said as if Han Bing said: "If you and other nobles could follow the way of Confucius and Mencius, why would corrupt officials be rampant in the world? Why would there be land annexation? It is really shameless for a bunch of these people who are full of male thieves and female prostitutes to talk about the way of Confucius and Mencius here. "
Cui Zhongfang glared at Yang Ji and shouted: "King Wei, what do you mean by this? Are you too arrogant?"
"Which of the corrupt officials I arrested in Liangzhou is not from your noble clan? There are fifteen of you from the Cui family in Boling, seventeen from the Zheng family from Xingyang, and twenty-four from the Wang family from Taiyuan. By the way, Zhang Jin General, you have many children and retainers, but they are in the army... This is only the nine states of Liangzhou. If it were expanded to the entire world, how many corrupt officials who have taken bribes and perverted the law would be the children of your noble clan?" Yang Ji looked at Cui Zhongfang without giving an inch, and said angrily: "This is what you call the heirloom of poems and books. I think it is more like the heirloom of Shuo Shu. You three Shuo Shu will wait for me. After I leave the dynasty, I will Go to the Ministry of Personnel to collect the list of corrupt officials who have stolen official grain and annexed land. At that time, I will definitely publish the origins and crimes of these people to the world, and let more than 50 million people see you, Boling Cui. , the true faces of the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Wang family in Taiyuan."
The officials were in an uproar!
The usual routine of the Boling Cui family, Xingyang Zheng family, and Taiyuan Wang family is to bring the scum of the clan back to the family for punishment, and then declare to the outside world that they have been expelled from the family; but such ignorant commoners and common people are still stupid. The Laji people praised them and said everywhere that they were selfless and had strict family rules.
But what about reality?
These prisoners who were brought back either held important positions in the family, or they changed their names and continued to be officials through family connections.
People think that it is normal for a family to have one or two scoundrels, but if Yang Ji counts up all the criminal officials of each family within a year and then announces them uniformly, the sensational effect will be more than just one plus one equals two. It's simple. If you were more ruthless and included prisoners who were related to each other, it would be enough to make these hairpin nobles fall from the clouds and be disgusted and abandoned by the people. After the Sui Dynasty, they would never be able to recover.
Cui Zhongfang and others naturally knew this truth. He could no longer maintain his previous demeanor. He pointed at Yang Ji angrily and said, "How dare you?"
Yang Ji smiled coldly: "I'm just exposing some corrupt officials to the public. I'm not committing murder or breaking the law or bullying men and women. Why shouldn't I dare?"
These days, there are no rules for criminals to wear hoods, for witnesses to appear only to be retaliated against, and criminals have no rights to name protection. What the hell is he afraid of?
He has enemies all over the world now, and he is in a state of "don't bite him if he has too many lice, and don't worry if he has too many debts." So what's the point of having a few more enemies?
What if you want to take revenge? Let’s just hurt each other! Let’s see who cares about more things, who cares about more people, and who can kneel down and beg for mercy first.
Anyway, he, Yang Ji, couldn't do it if he was asked to sit back and watch his father-like uncle suffer unbearably.
"You...!" Cui Zhongfang was so angry that his blood pressure soared, his face turned red, and he glared at Yang Ji with a sneer on his face, wanting to pounce on and bite this bastard to death.
"What are you doing? I am not even afraid of the hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops. How can I be afraid of the Cui family of Boling, the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the Zhang family of Guanzhong who specialize in raising scum and rats?" Yang Ji laughed: "Just wait and see, I will make you famous in Daxing City today."
Now that he knows that these people's weakness lies in their family and reputation, Yang Ji can also fight back.
"That's enough! I won't burn or ban books, that's what I've decided." Yang Jian finally calmed down. He slapped the table and stood up, looking at Zhang Jin with a serious look: "I only had half of the world at the beginning. The Turkic Khanate, which had been overwhelmingly slaughtered in just three years, has surrendered and surrendered. Do you really think that Mo Feier and others would not dare to lead their Tiger and Ben troops to cleanse this beautiful river and mountains now? What a big joke."
As soon as Yang Jian's words came out, murderous intent overflowed, and all the officials in the court were startled by Yang Jian's murderous tone.
He glanced at Yang Jian involuntarily. His cheeks were as sharp as dry tree bark. But although the tiger is old, it still retains its power, and its pair of bright black eyes are breathtaking, and it is terrifying to look at it. But the most shocking thing is his unparalleled domineering and majestic appearance that looks down on the world, making him look like a demon looking down on all living beings.
Looking at Yang Jian in front of them, many people had an unpleasant feeling in their hearts. This time, Yang Jian was obviously going to kill someone.
"Yang Xiong." At this moment, everyone felt the murderous aura in Yang Jian's body, and a cold light seemed to hit their backs, making many people tremble.
"The final general is here!" King Ande is also a commander-level figure who is brave and good at fighting, and has both civil and military skills. Although he is in his sixties, he is still young. Yang Jian's encouragement made him seem to have returned to the prosperous years.
There was a kind of fanaticism in Yang Jian's eyes, and the long-lost iron-blooded demeanor returned to him again!
"I appoint you as the shepherd of Yongzhou, the general manager of Yongzhou, and supervise the military of the eighteen states. I give you the power to kill officers below the fifth rank. I will immediately rectify the military of Yongzhou tomorrow. If you are a heinous person, it doesn't matter where he comes from or who his father is. Whose dog is it? I will kill it without mercy." Yang Jian looked at Yang Xiong and continued:
"Those who steal people's property for their own gain will be killed!"
"Those who laugh loudly and flout military regulations will be killed!"
"Those who are in charge of money and food and do not distinguish between rewards and punishments will be killed!"
"Those who oppress the common people and rape women shall be killed!"
"……cut!"
"..."
A series of words "kill" were spoken by Yang Jian in a murderous manner, and the atmosphere in the hall was also exaggerated into a murderous manner! Yang Ji was also excited by the series of "cut" words, and he couldn't help but straighten his body.
"General, I obey!" Yang Xiong responded loudly.
Yang Jian called out again calmly: "Yang Guang."
"The final general is here!" Yang Guang's father's overlord aura made Yang Guang so excited that his voice trembled slightly. At this moment, he felt that the invincible father who led a hundred battles across the Northern Qi Dynasty was back again. !
It was hard for Yang Guang to see this kind of scornful demeanor from his father after his father ascended the throne as emperor! This long-lost unparalleled glory finally reappeared, which made him so excited that his eyes filled with tears, and he looked at his father with admiration as he did when he was a child.
Yang Jian said: "From now on, you will also be in charge of the military affairs in Guanzhong."
"I will obey your orders." As Yang Guang bowed and saluted, he secretly wiped away the tears of excitement from the corners of his eyes.
"Yang Su, Gao Jiong."
"I'm here!"
"Can we still fight?"
"The minister can fight, but the saint has a destiny, and the minister will do whatever he wants."
"Take good care of yourself and be ready at any time."
"Here." Yang Su and Gao Jun stood up one after another. At this moment, the two of them seemed to have put aside their past prejudices and responded to the order together.
"Yang Ji!" Yang Jian looked at Yang Ji with a slightly softer gaze. He saw his nephew's efforts and anger in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
"The end will be here." Yang Jian in Yang Ji's heart was a somewhat conspiratorial and somewhat mean elder. Even though he was made miserable by Queen Dugu, he always remained cheerful, mean, and without any trace of shame. The imperial demeanor, and this domineering scene in front of him was the first time Yang Ji had ever seen from Yang Jian, and it really shocked him.
Yang Jian pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Your wedding day was originally scheduled for mid-August, but I intend to change it to this month. What do you think?"
Yang Ji cupped his hands and said: "State affairs are the most important thing, and the general will not have the slightest opinion."
Yang Jian smiled and nodded: "That's good. After you get married, you can immediately return to Liangzhou to take charge."
"Here." Yang Ji responded loudly.
"Xiao Jue!" Yang Jian recalled the name of Xiao Jue, the Minister of Military Affairs.
"I'm here!"
Yang Jian coldly ordered: "Instruct Yang Liang, the general manager of Bingzhou, Yang Zhiji, the general manager of Yangzhou, Yang Lun, the general manager of Yanzhou, Yang Zhao, the general manager of Yuzhou, Dugu Kai, the general manager of Yizhou, and Dou Kang, the general manager of Youzhou, to actively train their troops and prepare for war. . In addition, the appointment of Lu Guogong Liu Fang as the general manager of Jiaozhou is also a way to actively train troops and prepare for war."
Xiao Jun said solemnly: "I obey your order!"
Yang Jian, who issued a series of appointments and combat tasks, tried his best to calm down. His already stooped body straightened up, his eyes as sharp as arrows stared at Zhang Jin, and he said coldly: "Zhang Jin, you can just arrange all the states in the country." The county's 'small bandit bandits' will be reported in full, and I'll be waiting."
Yang Jian, who had endured it for a long time, finally decided not to endure it anymore!
These bastards who thought they were superior to others challenged his bottom line again and again, and he couldn't bear it anymore!
"General, I don't dare!" Zhang Jin felt waves of tangible murderous intent coming towards him, making his face pale for a while. His long hair was soaked with sweat, and the locks were stuck together, drop by drop. Sweat rolled off his temples and wet his clothes. It wasn't until Yang Jian's dagger-like gaze passed over him that he fell to the ground as helpless as a clown.
"It's because I don't dare, not because I don't want to, right?"
In fact, Yang Jian also knew what the people of the Sui Dynasty wanted at this time. Even if someone dared to rebel, he did not believe that the people of the Sui Dynasty, who lived a prosperous life and lived contentedly, would support the rebellion.
This arrangement is not only to protect the promotion of printing and books, but also to show his sword to the Guanlong nobles and Shandong nobles, showing that he is not afraid of fighting the world again. Such a tough attitude will definitely get rid of the Guanlong nobles and Shandong nobles. If the Shandong gentry's war blackmail is repeatedly avoided, this blackmail will only continue endlessly.
Are you the only ones who know how to blackmail?
I, Yang Jian, can do it too, and I can play better than you.
Don’t you always like to disrupt the world at the turn of the old and the new?
I, Yang Jian, will accompany you to the end.
Now that I have such a plan, I will definitely be able to cleanse a group of bad apples. If you Guanlong nobles and Shandong nobles still dare to rebel, then I can solve these restless political forces once and for all.
A ruined Guanzhong was exchanged for the long-lasting prosperity of the Sui Dynasty.
Worth it!
"Retreat!" After Yang Jian finished speaking, regardless of the reaction of the ministers in the palace, he left the throne with Yang An's support and walked towards the back hall from the side door.
"Farewell to the saint!" The ministers bowed and saluted, and then left one after another.
"King Wei has a sharp mind and a grand approach, which is really eye-opening for me!" Cui Zhongfang caught up with Yang Ji and said coldly: "It's just that the world is like chess, and you may not always follow your heart. King Wei is still young, and it is inevitable that he will be passionate and impulsive. This Qi-nurturing skill still needs to be sharpened."
Yang Ji smiled politely and said calmly: "Whether the king needs to hone his skills, I don't have to worry about Minister Cui. If Minister Cui can't stay idle, he should go back and discipline the prisoners of the Boling Cui family."
"King Wei!" Cui Zhongfang shouted, causing the surrounding officials to stop and watch, but he ignored Yang Ji and glared at Yang Ji: "What is the hatred these officials have against you? You want to harm them like this?"
Yang Ji said impassionedly: "Mencius said: 'The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the most important.' Only by announcing the names of the offenders one by one can we have the effect of punishing past mistakes, avoiding future ones, and warning future generations. How can we give up halfway?" ? This king is thinking about the country, the country, and the people of the world. If I don’t tell the world because of my background as a criminal, how will I face the people of the world? "
"puff!"
Niu Hong, who followed, saw that Yang Ji had imitated Cui Zhongfang's sentences, tone, and expression so perfectly that he couldn't help laughing.
"You..." Cui Zhongfang was so angry that he almost vomited blood and asked with blazing eyes: "What exactly do you want?"
"I want to announce it." Yang Ji smiled coldly. You obviously want to ask for help, but you are still so arrogant and condescending. Do you really think you are great? I just won’t accept your tricks.
Anyway, they are already enemies. If we don't take the opportunity to beat up the lost dog and peel off a layer of these sanctimonious things, how can we live up to my mother's painstaking teachings? Do we have to wait for you to deal with us with your complete strength and perfect reputation?
"I want to see if King Wei has the guts." Cui Zhongfang's old face flushed red, and his two blood-red eyes glared at Yang Ji fiercely, like a beast that chooses people to devour!
"Bujia Khan didn't believe it either, so he died." Yang Ji shook his head and followed Niu Hong towards Shangshu Province.
