In the study room in the middle courtyard of Yuwen Mansion, Yu Wenshu put down the official documents in his hand. Recently, as the imperial court's efforts to rectify the imperial army have gradually deepened, it has aroused widespread discussion and praise.
As the executive commander of the military reform, Yuwenshu tried his best to fight the first battle of his comeback. After the military reform plan was approved by Yang Guang, he sent out the twelve generals of the Guards, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice provided by Yang Guang , Yu Taishi officials went deep into the army and went hand in hand to investigate the five armies of Wannian, Chang'an, Fuping, Tongzhou and Huazhou.
Among the five armies, Yu Wenshu checked a total of more than 47,000 vacancies and arrested more than 1,400 officers who violated laws and disciplines, making the prisons of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment overcrowded; and then initially laid off more than 30,000 old and weak soldiers. , then create a new register and submit it to the Ministry of War.
These five armies were distributed around Daxing City and were in the sixth and seventh defense circles of the Sui Dynasty. Their main mission was to defend the capital. When Yang Jian was still alive, in view of the fact that the tasks of these five armies were not heavy, each army was given 30,000 soldiers. With a quota of five, the total strength of the five armies is 175,000.
After Yu Wenshu's purge, the quotas of these five armies in the Ministry of War were reduced by nearly 80,000 people. If these five armies are further reduced during intensive training, 60,000 to 70,000 people can be left, which would be quite good. .
Such resolute and smooth achievements gave Yuwenshu great confidence, and at the same time, Yuwenshu became the mainstay of the military. He was unparalleled in the limelight for a time. The emperor repeatedly praised and bestowed many gifts in public during the early dynasty.
However, as time went on and the rectification deepened, more and more old and weak generals and soldiers were laid off by Yuwenshu. The number of "unemployed" people also became larger and larger, and the grievances and dissatisfaction also disappeared from the bottom. The initial brewing has gradually grown, and with the secret instigation and connection of some people with evil intentions, the "unemployed" group is like a huge volcano, which will erupt with hot magma at just one opportunity.
Yu Wenshu is naturally aware of the anger of the "unemployed" group; but for him, the top priority now is to clean up the other eight armies before Yang Ji, and then reduce the old and weak; after this is completed In one step, after giving the emperor a satisfactory answer, it is not too late to resettle the old and the weak.
As for whether the old and the weak should riot, whether the riot is big or small, and how big the impact will be, Yu Wenshu has no time to think about it. He firmly believes that the military reform is the order of the court, and firmly believes that these people do not dare to cause trouble. He even wishes for this in his heart. A man starts a riot so that he can gain merit from it.
After processing more than a dozen official documents, Yu Wenshu rubbed his eyebrows and walked to the window to look out at the garden scenery.
Suddenly a figure flashed from the side, and when he looked closely, he saw the eldest son Yu Wenshu holding three books, with an expression of joy on his face as he had obtained something rare, trotting past the gallery of the Chuihua Gate. Yu Wenshu was a thin man. His face could not help but show a faint green air, and he yelled: "Stop!"
After hearing his father's voice of care, Yu Wenji stood still as if he had been restrained. He turned around stiffly. When he saw his father's sullen face in front of the window, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He froze and called carefully: "Aye."
"What are you holding in your hand?" Yu Wenshu shouted sharply: "You have been reading some shady books all day long, what on earth do you want to do? Hmm!"
Yu Wenhuaji was trained so that he did not dare to speak.
"Bring me the book in!" Yu Wenshu shouted loudly.
Yu Wenhuaji trembled and quickly entered the study room with fear. He accidentally tripped on the threshold and staggered for a few steps before standing up.
Seeing him like that, Yu Wenshu's hatred of iron over steel arose spontaneously, like an angry lion suddenly rising up. He stepped forward and kicked Yu Wenhuaji to the ground, and then kicked him wildly without caring about his face.
Although he is the commander-in-chief of military intelligence with great power, everything he does is offensive to others. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at him, and countless nobles whose sons have been arrested hate him deeply... Now every day Everyone is waiting for him to make a mistake. If he makes the slightest mistake, these people will definitely attack as a group. In addition, if he cannot satisfy the emperor, the emperor will be completely disappointed in him, leaving him with no chance to come back. These are also Yang's reasons. The fundamental reason why I am willing to be a "hands-off shopkeeper".
Yu Wenshu knew that he seemed to have unlimited success, but was actually walking on thin ice, so he had to think twice before doing anything. The huge pressure from all aspects made him feel tired even to take a breath.
The pressure, depression, and fatigue made him upset. After processing dozens of official documents, he was so dizzy that he just wanted to beat people and kill people.
The appearance of Yu Wenhua and his frivolous appearance ignited all kinds of negative emotions in his heart, so he couldn't help but kick his son violently.
While kicking him fiercely, he yelled: "You are moody, frivolous, and careless. How can you look like the son of a wealthy family? Don't look at how the Crown Prince, King Wei, Yang Xuangan, Yuan Min, and Shi Huaiyi acted like that." Human? You are all from a wealthy family, why do you think you are so unsatisfactory? Huh? I'll just kick you to death so that you don't have to continue to be embarrassed."
These days, it is natural for me to hit my son. His son dare not fight back and cannot even dodge or escape. Yu Wenhuaji received a fat kick inexplicably and his mind was in a mess.
Fortunately, he had been exposed since he was a child and had gained experience. The moment he fell down, he lay on his side on the ground and dropped the book in his hand. He cleverly held his head with both hands and curled up his hands to his chest to protect his vitals. Then he let his father kick his ass.
The more Yu Wenshu scolded, the angrier he got, and the angrier he got, the harder he kicked, and the harder he kicked, the more comfortable he felt... It wasn't until he kicked Yu Wenji's body to the door, pressed it against the threshold, and kicked him a few more times that he was satisfied. He stopped, then snorted coldly, bent down to pick up three books scattered on the ground, and sat on the couch.
Yu Wenhua and his heart knew that the storm had passed, so he quickly got up, straightened his clothes with a stern expression, and stood at the bottom in an orderly manner.
Yu Wenshu ignored him and lowered his eyes. When he saw the four words "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" clearly on the cover of the book, he knew that this was a book written by Yang Ji and recommended by the emperor. He seemed to have mistakenly blamed his son, but As an old man, although he had exercised a lot and felt very happy, he would never apologize to his son, so he found the first volume and started reading.
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone..." Yu Wenshu finished reading the word "Linjiang Immortal" and couldn't help but sigh: "This word is very heroic and tragic. It has both success and fame. The melancholy and loneliness at the end also hints at the hermit's indifference to fame and fortune. "The Green Mountain Is Still Here" seems to be a reflection of the hero's great deeds, and it also seems to lament the shortness of life, and the "several red sunsets" in the back are even more... It seems like history has been frozen... I have to say that Yang Wenhui's poems are really well written."
He raised his eyes and glanced at his son, and said angrily: "Look at me, then look at you!"
Yu Wenhuaji shrank his neck in fright, and couldn't help but hold his head in his hands.
Yu Wenshu ignored him and continued to look down. He was mesmerized by this look. The room in the study suddenly became quiet, except for the gentle sound of turning pages.
A similar scene was also taking place in some high-end residences in Daxing City.
There was a lack of entertainment options in this era, so the historical and elegant "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" quickly swept the entire Daxing city. As for Yang Ji's name, it spread to all directions again at the speed of a hurricane. As the Three Kingdoms book lovers discussed it in teahouses, wine shops, and brothels, the trend of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" "breaking the circle" became more and more obvious.
. . . . . . .
It was almost dusk, and the golden sunset was setting in the courtyard of the Duke of Yue. Yang Su held the third volume of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand and returned home in the sunset. He got this volume from Xiao Cong, the Chancellor of the Council. .
Yang Su was poor and frustrated when he was a child. Although he loved reading, he could not read. Only his uncle Yang Kuan appreciated him and opened his collection of books at home to him, so that he could read. Yang Su later met Niu Hong at the end of his childhood, and the two shared the same goals. , diligent and eager to learn, they concentrated on studying together and never felt tired. Therefore, in addition to being familiar with the art of war and statecraft, they also had extremely high attainments in literature, calligraphy, painting, and architecture.
Yang Su feels that all his achievements are derived from the knowledge in books. Even though he has already reached a very high position, he is always grateful for books and knowledge, and always in awe of the vast ocean of knowledge. , before studying, although he did not take a shower or change clothes, he was also famous for his love of books.
"It's really remarkable that King Wei can write such heroic articles." Yang Su couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the beautifully bound book in his hand.
Although "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is an anecdotal book with some truths and falsehoods, some falsehoods, some fictions and some truths, there is a lot of knowledge and content in it that makes Yang Sushen, who has experienced the world, feel convinced, especially the title of the opening chapter: "The general trend of the world, if divided for a long time, it will unite, and if it unites for a long time, it will unite. "It pierced his heart deeply.
If the country is like this, how can the family be the same?
From this, Yang Su couldn't help but worry about his family. Now that he had time, he planned to train his sons in the capital.
His eldest son Yang Xuangan is the heir. After his death, the family will be handed over to Yang Xuangan. However, although his son has the courage of an overlord, he cannot learn even half of his wisdom and tactics.
But when Yang Su thought about it carefully, he suddenly discovered that his eldest son was also a genius with a flexible mind when he was a child, but because he had no "decision-making power", no matter what he said, he rejected it because of "childishness"; slowly, Yang Xuangan seemed to think that he had said it Nothing counts, nothing you say is useless, and you simply stop thinking and using your brain. Over time, it becomes what it is now.
In addition to his eldest son Yang Xuangan, the same is actually true for Yang Yong and Gao Jiong's eldest son Gao Shengdao. Yang Yong and Gao Shengdao were also very smart children when they were young, but because they had a very powerful father, over time, they were denied that they were a A stupid kid without any opinion. In addition, there are many eldest sons of aristocratic families, all of whom are so honest that they have no opinions at all. What they have in common is that they all have an extremely powerful father.
Like myself, Yang Shuang, and Yang Ji, "wild children" who had no father since childhood, once they had an epiphany, it was as if they had divine help, and they became quite remarkable.
According to this, he is the biggest obstacle to the independence of his children and grandchildren. In order to let his children and grandchildren learn to be independent, is it right for him to commit suicide?
Yang Su was puzzled and was about to walk to the back hall when he suddenly heard the boys discussing among themselves:
"Did you hear that? King Wei can't come back. I think something unexpected happened..."
"You bastard, shut up!" Yang Su showed anger and shouted angrily.
Several servants who were gathering in the corridor were suddenly startled and bowed nervously: "Master!"
"Who told you to talk nonsense and use your words indiscriminately? Where did this rumor come from?" Yang Su asked coldly.
Under Yang Su's piercing gaze, all the slaves were so frightened that they collapsed in cold sweat and collapsed on the ground. A slave with a high status took courage and stammered: "The master of the house and the mistress's slaves all say so... "
"..." Upon hearing this, Yang Su immediately turned off the engine.
His wife's name is Zheng Qiye, she is the granddaughter of Zheng Daoying, the third minister of Yitong and the minister of agriculture in the Northern Wei Dynasty. She is a bit more powerful than Queen Dugu.
Back then, like Yang Jian, he made a mistake that all men in the world would make, and wanted to take that beautiful maid as his concubine. Unexpectedly, the tigress got into trouble, yelling at him and scratching him until Yang Su's face blossomed. , he was ashamed and angry, and said angrily, "You shrew, you are so unreasonable. If I became the emperor, I would definitely not make you the queen."
Ordinarily, it is normal for couples to quarrel and bicker, and it will be over after they understand each other. Unexpectedly, the tigress rushed to the palace and reported all the angry words he said while out of his mind to the late emperor. Fortunately, the late emperor felt sympathy for him and knew that it was just an angry word. Otherwise, their whole family would have been killed by this tigress long ago.
Although she was lucky enough to escape, Yang Su, who was not even afraid of death, was afraid of this tigress, who was neither serious nor serious. She was afraid that her whole family would be killed and tricked by this tigress; so when she saw her, she was like a mouse. Just like a cat, he doesn't dare to say anything or refute anything.
To this day, this fear has penetrated deeply into the bone marrow; outside, Yang Su is a majestic military god, war god, and prime minister; when he returns to the back house, he is a grandson.
That's all. The key is that under the arrangement of the tigress, Yang Xuangan married her niece, and the good daughter-in-law who was tolerant, knowledgeable, gentle and well-behaved was suddenly taught by the tigress to become a little tigress. .
Now, like him, his son is terribly afraid of his wife.
The temperament and character of the aunt-nephew and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have become exactly the same, and they want to get every benefit from their mother's family, which makes Yang Su extremely annoyed.
After a long while, Yang Su said coldly: "You go to the law enforcement hall to get the family law yourself. At the same time, tell others that no one is allowed to spread rumors in the house in the future. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be beaten to death with sticks."
"Follow the master's order." The slaves let out a long breath. Although the family law is heavy, it is at least better than death.
Yang Su ignored these servants, looked at the books in his hands, and ordered his followers as he walked: "Call Xuanzang, Xuanting, Xuanjian, and Wanxiang to the study. I have something to explain."
"Here!" The entourage saw that Yang Su's face was dark, and the joy just now was no longer there, so he quickly left.
. . . . . .
The back hall of Prince Wei's mansion!
Dugu Min frowned and asked Liu Xu: "What are the rumors in the capital these days?"
Liu Xu quickly explained: "Toffee, those 'rangers' in the market are talking nonsense. I have already asked people to investigate the source of the rumors."
"We have to find out. I want to see which bastard is talking nonsense." Dugu Min is a young widow who lost her husband. She has never been happy with rumors such as "King Wei was defeated and killed in battle"; but now, there are rumors in the city. The news that "King Wei died in battle" made her extremely angry.
"Yes, Princess!" Liuxu responded.
Xiao Ying and Pei Shuying have been very busy these days because of the "Royal Women's Foundation", and they are not aware of the rumors from the outside world. Seeing her mother-in-law so angry, Xiao Ying asked softly: "Auntie, what are you doing in the city?" What was passed on?"
Pei Shuying also raised her eyes and looked at her mother-in-law.
Su Yunniang on the side saw that Dugumin had no intention of explaining, and Liuxu did not dare to say anything, so she said: "Some people in the city said that Binzhou Prefecture soldiers defeated the bridge bandits three times, but failed miserably. This time, the young master led a group of old men. If you are weak, you will probably fail..."
Xiao Ying understood, and she comforted her softly: "Auntie, Aunt Su, didn't Rumei write a letter to report that she was safe a few days ago? The so-called old and weak are actually the heroes who fought in many battles brought by Aye during his lifetime. We are all strong warriors who are equal to ten. The reason why they become 'old and weak' is not because they are old and unable to fight, but because they lack a general who can convince them."
Pei Shuying answered, her clear and melodious voice full of infinite confidence: "Yes, Aniang, Lang Jun is a victorious general. Hundreds of thousands of fierce Turkic soldiers were easily defeated by him. How can he be a mere insignificant little thief?" How can it be difficult for him?"
Dugu Min looked at the two confident daughters-in-law, and when she thought about it, she couldn't help but smile: "I also know that King Kong Slave will not be defeated, but I just can't get angry." He looked at Pei Shuying, who suddenly became heroic, and said with a smile. : "Fortunately, Aying is born as a girl. If she had been born as a boy, she would have made great achievements and won a title."
Pei Shuying said in frustration: "It's okay if my mother doesn't say it. I regret it so much that my intestines are broken. If I had endured hardship and learned the sword seriously, now I can be like Sister Rumei and go to the battlefield with Lang Jun." No. However, I have no regrets."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone laughed out loud.
The faint haze in the hall immediately dissipated.
While everyone was talking, a King Kong Huhu entered the hall and reported: "Touchin, the young master's Izuku is back."
Dugumin said quickly: "Let her come in."
After a while, Zhang Chuchen, who was tired of traveling, walked to the hall and saluted: "I have seen the concubine, Aunt Su, aunt, and Sanniang."
Dugumin waved his hand, motioning for her to level up, and then asked: "Chuchen, where is your young master? Did you win the battle?"
Zhang Chuchen stood up straight and said: "Princess, the young master has won the battle. He is escorting the prisoners and prisoners to the capital. He should be there before dark."
"That's good!" Dugu Min's hanging heart finally settled down.
