Yang Ji's style and countermeasures are very suitable to Yang Guang's appetite. It doesn't mean that Yang Ji is smart or how brilliant his ideas should be, nor that others can't think of them; it's about what Yang Guang wants to do. It is aimed at nobles, it is shameful, and it cannot be brought up to the court for discussion.
Therefore, he could only think silently in his heart, which led to many omissions, deficiencies, mistakes, and harms in the plan. And the analysis from beginning to end by Yang Ji, the "core staff", was like a sharp sword; for Yang Guang, who was confused and didn't know where to start, he cut through the thorns that blocked the power of idle officials, and in In the tactical part, Yang Guang was given policy guidance.
The effect is just like Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" helping Liu Bei clear the fog ahead.
Yang Guang did not deny the contribution of the Guanlong nobles to the Sui Dynasty, but most of the idle officials came from the various clans of the Guanlong nobles, and the Guanlong nobles occupied most of the resources, rights and voice of the Sui military and political affairs. Their family had a great business They were a big, prosperous people, and they had been domineering for several dynasties. If they said that many of their descendants were moral saints, they would not believe it even if they killed Yang Guang and Yang Guang.
If the Guanlong nobles and their descendants really did something outrageous, even if they rely on the power of the family to suppress it, the persecuted people will pass on their hatred from generation to generation. If the court gives them courage and strength , they will definitely burst out this hatred.
The seemingly intangible thing of public grievances is what Yang Guang can take advantage of. If he follows Yang Ji's method and helps the people seek justice according to the law, he will not only win the hearts of the people, but also the children of these nobles in the case. , Clean up idle officials. If the court solves too many cases and causes a big sensation, then he can respond to the people's wishes and carry out a purge of idle officials in the world.
However, the person who does this kind of thing must not only understand the law, be good at breaking the law, be loyal and upright, but also must be a trusted minister who is not afraid of death and will not rebel. If he joins the Third Division of the imperial court, it will inevitably become a god-given opportunity for the officials of the Third Division to eliminate dissidents and make money. In the end, not only will it have no effect, but it will be noticed by the 'enemy'.
After putting aside the most suitable but responsible Yang Ji, Yang Guang had two suitable candidates in his mind. One was Zongzheng Shaoqing Yang Gongren, and the other was Liangzhou Criminal Cao Xiao Yu. Both of them were selfless and ruthless. Role.
Compared to Yang Gongren, Xiao Yu has more experience.
It can be said that Xiao Yu, who was taken out by Yang Ji to clear out old news, played an important role in Liangzhou's stability today.
When he thought that the imperial court had many affairs and idle officials, which were far beyond the reach of Liangzhou, Yang Guang decided to transfer both of them to his side.
Xiao Yu is the main force and Yang Gongren is the assistant.
When they come together, they will have unimaginable effects.
Thinking of this, Yang Guang was excited.
"Reporting to the saint, Xu Gongyu Wenshu requested to see you according to the order." At this time, an outside servant came to the door to report.
"Xuan!" Yang Guang said.
After a while, Yu Wenshu entered the Hall of Renshou, bowed and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Yu Wenshu, meets the saint!"
Although Yu Wenshu had many shortcomings, he was loyal to Yang Guang. Yang Guang had always supported him when he was the king of Jin. Even though he made mistakes during the military reform, his eagerness to come back was consistent with the court and the government. Yang Guang's interests are consistent.
Since he was convicted, he has been living a very low-key life, completely different from before; as the saying goes, he lives with his tail between his legs. Yang Guang felt that what was rare was that Yu Wenshu could stand up and speak uprightly at the court meeting where Cui Zhongfang impeached Yang Ji; after the court meeting, Cui Zhongfang became the main perpetrator of the mutiny, so he planned to use Yu Wenshu.
Moreover, Cui Zhongfang has taken the main responsibility. If Yang Guang uses Yu Wenshu again, there will not be too much opposition. However, Yang Guang was even more delighted that Yu Wenshu took the initiative to go to Mozhou the day before yesterday and asked for orders to take charge of Mozhou where the situation was complicated.
After taking a deep look at Yu Wenshu, Yang Guang motioned for him to lie down and asked in a harmonious voice: "Mr. Xu, I approve your memorial."
"Thank you, saint!" Yuwenshu was overjoyed.
Yang Guang nodded and suddenly asked: "If you guard the border, what will happen to your two sons?"
Yu Wenshu was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "After they have been taught a lesson, they have greatly restrained themselves. The old minister can only say that they are not as good as the superiors, but more than the inferiors."
Yu Wenshu knew the virtues of his eldest son and third son; once they left him, it would not take long for them to come out and do evil again, and without his supervision, they would probably be even more outrageous than before.
As his eldest son, Yu Wenhuaji not only has to inherit his business, but also manages and maintains connections in Beijing. After he goes north, he can only have his wife strictly control him. But Yuwen Zhiji has now become a human being, a ghost and a ghost, and his official career is hopeless. He plans to take him to Mozhou for training, hoping that he will become Yuwen Zhiji in the future.
Yang Guang sighed: "You are resourceful, knowledgeable in military affairs, and have outstanding merits. Why can't you teach a general who can take care of me?"
Yu Wenshu said bitterly: "I have been away for a long time, and what I owe most is their mother and son. In order to make up for the guilt in my heart, I might satisfy them, but unexpectedly it harmed them and made them develop arrogance and extravagance. I regretted it too late! "
Yang Guang could naturally hear Yu Wenshu's subtle confession and intercession, but he did not pay much attention to it. Instead, he said: "Shiji is still a good person. Although he gave up martial arts and became a scholar, he has a bright future. I will promote him as appropriate." Him. I have an important thing for you to do now. As long as you do it well, I will resume your position as general."
Yu Wenshu saluted excitedly: "I am willing to die for the saint!"
"Okay! I now appoint you as the Grand Protector of the Dongyi Protectorate, leading an army of 10,000 to defend Goguryeo. In addition, I allow you to recruit 20,000 elite soldiers from the Xi tribe and Sumo Mohe." After a pause, Yang Guang said again : "During this period, you must try your best to destroy the people's livelihood in Liaodong and destroy the army and people of Goguryeo. But you cannot be exposed. Even if you are exposed, you cannot promise to be the Sui army."
"Old minister, I obey!" Yu Wenshu thought for a while and asked cautiously: "The saint wants me to imitate General Mai Tiezhang?"
Yang Guang nodded and said: "That's right!"
"Old minister, I understand!" Yu Wenshu said solemnly: "It's not too late. If the saint has no other instructions, please allow me to retire."
"Yes!" Yang Guang nodded, and then said to Yu Wenshu: "Go back and tell Yu Wenhua that I have something ready for him to do. As long as he changes his past and does his best, I will never treat him badly. "
"The Sword Comes"
Yang Guang has decided to let Xiao Yu and Yang Gongren be the sharp knives to attack the powerful. However, these two people are too upright and are no match for the rich and powerful in terms of playing dirty tricks. But Yu Wenhuaji is different. Although he doesn't have much ability, he has a lot of cliques and friends, and he is the best at doing bad things. If Xiao and Yang have his help, they will get twice the result with half the effort.
He can be regarded as making the best use of his talents.
"Here!" Yu Wenshu was even more delighted, bowed again, and left the Hall of Renshou.
Yang Guang watched Yu Wenshu leave, sat back at the table again, and wrote the words "Xiaoguo Army" on the white paper.
After pondering for a long time, he began to write down the organization of the Emperor's own army, the Xiaoguo Army, as well as various requirements.
