Luoyang.
Since ancient times, Luoyang has been the capital of many dynasties.
Eight dynasties including Xia, Shang, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei, and Sui successively chose this place as their capital.
The reason is Luoyang's geographical location.
Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, with Mang Mountain in the north, Luoshui in the south, Huhulao in the east, and Yinghan Valley in the west. It is surrounded by mountains, and the Luoyang Plain is in the middle, with the four rivers of Yi, Luo, Zhang, and Jian flowing through it. It is a dangerous place with beautiful scenery, fertile soil, moderate climate and convenient water transportation.
It can be said that it is the place that determines the world. It is located in the Central Plains and responds to all directions. Luoyang is the world's transportation hub and military fortress.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, named his country "Sui" and his capital was Daxing City.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he chose another capital location in Luoyang and established a new capital.
The new imperial city is located between the Zhou Dynasty and the ancient cities of the Han and Wei dynasties. It crosses the Xianshui River in the east, the Luohe River in the south, the Jianhe River in the west, and the Mang Mountain in the north. It is more than fifty miles in circumference and is magnificent.
Yang Guang also dug out a Grand Canal with Luoyang as the center, reaching Hangzhou in the south and Zhuojun in the north, running from north to south, connecting the five major water systems of the Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River. Luoyang became the transportation and trade center of the world. Central hub.
It can be said that Luoyang at this time is a battleground that must be fought for in the world.
Imperial City.
A few days ago,
Wang Ming, the people from the Dugu clan, and the ministers who were still loyal to Yang Guang on the dragon boat, took the boat to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
early morning.
Wang Ming put on the cumbersome imperial crown clothes with the help of the eunuch and maid.
Then,
Go to Guandeok Hall.
Have a court meeting.
Wang Ming has been back to Luoyang for many days, and this is the first time he has gone to court.
If I don't go to court again, it would be unjustifiable.
Arriving at Guande Hall,
Wang Ming sat directly on the golden dragon chair and looked down at the cultural relic officials below.
but,
The number of officials below was obviously less than a hundred, and they were sparse.
at this time,
One person stood up from the queue and started to play.
This man is a short and thin old man in his fifties, but his eyes are deep and bright, and his temples are bulging high, which makes people know that he is not an ordinary person.
Wang Ming found this person's information from Yang Guang's memory.
This person is Dugu Sheng, the second master of the Dugu Clan.
Dugu Sheng stood up from the queue and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have just received local intelligence that Yu Wenhuaji and his Yuwen clan have rebelled in Jiangdu recently, threatening that Your Majesty has an unfair position, killed his father and brother, and is unworthy of morality. He established Yang Hao, the son of King Yang Jun of Qin, as emperor and proclaimed himself prime minister."
After saying this, Dugu Sheng glanced at Wang Ming, who was sitting on the throne in front of him with some uneasiness, trying to figure out Emperor Yang Guang's attitude after hearing the news.
In the past, Dugu Sheng would not truthfully report these military reports. He would basically reduce the seriousness of the matter or directly conceal the report.
After Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty failed in his three expeditions to Goguryeo, he became completely dissolute and indulged in women all day long. He also became very forgetful and had an extremely irritable temperament. When he heard bad news, the person who reported it would be easily unlucky. of.
But last night Dugu Ba and Dugu Feng talked about what they saw in Siming Mountain, and they knew that the emperor was not stupid and was not really confused by wine and sex.
I was shocked at that time, after all, I had deceived Shengting for more than a day or two.
However, he was not too afraid of receiving severe punishment.
This time the Dugu Clan had made great achievements in Siming Mountain, and he believed that Yang Guang would not delve too deeply into his faults.
Another reason that kept him calm was that Yang Guang's biological mother, Dugu Jialuo, was also from their Yuwen clan and was considered a relative of Yang Guang.
So Dugu Sheng reported the military report honestly.
But.
It was inevitable that Dugu Sheng would be a little flustered and uneasy. Although the members of the Dugu family would not really be severely punished by Emperor Yang Guang, they would still be displeased by the emperor.
He raised his head to observe Emperor Yang Guang's reaction, but unfortunately Dugu Sheng didn't see anything.
Unlike Yang Guang, Wang Ming likes to wear the Tongtian Crown. Wang Ming likes to wear the Pingtian Crown.
The twelve rows of jade beads in front of the Pingtian crown make it impossible to see Wang Ming's expression unless they look at each other for a long time. But does anyone dare to look at each other for a long time?
Dugu Sheng waited for a while, but did not get angry.
Rather,
Wang Ming said calmly without any fireworks: "Is there anything else?"
Dugu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and was very surprised: "Strange! Why didn't His Majesty get angry about such a big thing? Has he really changed his character?"
In fact, Dugu Sheng had a selfish intention to report this matter, which was to annex the Yuwen Clan's power and industry around Luoyang.
When it comes to political strength among the Four Valve clans, they are definitely number one, because their family is very close to the emperor.
But compared to the military strength and wealth accumulation, their Dugu clan is their younger brother. It was also because the Dugu Clan was too close to the emperor, so it was not easy to recruit more soldiers and horses.
Dugu Sheng did not remain stunned for long, and immediately answered us: "There is also news that Duke Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty has also launched an army to rebel against Guanzhong in Taiyuan, Shanxi."
As soon as the news came out, all the cultural relics in the court were shocked and began to whisper among themselves.
Some of these officials knew in advance, and some only found out that the two powerful men rebelled at the same time. Needless to say, you can imagine the shock.
But,
Wang Ming was not surprised at all. Isn't it normal for these two rebellions?
One is Yu Wenji, who killed the original Yang Guang, and the other is Li Yuan, the cousin who replaced the original Yang Guang.
correct!
There is also Li Shimin, who was originally named Yang Guang's wife.
It's so normal for them to rebel.
Wang Ming continued to ask in a calm tone: "Is there anything more? Let's say it once and for all?"
Dugu Sheng was already sweating on the top of his head at this time. The character of Yang Guang in his memory was very easy to get angry. If he was not angry, it meant that Yang Guang was extremely angry. If he laughed the next moment, someone would be killed immediately.
Dugu Sheng endured the uneasiness in his heart and continued to report: "The anti-thief Wagang Army Great Demon King Cheng Yaojin abdicated and gave way to the former Left Guards Palace Governor Donggong Qianniu Preparation Li Mi."
Wang Ming recalled it in his heart and suddenly remembered it.
Li Mi was the guy on the boat who said that there were only 50,000 troops in front of Siming Mountain.
Wang Ming asked: "Li Mi? Ignore the clown. Has Song Que, the powerful leader of the Song Dynasty, rebelled?"
Li Mi is a character, but he is destined to be a clown in this world.
With Li Shimin here and the protagonist Kou Zhong here, he still wants to overturn the world?
At this moment, Dugu Sheng complained in his heart: "You are really big-hearted! It's not satisfying to hear that there are three big forces that are against you, and you still want to get them together."
Dugu Sheng replied with a very respectful look on his face: "Your Majesty, there is currently no news about the Song clan's rebellion."
. . . . .
at this time,
Another official stood up. This man was handsome and handsome, in his thirties or sixties. Wang Ming found information about him in Yang Guang's memory. He was the chamberlain Yu Shiji, one of Yang Guang's favored ministers.
Yu Shiji said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, do you want to transfer the patron king to quell the rebellion?"
After hearing this news, Wang Ming was also surprised that these guys seemed to be forming a team to rebel! In one breath, two of the four gate valves were reversed.
In fact, this is also related to Wang Ming.
Yu Wenhuaji saw Wang Ming killing everyone, and his words and deeds did not look like he was drunk and drunk. He was afraid that Yang Guang was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger to trick them, so he rebelled directly.
The reason why Li Yuan, the Li clan, rebelled had a lot to do with Li Yuan's filial son Li Shimin.
Li Yuan saw that Wang Ming was surrounded and killed by the three great masters and that he was bound to die, so he ran away with his two sons.
But he didn't expect Wang Ming to be dead, so he became a little flustered again.
Li Shimin was angry at this time and told Li Yuan that the Dongming Sect's account books were lost and someone was going to hand them over to Yang Guang.
As a result, Li Yuan refused to do anything but rebelled.
That's right, the person who stole the ledger is Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, the two protagonists of this world and the two most powerful troublemakers.
They wanted to steal the account to report Yu Wenhua and rebellion here to Yang Guang, and use the knife to kill people to avenge Jun Ma, their mother-in-law.
pity,
Halfway through, I learned that Yu Wenhuaji had rebelled, so these two guys didn't come to Wang Ming's eyes.
Wang Ming said calmly: "No need."
Dugu Sheng and Yu Shiji were a little surprised as to why the emperor was so good-tempered.
After a moment of silence,
Wang Ming said slowly: "We have decreed to abandon all states and counties outside Luoyang and let those officials bring food and military supplies to garrison around Luoyang. These rebels like to fight, so let them fight enough by themselves. !”
Dugu Sheng and Yu Shiji were shocked when they heard this, not just the two of them, but everyone in the court was also very surprised.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart whether Yang Guang had given up treatment completely.
If you evacuate the troops and horses, you will give those places to them for nothing!
How could Wang Ming not know that he was giving up his country to people like Li Shimin?
But we have to withdraw!
Can't hold it.
In fact, the mess Yang Guang left behind is not too bad.
Strictly speaking, the power of the Sui Dynasty is still the largest force in the world.
But Yang Guang's soldiers and horses were too scattered and spread out too widely.
Being too spread out made Yang Guang the weakest among the forces in the world today.
Such things as Du Fuwei and Zhu Can could bite off a piece of meat from the Sui Dynasty.
So Wang Ming simply abandoned those places and asked them all to come to Luoyang.
The soldiers and horses gathered together became stronger, so that others would no longer regard the government as a piece of fat.
The most important thing is food!
The Sui Dynasty accumulated so much food that even long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, their granaries still had food left by the Sui Dynasty.
There are so many rebels in the world who are also responsible for this granary.
When a famine occurs, local officials cannot open warehouses to provide disaster relief. Doesn't this force them to rebel?
As long as you kill local officials, you can rebel.
They don't need to know how to manage government affairs, they can create a force, and they can last for a long time by eating the stocks of the granary.
Without this granary and talented people proficient in government affairs, civil strife and collapse would automatically occur soon.
So Wang Ming asked these people to bring food to Luoyang, which was simply draining the firepower.
. . . . . .
Wang Ming suddenly issued another order, which surprised these people.
"I will go into seclusion for cultivation. During this period, my grandson will supervise the country. He can make decisions on all government affairs. There is no need to come to me."
moment,
As if a bomb had been dropped in the crowd, these people were shocked.
Some people were shocked when they heard this. Why should they shut up at this critical moment? It's simply not doing the job properly.
Wang Ming didn't seem to pay attention to them and went directly to court.
This grandson's name is Yang You, also known as Renfu. He is the grandson of Yang Guang, the third emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and the third son of Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande. His mother is Concubine Wei.
He was smart since he was a child and had extraordinary magnanimity. He was first named King of Chen and then King of Dai.
When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty personally conquered Goguryeo, he stayed in Chang'an. (This person should probably be in Chang'an, but don't think he is in Luoyang!)
This Yang You's government affairs ability is not low, and Wang Ming can trust him.
Royal hegemony!
The world is under heaven!
Wang Ming actually didn't care about any of these.
Wang Ming is a wanderer who can travel through the heavens, so these are meaningless.
There is no way to take it to the next world.
So what if we unify the world?
The next world won't be of any help either.
For a paradise in the world, it is not a beautiful paradise. On the contrary, it is actually a purgatory that eats people without spitting out their bones.
The special thing is that these worlds are not real historical worlds, but film and television worlds.
The world of film and television is actually very dangerous.
There will be heroes in the film and television world.
Once the hero draws his sword, another ten years of calamity will befall the common people.
Where there are heroes, there will be unrest.
Ordinary people would die if they got involved.
Wang Ming learned this lesson. In the first world, "The First World in the World", he was involved in the battle between the emperor Zhu Wuwu, the emperor Zhu Houzhao, and Dongchang Cao Zhengchun, and immediately evaporated.
For Wang Ming, a wanderer in the heavens, becoming stronger is a real benefit.
When you become stronger, you can live a better life in the next world, and you can be more calm when facing danger.
and,
Wang Ming often wonders, why is his luck so bad?
Every world is so scary, and if you don't handle it well, it will turn into a nightmare.
If Wang Ming hadn't fought hard in "The Best World" and acquired several powerful martial arts, it might not have been easy for him to survive the attack by the underworld masters in "The Swordsman".
In Wang Ming's view, when it's time to use tool people, you should use tool people.
Moreover, Wang Ming's strength has not yet recovered.
Originally, I attracted a lot of people in Siming Mountain, and my strength has almost returned to the level of "Tianlong World".
As a result, Martial Lord Bi Xuan appeared, and he had no choice but to use [Hero Domination of the World] and [Abi Dao Three Swords], and then sacrificed his whole body's true energy in order to avoid the influence of the evil energy.
Later, although he absorbed some infuriating energy, he was still only at the master level.
Then use the [Method of Feathering and Ascension] to sacrifice not only the true energy, but also the vitality of the physical body.
If you don't quickly return to the practice of [Bahuang Liuhe Self-respecting Skill], I'm afraid this physical body will not live for a few years.
so,
This is really not because Wang Ming wants to be lazy, but because he really doesn't have the extra energy to take care of these things.
To equalize the turmoil in this world is not something that can happen overnight.
