Fang Xie would never have thought that he was unknowingly involved in a bloody storm swept through the Sui Dynasty, both inside and outside, although he was only a small figure on the edge of the storm. Of course, even the emperor of the great Sui Dynasty, who controlled the storm, did not care about Fang Xie, an insignificant border soldier.
The storm launched by the emperor in advance for his great cause of opening up the territory is to raise his prestige to the highest, let the courtiers pick up all their due awe of the emperor, and let the courtiers know that when the emperor decides something, no one can stop it. Since they can't stop it, they as ministers can only do their best to help the emperor do it well.
Therefore, the death given by the Minister of the Ministry of war is only the beginning, and the beginning of the emperor's power.
If the Emperor didn't do it first, once he announced his decision to use troops in the northwest, there would be many supporters, but there is no doubt that there would be many people in the court who dared to stand up against it. It would be an extremely long process to listen to those adults arguing back and forth in the court at that time, The emperor was not in the mood or interested, nor did he have time to see the process of their gradual transformation from theory to mutual slander and abuse.
Several people were killed, especially those who were killed. In this way, the courtiers will shut their mouths.
Having not killed an official for several years, the Emperor may feel that his majesty is gradually decreasing. Once the war begins, what he needs is a great Sui who works together, and what he needs is a great Sui who takes him as the center and everyone makes continuous efforts for the war.
After huaiqiugong got off Yu Donglai's carriage, Yu Donglai suddenly knew what to do. It was at this time that he realized what his majesty asked him to reflect on the real meaning of the day at home. If Huai Qiugong hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't understand what the emperor asked him to reflect on. I just thought that his majesty really just asked him to reflect behind closed doors.
The introspection is the list of people who should lose their heads.
This list can't be too heavy or too light, so he really needs to think it over. And that is, at the moment when he got off the carriage, he also understood that although this matter did some damage to him, the benefits must far exceed the damage. So after seeing off huaiqiu Gong, Yu Donglai's mouth was full of smiles.
Your majesty wants to operate on the military department. He will draw up the list.
Those who want to die are those who disagree with the emperor's idea of the western expedition. Yu Donglai, as the Minister of the Ministry of war... No, he is now the Minister of the Ministry of war. Naturally, he must firmly stand on the side of the emperor. Therefore, the people who supplement the Ministry of the army at that time must also be those who support his Majesty's western expedition. In the vacant position, he can arrange his own people.
Hou Junci and he have always been seemingly in harmony. Your majesty didn't want any Ministry officials to be too United before, so he was happy to see him and Hou Junci intrigue. A minister and a Chamberlain. The more powerful the fight, the happier your majesty is. But now it's different. Your majesty wants a military headquarters that must be united, and even the whole court that must be united. Taking this opportunity, he can firmly grasp the military headquarters in his own hands, so he gets more than what he has lost.
When Yu Dong came back to his house, he asked people to close all the doors of the house, and no guests, no matter who. The light in Yu Donglai's study was on all night until "Second, kill those who are in charge of military affairs but are not in line with your majesty. In this way, the people of the military department must be cautious and try their best, lest they do something wrong. Once the war starts, logistics supply is the top priority, and the scheduling of the military department is the key. At this time, your Majesty's cleaning up the military department is absolutely beneficial to the war No harm. "
"Third, since your majesty wants to fight in the northwest, he must use Li Yuanshan's right Marquis guard... With Li Yuanshan's ability and the 50000 elite soldiers of the right Marquis guard, I'm afraid that after the war, his military achievements will be superimposed on him one by one. In order to show the Tianwei and boost morale of the Sui Dynasty, your Majesty's reward for meritorious soldiers will not be humble... But Li Yuanshan is already a Duke of the state, The top general of zhengsanpin town will be rewarded again... What else can he be rewarded for? Will he be crowned king again? Jin is a top general of the second grade Town army? "
Luo Weiran shook his head: "according to the last words of the emperor Taizu, there must not be any king with a different surname in the Sui Dynasty. Even if it is a royal family, it is not allowed to be crowned king except the emperor's brothers and descendants. Even if Li Yuanshan relies on his 50000 right Hou guards to level Meng Yuan and capture brother Meng Khan alive, don't expect to be crowned king."
Hou Wenji said with a smile, "therefore, your Majesty must press Li Yuanshan before starting the war. Press down all his officials and nobles. In this way, once the war starts, Li Yuanshan will make great achievements. Your majesty only needs to restore his official position and reward him with some land gold and silver... This is the beauty of your Majesty's chess. The more you think about it, the more wonderful it is."
He sighed, "three birds with one stone... Wonderful!"
Luo Weiran shook his head and said, "where is one stone and three birds... If this stone goes down, I don't know how many birds to kill."
He broke his fingers and said: "In addition to the three things you said, many people and things were calculated by your Majesty's move. For example, your majesty wants to be powerful and make everyone dare not show any disrespect to the imperial power before the war starts. In this way, your majesty will not obstruct the command of the western expedition. For example, double the salary for the border army, whether it is implemented or not, the news will be very clear Once released, the officers and men of the frontier army will certainly be grateful to your majesty. Once a war starts, who doesn't fight the enemy bravely? "
"Another example..."
Luo Weiran looked at Hou Wenji and said word by word: "beating you, the caretaker of Qingya Town, your majesty may also want to tell you... Qingya is your Majesty's Qingya from beginning to end. It's for you to take care of... Not to reward you and become yours."
Hou Wen nodded his head, took up the cool tea, took a sip and said softly, "should I divide some more power? Seven years ago, I took Mr. Zhuo out of the prison and brought him into the love Yamen. He has been here for seven years, and your majesty has no doubt about me... But now it seems that I should divide some more."
Luo Weiran shook his head: "Fen? If you really dare to put it forward now, your majesty will scold you as an idiot immediately! At this time, your Majesty's beating you is not doubting you, but precisely because your majesty still trusts you... Otherwise, you think your majesty just punishes you with three years' salary? Even the first-class senior officials of the imperial court dare not wait for you to comfort you. But your majesty only needs one word to kill you."
Hou Wenji not only did not panic, but smiled and said, "I know."
Luo Weiran said, "I know I'm still loading."
Hou Wenji said with a smile, "if I don't confirm it from your mouth, I'm not sure. I think so, and you think so... Nine times out of ten, your majesty thinks so."
Luo Wei Ran stared at him and scolded, "old fox!"
Hou Wenji stood up, tidied up his clothes and prepared to leave: "I'm not an old fox... Even if I am, I'm a very energetic fox in the prime of life."
Luo Wei Ran smiled and scolded, "roll your eggs. You've always been a coquettish person."
While the two big men were chatting, the little man Fang Xie finally entered Gyeonggi province after a three-month trip. Although we still have to go for a while, even if we enter Gyeonggi Dao, we are close to the heart of the great Sui Dynasty. Fang Xie, riding on the red horse, looked ahead and narrowed his eyes slightly. He listened attentively. The big dog didn't understand what he was listening to.
Fang Xie smiled and said, "try to hear Da Sui's heartbeat."
