Chapter 537

On August 10, the 19th year of Kaihuang, an emperor's edict was issued, and Li Mi, a popular man beside the emperor, personally went to the Duke of Qi's mansion to announce the imperial edict.

The Grand Tutor, Shangshu Ling, Duke Gao Jiang of Qi added 300 households to the fief and gave him ten jars of imperial wine.

"I, thank you for your kindness."

In the main hall of the Duke of Qi's mansion, Gao Yang, wearing a purple robe and goldfish bag, knelt down to thank the sage. Li Mi handed over the imperial edict to Gao Yang and bowed to congratulations, "Congratulations to the old teacher, the holy family is grand."

Gao Yang praised the imperial edict and personally offered it to the hall. Then he turned around and came back to the famous celebrity Li Mi who was only his grandson and said, "Your Majesty is very grateful. I have to worry about the time when the Dharma Lord returns to repay his life." While saying that, Gao Yang said, "The Duke of Pushan County is now deeply trusted by Your Majesty and is busy with affairs. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to have two drinks with Pushan County. Today, I will take this opportunity to ask Pushan County to enjoy the glory."

Li Mi replied with a smile on her face, "I feel very honored to be able to drink with the Grand Master. But," he looked embarrassed, "but he still has official duties, and I will not hide it from the old Grand Master. I will have to go to Yang Taifu's Mansion in a while. I am really embarrassed. Next time, when the Grand Master has time, I will be the host himself and ask the Grand Master to enjoy the glory at that time?"

Although Li Mi smiled, Gao Jin could feel the perfunctoryness in this smile. Gao Jin was unhappy and his face was a little stiff. Finally, he laughed: "Since it is inconvenient, I can only regret it. Next time, when the next time, we have a chance, we must have two drinks. We will not leave Pu Shan Gong again today and will not delay your errands." As he said, he asked again in a casual tone. "Du Shan Gong will go to the Taoist palace later. Do you want to announce the reward?"

"Yes. Your Majesty admires the Grand Master very much. Isn't this? I added three hundred fiefs of the Grand Master, and also gave ten jars of imperial wine from Huaihuang Xingong to the Grand Master. The same goes for the Grand Master Yang. I added three hundred fiefs of the Grand Master, and gave ten jars of imperial wine from the New Tribute."

After saying a few more words, Li Mi said goodbye, and Gao Bing personally delivered it to the gate.

"Close the door!" After Li Mi's carriage had already walked away, Gao Yang's face immediately became cold, and there was no longer a smile. He raised his hands on his back, frowned and walked back step by step, his face as frosty as the cold air was impatient.

Gao Yang's second son Gao Hongde followed behind and spat at the long street, "Bah, what's the matter? He really gave him some color. He even opened a dyeing shop. I really don't know how much he has." He trotted and caught up with his father. "The adults kept him drinking and saw him, but he actually picked it up. It's really hateful."

"Shut your mouth and beware of the misfortune coming from your mouth." Gao Yang turned his head and glared at his son.

The emperor was rewarded by the emperor, but Gao Yang was not happy at all. It is not that he no longer cared about the fiefs of the 300 households and the ten jars of imperial wine. Although the reward was small, it was still solemn. Gao Yang now felt that the rabbit died and the fox was sad. Just yesterday, the emperor mobilized the Northern Ya Imperial Guards and confiscated the Changsun, Dou and Wei tribes in a very high profile. The three tribes' palaces in the capital were all seized. All the property slaves were confiscated, and the estates and real estate shops outside the capital were also seized. Officials had already gone to seize and confiscated. More than 100 male men from the Changsun and Dou tribes were arrested and imprisoned. The Changsun clan was better, so they stayed.

With the preservation of Changsun Sheng, Changsun Sheng still maintained his official rank. The Dou clan of the Taifu Mansion of Duke Chen, even if the Taichang Prince came forward, was still useless. The entire Dou family collapsed. The most miserable ones were the Wei family, Wei Xiaokuan and Xiaoshikang, two huge families. The three top clans of the Sui Dynasty have now been destroyed. The son-in-law of the Supreme Emperor Wei Yuanzhao openly resisted the order and tried to attack the angels with a bow. He was directly attacked by the Yulin Army guards of the Northern Yamen. All the adult males of Wei were killed on the spot, and even some of the older 14 or 15-year-old middle-aged men died, leaving only those children, women and children.

The three great gates were destroyed in one day.

At noon today, more than 300 men who were convicted of committing corruption were taken up by the Changsun family, Dou family and Wei family, under the witness of countless people in Xijing City, and their heads were taken one by one.

At that time, Gao Yang was on the stage and was the decree of the prison.

Seeing the executioner holding the ghost-headed sword, he cut off more than 300 Changsun, Dous and Wei men one by one, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield. Facing the fierce fight, Gao Yang, who had never blinked, couldn't help but feel confused and frightened. This destruction of the three clans actually happened under the leadership of him and Yang Su. It was him and Yang Su who made a decision to ask the emperor to kill the three clans.

Now, the three wealthy families that were once extremely glorious have been destroyed. All the outstanding ones in the family have been beheaded, and the remaining children have been seized and removed from their titles. They have no chance to become an official, and even their property cannot be saved. Apart from a cloth robe, only after moving to the frontier can they obtain a hundred acres of wasteland to be reclaimed.

He and Yang Su personally brought the three tribes of Dou, Wei and Changsun to the guillotine, and now the emperor issued an order to reward them, add a fief and give them imperial wine.

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad.

This time it’s Dou, Wei, and Changsun. Which family will be next time?

He has been in power for nearly twenty years and the Gao family in Bohai has been in a precarious position, but what will the end be like? Judging from Li Mi's attitude towards him today, I believe that he will never have any good comments in the emperor's heart.

"I have done such a big thing for the emperor. After getting rid of Dou Wei and Changsun's family, the emperor also rewarded mere 300 fiefs and ten jars of imperial wine. This is really a bit stingy."

"Pa." Before he finished speaking, his father Gao Feng turned around and a big slap had already hit his face. A scorching pain came from half of his face, and he was immediately confused.

"Sad son, idiot, no one treats you as a mute if he doesn't speak. Go back to his yard. From today on, without my consent, you are not allowed to leave the house for a second step. You are not allowed to read the books of sages at home. You are not allowed to spend money and do whatever you want with those noble children. Do you hear it?" Gao Yang shouted angrily. As soon as he got angry, his son Gao Hongde, who was the most powerful official in the dynasty, was silent. Gao Yang shook his head, turned away in disappointment, and went straight into the study. He locked himself in so that people could not disturb him.

Although he was over 60 years old, Gao Yang still had a very keen sense of smell. The emperor's thundering methods against the three families of Dou Wei and Changsun shocked the court and the people. At the same time, the emperor only dealt with these three families, which also made the high sects in the capital, which had always been a little trembling, and also breathed a sigh of relief. The fellow Taoist who died of the dead, although the three tribes were destroyed, it really made people sigh, but as long as it was not involved. Now the emperor stopped and did not intend to expand the liquidation, that was a great good thing. But Gao Yang was not like these people, but was just so naive.

Since the emperor can cleanse these three tribes today, he will definitely find another opportunity to clear out other wealthy families. After all, the emperor did not have a grudge against any family, but the Guanlong nobles who had accumulated several dynasties were too strong, so strong that the emperor was afraid of and could not sleep. Once he had the chance, the emperor would definitely have to take a heavy hand to clean it. Unless the Guanlong group was cleaned to a point where the emperor could control, this kind of cleanup would definitely not end. The key now is, who will become the next unlucky person?

The emperor's reward not only did not make Gao Yang feel out of danger, but he felt that his situation was very dangerous now. Since the emperor felt that the Guanlong nobles were very powerful, he would take ruthless measures whenever he had the chance. Then, he, who had been the prime minister for nearly twenty years, has become the Grand Tutor and has become the Shangshu Ling, which no one has ever been in this dynasty. Isn't it also a big threat to the emperor?

Suddenly, Gao Feng felt that he was old and lacked the courage to give up and fight back.

Especially today, he personally sentenced hundreds of people from the three tribes of Dou Wei and Changsun. Seeing the three powerful families disappearing in the blink of an eye, Gao Yang really wanted to retreat.

Maybe it was time for him to retreat bravely. The emperor has not dealt with him yet, but he certainly cannot tolerate himself occupying the position of Prime Minister in the court.

It is really difficult to make such a decision. But this time is different from last year. Last year, he wanted to fight again and fight again, but now, how to fight, how to fight? Gao Yang is really confused. Although the new emperor is young, he is terrible. Especially, the new emperor is not only good at using his skills and knows how to weigh the pros and cons, but the most important thing is that he can also play hard at any time. With those of the direct civil and military officials and soldiers of Huaihuang who were completely established by him, when the emperor was impatient to play with the means, he could dominate the way he could do anything. Who could play with him? Faced with the danger of almost genocide, who could play again.

Raise the paper, spread it out, and grind the ink.

Gao Yan picked up his pen and wrote a letter to beg for bones. In the comments, he said bluntly that he was old and had many illnesses. Therefore, he specifically asked the emperor to approve his retirement so that an old bone could be buried in his hometown.

As he wrote, Gao Yang became more and more smoothly, and his mind became clearer. He figured it out. If others wanted to stay and play with the new emperor, then let them go. Anyway, he didn't want to play with the new emperor anymore. He couldn't play anymore. If he could not play with the new emperor, he really felt the meaning of this word. Wei Yuanzhao was the son-in-law of the Supreme Emperor, but the Yulin Army still dared to shoot him directly without saying a word, and did not even ask for instructions on his superiors or the emperor. The eldest princess of the Dou family was so noble, but he could not protect the Duke of Chen and Dou's mansion. Why did the guards in the northern yamen dare to do this? Because they had the emperor's order.

I am now asking for retirement, which is probably the result of the new emperor's desire. For my tactfulness, I believe that the new emperor will definitely express some rewards at that time. I don't ask for more glory, but only seek to be able to retire successfully, stay away from the increasingly severe storm, protect the Gao family, and let myself have a good end, and I am already content.

Gao Yang had even thought about it. After being approved to retire, his family immediately moved back to his hometown in Puzhou and avoided all this far away.

Gao Feng’s memorial for begging for bones was sent to the palace that day, and Yi Feng was also very surprised after browsing it.

The memorial was written very touching, but Yi Feng couldn't figure out whether Gao Yang wanted to retreat as a step forward or really wanted to retreat, because of the three families today, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad to retreat. However, no matter what, Yi Feng was still very happy about the emergence of this memorial. Once the emperor was a minister, especially the prime minister, and the prime minister, Yi Feng needed to use his own people. Moreover, Gao Yang also held a position like the Shangshu Ling, and Gao Yang's ability

It is very strong, but for security reasons, it is a very stupid way to let a prime minister rule for twenty consecutive years. Besides, Yi Feng has his own governance philosophy. Gao Feng and Emperor Yang Jian cooperated with Emperor and his ministers very well, but they may not be able to cooperate well with Yi Feng. Especially Yi Feng now wants to readjust the three provinces. Change the Shangshu Province as the only one and take over the power. The two provinces of the subordinates and the inner history can only become dispensable.

No matter what, Gao Yang cannot continue to stay in the center. The difference is whether Gao Yang was driven out by Yi Feng in the end, or he automatically withdrew. If it was the former, it might be ugly in the end, but if Gao Yang cleverly chose the latter, it might be a good situation for everyone.

However, although Yi Feng wanted to give Gao Yang out of the court immediately, he still had to make a good gesture and did not approve Gao Yang's retirement request. Not only was it possible, he had to write a large number of words of praise and retention, and at the same time he had to draft an edict. The edict summarized the achievements of Gao Yang over the years in power, and finally said that the new emperor and the new court could not live without him, and asked Shaofu Temple to reward a large number of treasures more than Gao Yang.

The edict was delivered to Gaoyang Mansion that night. Another famous emperor, Wei Zheng, came to announce the edict in person.

At this time, the people in the Gao Mansion knew that the Grand Master had actually submitted a letter to retire, and were all very surprised. After Wei Zheng left, Gao Dehong, the second son of Gao Bing, even said to his father excitedly, "It is really wonderful to retreat to advance. When a letter to beg for bones was put on, the emperor immediately issued an order to commend and comfort him, and also gave him so many treasures."

Gao Yang was really disappointed with this son, and he said nothing. He returned to the study. The moment he received the edict, he felt a little shaken again. But soon, he woke up. The faster the emperor's edict came, the more he said he would like to leave earlier. Well, let's continue to submit his letter.

The emperor had to accept the Zen three words. When he retired, the emperor also had to accept the three edicts and refused to agree to it. This was another glory of the emperor to the prime minister. Before the parting, the scene between the king and the minister was also for the people of the world to see.

On August 15th, the first great sun after the emperor ascended the throne.

At the meeting of the dynasty, Yi Feng officially enthroned Li Liyi as the empress, and the enthronement ceremony was grand and complicated. Afterwards, Yi Feng issued an edict to enthrone concubines. Among them, the four imperial concubines of the empress were enthroned by the empress, Shufei, Defei, and Xianfei, all of whom were second-rank. Yi Feng appointed Gao Qianxue as the imperial concubine, Murong Qianwei as the imperial concubine, and Yuan Jiyao as the imperial concubine. Finally, Chen Wu came to the top, surpassing Xiao Sumei and others, and was enthroned as the imperial concubine. Xiao Sumei was enthroned by Zhaoyi, Yuwen Yubo as the imperial concubine, Man Yue was enthroned by Zhaoyuan, Zhang Chuchen was enthroned by Xiuyi, Qinglian as Xiurong, Mulan as Xiuyuan, and all six were third-rank Jieyu. In addition, there were also beautiful people, talented people, Baolin, Yunu, Cainu and other ninety-nine people in the harem of the emperor, and there were still three people in Jieyu, but they were all vacant for the time being.

After the enthronement ceremony, Gao Yang submitted a memorial in the court, requesting to retire and return to his hometown for retirement. This was the first time that the officials of the court knew that Gao Yang was going to retire and were very surprised. Yang Su couldn't help but turn his head to see Gao Yang, but couldn't see what Gao Yang, who had a calm expression, thought. However, Yang Su didn't expect that, the emperor refused Gao Yang's request in court. This was something Yang Su expected, but after hearing the emperor's rejection, Yang Su felt very disappointed.

After the court meeting, Yi Feng asked the Royal Seal Palace to hold a banquet, and gave him a banquet to all officials, as well as the foreign wives who came to the palace to pay homage to the queen today.

After the banquet ended, all the officials and the wife dispersed, Yi Feng returned to the Lizheng Hall. Tonight he belonged to the queen, and he should accompany the newly enthroned queen.

The Lizheng Hall was newly arranged again. The various rare objects presented by Taifu Temple and Shaofu Temple were dazzling, and various exquisite and gorgeous objects were decorated with the Lizheng Hall, demonstrating the honor and grace that the queen should have everywhere.

"Do you like it?" Yi Feng pointed at the gorgeous and precious things in the hall and asked Su Jun with a smile.

"There is nothing you don't like when your Majesty gives me." Li Liyi was particularly beautiful today, just as amazing as she was on the wedding night. She bowed to Yi Feng and said bluntly, "It's just that since the founding of Taizu, my dynasty has always advocated frugality. Frugality is a virtue. It turns out that when the Empress Dowager lived here, there were no rare things in the palace, they were all very simple. I remember that I had heard that in the early years of Kaihuang, the court and the Chaos.

In the Jue-trade, some Turkic merchants sold a basket of pearls worth 8 million yuan. Someone advised the Empress Dowager to buy it. But the Empress Dowager said at that time that this was not what I needed. Now the Hu people on the border repeatedly invaded the border and disturbed the border. The soldiers guarded the border worked hard. It would be better to give the 8 million yuan to the meritorious soldiers who guarded the border for the country. The Empress Dowager was frugal all his life and should follow it for his concubines. His Majesty's wishes have been received. Please allow me to resell these precious things."

"Resell? No need to do this." Yi Feng comforted his forehead.

"I think so, just like the charity fundraising that Your Majesty had done before when he was in the desert. I took out all the treasures that Your Majesty gave him, held a charity fundraising auction in the capital, and invited the wealthy and wealthy merchants from the capital to attend the auction. At that time, the money obtained from each auctioned lot will be used to purchase Futian and establish a Tzu Chi House. The land rent of Futian is used to take in widows, widows, orphans, or disabled people who are not relied on, and provide food, clothing and residences. I plan to build a Tzu Chi House in the capital, and then build it in all parts of the world in the future, so that all the elderly who have no support can have a place to support the elderly."

Yi Feng didn't expect that Li Liyi had such a big plan, and this matter was indeed very positive. These things should have belonged to the government's functions, but there is no such social welfare at present. The queen is willing to do this, so he still supports it very much. "This plan is excellent. I will support the queen. Maybe wait for the queen to summarize some experience first. The court may be able to withdraw funds and incorporate the Tzu Chi project into the work of the court, and regard it as a formal implementation of benevolent government."
