: The King of Qi

"Don't go to the court for one hour, the heads of the three provinces and six ministries, Yuwen Shu, Pei Shiju, Pei Yun, Yu Shiji and other ministers went to the Shunhua Pavilion to discuss matters." Yang Guang glanced at the ministers in the hall and said lightly.

The inner supervisor of the palace sang and shouted, "Your Majesty has an order to stay for an hour. The heads of the three provinces and six ministries, Yu Wen Shu, Pei Shiju, Pei Yun, Yu Shiji and other ministers went to the Shunhua Pavilion to discuss matters in the back hall!"

The ministers walked out of the hall one after another. When the cold air blew in winter, they were cautious in the hall for a long time, and their tired body and mind became much more refreshed. The emperor stopped at this time, and obviously wanted to discuss the results with the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries, as well as the emperor's close ministers, and then they would come down to announce the situation. Everyone shook their heads and had no intention of caring about these matters.

Shunhua Pavilion is a loft close to the Tianyuan Hall of Gaoyang Palace. At this time, the emperor and several ministers in Gaoyang who held the highest power of the Sui Dynasty were urgently discussed here. The meeting included five ministers, including Fan Zigai, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, as well as the general Yuwen Shu, as well as four close ministers, including the Censor Pei Yun, the Minister of the Yellow Gate Pei Shiju, and the Minister of the Inner History Yu Shiji.

The Sui Dynasty had three provinces and six ministries, including the Secretary of State, the Minister of State, and the Minister of State. The Chief of the Three Provincial Departments was the prime minister, but the Chief of the Secretary of State was generally not given to anyone, so the left and right Pushe below was the highest. The Minister of State was Na Yan, and the Inner History Provincial Department was the Minister of State. The Secretary of State was the Minister of State and the Inner History Provincial Department was the Prime Minister. The Minister of State and the Inner History Secretary were the Prime Ministers, and the Inner History Secretary was the Prime Minister. Among them, the Left and Right Pushe was the real prime minister, Na Yan, and the Inner History Secretary was the fake prime minister. However, after Yang Guang became the emperor, he rarely appointed vacant official positions. There were four chief officials in the three provinces, and now only the fake prime minister Na Yan Su Wei, and the others were all vacant.

Originally, there was no prime minister at the highest level of political affairs meeting, which was a great wonder of the Sui Dynasty court.

Yang Guang suddenly interrupted the court meeting and called several important officials of the court to have a meeting. Everyone understood it almost. What they just discussed was the Liaodong matter, so now we must still discuss the Liaodong matter.

After coughing, Yang Guangdao said, "I asked you to discuss matters. I plan to come up with a suitable plan for the Liaodong matter first and then announce it in the court. Some things, as long as the ministers know, there is no need to let everyone discuss them together. There is only one thing to discuss. Liaodong has already taken it down. What will the court do next? You are all important officials in the court, let's talk about it."

The head of the Neishi Provincial Department was vacant, and the Minister of the Neishi Provincial Department Yu Shiji is now the highest commander of the Neishi Provincial Department. Apart from his name, he was also half the prime minister. When he heard Yang Guang's words, he hurriedly said, "Since Liaodong has been pacified, then naturally, the tribes in western Liaoning can not be allowed to get the advantage. I believe that the court should change counties and counties in Liaodong and imitate the Han Dynasty, establish counties and condemn officials, just like your Majesty pacified Tuyuhun, and completely transform Liaodong into the territory of our Great Sui."

As soon as Yu Shiji's words fell, Yang Guang finally smiled. Not long after he ascended the throne, he personally led his troops and destroyed a huge Tuyuhun country and changed it to the four counties of Qiemo in Hexi. This incident has always been a martial art that made him very proud. When he heard Yu Shiji talk about Tuyuhun, Yang Guang smiled and said, "Yu Aiqing's words are reasonable. The Eastern Expedition has consumed the huge civilian power of the Great Sui Dynasty. Naturally, others can no longer let others get a bargain. During the Han Dynasty, four counties including Lelang were established. Now we pacify Goguryeo and establish counties. But the most important thing at the moment is the issue of Liaodong soldiers and horses? What Yuwen Aiqing said before is some truths, so you can tell me in detail."

Yuwen Shu understood the emperor's meaning, but he was still worried that Chen Kefu would stay in Liaodong alone with heavy troops. After all, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. Who would know if Chen Kefu would have any thoughts after holding heavy troops for a long time? They could not rely on Chen Kefu's loyalty all, but could not give him this opportunity.

"Your Majesty, although the land of Liaodong has been pacified, it has just been decided that there must be troops to shock the western Liao tribes. However, it is winter now, and the bandits in various parts of the Central Plains have not yet subsided, so the Central Plains cannot transfer troops to Liao for the time being. The best way now is to change the Liaodong soldiers into government soldiers. There are more than 100,000 soldiers and soldiers of the seven armies. At the beginning, because the situation was urgent, these soldiers were temporarily recruited. However, now Liaodong is pacified, and the Liaodong camp should be disbanded and cannot be retained forever."

Of course, Yang Guang also wanted to disband the Liaodong army, but he thought that the situation in Liaodong still had to rely on these army and suddenly dismantling the army in the general's hands was not appropriate. No matter what, it is inappropriate to have a soldier holding too many army and the court has no way to check and balance it. The power is too concentrated, especially military power, which is a dangerous signal.

Pei Yun sneered a few times, "I'm afraid Chen Kefu won't cooperate like this. Now he holds 100,000 elite soldiers in Liaodong, and he decides with one word in Liaodong. If His Majesty disbands his military power, will Lord Yuwen not be afraid of him rebelling?" No one knows what Chen Kefu is thinking. Whether he will rebel is just a worry for everyone, just in case. But Pei Yun said it directly, in fact, he was deliberately framed Chen Kefu, making the emperor suspicious of Chen Kefu and no longer use him.

"Don't worry about this, we can take it slowly. First of all, we can set up counties and counties in Liaodong and send officials. Liaodong is large and according to the opinions of ministers, we can set up seven counties. In this way, we will implement the system of government troops and change all the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of Chen Kefu's subordinates into government troops. 120,000 soldiers and horses are all changed into government troops. The seven army troops are all divided into seven counties. More than 100,000 people can be divided into one hundred Yingyang Mansions. The court can place all these hundred Yingyang Mansions into Zuotun Guards. In this way, Chen Kefu should have no reason to oppose the court's arrangements."

"In this way, although these soldiers were still under the command of Chen Kefu, the general of Zuotun Guard, the army was dismissed after the war, and the rest of them were returned to the fields. At that time, except for a small number of people on duty, the rest would go home to farm. Moreover, once the camp was disbanded, according to the system of the government troops, any troops who mobilized more than ten people must be approved by the Ministry of War to issue a transfer order. Moreover, Chen Kefu and other generals in the army must return to the court according to the regulations."

Yang Guang nodded, "This is a solution. In this way, all the Liaodong soldiers and generals have been included in the Wei Mansion. Everything has a system, so it is normal. It seems that Chen Kefu still understands the idea of ​​the court. He wrote a letter to change the soldiers and horses into government soldiers, which can still show loyalty."

"However, Liaodong is just a preliminary decision now, and there are still Liaodong tribes around them staring at them. At this time, it is probably inappropriate to disarm all the troops and horses and return to the fields." Yang Guang's heart was also full of contradictions.

He felt a little worried when he left Chen Kefu in Liaodong, and was worried that Chen Kefu would take the opportunity to gain his own troops. However, he really dismantled all the soldiers and horses in Liaodong and returned to the fields. He began to worry about Liaodong coming again. Liaodong spent so much effort and fought three times in a row before he took Liaodong with the desperate efforts of Chen Kefu, a powerful general. Now that the troops are dispersed, what if the other tribes in western Liaoning come to make a decision again?

It is winter now, and the Central Plains and Liaodong are basically blocked and cannot move troops. If Chen Kefu is transferred back to the court, who can withstand the war? I am really worried and I don’t need to.

"What do you think of letting Chen Kefu continue to stay in Liaodong?"

Everyone was stunned, not understanding why the emperor suddenly hesitated again. This was a good time to recall Chen Kefu. If you continue to stay there, you may become older.

"Your Majesty, if the Liaodong camp is disbanded and Chen Pojun becomes the general of Zuotun Guard, then he will definitely return to the capital."

“可以再给个其它职务,陈克复这个有勇有谋,有他在辽东,朕放心.”考虑了许久之后,杨广想来想去,这个时候还是不能调陈克复回京.陈克复回来容易,到时如果辽东局势不稳,再想派过去,可就不是一时半会能到的了.相比起自己的大业,杨广还是有些信任陈克复的.

Moreover, Yang Guang was just a temporary solution. In his opinion, as long as this winter passes, the army will be able to enter Liaodong next year. In this half year, Chen Kefu will not be able to cause any waves.

"Your Majesty, I believe that now that Liaodong is finally settled, if Your Majesty can condemn a prince to take charge of Liaodong, then Liaodong will be stable!" Yu Shiji said.

When Yu Shiji's words fell, all the ministers were surprised. The royal family of the Sui Dynasty has always been few. Emperor Wen had a jealous Empress Dugu, and Yang Jian was one of the few emperors in history who was afraid of the inner emperor. Although there were many concubines in name, he didn't even dare to touch him. If one of them was touched, Empress Dugu would kill one. So Yang Jian gave birth to five sons, all of whom were born to Empress Dugu.

As a result, there were only five princes, and in the end, the eldest prince Yang Yong was killed by Yang Guang because of the throne. The third prince Yang Jun also died of illness. The fourth prince Shu king Yang Xiu was still imprisoned, while the fifth prince Han king Yang Liang rebelled and was killed by Yang Guang. Yang Guang became the emperor, with many concubines, but also few children, only three sons. The Yuande prince Yang Zhao was very outstanding, but he died early. The youngest son had just been named King Zhao but only five years old, and the only one was left was the fifth prince Qi, who was beautiful and had a slight eye. He was loved by his father Guang since he was a child. After the prince died, Yang Guang had the intention to make him the crown prince. As a result, for some reason, he offended Yang Guang and was still locked up in the palace.

Yang Guang was also stunned by Yu Shiji's words. He had only one son who could suit what Yu Shiji said, but this son was now locked up in the palace by him. This son was so arrogant that he liked when he was a child, but when he grew up, he became a licentious prince who was willing and arrogant, close to villains, and had many illegal acts. Now that he was mentioned by Yu Shiji, Yang Guang remembered such a dissatisfied son.
