Chapter 919 Unexpected reward [2 more]
Taoist sect has always been low-key, but what does this mean? This style of conduct seems to be a bit different from the past. . The fastest update
If anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Sui Dynasty was about to collapse. As the saying goes, Qin lost its power and defeated it, all forces were already ready to fight for Yang Guang's death, and then they could openly throw their arms around the world.
At this time, Taoist sect was so high-profile, and what purpose was there in it? It was something that made people think deeply.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyu, the general of Zhenbei who has been silent for a long time and has even been forgotten by many people, has once again entered everyone's sight.
Yang Guang was above and saw the reactions of the crowd, with a sneer on his lips. Yang Guang was too lazy to guess the thoughts of these ministers. Anyway, few of these people were loyal to him.
Even if he maliciously guessed, Yang Guang dared to say that at least half of the court officials present were waiting for the news of his collapse.
With a light cough, Yang Guang said, "Everyone, I believe everyone has seen this good news from General Zhenbei."
An old minister who was loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty immediately spoke when he heard this: "Report to Your Majesty, General Zhenbei repelled the Mongolian Yuan, guarded the border, and protected our country's territory. This is a great contribution. I would like to ask Your Majesty to reward General Zhenbei with great rewards."
Yang Guang felt relieved when he heard this, but someone immediately jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Xiaoyu, as the general of Zhenbei, guarding Shanhaiguan is his duty. Now, although he has defended Shanhaiguan and repelled the Mongolian Yuan offensive, he is just a dedication to his duties, so why should he be rewarded with great rewards?"
Seeing this, Yang Guang suddenly narrowed his eyes. The minister Yang Guang naturally knew his background. The other party was a member of the Guanlong Group and represented the interests of the Guanlong Group. Now he is in power and fire with the Guanlong Group, but he has not broken up. Therefore, this minister who represents the interests of the Guanlong Group is still prosperous in this small court.
With years of experience as an official and a keen sense of smell, the minister immediately realized that Yang Guang seemed to want to do something about this general of Zhenbei.
If it is just a simple general in Zhenbei, they will naturally not be taken seriously by the ministers in the court.
The name of General Zhenbei in the local area may be quite good, but in this court, almost 90% of the officials present can beat Fang Xiaoyu.
However, although Fang Xiaoyu is just a mere general of Zhenbei, and the generals of the Zhu Kingdom, the key is that Fang Xiaoyu has the support of the Taoist forces behind it.
Even fools could see that Fang Xiaoyu could defeat the Mongol Yuan, especially the two great masters, Meng Chixing and Pang Ban, were defeated. If there was no support from the Taoist sect, who would believe it?
What is the plan for the Taoist sect to support Fang Xiaoyu so much? Although they still don’t understand what they are doing, since Yang Guang wants to make a fuss about Fang Xiaoyu, then naturally some people disagree.
As the official spoke, many officials who represented the interests of all forces were soon taken out one after another, almost unanimously opposed Yang Guang's reward of Fang Xiaoyu.
No matter what, although everyone represents the interests of all parties in the court, they have spared no effort to suppress the representative of Taoist sect. Anyway, the purpose is to not let Fang Xiaoyu come out to cause any storm. It is best to stay honestly in Shanhaiguan and guard the border gate for everyone.
Apart from a few old ministers who were loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty, it can be said that 70% or 80% of the court officials all opposed the other party to reward Fang Xiaoyu, and only glared at the old ministers with anger, but they had no choice but to treat those colleagues who were loyal to the public and loyal to the country but had different thoughts.
Yang Guang wanted to order all these hateful ministers to be pulled down and chopped down, but Yang Guang knew that he couldn't do that. If he really wanted to do that, the Sui world would be over by then.
However, Yang Guang is not the kind of emperor who can listen to advice. As an emperor of his generation, he could do even the canal and the three storms of Goguryeo. How could he be suppressed by these ministers?
Yang Guang could only hear a cold snorting: "General Fang Xiaoyu of Zhenbei guarded Shanhaiguan and made contributions to repel the Mongolian Yuan. He moved General Fang Xiaoyu of Zhenbei to be the general manager of Youzhou and the governor of Youzhou military affairs."
Jun Wu is not joking, especially in this court. No matter what, Yang Guang is still the common ruler of the world and naturally occupies the title of righteousness. Even if the aristocratic families slander Yang Guang, there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, Yang Guang is the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty after all.
No matter how stupid and indifferent an emperor is, what he says is a golden word. If he does not obey it, he will be a traitor.
A number of aristocratic families can disobey Yang Guang's orders, but they cannot foolishly disobey Yang Guang's orders on the surface.
Seeing that Yang Guang wanted to grant Fang Xiaoyu the general manager of Youzhou, someone suddenly became anxious. Several officials from several aristocratic families who had taken root in Youzhou immediately stepped down and opposed it.
But Yang Guang had made up his mind and said extremely simply: "I have made up my mind and I will pass on my decree to Yu Si!"
As he said that, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and Yang Guang said gloomyly: "What, do you say I don't even have this little power?"
When he showed his emperor's aura, Yang Guang was still a qualified emperor. Under the pressure of the emperor, those ministers would never dare to say anything again.
Although in their eyes, Yang Guang was just a desperate emperor who was struggling, they still did not dare to jump out and argue with Yang Guang before Yang Guang collapsed.
If you really do that, then Yang Guang will probably not have many people who will plead for them.
Looking at the reactions of the court officials below who were obviously unwilling but had to bow their heads, Yang Guang couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. He stood up, laughed loudly, and waved his hand and said, "Get out of the court."
Yang Guang's purpose is obviously to cause trouble for these aristocratic families. To be precise, he also pulled the Taoist forces represented by Fang Xiaoyu into the water.
Although Yang Guang had already done that before, after all, because of Fang Xiaoyu, the Taoist sect did not intervene deeply.
Besides, Fang Xiaoyu is just a general in Zhenbei. Even if he wants to intervene, it seems that he is not qualified. However, as soon as Yang Guang opened his words, he directly appointed Fang Xiaoyu as the general manager of Youzhou, especially the general manager who is in charge of military and political management.
From a general guarding the pass to a central commander in charge of the military and political affairs of a state, Fang Xiaoyu can be said to have risen to the top.
This is a state chief executive. There are indeed many prefectures and counties in the world, and even the chief executives have been enfeoffed many. However, the so-called chief executives are either only responsible for government affairs or military affairs, and there is almost no military or political simultaneous arrest.
Once a state's military and political affairs fall into one person, then this person will almost become a local emperor. As long as the emperor is not a fool, he will not easily hand over such great power to one person.
But Yang Guang did this. With Yang Guang's great talent and strategy, can't we still see the disadvantages of the title of Fang Xiaoyu as the general manager of the state and the general manager of the military and political affairs?
Yang Guang naturally knew it clearly, but he did it on purpose.
Of course, the general manager of Yizhou is not that easy to do. If it were when Yang Guang ruled the world and ordered everyone to disobey, Fang Xiaoyu could naturally take office easily, but now Yang Guang's orders cannot even be released from the Jiangdu land, so it is naturally impossible to shock the world.
Therefore, Yang Guang's imperial decree was just to hand over the title of great righteousness to Fang Xiaoyu. As for whether Fang Xiaoyu can be firmly in charge of Youzhou, it depends on Fang Xiaoyu's own fortune.
If Fang Xiaoyu is capable, he can naturally be the Youzhou General Manager awarded by Yang Guang to be in charge of military and political affairs. However, if Fang Xiaoyu is not capable, he might even lose his life if he can't even enter the Youzhou General Manager.
At least one thing is that those who have taken root in Youzhou and regard Youzhou as their own territory will definitely not be able to see Fang Xiaoyu take charge of Youzhou.
You should know that if Fang Xiaoyu was in charge of Youzhou, then the first thing they were to be the ones who were in charge of the attack. Therefore, these forces would never let Fang Xiaoyu take charge of Youzhou smoothly for their own interests.
The court, specifically, should be that Yang Guang's decree was quickly passed on. Although Yang Guang's decree could not be delivered to the Jiangdu land, it was not that Yang Guang's decree could not be delivered to the place, but that after the decree was delivered to the place, no one would implement his decree.
At least Yang Guang's orders can still be spread throughout the world, it depends on whether everyone is ordered.
The decree for the enfeoffment of Fang Xiaoyu was sent to Shanhaiguan in just a few days.
When Fang Xiaoyu learned the news, he was in the army and the Zhenbei Army expanded again, and the world was about to be in chaos. Fang Xiaoyu naturally seized the time to strengthen the Zhenbei Army's strength.
The recruitment of 50,000 troops can be said that Fang Xiaoyu's actions have been a bit beyond the reach of this. Even though Yang Guang did not limit the scale of the Zhenbei Army, you, the general of Zhenbei, have recruited as many as 50,000 troops at once. Isn't this too much to take the imperial court seriously?
You should know that even if it is a general named by the court, the General of the Zhu Kingdom only commands 10,000 or 20,000 troops. Now Fang Xiaoyu has created an army of 50,000 at once, and I wonder how many people are upset by it.
But Fang Xiaoyu ignored this. Yang Guang's orders were useless. Fang Xiaoyu dared to say that the generals in the world must be expanding their military strength at this moment, but everyone is not as big as his step.
After receiving the imperial edict, Fang Xiaoyu learned that he had been named the chief steward of Youzhou, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he was in charge of military and political power.
"Yang Guang, Yang Guang, it seems that you have really failed. Your will is clearly a bit of aura."
Fang Xiaoyu has never been an emperor. Yang Guang is like him, who is the kind of emperor who is the only one who is the only one. Normally, such an emperor would never issue such an imperial edict, but Yang Guang did that.
Just through this imperial edict, Fang Xiaoyu was able to determine Yang Guang's situation.
After seeing off the eunuch who was sent away, Kaiyangzi, Liu Ji, Zhu Yuanzhang and others who received the news came, looked at the imperial edict that was thrown by Fang Xiaoyu on the table, and everyone's eyes were filled with excitement.
Fang Xiaoyu was named the general manager of Youzhou and held military and political power, which means that those who followed Fang Xiaoyu had hope to rise.
Kaiyangzi said to Fang Xiaoyu with a happy expression: "Congratulations to General, oh, no, it should be congratulations to the General Manager."
Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Ji and others also congratulated Fang Xiaoyu.
