Jiangdu Palace!

Emperor Yang Guang dismissed all the palace servants and received Yang Yichen, who was tired from work and had white hair and beard.

Looking at the old Yang Yichen, Yang Guang also felt a little sad.

He knew that Yang Yichen, who looked like he was seventy years old, was actually only forty-seven years old! One year younger than him.

However, the answer to why Yang Yichen was in such a mess is obvious - it was the Hebei Dao bandits who caused the clan general to overdraft.

"Wei Chen pays homage to His Majesty!" Yang Yichen bowed respectfully!

"My dear, please get up!" Yang Guang personally helped Yang Yichen up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Yichen was a little flattered.

Yang Guang asked Yang Yichen to sit aside and asked impatiently: "Is Hebei Road really flat?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is an unparalleled military prodigy in the royal family. He is a genius. Every move he makes, he deeply understands the art of war. With more practice, he will definitely become a commander-in-chief! I congratulate you, Your Majesty, on having both a talented person and a great grandson."

On the way south, Yang Yichen heard various rumors about Yang Dong's persecution of the nobles. He was worried that Yang Guang would punish Yang Dong and cause Hebei Province to fall into chaos again, so he did not hesitate to praise Yang Dong.

Yang Guang laughed loudly.

"I have learned about what you have done in the north from the good news about you and Dong'er. You have done a good job, and I am very happy! You were able to defeat Hebei in one battle, disintegrate Dou Jiande's gang of clowns, and save the people from the fire.

, the experience must be wonderful... tell me how Dong'er fought..."

After Yang Yichen sat down, he told the battle of Wude Mountain in detail. He neither exaggerated nor used the Spring and Autumn style of writing...

"Two hundred and thirty thousand rebels who are not weaker than the Xiaoguo Army?"

Yang Guang's face was very ugly.

"Hebei Province has been in chaos for seven or eight years. Countless bandits have changed. The bandits who have fought for the rest of their lives are all fierce and ferocious desperadoes! Their combat power is very strong! In terms of number, if you add small groups of bandits, there will only be more

Quite a few!”

"The two hundred and thirty thousand desperadoes are all Dou Jiande's soldiers?" Yang Guang asked through gritted teeth.

"That's not true!" Yang Yichen said matter-of-factly: "Dou Jiande's soldiers only account for about one-third, and the rest are multiple rogue forces! Dou Jiande called them together in order to defeat His Highness!"

When Yang Guang heard this, his face recovered. Pei Ju, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji told him that there were no big bandits, they were just small groups of insignificant rebels, and all the places were trying their best to suppress them! If Dou Jiande had soldiers

More than 200,000, then the three of them are deceiving the emperor! But hearing what Yang Yichen said, I felt relieved.

"After Wei Chen defeated Gao Shida and Zhang Jin became famous in Hebei Province, these bandits have been avoiding fighting! I was in the west, but they ran east! If they had not underestimated His Highness, they would never have been able to defeat him in one fight.

Determined." Having said this, Yang Yichen had a headache and a look of joy!

Yang Guang nodded! He was also a man who knew how to fight. Naturally, he knew that loitering without attacking was the most troublesome. He then asked: "Some people say that Dong'er killed more than one thousand and six hundred officials in Hebei Province."

, what’s going on?”

"Actually, there are not that many!" Yang Yichen said: "Your Highness actually killed only more than 500 officials, and the other more than 1,000 people were all bandits in official uniforms."

Yang Guang asked curiously: "What's the purpose of this?"

"The reason why there are more and more rebels in Hebei Province as the peace approaches! Local officials are responsible for 70% of the responsibility. It was their exorbitant taxation that made the people hungry and cold. The people could not survive, so they killed the officials and rebelled! The reason why Your Highness joined more than a thousand rebels,

The purpose is to let the people know the determination of the court officials and restore their confidence in the court! Upright officials have long died at the hands of the bandits. Most of those who are alive have interests in dealing with the bandits! They not only bow to the court, but also pay tribute to the bandits.

The bandits professed their vassalship... His Highness was so angry that he captured them all and killed them."

"These damn guys! They deserve to be killed ten thousand times! Dong'er killed well!" Yang Guang suddenly stood up and loudly praised Yang Dong for his courageous killing.

"Is this the origin of the rumor that 'King Qin persecuted the nobles'?"

"This is just a superficial appearance. The fundamental reason is that the Fanyang Lu family, the Boling Cui family, the Zhaojun Li family, the Qinghe Cui family, and the Bohai Gao family are greedy and shameless!"

Yang Yichen lied for Yang Tongyuan: "These aristocratic families have left Hebei Road long ago, their houses have long been turned into a white field, and the fields have become overgrown wasteland, and the official household registration, real estate, and title deeds have long been destroyed.

In the middle of the war! Now that Hebei Road has finally been calmed down, these aristocratic families immediately took the real estate and land deeds to ask for real estate and fertile land. No one knows whether the so-called evidence in their hands is true or false... Of course, His Highness does not admit it.

So the rumors started!”

Yang Guang suddenly realized it and snorted coldly: "These nobles are the most shameless. It's me, and I won't give it to you!"

Yang Yichen took the opportunity to say: "His Royal Highness is very disgusted with the Guanlong dignitaries and Dongguan gentry. He said that these people have instilled the concept of family as the greatest priority since they were young. They put the interests of the family first in everything, and the affairs of the country and the world are far away from them."

Far inferior to family interests, for the sake of family interests, they will not hesitate to betray the country and the nation!"

"Then what?" Yang Guang couldn't sit still. Yang Tong talked about the root cause of the crisis in the Sui Dynasty!

"Then His Highness appoints reserve officials who all come from poor families!"

"ah?"

Yang Guang was also stunned by Yang Dong's generosity, and murmured to himself: "No wonder there are so many memorials to impeach Dong'er, and the requests for punishment are so severe! It turns out that he has touched the fundamental interests of the family!"

Yang Yichen smiled and said, "Weichen was also very shocked at first, but later he figured it out. His Highness wanted to start from Hebei Province and solve the root cause of the Sui Dynasty's unrest step by step."

"You mean the nobles?"

Yang Yichen nodded, "In fact, it is not only the Guandong nobles, but also the Guanlong nobles. For hundreds of thousands of years, the nobles have monopolized knowledge and power. Nine out of ten officials come from aristocratic families. These people form a

A large number of interest groups with huge influence then asked the courts and emperors of all dynasties for money and power. If the court did not give it, or could not give it, they would try their best to overthrow the dynasty."

"His Highness said that the imperial examination system alone was not enough. It could not completely break the rule of aristocratic families monopolizing officialdom! Because the price of studying was too expensive, the common people could not afford to study. If the study problem of poor families was not solved, it was the aristocratic families who finally made the imperial examination system complete.

Disciple!"

"Insightful and absolutely correct!"

Yang Guang nodded heavily, and Yang Yichen's words touched his heart, because in every imperial examination, the children who got good results were the children of aristocratic families! This is because their family background is superior and they can study without any distractions, while the children from poor families can study without any distractions.

You can afford to study, but you also have to work hard for a living. This comparison shows the gap in performance.

"His Highness believes that only by giving opportunities to poor children can the monopoly of the gentry be finally broken. His goal is that every child in Hebei Province has the opportunity to study. After one generation, the advantages of the gentry will disappear."

"How did Dong'er do it?"

"Open a volunteer school!"

"Yi Xue?"

"In the name of the country, two schools will be established in each county under our control! Room and board will be free of charge!"

The more Yang Guang listened, the more surprised he became. Finally, he laughed and said: "Okay, what a volunteer! This is definitely a good way to eradicate the root cause! Compared with children from aristocratic families, children from poor families know how to cherish opportunities and be grateful. After all this time,

Children from poor families who have no worries will naturally outperform children from aristocratic families."

At this time, Yang Yichen presented Yang Tong's memorial!

The memorial first contained an impassioned and heart-wrenching rebuke of the family members, and then attached the content of the new policies such as land reform, the tax system of "dividing one person into an acre", free education, etc., and listed the benefits one by one!

Yang Guang was even more moved. If 'Yi Xue' is a sharp blade hidden in the dark, then this 'Standing between people and entering the mother' is a shining steel knife that stabs the family members. As long as 'sharing between people and entering the mother' is mature.

, and applied it to the whole country, it is not far from the day when the Sui Dynasty will get rid of the dependence of the powerful families.

However, Yang Tong also emphasized in the memorial that whether the new system is suitable and applicable needs to be verified with real results. Since there are no big families in Hebei Province, its use will not be hindered. If it is successful, it will be repeated

Promoted nationwide.

Yang Guang looked greatly moved!

He also understands the power of the aristocratic families better than anyone else. The capital city of Luoyang is to avoid Guanzhong, which is firmly controlled by the Guanlong nobles. However, so far, little effect has been achieved. If the system of "sharing a small family into an equal share" is to be forcibly promoted across the country,

, the Sui Dynasty was immediately wiped out, so Yang Tong's plan to gradually encroach on the world based on Hebei Road won his praise.

At the end of the memorial, Yang Tong expressed his ambitions with a song "Lime Song".

"Thousands of hammers have carved out the deep mountains, and the fire has burned them as if nothing happened. I am not afraid of my bones being shattered and my body being shattered. I want to leave my innocence in the world."

Yang Guang recited it several times, and felt the momentum was magnanimous, sonorous and powerful. Yang Tong's determination to advance in Wanren Mountain vividly appeared on the page.

In the past few days, many memorials either explicitly or implicitly said that Yang Tong had the intention to rebel. Although he didn't believe it, he was inevitably shaken by what others said. But now, he didn't believe that Yang Tong would rebel at all!

Because Yang Tong took a path that was hostile to the aristocratic families, and 90% of the officials in the Sui Dynasty came from aristocratic families, even if Yang Tong rebelled, no one would support him.

The three systems of free education, sharing the land into acres, and land reform, plus a lime chant, showed Yang Tong's ambition to be the Sui Dynasty version of Shang Yang!

How did Shang Yang die? The main reason was that he harmed the interests of the Qin Dynasty clan and the old forces of the Qin Dynasty.

In order to quell the anger of the clan and the old forces, King Qin Hui had to kill Shang Yang. But afterwards, Shang Yang's rules were still implemented, which made the weak Qin country become the first of the seven kingdoms and finally unified the world.

As for Yang Tong, he obviously guessed that his outcome would be the same as that of Shang Yang, but he still firmly embarked on a path of death. All he wanted was for the Sui Dynasty and the Yang family to continue smoothly.

After thinking about it, Yang Guang's suspicion disappeared, and what was left was only infinite heartache, love and trust!

"You are worthy of being my great grandson, Yang Guang, who dares to be the first in the world! Not only will I not punish you, I will reward you heavily. If you dare to say that the King of Qin has any anti-will, I will kill the whole family!"

"Issuing an edict: Jin Hebei Dao Xingtai Shangshu Ling, the champion general, Qin Wang Yang Tong is the Taiwei, the first-level champion general, Jizhou Mu, the distant leader of the left and right generals! Feng Zhan Lu Sword, the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword is the emperor's second sword
