Yang Tong ascended the throne!

This news swept across like a tide. Although this was expected, the world was still shocked by it. To rule the country as the prince of Qin and to sit on the throne as the emperor were completely different things. The influence of the Sui Dynasty on the world was completely different. King Qin

On behalf of Yang Dong, he was equal to the southern princes. Even if Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, and Xiao Xian were proclaimed emperor, the people would not say that their status was higher than that of King Qin, because as long as the Sui Dynasty still existed, they would always be the rebels of the Sui Dynasty; Yang

After Dong ascended the throne, the status of these people was even more incomparable. If the Sui Dynasty was weak, no one would care. But at this time, the Sui Dynasty had unified the north and became the number one power in the world. This also made the people of the world feel great.

The Sui Dynasty came back, but after years of subtle influence and the artificial spread of various policies that benefit the people, the word "violent Sui" has long been erased from the people of all forces. The only thought of the people is to hate each other.

They longed for the New Deal and even suspected that it was not true. Hundreds of years had passed like this, making the people feel that it was a matter of course to be exploited by the wealthy families. Because of this, while yearning for the policies of the Sui Dynasty,

Also doubtful.

Yang Tong himself could not see, hear or feel the opinions, thoughts and opinions of the people. Even if he heard them, he would not take them into account. He only wanted to use the method of ascending the throne to completely stabilize the north and consolidate Jizhou, Youzhou and Youzhou.

Zhou, Bingzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and Liaodong were re-branded as the Great Sui Dynasty, allowing the people in the north to officially become the subjects of the Great Sui Dynasty, and allowing the civil and military generals to strive for the prosperity of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Yang Tong's naming of the year as 'Shengwu' is also telling the world that although the country's name is still the Great Sui Dynasty, the reality is very different from the old Sui Dynasty. The current Great Sui Dynasty was defeated by Yang Tong with one sword and one shot.

The country was not inherited from Emperor Wen Yang Jian and Emperor Wu Yang Guang. He obtained the country by force and relied on the divine benevolence to govern the northern land. It had nothing to do with the two emperors civil and military, thus establishing his personal foundation.

of supreme prestige.

The princes from all over the world didn't say a word to Yang Dong's ascension to the throne. They seemed to be dismissive and secretly panicked. However, no matter what they thought or what interpretation they had, they could only keep their thoughts in their hearts, because at this time,

Yang Tong, not Yang Tan, who proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang, was weak and could be bullied:

First, Yang Tong not only had the imperial edict written in blood by Emperor Wu Yang Guang, but also a jade seal passed down to the country. From a legal point of view, he was the third generation of the Sui Dynasty, which was the intention of his predecessor, and it was justified;

Second, the princes in the world are united vertically and horizontally, and the Sui Dynasty has no fear of them at all given its current background. What's more, how can the princes from all walks of life unite together for the internal affairs of the Sui Dynasty? They are currently thinking about strengthening

With its own strength, after unifying the south, it could compete with the Sui Dynasty, thereby realizing the dream of dividing the north and unifying the world.

Dou Jiande, Xiao Xian, Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, Li Zitong, and Lin Shihong all secretly sent envoys to send heavy gifts. Although they did not say they were ministers, their words showed their willingness to live in peace.

In particular, Cen Wenwen, Xiao Mian's envoy, had the idea of ​​forming an alliance. Although Xiao Mian was weak, he was not a fool. Li Yuan, Li Mi, and Wang Shichong were all heroes. They had no hope of going north, so they had no choice but to go south and west. What happened in Jingzhou

The multinational war on the ground shows that everyone is planning to kill him and let the Xiliang Kingdom out first. Although his Xiliang Kingdom is very rich, the generals have their own agendas and the army is not strong enough to fight against them.

A vicious tiger and a jackal, for the sake of his foundation, he was even willing to remove his country's title, respect the Sui Dynasty and stand on his own.

Yang Tong is very busy now and does not have time to receive or reply for the time being, but he also asked Pei Renji, the Minister of Rites, to comfort him.

As for Wang Shichong and Li Mi, the two heroes of the Central Plains, not only did the gifts heaviest, but the standards of the envoys were also high. They were led by Wang Qianshou, King Cai of Zheng State, and Nayan Bing Yuanzhen of Wei State.

However, Yang Tong also did not conduct an interview. As far as the Sui Dynasty was concerned, these princes were all rebels and their status was completely unequal. If he were the first to receive these people, he would be reducing his status to the same level as the rebels.

This may seem a little contrived, but it is true, because Yang Tong is not a self-made man, nor did he rely on rebellion to get where he is today. He is an orthodox man with a rising reputation, and the other princes are all grass-head kings.

Five days after ascending the throne!

Yang Tong finally calmed down and gradually adapted to the role of emperor. Just as Xiao Wu said, even if he became emperor, the changes in the palace would not be big.

My self-identification was changed to "I", everything else seemed to be as usual, and Yang Tong didn't pay attention to some minor changes.

If you think about it carefully, it's actually just a change in role.

Different life stages lead to different roles in life. In front of his parents, he is a child, in front of his lover, he is a partner, and in front of his children, he is a parent. In front of his subjects, Yang Tong's role also changed step by step, from a puppet-like King of Yue to a

The King of Qin changed from the King of Qin to the current Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

now.

Officials from various places had left one after another, and Yecheng gradually returned to normal. Envoys from various countries were fed and fed in the post house, but Yang Tong still had no time to receive them.

Chaoyang Hall.

Yang Tong was discussing matters with the important ministers. He saw Yang Gongren's serious face with a smile on his face when he came, and said speechlessly: "Taobao, it's been three days, and you are still laughing. I almost suspected that you fainted with joy.

"

"Haha! Your Majesty has ascended the throne, and everything is justified. Who wouldn't be happy?" Fang Xuanling on the side said happily.

Now that there is an emperor in the Sui Dynasty, various departments have officially become the administrative system of the imperial court, and the level has risen from a 'small' power to the level of the country. In other words, Yang Tong's ascension to the throne is not his personal matter, but has a bearing on the stability of the entire regime.

.

In the past, Yang Tong used the title of King of Qin to exercise the power of the emperor. He himself had no feelings about it, but the perceptions of his courtiers were different. Although there were three provinces, nine ministries, and eight temples, there was always a sense of dishonesty and theft of official positions, and he always felt low.

There are many people, so both the royal family and the government and the public hope that Yang Tong will officially ascend the throne and end this embarrassing abnormal state.

With Yang Tong's ascension to the throne, this embarrassing situation no longer exists, everything has become formal, officials and soldiers have goals and motivation to fight, and the spirit they show is far beyond what it was before.

This change in spirit—

Yang Tong can feel it.

Only now did Yang Tong understand the value of "justice" in ancient times.

"I am the emperor, what must I do next?" Yang Tong asked with a smile.

Chaoyang Hall is not the outer Chaotian Hall, nor is it the inner Chaotian Hall after Chaotian Hall. It is just a side hall where Yang Tong and his ministers discussed matters. There is no need to pay so much attention to etiquette when talking between monarchs and ministers.

"Generally speaking, after the emperor ascends the throne, he will grant amnesty to the world and release some criminals to show his kindness. However, our government has canceled this step. Should other methods be used instead?" Pei Renji, the Minister of Rites, has also entered the role. After hearing Yang Tong

If you ask, he will explain the process after ascending to the throne in a skilled manner.

"Exempt from next year's land tax. This benefits only the common people, not the criminals. It is much more beneficial than amnesty."

"Will full exemption affect the court's income?" Pei Renji asked worriedly.

"We rent a lot of government land to the people for farming. This is not the people's land. What should be harvested must be harvested! Although it is not too much, it can be used for one season no matter how you calculate it. As for the shortfall, we can allocate it from the national treasury.

! This year, there has been a severe drought all over the country, and people’s lives are very difficult. We cannot put the burden on the people, and we will lay off many troops and our expenditure will be less than before."

With the current situation, it is possible to feed the people of a country for five years with free food and water. The reason for complaining in front of all the military generals that day was because Yang Tong and these people staged a cruel trick in order to successfully implement the disarmament policy.

What's more, there is still a huge amount of money locked up in the Chang'an Sky Prison. If the blackmail can be successful, there will be enough left over to support the Sui people for a year. Yang Tong even wants to give Li Yuan a banner with the words "Send Wealth Boy" on it.

words.

Seeing that everyone was laughing and saying nothing, Pei Renji stopped worrying about this issue and said instead: "Your Majesty, Li Yuan, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Xiao Xian, Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, Li Zitong, Lin Shihong and others should also be declared as

Rebel."

Speaking of this, Yang Tong's head really hurts.

When he was not the emperor, he could be conciliatory and turn a blind eye to Li Yuan, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande, acquiescing to the fact that they were self-reliant, and then using commercial means to plunder their wealth with bad money.

Step by step, they erode the vitality of each political power, and sit back and watch them fight while quietly making a fortune.

But it is definitely not possible now. On behalf of orthodoxy, I must not only strongly condemn these princes, but also define them all as big rebels in sharp words. What are the consequences of doing so?

1. Buying the bottom in business, sitting back and watching success or failure, the means will come to nothing. If you continue to interact with these people, you will be breaking your promise to the military and the people.

The second consequence is that these princes are very likely to join forces because of this: if the Great Sui Dynasty is still the Great Sui Dynasty with only two states, the southern princes will not feel the threat of the Great Sui Dynasty, and they will not say a word about the Great Sui Dynasty's edicts.

They dismissed it, and after hearing the joke, they went on to do their own things. But now the Sui Dynasty is the number one prince in the world, and only three out of seven of the world. Everyone is afraid of the huge Sui Dynasty, and everyone thinks that the edict is

It's true, everyone is worried that the Sui Dynasty will deal with them, so it becomes possible to put aside the past grudges and coordinate operations.

When Yang Tong expressed this concern, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

A long while!

Yang Gongren solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I have issued an edict to denounce the southern princes as thieves. It is indeed possible for them to join forces! But this must be done to gain fame and righteousness, so as to lay the foundation for unifying the world in the future! Moreover, the southern princes are full of conflicts.

The grievances and grievances are as deep as the mountains and the sea. Even if they form an alliance to fight, they cannot be of one heart and one mind."

"Your Majesty!" At this time, a soft yet firm voice sounded from the side, and a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance and an imposing manner stood up. He was Yang Shanhui, a historical figure who was victorious in every battle.

He cupped his hands and said: "If your hands and feet are tied because of a loose alliance that may not exist, then how will the Holy One command the world and make the people fear you? So this edict should be issued."

"Your Majesty, the most difficult days of the Sui Dynasty have passed. Are we still afraid of these bandits? If they really want to form an alliance, they can be captured in one fell swoop!" Luo Shixin, Duke of Tan, said proudly.

Yang Tong burst into laughter, patted his forehead, and said: "After becoming the emperor, I feel that I have become less courageous."

"It's not that Your Majesty has become timid, it's that His Majesty has grown up!" Yang Gongren said.
Chapter completed!
