Chapter 66 One Leaf Knows Autumn

In the early autumn, the Grand Tutor of the Sui State, Li Mu, died of illness in Chang'an. The emperor stopped the court for three days. He sent the Huangmen Minister to supervise the funeral and gave four horses, two thousand hu of millet, and one thousand silk. On the day of his burial, he ordered all officials to escort his coffin outside the city, and the Taichangqing was celebrating the rituals of Taizhu. w????????

Yang Jian was a little sad when the important official died of illness. He gave great support to Li Mu in the Sui Dynasty in Zhou Dynasty. Now that the pillar of the country has left, it is a pity.

But Yang Jian was busy for not long after he was sad because he was not free to stare in a daze. According to the detailed message sent to Zhou State, various signs indicate that something was wrong with Zhou State recently.

There is nothing wrong with it, it’s just that I’m ready to move. After two years of rest, I feel strong and strong, and I’m going to attack again. But it doesn’t matter, the Sui Kingdom is also ready.

He has not wasted his time in the past two years. The arrogant Turks a few years ago have now been split by Changsun Sheng, who was sent out by Yang Jian, using a divisive strategy, and there is no time to go south.

Without constraints, you can do your best to deal with the Zhou State in the east, but the Zhou State was constrained by the Chen State in the south, and you will be more or less distracted. However, for the Zhou State, Chen State is just a scabies, and there is another problem, which is the biggest hidden danger of the Zhou State.

Yang Jian was in his prime, and the Prime Minister Yuchi in Yecheng was already old, so time was on Yang Jian's side. Even if the Zhou State launched a large-scale attack this time, the Sui State would just be as long as it defended.

Can you defend it? The biggest reliance of the Zhou army is nothing more than "Booming the Sky Thunder". This Booming the Sky Thunder is used to attack the city sharply, but the Sui Kingdom is already familiar with the tricks, so there are corresponding ways to restrain it.

The Sui and Zhou ties all the important places at the border between the Sui and Zhou dynasties, and the Sui army deployed heavy troops to defend. Even if the Zhou army went westward, they would have to end up in a difficult situation under the strong city.

The Zhou army was defeated again, and the confidence and morale that had accumulated finally accumulated would probably completely dissipate. They would be much more honest in the next few years, and the old Yuchi was about to leave.

Xiao Yuchi, who is connected to the position, will be very difficult to suppress Yuwen Liang, and Yuwen Liang will not miss the opportunity, so he will definitely take the opportunity to expand his power.

The conflict between the Yuchi family and the Yuwen family will break out sooner or later. Either the Yuchi family replaces it like the Gao family of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, or the Yuwen family makes a strong counterattack.

No matter which one is, the Zhou Kingdom will definitely fall into internal strife. Yang Jian waited for this opportunity to unite with the Chen Kingdom in Jiangnan to take the opportunity to benefit.

This was the result of repeated discussions between Yang Jian and his confidant ministers, so he was full of confidence and followed the agreed plan to prevent and attack appropriately, just like the Western Wei Dynasty against the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian's thoughts turned to another thing, which made him a little angry.

The Sui Kingdom was established, and the new dynasty should have a new look. Yang Jian changed the six official systems of the Zhou Kingdom to the three provinces and six ministries system, reducing taxes, labor service, and people's livelihood. He introduced many new policies that won the hearts of the people.

National strength has recovered and all industries have flourished, but one measure has not been implemented for a long time, that is, to formulate the righteous voice of the new dynasty.

The Yuefu of the Sui Kingdom naturally followed the music of the Zhou Kingdom at the beginning, but using the music of the previous dynasty to praise the merits of the previous dynasty, what is this like!

In the early years of Kaihuang, a minister reported that the ritual and music had been destroyed for a long time. Now Taichang uses the music and sound of Hu, and asked the court to search for ancient books based on the old stories of the Liang State.

It is said that the elegant music of the Liang Kingdom is in line with the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is very appropriate to revise the elegant music of the Sui Kingdom based on this, but Yang Jian felt it was inappropriate: the sound of a destruction of the country is too unlucky!

Therefore, he ordered the Music Officer and Music Office to change the rhythm of the Yuefu, and to formulate the "Ya Yue Zheng" of the Sui Kingdom, but the effect was not good. Therefore, Yang Jian then ordered Taichang Qing Niu Hong, the Imperial Priest Jiu Xin Yanzhi, and the Imperial Phoenix Dr. He Tuo and others to discuss the correct music.

This discussion took several years, and Yang Jian felt very depressed. In the past few years, the Yuefu still used the music of the previous dynasty, court meetings, palace banquets and other major occasions, and this was slapping him in the face.

I have been unable to calm down the sound of the elegant music for a long time. Could it be that there are remnants of the previous dynasty in Yuefu who are in love with their hometown?

Yang Jian was furious and was about to deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty, a minister gave advice and explained the reasons. After he looked carefully several times, he realized that he had turned aside: it was really not easy to formulate the sound of the elegant music.

During the Yongjia Rebellion, the musical work of Jin State who had mastered the Yale Music. Due to the natural disasters and heavy casualties, the surviving groups were divided into two groups. One group fled from Luoyang and went south to Jingxiang. It was used by the Eastern Jin Dynasty and changed the dynasty of the Song, Qi and Liang.

Another group of musicians failed to escape Luoyang and plundered the forces in the north. With the change of dynasties, they were displaced and many musical instruments had been lost. Regardless of the north and south, the elegant music had fallen apart several times, and there were many missing points.

To correct the elegant music, you have to study the northern and southern music together, but this is also very complicated. The elegant music of the Southern Dynasties is just missing, while the elegant music of the Northern Dynasties is not only missing, but also mixed with many Huyin.

The Wei Kingdom in the Northern Dynasties was divided into the East and West Wei, the Eastern Wei was replaced by Gao Qi, and the Western Wei was replaced by Yuwen Zhou. Emperor Wu of Zhou appointed the Turkic Ashina as his queen. Among the dowry, there were a large number of Western musicians, so Zhou Yue introduced the music from Kucha.

Zhou destroyed Qi, and the Northern Dynasties' elegant music was once again unified. Zhou's music was already mixed with many Hu sounds, while the Southern Dynasties' elegant music added new voices of the Qing Shang Dynasty. How to eliminate false and preserve the truth and repair the lack is the problem.

Yang Jian was so impressed when he heard about pure academic issues. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only wait. After all, it was related to the national system. If there were mistakes in time, it would be a joke and leave a name for historical books.

For the sake of "speaking and discussion", people who know the sound competed for it. Everyone quoted the classics and said it was very reasonable. As a result, most of the opinions were opposed. Yang Jian was in a dilemma as he looked at the memorial and didn't know who to listen to.

This kind of thing is fought for by people who know the sounds, and when the result will be decided. However, Yang Jian was a little worried because he noticed some clues from this incident: forming a clique for personal gain!

People from all walks of life have their own opinions, and then their relatives and friends waving flags and shouting for them. The battle for the elegant music has already shown signs of exceeding the academic scope.

What's more, they began to mobilize disciples and officials to slander the character of the opponent, and academic debates began to turn into factional disputes.

If they are on their side, they support it, and if they are not, they will oppose it. It is only for people and not for things.

What's going on? It's not just about people? Shouldn't normal arguments be about things that are not about people? What do you want to do if you form cliques and form cliques for personal gain?

As the emperor, the lonely man standing at the peak of power, Yang Jian was instinctively alert. He realized that he could no longer sit and wait for death and had to take corresponding measures to solve the problem.

A Ye Zhiqiu, and the disputes of joy and discussion are actually an allusion to the government. Aristocratic families, powerful families, their children, disciples and former officials are all in the court and the country. Whether it is Beijing officials, local officials, prefectures and counties, government soldiers, or imperial guards, they all have their own context.

These people are nominally officials and generals of the court, but who should listen to them at an emergency?

They will give priority to family interests and personal interests. As for the interests of the court, they must rank third at the highest, so forming cliques for personal gain is inevitable, and this is the cancer of a country and will be fatal.

So what? Does changing an emperor on the throne have anything to do with the great families? It’s just whether you can get benefits from it.

After the shocking change in the second year of the elephant, the aristocratic families and powerful families could abandon the Yuwen family without hesitation and support the Yang family. Yang Jian reached the peak, so he knew nothing more about the trick.

The Grand Tutor Li Mu, who had just passed away, was the confidant of Zhou Taizu Yuwen Tai, and his status was not low. He was a loyal minister of Yuwen's family, but he chose family interests first and abandoned his old master without hesitation.

Since these aristocratic families can abandon the Yuwen family and support the Yang family, I think that when the situation changes one day, they can abandon the Yang family and support other families, right?

For example, the Li family in Longxi?
