Chapter 441 Impeachment
Hebei.
The emperor's car drove through the Yellow River and headed north.
Because the canal was frozen and could not be navigated, the emperor did not take a dragon boat to the north this time, but made a carriage. However, the carriage was specially made, with many wheels, and the carriage on it was larger, which was actually a moving palace.
In order to allow the emperor's Wheel Palace to pass smoothly, as early as the New Year, the officials of all counties along the way had received orders and urgently recruited many people to build roads to widen and fill the road surface.
When the Emperor's convoy passed by, he deliberately padded the loess and sprinkled water to remove dust.
Sitting in the Palace of Wheels, the spring is chilly outside, but the inside is warm as spring. The emperor even wore only a thin shirt, but the emperor did not make any car and horse shaking.
Although the emperor was on the road at this time, he never stopped handling government affairs.
There were stacks of memorials in front of the emperor's imperial case, but these memorials had been viewed by Su Wei and others. Several emperor favorite ministers previewed the following memorials and deducted some memorials that they thought should not disturb the emperor.
Then they presented them to the emperor, and even before the emperor watched these notes, they made simple solutions for the emperor to choose and refer to.
For this reason, Emperor Yang Guang did not know that as today's rebellion, he thought that it was just as Su Wei and Pei Yun and others said, although there were some riots in various places, it was just riots. A small number of people were making trouble, but it was not serious.
Although local officials like Zhang Xutuo also reported the bandit suppression and rebellion truthfully, his memorials were basically suppressed by Su Wei and others.
Occasionally, there are a few censors who are not afraid of death who speak out to the emperor, but the emperor doesn't believe it at all. Instead, they think they are exaggerating and not only do not listen to their words, but they often severely punish them.
Just like this, when the emperor left the eastern capital Luoyang, a minister stopped the carriage in front of the city gate and spoke out bluntly that the emperor should not go east again. He also said that if Goguryeo dies, the Great Sui Dynasty will die first.
This made the emperor very unhappy. As a result, the minister refused to give in. Yang Guang was furious and asked someone to drag him down and beat him with a stick. As a result, the minister was old and the man who attacked him was cruel. He beat him to death after only a dozen sticks.
But Yang Guang still did not wake up at all and continued to go north.
After opening a memorial, Yang Guang exclaimed.
This memorial was directed by Yang Xuangan, Minister of Rites. Yang Xuangan was the son of Yang Su. He was able to successfully fight for the throne and even sit on the throne of the emperor. Yang Su can be said to have made great contributions.
Yang Su is a man with talent for heaven and earth, and he is a general and a prime minister.
In terms of personal martial arts, Yang Su is just like that, but when it comes to commanding wars, even his father Yang Jian told him that Yang Su could be the best in commanding troops in the Sui Dynasty and was above the generals.
Indeed, Yang Su held commanders to command troops to fight many times, such as the rebellion of Pingjiangnan after destroying Chen, and then went north to attack the Turks. Later, Yang Liang rebelled and Yang Su led troops to fight. Every time, Yang Su never lost, and for many times, he was defeated by less.
He has never lost not only in fighting the rebellion, but also in fighting hard against the Turkic cavalry.
It is precisely because Yang Su's talent is too high that Yang Guang is very afraid of him. Fortunately, Yang Suren is smart and died of illness after knowing his thoughts.
Yang Xuangan is Yang Su's eldest son. He was a little foolish when he was young, but when he grew up, he showed good talent. Although he could not compare to his father's strategy and wisdom, he was better than his bravery. He was known as the reincarnation of Xiang Yu. In the past two years, Yang Xuangan has performed very well. Whether he was sent to the local government as the governor or recalled the court to sit on the bench at the Qingshui Yamen, he had no complaints.
During this second expedition, all officials were silent, but Yang Xuangan showed great enthusiasm.
Therefore, Yang Guang became more and more satisfied with him. This time he went north, Yang Xuangan followed him in front of the emperor, and Yang Guang often summoned him to discuss confidential matters.
Yang Xuangan has already had a vague trend of being the sixth most expensive thing in great cause.
However, after Yang Guang read the contents of Yang Xuangan, he frowned.
Yang Xuangan only reported one thing, which was to impeach Luo Cheng, the young general he valued the most. Yang Xuangan said that Luo Cheng was proud and arrogant and domineering in his achievements.
Now he is working in Henan and kills innocent people. Just because a few young people hit him, Luo Cheng ordered the four people to be killed in the street and sent someone to search the four people's family and exterminate them.
In addition, Luo Cheng violated the system and secretly summoned his former subordinates of the Five Left Army to gather in Zhangqiu without going through the Ministry of War and the Guard. He also summoned nearly 20,000 prefecture soldiers and county soldiers from the counties in Henan, allowing them to train day and night and wait for the battle.
Therefore, Yang Xuangan impeached Luo Cheng with a arrogant and arrogant attitude, and wanted to gain troops and respect himself. He even wanted to rebel in Henan while the emperor was personally storming Liaodong.
"This Luo Cheng."
Yang Guang submitted the memorial together, but did not approve it. Instead, he threw the memorial into a box under his feet. There were already many memorials in that box, which the emperor was unwilling to reply after reading it.
Throwing it into this box means keeping it and not sending it out.
Yang Guang didn't believe that Luo Cheng would rebel.
Even if you want to rebel, you must have enough capital and qualifications and prestige. For example, warlords like the Eighth Pillars have accumulated over several generations, countless disciples and subordinates in the government and opposition army, and they have married a lot, so they can rebel.
And what does Luo Cheng have?
Although the Luo family has two dukes, the Luo family has no background after all, and it is impossible to achieve anything with just two martial artists. Besides, Luo Cheng quickly rose up and showed up when he last conquest of Liao. What qualifications and prestige do the young man in his 20-year-old have?
"Yang Xuangan is far inferior to his father Yang Su. I can't stand a little taller than his young man like Luo Cheng. I'm too jealous."
"But Luo Cheng is indeed too young. Although he made great contributions to conquer Liao, he doesn't know how to restrain himself and keep a low profile. This is a murderer and a house search. Wouldn't you know that someone would impeach him?"
Yang Guang said a few words to himself, but he didn't take it seriously.
After all, Luo Cheng could not rebel, so killing a few people was just a trivial matter. It was too late for the emperor to like Luo Cheng now, so even if he did something extraordinary, it would not be considered a matter of anything.
Pick up another memorial.
It was the one who impeached Luo Cheng again. He looked at the name of the reporter, and it turned out to be Yuwen Shu.
The impeachment of Luo Cheng by Yuwen Laogou was similar, but he added another crime, that is, Luo Cheng made friends with local tyrants in Henan, and appointed nepotism, and granted official positions to relatives and friends and old friends in an extraordinary manner.
For example, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were all awarded the title of prefect, Qin Qiong was awarded the title of the chief lieutenant, Zhai Rang was awarded the title of the county magistrate, etc., and these people were not qualified to be promoted in this way.
Taking this memorial, Yang Guang pondered for a long time, and finally threw the memorial from Old Dog into the box under his feet.
