Chang'an.
Yu Wenxian rode a war horse and led a large number of knights to appear on the official road to the north.
Yu Wenxian looked particularly tired. He had lost a lot of weight, his face was dull, and his eyes were so bloodshot that he couldn't even open them.
After getting Yu Wenyong's order, he had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​recapturing Xiazhou, and only recovered a dilapidated Yanzhou.
After arranging the front line deployment, he hurried back to Chang'an. The emperor ordered to summon the important ministers in the country to discuss important matters together.
In the previous wars, Yu Wenxian was one of the few generals who could confront Gao Changgong, Hu Luxian, and Hu Luguang head-on, put some pressure on them, and win each other's battles. His status was thus improved.
In the past, he was only valued because of his status as the emperor's younger brother. Now, many people recognize his military talents and treat him as a true commander-in-chief.
Yu Wenxian didn't know what he was looking at, but there was deep worry in his eyes.
When they arrived at the city gate, someone from a distance came to greet them.
Several of Yu Wenyong's close confidants and important ministers were among them, which showed that the emperor attached great importance to Yu Wenxian, and the person who took the lead was none other than the emperor's eldest son, Duke Yuwen of the State of Lu.
Yuwen was wearing ordinary clothes and stood at the front of the crowd, looking around with indescribable grievance and pity in his eyes.
Yu Wenxian quickly dismounted, and he led many other ministers and walked quickly in the direction of Duke Lu.
Although Yu Wen has not been officially registered as the crown prince until now, as the eldest son, he has no flaws or shortcomings, so it is only a matter of time before he becomes the crown prince.
This can be seen from the fact that Yu Wenzan asked him to come to greet his uncle.
Yu Wenxian looked at the little guy in front of him.
Yuwen was one year younger than the Northern Qi Emperor and had just turned ten.
He looked timid, his eyes were full of fear, there were obvious scars on his forehead, and half of his face was red and swollen. Looking at him, the smile on Yu Wenxian's face solidified.
"Ah...how did you do this?"
Yu Wenzan looked at his uncle, but did not dare to speak and just shook his head.
Yu Wenxian originally had many things to say to him, but he couldn't say them at the moment. He sighed and touched Yuwen's head.
Then, he looked directly at another minister not far away.
Deng Guogong Dou Chi.
Dou Chi was injured in the previous battlefield and had no choice but to retreat and returned to the temple first.
Yu Wenyong trusted him quite a lot and asked his opinion on many things.
After the two met, they walked into the city together.
Yu Wenyong didn't say anything and silently followed the two princes.
Inspector Yu Wen glanced at him, and then looked at Dou Chi, "Brother, why are you so harsh? You're just a man. Dou Chi was stunned for a moment, then hesitated, "This emperor's family affairs...
Yu Wenxian did not ask any more questions, and the two of them rode horses side by side. Dou Chi felt a lot of confusion in his heart, "I heard that Yanzhou was severely damaged. Is this true?"
Yu Wenxian did not hide the other party, saying truthfully: "Gao Changgong almost moved Yanzhou to the empty, and the one who could be taken away did not fall. Only some people were spared.
, The south of the south failed to preserve. "
"We exhausted, but we got a vacant land ... ::
"Fortunately, those cities under my control still have not been destroyed, at least it will not really become an open space."
Yu Wenxian's expression was low, and he said: "Gao Changgong is really cunning ..: From the beginning, he never thought about keeping Yanzhou. He Ruoyi was right, and he had been transporting materials and manpower behind him."
Looking at such a sad Yu Wenxian, Dou Chi didn't dare to ask other things again.
He just persuaded: "Qi Guogong, this is just a temporary defeat. Although this time is frustrated, there are many young handsome Jies come out.
The knife, but there are these post -living people, Da Zhou is not unsatisfactory. "
‘Especially Qi Guogong. When he followed Yu Wen’ s protection, Guogong just knew some military, but now he can fight with Gao Changgong.
There may not be a chance to defeat Liu Taozi! "
Dou Chi was very optimistic and persuaded a few words,
Yu Wenxian just returned to his slightly bitter smile.
The three Guogong returned to the palace, and it was unobstructed all the way.
Yu Wenzheng saw Dou Chi and Yu Wenxian standing together, but Yu Wen fell at the end. He opened a long distance from them.
"Axian."
Yu Wenzheng smiled and pulled his brother's hand, and invited the two to sit down enthusiastically.
Dou Chi knew big things very much, dared not stay, and resigned. Yu Wenzan wanted to walk and did not dare to walk aside. He was at a loss, Yu Wen looked at him, even more angry, "What do you do here?!"
Yu Wenzan didn't quite understand, and asked carefully: "Then me ... sit down?"
"What to sit down? Go out! Go out now!"
Yu Wen looked at his father's look, and was even more confused. I don't know if she should go or stay.
Yu Wenxian opened his mouth in time, "Azan, you go back to rest first."
Yu Wenzan left his head and left.
Yu Wenyi looked at the son disappointed, and looked at the younger brother on the side.
Yu Wenxian said softly: ("Brother, Azan is still young, how can he be so severe to him?"
"Besides, I think there are still injuries on his body ... \ n Brother, my brother is too much."
"This is the country's future Chu Jun. I also ask my elder brother not to be so harsh ...
Yu Wenyong frowned and said softly: "It is because he is the eldest son that I am strict with him."
"It's not because I don't love him. You also understand the current situation. He can't read well, use a sword well, and can't even treat others. How can he inherit the career left by his father? How can he deal with those people?
Where are the ferocious enemies?"
"I'll let you say whatever you want about other matters. But on this matter, please don't try to persuade me!"
Yu Wenyong has a stubborn character and will never change anything he believes in.
Yu Wenxian could only give up.
The two stopped talking about Yu Wenzan, and Yu Wenyong suddenly felt much better. He did not blame Yu Wenxian for the previous defeat. Instead, he praised his brother's bravery and was particularly pleased with his extraordinary military talent.
.
After praising him like this for a long time, Yuwen Yong finally got down to business with him.
Yu Wenyong asked everyone to leave for the time being. When only the two brothers were left in the room, he slowly spoke of his thoughts.
When Yu Wenxian heard this, he was shocked.
"Brother wants to attack Chen??"
Yu Wenxian looked at his brother in disbelief and said hurriedly: "Brother, how can we send troops now? We just suffered a defeat in the north, and the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an is even more in chaos...
"If you lose it, go to the north; if you take it, go to the south."
Yu Wenyong said calmly: "I will not fight Liu Taozi easily again."
"This war is enough to prove that Liu Taozi's national power is already superior to ours."
"We have to find ways to improve our national strength now, and we have to think about the future."
"I am planning to crown the clan king.
"Kingdom??"
Yu Wenxian still couldn't understand it.
Yu Wenyong explained: "Previously, I issued edicts to attack the wealthy clans and the Buddhist family, but I did not achieve much breakthrough. All policies were limited to Chang'an and could not go to other places."
"I later figured out that this was because the people in the place had become the climate."
"Officials in various places may be loyal to me, but they are more loyal to their clan and friends than to me."
"These officials are either from rich families or military leaders. Their interests are intertwined with each other. They don't care about the prosperity of the country at all. All they can see is their own interests."
"And the people of my great Zhou Dynasty actually went to help Liu Taozi's army to deal with our own people."
"How sad is this?"
"How much harm have these insects in this place brought to my people??"
Yu Wenyong's face was gloomy, "I need you to help me."
"In the past, Yu Wenhu made more use of his sons and allowed them to do whatever they wanted. I always hated him, but now, I understand some of his thoughts."
"The only ones who can control these noble families are the clan."
"I'm going to make the king a king, let the clan gradually take control of the military and local areas, and use them to implement the reforms I want."
"Axian."
Yu Wenyong looked at his younger brother, "What do you think?"
"Don't hide anything, and don't be afraid that it will affect our feelings. Just say whatever you want, and you must tell the truth."
He took his brother's hand and said, "The Great Zhou Dynasty has reached the edge of the cliff today. If the brothers cannot work together, then our father's inheritance will really be ruined in our hands."
Yu Wenxian listened to Yu Wenyong's words, his expression was particularly hesitant.
There are some words that I really shouldn't let myself say or participate in, but thinking of the current situation, Yu Wenxian simply gritted his teeth and didn't care anymore.
"Brother, you only see the achievements of the clan, but nothing else."
"The ancient Wei State tried its best to suppress the clan, but the Jin Dynasty did the opposite."
"Brother, do you still remember what happened to the Jin Dynasty?"
Yu Wenyong was shocked and looked at his younger brother in front of him.
It is really not easy for a clan member to take the initiative to say such words. Yu Wenyong's eyes softened and he gently held his brother's hand. "Just because of your words, I don't have to worry about the clan clan."
.”
"Not all people in the clan are like Yu Wenzhi, there are also people like you."
"The chaos in the general dynasty also broke out after the emperor's death. While the emperor was still there, they did not dare to make things difficult."
"Right now, we are all still young and strong, and the danger is right in front of us, but we have no way to think about the future. How can any of the many policies in the world be perfect?"
"Any policy has its good sides, and naturally it also has its bad sides."
"My father and the others used to grant land, and the people were grateful, but now it has been turned into a bad government by some people. Everything is the same."
Yu Wenxian nodded, "Okay, I am willing to help brother."
Yu Wenyong then continued: "Promoting the clan is just the beginning, and subsequent reforms are the most important."
"I have prepared four plans now."
"I will talk to you about these in detail later. Apart from these internal things, there are external things."
"Chen Guo."
"We have now lost a critical position. Liu Taozi has obtained Henan. Within a few years, his national power will rise to an even more terrifying level. I am already mentally prepared for this."
"Zhou's national strength is not as good as Qi's, let alone Liu Taozi's?"
"I want to capture Chen State, use the river as a defense line, and wait for changes in the north."
Yu Wenyong cleared his throat, "Listen to me."
"During these days, we have suffered great losses. There is a shortage of food in various places, but there is no shortage in the south. The south has not suffered a disastrous defeat. There is plenty of food, but it is not easy to transfer it to the north."
"Quan Jingxuan and others built ships in the south, Jingzhou has a large scale of our scale."
"These naval army occupies a favorable direction, and you can go south of the river and pound the yellow dragon."
"Chen Guo was not prepared for us, they put their minds in Lianghuai Land, and many places in Jingzhou defense had a vacancy."
Yu Wenyi also wanted to say more, but Yu Wenxian interrupted him directly.
After the brothers opened their hearts, Yu Wenxian became much bold, and he said seriously:
"Brother, I don't think it is feasible."
"Oh? Why?"
"Brother Fang is right, but suddenly the attack can win many states and counties of Chen Guo, and if you want to completely destroy Chen Guo, I'm afraid it's not easy."
"Even if we kill the city of Jiankang, Chen Xiang will never surrender easily.
If there are more troops, it will easily become a tug -of -war. By then, the food in the south will be consumed, which will have a greater impact on national strength. If there are fewer troops, they will be destroyed directly. "
"Chen Guo does not lack generals, these people have the ability to deal with such attacks."
"Once things have not succeeded, then we and Chen Guo can no longer fight against the Han army."
"On the one hand to beware of Liu Taozi, we must also focus on the attack of Chen people."
"Facten than benefits."
Listening to his brother's words, Yu Wen was hesitant, and he was not as confident as Fang.
Yu Wenxian said seriously: "But my elder brother's arrangement for the country, I really want to listen to it ..: At present, there are still many territories of our territory.
The innovations that the elder brother said so that the people can live in peace and career. They have lost Xiazhou, and Liu Taozi cannot easily break our army and board our city. "
Yu Wenzheng's face was much better. He talked to Yu Wenxian seriously about his thoughts.
Zhou Guo, who had just ended a war, is arguing because of other things.
In April, the emperor Yu Wenzheng suddenly ordered: to reward the clan.
Qi Guogong Yu Wenxian entered King Qi, Zhao Guogong Yuwen recruited Zhao Wang, Yue Guogong Yuwen entered the king of Vietnam, Teng Guogong Yuwen entered the king of Teng. ::.
Duke.
The incident quickly caused great controversy. The clan was particularly excited. From the Kings of the National Public to the King of the Kingdom, their status directly surpassed those of those of the country.
Press these nationals.
Now the death of the Guogong died, the injury, the old old, did not stand up to oppose Yu Wenzheng at all. On the contrary, Yu Wenzheng has promoted many clan into the military and places in recent years. These people have become Yuwen.
The first soldiers of, staring straight at those nationals, depending on who dare to publicly show that they are dissatisfied.
The courtiers also disapproved of this. They used the examples of rebellions caused by large-scale awards to clan members in the past to persuade Yuwen Yong.
Yu Wenyong memorized the names of these persuaders, and then gave the list to his brothers in the clan.
For a time, the clan was particularly strong and launched a fierce attack on the courtiers and the princes behind them. More and more positions fell into the hands of the clan.
In May, Yu Wenyong issued the second edict: Continue to reward!
The Duke of Ji, Yu Wenkang, was the King of Ji, the Duke of Bi, Wenxian, was the King of Bi, the Duke of Shan, Wenzhen, was the King of Shan, the Duke of Song, Yu Wenshi, was the King of Song, the Duke of Han, Yu Wenzan, was the King of Han, the Duke of Qin, Wenshi, was the King of Qin, and the Duke of Cao, Yu Wenyun, was the King of Cao.
While proclaiming kings on a grand scale, they also gave rewards to the other clans. The capable clansmen were given priority to receive day care. Quanyu Wenyong even hinted to the clan elders to find talented clansmen to succeed those princes who had no descendants.
, in order to attract rewards.
For a time, most important positions and military personnel in the country had the surname Yuwen.
The clan members all shouted, he is really the Holy King!!
After completing the reform of internal officials, Yu Wenyong finally decided to carry out drastic domestic reforms.
The first thing Yu Wenyong had to do was to destroy the Buddha.
Yu Wenyong directly issued an edict. The edict stated that the temple now occupies a large amount of fertile land and population.
He also refused to bear the taxes and levies, devoured the common people, defied the government, secretly colluded with Chen State, and promoted Chen State's benevolent government in various places, causing some people to flee from Zhou State and flee to Chen State, etc. They hoarded food in temples and hid weapons to appease their stomachs.
Selecting young people to serve as armed forces is suspected of treason.
After accusing the other party of his evil deeds, Yu Wenyong asked various places to start a campaign to exterminate Buddhism, following the example of Liu Han,
Clean temples, free their tenants, take back their farmland, exile eminent monks, and burn scriptures.
The entire Zhou Kingdom was shocked. I don’t know how many people cried and begged the emperor to take back his order. Some officials resisted Yuwen Yong’s edict by resigning or resisting execution.
The clan came in very good use at this moment. These young clan members, who had just gained power because of Yu Wenyong, bared their fangs and began to attack those who disobeyed.
In just a few short months, the situation in Zhou Kingdom also changed.
Every family of small virtuous people cried out, and every family of great virtuous people went on the road one after another.
Exterminating Buddha was just one of Yu Wenyong's many policies. He not only wanted to attack monks, he also wanted to attack wealthy families and nobles.
The Taoist priests in the country could not sit still and wrote to the emperor one after another, hoping to turn these temples into Taoist temples.
Little did he know that it happened to hit the muzzle of Yu Wenyong's gun.
Yuwen Yong conveniently banned the Taoist priests and ordered all localities not to forget to bring Taoist temples with them when visiting temples.
Then, the emperor issued an order for the fifth time, this time the spearhead was directly aimed at the wealthy clan.
The emperor had the courage to see through the cauldron and was not afraid of any changes or turmoil in the country. He was no longer restrained as before. With the attitude of either living or dragging you to death, he began to attack all injustices.
The emperor's fifth edict once again recounted the issue of cultivated land and tenants: Those who hide more than three hectares of land shall be punished by death! Those who lie about cultivated land shall be punished by death! Those who serve as slaves shall be released!
A great transformation began in the west.
pS: Ding You, Ji Guo Gong Kang, Bi Guo Gong Xian, Shan Guo Gong Zhen, Song Guo Gong Shi, Han Guo Gong Praise, Qin Guo Gongshi, Cao Guo Gong was promoted to the king. 11 "Book of Zhou·The Chronicles of Emperor Wu"
At the beginning, the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism were eliminated, all the scriptures and images were destroyed, the ascetics and Taoists were dismissed, and they were ordered to be returned to the people. All obscene sacrifices were banned.
Anything that is not included in the ceremony will be eliminated. 11. "Book of Zhou·The Chronicles of Emperor Wu"
I used to wear earphones to read the code, but it turned out that my ears were inflamed, and my hearing was blurry and painful. It was better before, but it has relapsed in the past few days. I have to inject drops twice a day, so the update will inevitably be affected.
