Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, and said carefully: "Report to Your Majesty, the third source of the crisis is that the old forces within the Great Sui Dynasty are still very strong, which is directly related to the fact that the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty did not completely wipe out the old forces left over from the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"You mean the Guanlong nobles?"

"It was not only them, but also the old nobles of the Northern Qi and Southern Dynasties."

In fact, Zhang Xuan said it was very implicit. The founding of the Sui Dynasty was abdicated to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and did not completely destroy the old system by a bloody revolution, which led to the old forces represented by the Guanlong nobles still being very powerful. They had enough power to obstruct various reforms that harmed their interests.

However, such words involve the national system. If the slightest inappropriateness, they will touch the emperor's rebellion. They must not be said directly. They can only pinch the roots and keep the branches, and point them out in a general way, avoiding the root causes of the existence of the Guanlong nobles.

Yang Guang was the person involved, so he understood the three drawbacks that Zhang Xuan mentioned. He knew better than anyone else about the huge gap between the north and the south. He wanted to fill the generation gap between the north and the south as soon as possible. As early as when he was young, he had worked hard to truly unify the north and the south. He even married Xiao Liang's noble daughter as his wife.

But as Zhang Xuan said, hundreds of years of division between the north and the south will not be able to achieve true unity in just a few decades, but it will take hundreds of generations to slowly integrate. However, Yang Guang hopes to complete this feat of integration between the north and the south in his lifetime.

As for the aristocratic system and the Guanlong nobles, he also had a deeper understanding than anyone else. The capital moved east to Luoyang. Isn’t it just to avoid Guanzhong, which was firmly controlled by the Guanlong nobles? But to this day, he is a little overwhelmed in many places.

At this time, Yang Tan said on the side: "Report to grandfather, guard Zhang also told his grandson about Zhang Xutuo."

Yang Guang was stunned, "What's going on?"

The fundamental reason why Zhang Xuan took the initiative to plead guilty to Luo Shixin was to make friends with Shandong heroes like Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin.

There is also Zhang Xutuo. His loyalty and righteousness of not considering personal honor and disgrace, and his loyalty and righteousness to serve the country and the people are truly admirable. Moreover, he has a lofty prestige in the Great Sui army. It is of course very important for Zhang Xuan, who is determined to develop in the Sui army, to establish a good relationship with Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I just talked to the King of Yan about Zhang Xutuo in private, and I really dare not comment in front of Your Majesty."

"Did you comment in a vain and I know in my heart, but I want to know how you told my eldest grandson, I want to hear it."

"Your Majesty, the rebellion in Shandong was the most prosperous, but since Zhang Xutuo quelled the rebellion in Shandong, the rebellion in Shandong has gradually been suppressed. This is obvious to all. However, the empress told His Highness the King of Yan that although Zhang Xutuo was very powerful in war, he failed in life, especially offended many people in the court."

"How did he fail to be a human being? Tell me what he said?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this time Zhang Xutuo went to Beijing to explain the defeat of Zhang and Jin, and brought hundreds of jars of pickled vegetables in Qi County, saying that they were specialties of Qi County, and a jar was worth about a hundred yuan. He was going to use this pickled vegetables as a gift to the ministers in the court."

Yang Guang said lightly: "Pickled vegetables are not bad either! He brought Qi County specialties from afar, which is also a great idea."

Zhang Xuan sighed, "But Your Majesty, in the end he didn't even give out a jar of pickled vegetables, which was already a joke in the court."

Yang Yan next to him said angrily: "A person with real skills will certainly not do these evil ways. Zhang Xutuo is the pillar of the Great Sui Dynasty. The emperor's grandfather also told his grandson that he would not doubt people and doubt people. Since the emperor's grandfather wanted to use him, he should support him with all his strength and not let him fall into the hands of those villains in the court."

After all, Yang Nai was young and was not as subtle as Zhang Xuan, and tried not to touch Yang Guang's painful feet. Yang Nai was in a state of dissatisfaction and said frankly that he had just encountered the pain of his emperor's grandfather. The ministers' corruption and abuse of power were all the consequences of Yang Guang's indulgence?

Zhang Xuan secretly shouted something wrong and hurriedly winked Yang Xuan, but it was too late. Yang Guang's face suddenly darkened, and he angrily scolded Yang Xuan and said, "Do I need you to teach me a lesson? You can study hard for me and not participate in the affairs of the court again. Have you heard it?"

Yang Qing gritted his teeth and lowered his head, not daring to say more, Yang Guang said to Zhang Xuan coldly: "And you, a small guard dares to discuss major issues in the world. If it weren't for the sake of Qing'er, I would have to kill you. I will spare you this time, and I will not be allowed to talk nonsense to my grandson in the future. If there is another time, I will definitely behead you and retreat!"

Zhang Xuan sighed secretly in his heart, feeling helpless, he had to bow and turn around and leave. Yang Guang felt a little tired, so he didn't want to talk to Changsun anymore, and waved his hand to let him retreat.

Yang Neng knew what he said wrongly, and felt regretful. No wonder, and quickly whispered: "This is my grandson's idea and it has nothing to do with Guard Zhang."

"Go! Grandfather understands in his heart, grandfather is a little tired."

"Grandson leaves!"

Yang Qing bowed and slowly retreated. Yang Guang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and pondered for a long time. He was still slowly recalling the three drawbacks that Zhang Xuan said.

At this time, Empress Xiao slowly walked out from behind the screen and smiled and said, "Your Majesty has also spent a lot of effort on this eldest grandson."

Yang Guang sighed, "He is my heir. I don't want him to follow my old path anymore. I hope he can be smoother."

"Your Majesty doesn't seem to like this guard named Zhang Xuan?"

"He is quite knowledgeable, but I still don't want Mr. Ben to be influenced too much. His martial arts are too strong. I hope my grandson can rule the world with culture."

Although Yang Guang agreed with Zhang Xuan's point of view, he still showed an emperor's arrogance on the surface. He snorted: "A small guard was talking in front of me. If I hadn't been tolerant today and gave him a face, I would have ordered him to be pushed out and killed."

"Your Majesty is so angry!"

Queen Xiao smiled and said, "But I think this Zhang Xuan is good and a trustworthy person."

Yang Guang was stunned, "The queen knows him too?"

"I know that baby daughter because of him."

Queen Xiao did not hide it, so she told me in detail about Zhang Xuan's shopping with Ji'er, and finally said, "I was very angry at first, how could I make Ji'er go shopping like an ordinary child? What if something happens? But later I discovered that Ji'er has become much happier because of this shopping. She is like a little bird, chattering and telling me about her shopping. After saying many things several times, I realized that Zhang Xuan actually did a good thing, so I gave him some reward without authorization."

"Hmph! That little girl is not happy one day, do you still need to go shopping?"

Having said that, Yang Guang's expression obviously slowed down a lot, and he finally felt a little fond of Zhang Xuan, "Well, I won't blame him this time."

Empress Xiao advised softly again: "Actually, I want to persuade Your Majesty again. You are already thirteen years old. As the crown prince of the Great Sui Dynasty, has Your Majesty never considered giving him a group of people he trusted and that after he ascends the throne in the future, he will become his right-hand man?"

Although Queen Xiao's tone was very gentle, she knew her husband very well. She knew what her husband had not thought about it carefully, so she could always talk about the key points.

Empress Xiao’s words immediately made Yang Guang feel enlightened. Yes! Why didn’t he think about reserving talents for Changsun?

"Your Majesty, so this Zhang Xuan is actually very good, right!" Queen Xiao smiled slightly.

Yang Guang held his wife's hand, and the two were in harmony. Yang Guang no longer showed the emperor's arrogance in front of his wife. He nodded slowly, "I know it in my heart."

For emperors, balancing the interests of all parties is the first priority. A qualified emperor must first be a qualified bricklayer. Being good at mixing with others is a necessary quality. After Yang Guang became an emperor for ten years, he had already learned the art of balance.

The Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant bloody case is just a small case. The case itself has little impact and most people don’t know it. However, the game result triggered by this case has a great impact. That afternoon, Yang Guang issued an edict to give a lighter punishment for the bloody case.

According to the edict, Li Gang made the final judgment. Although Luo Shixin failed to kill someone, he was given a lighter punishment because of his merits in quelling the rebellion. He suggested that the Ministry of War return his application to be promoted to the rank of the lieutenant, maintain his position as the brigade commander, and demoted him to the rank of Shouyiwei. The rest will not be pursued. Yuwen Shu signed a settlement document, and the case was settled.

But Yang Guang then issued another imperial edict, which seemed to have nothing to do with this small case, but the parties involved understood the subtleties. There were three contents of the imperial edict. The first was to restore the position of Yuwen Shu as the General of the Right Guard and change his punishment to a three-year salary; the second was that because Yu Chuo participated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Yu Shiji was removed from his position as the Minister of War and only served as the Minister of the Ministry of War. The position of the Minister of the Eunuch was taken over by Xiao Yu.

The third article is related to Zhang Xutuo. Yang Guang canceled the accountability for Zhang Chengjin's failure in the battle and ordered the local government to ensure the supply of food and grass for the Feiying Army.

In addition, one hour after Yang Guang issued the second imperial edict, Zhang Xuan also received a formal appointment letter from the Ministry of War. He was officially promoted to the seventh-rank crown prince Qianniu and Xuan Huiwei. That afternoon, Zhang Xuan received a small box sent by Empress Xiao. The box was Yang Ji'er's jade hairpin. Empress Xiao's mother still fulfilled her daughter's little wish.

A small fight case, everyone was happy in the end. Except for Yu Shiji, who had nothing to do with this case, of course, if he was satisfied with the "Rain Post" he would not suffer much loss.

Politics itself is the art of compromise.

At night, Zhang Xutuo specially set up a banquet in an elegant room on the east building of Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant. One was to be shocked by his disciple Luo Shixin, and even to thank Zhang Xuan for his great help.

Luo Shixin was released in the afternoon. At the same time, Zhang Xutuo received a notice from the Ministry of War that the emperor no longer held Jibei County responsible for the defeat, and ordered him to return to Qi County to continue to combat the bandits. In addition, the imperial decree also required the counties in Shandong to ensure the military rations of the Feiying Army, which solved another extremely headache-inducing problem for Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xutuo got the news from the general Lai Huer. This was because of the result that King Yan Yang Neng had strongly requested. Zhang Xutuo knew it clearly. King Yan had lived in the deep palace for a long time, so he would not know his own difficulties. This must be the result of Zhang Xuan's efforts behind his back.

Zhang Xutuo was full of gratitude to Zhang Xuan. He raised the wine bowl and said, "My body is injured by an old wound. The military doctor strictly prohibits me from drinking, but I must drink this bowl of wine to express my gratitude to Mr. Zhang."

After saying that, he picked up the wine bowl and wanted to drink it all. Zhang Xuan hurriedly grabbed him, "I have received the Grandmaster's intentions, but I have an old disease in my body. If you can't drink, don't force me, otherwise Zhang Xuan will feel guilty."

Luo Shixin next to him smiled and picked up the wine bowl and said, "Why don't I drink it for my master!"

Qin Qiong patted the back of his head, "Boy, you should respect Mr. Zhang as well, don't try to get away with it."

Luo Shixin scratched the back of his head and said without any worries: "Brother Qin, don't say it through! How embarrassed I'm to say it through."

Everyone laughed suddenly, and You Junda handed the small cup to Zhang Xutuo, "Master, why don't you use the small cup to toast!"

Everyone advised the Grand Marshal not to force himself, and Zhang Xuan also smiled and said, "If the Grand Marshal really thanks me, Zhang Xuan, you don't have to drink. As long as I work as a subordinate of the Grand Marshal one day in the future, the Grand Marshal will be fine if he doesn't hit me."

Everyone laughed, but Zhang Xutuo said very seriously: "If Mr. Zhang comes to serve in my Feiying Army, Zhang Xutuo will definitely go out a hundred miles to greet him, but--"

A smile appeared on his face again, "But if the military order is violated, the board will be beaten as soon as possible. Since the board is to be beaten as expected, we must toast now. I will toast Mr. Zhang three glasses of wine."

He poured three glasses of wine and drank them all in one go. Zhang Xuan hurriedly responded to three glasses. Zhang Xutuo asked happily again: "Young Master really plans to serve in our army?"

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly, "The King of Yan promised that he would let me serve in the Xiaoguo Army soon. Although I also hope to go to the Feiying Army, whether I can go or not is another matter."

Zhang Xutuo nodded and said sincerely: "It's best if you can come. Our army does lack a general with both wisdom and courage."

Zhang Xuan said ashamedly: "My martial arts skills are so low, how can I talk about the word "courage"?"

"If Brother Zhang goes to the Feiying Army, I will be responsible for learning martial arts."

Luo Shixin jumped up like a monkey, "I can guarantee that Brother Zhang's martial arts skills have surpassed Yuyasha in three years."

You Junda narrowed his eyes and grabbed his ear, "Who do you think is Yasha?"

Luo Shixin was so painful that his tongue was trembling, "I mean You...Brother, it hurts! Let go!"
