Chapter 95

"I have something to do with you. Now General Yuwen has fully occupied Goguryeo, and the army is cultivating. Once the support arrives, he can lead his troops south to occupy Silla and Baekje. I intend to define the three countries as Goryeo County, and General Yuwen will be responsible for the county magistrate. Do you have any objections?"

Yang Jian was sitting on the golden dragon chaise, his hands were stroking the carved lifelike dragon inch by inch, closing his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

But this is how he gave a strong sense of oppression to the common ministers.

After hearing this, Guo Jia was shocked and secretly felt that "it's true" that this was a test, but it didn't count. It was just that when an emperor, he liked to test his ministers in this way. They liked to use it to judge whether the ministers were loyal, but there was no too much basis. It was just a kind of self-comfort that the emperor liked to be suspicious. The result of such a test would only kill loyal ministers by mistake. Who who has the opportunity to take the position of county magistrate is not a human skill? How could he not see such a trick?

The treacherous ministers have always judged the situation, advanced bravely, and never took risks. Even if the emperor really wanted to reward him, they would retreat for various reasons, while the loyal ministers would not. They would do their best to manage and build, and such a result would give the emperor the illusion of ill-thinking plots.

"No, Your Majesty, Liaoning County has a bad geographical location and extremely harsh grain harvest conditions. The people in the city live in poverty and are in a state of destruction. The senior brother is exhausted in order to improve such a dilemma and cannot be distracted from more positions. I hope Your Majesty will be able to give up and choose other talents to avoid having trouble in the clone and both places are delayed."

"Well, it's polite. Since that's the case, then elect wise men from the court. I want to use the Yalu River as a line to divide Goguryeo into two counties, namely Beigao County and Nangao County. Do you have the right candidates to elect?"

Yang Jian nodded calmly, very satisfied with Guo Jia's refusal. He pondered and turned his eyes to the civil and military officials.

"The father, emperor and son, believe that Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, was the best choice, whether it was civil, military, moral, talent, or character, or strategy. It would be better to avenge the Duke of Tang as the governor of a county."

Yang Guang was the first to come forward and said righteously.

Of course this is not to help Li Yuan. Yang Guang had long hated Li Yuan to the core, so how could he speak for him? He could do this to eliminate the authority of the Guanlong nobles, and secondly, he could put Li Yuan in the place where the alien barbarians like Goguryeo were located, so that Yuwen Cheng would clean up the old thing. He didn't think that Li Yuan, a cowardly old thing, would be his opponent of Yuwen Chengdu, his number one confidant minister, and maybe he could catch a handle to get rid of the annoying Li Yuan.

There are many such handles, almost a lot of them are caught. The alien race is not as obedient as the people of the Sui Dynasty, and they always riot and rebel.

Once this happens, Li Yuan is naturally the first to be the one who is guilty. He is really not talking on the surface and has more opportunities behind his back. Maybe one day he will be assassinated by a foreign race late at night. In short, he left the Central Plains and the sphere of influence of the Guanlong nobles. Li Yuan is just a soft persimmon to control whatever he wants.

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. What the prince said is a bit lacking in consideration? Although Duke Tang is capable of governing a county, how noble is Tang as Duke Tang is? How can he be sent to govern foreign tribes regardless of the face of the country? Isn't this showing that no one in the Sui Dynasty can be used? It is for nothing to make some sluts laugh at me for nothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a high-powered official who usually spoke silently, but his status made him even Yang Guang dare not ignore it.

"Guanger, this move is indeed inappropriate. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Yang Jian pondered for a while and shook his head.

"Then I recommend another person, Zhu Quangui, the governor of Longyou, is loyal and honest, but he is quite brave. Although he is not well-versed in marching and fighting, he is not well aware of the way to defend against border troubles. However, with the help of my Great Sui wall, General Yuwen, I think nothing is wrong."

Realizing that it was impossible to succeed in transferring Li Yuan, Yang Guang had to set his sights on the Guanlong Group, which was not so important, but was also the backbone of Longyou Governor.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Quangui is also well-known to the old minister. In the eyes of the old minister, his talent is not enough to defend against foreign tribes..."

Yang Guang wanted to touch the interests of himself and others? Of course, the Guanlong nobles disagreed. A large group of important officials jumped up and down, and they all united to say that this move was not feasible.

However, Yang Guang has always had no favoritism for these nobles. He is determined to suppress these nobles. How can he let go of such a rare opportunity now? He interrupted with a sneer without waiting for the gentry to finish speaking.

"Hmph...you all are all right. Since Zhu Quangui can manage Longyou in an orderly manner, can't he manage the barbarian land well? As for the defense against enemy invasion, you can just hand it over to General Yuwen. I believe that no one in the Sui Dynasty has more experience and strength than him."

Seeing this, Yang Jian didn't understand that this was another collision between the royal family and the Guanlong noble group. Naturally, there is no need to question what he should do as the emperor.

In fact, the reason why Yang Guang was able to receive Yang Jian's various respects was closely related to his determination to suppress the nobles at all times.

In the battle to destroy Chen, Yang Jian was blocked by various obstacles from the nobles. This made him extremely angry. It was from that moment that he made up his mind to suppress these big lords, and in his eyes, he did not care about the other scholarly families who were not concerned about anything except for the interests.

"Okay, Zhu Quangui will be the governor of Beigao County, and Yuwen Chengdu will assist in guarding the border to prevent the invasion of the thieves. Then, this important task of Nangao County will be handed over to Deng Tong, the grandson of General Deng. Are you dissatisfied?"

The Deng family is one of the powerful representatives of the Guandong nobles in Luoyang City. Yang Jian, who drank and slapped them in a deep and secret manner, immediately decided to suppress the Guanlong nobles and sold them to the Guandong nobles with a small benefit, so that they could avoid the union of both sides.

As expected, the important officials from Kanto all showed a surprise smile after hearing this. They actively cooperated with Yang Jian and praised him repeatedly.

As for the people in Guanlong, they were unhappy and glared at the villain with a hatred, hoping to eat his meat and drink his blood.

But in front of Yang Jian, he did not dare to do too much, and he did not dare to disobey openly. He could only give in and give in without saying anything.

There is no doubt that the biggest winner is Yuwen Chengdu. Not only was he conferred the title of General of the East, but he also received a marquis. Even Guo Jia and the others also received a miscellaneous general. However, this is secondary. The most important thing is that he has received 50,000 troops for nothing. Even if he is given a certain amount of time, even Yuwen Chengdu is confident of fooling them into his own people.

As for those two county magistrates?

Yuwen Cheng both said that their life and death were only in his own thoughts.

Don't believe it?

You, a Han man, manage the people of Goguryeo, but they are dissatisfied with it, and some riots or something are too reasonable.
