Chapter 65 Killing Yuwen

After leaving the suburbs of Chang'an, Yang Guang abandoned his carriage and rode on horseback with Cui Che and Yang Xuangan.

With these two people assisting him, Yang Guang has an exciting feeling that the sky is high and the sky is high, the sky is high and the sky is high.

In other words, Li Mi had to be born next year, otherwise this little junior brother would defect to his two senior brothers, and Yang Guang would be assisted by Xu Wenyuan's three outstanding disciples Cui Che, Yang Xuangan, and Li Mi. There would be no need to worry about the Sui Dynasty being unable to consolidate forever.

Of course, now that Brother Che and Yang Xuangan are both civil and military, A Guang can also be said to have a profound blessing.

Not long after Yang Guang, Cui Che and their party left Chang'an, a bloody massacre began.

At this time, there were four nobles in the court, namely Yu Qingze, the internal history magistrate, Zuopushe and Nayan Gaojue, the minister, Yang Xiong, the right-guard general who was in charge of the palace and the Imperial Palace, Taichang Qing, and the prince Shaobao Su Wei.

Yang Xiong was born in the Yang family of Hongnong, regardless of whether Yang Jian's ancestors were from the Shandong Han clan, but since he recognized this family lineage, Yang Xiong was able to show his status as a clan member.

Su Wei is the son of Su Chuo, Yuwentai's minister.

Yu Qing, the internal historian, understood Yang Jian's intentions and persuaded him to kill all the Northern Zhou clan.

Yang Jian had a deep hatred for the Yuwen family. When he first came to power as prime minister, he was often assassinated by the clan. Yu Qing saw this and made this initiative.

Yu Qingze's proposal won the support of Gao Jiong and Yang Xiong. Su Wei would not get involved in this kind of thing. He was also an aide to the prime minister's office at the beginning, but when he heard that Yang Jian wanted to give in, he actually abandoned his post and went home.

Therefore, Su Wei would not be invited to plan the massacre of the previous clan.

But there was still one person arguing hard, it was Li Delin, another internal historian.

Li Delin had made great achievements. When Liu Fang and Zheng Yi tried to share power with Yang Jian, it was Li Delin who first proposed to worship Yang Jian as prime minister, pretending to be Huang Yue, and supervising all Chinese and foreign military forces.

Yang Jian did not hesitate to repay him. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was appointed as the Order of Internal History, and he and Yu Qingze were jointly in charge of the Ministry of Internal History.

But now he opposed the slaughter of the Northern Zhou clan, which made Yang Jian change his color and reprimanded:

"You are just a scholar, not qualified to discuss important matters!"

Driving away those who objected meant that no one would object anymore, and the butcher's knife hanging over the heads of the Northern Zhou clan finally fell.

It was not that Li Delin was unaware of Yang Jian's determination, but Emperor Wu of Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, was very kind to him. He still heard his praises in the past that "the only benefit of equalization lies in you", so how could he sit back and watch his descendants being slaughtered.

He also knew that from today on, he would be alienated from Yang Jian and it would be difficult to advance in his position, but Li Delin had no regrets.

At the end of the day, the road in front of the palace was paved with blood, and all the branches of the former royal family were slaughtered.

Five months later, people were looking for successors to the young emperor Yuwen Chan, and the people they found were all descendants of Yuwen Tai's father and cousin of Yuwen Hu.

Just because all the relatives within the fifth server were killed.

I don't know which government office the people are cleaning the road, doing their work carelessly.

Li Delin walked back home on the bloodstains and fell into deep self-blame.

Perhaps if Liu Fang, Zheng Yi and Yang Jian were allowed to share power, the consequences would not have been as bad as they are today.

The affairs in Chang'an City have nothing to do with Cui Che for the time being. Of course he knew about Yang Jian's bloody massacre of the former clan on behalf of the Zhou Dynasty. This was one of the reasons why he agreed to go to Bingzhou with Yang Guang.

Yu Wenyong was very kind to Li Delin, and Cui Che was also very kind to him. If it weren't for Yu Wenyong, Brother Che would still be shepherding sheep in Northern Xinjiang.

However, due to the relationship between the Dou family's daughters, Cui Che had the obsession to be granted the title of Duke. He could not risk his future for a group of people who were destined to die, so he could only stay away.

Although Li Delin is worthy of praise, it can only be said that everyone has his own choice. If Cui Che's words have enough weight to save the Yuwen family, he may stay in Chang'an to support Li Delin, but he can only be out of sight and out of mind.

Cui Che has nothing to blame himself for. The kindness he has received is far inferior to that of Yuwen's in-laws, such as the Dou family.

None of his in-laws were prominent, and Cui Che had no relatives and no reason to do so, so there was no reason to ruin his great future for the sake of the Northern Zhou clan. This future was earned by him at the risk of his life.

The group of people arrived at the border of Hedong County. The governor of Hedong County learned the news early and brought a group of county officials to greet them.

Cui Che caught a glimpse of Pei Xiu in the crowd. He was wearing a ninth-grade official uniform, but he was standing right next to the county guard. It was obvious that the Hedong county guard had done enough homework.

Previously, Cui Che thought he could reunite with Pei Xiu in Chang'an, but he didn't expect Yang Guang to be sent to Bingzhou in such a hurry, but instead they met in Hedong.

The governor of Hedong County diligently stepped forward to greet everyone one by one. The team of staff brought by Yang Guang should not be underestimated. Not to mention Chief Shi Cui Che and Sima Yang Xuangan, Si Lu Gao Hongde, who was under Chief Shi and Sima, was not mentioned.

, that is, the second son of Gao Jiong.

No matter which one he, a county guard, could neglect.

Gao Hongde and Cui Che were also old acquaintances. On the first day when he was on duty at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cui Che was brought back to the house by Gao Jiong and introduced to him his three sons so that they could get closer in the future, including Gao Hongde.

Yang Guang exchanged pleasantries with the governor of Hedong County, and then said hello to Pei Xiu behind him before getting down to business. He hoped that the governor of Hedong County could bear the pain and let Pei Xiu go to the Bingzhou Governor's Office.

The governor of Hedong County recruited Pei Xiu with the intention of marrying Cui Che. Now that the King of Jin asked for it, he would not be a bad person and agreed on the spot. Yang Guang immediately worshiped Pei Xiu as the secretary to join the army and ordered his general

The eighth-grade official uniform that had been prepared long ago was given to him.

The reason Cui Che was able to join the army as a record officer and rank seventh was because he served in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was not comparable to that of the General Manager's Mansion.

The governor of Hedong County had already set up a banquet in Wenxi County to welcome everyone, and Yang Guang and others also went to the appointment with honor.

The reason why he served Yang Guang and his team so carefully was because he faced his immediate superior.

The Bingzhou Governor's Office does not only have jurisdiction over Bingzhou.

After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty established many general offices in Guandong, among which Luozhou, Bingzhou and Xiangzhou were the most valuable. Among them, the general office of Bingzhou was responsible for the military administration of 24 states, covering the entire west of the Taihang Mountains and the eastern boundary reaching the Taihang Mountains.

Jingxingkou.

Of course, there is no need to be surprised by the number of twenty-four states. Due to years of war, in order to strengthen the central government's control over local areas, the states have been continuously subdivided since the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Up to now, there are 211 states in Jiangbei alone.

, but there are only 508 counties and 1124 counties.

The subdivision of local areas can certainly strengthen the centralization of power, but it will also bring about the negative consequences of increasing a large number of administrative agencies and increasing the financial burden. We cannot learn from the Northern Wei Dynasty and let officials work in vain.

Before Cui Che and others left Chang'an, Gao Xi and Su Wei were already planning for Yang Jian to change the local zoning system, changing the three-level administrative divisions of state, county, and county to state and county, and abolishing county-level administration.

Streamlining the administrative structure will naturally reduce financial pressure.

But the placement of county-level officials is even more of a problem. The subordinates can ignore it, but the chief official must make other arrangements. This is also the reason for dismissing counties, not states. Most state-level officials are feudal officials, compared with county officials.

Level officials are easy to place.

It's just that the scope of this matter is too wide, and it has not yet been openly discussed.
