Chapter 305 The Emperor's In-person Recruitment

Yang Guang was worried about others, but he was very relieved about Li Yuan. This reassurance was not just because Li Yuan was his cousin, which was related to the world. Not to mention a cousin, even if Li Yuan was his biological brother, he would not be relieved about him because of this.

What really reassured Yang Guang was that Yang Guang thought he had seen through Li Yuan. Li Yuan had inherited the throne of Duke of Tang at the age of seven. When he was young, he was also a famous young man in Chang'an City. He was extremely handsome and very romantic. However, he later became an official and became a foreign official prefect for almost twenty years. However, his political achievements were very mediocre, even among the middle and lower classes. Later, he was transferred to Beijing and served as the young supervisor of the palace and the Minister of the Weiwei Temple. It can be said that he performed very mediocrely.

Even later, due to Yang Xuangan's rebellion, he temporarily gave Li Yuan great power, allowing him to control the troops of the 11 counties of Guanlong. That was a huge power. At that time, he became alert to Li Yuan, but Li Yuan's later performance relieved him. He held the troops of the 11 counties, but he only spent all day long. Not to mention the military preparations, he even spent very little time in the hall.

Now Li Yuan serves as the ambassador of Hedong to comfort the people, but he is just helping him supervise all officials in Hedong. Li Yuan was born into a noble family in Guanlong and an imperial relative, but he has no ability. Such conditions make Yang Guang attach great importance to this. In his opinion, Li Yuan has no ability or ambition, but his identity and family power can grow stronger in the short term and balance it with Yuwen and Pei. All he wants is a person who separates the power of Yuwen and Pei’s hands, and does not really want to support an ambitious person.

With Yang Guang's order, the Imperial Guards, Dali Temple, and Jingzhao Mansion were all dispatched quickly to close the city gates, close the palace gates, and close the doors and shops in various yards and cities. Military officials searched and cleaned them from door to door.

After the Jinwu Guard arrived, Chen Kefu and others quickly defeated the men in black. However, these people were very cruel and even committed suicide by taking poison when they were defeated. Although their identities could be found through the corpse in the end, after the death, it was impossible for them to track down the person behind them from their identities.

"Your Majesty, Dali Temple has been preliminaryly investigated. All the three hundred assassins involved in the assassination of Lord Chen are imperial guards, and they come from various troops of the Imperial Guards, including both the Xiaoguo Army and the Yulin Army, and the cavalry army. Even the foreign government soldiers in the camp outside the city. Except for most of the three hundred people who were shot dead on the spot, all the others committed suicide by taking poison. All the identities have been confirmed that the highest officer is just a gang leader, and these three hundred ***s are from ordinary people all over the world."

In the Liangyi Palace of Ziwei Palace, dozens of ministers had already summoned to the palace, and Yang Guang sat upright on the platform. At this time, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Xu Lang, an old minister over 60 years old, was reporting the latest situation to the emperor.

Chen Kefu, Su Wei, Yuwen Shu, Pei Yun, Pei Shiju and Yu Shiji, all six ministers who were in charge of the government came, and were sitting on the mat near Yang Guang. After a assassination, Chen Kefu sat there safely without anything.

In fact, when the Jinwu Guard arrived quickly, Chen Kefu had already judged that it was definitely not Yang Guang who wanted to kill him. If Yang Guang wanted to kill him, the Jinwu Guard would not have arrived so quickly. After deducing that it was not Yang Guang who wanted to kill him, Chen Kefu became a little happy.

If it weren't Yang Guang assassinating him, the result would be very simple. It was either Yuwen Shu, Pei Yun or Pei Shiju, but no matter which one it was, Chen Kefu had nothing to do. After this incident, he could believe that their assassination of dissidents would definitely anger Yang Guang. The next one would definitely suffer. Maybe his trip to Dongdu will be quite safe next.

"When the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and Henan Prefecture jointly investigate the case, the truth of the matter must be investigated within one month." Yang Guang glanced at the minister below and said coldly.

Several ministers who were named to the name were also aware of the fact that in the end, they could only find some unlucky people to die. It would be difficult to investigate the fact that so many guards could be dispatched to assassinate Chen Pojun.

Yang Guang glanced at them and saw their thoughts, but he didn't say a word. He wanted to use this matter to make a fuss. As for the truth of the matter, he didn't need to know. He was the emperor, and he was not talking about law or justice. He talked about the power and the way of checks and balances. Even if this matter really had nothing to do with Yuwen and Pei Val, Yang Guang would not let them go because of this.

"The Imperial Guard is my personal guard, but I did such an assassination of the important officials in the court, which really disappointed me. From now on, the Imperial Guard must thoroughly investigate." After a burst of thunderous anger, the Imperial Guard went to the palace to announce the Imperial.

"The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty ordered that the position of Yuwen Shu was transferred to the position of General of the Left Guard of the Ministry of War. Pei Yun was transferred to the position of Chief Censor of the Censorate and transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Su Wei was transferred to the position of Chief Censor of the Liaodong, and was appointed as the title of Minister of the Left Pushe. Li Yuan was appointed as the Ambassador of the Hedong, and was appointed as the title of Minister of the Taiyuan, and was appointed as the position of Minister of the State Council. In the land of Shiwei, a new county of the Wei Dynasty was built, a new county of the Wushan, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble mountain, a noble water guard, was appointed as the prefect of the four counties of the Wanshui, and a eleven county of the Wei Dynasty was appointed as the military of the eleven county of Wei. Fan Zi of the Jin Dynasty was left behind in Liaodong, and the general of the left Wugu was Pei Renji, a deputy subordinate to Liaodong..."

A long imperial edict involved nearly a hundred people's official positions at one time. At the very least, civil and military officials and generals above the fifth rank were also there. There was no news about such a mobilization in advance, which surprised all the ministers.

For the ministers in the court, this was simply an earthquake. The first emperor's imperial edict was Yuwen Shu, who was removed from his position as General Zuo Yigu and changed to the Minister of the Later Division. This was equivalent to directly eliminating his military power, and the imperial guards in the capital would no longer be under his jurisdiction in the future. Although he still had the title of being in charge of the government affairs, everyone knew that this meant that he had fallen out of favor in front of the emperor.

After Yuwen Shu listened to the order and thanked him, he suddenly stepped down. His face was extremely pale and his eyes were sitting on the mat. Now his heart was full of regret and fear. He didn't know what would be waiting for him next.

Pei Yun, the Censor, the third-rank official, but the Minister of Civil Affairs only had the third-rank official. This was an extremely bad signal. In the past, he was in charge of the Censorate, which was equivalent to a knife in Yang Guang's hand. If he didn't like anyone, he would follow Yang Guang's wishes and instruct the Censor to impeach the official. He was Yang Guang's dog, and he would bite whatever he asked him to bite him. Now Yang Guang did not let him bite people at once. He didn't know whether it was the new Censor's turn to bite him next.

Some people were worried and some were happy. Su Wei, who was covered in white hair, did not expect that after he was sent to Liaodong, he could return to the court again. He even ascended the position of Zuo Pushe, which was the real prime minister. He had been the Right Pushe and Nayan, but he had never been the Left Pushe position of the head of all officials. He had been above the Sui Dynasty for nearly thirty years, but he did not expect that he could still ascend to this position at this time. He was so excited that he almost fainted.

Li Yuan, who hurried into the palace, was also excited and trembling with his lips. He had been in the officialdom for decades, and had not expected that he would be promoted one after another in recent years, from a remote prefect to the center of the capital. Now, he has directly added Na Yan, and has also given the power to be in charge of the government and directly appointed as prime minister. Even his three sons have given him a considerable official position. From today on, he is the seventh prime minister in the court who is in charge of the government and the fourth prime minister.

Chen Kefu sat there watching the crowds being excited or frightened, but his heart was full of scent. Yang Guang added him a Shangshu Youpushe, which seemed to have been promoted. However, he removed the position of Liaodong left behind in his hands. Although he was still ignoring the military of Liaodong and the 11 counties of Shiwei, it was equivalent to being completely abandoned from Liaodong. On the one hand, he finally stayed in Liaodong as he wished, but was driven from Liaodong to Shiwei further away. What made him even more vigilant was that Pei Renji of the Pei family was actually transferred to Liaodong to Liaodong as the leader, which made him very worried. Liaodong had several generals, and now he added another one. This was undoubtedly Yang Guang wanted to completely pick him out of Liaodong.

Yang Guangchang stood up and asked the two eunuchs to display the map on the table in front of the ministers.

"Does Po Jun know the reason why I asked you to stay in Shiwei instead of being transferred to the capital to assist me immediately?"

Chen Kefu bowed, "Your Majesty has read the minister's words and asked me to live in the north of *** to restrain the troops and horses of ***, so that he would not dare to go south by chance."

"I am very pleased after reading this. With you here, it is the Great Wall of My Great Sui."

"It is the duty of the minister to defend the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty and to defend the territory of Your Majesty."

Yang Guang smiled a few times, "The friendship between the king and the minister is the most important thing. If you have this intention, I feel very relieved. If I ask you to take the initiative to attack *** after the New Year, transfer their troops to the north, and then I will lead the army to attack the Turks from the south, would you be willing to be my pioneer?"

Chen Kefu was stunned for a moment. The Turkic grassland was boundless and stretched for thousands of miles, and it also had the strong Turkic soldiers and horses at this time. He gave up the advantage of his city and fortress and the mountains and rivers were so steep that he took the initiative to go to the grassland to fight against the Turks. Isn’t this a nonsense? What’s more, if the bandits were not settled today, Yang Guang planned to fight in person. Isn’t this a self-destruction? Is Yang Guang really addicted to fighting in wars, and he always wants to fight in person? When he thinks of the result of his two personal expeditions to Goguryeo, Chen Kefu frowned.

"Your Majesty, the Turks are not Goguryeo. If you want to fight the Turks, you need to set up people in the back. If you are defending, you are not attacking!" Although Chen Kefu wished Yang Guang would destroy himself earlier, he was unwilling to see countless Han people in the Central Plains die innocently because of Yang Guang's wishes.
