Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 42
Li Mu and Yang Guang sang together, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to get to the point.Yang Guang said that it is inconvenient to punish Yang Lin, the backer king, since the backer king left you a mess, so let's do it, you think of a remedy.

What is the remedy? Naturally, it is necessary to hold martial arts. Through martial arts, these people with extraordinary courage will be selected to supplement the marching army.

"Your Majesty, I think this must be a martial arts exercise." Li Mu cupped his hands and said what Yang Guang was thinking.

"Your Majesty, this martial art must never be allowed."

"The generals in the army are all promoted step by step. How can they be called generals without much military merit?" Before Li Mu finished speaking, he heard Yu Shinan stand up.

Yu Shinan is now the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the Yu family is a clan in the north, so his words still carry a lot of weight.

In the eyes of these elites in the world, the imperial examinations cannot be held. Since the imperial examinations cannot be held, it is best not to hold the martial arts examinations.After all, once the martial arts examination is held, it is inevitable that some people will have the unrealistic idea of ​​reopening the imperial examination.

At this time, in fact, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew it well.Here and there is Li Mu impeaching the backer king, and it is likely that Li Mu and Yang Guang are singing the double reed.

"Everyone, if you don't start martial arts, how can you fill the vacant positions in the army?" Li Mu asked rhetorically.

With regard to military matters, most of these civil servants know nine out of ten, and they don't know anything, so naturally they can't explain why.

These civil servants in the court faltered and hawed, but they didn't agree with the martial arts, but no one proposed a solution to the problem.

"Where is the Minister of War?" At this time, Yang Guang suddenly asked.

The current Shangshu of the Ministry of War is surnamed Li, and his name is Li Yuantong.This person was promoted after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, and he was considered a member of a half-family.

Why is it said that Li Yuantong is a member of a half-family? As we all know, the Li family is also one of the best among the powerful families in the Sui Dynasty.Li Yuantong's father named him Li Jing, who is a branch of the Li family.

But Li Yuantong's background is not right, he is the child of Li Jing and the maid after drinking.Li Yuantong was given away by Li Jing just after he was born.Until now, Li Yuantong still did not recognize his ancestors.Therefore, this Li Yuantong can only be regarded as half of the family.

Although the official position of Minister of the Ministry of War is not small, no one in an ordinary family is willing to take this position.Why, because this is an empty title, and now the military power outside the Great Sui Dynasty is in the hands of Kai Sui Nine Elders, and the military power in Daxing City is in the hands of General Tiance, Li Mu.

The position of Minister of the Ministry of War is now a bit of real power, and he has to be blamed from time to time. He is really a mouse in the bellows, and he gets angry at both ends.

No, Yang Guang calls Li Yuantong's name now.It is to let Li Yuantong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, come out and take the blame.

When Yang Guang yelled, Li Yuantong couldn't help but shuddered, thinking, I'm so fucking wronged.

"Minister, Li Yuantong is here." Although Li Yuantong wanted to disagree, he didn't dare, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.

"Li Yuantong, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War. Your Ministry of War should have proposed a plan for promotion in the army. Let me ask you, what can you do?" Yang Guangli asked in a voice.

"My mother is coming, it's a disaster." Li Yuantong wailed in his heart, and he said in his heart, now you will think of me as the Minister of the Ministry of War.Usually whoever takes me seriously, when it's time to take the blame, you always think of me.My lord, you are trying to trick me to death.

Li Yuantong felt distressed in his heart at this meeting, he naturally knew what Yang Guang meant by calling him, this was to let him stand up and support the martial arts.

He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and this matter is also a matter of the Ministry of War.As long as he stands up and supports the martial arts on the surface, then these civil servants are making trouble for no reason if they continue to make trouble.

Li Yuantong pondered, he was weighing the pros and cons.He thought to himself, if he agrees to the martial arts, then the powerful and aristocratic family will not be able to spare him.However, he, Minister of the Ministry of War, was promoted by Yang Guang. If he didn't support Yang Guang's decision, I'm afraid it would be light for Yang Guang to push him down. Maybe he would find an excuse to let him accompany the late emperor.

If Yang Guang wanted to deal with him, Li Yuantong didn't think that the ruthless Li family would protect him, an abandoned son.

After thinking about it for three years, Li Yuantong secretly made up his mind.In this case, he might as well hug Yang Guang's thigh tightly, maybe he will have a prosperous day.

Li Yuantong gritted his teeth, and said bravely: "I think the general's suggestion is appropriate. As the saying goes, those who can go up, those who can't go down, and those with high martial arts skills are the generals. Naturally, this is all right."

As soon as Li Yuantong said this, a group of civil servants glared at each other immediately.Li Yuantong, the minister of the Ministry of War, agreed with it. If they were against it, they would be meddling in their own business.

At this time, everyone looked at Fan Zigai one after another, as if they wanted Fan Zigai's idea.Recently, Fan Zigai has been very active in the matter of ranting against Yang Guang. At this time, everyone naturally looked at him subconsciously.

As soon as Fan Zigai saw that everyone was looking at him, he thought to himself, it's time for my old Fan to show his face again.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fan Zigai strode out, and said to Yang Guang neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, if martial arts are really used, the selection of talents will be based on merit, using force to determine superiority, and superiority to determine official positions? "

After Fan Zigai asked, Yang Guang looked at Li Mu and motioned for Li Mu to answer.After all, this proposal was obviously proposed by Li Mu, and this question was naturally answered by Li Mu.

"It's natural. As the saying goes, there is nothing first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. The level of military power is the best to compare, so we use the ranking order of this martial arts competition to fill the vacancies in the army." Li Mu said seriously.

Fan Zigai was delighted when he heard this.Why did Fan Zigai have such an expression?In fact, he is also paying attention to himself.

Originally, the army could not be entered by the water run by the Jiulao of the Kaisui Dynasty, and these official positions were also the cakes of the generals.Now that Li Mu is going to hold a martial arts exam, this is also a good opportunity for civil officials like them to place cronies in the army.

"General, I have a grandson who is very skilled in martial arts. I wonder if he can participate in the martial arts exam?" Fan Zigai asked.

Li Mu nodded and said: "Only talent, anyone can do it."

When Fan Zigai heard this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, I also support the martial arts."

Fan Zigai had already stated the matter so straightforwardly, and the rest of the civil servants naturally understood what Fan Zigai meant, so they didn't try to stop him.

After the early morning, in the royal study.

"Aiqing, you must not let people like Fan Zigai gain military power, do you have a plan?" Yang Guang asked.

Li Mu said confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never let a son of a powerful family enter the army. Since they want to participate in the martial arts, then find someone to beat them back."

People from aristocratic families can control the civil service system of the Sui Dynasty, and anyone who wants to enter this system must obtain their permission.Li Mu was also able to control the martial arts system, preventing any children from aristocratic families from entering.

This kind of thing of being both a goalkeeper and a referee, Li Mu's guarantee is more skillful than these aristocratic families.
