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

Chapter 433 Building the Eastern Capital
Five surnames and seven hopes!

Li Mu's words directly stunned Yang Guang. Yang Guang felt that his head was "buzzing", and he couldn't understand Li Mu's meaning.

The aristocratic families of the Sui Dynasty were divided into three factions, the Guanlong Eight Great Families in the north, the Five Surnames Qiwang in the Central Plains, and the Jiangzuo gentry in the south.

In other words, the sphere of influence of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs is among the Eight Great Families of Guanlong and the Jiangzuo Gentlemen.

Among the three factions of the aristocratic families, the Guanlong Eight Families are the most powerful. Therefore, the five surnames Qiwang in the Central Plains are naturally closer to the Guanlong Eight Families.

The Eight Great Families of Guanlong in the north and Qiwang of the Five Surnames in the Central Plains are all in harmony. How could the Five Surnames and Qiwang help the Jiangzuo gentry?

But then again.Although the Guanlong Eight Families are powerful, if the five surnames Qiwang and the Jiangzuo gentry unite, they will really be able to break arms with them.

However, it is obvious that it is impossible for the five surnames and Qiwang to unite with the Jiangzuo gentry!

"Aiqing, is this a bit taken for granted?" Yang Guang asked Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, why are the powerful families able to fight against the imperial power together?"

"It's because they have common interests. As long as the interests are sufficient, they will naturally have the possibility of turning their faces."

Listening to Li Mu's words, Yang Guang realized that he didn't seem to be joking, and hurriedly asked, "Aiqing, what can you do?"

"Since the Jiangzuo gentry want to open a canal, let them open it. Not only will the canal be opened this time, Your Majesty, you also need to build the Eastern Capital, which will be built in Luoyang!"

"Your Majesty only needs to send a courtier to bring this matter up in the early court. As for whether the canal will be repaired or not, and whether the Eastern Capital will be built, all the courtiers will be free to discuss!"

"Your Majesty doesn't make a statement, so let them fight for themselves. If this matter has been debated for a long time, the powerful family will inevitably split!" Li Mu suggested to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang savored Li Mu's suggestion carefully, and after a long time, he slapped his thigh and said, "Wonderful, wonderful!"

"The general's plan is very clever, very clever."

What is the cleverness of Li Mu's strategy? The cleverness of this strategy lies in the fact that the construction of the canal and the construction of the eastern capital Luoyang are tied together.Then it is tantamount to binding the Jiangzuo gentry and the five surnames and Qiwang together.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is built. Where is Luoyang? On the border of Henan, it is the hinterland of the Central Plains.This is the territory of the Central Plains family, the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.

It is true that Luoyang is indeed a suitable place to set up a capital.But why was the capital of the Sui Dynasty established in the north?
Because, the north is the territory of the Eight Great Families of Guanlong, and before the Yang family became emperor, it was also one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms.It is precisely because of this that the capital was established in Daxing City in the northwest.

What does it mean to establish Luoyang, the eastern capital? This is to move the political center of the country to the Central Plains.In this way, the five surnames and Qiwang who are in the Central Plains are naturally the ones who benefit.

The Jiangzuo gentry benefited from the construction of the canal.The construction of Luoyang, the eastern capital, will benefit the five surnames and the seven.The two powerful families benefited, and in this way, they were able to work together to deal with the Eight Great Families of Guanlong.

Can be the boss, who wants to be the second child?
Once the eastern capital Luoyang is built and the political center of the country is moved from Daxing City to Luoyang City, then the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs will be able to replace the Guanlong Eight Great Families.

Building Luoyang, the eastern capital, is a killer move.And this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy that the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes cannot refuse.

Li Mu's strategy made Yang Guangmao suddenly enlightened, as long as someone made this suggestion in the court.Then, Yang Guang didn't need to nod or shake his head, the aristocratic family would start arguing.

The next day, above the court.

The quarrels of yesterday were obviously gone in today's court, and the civil servants and military generals stood in their respective positions, each of them looking very well-behaved.

No one mentioned the matter of building the canal yesterday. It seems that this matter has been resolved internally by the aristocratic family.

However, Yang Guang finally seized this opportunity, how could he let this matter pass easily.

I saw that Yang Guang gave his confidant Yu Wenhuaji a look, which means it's time for you to perform.

Yu Wenhuaji was crying in his heart, he knew that when he said these words later, those bastards of Guanlongba family would wish to eat him alive.

However, he, Yu Wenhuaji, was Yang Guang's close minister.To put it bluntly, it was Yang Guang's dog.Whoever Yang Guang told him to bite, he had to bite.

Yuwen Shiji stood up bravely and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhu Kuan proposed to build a canal yesterday, and Lord Xue Daoheng thought that it would be a waste of money and people. I thought hard all night, but I came up with a way to get the best of both worlds."

As soon as Yu Wenhuaji's words came out, everyone in the powerful family was stunned.They thought to themselves, what's wrong, we didn't mention this matter ourselves, why did Yu Wenhua and this kid find it out again.

Soon, everyone changed their minds, Yang Guang's number one leg is Li Mu, and the number two dog leg is Yu Wenhuaji.He came forward to mention this matter now, which was obviously instructed by Yang Guang.

At this time, the ministers of the powerful families in the court did not respond, they all looked at Yu Wenhuaji quietly, thinking to themselves, let's see what kind of moth this kid can make.

"Oh!"

"Tell me, Aiqing, what can you do?" Yang Guang asked Yu Wenhuaji.

At this time, even a fool in the court could see that the two monarchs and ministers were directing and acting in a big play.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the treasury of the Sui Dynasty is sufficient, and the expenditure for building the canal is sufficient. However, if it takes so much manpower and material resources to build only one canal, it will indeed be a waste of money and people."

"I think that Daxing City was built when the first emperor was just proclaimed emperor, and it has been 30 or [-] years now."

"According to the current prosperity of our Great Sui Dynasty, Daxing City is a bit shabby as the imperial capital. I suggest that while building the canal, we should build an eastern capital in Luoyang. In this way, we can spend the same money and do two things." , isn’t it beautiful!”

After Yu Wenhuaji finished speaking, a bean-sized drop of sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead.

Yu Wenhua was flustered, his legs were trembling, his words offended Guan Longba's family to the death.You know, even the royal family used to be one of the eight great families.

Now in the court, Xue Daoheng, Pei Yun and others are all disciples of the Eight Great Families of Guanlong.

The reason why the powerful family in the Great Sui Dynasty has such great power is precisely because the Yang family was originally the Eight Pillar Kingdom back then, which is now one of the Eight Great Families in Guanlong.

From the perspective of the other seven families, your Yang family is the same as ours, it's just that your Yang family is lucky and won the world.

It is precisely because of this that the Da Sui clan has such a powerful influence.
