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

Chapter 457 Undercurrent surges! ! !

The six ministries belong to the lower implementing agency, while the three provinces are the higher government order issuing agencies.

It is equivalent to saying that the six departments are for the people, while the three provinces are for the monarch.The power of the six ministries comes from the people, and the power of the three provinces comes from the monarch.

In the feudal dynasty, the power of the monarch is naturally greater than that of the people.In other words, as long as the three provinces and the emperor maintain the same direction, then his power will be great.

However, here comes the problem.Can Guan Longmen clan and Yang Guang maintain unity in the general direction?This is impossible, not to mention maintaining unity in the general direction, it is absolutely impossible for them to maintain unity in some minor details.

Since it is impossible for Yang Guang to maintain the same general direction as the Guanlongmen faction, what is the point of this exchange?

The Guanlongmen faction gave up the powerful official positions in the six departments in exchange for a bunch of tasteless official positions in the three provinces.

Guan Longmen Clan, what exactly is this plotting?

"General, tell me, what is the Guanlongmen Clan trying to do?"

"Isn't this kind of exchange making me a rat in a bellows, being pissed off at both ends? Being manipulated by His Majesty, but also being manipulated by the Jiangzuo nobles and the five surnames and Qiwang!" Xu Maogong asked Li Mu.

Li Mu's face was a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "If the three provinces and the emperor are in the same step, then these official positions are not worthless!"

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, Xu Maogong immediately said, "This is impossible."

"Wait, General, do you mean that the powerful family wants to rebel?"

Xu Maogong's expression was very surprised. After all, in this era, rebellion is not just talk.The most important thing is to rebel now, the powerful family has no chance of winning!
They don't have military power in their hands, so why should they rebel?

After Li Mu read the dossier sent by Xu Maogong, this suspicion arose in his heart. The powerful family might want to rebel.

Otherwise, such an exchange of the Guanlongmen Clan would be meaningless at all.Only if the emperor and the three provinces kept pace, the official positions won by the Guanlongmen Clan would make sense.

However, at this time Li Mu was also wondering, why do these grandsons want to rebel?

Now, the entire military strength of Daxing City is in Li Mu's hands, and even more than half of the soldiers and horses in the world are in Li Mu's hands.

The aristocratic family is rebelling now, why?Although they have family guards, they may have secretly kept bandits like Zhai Rang in captivity, but these people, in the eyes of Li Mu's army, are all local chickens and dogs.

"Don't worry about whether they have the strength to rebel, judging from the current intelligence, they must have the intention to rebel."

"Maybe they are just planning in secret now, laying the groundwork in secret, but once they have the opportunity, they will definitely make a move!"

"Military division, check, ask your subordinates to check the root for me!" Li Mu immediately ordered.

Now Li Mu and Yang Guang are both prosperous, and both are hurt.If Yang Guang really fell, although Li Mu could protect himself, his life would definitely not be as comfortable as it is now.

"Yes!" Xu Maogong clasped his hands and asked Li Mu, "General, do you want to check the army?"

Since the aristocratic family wanted to rebel, who gave them the courage, and whether it was someone in the army who had colluded with them.

Although most of the people in the army can be trusted, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
"It's fine to investigate, but the main target of the investigation is still the aristocratic family, so you must find out the context of this matter for me!" Li Mu ordered.

At this time, Li Mu was actually a little flustered.Because, according to the history of his previous life, Yang Guang was on his way to tour Jiangdu after his death and the completion of the canal construction.

Although the formal construction of the canal has not yet started, the project has already been approved, and exploration has already begun.

If we look at it according to the historical trajectory, is it true that the day when the canal was built was the day when Yang Guang died?

For a moment, Li Mu even doubted whether the canal should be built or not, and whether Dongdu should be built.

However, who can say anything about history?
Even if the canal is not built, will Yang Guang really not die?All this is unknown.

It has to be said that Li Mu was a little hard to resist the sudden method of the powerful family.It's easy to hide an open spear, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow. Li Mu's biggest confusion now is that he hasn't figured out the tactics of the powerful family.

"Investigate, we must investigate all of this clearly, and the truth will come to light!" Li Mu made up his mind secretly.

That night.

Daxing City, among the secret strongholds of powerful families.

In front of a desk lit with faint candles, sat three figures shrouded in black robes.

All three of them were dressed in black and masked their faces. If they were distinguished from the appearance alone, even if the mother came, they would not be able to tell who they were.

These three people represent the Guanlongmen Clan, the Jiangzuo Gentlemen and the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs respectively.

As expected by Li Mu, everything that happened in Daxing City in the past three months was just a grand drama jointly performed by the Guanlongmen Clan, Jiangzuo Gentlemen, Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.

In fact, at this time, the aristocratic family also understood that although the construction of the canal, the construction of the Dongdu can greatly enhance the rights of the Jiangzuo gentry and the five surnames and Qiwang.

However, after the Guanlongmen Faction is over, the next ones will probably be the Jiangzuo nobles and the five surnames and Qiwang.

The conflict of interests between the aristocratic family and the imperial power is inevitable, but now that Yang Guang has the help of Li Mu, he has firmly gained the upper hand, which makes the aristocratic family very uneasy.

"Cough cough!" There was a slight cough, and the person sitting on the main seat squeezed his throat and said, "We have already given up the official positions of the Sixth Ministry. According to the agreement, you have to hand over all the military power that you each secretly hold!"

"Everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. Now that the agreement has been signed, it is natural to follow. Within three months, the military power that everyone secretly holds will be handed over to you Guanlongmen Clan for overall planning!" said the man in black on the left.

"You Guanlongmen faction are not at a loss in this transaction. Now that you have a part of the military power, you will also appoint the future emperor." The black-robed man on the right laughed.

"Hmph, it's not a loss if you can drive Yang Guang down from the throne!" The black-robed man in the middle said in a deep voice.

"With this amount of troops, rebellion is not enough. We still have to use our means secretly to try to buy low-level officers for our use."

"Even if the middle and high-level military officers are loyal to Li Mu, can the low-level centurions and thousand commanders be so loyal to Li Mu?"

"Money touches people's hearts, so we will start to buy from the lowest level officers."

Under the faint light, the three people were discussing in secret, each of them represented a side of power, obviously, the aristocratic family was really preparing for the rebellion.

The families of the aristocratic families were fighting on the surface, but in fact they had already huddled together again.Moreover, they are going to give it a go this time, to drive Yang Guang from the throne, and then support a puppet emperor.
