The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 389 Ascension to the throne, more and more worries

Yang Tong has ascended the throne!
This news swept across like a tidal wave. Although it was expected, the world was still shaken by it. As the prince of Qin, ruling the country and the emperor sitting on the rivers and mountains are completely different things. The impact on the Sui Dynasty on the world is completely different. Qin Wang On behalf of Yang Tong, he is equal to the southern princes. Even if Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, and Xiao Mian become emperors, the people will not say that their status is higher than that of the Qin king, because under the premise that the Sui Dynasty still exists, they are always the rebels of the Sui Dynasty; After Dong ascended the throne, the status of these people was even more incomparable. If the Sui Dynasty was weak, everyone would not care about it, but at this time, the Great Sui had already unified the north and became the most powerful force in the world, which also made people feel great. The Sui Dynasty has made a comeback, but after these years of subtle influences and the artificial dissemination of various policies that benefit the people, the word "violent Sui" has long been erased from the people of all forces, and the only thought of the people is to treat each other Yearning for the New Deal, even suspecting that it is not true. Hundreds of years have passed like this, making the common people feel that being exploited by aristocratic families is a matter of course. It is for this reason that while yearning for the policies of the Great Sui Dynasty, Also doubtful.

Yang Tong himself cannot see, hear, or feel the people's opinions, thoughts, and opinions, and even if he hears them, he can't take them into account.He just wants to completely stabilize the north by ascending the throne, and re-brand Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and Liaodong as the Great Sui, so that the northern people can officially become the people of the Great Sui, and let the civil and military Dawei strives for the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Tong's naming of the year as "Shengwu" is also telling the people of the world: Although the country name is still the Great Sui Dynasty, it is actually very different from the old Sui Dynasty. Today's Great Sui Dynasty was brought down by Yang Tong with one knife and one shot The country is not inherited from the hands of Emperor Wen Yang Jian and Emperor Wu Yang Guang. He obtained the country by force and governed the northern land with sacred benevolence. He has nothing to do with the two emperors Wen and Wu. supreme prestige.

The princes from all over the world didn't say a word about Yang Tong's ascension to the throne, they seemed to dismiss Yang Yu's enthronement, and they seemed to be secretly panicking, but no matter what they thought or interpreted, they could only keep their thoughts in their hearts, because at this time Yang Tong, Yang Tan who proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang was not weak and deceitful:
First, Yang Tong not only has the edict written in blood by Emperor Wu Yang Guang, but also the Jade Seal passed on to the country. Jurisprudentially speaking, he is the third generation of the Sui Dynasty, which means that he is a senior, and his name is justified;
Second, the princes of the world are united vertically and horizontally. With the current background of the Sui Dynasty, they are not afraid of them at all. What's more, how can the princes of all walks of life combine together for the internal affairs of the Sui Dynasty?They are currently thinking about strengthening their own strength, and after unifying the south, they will fight against the Great Sui Dynasty, so as to realize the dream of dividing the north and unifying the world.

Dou Jiande, Xiao Xian, Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, Li Zitong, and Lin Shihong all secretly sent envoys to present important gifts. Although they did not claim to be ministers, they expressed their willingness to live in peace with each other.

Especially Xiao Mian's envoy, Cen Wenwen, has the idea of ​​forming an alliance. Although Xiao Mian is weak, he is not an idiot. Li Yuan, Li Mi, and Wang Shichong are all heroes. The multi-country war on the ground means that everyone intends to kill him and let Xiliang country out first.Although his Xiliang Kingdom is very rich, the generals have their own ideas and the army is not strong enough to fight against all the vicious tigers and wolves. For the sake of the foundation, he is even willing to remove the country's title and stand on his own by respecting the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Tong is very busy now, so he doesn't have time to meet and reply, but he also asked the Minister of Rites, Pei Renji, to comfort him.

As for Wang Shichong and Li Mi, the two heroes of the Central Plains, not only the gifts were the heaviest, but the standards of the envoys were also high. They were led by King Cai Wang Qianshou of Zheng State and Bing Yuanzhen of Wei State Nayan.

However, Yang Tong also did not conduct an interview. For the Sui Dynasty, these princes were all rebels, and their status was completely unequal. If he was the first to meet these people, he would reduce his status to the same level as the rebels.

This may seem pretentious, but it is true, because Yang Tong is not a self-made man, let alone relying on rebellion to get to his current status. He is the orthodox with the right root, and the other princes are all the grass-headed kings.

Five days after enthronement!
Yang Tong finally calmed down and gradually adapted to the role of emperor. Just as Xiao Wu said, even if he became emperor, the changes in the palace are not great. I'll change my name to '望', everything else seems to be the same, and Yang Tong doesn't care about some minor changes.

If you think about it carefully, it's actually just a change in role.

Different stages of life play different roles in life. Parents are children, lovers are partners, and children are parents.In front of his subjects, Yang Tong's role also changed step by step, from the puppet king of Yue to the king of Qin, and from the king of Qin to the current emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

now.

Officials from all over the country have already left one after another, Yecheng gradually returned to normal, and the envoys from various countries are provided with delicious food and drink in the post house, but Yang Tong still has no time to meet them.

Chaoyang Hall.

Yang Tong was discussing with the important officials, he saw Yang Gongren's serious face was full of smiles when he came, and said speechlessly: "Caibao, it's been three days and you're still laughing, I almost suspect that you're dizzy. "

"Haha! The Holy Majesty is enthroned, and everything is justified, who is not happy?" Fang Xuanling beside him couldn't help it.

Now that there is an emperor in the Sui Dynasty, various departments have officially become the administrative system of the imperial court, and the level has risen from a "small" force to a national level.That is to say, Yang Tong's ascension to the throne is not his personal affair, but is already related to the stability of the entire regime.

Yang Tong used to exercise the power of the emperor as the king of Qin before. He didn't feel much about it, but the perceptions of the courtiers were different. Although the three provinces, nine ministries, and eight monasteries were all established, there was always a sense of dishonesty and theft of official positions, and they always felt inferior. Everyone has a head, so whether it is the royal family or the ruling and opposition parties, they all hope that Yang Tong will officially ascend the throne and end this embarrassing and abnormal state.

With Yang Tong's ascension to the throne, this embarrassing situation no longer exists, and everything has become more formal. Officials and soldiers have goals and motivation to fight for, and their spirit and spirit are far from what they used to be.

This spiritual change——

Yang Tong could feel it.

Only now did Yang Tong understand the gold content of "righteousness and integrity" in ancient times.

"I am the emperor, what must I do next?" Yang Tong asked with a smile.

The Chaoyang Hall is not the Chaotian Temple, nor is it the inner pilgrimage hall after the Chaotian Temple. This is just a side hall for Yang Tong to discuss matters with important ministers, and there is no need to pay so much attention to etiquette when talking between the monarch and his ministers.

"Generally speaking, after the emperor ascends the throne, he will amnesty the world and release some criminals to show his benevolence, but I have canceled this step. Shouldn't it be replaced by other methods?" Pei Renji, Minister of Rites, has also entered the role. After asking, he explained the process after enthronement proficiently in his own job.

"Exempt the next year's land tax. This will benefit the common people, not the criminals. It is much more beneficial than amnesty."

"Will the full exemption affect the court's income?" Pei Renji asked worriedly.

"We rent a lot of official land to the common people for cultivation. This is not the common people's land, and what should be harvested is still to be harvested! Although it is not too much, it can be used to make up for a season. As for the shortcomings, we can dispatch them from the treasury. This year, there has been a severe drought across the country, and the lives of the people are very difficult. We cannot put the burden on the people, and we will lay off many troops, and the expenditure will be less than before."

With the current background, it is no problem to feed and drink for free to support the people of a country for five years. The day when he complained in front of the generals, it was Yang Yu and these people who played a bitter trick in order to successfully implement the strategy of disarmament.

What's more, there is still a huge amount of money locked up in the Chang'an Sky Prison. If Victory can be blackmailed, there will be a year left to support the people of the Sui Dynasty. words.

Seeing that everyone laughed and said nothing, Pei Renji stopped entangled in this issue and said instead: "Your Majesty, you should also declare Li Yuan, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Xiao Xian, Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, Li Zitong, Lin Shihong and others as Rebel."

When it comes to this, Yang Tong really has a headache.

When he was not an emperor before, he could use soft-hearted ones to turn a blind eye to Li Yuan, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande, acquiescing to the fact that they were self-reliant, and then used rotten money to steal their property through commercial means, one step at a time. Step by step to eat away at the vitality of various regimes, silently make a fortune and sit and watch them fight.

But it is definitely not possible now. On behalf of Orthodoxy, I not only have to strongly condemn these princes, but also define them all as big traitors with sharp words. What are the consequences of doing so?
[-]. Commercial bargain hunting and sit-and-see success or failure means nothing. If you continue to communicate with these people, you will betray your promises and lose trust with the military and civilians.

The second consequence is that these princes are very likely to join forces because of this: if the Great Sui is still the Great Sui with only two states.Southern feudal lords did not feel the threat of the Great Sui. They ignored the edicts of the Great Sui and dismissed them. After listening to the joke, they went on to do their own things.But now the Great Sui Dynasty is the number one vassal in the world, with seven parts of the world occupying the third.Everyone is afraid of the huge Sui Dynasty, everyone thinks that the edict is true, and everyone is worried that the Sui Dynasty will deal with them. Therefore, it becomes possible to abandon the previous suspicions and cooperate with each other.

When Yang Tong expressed his concerns, there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Half an hour!

Yang Gongren said solemnly: "Your Majesty, it is indeed possible for them to join forces by issuing an edict to reprimand the southern princes as thieves! But this must be done to gain fame and righteousness, so as to build the foundation for unifying the world in the future! Besides, the southern princes have serious conflicts. Like a mountain, with grievances as deep as the sea, even if they form an alliance to fight, they can't be of one heart and one mind."

"The minister is attached!" At this time, a soft yet firm voice sounded from the side, and a handsome, imposing middle-aged man stood up. He was Yang Shanhui, a historical hero who had won all battles.

He cupped his hands and said: "If you are bound because of a loose alliance that may not exist, how will the Holy One command the world and make the people fear? Therefore, this edict should be issued."

"My lord, my lord, the most difficult days of the Sui Dynasty have passed, are we still afraid that this group of grassroots will fail? If they really want to form an alliance, they will be caught in one go!" Tan Guogong Luo Shixin said proudly.

Yang Tong couldn't help laughing, patted his forehead, and said, "After becoming the emperor, I feel that I have become less timid."

"It's not that His Majesty has become less courageous, it's that His Majesty has grown up!" Yang Gongren said.

"Uh...!" Yang Tong's face darkened, and he turned away from looking at him.
