Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 955

Guanyin's servant girl knelt in front of the emperor, begging bitterly.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

In the hall, Luo Cheng sighed.

"This is a court matter, you should not interfere."

"The concubine knows full well that the harem is not allowed to be involved in politics, and dare not do so. However, Anye is the concubine's elder brother. Now that he has committed a big mistake, the concubine begs His Majesty to spare him his death."

"Before your father died, the title was handed over to the youngest son Wuji to inherit. After your father died, the eldest grandson Anye brothers did not regard your three mothers as their own family members, but drove you out. At that time, you Seven years old?"

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded. If his uncle hadn't taken him in back then, the three of them would have lived on the streets. Although his elder brother Wuji had inherited his father's title, all the property of the eldest grandson's family had been occupied by An Ye and the others, even the income from Juelu and Shiyi , can't get it.

After a few years, the emperor changed the nobility system, and Changsun Wuji's title was also removed, so he completely cut off his source, and relied entirely on his uncle Gao Shilian and his aunt Xianyu to support him.

"Changsun Anye once treated you like this, don't you have any resentment?"

"Yes, but after all, he is my half-brother. He was still young at that time, and he was angry because he failed to win the title. The concubine can understand."

"But you asked for an official position for the eldest grandson Anye, and I also granted him an official position. You treated him very well, but now he is still plotting to rebel. You have already done everything you can to him, and there is no need to intercede for him."

"His Majesty."

Changsun knelt down and couldn't get up.

The emperor dotes on the elder Sun's family very much, and she usually knows the rules and manners, and she does not rely on favors to be spoiled. Except for her elder brother, Ansun Anye, she has a few officials, and she will never cross the line at ordinary times.

Changsun Sheng has five sons, the eldest son is Changsun Wunai, the second son is Wuao, the third son is Wuxian, the fourth son is Wuji, the fifth son is Wuyi, and the third son, Changsun Wuxian, is named Anye.

Except for Changsun Wuji, who was able to do well under Luo Cheng, the other four brothers had either worked under Li Yuan in Guanzhong or Wang Shichong in Luoyang.

Yu Daqin did not have an inch of merit, but Luo Cheng still conferred official positions on them.

But now, of the five brothers, except for Wuji, four of them were involved in the treason case, even Wuji's uncle, the eldest Sun Shunde, and the entire Changsun family was almost involved.

The emperor knew that these people were colluding closely, but he just stayed put and deliberately fished, and even sent a lot of people in the pro-military captain's mansion.

Many nobles also pretended to be encouraged by them. These people didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and thought that they could change the world with one move.

Little did they know, the emperor was just teasing them, like looking at a fool.

There is a saying that power grows out of the barrel of a gun.

Luo Cheng's world was conquered with one blow and one shot, and his army was also controlled by the old brothers who were on the battlefield back then.After several rounds of adjustments, those old nobles and old officials who led troops to surrender in the early years, and those anti-kings and anti-generals who surrendered, have basically been eliminated from the position of army chiefs.

Military power is firmly in the hands of the emperor.

Especially Luoyang's military power is even more monolithic.

Even if the emperor did recruit many children of honored officials as bodyguards, they are still under the control of the emperor.

In the Guanlong Group, Yang Jian's usurpation of the throne, Li Yuan's seizure of power, and Yu Wenshu's rebellion were all related to their control of military power. Many people in key positions in the army followed the rebellion.

However, who would rebel with a group of old Guanlong nobles like Changsun Anye, Li Xiaochang, Dou Gui, and Yuan Hongshi?
They neither hold important positions in the imperial court nor are they in critical positions, nor do they control the army and control military power.Apart from the excitement of jumping up and down, how could they have half a point in their hands that could threaten the emperor?

Private soldiers?

Now is not the time of Western Wei and Northern Zhou, and the nobles have no private soldiers in their hands.

Even servants and servants have reached the limit of their influence. Each family doesn't even have weapons and armor. Do you use sticks or short knives to fight back?
The emperor never took them all together, but he just wanted to see how many people would join in the end.

No matter how much or how little, nothing will happen.

As the prefect of Luoyang, Changsun Wuji was an insider, and he was very disturbed by this. He could only watch helplessly as more and more members of the Changsun clan in Henan were involved, but he could not interfere.

Under all kinds of pain and helplessness, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to resign from the emperor to avoid suspicion.

Only now did Changsun Wugou find out about this matter, he hoped that the emperor would see that before things got worse, he would end this matter and give Changsun a way out.

"Avalokitesvara, do you know how rampant people like Changsun Anye are? They actually went to find Wuji and asked him to rebel together, using the power of the Luoyang government."

"They even went to Yuchi Gong's house."

More than half of the old nobles living in Luoyang have been contacted by them, and these people even started to contact those who hold positions in the local area.

Old nobles, old gentry, old officials, and even many anti-military generals who rebelled and then joined.

"Even Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Li Gui, Guo Zihe, Du Fuwei and others have contacted them. These people are really too courageous."

Li Mi is quite knowledgeable about current affairs. When the elder Sun Shunde came to contact him, he immediately perfunctory, saying that he had to think about it, and then turned around and informed the emperor.

Wang Shichong is similar, he simply refused, and then reported to the emperor.

These guys who used to separate from one side are all good individuals, which ones have never held strong strength. They used all kinds of methods back then, but they couldn't defeat Luo Cheng. Now they are not willing to come out to fight Luo Cheng again.

They won't benefit from overthrowing Luo Cheng, not to mention, it's impossible to succeed.

Now, Luo Cheng has mastered a long list, basically, it has reached the stage of collecting the net.

The Guanlong nobles thought it was in the past, and the emperor annoyed them, so they changed their spokesperson and pushed a new emperor.

It's a pity that they were wrong, and it is not the same now.

What's more, even the Guanlong noble group, after experiencing the suppression of the Sui Dynasty for two generations, is actually not what it used to be.

In the past, the Guanlong nobles held private soldiers in their hands. Even in the Sui Dynasty, the military power of the private soldiers of the Guanlong nobles was taken away, and the commanding power of the local soldiers was taken away, and the military power was completely taken away. Returning to the imperial court, but after all, they still occupy the court hall and place, going out and entering the prime minister.

But now, it is the emperor's meritorious group that occupies these positions in the ruling and opposition parties.

What do the old nobles and gentry have in their hands?Nothing, just some old prestige, a little old reputation and old qualifications. If they really have it, they have some money and land left, but now, they will also bury this last thing.

"Guanyin maidservant, get up. You should not interfere with this matter, and you are not qualified to interfere. If you continue to entangle, it will be a violation of state affairs and a serious crime. Besides, Changsun Anye and others are not worthy of you." After the emperor finished speaking, he shook his head. sleeve left.
