Chapter 23: Turning Sides

At present, this majestic and calm man is the current Son of Heaven, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

"This time, you Jinwu has a meritorious service to protect the lord, Liu Zhong, you don't forget the loyalty of your ancestors, I will definitely give your Liu family an explanation after returning to the palace, and restore your ancestors' titles and official positions......"

Yang Guang said slowly, the official position and title are just words for him, and as soon as Liu Zhong sees him, he can shout questioning words.

That means that he is Yang Su's cronies, and it is much easier to plot against Yang Su's cronies and let them fight by themselves.

A huge temptation was placed in front of Liu Zhong, making his face flush instantly.

He was so excited, all he asked for was Yang Su, but that had to wait until everything was settled, but for now, he just had to follow Emperor Yang Guang of Sui.

Anything is at your fingertips.

The point is, didn't Emperor Yang of Sui say it?

He didn't want to kill the Liu family, otherwise he wouldn't have let the Liu family go after the uncle died, and he didn't issue an order to distribute or exterminate the nine clans.

At that time, the highest official of Dali Temple was Yang Su.

Liu Zhong's heart was pounding, his face was cloudy, and he could see that he was fiercely calculating the gains and losses in his heart, but Yang Guang, who was standing not far from him, was looking at Zhang Yi.

If this Liu Zhong is willing to defect, it will be fine, and then use him to fight Yang Su in the ring, but if he is stubborn, then let Zhang Yi lead someone to solve him.

and all those who did not take refuge in him were killed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Longen, long live, long live, long live......"

"Qi luck from Liu Zhong is worth 200+ ......"

Yang Guang was overjoyed in his heart, as soon as Liu Zhong knelt down, the hundreds of people he brought with him all knelt on the ground at this time, and shouted long live long live with him!

Zhang Yi, who was already close to Liu Zhong, also knelt down at this time, and more than 1,000 people on the field knelt on the ground, and Emperor Yang of Sui was overjoyed at this time.

Because he received a lot of luck value in the background, it seems that there are still a lot of people in this Jin Wuwei who are loyal to him.

"This time, Jin Wuwei has a meritorious escort, and when the widow returns to the palace, there will be a lot of rewards, and everyone present will be officially awarded the third level or above......"

As soon as Yang Guang said this, the audience boiled, especially Liu Zhong, above the third level, that is the great commander of Jin Wuwei, which is now Yang Su's position.

This, this, plus what Yang Guang promised at the beginning, he has ascended to the sky in one step, this time he must hold His Majesty's thighs tightly, and he must not let go.

This majesty is much more generous than Yang Su.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhong only felt that his whole body was full of strength, and the people under him all looked at people differently as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

In fact, Yang Guang didn't say it casually, these Jinwuwei guards who followed him today, even if they were promoted to three levels, that is, some centurion and other positions.

Positions like this are looked down upon by ordinary people, but these people are the foundation of the army, and who they are loyal to can truly command an army.

These people, he has to keep and make good use of them, and infiltrate Qianniuwei or Xishan Camp in the future, so that the military power can be firmly held in his hands in the future.

Take one step, look at three steps, this is the key to the success of a superior person.

Yang Guang was very satisfied with the current state, with this Liu Zhong's allegiance, it didn't take long for the one or two thousand Jin Wuwei's guards near Longqing Street to follow Yang Guang.

At this time, Yang Guang was also surrounded by everyone, and I don't know who sent a spacious carriage and invited Yang Guang into the carriage, which was covered with smooth satin, as well as all kinds of food and a set of tea sets that would not bump in the carriage.

At a glance, people can know that this carriage is not simple.

Zhang Yi led people around the carriage, Liu Zhong led people to open the way in front, and many Jin Wuwei escorted Yang Guang's carriage with great power.

There were more than 1,000 people, and the streets were full of people, and those ordinary people set up incense cases along the road and kowtowed to the carriages.

Yang Guang is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is an ordinary person who has never been seen in his life.

Characters like gods naturally want to set up incense and kowtow.

Xiao Shan was called into the carriage by Yang Guang, he knelt on the ground a little nervously, but was motioned by Yang Guang to sit down and talk.

Xiao Shan didn't dare to be careless, just knelt on the carriage, very respectful.

A figure like His Majesty, except for the third duke like Xiao Guogong, no one dares to sit down in front of him, and this is how it has been more polite.

He was already genuinely afraid.

"Xiao Aiqing, what do you think of Liu Zhong's matter, and today's assassination?"

Yang Guang summoned Xiao Shan, he wanted to see if this distant nephew of Xiao Guogong had the courage and insight?

This is related to how Yang Guang will arrange this Xiaoshan in the future.

Jin Wuwei's Zhang Yi has already seen that he is a person who can be of great use and has great talents, and with loyalty, he plans to use this matter as an excuse to reward him after returning to the palace.

Take the opportunity to cultivate your own cronies.

"Your Majesty, then Yang Su can't believe it anymore, I think that when Liu Zhong shouted to arrest Li Shan, it already showed that Yang Su had the intention of rebellion......"

Xiao Shan said slowly, in fact, the officials of the imperial court all knew that the favorite minister that Emperor Yang of Sui believed in the most was Yang Su, the Duke of Yang State.

The disciples and protégés of Yang Su's disciples are all over the various departments of the imperial court, and he is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and more than half of the military power in the court is in his hands.

But this man is going to rebel.

"Presumptuous, Yang Guogong is loyal and patriotic, how can he rebel?"

Emperor Yang of Sui's face was cloudy, but he roared at Xiao Shan in a low voice, Xiao Shan shuddered when he said this, and quickly bowed his head and knelt down towards Yang Guang.

His head was already prostrate on the carriage, but his voice was muffled.

"Your Majesty, Yang Su does have objections, but now he really can't deal with him immediately, otherwise I'm afraid that Yang Su will be dragged into the war with the determination to break the net, and the people will suffer......"

This Xiao Shan knelt there, although he was frightened in his heart, he still said his opinion.

"The selection of officials in the imperial court is all selected from the family gate, and the officials who have been recommended by Yang Su's hands over the years, there are not one thousand but eight hundred, if it is determined that Yang Su is rebelling, under the connection, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people in the entire Great Sui Dynasty will suffer......"

Xiao Shan's words made Yang Guang silent, in fact, he didn't know the disadvantages of the Great Sui Dynasty.

It is the selection system of the family, and those who are officials in the court are inextricably linked to the family, and they can only become officials by relying on them.

Yang Su has been very powerful in recent years, if you count officials like Zhonglang General, I am afraid that there are thousands of officials recommended and selected by Yang Su all over the country.

Once Yang Su rebelled, the entire Great Sui Dynasty would be in chaos, and it would collapse.
