Chapter 489: Unstoppable Upstart

When Nayan Suwei withdrew from the main hall of the palace, he received a special order from the emperor because of his old age, and he could leave in a small chariot. Of course, it is still relatively comfortable to sit on the chariot, especially when the weather is getting hotter, and it is inevitable that you will sweat when you walk a few more steps, and it is not uncomfortable to get stuck and wet.

Lying on the chariot, Su Wei secretly pondered in his heart.

After Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwenyong, who was one year younger than Yang Jian, died in his thirties, he passed the throne to his son Yuwenyun for Emperor Xuan of Zhou. But this Emperor Zhou Xuan is too nonsense, it can be said that he is a well-known little expert in death, and he has not been tossing for a few years, so the sky is angry and resentful, and the Guanlong Group brought out by the Yuwen family back then was dissatisfied.

At that time, Yuwentai was not the leading brother of Guanlong Group, and the real leading brother was Guanzhong Daxing Taihe Bayue.

He Bayue, like Gao Huan, was Er Zhurong's younger brother back then, and later Er Zhurong was killed by Gao Huan.

He Bayue accepted the secret order of Emperor Xiaowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty to confront Gao Huan, and he led his brothers from Wuchuan Town to integrate the military forces of the Guanlong region to form a new military aristocratic group.

They took the old Wuchuan department of He Bayue as the team, settled in Guanzhong, Hu and Han mixed with each other, integrated civil and military, and intermarried with each other, especially with the local Haoqiang clan in Guanzhong Longzhong, so they formed the Guanlong aristocratic group.

It was only later that He Bayue suddenly died in battle, and Yuwentai took the opportunity to stand up and lead everyone to continue to fight against Kanto.

Later, the emperor came to Guanzhong, and Yuwentai improved the government soldier system in order to be able to compete with the emperor, and set up eight pillars and twelve generals.

The root of this system is the tribal deliberation system of the Xianbei people, which is equivalent to the discussion of the eight kings. Originally, the emperor had the final say, but it turned out to be the parliamentary system of the Eight-Pillar Alliance, and Yuwentai himself was the chief assistant, so he naturally held the real power and set up the emperor.

At that time, the Western Wei Dynasty was a combination of military and government, and the Eight Pillars and the Twelve Great Generals were all generals and ministers, not only the commanders of the army, but also the leadership core of the country, and even their soldiers were their private soldiers.

Because of this, these twenty great families became the prominent core families of the Western Wei State in the Guanzhong region, and the Western Wei and Northern Zhou were established by these families.

In the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties, these top Guanlong nobles were not just important ministers of the imperial court, they were actually the masters of the country, equivalent to the company's major shareholders and board members.

Whether it is the Western Wei Dynasty when the Liyuan clan was a puppet, or the Northern Zhou Dynasty when he came out to be the emperor, he is still just the leading brother.

Emperor Xuan of Zhou's various tosses, and even the various policies secretly implemented, in fact, have been centralizing power and collecting authority from the royal family, and the final result, as Emperor Xuan Zhou's father-in-law, Yang Jian, the son of Yang Zhong, the twelfth general, became the new leader supported by most of the Guanlong group.

Because Emperor Xuan of Zhou messed around, the transfer of power this time was very smooth, even if Wei Chi, who was also Emperor Xuan's father-in-law, raised 300,000 troops, but he still couldn't go against the trend.

Yu Jin and Li Mu, the great pillar states, all supported Yang Jian, and finally the Yang clan usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the transition was very fast and smooth.

Yang Jian seized the Northern Zhou Dynasty, followed by the destruction of Western Liang and Southern Chen, and finally dominated the world.

After the establishment of the Great Sui, the system was changed, the Han and Wei systems were restored, and the Zhou rites were retro, and six departments were set up in three provinces. Although the military still retains the government military system, the government soldiers at this time have changed the system and no longer have a pillar country.

The Twelve Great Generals were changed to the Twelve Guards and Four Mansions, and the Great Generals no longer had the direct power to command the troops, and the Pillar State only became a false title.

Through various means, Yang Jian quickly took back a lot of the core power in the hands of the Guanlong nobles in the past.

He did what Yuwentai wanted to do but didn't do.

Yang Jian has been sitting in the world for more than 20 years, and has been suppressing the Guanlong Group, suppressing it by various means, and by the time Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, in fact, most of the original families of the twelve generals of the Eight Pillars Country had declined.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he took the opportunity to promote the Jiangnan and Kwantung clans. The five surnames and seven families who once stood in the wrong position in the struggle for hegemony in the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty finally raised their heads again, but they were still very honest in front of the emperor.

Yang Guang is very satisfied with these Kanto and Jiangnan clans, Pei Yun, Yu Shiji, and Pei Shiju are all their representatives.

And he, Su Wei, is the representative of the Guan Sergeant clan among the Guanlong nobles, and Yu Wenshu is the representative of the Guanlong military aristocracy in the dynasty.

But the Yuwenshu family didn't enter the stream at all before, but now it has become a top representative, but it is the descendants of the eight-pillar country such as Li Hu, Li Bi, Li Mu, and Yuyi, but now they are suppressed and can't get up, and Yu Zhongwen was even cut off by the emperor last time.

Li Mu's family was also inherited by the emperor by the title, killing several descendants of the lineage, and letting a mediocre and incompetent ninth son Li Hun succeed to the position of head of the family and win the title of duke.

If it goes on like this, it won't be practical for many years, and it is estimated that the former family of the twelve generals of the Eight Pillars Country will be almost messed up, and they will no longer be able to control the court.

This time Yang Xuangan rebelled, so that the emperor could take the opportunity to uproot Yang Su's Hongnong Yang family. I can't say it, I may have to take the opportunity to implicate and pull up a few more companies such as Jingzhao Weis.

At present, three major groups have been formed in the DPRK and China.

The military aristocrats of Guanlong are naturally still among them, but their strength is not as good as before, and they can no longer monopolize the situation and control the world. The Kwantung clan headed by the five surnames and seven families has been strong in recent years, and when the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, the Kwantung clan headed by the five surnames standing on the side of the Qi State naturally suffered a comprehensive suppression, and the power of the four surnames that arose in the Northern Wei Dynasty declined, and it has recovered a lot in the past two years.

Then there is the Jiangnan Shi clan, the Jiangnan Shi clan was naturally the first in the north when the clothes were in the south and the local Shi clan of Wu Di, but during the Hou Jing Rebellion, Wang Xie Gu Zhu and other Dashi clans were almost destroyed, and now there are only Xiao and Shen.

However, now it seems that Shandong Haoqiang has faintly risen, and the force represented by Luo Cheng has risen quickly, compared with the existing three major groups, they do not have much foundation, lack of qualifications and prestige, just like Luo Cheng.

But it is precisely because of this that Su Wei feels that this is the root of the rise of the powerful people in Shandong, because the emperor likes to use this. At the beginning, the Kanto Shi clan was used to suppress the Guanlong Group, and the Jiangnan Shi clan was used to contain the Kanto Shi clan.

Now it is undoubtedly a desire to use Shandong Haoqiang to create a new Haoqiang group to completely replace the Guanlong military nobles, after all, although the emperor was born in the Guanlong military group, he is more afraid of this group than anyone else. The emperor built the eastern capital, moved the capital to Luoyang, and moved the center of the world to the east, which was also to further weaken the influence of the Beilong group on the imperial court.

The emperor always likes to do this, but compared to Emperor Wen, it is undoubtedly more radical and more sloppy.

Yang Xuangan's rebellion is actually the best proof of this.

After Luo Cheng enters the court, what position will he hold?

Su Wei chuckled softly.

He is old, he has been in the court for more than 20 years, three ups and downs, many things are also down, and he has seen through the character of today's son. This is an emperor who will do whatever he wants, and no one can persuade him, he will only listen to what he wants to hear, do what he wants to do, and as for the rest, he will never care.

"Young people are really lucky, it just so happens that the Son of Heaven needs such a person again, and he really burned too much incense in his last life." Su Wei sighed.
