Yang Guang's brows frowned slightly: "Let him manage the grain, and don't give the soldiers?" What does this mean, is it to treat Li Yuan like I did? It's just that if Yang Xuangan replaces Li Yuan, then how can I place Li Yuan? ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, Li Yuan still continues to supervise the transportation of military rations in Huaiyuan Town, and for Yang Xuangan, he will be placed in a place further behind, Guanzhong is the hometown of Guanlong nobles, and Yang Xuangan must not be allowed to stay there, and he must be placed in several large warehouses near Luoyang, such as Huiluo, Luokou, and Liyang, and he will supervise the transfer of grain from the south to the north." ”

Yang Guang's brows were still deep: "These places are too important, the huge amount of military rations needed by our army to conquer Goguryeo, as well as the military weapons and baggage, must pass through these cangcheng, take the Tongji Canal of the Grand Canal, and then connect the Guangji Canal to the north after entering the Yellow River." If you say that Yang Xuangan intends to rebel and I let him occupy this place, even if he has no one under him, he can open a warehouse and release grain and lead the displaced people around. ”

Speaking of this, a trace of vigilance flashed in Yang Guang's eyes: "Wang Aiqing, I have also sent someone to check the affairs of Shandong and Hebei, Zhang Xutuo of Qi County, led the troops to meet me a while ago, the situation he said is not as easy as you said, the land of Qilu, as well as Hebei, and even the Central Plains, although there is no large number of formed rebels, but there are many thieves who occupy the mountains as kings, and some local heroes and powerful people have also taken the opportunity to make trouble, but now they dare not openly pull out the anti-flag, if there is really a person like Yang Xuangan." , as soon as you climb the heights, won't you be like a cloud? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Your Majesty can use various means to control Yang Xuangan, such as leaving heavy troops in the Eastern Capital and Jiangdu, even if Yang Xuangan is in chaos." Nor can it be just a few days. Gather enough soldiers and horses in a month. Even if he does rebel, His Majesty can let the army of Zhengliao come back and destroy it. ”

Yang Guang's brows were still tightly furrowed: "I don't want to fight Goguryeo, but to calm Yang Xuangan's rebellion?" Isn't this price too high, rather than this, I might as well continue to idle Yang Xuangan, so that even if he has a rebellion, it won't work. Isn't it better? ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Yang Xuangan will not succeed if he repeatedly asks for it. Then you may think of other thoughts, Your Majesty is now leading troops outside, it is impossible to manage the Eastern Capital all the time, if he takes advantage of His Majesty's expedition outside, and then engages in any tandem actions, such as hijacking His Royal Highness the King of Qi when he is in the Eastern Capital, and setting up him as a puppet, it will be difficult to control. ”

Yang Guang slapped the table suddenly: "The thief dares!" Destroy his nine clans! ”

Wang Shichong hurriedly knelt on the ground again, his forehead was in close contact with the marble ground, and said in a loud voice: "Weichen said rebellious words. Sin deserves death, sin deserves death! ”

Yang Guang sighed. raised his hand: "Okay, Wang Aiqing, I know that you are loyal, for the sake of my country, I won't blame you, you should be even." ”

Wang Shichong stood up and brushed the ash on his front placket, and a trace of helplessness flashed on Yang Guang's face: "I, the emperor, is really difficult, these Guanlong families, Shandong clans, all of them are not worry-free, always thinking about harming me, and I can't dispose of them casually, in fact, I went back to Goguryeo to get a good relationship with the Guanlong family, so that these generals who make a living from military merit can get benefits, I am strange, is it because my talent and virtue are insufficient, why do they want to harm me so deliberately?" ”

Wang Shichong's face pretended to be loyal: "Your Majesty, the family of military generals is nothing more than eagles and dogs, as long as there is prey and meat to eat, they can ensure that they refuse to be rich and noble, they will not make too much trouble, but the literati family, like the five surnames and seven wangs, has controlled the personnel power of the court from generation to generation, and since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has reused the Jiangnan Wenchen, which has violated the fundamental interests of these people, and the last time the teacher was unfavorable, so these disgruntled guys are all ready to move behind their backs, and those homeless people are mostly instigated and funded by these people, took advantage of the invincibility of the grass people to His Majesty's great cause, and embarked on the road of escape. ”

Yang Guang sighed: "The formation of the Guanlong family and even the Shandong clan began in the Wei and Jin dynasties, formed in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and has gone through hundreds of years now, even if it is a wise and martial emperor, it can only be coerced by it and make all kinds of concessions to it, the reason why I want to reform the old and make new ones is that I don't want to let my Great Sui Emperor suffer from them from generation to generation, but to take back the power and become the real emperor, Wang Aiqing, now that the matter has come to this, do you have any good suggestions?" Do you think I want to suspend the conquest of Goguryeo and stabilize the interior first? ”

Wang Shichong sneered in his heart: Just because you are the second generation of a prodigal official who doesn't know the suffering of the people, do you also want to become a hero like Emperor Qin and Han Wu? This throne is more reliable for Feng Lun to sit on than for you to sit. You can handle things that your great Lao Tzu can't even handle?

But Wang Shichong's face was an unusually serious expression, he pondered for a while, and said: "At this time, you can't collect troops, you must not collect them, because the conquest of Goguryeo is to provide an opportunity for the generals of the Guanlong family to get a knighthood for their merits. ”

Yang Guang said hatefully: "Yes, in fact, I also want to fight in my heart, I am thousands of miles away from the Great Sui and have a million armor, but I have suffered a big loss in Goguryeo, and I can't bear this breath!" It's just that according to what you just said, my army is going out to fight abroad, and Yang Xuangan in China feels that if these people take the opportunity to make trouble, what can they do? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "So you can't leave people like Yang Xuangan in the Eastern Capital and Guanzhong, there are too many family members and Guanlong nobles here, it is easy for him to connect with him, even if he doesn't want to rebel with him, as long as he makes up some lies, such as His Majesty's defeat in the battle and his whereabouts are unknown, he can take the opportunity to support the King of Qi or other clans, although there are many soldiers and horses in Luoyang, the eastern capital, but most of them are stationed in the Fanshang military camp outside the city, if he is given to do it directly in the city, I am afraid that he will be caught off guard." ”

Yang Guang listened to Wang Shichong's words, his hand gradually clenched into a fist, and even trembled slightly, Wang Shichong saw it in his eyes, knowing that he was a little moved, took a step forward, lowered his voice, and continued: "Your Majesty still remembers what happened before you ascended the throne?" There were a large number of unknown people in Daxing City, Yang Xuangan used the excuse that these people wanted to make trouble, closed the city gate in Daxing City, mobilized the family members, and went straight to the East Palace. That time, Yang Xuangan was on His Majesty's side, but if he had such a bad heart next time, he was afraid that His Majesty's queens and princes would fall into the hands of this person, so he had to guard against it!
