Chapter 134

five months later

The dragon boat came to the land of Yangzhou, which was also the fief of Yang Guang when he was King Jin.

Yang Guang came to the former Jinwang Palace. Although Yang Guang never came to Yangzhou after he became the prince, he still went through several constructions. Although the Jinwang Palace at this time was not as good as the Luoyang Palace, it was similar to the Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan. It is still comparable!

After half a year's journey, all the ministers were still trapped in Siming Mountain for more than a month. All of them were physically and mentally exhausted. After arriving in Yangzhou, they all had their own properties and immediately began to rest.

Wang Chen doesn't have his own property in Yangzhou, but Li Xiuning does. Although Li Xiuning represents Li Yuan's Tang State Mansion to manage Yangzhou's property, there are still some properties in Li Xiuning's hands.

According to Li Xiuning's original instructions, Wang Chen came to a courtyard with two entrances and two exits, and others such as Xue Rengui and others also followed Wang Chen into the courtyard, waiting for Yang Guang's reward early the next morning.

As night fell, Wang Chen, Xue Rengui, Luo Cheng, Yu Chigong, Zhang Wen, Cheng Fang and several other Wang Chen's confidantes gathered together.

And in this gathering, there are two more new faces, one is the eldest grandson Wuji of the eldest grandson's family, and the other is Cao Yu whom Wang Chen hasn't seen for a long time!

"Cao Yu, I haven't seen you in almost two years!"

Wang Chen looked at Cao Yu and said with a smile, Cao Yu was also one of the first group of people who followed him, and they were loyal and courageous. Wang Chen also admired Cao Yu very much.

"Originally, the emperor wanted the last general to guard Luoyang, but in the end, the emperor let the last general come to Yangzhou ahead of schedule, to clear some obstacles for the emperor first!"

Cao Yu said with a smile.

Wang Chen nodded, because the capital city of the Sui Dynasty was Chang'an at the beginning, and the control over the south was slightly weaker. Even if Yang Guang moved the capital to Luoyang, the control over the south was still not very good, which led to a situation in the south of the Yangtze River. Those are the real aristocratic and powerful families in the land!
The primary purpose of Yang Guang's coming to Yangzhou this time was indeed for his own selfish desires, to travel south of the Yangtze River.

But from Wang Chen's point of view, Yang Guang should have another very important purpose, which is to reshuffle the forces in the south!

(ps: Because Siming Mountain is already in chaos, the following content is all messed up, and it will not match the Romance, and it will not even match the history!)
"It seems that the emperor's actions this time are not purely for pleasure, and the emperor's mind is definitely not purely for pleasure as the world says!"

A look of surprise flashed across Changsun Wuji's eyes, then he touched his chin with one hand and said lightly.

Everyone looked at Changsun Wuji's face, and some were a little puzzled.

"Looking at your puzzled looks, this Marquis will introduce it to you!"

Wang Chen smiled, and then solemnly introduced Changsun Wuji to everyone.

"This is Changsun Wuji, and he is one of us from now on. The eldest grandson has great talents in governing the country and is full of economics. You should learn more from him!"

Wang Chen's words hit Changsun Wuji's heart directly. In Li Yuan's Duke Tang's mansion, he was always at the same level. He was even valued by Li Yuan only because his sister was selected by the Dou family.

But since Li Shimin married Lu's daughter-in-law, his status has plummeted. Changsun Wuji is not willing to be so unknown, let alone the disappearance of the Changsun family, and his own sister. It's like being abandoned!
Changsun Wuji was naturally very unwilling, so he thought of fighting with Wang Chen, if he couldn't be reused, then Changsun Wuji was ready to accept his fate!
But Changsun Wuji never expected that he had just joined Wang Chen's command, and he would actually be included in Wang Chen's inner circle, and he would be so valued by Wang Chen!

After Wang Chen introduced Changsun Wuji, Changsun Wuji held up the wine glass in front of him with slightly trembling hands, raised it to everyone and drank it down in one gulp, causing everyone to applaud loudly.

Wang Chen looked at Changsun Wuji and nodded slightly.

Wang Chen's system is not a vegetarian, watching Changsun Wuji's loyalty value directly soar to 88!

Don't think that the loyalty of 88 is very low. You must know that if the loyalty exceeds [-], the possibility of betrayal will be very low. If it exceeds [-], then it is equivalent to life and death. It's like Li Yuanba being defeated by Cheng Yaojin!

Wang Chen also has his own considerations, if the loyalty value of this eldest grandson Wuji still does not exceed [-] from today, then the Jin Yiwei will monitor the eldest grandson Wuji to a certain extent, and Wang Chen himself will also have a certain degree of loyalty to the eldest grandson Wuji. disappointment.

"Changsun Wuji, basically all the family members of your Changsun family were secretly taken to Liaodong City by people sent by this Marquis. Of course, that is only temporary, and they will definitely return to the Central Plains in the future!"

Wang Chen said to his grandson Wuji.

Changsun Wuji cupped his hands at Wang Chen and said:
"Thank you Wuji, Marquis Wu!"

Changsun Wuji didn't feel that Wang Chen still wanted to use this to control himself. After all, he was just a little guy in Wang Chen's eyes at this time, and Wang Chen's move actually helped him.

If Li Yuan knew that Changsun Wuji had actually switched to someone else, or that he was Wang Chen who had repeatedly embarrassed the nobles of Guanlong, even if Li Yuan wanted to win the approval of the aristocratic family and protect his own face, the Changsun family might also suffer disaster!
"Okay, now that you all know each other, the purpose of gathering everyone this time is to discuss with you the general situation of the world and the future actions!"

Wang Chen is no longer beating around the bush. Of the people present, the most loyal to Wang Chen is 88's eldest grandson Wuji. The rest of the loyalty points are all above [-], and even several of them are full of [-]!
This discussion is completely under the nose of the emperor, but Wang Chen is completely confident!
Not because of anything else, just because there are more than 300 Jinyiwei in Yangzhou City!
At this moment, there are nearly a hundred brocade guards guarding the mansion outside the mansion, not to mention spies, and even flies don't even think about flying in!

"Master Hou, Wuji believes that the rule of the Great Sui Dynasty is already extremely unstable! Even though Lord Hou has defeated the Eighteenth Route Anti-kings forcefully this time, the Sui Dynasty is considered terminally ill and it is difficult to save it!"

Changsun Wuji was the first to speak. After all, he was the one with the most books, the most knowledge and the strongest political ability among those present.

Wang Chen leaned on the chair on the main seat, thinking carefully.

In fact, Wang Chen really wanted to save the Sui Dynasty, because Wang Chen himself was really not willing to be the emperor. He was too tired. If he didn't want to be tired, he had to learn from Brother Guang, but this would be a disaster for the people!
Yang Guang's political vision and strategy are excellent, and he is very good among the emperors, but he is mixed with a certain amount of stupidity and pleasure-seeking, and he is taking big steps!

Wang Chen thought for a while, then shook his head again, if he really wanted to continue the Great Sui Dynasty, either Yang Guang changed his character and started to tidy up the government affairs from today, to win back the hearts of the people step by step, or change the emperor!
"Master Hou, the last general also feels that although this old emperor is really good to us, when I was at home, many ordinary people were oppressed and couldn't afford to eat, and even appeared the image of changing sons to eat, alas! "

Yu Chigong is straight-hearted, he just says what comes to his mind.

Afterwards, the rest of the people, including Luo Cheng, also echoed Changsun Wuji's words.

"Forget it, forget it, let's talk about these things later, this Marquis at least wants to focus on the common people in the world, let's see what the emperor will do next!"

Wang Chen pinched the bridge of his nose, waved his hand and said.

Wang Chen lived a new life with a system, so the first thing he thought of was naturally taking the world as his own responsibility.

I really didn't have such lofty ideas at first, I just wanted to get an official position, and then quietly develop my own power, using Liu Bowen's nine-character mantra of building walls high, accumulating food widely, and slowly becoming king.

But since Wang Chen fought the Western Turkic War, his thoughts gradually changed. After Wang Chen completely defeated Goguryeo, Wang Chen's thoughts have completely changed.

Wang Chen doesn't want to be an emperor, it's really boring to me, what I want is to let the Han people live a prosperous life, so that the Han people can stand on the top of the world, and let the Han people's territory spread to the world without limit expand!

"Master Hou, in fact, now we can wipe out those anti-kings one by one and then look at the rest, as long as Master Hou, you will firmly grasp the power in your hands to death!"

Changsun Wuji probably understood what Wang Chen was thinking, so he immediately changed the topic.

Changsun Wuji's words were correct, and everyone nodded in agreement.

As long as Wang Chen holds the military power in his hands, then all problems will be no problem!

"Then Changsun Wuji, what do you think we should do next?!"

Wang Chen turned his head to look at Changsun Wuji and said.

After Changsun Wuji lowered his head and pondered for a while, he raised his head and said to Wang Chen:
"Master Hou, in fact, what we are going to do now is very simple, Master Hou doesn't need to do anything, we just need to watch what the emperor does, and then we will do it!"

Changsun Wuji's words sound like nonsense, and they are also very simple, but Wang Chen strongly agrees with this idea.

I have now controlled the northernmost part of the Great Sui Dynasty. Except for Luo Yi's Beiping, the large area from Zhenbei City to Goguryeo belongs to Wang Chen's sphere of influence!

If Wang Chen still develops his power unscrupulously in the territory of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang will definitely be extremely disturbed, which will lead to the real collapse of the Sui Dynasty!

Wang Chen really didn't have much thought about Guanzhong and Jiangnan. After all, Wang Chen's Jinyiwei had penetrated into all parts of the Sui Dynasty!
"Ouch, I understand what you're saying, you just see the trick, right!" Yu Chigong listened to the words, and immediately began to show off.

"I can't see that you, Yu Chigong, have learned something!?"

Luo Cheng laughed at the side.

Yu Chigong could only stare at Luo Cheng, but he was still scared, he couldn't beat him!

"Master Hou, let's talk about everything after tomorrow's emperor's award!"

Wang Chen nodded, indeed, let's see what terrible things the emperor will do tomorrow.

After everyone left one by one, Lu Bingcai appeared in the yard.

"Subordinates see Lord Hou!"

"It's been almost half a year. Has anything good happened in the Central Plains?"

Wang Chen asked.

"Back to Lord Hou, in the past few months, except for the few anti-king forces who were captured and killed by you, Lord Hou, after being wiped out one by one, the rest of the anti-kings are recuperating honestly."

"However, in the past few months, several strange anti-kings have risen again!"

Wang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then took Lu Bing's record.

Wang Chen carefully looked at Lu Bing's records, and sighed slightly in his heart, it seemed that it was really messed up. In this era, there appeared some people that Wang Chen didn't know at all. The old anti-kings were slaughtered by Wang Chen. Then there appeared anti-king forces that Wang Chen didn't recognize at all.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. After Jin Yiwei's investigation, these newly-emerged anti-kings are average in strength, and there is no big threat!"

Lu Bing continued.

Wang Chen also nodded, if a random anti-king rose up and was strong, the Great Sui Dynasty might have been destroyed long ago!

"Master Hou, even though Wang Shichong has controlled most of Luoyang City, he still hasn't turned back. On the surface, he is still Jing Zhaoyin of the Great Sui Dynasty!"

Lu Bing continued to report.

Wang Chen smiled. It seems that Wang Shichong is very stable. Even though he already has a lot of soldiers, horses, food and grass, and even a lot of capable people, he is still not ready to rebel. He is still secretly accumulating strength and preparing to come to Boda !
"This Wang Shichong is really interesting, let him go, no matter what, he can't escape the palm of this Marquis!"

Lu Bing immediately flattered and said:
"That's natural. Lord Hou's strength can be easily manipulated by Wang Shichong, and the two masters who were elected to Luoyang at the beginning have already mixed into Wang Shichong's top management!"

Wang Chen laughed dumbly, he almost forgot that he had arranged such a mess.

"Is there anything else to report?"

Wang Chen continued to ask after taking a sip of tea.

At this moment, Lu Bing said cautiously:

"Master Hou, the wave of thieves who wanted to force their way into Duke Wu's mansion in Luoyang has been roughly identified. They should be from the Yuwen family."

Murderous intent flashed in Wang Chen's eyes.

Yuwenhuaji!You'd better not touch Ben Hou's bottom line!
"What's more, Mr. Wang Yan has also been found out!"

"Young Master Wang Yan seems to be the current emperor's spy!"

"what!?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, Wang Chen frowned and turned around.

Could it be that Wang Yan really betrayed himself?
"The maid named Qingshuang is Yu Wenhuaji and the emperor's double agent, but it seems to be the emperor's person. The emperor is the master and betrothed Qingshuang to Wang Yan, and Wang Yan was promoted by the emperor to become a fourth rank. Commander of the Dragon Guard!"

"I also found out that Wang Yan has done a lot of things for Yang Guang during these times, and even some developments of our Zhenbei City have been blocked by Wang Yan, because Wang Yan knows some things about our Zhenbei City!"

Wang Chen's eyes were shining with light, there was disappointment, murderous intent, and a trace of loneliness.

"Okay, Ben Hou knows, you go down first, Ben Hou think about it!"

Wang Chen waved his hand and said.

"Yes! Master Hou!" Lu Bing looked at Wang Chen and went down.

"Pong!"

Wang Chen directly crushed a teacup, and raised the corners of his mouth in the dark.
