Turbulent Times Chapter 1182: Three thousand false sons

Yang Guang heard what Yu Shiji said a month ago, and thought that even if Wang Junlin had the intention of disobedience, he would never have the intention of disobedience, let alone rebellion, but his son did such a stupid thing , even ten thousand cavalry ambushed and killed Wang Junlin first, and then someone on the tower tried to shoot him with an eight-ox crossbow, and then two of the prince's guards assassinated him again. Under such circumstances, what would Wang Junlin think, would he doubt it? He, the emperor, wanted to kill him, so he was forced to conspire against him?

Yang Guang was a little worried at this time. This kind of worry even made him think of killing Wang Junlin desperately, but he remembered that Wang Junlin could help him destroy Goguryeo one day, and he could also help him deal with rebellious people. Since she is a member of a well-known aristocratic family, she finally said in a very gentle voice: "Ai Qing, please."

Wang Junlin stood up pretending to be cautious, and waited for Yang Guang to ask questions with a low eyebrow.

"Aiqing has made such a great contribution by being a teacher all the way. I am very relieved." Yang Guang's words faintly conveyed a sense of loneliness and envy.

Wang Junlin hurriedly said loudly: "It's all thanks to the blessing of the emperor, Hong Fu, who strategized, specially set up a navy route, and appointed a humble minister as the commander. I dare not take credit for it."

Yang Guang smiled and said: "It's not wrong for me to set up a navy army all the way, but you also have merits, so you don't have to be too humble. If there is no such capable minister as you to carry out my will, even if I strategize again, It is also difficult to win battles, and every time I think of the disastrous defeat in Liaodong, I wish that all the officials under my command are like Aiqing."

"Your Majesty, I know that I have no other skills, just because all the sailors and soldiers along the way are simple people, and as soon as I arrive in the army, I will teach them how to be loyal to the emperor, and share the worries of the emperor, so everyone knows righteousness , the aura on the battlefield is stronger than that of the Goguryeo people, and in addition, His Majesty has strategized and given good advice before, and he is lucky to succeed many times."

After a pause, Wang Junlin said again: "I heard that Hedong and Guanzhong were hit by disasters one after another, and your majesty is worrying about money and food, so this time I came to Luoyang, in addition to bringing Yuan Taizuo and more than 10,000 Goguryeo prisoners. He brought 90,000 taels of silver to His Majesty, the title deed of 7,000 mu of good land in Yingtian Mansion, and 20,000 shi of grain."

Hearing this, Yang Guang became even more delighted: "Ai Qing has a heart, and I have been worrying about money and food recently."

Speaking of which, Yang Guang laughed heartily a few times, with a very happy expression, but suddenly his expression froze, and he asked Wang Junlin again: "I heard that Aiqing was assassinated in a temple on the way, and later she was killed in a temple." A valley was attacked by 10,000 ambushed soldiers, and just now they were stabbed one after another in front of the gate of the capital, is there such a thing?"

Wang Junlin suddenly looked serious, and said: "Your Majesty, please wave back to the left and right, I have a secret to announce."

Yang Guang's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to make everyone back down. He stared at Wang Junlin and said calmly, "Aiqing can speak now."

Wang Junlin said: "Your majesty is about to report that the old monk who assassinated me in the temple was a dead man. I beheaded him directly, but I couldn't find out who was behind the scenes. They seized it and found 90,000 taels of silver, the land deed of 7,000 acres of fertile land and 20,000 shi of grain from the temple. I was surprised by this. I didn't expect the temple to be so rich. A thorough investigation will surely find a lot of dirty silver and food in the temple."

Yang Guang looked surprised, gritted his teeth and said: "These bald donkeys in the temple are so rich, **** it, I am so worried about money and food, they hoard so much money and food, I will make an order immediately, completely Checking out temples all over the world just solves our current financial crisis in the Sui Dynasty.”

After finishing speaking, Yang Guang looked at Wang Junlin with an even more gratified expression, and said, "That's right, Aiqing is dedicated to serving the imperial court and sharing my worries. What is the attack?"

Wang Junlin said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I dare not hide anything. Except for the assassination in front of the capital gate, there were no survivors. I caught some survivors in the ambush against the minister in the valley. I have already known through them. The murderer behind the assassination of the minister."

Yang Guang had a murderous look on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what kind of thieves are, but they used ten thousand cavalry to attack my heroes under my nose."

Wang Junlin pretended to be complicated and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the 10,000 people are the hands of His Royal Highness, General Yu Wenshu, and the Hongnong Yang family."

Yang Guang's face suddenly became ugly: "His Royal Highness, I will teach him when I turn around. Yu Wenshu and Hongnong Yang are so courageous, and I will never spare them lightly."

Wang Junlin said at the right time: "Your Majesty, the person who assassinated the minister with eight oxen arrows at the gate of the capital just now is the fake son of General Yu Wenshu."

"Yu Wenshu's fake son?" Yang Guang frowned.

Wang Junlin said again: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Yuwen has identified three thousand false sons."

"Three thousand fakes!"

Yang Guang was talking to himself, but his attention was attracted by what Wang Junlin said about the three thousand hypocrites, and his brows frowned involuntarily.

Wang Junlin sneered in his heart. He knew that with Yang Guang's favor and trust in Yu Wenshu, and the fact that the empress and prince were obviously involved in this matter, Yang Guang would probably pretend not to see these people assassinating him, but if these people The strength shown has already threatened Yang Guang's rule, so it is completely different, so he specifically mentioned Yu Wenshu's three thousand false sons.

In fact, Wang Junlin did not lie, Yu Wenshu did have three thousand fake sons, and each of them came from a wealthy family, and all of them were not weak in martial arts.

"Where are the three thousand hypocrites mentioned by Yu Wenshu?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, these three thousand hypocrites have been with General Yuwen for more than ten years. As far as I know, except for a few hundred people who are beside Yuwenshu, the rest are all placed in the army and hold important positions. Some of them Has become a general."

Yang Guang didn't say anything more, his face was obviously a little unhappy, and Yang Guang also knew that the Xianbei people's collection of fake sons was actually a continuation of the Northern Wei Dynasty's soldiers. At that time, the Guanlong nobles had tens of thousands of soldiers in their hands. These family soldiers have given up their original names and followed their master's surname. They are actually a kind of domestic slaves.

Like Yu Wenshu, his ancestor's surname was Po Yetou, who was also a slave of the Yuwen family, and changed his surname to Yuwen from his master. As time passed, his father Yu Wensheng and himself became more and more powerful, and he did not recognize his ancestors' family Because of the humble status of being a slave, he clings to the Yuwen royal family and calls himself a branch of the Yuwen royal family.

In the sixth year of Emperor Kaihuang, the first emperor Yang Jian abolished the shabby family military system and ordered all the family soldiers of the powerful family to change back to their original surnames. The family military system gradually disappeared, but the old habits were hard to change. The number ranged from a few hundred to as many as a thousand, and they were raised as servants, which became a deformation of the previous family military system, but the number was not large, and they were not armed with armor like family soldiers. Yang Jian just turned his eyes and closed his eyes. I didn't care about it.

Now Wang Junlin suddenly mentioned that Yuwen had admitted three thousand false sons, which reminded Yang Guang of this matter again. This is also an old habit he wants to break. This is definitely a huge threat.

But what makes Yang Guang difficult is that these fake sons are not adopted in the mansion, and many of them have penetrated into the army and controlled the military power. This is the foundation of the Guanlong nobles.

Wang Junlin knew that Yang Guang had too many scruples, so he didn't want to think about what Yang Guang would do to Yu Wenshu immediately, and continued: "Your Majesty, at the gate of the capital, two guards of His Royal Highness suddenly assassinated the minister. I believe this is the instruction of His Royal Highness, but it is guessed that someone did it deliberately, and the plan is very big."

Yang Guang looked concentrating, and asked: "Who did it deliberately, and what is the picture?"
