After the retreat.
Wei Zhongxian and Yu Huatian followed closely behind Yang Guang.
"Are you wondering why I didn't announce the East Chamber today?”
Yang Guang noticed Wei Zhongxian's hesitant expression." Why do you want to increase the authority of the six departments?”
"Your Majesty has his own plans." Wei Zhongxian whispered.
"Heh." Yang Guang glanced at Wei Zhongxian. This person had been around for too long.
This servant has been doing this for too long.
"Let's not talk about the East Chamber. I want you to do something for the next seven days.”
"The East Chamber is not just a name or a government office. It is going to do something earth-shattering.”
"Let them know what the East Chamber is.”
Wei Zhongxian and Yu Huatian were slightly startled, but they immediately knew what to do.
"This servant understands."
Yang Guang waved his hand." You've done many of these things, so I won't say anything more.”
" As for the authority of the six departments…"
He looked up at the sky,"Do you think the aristocratic families can kill them all?”
Could the aristocratic families kill all of them?
It was naturally impossible for him to agree.
Just look at history.
The five surnames and seven Wangs, these families, from the Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, had all been killed.
Besides, which dynasty didn't have astonishing authority?
The ironclad Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, the dynasty of flowing water.
Even if the Qing Dynasty invaded, would these aristocratic families really be gone?
But how could he not kill him?
"Aristocratic families also need to be divided." Yang Guang muttered to himself," The Five Families and Seven Wangs are getting more and more powerful. The impact is too great.”
"A thousand-year-old family, their style of doing things is too condescending.”
"We have to suppress it."
"But it might not be the case for the others."
"Who are the five surnames and seven Wangs who are in charge of the six tribes?”
"No, I raised their authority to see who was willing to do things obediently and who harbored evil intentions.”
He lowered his head and looked at his hands."Since I can't completely destroy the aristocratic families, I will control them.”
Yu Huatian and Wei Zhongxian finally understood.
"Your Majesty is wise." Wei Zhongxian said.
Yu Huatian seemed to have thought of something." Your Majesty wants to nurture your own aristocratic family?”
Yang Guang nodded slightly and did not speak.
There was really no end to the aristocratic families.
What he wanted to do was to destroy the five surnames and seven surnames, which had already expanded.
Otherwise…it would be a joke to say that they would kill all the aristocratic families.
Even if Yang Guang were to kill randomly now, when the five surnames and seven Wangs were all dead, these people under him would become a new aristocratic family.
Moreover, when he was reading the memorial today.
Yang Guangcai really knew how bad the Sui Dynasty was now.
It was not that the imperial court was rotten, but that the world was too rotten!!!
Sui Emperor was eager for success and instant benefits, and he had almost exhausted the foundation of the Sui Dynasty.
The people were in dire straits, rebellions everywhere, natural and man-made disasters.
Under such circumstances, killing a few people and destroying a few aristocratic families could no longer solve the problem.
Right now, he still needed to stabilize the world.
Wei Zhongxian and Yu Huatian had done their homework and understood the current situation of the Sui Dynasty.
"His Majesty's previous actions have already offended many aristocratic families. Whether it's disaster relief or tidying up the world, we have to rely on them.”
"But will they really be at ease?" Yu Huatian asked.”
"If anyone dares to refuse, don't we have the East Chamber?" Wei Zhongxian said disdainfully.”
"Killing won't solve the problem." Yu Huatian frowned slightly.”
"As for the specifics, it depends on how they choose.”Yang Guang coldly smiled cruelly.
"I opened up the three granaries and increased the authority of the six departments to let them do their work.”
"It's good if you do things obediently. If you don't…"
He laughed coldly." I'll just confiscate their houses and behead them. In this world, whose fist is stronger? As long as I'm strong enough, what can they do?"”
"We are His Majesty's eyes and His Majesty's saber.”Wei Zhongxian and Yu Huatian expressed their loyalty.
"Then it will depend on your performance in the next seven days." Yang Guang chuckled.”
Then, he walked towards Xiao Meiniang's palace.
Now that Yang Guang had made his move, they only needed to wait for the aristocratic families to respond.
……………………
Yang Guang's actions in the morning court.
Naturally, it was also analyzed by the aristocratic families and civil and military officials.
Taichang Shaoqing Pei Yun, Internal History Assistant Minister Yu Shiji, Minister of Civil Affairs Pei Ju, Guanglu Doctor Su Wei.
It was rare for these four ministers to gather together when the court was dismissed.
"What do you think His Majesty means by this?" Su Wei did not understand.
Admit defeat?
No, judging from the methods that Yang Guang had displayed before, he was definitely a powerful person.
How could they possibly give in to the aristocratic families?
"Admit defeat?" Pei Ju said calmly. I think we should let the aristocratic families choose their sides.”
He saw it clearly.
Yang Guang's actions seemed to have increased the strength of the aristocratic families.
However, what did he improve?
The authority of the six departments had increased? Wasn't this a joke?
If Yang Guang was dissatisfied, with his current strength, he could change it!
If he was satisfied, he might not need to change it.
Wasn't this asking them to choose a side? They were obediently eating this bone and being good dogs.
He still harbored evil intentions.
" Stand in line…" Internal history assistant minister Yu Shiji looked even further."If only those people were really willing to take sides.”
"But…"
"They won't be satisfied."
Pei Yun nodded in agreement.”
"We have a good choice, but those people have a hard time.”
Although there were interest groups behind these important officials, they were attached to the Sui Dynasty.
To them, as long as His Majesty was not muddle-headed.
It was enough.
Earlier, these important officials were somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Guang's style of doing things.
But no one had expected Yang Guang to undergo such a drastic change during his third expedition against Goguryeo.
As long as he thought about how Yang Guang had endured until now and became a Martial Saint, he would have such a heroic demeanor.
They were all deeply impressed.
Now that he was giving up power, they felt Yang Guang's boldness of vision.
One had to know that according to Yang Guang, the six ministries could be said to have power in the court.
In the past, their little bit of power could not suppress the aristocratic families. The main reason for this was that Yang Guang was too suspicious.
He was eager for success and instant benefit and did not listen to others 'advice.
However, it was different now. Although he was more powerful than before, he was willing to give up power.
Aren't they satisfied with fulfilling their ambitions?
Moreover…
" If they're not satisfied, then so be it…" Pei Ju shook his head."Do we have the right to stand on the wrong side?”
Although His Majesty was now a powerful ruler, he was more overbearing than before!
If any of them dared to stand on the side of the aristocratic families, they would definitely die!!!
His entire family would be implicated.
"Don't forget that person's bloody methods.”Pei Ju sighed.
"Yeah, I hope those people will restrain themselves.”Yu Shiji also sighed.
Pei Yun and Su Wei also sighed because they knew.
Be it the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, the Taoist Faction or the Buddhist Faction, who could restrain themselves? Who could satisfy them?
It was even more impossible for the Demon Sect. They originally supported Yang Guang to ascend the throne, but now they were kicked away. How could they feel comfortable?
The five surnames, seven Wangs, and gentry clans had been suppressed so badly that they could not tolerate it.
They were willing to see Yang Guang, this powerful emperor, rise to power.
Was he willing to see the Sui Dynasty stable?
If he really let Yang Guang settle down completely, he would probably force them to a dead end step by step.
