The ministers had no objections. The Ministry of Central Affairs drafted the imperial edict, which was finally reviewed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After there were no objections, they began to announce it to the world.
Today's matters in the court were announced to be over.
"Retreat!"
The head of the internal supervisor shouted, and the ministers retreated.
However, the storm caused by the lock in the court today would not end just like that. All the officials left with their hearts filled with worries.
"Is the imperial grandson planning to nurture his trusted aides?”
Yuwen Huaji returned to the mansion and began to ponder.
"This time, I didn't ask about your background. As long as you have talent, you can become the imperial grandson's underling.”
Yuwen Huaji narrowed his eyes slightly and instantly grasped the main point.
In response to this plan, Yuwen Huaji could also find some wise people to serve and accumulate merit.“
Thinking about it, Yuwen Huaji's breathing became hurried. This was so tempting.
However, Yuwen Huaji had neglected one thing. Even if those talents were found by him, they would eventually become the imperial grandson's subordinates.
In addition, he was valued by the Emperor's grandson and an important official of the court. He believed that any smart person would make a choice between the two.
Such an idea seemed to be successful, but in reality, it was also to win over the wise and capable for the court.
In fact, officials like Yuwen Huaji did have some thoughts in the past, although they had dismissed some of them because of the intimidation of the imperial grandson.
However, they would not allow their rights to be compromised.
The matters of the Imperial Court had temporarily come to an end. The Imperial Roll that recruited all the talents in the world was first posted at the gates of Luoyang.
Many commoners gathered in front of the city gate and looked around.
"The imperial grandson is recruiting all the talents in the world. Anyone with talent can work for Great Sui.”
"This is a good thing. Sages like us have a chance to get an official position.”
"You still call yourself a virtuous person?”
Some of the commoners began to discuss among themselves. Just Luoyang alone had caused such a huge storm, so naturally, there was no need to mention the storm and influence it had brought across the entire country.
The soldiers in front of the city gate maintained order to prevent any commotion.
"The Imperial Grand Sun's actions are for a wise ruler!”
Some commoners even exclaimed.
Although this move could not be compared to the imperial examination system, it was a major event for some depressed hermits in the mountains.
"This move not only allows the Imperial Grandson to absorb talents for Great Sui, but also increases his prestige and the hearts of the people.”
Xiao Yu, a relative of the royal family, sighed when he saw this scene.
The Imperial Grandson had not been in control of the Northern Lands for long, and in such a short period of time, he had already established enough achievements and prestige. It was indeed impressive.
Xiao Yu was now looking forward to what Great Sui would become after the rebel army was pacified. Would it be another golden age?
"I'm looking forward to it."
Xiao Yu stroked his beard and laughed loudly before turning to leave.
The various ministers who were paying close attention to the recruitment of the world's talents were also complicated and worried. There were also some who felt happy about this. This could be considered the various states of the officials in the court.
……
The next day, in the court.
After the proper etiquette of monarch and minister was done, it was the beginning of the court meeting.
After yesterday's episode, the matter of the imperial grandson recruiting all the talents in the world was also completed in an orderly manner.
Today, all the officials understood that it was time for the Imperial Grandson to carry out the next step of the rebellion.
According to the strategy and goals that Yang Ji had set with his grandfather, the first step was to target the Central Plains, focusing on the rebel army of the most powerful force in the Central Plains. After that, he would focus on eliminating the other forces in the surrounding areas.
In short, they would pick the bigger ones. The remaining smaller ones would be intimidated and either escape or surrender. Naturally, it would be much easier to clean them up.
"The effect of defeating the rebel army's arrogance has been achieved. What do you think should be done next?”
Yang Ji didn't say his plan. Instead, he looked at the ministers and asked.
"Your Highness, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys not too long ago has taken effect. Now that the Wagang Village is no longer a threat, Your Highness can order the army to attack and take down the Wagang Village in one fell swoop.”
Yuwen Huaji cupped his hands and stepped forward.
The matter of suppressing the rebellion should be done quickly. While the Wagang Village was weak, they should quickly attack the other party with heavy troops and completely destroy this largest force.
Yuwen Huaji didn't know the inside story about the counter-spy scheme, so he suggested this idea.
"No, if we really lead the army to attack the Wagang Village, the rebel army in the Central Plains might take the opportunity to attack and even make the whole situation even more chaotic.”
Li Tongke frowned slightly and directly opposed Yuwen Huaji's suggestion.
"I believe that we should first stabilize the situation in the Central Plains to ensure that there are no rebellions around Luoyang, the eastern capital. Only on this basis can we send troops to deal with the remaining rebel forces.”
Xiao Yu had the same intention and said.
After all, Luoyang, the eastern capital, was the foundation of the northern region of the Great Sui Dynasty. Only by eliminating the surrounding rebels could they ensure that they would not be threatened at all. Naturally, they could also send troops to other regions.
This idea was exactly the same as what Yang Ji and his grandfather had said.
"I agree. We can't be too hasty in quelling the rebellion. We should start from the Central Plains and proceed step by step.”
Li Yuan cupped his hands and said.
Since he had decided to serve the imperial grandson, he naturally did not wish for the Sui Dynasty to collapse. Instead, he hoped for a successful revival.
Yuwen Huaji frowned slightly. The power in the court had become somewhat subtle.
"What the ministers said is right. In that case, let's start dealing with the Central Plains.”
Many ministers agreed with this proposal, and this proposal coincided with Yang Ji's thoughts, so they naturally adopted it.
"There are many rebel forces around the Central Plains. Who do you think should be dealt with first?”
Then, Yang Ji narrowed his eyes.
In fact, he had already made up his mind, but he had to listen to the suggestions of the officials and see the attitudes of all parties.
"I believe that we should attack the more powerful rebels.”
Without a doubt, Yuwen Huaji, who had yet to return to the platoon, spoke again.
This suggestion coincided with Yang Ji's thoughts.
"Among the rebel forces near the Central Plains, who is the strongest?”
Seeing this, the calm Yang Ji continued to ask.
"This person, Zhu Can!"
At this point, the expressions of the civil and military officials changed. They looked at each other and said a name.
Zhu Can was the leader of the rebel army in Nanyang, the Central Plains. He was bloodthirsty and cruel.
Every time they encountered a shortage of rations, they would do many inhuman acts of eating human flesh, which made them pale at the mention of it.
