Chapter 1351 Incident
By the end of the year, Wang Yan was really busy, and even his whole family was busy.

Not only did Princess Yu and others come to visit, but many other wealthy families also sent their top performers who could represent the family to come to Wang Yan to seek favors during the year-end grand worship.

Some people came to make friends and win over others, and some came to ask for favors. These were all secondary. There were even quite a few children from poor families who did not go home during the New Year and came to Wang Yan to recommend themselves, hoping to be appreciated by Wang Yan, become Wang Yan's lackeys, and do things for Wang Yan.

This was of course due to Wang Yan's good reputation. Because he educated the children of farmers, he found many children from poor families to be their teachers and promised that they would give them the opportunity to become officials in the future.

Even though Yang Jian has now implemented the imperial examination system, the power of the wealthy and powerful families is still very strong. The imperial examination is only used to select a part of the people. The remaining official positions are still controlled by the wealthy and powerful families, and they can still recommend and arrange them.

Wang Yan is not from a wealthy family, but he is already a real big shot. He is also a staunch royal lackey, the crown prince's top card, and the God of War of the Sui Dynasty. Of course, he is also qualified to assign jobs to people.

After defeating the Turks, he sent all the poor children who he had tricked into teaching farm children to the grasslands to serve as officials, in order to fulfill his promise and to strengthen his control over the grasslands.

In addition to his influence on the Turkic troops and the border troops of the Sui Dynasty, to a certain extent, he had considerable influence on the military and political affairs from Bingzhou to the grassland.

To put it bluntly, things he agreed to might not necessarily work, but things he disagreed with would definitely not work. But he was a royal lackey, so he never disagreed, but his influence was there.

To be more specific, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang in Taiyuan, also had to rely on Wang...

He was really good at teaching and arranged so many poor children to work for him, so he had a very good reputation among them. Zhuangzi from all over the country were all poor children who took the initiative to apply for teaching positions.

Among them, the most direct and courageous ones came directly to Daxing to recommend themselves.

Wang Yan's attitude towards them was very good. He met everyone who came, invited everyone to dinner, had a drink or two, and chatted with them. Some were assigned jobs, while others were not, saying that the positions were limited and they had to wait a while.

There were actually not many positions he could influence, and there were also very few positions he could arrange. The wealthy and powerful were all restricting his development. But he could always arrange some. For those he couldn't, he still had his business interests. He could also pay for the construction of schools in the local area, so that these people could become teachers, and he could arrange them again if there was a chance.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for everyone to be satisfied, but the children from poor families all know Wang Yan's situation and they all understand it.

They actually knew that even if they became officials, their future would not be easy and they would have to kowtow all the way. After all, Wang Yan was a ready-made example. Of course, Wang Yan did not kowtow, but that was how Wang Yan was collectively excluded by the wealthy and powerful families.

Fortunately, Wang Yan is so awesome and has the value of existing. At the same time, all his dirty tricks don't work. This is how he maintains his transcendent position in the court. He is not afraid of anyone and dares to provoke anyone, but he is still fine.

However, it is precisely because of this that the poor children can at least guarantee their safety by joining Wang Yan. Wang Yan will one day take charge of the central government, and they will also one day rise to prominence.

Even if they were not assigned a job, Wang Yan's treatment was well known. In summary, no matter what you do, as long as you follow Wang Yan, you will have meat to eat.

Again, it means that there is meat to eat literally. After so many years of development, no matter how the wealthy families arrange Wang Yan, the meat of the entire Sui Dynasty is here. The prices of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep are decreasing year by year...

In addition to these people who came to see Wang Yan, some of Wang Yan's old subordinates and some people who had been helped by him also came to him to express their loyalty.

In addition, the Wang family's huge business empire, which is scattered throughout the Great Sui Dynasty, has selected shopkeepers in charge of different regions and has also come to Daxing City to meet the head of the family, listen to the latest instructions, make a plan for the coming year, etc. Of course, it is mainly Xiao Mei who contacts these people, and Wang Yan just comes out to eat and drink with them and encourage them.

Xiao Mei was responsible for scaring and beating people up. She had a deep control over these people. When it came to playing tricks and manipulating people's hearts, Xiao Mei was an expert...

With so many people coming and going to visit Lao Wang's house, Lao Wang's house actually has the atmosphere of a big family.

These things were seen by others. It was the first time for them to see the Wang family so lively and feel the power of the Wang family today.

Because of Wang Yan's own strength, people are always used to ignoring the power controlled by Wang Yan. Wang Yan is a wealthy businessman and an invincible god of war. To the common people, the poor and the soldiers, he is like Mengchangjun. He is willing to spend money, he risked his life to save his soldiers, he gave many people opportunities, and he led many people to live a good life.

Only then did they realize that Wang Yan had already become so powerful...

However, Li Yuan had realized this very early on.

On this day, Wang Yan was summoned to the Eastern Palace and met Li Yuan and Li Shimin.

"Zi Yan is here."

"Greetings, Duke Danyang." Li Yuan greeted him politely, and Li Shimin also bowed beside him.

Wang Yan smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "You are the Duke of the State, and I am the Duke of the County. I should be the one to greet you."

"Duke Danyang, you are joking. You are invincible and brave. You destroyed the Turkic nation. Your contribution is invaluable. It is reasonable for me to meet Duke Danyang."

"Okay, don't be polite." Yang Guang waved his hand and said with a smile, "I asked you to come here because Duke Tang also wants to participate in maritime trade. You can take them to play. Is there any problem?"

Wang Yan simply bowed and said, "Your Highness is scolding again. Just follow your orders. I will do whatever your Highness says. Speaking of maritime trade, there is some good news recently, but I haven't reported it to your Highness yet."

"Oh? Have you found new land again?"

"Your Highness is indeed in control of all worldly affairs." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "Just east of our Shenzhou, at the end of the East China Sea, there is a new land. It is said that they have found a number of gold and iron mines. The land there is also flat, and they have brought back a lot of seeds. I have already arranged to go there and try planting them in the spring."

"Great." Yang Guang clapped his hands happily, "Is there any country over there that can rival our Great Sui?"

"No, my Great Sui Dynasty is invincible in the universe." Wang Yan said firmly.

"Hahaha~"

Yang Guang laughed wildly, and Wang Yan, Li Yuan and Li Shimin also laughed along, and Li Yuan even said nice things to support him.

He waved his hand with satisfaction and said, "Send someone over there as soon as possible to see what the situation is over there and see if there is anything else that can be used by me."

"Yes, Your Highness. After the New Year, I will gather the wealthy families and ask them to go with us to build a port over there. They should contribute more at this time. We can't be the only ones to bleed and suffer."

"That's right, it's time for them to show their talents. Right, Duke Tang?"

Facing Yang Guang's smiling question, Li Yuan nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Lord Danyang, when my family has formed a fleet, I will act with Lord Danyang's fleet. I don't ask for much profit, but only to expand the territory for my Great Sui. Bring all the good things in the universe back to the land of my Great Sui."

"You are wrong, Duke Tang. As the saying goes, all land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects. Where is not the land of our Great Sui Dynasty?"

"Yes, yes, Duke Danyang is right. The whole world belongs to our Great Sui Dynasty." Then Yang Guang laughed again, very satisfied.

There is no doubt that Li Yuan came to surrender to Yang Guang, and Yang Guang accepted Li Yuan's surrender, so he called Wang Yan over and took Li Yuan overseas to make money.

Yang Guang was always dissatisfied with Li Yuan. When defeating Chen, Li Yuan killed Zhang Lihua, which made Yang Guang feel resentful. So he looked for an opportunity to frame Li Yuan, drove Li Yuan out of Daxing and drove him to Taiyuan. At the same time, he sent people to kill him, but was saved by Qin Qiong.

At that time, the Sui Dynasty was at its peak and Yang Guang's power was growing. Li Yuan felt like he had a thorn in his side and was unable to sit still. In addition, Yang Jian's health was getting worse and worse. Li Yuan finally made up his mind and kowtowed to Yang Guang.

In fact, Yang Guang asked Wang Yan to come over for another reason, which was to stop him from making things difficult for Li Yuan in Taiyuan in the future.

Yang Guang had been in Taiyuan, and Wang Yan had also served as a general of cavalry there. Even though Yang Liang, the King of Han, was also there, they were not good enough. The power there is still in the hands of Yang Guang. Wang Yan's prestige has not dissipated to this day, and all the people there are his old subordinates.

Even if the troops were disbanded after the battle and the officers were sent to other troops, there would always be some left. Moreover, Wang Yan's influence did not come from the officers, but from the lower-level soldiers. Even if there were no officers, he could send someone over to incite the soldiers to mutiny, not to mention that there were still many officers loyal to him.

So Li Yuan's life there was not easy either. He was walking on thin ice and was trembling with fear.

Now running over to kowtow to Yang Guang, Wang Yan could see that although Li Yuan was still a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, he had already relaxed.

Li Shimin didn't say much on the side. He smiled when everyone was talking, and laughed along with everyone else. He was observing silently.

Wang Yan could sense that Li Shimin was analyzing and studying what kind of players Yang Guang and he, Wang, were.

Unfortunately, Li Shimin was still very immature at the moment, and even if he was the future Heavenly Khan, he could not analyze Wang Yan. And Yang Guang had a dog-like face, and his moods were unpredictable, and Li Shimin could not tell either.

Wang Yan stayed for dinner, and they all praised each other for their business, and the matter was over. From now on, they were on the same front...

A few more days passed, and finally it was time for the grand court meeting before the New Year.

Except for those who had official business, almost all the princes from all over the country who could come came. It was also at this time that Wang Yan saw Yang Jian after a long absence.

He was the Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, and of course he had to participate in the grand worship on the first and fifteenth day of each month. However, precisely because he was the Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, he used official business as an excuse to take a large group of children on patrols for a long time. After taking office as the Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, he basically rarely saw Yang Jian.

Others were also happy that he didn't come to court, so that he wouldn't express his opinions in court and scold anyone. Although everyone said that they would get angry and resort to violence during court, it was obvious that Wang Yan was different.

In addition, there were no military operations on weekdays, and even if there were, it was not to the point where Wang Yan would be dispatched, so everyone had tacitly ignored Wang Yan.

By the end of the year, the Duke of Danyang's mansion was crowded with people, and everyone began to think about it and started to inquire about and study Wang Yan's current power.

Of course, everyone smiled when they saw Wang Yan.

Wang Yan's position was already very high, but during the grand court meeting, he still fell into the middle position. Because all the kings outside were there, he, the county duke, was not very conspicuous.

But Wang Yan didn't care. He put his hands in his sleeves and sat cross-legged on one side. The position was good as the pillar of the hall was right next to him, so he leaned lazily against the pillar.

There was a report being made in the field, talking about the prosperity of the country, the happy people's livelihood, and boasting about Yang Jian's achievements.

Yang Jian sat high on the dragon throne, overlooking his empire.

Wang Yan had good eyesight and could clearly see that Yang Jian's complexion was abnormally rosy, his eyes were quite sunken, he had lost a lot of weight, his lips were dry, and his breathing was uneven.

It is said that this summer, Yang Jian favored Princess Chen, also known as Lady Xuanhua. Because of this, Dugu Jialuo had a conflict with Yang Jian, and Dugu Jialuo's health was not good.

Wang Yan hasn't seen his mother-in-law for a long time, but Qionghua often brings her children to the palace to talk. She told Wang Yan that Dugu Jialuo's health is getting worse and worse, and her chronic illness is difficult to cure.

According to Wang Yan's judgment, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo would basically not survive the next year.

There was nothing wrong with Dugu Jialuo's death, but Wang Yan was to blame for Yang Jian's death. After all, he helped Yang Guang ascend to the throne three years earlier, and Yang Guang was also ruthless, and he directly poisoned his own father, which led to Yang Jian's early death.

Of course, the main reason is still Yang Guang's fault, and it has nothing to do with Wang Yan. Wang is loyal and an absolute loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty...

After participating in the Grand Court Assembly, which is the imperial palace banquet during the New Year, there is the Grand Court Assembly on the 15th, plus lantern viewing and other activities. After all this, the new year begins.

The various princes left, the Sui Dynasty continued to function, and Wang Yan's life once again returned to its original track.

He devoted himself to agricultural research at the expanded Sinong Temple, planting crops such as peppers, peanuts, potatoes, corn, etc. brought back from the other side of the ocean, and also improved other seeds.

In order to carry out the work, he transferred some of his own staff over, instead of splitting the research into two parts. He was still very knowledgeable and didn't need to divide it so clearly, after all, it would all be his in the future.

The country was relatively peaceful, as the influence of the Turkic invasion was still there. However, the four barbarians were unwilling to change their evil nature and began to probe and cause trouble for no reason. Some small-scale conflicts broke out on the border, but the Sui Dynasty did not take them seriously. It just sent Shi Wansui to the west to fight Tuyuhun.

At present, we still have to deal with the Baiyue and Lingnan in the south. Once the south is stabilized and the court has accumulated enough money, food, weapons and armaments, then it will be time to start another war in the north.

At present, the court officials are still aware of these things. As long as Wang Yan eats well, drinks well and takes good care of his health, and the country saves enough money, they can send Wang Yan to the battlefield. It may not necessarily destroy the country, but it will definitely be a great victory.

Therefore, the dynasty became stable again, with only waves of political struggles, mainly those launched by Yang Guang to eliminate dissidents and suppress wealthy families.

None of these disturbances could affect Wang Yan, as his existence was already a trump card in Yang Guang's hands. As long as he was given military power, the four directions would immediately submit to him, and whatever Yang Guang said would be his fate.

However, obviously, in view of Wang Yan's power, Yang Jian and Yang Guang also tacitly suppressed Wang Yan.

Wang Yan didn't care. He honestly engaged in business, farming and raising pigs, and secretly enclosed land everywhere. The wealthy families also turned a blind eye and followed him to make a fortune overseas, earning a lot of wealth, and everyone was happy.

The peace lasted until September, when Dugu Jialuo died.

However, everyone's pretended grief did not last for two months. On the evening of November 10, Yang Guang urgently summoned Wang Yan and asked him to take his troops and go to the East Palace in armor and weapons.

On this day, it snowed heavily in Daxing...

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
