The heads of the noble families gathered in groups of three or five, and finally, under the leadership of Dugu Feng, Yuan Shu, Gao Ying and Yin Shishi, they soon came in front of Yang Zhao and others.
At this time, Yang Zhao, wearing a luxurious dragon robe, stood tall, like a sharp sword.
Beside Yang Zhao were the Confucian general Chen Zhibao in white robe and silver armor, the fierce general Xin Wenli in red robe from the Hei family, and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Zuo Yiwei Army, each with 3,000 men, forming a protective formation.
"My three uncles, my father-in-law, and all the uncles from the noble families, how about we come in here together?"
See the arrival of a group of top powerful people from the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Zhao behaved in a very gentle manner, but his noble aura gave people an invisible power, as if it could be imprinted directly into people's souls.
Even Dugu Feng, Yuan Shu, Gao Ying and Yin Shishi saw Yang Zhao like this for the first time.
Faced with such power, everyone's heart trembled violently.
The many heads of noble families present were not uninformed people, and they were quite familiar with the Martial Saint, the Emperor and so on.
But even so, the invisible power from Yang Zhao still frightened everyone.
Even Yang Guang, who had been on the throne for several years, was unable to suppress everyone present with his sheer power. Only the former Emperor Wen, Yang Jian, had such majesty.
The reaction of the people present.
Yang Zhao didn't care and didn't wait for others to answer. After everyone arrived, he turned around and strode towards the Xuanwu Gate under the protection of Chen Zhibao and Xin Wenli.
Today, almost the entire Daxing City is under Yang Zhao's control.
Before Yang Zhao and others arrived, the three-meter-high palace gate of the imperial city had already burst open. Yin Hongzhi, wearing a luxurious armor, came up with the imperial guards.
"Your Highness, since Yang Guang moved to Guangdong, the Taiji Palace and other palaces have been closed. Dai Wang Yang You is now in charge of government affairs in the Wenhua Palace under the command of the Eastern Palace."
"In addition, the palace guards, eunuchs, etc. have all been sorted out."
Yin Shishi was the General of the Left Guard whom Yang Guang trusted very much, while Yin Hongzhi was the commander of the imperial guards who was personally appointed by the former King of Dai Yang You in order to win over Yin Shishi.
It has to be said that both Yang Guang and Yang You, the grandfather and grandson, were very visionary.
Yang Zhao smiled and said, "This Dai Wang Yang You, is my nephew, right? But he lacks some courage, so I will not go to the East Palace. Ah Bao, send a team of people to escort Dai Wang to Taiji Palace."
After saying that, Yang Zhao led everyone and went straight to the Taiji Hall.
The Taiji Hall is the main hall of the Sui Dynasty Imperial Palace. Just like the Zichen Hall of the Song Dynasty Imperial Palace, it is a ceremonial hall specially used for grand court meetings and receiving foreign guests.
In a sense, Yang Zhao went to the Taiji Hall in order to go straight to the emperor's throne in one step.
As for Yang Zhao's decision, the people in the back were also surprised, but it was not a good time to discuss it noisily.
Soon, in the Taiji Hall.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Yang Zhao effortlessly sucked the dragon throne off the dragon platform and sat on it with his mighty horse and golden sword.
Not yet on the dragon platform, but already sitting on the dragon throne.
This was a way for Yang Zhao to save some face for Yang Guang, but he also unscrupulously revealed his own ambitions.
At the same time, under the personal leadership of Chen Zhibao, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, quickly came in front of Yang Zhao.
"Are you Yang Zhao, the son of the former deposed crown prince?"
"Master Yin Shishi, Yin Hongzhi, you and your son have received great favors from my grandfather, how could you betray the Great Sui Dynasty and commit such a heinous act?"
"Dugu Feng, Yuan Shu, Wei Yuanzhao, Gao Zuo, where is the backbone of your noble families?"
As soon as Yang You landed, he started to talk nonsense, criticizing everyone in the Tai Chi Hall.
Yang You does have some of the nobility and dignity of a prince or grandson of an emperor, but he is too immature and has grown up in the deep palace, so even if he has some aura, it is weak.
In response to Yang You's angry attack, people like Dugu Feng, Yuan Shu, Yin Shishi, Gao Ying and others were all silent.
Only Yang Zhao glanced at the young man and smiled gently, "I didn't expect that my second uncle's grandson is quite fierce. He is really good."
Chapter 412: Meeting in the Palace
In the grand, vast, solemn and luxurious Tai Chi Hall, the young man stood stubbornly and sprayed everyone present. In the end, he couldn't help it and his eyes were red.
As a prince and grandson of the emperor, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he already knew a lot.
Overnight, he went from being the King of Dai who stayed behind in Daxing City to being a prisoner.
No one knows how deep the psychological shadow of this young man is.
Yang You was originally eating hot pot and singing in the Wenhua Hall under the East Palace. Suddenly, he was taken to the Taiji Hall by a team of strong soldiers in a very rude way.
To be honest, Yang You was very strong at that time because he didn't cry on the spot.
"You want to kill me?"
Facing Yang Zhao's evaluation, Yang You calmed down, then looked at Yang Zhao with some anger and fear, trying hard to hold back the tears, refusing them to fall.
Yang Zhao smiled and said, "What would you do if I killed you?"
Yang You's face was sad, and his eyes were full of stubbornness. He said, "You are my uncle, blood is thicker than water, right?"
The most stubborn expression, speaking the most cowardly words.
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing Yang You's words, Yang Guangda laughed out loud, then rubbed Yang You's head and said, "You are right, our blood is thicker than water, it's okay if we don't kill each other, tell me first, what are you going to do in the future?"
Yang You frowned and said, "Uncle, can I be a rich and idle person?"
Yang Zhao patted Yang You on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you are a smart kid. Don't worry, I am not as inhumane as your grandfather. Be honest in the future. You are still the blood descendant of our Yang family. Do you understand?"
Yang You nodded and said, "I understand. Don't form cliques or try to escape. I understand."
Yang Zhao laughed and said, "Okay, go play in the palace. Uncle has arranged some people in there and will tell you some things. Go ahead."
It has to be said that the royal offspring are very precocious and smart.
Only after Yang You was taken to the depths of the imperial palace by the eunuchs did Yang Zhao turn his attention to the people in the hall.
He restrained his previous gentleness and displayed his majestic power again.
Yang Zhao swept his eyes over everyone and said, "The imperial decree is that Dugu Feng, Yuan Shu, Yin Shishi, Gao Ying, and Zhangsun Wuji form a cabinet, preside over the Shangshu Province, and govern Guanzhong."
"Decree that Wei Yuanzhao be appointed as the prefect of Daxing City and restore order in Daxing as soon as possible and rectify the city's defenses."
"Imperial decree, Yuan Shu is the Minister of Personnel, and he is to come up with a suitable official appointment strategy as soon as possible."
"Imperial decree, Gao Ying is the Minister of Revenue, to coordinate the treasuries inside and outside Daxing City, organize spring ploughing, and do not delay people's livelihood."
"edict……"
"I decree that from this day on, Daxing City will be renamed Chang'an."
Regarding the governance of the entire Daxing City, no, regarding the governance of Chang'an and Guanzhong, Yang Zhao and Changsun Wuji had already worked out a complete set of plans long ago, and would soon make arrangements for all the people present.
No one present objected to Yang Zhao's arrangement.
It can be said that almost all the people who can appear in this hall are shrewd people with extremely active eyelids.
It was basically a foregone conclusion that Yang Zhao would take over Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong area.
After receiving the imperial edict, most of the people quickly retreated, leaving only Dugu Feng, Yuan Shu, Yin Shishi, Gao Ying and Changsun Wuji still in the hall.
After the crowd retreated, soon, new figures appeared silently.
The people who appeared in the hall later were none other than the high-ranking members of the Great Sui Demon Sect who had been unified.
In the Sui Dynasty, the survival space of the underworld was very small due to the squeeze of the aristocratic families.
After these Great Sui Dynasty Demon Sects were integrated by Zhu Yuyan, they became intelligence departments such as Houguan, Jinyiwei, and Liufutang very early on.
After Zhu Yuyan appeared in the hall, she quickly presented a stack of information to Yang Zhao.
After Yang Zhao quickly scanned the information, his face showed no sign of strangeness. He casually handed a stack of information to Changsun Wuji and said, "You guys can take a look at it too. After you read this information, we can talk about other things."
Five people in the hall.
Changsun Wuji is Yang Zhao's elder brother-in-law and his trusted adviser.
Yin Shishi is Yang Zhao's father-in-law, and can barely be considered a general or a prime minister.
Gao Ying is the uncle of Changsun Wuji and his sister, and they have a close relationship.
Dugu Feng and Yuan Shu, one is a relative of the former Empress Dugu, and the other is a relative of Yang Zhao's mother Yuan. They are worthy of being won over and initially trusted.
The intelligence circulated among the five people.
It was only a cup of tea time, and the expressions on the five people's faces changed slightly.
Yang Zhao did not ask Zhangsun Wuji, Yin Shishi, and Gao Ying, but looked at Dugu Feng and Yuan Shu, and said, "My two uncles, you are my maternal relatives, and you will definitely be the pillars of my court in the future. What do you think, how should we deal with the noble families recorded in this book?"
The intelligence collected by the Demon Sect included information about the private soldiers of the major families in Chang'an City.
Whether it is the top-level families such as the Dugu family, the Yuwen family, the Yuan family, and the Li family, or the first-class families such as the Jingzhao Wei family, the Du family, and the Gao family.
The power of every family in Chang'an City has been investigated clearly, and the number is quite astonishing.
The Yuwen and Li clans alone, each of which has thousands of slaves and a large number of shield and sword soldiers in the city of Chang'an. Once armed, they will be a powerful army.
In addition, there are aristocratic families of all sizes, ranging from thousands to hundreds.
All the aristocratic families in Chang'an City combined can actually gather no less than 100,000 fully armed private soldiers. There is no doubt that this poses a huge threat to the stability of Chang'an City.
Dugu Feng and Yuan Shu looked at each other, both of them complaining in their hearts.
No wonder he promised such great benefits to the two families, including presiding over the Secretariat and various official positions. It turned out that he wanted to cut the flesh from the two families first.
The price of being called 'uncle' is really too high.
Looking at the changes in Dugu Feng and Yuan Shu's expressions, Yang Zhao had a blank expression, while Changsun Wuji, Yin Shishi, and Gao Ying were all grinning.
Yuan Shu couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, these servants and soldiers are also for us to protect our family and maintain the safety of our home..."
Yang Zhao suddenly interrupted and said, "Uncle, my mother has already descended from Kunlun Guangmingding. She will be back in Chang'an in half a month at most. You don't want my mother to see our family ruined and suffering heavy casualties after she returns, and then turn against me, right?"
Threats, very straightforward threats.
Yuan Shu looked so annoyed that he had no excuse even if he wanted to turn hostile.
Yang Zhao's mother, Yuan, was the legitimate daughter of the Yuan clan. If even the Yuan clan did not support Yang Zhao, and his family was destroyed, it was not anyone else's fault.
Chapter 413: The two trembling heads of the Dugu and Yuan clans
The power of the aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty was extremely terrifying. They were too powerful to be eliminated and had complex intertwined networks.
This kind of disaster for aristocratic families cannot be completely eliminated in a short period of time.
But for Yang Zhao, even if he could not eradicate the entire aristocratic family from the dynasty in a short period of time, he still had a bottom line to a certain extent.
The bottom line is private soldiers.
Especially in the early stage of this momentum stage, if all the aristocratic families in the entire Daxing City could easily gather hundreds of thousands of private soldiers, once the situation recurs, the threat to Yang Zhao would be extremely huge.
In the Tai Chi Hall.
Yang Zhao sat upright on the dragon throne, his upper body straight and slightly leaning forward. Even though there was no trace of martial arts energy leaking out, he exuded a terrifying pressure that made it impossible to look directly at him.
Live the Qi and nourish the body.
Yang Zhao became the leader of the Ming Cult and one of the two saints in the Song Dynasty. Both were supreme positions that were decided by his word and unchangeable. He developed an aura of majesty that made people tremble with fear early on.
Facing this, Yang Zhao remained silent, like a giant dragon overlooking.
Even though Yuan Shu had lived for decades and was in control of the entire huge Yuan clan system, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and even had thin beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
Destroy the family and eliminate the Yuan clan.
Yuan Shu didn't believe that Yang Zhao would really dare to do such a thing.
But at the same time, Yuan Shu didn't dare to gamble.
For a whole cup of tea, Yuan Shu neither answered nor agreed to Yang Zhao's questioning.
This behavior made Yang Zhao impatient. A hint of sharpness and sternness flashed across his eyes. He said, "It seems that Uncle is doubting my determination, or Uncle has not yet understood the seriousness of the matter."
After hearing Yang Zhao's words, Yuan Shu and Dugu Feng both looked at Yang Zhao with some confusion.
Yang Zhao said expressionlessly, "Yang Guang is stupid and cruel. Almost half of the aristocratic families are waiting for someone to overturn the chessboard and reshuffle the cards."
"No one else can do this, because only my Yang family can make the first move in this game of chess."
"Daxing City and Guanzhong are the starting point and foundation of this palace. They are the starting point of my Yang family's revival of the chaotic world. Whoever stops me in this matter will destroy the foundation of my Yang family. When the time comes, all the royal family members will rise up and kill in Guanzhong until the mountains and rivers are shattered and the sea of blood floats. It is reasonable, right?"
