    Time flies, and we will soon enter the third year of Daye.

    At the beginning of the year, Yang Guang appointed Zhang Heng as the Censor's Office. He dismissed the Prime Minister's post and made him solely in charge of the Censor's Office.  It's hard to say whether he was promoted or demoted. Zhang Heng's presence among the prime ministers was originally low. In the past two years, the core affairs around Yang Guang have gradually shifted to Yu Shiji and Pei Yun.  For Zhang Heng, he was already upright and straightforward, so it seemed more suitable to serve as the imperial censor.

    "However, Huang Mingyuan is a little worried. Zhang Heng has not changed much in the past two years compared to before, but the emperor's character has undergone great changes.  Zhang Heng also treated the emperor as a servant to the king of Jin and the prince, so as to avoid Yang Guang's alienation.

    ??At least in Huang Mingyuan's view, Zhang Heng's dismissal as prime minister was a signal that Yang Guang wanted to abandon those direct ministers who did not like flattery.

    In the same month, Nayan Yang Daqian was appointed as the General of the Right Guards and resigned from the prime ministership.

    Yang Da, the indifferent prime minister, finally resigned.  He became prime minister mainly because of his clan status, but Yang Guang did not value the clan.

    In February, Yang Guang ordered the internal historian to order Yang Yue to go to the capital to worship the ancestral temple.  When Yang Yue walked to his hometown of Huayin, he thought of his brother's new death, so he decided to take a detour to pay his respects.  After the censor learned about this, he wrote a letter of impeachment, and Yang Yue was convicted and dismissed from office.

    At the beginning of the third year of the whole great cause, Yang Guang dismissed the three prime ministers in one go. At this time, only Su Wei, Niu Hong, Pei Ju, and Huang Mingyuan were left among the eight prime ministers who had just ascended the throne.  Yang Guang did not increase the number of candidates for prime minister. Instead, he appointed Pei Yun as the Minister of Huangmen and Yu Shiji as the Minister of Internal History to participate in the government affairs.

    Whenever there were political affairs in the DPRK, Yang Guang would discuss them with Pei Yun and Yu Shiji, and then hand them over to the court officials, excluding the prime ministers Su Wei and Niu Hong.

    Su Wei, Niu Hong, and Pei Ju are not ministers with strong personalities, and they dare not compete with Yang Guang for power. Huang Mingyuan has become the second Yang Da and does not participate in many affairs.  As for Pei Yun and Yu Shiji, they only accepted promises and did not dare to disobey, so all power was in the hands of Yang Guang.

    Yang Guangda has monopoly power, driving the behemoth Sui at high speed on Yang Guang's unique track and cannot stop.  At this point, no one can cool down the speeding train.

    In March, the second day of Xinhai (the second day of the Lunar New Year), Yang Guang returned to Chang'an.

    In the middle of the month, news came that Prince Min Yang Yong and his six sons were all dead.

    Huang Mingyuan was shocked when he heard the news. Wasn't it Yang Yong's son who was exiled to Lingnan?  Why did he die so quickly?

    After Yang Yong passed away, he left eight sons.  Among them, Yang Yu died early due to the previous assassination of Huang Mingyuan, and Yang Yan died due to the Renshou Palace Incident. Six others are still alive.

    Although Yang Yan was the mastermind of the Renshou Palace incident, Huang Mingyuan persuaded Yang Guang not to announce his name, and only recommended it to Liu Shu and Yuan Yan.  After all, Yang Yan and Yang Yong were too deeply involved, and it was easy for them to give false information to the unruly people.

    Yang Guang agreed with Huang Mingyuan¡¯s approach.

    It was said that Yang Yan was recuperating in Langzhou. It was not until the beginning of the first year of Daye, when Huang Mingyuan put down Yang Liang's rebellion, that news came out that Yang Yan had died of illness in Langzhou.

    As for Yang Yong¡¯s disciples, Yang Guang didn¡¯t think about dealing with them at first.

    ??The year before last, King Yang Lun of Teng and King Yang Ji of Wei were accused of resenting and cursing the emperor, so they were expelled as citizens and exiled to border counties.  And Yang Guang thought of his six nephews.

    For Yang Guang, the six sons left by the former prince are hidden dangers.  Who knew that these people would be exploited by someone with ulterior motives and escape secretly, so they would set up a banner to rebel.  If you can't succeed in this kind of thing, you will be tortured to death, and if you don't succeed, you will be disgusted to death.

    Yang Guang doesn¡¯t want to leave any more troubles, and hopes to get rid of the problem once and for all.

    At that time, Prince Yang Zhao of Yuande knew what Yang Guang was thinking, and desperately asked Yang Guang to plead for mercy on behalf of these cousins.  Frankly speaking, if these people are imprisoned, no one will know their life or death in a few years.  But if it is done recklessly, once word spreads, it will give some people with evil intentions the opportunity to slander the emperor.

    At that time, Yang Guang had not completely made up his mind, and Yang Zhao begged for mercy, so he agreed to Yang Zhao's request.  Yang Yong's six sons were also imprisoned in Chang'an's Internal Affairs Ministry and cut off from the outside world.

    But who knew that God would not bless people, and Yang Zhao would have died early.  Yang Guang, who was not worried about the heir issue at first, became anxious because of this. Yang Jian was a bastard, and Yang Ji and other grandsons were still young. If something went wrong, he would not even have an heir.

    While Yang Guang made up his mind to create humans, he also determined to eradicate Yang Yong's six sons.

    At this time, someone came to help Yang Guang solve his problems.

    When Yang Yong was deposed, Yun Zhaoxun's father Yun Dingxing and Prince Zongwei's commander Shi Cheqi General Yan Bi were both convicted of flattering Prince Yang Yong. They, their wives and children were confiscated by the government as?Slave.  After two years, he was released as a citizen.

    ????????????????? But both of them have special skills, they are good at the art industry, and they are unparalleled in handicrafts, construction, and carpentry.  After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he carried out a lot of construction work. Hearing that their ideas were ingenious, he summoned them to take charge of the construction work and appointed Yan Bi as the minister of court.

    Yun Dingxing bribed Yuwenshu with the pearl tent and other treasures he got from his daughter, made him his friend, and used fancy clothes and novel music to flatter Yuwenshu.  Then he also made many exquisite clothes, weapons, armor, etc., which were presented by Yu Wenshu to flatter the emperor.

    Yun Dingxing put in more effort than Yan Pi, but the results were not as good as Yan Pi.

    Yuwenshu liked Yun Dingxing very much. At that time, Yang Guang wanted to conquer the barbarians and build a large number of weapons. Yuwenshu recommended Yun Dingxing to supervise the construction. Yang Guang agreed, but still did not grant him the position.

    Yun Dingxing was really puzzled, so he asked Yuwenshu the reason.

    Yu Wenshu said to Yun Dingxing: "You have such good craftsmanship, and the weapons and weapons you make are all in line with the saint's wishes, but you can't get an official job. Do you know why? That's because Prince Min's sons are all  He¡¯s not dead yet!¡±

    Yun Dingxing was full of anger after hearing this, and said harshly: "These useless things, the emperor should kill them!" Yang Guang was very happy after hearing this, and made Yun Dingxing the Shaofu Cheng.

    At this time, Yu Wenshu said to Yang Guang: "Prince Min's sons have grown up. Now you are about to send troops to conquer the barbarians. If you let them follow you on the expedition, it will be difficult to control them. If you leave them in one place,  , and I¡¯m afraid something is wrong. It¡¯s difficult to advance or retreat, so please handle it as soon as possible.¡±

    Yang Guang then decided to execute several nephews.

    Huang Mingyuan advised at that time not to take action in Chang'an to avoid people talking too much.  Yang Guang thought it was reasonable, so he exiled Yang Yong's six sons to Lingnan and sent people to kill them all on the road.

    Huang Mingyuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He suggested that Yang Guang exile Yang Yong's sons, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to save a few of them. Unexpectedly, Yang Guang was so ruthless that he directly killed them all.  According to legend, it was Yun Dingxing who executed Yang Yong's six sons on behalf of the emperor, including his grandson Yang Jun, King of Ancheng.

    Yang Guang also distributed Yang Yong's concubines to his close followers. Cheng Ji, the mother of Yang Yu, the former king of Yingchuan, gave them to Huang Mingyuan.  Looking at Cheng Ji, who was an old lady, Huang Mingyuan secretly swore that if he didn't want his wife and concubines to end up like this, he couldn't lose, and he had no way out.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
