The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 244 Emperor Yang
After dozens of days, Yecheng fell into a cold winter.

This winter, the weather was unexpectedly cold. It was not yet the twelfth lunar month, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the water surface. On the ninth day after the end of the scientific expedition, heavy snow fell in Yecheng, covering the whole world in a blanket of powder. Among the jade.

It is also rare for Yang Tong to relax. The pace of life in ancient times is not as fast as the era of information explosion. No matter how busy you are, it is not as exhausting as later generations. People in troubled times are very satisfied if they can provide food and clothing for the whole family.

Yang Tong’s Great Sui court had a complete work system, which was divided into categories. When the memorials were submitted to Yang Tong’s official case, it was actually a meaningful thing left after the scribes summarized, summarized, and reviewed.The memorials that have been filtered out will be inspected by the Imperial Ministry on a regular basis. If there are any omissions, those who handle them will be punished.As for whether someone will seize this loophole in the future to achieve ulterior motives, it is unknown, but Yang Tong feels that only when the problem really arises can he start to deal with it.

Of course, no matter how small the matter is, it is a big deal at the national level.Fortunately, due to the influence of the atmosphere, the play was clear, concise and tidy, and there was no more colorful nonsense.Because of this, although Yang Tong does not seem to be busy on weekdays, his work efficiency is very high. There is almost no backlog of official affairs.

"It seems to be cold earlier this year than in previous years." Yang Tong said with a frown as he watched the heavy snow falling outside the window.

"It was a little later last year." The eldest grandson Wugou let Yang Tong hug her slender waist, and looked at the snow scene outside the window, feeling very happy in his heart.

"Did your brother reply to the letter?" Yang Tong asked when the eldest grandson Wugou was still worried about gain and loss.She has several older brothers, but she knew that Yang Tong was referring to the eldest grandson Wuji.

"My brother wrote back... He is very valued by Li Jiancheng, and he doesn't want to come..." The eldest grandson Wugou lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Since he doesn't want to give up what he has in his hand, forget it. Wugou, in troubled times, it's a struggle between men, and it has nothing to do with you women. If your eldest brother chooses, he will be responsible for his choice. When I break Chang'an , for your sake, spare his life."

Yang Tong knew nothing about Changsun Wuji's achievements in history. His only impression was that in the "Fang Yiai's Rebellion Case", Changsun Wuji sent Li Yuanjing, Li Ke, Fang Yiai, Princess Gaoyang, Xue Wanche, Chai Lingwu, Princess Baling and others were all killed.

He and Chu Suiliang's move to eliminate political enemies had a huge impact on the Tang Dynasty. The talents who could be used by the royal relatives and relatives, such as Li Ke, Li Daozong, Xue Wanche, Zhi Shisili, etc., were not escaped from being implicated, so that when Wu Zetian came to power, No one can stop the Li family.Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang themselves were eventually purged by Wu Zetian.It can also be said that it was Changsun Wuji who cleared away the resistance of Wu Zetian.

Yang Tong didn't care if this kind of filth came to Ye City or not.This is actually his attitude towards his grandson Wugou.

"Thank you, husband." The eldest grandson Wugou smiled charmingly, looking at Yang Tong with tenderness in his eyes: "Wugou has no skills, but he will definitely not cause trouble for husband."

"I know that!" Yang Tong smiled, this woman is really as gentle and virtuous as the history says, she is a woman like water, which makes Yang Tong very satisfied.

Changsun Wugou nodded and didn't say anything else, she has already done what she can do, just like Yang Tong said, if you choose, you have to be responsible for your own choice?The delicate body leaned gently on Yang Tong's body, and he felt unprecedented security and trust in him.

"Don't think about so many messy things. If you think too much, it will be difficult to get pregnant." Yang Tong didn't know where he heard the ghost truth, but in order to appease his eldest grandson Wugou, he could only fool around like this.

Speaking of the child, the eldest grandson Wugou's beautiful eyes lit up, she said shyly: "I dreamed last night that we had a child, it was a little girl, she was white and tender, so cute."

Yang Tong laughed, "If it's a little princess, I hope she's as beautiful as you. In order to get to meet this beautiful little prince as soon as possible, we have to work harder."

The eldest grandson Wugou rolled his eyes at him, and said coquettishly: "My husband is making excuses, haven't you worked hard enough these days?"

"I want to be a father too!"

"cheeky!"

The little jade fist hit Yang Tong's shoulder, and then stroked a few times reluctantly: "The eldest sister already has a baby. This is obviously just an excuse to bully others."

"It's good that you understand!" Yang Tong has been shameless since the day he slept together.

The eldest grandson Wugou caressed his belly with his little hand, as if he was really pregnant with a baby. His pretty face was filled with the brilliance of his mother's surname, and he said softly: "My husband is the soul of Da Sui, and also the heaven of us women. But the two A younger sister said that as soon as my husband went to the battlefield, he rushed into the battle like General Qin, General Luo, and General Yuchi, and I, my eldest sister, and the emperor's grandmother were all scared. If there are more children, there will be more husbands. If you are concerned, you can feel at ease, and you won't work so hard."

Yang Tong trembled in his heart, yes, he was the hope of the Yang family, if he fell on the battlefield, the dragons of the Sui Dynasty would be leaderless and scattered, without the protection of civil and military, what would be the fate of the women in the family?It's time to reflect on yourself and stop worrying your loved ones.

The eldest grandson Wugou held his face in both hands, stared at him affectionately, lovingly stroking his blade-like eyebrows, straight nose bridge, and beautiful lips with his slender fingers, the love in his beautiful eyes was so strong that it couldn't be melted away...

Yang Tong was furiously stared at by her bright eyes, and said with a smile, "Is it because I am handsome and unrestrained, so that the concubine Xian can't put it down and has a deep love for me?"

The eldest grandson Wugou showed a sweet smile that turned all sentient beings upside down: "It's just a little small..."

Yang Tong became angry from embarrassment: "Where is it so small?"

"I mean you are young!" The eldest grandson Wugou was coquettish and reluctant, and after looking casually at Yang Tong for a while, he glanced at Shui Tianji and Li Xiuning, who were sleeping soundly, and said with a shy smile, "I'm a real concubine." No more, if your husband feels uncomfortable, the beauties in the palace are willing."

Yang Tong smiled and shook his head: "The four of you are enough, no matter how many there are, it will be distracting. It is also easy to have troublesome things like Gongdou."

For Yang Tong, who is more energetic than ordinary people, her four women are indeed a bit overwhelming, but he still doesn't want to introduce more.

"My husband always thinks differently from others." Changsun Wugou stopped persuading, no matter how magnanimous a woman is, she doesn't want her husband to bring women home one after another.

It's just that the higher the status, the more attention is paid to inheritance. Like Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid he doesn't know how many descendants he has, and the same is true of Emperor Qin and Han Wu.But the descendants of the four generations of Sui and Yang, who started from Yang Jian, have a very low limit when it comes to beauties.

Although Yang Tong did not proclaim himself emperor, everyone knew that he was the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Otherwise, there would not be such more polite titles as Concubine Xian, Concubine Wu, and Concubine Li in the inner court. With his current status, not to mention There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but 'the first empress, the second noble concubine, the fourth concubine, the nine concubines, and the nine jieyu/beauties/talents' are his standard configurations, but Yang Tong is not very interested in expanding the backyard.

Before Changsun Wugou, Shui Tianji, and Li Xiuning were forced to come over, there was only one concubine, Wei Fengwu. From outsiders' point of view, how favored the concubine had to be for the King of Qin to do this?
However, when the four sisters discussed this issue in private, they realized that the princess was still a big girl with yellow flowers after three years of marriage. According to their continuous analysis, they finally came to a conclusion that her husband inherited the blood of the Yang family and was also a A person who loves the country more than a beautiful woman does not mean that he does not love beautiful women, but mainly because he is too busy, and this is probably the reason why he ignores such things as women.

"What's so strange about this? Now that Xiao Wu is pregnant, it proves that I can make my own woman conceive a child. If there is one, there must be two. In the future, you can have more babies." Yang Tong helped her smooth her hair , smiled and said: "If I linger in Wenrou Township, this hard-working foundation may be abandoned in a short time. Do you know Chen Shubao?"

"Singing about flowers in the back garden of Yushu, I know." Changsun Wugou didn't know what to think of, and his pretty face became hot.

"Chen Shubao died in the fourth year of Renshou, and his grandfather bestowed on him the posthumous title 'Yang'. Emperor Chen Yang, do you know why his grandfather called him Emperor Yang?" Yang Tong had a strange expression on his face.

"I don't know?" Changsun Wugou blushed and shook his head

"Emperor Chen Yang was greedy for women, drunk and dreamed of death, and did not care about state affairs all day long. He did not do anything well except for giving birth to a lot of sons! When the emperor's grandfather was in charge of Jiangnan's military affairs, he knew Emperor Chen Yang very well, and then he used Chen Shubao as an example. Commandment! Emperor Chen Yang was greedy for women, but his grandfather did it instead. Emperor Chen Yang didn't care about state affairs, he was diligent in state affairs! Emperor Chen Yang didn't want to make progress, so he opened up territories...The emperor spent most of his time They were all spent patrolling the world. When they visited Xihai County, they almost froze to death in Dabadou Valley. He never slacked off a single day in his life, and never enjoyed a single day in his life. All his life, he took Emperor Chen Yang as his commandment, because He doesn't want to be Emperor Sui Yang."

The above words are what Yang Tong dug out from the memory of the original owner, and what Yang Guang said when teaching the three brothers.

But when he said this, Yang Tong felt absurd. History is always so cruel. After the death of Yang Guang in history, the posthumous title given to him by the Li and Tang Dynasty was "Emperor Sui Yang", and he was also called Blacker than ink.

In fact, looking at the 5000-year history, when it comes to the dynasties that have contributed the most to the entire nation, it is none other than the Qin, Sui and Sui dynasties.It's just that both are dynasties that connect the past and the future, innovate the old and innovate. The strides are too big, and all the disputes are great.

There are striking similarities between the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty. Both were short-lived dynasties that completed the great unification, and both perished in the second generation. Although they both perished, these two dynasties had a huge impact on the subsequent dynasties.

The Qin Dynasty unified Chinese characters, weights and measures, established prefectures and counties, and implemented the inspection system. It established a centralized system of Sangong and Jiuqing, which strengthened local rule. The Han Dynasty that overthrew the Qin Dynasty completely inherited the various systems of the Qin Dynasty.The Sui Dynasty established the system of three provinces and six ministries, initially established the official legal system, and implemented the imperial examination system, which made contributions to the subsequent dynasties. The Tang Dynasty in history also completely inherited the various governance policies of the Sui Dynasty. Both the Han and Tang Dynasties have absorbed Lessons learned from the demise of the Qin and Sui Dynasties, the system was reformed, and the strategy of self-cultivation was adopted, which became the most prosperous era recognized in history.

The Qin, Sui and Sui dynasties both built large-scale projects in terms of infrastructure, leaving behind many cultural heritages, but they also became a sign of demise. The first thing that comes to mind when referring to the Qin Dynasty is the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty; while the Sui Dynasty is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.Both the Great Wall and the Grand Canal are precious cultural heritage and historical wealth, and their benefits are obvious, but for the level of productivity in the feudal era, they mean a waste of money and people, and the final result is a large-scale peasant uprising.

Speaking of it, Yang Guang and Qin Shihuang are very similar kings, but Yang Guang did not have a generation to attract the firepower of the new dynasty, so he was notorious for his subjugation.But Qin Shihuang was much luckier, because he had his son Qin Ershi to help him divert a lot of notoriety.

Thinking of this, Yang Tong was a little apprehensive and said, "Because of me, the emperor's grandfather had the posthumous posthumous title of Emperor Taizong Wu, so this Emperor Yang of Sui could never get his turn... I'm really worried that I will be infamous through the ages. Sui III, Sui Yangdi..."

Rao is Yang Tong's boldness
But thinking of "Sui Yangdi = Faint Emperor + Tyrant + Father Killing + Brother Killing + Adulterer + Sex Maniac + Chaos and all kinds of words", I can't help but feel a little hairy.

Seeing his frightened look, eldest grandson Wugou was annoyed, funny and speechless: she knew that Yang Tong had actually done a very good job, and from the perspective of people of this era, he was impeccable.With such a huge foundation, as long as Yang Tong doesn't toss as hard as Yang Guang, even a mediocre lord can maintain the great fortune of the Sui Dynasty and eventually rule the world.

The eldest grandson Wugou didn't know that the destruction of the country by a heroic lord is sometimes more terrifying than that of a mediocre lord.In terms of the huge legacy left by Yang Jian, if Yang Guang was a mediocre lord without making any decisions, at most the Sui Dynasty would have corrupt officials, and it would not be what it is now.

But Yang Guang is not a mediocre master. He is talented and extremely narcissistic. He feels that his descendants are inferior to him.In order to leave a grand dynasty for the descendants, he wished to solve all the troubles of the descendants in his lifetime, so that he was eager for quick success and quick profit and misused the power of the people, causing this top rich second generation with the most wealth in history to lose his family property for decades. net.

After the huge empire fell apart, Yang Guang, who was going too smoothly, couldn't bear the blow of the siege of Yanmen and the corruption of state affairs, and lost his ambition to clean up the country.
