The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 403 Fang Xuanling's Once and For All

A light flashed in Changsun Wugou's mind, and his phoenix eyes sparkled, and he said: "My husband gave the emperor's sister-in-law's mansion as a gift at the family banquet, and asked her to live outside. The empress dowager and the empress dowager all agreed, but when the emperor's wife thanked her, everyone changed. The reason where?"

"Second Sister means..." Xiao Wu softly consulted if she had realized something.

"The empress dowager, empress dowager, and Nanyang aunt who had the same experience felt deeply for the disillusioned, pitiful, and charming appearance of the sister-in-law... She didn't say anything, but the effect was stronger than anything else. She was pitiful Win everyone's sympathy, and thus successfully move into the palace, which is convenient for follow-up actions."

The eldest grandson Wugou frowned slightly, then relaxed it immediately, and said with a smile: "She hides everything well, but she forgets herself."

"What's the explanation?" Shui Tianji asked
The eldest grandson Wugou said with a light smile: "The aristocratic family attaches great importance to family style, especially the Guandong gentry who claim to be the orthodox of the Han family. Their political status has been inferior to that of Zahu since the beginning of Wuhu chaos."

Shui Tianji asked puzzledly, "Miscellaneous Hu? What is Zahu?"

"'Miscellaneous Hu' is a term of contempt and curse for the Kanto gentry who claim to be the authentic Han nationality." Changsun Wugou thought for a while, pointed to his nose, then pointed to Li Xiuning, and said: "We both have Han Chinese and Xianbei blood , is the miscellaneous beard in the mouth of the Kanto gentry."

"The Guandong gentry looked down on Zahu, but their political status was far inferior to the Guanlong family who was the leader of Zahu. It was not until the founding of the Sui Dynasty, and Emperor Wen and Wu promoted Han studies and advocated Han etiquette, that their status rose step by step. But it was frozen for three days. In a single day, they have been suppressed for hundreds of years, and their status cannot be raised overnight. In order to show their nobility, some families deliberately reject the marriage proposals of the royal family and generals, and step on the supreme dignity and authority to elevate their status , making the world feel that they are noble and noble.”

"Women of the Kanto gentry represent the face of a family, so they have been trained rigorously since they were young. Most of the outstanding women trained are knowledgeable, luxurious and generous. It can be called a model among women."

"Brother Yan Wang was the emperor in Pei's mind back then. As the queen's candidate, the emperor's wife was the most talented, intelligent, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable. According to normal reasoning, the emperor's wife who is knowledgeable and courteous should avoid suspicion and should It is very unreasonable to refuse the queen mother's kindness, but she does not."

"'Given by the elders, but the young dare not resign' is also a courtesy, and it is not wrong for her to obey the orders of the elders." Shui Tianji has learned a lot in sinology over the years.

"Third Sister is right!" Changsun Wugou said: "But 'the elder bestows, the younger dare not resign' after reaching the royal family, it is a small festival."

"Why?"

"The royal family is selfless. Loyalty, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness come first, followed by filial piety and fraternity! The emperor's sister-in-law became a royal earlier than the elder sister. She will not understand this truth, and she has a history with her husband. In a relationship, you should know how to avoid suspicion, but she still doesn't."

Shui Tianji suddenly said: "This woman is really worried and kind! We should tell our husband, otherwise it will be too late."

"No!" Xiao Wu, eldest grandson Wugou, and Li Xiuning said in unison.

Xiao Wu explained to the bewildered Shui Tianji: "Our suspicion is not supported by any evidence. It would be bad if the husband misunderstood her as a jealous wife. Divorce comes out of seven, and jealousy is the sixth."

"Out of the seven, adultery is the second. I feel that all three of us committed crimes last night. Now it's all right. There is only one fourth child left." Shui Tianji rounded her beautiful eyes and looked serious.

"puff"

Li Xiuning couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xiao Wu and eldest grandson Wugou blushed.

Li Xiuning suppressed a smile: "The lewdness refers to the wife having an improper relationship with a man other than her husband. It doesn't matter how crazy you and your husband are."

"It's because I've been worried all the time, so I've been helping my husband deal with you all the time." Shui Tianji, who understood, heaved a sigh of relief.
The three of them had black lines all over their faces...

No wonder this woman is so active as an accomplice every time. It turns out that she is trying not to punish the public.

Xiao Wu was defeated by her, and if she continued, she didn't know what shocking words this stupid woman could say, so she quickly waved her hand, "Back to the topic, don't ramble, otherwise I won't finish talking until tomorrow."

Li Xiuning smiled slightly: "If the emperor's sister-in-law really has a problem, I think, I know what she's planning."

"I would like to hear more about it." The faces of the girls became serious.

Li Xiuning: "The next step may be to take care of the children as an excuse to come to Chaohui Hall from time to time, to win the favor of our sisters with a charming and pitiful demeanor, and then approach my husband step by step."

Xiao Wu was furious: "She wants to snatch my husband, she's dreaming."

The eldest grandson Wugou was amused by Xiao Wu's cute demeanor, and couldn't help pinching Xiao Wu's tender face.

Xiao Wu felt that she was being slighted, and she stared in embarrassment, "I am a big woman, second child, you should respect it..."

"Yes, yes, you are not only a big wife, but also a queen, who dares to disrespect you?" The eldest grandson Wugou beside him was overjoyed, saying respect, but his little hands naturally wrapped around Xiao Wu's slender waist, very intimate He bit her ear.

Xiao Wu shrank her neck and said angrily: "You have also turned bad!"

Li Xiuning pursed her lips and smiled, and said seriously: "Stop making trouble, let's get down to business."

"Then tell me quickly, what should we do?" Xiao Wu asked, pushing the eldest grandson Wugou hard.

Li Xiuning showed a thoughtful look, and said softly: "The emperor's sister-in-law will definitely not show any flaws in front of our eyes, and it is useless for us to stare at her. It's too much to scare the snake, we want everything to go on as usual."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up when she heard this: "You mean..."

"Not bad!" Li Xiuning nodded slightly.

Xiao Wuhui said: "Come here, please invite Director Jiang and General Yin!"

"Here!"

Shui Tianji said: "By the way, what is the action called every time my husband fights. Shouldn't we also have a name?"

"Operation to protect the husband." Xiao Wu said domineeringly.

The eldest grandson Wugou saw her look of contempt, and he felt teasing again, leaned in front of Xiao Wu and gave her a breath of fragrance, and said with a smile: "Oh, it seems that our empress is thinking of spring again..."

Xiao Wu's pretty face blushed slightly, but she didn't act coy, instead she took it for granted: "I miss my man, who cares?"

The eldest grandson Wugou stared, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "But the man you want is also our man!"

Xiao Wu retorted: "Is that so? It's only natural for women to listen to what their men say, but last night when your husband asked you to do something, you pushed back and forth. I didn't realize it was your man!"

When it comes to bickering skills, how can Changsun Wugou be Xiaowu's opponent?She blushed and said angrily, "I'm not as shameless as you, don't you feel ashamed?"

"I have no face or skin? I don't know who is calling for more..."

"Oh, shut up!"

"Bengong is right, why did you shut up? By the way, when you were bragging about that, how did the third child smell..."

"Don't say it, you're ashamed to death!"

"Every time you do it, you are the most shameless. This intoxicated appearance makes me fall in love with this woman. Why are you pretending to be a lady now?"

"I'll tear your mouth off you damn girl..."

"Oh, my third child, help me, Concubine Xian has rebelled..."

Naturally, the words in the room would not be heard by the outside, but laughter like silver bells poured out from the cracks in the window lattice.

. . . . . . . . . .

Only those who were born in this era can know the power of the family and the power of Yang Guang. Not to mention a series of huge projects and a series of foreign wars, just in terms of balance, he is better than many emperors .

in the early days of his reign.

The Guanlong Group, the nobles of the Guandong gentry, the gentry of the south of the Yangtze River, the honorable relatives of foreign relatives, the children of poor families... Almost all political factions can find their own spokespersons in the court.And the representatives of these factions restrain each other and guard against each other, forming a strange balance.With the help of this delicate balance, Yang Guang eroded the power of the Guanlong family step by step,
The most perfect thing in the world is balance, and the most difficult thing to achieve is also balance...

This shows how outstanding Yang Guang's ability is.

It's a pity that he made the mistake of eager for quick success in the later stage, and ruined the good situation, causing the Sui Dynasty to fall apart due to the exhaustion of national power.

Although Yang Xuangan's rebellion and peasant uprising shook the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, it was the rebellion of nobles such as Xiao Xian and Li Yuan that really broke the foundation of the Sui Dynasty.Judging from the current situation, it is a derivative of the game between the imperial power of the world and the aristocratic family.

In the contest of hard power, the imperial power was completely defeated by the aristocratic family.

……

Some people also said that if Yang Guang was only emperor for half his life, then his achievements would be enough to instantly kill more than [-]% of emperors.

Yang Guang unified the north and the south, settled Khitan, conquered Linyi and recovered Hainan Island, inspected Qinghai and annexed Tuyuhun, formed alliances with dozens of countries in the Western Regions, established the Eastern Capital, established imperial examinations, opened the Grand Canal, built Luokou warehouses, issued "Daye Law", collected books 37 volumes...An emperor who only did one thing is enough to leave his name in history, but Yang Guangquan did it...

What would happen if he took a step forward?What about history books?
Another example is Li Yuan, the Li and Tang Dynasty he built was full of vicissitudes and pacified the princes from all walks of life. However, what he left in the history books was an image of incompetence and cowardice.

Therefore, judging whether an emperor is good or bad, strong or weak does not depend on how much he has contributed to the world and the nation, but on the pen.

In ancient times when educational resources were poor, the pen was controlled by the aristocratic family. Therefore, whether an emperor was good or bad was up to them.

This is the victory of the family's soft power.

It is precisely because they understand the soft power of the family that Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Ling Jing all looked sour when they heard Yang Tong's imaginings.

In order for the four ministers to understand better, Yang Tong first explained the doubts of his wives, and then he even talked about the experience of having a relationship with Pei Qinghua. As for the matter of stealing the forbidden fruit, naturally he would not explain.

After listening to Yang Tong's words, the four of them felt their scalps go numb. Uncles and sisters-in-law were cast aside by the world for having adulterous affairs. If the crime of murdering brothers is added, then they will never be able to hold their heads up in this life. Some people will spread the news, but those aristocratic families in the Central Plains can spread the news.

Thinking of the consequences, one and two shuddered.

Yang Gongren pleaded guilty sweatingly: "My lord, this is all my fault. If I didn't care too much about the reputation of the royal family, I wouldn't have been taken advantage of by Pei and Li Mi."

"I'm in charge of the Black Ice Terrace, but I can't clearly see the hidden dangers in it. The blame is hard to cover." Ling Jing also said, with strong shame in his eyes.

"This is a conspiracy based on the reputation of the royal family. Whether I want to or not, I can't let people in the royal family go out! Based on this, there are a series of conspiracies and tricks! And... the thoughts of my kings and ministers in the Sui Dynasty are all The military examination and the envoys of various countries gave them the best opportunity. No wonder everyone."

Yang Tong smiled and said, "The enemy has already attacked, how do you guys think we should respond?"

"My lord!" Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said, "I thought that within a few days, someone would attack the Tianchan Temple where Zen Master Wangchen became a monk. Under the premise that the number of people was unknown, they would mobilize all the forces of the Black Ice Platform and the internal guards to monitor everything in the Tianchan Temple. Everyone, be sure to move Zen Master Wangchen to a safe place before the enemy attacks. Once someone attacks, kill him immediately!"

Yang Tong said dissatisfied: "If there is one, there must be another. I don't want someone to make a fuss about this again next time."

"The simple and easy way is to let Princess Yan take the opportunity to feign her death, and live her life again in incognito." Fang Xuanling said
"This is a good way. Let's do it this way." After Pei Qinghua's death, there will be one less reason for others to attack his character, and Yang Tan is safe, which is the best of both worlds.Pei Qinghua was the former lover of Yang Tong, and had nothing to do with the current Yang Tong.Besides, as long as he said a word, a lot of women would come to his door.There is really no need to have anything to do with this.

Yang Gongren, Du Ruhui, and Ling Jing heard the words, but there was an ambiguous look in their eyes when they looked at Yang Tong. From their understanding, it became like this: If Pei Qinghua faked his death, he would not only save the secret tricks in the future, but also use another face to communicate with Yang Tong. complex.
