The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 602 The Finger Pagoda Donates Gold, Yang Guang Goes Out Again
To the north of the palace city of Ziwei City, there are three small cities, which are narrow and long, from south to north, namely Xuanwu City, Yaoyi City, and Yuanbi City.Xuanwu City is where the royal treasury is located. Yaoyi City is generally empty, with only a limited number of soldiers stationed at the city gates; the northernmost Yuanbi City covers the largest area and is used to defend against the enemy troops coming from the north of the city. Except for the barracks of the garrison, there is not a single redundant building. If the enemy army invades the city, it will become a turtle in the urn, and there is no shelter for them to avoid the arrows.

Among the three cities, Xuanwu City, which is long from east to west and narrow from north to south, occupies a large area, with scaled houses inside. Hanjiacang City, north of Dongcheng City, occasionally borrows the Three Cities Square to dry grain in times of stress. When the royal tax came up, the Tricity Square would be filled with grain, and most of the time it would be empty.

On the 29th day of the lunar calendar, Yang Tong and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs arrived in Xuanwu City. As soon as they arrived, everyone's eyes were dazzled.

Pairs of wide-eyed eyes were full of shock. They also saw a lot of yellow and white when they were drying grains. At that time, they were rice and corn, but now they saw gold bricks and silver bricks. The gold and silver were carefully piled up, presenting towering pagodas in front of her eyes.The golden pagoda and the silver pagoda face each other in the north and south, leaving only a gap of less than ten feet wide in the middle for pedestrians to walk.

Yang Tong shuttled between the gold and silver pagodas, his face was yellow on one side and white on the other, only the black robe on his body remained unmoved and was not stained by the gold and silver color.

"Minister Xu Jingzong pays his respects to His Majesty."

Xu Jingzong stood on the central axis of the inner library, bowing and saluting!Since then, the land has been divided into two, and the tall towers made of yellow and white objects occupy half of the land.

"Xu Qing is free."

Yang Tong waved his hands and shouted, turned to look at Luo Shixin, and asked with a smile: "Have Shixin counted, how many towers are there here, and how high are the towers?"

Luo Shixin shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, there are too many gold and silver here, the generals are too dazzled to see them carefully, so I don't have a detailed count."

"Haha!" Yang Tong laughed loudly, looked at the thin and dark Xu Jingzong, and exclaimed, "This is all the wealth that Xu Qing and the others brought to us!"

"Don't dare to be praised by the Holy One!" Xu Jingzong bowed and said modestly: "How can a mere scribe, a mere official, have such abilities? It's all thanks to the officers and men of the navy."

Yang Tong said with a smile: "Xu Qing has a seven-aperture exquisite heart, not only let me walk on the road of ninety-five supremacy, but also make it perfect, not bad."

"Xu Shijun." Luo Shixin counted carefully, and found that there were five gold pagodas and silver pagodas, each with nine stories high. He couldn't help asking curiously: "Is it possible that the Wa Kingdom is richer than my Sui Dynasty? A treasure land full of gold?"

"General!" Xu Jingzong saluted respectfully, and replied with a smile: "Not only is the Wa country not rich, but it is poor. They are as poor as you can imagine."

"You got so much gold and silver in less than half an hour, Japan is still poor?" Luo Shixin was stunned.

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "Not only is the country small and the people are isolated in the sea, but also the land is small, there are many mountains, and disasters are frequent. There are all kinds of dragons turning over, dragons absorbing water, and big storms. Their productivity is extremely low. As for living a life of ruthlessness and drinking blood, it is not much better. Of course, the nobles still live the life of a master. The country of Japan is rich in gold and silver, and the mines on the mountain are only shallowly buried under the ground. There are abundant mineral deposits, and gold mines are everywhere, but no amount of these things can fill their stomachs, and they cannot withstand the severe cold, so they are very rich, but they are very poor. The general can say that they are so poor that they only have gold and silver."

"So that's how it is." Luo Shixin was stunned upon hearing this.

Yang Tong smiled and continued to introduce: "Because of the gradual development of sea transportation, they communicated with the Central Plains dynasty, and exchanged gold and silver for daily necessities, such as porcelain from the Central Plains, silk from the Central Plains, paper books from the Central Plains, medicines from the Central Plains, weapons from the Central Plains... Even the carpets and garments in the Central Plains cannot be expressed simply by money, but reflect a person’s status. These items in the Central Plains can only be enjoyed by nobles in the Japanese State. If you are just an ordinary person, no matter how rich you are, No, it’s just like the old Central Plains merchants were not allowed to ride horses or take concubines, and were only allowed to wear black cloth.”

Xu Jingzong was extremely shocked when he heard it, he only knew about the situation there when he came to Wa country, but when he came to Yang Tong, he said it like a treasure, and he knew more details than himself.

"Your Majesty, you sent the navy to attack the coast of the Japanese country for these gold and silver?" Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Xu Jingzong couldn't help asking.

In the past six months, they have killed Japanese corpses all over the field and blood flowed into rivers. The so-called city in that ghost place is not full of feet, and its weapons and equipment are terribly poor. Except for the desperate charge of the Japanese, they did not kill at all. challenge.The navy has wiped out many Japanese states and tyrants, which is the fundamental reason why they have obtained so much gold and silver.

"Gold and silver are one reason, and the other reason is to broaden the horizons of soldiers, so that our soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty will always maintain strong combat effectiveness in the war."

Yang Tong said solemnly: "I am a civilized person in the Central Plains who will not offend me, and I will not offend others. The conservative way of peace is the most important thing. Compared with foreign races, I have always lacked blood. Only when foreign races invade will I be passive. Take the initiative to conquer."

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, because the war had just ended, they could still maintain the style of martial arts, but when this generation withered one after another, the blood of the people in the Central Plains would slowly disappear in ease, and when the foreign enemies invaded the border, they found that they had no collar. A general of a soldier, a soldier who is invincible. Even when the enemy invades the country, there are still many peacemakers in the country who obstruct the army from counterattacking, which is very undesirable."

This problem is actually something that inevitably happens in every dynasty and every generation. When the world is in chaos, countless heroes and heroes have been created;In troubled times, a good general is extremely important, so there is an old saying that a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

But after the world is peaceful, governance is the main thing.

As a result, an all-powerful general can only idle at home with nothing to do. After the generals, because they have no battles to fight, they can only rely on the merits of their parents to get into a idle position. However, because they have no achievements, it is difficult to get promoted.

Even if the famous generals are in such a difficult situation, those warriors who do not have a good background will find it extremely difficult to get an official position. As a result, fewer and fewer people are willing to learn martial arts and join the army, and more and more civil servants in the court The more, over time, it will lead to a situation where there are no generals in the court and literati in charge of the army.

When the Central Plains Dynasty entered this unhealthy state, the surrounding alien races continued to fight because of the belief of the weak and the harsh living environment, which made the overall combat power stronger and stronger, and finally resulted in a situation where the enemy was strong and we were weak, and foreign invaders invaded.This is unavoidable in any dynasty.The most typical in history is the Song Dynasty.The wealth of the Song Dynasty was the highest among all dynasties, but since there was no war, the fighting power of the Great Song Forbidden Army has reached an outrageous level.

Most of the Sui Wenwu who had recovered from the shock of the Golden Pagoda and Silver Pagoda nodded in agreement.

The Sui Dynasty established the country with martial arts and suppressed the barbarians. Naturally, it is necessary to maintain the style of martial arts. If it is fully turned to civil rule, the so-called benevolence and morality will be used to educate and restrain the barbarians... Not to mention whether the barbarians will listen to you. They will do nothing and die of old age in comfort, and their next generation will turn to literature and Taoism because they have no battles to fight. This is still the case in the family of generals, let alone the gentry who pass down poems and books. If one or two generals appear, then They are also geniuses who occasionally emerge from the people, but due to their bad background, even if they can lead the army, they are still heavily restricted. This kind of generals generally did not die at the hands of foreign enemies, but died in internal struggles, because the court was afraid of this. People rise up, and it belongs to their interests, so they try their best to kill him.

"The barbarians are vulgar and vulgar. They believe that the strong are respected. They don't understand benevolence and morality at all. Applying benevolence and kingship is like playing the piano to a cow. I ruled the world in the Sui Dynasty, and all countries entered the court to claim their vassals, relying on soldiers. The benefit. The two Jin Dynasties have become popular, and the poems, books and articles have been popular for generations, but in the end, the Wuhu ravages the Central Plains! Therefore, if I, the Sui Dynasty, want to dominate the world and prosper for generations, I must despise literature and emphasize military affairs. , can not be negligent for a while! Those who speak their horses to Nanshan and put their knives and guns into the warehouse are really harboring evil intentions, trying to overthrow the great Sui society and frustrate our determination to fight the sky in the Central Plains!"

"How to make the style of martial arts last forever?" Yang Tong looked at the ministers of civil and military affairs, and replied, "That is to constantly launch foreign wars, maintain a strong army through wars, and discover and train a new generation of good generals. Only in this way, the army He and the commander-in-chief will not fall into a situation where there is no connection."

"Holy!"

Kong Yingda, a great Confucian, paced out, cupped his hands and said, "For thousands of years, great chaos must be followed by great rule. Only in this way can a country prosper. In the chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty, the cultural landscape of Han Dynasty paid attention to production, stayed away from the flames of war, and appeared everywhere. The scene of peace created a strong and prosperous Han Dynasty. However, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu many times, the sea was empty and the people were in dire straits. , Externally using morality to bring order to the world, after Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he mobilized troops again and again, and made the world look like this."

Disguised as a personal guard, Yang Guang, who was wearing a visor, turned black when he heard this, and really wanted to slap Kong Yingda.

Kong Yingdayu continued unknowingly: "All these examples confirm the saying that 'although a country is large, it will perish if it is warlike'. However, since the emperor entered Jizhou in this dynasty, there have been wars, but why are they fighting more and more? Qiang, why is this?"

"Even though a country is great and warlike, it will perish; though the world is peaceful, it will be in danger if it forgets war." This is a very good saying. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Sui Dynasty brought prosperity to poverty because they did not understand the true meaning of war. But I understand, So the more you fight, the richer you get."

Yang Tong looked at Yang Guang amusedly, and continued: "A 10-man army needs hundreds of thousands of peasants to carry grain, and a stone of grain reaches the battlefield with at most one bucket left. If the war takes place in a remote place, Even one bucket is not enough, and the other nine buckets are eaten by the peasants. If the enemy cuts off the food supply, or even the entire army, the enemy wipes out all the food. In this way, not only the army and food will be lost, but also several 10 people missed the farming season, and after several battles, the national treasury was empty, and the people were transporting grain, which left their fields barren and unable to pay taxes. But the emperors of all dynasties didn't care about these things. The people are separated from the fields and there is no food to produce, and if there are corrupt officials filling their pockets, the people will naturally have no way to live, and there is still a way to live in rebellion. If you don’t choose, you will definitely die, so you can only take risks.”

"And when I fight, I always pass the war expenses on to the enemy. Not only will the national treasury not be empty, but it will make countless profits; the people don't have to pay an extra bucket of rice, but because of the great victory, they will get the cows and horses presented by the court, and they will live a good life from then on. , They will not oppose war. If the war is not to occupy the other side's territory, it must be severely exploited, and the enemy's wealth should be used to support the army and the people of one's own side! This is the case with the Turks, Tuyuhun, and Japan."

"I think that 'a country that is big and warlike will surely perish' refers to people's livelihood, money and food, and has nothing to do with the army and the war itself. If the war cannot obtain post-war dividends, it becomes meaningless. In short , War is similar to business, you have to lose money if you don’t make money. And I’m lucky, I have never lost money in these years.” Yang Tong said very smugly.

The audience suddenly fell silent.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty has always prided itself on being a state of etiquette, paying attention to convincing people with reason.As for Yang Tong's words, they are undoubtedly deviant!
But this was the Sui Dynasty, an era deeply indoctrinated by Hu people, and his words resonated strongly with others.

"What the Holy Majesty said is very true. As the so-called non-my race, their hearts must be different! They should be educated with an iron-blooded army."

"These barbarians have always regarded our Central Plains people as fat sheep. Once the Central Plains declines, the frontier people will face tragic torture."

"To the barbarians, we can't repeat the mistakes we made before, and we must never show mercy to them!"

"..."

"If these words today fall into the ears of a bunch of hypocritical Confucians, they will definitely say that I am militaristic in the Sui Dynasty." Kong Yingda who said this has a kind of detachment and freedom of "everyone is drunk but I am sober". Confucianism pursues a strategy of inclusiveness and absorption of everything, not to mention inclusiveness and forging ahead. It also allows the existence of theories of agriculture, mathematics, engineering, medicine, military science, etc., which can be regarded as a heterogeneous.

Yang Tong laughed: "The Great Wall at the frontier is the backing of the attack. On the premise of ensuring that the people on our own side will not be disturbed, we can send troops outside the territory without any worries. It is definitely not a cage for the emperor and ministers of the Sui Dynasty. We, the Sui Dynasty, must not rest on our laurels. We must always have the ambition to attack, and defeated Turkic, Goguryeo, and the countries of the Western Regions. There are many countries outside the Western Regions. We know that there is the Wa Kingdom in the sea to the east... who knows what other countries are in the east of the Wa Kingdom? The south of the Sui Dynasty is Linyi. Who knows what country is in the south of Linyi? There is Tianzhu in the southwest, and what country will there be after that? No one knows now. Only by conquering and witnessing one by one can we see a new side Heaven and Earth, therefore, generals will never fall into the predicament of standing on the credit book and having nothing to fight."

"it is good!"

There was an uproar in the audience.

Yang Guang was also taken aback, Dong'er said these things very well today, her vision is wider than all the subjects!

More than just subjects?
Even he, Yang Guang, was lost in the prosperity of the time before and complacent, wasn't he?If it weren't for the fact that there were still aristocratic families standing in the way of the Great Sui's succession, and it was necessary for him to defeat him, I'm afraid he would have been content to shut himself up in Ziwei City and live a life of a hedonistic emperor.

Just when Yang Guang was full of emotions, Yang Tong's voice sounded again, "Mencius said: Born in sorrow and died in peace! As the helmsman of the great Sui Dynasty, we must not stand still. Please lead by example. , always maintain a determination to forge ahead, and strive to build a magnificent empire that will shake the past and the present, and let the name of my monarch and ministers be passed down forever!"

The generals could only hear their blood boiling, and felt a surge of blood rushing from the bottom of their hearts, straight to their brains!Looking frantically at Yang Tong who is in high spirits,
roared

"The Great Sui has been passed down forever!"

"The Great Sui has been passed down forever!"

"..."

It is not for nothing that Yang Tong brought all the civil and military officials to visit the Jinyin Pagoda and talked so much.The generals of the DPRK and China all thought that the coming year would be the year of reunification, and everyone wanted to participate in this "final battle". Once the generals with this mentality go to the battlefield, they will have a brilliant record to be the leader of their military career. In order to obtain partial personal credit, they ignored the overall situation and let the friendly army and the court be responsible for their actions. Naturally, the results outweighed the losses.

Those who did not participate in the war felt even more uncomfortable.

He brought these people here to let everyone know that the Great Sui's unification of the world is just the beginning, not the end. In the future, there will be opportunities for meritorious deeds, and there is no need to strive for overnight success; The most fertile concept, let them know that there is gold everywhere outside the Sui Dynasty, and cultivate everyone's curiosity and exploration, so that future generations will look outside instead of always staring at the one-acre three-point land in front of them.

Wait until the scene calms down.

Yang Tong pointed to a golden pagoda beside him and said: "People in the world often pursue perfection, but no one has ever been able to obtain it. 'Nine' is the ultimate number. I have nine pagodas. If I am too greedy, I am afraid that I will be jealous. I will Give one of the ten to the ministers!"

Everyone looked at Yang Tong in shock.The emperor was well versed in the way of punishment and reward, with clear rewards and punishments, and a measure of kindness!It is unbelievable that he has given away a golden pagoda by opening his mouth.

"Give me a piece of brick as a reward for a year's hard work!" Yang Tong said with a smile, "Everyone take it back and use it as a ruler. If any child is disobedient, reward him with a few bricks."

"Thank you, Lord!"

All the ministers bowed and bowed.

"The pagoda is well placed, I saw it!" Yang Tong looked at the old eunuch Yang Chao, and said, "Except for this golden pagoda, the rest are put into the inner storage, and Shurawei will help."

"Here!"

Yin Mingyue and Yang Chao bowed and took orders.

"Xu Qing!"

"The minister is here." Xu Jingzong hurried over.

"Are you going to serve as an official in the court, or continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Navy's Second Fleet?"

"My lord, I am willing to continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the army!" Xu Jingzong knew that there were countless capable people in the court, and he didn't have much room to play in the emperor. On the contrary, he was in the Second Fleet of the Navy. He was a soul-like existence. After making enough meritorious service, fame and power will naturally follow, and it is not too late to become an official in the court by then.

"Okay! You have worked hard all the way, rest for a while, and then go to the Changshan Islands in the next year. You will use Dachangshan Island as your logistics, take Sado Island as your frontier, and gradually move closer to Japan. When the domestic affairs are over, I will join you Send troops."

Turning the money of the Wa Kingdom into the money of the Great Sui Dynasty was an important step for Yang Tong to conquer the world. As long as there is enough gold and silver, the gold standard and the silver standard can be implemented, thus causing the world's wealth to flow into the Sui Dynasty.

"The humble officials will surely live up to the great trust of the Holy Majesty!"

Xu Jingzong blushed with excitement.

He is very keen on naming counties and counties. He listened to His Majesty's wishes, and I am afraid that he will occupy the entire Wa Kingdom in the future. If there is a "Jingzong City" or "Jingzong County", it is no problem to leave a name in the history, and he will have no regrets in this life. up!

"Do you know this Sado Island?"

"My lord, Sado Island is far away from the Japanese mainland, because it is too poor and has few people. The island is mostly rocky and has very little fertile land. Since ancient times, it has been the place of exile for the nobles of the Japanese country. The ministers and others took this island as their frontier."

"Coincidentally!" Yang Tong said excitedly, "I tell you, the most abundant gold mountains and silver seas in the Japanese country are buried in the mountains of this island. If there are enough people, it will not be a problem to mine four to fifty thousand catties of gold a year." , there will be more gold and silver. I will send some craftsmen to go find mines with you. After finding the mines, just capture the Japanese to dig mines. I don’t care how much you torment me. Well, I will send [-] more slaves with you, Feng Laihong Commander Canghai, you are the commander of the marching army, and your base is this Sado Island. Don't let me down."

Although Yang Tong knew that there must be gold mines on Sado Island, but on such a big island, he didn't know where the mines were, so he could only send more people there.As far as he knows, during the most prosperous period of Sado Island, nearly 40 tons of gold could be unearthed every year, and even more silver.Since the Japanese are all beasts, it is better to deal with them with slave soldiers of beasts.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely mine this mine. If there are people in the mine, there will be death in the mine." Xu Jingzong knew that the key lies in the mine.

"There are people in the mine, and the lost mine can be recovered. Remember, safety is the first priority in everything."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Jingzong was extremely grateful.

After Xu Jingzong was arranged, Yang Tong asked the generals present to dismantle a golden pagoda, and each of them divided a brick.

After the distribution was over, everyone dispersed as ordered, leaving only Yang Guang wearing a visor.It is very common for Asura guards to wear face masks, and Yang Guang's appearance did not arouse suspicion.

The grandfather and grandson walked straight to Honghui Hall without saying a word.

When Empress Xiao saw the grandparents and grandchildren coming, she hurriedly retreated to the left and right, leaving only Yang Qinfang pouring tea for them.

Yang Guang took off his lower armor, looked at Yang Tong with a wry smile, and said, "After hearing what you said just now, I realized that I don't know how to fight. I didn't understand the profound meaning of war at all."

Empress Xiao and Yang Qinfang were taken aback.

They clearly remembered that Yang Guang destroyed the Chen Dynasty and unified the world. After becoming emperor, he went south to Linyi, went west to conquer the Western Regions, destroyed Tuyuhun with his own hands, brought the vast Qinghai Road into the territory of the Sui Dynasty, and also went on an expedition Lin Yi introduced Zhancheng rice into the Sui Dynasty, and sent troops across the sea to conquer Liuqiu. Which of the various achievements was not achieved under his rule?But now he said that he can't fight, which is really strange.

"Although I won most of the wars I launched, the result was the same as that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The result of the victory was that the people of the Sui Dynasty were miserable and the people complained. Why? Because every time a war starts, it will consume a lot of national power, and the one who fights is one The country's human, material and financial resources."

"Isn't war all about spending money like water?" Yang Qinfang asked.

"I used to think, just like you, that I never thought of making a profit through war, and I never even thought about it. As long as the enemy kneels down and surrenders, the matter will pass like this. This kind of battle is quite loss-making, so the Sui Dynasty In my hands, the more I fought, the poorer I became, and in the end, everyone betrayed their relatives, and the mountains and rivers were broken. But this guy..."

Pointing to Yang Tong, Yang Guang said in an ambiguous tone: "He believes that the ultimate purpose of war is to make profit, which includes both land and money. The money, food, livestock, and slaves he obtained through the war It far exceeds the expenditure, so the more he fights, the richer he becomes, the stronger he becomes, and the more he fights, the more stable the people's hearts are. I won't say much before, let's take the small country of Wa as an example. This kid only sends a fleet out. Gold Mountain and Silver Sea are easy to get. By the way, how many are there?"

Yang Tong said: "There are [-] catties of gold and silver each, and some will be shipped in one after another."

Empress Xiao couldn't help being shocked from the bottom of her heart: "How is this possible!"

They also saw the Tower of Gold and Silver, but they were still shocked when Yang Tong told the exact amount.

"The Wa country is rich in gold and silver, and it is so poor that only gold and silver are left. After I occupy it, I can mine more. Such a large amount of gold is enough to make the national power of the Sui Dynasty even better." Yang Tong smiled. Said.

"I'm just curious, how do you know that Sado Island has mines?" Yang Guang asked a lot of curious words.

"Kindman said it." Yang Tong already had an excuse.

"That woman just wants to use the Sui Dynasty to help Silla get rid of the Wa country, you also believe her words?" Yang Guang sneered.

"Try it, just in case."

Yang Guang stared at Yang Tong for a long time, until he got hairy, then suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile, "Chen Shubao, do you know?"

"Empress Chen, of course I know." Yang Tong didn't understand why his grandfather suddenly mentioned this long-dead literary emperor.

"Chen Shubao died in the fourth year of Renshou, and I posthumously awarded him the posthumous title of General Yang."

"Pfft!" Yang Tong, who had just taken a sip of tea, spat out, looking at Yang Guang with a strange look.

Yang Guang sighed and said: "Chen Shubao is greedy and lustful. He only knows about drunkenness and dreams all day long, and doesn't care about state affairs. The great country of the Chen Dynasty was ruined by him. When I was the prince, I swore that if I became the master of the world, I would use Chen Shubao as a mirror." Afterwards, I spent most of my time patrolling the world, not daring to slack off for a day, and not daring to have fun for a day. I have been commanded by Emperor Chen Yang in my life, and the purpose is that I must never become Emperor Yang of Sui."

"..." Yang Tong was speechless.

After a long time, he said: "Emperor Chen Yang has no achievements other than giving birth to a lot of wine bags and rice bags. I am also afraid that I will become Emperor Yang of Sui, so I also use him as a negative example. I dare not be greedy, lustful, and diligent. in government affairs."

Yang Guang said with a half-smile: "The reason why I talked about Chen Shubao with you is because I think you have the potential of Emperor Yangdi Chen."

"Grandfather, I disagree with what you said."

"I have been pretending to be a guard by your side for so many days, and I have observed you for several days, and found that you are actually lustful, but fortunately, you know how to restrain yourself."

Yang Qinfang let out a "poof" and laughed wildly.

"Unfounded."

"Kindman said something casually, and you went all out to find the mine. You are so gullible in a foreign woman, do you dare to say that you have not fallen into her beauty trap?"

"That's really not the case." Yang Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the basis for his lust was actually this, there was really no place to complain...

"I heard that both Princess Zhang Zhung and Kinderman want to marry Sui?"

"It is true, but I refuse."

"You are worried about the crown prince dispute."

"A little bit!" Yang Tong said frankly.

"This is where you are immature!" Yang Guang smiled slightly: "If you want to occupy Xiangxiong and Silla in the future, starting with blood is the best opportunity, and it is also the most legitimate excuse to include them in the territory of the Sui Dynasty. As for As far as the crown prince is concerned, you don't have to worry at all. Although you say that you are treated equally every day, the princes of the blood of a small country have not had the power and qualifications to inherit the power and qualifications of the Central Plains Dynasty from the very beginning. Although these princes and ministers are noble, they are not pure There is no way to compare the princes of the Han family. What is this? This is the difference between a concubine and a concubine, even countless times lower than a concubine with a pure blood. Foreigners, the subjects will never agree, without the support of the subjects, why are you worried about the battle for the crown prince?"

Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses!

In his eyes, children are not much different.

If he married Princess Zhangzhung and had sons, he would treat all sons equally, but the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the emperor of the Chinese nation, wanted to draw a clear line with foreign nations. , It’s not much different from traitors.But when this kind of mixed-race child arrives in his mother's home country, he not only has the noble blood of his own country, but also the blood of the kingdom of the heavens.Calculated in this way, it seems that asking for a wife of a foreign race and giving birth to a child of mixed race is easier for a foreign race to accept than conquering by force, and it cannot even be forced. Various policies and enlightenment can be promoted logically.

"Understood?" Yang Guang asked meaningfully.

Yang Tong nodded and said, "Understood!"

"Don't you want to accept Princess Zhang Zhung, the princess of Silla, and even princesses from all over the world?"

"A bit! A bit is just a bit." They have already refused, and Yang Tong will naturally not go back on what he says.

Yang Qinfang said sourly: "I also said that I am not lustful."

Yang Tong proudly said: "I donate for the country, sacrifice my life for the country, and think about the country and the people."

"Shameless!" Yang Qinfang despised
Yang Guang didn't bother to pay attention to them, he looked at Yang Tong and said, "I helped you solve a problem, should you let me out?"

"Grandmother agrees, so I agree!" Yang Guang was deceived by Li Yuan for most of his life, and he was very unwilling to accept it. He insisted on going to Sichuan himself to disturb Li Tang's rear.

People who are almost sixty, still go to Bashu to fight guerrillas?You come and go in the wind and rain, if you are really tossed to death, wouldn't the family that was reunited just now have to feel sad for you again?So Yang Tong never agreed.

"Dong'er, I know you're doing it for my own good, you don't want me to go to the battlefield, and you want me to live a few years in peace, but I just can't sit still, I want to do something for Sui and you. "Yang Guang's face was full of bitterness, and there was a hint of pleading in his voice.

"Dong'er, promise him!" Empress Xiao sighed, knowing that her husband was ashamed, and wanted to fight again in his lifetime to make his grandson go more smoothly. Not at ease."

Yang Tong also roughly understood his grandfather's heart, and he would probably do the same thing if he were himself. Seeing that his grandmother agreed, he naturally couldn't go back on his word, and murmured: "I can promise, but you can only be a military adviser, and you must not take risks in battle."

Yang Guang said happily: "I have always wanted to witness the reunification of the Sui Dynasty with my own eyes, so I haven't personally acted in these years, so you can rest assured."

"Besides Shen Guang, who else does the emperor need to help?"

"Yang Yichen and Shen Guang are enough. We don't need anyone. By the way, our army in Bashu is called the Taihe Army. Don't make trouble about your own family killing your own family."

Yang Tong nodded and said, "I sent a hundred Asura Guards to the imperial grandfather's command, mainly responsible for flying eagles to communicate, so that the two sides can communicate."

"It couldn't be better." Yang Guang didn't refuse.
