The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 927 Unlucky Yang Guang

When Yu Wenkai built Daxing City, he piled up soil in Qujiang Pond to form an island in the center of the lake. The island has continuous palaces and undulating pavilions. The main scene is today's Furong Garden. There are precious flowers and trees on the island, green and lush, lotus in the shallow water beside the island, and Qujiang Pond with rippling blue waves in the distance.

It is about ten feet from the shore to the island, connected by a wide curved bridge. The bridge is paved with bluestone slabs, and on both sides are white marble railings carved with lions, tigers and beasts, which only reach the height of an adult's waist. The lotus leaves sway.

In order to encourage the prosperity of Han culture in Daxing City, Furong Garden was open to the public most of the time, and low-level officials similar to palace supervisors were assigned to guard it to prevent theft of pictures, texts and calligraphy left by literati.

But sometimes, Furong Garden will also block a certain area, for example, a certain building needs to be repaired, for example, the emperor is here, or for example, someone rents out a building for a banquet...

In the name of entertaining guests, Yang Tong had someone seal up the Furong Building, the main building of Furong Garden. This building is five stories high and is also the tallest building in the south of Daxing City. Yang Tong and Yang Guang, who had just arrived at the highest floor, looked down at the surroundings.

The weather is fine today, and you can see the snow and floating clouds on Zhongnan Mountain in the distance.But the performance of the grandparents and grandsons made Yang Qinfang very interesting, and gave her a feeling of "diametrically opposite".

Yang Guang who came up first looked at Zhongnan Mountain in the south, while Yang Tong looked at Daxing City in the north like a chessboard.

Zhongnan Mountain is a place of seclusion, which is in line with Yang Guang's current way of life, while Yang Tong is actively participating in the world.Therefore, this first glance well reflects the different ways of life between the grandparents and grandchildren.

Now they are sitting opposite each other under the arched doorway, in the middle is a carved rosewood coffee table with complicated patterns, simple and heavy, and there are tea sets, some fruits and pastries on the table.

Yang Qinfang, who was the little girl, rolled up her sleeves, exposing the forearm of bully Saixue. She brewed a pot of fragrant tea with slender bare hands and placed it on the tea table.Then take two white porcelain teacups, and pour half a cup of green tea soup for the two of them, which is full of hot air and fragrant.

Then she obediently sat aside, holding her chin with her small hand, and glanced at Yang Tong's face from time to time with her big black eyes.

Yang Tong is undoubtedly a handsome man who is very attractive to girls, especially after he has the temperament of a mature man, that kind of charm cannot be resisted by a girl with a spring heart.And Yang Qinfang is exactly the age of the young girl Huaichun, and it happens to be the time when her wish is fulfilled. The more she looks at it, the more her heart throbs.

Yang Tong couldn't hold back anymore, it wasn't that he was not good at nourishing Qi, but Yang Qinfang's nympho eyes made His Majesty Emperor Shengwu a little unbearable.

But Yang Guang is different.Because generally speaking, if a person reaches a certain age, and is fat and energetic, most of them will become old children, and the old emperor of the Yang family is no exception.Yang Qinfang's nympho and Yang Tong's embarrassment made him feel more and more interesting the more he watched.

"Lujiang, you go out first. I will discuss important matters with the imperial grandfather in detail." This girl came out in such a 'large crowd', it was too embarrassing for Yang Tong, so he had to rush away, out of sight and out of mind.

"Oh..." Yang Qinfang stood up reluctantly, pouted her mouth, made a grimace at Yang Yu who was "sitting upright", sticking out her tongue, and then smiled at "Father Emperor": "You accompany Father!" The emperor said, later, I will ask someone to make some cakes and send them to you. Let me tell you, the lotus seed cake made by a pastry chef from Ziwei Palace is a must..."

Emperor Shengwu couldn't stand Yang Guang's teasing gaze again, and waved his hand at the culprit: "Stop talking so much, let's make your pastry!"

"Oh!" Yang Qinfang just left.

Yang Guang also understood that the confused seniority was the biggest problem for the two little guys, and he didn't make fun of this kind of thing. He drank a sip of tea and said, "The problem of the puppet Tang Dynasty is not a big problem now. With the current situation, I am big. It is not difficult to destroy the Sui Dynasty."

Yang Tong didn't quite understand what he meant, so he laughed and said, "That's not necessarily the case, no one knows what will happen in the future. It would be bad if Li Shimin was forced to fight back."

"Then what do you want?"

"I want to build an army of millions, go get him."

"Is it necessary?" Looking at Yang Yu, who looked like a gentleman with a smile on his face, Yang Guang felt that he looked like a hooligan, without the slightest aristocratic air.

"Goguryeo is smaller than Yizhou." Yang Tong said with a smile, "I think it should be 200 million."

When Lao Yang heard this, his face turned dark, and he said angrily, "I don't think 200 million is enough, no matter what, I have to mobilize myself."

"That's exactly what I thought, does this count as a hero's opinion?" Yang Tong jokingly said with a smile.

"I'm the same ghost as you." Yang Guang knew that he had laughed at him just now, and now he immediately took revenge. He stopped smiling and said, "Second thing, I want to go to the Western Regions, you can seal me up." Officer, and then give me a caravan as a cover, I think this matter will not embarrass you too much, right?"

Yang Tong understood what he meant, and asked, "Grandfather is worried that the situation in the Western Regions will develop in a direction that is unfavorable to the Sui Dynasty? Or, create a dark force for my Yang family?"

"It's easy to talk to smart people." Yang Guang said: "Since the Han Dynasty, there have been many aristocratic families in the Western Regions that have been passed down. Our Central Plains aristocratic families have inextricable relationships with them, and the Silk Road master In the hands of these alien races, it means that a lot of wealth will be lost to their hands. This is the first; second, compared with these thousand-year-old clans, our background is somewhat insufficient, no wonder they look down on the royal families of various dynasties. Once the royal family becomes the royal family, they will stand on the cusp of the storm. They can't hide their every move from those who care about it. If there is a slight disturbance, they will become the targets of people's calculations. If it comes to the end of the dynasty, the first to be unlucky is the royal family. The so-called three caves of cunning rabbits, I I hope to use the rest of my life to create a few more 'caves' for my Yang family that people don't know about."

"You want to turn our family into a thousand-year-old family?"

"Any big family has a light and a dark, and you must have realized it now." Speaking of this, Yang Guang said: "Now is the key to the transition from the old to the new. I want to be the first to make a son for my Yang family."

"Just for this, are you going to the Western Regions? The Central Plains is fine too." Yang Tong quite agrees with Yang Guang's idea. When the old forces die, there will be new nobles. This is something that cannot be avoided in any dynasty, and He also didn't think that the Great Sui would be passed on forever, since that's the case, he couldn't let his descendants become extinct in the last years of the dynasty, right?In this way, the existence of a dark line is indeed necessary.

"In the Central Plains?" Yang Guang sneered, "Didn't it be destroyed by you? Even if it wasn't destroyed, it would still float on the water. How is this different from the royal families on the surface?"

Yang Guang thought that Yang Tong objected, and said: "In the final analysis, the aristocratic family is the representative of the interests of the local groups. In addition to the aristocratic family itself, it also includes the interests of many shop assistants. , It’s just a few ways of making money, but for the countless people, it means losing their way of life. So, no matter how you restrain them, sooner or later someone will stand up to represent the interests of the people in a certain place and field. That’s it? Why not support yourself as a representative of one party's interests now? And why were dynasties overthrown? Isn't it because they can't represent the interests of the people?"

"That's true." Yang Tong agreed with these words.

"Going further, Longyou and Liaodong are places where barbarism is easy to breed. If this kind of place is not completely controlled by the imperial court, it will be a serious problem for the Sui Dynasty sooner or later. Therefore, my Sui Dynasty regards Huaxia as the core Orthodox, regard the four barbarians as subordinate..." At this point, Yang Guang suddenly turned his head and looked out, his eyes seemed to see far away.

Yang Tong followed his gaze to look out, but saw the green mountains and green waters, like a landscape painting.

"Humans don't harm tigers, but tigers hurt people's hearts. We Han people used to be very tolerant and treated everyone equally. But in reality? Barbarians rarely regard us as brothers. You have never experienced it, so you can't understand it. But I am better than many Man knows so many things that have been forgotten or overlooked."

Yang Guang looked at Yang Tong and said with a solemn expression: "'In the first year of Yongxing, Hu Gou Xianbei plundered the Central Plains, robbed countless wealth, robbed hundreds of thousands of Han women, raped them at night, cooked food at dawn, and threw thousands of women into the river , Yishui cut off the flow. The violence of the dogs, the Han people were used as 'sheep', and they were killed for food. In the fourth year of Yongjia, the Han people were hunted, and the princes shot more than [-] dead. Soon, the barbarians and the Huns set fire on all sides, Roasting Chinese for food, more than [-] people died. In the first year of Taixing, Emperor Min was humiliated and collapsed at the hands of the Huns. All these are too numerous to write down! Today's Hu Yi, wolves and ambitions, take pleasure in plundering and slaughtering, and take pride in robbing Han land...' "

Yang Guang paused and asked, "Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Yang Tong shook his head, Yang Guang said: "What I am reciting is the "Killing Hu Order" by Wu Mourning Heavenly King."

"Is this the Order to Kill Hu Hu?" Yang Tong had certainly heard of "Order to Kill Hu Hu", but he didn't know the content.

"Yeah!" Yang Guang nodded, "No one knows what happened at that time better than we and I, the emperors; at that time, there were more than 600 million Hu people who moved into the Central Plains, but there were only [-] million local Han people. Left and right, the Hu people continued to grow in the Central Plains, while the Han people were constantly being killed, driven, and enslaved, becoming fewer and fewer. The "Killing Hu Order" issued by King Wu Mourning called on the Han people to rebel, thus Killed countless Hu people. Although he was defeated and died in the end, he did two major things well. One is that under the inspiration of the "Order to Kill Hu Hu", the northern Han people responded one after another and killed a large number of barbaric Hu people. If they come out, the Hu people will kill all the Han people in the north, and then they will kill them in the south. There were only three million Han people in the south at that time, and they must be killed too. If that happens, the Han people will be wiped out. "

"The second is the feat of Wu Mourning Heavenly King, which let those cruel Hu people know that the Han people are not sheep to be bullied. Although they defeated Ran Min, they finally had a heart of awe, so they named Ran Min as Wu Mourning Heavenly King to appease the Han people. From then on, they never dared to massacre Han people as unscrupulously as before. They didn’t even dare to let Han people serve as soldiers, and they didn’t dare to allow Han people to have weapons. It was in this situation that the Hu people killed each other in various small countries, and the Han people who were at ease in farming But because of this, they recuperated, multiplied and prospered. When a large number of Hu people died in constant wars, the strength and population of the Han people recovered to a level that cannot be ignored. In order to win over the Han people, they had to marry the princess into a wealthy Han family, and the Han people With this, he slowly gained power until Emperor Father established the Great Sui Dynasty."

Yang Guang said with a sneer: "It's ridiculous to say that even today, some self-righteous idiots are scolding Ran Min for being a butcher. If it wasn't for Wu Mourning Heavenly King, their ancestors would have been enslaved to death long ago." Well, how can he still exist?"

Speaking of this, Yang Guang said with emotion: "Now that our country is strong in the Sui Dynasty, and the Western Regions are in a strategic location for our Great Sui's westward advance, if we don't take the opportunity to control the Western Regions and consolidate the northwest frontier defense, don't we have to wait for the Hulu to come back again?" Taking advantage of it? That being the case, why not seize it as the bridgehead for our Sui Dynasty to go west, and if the Hulu are powerful, they can also regard it as the strategic depth of the Northwest. What I want to do is to use commercial The power to lay the foundation of people's hearts for seizing the Western Regions, this will not only benefit the country, but also benefit the people, and at the same time benefit the Yang family. What do you think?"

"I think it's okay. The Li family of Longxi has a complete and rigorous business system in the Western Regions. Many people don't even know who they are cooperating with. If the emperor's grandfather is willing to do it, I can give you all the information." To be honest, Yang Tong When faced with Li's account book, there was a plan to let the royal family take over, but it would be impossible to find a suitable candidate for a while, and it would be great if Lao Yang was willing to do it.

Yang Guang said with a smile: "This is what it looks like to do big things, leave this matter to me, and I will definitely help you get things done properly."

At this time, the baby's cries suddenly sounded, followed by the sounds of Li Xiuning and Yang Qinfang coaxing the baby.

Yang Guang asked Yang Tong to come here for a meeting three days ago. He didn't know that Yang Tong asked Empress Xiao and the others to come here in a chariot, let alone that Yang Tong brought a child, but he knew that Furong Tower asked Yang Tong to pack Hearing the cry of the child, he was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Where did the child come from?"

"The third child of our family." Yang Tong said with a smile, "Your great-grandson."

"Ah?" Yang Guang was stunned for a while, and then he stood up, happily said: "When the old man arrived in Ziwei City, he didn't even dare to recognize his great-grandson and great-granddaughter in order to deceive others. This time Now that one has come, hurry up and let the old man take a look!"

Yang Guang didn't see anyone before, and he wanted to go to Yizhou to deal with Li Yuan, so Yang Tong kept it a secret even from his own people. Among his women, only Wei Fengwu knew that Yang Guang was still alive and had met him.It's not the same now, it's okay for Li Xiuning to get to know herself.

So he yelled into the room, and Li Xiuning carried the child out, followed by Yang Qinfang, Yin Mingyue, and Lan Xueer.

Li Xiuning, Yin Mingyue, and Lan Xueer, who were holding the child, looked at Yang Guang in horror. The three of them didn't know that they were here to meet their elders. At this time, they saw the old man who looked like a fairy, and they were somewhat similar to Yang Tong. , no need to guess, they also know that they are Yang Tong's elders. However, they all know Yang Tong's branch, and it seems that there are no male elders.

"Hurry up, give the old man a hug." Seeing the chubby child, Yang Guang ordered impatiently.

Although Li Xiuning didn't know who this person was, she still handed over the child as she said.

As soon as Yang Guang took the child, the swaddling clothes that wrapped the child fell apart, and Li Xiuning blushed. Although she is the mother of two children, most of the children are taken care of by the wet nurse. She doesn't have much to worry about, so she is not very good at taking care of her Child, she glanced at Yang Tong shyly, and said awkwardly, "I'm not very good at keeping children."

As soon as the swaddling baby was scattered, the child Yang Chong was exposed naked. Seeing this white, tender and fat boy, Yang Guang narrowed his eyes for joy, and praised him full of praise: "Good boy, good boy, this is a good boy!" The little guy is chubby and has strong hands, so he will definitely be a general in the future."

He put his hands under the little guy's armpits, and raised Yang Chong loftily: "This child is full of heaven, with eyes full of spirit, and his fortune is boundless."

Yang Guang was meeting the little guy, but the little guy pursed his mouth and waved his hands and feet. The little snail under his crotch gradually turned into a fat jade silkworm.Li Xiuning let out an "ah", covered her mouth in horror, and her eyes widened.

When Li Xiuning's almond eyes were wide open, a jet of crystal water spewed out powerfully. Yang Guangzheng commented cheerfully. He just said "Ah", and his cheerful mouth answered it.

"..."

Yang Tong, Yang Qinfang, Li Xiuning, Yin Mingyue, and Lan Xueer were dumbfounded.

I'm really sorry. I went home the day before yesterday and arrived at my hometown last night. I'm too tired.
