At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 417
Gao Bufan knew that Yang Guang was good at rhetoric and could compose poems, but he didn't know that Yang Guang could also paint, and he seemed to be able to paint well. He painted "Sunrise of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" with majestic momentum. Well, at least in the Gao Bufan, a layman, seems to be like this.

Finally, Yang Guang finished painting and put down his pen, and Gao Bufan had stood in front of the imperial case for half an hour, and watched Yang Guang draw for half an hour. Although the waiting time was a bit longer, it was not boring, because It’s really interesting to watch Yang Guang’s paintings. This is not flattery, but Yang Guang is indeed quite talented. It can be seen that he has put in a lot of hard work in painting, which is better than those so-called masters who used syringes to nourish ink in later generations. How many times.

The two eunuchs carefully carried away Yang Guang's "Sunrise Picture of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and Yang Guang cleaned his hands and wiped them with silk, then he turned his eyes to Gao Bufan and asked lightly: "After I ascended the throne, what is the truth?" Immediately move the capital to Luoyang, will Gao Lang know why?"

Gao Bufan originally thought that Yang Guangzhao came here to ask about Angata, or at least to ask himself how his painting was done to create a transitional atmosphere, but unexpectedly, Yang Guang directly asked about moving the capital. Contrary to his expectations, he couldn't guess Yang Guang's real intention for a while, so he replied conservatively: "Luoyang is located in the heart of the Central Plains, with convenient water and land transportation, so it can take care of the whole country."

Yang Guang shook his head and said: "It's too general, and it doesn't hit the point. It seems that General Gao Lang only has the cleverness of playing tricks, but he doesn't have the great wisdom to govern the country."

Gao Bufan sweated secretly, he was actually despised, but it seems to be a good thing to be despised by Yang Guang. The headstrong boss Yang doesn't like to have smart people who are difficult to control, so Gao Bufan followed the good advice and said with shame: "I am stupid, I beg you The emperor gave instructions."

Yang Guang said indifferently: "At the beginning of my ascension to the throne, I did not hesitate to use 2 million military and civilian battalions to build the Eastern Capital. It was completed within a year, and in the following years, the North-South Canal was opened one after another. The world thinks that I am here for pleasure, regardless of the suffering of the people in the world, but they don't know Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the land of the Central Plains has experienced hundreds of years of division and chaos. Although the Sui Dynasty unified the country, hundreds of years of division caused civil divisions that were difficult to heal, especially between the north and the south. Undercurrents surged.

If the hearts of the people are not in harmony, how can we talk about unity?

The reason why I moved the capital to Luoyang and opened the canal was to bridge the differences between the north and the south, and promote economic and cultural exchanges throughout the Sui Dynasty, so as to achieve a true unification.People in the world don't understand me, and think that I moved the capital just for pleasure, and the canal was built for the convenience of travel and entertainment, it's ridiculous! "

Gao Bufan was slightly taken aback. From this point of view, Yang Guangda’s construction and relocation of the capital to Luoyang, and the excavation of the North-South Grand Canal at the expense of people’s resources, did have comprehensive economic and political considerations, not just for pleasure. It can be seen that although Yang Guang is very happy, he is by no means a fool Hunjun, it's just that the steps are too big and too hasty, it's messed up!

Of course, Yang Guang’s cruelty is true, and so is his luxury, as can be seen just by looking at his extremely luxurious water palace dragon boat, so it is not wrong to be smeared by the history books compiled by the Tang Dynasty!

"Your majesty is far-sighted and far-sighted, and ordinary people can understand it. As the saying goes, rumors only stop at wise people. If you understand, you will naturally understand. If you don't understand, it will be useless to explain more. Therefore, go your own way and let others talk about it." Gao Bufan sent out a sweet fart without hesitation.

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became brighter, he took a deep look at Gao Bufan, and said calmly: "Although Gao Langjiang's words are straightforward, they are very interesting and have some truth."

"Your Majesty, I'm just a rough man." Gao Bufan said without changing his expression.

Yang Guang couldn't help laughing and said: "It's the first time I've seen a rough person who can write "Ask the Wine to the Moon", anyway, I will treat you as a rough person, and I won't reward you for saving you, but Have complaints?"

Gao Bufan hurriedly said: "I dare not!"

Yang Guang's eyes were fixed: "If you don't dare, then you have it?"

Gao Bufan said bluntly: "The emperor pardoned Gao Shilian, but he didn't punish the minister for instigating His Royal Highness the King of Yue. The minister should take it as a crime. An Gan still has complaints."

Yang Guang nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, and said: "Well, Gao Changqing, you are sensible, go, go back to Zhuojun and prepare well, your skills will be useful, as long as the loyal ministers who work for me, I will never treat you badly." , it is not a problem to be named as a Marquis or to pay homage to the Prime Minister."

There was a strange flash in Gao Bufan's heart. Dare to feel that Boss Yang summoned himself this time not for Angata, but to win over himself, and the way he did it was quite clever. First, he talked with himself to "unify thinking", and then drew big cakes to encourage himself to work hard work.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I must work hard, do my best, and die!" Gao Bufan immediately bowed down and said excitedly, but he played a trick, and did not clearly say for whom he worked hard, for whom he devoted himself, and for whom he died. After all, he was doing private work You can also be conscientious, and you can also devote yourself to your own career.

Satisfied, Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "Retire, and I will give you the picture of sunrise over thousands of miles of mountains and rivers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Bufan expressed his joy, and quickly thanked him. This time, he was really happy, because the painting was really good, and it was Yang Guang's handwriting, which is very meaningful. If it is handed down to future generations, it will definitely be better than Tang Bohu's. Authentic works are valuable.

Yang Guang was really satisfied when he saw this, and he would feel nauseous after hearing too much flattery, and the recognition from the heart of his courtiers naturally made him even more happy. In fact, when Gao Bufan stood there for most of the time, he watched his painting seriously At that time, Yang Guang secretly noticed, and found that this kid was not impatient at all, and he didn't pretend to be serious, but really appreciated his paintings.

From that moment on, Yang Guangjue suddenly realized that Gao Changqing who often "pretends to be smart" is not so annoying.

Let’s say that Gao Bufan took the dried "Sunrise Picture of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" from the eunuch, and then left the palace. Yang Qingruo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he came out safe and sound, and his eyes fell on the scroll in the former's hand. Said: "Why did you go in for so long? What is this thing?"

Gao Bufan said: "When I went in, the emperor happened to be making a picture of the sunrise of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and later he gave it to me." After finishing speaking, he raised the scroll in his hand.

A flash of surprise flashed in Yang Qingruo's beautiful eyes, she took the scroll from Gao Bufan's hand, opened it, looked at it carefully, and said happily: "It is indeed the emperor's handwriting, um, the emperor's painting skills are becoming more and more refined and sophisticated, and the momentum is overwhelming." Majestic, the scenery is full."

"If you like Qingruo, you can take it." Gao Bufan said generously.

Yang Qingruo rolled up the drawing paper and returned it to Gao Bufan, shook his head and said: "How can you give something that the emperor bestows to others indiscriminately, you should keep it yourself."

"But Qingruo is not someone else." Gao Bufan laughed.

Yang Qingruo's face was slightly hot, but when she rolled her eyes, she took the painting from Gao Bufan's hand and said, "Then I will keep it for you."

Gao Bufan sweated secretly, this little vinegar jar was probably worried that he would present this painting in front of Wugou as a treasure, so he confiscated it.

"What did the emperor tell you? Why did you give this painting to you?" Yang Qingruo asked curiously.

Gao Bufan briefly told the story, and Yang Qingruo beamed with joy when he heard Bufan said: "It seems that the emperor has changed a lot towards you, a scoundrel, and is going to use you again."

If Yang Qing was a staunch royalist, she would be very happy that Gao Bufan could be reused by Yang Guang.

Gao Bufan smiled wryly and said: "Qing Ruo, you call me Gao Lang Jiang when you are around, and can you stop calling me a villain when there is no one? He is a good man, okay?"

Yang Qing laughed out loud, "You're just a bad guy, it's okay to be called a bad guy." As he said that, he gouged out someone's eyes, and continued: "Then what should I call you?"

Gao Bufan raised his eyebrows and said: "Brother Fan, Fan Lang, Fan Fan, anyone in charge will do!"

If Yang Qing touched Xiafei's cheeks, she wanted to use the two-finger Zen. Fortunately, a group of eunuchs passed by at this time, and someone escaped.

"I'll call you Biao Zi in the future." Yang Qingruo has a tender face, but she can't call Fan Fan, Fan Lang, or the head of the family. As for Brother Fan, she is three years older than Gao Bufan.

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "Alright, don't be a villain anymore!"

Yang Qingruo couldn't help laughing, if she wasn't wearing a veil, she would be so beautiful that people would be dizzy.

"Changqing, the emperor didn't ask you about Angato?" Yang Qingruo asked again suspiciously.

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "I didn't ask!"

Yang Qingruo couldn't help frowning, Angata was suddenly killed in the Star Observation Tower, the emperor should be furious, why did he seem not to care?Weird!

Yang Qingruo withdrew her thoughts, Meimou looked at Gao Bumou, and asked with some reluctance: "When are you going back to Zhuojun?"

"We have to wait a few more days!"

Yang Qingruo said with a little sourness: "Yes, and your eldest grandson needs to be arranged."

"Qing Ruo, why don't you stop being the general manager and come back to Zhuo County with me." Someone Gao found that the vinegar jar was about to be overturned, so he immediately took the initiative to switch from defense to offense, holding Yang Qingruo's jade wrist.

Yang Qingruo shook off someone's paw, and said angrily, "What do you mean going back to Zhuo County with you? Who are you when you are someone else?"

"My own!" Gao Bufan pretended to be stupid.

Yang Qingruo gave Gao Bufan a blank look and said, "It's impossible until the master of Jinghua Shuiyue is caught."

However, Gao Bufan heard the implication and hurriedly asked: "What about after that?"

Yang Qingruo was both angry and funny: "After that, you should go back to Zhuojun and prepare well. The emperor might send troops again next year. In addition, according to reliable information, the Turkic people saw that the Sui Dynasty was unstable, and they were already ready to move. Xi Although the people and the Khitans are superficially subordinate to the Sui Dynasty, they are closer to the Turks. If the Turks make trouble, the Xi people and the Khitans may fall to the Turks. You must be careful to guard against the Xi people and the Khitans in Zhuo County."

Gao Bufan nodded, and said solemnly: "Thank you, Qingruo, for reminding me."
