A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 614 Abolition of the Mandate of Heaven
Wang Xuanze encouraged Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji, and then said:
"Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty only ruled the world for nine years. Millions of people in the world died because of him. The people of the world were enslaved by him. He did not care about the people's strength and did not know the sufferings of the people. With such atrocities, the people of the world will definitely oppose him."

"Such a tyrant and a single husband, even Xia Jie and Zhou La are not as good as him, how can his world last long?"

"I, the Wang family, were born this time to change their destiny."

"Just like the Shang Tang Revolution, overthrow his rule. Let the tyrant Yang Guang know that even if he is the lord of the world and the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he will still die and destroy his country to thank the world."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Wang Xuanze's words. The Wang family originated from the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Counting from the Huai Kingdom, it has been 1,400 years ago. If we count from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it is almost two thousand years.

Such a family has ruled the world for more than a thousand years. To them, it is completely a legendary family, and such a family now plans to abolish the Sui Dynasty's destiny.

They didn't have any doubt about what Wang said, they just felt inexplicably shocked.

A family wants to destroy a dynasty. This kind of thing has been done by the Wang family thousands of years ago. This was how the Huai Kingdom ended Bangzhou's destiny, and now it has ended the Sui Dynasty's destiny.

Zhai Rang, who was still a little uneasy about the future, suddenly became emboldened, and immediately saluted Wang Xuanze respectfully: "Rang, this commoner, is willing to fight against the Sui Dynasty for the sake of the world, and to kill the independent man!"

"The general can act expediently, but although the Sui Dynasty is in chaos now, it still has some power left, so the general needs to be careful."

You must know that the imperial examinations in this period were not anonymous.

The Wang family was extremely disgusted with the Sui Emperor. Yang Guang was completely devoid of human dignity, and his atrocities were unique in thousands of years of history.

As for his so-called great achievements, such as opening the canal and establishing the imperial examination, they were just tinkering on the basis of his predecessors.

No emperor would open a canal and conquer Liaodong, causing millions of deaths in just a few years. Even if the First Emperor in real history built Chi Road, built the Great Wall, and opened the Ling Canal, the casualties he caused were far less than that of Yang Guang.

In the last years of other dynasties, the people suffered heavy casualties either due to natural or man-made disasters or due to competition among heroes. However, during his reign, Yang Guang personally reduced the number of people in the world by more than 30%.

Wang Xuanze and others did not stay in Wagang Village for long and left quickly.

Yang Guang built the canal, recruited four million people, and repaired and connected the canals of previous dynasties. Although these projects were large, if they were built according to normal planning and took ten or twenty years, not many people would die.

However, for the so-called great cause, it required that the excavation be completed in just a few years, resulting in millions of casualties.

The imperial examination system was originally founded by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian. However, the imperial examination system in this era had great limitations. Even from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system had very large limitations.

"Eldest brother is very optimistic about Zhai Rang?" Wang Xuanjing asked after leaving Wagang Village.

"It's quite promising!" Wang Xuanze nodded and said: "Zhai Rang has a broad mind, is tolerant of others, understands the sufferings of the people, has benevolence and righteousness, is able to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, and has courage. If his family background is not too low, there is no With the help of any aristocratic family, I'm afraid the probability of him competing for the world will increase by another 20%."

"Is it so high? Then why doesn't the eldest brother support his bid for the title?" Wang Xuanjing asked. "Although Wagang Village is steep, it is located in the Central Plains. The Central Plains is the place where the Four Wars are fought. If it gets the support of a powerful family and has enough talents and troops, it can attack the four directions in the Central Plains. There will indeed be a unified Possibilities in the world.”

"But the Central Plains is the land of the Fourth War. There will be almost no wealthy families to support him. Being here, the living space is limited. In the end, he will definitely have to make wedding clothes for others."

"It is almost impossible to dominate the world, but I also told him that if he is smart and continues to wait and see after capturing Luokou Cang, and find a real son of destiny who can compete for the world to join him, his wealth can also be guaranteed. .”

"I'm afraid that at that time, people will be weak and Zhai Rang won't give up the fight for the title!" Wang Xuanjing thought for a moment, shook his head and said.

"That's not something we can change!" Wang Xuanze said lightly. Now that he has met Zhai Rang, he has seen that the whole world is against him. Zhai Rang is just one of them.

"But the two generals under Zhai Rang are good and talented generals. If they are trained well, he still has a chance."

"Then let's wait and see. If he can really go one step further, I will try to persuade him when the time comes."

Central Plains, Shandong, Hebei, and Guanzhong, these four places are the basic base of the Sui Dynasty. As long as these four places are not in chaos, the Sui Dynasty can continue to mobilize money, food, and soldiers. But now Shandong and Hebei have been in war, and the Central Plains has also begun to Messy.

In the Sui Dynasty, only Guanzhong was left, not to mention Jiangzhou and Shuzhong.

However, although Jiangzhou and Shuzhong are also prosperous, they can only live in a corner at most. Moreover, if the Central Plains is blocked, money and food from Jiangzhou and Shuzhong cannot be transported out at all, and the Sui Dynasty will still perish.

"Brother, where should we go next?" Wang Xuanjing asked.

"Let's go to Guanzhong and have a look!" Wang Xuanze said. This time they went south from Youzhou to Shandong and Hebei. Shandong and Hebei were already devastated. Yang Guang's exorbitant expropriation had caused a large number of people to flee. The war potential of these two places had been Reduced to the lowest level.

Now the Central Plains will also be in chaos. If Guanzhong also becomes chaotic, I am afraid that the Great Sui Dynasty will come to an end.

"Guanzhong is the base of the Guanlong nobles. Although Yang Guang exacted excessive taxes, he should still be merciful to Guanzhong." Wang Xuanjing said.

"Although Yang Guang is tyrannical, he is not stupid. None of the Guanlong nobles or a few of them are opponents of the Sui Dynasty court, but if all the Guanlong nobles are opposed, he would not dare to force himself, so Guanzhong should not be as chaotic as Guandong. "

Wang Xuanze and others rode the carriage towards Guanzhong. At this time, more than three hundred years had passed between Guanzhong and Daqian. Three hundred years were enough to cause many changes in the landforms.

For example, the Chencang Road back then had become rugged and difficult to navigate due to an earthquake. The Han River had changed its course, making it more difficult to enter Sichuan.

And Hangu Pass has also undergone great changes. The Hangu Pass where the Qin and Huai Dynasties fought has been abandoned. The water level of the Yellow River has been lowered and changed its course, making Hangu Pass no longer dangerous. After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Hangu Pass was Gu Pass was abandoned and a new pass was built.

The motorcade headed all the way to Guanzhong, and soon Guanzhong was in sight.
