Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 154: Great Revitalization of the World
News of our army's victory quickly spread back to Chang'an City.

"The border troops reported good news. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led his army to recapture Lintao City. The King of Hejian led his army to intercept the Turkic army and killed more than [-] Turkic cavalry in total. The Turks fled back to the grassland."

Yang Jian couldn't help laughing excitedly after hearing the news. He stood up and faced the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and announced: "This is a good victory. The Sui Dynasty was never afraid of war. Tomorrow will be the time to move to Daxing City. Today's news is very exciting." I feel inspired, and I will give you a good reward when the King of Hejian and the Crown Prince return to the court."

"Your Majesty is blessed."

"Hongfu of the Great Sui Dynasty."

……

……

In Daxing City, Yang Guang rode his horse across the wide Suzaku Avenue. He was currently rehearsing the celebration of tomorrow's emperor and empress moving to Daxing City. Civil and military officials from all dynasties would be present, so there was no room for any mistakes, including the display of the latest fireworks. No room for error.

Yang Guang was followed by Yang Lihua. Today, Yang Lihua was riding a white horse heroically across the long street with Yang Guang.

"Eldest sister, your yard has been built. Tomorrow you will move to Daxing City with your father, queen and mother."

Yang Lihua smiled slightly and replied: "There are two yards in one square, which is very spacious. You and I live in the same square. Why don't you take Meng Lan with you to take a look first?"

"Everything must be done according to the rules."

"You are too cautious."

"There's no harm in being cautious."

Yang Lihua nodded. It was indeed not easy for Yang Guang to build the imperial city in such a short period of time. And as Yang Guang himself said, except for the expenses of the common people and the imperial city, Yang Guang spent almost no money from the Sui treasury. After selling the house, Daxing City still has a lot of surplus in its account.

Expenditures on the imperial city cannot be saved. After all, this is where the emperor lives.

"If you did a good job this time, I believe that your father's reward will be indispensable for you."

"What reward do you want?"

"Don't give me anything you want. You have to take it. The prince won the battle at the border this time. There will definitely be a reward when he comes back. Why can't you take it?"

Yang Guang said seriously: "I want whatever my father, the emperor, and my mother give me. If I ask, I might get less."

"You're still really slippery, hurry up and get ready. There can't be any mistakes in tomorrow's event."

……

……

When the crimson rooster announces the dawn, golden crows rise in the east and the clouds are red.

咚

咚

As the sun rises in the east, the sound of drums sounds in the empty and majestic Daxing City. The sound of the drums is dull and distant. The sound is like the popularity of Daxing City. The mist dissipates layer by layer and light is scattered in the imperial city.

The brilliance reflects the majestic sky, shining brightly on all things, and the dragon, colt, and phoenix chariot enter the imperial city.

Daxing City, which is supposed to be spacious and uninhabited, as the sun rises, you can see people standing on both sides of Zhuque Street. Daxing City, which usually does not let people in, is crowded with people who come from Chang'an City to watch the excitement. , the ministers lined up on both sides of Zhuque Street.

Within the imperial city, the streets and alleys are well prepared and majestic; in the markets, the singing and laughter can be heard far away, and the simple people, supporting the old and the young, are all looking forward to paying homage to the Holy Master, full of awe.

On Zhuque Street, behind the dragon, colt, and phoenix chariot are a bunch of monks and Taoists. No matter what they believe in, they are following behind today to pray for blessings and blessings from all spirits, as evidence of the auspiciousness of heaven and earth.

Behind them came the majestic and finely decorated cavalry, holding high the Sui army flag and waving it fiercely in the wind.

As the sound of horse hooves passed by, the sound of firecrackers sounded on both sides of the road.

Firecrackers exploded like thunder in the air, eliciting bursts of cheers.

As the procession marched slowly, the emperor's whispers in his ears were like the music of multiple strings, fleeting. The two saints sat among them, looking with satisfaction at the people who lined up to welcome them.

Queen Dugu was exceptionally graceful and dignified. She smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, this Suzaku Avenue is so wide that you can't even see the portraits clearly."

Yang Jian was in a good mood and smiled boldly: "Amo said before that we would use cement to pave the road. I was worried at first. I never thought it would be so smooth and comfortable."

"Your Majesty will give Amo a good reward this time. For Daxing City to be built like this, Amo should be the first contributor."

"That's natural."

Amidst the explosions, the Imperial City was already in front of us. At this time, the bells on the Imperial City rang, music sounded, and the emperor stood up happily. The bell tower and drum pavilion in the distance transformed into a symphony of thousands of notes, and the magnificent golden scenery was reflected. , the imperial city seemed to be full of joy and laughter, like entering the fairyland of Yaochi. The emperor squinted his eyes slightly, witnessing the carnival and celebration, and was full of joy.

The imperial city gate opened, and the emperor and queen entered the palace.The plan for the imperial city was approved by Yang Jian himself. Its scale was about twice the size of the current Chang'an City. From the main entrance to the main hall where government affairs were discussed, you still had to walk a long way. Yang Jian happily got off the carriage and did not sit in a sedan chair. , walking on foot.

When he walked through the long steps and arrived in front of the main hall, he looked down at the ministers below. The ministers felt moved and knelt down to salute the mountain and shout long live the mountain.

Yang Jian whispered to himself: "This is my Sui Dynasty, this is my country, this is my world."

The majestic ambition is in the chest, and when it is spoken softly, it is like thunder.

Then Yang Jian's voice was like a bell, and he said to the ministers below: "I will move to Daxing City today. From now on, all court meetings will be held in Daxing Palace. As you all know, the word Daxing means that I want the world to prosper. From today on, The world will be prosperous."

All the ministers shouted: "The world is prosperous!"

"For example, Emperor Yao ordered Shun to supervise the administration of the emperor in order to observe the destiny of heaven. I sensed the destiny of heaven, accepted the abdication of the emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and ascended the throne. In the name of the emperor, I administer the affairs of heaven on behalf of the emperor. I will take care of all nations and declare to the world that today I will grant amnesty to all evildoers. All of them will be forgiven."

"Your Majesty, your grace."

The heaven-sacrifice ceremony began in front of the hall. After the ceremony, the ministers entered the Daxing Hall for their first court meeting.

Yang Jian was sitting on the dragon throne in a very happy mood. No one would report any bad news in today's morning court.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Daxing City is extremely majestic. His Highness the King of Jin has worked day and night to supervise the construction of Daxing City. I have the courage to ask for a reward from His Highness the King of Jin."

"Of course I want to reward you, but Prince Jin, your reward will have to wait a moment."

"My son, thank you father and emperor."

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Hejian have done a great job in expelling the Turkic army this time. I would like to ask for a reward for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of Hejian."

The courtiers reported all the happy news, and Yang Jian happily agreed.

"Hejian King Yang Hong made meritorious service in fighting against the Turks. He intercepted and killed more than [-] Turkic cavalry. He promoted the prestige of our country and was granted the title of General Manager of Ningzhou in Shangzhu State."

"Prince Yang Yong made great achievements in fighting against the Turks. He recaptured Lintao City, expelled the Turks, and was granted the title of Imperial Doctor, taking charge of the territory of the former Northern Qi Dynasty."

Regarding Yang Yong's reward, he is in charge of the land of Northern Qi. This reward is too good. The emperor must not have made an impromptu decision in the main hall, but had already prepared this reward.

The land in charge of Northern Qi, Hebei, Shandong, and Jiangsu combined together is almost the territory of Northern Qi at that time. To be honest, they are all rich and fertile lands, and in terms of area, it is equivalent to handing over half of the Sui Dynasty to him. to manage.

The reward for this big victory is really too great.

Yang Guang inevitably frowned slightly. The emperor's reward was too generous for Yang Yong, but he also thought that this might be the emperor's final test for Yang Yong.

The incident where Yun Luo threw her son had already made the queen completely disappointed with the prince. However, as an emperor, it was impossible to depose the prince because of the internal affairs. This time the prince showed his bravery in fighting on the battlefield. Yang Jian now asked him to take charge of Northern Qi. Land, maybe an extra reward, to see if he is capable.

But Yang Guang felt that it was too risky no matter how he thought about it. Taking charge of the land of Northern Qi also meant that Yang Yong had the capital to rebel.

No matter how he thought about it, Yang Guang always felt that this reward was too generous. There were many civil and military officials in the entire dynasty who had the same idea. But if you look at me and I look at you, no one dares to stand up and object. After all, the prince has just made a contribution. And no one would be stupid enough to displease the Emperor on a day like today.

Yang Jian continued: "I plan to announce a big event today."

"For many years we have been harmed by the Turks from the north, and the people in the north have been living in dire straits. Although we have won some wars now, only the Turks have always attacked us. Most of the wars happened on our land, and the victims can only be our innocent people. I feel deeply saddened, and it is not an option to continue like this."

The emperor's prelude words made the ministers feel deeply unhappy.

Sure enough, Yang Jian announced loudly: "I declare that from today on, the Sui Dynasty's attitude towards the Turks has changed. We are no longer a passive defensive party, but from today on, we, the Sui Dynasty, will counterattack the Turks and fight on the grasslands. In order to let the Turks have a taste of being attacked and slaughtered, from today onwards, the Sui Dynasty will turn to a full-scale offensive against the Turks, and our army's frontline positions will be allowed to attack in an all-out manner."

Yang Jian's words immediately caused the officials to explode, which meant that the Sui Dynasty had now entered a state of all-out war with the Turks.

Hundreds of years ago, during the Han Dynasty, the Chinese people fought the Turks and called them father and mother. However, after the Sima family established the Jin Dynasty, they basically never took advantage of the northern front. They mainly made peace with each other. Now, Yang Jian's attitude changed.

The ministers who originally did not want to collide with the emperor today could not help themselves at this time: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. The grassland where the Turks are located is vast, and our army may not be able to penetrate deeply into a large-scale battle. Even if it penetrates deeply, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy." The result may not be as serious as the consumption, which is a waste of national power, so please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Great Sui Dynasty has just won the battle, and the situation is excellent. However, there is Nan Chen in the south. If our army goes into full-scale war with the Turks, Nan Chen Xiaoer will definitely attack by surprise."

"This matter does not need to be discussed. My announcement of this matter is not for discussion, but just to inform you. This is my national policy."

As soon as the word "national policy" came out, the ministers immediately fell silent. This represented the emperor's bottom line.

Yang Jian looked at Yang Guangda again and said loudly: "Prince Jin."

"My son is here."

"From today on, I will confer you the title of Great Sima of the Sui Dynasty. You will be in charge of the planning and strategy of the Sui Dynasty and assist in the deployment of the army. You only need to report to me."

The court, which had been quiet for a while, was boiling again.
