Chapter 520 Nine Old Maniacs

In February of the 14th year of the Great Sui Dynasty, the weather has been getting warmer day by day, and girls who are eager to show off their enchanting figures have changed into spring clothes. Obviously, there is nothing to buy at home, and a few female companions have made an appointment. Walking around the street, because they wear slightly thin clothes that outline a beautiful figure, they always attract the attention of passers-by. Therefore, even though they are still trembling slightly from the cold spring, they are as proud as fighters in their hearts. pride.

Youth is their capital of pride. They are like the fresh green spit out from the branches of weeping willows on the street. When the bleak winter has just passed, people can't get enough of them.

The naughty children broke the willow branches and removed the branches to leave a good layer of bark. This is a simple but sweet little willow flute. After chasing after the girls' buttocks, the children whined and blew. I don't know if they are praising the slender waist and buttocks that sway and confuse people's eyes, or they are venting their playful nature that has been suppressed all winter.

Although the Jianghuai thief Du Fuwei's 10,000+ army has approached Jiangdu, none of the people in Jiangdu City seem to be worried that they will be in danger.The reason why they don't need to worry is extremely simple, because the emperor is in Jiangdu.No matter how incompetent the emperor is, no matter how useless he is, he is the emperor of the Sui Dynasty after all. If he can't even keep the place where he lives, is the emperor still an emperor?This is the last pride of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and also the last pride of the people in Jiangdu, the stubborn, undeniable pride.

Where there is an emperor, it is the safest and most stable place in the hearts of the people.

There are even some old scholars who are depressed and unsuccessful in their lives. Whenever they hear too many rumors that the rebels are dozens of miles outside the city, they will go around the palace city. When they look at the tall and strong city wall, they will feel at ease down.Then he thought proudly that the emperor was separated from himself by a wall.No matter how great the Jianghuai thief Du Fuwei is, can he still surpass the emperor?

You must know that the emperor in Miyagi was the first emperor in history who was called Tian Khan by the grassland people. At the age of 20, this ambitious emperor personally led an army of 51 across the Yangtze River, smashing the decaying Southern Chen Dynasty into dust like a plow.In the dry well, the shivering Emperor Nanchen who was hugging the beauty Zhang Lihua was pulled out, and the unification of the world was declared.

At the beginning of his succession to the throne, Wenzhiwugong was unprecedented, and the imperial examination was held, which gave the poor family the hope of becoming an official.Through the canal, the north-south traffic is convenient and smooth.He destroyed Tuyuhun, he split the mighty Turkic people in half, and the vast grassland was divided into two by the footsteps of the Sui cavalry. He conquered Goguryeo three times, trying to build a huge and unprecedented empire.

Compared with him, many people who were emperors before were not worth mentioning at all.

At the beginning of his reign as emperor, the power of the Sui Dynasty was undisputedly number one in the world.

This empire called Great Sui grew from a sapling to a towering tree in just a dozen years. The people under the cover of this big tree lived a prosperous, peaceful and peaceful life.The granaries in various places were so full that they kept overflowing. Luokou granary, Liyang granary, the grain in these granaries was enough to feed the people of the Sui Dynasty for hundreds of years!

In terms of military strength, after the Great Sui Dynasty established itself, the Twelve Guards have never lost a battle. Whether it is facing the Nanchen Navy, which is known as the invincible in the world, or the Turkic wolf cavalry, which is known as the world's sharpest, the government soldiers use their weapons. Straight swords and long spears prove that they are the strongest soldiers in the world.

Everything seems to have changed after the three expeditions to Goguryeo.

Every time the old scholars think of the prosperity of the founding emperor, they will sigh endlessly, and then pat the city wall of green bricks and green tiles, beating their chests and stamping their feet.Behind them, girls with newly puffed chests walked proudly, and children playing willow flutes were playing happily. The atmosphere inside and outside the palace was completely opposite.On one side is the lifeless twilight, on the other side is the thriving spring.

The lifelessness in Miyagi comes from a place, or a person.

The gray-haired Yang Guang lay on the bed and turned over. Wrapped in a brocade quilt, he still couldn't stand the cold. He muttered and asked his attendants to turn up the brazier in the room, complaining How come it's spring, and the north wind can still rush in through the door, making people upset.The attendants looked at each other, looking at the closed doors and windows, they couldn't understand where the cold north wind came from His Majesty said.

The attendant who wanted to open the window to let in the air immediately gave up his idea and fiddled with the brazier silently. The fly ash got into his nose and itched him badly, but he held his nose and tried to suppress it, not daring to sneeze out.The snot and tears couldn't help flowing out, and he looked like a drug addict addicted to cigarettes.

"What day is it today? Why do I faintly hear the sound of firecrackers outside?"

Yang Guang, curled up in the quilt, asked impatiently.

"Your Majesty, today is the second day of February. It is estimated that the naughty children outside Miyagi are burning firecrackers. The folk custom says that the second day of February is the day when the Dragon God raises his head."

"what?"

Yang Guang suddenly sat up from the bed, his face was a little panicked: "Why didn't anyone remind me on such a big day, hurry up, change clothes for me, I'm going to court."

"His Majesty……"

The attendant couldn't help but reminded: "It's already past the morning court hour, and now...it's noon."

"I'm getting more and more sleepy."

Yang Guang rubbed his swollen eyes, thought for a while and said, "Don't sleep anymore, wait for me to change clothes and wash up, and go to someone to find Pei Ju and Yu Shiji. It seems that the two of them haven't sent memorials to me for a while. Owning the whole world, how can you always lie in bed? Go and find them all, I want to discuss matters. By the way, there is also Lai Huer, he promised me that I will lift the anchor when the Spring Water Master is opened, Today is the second day of February, and if all goes well, I will be able to return to Luoyang, the eastern capital, in early March. I will let little Yang Tong supervise the country. It's better for me to go back and deal with the pressure on one of his children."

"I didn't hear that the Yellow River was flooded in the spring flood this year. It's a good thing. The Yellow River is too fierce. I have been fighting against this big river since I ascended the throne. I have been fighting with it for decades. Is it so honest this year? Is it convincing? By the way, Pei Ju said that last year was a good year, and the whole country had a good harvest. He said that the grain in the Luokou warehouse was already full, so it was time for the fourth Eastern Expedition, so that Goguryeo would not be slaughtered. I’m not reconciled, because Goguryeo is in Liaodong, and the northern part of the Sui Dynasty is not stable! I didn’t send Luo Yi’s tiger and heavy armor to go out in the previous three Eastern Expeditions. Look, what is a Great Sui cavalry! Compared with my heavy armor, even the Turkic wolf cavalry is just a weak and docile kitten!"

He chattered on and on, like a lunatic who was old enough to only talk to himself.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The attendant hurriedly agreed, but his heart was sore, he thought that His Majesty has become so confused, it is appropriate to invite the Queen to come over, as for those ministers... Forget it, those bastards don't look like courtiers, All of them looked disgusting.The attendant thought about these messy things, opened the door and walked out.As soon as he stepped out of the door, he stopped suddenly, and then slowly retreated trembling.

……

……

"You lazy bastard, why did you come back when I asked you to summon all the courtiers?"

Yang Guang looked at the retreating back of the attendants and said angrily: "No one around me is useful, and Yidao is the most suitable for me. I asked Yidao to lead the troops to wipe out the rebels, and that guy just hid outside and refused to come back. , I have already agreed to give him a Dragon Court Guard, what else do I plan to do. Okay, when he comes back, I will let him be a general...but where will he go?"

Yang Guang rubbed the corners of his eyebrows with some headaches, and suddenly said pleasantly: "Mai Tiezhang used to be the umbrella slave of Emperor Nanchen, and I transferred him back to be the general of the inner guard, and asked him to lead the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven for me. The honor is much more generous than that given by Emperor Nanchen, and then I asked Yidao to be the general of Zuo Tunwei, and I will go to conquer Goguryeo with me!"

He smiled excitedly, like a child who has just piled up blocks.

The attendant trembled and looked back at him, with fear and sadness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty misses old General Mai Tiezhang and Wen Jie. This is where I have neglected my duty. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will personally lead the army to escort His Majesty back to the Eastern Capital today. I will recruit Mai Tiezhang to be your umbrella slave and let Wen Jie When I come back, I will lead you a horse. Isn’t it easy to conquer a small Goguryeo with an army of one million marching northward?”

Yang Guang was stunned, then clapped his hands excitedly and said: "Well said, it is not easy to destroy a small country? I led the army to destroy Nanchen, Tuyuhun, and then destroy a small Goguryeo. Who is talking, Come in and let me see how it looks."

The attendant standing at the door was pushed away, staggered back and bumped into a flower stand.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Wenhua, who was wearing a golden armor with a long knife hanging on his waist, stepped in. He looked at the emperor with a proud face, and raised his jaw and asked, "Your Majesty, don't even the minister recognize you?"

"who are you?"

"The minister is Yu Wenhuaji."

"Yu Wenhuaji? I remember, you are Yu Wenshu's eldest son, right? Yu Wenshu, let him come in to see me, I want to ask him how to teach children, how dare you knock over my vase. If you You're not Yu Wenshu's son, I'll have someone drag you out and chop you up right now! Wait a minute...you're wearing golden armor?"

Yang Guangmeng stood up, pointed at Yu Wenhuaji with trembling fingers and asked angrily, "You can't rebel if you want to, only I can wear the golden armor, only I!"

"Does your majesty look familiar?"

Yu Wenhuaji laughed loudly and said, "This is your set of golden armor. Not to mention, it fits me very well. By the way, Your Majesty, let's see what it is?"

Yu Wenhuaji picked up a piece of clothing from the hands of the soldiers behind him, powdered it
