Enlightenment in the heavens and the world

Chapter 107 Great Sui World
From the struggle for hegemony of the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty to the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin Dynasty, it took only more than 100 years for the Jin Dynasty to truly rule the world.After that, the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Southern Dynasties, and the Northern Dynasties, on the land of the Central Plains, began a chaotic world that lasted for nearly 300 years.

During this period of time, various forces in the Central Plains were fighting for hegemony, and the emperors took turns, or even did it together. The Central Plains had never been unified, and it was always in troubled times.

Times make heroes, and Yang Jian's birth turned out to subdue many forces and establish the Great Sui Dynasty.

But this is only superficially unified. In fact, it is just the balance of the forces of all parties. The four major clans are powerful, and the Guanzhong and Longxi gentry have far-reaching influence. As the emperor who unified the world, Yang Jian's actual power is far less than imagined In the territory of various forces, whether Yang Jian's policy can be implemented depends on whether the various forces cooperate.

As an emperor, Yang Jian will definitely not allow this situation to continue. Moreover, as the first emperor to rule the world in hundreds of years, he is undoubtedly very capable. , also eliminated many forces one after another, and the national power of the Sui Dynasty was also much stronger, and it gradually represented the orthodoxy in the hearts of the people of the world.

However, there are still some forces that have been passed down for a long time and are deeply rooted. For the time being, Tai Sui can't easily move them. Yang Jian dare not move lightly because they can affect the whole body.He didn't dare, his son Yang Guang dared.

With the help of some people, after Yang Guang came to the throne, he moved his capital to Luoyang and settled in the Central Plains. County, change the weights and measures, change the official system, and change the law.

Originally, all this was carried out in an orderly manner, but unfortunately for some unknown reason, Yang Guang was out of order, and his steps were too big, which attracted resistance from the upper and lower classes.

In Yangzhou in the south, as Yang Guang dug the Grand Canal, which runs through the north and the south, Yangzhou's geographical advantages are also highlighted. Outside Yangzhou City, on the banks of the canal, as far as the eye can see, there are thousands of sails fluttering, hundreds of boats vying for the flow, and huge merchant ships are constantly flowing. .

At this time, these giant merchant ships were giving way to the five giant ships.

Yu Wenhuaji stood on the commanding platform of the battleship, looking out to both sides of the canal.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and under the light of the wicks of the five giant ships, the stars and the moon in the sky were eclipsed, which seemed to show the rise of his Yuwen clan.

Yu Wenhua is about thirty years old, tall and thin, with long hands and feet, an ancient face, a cold expression, a pair of eyes that are deep and unpredictable, giving people the impression of being cold and ruthless, but there is also a domineering domineering. .

These five warships were built under the personal supervision of Yang Su, the founding minister of the Sui Dynasty. They were named the Five-tooth Warship. The deck has five floors and is twelve feet high. Each ship can accommodate eight hundred soldiers.

The five-masted sails were fully stretched, and the fleet drove towards Jiangdu downstream of the canal at a speed like galloping horses.

Yu Wenhua and the merchant ships that gave way, looked at the roof of the palace rising from the forest beside the bank. It was one of the more than 40 palaces built along the river by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty just a few years ago.

Zhang Shihe, his confidant who stood behind him, said respectfully: "We can arrive in Jiangdu before dawn. If the general manager can get the "Longevity Formula" and present it to the emperor this time, it will be considered a great achievement."

Yu Wenhua and an unfathomable smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "The Holy One is obsessed with the immortality technique of Taoist alchemy. The sages of Taoism, who are not doomed to escape. If this book is not woven with black gold thread, water and fire will not invade, we just need to find someone to fake a copy, and we can hide it."

Zhang Shihe said with a smile: "It's strange to say that the Holy Majesty knew that this book might be in Shilong's hands 20 years ago, but he didn't do it all the time, until today he was sure that it was in Shilong's hands, and asked the general manager to get the formula of longevity. I also laughed at Shilong who hoped to get the book and not die, but he died because of the book, which is extremely ironic."

Yu Wenhuaji was taken aback when he heard this, and suddenly he remembered a person, a person who had been by Yang Guang's side for many years, but this person had disappeared for five years, and Yu Wenhuaji didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Yu Wenhuaji: "Where can I find out about that person?"

Zhang Shihe was taken aback, and quickly realized who Yu Wenhuaji was talking about, so he quickly shook his head.

Yu Wenhuaji: "Continue to check!"

"Yes!"

In an abandoned manor overgrown with weeds in the east of Yangzhou City, most of the buildings have collapsed due to years of disrepair, wind and rain erosion, and ants and moths. The top is sealed with wooden boards, which can barely be used as a shelter.

In the darkness of the room, there was a groan, followed by the sound of body turning and rubbing.

A voice with a childish voice sounded, calling out in a low voice: "Xiaoling! Xiaoling! Is it still hurting?"

After another groan, another boy's voice responded: "Brother Yan Boss, punching is deadly, alas!

Next time, if there is genuine goods, don't go to the dead grass place to exchange money, it's mean and lower the price, and you have to tell Boss Yan, that thief, that if you want to hide half of it, you will have to suffer from beatings and kicks. "

They were talking about two punks living in this dilapidated house. Their parents and family members were killed by thieves during the war, and they became orphans without father or mother.

The two boys happened to meet each other, and they were congenial, and they depended on each other for life, more than brothers.

The older Kou Zhong is 17 years old, and the younger one is Xu Ziling, who just turned 16. These two are the future Yangzhou Ssangyong.

In the dark, the two continued to talk about each other, just like a group of people in later generations discussing "national affairs" while chatting.

What they didn't know was that in the courtyard of the abandoned manor, there was a cellar under a pile of rubble, and the dust in the cellar was an inch deep, but the strange thing was that there was no one in this shady and deserted cellar. Only insects, snakes, rats and ants.

In the depths of the cellar, there is another "earth mound", but if you look closely, you will find that this mound looks like a person sitting cross-legged.

Suddenly the man wanted to move, and then the dust on his body faded away like running water, revealing his true face.

I saw this person with white hair and a childlike face, his skin didn't look like an old man's at all, and there was a bright red flame mark between his eyebrows.But at this moment, the person seemed to be dead, not breathing, as if he hadn't moved just now.

After another half an hour, the man's abdomen began to rise and fall. At the same time, the imprint between his eyebrows suddenly faded away, and soon disappeared. Then his skin began to shrink, and soon became like "old tree bark" .

Soon, his muscles also began to shrink, and soon became skinny, and at this time, there was a "snap" from the palms of his palms...
