Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Although Yu Wenshu's words could reach Emperor Sui Yang's heart, when he talked about the large-scale construction projects, Emperor Sui Yang couldn't help but think of the instructions in the last letter of King Yang Hong of Hejian.

In order to help his son Yu Wenhua and gain political capital, Yu Wenshu further advised:"The King of Hejian is old and confused. Now that the four countries have joined him, the country is rich and powerful. Your Majesty spares no effort to travel around and build a few more palaces. What can he do?"

Yu Wenshu was cunning and arrogant, and made vain remarks, which made Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty hesitate and ask:"In view of your love, can I build a palace?""

"Why not."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty nodded, thinking that Yuwen's father and son had made great contributions in supporting him to the throne, so he said:"In that case, I will pardon Yu Wenji, make him perform meritorious service, and build the Zhuojun Palace."After hearing this, Yuwenshu kowtowed and thanked him.

Yuwenshu resigned and left. When he walked out of the palace, he was overjoyed and swaggering. Queen Xiao happened to see it. Queen Xiao saw Yuwenshu's unscrupulous look and guessed that he must have been in the emperor's ears again. There was slander.

Empress Xiao came to the palace and asked Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty to find out the whole story. Empress Xiao said:"I just saw Yu Wenshu walking very proudly. I must have won favor in front of the emperor again.""

"I just let Yu Wenhuaji take over the expansion of Linshuo Palace to make up for the mistakes. It's not about seeking favors or not."

"Your Majesty, although Yu Wenshu has a strategy, he flatters the Emperor and is hypocritical. Your Majesty, you should be careful when using this person."

"Queen, don't worry, I am sure of myself."

Xiao Jun said:"The King of Hejian repeatedly warned before his death that no more large-scale construction projects should be carried out, so why did he give permission to expand the Zhuojun Palace?

Yang Guang said:"If the queen remembers my twelve wishes, now she only has to conquer Goryeo and pacify Liaodong, so she must build a palace in Zhuojun." I have long heard that during the Western Han Dynasty, there was Lelang County in Liaodong. I want to regain Lelang County."

"this......"

Looking at Queen Xiao's hesitant eyes, Emperor Sui Yang asked:"Does the Queen not believe in my twelve wishes?""

"How can I dare to doubt the emperor's twelve wishes? I hope day and night that your majesty will achieve great things as soon as possible. When he succeeds, he will cultivate life and nourish the people, and never give up fighting. Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty laughed and said:"Queen, don't worry, on the day when Liaodong is pacified, I will grant amnesty to the whole world and exempt from taxation for ten years. I will be an eternal sage who surpasses the Qin Emperor and defeats the Han Dynasty!""...

After staying in Fenyang Palace for several days, Yujia returned to the capital. Along the way, as the team moved forward, Xu Guogong Yu Wenshu was riding alone on a horse, feeling very sorry for Zhang Heng's participation in the performance of his son.

Although Yuwenshu and Zhang Heng were both ministers of the Guanzhong faction, Zhang Heng was an upright man and did not engage in evil, so he and Yuwenshu were not in the same group at all. Yuwenshu was thinking about it when he saw a school captain galloping towards him. Yuwenshu asked,"What's the urgent call?"

The school captain said,"I'm playing an urgent call from thousands of miles east of the Yangtze River. Chen Leng, Zhu Kuan and others have returned from Yizhou Island. Go to court."

Yuwenshu took the report and said,"I'm going to report it." Yuwenshu urged his horse to walk a few steps quickly and caught up with Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. He suddenly had a plan in mind and said to Yang Guang:" Your Majesty, Zhu Kuan and Chen Leng have led their troops back to the court."

"The Ministry of War was ordered to reward him based on his merits."

Yu Wen said:"I heard that Yizhou was victorious and the people in the southeastern states and counties lined the streets and cheered. Your Majesty should tour Jiangdong to cheer up the people."

Yu Wenshu knew that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty not only liked to build palaces, but also traveled around, so he made up such a famous story out of nothing.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"I have not been to Jiangdong for several years, so it is appropriate to go on a tour again."

"Why don't your majesty expand the Jiangdu palace and prepare for a second trip south." Yuwen Shu guessed Yang Guang's thoughts with every word. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty recalled that when Pingchen ruled the world and his seat was in Jiangdu, Yuwen Shu's words evoked infinite thoughts.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"The palace in Jiangdu is old and needs to be expanded and repaired. It's not a bad idea, but no one can preside over the expansion of the palace at present?"

"The veteran recommended Zhang Heng, the governor of Yulin." Yuwenshu thought to himself, the more Zhang Heng opposed large-scale construction projects, the more he forced Zhang Heng to expand the palace, wasting people and money.

How did Emperor Sui Yang know Yuwenshu's thoughts, and asked:"Ai Qing is really willing to recommend Zhang Heng?"

"Zhang Heng is the most suitable official to be honest and upright."

"This time, Zhang Heng participated in the impeachment of Yu Wenhua and secretly dealt with Turks. Is Aiqing really willing to ignore past suspicions and recommend Zhang Heng?"

"I and Zhang Heng are His Majesty’s right and left ministers, and they should work together to achieve prosperity. How can we engage in intrigues and internal strife?"

"Ai Qing is indeed loyal and loyal. He does not avoid relatives when doing things internally and does not avoid enemies when doing things externally. He is a true gentleman."Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty thought that Yu Wenshu had good intentions, so he listened to Yu Wenshu's plan, approved the decree, and sent Zhang Heng to Jiangdu to expand his palace. It can be said that the treacherous ministers' treacherous tricks were used repeatedly, and Yang Guang's head was covered with beard.

Success was a waste of people and money. , the chaos in the country originated from the dispute between ministers.

The emperor's chariot returned to the capital from Fenyang Palace, and all the officials went out to welcome the emperor and the queen back to the capital. All the officials in the court paid homage one after another. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Xiao got off the chariot. Standing at the front among the officials were Wei Wensheng and Su Wei.

Emperor Sui Yang asked:"Have the victorious soldiers returned from the great victory in the Eastern Expedition?"

Wei Wensheng said:"Yesterday we arrived in Daxing and killed the Tuwang. It was first reported to the capital. only……"

"Just what?"

Wei Wensheng felt unspeakable for a moment. Su Wei, the veteran minister next to him, took over the words, bowed and said:"I would like to report to your Majesty that Haijun He Man died of illness in Yizhou."

"Oh..., pass on my will and reward the meritorious officials who have recovered the Yizhou Islands. After a while, I will go to Jiangdong in person to offer sacrifices to the East China Sea and commemorate the soldiers who died in the war."

"Obey the decree."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty walked to the palace and discussed with several important ministers who were following him. Emperor Yang said to Yu Shiji:"I am traveling to the northwest and sending troops to the southeast. I will fight on two fronts. I will win every battle. Who will win? Can you defeat the few?

Yu Shiji flattered him and said,"Your Majesty's achievements have surpassed those of Qin Shihuang and far surpassed Emperor Wu of Han. They are unparalleled in ancient and modern times.""

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was very happy after hearing this flattery, and then said:"I want to compile a"Diyu Tu Zhi" to be the largest and most complete local chronicle in the past and present. Shiji, I think you should edit it, what do you think?"

Yu Shiji was about to please the emperor, so he hurriedly said:"Wei Chen is willing to write pictures and records, and he will do whatever he wants."

"I want you to complete the"District Yu Tu Zhi" within one year. I want to invite all the nations to come to court next year and let them know that the Sui Dynasty has a huge territory and many people, which have never been seen in ancient times. With the people of the area, I will humiliate the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty."

"The emperor is wise, and all the ministers must do their best to compile it."

Back in the palace, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was in a good mood, and asked Queen Xiao to place snacks and drinks in Changchun Garden. He summoned Su Wei, Xue Daoheng, Yu Shiji and other ministers who were good at poetry and prose to gather in Changchun Garden to enjoy the moon. Poetry.

The couple walked into the garden. Su Wei, Xue Daoheng, Yu Shiji and others were already waiting in Changchun Garden. After paying homage to the two saints, Yang Guang asked:"My dear friends, it's a good time to come. The moon is full tonight, and I want to admire it. Compose poetry."

Yu Shiji said:"I have a copy, and I am about to present it to Your Majesty."

"Today is a moonlit night. I should have fun and not talk about state affairs."

"Your Majesty, this is good news. I have just received the report. Your Majesty has achieved great victory in the East China Sea and the Western Region. The news of the victory has been spread for thousands of miles. When Lin Yi learned about it, he submitted an apology letter. Yi Xiejiu has proclaimed himself a vassal and is willing to send envoys to pay homage. Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Xiao were overjoyed when they heard this. Empress Xiao stood up and said a blessing to Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty:"I congratulate your majesty on your great achievements." Not only did he annihilate Liuqiu, he also intimidated the Japanese slaves and Nanman, making all parties submit to him. Everyone was overjoyed.

Yang Guang, Xiao Jun and several ministers took their seats. Queen Xiao said:"Master Yu Shiji is very knowledgeable and talented. Why not write poems first so that your majesty and my concubines can have a look at his talents?""

"I wonder what the empress took as the title? Empress

Xiao looked at Changchun Garden and said to everyone:"Under the long corridor, there are barn swallows pecking at the mud and building nests to live in. How about writing a poem with the theme of playing with swallows?""

Everyone praised the wonderful thing. Yu Shiji went to the corridor to take a look, bowed and said:"Wei Chen then wrote a poem titled"Playing with Swallows"》"The people in the palace nearby prepared their pens and ink, and Yu Shiji took up his pen to compose a poem:

The building was first constructed and aligned with the clouds, and Gui Yan put his hands in the mud. I want to go around the singing beam to the dance pavilion, and sometimes I go to the orchid boudoir on my fairy shoes.

It will be difficult to fly thousands of miles together, so we can chat with each other in Wu Palace.

After Yu Shiji finished writing six sentences, he looked embarrassed and deliberately put on a wry smile. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty asked:"Why is Yu Aiqing so embarrassed?

" What a beautiful sentence, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

Yang Guang laughed, stood up, and silently read the six lines of poetry written by Yu Shiji. He picked up the brush, pondered for a while, and then wrote the last two lines: When the flowers are full and the moon is full, we gather in a nest. Drooling like ripples.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Yu Shiji was not poor in writing, but deliberately pretended to be clumsy and foolish, just to let the emperor and empress laugh at him for fun.

Seeing Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty add the last two sentences, Yu Shiji stretched out his thumb and praised him repeatedly:"Your Majesty is extremely talented, knowledgeable, and full of knowledge. He can be ranked among the ancient and modern. He is truly a genius from ancient times. The finishing touch makes him proud." The admiration I have for you is beyond words!" Everyone around him also echoed.

Su Wei looked over and saw that Yu Shiji was so proud of flattering him, so he just followed suit. Only Xue Daoheng didn't know the strangeness, and said to Emperor Yang and Empress Xiao:"Wei ministers are also willing to write poems on the occasion with the theme of Yan Yan."

Xue Daoheng came to the table and wrote a poem"Xi Xi Salt" without thinking. say:

"The weeping willows cover the golden embankment, and the weeping leaves are in full bloom. The water overflows the hibiscus marsh, and the flowers fly over the peaches and plums. The daughter of the Qin family who picked mulberry trees, and the wife of the Dou family who weaved brocades.

Farewell to the prodigal son in Guanshan, watch the wind and moon in the empty boudoir. A thousand-gold smile is always collected, and a pair of jade pendants cry. The coiled dragon disappears in the mirror, and the colorful phoenix moves low on the curtain.

The flying soul is the same as the night magpie, and I remember the morning chicken when I go to bed. Spider webs hang from the dark roof, and mud falls from the empty beams. I went to Daibei the year before last and this year I went to Liaoxi.

Once there is no news, it will be a pity for the horse's hoof."

Xue Daoheng got together in one breath and put down his pen, full of pride. Several palace officials raised the poem. Everyone looked at it and praised it. Queen Xiao praised:"What a 'empty beam falling on the swallow', Mr. Xue is worthy of his talent and learning. Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty just sneered and said:"Xue Aiqing's masterpieces are recited by everyone in the world, and even I am sincerely convinced.""

"Your Majesty's reward is too great, and it's embarrassing for the humble minister."Having said this, Xue Daoheng was complacent.

It was already getting late, and the monarchs and ministers dispersed. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Queen Xiao returned to the palace. Xiao Jun muttered silently:"The empty beams and swallows falling on the mud are really quatrains for the ages. Who can match them?"

"snort! Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said disdainfully:"Xue Daoheng, an old man with great self-control and talent, how dare he show off his poetry in front of me? Who in today's literary world can compare with me?""Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was jealous of Xue Daoheng's talent. He was unhappy and couldn't bear it.

A few days later, when hundreds of officials went to court, Yang Guang asked Yu Shiji:"I ordered you to preside over the compilation of"Qu Yu Tu Zhi". I wonder how it is progressing now?"

"I am reporting back to Your Majesty that I have already drafted an outline, which needs to be compiled into 1,200 volumes. I have forgotten my meal in writing and am waiting for the book to be written. Next year, before Your Majesty meets with the envoys from all countries, I will be able to complete the book."Yu Shiji said.

After hearing this, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was deeply satisfied and asked Xue Daoheng:"Xue Aiqing presided over the compilation of the new law of"Daye Law". What is the progress now?"

Xue Daoheng said:"Your Majesty, the new law is controversial and has been delayed for a long time. If Gao Qiao is still alive and assesses the situation, the new law will not be delayed."

As soon as these words came out, many courtiers were shocked. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty unjustly killed Gao Juong and He Ruobi, which was a big taboo. Unexpectedly, Xue Daoheng refused to open any pot. He only heard Yang Guang slapping the shore and saying angrily:" Do you remember Gao Jiong? Xue

Daoheng was confused and explained:"In the past, Gao Jiao compiled laws and made wise decisions. How can we compare?""

I saw Pei Yun scolding from the side:"Bold Xue Daoheng! In the court hall, someone said something rebellious, asking your Majesty to punish him for his rebellion.

Emperor Sui Yang was already impatient and said angrily:"Guards on the left and right, capture Xue Daoheng.""

It just so happens that Xue Daoheng is old and confused. He doesn't know the depth and wants to explain the reason. There are already warriors in front of the palace, holding weapons and weapons.Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty flicked his sleeves and angrily withdrew from the court. It was difficult to predict Xue Daoheng's life and death. It can be said that if you don't talk a lot, you will be accused and cause trouble.

I don’t know how hypocritical people are, and a silly poem is useless.
