Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Queen Xiao was waiting for the emperor in the palace. As soon as a bowl of tea was served, there was news that Princess Lanling was trying to break into the palace. Empress Xiao put down the tea cup and said to Xiao Jingyan:"Everyone knows Ah Wu's temper. It must be because of the consort Liu Shu. Please tell her to come see her immediately." The little eunuch hurriedly went to tell Princess Lanling.

When she was young, Princess Lanling was crying and wiping her tears with her sleeves as she walked quickly. As soon as he saw Empress Xiao, Yang Awu threw himself to the ground, grabbed the lapel of the queen's clothes, and cried:"Awu begged the empress to intercede and let the consort go.""

"Princess, please get up quickly and speak."Xiao Jun hurriedly helped, and Xiao Jingyan also helped to lift Princess Lanling and let her sit down to talk.

Empress Xiao took a handkerchief, helped Yang Awu wipe away her tears, and comforted:"What happened to the consort, please speak slowly. Come."

Yang Awu said:"The emperor has just sent a decree to interrogate the remaining members of Yang Yong, the prince-in-law Liu Shu, the generals Quan Wu and Li Shentong, and punish them for treason, and exile them to Lingnan."

"When did the emperor say that?"

"Just after the imperial edict was issued, the imperial army raided the Prince Consort's Mansion yesterday. Empress Xiao said regretfully:"Your Majesty has spoken so eloquently now. Since the imperial edict has been issued, I'm afraid it cannot be changed."

Yang Awu said:"If the emperor does not pardon Liu Shu, Awu would rather follow Liu Shu and be exiled to Lingnan." Xiao

Jun knew very well that Princess Lanling and her consort Liu Shu were deeply in love with each other and found it difficult to leave, so he had no choice but to comfort him:"The Ai family will help you to persuade them. No matter what the will is, Ah Wu, don't be impatient."

Maid Xiao Jingyan also advised:"Your Highness, please be patient and don't be impatient. Your Majesty will definitely have a way.""After some kind words of comfort, Princess Lanling relieved her anxiety and returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion.

Empress Xiao was thinking about her sister-in-law, so she had no choice but to go directly to the imperial study without telling her about Princess Lanling. Yang Guang was looking at the map in the imperial study when he saw When the queen arrived, Yang Guang asked:"Why is the queen here? Sit down and talk."

Queen Xiao said:"Today Ah Wu came to my concubine's palace to express her nostalgia for my concubine. She was very sad. I also know that Your Majesty exiled Liu Shu and said that he cannot be pardoned. It is better to let the princess accompany Liu Shu and realize the love between husband and wife."

Let's not mention Liu Shu. When talking about Liu Shu, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty frowned and said with helplessness on his face:"On the day he returned to the capital, Ah Wu came to me and begged me to pardon Liu Shu. I don’t understand, there are so many good men in the world, and they must be together with Liu Shu!"

"Ah Wu is an infatuated woman and is His Majesty's biological sister, so let's be more liberal."Queen Xiao said

"Don't even think about it! Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty suddenly became angry:"Who is Liu Shu? Looking back at that time, Ah Wu should have married Xiao Jue, and let Liu Shu, a beast, fight for her love. I lost all my face.""

"Your Majesty, please calm down."Xiao Jun stood up and walked to Emperor Sui Yang and advised him:"We are all members of the same mother, so why should we be too serious? Ah Wu is young, and even if the emperor does not allow it, I, my sister-in-law, have to accommodate this sister-in-law.."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty saw Xiao Jun begging for mercy in every possible way, and then he said:"The queen can go and tell Princess Lanling that all men in the world and all the talented people in the dynasty can marry, but Liu Shu can't."

"this……"Xiao Jun was a little embarrassed. Emperor Sui Yang had already left with a flick of his sleeves, and added:"Even if Liu Shu dies of old age, we will never see him again!" After that, he ignored him and left the imperial study.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty hated and complained about Liu Shu, and had no room for mercy. He came to Chongwen Pavilion alone. Chongwen Pavilion stored many books that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty read on a daily basis. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty flipped through a few history books and felt a little emotional in his heart, so he asked the eunuch to pass them on to his uncles Xiao Cong, Zhuge Ying and Pan Hui.

After a short wait, Xiao Cong, Zhuge Ying, and Pan Hui quickly came to Chongwen Pavilion and paid homage to the emperor. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sat in the middle, and three ministers sat on either side.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"I browsed history books and remembered that Master Zhiyi once told me about the pre-Qin scholars, my uncle told me about"Historical Records", Zhuge Ying told me about local chronicles, and Pan Hui told me about biographies of various countries.. I have read a lot of books and realized how big the world is. Now that the foundation of the country has been established, I want to open up the four directions and trade with all countries. I want you to tell me how big it is outside the Sui Dynasty?"

The three of them looked at each other, Ju Duke Xiao Cong was the uncle of the current dynasty and had the highest official position. Naturally, he spoke first:"Beyond the Sui Dynasty, there are countless countries in the Western Regions, Southeast Asian countries, and East China Sea countries." When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty heard about the countries in the Western Regions, he felt very Fresh, he asked again:"Since the founding of the late emperor until now, why have I rarely seen the countries in the Western Regions paying tribute and claiming vassal status?" Xiao Cong said:"Tuyuhun occupied the Western Sea and invaded the Hexi Corridor. The trade in the Western Regions was dangerous, but the Yiwu Kingdom rose outside the customs and blocked the Silk Road. Road, even if the countries in the Western Regions claimed vassalage and paid tribute, they could not reach the capital."

"Um……"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was convinced, nodded and asked:"Pan Aiqing, you are most familiar with the countries in the East China Sea. I heard that the Japanese country is the largest on the East China Sea and has trade. Why did the Japanese country never surrender to me, the Sui Dynasty?"

Pan Hui said:" If the Japanese state refuses to surrender, it depends on whether Yizhou Island can surrender? The Yizhou Islands were originally the territory of Soochow, but now the islanders have established themselves as kings and are called Liuqiu. Their own islands have not surrendered, so how can the Japanese state surrender?"

"That makes sense. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty asked again:"Then why have the Nanyang countries never seen anyone pay tribute?" Zhuge Ying replied:"

The South China Sea is thousands of miles away. If we enter the Sui Dynasty, Linyi State is the only way to go. And the land in South Vietnam occupied by Linyi State is our Jiaozhi County in the Sui Dynasty." Therefore, the countries in Nanyang only know that there is Linyi, but they do not know that there is Sui Dynasty.

After hearing this, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty turned earth-colored and was silent for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he said:"When I was thirteen years old, I was appointed as the general manager of Bingzhou. I guarded the Turks in the north, and was stationed in Hebei Province to wipe out the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty. A few years later, I took command of the southern expedition. The Pingchen Kingdom unified the world, crossed the Five Ridges and surrendered the six counties in Lingnan, and secured the territory of Jiuzhou for the Sui Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the nine states of China are incomplete. How can the four seas be unified? Seeing that

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had a bad look on his face, Xiao Cong said:"Your Majesty's great cause of unification has long been famous. Jiaozhi County, Yizhou Island, and the Hexi Corridor are just small places. There is no need to worry about them for a long time.""

"Of course I am concerned, that is the territory of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty looked at the three ministers and said:"In accordance with my decree, I ordered the Duke of Yue, Yang Su, and the Duke of Ju, Xiao Cong, to lead six officials to draft a strategy for dispatching troops.""

"What does the emperor mean?

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"I want to conquer the Linyi Kingdom and regain Jiaozhi; flatten Liuqiu and surrender to the Japanese lords; destroy the Yiwu Kingdom and open up the Western Regions, the East China Sea, and Nanyang.""

Xiao Cong, Zhuge Ying, and Pan Hui saw Emperor Sui Yang's astonishing tone, and no one dared to answer, so they had to accept the order silently. It can be said that the new emperor's words fill the world, and he is determined to be the most popular in all directions.

Never before in ancient times. Yes, I am the most respected one in the world.

One day later, Queen Xiao rushed to the Prince Consort's Mansion in person. Princess Lanling was anxious at the house. When she learned that the Queen had arrived, she felt that the Emperor would be extraordinarily merciful, so she hurried to greet Queen Xiao..

Empress Xiao came to the living room and sat on the imperial chair. Yang Awu ordered his family to bring tea and snacks, and asked urgently:"What did the emperor say? Please speak frankly.""

Xiao Jun glanced at the princess, not daring to look directly, and said silently:"The Ai family has advised the emperor, thinking of the relationship between brother and sister, the emperor has favored Gongzhun to select men from all over the world and the elites of the entire dynasty, and will never stop her. Only Liu Shu can't. Hearing this

, Princess Lanling was furious and shocked. She stood up and asked:"If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog; if you marry a flower, follow the dog." Ah Wu will only marry Liu Shu and will not remarry again. Seeing the princess's strong temper, Queen

Xiao stood up and comforted her:"The emperor's heart is as solid as a rock. Princess, please don't be angry." Yang

Awu grabbed Xiao Jun's sleeve, frowned, and asked,"What does the emperor want to allow me to meet Liu Shu again?" Xiao

Jun sighed helplessly:"The emperor said that even if Liu Shu dies of old age, he will never be seen again!""

This sentence made Princess Lanling furious, blood filled her pupils, she felt her body go limp, and she leaned against the Eight Immortals table, indifferently. Empress Xiao stood up quickly, with guilt in her eyes, and comforted the princess on her shoulders:"Princess, you are so considerate. , your imperial brother will eventually wake up, and there is no way of knowing that he will be reunited again."

Yang Awu's eyes were dull and he ignored him. Xiao Jun tried to comfort him a few times, but he was helpless and had to leave heartbroken.

Yang Awu knew that he would never see Liu Shu again, so he went back to the bedroom alone, closed the window and door, and left. A piece of silk is hung on the beam, and I sit on a round stool, just wishing for death.

"A brother is like a father, and he keeps his promise, but my husband-in-law and I will never be reunited again.……"Yang A's eyes were the color of earth, and he was extremely desperate. He climbed onto the round stool and hanged himself. It’s true:

Since ancient times, loyal ministers have followed the same master, and a virtuous woman has never had a husband.

The loneliness of Liu Si's love in Lingnan pushes despair away.

In the evening, when a bright moon appeared on the branches, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty returned to Ning'an Hall, and Queen Xiao Jun hurriedly greeted him. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty asked:"I heard that the queen went to see Princess Lanling today. How is the princess?"

Empress Xiao blinked and said:"I'll tell you frankly, your Majesty's brother and sister are so stubborn. There is no compromise"

"Yang Awu was also spoiled by the late emperor. He could not distinguish between right and wrong and could onlyAsking for trouble"

"Your Majesty's dignity cannot be offended, but the relationship between brother and sister cannot be ignored.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"I am the emperor, how can I compromise with a female prostitute?""

Before he finished speaking, a young eunuch hurried to Ning'an Hall and reported that Princess Lanling had committed suicide by hanging from a beam. After hearing the bad news, Queen Xiao was shocked, but Emperor Sui Yang still maintained his supreme appearance and showed no mercy. He angrily rebuked:"Yang Awu is threatening me with death, he is clearly threatening me."

Queen Xiao advised:"The person has passed away, why bother venting his anger on the soul of the deceased?"

"snort! Emperor Yang said:"Not only do I not allow her to see Liu Shu again, I also don't allow her to be buried with her even after her death!""

Looking at the violent side of Emperor Sui Yang, Queen Xiao Jun sat alone in disappointment. Emperor Sui Yang usually looked down on Xiao Jun's face the most, so he turned around and comforted:"Why should the Queen care about an unreasonable princess? ?"

"My concubine heard: The beauty of a gentleman’s adulthood. Your Majesty's intentions are too harsh. If this continues, it will only be detrimental to the country."

This is what Empress Xiao said to Emperor Sui Yang. Emperor Sui Yang stretched out his hand to rub Xiao Jun's face and said with a smile:"If I want to be a sage king comparable to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, I must rule the world. In a few days, I will send troops to all barbarians until all nations come to court, so that the achievements of the Daye Year will shine brightly in history!

Xiao Jun was surprised when he heard that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would use troops just after he came to the throne. It was like a wave of unrest. Empress Xiao asked:"Where does Your Majesty want to use troops?""This is it:

It is difficult to engage in politics with a hard heart, and the way of a great dynasty is like cooking fresh food.

What is the use of re-governing and fierce disputes? Year after year, you are heroic.
