Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Pujinguan was victorious, and the Sui army won the first battle. Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, sent a 600-mile horse to the capital to report the victory. The good news came to Beijing, and the young eunuch forwarded it to Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty, which made the emperor Longyan very happy.

Emperor Sui Yang went to the palace with the good news. These days, Yang Guang felt at ease. Mrs. Xuanhua was taken back to the palace by Queen Xiao Jun and lived in Pingyang Palace. As long as Emperor Sui Yang was away, Xiao Jun would always accompany him.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty saw that the queen was not jealous, but took good care of her, so he took the good news from Pujinguan to please Xiao Jun.

"Queen, the former enemy was victorious, Yang Su regained Pujin Pass"

"Concubine, congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty"

"Cutting down the vassal vassal is the first major event since I ascended the throne. In the future, I will fulfill my twelve wishes and do great things for a long time to come."

"When did the emperor have twelve wishes? I have never heard of it."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"Starting from the reduction of the vassal state, I drafted twelve political affairs to govern the world. I want to be an eternal sage king who surpasses the Qin and Han Dynasties to comfort my life's wishes."

Queen Xiao:"Why don't you tell me your twelve wishes? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"

First, abolish the vassal kings and establish counties and counties; second, abolish the gentry and open schools to recruit scholars; third, the former emperor abolished officials and reuse them as appropriate; fourth, repair the Great Wall to resist Turks;" The fifth is to expand the palace and build the eastern capital; the sixth is to dig a canal to connect the north and the south; the seventh is to conquer Linyi and recover Jiaozhi; the eighth is to open up sea routes and trade in the South Sea; the ninth is to cross the sea and conquer the east. Prefecture; tenth, send troops to the West Sea and pacify Hexi; eleventh, march westward from Yumen to open up the Western Region; twelveth, attack Goryeo and take back Lelang."

Queen Xiao said:"Your Majesty really has such an ambition, which is beyond the reach of the eternal sages."

Yang Guangzhi was so proud that he put his hands behind his back, stared with majestic eyes, and said to himself:"These are my twelve wishes. Since ancient times, who has been a king? Empress

Xiao felt very comforted when she saw that Yang Guang could concentrate on political affairs, and said to Yang Guang:"Changing counties and counties, opening up subjects to recruit scholars, and reusing decommissioned officials are all beneficial to the country and do not require any expenditure. They can be implemented as soon as possible." Yang

Guangma was happy and turned around to leave the palace. Xiao Jun followed and warned:"If you are to defeat the rebels and capture the King of Han, Yang Liang, I hope that your majesty will be punished lightly and not to hurt your flesh and blood again.""Emperor Sui Yang nodded, turned around and left without saying anything else.

When the moon rose above the treetops in the evening, Xiao Jun saw the full moon tonight, and thought of Yang Guang's twelve wishes for a powerful nation, and couldn't help but think about his relationship with Emperor Sui Yang. Drinking to the moon, they talked about their feelings.

But after waiting for a long time, Yang Guang returned to the palace, so he ordered the palace servants to look for him. The female officer Xiao Jingyan said:"There is no need to ask, the queen must have gone to Mrs. Xuanhua again.""

When Queen Xiao heard this, she went to Mrs. Xuanhua's place again, with a bit of disappointment on her face, and said,"In that case, go to bed early."

Xiao Jingyan said:"Your Majesty, please don't spoil Mrs. Xuanhua like this. It will inevitably get worse in the future.

Empress Xiao sighed and said,"Do you know why the Ai family doesn't want to compete for favor?" Because on the north bank of the Yellow River, the emperor's younger brother Yang Liang rebelled. With brothers turning against each other and concubines fighting within, how can the emperor be a good emperor?"

Seeing that Queen Xiao didn't mention a word to Mrs. Xuanhua, Xiao Jingyan did not dare to say more.

At this time, Yang Guang was in Pingyang Palace. Mrs. Xuanhua's condition was good and bad. Yang Guang checked day and night. On this day, Mrs. Xuanhua had already passed away. After taking medicine and falling asleep, Yang Guang was sitting alone in the palace with nothing to do, so he looked at Mrs. Xuanhua's daily decorations. Sitting next to the bed, looking at Mrs. On the wall, there is an inscription, which is the word"Sauvignon Blanc" written by Mrs. Xuanhua herself:

"The red is already thin, the green is already thin, thank you for the spring breeze blowing on the ground, and the remaining flowers are far away.

I am suspicious when I gain favor and when I lose favor, I imagine how long we can be together, and I am afraid of new separation."

When Yang Guang saw this poem, he secretly thought that the better Empress Xiao treated Xuanhua, the more worried Mrs. He wrote on the desk next to him, moistened the pen and ink, and filled in the words according to the rhyme.

The pen and ink fell, and he finished it in one go. After finishing writing, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty called two young eunuchs and ordered them to hang the words and sentences on the wall. When his wife wakes up, let them Read carefully.

When he was giving instructions, he didn't want to wake up Mrs. Xuanhua. Seeing that Mrs. Xuanhua woke up, Yang Guang waved the eunuch away, walked to the bed, lifted up his robe and sat on the bedside.

Mrs. Xuanhua said:"I just took the medicine and fell into a deep sleep." , I didn’t know that Your Majesty was arriving and I missed you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."

"What did Madam say? I know that Madam has relapsed, so I made a special trip to visit her."

"My concubine's disease cannot be cured by medicine, even the imperial doctor is helpless. My only wish is to see my hometown in Jiangdong again, without any extravagant hope.

Yang Guang said:"Only I can understand Madam's illness, so I wrote a prescription myself and hung it on the wall.""

Mrs. Xuanhua was curious, got up from the bed, walked slowly to read this poem, and read it carefully:

"The rain is not sparse and the dew is not sparse. May the spring breeze blow day and night and plant thousands of branches.

There is no doubt about kindness, there is no doubt about love. For twelve hours of joy in one day, who can live or die?"

The two poems complemented each other. As if Mrs. Xuanhua had met a close friend, her eyes were filled with rain and dew, and her love was vividly written on the paper. Seeing that Xuanhua was already moved, Yang Guang comforted him and said:"The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, two stars have love; King Luofu can , tears turned into streams. As your wife, what do you regret? Tomorrow I will pass on the decree to dig a canal and open up the waterway from Luoyang to Jiankang."

"I remember that His Majesty said a few days ago that he wanted to open up the waterway from Luoyang to Zhuojun to transport soldiers and equipment to defend against the Turks."

Yang Guang held Mrs. Xuanhua's hands and comforted him:"First fulfill Mrs. Xuanhua's wish, then I can conquer the Turks with peace of mind."After a heart-to-heart talk, Mrs. Xuanhua's love for Yang Guang was born. Her love was sincere and she no longer had any scruples. It was like a loving couple. It can be said that King You bought the day of laughter in the smoke, and Emperor Yang dug the river to court.

The king loves beauty. How difficult it is, who knows how to harm the common people?

A few days later, hundreds of officials went to court in the morning and paid their respects. Emperor Yang Guangyan of the Sui Dynasty said:"I have passed the decree to abolish the feudal vassal towns and establish the system of counties and counties. The late emperor dismissed the officials according to the circumstances. Reinstatement. How about handling these two things?"

Yang Yue said:"Your Majesty, there are only two vassal kings in the Sui Dynasty. Yang Liang, the king of Han, has rebelled, and Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, is still guarding Yangzhou. It is better to summon him to Beijing. Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"The King of Hejian has outstanding achievements and I trust him the most. Now that the King of Han has rebelled, if he recruits the King of Hejian, it will mean that I don't trust the King of Hejian. I must not disturb the King of Hejian.""

Zhuge Ying said:"I have been ordered to check the officials who were dismissed by the late emperor. There are twenty-nine people including Su Wei, Gao Jun, He Ruobi, Xue Daoheng, Wei Wensheng, etc., and they can be reinstated as appropriate.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"I will grant amnesty to all officials and reinstate them to their posts as a sign of benevolence and generosity. All you dear ministers can do as they please." Next year we will officially change the reign name, and I will personally meet with these officials who will reuse it. After everyone received the decree, Yang Guang looked at Yu Wenkai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and asked him:"Yu Wenkai, have the drawings I ordered Aiqing to draw been completed?""

"The manuscript of the Yongji Canal drawing has been completed. Your Majesty can choose a date to open the river."

"Quickly revise, the Yongji Canal will not be dug for the time being, and the canal from Luoyang to Huainan will be opened first. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty talked about digging the Huainan River, the courtiers were very puzzled. Yu Wenkai asked:"Your Majesty once said that he would dig a canal in the north to transport troops to resist the Turks. Why are you digging a canal south now?" Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty thought that if he traveled to the south of the Yangtze River for Mrs.On Yizhou Island, the islanders established their own country of Liuqiu and established a separate empire overseas. They are unwilling to surrender. I want to conquer Liuqiu first."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty found a reasonable reason for digging a river leading to Huainan. The ministers did not know the original intention of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. They felt that it was reasonable to conquer Liuzhou in the south, so they just followed the order.

After retreating from the court, all the officials After leaving, only the navy general He Man stayed behind and turned back to the main hall. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty asked:"General He Man, seeing that you have something on your mind, I wonder if there is anything else you want to report?"

"I have just heard that Your Majesty has the intention to regain the Yizhou Islands. This matter is also my wish. I want to……"

"I understand your love for you. Come with me to the Imperial Study Room to talk."

He Man followed Emperor Sui Yang to the imperial study. Yang Guang did not dare to say that he was digging the river for Mrs. Xuanhua, but said seriously:"Recovering the Yizhou Islands is my long-cherished wish. I said it earlier this morning. But he will never go back on his words. He Man said:"

Your Majesty, I have been looking forward to recovering Yizhou for a long time. I am from southern Fujian and familiar with the East China Sea. I am willing to explore the East China Sea for your majesty and expedition to Yizhou.""

"He Aiqing, tell me what happened on Yizhou Island? He

Man said:"Is this Yizhou Island... It is said that in the second year of Huanglong in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, the Wu generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi led ten thousand soldiers to cross the sea to seek Yizhou and Danzhou. Although Danzhou was not found, the Yizhou Islands were recovered. Since then, Yizhou Island has been included in the territory of Wu State. Later, Jiangdong experienced wars. Many people took ships from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong to escape from the wars. By the time of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, the islanders of Yizhou Island became independent. The King of Tu changed his name to the Kingdom of Liuqiu, which led to the current situation."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"In order to revitalize the Sui Dynasty, I plan to open up all routes from the Western Regions to the East China Sea and the Southeast Asia, surrender to all countries, promote trade, enrich the people and strengthen the country, and promote the Sui civilization. If you want to surrender to the states in the East China Sea, you must recover the Yizhou Islands. He Aiqing, what do you think?"

"The emperor is far-sighted and far-sighted, and his ministers admire him endlessly."

"I know that you are from southern Fujian and know the sea well. I am planning to order you to go to Jiangdong to survey the islands."

"Does the emperor mean to plan to regain Yizhou? Emperor

Sui Yang nodded:"Yes, it would be best not to fight, but a war is inevitable." I wrote a letter to the King of Hejian, and Aiqing personally brought it to Jiangdong to assist the King of Hejian in preparing for the Eastern Expedition. what do you think?"

"What the emperor said was exactly what the minister thought, and the minister obeyed."He Man bowed and happily accepted the order and left.

Ever since Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty announced the recovery of Yizhou (today's Taiwan, China) and the construction of a canal for this purpose, there has been a lot of discussion throughout the court. Yang Guang returned to the inner palace, and Xiao Jun asked:"I heard that your Majesty has modified the canal channel and needs to dig a river channel to Huainan first?"

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"Yes, I want to recover Yizhou and transport troops and food. The waterway is the fastest, so I first dig the Huainan River to connect it to the east of the Yangtze River."

"Your Majesty, don't hide it from your concubines. The King of Hejian has already stationed troops and horses in Huainan. He only needs an imperial edict to march east across the sea. Why do we need water transportation? Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty saw that he couldn't hide Xiao Jun, and said:"What's wrong with connecting to Jiangdong? The queen is from Jiangdong, so she will inevitably miss her hometown. She will return to her hometown by boat, and it will be quick and easy to visit Jiangdong.""

"Your Majesty is hiding something from my concubine again. I am from Jiangling, not Jiangdong. This canal leading to Jiankang was definitely not built for my concubine. Could it be that it was built for Mrs. Xuanhua?"

"this……"Xiao Jun guessed what Yang Guang was thinking, and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty kept his head silent. Xiao Jun advised:"It will take more than a thousand miles to dig the canal. Your Majesty, don't make the people of the world suffer because of Bo Xuanhua's smile.""

"Queen, don't worry, I will think about it."Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty was about to leave without waiting for Xiao Jun to speak.

"Your Majesty is in a hurry to leave. Could it be that he goes to see Mrs. Xuanhua? Yang

Guang smiled slightly and tried to persuade her:"No matter how much I think about it, I can't hide it from the queen. Xuanhua has been weak recently and there are no close relatives in the palace. I should at least pay a visit.""

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm not that narrow-minded. It's just that the Ministry of War has just sent me an urgent message. I'm a female prostitute and can't participate in politics, so I won't delay my departure after your Majesty approves it."

"It's rare that the queen is worried about me. How is the fight between Duke Yue and the rebels? Yang Guang asked:

Xiao Jun handed over the memorial and said:"The Duke of Yue took Pujin Pass on his own. The morale of the three armies has greatly increased. They are leading their troops northward. The two hundred thousand rebels are retreating steadily.""

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty read the memorial carefully, and after reading it, he handed it to Xiao Jun:"I ordered Yang Su to start the war immediately. The soldiers must be quick and fast, so there can be no delay. I have granted the queen permission to approve it on my behalf."

After saying that, Emperor Sui Yang left Ning'an Hall alone to visit Mrs. Xuanhua. Empress Xiao looked at Emperor Sui Yang in despair, with only a hint of helplessness in her expression. It can be said: It's hard to buy a beauty and a smile, just for homesickness. The river is far away. All the three thousand beauties have fallen out of favor, but the beauty who lives on the bed of illness is charming.

One curtain of the southern country, one curtain of dreams, millions of men and women, millions of moves. The canal becomes vast every year, and the waves flow through the river to support the waves.
