Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty took the recital and the recital of Yuwenshu, and was so angry that he paced back and forth on His Majesty Dan, and said: "Looking at this confession, the Li family has committed a major crime of rebellion, and it is indeed true. Quickly beheaded Li Hun Manmen, and the people of the clan were exiled to Lingnan. "

Several important ministers were not afraid of big things when they saw Yuwen Shu, but they expected that Emperor Yang of Sui would be angry and would kill him, and no one dared to advise. Seeing that Emperor Yang of Sui was so superstitious and had a look of incomprehension, Yuwen Shu suddenly had a poisonous plan in his heart, and said in accordance with Emperor Yang of Sui's thoughts: "In the opinion of Wei Chen, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, should also be investigated. "

Su Wei looked at Yu Wenshu with disdain, disdainful, squinting and not saying a word. But Pei Yun and Yu Shiji couldn't hold it back, although they were not the same as Yuwenshu, but they couldn't stand it in their hearts and let Yuwenshu toss it like this. Pei Yun played: "Li Yuan is out to fight traitors, don't act rashly. "

Yu Shiji also said: "Now there are Guo Zihe, Liang Shidu, and Liu Wu in Shanxi on the third road, if the main general Li Yuan is arrested at this time, the thieves will definitely wave their troops south, and the Beijing division is in danger, and it is absolutely impossible." "

Emperor Yang of Sui saw that everyone had different opinions, and he had no idea in his heart, and felt that his thoughts were a little confused, so he waved his hand to let everyone leave and went to the imperial garden alone.

In the imperial garden, it is the season of flowers, fragrant and gorgeous, and colorful butterflies spread fragrance. I met Chen Guiren accompanying Empress Xiao to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden. Emperor Yang of Sui said: "When the flowers bloom today, I always feel that they are not as bright as in previous years." "

Xiao Hou said: "I heard that thieves are swarming and blocking the main roads, and the flowers and plants paid by many counties and counties cannot be transported to the eastern capital. "

Emperor Yang of Sui grabbed a flower with his hand, crushed it in his hand, and said silently: "If the Central Plains can't enjoy the flowers, it's better to go to Jiangdu." "

Empress Xiao was a little surprised when she heard this, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to go down to Jiangdu again?"

"The imperial garden is just these flowers and plants, since the queen likes it, I will accompany the queen to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangdong again. No matter how good the flowers of the Central Plains are, they are not as lush as the flowers and plants in Jiangdong. "

"Your Majesty, now that thieves are everywhere, and quelling chaos is the most important, why bother to fight for a garden of flowers and plants. "

Emperor Yang of Sui sighed and said: "The foundation of the Great Sui is in the pass, and the foundation of me is in the Jiangdu, if you don't move the capital now, you can only stay in the pass alone, and it will be difficult to go to the south of the Yangtze River in the future." "

"Move the capital?" Empress Xiao was taken aback, glanced at each other with Chen Guiren, and in the face of doubts, Emperor Tai of Sui Yang was natural, just smiled and walked away.

......

The next day, hundreds of officials went to the court, met the Son of Heaven, in front of civil and military officials, Emperor Yang of Sui's idea of moving the capital was not easy to say directly, but told everyone to parade the three rivers and capitals. Pei Yun and Yu Shiji are both from Jiangdong, and when they heard that they went to Jiangdu, they echoed one after another. And the officials in the customs were all silent.

Only the minister Ren Zong stood up and said: "Building a dragon boat, the cost is huge, Feng Xiaoci suppressed the thief in Hebei, Li Yuan suppressed the thief in Hedong, Chen Ling suppressed the thief in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zhang Xutuo suppressed the thief in Qingzhou, and the Yin Shishi suppressed the thief in Longyou. "

Yu Wenshu was in charge of the military, and when he saw that Ren Zongchen said that he was not effective in suppressing thieves, he felt that he had lost face, so he played: "What Ren Zong said is not accurate, now that the thieves have exterminated eight or nine times out of ten, it is appropriate to go to Jiangdu." "

Yang Guang listened to what Yuwen said, where could he listen to Ren Zong's advice, and said to Ren Zong: "I am not afraid of thieves, but I am afraid that you will talk nonsense." The warrior in front of the palace dragged Ren Zong out of the court staff for two hundred. "

The left and right samurai took Ren Zong, and Ren Zong shouted: "If you don't listen to the advice, you will mislead the country!"

Emperor Yang of Sui was furious, and shouted again: "Bold fanatics, roar the palace, until you are killed!"

A court rod, the loyal minister Ren Zong was beaten to death, the hundred officials were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, Emperor Yang of Sui saw Su Wei couldn't help but move his steps, and hid behind the pillars of the main hall, so he asked Su Wei: "What is Su Aiqing's opinion?"

Su Wei usually pretends to be deaf and dumb, and Lao Cheng is serious, and when he saw that the emperor asked, he was not a sycophant of Yuwenshu, so he thought about it and replied: "The thieves are not under the jurisdiction of the old ministers, and I don't know how much." Lao Chen just felt that the thieves were getting closer and closer, in the past, the thieves were far away in Qingzhou, but now they have arrived in the eastern capital, and they are very worried. "

Su Wei peeked at it, saw that Emperor Yang of Sui was not moved, and said: "In previous years, taxes were paid evenly according to household registration, and the treasury was full, but this year, there are very few taxes. The old minister guessed that it must be the people who became thieves, so they could not collect taxes. Last year, the decree exempted the strong men, and this year, the decree was levied, and the order was changed overnight, how can the thieves be quelled?"

Emperor Yang of Sui listened impatiently and asked, "Why are you recruiting strong men this year?"

Yuwen said: "The recruitment of Zhuang Ding is to build a dragon boat and prepare for a trip to Jiangdu in the future. "

Su Wei saw that Yang Guang thought very highly of himself, but he just wanted to go down to Jiangdu, so he stopped talking and didn't say more. When no one dared to admonish the hundred officials, I saw Fengxin Lang Cui Minxiang stand up and admonish: "Weichen thinks that His Majesty is not suitable to go to Jiangdu at this time. "

Emperor Yang of Sui's face changed and asked, "Why?"

Cui Min said: "Instead of going to Jiangdu, it is better to go back to Daxing, Daxing is in the pass, it is the place where the Great Sui opened the foundation and established a business, even if there are thieves swarming, Your Majesty can still sit in the west and face the east, according to the Tongguan, you can protect the emperor's industry." "

"You also think thieves are swarming?"

Cui Minxiang said: "Everyone in the world knows, please Your Majesty will learn from it." "

Emperor Yang of Sui pointed at Cui Minxiang and said, "Another person who talks nonsense, push it out and behead it!"

Seeing Emperor Yang's tyrannical temperament, Cui Minxiang shouted: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty will not listen to your advice, and there will be endless troubles! Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......."

Another official was beheaded, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military knew that the obedient were prosperous, and the rebel died, no one dared to say it again, Emperor Yang of Sui felt that he was killing people and standing upright, and he was very proud, so he passed down the will, and hundreds of officials accompanied him, and then went down to Jiangdu.

It was getting late, Emperor Yang of Sui returned to the harem, and when he met Empress Xiao sitting alone, Yang Guang asked: "Why didn't the queen talk to Chen Guiren tonight, but sat alone here?"

Empress Xiao said: "I heard that Your Majesty killed two ministers in a row in the early dynasty, and the concubines were a little panicked. "

"What's the uneasiness? Ren Zong and Cui Minxiang are talking nonsense, and I don't like to be admonished the most. "

Empress Xiao saw that Emperor Yang of Sui's temper was becoming more and more irritable, and said smoothly: "If Your Majesty wants to go to Jiangdu, I am afraid that the courtiers in the pass will strongly oppose it, so it is better to postpone it for a few days." "

"Although the Central Plains is good, now people are scarce and taxes are tight. Jiangdu has been in business for many years, and now I am going to Jiangdu to regroup and make a comeback. "

Empress Xiao said: "No wonder His Majesty said that day that he would move the capital, if he went to Jiangdu, who would stay in the second capital of the east and west?"

Emperor Yang of Sui pondered for a moment and said: "The crown prince died young, and I can only order the emperor and grandson to stay behind, Yang Yu to guard Xijing Daxing on behalf of the king, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, to guard Luoyang, the eastern capital. "

"The two imperial grandsons are still young, how can they bear such a heavy burden?".

"I have been in the north of the Turks since I was a teenager, and now it is not easy to hand over to the two emperors and grandsons to stay in Erjing, and now the emperors and grandsons should grow up early and govern the country. "

Having said that, Empress Xiao understood in her heart that Yang Guang no longer had expectations for the East and West Erjing, so she lost it to the emperor's grandson. Emperor Yang of Sui saw that Xiao Jun was silent, and comforted him: "I love singing and dancing in the Eastern Capital on weekdays, so let Gong'e dance a song." "

Empress Xiao knew that she would see Gong'e in the eastern capital again, and she didn't know when she would have to wait, so she asked Chen Guiren to summon a few Gong'e who were good at singing and dancing to cheer up. Ten palace ladies danced, and Chen Guiren brought a pot of wine and a few snacks.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty drank two cups of warm wine, urging the wine, as if unloading a thousand catties of heavy burden, mixed into several palace laves, singing and dancing, so that he could live freely. Drunk, he sat crookedly at the table, only to hear Yang Guang chant loudly

I dream that Jiangnan is good, and the expedition to Liao is also accidental.

But the color is there, and the parting is only this year.

When Chen Guiren heard this, he asked: "Today's good day, the poems you make may be ominous." "

I only heard Emperor Yang of Sui drunken and said: "I don't drink alcohol, it's hard to tell the truth." Farewell to the Central Plains today, return indefinitely. After hearing this, Empress Xiao, Chen Guiren and other palace ladies couldn't help but cry, thinking of the past glory of the Great Sui.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was groggy alone, fell over the dragon couch, snored and fell asleep, Queen Xiao Jun wiped away her tears, and said helplessly to Chen Wan: "It seems that the two ministers died well, and it is no accident." "

Chen Wan asked, "How can you see it?"

"In the emperor's own heart, he understands better than anyone else that thieves are swarming, the two capitals can't hold it, and it won't help to kill all those surnamed Li, only Jiangdong can survive. "

Chen Wan said: "There are still six ways to suppress the Kou, wait patiently, there will be a turnaround." "

Empress Xiao said: "The emperor has an unspeakable secret. As the Son of Heaven, you can only be right in everything, not wrong, and you can't admit mistakes. It's a pity that no matter how many ministers are killed, no one can bear this mistake for the emperor. "

"The two capitals are important, where the foundation is, can they be thrown to the anti-kings from all walks of life?"

"Tonight's poem has shown the king's heart, and the emperor has confessed his mistake to the two of us, moved to Jiangdu, and can not be admonished again. "

......

In the twelfth year of the Great Cause, on the tenth day of July in 616 AD, Emperor Yang of Sui visited Jiangdu for the third time. Hundreds of officials are listed under the city of Luoyang. General Duan Da, Taifu Qing Yuan Wendu, Left Guard General Dugu Wudu, Right Guard General Huangfu Wuyi, the four of them stood in front of the hundred officials, the honor guard walked by, Yang Guang got out of the chariot, led the emperor Sun Yue Wang Yang Tong, looked at the four ministers, and said: "I am going to Jiangdu, the eastern capital is garrisoned, thanks to the four Aiqing acting. "

Duan Dayan said: "Your Majesty, when will you return from this trip?"

"Alas. Emperor Yang of Sui looked up to the sky and sighed: "There is no future." Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty handed over the little emperor Sun Yang Tong to Duan Da, and he was full of melancholy. Say goodbye to the people left behind, and 100,000 forbidden troops escort east.

Although the flags along the way are majestic and mighty, after all, most of the soldiers accompanying them are people from the Guan, and they have no intention of going east, so they march slowly and hesitate all the way.

Walked for a day, it was getting late, set up a camp palace tent along the way, Emperor Yang of Sui camped to entertain the ministers, only Queen Xiao sat alone in the palace tent, at this time Chen Guiren came to the palace tent and said: "Su Xiangguo asks to see Niangniang." "

"Xuan Lao Xiangguo is here to see. "

Su Wei entered the tent and met the queen, Xiao Jun asked: "Your Majesty has invited a hundred officials, why didn't Lao Xiangguo accompany the wine, but came to see the mourning family?"

"The old minister has a word, I have to say. Tomorrow will be out of the Bishui Pass, once out of the Bishui Pass, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return to the Central Plains. The old minister asked the mother to go to the emperor, and it was not too late to return to Beijing at this time. "

Empress Xiao said: "The old Xiangguo can understand everything, but he never admonishes each other directly, he protects himself wisely, and every time he asks the mourning family to go to the emperor, don't you see that Your Majesty is iron-hearted?"

"The old minister is old, it is not a pity to die, but the emperor of the Great Sui Wanli is now vulnerable, once he arrives in Jiangdu, I am afraid that the emperor will become a partial monarch and will never be able to return to the Guannei. "

"The mourning family originally thought that Su Xiangguo and other important ministers could best understand the sacred heart, and it seemed that when the times of all difficulties, it was the mourning family that knew His Majesty's intentions best. "

"Niangniang, how do you say this?".

"The mourning family thinks that there are three benefits to going to Huainan. The taxes in the two capitals are decreasing day by day, and the food and salary are poor, while Huainan is prosperous in commerce and trade, and rich in financial resources, which is also one of them. The Central Plains people are in turmoil, there is no strong man, Huainan is abundant, and it can still be requisitioned, and this is the second. My lord started from Jiangdu, regarded as his hometown, supported by the local people, and won the hearts of the people. With these three benefits, if you want to reorganize the society, you have to move the river. "

Only then did Su Wei realize that Empress Xiao's maintenance of the monarch and the preference for Jiangnan were indeed true, and he said: "I can know the heart of the king, Empress Moruo, with these three benefits, the old minister also hopes that the Great Sui Kingdom will stay forever." "

......

The next day, the royal car marched to the front of the Bishui Pass, and the large team of people and horses came out of the customs one after another, only to see someone in front of them blocking the royal car, Yang Guang asked: "Who stopped the car?".

The guard replied, "I believe in King Lang Airen, and I want to advise Your Majesty." "

"Send him to him. "

The two guards brought Wang Airen, who was stopping, to the front, and Yang Guang asked, "Why did you stop the car?"

"Wechen implored the emperor to return to Guannai. "

"The predecessor believed in Lang Cui Minxiang, how did he die, don't you know?"

Wang Airen said: "It is precisely because of the death of the predecessor that Weichen dares to rush forward, as a minister, he should not give in." I also hope that Your Majesty will listen to the advice and return to Guanzhong, so as not to brew eternal hatred!".

"Presumptuous!" Yang Guanglongyan was furious and reprimanded: "A mere Fengxin Lang dares to be so rude and behead him left and right!".

This Wang Airen shouted loudly: "Your Majesty does not listen to the advice, it is too late to regret, it is too late to regret...... several attendants dragged Wang Airen aside and beheaded him on the spot.

The accompanying officials bowed their heads and remained silent, and no one dared to admonish. Xiao Jun saw that Emperor Yang of Sui was so angry, and even killed his ministers, ignoring his advice, which was really a bad omen. Queen Xiao was so sad that she had to swallow the words in her mouth and swallow the resentment in her heart. It's really true:

He Zeng of the Great Sui was a loyal minister, and how many people with lofty ideals were grateful for the grace of the king.

However, the vicissitudes of the sea are easy, and I don't know how deep the mountains and rivers are broken.

The team of men and horses went out of Bishui Pass, and the news soon spread to Wagang Mountain, and the leader of Wagang Mountain, Zhai Rang, had a righteous brother named Li Mi. As mentioned earlier, this Li Mi has been following Yang Xuangan to rebel and failed, and he has fled everywhere to serve Zhai Rang's subordinates.

This time, I heard that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty went to Jiangdu three times, and the eastern capital was empty, so Li Mi offered advice to Zhai Rang: "The lord of Sui is out of the customs, and now the eastern capital is empty, the soldiers and horses left behind have not been trained, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, is young, and the officials who stayed behind have different decrees, and the people are centrifuged. Duan Da and Yuan Wen are both stupid and unscrupulous, and in my opinion, they are not the general's opponents. If the general can act according to the plan, then the Central Plains can be determined."

Zhai Rang asked: "I heard that the general of Bishui Pass is named Pei Renji, who is strong in martial arts and knows how to use soldiers well, if you defend Bishui Pass, I am afraid that we are not opponents?"

Li Mi said with a smile: "The little brother offers a plan to lure the snake out of the hole, and he will definitely be able to defeat Pei Renji." "

"Brother Xian, come quickly. "

"To the north of Bishui Pass, is the granary of the Great Sui, called Xingluocang. If the elder brother sends troops to capture Xingluo, Bishui Pass will send troops to rescue him, and then set up an ambush to encircle and suppress Pei Renji. Li Mi said.

Zhai Rang was overjoyed, thinking that this was a clever plan, and immediately sent an order, ordered 7,000 rebel troops, and went straight to the Xingluo granary.

The 7,000 righteous army of Wagang Mountain went out of the north of Yangcheng, crossed Fangshan, broke through Xingluocang from Luokou, opened the granary and let the people take grain, and the old and weak women and children, and the poor people in all directions continued to take grain to satisfy their hunger on the road.

The news spread to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Yang Tong, the king of Yue, hurriedly convened the remaining officials to discuss countermeasures. At this time, the officers and soldiers were unpopular, and they still defended the Bishui Pass and waited for work. "

When Duan Da heard this, he disagreed, and said: "The Wagang thieves are not enough to be troubled, but they are hungry and unbearable, and they have become rice thieves, a rabble, and they are easy to break. "

Two auxiliary ministers, one advocates going to war, the other advocates defending to the death, I don't know whether the young Yue King Yang Tong is attacking or defending, how to decide, this is:

Heroes from all walks of life rebelled against the eastern capital.

The people's hearts are rebelling, and the court is in a dilemma.
