At the end of the fourth year of the Great Sui Dynasty, except for some people affected by natural and man-made disasters, on the whole, they lived quite comfortably.

It's just that the 100,000 Great Sui Erlang led by Yuwen Chengdu to conquer the Great Wei Dynasty couldn't come back.

For Yang Weiyang, this year is actually no different from usual, but the soil emperor in Xishu has become a student of the school palace.

The first female master of the five countries was making dumplings, and there were only Yang Weiyang and Xu Shoucai at the dinner table.

"Uncle Xu, did you say Xiuxiu was eating dumplings? You know, every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, he will cook me a big bowl of dumplings. Although every time I said that his cooking was unpalatable, and that it was far from catching up with his mother's relatives, I still didn't even have soup left. ”

"The young master is still blaming the prince?"

Yang Weiyang smiled and said, "Is it strange? Actually, I've been thinking about this question for a long time, and I really blame him for causing me to lose my mother's love." You said that what a good person your mother is, she was born in a scholarly family in Jiangnan, but she died early. ”

Xu Shoucai thought of the woman who was as gentle as water, she was very good to everyone in the house, and she saved her life, but unfortunately the good people were not rewarded, maybe the thief didn't open his eyes.

Yang Weiyang continued: "Uncle Li must be accompanying Xiuxiu, but in my heart, I don't like Uncle Li very much, the smell of blood on his body is too strong. ”

"Lord Li has borne too much infamy for the prince, but the old slave believes that Lord Li has not regretted it. ”

"But my Yang family is sorry for their family, and even the history books of later generations will not give him a good evaluation. Xiuxiu must be the same, but he is even more bitter in his heart.

His biological father and mother have never been waiting to see him, but they have admired Yang Guang, a hypocrite. His own children have never given him a good face, and he has to defend the country for his enemies, how embarrassed he feels. ”

Xu Shoucai didn't speak, the family seemed to be extremely beautiful, but who could understand the desolation hidden in it.

"During the Chinese New Year, I couldn't even eat with him, and I was embarrassed enough. ”

Yang Yaluo outside the door covered her mouth and cried, how could she have been a competent daughter. Just because of the death of their mother, they put all the blame on Yang Xiu.

As the king of the Xishu domain, you can't even keep your wife, what's the use?

Xishu, the city of the White Emperor.

This year, this city is still the same as in previous years, full of laughter, which is due to the fact that Xishu has a good prince.

However, the mansion of the King of Shu was unusually deserted, except for Yang Xiu and Li Baozong, not even a single maid and guard could be seen. But don't think that this palace is just an empty shell, and it will definitely allow those with bad intentions to come and go.

Yang Xiu sat in the second seat, Li Baozong sat in the lower seat, and the main seat was full of rice, and a pair of chopsticks were put on it, but no one sat there.

That was Yang Weiyang's seat, and every year during the Chinese New Year, Yang Xiu would give him the main seat in order to please him. I will also cook a big bowl of dumplings, but unfortunately it is not as delicious as his mother's cooking.

He knew that the dumplings he cooked were not tasty, but he had never tasted them.

When Yang Xiu ordered a big bowl of dumplings for Li Baozong and himself, Li Baozong, who had eaten a bite, spit it out directly. And Yang Xiu also hurriedly took a bite and also spit it out.

Then Yang Xiu's wrinkled face suddenly burst into tears, it turns out that you haven't blamed me all along. He was very relieved, but he couldn't help himself, because he was not the most powerful person in the entire Great Sui Dynasty.

Li Baozong used to envy Yang Weiyang for being able to eat Yang Xiu's dumplings, but when he saw this scene, he didn't know how to express his complicated feelings in his heart.

Yang Xiu cried many years ago, 150,000 Great Sui soldiers followed him to fight the Great Xia Dynasty, and only more than 3,000 people came back, and he cried at that time. He cried when his wife died in the turmoil, and he cried just as much this time.

The events of many years ago, the people of many years ago, have become the past in memory.

Yang Xiu ate dumplings silently, thinking too much. What he has given and what he has received, or the one in the court, is everything he wants now?

For that position, the family is ruined, and the entire five countries are telling this kind of thing, is it enough?

Yang Xiu feels that he is old, even if he becomes the emperor, what can he do? Xishu's luck has been almost consumed, and it is the people who suffer after all if he acts against the sky.

They were never wrong, they just wanted a simple life. If they have any bad actions and behaviors, they are also forced out by this turbulent world.

Old, old, really old.

"Baozong, don't force it if you can't eat it, give it to me!"

"It's okay, the prince can eat it, why can't I eat it. I wanted to be chased and beaten by the Great Xia Army God for more than a month, but I ate wild vegetables and tree roots for a month, it's better than that!"

"I've really worked hard for you all these years!" Yang Xiu said softly.

Li Baozong was about to speak, but Yang Xiu continued: "You have followed me for more than thirty years!"

Li Baozong nodded: "Well, to be exact, thirty-four years and one hundred and eighty-two days!"

"Yes, I've known each other for so long, I know what you think in your heart, but you have to know that this world is the world of the people, not the world of our Yang family. If it disturbs the stable life of the people, I am afraid that the ancestors of the Yang family will not give me a good look after death. ”

Li Baozong's face was gloomy, he was not gloomy about Yang Xiu, but about the one who was now in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

No one can say what happened back then, but everyone knows it. And as long as it is determined, then it is not so important whether you are or not.

"Lord Wang, it's not that I, Li Baozong, want to become a minister of the dragon, but this Great Sui Dynasty needs you. Even if Yang Guang has great ability, he seems to be a master of the eye. ”

"Baozong, who do you think still remembers that it was my Yang Xiu who brought stability to the Great Sui Dynasty. The Western Chu that had fought did not dare to cross the Qutang Gorge, and the army of Great Xia was wiped out. All they want is a peaceful and prosperous world, and what qualifications do I, Yang Xiu, have to let them endure the war again. ”

"Then won't the princess's revenge be avenged? Yang Xiu, you are willing to defend the country for Yang Guang, the enemy who killed your wife, for a lifetime. Let your son and daughter become puppet-like beings?"

Li Baozong couldn't care about the consequences of saying this, since he met Yang Xiu thirty-four years ago, he was destined to fight for him.

Unfortunately, he suddenly realized that he was wrong. It was wrong, but he didn't know where it was.

Li Baozong turned to leave, Yang Xiu watched this brother who had been suffering with him for so many years lose his temper, and suddenly felt a little bitter, but he wanted to laugh again.
