Chapter 49 Labor and Money
Not to mention how arduous the project should be that stretches for hundreds of miles, just say that the huge bricks of this Yanmen are often more than ten meters high and wide, and now there are no cranes and other mechanical equipment, all of which are carried up by flesh and blood, which is undoubtedly a project that costs the people and money.
"Lord Yang, if you come, you will be safe, you keep putting on this appearance, but it is not good." Yuan Ziyan took a few steps back, leaned in front of Yang Yichen and whispered.
Yang Yichen was stunned, he didn't expect Yuan Ziyan to take the initiative to talk to him, but seeing that she had no malicious intent, he sighed again: "Thank you Miss Ziyan for reminding me, just stay away from Jingshi, I really feel uneasy!" ”
"Jingshi is naturally defended, and adults have to put their minds on Yanmen." Yuan Ziyan made a pun.
"What do you mean by that?"
"My lord is brave and clever, and what I want to say, you must know it in your heart. Serving the emperor, I will not accompany you. ”
Looking at the light back, Yang Yichen was surprised, and he was also impressed in his heart, no wonder the emperor favored this woman so much, it was really an extraordinary insight, not comparable to ordinary women.
Therefore, Yang Yichen also has this kind of good wishes, if the emperor will make Yuan Ziyan a concubine, it will be a blessing for the people and a blessing for the community.
Yang Guang didn't realize that the big gang behind him was worried about his safety, but accompanied by everyone, he patrolled Yanmen with a lot of anger.
However, Yang Guang had a great physical deficit after all, and he walked around for several hours in a row with a sense of interest, and he didn't feel tired. No, as soon as the ministers stopped in one place, and as soon as their mood relaxed, Yang Guang felt unwell, dizzy and dizzy, and almost fell.
Everyone saw Yang Guang's radiant side, and they didn't realize that he was a terminally ill seriously ill patient, so no one noticed Yang Guang's sudden fainting.
Yuan Ziyan was always on guard against this, and seeing that Yang Guang's situation was not right, his eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support him. But he couldn't stand Yang Guang's tall and mighty, where could Yuan Ziyan withstand his weight, so both of them fell to the ground, and Yang Guang lay on Yuan Ziyan's body, so that Yuan Ziyan couldn't breathe.
Only then did everyone react, their faces changed in fright, and they knelt to help Yang Guang up, and pleaded for the death penalty.
Yang Guang was sweating a lot on his forehead, his face was very pale, and it was inconvenient to take the medicine powder while guarding everyone, and his body trembled slightly.
"Purple smoke." Yang Guang glanced at Yuan Ziyan extremely weakly, and his cold hand held her little hand with slight force.
Yuan Ziyan knew what Yang Guang meant, and he couldn't let anyone see that he was sick, so he was in a hurry, and said in a low voice, give me the medicine powder, and then said loudly: "The slave and maid are dead, so that the saint is frightened!" The Holy Slave is dead! ”
Saying that Yuan Ziyan was about to kneel, Yang Guang hugged her and smiled slightly: "It has nothing to do with Ziyan, it's that I didn't stand firm, hurry up." ”
Saying that, Yang Guang stuffed a packet of medicinal powder into Yuan Ziyan's hand while people were unprepared, and there were eyes all around, but no one noticed the small movements of the two.
Yuan Ziyan understood, held it tightly in his hand, and then took a few steps back while everyone was shushing and asking for warmth, and quietly sprinkled the medicinal powder on the handkerchief.
Everyone still has some doubts about Yang Guang's symptoms, this complexion, this expression, can't say what's strange, anyway, it's not like a normal healthy person.
"Your Majesty, wipe your sweat!" Yuan Ziyan glanced at Yang Guang and then at the handkerchief. Yang Guang nodded approvingly, hurriedly took the handkerchief, and took a few deep breaths by wiping his sweat, the effect of the medicinal powder was very powerful, like a spring breeze hitting Yang Guang's whole body.
"Your Majesty, please go back to the Daijun Mansion to rest first." Wang Rengong had already come up with several imperial doctors as he spoke, and he wanted to take Yang Guang's pulse.
Yang Guang laughed, waved his hand and said, "I am too proud, so that I have lost my etiquette, and I am also guilty!" ”
Yang Guang's face was full of red light, and his voice was like a bell, everyone finally put their minds at ease, and all the doubts of Shicai disappeared, and they said happily in unison: "Your Majesty is blessed with heaven, and life is with heaven!" ”
Uh, this formation is a bit of a worship master, Yuan Ziyan smiled bitterly. In order to make the courtiers with bad intentions completely dead, Yang Guang walked with great interest for nearly an hour with the support of the medicinal powder.
Yuan Ziyan is a person in the future, or a top student in the history department, and if he is an ordinary person, he thinks that he has traveled to a peaceful and prosperous era.
In the last two years or so of Emperor Yang of Sui, under the cover of Yuan Ziyan, no one took the initiative to discover that Emperor Yang of Sui's body was actually terminally ill. Yang Guang is grateful to Yuan Ziyan, but others don't know what to do, and they involve too much right and wrong and resentment.
Afterwards, Yuan Ziyan often asked himself if he would help Yang Guang if time could be repeated, and the answer might be yes. This is a later story, let's get down to business.
Besides, in the evening, it is naturally a big meal, and the monarchs and ministers work together to exchange glasses.
After eating, Yang Guang seemed to be in high spirits, the smile on his face never stopped, and the courtiers were moved, but Yuan Ziyan had already seen that he was tired and bearish, where was he smiling all the time, it was obvious that the muscles on his face were stiff.
When the night banquet finally dispersed, Yang Guang divided everyone, leaving only Yuan Ziyan to serve. When everyone left, Yang Guang couldn't support it anymore, and fell to his knees, making a lot of noise.
"Your Majesty!" Xu Tingfu immediately exclaimed when he heard the movement, Yuan Ziyan didn't have time to help Yang Guang up, so he hurriedly came to the door and crossed his waist to block there, "Father-in-law Xu, the emperor has a decree that no one is allowed to disturb!" ”
"What was the sound just now?"
"If there is any sound, there is something wrong with your ears!"
Yuan Ziyan slammed unceremoniously, the corners of Xu Tingfu's mouth twitched, his teeth itched with hatred, and he said angrily: "Yuan Ziyan, the emperor's holy body is so valuable, if you have any mistakes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to atone for the ten thousand pieces of corpses!" ”
"Oops, that's scared to death!" Yuan Ziyan took a sip and closed the door with a bang, almost touching Xu Tingfu's nose, Xu Tingfu was so angry that he stomped his feet, and secretly swore in his heart that he would make Yuan Ziyan suffer in the future!
Besides, Yuan Ziyan, after returning to the house, hurriedly helped Yang Guang, who was almost paralyzed, to the bed.
"Purple smoke, give me some more powder." Yang Guang said angrily.
"Big brother, in fact, you are really tired now, as long as you have a good rest, you can recover. It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, and you have to control your intake. Yuan Ziyan said sincerely.
Well, Yang Guang nodded, waited for Yuan Ziyan to finish scrubbing him, took Yuan Ziyan's hand, and muttered, "Ziyan, I'm afraid that my move will affect you." ”
"Hehe, you're saying that there will be a lot of people who hate me in the future?"
"Purple smoke ice and snow are smart."
"That's for later, who asked me to call you big brother. It may be the legendary fate. Yuan Ziyan sighed slightly.
"If in the future, I will be the dragon and the nine heavens, and you will be left alone to suffer in the world, and I can't bear it." Yang Guang sighed again and again.
"Then I won't be buried with you!"
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and asked angrily and funny: "Then how do you get out?" ”
"I will disappear in this era, and no one will find mine." Yuan Ziyan said proudly: "Okay, close your eyes and go to bed quickly." ”
"Can Purple Smoke sleep with me?"
"Can't!"
Yang Guang smiled slightly, still took Yuan Ziyan's hand and put it on his cheek, and immediately fell asleep. Yuan Ziyan looked down at this extremely handsome face, and felt quite complicated in his heart, as if he was really his brother.
But soon Yuan Ziyan became happy, thinking that it wouldn't be long before Li Yuan and Li Shimin would come, and they would finally meet again. If you want to talk about appearance, Yang Guang should have been stronger than Li Shimin when he was young, but in terms of bearing, after coming for so long, Yuan Ziyan didn't find anyone who could surpass Li Shimin.
Hehe, I couldn't cross last time, and I fell into Li Shimin's arms, and thinking about it makes people so shy.
"Purple smoke ......," Yang Guang opened his eyes in a daze and shouted.
"Hee-hee, Shimin." Yuan Ziyan sighed, half leaned to the side and replied with a slight smile, sleeping even deeper.
Yang Guang was stunned, but he was too tired to judge whether he had heard it wrong, and fell asleep again.
At noon the next day, Emperor Yang of Sui was still asleep, Yuan Ziyan tentatively called him, but Yang Guang stretched out his hand to cover Yuan Ziyan's hand on his chest, and fell asleep again like a child.
Yuan Ziyan sighed secretly, perhaps Yang Guang was carried away by the successive victories when he was young, so that he began to build a large number of buildings in the later period, and even built a new eastern capital Luoyang, in order to excavate the long trench to defend Luoyang, and transferred hundreds of thousands of peasants in present-day Shanxi and Henan, and even served more than 2 million people per month.
Yang Guang likes to travel, and he has to go on patrol every year, and every time he also builds a palace. From the first year to the sixth year of the Great Cause, various sections of the canal were developed, and more than 3 million peasants and soldiers from Henan, Huaibei, Huainan, Hebei, and Jiangnan counties were successively transferred; In the third and fourth years of the Great Cause, the Great Wall was built east of Yulin, and 1.2 million Ding Nan was transferred twice, and more than half of the dead were killed.
Over the past 10 years, no less than 10 million peasants have been disturbed by the levy. What did this mean in the Sui Dynasty? It means that there is more than one person in each household on average, resulting in the tragic phenomenon of "the world dies in service".
Therefore, at the end of the year, the civil uprising broke out, and there was no end to it. Yang Guang can't be said to be a good-for-nothing emperor, and great achievements can also write a thick book, he doesn't know that the difficulty of defending the country is much greater than fighting the country, and he was finally defeated by the people's anger, which aroused the people's anger.
Coupled with the impatience of the heroes of all walks of life and the constant verbal incitement of the courtiers who stepped on the two boats, in the end, the Sui Dynasty prematurely perished in the tide of history, and the actual glory was only more than 20 years. And Yang Guang, the ambitious emperor who wanted to become a holy monarch, eventually became the absolute synonym of the faint monarch.
Xu Tingfu came over several times to wake up Emperor Yang of Sui, but he failed to do so, and was scolded by Yuan Ziyan every time: "Didn't you see that the emperor was sleeping soundly, and now he doesn't have to go to the court, can't he rest enough?" ”
In fact, from the perspective of modern medical experience, adequate rest is the basic requirement for the patient's physical recovery, but when he heard this, Xu Tingfu's ears changed.
