"Big brother! The imperial court, is it really hopeless? Pei Shiqing stretched out his head and asked in a low voice.

"How could I have thought so, but now that the family has abandoned the Yang family, and Your Majesty is looking for fun all day long, drunk and dreaming of death, who has the ability to turn the tide!" Pei Shiju said angrily.

Yang Guang is in power, Pei Shiju can be said to be in power, and it can be said that he is one of the people who least wants Yang Guang to fall, but the reality is so, forcing him to make a choice, especially the major families, are making efforts, if he doesn't make a choice, he will fall behind others when he hears the Pei family in the future.

Thinking about the anti-kings everywhere, in the whole world, only Zou Yu and Luoyang Wang Shichong still nominally support the imperial court, Pei Shiqing shook his head with a wry smile helplessly.

"It's a pity that the eldest brother is trapped in Jiangdu, otherwise you can only go there and not be reused." Pei Shiqing sighed.

"Hehe, you can go, Pei Yun can go, but I can't go, as soon as I go, how will the world think of me! What will you think of the Pei family? Pei Shiju said with a smile.

"Yes! It's hard work, big brother. ”

"I will enter the palace tomorrow, hoping that the news of defeating the Turks will cheer up Your Majesty, and if you can return to Guanzhong, you may not be able to reorganize the rivers and mountains." Pei Shiju said with a perked spirit.

"If Your Majesty can really kill back in Guanzhong, subdue Zou Changfeng, and have his back against Youhe, it is indeed possible; It's just that now don't talk about Li Yuan, I'm afraid Zou Changfeng will not be able to hand over the power in his hands, after all, they still have so many soldiers under them. Pei Shiqing shook his head and said.

"If anything, you have to give it a try, after all, Your Majesty Yu Wei is here, as long as he regains his strength, and then makes the next edict against himself, he may not be able to subdue the rivers and mountains." Pei Shiju said with a glimmer of hope.

"Hopefully!"

Pei Shiqing also knew that he was the last glimmer of hope, so it would not hit his confidence.

Pei Shiju took the battle report and the folds sent by Zou Yu, and fell into contemplation again, thinking about how to persuade Yang Guang.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Pei Shiju inquired about the courtyard where Yang Guang was, and then went to meet him.

Yang Guang likes luxury the most, otherwise he would not have been able to completely defeat Lao Tzu in more than ten years.

If you want to say how much Yang Guang is a loser, it started from the third month of his Lao Tzu's death. First of all, hundreds of thousands of trenches were levied and sent to Ding Nan, from the east of Longmen to Changping and Jijun, arrived at Qingguan, crossed the river, went to Junyi and Xiangcheng, reached Shangluo, set up customs defenses, and sent heavy troops to garrison. Since March of the first year of the Great Cause, 2 million people have been conscripted and sent to build the eastern capital of Luoyang City.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is the most extravagant royal garden, called the West Garden, in the West Garden, the strange mountains and clear waters, contrast with each other; Pavilions and pavilions, skillfully placed in the meantime; The water is swirling and the green forest is lush. The hall is built facing the canal, like the scales of the dragon, like the heavens. In addition to the West Garden, there are dozens of scenic spots to visit and enjoy, such as the pool, Qushui Palace, Cold Spring Palace, Qingcheng Palace, Lingbo Palace, Jicui Palace, Xianren Palace, etc., as well as a large area of mountains and forests. You can paint a boat in a light boat, make the song of Cai Ling, or climb the bridge and pavilion road, and play the song of spring. The garden is divided into 16 courtyards, the name of each courtyard is given by Yang Guang himself, there are 12 beauties in each courtyard, and each is presided over by a lady of Sipin. Each courtyard also places a tun, so that the palace people manage, prepare livestock in the tun, raise fish through the pond, plant vegetables for the garden, plant melons and fruits, and eat the products of water and land, which is unfounded. When the leaves of the trees in the courtyard wither in winter, they cut ribbons and silk into flowers and decorate the branches. In winter, in the palace courtyard where Yang Guang went, the ice in the pond and marsh needed to be quickly chiseled off and cut into lotus leaves and arranged on it with colored silk. The five lakes were hewn out, and each lake had a radius of forty miles. The earth and stones in the lake are mountains, and there are beautifully carved pavilions and pavilions on the mountains, and the clear blue water is surrounded by them. The hewn North Sea is forty miles in circumference. There are Penglai, abbot, Yingzhou mountains in the sea, each 300 steps apart, the mountains are more than 100 feet out of the water, and the mountains are all Taixie corridors.

From the first year of the Great Cause to the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang built more than 40 annexes in Linhuai, Taiyuan, Fenzhou, Biling County, Yangzhou, Zhuo County, Beiping, Weinan, Juxian and other places. The royal garden, you can imagine how much it costs.

Not to mention that Yang Guang also likes to show off, in order to show off the demeanor of a great country, he ordered Hu merchants who came to Luoyang to eat and drink for free, and wrap silk on the big trees on the street.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, Yang Guang does not want the best, the most rare, such as the most famous "wisps of golden dragon and phoenix crab" and "exquisite peony shrimp" and other dishes, extravagant and wasteful, it can be said that it is beyond imagination, compared to a certain old woman who ate one hundred and eight dishes at a meal later, it is not inferior, and even more exaggerated.

Yang Guang also loves to cruise, ascended the throne for thirteen years, and the time in Daxing has not exceeded one year, and each time he travels, at least more than 100,000 people, you can imagine how much burden it will bring to various places and how much grain it will consume in the imperial court.

As for the life and death of the people, he never cared, and built the holy decree under the canal: "Men over fifteen years old, women under fifty years old, all of them, if there is any hidden, behead the three tribes." ”

According to statistics, in six years, the construction of the canal and the requisition of more than 5.43 million people, not to mention the construction of the Great Wall, the one or two million people levied before and after, the three conquests of Goguryeo, and one or two million people, not to mention the army.

In the first year of the Great Cause, the population counted by the household department was more than 46 million, that is to say, from the first year of the Great Cause to the current 13th year of the Great Cause, tens of millions of people were levied and paid, and there were one or two million soldiers. Except for the old, the young, the sick and the disabled, almost every adult has been requisitioned, and one can imagine how many things have been delayed, how many farming have been delayed, and how many people have died because of this.

In addition, in the past few years, there have been endless wars, dying of war, starvation, exhaustion, and freezing, and it is estimated that almost half of the country's population has died.

It can be said that Yang Guang is a loser, there is no one before and no one after him! He is in Jiangdu, there are more than 100 courtyards, and he takes turns to live every day depending on his mood, so Pei Shiju needs to ask to know where he is.

Pei Shiju, as an old minister who has gone through three dynasties and is a celebrity around Yang Guang, is naturally clear about these things, and he can still advise before, as Yang Guang becomes more and more moody, in recent years, especially after the proverb that peach and plum have been passed out, he has been cautious, not daring to make him angry, for fear that Yang Guang will involve himself with some people he doesn't like.

Most of the people who were involved with some people surnamed Li did not end well, even his relative Li Yuan, if he hadn't pretended to be incompetent and took the lady's route, I am afraid he would have been killed.

Yang Xuangan rebelled, the three expeditions to Goguryeo failed, there were endless rebellions everywhere, and now that Li Yuan has rebelled, Yang Guang can be said to no longer trust anyone, and he is moody and kills people at every turn.

………

The fifth thinks that Yang Guang is the first loser in the ages, there is no one, there must be people who think that the fifth chapter is very watery, in fact, the fifth has been simplified as much as possible, otherwise the two chapters of water will not be finished.

The main thing is that many people advocate Yang Guang, these people are nothing more than that sentence of merit in the future, and disadvantage in the contemporary! The Grand Canal and the imperial examination system.

Not to mention what the imperial examination system is for! Just think about Yang Guang's thirteen years, a country that has been subjugated by all sides and has a population of more than 46 million, and only about 20 million remains, (15 million in the fifth year of Wude) to know what kind of person he is.

I don't know what's wrong now, the black Li Shimin, the black Monkey King, and the black merchant king on the Internet! It's so outrageously black, but there are still many people who believe it.

Lao Wu always believes that it can be written and evaluated objectively, and some personal issues are black and black, just like a harmless joke; But some people joke too much, don't talk about the specifics, read the book calmly, and laugh it off!
