"Now that the south is fighting for life and death, if we go south, we should be able to wipe them out, right?"

With Yang Tong's words, Chaoyang Hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone was frightened by Yang Dong's crazy actions.

"No!"

"No way!"

"Never."

After a long time, Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, and Fang Xuanling were all opposed.

"My Great Sui is now solemn and peaceful, the people are happy, commerce and trade are developed, agriculture is prosperous, and the soldiers are working hard...... There are still more than 100,000 or 200,000 slaves who don't want to lose money to take the lead, why can't they decide the battle in one battle? ”

Yang Tong suddenly didn't want to play, he just thought about bulldozing the southern forces with one guy! And he felt that Da Sui was pushing flat.

Yang Gongren looked at his capricious, flamboyant, and childish face, and said helplessly: "Since His Royal Highness asked so, the minister will answer." The Great Sui is prosperous and prosperous, and it is a prosperous image, but in the eyes of Kechen, this situation may only be a superficial ......"

"Physiognomy?" Yang Tong stared at him steadily.

"The cause of the Great Sui has been thriving in recent years, and the cultural and martial arts are all outstanding! Treatise governance, His Royal Highness educates the people and enriches the world, even the literary scene of the Han Dynasty is not as good; In terms of martial arts, His Royal Highness expanded thousands of miles of land in Liaodong and the northern grasslands, and then protected the world with the Great Wall, and the most important thing is that His Royal Highness is getting richer and stronger the more he fights, which is not as good as the Qin Emperor Han Wu and the Wu Emperor of this dynasty. No one can deny this. ”

Since the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, in fact, there have been many problems and contradictions. Yang Yong, who Yang Jian was afraid of, couldn't control the world, so Yang Jian must change the prince. Because among the sons, only the majestic Yang Guang can keep the Great Sui Dynasty.

After Yang Guang pacified Nan Chen, he sat in Yangzhou for more than ten years, he stabilized the south where the people did not conform to and rebelled, so that the Great Sui Dynasty really moved towards unification, his literary talent, military strategy, and eloquence are obvious to all, Yang Jian believes that only Yang Guang can suppress the ambitious Guanlong magnates, and only he can lead the Great Sui Dynasty to become strong.

However, Yang Yong had more than enough governance and lack of progress, and he did not have the eloquence to be feared by the Guanlong magnates, so he could not quell the chaos caused by the imperial examination system, and if the imperial examination system was not implemented, the Great Sui would not be able to maintain long-term peace and stability like the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

When Yang Jian was alive, Guan Long's magnates did not dare to act rashly, if he died, the weak and mediocre Yang Yong was just another Emperor Xiaojing and Emperor Wei Gong. It can be said that Yang Yong was deposed, not as stated in some books, but because Queen Dugu favored Yang Guang. This may be a reason, but it is by no means the main cause.

Because Yang Yong has been the prince for more than 20 years, he has already formed a huge power system, and at the same time, he is also assisted by Gao Gong, who is both civil and military; And Yang Guang has been in Yangzhou for more than ten years, and his power in the court is far inferior to Yang Yong, if it is only the reason for Queen Dugu, Yang Jian will definitely not abolish Yang Yong, because the risk of abolishing Yang Yong is too great, and it will even cause the nascent Great Sui Dynasty to be divided into two.

But in the end, for the sake of the Great Sui Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji and the continuation of the Yang family, Yang Jian did not hesitate to abolish Yang Yong, the eldest son of the prince for nearly 20 years, and replaced him with Yang Guang, who was eloquent and strategic. In order to boost Yang Guang's power and balance Gao Gong, he did not hesitate to push Yang Su, who was proficient in all aspects of Wen Taowu's strategy, governing the country, and everything, to Yang Guang.

This truth is like Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty replacing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with the throne, Emperor Jing thought that Liu Che could lead the Han Dynasty to resist the military minister Shan Yu, who was both civil and military, and he let Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty win the throne, and killed Zhou Yafu, who stubbornly supported the crown prince Liu Rong, and then supported Tian Wei to ascend the throne; For the sake of Yang Guang, Yang Jian also used a reason that was not a reason to remove Gao Gong and focus on supporting Yang Su.

It's just that the enemy of the Han Dynasty was the Xiongnu, and the enemy of the Sui Dynasty came from within, but for the royal family, the internal danger was the most deadly danger. Emperor Jing of Han, who directly destroyed Zhou Yafu, was much more benevolent and kind. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he worshiped Gao Gong as too often, hoping to win his heart with a high-ranking official, who would have thought that Gao Gong would not miss his kindness, and fanned the flames everywhere, and challenged Yang Guang's patience one after another, and finally caused the disaster of killing.

Emperor Jing and Yang Jian's foresight is by no means very accessible. The reason why great people are great is that they have a long-term vision, their thinking is not limited to immediate gains and losses, they always look at the world, take a step forward, and think about the next hundred steps.

……

Historian Qian Mu said that 'where there is an improvement in history, there is often a reactionary time', and the 'improvement' will offend the interests of too many people, and the peaceful evolution of that set will not work at all, so after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he carried out drastic reforms to the Great Sui Dynasty in a radical way. But he didn't have the crazy energy to smash the world and clean it up, so while radical change, there were compromises, which finally made the world a big mess.

Reformers often have to have a resolute and never-say-die heart, and when they decide to achieve their goals at any cost and by unscrupulous means, Yang Guang is a little deficient in this regard, and he chooses to escape when he is in turmoil.

If Yang Guang was in the center of Luoyang after the siege of Yanmen ended, Li Yuanzhi and his ilk would not dare to jump out and make trouble. But even if Yang Guang went to Jiangdu, Li Yuan didn't have the courage to rebel, and it wasn't until Xiao Mo messed up the south that he embarked on the road of rebellion under the calculation of others.

When the Sui Dynasty arrived at Yang Tong, it was already fragmented, but after he established himself in Jizhou, he swept away the decline and vigorously implemented the new policy, further amplifying Yang Guang's radical methods, and fundamentally breaking the foundation of the family's control of the imperial court. From the second emperor of civil and military affairs to Yang Dong, there is a main line task, this main line is actually fighting with the family, Emperor Wen Yang Jian is Wendou, Emperor Wu Yang Guang is martial arts, and Yang Dong is broken and then established, seeking great governance in the chaos, which is a kind of ideological inheritance and continuation.

Up to now, although everyone doesn't say it, they all know in their hearts that under the management of Yang Tong, the Great Sui is already the first prince in the world, the people are happy, the cangfu is abundant, and the armaments are sufficient, and hundreds of thousands of people in armor can be pulled out casually, and it seems that it is difficult to find a resistance in the world.

But!

"However, does Your Highness know why Emperor Wu, such a strong person, failed in the change?"

"Why?" Yang Tong really didn't think about this one seriously.

"Compromise." After Yang Gongren calmly made a definition, he analyzed: "The way of balance has always been to support one faction, suppress one faction, and isolate one faction. That's what Emperor Wu did when dealing with the Guanlong nobles, he supported Yuwenshu, suppressed the Dugu clan, isolated the Dou clan, and introduced Pei Ju and Pei Yun, the representatives of the Guandong clan, as prime ministers, and also reused Yu Shiji of the southern faction! However, everyone has selfish intentions, whether it is Er Pei, Yu Shiji, or Yu Wenshu, they are all supported by Emperor Wu and have lost their original intentions, and they do not hesitate to collude with the Guan Long family behind their backs in order to get more! Emperor Wu also had a headache about this, so he basically adopted a compromise strategy in the back, and the original Guanlong nobles were unruly, which fueled their arrogance and became more and more arrogant. It's harder to pack up. ”

"And why did Emperor Wu compromise? Because he was reluctant to make a big mess of the stable world. If he didn't ask about the innocent and slaughtered the Guanlong family, the chaos would be just Guanzhong at most, and then divide the land equally, the world would soon be calm. But Emperor Wu retreated and put himself in a desperate situation. Because by the time they got to that step, the Great Sui and Guan Long families had long been unable to coexist. ”

"Now Li Yuan is in a period of survival, his strength is seriously damaged, and he can't pull an army that can compete with my Great Sui in a hurry, and if he goes south at this time, he can indeed wipe it out, but His Royal Highness, the bright knife is not terrible, the terrible poisonous snake hidden behind it, if the family is lurking, the Great Sui will fall into endless infighting and endless compromises. And their revenge will be even crazier, because their hatred with today's Great Sui is deeper than that of Emperor Wudi! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Yang Shidao also said: "In fact, after His Royal Highness entered Jizhou, the strategy of hitting one place, governing one place, and stabilizing one place is the most clever strategy, you see how clean I am under the rule of Da Sui now!" And why try to be quick for a while, and let the future fall into infinite strife? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "The important thing is that once my Great Sui raises troops, the southern heroes will definitely form an alliance against the Sui, and the defeat of my Great Sui means destruction, and the destruction is so bad that even a county order or a county official cannot survive." ”

Du Ruhui said solemnly: "Even the students of the Tsinghua Academy, the Han scholars and the students of Heyi in the Great Sui will die." Because the family does not allow the existence of righteous learning, compulsory education, the imperial examination system, the equalization of fields, and the spread of land into acres, and even this kind of thinking cannot be tolerated! In short, once my Great Sui is defeated, all people and things related to the Great Sui will be destroyed. Advanced techniques such as new papermaking and printing will also become tools for the family to continue to rule the world, and will be kept secret and treasured. ”

Wei Zheng, Liu Zhenghui, Ling Jing, Jiang Xingben, these four Han scholars heard this, their faces all changed, their early years of study went through ups and downs, in order to study, they had to bear the disdain and contempt of the famous family, after learning something, they asked themselves not to lose to the so-called celebrities, but what they got in Luoyang was not only the ridicule of the scholars, but also did not even get the qualifications to apply for the examination. If the Great Sui fails, the situation of the Han Shi will probably be ten thousand times more difficult than before.

Yang Dong was silent when he heard this, although the Great Sui was located in Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yongzhou and most of Liangzhou, but the Great Sui represented by himself had already been the enemy of the scholar class and had become the target of the public, and to overthrow the old forces, it was necessary to go through a process of precipitation.

He knew that everyone was right, especially Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's words, which made him sweat even more. Because he is involved in the fate of too many people, he can't be defeated, once he is defeated, some people will have other thoughts in order to get a way to live, they will have adulteration with the family, and they will betray the interests of the Great Sui.

If the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult for the team to lead.

After a long time, Yang Tong took a long breath and introspected to himself: "Over the years, I have gone too smoothly...... With the great victory of Xingyang, Wudeshan, Liaodong, Mayi, Bingzhou, Goguryeo, and Guanzhong...... The smooth fight against the Hebei Shi clan, the Bingzhou Shi clan, and the Guanlong family, and the smooth expansion of their power for thousands of miles, made me have an illusion that I can sweep the world and dominate the mountains and rivers if I send troops now. But I forgot the fact that my foundation is shallow and can't withstand failure, so I get carried away, which is my fault. ”

"Actually, Your Highness has done a good job!" Yang Gongren sighed, took Yang Dong's words and said, "As His Highness himself said, the biggest problem for His Highness and even my Great Sui is that it is too smooth. Li Tang is recognized as the second largest force in the world, but in front of my Great Sui, he has become a soft persimmon at will, since the second major force is so unbeaten, then other forces will not take it to heart. But no one has thought that your Great Sui Front extends from the coast of Shaohai (East Korean Sea) to Wuwei, although there is a new Great Wall to resist, but it also requires a lot of troops to garrison, and the passive defense will eventually fail. The defense line in the south is also extremely long, from Bohai County to Wuwei County is also thousands of miles long, the enemies in the north are the Eastern and Western Turks, the enemies in the south, there are Goguryeo, Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Li Tang, as well as the ill-intentioned Tuyuhun, and the Qiang people who have not yet been attached, it is not enough to say that they are surrounded by enemies, but His Royal Highness has always only stared at the Tang army, if Li Tang is really beaten to death, others will definitely unite to fight against the Sui under the cold lips and teeth, instead of waiting for His Highness to clean up one by one. ”

"Now as long as we do every little thing well, continue to be courteous and virtuous, treat the people well, and accumulate steadily, as long as we wait for three or five years, we will be able to dominate the world."

"Yes! My Great Sui has no war and is thriving, while the south is constantly in turmoil, and the potential will be weak. ”

“……”

Everyone's words made Yang Tong's restless heart slowly calm down, and said with a smile: "Anyway, today's incident has taught me an extremely profound lesson, we must not get carried away because it is smooth, we still need to accumulate, as long as the southern princes do not violate our interests, we will not do anything to stimulate them, bury our heads in development for five years, and then look up and see each other." ”

"Immerse yourself in development for five years, and then look up and see you again." Fang Xuanling repeated it, applauded loudly, and then said: "Although it is not suitable for me to go south in the Great Sui, there are some places where I can fight without any worries. ”

"Li Liang and Tuyuhun?" Yang Tong understood what Fang Xuanling meant.
