Yang Guang's order came suddenly, and before Yang Gao could react, Empress Xiao was already shocked, and pleaded with Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, no, Gao'er is only ten years old, how can you bear it?" ”

"Shut up." Yang Guang glanced at Empress Xiao impatiently, and said coldly: "For the sake of Gao'er interceding for you, I won't settle accounts with you for the time being, and I will go back to the palace!" ”

"Your Majesty—"

"Not leaving?" Empress Xiao was still about to say something, but Yang Guang glared at her fiercely and interrupted him rudely.

Empress Xiao stood up helplessly, glanced at Yang Gao reluctantly, and walked out of the imperial study with a sob.

Empress Xiao left, and there were only Yang Guang and Yang Gao father and son in the entire imperial study, and the two looked at each other for a long time, Yang Guang suddenly sighed and said to Yang Gao: "Gao'er, are you complaining in your heart that your father and emperor don't miss the old love too much?" “

"Father, this... Yang Gao was speechless for a while.

Yang Guang smiled bitterly and sighed: "Your queen mother lives in the inner palace, and Xiao Miao's rebellion has nothing to do with her, how could I not know?" ”

"Then why is the father..." Yang Gao looked at Yang Guang in surprise.

Yang Guang glanced at Yang Gao meaningfully, and sighed, "Ruthlessness is the most emperor's family!" Gao'er, you have been smart since childhood, but after all, you are not deeply involved in the world, and you don't understand the sinister hearts of people, Xiao Mo is your mother's nephew after all, if I don't make this gesture, this matter will definitely be used by those rebellious ministers and thieves, they will spread rumors that I connived at the harem, saying that your mother is a red face and trouble, and people are terrible! ”

As he spoke, a disgusted expression appeared on Yang Guang's face, and he said hatefully: "Once these rumors spread, those pedantic scholars who claim to be loyal ministers will come out and petition in a big way, saying what please behead your mother to correct the harem, so that they can win a clear reputation for themselves!" ”

"Gao'er, you remember!" The more Yang Guang spoke, the more excited he became, and there was even a hint of murder in his eyes, "Li Mi and Xiao Mi are hateful thieves, but what should be killed is those self-proclaimed scholars and doctors in the court, who claim to be loyal and good men, but they only care about their own reputation and completely ignore the interests of my Great Sui, which is really hateful!" ”

"Although Yu Shiji is greedy for money, he is quick to think and does things very well, and those Qingliu doctors are very famous, and they can do things more than a rice bucket. Gao'er, I will teach you a trick to employ people today, as an emperor, you must not only be able to use loyal ministers and good generals, but also know how to control traitors, traitors have the magic of traitors, and some things you can't do without traitors! ”

"Father..." Yang Gao looked at Yang Guang with a shocked expression.

Yang Guang smiled faintly and said: "Silly boy, knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, I don't know what you want to do." Your imperial grandfather handed over the Great Sui to me, but I made it to pieces, I am really ashamed of your imperial grandfather! “

A trace of sadness flashed in Yang Guang's eyes, "Father's time is running out, but the heirs under his knees are thin, and although Xuan'er is old, she is too unsuccessful; Although Qi'er is smart, his scholarly spirit is too heavy, and he is taught badly by that group of nerds, and it is difficult to achieve great things. Now my father can only count on you, I hope you can fulfill your father's wish, so that your father can face your grandfather under Jiuquan! ”

"Father!"

Hearing Yang Guang's words, Yang Gao couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, and fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

This is Yang Guang's confession, the Emperor Yang of Sui, who ascended the throne as the second son, was ambitious at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, digging the Grand Canal to promote the integration of the north and the south, establishing the imperial examination system, breaking the monopoly of the family on the officialdom, destroying the Tuhun Valley and expanding the territory, and reopening the Silk Road in Zhangye in the west.

However, because of the obstruction of the family, coupled with his character flaws of quick success, the blueprint of his dreams was shattered, and as a loser, he was branded as a tyrant through the ages.

But who would know that because of the exhaustion of state affairs, he was already full of gray hair before he was fifty years old, and who could understand the sadness in his heart when he was hanged to death by Yu Wenhua in the fourteenth year of the great cause?

"Gao'er, put away your tears!" Yang Guang picked up Yang Gao, who was sobbing, and said earnestly: "Gao'er, you have to remember that the emperor must have the majesty of an emperor, and no matter when, no one can see your weak side!" ”

Yang Gao wiped away his tears vigorously and nodded heavily, "The child remembers!" ”

Yang Guang patted Yang Gao's shoulder heavily, "Gao'er, now that the nobles of Guanlong are ready to move, if what I expected is good, Guanzhong will definitely change within three years." Once there is a change in Guanzhong, I am afraid that my father will not be far from his death, so you must pacify Jingxiang before this, otherwise you will be enemies before and after, and you will inevitably change! ”

"Father!" Yang Gao was completely shocked, and asked puzzledly: "Father, since you know this, why don't you go back to Guanzhong to sit down?" ”

Yang Guangchang sighed, "It's easy to get in, it's hard to get out!" Guanzhong is the nest of the Guanlong nobles, even if I go back, there is only one Chang'an City that I can really control, once there is a change, my father will probably become their puppet! ”

Yang Guang paused, and a touch of perseverance appeared on his face: "I am the Son of Heaven, I would rather die than be that marionette, I have lived up to your imperial grandfather's expectations of me, and I can only die to apologize!" And what I can do now is to do my best to pave the way for you and help you prosper the Great Sui! ”

Looking at Yang Guang's determined eyes, Yang Gao nodded heavily.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

At dawn the next day, Yang Guang issued an order to appoint Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, as the governor of Nanjun, and Xue Li, Su Kuang, and Mai Mengcai as deputies, leading an army of 70,000 to conquer Xiao Miao. Although Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenhua and Yuan Min, Fu Xilang, Niu Fangyu, Li Fu and others strongly opposed Yang Gao on the grounds that he was young, Yang Guang acted arbitrarily and ignored the opposition of Yu Wenshu and others, and ordered Yang Gao to go on an expedition!

Yang Gao complied with the order, led 70,000 troops to Jiangxia, crossed the Han River, stationed troops in Xiangyang, and formed a confrontation with Xiao Mill's general Lei Shimeng, who was leading the army north to attack Xiangyang.

Fifty miles south of Xiangyang City, Xiao Liangjun camp.

"What? You said that Yang Guang sent his son, who was only ten years old, to lead the army? NVC's eyes widened as he stared at the scout and asked.

"It's true!" The scout nodded heavily, "This matter has been rumored in Jiangdu City, and there will be no mistake!" “

NVC frowned, "This is strange, although that faint king is extremely brutal, he is not crazy enough to let a ten-year-old doll lead the army, right?" “

Zhang Xiu, the deputy general on the side, guessed and said: "Will it be because of the matter of Liang Gong that the faint monarch will become more suspicious, and he can't trust those generals, so he sent his son to lead the army. “

"It's possible!" NVC nodded violently, and then laughed and said: "But what ability can a ten-year-old doll have, it seems that the sky is going to destroy Sui!" ”

"Yes, God really helps me, although the Sui army is extremely elite, but one general is incapable of exhausting the three armies, this is really God helping me!" Zhang Xiu also laughed.

"Yes, God helps the beam!"

Several other members of the Liang General nodded in agreement.
