In the summer of the sixth year of the emperor's reign, a palace man ran to Yang Hao in a panic.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Tang Guohou went. ”

When Yang Hao heard this, he was suddenly struck by lightning, the pen in his hand fell, and the white ink paper was stained.

"What do you say... Qu is dead? ”

Yang Hao lifted the palace man up and shouted.

"Your Majesty... An hour ago, Tang Guohou suddenly fainted at home, and the doctor had tried his best to treat him, but... ”

Yang Hao put down the palace people and stood in the hall as if he had lost his soul.

"Prepare the car!"

"No!"

The palace people hurriedly retreated.

After the palace people left, Yang Hao cried bitterly.

In the past few decades, there are still a few brothers left who fought the world with him.

When he came to this world, the first person he knew was Qu, for more than 30 years, Qu was like his brother, how not to make him heartache when he left.

The old ministers who once followed him left him one by one, even Yang Hao, who was used to seeing life and death, could not bear it.

wiped away his tears, took the car, got rid of all the complicated etiquette, and rushed to the Tang State Houfu as fast as possible.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

The ministers who got the news rushed here as quickly as possible, and when they saw Yang Hao coming, they all paid their respects.

"Drain... Where is it? ”

"Back to Your Majesty! Father! My father's body is in the main hall! ”

Qu's eldest son choked up.

Yang Hao's footsteps staggered a little, and with the support of the palace people, he slowly walked towards the main hall of the Houfu.

At this time, the waiting house was hung with white cloth, and everyone in the palace wore linen and filial piety, kneeling in the main hall.

Yang Hao looked at the canal lying flat on the delicate wooden bed as if he was asleep, and couldn't help but leave two lines of tears.

"Why did you just leave? Why did you leave? ”

"Your Majesty, take care of your body, in case you hurt your body, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Qu to walk with peace of mind!"

Liyang, who was already a little old, comforted in a hoarse voice, but no one could hear his voice, and he had been crying for a long time.

Yang Hao looked at Qu who looked serene on the bed, and muttered: "You and my brother have known each other for more than 30 years, and the original promise has been fulfilled, brother, go all the way, and in the future, you and my brother will get together again in the underworld."

Daqi will be handed over to us, go with peace of mind, brother, go with peace of mind.

。。。。。。

”

Yang Hao said a lot of words like an old man in this mourning hall, and the ministers knelt down silently, and a sad mood lingered on this large waiting house.

After the first seven, Yang Hao personally attended the funeral of the canal, posthumously named him the Duke of Tang Guo, and named his eldest son as Tang Guobo, and the tomb was built according to the Duke's standard.

The duke can be said to be a title above ten thousand people under one person, although it is not as good as the king, but its real power is not weaker than the king.

Even when Qu was alive, his identity was only a marquis, but even those princes, Yang Zhi, the crown prince, didn't need to be respectful at all.

Even if Yang Zhi, the crown prince, speaks disrespectfully in front of him, he has the right to teach a lesson.

Up and down the Qi country, no one dares to underestimate this title.

In the palace hall, Yang Hao looked at the empty palace and felt inexplicably lost in his heart.

I have reached the pinnacle of power, but I know better than anyone what it is like to be alone.

"Grandpa Huang! Grandpa! ”

An immature voice came, Yang Hao came back to his senses and looked at it, only to see a small figure running towards him.

"Oh! It's Jia'er! ”

Looking at this little girl with pink carving jade, Yang Hao showed a relieved smile.

Perhaps only in such ignorant children can we find a trace of ordinary people's affection.

The girl is Yang Zhi's daughter, named Yang Mujia, the little girl is very sensible, and Yang Hao has always been very fond of her.

Yang Hao touched Xiao Mujia's hair and said, "Did your father ask you to come over?" ”

Yang Mujia nodded and said, "Daddy said that the imperial grandfather was sad, let Jia'er come over to accompany the imperial grandfather." ”

Yang Hao smiled and looked at his granddaughter lovingly.

Outside the door, Pu Jia said leisurely: "Your Majesty has always loved Jia'er, I hope to make Your Majesty's mood better." ”

Yang Hao saluted and said: "Erchen can only think of this way, my father's body is related to my great Qi national fortune, and Erchen really can't bear to watch his father depressed." ”

Pu Jia said: "You have a heart." ”

As they spoke, the two sighed.

After a long time, Yang Mujia walked out and said in a milky voice: "Daddy, the imperial grandfather called you over." ”

Yang Zhi helped the hair crown, pushed open the door and walked in.

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!"

"Hmmm! Come and sit! ”

"Thank you, Father!"

Yang Zhi sat down and said, "My father has not been to the early court for several days, and the courtiers are very worried. ”

Yang Hao said: "I'm fine, there are some big things happening in the past few days." ”

Yang Zhidao: "Everything is normal, the mausoleum of Tang Guogong has begun to be built, and my father is at ease." ”

"Well, alas! There will always be birth, old age, sickness and death, and the father should think that there will be this day. ”

When Yang Zhi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Father is in the prime of life, so you can't do this." ”

"Everyone in the world says, long live my emperor, but the emperor is also a human being, and people will always die one day.

If one day, if I die, this great qi will be handed over to you.

”

Yang Zhi was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, knelt on the ground and said, "Erchen doesn't dare!" ”

Yang Hao looked at him deeply and said, "Hmm! Get up! ”

Yang Zhi swallowed and spit, and got up in panic: "Father Xie." ”

"Okay, I haven't seen you for many days, and my father hasn't taken the school exam for a long time, so I happen to have free today, you and my father and son just have a chat."

Yang Zhidao: "The father asked, and the son must know everything. ”

"Now that my trade is prosperous, there are many Jia people, and some rich families have a lot of property, if one day, these Jia people not only want money, but also want power, what should I do then?"

Yang Zhidao: "I have four people in Daqi, the scholars, peasants, workers and Jia have their own positions, and the court has not divided them into noble and low, but the Jia people and the scholars are in charge of money and politics.

If these two are combined, most of the power of the state will be in control, and in the long run the workers and peasants will have no way to come out, and the country will be restless.

Jia people are profitable, if they participate in political affairs, it is inevitable that they will give birth to the heart of confusing the country, if there is such a sign, they will be severely punished.

If there is any collusion between officials and officials, they will be greedy and should be killed.

Only strict laws can put an end to this.

”

Yang Hao said: "Well, now that my Great Qi territory has reached the land of the Western Regions, Rome in the Far West is a force to be reckoned with.

In the past, I had never encountered an enemy of the same strength, and in the future, there would be a conflict with Rome, and what my father was most worried about was that those merchants would betray the court for their own interests.

You have to remember that businessmen can be used, not trusted, the meaning of their existence is to communicate with each other in the people, remember, no matter how big a wealthy businessman, there is a hint of a threat to the country, we must get rid of it, we must not let them hold each other, my son must remember the words of the father.
