Chapter 731: Return to the capital
Hearing this, Yang Su pondered for a while, sighed, and said, "Maybe this fake death is my chance to get out, and if I die, the Yang family will be able to save it." In order to show the people of the world, the emperor will not treat my Yang family lightly in a short period of time. So tell the capital that I was assassinated! ”
……
……
Gao Ying was burned to death, Yang Hao surrendered, and the news of Yang Su's assassination spread to the capital one after another, and Yang Guang was taken aback at the same time, and his heart suddenly burst into joy. He was still having a headache about how to reward Yang Su for his great achievements, and then reduce the authority in Yang Su's hands, but he didn't expect Yang Su to be assassinated in a daze after the rebellion in Bingzhou was pacified. It was an absolute surprise for him.
For this reason, Yang Guang specially drank a few glasses of wine, and he decided not to deal with the government tonight, but to read a book in the Ziwei Hall of the Inner Palace to relax for a while.
Ziwei Hall is the place where Yang Guang deals with government affairs in the inner palace, that is, his inner study, sometimes he will meet ministers here, he wears a light yellow wide-body Zen robe, wears a black gauze square hat, and ties iron ornaments around his waist, sits on the couch and concentrates on reading books, and on the imperial case in front of him, there is a historical record and a Han book.
Yang Guang likes to read history, since he was a child, he has read history books, so that he knows the rise and fall of the dynasty well, the people he admires most in his life are the first emperor of Qin and the Wu Emperor of Han, admired Qin Shi Huang to unify the six countries, with the power of the whole country to build the Great Wall and Qin Zhidao, this kind of handwriting and courage make him fascinated.
And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the territory and expanded the territory, attacked the Xiongnu Dawan, Weijia Hainai, and left a great martial arts in the long river of history, which also made Yang Guang yearn for it, as early as when he was the prince, he was thinking about his future martial arts, and he also wanted to let himself leave a brilliant mark in history.
At this time, Empress Xiao walked into his study with a bowl of ginseng tea: "Your Majesty, it's rare to relax tonight, so let's rest early!" ”
Empress Xiao put the ginseng tea on the table and said with a smile: "Guo Liangdi is eight months pregnant, Your Majesty should go to see her, I hope she will give birth to the emperor's child for Your Majesty." ”
Yang Guang held his wife's white jade hand and smiled, "I hope you will give me a few more dragons." ”
Xiao Huanghou's face turned red, leaned on Yang Guang, and said quietly: "The concubine wants to, but the concubine is already a grandmother, where can she be reborn?" It is better for the concubines to take a few more young concubines for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty will have more heirs. ”
Yang Guang sighed slightly and said: "As the Son of Heaven, I must be praised by future generations like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, I don't want to be too indulged in women, and I don't want to be said by future generations that I am absurd and shameless, my father only respects his mother in his life, so that he can create the Great Sui River, I already have two sons and a daughter, and Guo Liangdi is pregnant in August, and there are many grandchildren, enough, there is no need to take more concubines." ”
Xiao Shi's heart was moved, there is an indescribable happiness, he and Yang Guangcheng have been married for more than 20 years, the relationship between husband and wife has always been kind, two sons and a daughter were born to her, and Yang Yong's henchmen said in front of his father that her husband was promiscuous, and his father refuted him with a word, "If my son is promiscuous, why only have two sons and one daughter, and they are all born to his wife?" The whistleblower was speechless.
But Empress Xiao is still a little worried, after all, her husband is the emperor, and the emperor's thin heirs will make the society unstable, and she can't escape the blame.
"Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can you only have two sons and one daughter, King Fangling also has ten sons and four daughters, Your Majesty's heirs are thin, and your concubines have had!"
King Fangling is the former prince Yang Yong, mentioning him, Yang Guang felt a little uncomfortable, so he said lightly: "King Fangling is too feminine, indulged in lust, he was a prince at the beginning, debauched and unrestrained, such a person can't support the Great Sui Dynasty." ”
Empress Xiao didn't care too much about Yang Yong, it had nothing to do with her, she was more concerned about her two sons, she came to see her husband today, and while persuading him to take a concubine, she also wanted to talk to her husband about the prince of Lidong Palace.
One of the two sons is to be made the crown prince, from her original intention, it should be the eldest son Yang Zhao as the heir, but Yang Zhao is too obese, sickly, not longevity, and the second son Yang Yun is handsome and handsome, looks quite like his father, and it may be a good choice to make him his heir, both are her sons, no matter who is the East Palace, she supports it, and more importantly, she saw her husband working day and night on state affairs, Zhao'er's body, can he bear it?
"Your Majesty, who to appoint as the crown prince of the East Palace, how do you think about it?"
Yang Guang knows what Empress Xiao means, in fact, he has been hesitant about this matter, as the emperor, the eldest son does not have the appearance of dragon and martial arts, his appearance is not good, and his body is difficult to cope with heavy state affairs, which is also something that Yang Guang is very worried about, although Yang Guang himself also wants to set up the second son Yang Jun as the prince, but it does not mean that he himself does not pay attention to the eldest son, he attaches great importance to the eldest son, if the eldest son has a better appearance and a better body, he will never consider the second son, and the eldest son's character is better than the second son, although Yang Yun is handsome and martial, but he has a bad character, How could Yang Guang not know.
Yang Guang sighed, "Let's put it in advance of Lidong Palace!" I'd like to see it again. ”
……
……
Wang Junlin did not tell Wang Long and Yu Wenhua the truth that Yang Su was not dead, but left Taiyuan City before Yang Su's army sealed Taiyuan City as soon as possible.
With him left Taiyuan and went to the capital, in addition to Shen Guang, Shan Xiongxin, Spring and Autumn Old Slave and other people who originally followed him to Bingzhou, there were also Luo Ghost Hands family of three and Xiao Feng'er, Zheng Shengqiu and other Nanhua Association Some masters in Bingzhou, Gao Ying When he killed Xiao Maha, most of the forces of Nanhua Society in Bingzhou were destroyed, and the remaining number was not much, but they were all masters, and the worst ones had the strength of the foundation building period, and they were all gathered together by Xiao Feng'er and Zheng Shengqiu these days, and they would defect to Chen Danying, the saint of Nanhua Society in the capital.
In addition, Wang Junlin sent a message to Luo Yi, asking him to continue to hide in the valley, and wait for the army brought by Yang Su to retreat, and then return to Hedong County, in case he was besieged and killed by Yang Su's generals. At that time, Wang Junlin will ask Luo Yi for credit, and recommend Luo Yi to Yang Guang to serve as the general of the state of Bingzhou.
……
……
"Finally back to Daxing City!"
Wang Junlin hurriedly stared over, but saw the outline of a city wall looming in the afterglow of the setting sun on the distant plain ahead, like a long black dragon swimming in the twilight.
Wang Junlin knew that Daxing City was the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty in the original history, but it was not the Chang'an City of the original Han Dynasty (Note).
Note: After Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he was initially set in Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty. However, at that time, Chang'an was dilapidated and narrow, and the water pollution was serious, so it was decided to build another new city on the southern slope of Longshouyuan in the southeast. From the second year of the opening of Emperor Gaozu of Sui (582), under the auspices of Yu Wenkai, the palace and the imperial city were built in only about 9 months. Yu Wenkai, the chief designer of Sui Daxing, carefully designed Daxing City. In the second year of Kaihuang (582 AD), the construction of Daxing Palace opened the prelude to the construction of Daxing City, and in the ninth year of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty (613 AD), part of the city wall of Waiguo City was built. In the third year of the emperor's reign (583), the Sui Dynasty moved to the new capital, because Emperor Wen of Sui had been named the Duke of Daxing [1] in his early years, so he named the city after "Daxing". After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he successively dug the North-South Grand Canal to connect Daxing City by waterway. In the ninth year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty (613), more than 100,000 people were mobilized to build Waiguo City outside the palace city and the imperial city, and the overall pattern of the city was basically formed. The Tang Dynasty continued to make its capital here and renamed it Chang'an.
