Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty had a gloomy face, very unsightly, and he couldn't listen to the advice, because he felt that he had only ascended the throne at the age of thirty-five or sixteen, and that he had more than twenty years left in the year of the sixtieth year, and there was no time to finish one of the great undertakings and open another.

Besides, the Great Sui is strong, is it so difficult to build a river and a city, so that a dynasty can be shaken?

Yang Guang doesn't believe it, a country, there are many projects to start, and it is not that all cities are built and rivers are dug in various places, but only an eastern capital Luoyang is built, and a canal is dug out, or to benefit the people, how can there be objections, can't the people understand his good suffering?

Even if the people's power is used, the eastern capital is used by people from the Luoyang area, and the people from Hebei, Shandong, and Jianghuai are used to dig the river, and it is not repeated, what is the difficulty?

Could it be that the rich and powerful Sui can't afford these expenses? Yang Guang snorted coldly in his heart, taxes and treasury storage, he knew in his heart that using these two items would not shake the national capital at all, and it was a one-and-done thing, why not get it?

It's not that he doesn't listen to persuasion, but Yang Guang is too confident, these things are by no means decided by being hot-headed, but as early as a few years ago, he discussed with the strategists, analyzed the pros and cons, as well as the degree of difficulty, the benefits to the country, etc., at this time, some people objected, and he would not listen to it at all.

Gao Xi still said something, but was interrupted by Yuanshou and didn't let him continue to speak, which can be regarded as protecting him in disguise.

After Yang Guang made a decision, it was determined, and the court meeting would be announced three days later.

"I haven't decided on the officials who supervised the construction of the Grand Canal, Yang Guozhu, how is your health?" Yang Guang asked coldly.

Yang Su replied: "The recurrence of the stubborn illness when the old minister came in, most of them were the dark diseases of the war back then, and after so many years, it has accumulated to a certain extent, and at this time, it can only be recuperated at home, I am afraid that I can't share any worries for Your Majesty." ”

Luo Zhaoyun moved when he heard this, thinking about the historical record in his heart, it seems that in the second year of the great cause, Yang Su is about to die, and it is June now, and there are only a few months left.

Yang Guang nodded, unable to see whether he was happy or worried, and said: "I will send the imperial doctor to diagnose you when I go back, if it is really a recurrence of the injury, you don't have to go to the court in the future, and you can recuperate at home." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding of the minister!" Yang Su Shane.

However, Yang Guang and Yang Su are no longer as glue-like as they were at the beginning, but are a little estranged and cold.

The reason is not difficult to understand, Yang Su is Shang Shuling, the first official of the Sui Dynasty, and he is still above the prime minister, plus the Yang family is powerful, and the merit is high, even the prince, King Qi and others dare not offend Yang Su when they see him, and they regard themselves as juniors, and many officials continue to visit him, trying to be taken care of and speed up promotion, which is simply a powerful minister.

During this year, many Yushitai handed over the impeachment of Yang Su for accepting bribes and selling officials, which made Emperor Yang of Sui a little annoyed.

Moreover, Yang Guang's confidence is now inflated, and he wants to do great things more and more and become a saint, but as soon as he sees Yang Su, he will think of when he was the king of Jin, in order to compete with the crown prince, he constantly spent a lot of money to win over Yang Su, as well as respect him, rely on him and other past events, which made Yang Guang feel uncomfortable, as if there was a thorn, if he didn't pull it out, he would always be unable to cut off the shadow of the past.

A few months ago, he was in the palace and heard the news that Yang Su had fainted due to illness in the house, and for some reason, he was inexplicably excited.

"Do you think it's more appropriate to be in charge of the Grand Canal?"

Yuwenshu glanced at Pei Shiju, who understood, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, since the minister, General Yuwenshu is the most suitable person, both civil and military, and has a very high prestige." ”

Yu Zhongwen also echoed: "The minister also thinks that General Yuwen is suitable. ”

Su Wei, Guo Yan and others all followed suit, and Yuwenshu also got up and said, "If Your Majesty makes the old minister responsible, I feel that I will not live up to the holy will." ”

Yang Guang's most trusted person is Yuwen Shu, seeing that he is so positive, he laughed and said: "Very good, Yuwen Aiqing, I can be so active in sharing my worries, I will allow it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust." Yu Wenshu was a little excited, after all, digging the canal is a big project, a big project, the oil and water must be big, and it will affect the achievements of future generations, he will be the general manager, and in the future history of Sui, there must be a strong stroke of him, the most important thing is that he can pull his two sons into the experience and contact local officials, which can be regarded as going to the countryside to exercise.

"Luo Cheng, this time, do you still want to get involved?" Emperor Yang of Sui asked the young man sitting in the corner.

Luo Zhaoyun got up and replied: "The minister doesn't plan to participate, but is ready to choose another place to serve the Great Sui!" ”

In fact, Luo Zhaoyun has already thought about it, he will never get involved, although the Grand Canal seems to be a good thing for the future, but Yang Guang is in a hurry, there will be millions of laborers in the future, who will die in the digging of the canal, and the people's resentment is boiling, but all the officials involved, such as Ma Shumou, have a bad reputation and are resented by the people.

Luo Zhaoyun doesn't want his reputation to stink, everyone shouts and beats, such a big project, if in the 21st century, the Three Gorges Xiaolangdi, high-speed railway, etc., it is not a problem, because of mechanized operations, but if in the Sui Dynasty, but to speed up the completion, it will definitely kill many people, the people on both sides of the strait can not bear it, and the resentment will naturally be vented on the officials responsible for digging the canal, as well as the monarch of the imperial court.

In addition, he has a general relationship with Yu Wenshu, and he doesn't get along well with Yu Wenhua and others, so after learning that Yu Wenshu is the general manager, he will not be involved.

Emperor Yang Guanghu of the Sui Dynasty said suspiciously: "Luo Cheng, what do you think, just say it." ”

Luo Zhaoyun explained: "That's the case, the last time the court meeting, the minister heard that the border was restless, and Tuyuhun and Tubo became strong one after another, and repeatedly invaded the border of our Great Sui, causing the people in the border to suffer constantly and were often plundered. Moreover, Tuyuhun occupies the Qinghai Heights, which is an important position on the Silk Road leading to the Western Regions of our Great Sui, if the countries of the Western Regions are allowed to trade with our Great Sui earlier and come to the Central Plains to worship Your Majesty, this threat of Tuyuhun will be swept away. Now the minister is close to the weak crown, eager to go to the frontier again to practice, guard the border city for the Great Sui, so that the thieves who committed the border of my Great Sui can taste the bitter fruit and dare not disturb it, and also make measures for His Majesty to the Western Regions in the future, and go to the layout in advance! ”

After hearing this, Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "Little Luo Cheng, but he is so arrogant, and he knows my intentions very well, Tuyuhun is a nail, I have long taken a fancy to it, but I have not been freeing my hand, or good, I will send you to be a general, first go to the frontier to train, rectify the border guards, and wait for two or three years, I will open the canal, stabilize the south of the Yangtze River, and I will raise the whip to the north and gallop the desert and the Western Regions."
