Chapter 256: Aftermath
The prince of the Great Sui returned to the west, close to the time recorded in history, and the symptoms were similar, so that many historical experts in later generations analyzed that Yang Zhao died of common diseases such as coronary heart disease or high blood pressure, because the almanac records did not find any external injuries on his body, and it was not like he had been attacked by assassins.

Even Emperor Yang of Sui was furious when he learned the news, the prince is the prince of a country, his untimely death, to a certain extent, affected the fortunes of the country, there will be chaos in the country, since ancient times, it represents the future trend, may be beyond the control of the king, unexpected.
However, when the prince's corpse was sent to Luoyang, the eastern capital, Yang Guang sent the imperial doctor, Yu Chengdu, etc., to check the body of the prince Yang Zhao, and found no injuries, nor any internal injuries, and died of sudden cerebrovascular death, which is one of the ancient diseases.
Although Yang Guang was indignant, he also knew that his eldest son, who was fat and sickly, and it was common sense to have this stubborn disease.
Empress Xiao and Princess Ruyi were very sad and mourned this filial and benevolent relative.
In the court, some ministers expressed their condolences and regrets for the death of the crown prince Yang Zhao, and some had a good personal relationship with him, such as Niu Hong, Pei Shiju, Wei Wensheng and other ministers, who felt that the prince was benevolent, thrifty, and had the advantages of a wise monarch.
Li Yuan also cried loudly in the court, after all, this is his cousin, Yang Zhao still values and respects Li Yuan. At this time, Li Yuan lacked strong supporters of the royal family, and he felt that his career was even bleaker, and he didn't know when he would be reused, at least Yang Guang and Yang Yong generally had an attitude and appreciation for him.
Yang Zhao had four concubines, one of which was Cui's, she was the daughter of Cui Hongsheng, the younger brother of Cui Hongdu, the head of the march, and the princess of Yang Zhao when he was the king of Henan, who was later deposed for her father's crimes; At present, the princess of the palace is Wei Shi, the daughter of Wei Shou, the son of the general Wei Xiao Kuanzi and Wei Shou. The other two concubines are a pair of Liu sisters.
Wei's and Liu's sisters gave birth to three sons for Yang Zhao, namely Yang Yu, Yang Qi, and Yang Tong, the oldest was only three years old, and the youngest was just a full moon.
Among them, although Yang Yu is the youngest of the three children, he was born not long ago, but his mother is the princess of the main family, so he belongs to the real grandson, according to the old feudal system, the grandson is not the heir, the chief is not the virtuous, the title of Yang Yu is the acting king, in fact, there is a substitute.
However, because he was just two months old, he has no prestige, and he doesn't know whether he will become a talent in the future, whether he will die young, and there are too many variables, so the ministers are not optimistic about Yang Zhao's vein, but focus on Yang Yin's body.
Qi Wangfu, within a month, has come to many ministers to visit, compliments, praise horses, all feel that Yang Yong was canonized as the prince, it will be sooner or later.
Yang Jun had been worried about his brother before the accident, after all, he was worried about the cooperation with the man in black, and the other party did not reveal his identity and origin, but only said that he was from the ancient martial arts sect, seeking cooperation and getting rid of the prince for him, and he could leave no traces, which really made him moved.
The man in black did not say what he was trying to do, what benefits he wanted, only said that when the time came in the future, he would naturally come back to him, and then there was no news.
Now within a month of the prince's return to the west, Yang Jun has accepted this fact and is ready to become the crown prince of the Great Sui with peace of mind.
Pei Yun, Yu Wenhua, Dugu Feng, Dugu Yu and others gathered around Yang Yun, and the relationship became closer and closer, and his arrogant and dissolute character became more prominent.
In the land of the border stop, the north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August.
Just after the eighth month of the lunar calendar, in the Qinghai Plateau, there is snow, it is really a bitter cold place, and the summer is very short.
Luo Zhaoyun stood at the head of Linqiang City, looking at the direction of Luoyang, holding a letter in his hand, which contained the news of the prince's death. He couldn't help but sigh, what should come is going to come eventually, and history is still moving forward.
"Maybe it's not enough to change the degree of my efforts, so the butterfly effect, the impact is limited, this time, I want to make a big move, train troops in the northwest, build a Luo family army, he will be broken in the Central Plains, Jin Ge Iron Horse, that is, when I wave my army south to sweep the princes!"
Luo Zhaoyun is full of pride in his heart, more and more courageous and wise, after training, he is growing, his mind is also maturing, and his vision and goals have naturally changed.
This determination was also a turning point in his future destiny.
Time flies, cold comes and goes, and more than ten months have passed, and it has been more than a year since Luo Zhaoyun came to the frontier.
He is now eighteen years old, burly, tall and heroic, and he is considered an adult. During the one-year tempering in the border fortress, the commander of the army became more comfortable and the military discipline was strict.
It fought more than 20 small battles with Tuyuhun and Tubo, most of which were frictions and conflicts, and eighty or ninety percent of them were victories, which greatly boosted the morale of the border troops.
In particular, the training of Hou Junji and others, starting from scratch, has advanced by leaps and bounds, and they have all been promoted to Chengdu lieutenants.
This is the third year of the great cause, and the imperial court has a new system, which restores the county system used by Emperor Wen of Sui before; At the same time, the hussar house was changed to the Eagle Yang Mansion, and the hussar and chariot cavalry generals were changed to the Eagle Yang Lang generals and the Eagle Yang deputy generals, who were subordinate to the guards and commanded the government soldiers; In addition, the titles of local generals and governors were abolished, and generals and generals were set up only when they went out to fight.
Luo Zhaoyun's official position is above the general of Yingyanglang, which is equivalent to the head of Pingxi and Douhe counties, and he was canonized as the general of Zhenxi!
Linqiang City was expanded to the outer city, increased the number of troops to 60,000, plus the soldiers and horses of Douhe County, he was able to gather 100,000 troops at the border pass, and the cavalry reached 20,000.
On this day, outside Linqiang City, two horsemen came and approached Xiongguan.
The guards of the garrison outside the city interrogated the two men, a man and a woman, and the majestic man claimed to be a friend of General Luo Cheng, and dragged the guards to bring the letter into the city.
When Luo Zhaoyun received the letter, he was overjoyed, it turned out that his brother Li Jing, who had been absent for many years, had arrived, and there was a red whisk girl with him. (To be continued.) )
