On the other hand, the early death of Yang Zhao, the crown prince of Yuande, brought unnecessary trouble to the succession to the throne. Since he has decided to reuse his second son, in the future heir selection, Yang Yong, the king of Qi, will also be one of the candidates.

Although according to the ancient rites, the patriarchal system clearly stipulates that there is a grandson and no grandson, and the eldest grandson is the first heir if the eldest son dies early, but the reality is different. He will turn fifty years old this year, and the days to come can be said to be one day less than one day, and Da Sui is in such a stormy moment, there will be many problems in the follow-up for the choice of heir, but it is not entirely within his control, and the early establishment of the prince is not in line with the truth.

Since Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, has re-emerged from the mountain and wants to follow him to fight in all directions, it is inevitable that he will have to make a lot of military exploits, recruit party henchmen, and establish prestige. At that time, whether he wants to or not, Yang Jin will be one of the powerful contenders for the throne.

If you unfortunately collapse in the process of regaining the rivers and mountains and rebuilding the Great Sui, it will lead to a series of problems and contradictions. In such a situation, Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, is likely to be put on the throne by civil and military, and this will also be the most correct choice for the situation at that time.

Among the four candidates Yang Xuan, Yang Qi, Yang Tong, and Yang Yu, except for Yang Yun, who stayed behind in Daxing, has been controlled by Li Yuan and is like a puppet, Yang Qi is the only one among the other three who does not have his own power. The competition for the crown prince is not entirely based on the emperor's preferences, especially in today's world of great contention, which fully gives them room to play.

After Yang Qi confirmed that Yang Jian followed Wang Shi's Northern Expedition, he took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in Jiangdu, and he had to praise his wit. Because Yang Qi has accurately foreseen that the future position of the crown prince is likely to be determined by the forces he controls. Moreover, Yang Qi has learned Confucianism since he was a child, and he is not good at martial arts.

Therefore, he took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in Jiangdu, although he had the original intention of serving the Great Sui, but he must also establish his own power and add weight to the plan when he competed for the crown prince in the future.

Since ancient times, it has been ruthless, no more than the emperor's family.

Yang Guang can foresee that in the future, around the position of the crown prince, Yang Xuan, Yang Qi, Yang Tong, and even the youngest son Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, will start a desperate contest between them, and the ministers of the court and even the harem may participate voluntarily or involuntarily, forming factions and interests.

At that time, the cruelty of the dragons will probably not be inferior to that of the unification war. This is a struggle for power from within the royal family, and as long as it is a hidden dragon participating in this competition, the ending may not be too good. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and even if the Dragon Emperor who wins out does not retaliate against the hidden dragon competing with him for food, he will crush it into a snake.

However, Yang Guang does not intend to prevent this from happening. is not only his direct descendants, even if he is a royal family member within the five suits, as long as he has ideas and ability, he will give him the corresponding platform to play. Yang Guang wants to use this means and use Yang Yong's example to stimulate the desire of the royal children, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the royal nephews, and let them all work for the Great Sui.

Such a means, although it may be more realistic and cruel. But since as a royal family, he has enjoyed the treatment and benefits that ordinary people can't get, so he naturally has to have the consciousness of the royal family. The competition methods of the dragons to win the heirs may be cruel, but only through such cruel competition can the most capable, capable and excellent people get the throne of the emperor, so as to ensure the quality of the heirs and be conducive to the long-term development of the royal family and the country.

If we blindly follow the patriarchal system, it will inevitably allow waste to sit on the throne of God, and a simple-minded and well-developed regime will cause many difficulties and contradictions. In this way, it will be a disaster for the royal family, for the community, and for the world!

For example, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty, although he ended the disputes in the world and completed the unification of China, he was confused on the issue of heirs.

The royal family of the Sima family is all over the world, and each holds real power, which can be described as the real China. Although the central army of Luoyang was enough to deal with the rebellion of three or four vassal states at the same time, it could not stand Sima Yan's election of a mentally handicapped emperor according to the patriarchal system, coupled with the chaotic government of Empress Jia Nanfeng, which set off the rebellion of the eight kings and buried the Western Jin Dynasty, which had just opened the dynasty.

In fact, Yang Guang has no way to do this. Now that the world is in turmoil, the powerful factions in various places are either ceding land and standing on their own, or attacking the state and trapping the land, and the territory under the control of the Great Sui Imperial Court is only a handful, and the situation can be described as very complex and difficult. Human energy is limited, and besides, it is impossible for them to cope with all challenges from many sides when they are old.

Therefore, we can only slowly release the children of the royal family and let them grow up in practice until they can take charge of themselves and grasp the real power of one party. At that time, even if he has three longs and two shorts, there will still be someone to inherit the Guozuo of the Great Sui, even if it is a river of blood and a dark fight, the throne will also circulate in the Yang family, and it will not fall into the hands of the opposite sex.

If the general is appointed to stay behind without his children and nephews, after a long time, it is likely to form a trend of not falling behind. At that time, even if the world is finally reunified, it will still be a situation of feudal towns and self-reliance.

At that time, I am afraid that the situation will be like that of the late Tang Dynasty, the feudal towns and the central government may have to fight hard, the people will always be in the flames of war, the country will become torn apart, and the world will never be at peace!

If so, it would be better for the royal family to narrow down the struggle. However, this also has great drawbacks and hidden dangers, not only will it make the royal family fight openly and secretly, which is not conducive to unity, and even make the royal family and nephews put their own interests above the interests of the family and the Great Sui.

Although Yang Guang can vaguely see the loss of his beloved son and grandson in his old age, Yang Guang does not regret his decision.

If fate is destined to be miserable, I am willing to bear all the pain!

This is Yang Guang's state of mind at this time.

However, Yang Guang also has his own abacus in his heart. When fighting the world, it is necessary for all of these royal nephews to have hope and contribute to the greatest effect. As for regaining the rivers and mountains and rebuilding the Great Sui, of course, it is necessary to choose a person with good character and ability to inherit the throne, and even let the "substitute" open the way for the real heir and block all the open guns and arrows for him.

As long as Yang Guang's body fights for energy, at a certain time, he sets things right, and hands over a good, complete, and thriving Great Sui to the real heir, then the Great Sui will be prosperous and the country will be forever.
