Almost as soon as Yang Guang re-entered the palace, a huge convoy filled the entire road at the north gate of the capital, and hundreds of armor soldiers escorted a convoy to drive over, and in the middle of the team was a gorgeous carriage, on which sat a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance and a golden helmet. Above the procession is a banner with a large Chinese character embroidered, surrounded by several four-clawed golden dragons with teeth and claws.

The people who were marching on the road saw this team and hurriedly avoided it, the four-clawed golden dragon, which can only be used by the prince, and those who understood muttered: "The emperor's birthday, the king of Han is also back." ”

Yes, it is indeed the car of Yang Liang, the king of Han, now there are only five princes in the Great Sui, the king of Han and the king of Shu are the brothers of the current emperor, and the other three are the princes, the eldest son Yang Yan is the king of Wei, the second son Yang Ge is the king of Zhao, and the third Yang Yu is the king of Chu, and there are more than a dozen people in the county king, most of whom are cousins of the emperor.

"The King of Han is back, I wonder if the King of Shu will come back?" Someone muttered again.

"The emperor's fiftieth birthday, who can not come back, didn't the king of Wei, the king of Zhao, and the king of Chu all come back a few days ago?" The other hurriedly replied.

"That's not necessarily, isn't the emperor forty years old King Shu just didn't come back, I heard that the King of Shu has become an independent kingdom in Yizhou, there are many trespasses, and the emperor has issued several edicts and has not returned, this King of Shu won't think the opposite, right?"

"Shh The other person was startled, and hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that no one noticed him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and complained: "You are looking for death, and you dare to say this casually." Beware of being heard by the Darkcoat and accusing you of slandering the Prince. ”

After the man finished speaking, he was a little scared, but when he heard his companion say this, he was not convinced: "What slander of the prince, everyone knows that the king of Shu has not returned to Beijing for more than ten years. If there is no objection, it is so, the emperor has endured the love of the king of Shu and brotherhood until now, and now the emperor has passed his fiftieth birthday, if the king of Shu has not entered Beijing. The emperor is bound to take action, and the king of Shu is used to the life of the earth emperor, and he will definitely not give up the power in his hands. You wait and see, the King of Shu will definitely rebel. ”

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, forget it, I won't tell you." The other was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly left.

Naturally, these discussions next to him could not reach the ears of Yang Liang, the king of Han, who was looking at the high city walls of the capital in a distracted manner, and muttered to himself: "The lonely king has finally returned." ”

Yang Liang came from the grassland, all these years. Yang Liang has hardly left the prairie, and now the original East Turkic steppe is becoming more and more important to the Great Sui, not only to provide millions of horses, millions of cattle and sheep to the interior every year, but also the mining of the Tianci Copper Mine, which produces more than 6,000 tons of refined copper every year, and eighty percent of the annual copper consumption of the Great Sui comes from the Tianci Copper Mine, so that after the Tianci Copper Mine, those in the south are of low grade. The small copper mines in the lowland storage areas have all been sealed without exception.

Despite this, Yang Liang did not live comfortably on the grassland, the Eastern Turks no longer existed, and the Western Turks moved thousands of miles in order to avoid the edge of the Great Sui. The entire prairie can be regarded as thousands of miles uninhabited.

This is for Yang Liang, who wants to gallop on the field. It was a torment, and he wanted to leave this hellish place on the prairie all the time. It's just that he even asked the emperor for transfer several times, but the emperor didn't allow it.

Yang Liang is not a stupid person, there is a lesson from Yang Guang's past, how can he not know that his emperor brother has his own precautions, there are copper mines on the grassland, there are horses, these are the wealth of the rich and rival country, there is a strong army, this army has followed Yang Liang for more than ten years to fight in the east and west, and is deeply branded by the king of Han, but unfortunately there is no iron tools, no food needed by soldiers, no cloth, no tea......

Once the court cut off the supply of this army, although the army will not starve to death, it will soon have no weapons for war, no warm clothes, and the Great Sui army, which is accustomed to worry-free logistics, cannot learn that the Turks only drink mare's milk and eat mutton, and it will collapse on its own in a year, Yang Liang has been boiling on the grassland for seven or eight years, the original idea has long been gone, and the army under his command has almost changed, this time back to the capital, he wants to apply to the emperor again, even if it is to make him an ordinary general, Rush to the front line, and no longer want to die on the steppe without enemies.

"Lord, the emperor wants to go inside, you can go in." The abrupt voice of the wheat iron rod interrupted Yang Guang's memories.

Yang Guang sighed, quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, and walked towards the temple door in front of him, his heart couldn't help but feel worried, he seemed to have returned to the scene when he was afraid of his brother's reproach when he made a mistake when he was a child, hey, it would be nice to really go back to his childhood.

Walking into the palace gate, a tall and familiar back came into Yang Guang's eyes, Yang Guang's heart trembled, and he knelt down; "The guilty minister sees the emperor, long live the emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Yang Yong turned around, this is the first time the two brothers have met in more than ten years, seeing Yang Guang's old appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned, Yang Yong's appearance is more similar to Yang Jian, so he is tall, more majestic and not handsome, but Yang Guang is more similar to Dugu's, he was extremely handsome when he was young, but Yang Guang at this time was yellow, thin as skin and bones, on the surface, he was more than twenty years older than Yang Yong.

"Get up." Looking at Yang Guang's appearance on the ground at this time, Yang Yong really couldn't connect with the radiant face of fourteen years ago, and he couldn't help but feel a little wave in his heart.

"Your Majesty." Yang Guang's etiquette is decent.

After all, this was the first time the two had met in more than ten years, and they were relatively speechless for a while, silent for a while, and Yang Yongcai asked: "Over the years, have you hated me?" ”

"The sin has to live to this day, it's all because the emperor is magnanimous, the sinner is not ignorant, how dare he resent the emperor?"

"Don't you dare, or won't?"

"The minister should die, he said the wrong thing, the minister has never hated the emperor."

Seeing Yang Guangcheng kneel down again in fear, Yang Yong couldn't help sighing, when he came to this world, Yang Guang was only eight years old, and he followed behind him like a little tail all day long.

The Son of Heaven is the supreme man in the world, but he is a lonely man, and the taste of this lonely man is not pleasant, because what you have to guard against is not someone else, but the person closest to you, brothers, wives, children......

"Get up, I have imprisoned you for more than ten years, you should hate me, I don't blame you."

Yang Guang didn't know whether the emperor's words were true or false, but he still didn't dare to get up: "The ministers deserve their crimes, and they have reflected day and night over the years, and they never dare to resent the emperor in the slightest." ”

"Reflect day and night, you have been drunk day and night all these years, how can you reflect day and night?"

Yang Yong couldn't help but scold, Yang Guang didn't dare to raise his head, seeing this scene, Yang Yong couldn't help but be calm, and his tone turned warm: "I let you get up and get up, what are you doing on the ground?" ”

The previous sentence is acceptable, and the latter sentence is unconsciously and strictly, having been the emperor for more than ten years, Yang Yong has been accustomed to using a majestic tone, Yang Guang was shocked when he heard it, but he didn't dare to kneel again.

"Can you eat the mango I sent you with an iron rod?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the criminal has already eaten it, this fruit has a strong fragrance, and it is still rare in the world?"

"That's good, Amour, do you want to repeat your freedom, govern a large territory, and eat such rare fruits every day?"

Yang Guang's face turned white at the instigation, thinking that Yang Yong was testing him, so he hurriedly shook his head resolutely: "Go back to the emperor, the minister doesn't want to." ”

"I really don't want to, come over here and see what this is?"

After speaking, he pulled Yang Guang in front of the map he just saw, this is a map of the world, drawn with Yang Yong's previous memory, of course, there are many mistakes, but the direction of several continents will not be bad, seeing this map, Yang Guang was shocked speechless, all along, in his mind, the Great Sui is the center of the world, the territory is thousands of miles, and the rest of the places are just barren land, however, on this map, the territory of the Great Sui is less than one-tenth of it, and it is not in the world

"It's ......"

"Yes, this is a map of the whole world, where we live is a sphere, the Central Plains only occupies a small part of the place, you used to be the emperor, only the Central Plains land, I fancy the whole world, now I am the Great Sui civilization, the military is the crown of the whole world, as long as the Han people do not fight, after all, one day they will set foot on all the places, so that the whole world will become the territory of the Great Sui, if you want the Han people not to fight, first of all, you and my brothers do not fight, my children do not fight, with your sins, it is not too much to give death, I forbid you, I imprisoned you, and eventually released you, on the one hand, because I still miss brotherhood, and on the other hand, I don't want to set a precedent for my children to kill each other. ”

Yang Guang was drenched in a cold sweat when he heard this, but he was a little happy in his heart, although he didn't understand how the world could be a sphere, let alone how his imperial brother got this map, but he just knew that maybe he really had a chance to make a comeback. As for the military strength of the Great Sui and whether civilization is the crown of the world, he is undoubtedly confident.
