The Yangzhou Governor's Mansion has been changed to the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, Xiao Zheng looked at the few old men brought by Zheng Xuanli and was a little dazed.

Although the old men were dressed as cloth farmers, their demeanor was not a little childish, and when they saw Xiao Zheng's manners, they were almost impeccable.

Zheng Xuanli said with some pride: "Some of these old people are ceremonial officials of the previous dynasty, and some have taught in Guozijian. The leader is called Wu Yunshou, who is the younger brother of Wu Yunzhao, a famous general of the former dynasty, and his father is Wu Jianzhang, the right servant of the former dynasty. and this Gao Shuang, the nephew of the famous general Gao Gong of the former dynasty."

No wonder, the daring love is still Kochi.

"A few old people, presumably the kid's thoughts, Brother Zheng also told you the elders, and the kid is no longer polite, what questions do you have?" Xiao Zheng deliberately avoided his official position and started a family routine with a few people.

Several old people saw that Xiao Zheng was so sensible despite his young and high position, and they also showed gratitude.

Wu Yunshou arched his hand and said to Xiao Zheng: "Great, you really have to let the villain live on the island and admit our existence?" ”

"That's natural, if you are willing, I can give you a household registration today, I forgot to tell you a few old people, and I am also a waiter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs" Xiao Zheng responded without the slightest hesitation.

"Then our taxes and labor are also exempted," Wu Yunshou asked again.

"The younger generation can assure you old gentlemen that as long as you are willing to submit to the court and no longer confront the court, you will not be guilty of the past. All taxes and servitude shall be exempted within five years, and I will be able to make a public announcement to the rulers of Yangzhou."

"It's late today, I can be out of the list tomorrow, you are also knowledgeable people, and the content of the list can be determined by your position before it comes out," Xiao Zheng replied

As soon as the words came out, several people, including Zheng Xuanli, stood up in unison and said to Xiao Zheng Shili: "Don't worry, my lord, as long as your list comes out, we will immediately return to obedience, and we will never have two hearts."

Seeing Xiao Zheng doing things like this, several old men looked at each other excitedly, only to see Gao Shuang tentatively ask Xiao Zheng and said, "My lord, you also know that we are officials of the previous dynasty, and we are all benevolent by Sui. Now Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty has already made a big move, and when the world was in turmoil, the Emperor of Sui was killed by Yuwen's rebellion, but he was hastily buried under the Liuzhu Hall of the Jiangdu Palace, and I wanted to raise the money to let Yang Guang be buried again, but I don't know ........"

"The old man is loyal, although he is a Tang official, but several old people do not forget the old kindness to the Lord, and the younger generation admires it, but can you think about it below."

It was only in the Tang Dynasty that Xiao Zheng realized more and more that Yang Guang was actually a capable person, and he was very suitable for consolidating the great cause created by his father.

But his evaluation in history is very bad, the ancient "Fa" once said, "Good internal and far-reaching courtesy, go to the far public to say Yang, go against the sky and abuse the people to say Yang, so great and ruined the government is said to be Yang, indifferent and unrighteous is said to be Yang, and it is said to be Yang from the country of desolation."

In short, it was the emperor who was so bad that he died and gave this word back.

This guy reigned for fifteen years in his life and did a lot of great things, two of which were particularly dazzling, that is, the imperial examination and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which have influenced later generations.

He enshrined the imperial examination system, established the Jinshi department, restored the Guozijian, Taixue, and prefecture and county schools, cut the power of the Gaomen scholars, promoted civilian talents, and built the eastern capital Luoyang, so that the political center of gravity was out of the control of the clan group.

As a military strategist, Yang Guang sent troops to successively conquer and destroy Jiaozhi, Linyi, Khitan, Ryukyu, and Yiwu countries, and personally led the army to the plateau thousands of meters above sea level, conquered Tuyuhun, conquered half of the Western Regions and the entire Qinghai, and the Han nation included the Qinghai Plateau into the territory for the first time. Only his tactical command ability is his relatively worst link, which reminds Xiao Zheng of Jiang Guangtou's layman command in later generations.

As a writer and poet, his existing dozens of poems are beautiful and magnificent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a prelude to Tang poetry, and it can completely compete with the "Three Caos" in terms of status.

What Qin Shi Huang did, Yang Guang almost finished, but he did not burn books and pit Confucianism, and what Yang Guang did, Xiao Zheng, the top boss, will do it in the future.

So, why is Ying Zheng and Li Shimin the first emperor of the ages, and Yang Guang can only be left behind for 10,000 years?

Because he is too anxious for quick success and quick profit, he wants to do it in one go, it is this kind of all-round talent, he can't see anyone, plus he is so arrogant that he treats the people as dogs, and he also offends most of the clans in the world at that time. Not counting the death of the country, he has made himself stink for 10,000 years, this guy is a typical step that is too big, and others can't keep up with his pace, and he even pulls the egg in the crotch.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Zheng said to a few people: "I'll accompany a few people tomorrow."

The next day, he took Zheng Xuanli and a few people to the ditch.

Hangou south from the Yangtze River south of Yangzhou, north to the Huai River north of Huai'an, is the canal connecting the Yangtze River and the Huai River, followed everyone to the head of the canal, see the river boats flowing endlessly. When he arrived at an open field surrounded by a hill, Xiao Zheng looked at the barren grass, and the grass more than half a person high showed some ruins of the palace from time to time, which seemed to be a large-scale palace back then.

As soon as they arrived at this place, several old people began to look excited, Zheng Xuanli pulled the thatch in front of him to lead the way, walked for half a pillar of incense, and arrived at an open place, it seems that there should be a pool in front of him, and the wall of the pool carved out of stone is still clearly visible, but the pool has already been covered with miscellaneous soil, and there are some sheep dung in it.

Zheng Xuanli looked around, found a stone beast with a broken head, and walked straight forward more than ten steps in the direction of the stone beast and said: "Several, this is it, the first emperor was killed by Yu Wenhua back then, and it was here that the remains of the first emperor were buried."

"Commander Zheng, are you really sure?" A few old men asked in a trembling voice.

"That's right, the villain vouches for it with his head".

Zheng Xuanli helped a few old people to incinerate the incense, candles, and paper money they brought over and cried, Wu Yunshou and Gao Shuang cried while crying: "First Emperor, I waited for a few people to come to see you, what a powerful world you have been for a long time, but now you are buried in the wilderness, your spirit in the sky will look at me ......and wait."

Seeing that the famous emperor in history ended up like this, Xiao Zheng was also full of emotion in his heart.

After a few people finished worshipping, Zheng Xuanli and a few old men began to dig down with hoes, and they dug two or three feet deep, revealing purple cloth in the soil.

"This is the dragon robe of the first emperor, the villain remembers" Zheng Xuanli cried as he accelerated the speed of excavation.

A few people dug for a long time, only to see a complete skeleton exposed, Wu Yun cried and shouted: "Emperor Xian, the minister will immediately invite you to enter the ground for peace."

Several old men carefully picked up the skeletons, wrapped them in yellow silk cloth, and put them in a wooden box that had been brought with them.

Zheng Xuanli helped Wu Yunzhi to come over, and a few people knelt down and kowtowed a few times without worrying about Xiao Zheng's obstruction, and said: "My lord, you have agreed to all the conditions put forward by the villain, and the villain will go back immediately today and let all the residents of the island follow your orders, and swear in front of the heroic spirit of the first emperor, I will have no second thoughts about the Tang Dynasty in the future, otherwise I will wait for the heavens and the earth to be destroyed!" ”

After speaking, Zheng Xuanli picked up the box and walked out.

"Everyone, wait a minute!" Xiao Zheng suddenly stopped Zheng Xuanli and a few people and said.
