On July 13, the Great Sui began to change the sky, which is about the death of Emperor Yang Jian in the Great Treasure Hall of Renshou Palace, and it also talks about the weather at that time.

As if God was weeping over Yang Jian's departure, the Gyeonggi region began to experience a once-in-a-century heavy rainstorm from the evening of that day. -- Of course, this is the unanimous official statement, and the mouthpieces are especially fond of using words like "once in a century" to lament the difficulties of the world, and the royal road is not easy.

For example, in the case of a once-in-a-century natural disaster, the fact is that the weather in the past three years has not been abnormal at all compared with previous years, and the only thing that is abnormal is that the crops in the land have indeed failed, and the people have indeed suffered a once-in-a-century famine. - This ...... Maybe it's the history in the books, and of course it's the history in the minds of the historians who write history, just like Zhao Dun killed the master, just like Cui Shu killed Qi Jinggong, people can only know the qualitative and result of things from a few words, but they can't know the truth of the facts and the original ins and outs of history.

It wasn't until July 21, when Yang Guang officially inherited the emperor's throne and officially mourned his father, who had been dead for eight days, that the heavy rain slowly stopped in the various reactions of everyone.

It's more of the icing on the cake, Taishi Ling Yuan Chong once again made a deafening remark: "The emperor ascended the throne and was appointed by Yao. Yuan Chong didn't think it was enough to shoot the horse himself, and also signaled other tail wagging systems to follow up quickly, as for Xu Shanxin and others who first proposed to fight the flood and provide disaster relief, none of them ended well.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, the first thing to do was, of course, to change the defense of the capital, and to sweep away a voice that was out of tune, and to pursue complete unification ideologically. So, Yang Yue came, as Yang Su's younger brother and think tank, he appeared in the garrison of the capital for the first time, and led the main generals to complete the oath of allegiance to the new emperor Yang Guang. -- This is also a tradition.

"The people's army must always be loyal to the emperor, not to the people." Only in this way can the emperor confidently and boldly use them to rule and enslave the people.

Some people are happy and some are worried, in the struggle to purge political opponents, Yang Guang's butcher's knife was the first to swing at his compatriot brother Yang Yong. After this "brother who kills monkeys and chickens" and "settles accounts", the ministers quickly joined the tail wagging system and "voted for the new emperor" one after another, and when the people struggled in the flood and cried and prayed to the sky, they expressed how beautiful the new dynasty was.

However, in the midst of such jubilation, there are also people who are troublesome and still old fellows.

Xue Daoheng went through the Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, and Sui dynasties, and was famous for a while, along with Li Delin and Lu Sidao, and was the leader of the literary world at that time and the master of poetry and literature. Born in Shandong, but admired the beauty of the poetry of the Southern Dynasty, he wrote the scenery of the northern country with the rhetoric of the Southern Dynasty, forming a robust and fresh style, "the antelope hangs its horns, and there is no trace to be found". At that time, although Xue Daoheng's article was not "Luoyang paper expensive", it was also unsurpassed. Jiangdong Ya is a good article, Lord Chen still loves carving insects, every time Dao Heng does something, the southerners all chant it.

However, talent brought him not only a reputation all over the world, but also the loyalty and uprightness of the ancient scholars, in other words, "being a pedantic". Emperor Wen of Sui has repeatedly "admonished him to be pedantic", but he just won't change.

During the Kaihuang period, Xue Daoheng was exiled to Jiangnan on the way, the literary and artistic young Yang Guang admired his literary talents and wanted to accept him, so he passed the book to Xue and asked him to pass through Yangzhou, and then played the emperor to stay in Yangzhou. But our old Comrade Xue didn't appreciate it, and even saved a letter of thanks, and went to Jiangling, in fact, the two didn't even meet at this time, and I don't know if it was because they were enemies in their previous lives. Although Brother Ah Guang hit a nail, he was not discouraged, he always believed that his sincerity would impress Teacher Xue. It's just that Comrade Yang Guang's self-confidence is always incompatible with the world, he overestimated his tolerance, and also lowered Lao Xue's stubbornness.

Until Yang Guang inherited the throne, he immediately remembered Xue Daoheng and promoted him to the history of Fanzhou. However, Xue Daoheng replied with two letters—one was a resignation, and the other was written "Ode to Emperor Gaozuwen", in which he dedicated all his words of gratitude to the old emperor who had died, and did not say a word about the new emperor who was desperately courting him in front of him. It is conceivable that Comrade Yang Guang was angry after seeing this article, and said to Su Wei, "Xue Daoheng praised the ancestors very much, which has the meaning of "Fish Algae". ”

At this time, Yang Guang hated Xue Daoheng very much, but he could only endure it, so he worshiped as the doctor of Si Li, which was regarded as a post-effect. Si Li's assassin Shi Fang Yanqian has always been good friends with Xue Daoheng, and his son Fang Xuanling is from his disciple, at this time, seeing his friend walking on thin ice, he can only persuade him to "put an end to guests, humble resignation", and be a man with his tail between his legs, but we can imagine the stubbornness of the former.

When Su You heard about the dynamics of the court, he couldn't help but worry about Lao Xue, and he could only think, "I hope he can have a good baby in his next life." ”

Because of the invasion of heavy rain, Su You can only nest at home recently, the sewer system in the capital is really unbearable, the clover under his feet is not King Adi after all, and walking in the rain can only be a fantasy.

The rainy day was boring, first invented the abacus, and began to teach Xiao Jiu and Qing Jing to memorize multiplication formulas and abacus, watching the two of them learn without sleep and food, Su You was relieved and couldn't help but think of himself when he was a child, naturally, the last thoughts all pointed to Yunfan, if this accident did not happen, the child should be able to enter the school to study.

The rain kept falling, and Su You frowned.

After all, the ancients were short-sighted, they only built cities for decades, and when the outside of the city was full of garbage, and when the sewers were clogged with debris and the city could not be inhabited, the rulers would build new cities, and then carry out the great migration of the whole people...... Therefore, every time Su You walked out of the yard and saw the streets full of garbage, he was always inexplicably melancholy, but fortunately, the leaders who lived in the northern highlands did not have to worry about being flooded, - in general, the people in the capital were just inconvenient to travel, and the talents in other areas outside the capital were the biggest victims, and it was said that the mudslide had swallowed up hundreds of lives.

"Hengbo, how can you be interested in coming out to see the rain?" Yang Er's body is no longer the coarse cloth clothes he had when he entered the city, it seems that the court has changed the emperor, and the prince has also changed his new clothes. Food, clothing, and delicacies, these are the normal life needs of the magnates; As a royal child, instead of wearing coarse cloth clothes, he had to put a few patches on his new clothes, and a pair of foot clothes had to be torn and mended for three years and then three years, but he fell into the inferior realm of hypocrites.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness is an additional official." Looking at Yang Er, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the attendants behind him were several times more than usual, Su You hurriedly bent down to salute.

"Okay, let's go into the house, this rain ...... It looks like it won't be able to stop for a while. Yang Er waved his hand and raised his foot to enter the door first.

"Why doesn't Your Highness go to the outskirts of Beijing to have a look and appease the victims everywhere?"

"This matter is not proper, flood relief is the emperor's business. If others want to do it, it is an act to collect the hearts of the people, and there is a crime of trespassing. When Yang Er heard Su You ask, he glanced at him as if he was looking at a fool, and finally nodded and explained.

When Yang Er said this, Su You was stunned, no wonder people who do charity have always only targeted the minority, but if they encounter natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, if the people of Shengdou want to experience the scene in person, it is really difficult. Su You thought about an earthquake relief in college, and as a volunteer, Su You was stopped on the way to the disaster area and was told that "you can leave the relief materials behind, there are enough professionals in us." ”

If you want to save but can't, the voice heard at the scene is that there are enough professionals inside, but there is a shortage of people and money and materials on the Internet, and what's more, those caring people who are full of pride to disaster relief are attacked everywhere by some people with ulterior motives, called "people who add blockage".

-- This is how the rumors came about, and it was officially determined that they had caused trouble, which was caused by the wind at the end of Qingping, and then the unloving people wanted to destroy the determination of the loving ones because of their inferiority, so that the handful of caring people became pests. At this time, the departments concerned no longer shouted the "three noes" -- "do not spread rumors, do not spread rumors, and do not believe rumors."

But often, rumors can't stop at the wise, and everyone is making money, and the most likely thing is to accumulate and destroy the bones. The reality is like this, the people who spread the rumors, even if they spread it, the people who sing and dance are still the same.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he was usually to give amnesty to the world. Then a group of real pests returned to the world, and their crimes were even more criminal than before, and even if they were caught again, it was as if the gray wolf shouted the classic slogan "I will come back" at the end of each episode. Therefore, the area around the capital suffered a new round of thefts and robberies after the "721" heavy rain.

"If you revise the law, you must fix the law." This was Yang Guang's anger, and with his words, Su You's road to greeting was declared dead, because the list of officials who revised the law this time included Comrade Liu Xuan and Liu Guangbo. This old Confucian, who was dismissed for making fake books and had been depressed for more than ten years, was activated again in his fifties.

When Su You heard the news, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.
