The pearls on the dome of the hall were like brilliant stars, and Yang Guang was a little lonely sitting in the Taiji Hall that looked incomparably wide and huge at this time. Half-lying on the dragon chair, Yang Guang has been looking up for most of the hour.

All the inner shì and janissaries on duty in the palace were driven far away by Yang Guang, there were no lights in the hall, and in the empty and dim hall, only the night pearls that emitted bright light were left on the dome of the palace.

Yang Guang was in a trance, and he didn't remember when he liked to stay alone in the huge Taiji Hall, just quietly looking at the palace dome like the starry sky. The moon is sunny and round, and even the bright starry sky will not always be there. Maybe today is a starry sky, tomorrow is a dark cloud, and the day after tomorrow is a storm and rain, and the sky that is uncertain will not make people happy all the time.

Only the dome of this Tai Chi Temple, the night pearl that shines like a starry sky, will never change, they are there like that, eternal and unchanging. No matter when you want to see it, they're always there. Looking at this dome as bright as the starry sky, Yang Guang often fell into it deeply.

He often thinks that since the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed the country, the Wuhu Rebellion that lasted for one hundred and sixteen years began, and Shenzhou Lu Shen. The Han people were reduced to slavery, except for a small number of Han people who fled to the south of the Yangtze River and the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Han people in the north were slaughtered, and the entire Chinese civilization fell into the darkest age. When it comes to this era, even those historians are reluctant to say more.

From Liu Yu usurped the Eastern Jin Dynasty and established himself in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Central Plains continued to separate the north and south for 180 years.

The north is still under the rule of a small number of foreign tribes. It was his father Yang Jian, who established Sui after usurping the Northern Zhou and destroying the Northern Qi, and abolished the Xiliang Kingdom with unparalleled momentum, pacified the Southern Chen, completely unified the north and the south, and owned the Central Plains. And it was from his father that he began to restore Han surnames, restore Zhou rites, and the Qin and Han uniform seal systems.

His father unified the north and south, pacified the Central Plains, and recuperated, accumulating great wealth and strength. From the Han people with a population of only 4 million at the time of the Wuhu Rebellion to 46 million at the time of his father, the Han people in China once again reached an era of extreme strength. Moreover, through the strategy of uniting the weak and separating the strong, dividing and attacking together, the Great Sui defeated the powerful Turkic Khanate of the northern steppe many times in a row, preventing the Han people from being invaded by the northern Hu people again.

But since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he can't help but think of the weakness and darkness of the Central Plains Dynasty for three hundred years.

The Han Dynasty was once known as the strong Han, but in the end, not many years after the Han Dynasty was destroyed, there was the darkest Wuhu Chaohua era of the Central Plains Dynasty. He often can't sleep at night, and he often watches the rich and powerful Great Sui that his father helped him save, and one day, it will flourish and decline. Such an idea made him unacceptable, and he began to be diligent in political affairs, and devoted himself to political affairs every day. even personally traveled thousands of miles to the west to Zhangye, which was far away and bitterly cold, and that time, the palace concubines and guards who accompanied him were killed and wounded.

But he was not intimidated, and continued to act. He defeated the Turks, destroyed the Iwu, and destroyed the Tuyuhun. But when he stopped every day, he always felt that all that he had done was not enough, and that he was always as empty as a mirror, a pavilion in the sky, and a mirage. He built canals and moved the eastern capital.

Finally, when he noticed the pearls on the dome in this Taiji hall, he finally understood what he wanted. He wanted to create a more prosperous and powerful Great Sui in his lifetime, establish a more powerful dynasty, and let the Chinese Han people completely get rid of the threat of the Hu people in the north, and no longer have to worry about the disaster of extinction. Faced with this heavy goal, he couldn't take it step by step, and he was very much looking forward to having everything ready in his lifetime.

Especially when he only had two heirs, but he had already lost one of his favorite princes, his heart became heavier and heavier when he faced the second son Qi Wanglai, who was unruly and did not have much to stabilize the country. He didn't dare to imagine the result of letting his only remaining son, Yang Lai, take charge of the Great Sui Empire after a hundred years of success. He was in a hurry, he couldn't hold his breath anymore. He was bent on building a strong and stable empire for Yang Lai in his lifetime, and there was no threat from the surrounding foreign races.

was too eager for quick success and quick profit, and finally let him swallow the bitter fruit himself, three expeditions to Goguryeo, millions of casualties, and the vitality of the empire was greatly damaged. Attacking the family, but Yang Xuangan rebelled, and the nobles of the family who did not produce were separated from him from then on. And the big moves in successive years have also displaced the rich and powerful people of the Central Plains, and the arrow is boiling, and the peasant rebels are everywhere. It's just that Yang Guang has always believed that those are just the price he must pay for politics, and what he can get is to complete the layout in a hundred years in thirty years, so that Da Sui can continue in his incompetent son. …,

In the most difficult years of the eighth and ninth years of the great cause, he hesitated, suffered, and hesitated, but he never regretted it.

Every time he sat alone in this empty Tai Chi hall, looking at the dome of the hall as bright as the starry sky, he became more and more firm in his heart. He told himself that it was all worth it, as long as he passed this hurdle, then the Great Sui would no longer have to be like the countless short-lived dynasties that changed after the Western Jin Dynasty, and the first and second dynasties would end. He wants to build an eternal empire as brilliant as this, and it will always be brilliant and bright.

The most difficult two years finally passed, he won the bet, and the Great Sui finally destroyed the 500-year-old Goguryeo Dynasty that threatened the Central Plains. After pacifying Goguryeo, the Great Sui also quickly suppressed the peasant rebels who jumped rice all over the Central Plains. In his plan, as long as he defeated the ambitious and unruly Eastern Turks, he would have enough time to recuperate and restore the Central Plains.

It's just that he never thought that at such a time, he was actually betrayed by the courtiers he once admired the most.

When he was critical to Goguryeo's three expeditions, Yang Xuan was reversed and let his Eastern Crusade be defeated. It was precisely because of Yang Xuangan's rebellion that Chen Kefu, who was originally just a small person, became big.

It also gave Chen Kefu a chance when he was about to pacify the last strong enemy of the Great Sui, the Eastern Turks, but he jumped out to divide Liaodong and make chaos.

The changes in the world are just a moment in the starry sky after all. Famous Monarchs,

Sages and heroes, where do they come from and where they go, after a hundred years, they are just a cup of loess after all, and they cannot escape their fate. In a hurry, the only thing that can be left, in addition to the starry sky overhead, is only the name of the history in the history books.
