Chapter 708: Father's Selfishness

Obviously, there are many people in Changchun Garden, but this moment is so quiet. It was so quiet that people felt terrible when they heard their own breathing. The majestic ironclad soldiers gathered around the crowd, and there was not a trace of emotion in their eyes behind the visors. They were like the Mo knives and heavy lances in their hands, cold and only murderous.

The people who were surrounded were all stunned at this moment, watching the little emperor laugh and cry like a fool. Yes, he was laughing and crying, but the scene was eerily quiet.

Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the Great Sui, looked at her younger brother who seemed to be crazy with a pale face, and her body was stiff as if it were a stone. For a long time, her mind went blank and there was nothing. She is a noble princess who has grown up in pampering from childhood to adulthood. So she rarely tasted fear, and the last time she felt she was afraid was the day when Emperor Yang Yi died.

Today's fear seems to be even more intense than that day.

She turned her head to look at the majestic figure standing on the high platform with some mechanical twist, and then the blank space in her brain was taken over by an unprecedented storm. She felt that her head was hurting, it hurt, and it hurt to death.

The founding emperor of the Great Sui

People who have been dead for more than a hundred years, why did they appear in front of her alive?

She couldn't understand it, and she didn't dare to understand it.

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but at this time, she suddenly thought of something.

From the founding of the Great Sui to the present, there have been more than a dozen emperors. With a history of less than 200 years, there have been more than a dozen emperors, and the average emperor has only been in power for more than ten years.

Why is there such a thing?

She didn't know why she thought of this, how could she think of this in this situation?

"You are all descendants of the Yang family, although many of you are not surnamed Yang, but you all have the blood of my Yang family more or less in your bones."

Yang Jian's eyes swept over the people present, and after being silent for a while, he said, "The reason why I brought you all here is to tell you about this. Originally, this was the most confidential matter of the Great Sui, from the founding of the Great Sui to the present, except for the emperor, almost no outsiders knew about it. This is a decision I made after discussing with Wan Xingchen, the old dean of the Yanwu Academy, in order for the Great Sui to continue. In order to allow me to come back when the Great Sui was in danger, the old dean spent half of his cultivation. ”

He spoke slowly and in a flat tone. But that kind of innate majesty made everyone listen quietly and carefully. They were indeed very scared, and they did have an urge to flee, but when Yang Jian spoke, they were left with only obedience.

"At the beginning, the three of us brothers went through all kinds of hardships and dangers to create the empire of the Great Sui, and the weight of the Great Sui in our hearts is heavier than anything."

Yang Jian said: "Because I am the founder, it is very different from your feelings for Da Sui. The Great Sui is like the most perfect work of art I have ever made, and it is like my child, and I am willing to give everything to take care of this empire. Many of you can recite the ancestral teachings of the Yang family, and that is the advice I left for you. ”

"The Yang family is the Great Sui, and the Yang family will destroy the Great Sui."

Yang Jian was silent for a while and said, "I know that most of you still can't believe this, even if this is what you saw with your own eyes. I should have been dead for almost two hundred years, how could I possibly come back? ”

"I'll explain this matter to you, but you don't understand."

Yang Jian said: "So what you have to be sure of now is only one thing, I am your ancestor, I am the founding emperor of the Great Sui, my words, as the descendants of the Yang family, you have no choice but to obey." ”

The little emperor Yang Chengqian, who was sitting on the ground, couldn't help laughing: "Yes...... You are the greatest man of the Yang family, and you have created this empire that has made the entire world tremble. Your name will always appear on the first page of the imperial history books, and your exploits will always be engraved on the stone tablet in front of the gate of the Taiji Hall and in the hearts of the descendants of the Yang family and even the people of the Great Sui. But isn't that enough? ”

He raised his head and looked at Yang Jian.

"Isn't that enough?"

Yang Jian shook his head: "What I want is the Great Sui Immortal." ”

He said with some sadness: "However, you people have only disappointed me, as my descendants, the unyielding and stubborn in your bones has become thinner and thinner, just like the royal blood in your body." If you can defend the Great Sui, do I need to come back? ”

The little emperor's face was full of snot and tears, and he looked particularly embarrassed: "Even if there is no chaos in the Great Sui, you may come back, right?" ”

He struggled to stand up and looked directly at Yang Jian: "The Great Sui was built by you, so it can be said that it is your favorite toy...... You are full of reluctance to this toy. If this were not the case, how could you have made such an arrangement with the old dean? And for this arrangement, the emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty were so short-lived! They must promise to die in the prime of life, because in this way, the most perfect blood can be sealed for you to live! ”

"I'm starting to admire my grandfather now......"

The little emperor cried and said, "He decided to live until he died, how much determination and how much courage did he use? ”

He was talking about Emperor Zhenzong, the father of Emperor Yang Yi. The longest-lived emperor in the history of the Great Sui, he lived to be in his sixties and reigned for nearly forty years. Because of this, Yang Yi was already middle-aged when he succeeded to the throne.

"I envy my father too!"

The little emperor wiped the tears and snot from the corners of his mouth: "He is sick, but it is precisely because of his illness that he can experience normal birth, old age, sickness and death!" ”

"You're talking too much."

Yang Jian was silent for a while and then said: "Your heart is full of resentment, I told you early on in the admonition I left behind, as a descendant of the Yang family, you must have the consciousness of dedicating everything for this empire at any time. Since you have been reciting this ancestral precept since you were a child, and you have succeeded to the throne of the emperor, why do you suffer so much for Lu? ”

The little emperor cried: "Because I am sorry for everything my father has paid for me!" ”

"Everything?"

Yang Jian frowned, as if he didn't understand this sentence.

……

……

After a long, long time, Yang Jian finally understood the meaning of the little emperor's words, and then he couldn't help but sigh: "I thought that Yang Yi was the most courageous and resolute of my descendants, and I admired him very much. Now I know that Lu Dao's selfishness is so heavy, so heavy that it is greater than his feelings for Da Sui. ”

The little emperor cried, "That's right! You can say he's selfish, but he's a respectable father! ”

At this moment, the little emperor thought of what his father said in his ear before he died.

"Cheng Qian...... I didn't want to tell you these words, but maybe there will be a great upheaval in the Great Sui in the future. In this turmoil, you may die...... Over the years, I've thought a lot about it so that I can live longer. I just didn't expect that it would be you who came to meet this moment. I did my best, I wanted me to meet everything...... It's a pity that God doesn't give me more time...... The Great Sui Rebellion began with me, and I want this chaos to end with me, but I can't live a few more years......"

"Your ancestor, the founding emperor of the Great Sui, is not dead...... You have to remember that what I'm going to say next is the most important secret of the Great Sui, and you have to promise not to tell anyone. ”

The little emperor asked naively at that time: "What about Dou Shuangfang, he is the best for the child, can't he tell it?" ”

"Can't!"

Yang Yi denied it in a heavy tone: "This secret can only be known by the emperor of the Great Sui...... After Taizu founded the country, he always had a worry, he was afraid that the empire he created would not last for 10,000 years, and he hoped that this empire could have a beginning and an end. The more he arrived, the more worried and frightened he became, fearing that the empire would collapse after his death. So much so that in his old age, he was miserable all day. You should know that Taizu became more and more confused in his later years, killing many loyal people, and most of the exploits of the founding of the country were killed at that time......"

Seeing him like this, the old dean couldn't bear it, so he found Taizu. I don't know if the old dean can't bear the cruelty of Taizu to kill all the important ministers, or if he can't bear to see Taizu in such pain. In fact, in the final analysis, the reason why Taizu became like that is nothing more than two words...... Afraid! ”

Yang Yi let out a long sigh of relief, but his tone was still heavy: "The old dean told Taizu, if you are worried that something will happen to Da Sui after you die, I have a solution." Taizu asked him what the solution was, and the old dean said that this method can make you live for many more years, but the premise is to sacrifice your children and grandchildren, are you willing? ”

When he heard this, an unprecedented cold fear spread out in Yang Chengqian's heart, he trembled with fright, and sweat was on his back in an instant.

"Taizu...... How to answer? ”

He asked eagerly.

Yang Yi was silent for a while and then said with some sadness: "I don't know what the specific situation was at that time, but I think Taizu should have agreed without hesitation at that time. Because perhaps in his mind, Da Sui is much more important than his descendants. If he can live long to protect this empire, then what does he care about his children and grandchildren? ”

He ...... Promised? ”

Yang Chengqian asked tremblingly.

Yang Yi nodded: "Then the old dean told Taizu that he had a way to make Taizu fall into a deep sleep, as if he was asleep, and he would not die." When the Great Sui is in danger, as long as someone wakes him up, he can reappear in the world to protect his empire. This is a big secret, and it can't be told to anyone other than the direct descendants of the Yang family, and the Empress Taizu decided that only the emperor can know the Dao. ”

"Let Taizu sleep and not die, the price is that his descendants will not be able to live past the prime of life, and then they will be sealed in the imperial mausoleum, and the blood of his descendants will be used to maintain Taizu's life. Therefore, the emperors of the Great Sui were so short-lived...... The emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty will be unwilling, they may have struggled and rebellious thoughts, but in the end, because the old dean is still there, they have to develop in the direction of Taizu's plan. ”

"But your grandfather vented his unwillingness. Maybe it's because the old dean's mind has also changed, and he acquiesced to this matter. That's why your grandfather only lived to be in his sixties, and he was the longest-lived emperor of the Great Sui. But you are unfortunate, your grandfather was able to enjoy his old age in peace, his blood ancestor is not needed, I am seriously ill, and my blood ancestor is not needed...... Therefore, if you still want to ensure that Taizu does not die, your blood will definitely be used......"

What he didn't know was that if Emperor Zhenzong hadn't had an accident, how could he have survived to die naturally?

This sentence frightened Yang Chengqian to the point of bloodlessness.

"But ......"

Yang Yi looked at his son, his eyes were full of love: "I am your father, and I have the obligation and responsibility to let you live for a few more years." So I came up with a solution...... I only want you as a son, and I only want you when I am middle-aged, after I die, you succeed to the throne, don't be in a hurry to have children, wait until your children can inherit the throne, at least a few decades, you can live longer than all of them......"
