From the end of the Han Dynasty to the end of the Three Kingdoms to the return of the Three Kingdoms to the Jin Dynasty, but the time for the Jin Dynasty to truly dominate the world was only more than 100 years. After that, the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Southern Dynasties, and the Northern Dynasties, on the land of the Central Plains, began a troubled era that lasted for nearly 300 years.

During this time, all parties in the Central Plains fought for hegemony, and the emperors took turns to do it, or even did it together, and the Central Plains has never been unified and has always been in troubled times.

The times create heroes, and Yang Jian's birth turned out to subdue many forces and establish the Great Sui.

But this is only the surface of the unification, in fact it is just the balance of the forces of the parties, the four major lords are strong, Guanzhong, Longxi Shi clan has far-reaching influence, as the emperor who dominates the world, Yang Jian's actual power is far less than imagined, in the territory of the various forces, whether Yang Jian's policy can be implemented, it depends on whether the forces of all parties cooperate.

As an emperor, Yang Jian will definitely not allow this situation to continue, and as the first emperor to dominate the world in hundreds of years, he is undoubtedly also very means, so during Yang Jian's reign, under the condition of maintaining the stability of the government, he has also destroyed many forces one after another, and the national strength of the Great Sui is also a lot stronger, and it gradually represents orthodoxy in the hearts of the people of the world.

But there are still some forces, which have a long heritage and are deep-rooted, and they are not something that the Great Sui can easily move for the time being. He didn't dare, his son Yang Guang dared.

With the help of some people, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he moved the capital to Luoyang, sat in the Central Plains, conquered the Turks, Turpan, and Goryeo, opened the internal branch to take scholars, broke the monopoly of the family, built the Grand Canal, connected the north and south, changed the state to the county, changed the weights and measures, changed the official system, and changed the law.

Originally, all this was carried out in an orderly manner, but unfortunately, for unknown reasons, Yang Guang actually messed up and took too big a step, which attracted resistance from the upper and lower classes.

Yangzhou in the south, with Yang Guang digging the Grand Canal, through the north and south, Yangzhou's geographical advantages have also been highlighted, outside Yangzhou City, on the bank of the canal, as far as the eye can see, thousands of sails fluttering, hundreds of boats competing for the current, huge merchant ships, the river is endless.

At this time, these giant merchant ships were making way for the five giant ships.

Yu Wenhua stands on the command platform of the battleship, on both sides of the Jimu Canal.

At this time, the sky had not yet dawned, and under the light of the lights of the five giant ships, the stars and moon in the sky were eclipsed, as if to show the rise of his Yuwen Valve.

Yu Wenhua is in his thirties, tall and thin, with long hands and feet, a frustrated face, a cold expression, and a pair of eyes that are deep and unpredictable, giving people the impression of ruthlessness, but also a shocking domineering.

These five warships were built under the personal supervision of Yang Su, the founding minister of the Sui Dynasty, named the Wuya Great Ship, with five floors on the deck, as high as 12 zhang, and each ship could accommodate 800 soldiers.

The five-masted sails were fully spread, and the group of ships drove towards the lower reaches of the canal at a speed like galloping horses.

Yu Wenhua and the merchant ships who ignored the way fell on the roof of the palace that rose outside the trees on the shore, which was one of the more than 40 palaces built along the river by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty only before the year.

Zhang Shihe, a henchman standing behind him, said respectfully: "You can arrive in Jiangdu before dawn, and if the chief manager can obtain the "Secret of Eternal Life" and dedicate it to the emperor this time, it will be a great achievement." “

Yu Wenhua and the corners of his mouth escaped a trace of unfathomable smile, and said lightly: "The saint is obsessed with the immortality technique of Taoist alchemy, which is really teachable, if there is really this strange technique, there should have been immortal people a long time ago, but looking at the Taoist sages, who is not immune to death." If it weren't for the fact that this book is woven with black gold thread, which is inviolable by water and fire, we can just find someone to fake it, and we can hide it. “

Zhang Shihe said with a smile: "It's strange to say, the saint knew twenty years ago that this book might be in Shi Long's hands, but he never did it, and it was not until today that he was sure that it was in Shi Long's hands, and asked the chief manager to get the longevity formula." also laughed at the stone dragon who hoped to get a book and not die, but he died because of this book, which is really ironic. “

Yu Wenhua was stunned when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered a person, a person who had been by Yang Guang's side for many years, but this person had disappeared for five years, and Yu Wenhua didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Yu Wenhua: "Where can that person be found?" ”

Zhang Shihe was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted to who Yu Wenhua was talking about, so he hurriedly shook his head.

Yu Wenhua and: "Keep checking!" ”

"Yes!"

In an overgrown abandoned manor in the east of Yangzhou, most of the buildings have long been in disrepair, eroded by wind and rain, and eaten by ants and insects.

In the darkness of the room, there was a groan, followed by the grinding of the body's turn.

A voice with a child's voice sounded, and he whispered: "Xiaoling! Koling! Does it still hurt? “

After another groan, another young man's voice responded: "Damn boss, your fists are terrible, alas!

If there is genuine goods on the next trip, don't go to the dead grass to exchange money, which is both mean and low-priced, and tell the dog thief that if you want to hide half of it, you have to suffer from punching and kicking. “

The conversation was made by two thugs living in a dilapidated house, whose parents and family members were killed by thieves during the war and became orphans without a father or mother.

The two boys happened to meet together, like-minded, and they depended on each other for their lives, more than brothers.

The older Kou Zhong is seventeen years old this year, and the younger one is called Xu Ziling, who has just turned sixteen years old.

In the dark, the two continued to talk about everything, just like a group of people in later generations discussing "national affairs" while playing strings.

What they didn't know was that in the courtyard of this abandoned manor, there was a cellar under a pile of rubble, and in the cellar, the dust was a little deep, but the strange thing was that there was not a single insect snake, rat and ant in this shady and panicked cellar.

In the depths of the cellar, there is also a "mound of earth", but if you look closely, you will see that this mound looks like a person sitting cross-legged.

Suddenly, the man wanted to move, and then the dust on his body faded like flowing water, revealing his true face.

I saw that this person had a childish face, his skin did not look like an old man at all, and there was a bright red flame mark in the center of his eyebrows. But at this time, the man seemed to be dead, and he was not breathing, as if he had not moved just now.

After another half hour, the man's abdomen rose and fell, and at the same time, the mark on his eyebrows suddenly faded, and soon disappeared, and then his skin began to shrink, and in a short time it became like "old bark".

Soon, his muscles began to atrophy, and soon they became skinny bones, and at this time, there was a "snap" sound from the palms of his closed hands...... Read the latest chapter of "Enlightenment in the Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
