Chapter Forty-Four: Depression in the Heart (First Update, Subscription!)

"Second brother, you will always be my good second brother!"

On the dock, Yang Jun had red eyes and said goodbye to Gu Chengyi.

"The land of abundance in Shudi, Chengdu is even more of a treasure of nature, and the third brother has a smooth journey here!"

Gu Cheng patted him on the shoulder and instructed, "Remember your original intention!"

No one could have imagined that at this time, Yang Jun, who was like a little sheep, would become an arrogant and lascivious generation of faint kings in a few years, overhauling the palace, lending money to collect interest, exploiting the people, excellent women, hundreds of concubines, and finally he was not only removed from the fief by Yang Jian, but also poisoned to death by the jealous princess, and only lived to be thirty years old.

In fact, not only Yang Jun, but also Yang Jian's five sons are extremely luxurious people, and he and Dugu Jialuo have saved a lifetime, as if they are squandering for the son of a loser, miserable and miserable.

Now in the eyes of the Jiangnan family, the prince has undoubtedly begun to rejoice, and he actually wants to build a canal, directly indicate the places, allocate river sections, strictly control them, and exterminate the family at every turn, and the means are extremely ruthless.

Thousands of years ago, with the courage of Qin Shi Huang, he only dug the Ling Canal, connected the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, and strengthened his control over the South Vietnamese region.

The idea of this artificial canal greatly inspired later rulers, but why didn't anyone build it?

Because we all know that this is a matter of labor and money, and it is very likely to shake the country's foundation.

Li Zaiqiu's words are good, but the ruler is not stupid, but whoever has the national strength to do it, who wants to be guilty of the present generation?

But Gu Cheng knew that the time was ripe.

For a long time in ancient times, the economic center of gravity in China has been in the Yellow River Valley, and the economy of the north is much greater than that of the south.

However, by the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, more than 400 years of chaos had a serious impact on the north, and at the same time, the rise of the economy and culture in the south led to the weakening of the armed forces, which were far less than the multi-ethnic mix in the north, the prevalence of martial arts, and the strength of the army.

Therefore, it is inevitable to unify the world from the north to the south, but after reunification, the north needs the material supply from the south.

For example, in order to guard against the Turkic Goguryeo that invaded the border every year, a large number of troops were stationed on the border, and it was not enough for these troops to rely on Tuntian, they had to have food and salary supplies from Jianghuai and the Central Plains, and the distance was so far that it was really difficult to rely on horse-drawn carriages alone.

At such times, what could be more suitable than a canal that runs north and south?

To put it bluntly, at this time, the north and south of the world are one article and one martial arts, if the civil and military forces are combined, the national strength of the Great Sui will inevitably climb to the peak, and the world is invincible!

At the peak of the reign of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, all countries came to the dynasty, which was actually born on this basis.

Of course, the predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, and the predecessors did not seem to end well.

Qin repaired the Great Wall, benefited in Qianqiu, and died in the second, and Sui repaired the canal, benefited in Qianqiu, and died in the second......

If Gu Cheng chooses to be an emperor who guards the city, as long as he succeeds to the throne, with the current Great Sui strong generals and the peak military strength, it will not be a problem to go north to break the Turks and destroy Goguryeo, but he is bigger than anyone else, how can he deliberately avoid the problem of the Grand Canal?

"The Jiangnan family is a tumor, just by building the Jiangnan Canal, clean it up!"

Gu Cheng stood on the embankment, his eyes were cold.

If the northern family is still in the prime of life, the southern family is really rotten, completely immersed in the glory of the past, and the roots are completely rotten.

However, they still have delusions, thinking that the royal family will rely on them to deal with the Guanlong group in the north and hold the shelf.

In this case, Gu Cheng used a bloody knife to tell them what it means to be a human knife and I am a fish!

The Jiangnan rebellion has just been put down, and the timing is just right!

"Your Highness! The Great Virtuous Holy Monk is willing to go to Jiangdu!"

With the rapid change of Jiangdu and the change of forces in Jiangnan, in the next three months, Gu Chengdu refined in the prince's mansion to understand the general trend of heaven and earth, and the essence of the integration of humanities and martial arts.

On this day, he closed his eyes and listened to Bi Xiuxin's song, and was enjoying himself, and the dusty Fanqing Hui entered the confession, with a happy face.

She had already sent back a letter, saying that the great virtuous monk Xianyun Yehe did not want to come here, and now the other party finally changed his mind.

"Well, you've worked hard, go and rest!"

Gu Cheng opened his eyes and smiled.

"Not tired!"

Fan Qinghui was flattered and said expectantly: "The four holy monks are already on the way, and they are willing to open an altar in Jiangdu and preach the scriptures!"

How did Buddhism flourish?

The monks opened the altar to speak, the lay people gathered to listen, the scriptures were asked, and a grand meeting was brought down to expand the influence, so that the people could worship Buddhism and escape into Buddhism.

Otherwise, if there is no one to worship and the faith is missing, it will soon be ruined.

"The host of the Meditation Monastery is called empty, right? Such a grand event, how can he be missing, and he will be called together!"

Gu Cheng waved his hand: "Do it lively, let those families who complain all day long know that they have good fruits in this life, and they will be rewarded in the next life!"

"Yes!"

Fan Qinghui was stunned, how dare he say that he wanted to practice the closed mouth meditation, refuted the interest of His Royal Highness the Prince, and even understood what he wanted, and immediately said: "Buddhism will not let His Highness down!"

As a result, the river capital is lively, and monks can be seen everywhere on the street, all of whom are the essence of Buddhism, preaching the Dharma on the ground, and spitting lotus flowers.

Of course, it's not just Buddhists who come here.

If Buddhism is prosperous, it is related to the entire rivers and lakes, coupled with the prince's three strategies for determining martial arts, and the demon gate is ready to move, and for a time the rivers are surging, and the four directions converge.

"The prosperous weather, it's a pity that the people are suffering!"

Ouyang Xiyi walked on the street and sighed.

He is majestic, ragged, known as the Yimin of Huangshan, has been famous for many years, and is the same generation as Ning Daoqi.

"Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really make a big splash of Buddhism?"

Behind him, there was a handsome and elegant young man named Wang Tong, whose eyes flashed with contemplation.

This person later became a generation of Confucianism, imitating the "Spring and Autumn Period" and "Yuan Jing", imitating the "Analects" into "Zhong Shuo", knowing the general situation, changing the power, playing the Taiping Twelve Strategies to Yang Jian, and proposing the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism Three Teachings Yuanyong Theory, it is all over the world, teaching many talents, it is said that Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng are also his apprentices, and even Li Jing has worshiped under the door to listen to learning, but just like Yang Jian's origin, there are different opinions, I don't know whether it is true or false.

However, Wang Tong has a grandson who is known to almost everyone, Wang Bo, the author of "The Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng".

Wang Tong and Ouyang Xiyi in this world have become New Year's friends, and they are walking the world, and when they learned that Jiangdu has a Buddhist puja, they came immediately.

"If you can meet the prince this time and give what you have learned, you will have a chance to ascend to the sky, what way should you think of to enter the prince's mansion?"

After visiting Jiangdu, Ouyang Xiyi went to drink, while Wang Tong looked at the heavily guarded prince's mansion from a distance, like a small imperial city, revealing a fiery color.

Learn to become a literary and martial artist, goods and the emperor's family, the emperor does not use, sell and know the family, do not use the family, and act righteously.

It can be seen from this that a righteous warrior like Ouyang Xiyi is really a helpless move to retreat and seek the second second, how can he be buried?

Wang Tong is a very patient person, and he stays outside the prince's mansion all day.

Approaching evening, he was ready to return to the inn, and when he came back tomorrow, he saw a group of monks in the distance approaching, and after the report, an attendant of the prince's mansion appeared to greet him.

"The great virtuous monk of Chengdu Dashi Temple? He has never asked about world affairs, but he actually came! I have been given guidance, and I should pay a visit!"

Wang Tong fell on the old monk headed by him, and his eyes lit up.

He once went to visit the big stone temple, sat with the monks and discussed the law, and won the praise of the great virtuous monks.

But just as Wang Tong was walking over there, his eyes fell on the great virtuous holy monk, and he was suddenly slightly stunned.

He has been smart since he was a child, he sees people very clearly, and has a sense of insight that points directly to his heart, and at this moment he suddenly feels that this holy monk is no longer lenient in the world, but depressed in his heart, and there is a kind of creepy evil......

Wang Tong's face changed, and his figure flashed into the alley.
