In the face of such a crisis, the god of fate did not take any care of Yang Jian at this stormy time.

When all the wheat harvest had been completed in Guanzhong in the sweltering heat of May, he ushered in the biggest blow of his life.

In previous years, Guanzhong, which had just been harvested, was the time when the people had enough money and food, and although there were still summer crops such as corn that needed to be sown and managed, it was basically a slack period, and the people should happily organize folk sacrifices such as social dramas.

However, at this time, the 800 miles of Pingchuan in Guanzhong was a white color, and almost every family wore filial piety and every household was mourned, not only because of the 1.5 million troops and more than 600,000 young and strong people lost by the Sui Empire in Liaodong in one go, but also because Empress Dugu, the Dugu Empress of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, also died at this time.

Although Queen Dugu forgave Yang Jian after the last Wei Chi Palace Girl turmoil, Dugu Jialuo, who was already heartbroken, has been weakening since that time, but even Queen Dugu, who has always been strong at the same time as she was sick, was more concerned about the war in Liaodong after Yang Jian led the army to fight.

After all, it was not only his favorite son Yang Guang who led the army to the battle, but also his husband.

At that time, the Sui Empire was bewildered by the strength of the Sui army, which was known as the three million army, and they all thought that the conquest of Liaodong and the destruction of the Xia State must be a matter of capture, but Queen Dugu, who had been recuperating in Chang'an, had always felt a little uneasy in her heart.

After Yang Jian fled back from Zhuojun, in order not to worry Queen Dugu, he had always kept it a secret from her, but where in this world was there any impermeable wall, while the news of the collapse of the million-strong army in Liaodong spread throughout Guanzhong, it also inadvertently reached the ears of Queen Dugu through some channels.

Queen Dugu, who has always been concerned about the growth of the Sui Empire, was extremely worried when she learned the news of the defeat, and her beloved son Yang Guang disappeared without a trace after the defeat of the army, which made her unable to eat and sleep more and more, and her already thin body became weaker and weaker.

At this time, some of the practices of the crown prince Yang Yong made Queen Dugu very dissatisfied, and also made the final conclusion for Yang Yong's tragic death.

The sudden defeat of the millions of Sui troops in Liaodong made almost every subject of the Sui Empire feel sad and heartache, but Yang Yong, as the crown prince and the prince of the empire, not only did not feel sad about it, but felt extremely happy in his heart, and even celebrated with wine at home.

A big reason why he felt happy was because his prince's biggest rival Yang Guang was also missing on the battlefield, although it was not certain that Yang Guang had died in battle for a while, but there was no news of Yang Guang for two or three months, which made Yang Yong believe that no one would be able to compete with him for the throne from now on.

Although it is a pity that more than one million troops died on the battlefield in Liaodong, the Sui Empire has nothing to offer, anyway, tens of millions of people in the country can continue to mobilize more troops at any time, so Yang Yong began to be busy meeting with Gao Ying and other officials all day long, and his performance was extremely high-profile.

In this way, Yang Yong was too busy to visit Queen Dugu.

People who are sick are very sensitive, and Queen Dugu was dissatisfied with Yang Yong's lustful, greedy for money, and unintimate with herself, and at this time Yang Yong's behavior angered the seriously ill Queen Dugu, so she complained about Yang Yong's unfilial piety and other inappropriate behaviors in front of Yang Jian many times in the future.

"It would be nice if Ah Mo was there!" This is a sentence that Dugu Jialuo often mentioned in front of Yang Jian during this time.

Ah Mo is Yang Guang's nickname, he is outstanding and good at performance, he not only makes Queen Dugu like, but even Yang Jian also recognizes Yang Guang's ability very much, but when he thought of Yang Guang's failure when he attacked Liaodong City, he didn't even find a whole corpse in the end, which made the two of them even more painful.

In such a mood, Queen Dugu finally didn't wait for Yang Guang in May, and left with regret and sadness, leaving only a grief-stricken Yang Jian to persist.

Although Yang Jian also likes beautiful women, but his relationship with Dugu Jialuo is very sincere, and the death of Queen Dugu hit Yang Jian extremely strongly.

Under the guidance of many ministers, Yang Jian finally recovered, Queen Dugu went, and the second son Yang Guang still didn't have any news, but he still had a big empire to continue to maintain, and in the face of the strategy of the Xia Kingdom, the entire Great Sui Empire also needed to use himself as a Dinghai Shenshen to calm the mood of all the people.

But at this time, Yang Jian suddenly fell ill!

It's actually normal to think about it, Yang Jian was already an old man in his fifties and sixties, no matter how you maintain people in ancient times, they still age very quickly, and the fatigue of several months during this period is the root cause of the outbreak of this disease, and it was the death of Queen Dugu that completely induced this disease.

Yang Jian was bedridden for many days, although he could still remain sober and wise, but his body could no longer withstand overwork, and under the advice of the imperial doctor, he could only barely deal with some extremely urgent political affairs in bed, and other political affairs were no longer able to read.

At this time, it was a period of drastic changes in the Sui Empire, there were strong enemies outside and great troubles inside, and there were countless political affairs to deal with every day, and once delayed, it would affect many things.

In the face of this scene, some ministers began to write letters suggesting that the crown prince Yang Yong temporarily take over the handling of court affairs, the reason is, of course, that the monarch is unable to come to the court, and it is natural for the crown prince, as the prince of the empire, to assist in handling political affairs, but this suggestion was rejected by Yang Jian.

After all, Yang Jian's political skills are not easily comparable to others, even when he is sick and bedridden, he still controls the intelligence of the Sui Empire, at least he is very clear about the affairs of this Guanzhong Land.

During the period when Queen Dugu died and he was sick, Prince Yang Yong actually quietly drank in the prince's mansion to celebrate, what did he celebrate? Celebrating the death of your own mother? Is the life and death of my brother unknown? Celebrating his own life, he can become emperor himself?

When he heard that this news was indeed not fake, the angry Yang Jian wanted to depose Yang Yong as a concubine for the first time, but in the end he reluctantly suppressed his anger!

Yang Jian has a total of five sons, except for Yang Yong, that is, Yang Guang's talent is the most favorite, and the other three sons are all mediocre and have no good abilities.

Now Yang Guang is alive and dead in the battlefield of Liaodong, Yang Liang, the king of Han, and Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, are all high-eyed masters and low-level people with hearts higher than the sky, so in comparison, only Yang Yong is still the tallest of the shorter, if Yang Yong is abolished, the Sui Empire will lose its heir, and destruction is already in sight.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian's heart suddenly popped up, and Queen Dugu often muttered in front of him before she died: "If only Ah Mo were still here!" "This sentence!

Compared with Yang Yong's indifference, Yang Guang was also busy during Dugu's illness, and he lost a lot of weight in two months, if he hadn't let the imperial doctor treat him in time and prescribed a lot of medicinal foods to nourish his body, I am afraid that Yang Guang would have fallen ill.

Thinking about the affection and righteousness of the second son Yang Guang, and the cold heart of the eldest son Yang Yong, Yang Jian felt uncomfortable for a while, and then thought of the life and death of the second son, Yang Jian missed Yang Guang's various benefits even more at this moment.

People are like this, when they like someone, everything is good, even if there is something bad, they will find all kinds of reasons by themselves, but when they dislike a person, no matter what he does, it is an ulterior motive.

At this time, Yang Jian already had in his heart: 'If Ah Mo (Yang Guang) is the emperor in him, he will definitely be much stronger than Yang Yong (Yang Yong's nickname)!" 'Thoughts!

In addition to Yang Yong's various inappropriate behaviors that broke Yang Jian's heart, Yang Jian also knew that his eldest son Yang Yong was a bit forward-looking and did not have the mentality that he had to be resolute in doing big things.

If there were no too powerful enemies around the Sui Empire, it would be no problem for Yang Yong to be a peaceful prince after his death, so that the Sui Empire could pass on safely and steadily, but now facing the turbulent situation of having strong enemies of the Xia State outside and various hidden dangers inside, Yang Yong simply could not afford this responsibility.

Yang Jian lay quietly on the bed alone, thinking about these questions, the hall was quiet, not only the palace maids waiting in the hall were careful not to make any noise, but even the guards in the corridor outside the hall were extremely quiet.

At this time, Yang Jian suddenly heard a sudden sound of wind, and the wind chimes hanging under the eaves of the main hall 'jingle', the sound was extremely pleasant, and then you could see that the sky suddenly became dark from northwest to southeast, and a summer precipitation was about to begin.

It's finally not going to be too dry this year!

Yang Jian's first reaction was this, now that the land of Guanzhong had just harvested wheat and ushered in such a rainfall, listening to the sound of the rain falling quickly outside on the ground, it seemed that it was not small, so that various crops such as corn and cotton in summer could grow very well.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian's heart was finally much better, and then he continued to analyze how he should face the next battle situation.

"Your Majesty!"

A gentle call came from the door, "Gao Ying and Yang Su are two adults who have an emergency and want to see them!" ”

"Tell them I'm asleep!"

Yang Jian didn't want to see them at this moment, Gao Ying was one of his most trusted ministers in the past, but after becoming Yang Yong's father-in-law, he began to think about many things for Yang Yong, and Yang Su's selfishness was also very powerful, and he transferred him from the army for this reason.

"Your Majesty! Good news! Not long after the guards left, the surprise of Yu Zhongwen, the general of the Wuwei Guard, suddenly came from outside the hall, and there sounded an irrepressible sense of joy, "The King of Jin has returned safely, they have already passed through Shangjun, and they will be able to return to Chang'an in a few days!" ”

"What? Ah, he didn't die? At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly regained his strength and stood up from the bed wearing only his middle coat.
