Qionghua is also called hibiscus, also called lotus. Later generations were rumored to be the Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty who liked Qionghua the most in his life, and even went to Yangzhou three times at the expense of the people.

Just to see the grand scene of Yangzhou Qionghua in full bloom. However, it is only rumor. In fact, Emperor Yang went to Yangzhou three times, of course, not just to see the flowers.

More of it is for the Jiangnan Shi clan. When Emperor Yang of Sui was twenty-one years old, he served as the governor of Yangzhou in Yangzhou.

And based on Yangzhou, he wiped out the Southern Dynasty Chen in one fell swoop, making an indelible contribution to the unification of the Great Sui.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ruled Jiangnan for ten years, and also maintained a good relationship with the Jiangnan scholars. And Yang Guang went to Jiangnan three times in his life, which is related to this.

At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Yang Guang was ambitious, bent on eliminating the influence of the Guanlong Group and the Shandong Gate Valve in the court.

So he came to Jiangnan to seek the support and help of the Jiangnan Shi clan who had a good relationship with him. Although it is said that in the Sui and Tang dynasties, a large area of Jiangnan was a vast and uninhabited primitive land.

However, a large number of Han people who came here to recuperate and recuperate because of the Wuhu Rebellion period still gathered on both sides of the river.

Among these Han people, they can be traced back to the wealthy families who fled from the north. Ordinary people simply did not have the ability to flee to Jiangnan in this era.

Therefore, there is no shortage of talents and resources in the hands of these Jiangnan scholars. In addition, Jiangnan is rich in products.

Soon, the resources in the hands of the Jiangnan Shi clan became the basis for Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to suppress the northern Shi clan gate lords.

Among them, the eight surnames of Jiangnan are the most prominent. The eight surnames of Jiangnan are the eight scholars who moved to Jiangnan from the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

"In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people." Wang Xie in a poem! It is said that the Langya Wang family and the Chen Jun Xie family in the eight surnames in Jiangnan.

Langya Wang and Taiyuan Wang, although they are both surnamed Wang, are not the same family. It's a pity that Yang Guang went too far.

After having the capital to confront the northern scholars, he couldn't wait to launch an expedition against Goguryeo.

In vain, he tried to conquer Goryeo to push his reputation among the people to the peak. Then turn around and eradicate these tumors in the country in one fell swoop.

However, Yang Guang once again overestimated his talent. After the failure of the first expedition to Goguryeo, not only did he not reflect on himself, but he also did not rest with the people.

On the contrary, it took only three years from the eighth year of the Great Cause to the tenth year of the Great Cause. Millions of soldiers and millions of people were conscripted from all over the world, and three expeditions were launched against Goguryeo.

And all three times were defeated. Countless Han sons died on the banks of Liaoshui, and their heads were cut off by Goguryeo soldiers to build a fortress of Jingguan.

Don't talk about the northern scholar clan gate valve who was unhappy with Emperor Yang of Sui. Even the Jiangnan Shi clan, who originally supported Emperor Yang of Sui's Eastern Crusade, really couldn't afford it.

No matter how much money and how much food the Jiangnan Shi clan has, they can't afford Yang Guang's squandering like this. So everyone stayed together and discussed it, and decided not to play with Yang Guang.

And Yang Guang didn't know that he was about to be backstabbed by the Jiangnan Shi clan, so he still went south to Jiangnan again to persuade the Jiangnan Shi clan to continue to support him.

So, he threw his life away in Jiangdu! And the Jiangnan Shi clan also collapsed because of this. Throughout the Tang Dynasty, except for Xiao Yu, who was born in the Lanling Xiao family during the Zhenguan period.

Three times to worship the prime minister and three times to be dismissed, in addition to the title of Song Guogong. Compared with the late Tang Dynasty, the northern scholars occupied half of the court, known as Cui Bantang, Lu Bantang and other prominent positions.

The entire Jiangnan Shi clan has no achievements above the court. Therefore, it is not only Shandong, Liaodong, Guanzhong, Hedong and Hebei that have been spoiled by Yang Guang, but also the illustrious Jiangnan Shi clan.

With this hand, a trump card was played to a pulp. The four words of Zhida and talent can be said to be tailor-made for Yang Guang.

It's all in the past, so don't mention it. After Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian got off the ship, a total of seventeen people, erased the odds, and paid Zhou Boss a total of three times the fare.

The charge is very cheap, after all, there is still food for them on board. After bidding farewell to Boss Zhou and the businessman surnamed Wu, Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian came to Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion.

Because if a few people want to go upriver from the river, the fastest way is to take the Datang sailor warship.

There are two sailors in the Tang Dynasty, one is stationed in Dengzhou, Shandong, and the other is stationed in Jiangnan.

The Jiangnan Navy Division is stationed in Dajiang, and the station is changing at any time. Zhang Zheng and Li Chengqian didn't know where the Tang Navy Division was stationed, but Yangzhou Assassin must know.

So when he came to the door of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhang Zheng revealed his identity and directly asked to see the Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion. The surname of Yangzhou Thorn is Cui, and his name is Cui Liang.

Hearing that Zhang Zheng asked to see him, he didn't dare to delay for a moment and hurried to the door of the Assassin's Mansion. I saw that many officials of the Assassin Mansion felt very strange, and in Yangzhou, it was politely said that the history of the Assassin was the sky.

Moreover, Cui Tingshi was born in a high-ranking family, and he pays the most attention to demeanor and demeanor on weekdays. Now Cui Tingshi's hurried appearance has aroused the curiosity of all the subordinate officials in the mansion.

speculated about what kind of big man was coming, which made Cui Liang, the chief official of a state, excited to look like this.

Could it be that the heavyweights of those families in Jiangnan are here? However, Cui Liang had no intention of beckoning others to go to greet him, so everyone could only bury their doubts in their hearts.

As soon as Cui Liang appeared in front of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhang Zheng was stunned. Tentatively shouted: "Cui Langzhong? Cui Liang was also stunned, but he didn't care about Zhang Zheng's title, but asked Zhang Zheng: "But Zhang Xianbo in person?" As soon as Cui Liang said this, Zhang Zheng knew in his heart that this person must have something to do with Cui Jin.

Maybe it's twin brothers, after all, the two really look too similar. Zhang Zheng nodded, arched his hand and saluted back: "Yes, it is under the bottom, Cui Tingshi recognizes me?" After confirming Zhang Zheng's identity, Cui Liang's expression instantly became warm.

laughed and said: "Hahahaha, I recognize, not only recognize, but also very familiar, it's just that Uncle Zhang doesn't recognize this official. Then without waiting for Zhang Zheng to speak, he explained to himself: "The Cui Langzhong in Zhang County's mouth is the official's brother Cui Jin, and our two brothers are not twins, but their faces are very similar. Ordinary people often misunderstand my two brothers, not surprising, not surprising! Cui Liang was talking, and when he saw Zhang Zheng and a group of guards still standing in front of the door, he suddenly patted his head: "By the way, Uncle Zhang, and all the sergeants, please come in and talk." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to lead Zhang Zheng, and his demeanor was so respectful that he did not look like a state assassin at all.

Zhang Zheng nodded, and was a little confused by the inexplicable enthusiasm of this assassin. But he still said politely, stretched out his hand and said, "Cui Tingshi, please first." ”
