Chapter 689 Ask your father to abdicate
The main function of Buddhism's prayer ceremony for Yang Guang is to tell the people of the world that the emperor is seriously ill, very serious, and it is likely to die, so the imperial court will ask Master Jiaxiang to pray for God to bless the emperor.
Then next, there will be a super festival for the soldiers who have died over the years, and the Taoist side is not idle, and they also set up altars to comfort the dead.
For a while, the entire eastern capital was full of smoke, and everywhere you went, you could smell the smell of burning.
And this period of time is the best period of time for the security of the whole Luoyang, because both sides are inviting the gods, and now that the gods are in Luoyang, no one dares to make a mistake.
Yang Jin's marriage was also completed, and Yang Ming's other son moved out of the East Palace and lived in the Wei Palace.
In April, the White Horse Temple and the Laozi Temple were repaired, Yang Ming took the name of Yang Guang General Bodhisattva and Wanshou Emperor, and ordered Su Kui of Honglu Temple to check the Taoist temples and temples in the world.
According to Cui Mintao's investigation, the fertile land occupied by these monks is as much as more than 9 million mu, which is really a shocking figure.
If you can get half of it back, the country will be rich.
Therefore, a great review of the monks and Taoists that affected the world was spread out throughout the country in the fifteenth year of the great cause.
This year, all of them have entered the office, entered the locality, and there are few who are the chief officials, most of them are subordinates, Yang Ming added a halo to them in order to give these people confidence: the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven.
It means that we are all disciples of Your Majesty, you landlords dare to bully us, and your Majesty is the master for me.
Yang Ming's ambition to ascend the throne has been revealed.
"The land of the Northeast, it's time to merge into the territory, the capital is autonomous for Hanhu, and the local power is actually still in the hands of that group of barbarians," Cui Mintao said: "Thousands of miles of fertile fields, if it can be reclaimed as fertile land, and the treasury is abundant, my Great Sui will no longer have the disadvantage of lack of food." β
At the court meeting, Cui Mintao proposed to use troops against the Northeast Waramurwei to occupy the entire Northeast region in one fell swoop, and then migrate a large number of people and open up the wasteland.
This plain area is a big piece of fat, but the ethnic situation there is too complicated.
"It's not proper," Pei Ju shook his head: "Until now, there are still rebellions in the old land of Goguryeo, this place is unstable, it is difficult to use troops to the north, Zhou Fa is still old, it is time to change someone to continue to pacify, and want to include the bitter cold land in the northeast into the territory, and today's national strength is difficult to support." β
Cui Mintao said: "Such a good place, but it is dominated by barbarians, and it is not good for farming, but it is nomadic for a living, which is really a tyrannical thing, even if you can't use soldiers at the moment, there is always a way to get land." β
Pei Ju still shook his head: "There is no trivial matter in external affairs, now that the northeast border has been stable for several years, it is not appropriate to raise troops again, this place cannot be fought, it can only be slowly plotted." β
After that, Pei Ju looked at Yang Ming and said: "You can set up a few trade places on the border to promote the trade exchanges between the Han people and the barbarians. β
Yang Ming deeply agreed.
In fact, they are immigrants, and the people in that place live very difficult, can they not want to come to the Central Plains? Those who are very willing, and those who have immigrated must also be the group of people who are very good in the tribe, because those who are not well mixed do not know how to change.
The household registration of the Great Sui is very valuable, until now, many Hu people who have been doing business in the Central Plains for half their lives have not been able to obtain the household registration of the Great Sui, and the Great Sui has not opened its household registration to the outside world.
The reason why Pei Ju suggested this is because he has very rich experience in the outside world and knows what those foreigners want most.
After seeing the prosperity of the Central Plains, it is difficult not to miss this place.
But there are still a lot of people who oppose Pei Ju's suggestion, and it is still old-fashioned, not of my race.
Yang Ming this time, he will not care about the thoughts of most people, Pei Ju's method is the best, you can take the Northeast without blood, no ethnic group can be as compatible as the Han people, and the integration of any ethnic group in history is either actively or passively infiltrated and assimilated by the Han people.
We now have four blood types: A, B, AB, and O.
Type B blood accounted for 20% of the total, mainly caused by the integration of Xiongnu, Turkic, Xianbei, Jurchen, Khitan, and Western Xia into the blood of the Han people.
Type A accounts for 40%, mainly distributed in the south, and evolved from the integration of ancient ethnic groups such as Chu, Miao, and Nanban into China.
Type AB is a mixture of Type B people going south and Type A people.
Type O is the earliest Han blood type, mainly distributed in the Central Plains, and the blood source is the Yellow Emperor and Dongyi.
This in itself is a great fusion of nationalities, Yang Ming is very willing to do this, the barbarians that the Great Sui now thinks are all a family in the later generations, and we are all descendants of the dragon.
So Yang Ming decisively supported Pei Ju, entrusted him with full authority in this matter, and let Pei Ju be responsible for completing the matter of opening the household registration within two years.
In fact, this method can also be implemented on the Western Turks and other tribes in the Western Regions, as well as in the Tibetan region, but we must not be in a hurry, because under such conditions in ancient times, things were done on a year-by-year basis, and we were not in a hurry.
Historically, during this period, Tubo should have risen to prominence and began to fight with the Tang Dynasty.
But not at the moment, if Tubo wants to enter the Great Sui, he has to go through the Hexi Corridor, the Western Turks are now very well-behaved, and they are already obedient to the Great Sui, if Tubo dares to come, I am afraid that they will be attacked by a group.
In June, Yang Guang was about to die, and he was already more out of gas and less in intake.
This is all thanks to Yang Lihua, her elixir has changed Yang Guang's face and turned black, and it looks like liver poisoning.
It is estimated that it is cirrhosis of the liver, which no one can save.
Empress Xiao, Yang Lihua, Yang Ming and other cadres of the clan and the palace are now in the palace.
Yang Lihua wept gloomily and kept crying.
No matter how much Yang Xiu hated Yang Guang before, now when he sees him like this, he keeps sighing, after all, he is a brother, and his heart is not a taste.
Everyone knows that there is such a day, and everyone knows that Yang Guang will choke his breath at any time.
They were all waiting for that moment to come, and the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple were already in Zhangluo.
"I still have to go back to Beijing, my father, queen and mother are all over there, and Amour can't stay too far away from them," Yang Lihua cried bitterly after saying this.
Yang Ming hurriedly nodded and said: "This is natural, I have already informed the Jingshi that on the west plateau of Wugong County, fifteen miles south of Tailing, the emperor's bed will be built, and Tailing is the same vein, looking at each other from afar." β
In ancient times, emperors were actually more popular to build mausoleums for themselves when they were alive, Yang Jian was like this, but Yang Guang did not.
I guess I am still fantasizing about my future career, and I still want to make a big difference, and I feel that I can live for a long time.
Therefore, the construction of his mausoleum was in a hurry, and the Beijing division urgently recruited 100,000 migrant workers, and was working overtime, even if Yang Guang died now, he would not delay entering the tomb, sealing the tomb, and sealing the soil and stone carvings in the follow-up murals, etc., you can take your time.
Anyway, the specifications will definitely not be small.
Yang Lihua looked at Yang Gongren and said, "You and Yang Xuangan both return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation, and I don't feel at ease if you hand it over to others." β
Yang Gongren hurriedly nodded: "I'll leave tomorrow." β
Now these in the palace are all a family, and they are also the largest gate valve in the Great Sui, and the head of the family, Yang Guang, is dead, so it is natural that he is still preparing for the mausoleum project, which is reassuring.
Among these people, there are few who are sad, Yang Guang has already broken their hearts, maybe his women are the saddest.
After all, without Yang Guang, the second half of their lives will be very miserable, and there is no need to worry about the standard of living, but men don't think about it, many of them are still in their prime age, and as soon as Yang Guang dies, they will have to be widowed.
For example, Langya Wang Zhuling, who is less than thirty this year, is a great beauty in Shui Lingling, and can only solve problems by herself in the second half of her life.
As for Empress Xiao, she is about to go through menopause, and she is basically not very interested in this kind of thing, if she is really interested, Yang Ming will definitely turn a blind eye, but others cannot.
"The imperial doctor said that there is something wrong with that pill, the toxicity has not been refined, it is far inferior to the elixir refined by Sun Simiao, the queen mother and aunt, it is better to stop, right?" Yang Ming said.
Since Yang Guang lost consciousness, Yang Ming allowed people from the Imperial Doctor's Department to enter the temple to investigate Yang Guang's condition, including Chao Yuanfang.
As soon as Chao Yuanfang saw it, he knew that this was poisoning, so he began to check Yang Guang's daily diet, and finally pulled out those pills, and dozens of imperial doctors each tasted some, and judged that the erysipelas in this pill had not been refined at all, and it was the culprit of His Majesty's poisoning.
Now it's okay, Yang Lihua was confused, and after calling Chao Yuanfang to ask, she was furious:
"Let the guards go to Feiyun Temple, and arrest all those stinky Taoist priests who are killed by heaven to this palace."
Of course, no one will complain about Yang Lihua, after all, people are kind, and she eats it herself.
Yang Lihua hurriedly looked at Empress Xiao and Yang Ming: "You two hurriedly throw it away, don't take it again." β
Do you still need to say this? Empress Xiao was also frightened, for fear that she would be soon.
Chao Yuan Fang said: "The ministers will study the antidote to this pill in the Imperial Doctor's Department, the eldest princess of the queen, please rest assured, Your Majesty is weak and has been taking it for a long time, so it will cause liver poison, and the two faces are pale, and there is no sign of poisoning." β
Yang Lihua and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Ming said: "On the way to the elixir, it still depends on Sun Simiao, I hope that he can't refine it, and others can't refine it, so my aunt must not try it easily in the future." β
Yang Lihua nodded in fear.
In the middle of the night, everyone dispersed, but they did not leave, and they all lived in the Huiyou Hall for the time being, and they had to guard Yang Guang.
In the main hall, Yang Ming was left alone, sitting in front of Yang Guang's sickbed, looking down at the biological father in this world in front of him.
In fact, in the past, Yang Guang was really very good to him, and the three brothers felt their father's love here in Yang Guang, without Yang Guang, there would be no Yang Ming today.
It's a pity that the world is impermanent, he is too capable of messing up and stirring up chaos in the world, and Yang Ming's sewing and mending over the years has gathered Yang Guang's lost hearts on him, so that the contradictions between father and son have gradually reached the point where they cannot be alleviated.
"If my father is a famous man of Qingjia, he must be a person who has been famous for the ages, but it's a pity" Yang Ming sighed: "Please abdicate with peace of mind, and your sons will take care of everything." β
Yang Guang on the sickbed, his fingers moved slightly. (End of chapter)
