Chapter 54: Re-entering the Yang Mansion 1

When the young man saw that it was the car of the Yue Guo Mansion, he got off the cow and paid homage: "The late Jing Zhao Li Mi, meet the Yue Guo Gong." ”

Yang Su asked again: "What book do you hold in your hand?" ”

Li Mi replied: "I am reading "The Biography of Xiang Yu" in my later life. ”

Yang Su muttered "The Biography of Xiang Yu" twice, and then asked: "Why do you read "The Biography of Xiang Yu" and not "Xiang Yu Benji"? ”

Li Mi replied: "The Xiang family started in Longmu, and in three years, the five princes destroyed Qin, divided the princes, and issued a decree, called the overlord of Western Chu.

Xiang's management of the world for five years, so Taishi Gong made "Emperor Ji" for it, not into the "Biography".

Taishi Gong used a criminal minister of the Yan Han Dynasty to say that the Xiang family was a descendant of Emperor Shun Miao, and praised it and said: "Although the position is not final, since ancient times, there has never been one.

How can such courage and insight be matched by Banlantai? Reading "The Biography of Xiang Yu" in his later years, he admired Tai Shigong's outstanding insights. ”

The style of the "Historical Records" is to describe the emperor, the "Family" to remember the candidates, and the "Biography" to chronicle the characters.

Since the "Book of Han", there are only "Benji" and "Liebiography" in historical books, and there is no "Family".

Sima Qian's "Benji" for Xiang Yu was officially included in the imperial ranks.

Yang Su asked why he didn't read "Xiang Yu Benji", and Li Mi replied by quoting the text in "Xiang Yu Benji".

Not only did he skillfully argue that he did not fail to read "Xiang Yu Benji", but also compared Sima Qian with Ban Gu, explaining that he read "Hanshu. After the Biography of Xiang Yu, I became more and more impressed by the "Historical Records. Xiang Yu Benji's insights are outstanding.

Ban Gu wrote the "Book of Han" when he was the Lantai Lingshi, and later generations compiled his essays as the "Banlantai Collection".

Li Mi called Bangu "Banlantai", implying that he had also read "Banlantai Collection".

What kind of character Yang Su is, he naturally comprehends the various mechanisms in Li Mi's words, and can't help but praise him a lot, bring him back to the mansion, and let him assist Yang Xuangan.

Li Mi originally used Xuandi as the word, but because he regained the name of the Yang brothers, he used the word "Dharma Master" as the word.

Pharmacist Li cleverly recommended Li Mi to the Yue Guo Mansion, but he was still serving in the palace.

Yang Guang coveted the throne for a long time, and in the process of seizing the throne, in order to win the heart of his father and queen mother, he was aggrieved and happy, and tried his best to hide his voice, lust and material desires, which was inevitably painful.

Now that he has become a big treasure, of course, he must compensate arbitrarily.

Pharmacist Li guarded the emperor's side and saw Yang Guang's actions very clearly.

Soon after Yang Guang's succession, he listened to the words of the warlock and thought that Chang'an was not good for him, so he moved to Luoyang.

In order to consolidate Luoyang's defense, he requisitioned hundreds of thousands of people, dug trenches around the city outside Luoyang City, and set up guards along the line.

In the following year, he changed the great cause of the Yuan Dynasty, and ordered Yu Wenkai to build a new city in the west of the old Luoyang City, which was similar in scale to the Daxing City built in the Yang Jian era, which was called Tang Chang'an City in later generations.

As many as 2 million people are involved in this project every month.

After the completion of the new Luoyang City, it was the eastern capital of the Sui Empire.

Relative to the eastern capital, Chang'an is known as Xijing.

Yang Guang also ordered Yu Wenkai to build the Xianren Palace of the nature of the garden on Luoshui, and its project was carried out at the same time as the construction of the eastern capital, and the strange materials and strange stones were collected from the south of the Yangtze River, and the rare birds and beasts were imported from the border, and the Linghua Zhicao was collected from all over the country.

In the same year, the West Garden was built again, and the mountains were built by hand to dig the sea, and the palaces were widely placed on the mountains in the sea.

Yang Guang roamed the garden with thousands of palace people on a moonlit night, and wrote the "Night Tour" by the royal pen, and ordered the palace people to ride horses and play it to help the tour.

The most famous canal project of the Sui Dynasty was also carried out at the same time.

The excavation of the canal began with Emperor Wen, when the canal was opened to facilitate the transportation between Kannai and Kanto.

After the completion of the chiseling, the transportation between Chang'an and other parts of the East was greatly improved, and Chang'an became the greatest city in the world in the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Guang continued to dig the canal, but for fun.

In this year, the Jiqu and Hangou were opened, starting from Xiyuan, entering the Yellow River in the east, and then connecting Huaishui in the south, leading to Jiangdu.

The canal is forty steps wide, and there are royal roads on both banks, and willows are planted all over; There are more than 40 places along the way, and this project alone has requisitioned more than 1 million people.

Since the canal was dug up, Yang Guang carried thousands of harems and went south from the eastern capital with the accompanying officials to visit the Jiangdu.

The emperor's dragon boat was 45 feet high and 200 zhang long, and there were thousands of phoenixes, red ships, building boats, and boats.

There are countless silk silks on both sides of the ship, and 80,000 women are recruited to pull the boat forward.

This great fleet was connected for more than 200 miles, and there were cavalry escorts on both sides.

All the prefectures and counties along the way must offer food, and the food offered must not only be rare on land and water, but also have to go through layers of picking.

At this time, there were only more than 8 million households and more than 40 million people in the country.

Yang Guangda built the construction project, and the burden of the people's forced labor was really unbearable.

Fortunately, at that time, the Sui Empire was full of warehouses, and its wealth and strength were far greater than those of previous dynasties, so it was not too poor for the people.

However, the prosperity and strength of the Sui Empire were all laid by the generation of Emperor Wen.

Yang Jian has been diligent and thrifty for more than 20 years, and has accumulated a huge inheritance, which is just for Yang Guangzuo to squander extravagantly.

In addition to building palaces, digging canals, and visiting the Xingjiang capital, Yang Guang also used troops abroad.

In the first year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent troops to the south to march south to Linyi in the eastern part of today's Indochina Peninsula, just to hear that it produced strange treasures.

Although the battle was won, the soldiers of the southern expedition were not accustomed to the soil and water, and half of them were killed and wounded due to illness.

In the same year, the Khitan entered the Kou, and the Great Sui was rich and strong at that time, and it was easily defeated.

Although Pharmacist Li once went east to Luoyang with the emperor, he did not go south to Jiangdu.

In August of this year, as soon as the dragon boat came out, he returned to Chang'an to see Yang Su.

Although Yang Su lacks the amount of tolerance, after all, he is still a generation.

If he had a little less selfishness, he would have been succeeded by Yang Yong back then, and he might not have been able to assist Pharmacist Li in assisting the Tang family in achieving great things in the future.

Regarding Emperor Yang of Sui's extravagance, Yang Su also tried to discourage him at that time, but he was hesitant to do so.

The emperor ordered Yang Su to stay in Xijing and not let him serve in front of the emperor, so as not to have to listen to this old minister's words and annoy people.

When Pharmacist Li was transferred back to Beijing a few years ago, he had met Yang Su.

At that time, this seventy-and-a-half-year-old Shangshu Ling was full of spirit and majestic momentum, and there was not much difference from his 60th birthday.

Goodbye today, Yang Su was supported by a group of women, not only walking in an old state, but even his figure seemed to be not as majestic as before.

In just one year, the changes were so great that Pharmacist Li was shocked, panicked, and even a little sympathetic.

Yang Su seemed to have already known what Pharmacist Li was going to say here, so he said, "The old man is dying of old age, and he has been feeling more and more powerless recently.

Pharmacist, it's up to you young people from now on! ”

Before Pharmacist Li came here, he had already deduced Yang Su's various possible reactions, and at this time he talked eloquently: "Taishi, the younger generation originally knew Wang Mang and Cao Cao's generation, but it was not enough to compare with Taishi.
