Chapter 554: The common people weep blood, and the smoke is everywhere

Yang Guang controlled some of the power of the court, but he was not satisfied, after all, he still had an emperor on his head. After taking control of some of the rights, most of the mountain that was originally pressing on his head was removed.

After there was no pressure, Yang Guang's mind involuntarily became drifting, and he began to become arrogant, and even coveted Yang Jian's concubines.

Even Yang Jian has slacked off and is a little addicted to beauty, and he has also discovered Yang Guang's changes. No matter what, Yang Jian is also a generation of heroes, although he is already mediocre, he still senses that something is wrong.

It's a pity that by this time, Yang Jian had already bought the palace people around him, and Yang Jian was already seriously ill at this time, and after learning that Yang Jian had the idea of replacing the prince, Yang Guang immediately decided to take the lead.

On the same day, Emperor Yang Jian's blood splashed on the screen.

On the seventh day of the fourth year of Renshou, Yang Jian died in the Great Treasure Palace.

Yang Guang, who had long been eager to become the emperor, wept bitterly over Yang Jian's corpse, and then ascended the throne as emperor.

Yang Jian ascended the throne for 24 years, during which he did not launch a large-scale war, and the society was stable.

Even though the Sui Dynasty had big problems in the household registration and local state and county systems, it was still a powerful, prosperous and wealthy empire.

After Yang Jian's governance, the Great Sui began to say that in the past hundred years, Zhuxia was the strongest in the era of national strength.

In this era, because of recuperation, the population multiplied, and the country became more and more prosperous.

At the same time, because of the promotion of the government military system and the progress of weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of the Great Sui soldiers at this time was also extremely strong. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to suppress the Quartet.

Yang Jian reformed the political system, replaced the system of three provinces and six ministries, strengthened the power of the central court, and at the same time opened the imperial examination system, preparing a channel for the lower classes to rise.

With such a rich family background, it is very likely that a prosperous dynasty will be created, but God played a joke on Zhuxia.

After ascending the throne, Yang Guang no longer had the former corporal Lixian, but became ambitious and self-serving.

After Yang Guang, who was not in the right position, ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to issue an edict to kill Yang Yong.

Immediately after that, Yang Guang began his grand blueprint.

Yang Guang changed the era name of Renshou to Daye, and it can be seen from this era name that he has great ambitions and wants to create a great cause.

Yang Guang's ability is indeed excellent, but his biggest problem is that he is so happy and ignorant and fearless.

He thought that the Great Sui was extremely strong and could be tossed at will, but in fact, any country has a limit.

When the people's power is poor.

In the first year of the Great Cause, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he immediately began to build the Eastern Capital, and ordered the people of the world to be conscripted, counting two million people per month.

At this time, after more than 100 years of war, Luoyang, the eastern capital, has long lost its former glory, and the entire city is dilapidated, and the area is less than a quarter of its heyday.

Yang Guang's edict ordered the construction of Luoyang to be completed within ten months, and at the same time ordered the construction of palaces in all parts of the world. Ordered a large number of craftsmen to build 10,000 dragon boats in Luoyang.

Yang Guang had always liked the south because he was the governor of Jiangnan, so he built a dragon boat to go to Jiangdu.

At this time, after a long period of war, the canals built by the Qianguo State had been silted up, and Yang Guang ordered the people to be recruited to dig the canal.

When large-scale construction was constantly being carried out in the country, Yang Guang did not wait, but ordered the army of the Sui Dynasty to open the road to conquest.

The Great Sui Heavenly Soldier Chen Bing was in the Turks, and the Turkic people, the overlords of the steppe, were afraid of the Great Sui soldiers, and personally came to bow down and surrender to Yang Guang.

Seeing the overlord of the grassland bowing down in front of him, Yang Guang was greatly satisfied, so he gave him a rich reward.

Immediately after that, Yang Guang began to attack Tuyuhun in the West Sea, and the warriors of the Great Sui were invincible in the West Sea, defeated the Tuyuhun people, and destroyed the Xihai Kingdom, Yang Guang set up counties here, and the Central Plains Dynasty once again recovered here.

The successive victories in the war gave Yang Guang great prestige, and the small countries around the Great Sui were afraid of the strength of the Great Sui and sent envoys to pay tribute.

Even some small overseas countries ruled by the Wang clan came to the Sui Dynasty one after another, and the purpose of these people was naturally not only to pay tribute to the Sui Dynasty, but also to let the Sui Dynasty defeat the Wang Dynasty.

These small countries sent envoys to cry and ask the Great Sui to uphold justice, but it is a pity that the Sui Dynasty at this time was powerless even if it had the heart.

The Great Sui did not yet have a navy that could sail far away, and you must know that those small overseas countries who came to pay tribute also came at the risk of capsizing their ships.

Less than half of the ships made it to the city.

These envoys came to pay tribute, Yang Guangda was happy, the Great Sui was mighty, and all countries came to the court. But these small countries in the latter asked the Great Sui to uphold justice, and Yang Guang's face was not good-looking.

He naturally wanted to agree, but the reality was that the Great Sui did not have a ship that could sail far away, and even if he wanted to help them, he was powerless.

Yang Guang felt a sense of shame at this time, and immediately wanted to order the craftsmen to build a large ship that could go to sea, but was quickly stopped by the ministers.

As for asking the Huai'an Wang clan for the crime, the Huai'an Wang clan said that the overseas Wang clan had already separated from them, and it was none of their business at all.

And Yang Guang, who calmed down, thought that he had other things to do, he wanted to tour the Jiangdu in the south, to attack and destroy Liaodong, now was not the time to go to sea, and the ministers of the court did not want to use troops overseas, it was too risky at sea.

After defeating Tuyuhun and the Turks surrendered, Yang Guang began to look at Liaodong. Liaodongguo has always been engaged in small actions in Youzhou, and Yang Jian repeatedly committed border offenses during his period, and was taught a few times by the Great Sui.

Later, when Yang Guang ascended the throne, Liaodong only sent envoys to congratulate him, which was very perfunctory, which was hated by Yang Guangji, who was upright and full of ambition.

Therefore, after conquering the Xihai Kingdom and submitting to the Turks, they began to prepare to deal with the Liaodong Kingdom. In order to deal with the Liaodong Kingdom, Yang Guang built the Grand Canal. Grain supplies can be transported directly to Youzhou with the help of canals.

But Yang Guang only cared about his own great cause and did not have the slightest mercy for the people. Years of conquest and a large number of conscriptions have made the people miserable.

Originally, the Wang family wanted to develop secretly, but within a few years, there were bandits everywhere, and even peasant uprisings had appeared in many places.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Wang family began to recruit fugitive refugees. Yang Guang's various operations have completely stunned the Wang family, and Wang Xuanze even scolded: "Yang Guang's only husband, it's not a pity to die, it's so tyrannical, if the Great Sui is not overturned, heaven will not tolerate it!" ”

The whole world has become exhausted by the continuous construction of palaces, canals, and conquests.

Because a large number of people were conscripted to build canals, the land in many places was no longer cultivated, and the Wang family secretly continued to absorb the population because of the grain in their hands, and at the same time, the taxes collected by the imperial court were also fully completed.

Even Huai'an's taxes were higher than before, making Yang Guang think that Huai'an was loyal.
