Chapter 296: All Living Beings Are Like Chess Pieces
Originally, a huge "extermination of Buddha" operation came to an end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Zixiang and the "demon" faced the pressure of Haotian God, and reluctantly reached an agreement of non-interference with each other, each choosing their own agents to compete for the world.
Not only do they have to compete with each other, but they also have to pay attention to the agents of the Haotian God hidden in the shadows.
The situation is becoming more and more complicated, and the signal for the beginning of this chess game is Yang Jian's death.
Renshou Palace, Yang Jian's residence, his last place of death.
He had been ill for a long time.
It is said that with his current skills, he will not fall to the point of lingering in the hospital bed for so long. But he was still sick, and he could feel that the life force in his body was gradually draining.
He should have died a long time ago! In fact, his life would have ended twenty years ago. It can be said that he stole it from God in the past 20 years.
He was a good emperor. Although the means of ascending the throne were not very glorious, but in his hands China ushered in a revival, which was his achievement, and it could not be discredited.
Yang Jian closed his eyes and recalled his life.
When he was a teenager, he was suspicious of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yu Wenyong because of his true dragon appearance, and even some people continued to slander him, preparing to eradicate himself, and he was forced to be a man with his tail between his legs. Later, his father Yang Zhong died, and he inherited the position of Duke of Sui (note), as well as the 200,000 tiger horses left by Yang Zhong, but he was still cautious, lest he provoke Yuwen Yong's murderous intentions, regardless of attacking himself.
Fortunately, he has a good wife in his family, although Dugu Jialuo is a woman, she is long-sleeved and good at dancing, and she has very good means, and has close contacts with the relatives of many high-ranking officials. Relying on these pillow winds, he attracted many high-ranking officials to say good things for him in front of Yu Wenyong, which saved his life and lived in peace.
Later, it was the court dispute between him and Wei Chiyuan.
This old horseman, although stupid and stubborn, is Yuwentai's nephew, who has made great contributions to it since the establishment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and can be described as loyal to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. And he is the founding father, Yu Wenyong will still listen to a few words when he says it.
Now that I think about it, Yuwen Yong really deserves to be a generation of heroes, and most of the contradictions between him and Wei Chi were deliberately guided by Yu Wenyong. Yuwen Yong is balancing, and one family cannot dominate the court. So whether it was him or Wei Chiyu, no one really had the upper hand.
After that, it was a dream-like abrupt situation.
After the death of Qi, Yuwen Yong also died of illness on the way to conquer the Turks, and Huaxia suddenly fell into a power vacuum.
With the help of the "Devil" and Zhang Zixiang, Yang Jian quickly turned back to Chang'an to seize power, and finally cleared all obstacles and ascended the throne as emperor.
Everything went so smoothly.
When did that change?
By the way, that was after the accession to the throne.
became the emperor and became the greatest supreme in the world, and from then on, he no longer had to fear anyone, nor did he have to look at anyone's face. The supreme power makes people lose and gradually get carried away.
So when he learned from Lu Xuanji that he only had four years left to live, he chose to sell without hesitation in exchange for these twenty years of yang life.
He has been hypnotizing himself for the sake of the Great Sui and the people of Li, so he had to choose to betray. Even if he knows that he is deceiving himself, because it will make his conscience better.
For this guilt, he also wants to work hard to be a good emperor. In fact, he did a pretty good job.
Dominate the world, split the Turks, crack down on the gate valves, create the imperial examination, purge the rule of officials, and recuperate...... The policies that were so difficult that the scalps of the emperors of the past dynasties were implemented precisely because of his support.
Wenzhi martial arts have reached their peak, all countries will come to the dynasty, and the prosperous era will come again. This is the dream of all Chinese people. And in his hands, these have become a reality.
At this time, he can confidently declare to the world that the Great Sui he established is for the rise of the entire Chinese nation!
As for those sordid pasts, they will become wild history that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and after a thousand years and eight hundred years, they will fade from people's memories and gradually disappear.
However, he still lost to time.
Twenty years in the blink of an eye.
Up and down the government and the opposition, the wind is surging. All forces are eyeing each other.
The Turks have been making more small moves lately, and his old friend Qimin Khan is also old, and he is gradually unable to suppress his three sons. The little wolf cub's teeth have grown together, and he is about to eat meat! And his Da Sui is that piece of fragrant and fatty meat! As long as the old wolf who was beaten and scared dies, these three little wolf cubs will definitely show their sharp fangs to Da Sui!
The family is not a vegetarian either, and is always on the move. Originally, the imperial examination system was created to check and balance these "emperors" who were above the imperial power. At the beginning, it can still receive some effects, although the poor student has a shallow foundation, but after one step to the sky, he will be more loyal. With his partial help, he can barely fight with those old foxes. However, the family deserves to be a family, and immediately found out the loopholes in the selection of scholars for the imperial examination, and installed a large number of children of the family to take the imperial examination. Those scholars from poor families still have to support their families and work in the fields during the day, and they can only read at night with the lights and nights; except for a few talented people, how can they beat those children of families who have been reading poetry and books since childhood! In the last few rounds of the imperial examinations, the top few people selected are all children of these families. The imperial examination system is now abolished!
There are also the old and young remnants left over from the Northern Zhou, Northern Qi, Southern Chen, Xiao Liang and other dynasties, one by one, they still think about the prosperity of the previous dynasty, they are full of hatred for the Great Sui, and secretly do not know how much opposition power they have accumulated, and they are always waiting to bite hard when the Great Sui relaxes his vigilance! It is a pity that in order to be able to dominate the world faster, he did not kill these people, which left so many tails. If he did it all over again, he wouldn't mind being a butcher of extermination!
And what worries him the most is that the Buddha and the Tao, the two powerful forces that are above the world! Even such a powerful man as Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyong, could not successfully solve this problem, and he was dying of old age, and he was even more powerless to change it. And his efforts over the years to weaken the influence of these two have always had little effect. Moreover, the whereabouts of the "demon" are also a mystery. He didn't believe that the "demon" would die so easily. According to his understanding of the "Demon", the "Demon" must be hiding in the shadows, even in his court, ready to take revenge on him at any time!
......
He knows all these problems, but he can't deal with them anymore!
Because, he's going to die!
The world is like chess, and all living beings are like chess pieces. He originally thought that he had jumped out and become the one who played chess. But as soon as the destiny came, he still couldn't escape birth, old age, sickness and death after all! Now that I think about it, he is still a "chess piece", but I don't know who this "chess player" is!
Yang Jian exhaled his last breath in this world and closed his eyes peacefully.
He was tired and had to rest.
Rest forever......
Note: The title of Yang Jian's family was originally Suiguo Gong. Yang insisted that the emperor disliked the word "Sui", so he changed "Sui" to "Sui". Here, in order to make it easier for you to read, I have been using the title of "Sui Guogong". I haven't written it before, and some of the examiners are not happy, so I'll note it here.
