The next morning, Song Yang woke up from his deep sleep. He turned his head and looked at the beauty sleeping soundly on the bed. He felt that everything was still in a dream.
The beauty sleeping on the bed was delicate and beautiful, but also incomparably noble. It was Empress Xiao, the mother of the Great Sui Dynasty. At this time, she was covered with a brocade quilt and was sweetly immersed in her dreams.
Song Yang couldn't help but quietly stretch out his strange hand, gently caressing her smooth skin, quietly admiring her beautiful face.
As if she had sensed Song Yang's movements, Empress Xiao let out a soft moan and slowly woke up. She saw Song Yang looking at her with a faint smile, and felt Song Yang's big hands already making mischief all over her body. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Xiao Meiniang gently twisted her body, feeling weak and weak. She said in a delicate voice,"Your Majesty, don't be like this. You still have morning court. After the court session, ChenQie is willing to do whatever you want.”
In fact, the world was in chaos now, and the Emperor was disheartened. He rarely paid attention to the major events in the court. Xiao Meiniang had tried to persuade him several times before, but they all failed.
However, she now felt that Song Yang was a little different from before. That was why she wanted to work hard and hope that Song Yang would turn over a new leaf and care about the government.
It had to be said that a woman's intuition was very accurate. The emperor was indeed not the emperor of the past. The one who was sharing the bed with her now was Song Yang...
"Zhen loves the country and loves beauties even more. There's still some time before the court. Zhen wants to eat you up first before dealing with the country's affairs.”
He had just woken up in the early morning, when men were full of energy. Song Yang was already full of sperm, and the touch from his hand made his heart itch even more. Song Yang couldn't care about anything else, and pulled Empress Xiao into his arms.
Seeing that Song Yang was willing to listen to her advice and care about the government, Empress Xiao's eyes flashed with joy.
At this moment, she was in Song Yang's arms. The two of them were naked and touching each other. Recalling the madness last night, Empress Xiao's face blushed even deeper.
He looked at the beautiful empress, who seemed to be happy and a little shy. Her eyes were watery, as if she wanted to refuse but was also welcoming him.
Song Yang was secretly delighted. It was good to be an emperor. He had decided that no matter what, he must do a good job as an emperor!
In a trance, the two of them became one again, and the room was filled with spring again. Everything was said without a word…
After an unknown amount of time, the sky was already bright. At this time, Song Yang was sitting in the main hall of the royal study. He was sitting on a gilded dragon chair and reading the latest battle report. He had a headache.
This morning, after he had finished washing up under Empress Xiao's watch, he suddenly went to the Imperial Censor's Pavilion with his personal guards and flipped through all the memorials he had received recently in the royal study.
Song Yang recalled the contents of the original novel and then combined it with the memories in his mind.
Ever since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he had been out on patrol every year and had never settled down. In order to satisfy his extravagant life, he had built palaces and courtyards everywhere.
Among them, the most famous ones were Jiangdu Palace, Linjiang Palace, Jinyang Palace, Luoyang Xiyuan, etc. The situation of squandering was very serious.
Not only that, during his reign, in order to build Luoyang, the eastern capital, he used up to two million men every month. Moreover, he had developed sections of the Sui Grand Canal and transferred more than three million civilians and soldiers from Henan, Huaibei, Huainan, Hebei, and Jiangnan. After that, he built the Great Wall in the east and transferred 1.2 million men twice.
During this period, more than half of the people who were enslaved were killed or injured. In total, more than ten million civilians were recruited and disturbed in more than ten years. On average, there was more than one person in each household, causing the tragic scene of "the world died in service".
Not only that, after he ascended to the throne, he went on a campaign against Tuyuhun, the Turks, Goguryeo, and many others, mobilizing millions of men and collecting countless treasures.
As a large number of soldiers and civilian workers died on the battlefield and in labor, the able-bodied men were killed by arrows, the old and weak were filled in the ravines, the people lost their jobs, a large amount of land was abandoned, and the social economy was seriously damaged.
In addition, the Sui Dynasty imposed heavy taxes, making it difficult for the people to survive. In the end, it triggered a large-scale peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
The rapidly rising peasant uprising dealt a heavy blow to the Sui Dynasty's ruling class.
During this period, Yang Guang didn't think about repentance. Instead, he tried to stop the development of the uprising forces and used even more bloody policies to suppress the peasant uprising. This caused more civilians to join the uprising army, which eventually developed into a national scale.
After this, Yang Guang was unwilling to face the reality of the peasant uprising. Instead, he was disheartened and favored the sycophants. He did not care about the state affairs and did not want to hear the news of the people's uprising. He handed over the memorials to the sycophants to handle on his behalf.
As a result, the entire world was filled with rebels, and they continued to conquer the counties. The uprising army's strength grew rapidly. Yang Guang didn't know about this and didn't want to believe it.
Even though they had seen the memorial, because the sycophants had lied that the number of enemy bandits was small and that they did not send many troops, it directly led to the disparity in strength between the two sides, resulting in the defeat of the government troops.
Song Yang, who knew all of this from history and the original works, would naturally remedy the situation immediately. He directly brought the royal guards to the internal history archives and threw the few sycophants he had previously favored into the imperial prison. Then, he moved all the memorials from the recent period to the royal study.
It was simply impossible to know without looking at it. When he saw it, he was shocked!
North:
Zhang Xutuo, the ambassador of the twelve counties of Henan Province, was killed in an ambush by Li Mi of the Wagang Army. The fall of the Sui Dynasty's War God Pillar caused Rongyang Prefecture to fall and endanger Luoyang.
Dou Jiande successively defeated the Sui generals, occupied Hebei called the general, the number of soldiers reached 100,000.
Zhu Can took advantage of the chaos to cause disaster. He called himself King Garuda. With the plunder as his capital, he led more than 100,000 thieves to fight and plunder in Jingzhou and other places. Wherever he passed, there was no one...
South:
Lin Tuhong claimed to be the king of Chu, captured Yuzhang County and other places, gathered more than 100,000 troops.
Li Zitong claimed to be the general, with tens of thousands of troops, occupied Hailing.
Du Fuwei has Jianghuai refugees, soldiers to hundreds of thousands, is plotting to attack Liyang...
In the end, all sorts of small groups of rebel soldiers and bandits took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
Not only that, but there were also undercurrents within the imperial court, and there were also the Turks, Goguryeo, Tiele, and other foreign races lurking outside. After careful analysis, Song Yang finally understood how bad his situation was!
"What a mess. We have to fix it as soon as possible!”Song Yang, who was sitting on the dragon throne in the main hall, could not help but sigh.
He was familiar with the historical development of the original novel. He knew that if he did not think of a countermeasure in time, the Wa Gang Army would continue to attack one of the four granaries of the Great Sui Dynasty, Xingluo Granary.
Then, they opened the granaries to release food and absorbed hundreds of thousands of refugees. Then, they surrounded Luoyang, the eastern capital, and became the most powerful uprising army in the world with the hope of overthrowing the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty.
After that, Li Yuan, Duke of Tang, took advantage of the fact that Yang Guang and the 100,000 Xiaoguo Army were far away in Jiangdu, and Chang 'an was empty. In addition, Luoyang was surrounded and could not be divided to help. He attacked Chang' an in one fell swoop and occupied the rich land in Guanzhong.
The Xiaoguo Army that followed Yang Guang to Jiangdu were mostly people from Guanzhong. They were worried about the safety of their families because of the fall of Guanzhong. They were eager to return. They had already sensed that the end of the Great Sui Dynasty was coming. There were constantly soldiers and civilians fleeing, and the morale of the army was lax.
In the end, Yuwen Huaji of the Yuwen clan used this to join forces with the commander of the Vigor Army, Sima Dekan, to launch a mutiny, causing Yang Guang to lose his life in Jiangdu…
Although there were more than a dozen palace maids and many royal guards on both sides, they did not dare to breathe too heavily at this moment. This was because anyone with eyes could see that the Emperor sitting in the main hall now had a gloomy expression and was in a very bad mood.
Seeing this situation, they all stood in their positions and didn't dare to breathe loudly, afraid that if they were careless, they would anger Long Yan and end up in a miserable state.
The hall was completely silent…
(P.S. The first few chapters will introduce the background of the novel. The progress will be relatively slow, and the pace will gradually increase.) I hope that the readers who think it's not bad can help me vote and give me some flowers. Thank you, author!
By the way, I would like to explain here that the article did not deliberately smear Yang Guang. It was just that the original novel of the Tang Dynasty's Twin Dragons did write Yang Guang as muddle-headed and incompetent. After all, the author was a fan of the original novel and did not like to add things that were not in the original novel, so he could only compare it with Baidu Encyclopedia and the original novel. I hope readers can forgive him...)
