Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty levied exorbitant taxes, conscripted the common people, and levied exorbitant taxes?
But in the end, this was only related to the farmers.
What does it have to do with your Li family?
The Li family was an official of the Great Sui Dynasty.
At the end of the day, it was still usurping the throne.
Moreover, the Li and Yang families had been in-laws for hundreds of years.
Li Yuan wouldn't even bring up the matter of stabbing his cousin's anus to the officials.
The Great Tang Imperial Court had a few unspoken rules.
The Great Sui Dynasty was one of them.
Not to mention, Tan Yang Guang.
Yang Guang was Li Yuan's paternal nephew and maternal cousin.
Moreover, Yang Guang was Li Shimin's father-in-law, Tai Shan.
Cheng Wu lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything.
The atmosphere turned cold.
Li Er: " When Yang Guang was young, he was a man of great talent and bold vision. He was proficient in military affairs and had little boldness of vision. After becoming the emperor, he was also a man of great talent and bold vision, but he was too fond of grandiose achievements. His temper became bigger and his mind became narrower.”
This evaluation was very fair.
The desire to achieve great things was a common characteristic of every tyrant in history.
However, the difference was that some people were talented and bold, while others were weak.
In the past, there was the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Sui Yang, all of whom were great talents and bold strategies.
Later, there was Zhao Guangyi, Emperor Qianlong, who was a weak chicken and liked to make great achievements.
Why was Yang Guang said to be a great talent?
The Grand Canal was as famous as the Great Wall in history, and it was even more useful than the Great Wall.
Water transport was already a big project in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was already the lifeline of the country.
This meant that Yang Guangyuan had seen through a thousand years in Great Sui.
Yang Guang's three conquests against Goguryeo, how bold was that?
If one didn't read the history books, one wouldn't know how he attacked the capital of Goguryeo.
Yang Guang did not send anyone to attack the capital of Goguryeo.
Instead, he used a sack to continuously dig and fill up a slope that connected the capital of Goguryeo to the city walls.
And it was done in all four places at the same time.
Yang Guang was prepared to use the cavalry to create the strongest siege battle loss ratio in history.
Such a person, do you think he is powerful?
Amazing.
What do you think of his personality? He was so extravagant.
If not for this idea, Yang Guang wouldn't have waited for the various factions to rebel within Great Sui before giving up on attacking Goguryeo and returning to Great Sui from Jiaodong.
If he had destroyed Goguryeo back then, Goguryeo wouldn't have become Li Shimin's greatest threat.
Li Shi Min actually had two sides to Yang Guang.
First, Yang Guang and Li Shimin were very similar. It was especially similar! It was so similar that it made one's hair stand on end.
The second was that Yang Guang had walked before Li Shi Min, which was a symbol of failure.
Li Shi Min would use Yang Guang to compare his actions to determine if he was being too radical.
If not for Yang Guang's warning, would Li Shiming have been willing to submit to the Turks and then exterminate the Eastern Turks?
No, Li Shi Min might fight the Turks to the death.
In the end, the Turks would be destroyed, and the Great Tang's destiny would be exhausted. In the end, it would be replaced by a minister, just like the Tang, Sui, and Zhou dynasties.
Li Shi Min didn't tell anyone about Yang Guang's evaluation.
This time, Li Er put aside his identity as Li Shiming and spoke his true thoughts.
Fang Yang slammed the table." That's quite a high evaluation. But aren't you afraid that the imperial court will find trouble with you?"”
Li Er was speechless.
Fang Yang: " Since Yang Guang likes to be grandiose, but at the same time, he has great talent and strategy. You said that Tuyuhun was successfully restored when he was in power. How do you think the Tuyuhun royal family controls Tuyuhun?"”
Li Er suddenly understood.
Yang Guang was a military genius. Although he was arrogant, he was indeed a genius.
Since Yang Guang had failed to stop the Tuyuhun royal family from regaining their power.
It meant that the Tuyuhun royal family had already controlled Tuyuhun to the extreme.
Cheng Wu interrupted," In that case, the Tuyuhun invasion of the border was definitely not a small tribe's harassment. It was the Tuyuhun royal family's…deliberate act.”
" Not only that," Li Er said in a deep voice." Xiao Fang reminded me. Based on the current situation, it's not just the Tuyuhun royal family who did this on purpose. They're also testing the Great Tang's reaction."”
"I heard that the Tuyuhun people crossed the border in small groups to rob people. Their methods were extremely cruel."”
With the army pressing down on the border, there had to be a siege to ensure the smooth flow of grain.
However, a small ambush could cross the border at any time. Although it could not enter the hinterland, it could still cause the border to be destroyed.
Fang Yang nodded." You're all quite smart. You figured out the problem immediately. But why were you so stupid before? You couldn't even figure it out and needed me to give you some pointers."”
Li Er was speechless.
Cheng Wu was speechless.
The two of them looked at each other and wanted to cry.
The Emperor of the Great Tang and the famous general of the Great Tang, their combined intelligence was despised…
Fang Yang replied," As for this diplomatic mission, it's easy to know if they're going to ambush the people and rob them on the way back.”
"The imperial court will send troops to observe the situation along the way. Once they discover that they are looting, we will immediately encircle and suppress them?" Li Er asked in a low voice.”
" Is it necessary…" Fang Yang said," I just said that you guys are smart, but you're confused again."”
Li Er was speechless.
" The imperial court doesn't need to deploy troops," Fang Yang said." We just need to count their numbers and the food they purchased in Chang 'an.”
"The envoy team will not enter the city along the way, so they will definitely purchase a large amount of food at once.”
"If the food isn't right, then there's a problem.”
"With just a simple calculation, I can tell where they will run out of food. That place is the place they planned in advance to start plundering.”
"I see!" Li Er suddenly realized. This is too simple."
Fang Yang added," It's simple, but it's a pity that you didn't expect it. I'm still the smart one. Wahahahaha!"”
Mu Yun watched the three of them chat and laughed secretly." Young Master Xiao Fang was really interesting.
