After this sentence, Yang Guang was silent.
Yang Guang liked to cruise very much.
He has been in office for more than ten years.
Three rounds of inspection in Jiangdu, three rounds to Zhuo County, one round to the right side of the river...
There was almost no year that he did not go on a cruise.
But…
At this moment, Yang Ye was also looking out of the window.""All these years, you've been standing too high up. You've only set your sights on the top.”
"But I forgot that the most important thing to be an emperor is to look down.”
For a moment, Yang Guang was stunned.
Sitting in the carriage, he kept muttering,""Do you want to look down?"
After a long silence, Yang Guang said,"So, you brought me out of the palace today just to see this?”
Yang Ye shook his head." Of course not. You'll know when we get there."”
After that, the carriage brought Yang Ye, Yang Guang, and Li Xiu Ning out of the city.
Soon, the few of them left the city.
They left the city.
The more he went out of the city.
The situation of the people was getting worse.
After they left the city.
The commoners gathered outside the city were all dressed in rags.
Yang Guang narrowed his eyes and looked at the commoners.
Almost all of them had families.
There didn't seem to be any place to stay.
Many people lay numbly under the city wall, not moving at all.
The slightest bit of food would attract a wave of fighting.
A piece of vegetable leaf, or even a small piece of steamed bun.
However, it was extremely precious here.
It might even lead to a bloody battle.
Slowly, Yang Guang fell silent.”
Yang Ye's expression was calm as he said word by word,""The refugees who can't survive near Luoyang.”
Yang Guang could not help but poke his head out.
He looked over.
It was a dark mass below the city wall.
There was simply no end to this large group of refugees.
The sheer number simply made Yang Guang's scalp go numb.
At this moment, Yang Guang's face was slightly pale.""Just how many refugees are there!？”
"About 300,000 to 400,000." Yang Ye smiled. However, a large number of refugees died every day. However, at the same time, a large number of refugees gathered in Luoyang again.”
Instantly, Yang Guang's pupils constricted.
"So many refugees? This, this is Luoyang!”
Yang Guang knew that there had always been refugees gathering outside Luoyang City.
However, in the past year.
Yang Guang Du was busy moving the capital.
Yu Shiji, Yu Wenhua, and these people had never told Yang Guang about the situation of these refugees.
Or rather, for the Yang Guang of the past.
They did not care about the situation of these refugees at all.
Until today.
Yang Guang looked at the densely packed refugees outside the city and felt his scalp go numb.
One had to know that the entire Luoyang City did not have more than a million people.
However, there were 300,000 to 400,000 refugees outside the city…
Looking at the silent Yang Guang, Yang Ye smiled,"Many? Was this a lot? Otherwise, with so many people rebelling in Great Sui, if they were not living, would they dare to rebel?”
"How prosperous was the Great Sui back then? The country was rich, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.”At this moment, even Li Xiu Ning, who was beside Yang Guang, could not help but say,"In the ten-plus years since you took the throne, you have conquered Goguryeo three times, built the canal, imposed heavy taxes and corvee, and imposed harsh policies.”
"The people are suffering. There are more than ten million people in Great Sui who can't survive. I can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood!"
Yang Ye and Li Xiu Ning's words were like two heavy hammers that hammered on Yang Guang's body.
"The sufferings of the people…"
Yang Guang's face was devoid of any color, and his entire body was trembling.
After a long time, he raised his head with a bitter expression.
He blankly looked at Yang Ye beside him,"Is this the answer you gave me?”
Yang Guang did not expect this.
The answer that he had been thinking about for the past few days was actually so simple?
Yang Ye glanced at Yang Guang and his expression became much more solemn,"No matter what kind of ambition you have, what kind of ambition you have. However, as the emperor, the most important thing for you is to let the people live.”
"You've been putting the cart before the horse all these years. The commoners can't live anymore. What's the point of you being the emperor?”
Yang Guang seemed to be frozen in place.
He slowly closed his eyes and said after a long time,"Is that so? I understand."
"I didn't expect that after pondering for so long, this would be the answer.”
At this moment.
After Yang Ye's words, even Li Xiu Ning looked at Yang Ye with a surprised expression.
Yang Ye's actions in the past.
Li Xiuning thought.
This was another tyrant like Yang Guang.
But he did not expect that Yang Ye actually had such knowledge and awareness.
Li Xiu Ning frowned and asked curiously,""I remember that you've been living in the Cold Palace for almost eighteen years. How can you have such knowledge?”
Yang Ye smiled and did not say anything.
Li Xiuning didn't answer when she saw Yang Guang.
"So what if you don't say it? If you had ascended the throne a few years ago, you might have been able to turn the tide. But now, Great Sui's fate was over.”
"Not to mention the Great Sui, you can't even solve the hundreds of thousands of refugees in Luoyang.”
"Is that so?" Yang Ye was still smiling.”
Before he could finish, the carriage continued forward.
On the other side, a shout suddenly sounded,""It's time to release the food! The Imperial Court has released rations!"
For a moment, Yang Guang and Li Xiu Ning's eyes were focused on Yang Ye.
