The video played slowly. The scene changed and the background music became majestic.
"However, such a large garden could not contain his inflated ambition."
"He has a bigger plan-the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.”
"This is a huge project spanning more than 3,500 li. It connected the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River, and the Qiantang River. It took only four years to complete.”
"However, the price is also very high. There were 5.1 million people working for this project. When the project was over, 40 - 50% of the able-bodied men died of exhaustion, illness, or death.”
"When Sui Wendi was in power, the population was less than 50 million. Ten percent of the country's population was digging this river.”
"If you were to interview a commoner from the late Sui Dynasty and ask him if this project was impressive, he would definitely snatch your microphone and throw it into the river behind you.”
"But history always plays out in unexpected ways.”
"For more than a thousand years after the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Chinese people have benefited from it for generations. It allowed China's north and south to have a true traffic artery for the first time.”
"The prosperity of Jing, Yang, Su, and Hangzhou is all thanks to this river.”
"History gave him a chance to become a great emperor. Unfortunately, he squandered it.”
"After the Grand Canal was opened, Yang Guang built more than 40 palaces on both sides of the river. He went to Jiangnan three times, and each time, he had a fleet of thousands of ships that were connected from end to end for more than 200 miles.”
"The dragon boat he was riding had four levels and was two hundred feet long. The middle two levels had a hundred and twenty rooms, all decorated with gold and jade. It was a palace on water.”
"At that time, there were no engines. These ships were pulled by soldiers and able-bodied men. There were more than 80,000 trackers.”
"There's a poem as proof!"
"I know that the Sui Dynasty perished for this river.”
"As for the dragon boat incident of Wushui Hall, Gongyu's contribution is not much.”
"It means that this river is indeed powerful. If he didn't risk his life to court death, his contribution would not be inferior to Yu the Great.”
"Is he courting death just for the luxury tour? Of course not."
Then, the video changed from the Grand Canal to a battle scene.
"He has a big brother complex and is very concerned about his face. The Sui Dynasty's war with the Turks and Koryo was a battle of face for Big Brother.”
"The famous three expeditions against Korea was because the King of Korea refused to 'kneel down and call me father'.”
"Big Brother was very angry and set off with an army of 1.13 million. Unfortunately, he had lost the first two times. As soon as the third battle began, King Koryo could not fight anymore.[Brother, I'll admit it, okay?]
"In his ten years as emperor, he was either building big projects or fighting wars.”
"Every time he went out to war, he liked to use heroic poems to sing about his great cause.”
Seeing this, Yang Guang laughed out loud.
"Yes, yes!"
"Zhen's poems will definitely be excellent."
As he spoke, Yang Guang stood up and began to recite the poem he had just written while drinking.
"The autumn wind blows, and we travel ten thousand miles.”
"What can I do for ten thousand miles?”
"Little Qitai is wise, built by the previous sages.”
"Set up this strategy for ten thousand generations, and live in peace.”
After reciting, Yang Guang was drunk. He sat down on the throne again and lifted the chin of the beauty beside him. He smiled and said,"How is it?"
"How is my poem?"
The beauty naturally nodded with a smile and said,"Excellent."
Regardless of whether the beauty was perfunctory or not, Yang Guang was extremely happy.
"I'm not that coward Zhao Gou. I'm beating up outsiders!”
"Don't even think about being impudent in front of me!”
When Yang Guang saw this, he didn't understand some of the words, such as what the microphone meant.
However, he increasingly felt that Mr. Su Quan had placed him in the wrong position.
What he was talking about now was not many of his bad things!
It was all his own achievements!
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal would benefit future generations for a thousand years!
Three conquests against Korea, raising the prestige of China!
Wasn't this the credit of the one emperor in history?
"I am the one emperor in history, hahahaha.”
Yang Guang seemed to be talking to Yang Jian from another time and space. His voice became muffled.
"Father, you didn't choose the wrong person!"
"If the throne is handed over to big brother, that would be called a fallen country and a fatuous ruler!”
............
The video turned back, and as lines of words appeared, the background music began to turn low.
"Unfortunately, he really isn't a reliable emperor.”
"He once patrolled the Turks as 'Big Brother'.”
"He is sitting in a luxurious carriage. This carriage can accommodate hundreds of people.”
"'The Hu people were so shocked that they thought they were gods that they knelt down and kowtowed ten miles away. No one dared to ride their horses.'They all prostrated themselves under his wheels.”
"At that moment, Yang Guang felt that his face was bigger than the grassland, and he couldn't help but recite another poem:
"How can the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty ascend the Chanyu Platform in vain?」-- What Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty failed to do, I did it.”
At another time, when Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saw this, his mouth could not help but twitch slightly.
How could this involve him?
However, he did not say anything and continued to watch.
"The more shameless a person is, the more face-slapping they are.”
"His arrogance has finally angered the Turks.”
"Shibi Khan led hundreds of thousands of cavalry to attack the Sui army and surround Yang Guang.”
"Seeing that they were about to be wiped out, Yang Guang no longer slandered Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He quickly sent out an SOS signal and called for warriors from all over the world to come and rescue the emperor.”
"A Cloud Piercing Arrow, a thousand soldiers and horses come to meet.”
"The armies from all over the world have arrived, and Yang Guang has rescued him. His life is saved. However, the life of the Great Sui Empire was in danger.”
"Actually, there were signs from the beginning.”
"Building palaces, digging canals, building the Great Wall, raising taxes, conquering Koryo, attacking the Turks, a series of suicidal actions have long caused the people to be in dire straits.”
"First, there was a civil uprising. Following that was the mutiny, and the Great Battle of Heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty had already begun.”
"Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, what is the meaning of this?”Seeing these four words, the Ancestral Dragon was slightly stunned.
"These should be the names of two people. Looking at the first two words, it should be the peasant uprising. Why did these two people become the substitute for the uprising?”
At this moment, Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, did not know that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were the ones who rebelled against him.
At the same time.
Li Yuan and Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also noticed that they were mentioned in the video.
At that time, Li Yuan was near Yanmen, acting as a local governor to recruit warriors, recruiting death squads for Yang Guang, and also recruiting followers for himself.
His subordinate was a sixteen-year-old recruit who had just joined the army.
He was both intelligent and brave, and he had a maturity that far exceeded his age.
This new recruit was called Li Shimin.
Not long after saving Yang Guang, he died.
During the years of chaos, Li Yuan defeated all his opponents and won the grand slam.
A golden age was about to begin, and the peak of poetry was about to arrive.
Its name was the Great Tang.
