Yang Jian saw that his wife dared to suspect that the immortal had made a mistake. He was afraid that he would anger the immortal, so he quickly coughed.
"The Immortal definitely wouldn't make a mistake. Guang 'er must have made some mistake in his administration, right?”
Li Yang wasn't the kind of person who liked to keep people in suspense. When he saw Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo staring at him with questioning eyes, Li Yang immediately recounted all the major events that had happened from the year Yang Guang ascended the throne to the year he was hanged by Yuwen Huaji.
It was said that Yang Guang had defeated Goguryeo three times.
Yang Jian sighed." Guang 'er is also proficient in the art of war. Haven't you heard of the ancient saying that a master should not send an army out of anger?" Even if Goguryeo was a threat to Liaodong, they shouldn't have so easily mobilized their entire army. The wisest course of action would be to select one or a few Great Generals who were skilled in cavalry combat to harass and plunder Goguryeo first. When the Goguryeo soldiers were exhausted and the people were alarmed, they would send out an army to wipe them out.”
Li Yang nodded.
Yang Jian was indeed a strategist. In the later generations, Li Er and Li Zhi used this strategy to destroy Goguryeo.
Li Yang said that Yang Guang had recruited millions of civilian workers from all over the country in order to excavate the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. When the canal was completed, more than half of the civilian workers were killed or injured.
Yang Jian let out a long sigh. How could such a project be rushed? This time, wouldn't he lose the hearts of the people!”
Dugu Jialuo said,"Guang 'er doesn't look like a rash person. Why was he so impetuous after becoming emperor?!”
When Li Yang talked about Yang Guang's three expeditions to Koryo and the large-scale recruitment of civilian workers in Shandong, Wang Shu, a native of Shandong, finally raised his arm and shouted, opening the prologue of the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty with a song called " The Song of Death in Liaodong."
In the end, the Sui Dynasty lost its deer.
Yang Guang was strangled by Yu Guanghua in Jiangdu.
In the following ten years, the Sui Dynasty was filled with beacon fires and smoke.
Thirty-six roads rebelled against the king, and seventy-two roads were filled with smoke and dust.
Some were volunteer armies, while others were beast armies.
There was also the mo army that fed on human flesh.
By the time Li Tang unified the world, the population of the world had actually decreased by more than half.
It was precisely because Yang Guang destroyed the Great Sui Dynasty that he became the famous Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo looked at each other speechlessly.
Both of them saw despair in each other's eyes.
Never in their dreams would they have thought that the son they thought highly of would be the same as Huhai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty.
Seeing the expressions of the two old men, Li Yang smiled and said,""The two of you were actually deceived by your good son, Yang Guang. Not only did Yang Guang make mistakes in his administration, but his character was also worrying.
He was not only a perverted devil, but he was also extravagant in his actions. He was completely different from frugality.”
"What do you mean?"
Although Dugu Jialuo believed that Yang Guang wasn't a good emperor, he still couldn't believe that Yang Guang was actually an extravagant and lecherous person.
"He even dared to sleep with Imperial Father's concubine. If such a person isn't considered lecherous, then who is?”
" What?!"
Yang Jian didn't expect that the person who made him a cuckold was actually his son. He was so angry that his beard stood on end.
"As for Yang Guang's extravagance, I'll only tell you one thing.”
Li Yang smiled." In the fifth year after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he summoned all the foreign barbarians in the world to Chang 'an in the name of the Sage Khan. In order to show the prosperity and wealth of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang not only wrapped the trees on the official roads outside Chang 'an City with brocade, but also issued an edict that all food, clothing, and transportation of foreign envoys were free of charge.
No merchants were allowed to collect fees from foreign envoys. Otherwise, his entire family would be beheaded.
Unfortunately, foreign envoys were not so easily deceived. One foreign envoy asked the reception envoy of the imperial court,"Why do you wrap brocade silk around trees and not give it to those poor people who are not fully clothed?"
The receptionist was speechless.”
Yang Jian was so angry that he laughed. He sneered and said," This kid really knows how to play."”
"Uncle Yang, your chat time is almost up," Li Yang suddenly said seriously. Before I leave, I'll give you three words.
The first sentence was not to kill meritorious officials with suspicion, nor to intimidate the people with heavy punishment. What you did in your early years was completely the work of a wise ruler through the ages. However, in the last five years of your life, some of your actions greatly reduced your historical status.
The second sentence was to cripple Yang Guang. According to the medical knowledge of the later generations, your good son Yang Guang should be a schizophrenia patient. To put it simply, there was something wrong with his brain.
The third sentence was that even if Yang Guang was not crippled, he must dispel his absurd behavior of wrapping the trees with brocade and letting the foreign envoys eat and drink for free.
You don't know that Yang Guang's absurd behavior of treating foreigners as his father has caused disaster for thousands of years. It was really endless!
In the future, if I were to evaluate the top ten bad emperors in history, Yang Guang would be ranked in the top three based on this behavior alone.”
Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo looked at each other, then cupped their hands at Li Yang and said,""Thank you for your guidance, Immortal."
……
As soon as the video chat ended, Yang Jian told the eunuch beside him in a gloomy tone," Go to the Eastern Palace quickly and summon Crown Prince Yang Guangjin.”
"Brother Jian, what do you want?"
Dugu Jialuo and Yang Jian had been husband and wife for a lifetime, so he knew Yang Jian very well. Seeing Yang Jian's expression, Dugu Jialuo knew that he had the intention to kill him.
"Even if what the Immortal said is true, those things haven't happened yet. At least Guang 'er hadn't made those mistakes yet. You can't kill him for this reason.”
Yang Jian was silent. He then instructed a personal attendant beside him,"Bring me a spiked horsewhip.”
When the attendant brought the horsewhip into the hall, Yang Guang also followed the eunuch who had been summoned.
Seeing his parents, Yang Guang's handsome face immediately broke into a smile.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, you look even younger than yesterday. Could it be that he had obtained the immortal's elixir of immortality?”
These few days, Yang Guang had also been watching the light projection.
He didn't believe that the Great Sui would die in the second generation.
With such a wise and mighty monarch like him, the Great Sui would only be passed down for thousands of generations.
Those comments were obviously from someone harboring evil intentions and deliberately smearing him, the new Crown Prince.
Perhaps it was the warlock hired by the deposed Crown Prince, Yang Yong, who was behind this!
Yang Jian focused his eyes and carefully sized up his beloved son for the first time. He saw that Yang Guang's expression and eyes were filled with filial piety and sincerity, as if he sincerely hoped for his parents to live forever.
If he hadn't heard Li Yang's story, Yang Jian would have been fooled by Yang Guang's god-like acting skills.
Thinking that the empire he had painstakingly built would be completely ruined by this unfilial son, resulting in the destruction of the ancestral temple and the miserable state of the princes and grandchildren, the anger in Yang Jian's heart suddenly rose.
"You really are good at acting."
Yang Jian snatched the thorny whip from the attendant's hand and whipped Yang Guang's face, immediately making Yang Guang's face blood.
Yang Guang was stunned by this whip.
Before he could react, he was whipped a few more times.
Yang Guang immediately understood that his father was truly enraged. He immediately cried and hugged Dugu Jialuo's thigh.
In this world, only a mother could control a furious father.
His mother loved him the most and would definitely protect him.
