Chapter six hundred and twentieth the clear-headed Yang Jian
The long corridor was filled with stern-looking house officers, and people kept shouting, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has an audience!"
This was a reminder to avoid the inner palace. When Yang Guang walked to the steps of his father's palace, he stopped. At this time, his father's concubines were all beside the bed. He had to wait for them to step back and get permission before entering. After a moment,
A eunuch came out and came forward to salute Yang Guang, "Your Highness, the Holy Spirit declares your presence before me!"
"My lord, how did my father wake up? Is there any sign beforehand?"
The eunuch known as Wang Gonggong thought for a moment and whispered: "In the evening, Concubine Chen went in with two chamberlains and two maids to visit the Holy One. Within half an hour, the Holy One woke up. At this time, Concubine Chen was still there.
inside."
When Yang Guang heard this, his expression darkened, he nodded, and walked towards the palace with a twinkling light in his eyes.
Concubine Chen Guifei is also the youngest sister of Empress Chen, and the sister-in-law of Chen Danying. After the fall of the Chen Dynasty, she did not enter the palace. She was very beautiful and beautiful, and she was quite popular with Yang Jian. However, Queen Dugu was strict and Yang Jian could not succeed. Dugu
After the queen's death, Concubine Chen was immediately favored.
At this time, she saw that Yang Jian was coughing badly, so she quickly patted his back and smoothed his chest. Yang Jian slowly calmed down and whispered: "Your Majesty, after you fell into coma, the prince deliberately ordered the imperial doctor not to treat you properly.
The treatment has kept you in a coma. I saw the prince's evil intentions, so today I specially found a folk doctor to dress up as a chamberlain, but your majesty was easily awakened by this doctor."
Concubine Chen disliked Yang Guang very much. She grew up in the deep palace of the Chen Dynasty and was taught that the eldest son should be in an orderly manner, with the eldest son taking precedence. She was extremely dissatisfied with abolishing the eldest son and establishing a second son. More importantly, it was Yang Guang who
Led the army to destroy the Chen Dynasty, which filled her heart with overwhelming hatred for Yang Guang.
What Concubine Chen said was reasonable and well-founded, but Yang Jian couldn't help but not believe it. He was so angry that his body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "I want to ask this evil son myself. If this is true, I will destroy him."
In front of the dragon bed, Concubine Chen had already retired, with only a few eunuchs serving her. Although Yang Jian woke up at this time, he was as thin as bones and his face was as gold as paper, giving people a feeling that the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry.
These days, others think that Yang Jian is in a coma, but only Yang Jian knows that he is not in a coma. His brain is awake most of the time and is in a very strange state, so he has been thinking about a lot of things these days.
When people are about to die, what Yang Jian thinks about these days are all his deceased relatives, his parents, his Acharya, and his old wife who has been with Rumo for decades. But he is still worried. He has created a new world with his own hands.
The Sui Dynasty had just been established, and there were still too many major events that had not been dealt with. These major events were dangerous and extremely dangerous. One mistake would destroy the empire he created. He had been in power for more than 20 years, but he still could not take action. In the end, he could only deal with these major events.
The matter was handed over to his son. But he is still hesitant as to which son to hand it over to.
It was originally going to be given to the youngest son Yang Liang, King of Han Dynasty, but this scoundrel actually colluded with the demons of the Western Regions and almost killed him. Apart from that, only the former prince Yang Yong and the current prince Yang Guang were left. To be honest, these two
None of his sons could satisfy him.
From the time Yang Yong was established in the first year of the founding of the Emperor to the time he was deposed in the 20th year of the founding of the Emperor, he served as the crown prince for a full twenty years. To be honest, his character was tolerant and easy-going, and he was willful and willful. He was especially courteous and virtuous, and he was deeply favored by the court.
The support of ministers and famous people.
There is a strange pattern in history. Many second-generation heirs of dynasties have a tragic ending. Fusu of Qin, Liu Ying of Han, Yang Yong of Sui, Jiancheng of Tang, Dezhao of Song, and Zhu Biao of Ming.
But Yang Yong's tragedy was caused by his character and governing philosophy. If it were the Han or Tang Dynasties, or even any dynasty except the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yong would most likely be a wise monarch who was well-liked by everyone, but he was born in the Sui Dynasty.
towards.
Yang Yong's weak shoulders cannot bear the changes of this special era, hundreds of years of division of the world, countless short-lived dynasty changes, the social structure of Hu Qiang and Han weak, the hostility between the north and the south, the powerful families who are in conflict with the imperial court, and the deep-rooted Nine
The character is upright, the Guanlong dignitaries who are on par with the imperial power, the powerful Turks who are eyeing him, the one after another border troubles and turmoil, and so on.
Facing the crisis-ridden New Sui Empire and the extremely powerful clan groups, Yang Yong's benevolence and easy-going seemed to be inadequate. He could only be a conservative monarch who was good at compromise, but by no means a strong emperor who resolved crises and forged ahead. In this way
If he is not careful, he will become the puppet of powerful ministers and nobles, and eventually even lose his country. Just like the process of Yang Jian gaining his son-in-law's country.
Therefore, after Yang Yong had been the crown prince for twenty years and became the emperor for twenty years, Empress Dugu, who had seen through Yang Yong and his character, strongly persuaded Yang Jian to finally make up his mind to abolish him and replace him with the more ambitious second son Yang Guang.
as heir.
But Yang Jian forgot one thing. Yang Guang has been in Yangzhou for nearly ten years and has been pacifying and governing the south. He does not have much power in the court. Yang Guang's power is the military and the southern Chinese. Among the noble families and the court in the north,
The foundation was shallow at first.
But Yang Yong has been the prince for twenty years, and he has a stronger support force, which is some of the important officials of the imperial court headed by Xiangguo Gao Xi and the Guanlong Group headed by the Yuan family. After Gao Xi was demoted, the important officials who supported Yang Yong
He and some aristocratic families changed their tune overnight, seemingly recognizing Yang Guang's position as the crown prince, but no one actually knew what he thought. Until the past ten years, he spent a lot of money and thought to make friends with ministers.
He gradually made up for his shortcomings in the court by working with various powerful families.
"Your Majesty! The prince has arrived." A eunuch reminded him gently in his ear.
"My son, I pay homage to my father. Congratulations to my father for waking up. I wish my father a speedy recovery." Yang Jian weakly opened his eyes and saw his son Yang Guang kneeling in front of him. His face was already covered with tears, and the cold color in his eyes softened slightly.
, I have some doubts about what Concubine Chen just said. The most important thing is that he has no choice. Although he doesn't like Yang Guang very much and prefers Yang Yong, he has long been convinced by the influence of Queen Dugu over the years.
It is difficult for Yang Yong to hold a big position. He can't pass the throne to Yang Liang, who colluded with the demons from the Western Regions and almost killed him!
Sighing, Yang Jian stretched out his hand. Yang Guang held his father's hand, tears streaming down his face. Finally, he burst into tears and said, "Father, you will definitely get better."
Yang Jian's mind was extremely clear at this time, and he even began to regret many of the stupid and absurd things he had done for more than half a year before he fell into coma. He no longer pursued immortality. He clearly knew that his body was not good anymore, and perhaps his end had come.
, at this moment, his brain is extremely rational and clear.
