Eight hundred and fiftieth chapters weak enemy country's plan
"My lord, I am about to tell you about this matter. Please come to the palace and ask your majesty to take back your order. After the new capital of Luoyang is built, the Grand Canal can be built again, or the time limit can be extended. Otherwise, we don't know how to do it."
How many people died in vain." Liu Ziming saw Wang Junlin put down the scroll, picked it up and looked at it, then bowed to Wang Junlin with an indignant and dignified look and said.
Wang Junlin signaled Liu Ziming to stand up, and said with a complicated expression: "How could I not know that Ziming has the heart of the world? I went to the palace and told His Majesty about this three days ago, but do you think how Your Majesty reacted?"
When Liu Ziming saw Wang Junlin's expression at this time, he knew that the emperor probably did not listen to the advice, and said with a disappointed look on his face: "What did your Majesty say?"
Wang Junlin said: "Your Majesty reprimanded me and asked me to do my own thing."
When Liu Ziming heard this, he became anxious and said, "But is it really possible to allow the imperial court to continue to make mistakes like this, resulting in hundreds of thousands of people dying and several states being laid waste?"
Wang Junlin shook his head and said: "Ziming may not understand your majesty. With your majesty's character, no one can dissuade him."

After staying in Daxing City for more than half a year, Yuan Taizuo was finally ready to leave for Goguryeo.
Yuan Taizuo sent 5,000 war horses, 10,000 Korean ginseng and 100,000 taels of silver to the Sui Dynasty in the name of Goguryeo. Although this was actually Yuan Taizuo's redemption silver, if it spread to Goguryeo, Yuan Taizuo would
If Zuo is embarrassed, he will suffer a big loss, and if he is embarrassed, he will suffer a big loss if his political opponents seize the opportunity to remove him from the position of prime minister.
Therefore, Yuan Taizuo was able to return to his country more than a month ago, but he stayed in Daxing City for more than a month. The purpose was to allow the Sui Dynasty to return the gift. To put it bluntly, the Sui Dynasty also gave him some things, so that he could have a good time when he returned.
To save face, to block the mouths of political enemies.
After more than a month of hard work, Yuan Taizuo promised Wang Junlin to give another island in Goguryeo called Shendami Island to Wang Junlin, and Wang Junlin helped him settle the matter.
Wang Junlin specially entered the palace again for this purpose and talked secretly with Yang Guang in the imperial study for more than two hours. After Wang Junlin left the palace, an imperial edict was immediately circulated in the palace, instructing the six ministries of the three provinces to collect the exquisite Buddhist dharma from major temples in Guanzhong.
In addition, five hundred eminent monks and one hundred craftsmen who were most able to persuade people to believe in Buddhism returned to the country with Yuan Taizuo as a return gift to Goguryeo.
Monks spread Buddhist beliefs, and craftsmen built gorgeous temples and pavilions. Today, Buddhism is also believed in Goguryeo, and it is very popular. The Goguryeo nobles, including the Goguryeo royal family, highly respect Buddhism. Today, the Sui Dynasty dispatched so many eminent monks.
The monks and craftsmen spread Buddhist teachings and built temples and halls for Goguryeo. Yuan Taizuo agreed without much hesitation. At most, he only thought about the monks of the Sui Dynasty. Although the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty agreed to return the gift, he did not want to spend any valuables.
, so we sent these extra monks and temple builders.
Although Yuan Taizuo was familiar with the classics of the Central Plains sages, he eventually became enlightened.
At the end of the Warring States period, various countries were vying for hegemony. Qin Wangzheng was in charge of the Qin State. South Korea was afraid of Qin's power and was afraid of being swallowed up, so it sent the hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo to Qin to persuade the King of Qin to build the Zheng Guo Canal. The Qin Wang Zheng generously agreed, but this canal consumed Qin's manpower and material resources.
The countless resources indeed weakened the Qin army and delayed the time for King Qin to dominate the world. The construction of a water canal greatly weakened the strength of Qin. However, King Qin was already in power at that time. No strategy could stop King Qin from sweeping the six countries. After all, Korea
The country was still destroyed.
The water canal named "Zheng Guo Canal" lasted for several dynasties and nearly a thousand years, and still existed in the Sui Dynasty. It is not far from Jingyang County, diverting Jingshui River to the west and Luoshui River to the east, with a total length of more than 300 miles.
In fact, Wang Junlin was inspired by the historical fact that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo reconciled and sent thousands of monks to accompany Princess Wencheng on her wedding, so he thought of sending monks to the Goguryeo people. History proves the plan of the Tang Dynasty at that time.
very successful.
At that time, the Tubo people were brave and warlike, and everyone was a warrior. There were as many as 200,000 cavalry, and they were the biggest scourge in the western part of the Tang Dynasty. But after these monks spread into the territory of Tubo, they became a scourge, and they were industrious, brave and warlike for many years.
The Tubo people brainwashed them, and the four major things were empty, everything was empty, everything was empty, growing food was empty, army training was empty, fortifying the city defense was empty, anyway, the territory of Tubo was empty, there was no real thing, plus thousands of
Craftsmen came to the country to build temples and statues of Buddhas for the people. From then on, the people would kneel in front of the Buddha statues and repent and make wishes. The Tubo people were already poor, so they spent a lot of national resources to build temples and pavilions. A hundred years later, Tubo was no longer the
The threat from the Central Plains.
It was this strategy of weakening the enemy that Wang Junlin convinced Yang Guang.
Yang Guang was delighted when the king came to offer his advice. It is said that the wild laughter in the royal study lasted for dozens of breaths without stopping. The eunuchs were frightened into thinking that his majesty had gone crazy, and even the Imperial Medical Office was alarmed. It was during this conversation that
, Wang Junlin finally knew that Yang Guang was indeed planning to devour Goguryeo in one go, just like in history, but he had not yet had time to put it on the agenda. Wang Junlin's plan was in line with his intentions.
Early in the morning, outside the east gate of Daxing City, a vast convoy stretched as far as the eye could see. The carriages were loaded with various specialties of the Sui Dynasty, from silk damasks to Buddhist scriptures, from exquisite porcelain to Buddha statues and divination instruments. One hundred carts were filled to the brim.
, these things were also gifts to Goguryeo in the name of the Sui Dynasty, but in fact they were bought by Yuan Taizuo himself, and they also brought a sum of money to the Sui treasury. Yang Guang was quite pleased. Of course, these were all from Wang Junlin.
's handwriting.
Before Yuan Taizuo set out on his journey, today there was a huge crowd outside the east gate.
Wang Junlin, who had made a secret deal with each other and was still holding the other party's son Yuan Gaesuwen, naturally came to see Yuan Taizuo outside the city.
The scene of farewell to the Goguryeo mission in the Sui Dynasty was not very grand. In fact, Wang Junlin went out of the city to see him off on behalf of Yang Guang. Of course, some officials from the three provinces and six ministries also came. Everyone's face was full of spring breeze fake smiles, and they looked eager.
He looked reluctant to say goodbye, and Yuan Taizuo's acting skills did not disappoint everyone. He kept holding this and pulling on that, and even his eyes were red. He wished he could change his nationality and live permanently in Daxing City. It was deliberately created.
Outside the east gate of farewell, people from the Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo competed with each other in their acting skills. The plot is touching and the emotions are delicate...
After finally saying goodbye to many important ministers, Yuan Taizuo slowly walked up to Wang Junlin and smiled at him.
"Qin An Gong, we have to say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see you again. I feel very sorry for Qin An Gong!"
Wang Junlin had just watched Yuan Taizuo and the officials from the three provinces and six ministries perform and felt drowsy. At this time, his expression perked up and he thought it was time to perform by himself. A smile that could no longer be fake suddenly appeared on his face.
