Yang Guang knew that the situation was over, and the famine was even worse. He built more than a hundred rooms in Jiangdu Palace, each room was gorgeously furnished, and each room had a beautiful woman, who took turns to be the host. He was his own guest, and took Empress Xiao and the concubines with him. I traveled east and west, feasting, drinking wine from my mouth every day, and getting drunk every night. More than a thousand of my concubines often fell asleep drunk.
Knowing that he did not have much time left, Yang Guang retired from the court, wearing a scarf and short clothes, walking with a stick, and visited various palaces and courtyards, not stopping at all hours of the night. He always felt that he could not get enough of the scenery everywhere.
It was Haishi, Yang Guang served wine in the middle of the night, and invited Empress Xiao to watch the sky together at night.
"There are many people out there who are plotting against me, but I am still the Duke of the Great Wall, Chen Shubao, and you are also the Empress Shen. Let's just have fun and drink!" Yang Guang, drunk and mad, held up the white jade wine pot and drank freely.
Empress Xiao was covered with a tulle. Under the tulle, her skin was fair and sparkling with human light.
Although she is not young, she has taken good care of herself. Her skin is delicate and white, and her appearance is still stunning. She looks a bit younger than Shi Qingxuan, but she is plump and has the charm of a mature person. She is definitely not as beautiful as Shi Qingxuan. Got it.
Under the illumination of the palace lantern, Yang Guang's face was uglier than the corpses in the morgue, as pale as a dead man. He seemed to be only about fifty years old, with tall shoulders. Although he wore a bright nine-dragon robe and a high crown on his head, he was It gives people a decadent feeling like wearing a shroud.
Anyone can see that his strength is exhausted and his time is running out.
"Chen Shubao? I'm afraid your Majesty is overthinking... Yu Wenhuaji will rebel soon and take a big head from your Majesty's head." A handsome young man in black robes walked in from outside the palace.
"Yu Wenji? He can't, I trust him so much..." Yang Guang burped, looked at Mo Fei with drunken eyes, squinted and asked: "Who are you?"
"Me? I'm here to help His Majesty!" Murphy said with a slight smile.
The legendary and stunningly beautiful Empress Xiao reacted quickly and immediately exclaimed: "There is an assassin! Escort! Someone come and escort us!"
Murphy waved his hand, and Queen Xiao, who was shouting continuously, was silenced and could not scream anymore.
"Although you can yell as much as you like and no one will come in, but I don't like to hear noise, so I'd better keep quiet." Murphy looked at this legendary man with a smile. Empress Xiao raised a finger to her lips and made a silent gesture: "Okay?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Empress Xiao nodded quickly in horror.
Empress Xiao was gentle and gentle, intelligent and knowledgeable, with high literary accomplishments and an extraordinary background. She also had royal blood, which could be traced back to Nanliang, the third dynasty of the Southern Dynasties during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period.
The Northern Qi Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty attacked one after another, which destined the north to be strong and the south to be weak. Xiao Yan founded the Southern Liang Dynasty. During Xiao Fangzhi's time, Chen Baxian deposed the emperor and established himself, and changed the country's name to Chen.
Later, Xiao Yan's grandson Xiao Jin established Xiliang in Jiangling, passed on to the Three Emperors, and died in the Sui Dynasty.
Empress Xiao is the third son of Xiao Qi, the daughter of Xiao Kui, Emperor Xiaoming of the Western Liang Dynasty, and her mother is Empress Zhang, a native of Nanlanling.
In the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and his wife chose a concubine for their 12-year-old second son, King Yang Guang of Jin, in the Liang Kingdom. Because the divination results of all the princesses in the Liang Kingdom were unlucky, they welcomed Empress Xiao back from Zhang Ke's mansion. The divination showed good luck, so they chose her. She was appointed Princess Jin.
Yang Guang's mother, Empress Dugu, was very fond of this young and lovely daughter-in-law, and raised her as her own daughter. She hired many masters to teach her reading, composition, painting, and playing the zither.
Empress Xiao, who was extremely smart, was able to master a few things. Over the course of a few years, a naturally beautiful, charming, well-informed, well-educated, and versatile little beauty emerged.
Mo Fei let go of Empress Xiao and saw that she did not yell again. He nodded with satisfaction: "I like smarter women."
"Who are you?" Yang Guang saw Murphy's eyes staring at Queen Xiao, who was only wearing tulle, and immediately threw the wine bottle at Murphy and shouted angrily.
With Yang Guang's posture at this time, it was natural that he couldn't hit Mo Fei, so he didn't even hide.
Mo Fei withdrew his eyes from the intimidating Xiao Empress, and said seriously: "I have already said that I am here to help His Majesty, my name is Mo Fei, and my friends in the world gave me a banishment
The name of an immortal."
"Debasing the Immortal Mo Fei?" Yang Guang mumbled a few words and burped again, but his drunken eyes became clearer: "Are you here to take my life too?"
It seems that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty has not really lost his mind yet, and he knows that Mo Fei appears here, and most likely, he is here to take his head.
"Your Majesty is wrong, I am here to help your Majesty become an immortal!" Mo Fei said with a serious face.
"Become an immortal? Haha!" Yang Guang sneered and said: "Where are there any immortals in this world? They are just liars! I think you just want to use the only skin left on me.
Just seeking personal gain!"
Mo Fei looked at Yang Guang in surprise and said, "Since you know there are no immortals in this world, why do you still order to search for the method of immortality?"
He really didn't expect that this drunken Emperor Yang still retained what little sanity he had left.
"Otherwise, what can I do? Just like a drowning person, even if it is a straw, he will hold on tightly." Yang Guang laughed at himself and said: "Now that I see you, I know
, I have this big head, it’s time to move now.”
Yang Guang was not really stupid after all. He saw Mo Fei walking into the palace as if there was no one around. Even after Empress Xiao shouted, no one came in to escort him. No matter what happened outside, he was certain that he was doomed.
"But when death is imminent, I still want to make a deal with you."
"Oh?" Mo Fei stood with his hands behind his hands, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: "What deal? I have plenty of time, your Majesty can speak freely."
He was really curious about Emperor Sui Yang's deal, so he stopped talking about his purpose.
Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as we can talk, he was really afraid that this person would not allow him to say anything, and would just kill him, and then everything would be over.
"I don't know who you are, but as long as you are a human being, you will definitely have a certain interest in money. Where in the world do you not need to spend money? I can give you money! It's not just a little bit of money, it's enough for you to spend.
More money than you can spend in a few lifetimes!”
Yang Guang said calmly: "My Yang family has been the emperor for two generations. Even if the Nine Cauldrons are now moved, there are still three nails in the ruined ship. I have several treasure places that only I know, and there are countless wealth in them."
"So?" Mo Fei said noncommittally.
"You help me lead three people out of this whirlpool of chaos, and I will tell you three treasure hiding places." Yang Guang said seriously.
"I see..." Murphy nodded with a smile and said, "Who does Your Majesty want me to take away?"
"My third son Yang Gao, my little daughter Ruyi, and my beautiful mother."
Historical records record that "Gao Cong Ling, beauty ritual, the emperor made poems and poems, Gao Duo can recite them. Extreme filial piety." Yang Guang loved this young son very much and often took him with him. When he was killed, Yang Gaonian
Only twelve years old, he burst into tears beside the corpse, and the rebel leader Pei Qiantong ordered his men to behead him.
As for Ruyi... Mo Fei thought of Concubine Yang after Li Shimin, who was the mother of the famous Wu King Li Ke.
Meiniang... Needless to say, she is Empress Xiao.
Yang Gao should be regarded as Yang Guang's most beloved son, Princess Ruyi is Yang Guang's most beloved daughter, and Empress Xiao is Yang Guang's most beloved woman.
This shows that Yang Guang's head is not dizzy yet, and he did not use the treasure to lure Mo Fei to take his children, concubines, etc. out of the sea of fire, but chose the people he valued most.
"In my life, I have been through strong winds and waves. I have seen all the prosperity of the world, and I am used to seeing the vicissitudes of life. Even if I die now, this life will not be in vain." Yang Guang sighed: "The world has fallen into such a situation, and it is Yang Guang's fault.
Even if Yang Guang is cut into pieces as a sacrifice to God, it is not an exaggeration."
"You are self-aware!" Murphy commented.
After Yang Guang came to the throne, he imposed excessive levies and excessive military force. This endless levy, military service and corvee burden almost disturbed farmers across the country and pushed the social economy to a desperate situation. It is said in history: "North of the Yellow River, there is no smoke for thousands of miles;
"Between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, the grass grows thickly." The class contradictions intensified seriously. The majority of the people "lived in peace and could not bear the cold, and their death was imminent, but by plundering they still had a chance to survive." The peasant uprising finally broke out in full force, and this brought the Sui Dynasty into a desperate situation.
Just because the population of the Sui Dynasty peaked at 50 million and dropped to 25 million in the early Tang Dynasty, it is absolutely correct to say that Yang Guang was the most stupid and cruel monarch in Chinese history.
History books compare Qin Shihuang and Yang Guang as tyrants. This is definitely the worst time that Brother Zheng was hacked.
It only took Qin Shihuang nine years to wipe out the six kingdoms and unify the world. Although the six generations of monarchs before him had laid a solid foundation, if Ying Zheng was replaced by Yang Guang, I am afraid that no matter how powerful the Qin country was, it would not be possible to unify it.
! Yang Guang was a pure prodigal who squandered his country’s wealth and eventually led his country to destruction. Note that Qin Shihuang was the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, but Yang Guang was the last emperor of his dynasty! The first emperor founded the country, the Sui Dynasty
Yang destroyed the country; the First Emperor was the founding leader who unified the world, while Sui Yang was a cruel and greedy son of a dandy! How can an emperor who has experienced war be compared with a faint emperor who has never experienced war?
Yang Guang is not qualified to be compared with Qin Shihuang.
Some people commented that Yang Guang's sins are in the present and his merits are in the future. Mo Fei does not think so.
In Mo Fei's view, Yang Guang's fault was both at the time and Qianqiu. Thanks to others later, he ended the bad situation left by Yang Guang and prevented Qianqiu from being blamed.
If you really take a closer look at history, most of Yang Guang's so-called great achievements actually belong to other dynasties. Other people's achievements were just misappropriated to Yang Guang. For example, the main work of opening the Grand Canal, establishing the imperial examination system, etc. were done by other dynasties.
, the main achievements are also those of other dynasties, not Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
Regarding the Grand Canal, most of the work of digging, dredging and repairing the Grand Canal was not done by the Sui Dynasty, but by other dynasties. The Grand Canal can benefit future generations and benefit the future generations. It was built by many dynasties from the Autumn to the Qing Dynasty over thousands of years.
The Sui Dynasty dredged the old river channels that had been dug by many dynasties from the Autumn to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and then opened them up. The Tang Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty continued to develop. The Sui Dynasty was due to II
He died and did very little work. In fact, the Grand Canal of later generations was no longer the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal of the Yuan Dynasty, with most of the river courses not belonging to the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
For another example, the imperial examination actually sprouted in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. There were many germinations of "throwing in ultimatums and self-advancement" in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but the Sui Dynasty went backwards.
Many people from aristocratic families and noble families participated. This was because the imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty also achieved the goal of "self-improvement by surrendering an ultimatum" and opened up a new official career path and a path for advancement for poor families and common people.
Yang Guang satisfies his own fantasy by squandering and corrupting the rich legacy left by his predecessors. He created a mess and bad situation and then did not clean up. Instead, he hid in Jiangdu and lived in a dream. This was far from a strategic idea or a great plan, but resembled the misbehavior and troubles of a child.
Don't care.
If random fantasies are also visions and strategies, then Murphy feels that his talent is already astonishing.
