Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 245 Everything is going well

Hall of Two Instruments,
Yang Guang was discussing with Yang Yue about the project of excavating the section of the Yellow River and the Huaihe River. Yang Guang didn't want to delay this project any longer, he wanted to get started as soon as possible.

Luoyang will probably be completed in September next year, so Yang Guang plans to start preparations after the New Year is over. The river will be excavated in March and will be connected by the end of the year. In this way, he can go directly to Jianghuai by boat from Luoyang.

In the seventh year of Kaihuang, Yang Jian issued an edict: Shanyangdu was opened to transport water, so at that time there was Shanyangdu, which was expanded on the basis of Hangou dug by Wu State during the Spring and Autumn Period, from Xuyi County to Jiangdu.

But Yang Guang felt that this section of the river was too narrow and wanted to expand it again.

Then, divert the water from the Yangtze River into Shanyang, which is the north of Xuyi County, and into the Huaihe River. In this way, the five major rivers, Haihe, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River, and Qiantang River, will be completely connected, and freight from north to south will be unimpeded.

Yang Yue was also terrified when he heard it. It is indeed too urgent to launch such a large project next year. Although it can be done with the current national strength of the Sui Dynasty, it will take longer to recover.

In history, if Yang Guang hadn't conquered Goguryeo three times, leading to a national rebellion, so that the first unified central empire since the Southern and Northern Dynasties would have perished, then Yang Guang's status in history would definitely not be low, let alone a tyrant. nouns linked together.

From the perspective of the Grand Canal alone, although it has sacrificed a lot of people's power, its role is unprecedented. As for the three visits to the south of the Yangtze River, although it is too extravagant and extravagant, isn't there still six trips to the south of the Yangtze River in history?That guy's reputation is pretty good.

Therefore, in history, the time of Yang Guang's reign was often divided into two periods. The former period is a wise emperor, and the latter period makes people gnash their teeth and hate him for indisputable.

After Yang Yue left, Yang Guang was already exhausted. At this moment, Mrs. Chong Yi's wife, Chen Yu, came in.

Her footsteps were very light, and she came to Yang Guang's back without making a sound, and wrapped her fingers around the back of Yang Guang's neck, kneading the acupuncture points for him.

Chen Yu is only young this year, and women in this time period are actually the most popular among men, because this is the best physical stage of a woman's life.

The skin is blown to pieces, firm and elastic, and no matter where it is, it is full of youthful breath.

Yang Guang closed his eyes and immersed himself in it. After a while, he spoke slowly:
"Is it very lively outside? Since I'm in the palace, I can hear it all."

"The concubine doesn't know either." Chen Yu smiled and said, "It should be very lively. I heard that there are many children from aristocratic families in Shandong and Jiangnan."

Yang Guang smiled and said, "You haven't left the palace yet, who told you that?"

Chen Yu smiled sweetly, and slowly pressed it against Yang Guang's back, softly saying, "Don't tell Your Majesty."

"Haha." Yang Guang slapped the latter's tummy with his backhand, and said, "If you don't say it again, I will punish you carefully."

"Then His Majesty will punish you, and the concubine will admit it," Chen Yu laughed softly.

This woman's beauty and Chen Shuyi are brothers, but Chen Shuyi doesn't have the charm of other people. Chen Yu seems to be born with this, with every frown, every move, every move, charming all living beings.

After joking with the emperor again, Chen Yu couldn't help being harassed by Yang Guang's evil hands, and hurried back a few steps, blushing and taking the initiative to confess:

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of Chen Shuda?"

Of course Yang Guang knew that the old Chen family was taken into the capital by him.

"What happened to him?" Yang Guang asked.

Chen Yu replied: "Chen Shuda is the concubine's uncle, and now he has gone to work in Taichang Temple. I heard that he was recommended by Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials."

"Taichang Temple?" Yang Guang frowned and said, "What position do you have?"

Chen Yu frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It seems to be Taizhu."

"Hehe." Yang Guang couldn't help laughing and said, "It turned out to be a petty official who recited congratulatory speeches. Why do you mention him?"

"Is he the uncle of the concubine?" Chen Kui said innocently: "The concubine was wandering in the imperial city once and bumped into my uncle before I found out about it, so I invited my aunt into the palace privately without going through His Majesty. , Your Majesty will not blame the concubine, will he?"

After finishing speaking, Chen Yu stuck out her tongue playfully.

Yang Guang wiped the black hair on her temples with a doting face, and said with a smile:

"People's ethics are normal, how can I blame you? You have lived in the palace for a long time, and I will only be happy if someone comes to talk with you to relieve boredom."

Then, Chen Yu took out her innate ability to be coquettish, dawdled on Yang Guang for a long time, and then said:
"My aunt once told me that there is a beautiful woman in the Wang family, who is sixteen years old. It is said that she is beautiful and has the appearance of a Diao Chan. At that time, my concubine invited my aunt to invite her to the capital. I think it should be coming soon. Bring her into the palace and let His Majesty see her."

Yang Guang said with a smile: "I have no shortage of beauties. Mrs. Wang wants to use your hand to dedicate this girl to me. Does she have something to ask for?"

"Your Majesty always thinks too much," Chen Yu said angrily, "It's not so much asking for something, it's better to say it's getting something back. It's a great blessing for my uncle to be an official in the Sui Dynasty and serve His Majesty. What about extravagance?"

Yang Guang nodded with a smile: "The disciples of Nanchen are also my people today. As long as they have real talents and learning, I can hire them at their own discretion. If you ask me, I will agree."

"Then how should the concubine ask for it?" Under the candlelight, the delicate and charming Chen Yu was like a peony in full bloom, soft and lovely.

Yang Guang took the lead.
Wang Zhuoling was a woman who was going to be dedicated to Yang Guang, so after being abducted into Prince Qi's mansion, she was provided with good food and drink.

After seeing the other party once, Yang Hao didn't think about eating and drinking, and his heart was itchy. If he hadn't offended his father and mother and was eager to make up for it, he would never be willing to send this girl out.

Looking at this woman's appearance, he has been fascinated by it for only a moment, wishing to eat it now.

It's a pity. It's cheaper for the father.

In his opinion, it is most appropriate for this woman to be dedicated to the emperor on the festival celebration on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but before that, he has to do some ideological work on this woman.

He was abducted, and he must be hated to death.

So in the middle of the night, Yang Hao came to Anton Wang Zhuoling's room with a lamp.

"My lady, there is no need to panic. The king brought you here because a great honor will fall on your head."

After all, Wang Zhuoling came from a wealthy family, and he valued chastity the most. Hearing this, he said with a frosty face:

"If Your Highness uses force, all the women of the people will die."

From Yang Hao Chi Guoguo's eyes, she has already seen through the other party's thoughts. He has seen such eyes many times, but none of them are as bold as the other party. Since entering the room, the other party's eyes have always been in her eyes Look up and down the body.

The majestic king of Qi is so despicable.

Wang Zhuoling pushed to the corner of the room, and said coldly: "If King Qi doesn't leave, the daughter of the people will be killed here."

"Hehe." Yang Hao finally held back, stood up and sneered, "One day in the future, you will thank me."

After Yang Hao left, Wang Zhuoling leaned against the corner of the wall and squatted down slowly, feeling helpless and helpless, couldn't help crying.

Here, the children of the Wang family are also mobilizing their own relationship channels to seek help.

After Chen Shuda and his wife knew the situation, they hurriedly took several Wang's children to the Qin Palace for help.

And Liang Bi, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, also knew, he was thinking, whether to tell this matter in the court, or after the court meeting, when he had an audience with His Majesty in private.

After thinking about it again and again, he still planned to report it in private.

He dared to fight Yang Su, but he didn't dare to fight the King of Qi openly.

In Prince Qin's Mansion, Yang Yinjiang frowned and comforted the anxious children of the Wang family:

"Don't worry, this matter will wait until tomorrow. I will go to the palace to seek the help of the prince. You go back for now and wait for news from the palace."

A child of the Wang family said: "Time is waiting, sister She has been abducted to Prince Qi's mansion, after tonight, no one knows what will happen, please enter the palace as soon as possible, the Wang family will never forget this kindness."

As he spoke, the man knelt down directly to Yang Yinjiang, and kowtowed loudly.

Yang Yinjiang was indifferent, and just said indifferently: "You don't understand the rules, the imperial city has already closed its doors, even if it is my palace, it is impossible to enter at this time. Let me explain that tomorrow is already the fastest."

At this time, Chen Shuda also hurried forward to help the Wang family disciple:

"Don't embarrass the princess. It's only an hour and a half away from sunrise. There will be a result at noon tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Chen Shuda winked at the people behind him, and forcibly pulled the crying man surnamed Wang up.

Yang Yinjiang waved her hand: "When you come back at noon tomorrow, whether it's good or bad, I will give you an explanation."

On the way back, Chen Shuda, who was completely unaware, scolded the Wang family disciple:
"It's rude to disturb each other in the middle of the night. The princess has already promised to help, why are you acting like that? They are helping us, not asking for us. You just made me lose face."

Wang Zhuoling's elder brother, named Wang Jingyu, also realized at this time, knowing that he was really very polite just because of his impatience.

Concubine Qin agreed to help her because of her uncle's face, but she took the liberty to force her, which is true and wrong.

"My nephew is abrupt, it's really because I'm worried about my sister, when Zhuo Ling is rescued, my nephew should go to Prince Qin's mansion in person to plead guilty to the princess."

"Okay, okay," Chen Shuda wasn't really angry, but felt that begging for help was not the way to ask for the law, and what was wasted was Shuyi's favor. Without Shuyi, would they be able to enter Qin Palace?

"Let's go back to Jinyang Tower tonight and wait for news."

Prince Qin's Mansion, Yang Yinjiang and Chen Shuyi couldn't sleep anymore. So far, the whole plan has gone well, and it depends on what happens tomorrow.

Chen Shuyi was worried that Wang's daughter was really ruined by Yang Hao, after all, Yang Hao's reputation in the south of the Yangtze River was too bad.

"Don't worry," Yang Yinjiang said quite calmly: "If everything is normal, most of the Wang's daughters will enter the palace smoothly, and be accepted into the harem by the emperor. You can be regarded as an explanation to the Wang's side during the introduction."

"I hope so." Chen Shuyi sighed and said, "I hope there will be no accidents."

Yang Yinjiang nodded and said: "No, there are no mistakes in all steps, we just need to wait for tomorrow, there will be a good show."
