Emperor Sui Yang

The main purpose of the Buddhist prayer ceremony for Yang Guang was to tell the world that the emperor was seriously ill and might die soon, so the court invited Master Jiaxiang to pray for God's blessing on the emperor.

Then, next, we will hold a salvation ceremony for the soldiers who have died in the past years. The Taoists are not idle either, and they also set up altars to comfort the souls.

For a time, the entire east was filled with smoke, and you could smell the aroma of incense wherever you went.

And this period of time is the best time for public security in Luoyang, because both sides are asking for gods. Now that the gods are in Luoyang, no one dares to make trouble.

Yang Jin's marriage was also completed, and another son of Yang Ming moved out of the East Palace and moved into the Wei Palace.

In April, the repairs of the White Horse Temple and Laozi Temple were completed. Yang Ming, in the name of Yang Guangzong Bodhisattva and the Wanshou Emperor, ordered Su Kui, the minister of Honglu Temple, to check the records of monks in Taoist temples and temples around the world. The surgery was done.

According to Cui Mintao's investigation, these monks occupy more than 900 million acres of fertile land, which is really a shocking figure.

If you can get half of it back, the country will be rich.

Therefore, in the 15th year of Daye, a great investigation affecting the world's monks and Taoism was launched across the country.

All the candidates who came up this year were appointed officials and entered the local government. Only a few were chief officials, most of them were subordinates. In order to give these people confidence, Yang Ming added a halo to them: disciples of the emperor.

It means that we are all His Majesty's disciples. If you local cowards dare to bully us, Your Majesty will make the decision for me.

Yang Ming's ambition to ascend the throne has become obvious.

"It's time for the Northeast to be incorporated into the territory. The Protectorate is for Han and Hu to govern themselves. The local power is actually still in the hands of the barbarians." Cui Mintao said: "Thousands of miles of fertile land, if we can cultivate it into fertile land and the national treasury will be rich, I will be great." The Sui Dynasty no longer suffered from food shortages."

At the court meeting, Cui Mintao proposed to use troops against Wala Shiwei in the northeast, occupy the entire northeast region in one fell swoop, and then migrate a large number of people to open up wasteland for farming.

This plain area is a big piece of fat, but the ethnic situation there is too complicated.

"It's inappropriate," Pei Ju shook his head: "To this day, there are still rebellions in the old area of ​​Goguryeo. The area is unstable and it is difficult to send troops to the north. Zhou Fa is still old. It is time for someone to continue to pacify. He wants to control the bitter cold land in the northeast. If it is included in the territory, it will be difficult for the current national strength to support it.”

Cui Mintao said: "Such a good place has been occupied by barbarians. They are not familiar with farming, but they make a living by nomadic herding. It is really a waste of natural resources. Even if we can't use troops now, there are still ways to get some land."

Pei Ju still shook his head: "There is nothing trivial about foreign affairs. Now that the northeastern border has been stable for several years, it is not appropriate to start a war again. We cannot fight in this place, so we can only plan for it slowly."

After saying that, Pei Ju looked at Yang Ming and said: "Several trading centers can be established on the border to promote trade exchanges between Han people and barbarians. If there are people who yearn for the Central Plains, they can apply for household registration and gradually absorb the population in exchange for this." , which encouraged the Han people to enter Mohe, Shiwei and other areas, open up acres of land, and settle there. After a long time, they returned home on their own."

Yang Ming deeply agreed.

In fact, it is immigration. People in that place have a very difficult life. Can they be willing to come to the Central Plains?They are very willing, and the people who immigrated here must be those who have done well in the tribe, because those who do not do well do not know how to change.

Da Sui household registration is very valuable. Until now, many Hu people who have been doing business in the Central Plains for half their lives have not been able to obtain Da Sui household registration, and Da Sui has not opened their national household registration to the outside world.

The reason why Pei Ju suggested this was because he had a lot of experience with foreign countries and knew what those foreigners wanted most.

After seeing the prosperity of the Central Plains, it's hard not to miss this place.

However, there are still many people who oppose Pei Ju's suggestion. It is still the same old thing and is not of my kind.

This time, Yang Ming will not care about what most people think. Pei Ju's method is the best. He can win the Northeast without a single blow. No ethnic group can be as compatible as the Han people. The integration of any ethnic group in history. In the end, They were either actively or passively penetrated and assimilated by the Han people.

We currently have four blood types: A, B, AB, and O.

Type B blood accounts for 20% of the total, mainly caused by the integration of the Xiongnu, Turks, Xianbei, Jurchens, Khitans, and Xixia into the blood of the Han people.

Type A accounts for 40% and is mainly distributed in the south. It evolved from the integration of ancient ethnic groups such as Chu Miao and Nanman into China.

Type AB is a combination of type B people and type A people.

Type O is the earliest Han blood type, mainly distributed in the Central Plains, and its blood origin is from the Yellow Emperor and Dongyi.

This in itself is a great integration of nationalities, and Yang Ming is very happy to do this. The barbarians that the Sui Dynasty now considers will be one family in future generations, and we are all descendants of the dragon.

So Yang Ming decisively supported Pei Ju and entrusted him with full authority on this matter, making Pei Ju responsible for completing the opening of household registration within two years.

In fact, this method can also be implemented for the Western Turks and other Western Region tribes, as well as the Tubo region, but there is no need to rush. Under such conditions in ancient times, things were done on a yearly basis, so there was no need to rush.

Historically, Tubo should have emerged during this period and began to enmity with the Tang Dynasty.

But it won't happen now. If Tubo wants to enter the Sui Dynasty, it has to go through the Hexi Corridor. The Western Turks are very good now and have been submissive to the Sui Dynasty. If the Tubo dares to come, they may be attacked by a group.

In June, Yang Guang was dying. He was already losing more air than taking in.

This is all thanks to Yang Lihua. Her elixirs made Yang Guang's face change and turn black. It looked like he was suffering from liver poisoning.He probably has cirrhosis of the liver, and no one can save him.

Empress Xiao, Yang Lihua, Yang Ming and other members of the royal family and palace relatives are all in the palace now.

Yang Lihua shed tears sadly and kept crying.

No matter how much Yang Xiu hated Yang Guang in the past, now he kept sighing when he saw his miserable state. They were brothers after all, and he felt bad in his heart.

Everyone knows that one day, everyone also knows that Yang Guang will die at any time.

They were all waiting for that moment to come, and the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple were already making arrangements.

"I still have to go back to the capital. My father, the emperor, and my empress are all there. Amo can't be too far away from them," Yang Lihua burst into tears after saying this.

Yang Ming hurriedly nodded and said: "This is natural. The capital has been notified to build the emperor's dormitory on the west plateau of Wugong County, fifteen miles south of Tailing. It is a cave in the same line as Tailing, facing each other from a distance."

It was actually more popular for emperors in ancient times to build tombs for themselves while they were still alive. This was the case for Yang Jian, but not for Yang Guang.

I guess I am still fantasizing about my great achievements, and want to achieve great things. I feel that I can live for a long time.

Therefore, the construction of his mausoleum is relatively hasty. The capital has urgently recruited [-] migrant workers and is working overtime. Even if Yang Guang dies now, there will be no delay in entering the tomb, sealing the tomb, and subsequent murals, earth and stone carvings, etc., can be done slowly Take your time.

Anyway, the specifications will definitely not be small.

Yang Lihua looked at Yang Gongren and said, "You and Yang Xuangan are both going back to the capital to take charge of the overall situation. I don't feel comfortable leaving it to others."

Yang Gongren nodded quickly: "I will leave tomorrow."

These people in the palace now are all members of the same family, and they are also the largest family members in the Sui Dynasty. After the death of Yang Guang, the head of the family, naturally it is his own person who plans the mausoleum project, which makes people feel at ease.

Among these people, few were sad. Yang Guang had already broken their hearts. Perhaps it was his women who were the saddest.

After all, without Yang Guang, the rest of their lives will be very miserable. There is no need to worry about their living standards, but men should not worry about it. Many of them are still in their prime. Once Yang Guang dies, they will have to become widows.

For example, Wang Zhuoling of Langya, who is not yet thirty this year, is a great beauty of Shui Lingling. She can only solve problems by herself for the rest of her life.

As for Empress Xiao, she is almost menopausal and is basically not very interested in such things. If she was really interested, Yang Ming would definitely turn a blind eye, but others could not.

"The imperial doctor said that there is something wrong with that pill. The toxicity has not been completely refined. It is far inferior to the elixir refined by Sun Simiao. Should the queen mother and aunt stop taking it?" Yang Ming said.

Since Yang Guang lost consciousness, Yang Ming allowed people from the Imperial Medical Office to enter the palace to investigate Yang Guang's condition, including Chao Yuanfang.

As soon as Chao Yuanfang saw it, he knew it was poisoning, so he began to check Yang Guang's daily diet, and finally found out those pills. Dozens of imperial doctors each tasted some, and judged that this kind of The erysipelas in the elixir was not completely refined, which was the main culprit of His Majesty's poisoning.

Now, Yang Lihua was confused. After calling Chao Yuanfang for questioning, she became furious:
"Let the imperial guards go to Feiyun Temple and capture all those damn stinky Taoist priests for me."

Of course, no one would blame Yang Lihua. After all, they were kind-hearted and she ate it all herself.

Yang Lihua hurriedly looked at Queen Xiao and Yang Ming: "Throw it away, both of you, and don't take it again."

Do you even need to say this?Queen Xiao was also frightened, fearing that she would be too close.

Chao Yuanfang said: "I will study the antidote for this pill at the Imperial Medical Office. Queen and Princess, please rest assured that your Majesty is weak and has taken it for a long time, which is why he has caused liver poisoning. You two don't look like you are poisoned."

Yang Lihua and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Ming said: "On the way to the elixir, we still have to look at Sun Simiao. I hope he can't make it, and others can't make it. My aunt must not try it easily in the future."

Yang Lihua nodded timidly.

In the middle of the night, everyone dispersed, but they did not leave. They all stayed in Huiyou Hall for the time being, and they had to guard Yang Guang.

Yang Ming was the only one left in the main hall, sitting in front of Yang Guang's bed, looking down at his biological father in this life.

In fact, Yang Guang was really good to him in the past. The three brothers all felt the father's love in Yang Guang. Without Yang Guang, Yang Ming would not be where he is today.

It's a pity that things are fickle. He is too capable of causing chaos and stirs up chaos in the world. Yang Ming's patchwork over the years has gathered the hearts of Yang Guang's lost people in him, so that the conflict between father and son gradually became more and more complicated. It got to the point where it could no longer be eased.

"If my father is a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, he will be remembered forever. It's a pity." Yang Ming sighed: "Please feel free to abdicate, my father will take care of everything."

Yang Guang, who was on the hospital bed, moved his fingers slightly. (End of chapter)
