The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 920 Extreme Joy Begets Sadness, Li Jing's Defeat

Daxing City has eleven north-south avenues and fourteen east-west avenues, three of which run through the gates of the city, known as six streets.The street is wide, with neat ditches on both sides, which divides the whole city into [-] lifangs and two cities, forming a checkerboard-like grid. It’s like planting a vegetable patch.”

Except for the east-west streets leading to Yanpingmen and Yanxingmen, which are 55 meters wide, the rest are more than 150 meters wide, and the central axis of Zhuquemen Street is [-] meters wide, running through the whole city, with a length of [-] meters. Li is the longest central axis in the city, also known as "Sky Street".There are rows and rows of pagoda trees planted on both sides of the street, and the arrangement of latitude and longitude is clear and orderly.

The streets of Daxing City are very spacious, not only the eleven verticals and fourteen horizontals are spacious and flat, but also the alleys between residential houses are also very wide. A street can be called a boulevard.

In the past, the streets of Daxing City were all rammed earth. Once it rained, the roads would be muddy. When the capital was still located in Daxing City, it was often the case that the emperor did not go to court early and the government offices were not open due to heavy rain. After the roads were dried , The ruts and deep hoof prints on the road can be described as difficult treks for pedestrians who are eager to go home.

After Li Yuan was set on fire by Yang Tong, he realized that Daxing City was too big. If there were a large army approaching the city, even a hundred thousand troops would have no way of defending it; Old and unbearable face, if the Sui army demolished a section of the wall, they would be able to kill in the city. After learning the lesson, Li Yuan mobilized the people in Guanzhong to tear down the two walls of Daxing City and smash them again with rammed earth. Then build five-foot-thick green bricks on the outside of the earth wall, and three-foot-thick green bricks on the inner wall, and fill the gaps with glutinous rice juice.In addition, the walls of each square were rebuilt in this way. The purpose of this was that if the city walls fell, the Tang army would fight street battles with the Sui army based on the walls of each square.

With the support of Li Yuan from the nobles of Guanlong, the Daxing City Wall and Fang Wall have become taller and more majestic, and their defense power has been dozens of times higher than before. However, the Battle of Guanzhong ended in a negotiating manner. Only the puppet Tang monarchs and ministers left in the isolated city ran to Xiangyang in despair. The city walls and square walls that Li Yuan spent so much money on building did not play any role in the war.

With the end of the Battle of Guanzhong, Yang Tong also attached great importance to the geographically important Daxing City. What he asked the Ministry of Industry to do was to repair the spacious streets and drainage ditches, and then lay green bricks on the road.

Weng and his son-in-law have done this one after another, and Daxing City has a new look, which is convenient for the people of Daxing City. They don't have to worry about the walls of the square collapsing and pressing down on their homes in heavy rain, and they don't have to worry about being trapped by the muddy road and the green brick floor. Gone are the clean, dusty days too.

There are only five cities like Luoyang, Yecheng, Daxing, Xiangyang, and Chengdu in the whole world.

As the sun sets, the chessboard-like Daxing City is bathed in the beautiful sunset glow. The people on the long streets and various squares are like insignificant chess pieces on a huge chessboard. Whether they advance or retreat, they are of no importance to the chess players.

The tall locust trees on both sides of the road are densely shaded, one or two elderly people play chess with the locust tree, and three or five women chat under the locust tree, which is extremely leisurely and peaceful.

At this time, a special team entered Daxing City from the Golden Light Gate. The mighty knights with tall horses, bright armor, and sharp spears in their hands gave people a sense of sternness from afar.

They are not uniform at the moment, because among them, there are many escort trucks, and there are also many prison trucks containing hundreds of prisoners.

The people in Daxing City have become numb to this scene. They have also seen many arrests in Daxing City in the past few days. Many people were arrested in the four cities and surrounding lively Lifang, especially the prostitutes in Pingkangfang. During this storm, they were dealt a devastating blow, nearly five floors of prostitutes were wiped out, because these prostitutes were all related to "rebel Li Yuan".

But fortunately, many innocent people were released in the first place, so the people did not feel in danger, and they believed the court's explanation, because after Li Yuan's defeat in the south, he seldom caused trouble in Daxing City. There was a vigorous change in the Daxing Palace. Last year, assassins were deployed in Fufeng to assassinate the emperor. In addition, many intelligence points were deployed in Daxing City and the Old City of the Great Wall. Things are normal.

This team entered the city from Jinguang Gate in the west. They didn't stay in the street. They walked to the southeast of Daxing Palace, turned north from Hanguang Gate, entered the imperial city, and sent the criminals to the prison of Dali Temple.

These are the soldiers of the Eighth Army stationed in Mingyue County. Starting from Mingyue County, they gathered the criminals from Yiwu, Dunhuang, Zhangye, and Wuwei. Because of Cheng Yaojin's idea, the great cleansing of the Sui court from official to private, from dark to bright, is coming to an end.

The return of this army also marked a perfect end to this massive and sudden purge operation.

The final beneficiaries of this action are the emperor and the court first, and then the scholars and common people.

Yang Tong, who had already moved to Daxing, did not pay much attention to this matter, but the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Imperial Affairs and Dali Temple took advantage of the nine-day wind and thunder to beat rabbits with grass and successfully tore up each piece of paper. The dark net established by the great gentry has made these chess players who have been playing chess for nearly a thousand years, like various dynasties that have disappeared in the long river, and finally turned into dust of history.

When the "emperor" came to Yang Tong, he finally achieved a gorgeous transformation, from a chess piece at the mercy of various forces to a chess player.

And what about the people who are reduced to pawns?

Taipingfang, Daxing City, a beautiful courtyard heavily guarded by troops, has been moved here. There are many master criminals and many family heads. They don’t have to worry about poverty here. Waitress.

Lu Zhaochun, Li Ziheng, Zheng Tan, Cui Hong and other middle-aged, young people, and teenagers have sex with women every day. They are young and strong, and they should be in their prime, but recently, their excessive lust has emptied their hearts. The body and the faces are all pale.

These people are either the head of the family, the head of the clan, or the direct descendants of various clans. There should not be too many women around them. There are beauties from all clans, all kinds of styles, and all kinds of temperaments. The grade is naturally high to an unimaginable height, and it is difficult for ordinary beauties to enter their eyes.At first when they heard that the imperial court sent "beauties" to serve them and let them play, some people who had the idea of ​​earning money by playing just once were quite excited. After all, they were going to die, and it was good to have a good time.

They can tolerate their inferior looks, but the truth is heartbreaking. The women given to them by the imperial court are all ugly Japanese women, black and short, full of sweaty smell, as if they haven't bathed for decades As soon as they saw them, they grinned, revealing a mouthful of scorched yellow teeth.

Facing such a woman, the children of the nobles who have been raised in their mouths feel like throwing up just by looking at them, how can they be so hard?As a result, they were given aphrodisiacs by the tall and strong Turkic women, and then they were rounded over and over again by the short Japanese women.Come here so many times a day, the iron body can't take it anymore.

People are a little ugly, but if one or two are pregnant with children, they can be regarded as the queens for them, but the problem is that the female slaves of the Japanese country can't understand what they say, and they can't understand what the Japanese females say, even when they are having fun with each other. , the men's hands are tied, their mouths are blocked, and then they wear headgear that only exposes their eyes and noses, making it impossible to communicate at all.So I don't know which female slaves have sown seeds, and the female slaves don't know their identities, and even if they have children, they don't know whose.

When they are finished, they will be interrogated by the officials, and they will not be given sleep if they don’t talk. Without this "gentle interrogation method", I was so sleepy that I told all I knew in order to get a good night's sleep.

At first Cheng Yaojin was worried that Yang Tong would call him obscene, but after he reported the trial method, Emperor Shengwu gave him a strange look, then taught him a few ideas, and even supported the ugly woman, saying that as long as these Women who are so ugly that even male slaves despise them are pregnant, and they are treated as commoners. This can be regarded as borrowing from the nobles with pure blood and red roots, right?Let these noble nobles make the final contribution to enriching the population of the Sui Dynasty.

Originally, it was only aimed at the children of all ethnic groups, but Cheng Yaojin could no longer find anything of value, so he used this method to engage the most noble family heads.

"Hot pot, all the reasons are due to that midnight hot pot. If we don't eat that hot pot, we will all fall apart." At this time, Gao Xiaoji, who was sluggish in the courtyard, burst into anger, and he couldn't tolerate his anger, even his 70-year-old old man It was also borrowed several times by a bunch of ugly women.

It almost killed him.

"What's the point of saying this?" Lu Zhaochun's face was also quite ugly. Back in Luoyang, they were locked in the sky prison. As more and more people were arrested, everyone began to blame him.The so-called unity of purpose and unity of purpose has disappeared.

"I don't blame you, who do you blame? In the middle of the night, what kind of banquet are you throwing?"

"I didn't force you to stay, so you don't want to eat it? It's obvious that you are hypocritical, and now you still blame me."

"..."

At the juncture of life and death, the old and the young tore off the camouflage mask of being of one heart and one mind, and had a war of words.

……

In the "South China Sea" in the Royal Garden of Daxing Palace, the evening breeze is gentle, and the ripples on the water surface are set one after another, suddenly appearing and disappearing.

A painting boat is parked by the water, and there is a small red clay stove at the bow. The charcoal fire is booming. On the stove, a big fish caught by Yang Tong is stewed in the pot. go.

In the cabin!
Yang Tong, who caught a cold in summer, was sitting on a bench. The long case in front of him was full of books copied from various places. Every piece of paper and every line of these books was worth a thousand gold. Land deeds, books, and city registrations, but the most important thing is the rosters. Each name on the roster means a fortune or a connection and a group of well-organized people.

Opposite him, Yang Qinfang, who had changed from a savage girl to a gentle young woman, was kneeling in front of a short table, gently mixing a bowl of fish soup with a spoon, and paired with those soft and slender plain hands, she was as beautiful as ever. I made a delicious soft white fish soup, and sprinkled a handful of finely chopped emerald green coriander into it, and the rich fish aroma immediately became a more appetizing aroma.

Yang Tong put down an account book in his hand, sniffed comfortably, and said, "It's so fragrant, let's put it aside, it's still hot, little greedy cat..."

Yang Qinfang got up, walked to Yang Tong and sat down, and smiled sweetly: "Are these books important?"

"It's very important." Yang Tong said, "I know that the thousand-year-old family is deeply rooted and flourishing, but I didn't know how powerful they are until today. This is just a Longxi Li family. The rich heritage of the thousand-year-old family is really true. Unimaginable."

Yang Qinfang asked curiously, "How much are these things worth?"

Yang Tong said: "Some can be measured by money, but more can't be measured by money. Let's put it this way, if you own the things in this case that belonged to the Li family in Longxi, you will be able to stand on your own in the grassland in an instant. A country, at most three years, can become a female khan whose strength is not weaker than Ashina Simo!"

Yang Qinfang said sweetly: "Since you have this kind of power, why don't you occupy a piece of grassland?"

Yang Tong sighed and said: "The Great Sui alone has been governed by me in a daze. It has only been a few years since the new Great Sui emerged from the flames of war? There are demons dancing around, corrupt officials, ghosts and ghosts appearing endlessly." , This also makes me feel that I have more than enough energy, no matter how vast the territory is, I am afraid I will not be able to handle it.”

Yang Qinfang, a young woman who fell in love, couldn't help the love in her heart, she gently snuggled into Yang Tong's arms, and looked up at him affectionately: "Since I arrived in Zhuojun, Dong'er is the king in my heart. Always will be."

Yang Tong said with a stern face: "What Dong son, I want to be called Husband."

"That's what it is." Yang Qinfang was suddenly a little worried, and said with concern about gain and loss: "Tell me, if we are together, will the reputation of you and the royal family be ruined..."

She gently raised her head, stroking Yang Tong's eyebrows, nose, all the way to his beautiful moustache, "I'm very satisfied now, if it's not good for you and the royal family, just treat me as a concubine." alright."

Yang Tong put his arms around her slender waist, and said, "You're talking nonsense again, look at your current appearance, how can you look like a heroic female Rakshasa?"

Yang Qinfang pressed against his heart, and said quietly: "Isn't he afraid..." She suddenly raised her head again, with new worries, looked at Yang Tong nervously and said: "You won't be afraid because of the female Rakshasa. Let me be a shameful outer room?"

Yang Tong looked at her cute and pitiful expression, amused and moved, remembering how arrogant and domineering she was when she said she wanted to be a general, but now she is as uneasy as a little lamb.If she hadn't loved herself so much and cared too much about herself, how could she be so worried about gains and losses?

Said softly: "Silly girl, how do you look like a female Rakshasa? Such a tall and slender figure is like a slim willow tree; delicate facial features are like a little fairy; Like Xiaolu's younger sister..."

The most beautiful wine in the world is the lover's love words. Yang Qinfang's heart was drunk, Yang Tong showed a narrow smile in his eyes, and continued: "And your breasts..."

"Stop, it's not serious to talk and talk." Yang Qinfang gave him a red-eyed look, and then thought, Yang Tong just talked smaller and smaller just now, could it be that her breasts are also small?

She lowered her head to look at her tall chest, and bit her lip in relief.I was very embarrassed to ask, but I couldn't stand my inner demons, so I blushed, lowered my head, and asked in a low voice, "How about my breasts... how about my breasts?"

Yang Tong suppressed a smile and said, "Breasts, many mature women can't compare to you. 'Plump/breast/fat/buttocks' are just perfect for you and complement each other."

Yang Qinfang was ashamed, and ran away with a burning face: "You're talking crazy again, people ignore you."

Then, he brought over the bowl of fish soup again, and Yang Tong downed a bowl of thick and fragrant fish soup, as if the chill that entered his body in the summer night had also been dispelled a lot.

He came to Daxing City with Yang Tong besides Yang Qinfang, Li Xiuning, Yin Mingyue, and Lan Xueer. In the past few days when he caught a cold, Li Xiuning and Yin Mingyue were all hanging out in the military camp, especially Li Xiuning was doing restorative exercises every day. Knowing that Yang Qinfang wanted to be alone with Ailang very much at this time, she dragged Lan Xueer, who was still a girl, to the barracks, and entrusted the task of taking care of Yang Tong's daily life to the mistress. Yang Qinfang of the jar.

Seeing that Yang Tong, who was anorexic these days, had a good appetite, she was very happy, took the soup bowl, and asked with a smile, "Husband, do you want another bowl?"

Yang Tong shook his head, seeing the beauty looking at him with a sweet smile, with long eyelashes, bright eyes, a pretty face like flowers and jade, and delicate lips, he couldn't help feeling the love in his heart, lightly Gently took her bright wrist, and said softly: "Come here."

Yang Qinfang fainted, put down the bowl obediently, and came to him. Yang Tong stretched out his hand and fell softly into his arms. With a wide collar, he grasped a semi-exposed Wen Yu and started playing with it.This bride's body is extremely sensitive, how can she stand such teasing, she is like a snowman meeting a raging stove, her whole body melts, her whole body is uncontrollably limp into Yang Tong's arms, she quickly closes her eyes, like a docile The well-behaved kitten made a heart-stopping voice: "Husband..."

She didn't understand why she was so unbearable, as long as she thought of working with her husband in Fei, her whole body felt boneless, and she later blamed every young woman for this.

In fact, Yang Tong didn't understand either. After collecting slowly, he now has a lot of women, but after becoming a husband and wife, none of them is as unbearable as Yang Qinfang. Her muscles and bones, her limp body were trembling all the time, and she really wanted to peel her into a bleating little white sheep right away.

He is a master who does what he thinks of. He swept away everything worth a country on the long case, then picked it up, and when he put it on the case, the breath on Yang Qinfang's face was hot. Also aware of what was about to happen, that pretty face full of blushes was as gorgeous as a pomegranate, making people feel pitiful and loving, she closed her eyes nervously, and said in a friendly voice: "Husband, this is on the boat."

Yang Tong said: "With the sky as the roof, the water as the ground, the boat as the house, and the few as the couch, the whole world is just you and me, isn't it just right?"

Yang Qinfang's eyes were intoxicated by a bowl of romance, and she fell down limply. It was clear that her body and mind were ready to be tasted by you.

Yang Tong stretched out his hand and found the lively beauty's tight and slender waist, just as he picked up her belt, he heard a loud and clear voice: "My lord, my lord..."

Yang Tong didn't answer, but stopped angrily, and heard the voice calling persistently: "My lord, where are you?"

Yang Qinfang suddenly gave a "puchi" smile, and immediately bit her lips again, holding back her smile, her pretty face was flushed red, it was really cute, but there was already a mischievous smile in her eyes.

Yang Tong resentfully let her go, got up and walked out of the cabin, but saw Luo Shixin, who had the privilege of traveling through the palace city and the imperial garden, looking around, Yang Tong asked with a stern face, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, something is wrong! The Tenth Army marched into Badong County and returned in complete defeat." Luo Shixin yelled from a distance.

"What? Li Jing lost?" Yang Tong was horrified. This news made Yang Tong even more unbelievable than his own defeat.Because the generals of the Tenth Army are Li Jing, the military god, and Du Fuwei, who is as cunning as a fox.

This combination was defeated in Padang County?
"That's right, Li Shangshu has lost." Luo Shixin said with certainty with a rather ugly expression on his face.
