The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 171 On Sui Emperor Yang Guang

The men in black also relaxed when they saw that the person they wanted to report had left.Self-sacrifice is not in vain.

Although they knew that their situation was very dangerous, none of them thought of surrendering in their hearts.

Because of the people who dare to come out to commit murder in the capital, one is reckless and the other is extremely loyal to a certain organization or a certain person.

These people have taken all of these two things. Do you think they will surrender because of this?

However, Zhao Xu is still fighting for the last time: "Everyone, don't resist needlessly here. You must know your current situation. As long as you put down your weapons, I promise I won't hurt you."

"Hahaha, we are all the most loyal believers of my religion. How can we be greedy for life and afraid of death? You should die."

Zhao Xu hesitated to speak. In fact, he wanted to say what sect you belonged to, but he knew it was futile.

This kind of person should be a religious fanatic, who has a kind of blind worship for their religion. Since he can come out and kill people, he will definitely not be able to ask anything.

"Haha, do you want to ask me some questions? Don't worry, I won't tell you. Even though you are a prince, we will not be afraid of you. Our leader will take revenge on us, hahaha."

The leader of the man in black, who was later called the helmsman, laughed out loud, full of disdain and desolation.

Although Zhao Xu was very curious about what their obstruction was, he knew that he couldn't find out what it was.

According to the popular saying, this group of people has been brainwashed, so let’s help them. Who makes them loyal men? Although this kind of loyalty is based on the wrong person.

Zhao Xu turned around and said to Dong Zhenhai:

"Send them on the road well, and then bury them well." He doesn't need to worry about the rest of the matter.

Slowly walked towards Wang Linger's direction, no one knew what he was thinking, and came to Wang Linger's side.

"Ling'er, Qiong'er, are you alright. Mr. Song, are you alright?" Xiang asked them with concern.

"Caomin paid their respects to the prince. They didn't know it was the prince, so they offended him a lot along the way. Please don't blame the prince."

Song Wenxiu quickly knelt down on the ground, he didn't think that this person was the crown prince, which he didn't expect, but he just thought he was very talented.

"As the saying goes, those who don't know don't blame me. I also admire the young master's talent very much. How about I enter the palace tonight, and we can talk at night by candlelight. I hope the young master will not refuse!"

What Zhao Xu said was to ask for his opinion. In fact, he has already said it. I hope you don't refuse. The crown prince invites you and asks you not to refuse. How many people in the world dare to disobey.

You don't need to refuse yet, you should be honored to be invited by the prince, how can you refuse.

So this Zhu Wenxiu really didn't know what to do, rejecting it would be tantamount to not giving the prince face.

Don't refuse, but I'm a girl, I'm really embarrassed, and I'm in a dilemma. He heard that Zhao Xu was arranging his guards.

"You guys go back and tell your master that Gu invited your son to be a guest, um, why is it not easy to use Gu's words?"

That's how Zhao Xu finally drove those guards away, and he might die if he didn't leave.

This was what they thought, how could Zhao Xu have the same knowledge as their group of people, this is Song Wenxiu, who had no choice but to follow Zhao Xu into the palace.

But now Zhu Wenxiu doesn't know that he's going, although it's not that the sheep is feeding the tiger, but he is willing to feed the tiger with his body, hehe, this is all for later.

As for the man Zhao Xu saved, Zhao Xu had already arranged for someone to treat him, and he was no longer needed, so he had to return to the palace in a hurry.

After dinner, Zhao Xu was chatting happily with our eldest son Song in a pavilion in the back garden of the Prince's Mansion. At this time, Dong Zhenhai whispered a long word in his ear.

"Enn, well, I get it, you go down, by the way, why haven't you seen Mr. Miao in the past few days?"

Dong Zhenhai, who was about to turn around and leave, turned back again. : "Mr. Miao went to inspect the canal, why did you forget?"

It turned out that there were frequent accidents on a canal in Yangzhou a few days ago, the imperial court sent people to check, and Miao Xun followed.

He was actually going to check on the establishment of Zhao Xu's intelligence network, and to see how the businessmen in Yangzhou were preparing.

The Shibo Department will be opened in June next year, and Zhao Xu wants them to go on a long-distance ocean trip, and only Miao Xun can do this.

Fortunately, Liu Qinhu was by his side, otherwise Zhao Xu really wouldn't have dared to let him go alone.

After Dong Zhenhai withdrew, Zhao Xu didn't say anything, but kept talking about the canal.

Seeing this, Zhu Wenxiu couldn't help asking:
"Prince, is the canal you are talking about the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty, that is, the canal dug by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Zhao Xu didn't know why the little girl asked.

"It is said that the Sui Dynasty was this river, and Emperor Sui Yang built this river cruelly, such an emperor..." At this point, he stopped suddenly, and he forgot that the person next to him was the prince.

He is the future heir of the imperial court, not an ordinary person, so he can't talk nonsense here, so he stopped talking.

"Why don't you say it? I'd like to see what kind of opinion you have. Why don't you treat me like a prince or two ordinary scholars talking about the past and the present?"

He was also bold. Zhao Xu said this, and he really did it, and he started talking endlessly.

"Actually, what I want to say is that I sympathize with Emperor Sui Yang very much. Maybe we all misunderstood this emperor."

Zhu Wenxiu's point of view is not in line with this era, and I think that later generations will agree with Yang Guang's approach.

This is what Zhao Xu appreciates, which shows that he is a very thoughtful person, and Zhao Xu also likes such a person.

"Oh, Mr. Song's point of view is very novel. I hope you can explain it in detail." Zhao Xu expected this girl to surprise him.

"Actually, I read from the history books that people insulted Yang Guang like that. I really feel unworthy for him. Doesn't the crown prince feel that way?"

"Oh, in the history books, the tyranny of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was unpopular, and he lost the world in the end when all the heroes competed for the throne. What is there for Mr. Song to be worthless for him?"

"The history books are all written by the victors, even his posthumous title 'Yang' was added to him during the Tang Dynasty."

And "Yang" means to be good at inner and far, to abuse the people against the sky, and to be far away from the people, which is an extremely bad evaluation.It can be seen how disgusted the Tang Dynasty was with Yang Guang of Emperor Sui Yang.

"But I don't think he is such a person. What he deserves is the posthumous title of 'Wu' from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

Wei Qiang Ruide denounced the country for the sake of martial arts. This is a very high evaluation, but it is still positive. Zhu Wenxiu complained for Emperor Sui Yang, thinking that he should be Emperor Wu of Sui, not Emperor Yang of Sui.

Of course, he also had his reasons. When Yang Guang was in power, the Turks did not dare to invade the country, bowed their heads and proclaimed themselves ministers, and did not dare to use force against the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang opened a Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal across the north and south, making the transportation between the north and the south extremely convenient.

It is the products from the south that are easily transported to the north, which greatly parasitizes human, material and financial resources.

These are nothing, the most important thing is that he conquered Korea three times, it was really for the good of my Chinese people, but later this became an excuse to attack him.

Zhu Wenxiu finished speaking slowly, seeming to be in a heavy heart, and Zhao Xu was also listening quietly here. Why is it a bit like a later historian trying to rectify Yang Guang's name?

"Okay, Mr. Song's opinion coincides with mine, hahaha." Zhao Xu laughed heartily.

"Well, it turns out that the prince also thinks the same way and thinks that the next one is just playing tricks."

"Hey, I told you that there is no prince here, so you should call me Tianlin, so I will feel more comfortable."

Tianlin means Lin'er descended from the sky. It was a word Zhao Kuangyin gave him, but he really didn't use it much.

"Okay, Brother Tianlin." After several urgings by Zhao Xu, he finally said "Brother Tianlin" with difficulty.

However, it seems that he slowly called out:

"Brother Tianlin is also artificial in this way, I would like to hear more about it."

"Is it because Yang Guang opened the Grand Canal for his dragon boat to go to Yangzhou? Isn't he for the unification of the whole country?"

"At that time, it was difficult for Nan Chen to manage the unification soon, and he could not communicate effectively, so he dug a grand canal across the north and south, which is still the main traffic artery of the country."

"But it's a pity," said Zhao Xu, shaking his head here. He felt the pity the most.

The construction of the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty used too much manpower and material resources, and Yang Guang was also blamed for acting too hastily, for which he adopted drastic means.

As a result, this Grand Canal, like the Great Wall, is covered with bones, which also made Yang Guang the name of the eternal tyrant.

"It's a pity that Yang Guang is too eager for quick success, and he has become a tyrant in the hearts of the people through improper employment. This cannot but be said to be his tragedy."

Even Song Wenxiu, who was next to him, was deeply impressed.

"Talking about the Three Conquests to Goryeo, Yang Guang's original intention was to promote the national prestige of China, but the small country of Goryeo has repeatedly provoked our Celestial Dynasty, so he should be taught a lesson, so Yang Guang's approach is very correct."

Goryeo is a small country affiliated to the Sui Dynasty, but it doesn't respect its suzerain country very much, just like a servant of your family usually eats and uses yours, but suddenly wants to beat you.

Can you bear it? It is in this situation that Yang Guang is going to conquer Korea himself, and he wants to teach this naughty child a lesson.

Goryeo is like a child of the Sui Dynasty. If the child is disobedient, of course I will beat you up.

So that you know what an elder is, and let you learn to respect the elderly. This is a matter of course, and no one can say anything?
On the other hand, if you, Goryeo, dare to challenge my authority, then other small countries will not follow suit next time.

Then what should I do, I can only teach you a lesson, to make you convinced, and at the same time achieve the effect of deterrence, this is not said!
