Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

A few days later, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty held a grand banquet in the Qianyang Palace. Prince Yang Zhao personally welcomed the guests at the banquet. Officials from the Manchu Dynasty and successful candidates accompanied the emperor and queen to the banquet in the Qianyang Palace..

The decoration of the main hall is gorgeous and ingenious, which is pleasing to the eye and congratulated by everyone. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was overjoyed. Yang Guang picked up the wine bottle and said:"My dear friends, this is the year of the dragon and tiger. The country is prosperous, all industries are prosperous, the canal is opened, the Eastern Capital is completed, and this autumn we will open schools to recruit scholars, and we will recruit talented people from all over the world. , let's drink and talk happily and celebrate the Chinese New Year together."

Civil and military officials and successful candidates raised their glasses and celebrated together.

After drinking a glass of fine wine, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"I am very drunk today, and my poetry is also strong, and there are scholars and scholars. Why not take this opportunity to compose poems over wine and create a gathering of talents." Hundreds of officials and scholars praised him, and Xu Guogong Yu Wen He recounted:"Your Majesty's literary and martial arts skills are hard to find in ancient times. I also asked your Majesty to compose poems, which is so elegant." Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty smiled and nodded, and asked Empress Xiao:"The empress thought that today was a good day, so she drank wine and composed poems. What should she choose? What's the best title?"

Queen Xiao said,"Tonight the stars are bright and dot the sky, so why not write a poem on the theme of stars to celebrate?"

"Wonderful, wonderful. Tonight, we will write a poem with the theme of stars. I named it"Fenghe Yuzhi's poem about watching the stars on a moonlit night to show to all the officials."》"

In the main hall, pens, inks, paper and inkstones were placed. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"My uncle Xiao Cong, you are the chief minister of the dynasty, so you should write poems first.""

"The minister obeys the order."Xiao Cong, the Duke of Ju, came to the table, looked at the stars through the palace door, and wrote a poem called"Fenghe Imperial Poetry to Watch the Stars at Night to Show Hundreds of Officials":

Yang Jing goes to the southern continent, and the big sun begins in the west. Flow. The evening wind is sad and thanks to the summer heat, and the night air welcomes the new autumn. The moon on the heavy door has been reflected, and the tight city leakage is gradually repaired. The wind comes out of the pavilion, and the moon covers the floor. The goddess is separated by the spiritual river, and the fairy bridle moves the star ox.

Yuheng Pointing to the fall of the building, the Yaoguang remains on the screen. I only know that there is no reason to ride on the chariot.

Xiao Cong's literary talent is flying, he writes and chants as he writes, and the poems are completed in one go, which is very praiseworthy. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was very poetic when he was drinking. After reading Longyan Dayue said:"My uncle is so talented that he can be the leader of hundreds of officials."

Xiao Cong was well versed in poetry and was respectful, so he humbly replied:"I'm ashamed of myself. When it comes to poetry and poetry, I'm not as good as secretary Lang Yuan Qing. It's better to ask Yuan Qing to be a virtuous writer again."

"Yuan Aiqing, please accompany your uncle and make a song too"

"Weak ministers show their ugliness."Secretary Lang Yuan Qing was also one of the best poets in the Sui Dynasty. He bowed to Xiao Cong and came to the bookcase to compose a poem: The six dragons first disappeared, and the rabbits began to shine. There was a night leak in the Rongjing, and the evening was ushering in the mountain courtyard. It's cool.

Chen lives in many places and takes a leisurely walk out of the forest hall. The bright stars are moving, and the clear river is long. The green road moves to the sky, and the North Pole turns to Wenchang. The branches of the trees are still hidden, and the cliffs are half encroached.

Looking up, I can see the jade and Yu, Rui moves the metal phase. No mediocre person clings to silence, so why continue with the series of chapters.

Yuan Qing wrote the second poem"Fenghe Yuzhi to watch the stars on a moonlit night to show hundreds of officials". Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty drank a glass of turbid wine with great joy and said:" Xiao Cong is from the south of the Yangtze River, and Yuan Qing is from the north. Talented people from the north and the south each bring their own strengths. Now I will choose a talented person from the south to write a poem. Most of the officials in the court were from the north. Everyone looked around to find talents from the south. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:" Yu

Shiji, you are not only from the south of the Yangtze River, but also a Jinshi in this autumn. You must take advantage of this good opportunity and leave your masterpieces.""

"Obey the decree."This fifty-year-old old Jinshi was excited and full of emotions. Seeing that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty valued him so much, he wrote the third poem"Fenghe Imperial Controller's Stargazing on a Moon Night to Show Hundreds of Officials":

In the early autumn, the splendid scenery is twilight. The crescent moon is colorful. The cool breeze washes away the heat, and the dew purifies the dust. The mist clears the light curtains, and the fresh clouds roll up the evening scales. The light shines before the sun shines, and the auspicious colors catch up with the heavy wheels. The love blows away the holy algae, and the destiny is Xu Chen.

Sucao is sincere to Chongqing, bragging about Jin gentry. It is not easy to describe astronomy, only one knows how to look up to Beichen.

After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty read this poem, he praised it with Empress Xiao, and named Yu Shiji as the Minister of Internal Affairs in the hall. Yang Guang was also full of talents. One person, carrying a wine bottle, stepped down from Danbi, came to the crowd of ministers, and said:"I am really happy today. The world's talented people and great sages have gathered together. I and all the ministers will drink this cup.". Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty drank it all in one gulp, walked up to Zhuge Ying, the doctor who was discussing the matter, and said,"Doctor Zhuge is my and the empress's imperial advisor. He has a deep reputation. I would like to invite Dr. Zhuge to write an article tonight.""

Zhuge Ying followed the order, walked to the desk, and wrote the fourth poem"Fenghe Imperial System for Stargazing on a Moon Night to Show Hundreds of Officials": The graceful God lives far away, and the depression is deeper. The thin smoke clears the distant colors, and the height is high. The trees are cleared of shadows.

The stars and the moon are full of stars in the night, and the splendor is still there. The pearls are about to rise to the east, and the fans are gradually sinking to the west. The clear water contains leaning people, and the trees are hidden in the horizontal ginseng.

I often hear of the sending of watchdogs, and often see birds around the branches. Holy love Remembering the rest, the jade reappeared as gold.

After reading this poem, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty drank another bottle, with a trace of drunkenness on his face. Queen Xiao advised him:"The wine is over, the emperor must not drink anymore."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty took advantage of the strength of the wine, shook his arms, threw away the wine bottle, and laughed loudly:"Tonight is really a 'drinking and singing, what's life like? 'Tonight, as the wine is in full swing, I will also recite poems and compose poems to have fun with all your family members!"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty took a pen and ink and wrote a poem, named"Poetry for Stargazing on a Moon Night": The moon is pure and clear, and the evening scenery is clear. The valley spring scares the dark rocks, and the pine wind stirs the sound of the night. Putting on clothes and leaving Jinghu,

Walking quietly on the mountain, I am happy to see the bright hall and the level of the terrace. I can still recognize the ginseng and the oxen.

I turn the handle of the bucket and the sky and the river are horizontal for a long time. I can't sleep because I am full of emotions. All the court officials and the new scholars knelt down, kowtowed to the ground, and shouted long live the mountain. Everyone was paying tribute and the wine was in full swing. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty showed off his talent and was very proud. He drank swayingly, waved his sleeves and walked to the back hall, drunkenly. It was time to rest.

None of the ministers dared to get up, and they were still kneeling on the ground. Queen Xiao felt that they were almost drunk, so she said:"Your Majesty is tired, please get down.""

With the Queen's words, everyone dared to stand up. Everyone had drank a lot with Emperor Sui Yang tonight, and they were feeling a little tired. They were about to leave the court, when they saw one person in the main hall who couldn't kneel down and was still lying down. He was lying on the ground.

Everyone was stunned. The person lying on the ground was wearing a bright yellow satin rolling dragon robe. He was wide and fat. He was lying on the ground like a huge stone. This person was no one else. He was the dignified prince Yang Zhao.

"Maybe he drank too much."The imperial censor Zhang Heng walked up to him, patted the prince Yang Zhao gently, and asked:"Your Highness, Your Highness.……"

After calling several times in a row, Prince Yang Zhao remained silent and silent. Everyone who was about to retreat suddenly panicked. Yu Wenshu, Xue Daoheng, Pei Yun and other ministers gathered around and helped call the prince. You pushed me to call, but there was no response after calling for a long time.

Empress Xiao, who was standing on the throne, saw what was happening in front of her and felt that something was wrong. She walked to the main hall in person, knelt down and called to Prince Yang Zhao.

"Send the message to the imperial doctor quickly!"

Empress Xiao knows her son very well. Prince Yang Zhao is not only wide and fat, but also his fat body causes many diseases. Today, he is happy with his father and overeats a lot of wine and meat, which will inevitably cause illness. In the main hall Several eunuchs came over to help and carried the prince to the Yunxiao Hall of the palace. The imperial doctor hurried over to diagnose the pulse of the prince Yang Zhao and make an inspection. The imperial doctor said:"The prince is fat and has a very weak pulse. Dizziness and stroke."

Zhang Heng asked the imperial doctor to quickly prescribe the medicine and ordered his servants to go get the medicine. After struggling for half the night, Zhang Heng personally carried the boiled Chinese medicine to the wing of Yunxiao Hall. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a cry from the Queen, and he was immediately filled with blood. Pupils, like five thunders striking the head

"With a clang, the large bowl filled with traditional Chinese medicine fell to the ground. The eunuchs and maids in the room fell to their knees one after another. Everyone knew that the 23-year-old prince Yang Zhao died in a whimper.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty woke up early in the morning and learned the bad news about the prince Yang Zhao. He was greedy for money and ruined the prince's life. He could only regret it extremely. Three days later, Emperor Yang Zhao of the Sui Dynasty ordered everyone in the eastern capital to pay tribute to the prince Yang Zhao for three months as a sign of mourning, and he posthumously awarded the prince Yang Zhao the title of Prince Yuande. This is what it is:

The Sui Dynasty emperor wrote thousands of poems about love, and his diction was like an immortal class. When he was extremely happy, he became sad. The prince was obese and sickly.

After chanting, the starry night shines happily, and it is difficult to escape from the gate of hell even if you are drunk. Don't be greedy in drinking meat and wine that hurts people. You will never pay back as much as you want.

A gathering of talented people ended up costing the life of the crown prince Yang Zhao. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Xiao looked sad all day long. Yang Zhao died of illness and had to be replaced by the crown prince. Seeing the days passing by, the ministers were also anxious.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not attend to the affairs of the court for many days, and the ministers were waiting outside Qianyang Palace, waiting for the emperor's summons. Seeing that it was getting late and the weather was getting colder, the waiting ministers still gathered around and waited.

After Empress Xiao worshiped the Buddha and burned incense in the side hall, she saw that the ministers outside the main hall had been standing outside for a whole day. She couldn't bear it, so she walked into the Qianyang Hall to see the emperor.

A candle in the Qianyang Palace was flickering with fire, adding a bit of desolation to the palace. Emperor Sui Yang was sitting alone in the room and was in a daze. Queen Xiao came in and said:"Your Majesty, the ministers have been waiting all day. Let's meet."

After listening to Empress Xiao's persuasion, Emperor Sui Yang agreed and let the ministers enter the palace to see her.

The officials entered the Qianyang Palace and paid homage to the emperor and empress. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not say a word. Empress Xiao said:"Dear ministers, please tell me if you have anything to say."

Xiao Cong, Duke of Ju, and Yu Wenshu, Duke of Xu, looked at each other. Yu Wenshu hinted that Xiao Cong should speak first. After all, Xiao Cong was the uncle of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Xiao Cong bowed and said:"Your Majesty, the Sui Dynasty cannot do without a crown prince. The prince has passed away. I hope the emperor will establish a crown prince early and follow the convention."

Yu Wenshu Then he said:"What my uncle said is right. Although the prince has passed away, there are still three emperors and grandchildren. Moreover, King Yang Jian of Qi is also in the court, so the emperor can consider it."

Emperor Sui Yang said:"You dear princes think that this prince is the right one. Such a good choice? It’s not like I haven’t thought about establishing a heir in the past few days. The first thing that came to my mind was King Qi Yang Jian. However, King Qi spends all his time making noises and not doing his job. He is so frivolous. How can he be worthy of such a big responsibility?"

Yu Wenshu said:" If your majesty feels that it is difficult to choose the prince, you can also appoint the emperor's grandson as the crown prince from among the three grandsons."

Emperor Sui Yang shook his head and asked:"The king of Yan, Yang Tan, is less than four years old, the king of Yue, Yang Tong, is two years old. Wang Yangyou has just turned one year old. I would like to ask you, the three princes and grandsons who are still in Mengtong, how can you know who is virtuous and who is mediocre?"

When everyone thought about it, it was the same. The only prince, King Yang Jian of Qi, was a dandy and it was hard to be a good boy. Da Ren, Yang Zhao's three imperial grandsons were too young, and everyone was speechless for a while.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"I have thought about it. Since I can't find a suitable candidate, it is better to wait until all the border troubles in the Sui Dynasty are eliminated. Then it will not be too late to establish the crown prince.""

"The Holy Emperor!"The ministers had no choice but to return to their residences.

After everyone left the Qianyang Palace, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty could not choose the crown prince, so he sat helplessly on the imperial stool. Queen Xiao said:"Excuse me, I must say frankly that after the death of the prince, the heir of the royal family, Taishao Ding, , except for the concubine, there is no concubine in the harem. It is time for the emperor to have a concubine."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"Since the death of Mrs. Xuanhua, only the queen has been with me for a long time. I have never seen a woman who can complement me.

Queen Xiao asked:"What do you think of Xiao Jingyan, Your Majesty?""

"ah? What does the queen mean? Empress Xiao said:"Jingyan was born in a wealthy family since she was a child. She is fluent in poetry and calligraphy. Although her family suffered misfortunes, she has been through many hardships and hardships. Over the years, she has received some training in the palace and learned etiquette." I feel that among the many concubines, Xiao Jingyan is the most sensible and can be regarded as a virtuous housekeeper in the palace.

After Empress Xiao praised her, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty suddenly became enlightened and asked:"Is the Empress really going to make Xiao Jingyan her concubine?""

"If Jingyan can serve His Majesty, my concubine can feel more at ease, why not?"Emperor Sui Yang nodded happily.......
