Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

If you want to travel on the road, it is difficult to cross the canal. I don't know the grudges of the husband, but the peaks are still majestic.

The Sixth Route of the Great Sui Dynasty encircled and suppressed the rebel army from all directions; Feng Xiaoci of Hebei Province sent troops to Youzhou and Jizhou; Zhang Xutuo of Henan Province encircled and suppressed Puyang and Qingzhou; Chen Ling of Jiangdong Province swept away Jiankang and Jiangsu-Zhejiang; Zhangzhenzhou of Jiangnan Province pacified Jiangling and Hankou; Yin Shishi of Longyou Province attacked Wuwei and Tianshui; and Li Yuan of Hedong Province used troops to Jinyang and Datong.

For a time, the rebel armies in various places fought separately, fighting against each other with the officers and soldiers of all roads, and fighting each other. The encirclement and suppression of several official armies made Emperor Yang of Sui's imperial drive all the way smooth and smoothly returned to Daxing, Beijing.

Emperor Yang of Sui returned to the long-lost Ning'an Palace, very happy, and talked with Empress Xiao. The husband and wife were chatting, only to see Xijing staying to guard Wensheng, holding an official robe in one hand, hurriedly came to the Ning'an Palace, and met the emperor and queen, Emperor Yang of Sui sat back and asked with peace of mind: "I just arrived in Daxing, Wei Aiqing is so anxious, what is the report?".

Wei Wensheng said: "Since the robbery of the Niangniang Chitose Feng Yuan, the matter has been false, and the thieves have become more and more bold, and now there are more anti-thieves swarming, and the thousands of miles of urgent reports have been continuous, and I hope Your Majesty will deal with it quickly." "

Emperor Yang of Sui asked, "How many rebel armies are there in the world?"

"Since Your Majesty's third expedition to Goryeo, there have been five rebels and rebels. It is Zuo Xiaoyou of Qi County, Liu Miao Wang of Lishi County, Wang Deren of Ji County, Liu Jia of Yan'an, and Tang Bi of Fufeng. "

Emperor Yang said: "Order the military department to allocate money and food again, and urge all soldiers and horses to step up their efforts to fight for Kou." With this great victory in Liaodong, I want to meet the envoys of all countries again, if the envoys of all countries learn that the bandits of the Great Sui are alive, where will my face be?"

"This ......" Wei Wensheng was embarrassed for a while, and raised his eyes to look at Queen Xiao.

Empress Xiao looked at the old minister Wei Wensheng's difficulty, and persuaded on the side: "At present, the situation is urgent, and theft is frequent. "

"I pacify the Quartet, make a pilgrimage to all nations, and submit to Goguryeo, which is a good opportunity for the alliance of the world, if I don't show off my might in front of the various states, how can I show off the merits of my three expeditions to Goguryeo, this time we must meet in court. "

Seeing that Emperor

Yang of Sui was still eager to show his merits, and the husband and wife had just reconciled as before, although Empress Xiao was full of worries, she no longer admonished Emperor Yang of Sui, although Wei Wensheng said that he was helpless in his heart, but Emperor Yang of Sui was obsessed and only retreated. That's it:

Fat people can't slap their faces, how can the Celestial Empire always be vain.

Misfortune comes from the jade words of the golden mouth, only sighing that the future trouble is even more endless.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered the Quartet, and the edict was ordered to meet the envoys of all countries again, and after waiting for a few months, the envoys of various countries entered Beijing one after another. Although the smoke is everywhere, there is still a scene of peace in the pass.

Xuanwen Palace, the military officials, divided into left and right, according to the old rites, Xirong, Beidi, Dongyi, Nanban, Fanbang vassal countries, one by one to the palace, pay homage to Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, and present the tribute list.

The envoys of all

countries went to the palace one after another, kneeling down to worship the Son of Heaven, Emperor Yang of Sui had an inexplicable excitement in his heart, and after three years, he once again summoned the envoys of all nations as a victor, and his heart was overjoyed.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said, "I not only defeated Goguryeo, but also recovered the hometown of Lelang County." I have fulfilled my twelve wishes, and I ask the kings of all dynasties, who can compare?".

The envoys of all nations and the civil and military officials knelt down again, and the mountains shouted long live. Emperor Yang of Sui said: "I have always done what I have said, but some people can't believe me, and they raise troops to rebel, intending to rebel." Come on, bring Hu Sizheng up!".

A few gold-armored warriors dragged up a person who was in a stupor, it was Hu Sizheng, the soldier of the rebel festival. At this time, Hu Sizheng was escorted back to Daxing from Goguryeo, and he had already been tortured all the way to the point that he was bruised all over his body, and he was still breathing.

Looking at Hu Sizheng, who was worse than death, the envoys of various countries and the ministers of civil and military affairs felt some pity, but Emperor Yang of Sui showed a fierce light in his eyes and asked fiercely: "Once upon a time, you and Yang Xuangan and Yujuluo should cooperate with the outside world, cut off military rations, besiege the Eastern Capital, and cause chaos in the Central Plains, but the destiny of heaven is mine, and it is still me who wins!"

Hu Sizheng, who was dismantled in a cloak, raised his head slightly, looked at Emperor Yang of Sui, and said coldly: "Your Majesty...... The emperor won the battle against Goguryeo and also lost the Great Sui Dynasty. "

"Nonsense. I saw Xu Guo Gongyu scolding him and saying: "The crime of Hu Sizheng is not tolerated by heaven and earth, and people and gods are angry." If it is the same as the regular punishment, how can the thief and the rebel be punished?

Yuwen said this in a timely manner, and Emperor Yang of Sui nodded deeply: "Drag Hu Sizheng out of the Jinguang Gate, tie up the pillar, and let the ministers kill this thief with arrows!"

Hu Sizheng was escorted out by the samurai, hanging on the red lacquer pillar on the side of the Jinguang Gate, and waited until three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was shining, the sun was scorching, and I saw Emperor Yang of Sui leading the envoys of all countries and hundreds of civil and military officials, and came to the Jinguang Gate together.

Emperor Yang of Sui said: "In order to punish the former and the latter, Kuang Zheng was loyal, and ordered all the ministers to have one arrow and one arrow, and pierced the thief with arrows!"

The

guards in front of the palace took out hundreds of big bows and distributed them to hundreds of officials, those generals didn't say a word, they put their bows on the arrows, and dozens ......of random arrows were shot out together, and Hu Sizheng was killed in an instant. Those civil officials, some who could shoot, some who couldn't shoot, those who couldn't shoot, those who dared to look but didn't dare to look, all shot an arrow.

Yang Guang spit out angrily: "Break Hu Sizheng's corpse into ten thousand pieces, crush the bones and scatter ashes, and quit future generations!"

Seeing that Hu Sizheng died without a place to be buried, no one dared to say anything about the ministers of civil and military affairs and the envoys of various countries. Emperor Yang of Sui said: "Traitorous thieves, innocent of death, I want you to see who will dare to take in traitors in the future." "

Before the words fell, Emperor Yang of Sui glanced at the envoys next to him, and suddenly asked, "Where is the envoy of Goguryeo?"

Yu Shiji replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Goguryeo did not send envoys to pay tribute. "

Only the envoy of Goguryeo was not seen, and

on the day of great joy, Emperor Yang of Sui secretly suppressed his heart, so he asked: "When the three expeditions to Liaodong, Goguryeo sued for peace, and was willing to pay tribute and be a minister, and the husband was full of words, why did he dare not come to the envoy?".

Yu Shiji said: "Since the surrender of Goguryeo, there has been no news, neither an envoy nor a tribute. "

Emperor Yang of Sui

was suddenly angry, and in front of hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys from various countries, Emperor Yang of Sui said: "I have conquered Goguryeo three times, pacified Liaodong, recovered Lelang, and Weijia Hainei." Now that Goguryeo is a vassal state of the Great Sui Dynasty, it has turned its face and refused to admit its account, neither calling itself a minister nor paying tribute, and has deceived the monarch, how can it be justified?"

As soon as these words came out, the hundred officials were dumbfounded, and the envoy was surprised, and the old minister Su Wei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty temporarily extinguishes the wrath of the thunder, Goguryeo is far away from the border, uneducated, untrustworthy, light and rude, it is inevitable, if I deal with it everywhere, the gains outweigh the losses." "

At this time, the Great Sui did not lack Goguryeo's tribute at all, but Emperor Yang of the Sui felt that he had no face, Yang Guang looked at everyone's expressions, his eyes were sharp, and said: "I want to conquer Goguryeo again." "

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty reconsidered the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, Su Wei, Yu Wenshu, Pei Yun, and Yu Shiji bowed their heads and were silent, and other civil and military officials were even more silent.

Seeing that no one in the court dared to speak, let alone make suggestions, Emperor Yang of Sui asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, all the envoys, we are invincible, only Goguryeo rebelled and sent troops to fight, isn't it right?"

Everyone still didn't dare to speak, and they all resisted in a silent way, and the more they resisted Emperor Yang of Sui, the more impatient they became, and said: "Spread the decree, recruit military service, and prepare for the spring and east crusade in the eleventh year of the great cause." With that, Emperor Yang of Sui brushed his sleeves away.

The Wanguo Dynasty will be embarrassed and dispersed, and Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty returned to the Ning'an Palace, sleeping alone in the bedroom, holding the sword in his arms, and being silent. Empress Xiao saw that Yang Guang was unhappy, so she had to sit in the outhouse silently, Chen Guiren saw the queen's thoughts, and asked: "Why is the queen so worried, so sad?"

Empress Xiao said: "The court meeting of all nations, the emperor mentioned the eastern expedition to Goguryeo, but I am afraid that the world will really be in chaos." "

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to conquer Goguryeo four times?" asked Chen Guiren.

Empress Xiao nodded, and Chen Guiren asked again: "Su Wei and Yu Wenshu, these auxiliary ministers, have not advised the emperor?"

"The emperor is like a demon, so happy, bent on conquering Goguryeo, and now the people are overwhelmed, and they rise up to conquer Goryeo, but I am afraid that the chaos will become bigger and bigger. "

Empress Xiao and Chen Guiren were chatting, when they suddenly heard the emperor sigh and beat his chest and complain. Xiao Jun got up and went over, and when she saw Emperor Yang of Sui in a daze on her back, Empress Xiao sat on the edge of the bed and comforted: "Your Majesty, why should you embarrass yourself so much, Goguryeo has handed over Hu Sizheng and returned to Lelang County, why should you still have trouble with that Goguryeo." "

"I want to conquer Goguryeo, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and no one offers advice, who knows my heart?" Emperor Yang of Sui was asking himself, when he suddenly thought of a person and asked, "Where is Zhang Heng now?"

Empress Xiao said: "Zhang Heng has been living in Hedong since he was dismissed. "

"Zhang Heng knows my heart best, if he is by my side, there will be a good strategy for the east. "Emperor Yang of Sui said.

Xiao Jun was worried that Yang Guang was in a hurry to start a war and wanted to divert Emperor Yang's desire to go to the East, so he said: "Since the emperor misses Zhang Heng, it is better to tour Fenyang Palace and visit the courtiers. "

When Emperor Yang of Sui heard this, he was in a good mood and said: "The Empress of the Knowers is also full of melancholy and dissipates in an instant. "

After a few days, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty issued a decree to drive the Fenyang Palace, the golden gong umbrella cover, the flag covered the sun, the harem attendants, the hundred officials accompanied, the carriage and horse honor guard, echoing each other from afar. That's it:

All the way north into the east of the river, so the friendship revisited the Fenyang Palace.

Loyal ministers are loyal to their own advice, and now it is not what it used to be.

To make a long story short, Emperor Yang of Sui drove to Fenyang Palace and first summoned Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng came to the palace garden and met the emperor and the queen over tea and chatting. The two saints are all dressed in plain clothes, and they don't see the glory of the dragon and phoenix in the past.

Zhang Heng walked quickly to the front and met the second saint. After not seeing each other for many years, Emperor Yang of Sui was quite generous and invited Zhang Heng to sit down, taste fragrant tea, a few plates of snacks, and put them on the table. Emperor Yang of Sui said: "You and I haven't seen each other for several years, and I have been fighting in the east and west, and I have never been worried. "

"Zhang Heng is a grass people, and he is grateful to be favored by His Majesty. "

Emperor Yang of Sui said: "You had the merit of supporting your life back then, and I summoned you this time to reactivate it and let you make meritorious deeds again." "

Zhang Heng hurriedly got up, lifted his robe and knelt down: "Before and after the saddle, never give up!"

Emperor Yang of Sui was overjoyed, helped Zhang Heng up, and said: "Last month, all countries came to the court, but Goguryeo did not claim to be a minister, did not pay tribute, ignored the Celestial Empire, and wanted to conquer Goguryeo again and entrust you with military and political power. "

Seeing that Emperor Yang of Sui was determined to win, but Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment before he hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty's martial arts, Emperor Qin, and Han Wu, why bother for a little Goguryeo, worry about your stomach, and fight for martial arts?"

As soon as he heard Zhang Heng's advice, Emperor Yang of Sui's face fell, and suddenly there was no light, Empress Xiao saw that Yang Guang was not in the right mood, looked at Zhang Heng and shook his head lightly, asking him to say less advice.

However, Zhang Heng is loyal to Yang Guang, knows everything, says everything, and is not afraid of being killed because of admonition. Zhang Heng knelt down for the second time and said: "Your Majesty, the words of loyalty are contrary to the ear, and the ministers are proclaimed, and now the taxes and servitude are unbearable, the villagers are rebellious, the people are exposed, and the people from all walks of life are surrounded and suppressed, and there is a slight improvement. If you conquer Goryeo again, you will only be afraid that the chaos will increase, and the ministers will risk death to admonish you, and Your Majesty will see it. "

"I am dictatorial, my achievements cover a thousand years, and the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are less than half, why do you need outsiders to advise?" Emperor Yang of Sui was displeased.

Seeing that the emperor did not accept his advice, Zhang Heng became more and more anxious, moved a few steps forward on his knees, and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is in urgent need of exhaustion, and the people are in danger of being overhanged. "

"Bang!" With a bang, Emperor Yang of Sui slapped the table case angrily, and the dishes and bowls shook on the table, and Emperor Yang of Sui said angrily to the left and right: "Zhang Heng is rude, slandering the government, take it left and right, and put him on death row!" Several gold-armored warriors surrounded him, pressed down Zhang Heng, and escorted him to arrest.

Emperor Yang of Sui took off his robe and left, and Empress Xiao hurriedly followed. Back in the dormitory, he was furious, and Emperor Yang of Sui said to the eunuch beside him: "Break Zhang Heng's body into ten thousand pieces, and crush the bones and scatter ashes!"

Empress Xiao hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry, Zhang Heng is also worried about Sheji, and he has no second ......."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Yang of Sui said angrily: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who dares to admonish the people of the world, who dares to disobey? Zhang Heng is a thief, alarmist, self-defeating, and killed!"

"There are so many things that can be done in the world, why does Your Majesty hold on to Goguryeo, an opponent?"

"When did I regard Goguryeo as an opponent? Turkic, Northern Qi, Southern Chen, Yizhou, Linyi, Tuyuhun, Yiwu, Yang Liang, Yang Xuangan, and Wang Bo are all counted together, and I have never seen an opponent in the world. Today's event must be to kill Zhang Heng. "

Empress Xiao

tried every means to persuade Emperor Yang of Sui to kill, seeing that the eunuch was about to pass the decree, Empress Xiao held back tears in her eyes, and said: "If Your Majesty has to kill Zhang Heng, I hope that Your Majesty will read it for the sake of the young man's best friend, and let the concubine pass the decree on his behalf and give him self-determination." "

Thinking of the interaction when he was a teenager, Emperor Yang of Sui calmed his anger a little and allowed Empress Xiao to pass on the decree on his behalf and give Zhang Heng his own judgment. That's it:

The conceited king is higher than the sky, and his anger is against his ears.

I have cherished the past several times in my life, and I am only drunk and forget the past years.

Zhang Heng sat on death row alone, full of grief and resentment, unable to convince Yang Guang. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and I saw two eunuchs coming with a holy decree, followed by Empress Xiao.

"The Holy Decree has arrived. A eunuch said.

Zhang Heng hurriedly knelt down, and another eunuch unfolded the holy decree and said: "The emperor has an edict, Zhang Heng slandered the government and government, and made disrespectful remarks, so he was specially given to self-judgment." Chin this. "

Zhang Heng was silent for a long time, staring blankly at the holy decree. Empress Xiao said: "You risked death to admonish and angered Long Yan, and now, even if the mourning family is dedicated to protecting you, there is no way to recover it." "

Zhang Heng said: "Thank you Niangniang, the minister knows the crime, but he can't be a good minister with hatred, and he can no longer assist His Majesty to calm the Quartet." "

"You are the emperor's young friend, you should know the emperor's temper best, why don't you ignore your net worth and die without regrets?"

Zhang Heng's eyes were full of tears, unwilling, and replied: "Three crusades, the people are thieves, the courtiers are centrifugal, and in the long run, the Great Sui is in danger." "

Speaking of Jiangshan Sheji, Queen Xiao felt bitter in her heart, and Mo Ran said: "Although the mourning family is the queen, it can't moisten the people, and the mother is the world, it's really ashamed, even you, a loyal minister, can't keep it." "

"To be able to win the trust of the mother, it is enough for the minister to die, I just hope that the prosperity of the Great Sui is always there, the day of the minister's death, the year of his life. "

Empress Xiao waved her hand with tears, and at this moment, she was like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, and turned away. The eunuch handed over the white silk, and Zhang Heng took the white silk, hung it on the beam of the prison, and hanged himself.

Empress Xiao couldn't bear to lose a courtier like Zhang Heng, so she returned to the palace with melancholy

Li Yuan said: "Qi Yu Niangniang, there is an urgent military situation in Yanmen County, and the Yulin thief Guo Zihe learned that His Majesty came to Hedong and colluded with the Turks with the intention of rebellion. The Turkic soldiers and horses are rushing to Yanmen Pass. "

When Empress Xiao heard this, she was shocked, and not far north of Fenyang Palace was Yanmen, and the Turks were going south, and they were in danger.
