Fang Jie and the others were drinking and discussing current affairs in the gazebo on the bank of the Yangtze River and the Yishui River. Everyone here has their own strengths, they are prominent, and their minds are not in the same direction, but they are looking in the same direction. Although Duan Zheng, the general of the navy, felt dissatisfied, lost his temper after drinking and cried bitterly, but what can he do now
Wu Yidao is a businessman who knows no bounds and no country, and what he has seen and experienced is far from what other people can compare, so he can afford and let go of what Duan Zheng wants. During the banquet, no one was closer to the earth and heaven than him. Ordinary people daydreamed about how the emperor lived and worshiped him as a god, but he saw the emperor eating, drinking, and pecking, and regarded it as normal.
That's why there is the saying that you can only look far when you climb high. People who squat in low-lying places always have only one acre of land in front of them.
The trend of the world is like this. Going with the trend is like sailing a ship with the current for thousands of miles. Going against the trend is like sailing against the current and it is difficult to make an inch. Now that all the heroes in the world are rising together, what follows is the chaos in the world. The emperor wanted to turn the tide, but instead became a contrarian. Once upon a time, the emperor's words and deeds were the general trend, and he pointed out the country while talking and laughing. If the Sui Dynasty was a ship, he would be the helmsman. Wherever he was going, he pointed the direction and it was a foregone conclusion.
Perhaps because of this, the dignitaries who have raised the flag to rebel now will have a little pleasure.
It was also on this day that a corner of Miaofeng Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River collapsed, and a large rock rolled down. It is said that there were several clearly visible characters on the fallen boulder, which said that Yongxing was destroyed in the Sui Dynasty.
For some reason, the news spread like a gust of wind, and it didn't take long for it to spread across half the world. It was also on this day that Luo Yao, the former left avant-garde general of the Great Sui Dynasty, was promoted to King Yong in the south of the Yangtze River.
Still on this day, several auxiliary ministers in Chang'an City had an urgent discussion for two full hours, their faces were flushed red, they didn't know how many teacups they threw, and they cursed your mother a few times. Finally, after their anger subsided, they finally reached an agreement. unanimous. Regardless of whether the emperor is alive or dead, now they only think that the emperor is dead. Several important ministers entered the palace to meet the empress, and discussed for another hour in Fengluan Palace. When the ministers bowed and exited, the empress's eyes were red with tears.
The drum in front of the Taiji Palace suddenly rang, and the officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital hurried to the Taiji Hall when they heard the sound of the drum. Hundreds of courtiers came in anxiously, and saw an adult in filial piety standing on the high platform in front of the Taiji Hall holding a A bright yellow decree is already waiting.
That is the imperial edict of the empress.
The emperor personally conquered the extermination bandits and the Northwest of the Sui Dynasty, and wiped out the bandits invincibly, but God did not give orders, His Majesty died of a serious illness, and Long Yu returned to heaven. The world cannot be without a master for a day, and the Great Sui cannot be without an emperor for a day, so after urgent discussions between the empress and the auxiliary ministers, the prince Yang Chengqian was welcomed to the throne immediately and became the great treasure.
All the officials in the field were stunned, and they didn't know who wailed first, followed by a sound of sorrow, overwhelming. Regardless of whether it is true or not, dozens of ministers passed out from crying in front of the Taiji Hall that day, and hundreds of crying ones lost their strength and couldn't stand up. The imperial guards helped them up one by one. Whether it was rubbing or crying, in short, the eyes and nose were all red.
The prince Yang Chengqian, who was only ten years old, became the new emperor of the Sui Dynasty. The child wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair still had a dazed and fearful face.
The maids were busy sewing white cloths on the outside of the court uniforms for all the ministers. For a while, white flags rose in the Tai Chi Palace, like a layer of goose feather snow falling in summer.
The mourning drum was beating in the imperial city, and the city of Chang'an was stunned for hundreds of miles.
After the common people heard the news that the emperor had passed away in the northwest, they were all stunned. No one could believe how the upright emperor died like this in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period? They still vaguely remember the high spirits of the emperor when he left the city in person, as if it was just yesterday, and he didn't go far. When the emperor ascended the throne, the scene of waving to the people at the gate of the Taiji Palace did not go far.
The young man stood there at a loss, while the old man fell to the ground weeping bitterly.
The new emperor was young, so the assistant ministers appointed by the emperor before his conquest would naturally have to be more careful. The enthronement ceremony was held first, and then they discussed who would lead the army to welcome the emperor's coffin back. Of course, the latter is just for show. At the beginning, the emperor left three people as the heads of the courtiers, one was Pei Yan, the servant of Huangmen, one was Zong Lianghu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and the other was Niu Huilun, a university scholar. Generals Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing led their troops back to Beijing. The first thing they did was to arrest Pei Yan and copy Pei's house. Therefore, under the presence of the empress, the number of auxiliary ministers increased from three to four, with two literary and two military.
University scholar Niu Huilun was ordered by the queen mother to serve as a servant, and Zong Lianghu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was promoted to Nayan. The other two auxiliary ministers, the courtiers would definitely not agree to be appointed by military generals, but the situation forced them to make decisions. Yang Shunhui, the general guarding the city of Chang'an, was personally appointed by the empress, and the entire capital was guarded by soldiers, and it was a matter of course that he was a royal family. General Xu Xiaogong went back to Beijing for thousands of miles to eradicate traitors and sycophants, so he was also among them.
At this time, people noticed that the empress, who was always respected for her gentleness and virtue, was so decisive. In the past few years since the emperor succeeded to the throne, the empress has never intervened in the government affairs of the previous dynasty, and has kept the harem in order. Except for some grand ceremonies that had to be attended, he rarely showed his face.
However, in the face of such a difficult situation, she handled it extremely well. Use what you should use, kill what you should kill, without any hesitation.
In the south of the Yangtze River, when King Yong was promoted to the throne, the sky was full of gongs and drums, colorful flags were displayed and firecrackers were sounding, and the soldiers were wearing red and hanging colors. In Chang'an City, the emperor was mourning for his death, white flags were rolled up, drums and whips were beat, and courtiers were dressed in plain white shirts.
Changjiang head
The young man surnamed Fang didn't know whether he had sensed something or was thoughtful because of the topic. He first looked east and then north, then lowered his head and took a sip of his wine. The characters still look at the present.
…
…
Fang Jie and others boarded the big boat and headed upstream, boarded the boat at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Yishui River, and then went all the way west to enter the Huangniu River. It took at least seven days to walk on the waterway. Then turn south at Guchuan County, Huangyang Road, and walk for about ten days to reach Suzaku Mountain. Before that, Wu Yidao assigned people to send the raised grain and grass to the cottage first, and Luo Weiran was in charge of escorting it.
Since Wu Yidao chose Fang Jie, it was tantamount to unlocking a huge door of convenience for Fang. With the huge foundation of Hutong Tianxia, although due to the civil war, the communication between the various branches has been cut off a lot, and the business is not getting better day by day, but Wu Yiyi doesn't feel distressed at all, this is an inevitable thing, and he can't change it at all. .
Moreover, the world of goods is the emperor's.
Now it's his own. In the past, no matter how big the Hutong World Bank was, he was only in charge of it. Now, no matter how broken the Hutong World Bank is, he is also in charge.
Standing at the bow of the boat, watching the thousands of sails advance together, my heart also became cheerful. The great river flows on and on, just as irreversible as history moves forward forever. Fang Jie stood upright against the wind, and suddenly had the urge to shout. To be honest, Fang Jie never imagined that one day he would play such a big game when he just came to this world.
Yes, it's a game.
It's just that not many people in this world are qualified to play.
In the previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and the ultimate fantasy was just buying a lottery ticket to win a big prize. In this life, Fang Jie spent more than ten years getting used to it, from running away to becoming an official and now officially entering the game. Until now, Fang Jie sometimes thinks back, and still feels that all this is not real, like a dream.
It was as if God had thrown him here just to wait for today.
to be honest
He is very happy
After the initial nervousness and apprehension dissipated, it was joy. If it were anyone who came from time travel, I'm afraid I would be happy in my heart. The beauty is on the side, and the mountains and rivers are in sight. If you are not high-spirited, how can you be worthy of everything in front of you
"What are you thinking?"
Wu Yiyi walked up to him and stopped and asked with a smile.
"What do you want to do tomorrow?"
Fang Jie answered.
Wu Yidao nodded: "It's right to think about tomorrow. Don't always think about yesterday or even today too much. Thinking too much yesterday is a proof that you have begun to age. If you think too much today, You will worry about gains and losses. Only by thinking more about tomorrow will you go more smoothly."
"Lord Hou."
Fang Jie glanced at Wu Yiyi and said seriously, "I want to laugh."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wu Yidao laughed first, very calmly: "When you are young and proud, why don't you laugh and pretend to be deep? It's uncomfortable, laugh, why don't you laugh?"
Fang Jie also laughed out loud.
The two stood side by side on the bow of the boat, riding the wind and waves.
…
…
To the southeast of Hedong Road is Shaanxi North Road. After crossing Shaanxi North Road, it enters the Central Plains boundary that people recognize in a narrow sense. After crossing Shaanxi North Road for 1,600 miles, it enters Jiangbei Road, and then crosses 600 miles. Enter Gyeonggi-do at an angle to the north.
Hedong Road is still mountainous, and when entering Shanbei Road, it is a plateau, but there is no shortage of rain here, so the people are quite rich. There are many rich people in northern Shaanxi, and the customs here are slightly different from those in the Central Plains. Because there are too many businessmen, the concept of ranks such as scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen is relatively vague.
Therefore, we often see large-scale privately built manors in places with beautiful mountains and rivers. In fact, it seems more appropriate to call them castles. It is generally built on a high slope according to the terrain, and the courtyard wall is as tall and strong as a city wall, and there are many private soldiers guarding the courtyard.
Such a fortress, even if it is besieged by thousands of people, it may not be easy to break through.
On the official road, more than two hundred knights in fresh clothes and furious horses galloped along the official road guarding a carriage. There was no sign on the carriage, but just looking at the knights, one could tell that ordinary wealthy families would never afford such elite bodyguards. Although these knights did not wear armor, as long as they were cultivators, they could tell at a glance that they were all well-cultivated.
The driver was an old man who looked to be about fifty years old. His complexion was very fair, the kind of whiteness that has not seen the sun all year round, as if covered with a thick layer of white powder. He sat on the slightly bumpy carriage and his body rose and fell with the carriage, which was so harmonious, as if he was a part of the carriage itself, so no matter how bumpy it was, it would not affect him in any way.
He turned his head to talk to the people in the carriage from time to time, but the people in the carriage rarely responded.
"Your Majesty..."
The old man who was driving said while waving his horsewhip: "If your Majesty feels bored, open the window. The scenery of the North Shaanxi Road is quite good. If you have been driving for so many days, if you feel unwell, please tell your maidservant, and this maidservant will stop to support you." Get down and walk around."
"No need."
A short and deep answer came from the carriage: "Until Chang'an City...cough cough...don't stop!"
When the people in the carriage spoke, there was a coughing sound, which was very violent.
The old man driving the car frowned, his eyes full of worry.
