Changchun Garden was rarely as noisy as it is today. Although the emperors of the Sui Dynasty had the habit of moving to Changchun Garden in summer to handle court affairs, as the most important royal garden in Chang'an City, not many people could come in and out at will. Even if it is lively, it is lively for a while in the early morning, but it is not noisy.
It was only when they got together that they realized that there were actually so many people from the direct and collateral lines of the Yang family in Chang'an City. There are no princes in Chang'an City, and Yang Yin is a special case since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. But within a hundred miles of Chang'an, the number of descendants of the Yang family living here is already huge.
Although it is less than 200 years old, the speed at which the royal family reproduces is still amazing.
In fact, many people no longer have any substantial relationship with the Yang family. For example, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, the concubine of the princess gave birth to the most children, and they may not be able to keep their titles for two or three generations. Many people talk about the close relationship between the ancestors and the Yang family of the Great Sui Dynasty, but in this generation they have become commoners.
However, these people have files to check in the palace.
The Zongli Mansion is specialized in dealing with the affairs of the royal family, and the distribution of the descendants of the Yang family can be easily found in the documents kept by the Zongli Mansion. Therefore, it is not difficult to invite all the descendants of the Yang family and foreign relatives in Chang'an City. In just five short days, all the relatives and relatives of the Yang family in Chang'an City, a hundred miles away, were invited to Changchun Garden.
please
This word may not be appropriate, it is better to say grasping.
This matter was not handled by the Iron Armored Army. It seemed that in addition to going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, the Iron Armored General also had some helplessness towards these mighty but slightly clumsy soldiers. After he gave the order, the yamen below would naturally handle the affairs. The courtiers who feared the armored general as they feared the devil were amazingly efficient in doing things.

The little emperor Yang Chengqian looked at the people outside who were driven to the garden by the soldiers, and the fear in his eyes spread uncontrollably. He didn't even notice it himself, at this moment his body was shaking as if he was shaking. He knew many of those people outside, so the little emperor knew what was about to happen.
He just didn't expect it to come so soon.
He wanted to pretend to be calm and continue reading, but the hand holding the book couldn't stop at all. And his eyes couldn't stay on the book at all.
Dou Shuangfang's face was extremely ugly, he had already ordered all the people from Jinyi School to be transferred to Qionglu, but this did not make people feel at ease. Of the hundreds of Jinyi schools he can mobilize now, the weak ones can be ignored.
"It'll be fine... it'll be fine..."
Dou Shuangfang kept repeating these words, not knowing whether he was comforting the little emperor or himself. It's not just them, which of the hundreds of Jinyi schools outside is not trembling? They gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, trying to find a sense of security from the weapon, but this was simply impossible.
Seeing a group of armored soldiers approaching the Qionglu, the little emperor's hand holding the book trembled even more, as if he was fanning the wind with a book.
"Stop...stop them!"
he shouted hoarsely.
Hearing the little emperor's shout, Dou Shuangfang hurriedly ordered those Jinyi schools to block the soldiers of the Iron Armored Army, but before he could say anything, the hundreds of Jinyi schools outside the door didn't know who threw it away first. Weapons, followed by everyone who threw away their horizontal knives, and then made way for those armored soldiers.
"Asshole!"
Dou Shuangfang cursed, either in fear or anger, his voice was trembling, and it was almost impossible to hear what he said.
The soldiers of the Iron Armored Army headed to the gate of the Qionglu courtyard, the eyes under the armored mask coldly glanced at the Jinyi School in the courtyard.
All the Jinyi schools backed up almost simultaneously, trying their best to avoid the sight of the armored soldier.
"Your Majesty, please come to the garden, the general wants to see you."
The leader of the Iron Armored Army soldier said in a cold voice without any emotion.
The little emperor shivered and pressed the book on the table, as if he was talking to himself: "I want to study, I want to sort out the relics of the late emperor, I still have many things that I don't understand, and I still need to study. Come here, I want to ask questions... I... I don't care about anything, I don't ask anything... I'm right here... I'm not going anywhere."
The Iron Armored Army soldiers waited outside the house for a while, but when the little emperor came out, he strode in.
"I'm reading a book... I still have three achievements to finish reading this book... I want to finish reading this book..."
The Iron Armored Army soldiers looked coldly at the little emperor who kept talking to himself, and there was still no color in his eyes. The leading soldier paused for a moment, then waved his hand, and the two soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward to grab the little emperor's arm.
"Dou Shuangfang save me!"
The little emperor shrank his body into the kang with all his strength, and shouted in panic.
Dou Shuangfang stretched out his arms in front of the kang and yelled at the Iron Armored Army soldiers: "You dog slaves, who dares you to act presumptuously in front of His Majesty! Get out! Get out! If you don't get out, I will Let people behead your heads and confiscate your homes!"
puff!
puff!
The leading soldier of the Iron Armored Army cut off Dou Shuangfang's two protruding arms with a knife. The speed was so fast that Dou Shuangfang didn't react until the arms fell to the ground. A stream of blood spurted out from both ends of his shoulders and spilled all over the ground.
Two Iron Armored Army soldiers stepped onto the kang, pulled the little emperor down, and then set them up and walked out.
"I want to read... I haven't finished reading the book..."
The little emperor kept talking, his face as white as paper.
The soldiers of the Iron Armored Army at the head looked at Dou Shuangfang who was still standing in front of the kang without his arms, then turned around and left without paying attention to him.
With a plop, Dou Shuangfang knelt down on the ground, looked at his arms on the ground and muttered: "Dog slaves... a group of dog slaves..."
…
…
"Shut up, if there is any loud noise, behead!"
A burly man who was obviously bigger than other armored soldiers walked up to the high platform in the garden and shouted loudly, and those crying and shouting people immediately fell silent. The adults tightly covered the children's mouths with their hands, lest the children make any more noise.
This burly man in iron armor is not wearing that kind of rough and heavy plate armor, but a thick chain armor. If there is no thick layer of rust on it, this should be a very delicate armor.
"Wei Mu."
General Iron Armor came striding from a distance, and ordered as he walked, "Let them stand in line with their seniority."
The strong man agreed loudly, and then shouted to separate everyone in the yard according to their seniority. The people in the Zongli Mansion were frightened and busy, driving the crowd to stand according to their seniority. This was not an easy process, after all, not every descendant of the Yang family knew everyone in Zongli Mansion.
After half an hour, the team barely lined up.
The Iron Armored General strode up to the high platform, stood on it and glanced at the crowd below. I don't know why, but there is not much coldness in his eyes at this time, but a kind of emotion that people can't see clearly. A little sad, a little proud, a little... satisfied
"There are so many people..."
General Iron Armor looked at the crowd and said to himself: "This is mostly a collateral line... As the emperors of the past dynasties change, their brothers will always be executed or deposed, or sent to remote places, and finally that line will gradually die out. Here There are already no less than seven or eight hundred people, and the descendants and grandchildren of the Yang family in the entire Sui Dynasty add up, I am afraid there are thousands of people. In less than two hundred years, there are so many people... "
He said twice that there were so many people.
His eyes were a little erratic, and his expression was intriguing.
His eyes slowly swept across the crowd, and his gaze stayed on the young man in the front of the line who was wearing the bright yellow emperor's costume. On this young man's face, he could only see horror. Then he saw the delicate-looking woman standing behind the little emperor, who looked to be in her twenties, wearing a very elegant princess costume.
That was Yang Chengqian's sister, Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty.
Because of the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty, the Emperor God Blessed put down the rebellion, then died of illness, and then the new emperor ascended the throne and many other things. This princess, who has long passed the age of marriage, is still waiting in her boudoir. She is not the kind of woman who is absolutely beautiful, the heroic spirit between her brows is a little stronger, and the femininity is less.
On her face, Iron Armored General saw a pair of eyes full of hatred.
But Iron Armored General didn't care, because he knew there was hatred. The unyielding and pride that the Yang family should have that was missing on the little emperor's face is still there on her face. So Iron Armored General was actually a little relieved, but not angry.
"The Yang family."
General Iron Armor said four words, the meaning of which no one understood.
"At the beginning of the Great Sui Dynasty, there were three brothers in the Yang family. One of them was Yang Ting, who died in Firefox City. He led three thousand dead men into Zheng's army and tore a trail for the warriors of the Great Sui Dynasty. Bloody road. In Firefox City, there are hundreds of thousands of elite Zheng Jun, which is several times that of the Sui army. Moreover, Zheng Jun has a strong city to rely on. But the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty have no fear. Among Zheng's troops, he was the first to enter the Huohu City, wearing dozens of arrows and throwing a strong sword. When the city was broken, he supported himself with the Great Sui Army Flag and died."
"There is still one… "
General Tiejia said slowly: "Among the three brothers, he is the youngest. He was only thirteen or fourteen years old when Tai Sui raised his troops. For some reason, many people have never seen this third eldest. He doesn't like to see people, and he also He didn’t like others to see him. So until the founding of the Sui Dynasty, more than 90% of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty didn’t know him, so that people gradually forgot that there was such a prince in the Sui Dynasty. But what you don’t know is that the Western Expedition of the Sui Dynasty and the Mongolian The people of Yuan fought fiercely, winning consecutive battles, and it was because he assassinated more than a dozen generals of Meng Yuan one after another that Meng Yuan was defeated later on."
"Among you know this person because it is recorded in the history books that the youngest prince died of a serious illness not long after the founding of the country, and he made no contribution in his life. But what you see may not be correct , Let me tell you... He is not known too much because he doesn't want to, he asked the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty to announce his death, because he felt that he was born too ugly and didn't want to meet outsiders."
"His name is Yang Zhong, and his childhood name is Puhu. He has made great contributions to the establishment of the Sui Dynasty. He covered his face with a black scarf on the battlefield, and he gave up a lot of credit to others. He assassinated more than a dozen generals of Meng Yuan in the northwest overnight. , still refused to accept credit! It’s just because he felt that he was born ugly and didn’t want to show his face.”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Yang Qinyan's complexion changed drastically, and her body shook involuntarily. She subconsciously looked at the little emperor, but found that there was no surprise on the little emperor's face.
As if he already knew it.
"he… "
Yang Qinyan raised her finger tremblingly and pointed at the Iron Armored General and asked the little emperor: "Who is he?!"
The little emperor was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed wildly but cried out in a crying voice: "Who is he? Who is he? Who else can he be! He is your most admired ancestor, the founder of the Great Sui Dynasty! The founding emperor Yang Jian !"
On the high platform, Iron Armored General slowly took off his visor.
"I'm back!"
