There were obviously many people in Changchun Garden, but it was so quiet at this moment. It was so quiet that people felt terrible when they heard their own breathing. The majestic armored soldiers surrounded the crowd, and there was no emotion in the eyes behind the visor. They were like the Mo Dao and the heavy lance in their hands, cold and murderous.
The people surrounded were all stunned at this moment, watching the little emperor laughing and crying stupidly. Yes, he was laughing and crying, but the scene was eerily quiet.
Yang Qinyan, the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty, looked at her brother who seemed to be insane with a pale face, and her body was as stiff as a stone. For a long time, her mind was blank and there was nothing. She is a noble princess who grew up under the care of her. So she rarely tasted the taste of fear. The last time she felt that she was deeply afraid was the day when Emperor Yang Yi passed away.
Today's fear seems to be more violent than that day.
She mechanically turned her head to look at the majestic figure standing on the high platform, and then the blank space in her brain was occupied by an unprecedented storm. She felt that her head hurt so badly that she was about to die.
Founding Emperor of the Sui Dynasty
Why did a person who had been dead for more than a hundred years appear in front of her alive
She couldn't understand, and didn't dare to understand.
For some reason, she suddenly thought of something at this moment.
From the founding of the Sui Dynasty to the present, there have been more than a dozen emperors. With a history of less than 200 years, there were more than a dozen emperors, and each emperor reigned for no more than ten years on average.
Why is there such a thing
She didn't know why she thought of this, how could she think of this under the current circumstances
"You are all descendants of the Yang family. Although many of you are not surnamed Yang, you have more or less the blood of my Yang family in your bones."
Yang Jian glanced at the people present, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The reason why you are all here is to tell you about this matter. Originally, this was the most confidential matter of the Sui Dynasty, from the founding of the Sui Dynasty to the present. , except for the emperor, almost no outsiders know. This is the decision I made after discussing with Wan Xingchen, the old director of the Yanwu Academy, for the continuation of the Sui Dynasty. In order to allow me to come back when the Sui Dynasty is in crisis , the old dean consumed half of his cultivation."
He spoke slowly and in a calm tone. But that kind of innate dignity made everyone listen quietly and carefully. They were all really scared, and they really had an urge to flee, but when Yang Jian spoke, they could only obey.
"At the beginning, the three of us went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to create the Great Sui Empire. The Great Sui's weight in our hearts is more important than anything else."
Yang Jian said: "Because I am the creator, so I am very different from your feelings towards Da Sui. Da Sui is like the most perfect artwork I have made, and it seems to be my child. I am willing to protect this Give everything to the empire. Many of you can recite the ancestral motto of the Yang family, that is my advice to you."
"The Yang family is the Great Sui Dynasty, and the Yang family will be destroyed when the Great Sui Dynasty is destroyed."
Yang Jian was silent for a while and said: "I know that most of you still can't believe this, even if this is what you saw with your own eyes. I should have been dead for nearly two hundred years, how could I come back?"
"I'll explain this to you, but you don't understand."
Yang Jian said: "So what you need to confirm now is only one thing. I am your ancestor, and I am the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty. If I say it, you, as descendants of the Yang family, have no other choice but to obey."
The little emperor Yang Chengqian, who fell on the ground, couldn't help laughing: "Yes...you are the greatest member of the Yang family. You created this empire that made the whole world tremble. Your name will always appear in the empire. On the first page of the history book, your achievements will be engraved forever on the stone tablet in front of the Taiji Hall and in the hearts of the descendants of the Yang family and even the people of the Sui Dynasty. But isn’t that enough?”
He looked up at Yang Jian.
"Isn't that enough?"
Yang Jian shook his head: "What I want is Da Sui Immortal."
He said sadly: "However, you people only disappoint me. As my descendants, the unyielding and stubbornness in your bones has become thinner and thinner, as thin as the royal blood in your body. If you If I can keep Tai Sui well, do I need to come back?"
The little emperor's face was full of snot and tears, and he looked extremely embarrassed: "Even if there is no trouble in the Sui Dynasty, maybe you will come back?"
He struggled to stand up and looked directly at Yang Jian: "Da Sui was built by you, so it can be said that it is your favorite toy... You are full of reluctance for this toy. If it wasn't like this, how could you be with the old house?" Chang made such an arrangement? And because of this arrangement, the emperors of the Sui Dynasty were all so short-lived! They must guarantee that they will die in their prime, because in this way, they can seal up the most perfect blood for you to live on!"
"Now I start to admire grandpa..."
The little emperor cried and said: "He decided to live until his death, how much determination did he make and how much courage did he use?"
He's talking about Emperor Zhenzong, the father of Yang Yi, the God Bless Emperor. The longest-lived emperor in the history of the Sui Dynasty lived in his sixties and reigned for nearly forty years. Because of this, Yang Yi was already a middle-aged man when he succeeded to the throne.
"I envy my father too!"
The little emperor wiped the tears and snot from the corners of his mouth: "He is sick, but it is because of his illness that he can experience normal birth, old age, sickness and death!"
"You talk too much."
After being silent for a while, Yang Jian said: "Your heart is full of resentment. I told you early on in the admonitions I left behind. As a descendant of the Yang family, you must have the awareness to dedicate everything to this empire at any time. Since you have recited this since childhood Ancestral precepts, and you have already succeeded to the throne, why is it so painful?"
The little emperor cried: "Because I am sorry for everything my father has done for me!"
"Everything you gave?"
Yang Jian frowned, as if he didn't understand this sentence.
…
…
After a long time, Yang Jian finally understood the meaning of the little emperor's words, and then he couldn't help sighing: "I thought that Yang Yi was the most courageous and resolute among my descendants, and I admire him very much." .It is only now that I realize that his selfishness is so serious, it is bigger than his feelings for Tai Sui."
The little emperor cried, "That's right! You can say that he is selfish, but he is a respectable father!"
At this moment, the little emperor thought of what his father whispered in his ear before he died.
"Chengqian... I didn't want to tell you these words, but maybe there will be a great turmoil in the Sui Dynasty in the future. During this turmoil, you may die... Over the years, in order to let you live longer, I I have considered a lot. I just didn’t expect that it would be you who came to welcome this moment. I tried my best, and I wanted to welcome everything... Unfortunately, God didn’t give me more time... The chaos of the Sui Dynasty began with me, I also want to end this mess with me, but I can't live for a few more years... "
"Your ancestor, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty is still alive... You have to remember, what I'm going to say next is the most important secret of the Sui Dynasty, and you must promise not to tell anyone."
At that time, the little emperor asked naively: "What about Dou Shuangfang, he is the best for the child, can't he tell?"
"cannot!"
Yang Yi denied it in a strong tone: "This secret can only be known by the emperor of the Sui Dynasty... After the founding of the Taizu, there was always a worry that he was afraid that the empire he created would not last for thousands of years. He hoped that the empire could have a beginning and an end. .The later he got, the more worried and afraid he was, fearing that the empire would collapse after his death. So that in his later years, he was in pain all day long. You should know that Taizu became more and more confused in his later years, killing Most of the Zhongliang and Jianguo's meritorious service were killed at that time... "
"The old dean couldn't bear seeing him like this, so he found Taizu. I don't know whether the old dean couldn't bear the cruelty of Taizu wanting to kill all the important officials, or he couldn't bear to see Taizu in such pain. In fact, it all boils down , the reason why Taizu became like that is nothing more than two words... afraid of death!"
Yang Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, but his tone was still heavy: "The old dean told Taizu, if you are worried about any accidents in Sui after your death, I have a solution. Taizu asked him what to do, and the old dean said, This method can allow you to live for many years, but the premise is to sacrifice your children and grandchildren, are you willing?"
When he heard this sentence, an unprecedented cold fear spread in Yang Chengqian's heart. He trembled in fright, and sweat was all over his back in an instant.
"Taizu...how did you answer?"
he asked eagerly.
After being silent for a while, Yang Yi said sadly: "I don't know the specific situation at that time, but I think Taizu should have agreed without any hesitation. Because perhaps in his mind, Da Sui, more than His descendants are far more important. If he lives long enough to guard the empire, what does he care about his descendants?"
"He... agreed?"
Yang Chengqian asked tremblingly.
Yang Yi nodded: "Then the old dean told Taizu that he had a way to make Taizu fall into a deep sleep, as if he was asleep, and would not die. When Da Sui was in danger, as long as someone called him Once he wakes up, he can reappear in the world to protect his empire. This is a big secret that cannot be told to anyone other than the direct descendants of the Yang family. In the end, Taizu decided that only the emperor can know."
"Let the Taizu sleep forever, the price is that his descendants can't live past the prime of life, and then they will be sealed in the imperial tomb, and the blood of his descendants will be used to maintain the life of the Taizu. Therefore, the emperors of the Sui Dynasty were so Short-lived... the emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty will not be reconciled, they may have struggled and rebellious ideas, but in the end because the old abbot is still there, they have to follow the direction planned by the Taizu."
"But your grandfather vented his reluctance. Perhaps it was because the old dean had changed his mind and acquiesced in this matter. That's why your grandfather lived to be over sixty years old, the longest-lived person in Sui Dynasty. Emperor, but you are unlucky, your grandfather can enjoy his old age in peace, his blood Taizu is useless, I am seriously ill, and my blood Taizu is also useless... So, if you still want to ensure that Taizu is not dead, yours Blood will definitely be used..."
What he didn't know was, if Emperor Zhenzong hadn't had an accident, how could he live to die naturally
These words made Yang Chengqian turn pale with fright.
"but… "
Yang Yi looked at his son with kindness in his eyes: "I am your father, and I have the obligation and responsibility to let you live a few more years. So I thought of a way... I only want you as a son, and it is in I only wanted you in middle age. After I die, you will succeed to the throne. Don’t be in a hurry to have a child. Wait until your child can inherit the throne. It will take at least a few decades. You can live longer than them all... "
