Yang Jian never thought that when this secret was revealed, the people below would cheer for joy. But he was a little disappointed and sad when he saw the performance of these people below. In the days when he returned to the world, he saw a lot of people's admiration and respect for him, and that kind of emotion didn't seem artificial. In the Taimiao, people carefully wiped his portrait and tablet, paying homage sincerely. When people mention Yang Jian's name now, they are still full of awe and nostalgia!
But now it dawned on him that it turned out that what these people revered and worshiped was him who died, not him who came back alive. The present him only brings fear and terror to these people.
The little emperor Yang Chengqian's words made him understand one more thing. It turned out that his descendants, who knew the secret, had even begun to treat him as an enemy.
It seems that the hatred in Yang Chengqian's eyes cannot be resolved by any means.
So, he started to get a little angry.
"Father once said!"
Excited, Yang Chengqian wiped away the tears and snot from his face, and even pointed at Yang Jian and said loudly: "In order to select the most aggressive offspring to inherit the throne, you set a rule that only the prince with the best performance can succeed to the throne! This caused After the succession of the emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty, there will be a bloodbath. To put it bluntly, you want to make the emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty the best among future generations, but in fact, is it not out of selfishness?"
Because of the excitement, the little emperor's lips were trembling: "Only the strongest and most ambitious descendants can satisfy your taste, isn't it? This is not for the sake of the country of the Sui Dynasty at all, but for yourself! I didn’t treat your descendants as descendants, but as snacks! Choosing the most delicious one to be the emperor is just to satisfy your own selfishness! Before I know these things, I respect you more than my father Respect, but now, no matter how powerful you are, in my eyes, you are just a ruthless clown!"
Perhaps it was because these words had been held in his heart for too long, but after saying them, the little emperor gradually calmed down. Although his chest was still heaving violently, there was less and less fear in his eyes. When you go all out alone, you are not even afraid of death, so what are you afraid of
"All the emperors of the Sui Dynasty have been manipulated by you! You are not a qualified father, but you have played with the feelings of other fathers. You know, every successive emperor knows this secret , would not have the heart to sacrifice his own son, the fatherly love of the Yang family is not inherited from you! So in my opinion, you are not worthy to be our ancestor!"
"well said!"
Yang Qinyan walked to the little emperor's side, holding his brother's cold hand.
"Although I don't know exactly what happened, I know you shouldn't show up again."
She looked at Yang Jian stubbornly and bravely, and said word by word: "You created an empire and made the Yang family the most noble family in the world! The blood of the Yang family has become the blood of the royal family and is admired by all people. You let you Most of the future generations enjoy the prosperity and wealth of the world, so let us remember you, okay? Why do you want to destroy the awe we should have for you?"
"You still don't understand what is the supreme mission."
Yang Jian shook his head.
"I don't know how to be grateful..."
He seemed a little sad, and his speaking speed became very slow: "Someone once said to me that when God gives you one thing, it will take another thing that belongs to you. Most of you enjoy my When you are enjoying all the glory, wealth and wealth that I brought you, have you never thought about what you have to give?"
Yang Jian said slowly: "The mission of the Yang family is to protect this empire. Now, who among you can tell me, who among you can protect this empire better than me!"
He raised his voice sharply: "Who can!"
The roar like a bolt from the blue made everyone subconsciously take a step back.
"I thought Yang Yi was a man of great courage. He knew what the biggest obstacle to the continuation of the Sui Empire was, and he had the courage to change it. I don't blame him for breaking the country into pieces. The empire that was broken and then rebuilt It will be even stronger. It will be really painful to goug out those cancerous tumors, but after the pain is over, there will be a long period of peace and peace!"
"Now I understand that Yang Yi was also out of selfishness. He wanted to let the potential crises of Da Sui erupt while he was still alive, and resolve them with his own strength. In this way, After Tai Sui, there is no need for me, the creator, to appear again. He intends to let this matter stop at him, and may even think of killing me... So, he doesn't even trust the old dean. But he overestimated himself , he has no ability to finish this matter!"
The little emperor raised his jaw and said loudly: "Father is at least half successful!"
He seemed to have calmed down now, and he lost a lot of fear in the face of Yang Jian: "Father at least succeeded in gouging out a large number of cancerous tumors, and also succeeded in forcing the old dean to leave Beijing and go south to die! You may not know, How happy the father smiled when he confirmed that the old dean was going south! As long as the old dean is dead, who can threaten the emperor after the Sui Dynasty? No one will enforce that cruel rule for you, there is no strongest With the maintenance of direct blood, how long can you live?!"
"I just didn't expect that before the old dean left, he would arrange for someone to release you!"
His tone was full of unwillingness!
Yang Jian looked at this descendant, shook his head after being silent for a while: "You are wrong... I am not released by him."
…
…
Yang Jian was silent for a while, his eyes were a little confused: "Actually, why don't I know, when he found me and said there was a way to keep me alive, what was his plan and what was his mood... that By then, he might have been completely disappointed in me, right?"
When this sentence was spoken, no one understood it.
Yang Jian seemed to be recalling the past, and his tone of voice was a little erratic: "After I built the most powerful empire in the Central Plains, the fear in my heart became stronger. It is because I built this country by myself, so I Only then did I know the hardships involved! So I was afraid, afraid that someone would be another Yang Jian who would steal the newly established empire from me... "
The little emperor sneered and said: "So you started to kill Zhongliang wantonly! None of the old officials who followed you to fight the world died well. Because they all rebelled with you, so you are afraid that they will rebel too! The founder of the Sui Dynasty Sixteen princes, thirty-seven counties, counties, and townships died at your hands. Only a few of the founding heroes survived! But even so, your descendants are still trying to beautify you... "
The little emperor said: "Even Father, when he mentioned these things, he never said that you did something wrong, but told me that it was a choice that a founding emperor must make. I used to be full of longing and fear. Go, what a bold ancestor you will be. Now I understand, you are just a poor selfish ghost."
Yang Jian didn't seem to be angry, and there were some waves in his eyes.
"Yeah... At that time, there were indeed a lot of founding heroes who were executed by me for various reasons. At least two-thirds of the meritorious service was eliminated by me. Do the math... In the case of Zhu Dongnan, I killed 37,000 people. In the Fang Zhenyu case, I killed 18,000 people. In the Lan Yong case, I killed 44,000 people... In the Yang Kaiming case, I killed 21,000 people..."
These things emerged from his mind one by one.
"That's why Wan Xingchen found me. At first I thought he was really thinking about me and the empire, so I respected him just like my father. He told me at the time that he could keep me alive, but Sustained by the blood of the descendants... At that time, I thought, for the sake of this empire, a person with a foreign surname can sacrifice half of his cultivation, what else can I not sacrifice?"
"Later..."
The corner of Yang Jian's mouth twitched slightly, and then he sneered: "Later, I lay in the darkness of the imperial mausoleum for so many years. I couldn't move, talk, or open my eyes, but I was awake most of the time. You may never understand that kind of pain. But it is precisely because of this that I understand what Wan Xingchen means!"
"He's not helping me anymore! He's punishing me!"
Yang Jian's tone suddenly increased: "Because I killed too many people and let him down! The reason why he wanted to help me at the beginning was because he knew that the previous dynasty had been corrupted and the people were in poverty, and the court of Zheng Guo had always treated people in the Jianghu. Enmity, many Jianghu sects were destroyed by Zheng Guo! Because of this, he brought a group of Jianghu people to help me! I do not deny that without him, it would be difficult for me to establish the Great Sui. This is what I should thank him for , I will not deliberately forget!"
"I killed many people later, a large part of them were the quacks who helped me conquer the world. After I gave them status, I became more and more afraid that these arrogant and unruly people would take up arms to rebel again! Because these people , I don’t know what rules are at all! The reason why Wan Xingchen came up with such a way to help me prolong my life is not to sacrifice half of his cultivation to help me, but to use half of his cultivation to help those quacks get revenge!"
"He wants to make me feel the pain, and let the descendants of my Yang family experience the pain for generations! You blame me for being cruel? In fact, the most cruel is him Wan Xingchen! How much reputation he has won, the guardian of the Sui Dynasty, the emperor also has to treat He is respectful! But in fact, he has been taking revenge! He has enjoyed pleasure for more than a hundred years, and he should think it is worth spending half of his cultivation base!"
After shouting these words, the killing intent in Yang Jian's eyes spread uncontrollably: "So, when I was in the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum, I figured out these reasons, and I swore that if I go out, I will be the first to kill you!" It's Wan Xingchen! I'm afraid even Wan Xingchen didn't expect that I spent a hundred years absorbing the half of his cultivation that kept me alive! He thought that even if I was resurrected, I would be just a leader He is just an ordinary person. He should still hope that I can come back to life, so that I can feel the pain of the Yang family for more than a hundred years! He wants to make my life worse than death! But he is wrong, half of his cultivation base , I want it!"
Yang Jian's eyes were a little red, because he started to get agitated.
"So, shouldn't you be cheering?"
Yang Jian took a deep breath: "But I still thank him. Without him, it would be difficult for Sui to establish a country. Without him, I would not live so long, even in pain. Without him, my heart would not become stronger. Cold and firm. Without him, I would not have the cultivation I have now! So, I even ordered him to be buried richly!"
"but… "
After Yang Jian paused for a moment, he suddenly burst out laughing: "I ordered his corpse to be brought back from Jiangnan for a proper burial. Before that, I whipped that corpse five hundred times with my own hands! Looking at the fragmented corpse, haha... it's like I would be as happy as cutting him with a knife!"
