"No matter what, I can't accept what you said just now that Tai Sui is gone."
Yang Qinyan's expression is a bit strange now, she just tried to eat and talk like Fang Jie, but now because of the excitement, even the soy milk she drank seemed to be stuck in her throat. For a pretty girl, even such an expression is touching.
Fang Jie took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over: "Actually, you have already accepted it, but sometimes it is more difficult to admit than to accept."
Yang Qinyan was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously took Fang Jie's handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth. This was absolutely impossible before, and she would never use other people's things.
"When the Sui Dynasty was still healthy, I always firmly believed that the Sui Dynasty could last for at least 10,000 years. I also firmly believed that the people of the Sui Dynasty were the happiest people in the world. There was no bullying or injustice. I still firmly believe that if Li Yuanshan was not in the northwest In the chaos, the people of the Sui Dynasty still lived the most comfortable life."
she says.
"The contradiction does not lie with Li Yuanshan."
Fang Jie asked the boss to wrap up the leftover scallion pancakes: "Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties including your father have been playing an extremely dangerous game. The successive emperors of the Sui Dynasty continued to promote mutual distrust among courtiers. The emperor was addicted to this kind of game and couldn't extricate himself, because it was the pleasure brought by the use of power and wisdom, which could make people addicted."
"Since Yang Jian, the emperors of the Sui Dynasty have always adhered to a principle, that is, not to restrain martial arts and promote literature. This is certainly a lesson learned from the previous dynasty Zheng Guo, but there is a limit to everything, and there will be disadvantages if the limit is exceeded. .At the time of Zheng State, civil officials were more important than military officials. The power of civil officials was astounding, but the status of generals was also astounding. So when Yang Jian raised his troops, the commanders in Zheng State’s army were not really capable. Military generals are literati supervising the army."
"From logistics supplies to front-line command, it is all decided by literati. It would be strange if Zheng Guo won such a war in the end. Because of this, Yang Jian has always emphasized the importance of generals since the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, so that later A governor seems to have a lot of power, but his status cannot be compared with that of a general in the army. This situation that affects the whole body is caused by your Yang family."
"It has to be said that none of the emperors of the Yang family were mediocre, and each emperor was shrewd and awe-inspiring. But because of this, each emperor was obsessed with political tactics. The seemingly stable and balanced ones are all emperors. Hold it with one hand. So even without Li Yuanshan's rebellion in the northwest, when your father died of a serious illness and the little emperor came to the throne, conflicts would still erupt. Because the little emperor doesn't have the ability to balance it."
Yang Qinyan listened quietly to Fang's explanation, and after thinking for a while, said: "These are just your speculations, if Li Yuanshan hadn't rebelled against the father, the emperor would have prepared everything for Chengqian!"
"That's right."
Fang Jie nodded: "He has the ability to arrange everything, but he can't arrange Yang Chengqian's character well. The emperors of the Sui Dynasty all chose the best princes as their heirs. Your father only has Yang Chengqian as his son. He has no choice. What's more... How do you know that this mess was not caused by your father voluntarily?"
"Why!"
Yang Qinyan immediately became excited.
"I just think about it when I have nothing to do..."
Fang Xie glanced at Yang Qinyan: "Your father knew that Yang Jian was still alive when he became the throne, and he needs the purest blood from the descendants of your Yang family to support him, and he is seriously ill, so he is doomed to die soon. Yang Jian is no longer alive." It is the ancestors that you raise your family in awe of, but a scourge that makes every emperor tremble. Your father made a choice. He only wanted Yang Chengqian as his son, and then deliberately drove Da Sui into chaos and forced Yang Jian Resurrection..."
"Father will not do such an irrational thing!"
Yang Qinyan retorted: "He is the most intelligent person I have ever met, no one can be stronger than him."
Fang Jie smiled, and said in a soft tone: "Because he is smart, he thinks he can change Da Sui and the Yang family. But, he didn't expect Yang Jian to be so ruthless. I said just now, your father After knowing that Yang Jian is still alive, especially after knowing that your grandfather violated the ancestral training left by Yang Jian, something must have changed in his heart. He didn't want the Yang family, especially his son, to continue this fate, so he figured out Such an unbelievable way."
"Perhaps, he knew from the very beginning that Li Yuanshan was secretly plotting to rebel, and he might even have known that Li Yuanshan would collude with the Mongols to enter the customs. Importantly, Yang Chengqian is still young, so this is the most suitable opportunity to release Yang Jian. He wants to use the chaos in the northwest to eradicate Yang Jian's influence on the Yang family."
Fang Jie said slowly: "He thought that he had the ability to control the war in the northwest. The northwest is exhausted, even if there is chaos, it will not have much impact on Da Sui. After Yang Jian came out, he had already died. And Yang Chengqian is his only son and the only direct descendant of Yang Jian. Your father firmly believes that no matter how ruthless Yang Jian is, it is impossible to cut off the bloodline... He believes that Yang Jian will not kill Yang Chengqian, which is why he only wants one son reason."
"His mistake is that he has hope for Yang Jian."
Yang Qinyan was a little dazed when she heard it. She obviously felt that Fang Jie's words were so unbelievable, but the more she thought about it carefully, the more she felt that Fang Jie's words really made sense.
If Yang Jian was more normal, wouldn't he develop in the direction Fang explained
Yang Jian will not kill Yang Chengqian, and then Yang Jian will quell the rebellion in the northwest for the Sui Dynasty. Then what arrangements does the father have, whether to get rid of Yang Jian or force him away... Is this the father's idea? So who is the one who got rid of Yang Jian? Could it be Wan Xingchen
If it is Wan Xingchen...
Yang Qinyan couldn't help but shudder... Could it be that his father really caused the chaos in Da Sui
"If this is the case, it can only mean two things."
Fang Jie said: "First, your father didn't know much about Yang Jian and didn't doubt him more. If he had thought about the mood of a founding emperor after his resurrection, maybe he wouldn't have done that. How can someone who has been an emperor Maybe he has no thoughts about the throne? Second, your father ignored the premise of the Sui’s stability all along, that is, the emperor supported the balance. When he died, those courtiers who never trusted each other were the biggest change.”
"To put it simply... your father didn't read people's hearts."
Fang Jie summed it up.
Yang Qinyan was silent, she didn't know what else to say. If Fang Jie's conjectures were true, wouldn't the Yang family's end today be their own fault
…
…
"If you are too smart, you will be conceited."
Fang Jie and Yang Qinyan walked slowly along the streets of Guyuan City. Yang Qinyan lowered her head along the way, watching her toes move step by step, dazed.
"Your father may only realize it before he died. It turns out that all this has been out of control since he started planning. I met him in the northwest and talked to him. From his expression and words at that time, I faintly He felt that he wanted to die in the Northwest. His initial idea might be to trigger the Northwest Rebellion, and then he led the army to conquer the rebellion and died outside. Only by dying outside could Yang Chengqian succeed to the throne without knowing the secret. And at this time, the only one who knows the secret is Wan Xingchen."
"Wan Xingchen will release Yang Jian, and Yang Jian will lead troops to the northwest to suppress the rebellion. Then, Wan Xingchen kills Yang Jian. In order to ensure that the Sui Dynasty's war is confined in the northwest, your father must have asked Wan Xingchen to let Wan Xingchen go south to pacify Tonggu Academy. Because your father knows that once the war breaks out in the northwest, the people in Tonggu Academy will definitely not watch it obediently."
Yang Qinyan herself had never thought about these things, she always thought that after leaving Chang'an City, she had matured, and she was no longer as happy as before, but saw through everything sadly. After hearing Fang Jie's words, she suddenly realized that she had never even thought about so many things.
She always thought that it was those damn officials who harmed Da Sui, but she never thought that Yang Yi would have such a plan.
"Because... father is conceited?"
She murmured a question.
"The emperors of the Sui Dynasty were all conceited, which is a good thing. Because each of them has the ability to play with the courtiers in the palm of their hands and balance the court and the opposition. If your father didn't want to eradicate the hidden dangers of the Yang family, then maybe the Sui Dynasty is just a small mess now." without getting to the bottom of it.”
"However, there are always so many unsatisfactory things in this world, and not everything develops according to one's presets. Your father wanted to die in the northwest but had to change in the end, because Wan Xingchen had already surpassed His prediction. In his plan, Wan Xingchen was the most important move, not Yang Jian."
Fang Jie said as he walked, "So he desperately rushed back to Chang'an City even if he abandoned hundreds of thousands of horses, and told Yang Chengqian the secret."
"Then Chengqian couldn't stand all of this, and finally chose to kill himself."
Yang Qinyan murmured.
"Yang Chengqian is proud."
Fang Jie praised sincerely: "Everyone in the Yang family is proud."
"So, this is an unsolvable game?"
Yang Qinyan asked: "If it was really arranged by my father, then from the time he started to arrange... Da Sui has already perished."
"Your father made too big a move."
Fang Jie couldn't help but shook his head: "He wants to use hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the Sui Dynasty and all the lands in the northwest to exchange for a future descendant of the Yang family who has no worries... This game is too cruel and he can't control it at all. "
Fang Jie wanted to say the four words "playing with fire***", but he didn't say it.
"You said this just to let me understand that you are going to attack Chang'an City now?"
Yang Qinyan asked suddenly.
Fang Jie was silent, as if annoyed by this woman's thinking: "I need the understanding of many people, because the things I carry on my shoulders are too heavy. But I really don't need you to understand me, because whether you understand or not , I will do things according to my own ideas.”
"I… "
Yang Qinyan was stunned for a moment: "So it's still so unimportant, it's not necessary..."
The hurt in the words touched Fang Xie.
"If you think so yourself, what do others think?"
Fang Jiedao: "It only depends on what is important to you, and what you put it with. Putting it with your own future, no one is more important than yourself. Putting it with Jiangshan Sheji, you are not important."
These words are a bit cold, not like consolation.
Fang Jie is not consolation.
He just wanted this woman to understand that she couldn't change anything, the only thing that could be changed... was herself.
