Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Since Xiao Cong surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, he often made suggestions and suggestions for the governance of Jiangnan. However, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty had just unified the country and was worried that Buddhism would affect his rule, so he did not directly adopt it.

Zuo Pushe Su Wei was the chief minister of the dynasty. Seeing that the prince advocated the promotion of Confucianism and Xiao Cong advocated the promotion of Buddhism, he pretended to be serious and said nothing.

Whether Buddhism or Confucianism, which theory is more suitable for Jiangnan, all the officials bowed their heads and remained silent. Only Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said:"I think Buddhism is about compassion, and Confucianism teaches people to be good. Since they are all good things, wouldn't it be better to encourage people to abandon Buddhism and learn Confucianism, and educate the world?"

The emperor's golden words made everyone see it. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty supported the reduction of Buddhism and the promotion of Confucianism, and other officials also responded. Compared with the officials, Xiao Cong, the Duke of Ju, was from Jiangnan after all, and his views were very isolated. Since the officials all followed Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Xiao Cong did not dare to give any hard advice.

There was no more objection, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was quite proud:"I ordered Su Wei to act as agent for enlightenment in the south of the Yangtze River, mobilize the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry, dismantle the temples and establish schools, and reduce the number of monks to return to secular life."

"The minister obeys the order."Su Jing said.

After retreating from the court, Prince Yang Yong accompanied Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty back to the palace. The pacification of Chen State went very smoothly. Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty was very happy. Prince Yang Yong looked at Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty sideways and felt sorry for Yang in his heart. Guang was even more worried, worried that Yang Guang would assert his superiority and threaten his position as crown prince. The father and son walked and chatted, and Yang Yong said:"Now that major events in Jiangnan have been decided, it is better for my father to recruit the King of Jin to return to the capital as soon as possible.""

"oh……"Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty was stunned.

Prince Yang Yong lowered his head against his will. In fact, he was worried that Jin Wang Yang Guang would do more in Jiangnan. He asked Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to order the Jin Wang class teacher to return to the capital. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty asked:"Your second brother has outstanding achievements in Jiangnan, why do you want to do this?" Let him return to the capital?"

Yang Yong said:"My son thought that letting the second brother return to the capital would have three benefits."

"The emperor mentioned these three benefits one by one."

Yang Yong had already prepared a call in his heart, specifically to lobby Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Yong said:"First, Lord Chen was captured, which greatly boosted people's hearts. If he can be escorted back to the capital as soon as possible, he will definitely cheer and the whole country will celebrate. Secondly, if the 510,000 troops stay in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, the transportation of grain and grass will definitely be a problem. It is better to withdraw all troops to ease the difficulty of supply. Thirdly, I heard that my second brother was unaccustomed to the climate and climate in the south of the Yangtze River and suffered a serious illness. We are two compatriots with the same mother, so our friendship is inseparable. I hope my father will understand."

What Yang Yong said not only made Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty feel very reasonable, but also touched the family affection in his heart. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said:"What I am most worried about is that your brothers are at odds. Now the emperor can say such things. , I just fell to the ground like a stone."

Yang Yong was very pleased to see his father, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said:"The prince has drafted an edict on my behalf, and sent the King of Jin Yang Guang to escort him to the palace of Chen State, and the class teacher will return to the capital."

"The sons and ministers obey the order."Yang Yong secretly took the order and left with some secret joy. This is what it is: brothers have no true love and pretend to fight against the court.

If Yang Jian knew what was going on, the fight between the princes would never stop.

The court issued an edict, and Jiangnan The government affairs were handed over to King Yang Hong of Hejian, and King Yang Guang of Jin was ordered to return to the court, and the captured Chen family, concubines, and ministers were escorted to the capital together. The decree was passed to the Jin prince's residence in Jiankang, and Jin Wang Yang Guang took the imperial edict. , clutching it back and forth, the palms of his hands were sweating with anger.

Princess Xiao Jun, Yu Wenshu, Zhang Heng, and Zhuge Ying were also aggrieved. Yang Guang said:"I have conquered half of the country. I want to manage it here carefully and achieve civilized governance." Martial arts, unexpectedly, an edict was sent back?

Yu Wenshu said:"Your Highness, if I am not wrong, this is either Gao Xiangguo's suggestion or the Crown Prince's instigation. The only purpose is to cut off His Highness's military power early and let His Highness return to Beijing to be a caged bird." Yang

Guang had a bit of regret on his face and said with emotion:"It's not that I am reluctant to give up this little military power. It's just that I wanted to do something big in Jiangnan, but now I gave up halfway.""

Zhuge Ying bowed and said:"Why does Your Highness need to express such emotion? As the saying goes: 'Half ambition is patience'. If Your Highness has great ambitions, he should learn to endure hardships, endure humiliation and bear burdens, hide one's strengths and bide one's time, and strive to become strong in the face of adversity. By."

After listening to Zhuge Ying's guidance, Yang Guang's disappointed eyes suddenly regained their gleam. Xiao Jun also advised:"Nine times out of ten, life will be unsatisfactory. Mr. Zhuge said it is very far-sighted. His Highness conquered Jiangnan and he can win it. You should be able to let go. If you have this mind, why worry about not being able to achieve great things in the future?"

Yu Wenshu and Zhang Heng also supported Jin Wang Yang Guang very much and returned to the capital early in accordance with the imperial edict. Yang Guang suppressed his inner desire for the throne and gritted his teeth and said:"Immediately send an order to prepare for the return of the class!"

The King of Jin Yang Guang handed over many affairs in the south of the Yangtze River to the King of Hejian Yang Hong, and all the troops began to return to the court. Yu Wenshu, the concubine of the left, counted the generals, palaces, celebrities, and female relatives captured from the Chen Kingdom in order, and escorted them in batches , was sent back to Beijing.

Yang Guang and the Sui Dynasty soldiers were in front, and their families and prisoners of war were behind. On the road that stretched for hundreds of miles, there was an endless flow of people. Along the way, there were all prisoners of the Chen Kingdom. The situation was very bleak.

From Jiangnan to Guanxi The journey was long and difficult, and the young and strong could still walk on foot, but the captured Chen royal family members, concubines, civil and military ministers could not bear it. Fortunately, the Sui army used wooden carts to transport heavy baggage, and there were many people on the way back. The empty carriage was left for these people to ride in.

For the prisoners, they were treated politely, but the palace servants and maids had low status, so they could only walk with the army and follow behind.

Princess Xiao Jun of Jin was sitting in the carriage, looking out from the carriage window Looking at it, I felt very pity, but there were many people and few cars, and there was nothing I could do. I kept looking around, and suddenly found that there was an ox cart at the end of the team, and no one was seen on it, but it was just moving forward slowly.

Xiao Jun opened the cart Looking at the chariot curtain, looking at the slow ox cart, it looked a bit more miserable than the prisoners. Following the chariot was Zhao Cai, the royal servant. Xiao Jun asked:"It's been a bumpy and hard journey, what about the ox cart behind it?" Why doesn't the car carry more people?"

Zhao Caiyan said:"Reporting to your Majesty, the bullock cart seems to be carrying a woman, who looks like a dying person."

"Why don't you get treatment quickly?"

"The princess and empress, along the way, several Jiangnan women who were not acclimatized have died of illness. Now that they are so ill, no one is willing to accept them if they give them away."

Xiao Jun lifted the curtain, looked into the distance again, and said to Zhao Cai:"At the beginning of spring, diseases are common. Let her come to my car and drive her up. Maybe she can save someone's life."

"this……"Zhao Cai hesitated for a moment and said,"I'm going to take a look."

Zhao Cai turned the horse's head and ran to the rear. Following the ox cart were several eunuchs from Nanchen. Zhao Cai asked:" Who is in the carriage?"

A eunuch said:"Female family members of the palace."

Zhao Cai said:"Princess Jin has an order to order this woman to rest in the carriage of the princess."

Several eunuchs from Chen State drove the ox cart and sent the woman over. At this time, the princess's chariot had stopped and waited. This seriously ill woman trudged all the way, her face covered with dust, and she was covered with a torn quilt and a straw mat. Although the silk cloth she wore was luxurious, it seemed that it had not been changed for many days. The mud and ash are deposited, and the situation is bleak.

"This girl is so pitiful, let her ride in my car."

The eunuchs of the Chen Kingdom looked at each other. No one expected that the princess of the Sui Dynasty was so kind. Xiao Jun saw the hesitation of the eunuchs and urged:"My father-in-law, don't hesitate, just bring it up.""

The little eunuchs worked together to carry the palace lady into the carriage. As the carriage moved forward, the woman was jolted by the carriage and was already dying.

Xiao Jun took a handkerchief and wiped off the dust on the woman's face. People were surprised. This woman was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She was handsome and outstandingly beautiful. She was a natural beauty. But looking at this scene, Xiao Jun couldn't help but think of when he was a teenager, living in poverty and wandering, without enough food and clothing. The precarious years brought more pity to his heart.

Xiao Jun put the heater next to the woman, and the woman gradually recovered, opened her eyes, looked at Xiao Jun, and the woman asked softly:"Is it Mrs. help me?

Xiao Jun said:"Don't ask why, just rest. The medical officer will be here soon.""

After walking a little further, the accompanying medical officer boiled herbal medicine for the woman and brought it to the driver. After taking a dose of herbal medicine into her stomach, the woman felt somewhat recovered and finally came to her senses. The woman looked around at the people in the car. Seeing that the decoration was extraordinary and must be used by the palace, he asked Xiao Jun again:"Who is Madam, and why did you save me?"

Xiao Jun nodded slightly and asked,"What is your name and where are you from?"

The woman replied:"My daughter Chen, nicknamed Shuxuan, was originally Princess Ningyuan. Now her country has been subjugated and she was sent to the Northern Kingdom as a slave.""When the seriously ill woman revealed her life experience, she was actually Chen Shuxuan, Empress Chen's biological sister, which surprised Xiao Jun. It can be said that the royal family once lived in wealth and honor, but once the country fell, they became slaves.

Hunger and cold are unbearable, and poverty is like a year..

Xiao Jun looked at Chen Shuxuan's haggard face, and felt a little sad in his heart, sighing with emotion:"A fortune has ended up in this situation now, and the noble beauty has suffered the same disaster."

Chen Shuxuan was lying in the car, looking at the embroidered quilt embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns covering his body. His eyes were wet and tears fell down, and he said:"Now that I have experienced this, I realize that the world is hard, and living in the palace for more than ten years was wasted. Scenery of time."

There was nothing to do along the way, so Xiao Jun chatted about his experiences in the past. The two were both hard-luck princesses, and both were girls from the south of the Yangtze River. Instead, they were connected by fate, and they were like close friends.

When they arrived at the camp in Dongdu, Chen Shuxuan He stayed in Xiao Jun's room. Seeing that it was getting late, Jin Wang Yang Guang returned to the camp and heard someone talking in Xiao Jun's room. He was puzzled and quietly opened the door and entered the bedroom. He faintly saw Xiao Jun sitting down. There was another person lying on the bed beside the bed.

Chen Shuxuan suddenly heard the person coming and asked,"I heard footsteps, it must be His Highness who has returned. Xiao

Jun stood up and saw Yang Guang standing outside the door. Yang Guang walked into the inner room and saw Chen Shuxuan lying on the bed, and asked,"Who is this woman?""

"Chen Shubao's sister, Princess Ningyuan Chen Shuxuan."Xiao Jun saw that Chen Shuxuan wanted to get up to pay homage to the King of Jin, so he held Chen Shuxuan down and let her rest.

Xiao Jun and Yang Guang came to the outer room, talked about the girl's life experience, and said to Yang Guang:"This girl and my concubine are connected by fate, and she speaks with understanding. , it would be really pitiful to be punished as a slave, and I want to stay by my side and be a sister."

Although Chen Shuxuan looked haggard, he was still beautiful under the candlelight. Yang Guang smiled, agreed to Xiao Jun's request, and took Xiao Jun out of the house to the corridor of the wing. Yang Guang looked around and saw no one, and looked at Xiao Jun. Jun said:"My beloved concubine, why not become her sister, it will definitely be useful in the future."

Xiao Jun was a little puzzled and asked:"What does your highness want to do?"

"well! Yang Guang sighed and said:"I will lead my troops to the south to recover half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River and unify the nine states. Only the first emperor of Qin, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty have been able to unify China. It is a pity that they have nothing when they return to Beijing this time." Living a lonely life in the palace"

"Then how does His Highness want to use Chen Shuxuan?"

"I think she is quite pretty, so why don't I give her to my mother to serve as an internal agent. Xiao

Jun thought about Yang Guang's words and asked:"Your Highness is so ambitious that he dares to plant people around his mother. Could it be that he wants to use the beauty of the Chen family to go one step further and become an orphan in the south in the future?" Yang

Guang's eyes were sharp, he looked at Xiao Jun, held Xiao Jun's hand on his chest, and said,"My beloved concubine can understand my heart and will definitely help me succeed in the future!""

Xiao Jun said:"Although I am a daughter, I follow His Highness in the north and south campaigns, and I am eager to assist His Highness and achieve great achievements through the ages. Yang Guang took Xiao Jun into his arms and said,"I am not willing to fight in the north or south. One day, I must make my beloved concubine the most noble in the world.""This is:

As the saying goes, a good wife and husband will prosper, and a good concubine will help the emperor.

Billions of people from all over the world are frantically praying for her, and their thoughts about the woman turn to the sky.
