The pearls on the dome in the hall were like the brilliant starry sky. Yang Guang sat alone in the Tai Chi Hall, which looked extremely wide and huge. Half lying on the dragon chaise, Yang Guang kept looking up for half an hour.

All the internal and imperial guards on duty in the hall were driven far away by Yang Guang. There were no lights in the hall. In the empty and dim hall, only the night pearls emitting bright light on the dome of the palace were left.

Yang Guang was in a daze. He didn't remember when he fell in love with a man alone in the huge Tai Chi Hall, and looked quietly at the palace dome like the starry sky. The moon was full of phases, and even the bright starry sky would not always be there. Maybe today is the starry sky, tomorrow is dark clouds, and the next day is strong wind and rain. The sky that is indeterminate will never make people happy.

Only the dome of the Tai Chi Hall, the night pearls that are as bright as the starry sky, will never change. They are there like that, and will remain unchanged for a long time. No matter when they want to see it, they will always exist. Looking at the dome as bright as the starry sky, Yang Guang would often fall into it deeply.

He often thinks that since the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed the country, the Five Barbarians Rebellion, which lasted for 116 years, the land of the country in China was sinking. The Han people became slaves. Except for a small number of Han people who fled to the Eastern Jin Dynasty in Jiangnan, the Han people in the north were brutally massacred, and the entire Chinese civilization fell into the darkest era. When talking about this era, even those historians were unwilling to say more.

Since Liu Yu usurped the Eastern Jin Dynasty and established the Southern Song Dynasty, the Central Plains continued to be separated from the north and the south for 180 years.

The north was still under the rule of various foreign tribes. It was his father Yang Jian who usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty and destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty. He also abolished the Xiliang Kingdom with an unrivaled momentum, pacified the Southern Chen Dynasty, completely unified the north and the south, and possessed the Central Plains. It was also from his father that he began to restore the Han surnames, restore the Zhou rituals, and the Qin and Han dynasties.

His father unified the north and south, pacified the Central Plains, and recuperated, and accumulated strong wealth and strength. From the Han people during the Five Barbarians' Rebellion to the 46 million people at his father, the Han people in China once again reached an extremely strong era. Moreover, through the strategy of combining weak and separated the strong, and splitting and attacking, the Sui Dynasty defeated the powerful Turkic Khanate of the Northern Grassland many times in succession, preventing the Han people from being invaded by the Northern Hu people again.

However, since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he always thought of the weakness and darkness of the Central Plains dynasty for three hundred years.

The Han Dynasty was once called the Strong Han Dynasty, but not many years after the Han Dynasty was destroyed, the darkest Five Barbarians invaded China appeared. He often couldn't sleep at night, and he would often watch the prosperous and powerful Sui Dynasty saved by his father for him, and one day it would flourish and decline. This idea made him unacceptable. He began to work diligently in government affairs and work in government affairs every day. He even traveled thousands of miles to the far and cold Zhangye. That time, 40% of the palace concubines and guards who accompanied him died or injured.

But he was not scared and continued to act. He defeated the Turks, destroyed Yiwu, and destroyed Tuyuhun. But every day when he stopped, he always felt that all he had done was not enough, always like a mirror, water and moon, towers in the sky, and nothingness like a mirage. He built a canal and moved to the Eastern Capital.

Finally, when he noticed the pearls on the dome in this Tai Chi Hall, he finally understood what he wanted. He wanted to create a stronger Sui Dynasty in his lifetime, establish a stronger dynasty, so that the Chinese Han people could completely get rid of the threat of the Hu tribe in the north, and never worry about the disaster of the destruction of the clan. Faced with this heavy goal, he could not do it step by step. He was very much looking forward to preparing everything in his lifetime.

Especially when his only two descendants but still lost a prince he liked the most, facing his second son, King Qi Lai, who was unruly and had little strategy to stabilize the country, his heart became heavier. He could not imagine the consequences of his 100-year career, if the only remaining son, Yang Lai, came to take charge of the Sui Empire, he became anxious and could not hold back. He was determined to build a powerful empire for Yang Lai in his lifetime, which was prosperous and stable, and was not threatened by the foreign tribes in his surroundings.

And feeling the traditional habit of ministers of aristocratic families in the Northern and Southern Dynasties usurping the throne, Yang Guang eagerly attacked the noble families of the Sui Dynasty. And then urgently, not only for the aristocratic families, but also since the crown prince, Yang Guang's policies have become increasingly eager for quick success and instant benefits.

Too eager for quick success and instant benefits finally made him swallow the bitter fruit himself. He fought against Goguryeo three times, killing and injuring millions, and the imperial energy was greatly damaged. The attack on the aristocratic families made Yang Xuan feel rebellious. From then on, the nobles of the aristocratic families were separated from him and separated from his morality. Years of great actions also caused the wealthy and powerful Central Plains to be displaced, boiling under the arrow, and peasant rebels rose up. However, Yang Guang always believed that those were just the price he had to pay for his governance, and what he could get was to complete a hundred years of layout in thirty years so that the Sui Dynasty could continue with his incompetent son.

During the eighth and nine years of the year, he hesitated, suffered and wandered, but never regretted it.

Whenever he sat alone in this empty Taiji Hall, looking at the dome in the hall as bright as the starry sky, he became more and more determined in his heart. He told himself that all this is worth it. As long as he passes this level, the Sui Dynasty will no longer have to end in one and two lifetimes like the countless short-lived dynasties that have changed after the Western Jin Dynasty. He wants to build a long-lasting empire that is as brilliant as such, and will always be brilliant.

The most difficult two years finally passed, and he won the bet, and the Great Sui Dynasty finally destroyed the five hundred years of Goguryeo that threatened the Central Plains. After pacifying Goguryeo, the Great Sui Dynasty quickly suppressed the peasant rebels who jumped from all over the Central Plains. In his plan, as long as he defeated the ambitious and unruly Eastern Turks, he would have enough time to recuperate and restore the Central Plains.

But he never thought that at this time he was betrayed by the minister he once admired the most.

When he was the key to Goguryeo three times, Yang Xuangan turned against him, which made his Eastern Expedition defeated. It was precisely because of Yang Xuangan's rebellion that Chen Kefu, who was originally just a small person, became popular.

It also gave Chen Kefu the opportunity to pacify the last powerful enemy of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Eastern Turks, but he jumped out to seize Liaodong and cause chaos.

The changes in the world are just a moment in the starry sky in the sky. The famous Lord Yingzhu,

Where did the sages and heroes come from and where to go? After a hundred years, they are just a cup of loess and cannot escape their fate. In a hundred years, the only thing that can be left is besides the starry sky above the head, only the historical reputation in history books is left.

Famous teachers and sages wrote books and biography, and their reputations were passed down through the ages. But famous kings and heroes created dynasties that had been glorious for hundreds of years, passed on from generation to generation. Even those who were extremely guilty would leave a lot of marks in history books in the end. However, those ordinary people had to have children and pass on their family line to carve their marks in this era.

I will die after all, but I am creating a glorious dynasty that can be passed down for hundreds of generations, and will pass it on to future generations forever. As for the people I am now gathering together, after I die, it will eventually be determined by the final result. As long as I persevere, he will usher in a new era, a great era that belongs only to Yang Sui.

When faced with Yang Xuan's rebellion, he led his army back to the Central Plains and suppressed without hesitation. Now it was finally time for this choice again. On the one hand, the decisive battle between the Great Sui and the Eastern Turks, which were about to be final, could defeat them to maintain the peace of the border for the 30th year of the Great Sui Dynasty. On the other hand, the minister he once admired the most, but now it has become a staggering stone for his great cause.

This is a difficult choice. Should I defeat the Eastern Turks first and then turn around to solve the Liaodong in the east? Or should I pacify Liaodong first, kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and intimidate all the peasant rebels in the Central Plains who have been foolish again?

First north and then east, or first east and then north?

Yang Guang stood up and picked up the military information placed on the case. The letter was still the same. The Wagang army broke through Jindi Pass, Xingyang Xianguan and had already entered the counties of Xingyang County.

"Wagang, Chen Kefu" said the two names gently several times, Yang Guang stood up coldly.

To fight against foreign countries, we must first settle the country. Now, whether it is the Eastern Turks or Chen Kefu, they can actually be considered outside the Central Plains. The 100,000 Wagang Army, which was rumored to have been gathered by Chen Kefu, is close at hand, and Loudong is only more than a day away.

What Yang Guang had to pay more attention to is that in Gong County, Xingyang, it is Luokou Cang, one of the six major granaries in the Sui Dynasty. The Luokou Cang contains 24 million stones of grain, which is the largest granary in the Arctic Sui Dynasty. The storage of more than 20 million stones of grain is one of the three granaries responsible for supplying the eastern capital Luoyang. This granary not only supplies the large granary in Kyoto, but also the grain in it is also the war preparation reserve grain for the entire Henan region of the Central Plains of the Sui Dynasty. At the critical moment, grain can be adjusted from here to the north and west.

If the Wagang Army breaks through this granary, it will no longer be as simple as a small county town.

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, it seems that the 100,000 Wagang Army is already a relatively suitable chicken. First, they are too close to Dongdu, and second, they are related to Chen Kefu, so he will not let it go no matter what.

"Come here, bathe and update me, and immediately convene all officials from the fifth rank or above in the capital. I will hold a grand dynasty meeting in Taiji Hall. In addition, it is said that all generals living in Kyoto, regardless of their actual position, scattered officials, or titles, will be summoned immediately as long as they are from the fifth rank or above! Go quickly!"

Several inner shi knelt down at the entrance of the hall to receive the order, bent down and retreated, jogging all the way to the outside door to pass the order. (To be continued...
