Chapter 708: Father's Selfishness There are obviously many people in Changchun Garden, but it is 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 their masks. They were just like the Mo Dao and Chong Shu in their hands, cold and only filled with murderous intent. The people surrounded were all stunned at this moment, looking at the little emperor laughing and crying like a fool. 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 crazy with a pale face, and her body was as stiff as a stone. For a long time, her mind was blank, nothing. She is a noble princess who has been cared for since she was a child. So she rarely tasted fear. The last time she felt fearful was the day God Bless Emperor Yang Yi passed away. Today¡¯s fear seems to be more intense than that day. She turned her head mechanically to look at the majestic figure standing on the high platform, and then the blank space in her mind was occupied by an unprecedented storm. She felt that her head hurt so much that she was about to die. Why did the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who had been dead for more than a hundred years, appear in front of her alive? She couldn¡¯t understand it and didn¡¯t dare to understand it. She didn¡¯t know why, but at this moment she suddenly thought of something. From the founding of the Sui Dynasty to the present, there have been more than a dozen emperors. In less than two hundred years of history, there have been more than a dozen emperors, and each emperor only reigned for more than ten years on average. Why would such a thing happen? She didn¡¯t know why she would think of this. How could she think of this in this situation? "You are all descendants of the Yang family. Although many of you are not named Yang, you have more or less the blood of my Yang family in your bones." Yang Jian's eyes swept across the people present, and after a moment of silence Said: "The reason why I have brought you all here is to tell you this matter. Originally this was the most confidential matter of the Sui Dynasty. From the founding of the Sui Dynasty to the present, almost no outsiders except the emperor know about it. This is my In order for the Great Sui Dynasty to continue, I made the decision after discussing with Wan Xingchen, the old dean of the Yanwu Academy. In order to allow me to come back when the Great Sui Dynasty was in crisis, the old dean spent half of his cultivation. " He He spoke slowly and in a gentle tone. But that kind of innate majesty made everyone listen quietly and carefully. They were indeed scared and had an urge to escape, but when Yang Jian opened his mouth, all they could do was obey. "At the beginning, we three brothers went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to create the Great Sui Empire. The Great Sui Dynasty holds more weight in our hearts than anything else." Yang Jiandao: "Because I am the founder, so I am facing you. The feelings of Da Sui are very different. Da Sui is like the most perfect work of art that I have ever made, and it is also like my child. Many of you can recite it by saying that I am willing to give everything to protect this empire. The ancestral precepts of the Yang family, that is the advice I leave you. " "The Yang family is the Great Sui Dynasty. If the Yang family is destroyed, the Great Sui Dynasty will be destroyed." Yang Jian was silent for a while and said: "I know that most of you are still here. I 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 can I still come back?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t understand this even if I explain it to you.¡± : "So what you have to be sure of now is just one thing. I am your ancestor and the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty. As the descendants of the Yang family, you, as the descendants of the Yang family, have no other choice but to obey me." The little emperor Yang Chengqian on the ground couldn't help laughing: "Yes you are the greatest person in the Yang family. You created this empire that makes the whole world tremble. Your name will always appear in the history books of the empire. On the first page, your achievements will forever be engraved 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. " He raised his head and looked at Yang Jian. "Isn't it enough?" Yang Jian shook his head: "What I want is the immortality of the Sui Dynasty." He said with some sadness: "But you people can only disappoint me. As my descendants, you have the unyielding and peaceful spirit in your bones." Stubbornness has become thinner and thinner, just like the royal blood in your body. If you can guard Sui Dynasty, do I need to come back?" The little emperor's face was full of snot and tears, and he looked particularly embarrassed: "Even if There is no trouble in Da Sui, maybe you will come back, right?" He struggled to stand up and looked directly at me.Jian: "The Great Sui was built by you, it can be said to be your most beloved toy You are full of reluctance to part with this toy. If not, how could you have made such an arrangement with the old dean?" And for this arrangement, all the emperors of the Sui Dynasty were so short-lived! They had to ensure that they died in their prime of life, so that they could preserve the most perfect blood for you to live on! " "I'm starting to admire Grandpa now" The little emperor cried and said: "He decided to live until death. How much determination did he make and how much courage did he use?" He was talking about the father of Emperor Zhenzong, God Bless Emperor Yang Yi. The longest-lived emperor in the history of the Sui Dynasty lived to be over sixty years old and reigned for nearly forty years. Because of this, Yang Yi was already middle-aged when he succeeded to the throne. "I also envy my father!" The little emperor wiped the tears and snot from the corner of his mouth: "He is sick, but it is precisely because of his illness that he can experience normal life, old age, illness and death!" "You talk too much." Yang Jian was silent. After a while, he said: "You are full of resentment. I told you long ago in the instructions I left behind that as descendants of the Yang family, you must have the consciousness to dedicate everything to this empire at any time. Since you have recited this ancestral poem since you were young, "You have succeeded to the throne, why are you in such pain?" The little emperor cried, "Because I am sorry for everything my father has done for me!" Yang Jian frowned, as if he didn't understand this. sentence. After a long, long time, Yang Jian finally understood the meaning of the little emperor's words, and then he couldn't help but sigh: "I thought that Yang Yi was the most courageous and determined one among my descendants. I admire him very much. Now I know that his selfishness is so important that it is more important than his feelings for Sui. "You can say that he is selfish, but he thinks it is okay." Dear father!" At this moment, the little emperor thought of what his father said in his ear before he died. "Cheng Qian I didn't want to tell you these words, but maybe there will be a great turmoil in the Sui Dynasty in the future. In this turmoil, you may die Over the years, in order to let you live a few more years , I thought about it a lot. I just didn¡¯t expect that you would be the one to greet this moment. I tried my best. I wanted to greet everything Unfortunately, God did not give me more time The Great Sui Rebellion. It started with me, and I also want this chaos to end with me, but I can¡¯t live for a few more years" "Your ancestor, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty is not dead yet You have to remember, what I want to say next is You have to promise not to tell anyone the most important secret of the Sui Dynasty. "The little emperor asked innocently at that time: "Where is Dou Shuangfang? He treats the child best, can't he tell it too?" "No. " Yang Yi denied in a strong tone: "Only the emperor of the Sui Dynasty can know this secret After Taizu founded the country, he always had a worry. He was afraid that the empire he created would not last for thousands of years. He hoped that this An empire can have a beginning but no end. The later he got, the more worried and fearful he became that the empire would collapse after his death. You should know that Taizu became increasingly confused in his later years. , killed many loyal people, and most of the people who contributed to the founding of the country were killed at that time" "The old dean couldn't bear to see him like this, so he found Taizu. I don't know, what the old dean couldn't bear was Taizu trying to kill him. Despite the cruelty of all the important officials, they still couldn't bear to see Taizu in such pain. In fact, the reason why Taizu became like this is nothing more than two words fear 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 what will happen to Sui Dynasty after your death, I have a way. Taizu asked him what method he had, and the old dean said that this method can make you live many more years, but the prerequisite Are you willing to sacrifice your descendants?" When he heard this, an unprecedented cold fear spread in Yang Chengqian's heart. He trembled with fear, and his back was covered with sweat in an instant. . "Taizuhow did you answer?" he asked eagerly. Yang Yi was silent for a while and then said with some sadness: "I don't know what the specific situation was at that time, but I think Taizu agreed without any hesitation at that time. Because maybe in his mind, the Sui Dynasty was better than the Sui Dynasty. His descendants are much more important. If he can live for a long time to protect this empire, then 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 makeAncestor fell into a deep sleep, as if asleep and would not die. When the Sui Dynasty was in danger, as long as someone woke him up, he could appear in the world again to protect his empire. This was a big secret that could not be told to anyone except the direct descendants of the Yang family. In the end, Taizu decided that only the emperor could know. " "The price of letting Taizu sleep forever is that his descendants will not live beyond their prime, and then they will be sealed in the imperial mausoleum, and the blood of his descendants will be used to maintain Taizu's life. Therefore, the emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty were all so short-lived The emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty would have been unwilling to accept it. They may have had thoughts of struggle and rebellion, but in the end because the old dean was still there, they had to follow the direction planned by Taizu. develop. " "But your grandfather vented his unwillingness. Perhaps it was because the old dean's mind had changed and he actually acquiesced to this matter. That's why your grandfather lived to be over sixty years old and was the longest-lived emperor in the Sui Dynasty. But unfortunately for you, your grandfather can enjoy his old age in peace, but his blood Taizu cannot be used. I am seriously ill, and my blood Taizu cannot be used So, if you still want to ensure that Taizu does not die, your blood It will definitely be used" What he didn't know was that if Emperor Zhenzong hadn't had an accident, how could he have lived to die naturally? These words frightened Yang Chengqian until his face turned pale. "But" Yang Yikan Looking at his son, his eyes were full of love: "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 I only want you when I am middle-aged. After I die, you will succeed to the throne. Don't rush to have a child. Wait until your child can inherit the throne, at least there will be In a few decades, you can live longer than them"
