Chapter Eighteen, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty

Because of the early agreement, the day Zhifa Dao Ren and Yu Wenhe stood in front of the palace gate. Through the Yimen Gate, there was a tall palace. It looked magnificent and spectacular. Around the hall, there were layers of jade railings densely stacked, but there was a ten-meter wide white stone road that lined the hall high, forming a unique momentum, with several oblong arches in the east, west, south, and north, forming a stunning momentum. Close to the shadow of this tall hall, there were two square pavilions with a slightly smaller but majestic momentum, each with a distance of fifteen or sixteen meters. It stood at the scene, with a single color of yellow glazed tiles lined with painted pillars and carved beams, which was truly full of atmosphere.

The Taoist, Zhifa sighed: "The imperial city is indeed majestic!"

Yu Wenji smiled and said, "The palace is not as good as outside, please follow me." He led Zhifei Taoist around the tall palace in front of him, and then went to a garden. Yu Wenji said, "Your Majesty is in this imperial garden, please follow me." He did not send anyone to Tongbing, so Yu Wenji led Zhifei Taoist into the strode. From this point of view, Yang Guang's position shows the embarrassment, and Yu Wenji was reluctant to even do his skills in the store.

Although it was no longer the spring season, the flowers in the imperial garden were still blooming very beautifully! To the unexpected surprise of those who did not know that Yang Guang had already given up on himself at this time, and should have been indulging in the licentious and debauchery of wine and sex. However, what he saw after entering was not like.

On a pavilion built on the lake, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was sitting there silently, with two beauties accompanying him. It would be fine, but he knew that non-Taoist could clearly sense that many places were lurking. But he didn't know that these people were Yang Guang's confidant, or were they used by others to monitor him?

Standing outside the pavilion, Yu Wenhe bowed and said, "My minister, Yu Wenhe, has already brought the Taoist master to come here, and I will submit the order."

The Taoist, who knew that he was not, bowed down and made another tribute: "Taoist of Shanye, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Yang Guang slowly stood up, turned around, and said, "No need to be too polite, just flatter yourself."

The Taoist Zhifei looked up and saw that the man in charge of Jiuwu, nominally the most noble man in the world, looked pale like a dead person. He seemed to be only fifty years old and his eyes were deep. Although he was wearing a bright Nine Dragon Robe and a high crown on his head, he gave people a feeling of decadence. He looked like he was not as energetic as he had finished his energy and had not had much time.

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was also constantly looking at Zhifei Taoist. After a long time, he didn't know what he saw and said, "Are you the Zhifei Taoist?"

The man who knew nothing was looking at him without hesitation and said, "It's me."

Yang Guang said: "The "Eternal Life Skill" is in your hands? You are quite brave. A commoner dares to look at me, don't you want to live?" His tone was plain, but he had a kind of majesty that could not be expressed. In conjunction with his words, there was a sound of swords coming out of the sheath in the dark, especially a faint aura locked on the wise man. Once something happened, it would be a thunderous blow.

Zhifei Taoist's expression remained unchanged, as if he nodded without any notice and said, "The "Eternal Life Skill" is indeed in my hands." He knew in his heart that although Yang Guang was equivalent to being under house arrest, he still had a force to protect himself. The secret master could threaten him must be a master of the level close to the Grand Master. It's no wonder that Yuwen's clan had already rebelled, but he did not dare to act rashly.

Yang Guang said: "Since that's the case, you can serve it."

The Taoist Zhifa smiled slightly, took out the Eternal Life Skill from his arms, and handed it to Yu Wenhua and said: "After all, I am a Taoist priest in the mountains and wilderness, and may not be able to gain the trust of Your Majesty. Please ask General Yuwen to present this Eternal Life Skill on his behalf."

Yu Wenji took the story of immortality, stepped forward a few steps, handed it to a palace maid behind Yang Guang, and then retreated again. Yang Guang nodded, but said, "Yu Wenji, I have something to say to the unknown Taoist, so you can go down first."

Yu Wenhua and maintained a slightly respectful look on the surface, then stepped back. At this time, Yang Guang's face suddenly changed and he said, "Master, do you know why I want to leave you?"

The Taoist swayed his head: "I don't know."

Yang Guang sighed and said, "I just want to talk to someone. Now, I don't know who is trustworthy." Yang Guang's words were filled with desolation: "Since I have inherited the throne, I have been sleeping all night long, thinking about returning to the world, and living in peace and prosperity, and setting up opportunities for the Sui Dynasty for the great Sui Dynasty. Unfortunately, aristocratic families destroyed it, and the great business collapsed halfway. Now, the people in this world are probably living in poverty, and their bones are full of wild bones?"

Zhifei Taoist nodded and said, "It's true."

Yang Guang said: "Are I really wrong?"

The Taoist Zhifa was silent for a while and said, "Your Majesty is indeed wrong. Although it is necessary to open academies to recruit scholars, build a canal to connect the north and south, and conquer Goguryeo to consolidate the Central Plains three times, each thing that will be done well is a great task that will last for thousands of years. But Your Majesty is too impatient. If it is slowly implemented, the world will not be in chaos. Besides, Your Majesty wants to use these things to weaken the power of the aristocratic families. But Your Majesty forgot that the slaves and tenants of the aristocratic families are also His Majesty's people. Moreover, there are countermeasures and policies from the lower countries, but they do not know that when they execute the orders, all the harsh taxes and labor are taken from the good people who have never sold themselves to them. In this way, the foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty is damaged, and the aristocratic families have become stronger and stronger in the process."

Yang Guang's face was gloomy and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Yes, I am too impatient. You are right? Tell me, what rewards do you need for the contribution of the Eternal Life Skill?"

The Taoist who knew nothing was blunt: "Your Majesty would like to give it to the general manager of Yangzhou to command the military, government and people's livelihood in Yangzhou. Can you bear it?"

Yang Guang's face turned dark: "You have a big appetite! Hehe, you have a legitimate take over Yangzhou City, and the general leader in the military, politics and people's livelihood, and you want to establish a country independently? Humph, I'm afraid that the world will change a lot in the future and compete with the world? You have such a big ambition, aren't you afraid that I will leave you here?"

Yang Guang was both stern, but he was not afraid of being aware of the fact that he was not afraid: "If it was an ordinary season, I would not dare to do such indecent thoughts. But at this point, the disintegration of the Great Sui Dynasty was only in front of him. His Majesty was so tragic that his family was dragged down by his family. Instead of leaving Yangzhou to the family, it would be better to give it to me, an outsider. Besides, I am still a little confident in his martial arts. As long as I am not trapped in a hundred thousand troops, it is not difficult to escape."

Yang Guang was surprisingly able to endure it. He was not angry when he heard this, and said, "You have made a plan to achieve the right goal and must first obtain the title of righteousness. But since I have obtained the secret of immortality, I will naturally prolong my life and live a long life. If I don't die, the Great Sui Dynasty will be in chaos. Which family dares to do anything wrong?"

Zhifei Taoist said in a faint tone: "Does Your Majesty believe this?"

Yang Guang sighed: "Yes, I have no more time. Haha, it is ironic that the emperor has to do my part to live and die. Now they are not fully prepared, so they have left me. You are right, it is better to be cheaper than you. I just hope you can live longer and don't die early at their hands, wasting my wishes." When the Taoist said something else, Yang Guang waved his hand: "It's strange that I didn't ask anyone to chop you. Forget it, you can retreat. I will issue an order tomorrow morning."

Zhifei Taoist was in a complicated mood and bowed out again and left. He didn't know that as soon as he withdrew, Yang Guang had already killed the palace servants who were serving beside him.
