Chapter 1 How did the word Guang come from?(1/2)
The first year of Emperor Kaihuang’s reign, Weiyang Palace
"Have you heard? His Majesty invited Yuan Ji to check the health of all the princes and highnesses?"
"Yuan Ji? Round?"
"I don't know, wait, which Ji are you talking about?"
"The one we don't have."
"What are you talking about? This is Yuan Ji, Sicang of Liangzhou. It is said that this person is familiar with astronomy and geography, can know the front and back, and is good at judging yin and yang."
"No, I'm still an old minister from the previous dynasty. What if it's someone with ulterior motives?"
The two young eunuchs chatted with each other like chickens and ducks, and were quickly overwhelmed by the rush of people.
In the palace where the owner has changed, the eunuchs and maids are anxiously cleaning up any leftovers from the previous dynasty, fearing that any slightest sign will make the mighty new emperor angry.
This imperial city changed its owner not long ago and is now called Sui Dynasty.
The sky was filled with mist and rain, and the entire imperial city was immersed in such cold and damp conditions.
People were filing in one after another at the entrance of the palace, and in the center of the crowd was a young boy.
Under such circumstances, Yang Ying's eyes suddenly widened. In just a few breaths, she accepted her identity from time travel. After all, as a young person in the new era, accepting time travel is the same as paying taxes.
The person who traveled through time was the second prince of the Sui Dynasty, named Yang Ying. The current emperor was Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, who had just bullied an orphan and widowed mother and ascended the throne. He was immediately confused.
Although his college entrance examination results were not ideal, the second son of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty would later become the famous Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. How could he be called Yang Ying when he traveled through time? Is this a parallel universe?
With an anxious mood and no time to think about it, he followed the crowd surrounding him into the palace.
After sorting out my memory, except for the name, everything else is really the same as Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Queen Dugu, and even his unlucky eldest brother were indeed named Yang Yong. At first, the Yang family was a noble of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the family lived happily. However, a few months ago, a major change suddenly occurred in the family, and he had to change his life from food and clothing.
The worry-free second-generation official became the second-generation emperor.
With doubts, Yang Ying was taken to a side hall, and then everyone left, leaving only a young eunuch named Wang Yi, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old and was his most loyal subordinate.
Looking around and not knowing the reason, Yang Ying asked Wang Yi: "Wang Yi, why did my father suddenly summon me to the palace today?"
"I don't know."
After traveling through time, I found this Yang Ying. Although I didn’t understand why he wasn’t called Yang Guang, the other histories were similar, so maybe this Yang Ying was Yang Guang, and he thought about countermeasures.
In history, Yang Guang was called a tyrant and the chief culprit for the death of the Sui Dynasty II. As the end of the dynasty that had turbulent in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, the Sui Dynasty completed the unification. Unfortunately, the time was too short, allowing the Tang Dynasty to seize the throne.
The fate of the country and the prosperous Tang Dynasty were created.
There is a saying on the Internet that the Tang Dynasty was not as prosperous as the Sui Dynasty at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, this statement is definitely wrong, but it can also explain one thing, that is, the Sui Dynasty was indeed very powerful and prosperous.
The three provinces and six ministries system, the imperial examination system, these systems used in the Sui Dynasty were all perfected in the Tang Dynasty, and made an indelible contribution to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Let alone the Grand Canal, future generations will benefit from it.
In modern times, there are many people who vindicate Yang Guang, saying that Yang Guang was discredited by later generations. He was not a foolish king, but a wise king with great achievements. Such comments are very popular.
Yang Guang is by no means a useless and incompetent monarch. He is not a mediocre person. On the contrary, he has great ideas, and everything is a big deal, but he is too impatient.
He served as emperor for a total of more than ten years, building the Great Wall, repairing canals, fighting in the south and north, patrolling Zhangye in the west, driving in Liaodong three times, pacifying Tuyuhun and re-opening the Silk Road. His biggest failure was that he was too eager for quick success and attempted to achieve an eternal great cause.
Success comes in one day.
Men should not be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, hurry up. Once you are in a hurry, even if you have a big plan and a long route, you are still a novice.
Everyone's slander against him is nothing more than using the people too seriously, using the people too hastily, and being licentious and immoral.
He is indeed too impatient. He is so happy with his achievements that he wastes money and people and does not understand the sufferings of the people.
As for debauchery and immorality, debauchery is possible, but it is not considered to be immoral. If we count the emperors for thousands of years, there are a few who are not lewd. Not to mention emperors, there are a few normal people who are not lewd.
For young people who like time travel, what is the first thing they do after they think of time travel? It has to be starting a harem.
If you were to be an emperor, you would have to have three thousand beauties in the harem love her three thousand times first. If you were to be an ordinary person, you would try your best to open a harem, and then three thousand beauties in the harem would love her three thousand times again.
And history is history, I am me.
Since I have traveled to the Sui Dynasty, I definitely cannot let the Sui Dynasty II die, and naturally nothing will happen to the Li family and his son.
At present, a policy for future planning has been designated: "Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and claim the throne slowly."
To put it simply, it means getting Gou. After all, the ancients said that Gou benefits the country and lives and dies by it, and then there will be three thousand beauties in the harem.
Just when I was laughing out loud thinking about my future royal hegemony, the door of the room was slowly pushed open.
An old man with white hair and beard, oh no, he must be middle-aged, walked in. Although he had gray hair, his face was rosy. Judging from his hair, he was in his sixties or seventies, and his face was in his thirties. It was hard to tell how old he was.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the minister Liangzhou Sicang Yuan Ji, please see His Highness."
Looking at the strange person who suddenly appeared, this was the imperial palace, obviously arranged by the emperor, so he said, "Mr. Yuan, what do you want from me?"
Yang Ying remains friendly to others.
Yuan Ji entered the room and sat down opposite Yang Ying, minding her own business. She looked Yang Ying up and down, which made Yang Ying get goosebumps: "Why does Mr. Yuan look at me like this?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, in addition to being His Majesty's minister, I am also a country doctor. I have been ordered by Your Majesty to come to check on Your Highness's health."
Country doctor? Come and see your body? Maybe only your stupid brother would believe this, but since there was an imperial order, Yang Ying did not refuse.
"Let's take a look, Mr. Yuan."
"Your Highness, could you please allow me to take your pulse?"
Yang Ying stretched out her hand and took her pulse, frowning slightly, Yang Ying asked: "Multiple pulse?"
"Um..."
Yuan Ji, such a serious person, almost couldn't hold back: "Your Highness is really good at joking. Your Highness has a strong pulse, which is different from ordinary people. This is something only a humble minister has seen in his life."
"Can I have a son?"
Yang Ying's question left Yuan Ji speechless. Why do you, a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid, have so many weird questions?
"Your Highness, can you let me touch the skull?"
"Just touch it and don't open it."
Yuan Ji: "..."
After what seemed to be a normal operation, Yuan Ji bowed and stepped back and said: "Your Highness, you are in good health. Your Majesty has completed the examination. Your Highness can leave the palace."
"That's it?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Yang Ying looked puzzled, but left the palace first.
Although Yang Ying and others are not very old, after Yang Jian ascended the throne and crowned them kings, his mother, Queen Dugu, immediately arranged for their brothers to open a mansion outside. Yang Ying suspected that she wanted to live a life of two with Yang Jian.

The five princes all checked out and were arranged to leave the palace.
……
In the emperor's conservatory, Yang Jian, the young and strong Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was tall and tall, with a blessed face but a look of self-importance. He was surrounded by dignified and beautiful women in their prime, and every move he made had the look of a mother in the world.
She is so powerful that you can’t tell she is a mother who gave birth to five sons.
"Yuan Ji, what was the result of your five princes' fortune telling today?"
Yuan Ji looked troubled: "Your Highness's princes are naturally the best among men."
"To tell you the truth, I didn't ask you to come here because I wanted to hear compliments. People say that you, Yuan Ji, have the ability to uncover heavenly secrets, and are you trying to deceive me?"
"I don't dare. It's just that the secret will be revealed, and I'm afraid that His Majesty will blame me. I really don't dare to say anything."
"You said, I will pardon you and reward you even more."
Although the emperor said this, Yuan Ji was sweating on his forehead. Since ancient times, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger, let alone such a hero who can calm down troubled times.
"Your Majesty's third son, King Qin Yang Jun, is courageous, heroic, filial and benevolent. However, he may be willful in the future and his behavior will be difficult to control. Your Majesty, please pay more attention to him."
Half is good and half is bad. There is no clear sign on Yang Jian's face, but he starts from the third son, which makes Yang Jian a little confused. It is not from big to small, nor from small to big.
"His Majesty's eldest son, Yang Yong, has a playful nature, likes unusual things, and is quite domineering. His parents are not close friends, so it is probably best not to stay with him for a long time."
After talking about Yang Yong, Yuan Ji looked at Yang Jian with some worry, for fear of being blamed. Yang Jian's face was livid. He had half a good word to say about the third son before, but when it came to the eldest son, he had almost no good words, which meant that he really couldn't think of anything.
There is a saying that parents have a bad relationship.
"Continue."
"Your Majesty's five sons can't do it."
"Why not?"
It seems that five sons are not good because of traditional culture.
"Yang Liang, the fifth son of the Han Dynasty, has a poor relationship with his children and may have no heirs."
"Absurd!!" Empress Dugu couldn't help it anymore and started to slap the case directly. Yuan Ji lowered his head and did not dare to reply.
Yang Jian stretched out his hand to signal the queen to sit down: "Continue, do you have a solution?"
To be continued...
