The main purpose of the Buddhist prayer ceremony for Yang Guang was to tell the world that the emperor was seriously ill and might die soon. That's why the imperial court invited Master Jiaxiang to pray for God's blessing on the emperor.
Then, next, we have to hold a salvation ceremony for the soldiers who have died in the past few years. The Taoists are not idle either, and they also set up altars to comfort the souls of the dead.
For a time, the entire east was filled with smoke, and you could smell the aroma of incense wherever you went.
And this period of time is the best time for public security in Luoyang, because both sides are asking for gods. Now that the gods are in Luoyang, no one dares to cause trouble.
Yang Jin's marriage was also completed, and another son of Yang Ming moved out of the East Palace and moved into the Palace of Wei Prince.
In April, the repairs of the White Horse Temple and Laozi Temple were completed. Yang Ming, in the name of Yang Guangzong Bodhisattva and the Wanshou Emperor, ordered Su Kui, the minister of Honglu Temple, to check the records of Taoist temples and temples around the world. He wanted to check the monks' records.
It's surgery.
According to Cui Mintao's investigation, these monks occupy more than 9 million acres of fertile land, which is really a shocking number.
If you can get half of it back, the country will be rich.
Therefore, in the fifteenth year of the great cause, a great investigation affecting the world's monks and monastics spread across the country.
All the candidates who came up this year were appointed officials and entered the local government. Only a few were chief officials, most of them were subordinates. In order to give these people confidence, Yang Ming added a halo to them: disciples of the emperor.
It means that we are all His Majesty's disciples. If you local cowards dare to bully us, Your Majesty will make the decision for me.
Yang Ming's ambition to ascend the throne has become clear.
"It's time for the Northeast to be incorporated into the territory. The Protectorate is for Han and Hu autonomous regions, and the local power is actually still in the hands of those barbarians," Cui Mintao said: "Thousands of miles of fertile land, if we can cultivate it into fertile land and make the national treasury rich, we will be able to
The Sui Dynasty no longer suffered from food shortages."
At the court meeting, Cui Mintao proposed to use troops against Walashi Wei in the northeast, occupy the entire northeast region in one fell swoop, and then migrate a large number of people to open up wasteland for farming.
This plain area is a big piece of meat, but the ethnic situation there is too complicated.
"That's inappropriate," Pei Ju shook his head: "To this day, there are still rebellions in the old area of Goguryeo. The area is unstable and it is difficult to send troops to the north. Zhou Fa is still old. It is time for someone to continue to pacify. He wants to control the bitter cold land in the northeast.
If it is included in the territory, it will be difficult for the current national strength to support it."
Cui Mintao said: "Such a good place, but it has been occupied by barbarians. They are not familiar with farming, but they make a living by nomadic herding. It is a waste of natural resources. Even if we can't use troops now, there are still ways to get some land."
Pei Ju still shook his head: "There is nothing trivial about foreign affairs. Now that the northeastern border has been stable for several years, it is not appropriate to start a war again. We cannot fight in this place, so we can only plan it slowly."
After that, Pei Ju looked at Yang Ming and said: "Several trading centers can be established on the border to promote trade exchanges between Han people and barbarians. If there are people who yearn for the Central Plains, they can apply for household registration and gradually absorb the population in exchange for this."
, which encouraged the Han people to enter Mohe, Shiwei and other areas to open up fields and settle there. After a long time, they returned home on their own."
Yang Ming deeply agreed.
In fact, it is immigration. The people in that place live in a very difficult situation. Are they willing to come to the Central Plains? They are very willing, and the immigrants must be the same group of people who are doing well among the tribes, because they can't do well.
Good people don't know how to change.
Household registration in the Sui Dynasty is very valuable. Until now, many Hu people who have been doing business in the Central Plains for half their lives have not been able to obtain household registration in the Sui Dynasty, and the household registration in the Sui Dynasty has not been opened to the outside world.
The reason why Pei Ju suggested this was because he had rich experience with foreign countries and knew what those foreigners wanted most.
After seeing the prosperity of the Central Plains, it's hard not to miss this place.
However, there are still many people who oppose Pei Ju's suggestion. It is still the same old thing and is not my type.
This time, Yang Ming will not care about what most people think. Pei Ju's method is the best. He can win the Northeast without a single blow. No ethnic group can be as compatible as the Han people. The integration of any ethnic group in history, in the end
They were all actively or passively penetrated and assimilated by the Han people.
We currently have four blood types: A, B, AB, and O.
Type B blood accounts for 20% of the total and is mainly caused by the integration of the Xiongnu, Turkic, Xianbei, Jurchen, Khitan, and Xixia blood into the blood of the Han people.
Type A accounts for 40% and is mainly distributed in the south. It evolved from the integration of ancient ethnic groups such as Chu Miao and Nanman into China.
Type AB is a combination of type B people and type A people.
Type O is the earliest Han blood type, mainly distributed in the Central Plains, and its blood origin is from the Yellow Emperor and Dongyi.
This in itself is a great fusion of nationalities, and Yang Ming is very happy to do this. The barbarians that the Sui Dynasty now considers will be one family in future generations, and we are all descendants of the dragon.
So Yang Ming decisively supported Pei Ju and entrusted him with the whole matter, asking Pei Ju to complete the matter of opening the household registration within two years.
In fact, this method can also be implemented for the Western Turks and other Western Region tribes, as well as the Tubo area, but there is no need to rush. Under such conditions in ancient times, things were done on a yearly basis, so there was no need to rush.
Historically, Tubo should have emerged during this period and began to enmity with the Tang Dynasty.
But it won't happen now. If Tubo wants to enter the Sui Dynasty, it has to go through the Hexi Corridor. The Western Turks are very good now and have been submissive to the Sui Dynasty. If the Tubo dares to come, they may be attacked by a group.
........
In June, Yang Guang was dying. He was already losing more air than taking in.
This is all thanks to Yang Lihua. Her elixirs made Yang Guang's face change and turn black. It looked like he was suffering from liver poisoning.
He probably has cirrhosis of the liver, and no one can save him.
Empress Xiao, Yang Lihua, Yang Ming and other members of the royal family and palace relatives are all in the palace now.
Yang Lihua shed tears sadly and kept crying.
No matter how much Yang Xiu hated Yang Guang in the past, now that he saw his miserable state, he kept sighing. After all, they were brothers, and he felt bad in his heart.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Everyone knows that such a day will come, and everyone also knows that Yang Guang will die at any time.
They were all waiting for that moment to arrive, and the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple were already making arrangements.
"I still have to go back to the capital. My father, the emperor, and my empress are all there. Amo can't be too far away from them," Yang Lihua burst into tears after saying this.
Yang Ming hurriedly nodded and said: "This is natural. The capital has been notified to build the emperor's dormitory on the west plateau of Wugong County, fifteen miles south of Tailing. It is a cave in the same line as Tailing, facing each other from a distance."
In ancient times, it was actually more popular for emperors to build their own mausoleums while they were still alive. This was the case for Yang Jian, but not for Yang Guang.
I guess I am still fantasizing about my great achievements and want to achieve great things. I feel that I can live for a long time.
Therefore, the construction of his mausoleum is relatively hasty. The capital has urgently recruited 100,000 migrant workers and is working overtime. Even if Yang Guang dies now, there will be no delay in entering the tomb, sealing the tomb, and subsequent murals, earth and stone carvings, etc., which can be done slowly
Take your time.
Anyway, the specifications will definitely not be small.
Yang Lihua looked at Yang Gongren and said: "You and Yang Xuangan are both going back to the capital to take charge of the overall situation. I don't trust it if you leave it to others."
Yang Gongren nodded quickly: "I will leave tomorrow."
Those in the palace now are all members of the same family, and they are also the largest family members in the Sui Dynasty. Since the head of the family, Yang Guang, has died, it is natural that he should organize the mausoleum project, which makes people feel at ease.
Among these people, few were sad. Yang Guang had already broken their hearts. Perhaps it was his women who were the saddest.
After all, without Yang Guang, the rest of their lives will be very miserable. There is no need to worry about their living standards, but men should not worry about it. Many of them are still in their prime. Once Yang Guang dies, they will have to become widows.
For example, Wang Zhuoling of Langya, who is not yet thirty this year, is a great beauty of Shui Lingling. He can only solve problems by himself for the rest of his life.
As for Empress Xiao, she is almost menopausal and is basically not very interested in such things. If she was really interested, Yang Ming would definitely turn a blind eye, but others could not.
"The imperial doctor said that there is something wrong with that pill. The toxicity has not been completely refined. It is far inferior to the elixir refined by Sun Simiao. Should the queen mother and aunt stop taking it?" Yang Ming said.
Since Yang Guang lost consciousness, Yang Ming allowed people from the Imperial Medical Office to enter the palace to investigate Yang Guang's condition, including Chao Yuanfang.
As soon as Chao Yuanfang saw it, he knew it was poisoning, so he began to check Yang Guang's daily diet, and finally found out the pills. Dozens of imperial doctors each tasted some, and judged that this kind of
The erysipelas in the elixir was not completely refined, which was the main culprit of His Majesty's poisoning.
Now, Yang Lihua was confused. After calling Chao Yuanfang for questioning, she became furious:
"Let the imperial guards go to Feiyun Temple and capture all those damn stinky Taoist priests for me."
Of course, no one would blame Yang Lihua. After all, they were kind-hearted and she ate it all herself.
Yang Lihua hurriedly looked at Queen Xiao and Yang Ming: "Throw it away, both of you, and don't take it again."
Do you need to say this? Empress Xiao was also frightened, fearing that she would be too close.
Chao Yuanfang said: "I will study the antidote for this pill at the Imperial Medical Office. Please rest assured, Queen and Princess, that Your Majesty is weak and has taken it for a long time, which is why he has caused liver poisoning. You two don't look like you are poisoned."
Yang Lihua and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Ming said: "On the way to the elixir, we still have to look at Sun Simiao. I hope he can't make it, and others can't make it. My aunt must not try it easily in the future."
Yang Lihua nodded timidly.
In the middle of the night, everyone dispersed, but they did not leave. They all stayed in Huiyou Hall for the time being, and they had to guard Yang Guang.
Yang Ming was the only one left in the main hall, sitting in front of Yang Guang's bed, looking down at his biological father in this life.
In fact, Yang Guang was really good to him in the past. The three brothers all felt the father's love in Yang Guang. Without Yang Guang, Yang Ming would not be where he is today.
It's a pity that things in the world are fickle. He is too capable of causing chaos and stirs up chaos in the world. Yang Ming's patchwork over the years has gathered the hearts of Yang Guang's lost people in him, so that the conflict between father and son gradually became more and more complicated.
It has reached a point where it cannot be relaxed.
"If my father is a famous figure in the Qing Dynasty, he will be remembered forever. It's a pity..." Yang Ming sighed: "Please feel free to abdicate, my father will take care of everything."
Yang Guang, who was on the hospital bed, moved his fingers slightly.
