The three most miserable things in life are losing your father when you are young, losing your father in middle age, and losing your son in old age.
Well, this is for women!
For a man, losing his wife in middle age is not necessarily a bad thing, because he can have a mistress openly and openly!
Compared to the emperor's family, losing his father when he was young is not necessarily a bad thing. If the emperor's father never died, then it would be a real disaster!
However, for everyone, losing a child in old age is still quite desolate!
Yang Guang is only in his early thirties this year, and he is not yet old. However, for more than a year since he became emperor, Yang Guang has been a groom every night, having sex every day, and his body and bones are rapidly collapsing. Now, Yang Guang has already tormented himself.
He must be aging prematurely, almost like an old man!
One of the most intuitive manifestations is that although Yang Guang plays sex every day, after more than a year of hard work, Yang Guang has not made a baby. Without it, he is physically weak!
Up to now, although there are tens of thousands of beauties in Yang Guang's palace, he still produces two sons and one daughter. It can be seen that the survival rate of Yang Guang's kind has been extremely low!
But even Yang Guang couldn't keep these two sons.
In July of the second year after Yang Guang officially changed the Yuan Dynasty and ascended the throne, Yang Guang's eldest son, the fat little prince Yang Zhao, died!
Poor little fat Yang Zhao is suffering from obesity, he is so fat!
This year, Yang Zhaoxu was only twenty-two years old.
However, although Yang Zhao died early, he still left behind three sons.
The eldest son was born to Liu Liangdi, King of Yan, Yang Tan, who was only four years old this year.
The second son was born to Liu Liangdi, the king of Yue, Yang Tong, who was only three years old.
The youngest son was born to Yang Zhao's concubine Wei Shi, and he had just turned one year old.
As the crown prince, Yang Zhao is more reliable than his second brother Qi Wang Yang Jian and his father Yang Guang. Not only does he accept civil and military orders, but he is also more modest and filial. He never gets angry, even if he is extremely angry.
The most I can do is say something like "How could this be?"
It's a pity that little fat Yang Zhao died young due to the jealousy of talented people.
After hearing that his eldest son Yang Zhao died young, Yang Guang's behavior was quite strange.
When he arrived in front of Yang Zhao's soul, he cried three times. Then, Yang Guang stopped crying and went back to the palace to continue having sex with the beautiful palace maids and concubines!
There was another person who went even further, and that was Yang Zhao's second brother, King Yang Jian of Qi.
When he heard that his brother was dead, Yang Jian didn't even pretend to cry. He directly ordered people to beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers. The entire Prince Qi's mansion, from top to bottom, was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and there was a lot of joy. It was more lively than a bride-to-be getting married during the Chinese New Year.
Three points!
In the entire Yang family, it seems that the only one who is really sad about Yang Zhao's early death is Yang Zhao's biological mother, the current queen, Empress Xiao.
On the second day after Yang Zhao passed away, another important figure in the Sui Dynasty, Zuo Pushe and Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, finally died!
Compared with Yang Zhao who died without any warning, Yang Su's death had been foreshadowed for a long time.
As early as more than a month ago, old man Yang Su fell ill.
Hearing that Zuo Pushe was ill, Yang Guang quickly sent the best imperial doctor out to treat old man Yang Su.
In name, he sent someone to see the old man Yang Su, but in fact, every time the imperial doctor returned to the palace, Yang Guang did not ask about the old man Yang Su's condition, but bluntly asked when the old man Yang Su would die.
!
Although he didn't know what the imperial doctor reported back to Yang Guang, old man Yang Su was also very self-aware and knew that he was a high-ranking and powerful person who was hated by people. Yang Guang was afraid that he would like to curse him to die early every day. Old man Yang Su
It's better to simply not take any medicine, and I just kept going for more than a month, and finally died.
After hearing that old man Yang Su was dead, Yang Guang was very happy. Regardless of the fact that his son had just died a day ago, he summoned a hundred maids in one go and planned to kill a hundred people to celebrate...
It's a pity that Yang Guang's physique has been hollowed out after more than a year of messing around. Although the so-called Hundred-Man Killing was just a quick shot on a palace maid, Yang Guang still couldn't persist to the end.
After more than fifty clicks, he collapsed and completely withered.
Although two heavyweights died in the Sui Dynasty within two days, it seems that this matter has no direct impact on Yuwen Xiaomagan'er.
On the other hand, Old Man Gao, after holding three monthly examinations in Longmen Academy, finally felt that the examination system had been almost perfected, so he took another big step forward in the imperial examination system, that is, to let Taixue and Longmen Academy
Take the joint examination.
The so-called joint examination between the two schools is actually just that the top students from the two schools, who seem to have achieved academic success, are brought together for a joint examination. It is said that the purpose of this examination is to test the abilities of the students from the two schools in order to provide
An objective comprehensive evaluation of these students.
Since this exam was nominally only a matter between the two schools, although it was a bit novel and attracted many people's attention and vigilance, no one actually jumped out to object.
Even when Zuo Weijun came forward to help maintain order in the examination room, it was just a few censors who were too idle to say a few words in front of Yang Guang.
In response to this, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er's answer was that this was to maintain public order in the capital. There should not be so many people holding rallies. There was no movement from the Left Guards. Otherwise, who would be responsible if something happened!
Intimidated by Yuwen Xiaomagan'er's powerful power, after hearing this, the censors did not dare to entangle any more, and each of them shrunk their necks and dispersed.
The vigorous joint examination between the two schools lasted for three days and finally came to an end without any surprises.
Then came the marking and review, and more than half a month later, it was finally the day for the public release of the results.
To everyone's surprise, in addition to publicly announcing the exam results, the old man Gao Jiong, as the examiner, also reported to Yang Guang the list of those with better scores in the exam.
In this joint examination, there were a total of five subjects, classics and meanings, arithmetic, poetry, strategy and art of war.
The top 18 students in each subject examination were selected, so there were a total of ninety people on the list reported to Yang Guang by Gao Jun.
Among these ninety people, more than seventy came from Longmen Academy, and only a dozen came from Taixue. It can be said that in this first battle, Longmen Academy achieved a great victory.
After receiving the list, Yang Guang began to appoint officials with a stroke of his pen.
At this point, those courtiers realized that they and others had been deceived by Old Man Gao!
The abominable old man Gao actually used the banner of the joint entrance examination to sell dog meat, and secretly engaged in the imperial examination business. This is simply something that my aunt can tolerate, but my uncle cannot tolerate!
"Old Man Gao, you're doing this wrong! It's unscientific!"
Old man Zuo Pushe Yang Su had just died a few days ago, and Yang Guang seemed to have no intention of appointing anyone else as Zuo Pushe. Therefore, at the moment, the most powerful person in the court was Old Man Zuo Pushe Su Weisu.
Of course, Old Man Su was the first to jump out and object.
After glancing at old man Su Wei, old man Gao did not answer. Instead, he turned and glanced at Yuwen Xiaomagan'er.
His own Longmen Academy got the biggest benefit. Although he knew that Old Man Gao asked him to protect him from the thunder, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er had to stand up and retort, "What's the matter? Could it be that Su Pushe thinks,
Gao Taichang should not recommend those with good test scores, but should recommend those with poor scores? Or, Su Pushe, do you think that Gao Taichang can only recommend you, an old man, and not others? Old man Su, in your heart
What’s the purpose of being so dark? Could it be that you want to monopolize the government, evade His Majesty, and ultimately achieve the goal of plotting to usurp the throne?”
