Chapter Ten Secrets
Chapter 10 Secret
When Yuchi Mingyue said that she was Yuchi Jiong's granddaughter, she was nervous, but she heard the emperor suddenly sigh and waved her hand: "You guys go down."
"Yes, I will leave." The palace maids shouted in unison. The emperor did not punish them, which undoubtedly made them feel very grateful. However, Yuchi Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart. She grew up in the palace and naturally knew how rare such an opportunity was. If she missed this time, the emperor might soon forget her.
Seeing a group of palace maids going down, an eunuch said intriguingly: "Your Majesty, do you want that Yuchi Mingyue to come to bed tonight?"
When Yang Yong was the crown prince, in order to win the favor of the emperor, the empress only married three wives and concubines. Now he has ascended the throne. He has been mourning for the advanced emperor some time ago. No one in the people can marry. The emperor himself has to consider the influence. Not only did he not add people in the harem, but he released most of the palace maids, which does not mean that he does not like beauty. Now the emperor obviously has an interest in the palace maid. The palace maid looks like a fairy and can follow the emperor. The eunuch who is smart is thought to have guessed the emperor's thoughts, but when he mentioned it, the emperor immediately shouted: "Get out!"
"I deserve to die! I deserve to die!" The eunuch was so scared that he was half-hearted that he knelt on the ground, trying hard to snatch his mouth.
The other eunuchs were regretting that they had not mentioned it first, and they immediately became gloating. They were also secretly wondering whether the new emperor was really uninterested in beauty. The current queen is not as jealous as Queen Dugu.
If a palace maid was so beautiful, Yang Yong would not mind letting her sleep, but Yang Yong was no longer in the mood at this time. Since the Zhou Dynasty of the Sui Dynasty, Yuchi Fanchi had entered the temple to be a nun. More than twenty years have passed. The former girl may have become a middle-aged nun.
If Yang Yong was not completely unconscious at the beginning, he was just that compared with beauty, Yang Yong pursued more. Now he remembered again and felt a little sympathy for Yuchi Fanchi's fate. However, Yang Yong could not do anything for her now. However, it was always sad to think about it, and Yang Yong temporarily lost the mood to let Yuchi Mingyue serve in bed. The eunuch was only in his twenties, but he didn't know that there were so many twists in the middle, so he could only say that he suffered an undead disaster.
"Okay, stop."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." The eunuch's face had already swollen. He heard the order and was quickly retreated as if he had received a general amnesty.
Yang Yong was relieved for a moment. He sat down in the imperial study room and waved his hand to let all the eunuchs retreat. After the eunuchs retreated respectfully, Yang Yong thought about it and pressed the inconspicuous place in the corner of the imperial study room. A chirping sounded and a wooden box was pushed out.
Yang Yong took action to put the small box on the table. The box was locked by a copper lock. Yang Yong touched it on his body, took out a small key, inserted it into a copper lock, and with a click, the copper lock opened. Yang Yong lifted it with his hand, and the lid of the wooden box slowly opened.
There was not a treasure in the box, only a few booklets were lying quietly in the box. The top book had some slightly yellow and a little damaged. It was obviously a few years ago. Yang Yong gently stroked the booklet with his hand, then picked it up and gently opened it.
The booklets are filled with dense brush words, and there are strange symbols in some places. The characters on them are horizontally arranged, and the strokes of many characters seem to be missed. If someone else saw such a book, he would probably not even be interested in flipping it. It was like a child who had just started school and was drawn randomly. However, the emperor read it very carefully and was like treasures for these books. No, Yang Yong did not think that any treasures were worthy of these books.
There is no doubt that these book volumes were written by Yang Yong before, and there are a variety of things recorded on it. Yang Yong wrote down everything that Yang Yong thought was not available in the world and was useful. Yang Yong wrote down these things at will, and never sorted them out. Many things were repeated, so they seemed very messy.
Yang Yong has been memorizing these books for more than 20 years, and there are only five books in the box. However, except for the first two years, Yang Yong has recorded four books since he was the first to remember the book. He has not finished the book since he was the one in his hand. Especially in recent years, Yang Yong has not remembered a single word. Occasionally, he remembered something and wanted to remember it. After flipping through the previous book, he has already remembered it.
This is the only evidence that Yang Yong is different from this world. Apart from himself, he has never seen any of his closest wives, concubines and children. When he was in the Eastern Palace, even if there was nothing to remember, Yang Yong would take out the box alone in the study and read it quietly.
But from the time he ascended the throne to now, except for when he personally moved the box from the East Palace to the palace that day, Yang Yong also looked through it. The box has been lying in the corner for more than three months. Yang Yong finally got Xia today and took out the box again.
He looked at the front briefly and turned to the middle. There was a blank space on it. Yang Yong thought about it, took out a brush from the table, dipped it ink, and wrote it on the blank page. After writing, Yang Yong put down the pen again, and the blank page was occupied by six large characters: canal, imperial examination, and navigation.
Yang Guang did two of these three major events in history, which brought prosperity to future generations for thousands of years, but Yang Guang's fate was not very good. Although Yang Yong is now an emperor and has the knowledge of later generations, these three major events are not easy. One thing can be done to make an emperor famous for the ages. If he did two, it is very likely that the past will become a demon for thousands of years. What if it were three?
After thinking about it, Yang Yong took the pen again, turned over another page, lowered the words canal in the lowercase letter, and then wrote down the notes. With five years of hard work, more than 500,000 manpower, and working all year round, he built 3,500 miles of the canal to communicate with the five major water systems of Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River.
After writing, Yang Yong put down his pen and sighed. The canal had its disadvantages but had its advantages for thousands of years. However, he had to try to change the disadvantages to advantages. Only by using slaves. As for the source of the slaves, of course, they came from outside wars. Now in the Battle of Mayi, the Great Sui Dynasty had more than 20,000 prisoners. The fate of these prisoners was to be demoted to slaves who built the Grand Canal. The Grand Canal had not been completed and these slaves were not pardoned.
Of course, these 20,000 people are far from enough. Even if the entire Eastern Turks were destroyed, they could not get 500,000 laborers. Yang Yong looked up on a large map hanging in the imperial study room, and his eyes finally stopped in the direction of Goguryeo. There are currently 500,000 households in the entire Goguryeo. Each household has two to three laborers. If it is destroyed, it can provide at least 80 to one million laborers, and it is more than enough to build the Grand Canal.
There is a saying in later generations that under every sleeper of the Central Taiping Railway in the United States, there is a Chinese soul under the grievance of the Chinese. If the Grand Canal is completed, I wonder if it will be passed down in the future. Every meter of the canal in Daye Nian has a grievance of the aliens.
But what's the matter? Americans rely on the Central Taiping Railway to communicate between the north and the south, and after decades, they became the world's largest power. Who cares a hundred years later?
Hum, why am I afraid of reputation? Yang Yong smiled coldly. The winner will not be judged. I want to tell the people behind that war is not about military force, but human resources are also a kind of resource. What's wrong with the cry of the foreign race in exchange for the laughter of the own race?
Fortunately, the country has just been reunited for a while and Confucianism is not strong. Yang Yong is sure that as long as most officials taste the sweetness, there will not be many people who will complain about these aliens.
"Father, Father." A yellow oriole-like voice came outside the study. Yang Yong heard the voice of his little daughter Yang Lan. His face changed. He put the book he had just written in the box and locked it again, hid it as quickly as possible. After doing these things, the door of the imperial study room was knocking loudly.
"Here, come." Yang Yong opened the door of the Yu Study Room.
Yang Lan's little head came in and glanced into the study. Seeing that there was no one except Yang Yong, she was very surprised: "Father, what are you doing?"
Yang Yong shook his head and did not answer. He put Yang Lan in. His three sons had all been enfeoffed from Beijing and guarded Jiangnan together. There were only two daughters in Beijing. Yang Lan was fourteen years old and completely inherited the beauty of her mother Yun Meier. She was wearing purple clothes, with a white fox fur around her neck, and her breasts were bulging. Two red glows surged on her snow-white face because of running. She was very delicate and cute. At this time, she was lying in Yang Yong's study, as if she was looking for something?
"What are you doing?" Yang Yong asked in confusion.
"Father, where are you hiding her in that beautiful palace maid?" Yang Lan blurted out.
Yang Yong was ridiculous and laughed. When Yang Lan asked this, he seemed to suspect that he was having an affair just now. If it were someone else, Yang Yong had already been begging him to beat the bill. However, facing his daughter, Yang Yong had always favored him and tried hard to say, "Songyang, what are you talking nonsense? Where did the palace maid come from here when my father came from?"
Yang Lan had searched all the corners of the Imperial Study room at this time. Seeing that there was indeed no one, she gave up the idea. However, she was not afraid of Yang Yong's stern face. Instead, she grabbed Yang Yong and shook it: "Father, tell you, is the palace maid who plays the piano beautiful or is me beautiful?"
Yang Lan's charming look could no longer maintain her stern face, and she showed a smile: "Of course, my good daughter is the most beautiful. Who in the palace can be more beautiful than my Princess Songyang?"
Yang Lan said unhappily: "My father lied to others, and my mother was more beautiful than others. Some guys said just now that there was a palace maid in Ganlu Hall not only played the piano beautifully, but also looked like a fairy."
Although Yang Lan is beautiful, she is still young after all, and she is certainly incomparable to the thrilling beauty of Yuchi Mingyue. But I don’t know which eunuch talks too much, and it’s heard it so quickly. Yang Yong said angrily: “Who is talking nonsense? I have to cut off his tongue?”
Yang Lan was not distracted by Yang Yong's words and insisted on pestering the beautiful palace maid. If she wanted to investigate, Yuchi Mingyue had a name and surname and could be found in the palace soon, but Yang Yong was not in the mood to see Yuchi Mingyue for the time being, so she shook her head and refused. Yang Lan begged for a long time, but when Yang Yong refused, she muttered and had to give up.
If the children born in ordinary families are almost married to a wife by the age of fourteen, and are already sensible, Yang Lan has been growing up in the palace. In addition, Yang Yong has always been favored by his daughter, and her sister has not yet been married, so she naturally doesn't have to worry about getting married for the time being. She is still a little girl's character, and soon she clamors to leave the palace.
When he was the prince, Yang Yong often took his guards out of the city or played casually in the city. He became the emperor. Compared with when he was the prince, there were more and more restrictions. Moreover, some families in the city who died in the bloody night of the capital were missing. The city was not very safe. Yang Yong had rarely left the palace. Now several months have passed, and those fish that oppose the emperor were basically wiped out by the secret guards, which were much safer. Yang Yong could not be entangled and nodded in agreement.
Yang Lan immediately cheered and immediately ran towards the harem, wanting to tell her sister Princess Pingyang's good news and change her clothes again. It took almost half an hour before Yang Lan and her sister Yang Yan came together. Both of them changed into fur clothes. The white fur clothes set off their beautiful faces, like elves in the snow.
