Chapter 154 Prepare for a Rainy Day (Part 1)
The Great Sui Dynasty flourished for a while under the rule of Emperor Wen Yang Jian, but after Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty came to power, it fell apart in just a dozen years. After several dynasties have changed, only the Qin Dynasty, which died in the second generation, is comparable to...
To sum up the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the opening of canals, the construction of Chi Road, and the construction of the Great Wall were all direct causes, but the most important one was the failure of the three expeditions to Goguryeo, which directly destroyed the country. The Sui Dynasty was sent to the grave of history.
After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty failed in his three expeditions to Goryeo, Goryeo built a temple with the bones of the Sui army's fallen soldiers.
"Now that the body is dead, it is buried in the sun. The mountains are so majestic, and the sky so blue. There are trees in the mountains and the country is in mourning. The soul comes back to look at the rivers and mountains."
The cold wind blows, and the thin soil on the Jingguan is blown away, immediately revealing the dense bones underneath. The so-called mountain of corpses and sea of blood is not just an adjective. The loyal souls of hundreds of thousands of martyrs are constantly shouting and calling...
Hundreds of thousands of Han family members fell in the ice and snow of Liaodong. Even if the dynasty changes, the concern and shame cannot be erased. Regardless of men, women, old or young, which Han Chinese doesn’t want to get this debt back?
The Chinese people did not keep them waiting long. Not long after His Majesty Li Er came to power, in the fifth year of Zhenguan, he immediately sent the Guangzhou Sima Changsun to enter Korea, destroy the capital, and collect and bury the bones of the former Sui soldiers one by one. This action is an obvious signal. It indicates that the Tang Empire in Chang'an has not forgotten Goryeo, the last territory in the northeastern corner. Naturally, Goryeo also received this signal, so Gojianwu, King of Goryeo, started an unprecedented large-scale project. He spent sixteen years building a Great Wall that is more than a thousand miles long from Buyeo Castle in the northeast to the sea in the south. Barrier, as a capital against the Tang army, the smell of gunpowder between the two countries became strong again.
Goryeo is a barrier in front of His Majesty Li Er.
Or it's not an exaggeration to say it's inner demons.
If he could not conquer Goryeo, His Majesty Li Er would only be a generation of emperors. Has the number of emperors been reduced throughout the ages? The prosperous age of Zhenguan and the Khans of the world are just lost to everyone.
But if he could sweep Goryeo and achieve something that Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty had never accomplished, and that even all the emperors in ancient times had never accomplished, then His Majesty Li Er would be the emperor of the ages with unparalleled achievements and outstanding achievements in history!
This is an unparalleled achievement!
Of course, the sword has two edges. Once he fails to conquer Goryeo or is defeated miserably, His Majesty Li Er will not only have to face the resurgence of domestic resistance forces, but also destroy the good situation in one day, and he is more likely to end up with the same fate as Emperor Sui Yang. reputation.
You know, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's reputation of being "infamous for thousands of years" was indispensable for his Majesty Li Er's propaganda!
What if I reach that day?
However, His Majesty Li Er is His Majesty Li Er. Even if the consequences are disastrous, his strong self-confidence still allows him to move forward bravely.
Goryeo must not be allowed to unify the peninsula, it must be fought!
Even if we don't think about those false names, a unified peninsula is absolutely not allowed to exist. How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
This is the obsession in His Majesty Li Er's heart. This is also a national policy and cannot be shaken! Even if he fails and fails to conquer Goryeo, his successor must complete this great strategic goal!
Of course, His Majesty Li Er is wise. Emperor Sui Yang has learned from the past and will not go to war rashly for the sake of his own reputation and national strategy.
To be sure, His Majesty Li Er is already preparing for the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo.
Desperately raising military supplies!
Therefore, Li Siwen said that Fang Jun offered glass that could quickly amass money, and Li Siwen said that "Jane is in the emperor's heart"!
That's why Fang Xuanling asked him to give him such a treasure that could make the country rich, because no one understands better than Fang Xuanling how much His Majesty Li Er will value glass.
That's equivalent to giving Fang Jun a gold medal to avoid death!
*********
Throughout the ages, the New Year has been a good opportunity to get closer.
Regardless of whether we are close or distant, in this festival celebrated by everyone, everyone will say "Happy New Year" with a smile, and don't reach out to hit the smiling person...
I don’t know whether it was because His Majesty Li Er granted him a title or because Fang Xuanling felt that his son was already an adult and could be taken out for a few walks. Anyway, Fang Xuanling would send Fang Jun away during the past few days after the New Year to reunite with relatives and friends. Important officials in the court went from house to house to pay New Year greetings and became familiar with each other.
Fang Jun was also helpless. No matter how impatient he was, he knew that this was a means of socializing in the officialdom. At this time, he was not only representing himself, but also representing Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling has a high position and is favored by the emperor. Not everyone is qualified to pay him New Year's greetings, but in the officialdom, one cannot be friends or not. For those who have sent New Year gifts but are not qualified to meet him in person, As an official, two brothers, Fang Jun and Fang Yizhi, came to visit him, gave some gifts in return, expressed their attitude, and the relationship was maintained.
Not only that, the two brothers also need to come to visit the important ministers in the DPRK who have a closer relationship to pay New Year's greetings in person. This is a good way to show the family ties.
Fang Jun's biggest headache is this, because among the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty, there are really too many weird things...
When Yuchi Gong came to pay New Year's greetings, the old black guy looked at Fang Jun's little black face and seemed to like it so much that he dragged Fang Jun to the martial arts arena and had a duel without even eating.
Although Fang Jun was born with supernatural powers, he was still young and lacked experience in fighting, and he couldn't really hurt Yuchi Gong. He was severely punished by this old gangster. His nose was bruised, his face was swollen, his back was sore, and his legs were so painful that he didn't even dare to eat. He escaped through urine...
It will be even worse when you get to Cheng Yaojin!
The old devil led a group of little devils as guests, and pressed Fang Jun on the wine table. He drank high-quality roasted knives, newly brewed fruit wine in autumn, and Jiangnan flower carvings one after another, until Fang Jun was drunk. The sky is dark and the earth is dark, and the sun and moon are so drunk that there is no light...
Until he arrived at the British Duke Li Ji's house at the end of the morning the next day, Fang Jun was still staring at a pair of fishy eyes, feeling groggy and still hungover.
"Wine and sex are like bone-scraping steel knives. Young people should exercise restraint and don't regret it when they are old."
Li Ji frowned slightly, looked at Fang Jun who was yawning and listless and said displeasedly.
He is a smart man, and Fang Xuanling is also a smart man. These two smart men have never participated in the issues regarding the reserve position in the court, so they have always been close to each other, and it is easy for them to give Fang Jun a lesson.
If it were anyone else, Li Ji, who wanted to cherish his feathers, wouldn't be able to get a few words of advice.
Fang Jun was leaning on the couch. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know, Mr. England, but yesterday I went to the Duke Lu's house to pay New Year's greetings, but the old man... ahem... the old man forced me to drink. I can't do it without drinking. I'm really helpless." br>
Li Ji thought about Cheng Yaojin's image as a demon king. Even he couldn't do anything about his shameless temper. What could the young Fang Jun do? He couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "That old man is a bastard. No wonder my nephew, I have wronged you."
Fang Jun chuckled, took a sip of tea, and felt a little more energetic.
It is said that his "fried tea" was given to the princes and nobles in Chang'an City for free, and the response was extremely good. If nothing else, the spring tea will be sold when it comes on the market, which is another way to make money, although it is not as good as The huge profits from glass are not bad when you think about it.
"My nephew heard that His Majesty intends to expedition to Gaochang Kingdom. Is this possible?"
Fang Jun asked cautiously.
Li Ji glared at him, but did not scold him for talking about state affairs. Instead, he said calmly: "What, do you have an idea?"
