Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Yang Jian looked unhappy.

He did not expect that his Sui Dynasty would perish in the second generation just like the Qin Dynasty.

"Please tell me the reason, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Ran's expression calmed down a little, "After you deposed the crown prince, you soon appointed your second son as the crown prince."

"Four years later, in the fourth year of Renshou, you were ill and Yang Su, Liu Shu, and Yuan Yan all entered the Renshou Palace to serve you. You also summoned Crown Prince Yang Guang to live in the Dabao Palace. Yang Guang thought that if you died, he needed to prepare in advance, so he sent someone to send a letter to ask Yang Su. Yang Su replied to the crown prince about the situation in the palace, but he didn't expect that the palace servant mistakenly sent the reply to you, and you were furious. The next day, Madam Chen went out to change clothes and was forced by Crown Prince Yang Guang. She was able to escape after refusing. You became even more angry and summoned Liu Shu and Yuan Yan to come, wanting Yang Yong to enter the palace, and even wrote an imperial edict. They left the bedroom and drafted the imperial edict. Yang Su heard about it and told Crown Prince Yang Guang. Yang Guang falsely conveyed the imperial edict to arrest Liu Shu and Yuan Yan and put them in Dali Prison. They quickly transferred soldiers from the East Palace to guard the Renshou Palace, prohibiting entry and exit, and ordered Zhang Heng to serve you. Everyone in the harem was taken care of, and then you died in the palace."

"Wait, what does this mean? Yang Guang killed his father?!" Hearing this, Yang Jian couldn't help but raise his voice and felt a chill in his heart.

The prince he favored for the time being was so cruel that he could kill his father!

Xiao Ran looked at him sympathetically. "No historian dared to record it openly at the time, but your death was written in an obscure way, so patricide should be true."

In an instant, his blood boiled and Yang Jian felt a little dizzy in front of his eyes. How could he have such a cruel son?

"He is obviously frugal by nature, cares for the people, and is filial. Why..."

Thinking about what he had seen before, Yang Jian still couldn't believe it.

Xiao Ran understood and explained, "You went to Yang Guang's house, and you only saw an older, not very good-looking maid to greet you, and an old zither. And Yang Guang watched people hunting, and it rained heavily, and he and his entourage were exposed to the rain. He also pretended to be very filial in front of Empress Dugu, which pleased the Empress very much. He also lied that Yang Yong wanted to harm him, so Empress Dugu became even more dissatisfied with Yang Yong."

"Not only that, there are people around you and the queen who have been bribed by him, Yang Su is one of them. Even the dethronement of Yang Yong this time was planned by Yang Su, Queen Dugu and Yang Guang."

His hands were shaking with anger and murderous intent flashed in Yang Jian's eyes. Such a sinister and vicious prince should not live in this world!

"The rebellious son deserves death!"

Xiao Ran shook his head, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

"After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he forged the imperial edict and forced Yang Yong to commit suicide. Your brother, Prince of Shu Yang Xiu, was also falsely accused of using witchcraft to curse you and your younger brother, Prince of Han Yang Liang. He was demoted to a commoner and placed under house arrest. Later, he and his sons were placed under house arrest together and were not allowed to see their wives."

"Yang Liang, the Prince of Han, raised an army in the name of attacking Yang Su. Yang Guang sent Yang Su to suppress the rebellion. After Yang Liang surrendered, he was imprisoned until his death."

“These are just the beginning.”

Yang Jian was puzzled, "Who else does Yang Guang want to kill?"

"In the third year of Daye, which was the third year of Emperor Yang Guang's reign, Yang Guang killed his nephew, Prince Changning Yang Yan, and banished all the remaining nephews to Lingnan, where they were all executed on the way." Xiao Ran said.

One of the two things that Yang Guang was most criticized for was that he killed his father, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, as well as his brothers, sisters and blood relatives.

One of them was slapped on the table, Yang Jian's face was full of murderous intent, "Those are all his relatives, how could he have the heart to kill them!"

He could not even harm his own father, not to mention his nephews.

Xiao Ran was helpless, "Do you want to continue?"

Barely suppressing his anger and murderous intent, Yang Jian gritted his teeth and said, "Please continue, Mr. Xiao."

He wanted to know how the Sui Dynasty was destroyed.

"In the same year, Yang Guang rewarded Qimin Khan, the Turkic Khan, with his subordinates and carriages, and gave him a higher status than other princes. Several officials thought that Yang Guang was too generous to Qimin Khan, so Yang Guang executed them all, exiled the descendants of several officials and demoted them to slaves, and even implicated those who had good relations with several officials."

Yang Jian said, "This is too brutal."

Xiao Ran nodded, "Yang Guang has a tyrannical temperament and likes extravagance. This has become apparent since he ascended the throne."

"In the first year of Daye, Yang Guang built the capital of Dongjing, which was completed in ten months. During this period, two million people were conscripted for labor service every month."

The Tokyo built at that time did not have an outer city. The outer city was only built during the reign of Wu Zetian in later generations.

Hearing this, Yang Jian looked dazed. Two million people were forced to do labor service, every month!

Is his son crazy?

Seeing that Yang Jian's breathing was a little strange, Xiao Ran poured him a cup of tea and said, "Listen slowly."

After drinking a glass of water, Yang Jian took two deep breaths and asked, "What else did he do?"

Xiao Ran said, "Yang Guang ordered the construction of tens of thousands of various boats, including dragon boats and tower boats, for Yang Guang to use in his several trips to Yangzhou."

After a pause, Xiao Ran poured him some more water. "When Yang Guang first went to Jiangdu after ascending the throne, the dragon boat had four floors, a total height of 40 to 50 feet, and a length of 200 feet. The top floor had the main hall, inner hall, and east and west court halls. The middle two floors had 120 rooms, all decorated with gold and jade. The bottom floor was where the eunuchs lived."

"In addition, Yang Guang renovated palaces, gardens, and villas in various places. There are Xianren Palace, Jiangdu Palace, Linjiang Palace, Jinyang Palace, Xiyuan and other palaces."

"Among them, the Xianren Palace was built under Yang Guang's order in the first year of Daye. Rare materials and stones were transported to Luoyang, and rare flowers and plants and unusual animals from the sea were used to enrich the garden. When the ship was built, Luoyang officials supervised the labor and forced it to be strict. Four to five out of ten people who worked died, and vehicles transporting corpses came and went constantly. Before the work here was finished, Yang Guang ordered the construction of a new palace, the Tianjing Palace, in Luoyang."

"There is also the extreme splendor of the Western Garden, which covers an area of ​​200 li in radius. There is a sea in the garden, with a circumference of more than 10 li. Whenever Yang Guang came to visit, it was a grand occasion. Not only that, when Yang Guang visited Jiangdu, he led 200,000 people and a fleet of more than 200 li in length. Every place within 500 li of the place he passed by had to contribute food."

Two hundred thousand people, just for fun.

Yang Jian's breathing gradually became unsteady, yet he still offered food. Was he a human being?!

He had never heard of such a luxurious style. It was a pity that such a good son of his died!

He almost fainted from anger, "Unfilial descendant, unfilial descendant! How could my Yang family raise such a beast!"

Xiao Ran was also amazed that Yang Guang had completely taken enjoyment to the extreme.

And it is a luxury built with human lives.

Yang Jian was extremely angry, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "Since I ascended the throne, the population of the country has increased from 462 million in the first year of Kaihuang to more than 700 million in the ninth year of Kaihuang. I have finally allowed the people to recuperate and stabilize the Sui Dynasty. I think I have lived up to my title of Son of Heaven."

"Why does my prince have such a temper?!"

This is really puzzling.

As the second son, Yang Guang had received education at least, and he had also fought on the battlefield when he was young.

How he gradually became a tyrannical king recorded in history.
