Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

"Mr. Xiao, when you finish speaking, I will let this evil boy go down to accompany my Yang family's ancestors."

Yang Jian's tone was heavy, he had already made up his mind.

Xiao Ran said, "Yang Guang went on tours every year. He visited Yangzhou three times, Saibei twice, Heyou once, and Zhuojun three times. As for the trips between Luoyang and Chang'an, they were countless."

"In November of the fourth year of Renshou, Yang Guang, who had just become the crown prince, mobilized hundreds of thousands of peasants to dig long trenches. From the first year of Daye to the sixth year of Daye, more than three million peasants and soldiers were mobilized from various counties to build various sections of the canal. In the third and fourth years of Daye, 1.2 million men were mobilized to build the Great Wall east of Yulin, and half of them died."

"During the more than ten years since Yang Guang took office, the number of people serving in the labor and military service exceeded 10 million. At that time, the national population was 46 million. If half of them were men, minus the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, there would only be 10 million. Therefore, when there were not enough adult men, women took over. This led to a near-zero labor force in the late Sui Dynasty, deserted land, and people having no means of livelihood, leading to cannibalism."

"The people of the world are suffering too much. Uprising is inevitable." Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

He knew well the significance of the people to the world.

Xiao Ran's next words confirmed this point, "In the seventh year of Daye, Yang Guang ordered all soldiers to attack Goguryeo. Not long after, Wang Bo led the peasants to revolt in Changbai Mountain. Liu Badao, Sun Zuan, Zhang Jincheng, Dou Jiande and others also revolted. In the ninth year of Daye, the peasant uprising spread to all parts of the Sui Dynasty. In the first half of the year, peasant uprisings also broke out in Pingyuan, Lingwu, Jibei and other places. In June of the same year, Yang Xuangan rebelled in Liyang. The Sui army withdrew from Liaodong, so Yang Xuangan's uprising failed and he committed suicide."

"Afterwards, the imperial court brutally suppressed the peasant uprising and killed the peasant uprising army. However, the peasant uprising army led by Zhai Rang, Dou Jiande and others defeated the Sui army repeatedly. Yang Guang wanted to use a policy of terror to intimidate the people and kill all the captured people, which would make the people join the peasant uprising army. This move didn't work, so Yang Guang changed his strategy and ordered the construction of castles in various places, moved the people into them to live and farm nearby. Under the cover-up of the treacherous ministers around him, Yang Guang mistakenly believed that the uprising had been resolved."

"In April of the 13th year of Daye, Li Mi led his army to besiege the Eastern Capital and issued a manifesto detailing Yang Guang's ten major crimes. In May, Li Yuan raised an army in Jinyang and a few months later, he entered Chang'an, supported Yang You to become emperor, and honored Yang Guang as the Supreme Emperor."

"In the 14th year of Daye, Yang Guang saw the chaos in the world and had no intention of returning to the north, so he prepared to move to Danyang Palace. However, his entourage were all guards from Guanzhong, and they fled back home because they missed their hometown. At this time, General Yuan Li and others conspired with Zhige Pei Qiantong, using the guards to push Yuwen Shu's son Yuwen Huaji as the leader to launch a mutiny. Yang Guang fled to the West Pavilion in panic. He was captured by the rebel Pei Qiantong and others. Yang Guang wanted to drink poison to commit suicide, but the rebels ordered Hu Xingda to strangle him. The chaos caused by Yang Guang caused the population to drop sharply to two million households, and the whole country was desolate."

The hanging heart finally died.

After hearing what happened in the Sui Dynasty after his death, Yang Jian suddenly suspected that Yang Guang was not his biological son.

"I'm dead, but the ministers in the court are still alive. Didn't Su Wei and others give them advice?"

He couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Ran answered, "After Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty ascended the throne, he conferred Su Wei the title of Supreme General. The emperor started to build the Great Wall, and Su Wei advised to stop the large-scale labor service, but to no avail. After Gao Zuo, He Ruobi and others were killed, Su Wei was implicated and dismissed from office. A year later, he was appointed as a prefect again. Soon Yang Guang summoned Su Wei back to the court and appointed him as Minister of Rites. This year he followed Yang Guang to conquer Tuyuhun and was promoted. Because he was an old minister of the previous dynasty, Yang Guang gradually used him. After being promoted again, Su Wei, together with General Yuwen Shu of the Left Guard, Pei Ju, Imperial Secretary Pei Yun, and Internal Secretary Yu Shiji, jointly presided over the government, and were called the Five Nobles."

"When it came to the Liaodong campaign, Su Wei submitted a petition to resign due to his old age, but Yang Guang did not agree. The next year, he followed the emperor to conquer Liaodong again. Su Wei once reminded Yang Guang that the hard labor in the country was too heavy, but Yang Guang did not realize the problem."

"In the 11th year of Daye, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was surrounded by the Turks while touring Yanmen. He wanted to break through the siege with light cavalry, but Su Wei dissuaded him. Yang Guang gave up and fortunately the Turks left. He then arrived in Taiyuan. Su Wei persuaded him to return to the capital Chang'an to handle state affairs properly, but Yang Guang followed the advice of Yuwen Shu and others and went to the eastern capital Luoyang."

"At that time, the whole country was in chaos. Yang Guang asked his courtiers about the thieves. Only Su Wei told the truth, which made the emperor unhappy. Su Wei presented a copy of Shangshu to give advice, which made Yang Guang even more dissatisfied. He asked Su Wei about the expedition to Liaodong. Su Wei hoped to pardon the thieves and let them go to attack Goryeo. Therefore, Yang Guang, who was unhappy, became suspicious of Su Wei under Pei Yun's slander, and finally dismissed Su Wei from his official position and demoted him to a commoner."

"The matter did not end here. More than a month later, someone accused Su Wei of colluding with the Turks, and the Dali Temple interrogated Su Wei. Su Wei defended himself, and Yang Guang took pity on him and released him."

Sighing deeply, Yang Jian didn't want to ask other officials anymore, "Come here, summon Yang Guang to the palace!"

After the palace servants left, Yang Jian looked at Xiao Ran and asked seriously, "Mr. Xiao, which of my princes can protect the world?"

"Except Yang Guang, you can carefully select the other heirs." Xiao Ran said.

Yang Jian frowned, "But from what Mr. Xiao said, I am going to die soon, and I don't have much time."

"The following events happened because you fell seriously ill after you made Yang Guang the crown prince. Now you can pay for your treatment." Xiao Ran said it very clearly.

As long as you are paid, living a few more years is not a problem.

Yang Jian was delighted and was about to speak when he heard a voice coming from outside the hall.

"The Queen."

His face changed slightly, and Yang Jian spoke softly, "Mr. Xiao, please step aside for a while and don't let the Queen see you."

Xiao Ran's eyes flickered, "I'll leave first. If you have made up your mind, you can contact me through the spirit stone."

……

Jimo ancient city

After returning home, Xiao Ran stretched and sat casually on the sofa.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma came quietly.

"Xiao Ran, didn't you take the order? Why did you finish it so quickly?" There was some confusion in his eyes. When Zhu Yuanzhang came here before, he met Huo Qubing and learned where Xiao Ran was going.

Xiao Ran said, "I have something to deal with over there, so I'll be back first."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I heard from Qubing that this is a new dynasty, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty."

"It was the Sui Dynasty. Like the Qin Dynasty, it ended in the second generation. However, it was the second emperor who personally caused trouble, forcing the people of the world to revolt, which eventually led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty." Xiao Ran briefly explained the situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, "The people of the world are revolting? Where are the food and weapons coming from?"

Uprising is not just talk. Without food and weapons, even if an uprising really happens, it will not bring about the demise of a dynasty.

Talent and food are essential for a successful uprising.
