I can sign in in Datang

Chapter 811 Killing Father

Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes lit up, the Cui family bought immortal drunkenness and colored glaze from Datang and transported them to Goguryeo, and they made a lot of money. If they could get the formula and produce it themselves, wouldn't they earn more?
The Yuan family is not short of money, but Yuan Gai Suwen is a very ambitious person, and to support his ambition, besides power, he also needs a lot of wealth.

"Brother Cui, go back and wait for news from me, I'll go talk to my father." Yuan Gai Suwen said.

"Okay, it's just that Datang just won another big victory not long ago, and Tong Eshe was captured alive. If you don't hurry up, when the Western Turks are destroyed, it will be too late to send troops." Cui Xu reminded.

"I see."

After Yuan Gai Suwen sent Cui Xu away, he hurried to Yuan Taizuo's study.

"What are you doing here?" Yuan Taizuo frowned slightly.

He still recognized Yuan Gai Suwen's ability, but Yuan Gai Suwen's heart was too big, and he did not consider the consequences of doing things.

After the last reprimand, Yuan Taizuo never met Yuan Gai Suwen, and Yuan Gai Suwen didn't come to see Yuan Taizuo either.

The father and son fell into a cold war.

Based on Yuan Taizuo's understanding of Yuan Gai Su Wen, Yuan Gai Su Wen would not give in so early.

"Father, I learned a very important piece of news from Cui Xu?" Yuan Gai Suwen said.

Yuan Taizuo naturally knew Cui Xu, and Yuan Gai Suwen had a good relationship with him, bringing a lot of profits to the family, Yuan Taizuo even praised him.

"Father, according to what Cui Xu said, Datang sent troops this time to destroy the Western Turks, and then launched troops from the grassland and Datang against me, Goguryeo, to destroy Goguryeo." Yuan Gai Suwen looked solemn. Said.

"It's impossible! Let's not talk about whether the Tang Dynasty can destroy the Western Turks. Even if it is destroyed, the Tang Dynasty will be seriously injured. It will not be relieved for a few years, and there is no ability to send troops again." Yuan Taizuo said without thinking .

Goguryeo, as a half-cultivating and half-pastoral country, knew the situation of Datang better than those nomads.

Datang crossed such a long front to attack the grassland. Among other things, the number of civilians needed was an astronomical number.

At the beginning, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, which finally led to the destruction of the country.

Although it has a certain relationship with the defeat of the army, the most important thing is that too many civilians were used.

Although the people who sign the signs don't need to spend money, they can eat from the court, and the people who are given a lot of signs will naturally delay the planting and collection of food, so that the court's tax revenue will be reduced.

Coupled with the excessive consumption of fighting, the foundation left by Yang Jian was directly exhausted.

In addition, soldiers who die in battle need to be compensated, otherwise who will work for you?

The Tang Dynasty was only established for more than ten years, and even if it recovers, its national power at this time cannot be compared to the Sui Dynasty when Yang Guang just succeeded to the throne.

Why did the Tang Dynasty still have the ability to use troops against Goguryeo after destroying the Western Turks?
"Father, this is what the Cui family said personally. How could it be false? When the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, didn't those aristocratic families pass on information to us?" Yuan Gai Suwen said.

Because Yang Guang is a king of subjugation, and Romance smears him, many people think that Yang Guang is a faint king.

If there is a list of foolish kings, many people will think that the first is King Zhou, and the second is Yang Guang.

In fact, Yang Guang is not as stupid as the world sees, but he was misled by the romance.

Yang Guang's reign was not long, but he did many things.

Take the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal as an example. Many people have the inherent concept that Yang Guang is lustful. In order to make it easier to find beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River, people dug the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

As Yang Guang, if he wanted a beautiful woman, a imperial decree, the women in the whole world were not up to him to choose, so why bother?

In fact, there are only a few dozen concubines of Yang Guang.

Among all the emperors in history, they are not even ranked.

The reason why Yang Guang's lustful image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is because the Tang Dynasty discredited him.

After all, Li Yuan rebelled, and the Li family won the world, so naturally they want to smear Yang Guang. The more stupid Yang Guang is, the more righteous the Li family will be.

In addition, Yang Guang is not a person who loves the people. Although the construction of the Grand Canal has been done for thousands of years, ordinary people don't care about the benefits. They know that Yang Guang forced them to dig the Grand Canal, causing many of their families to be ruined.

Coupled with years of wars, the people are overwhelmed and will naturally hate the emperor.

Datang's deliberate obscurity and the people's hatred for him led to Yang Guang's fatuous image, which deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Closer to home, digging the Grand Canal has many benefits.

First: The connection between the north and the south has been strengthened, and the imperial court's control over the local area has been strengthened.

Second: Let the north-south goods get a fast circulation.

Third: Let Jiangnan be developed.

Before the Grand Canal, the North has always been rich and the South poor.

With the Grand Canal, the south slowly surpassed the north.

It can be said that the people in the south after the Sui Dynasty were all grateful to Yang Guang.

In addition, Yang Guang also created the imperial examination.

You read that right, the imperial examination was created by Yang Guang.

After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he felt that the influence of the family was too great. He wanted to weaken the influence of the family and strengthen the imperial power. He carried out many reforms, and the imperial examination was one of them.

However, those reforms are all aimed at the family, so they will naturally offend the family.

When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo three times, the aristocratic family not only dragged Yang Guang back, but also revealed information about the army to Goguryeo.

Therefore, Yuan's family had experience of cooperating with those aristocratic families in Datang, and Yuan Gai Suwen felt that there was no need for Cui's family to lie to him about this matter.

"What do you think those aristocratic families leaked information to us for? It's just to use us to help them get rid of Yang Guang." Yuan Taizuo looked at the point very clearly.

If those aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty really wanted Goguryeo, why didn't they support Goguryeo's entry into the Central Plains during the civil strife in the Central Plains?

"Father, it doesn't matter whether they use us or not, as long as the information is true, wouldn't it be fine?" Yuan Gai Suwen didn't agree with Yuan Taizuo's words.

"That's what I said, but those aristocratic families are after all Tang's aristocratic families. How do you know that the information this time is not a complete set of joint efforts between the aristocratic families and the Tang royal family?" Yuan Taizuo said.

"Father, are you really not going to send troops?"

Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't listen to Yuan Taizuo's words at all, he was determined to send troops.

"Don't mention the matter of sending troops, it is impossible for me to send troops." Yuan Taizuo said coldly.

"I'm sorry father!" Yuan Gai Suwen said with a grim expression.

"What did you say?" Yuan Taizuo was taken aback.

Yuan Gai Suwen didn't speak, the hand in his sleeve tightly grasped a cold object, and before Yuan Taizuo could react, it stabbed into his chest.

Yuan Taizuo glanced at Yuan Gai Suwen in disbelief, then looked down at his chest, and said, "You...you...you..."

"Puff~"

In the end, Yuan Taizuo still didn't say what he wanted to say, and fell backwards.
