I'm The Emperor of All-Heavens

Chapter 160

"Second brother, you will always be my good second brother!"

On the dock, Yang Jun, with red eyes, said goodbye to Gu Cheng.

"The land of Shu is a land of abundance, and Chengdu is even more a treasure. The third brother has a good trip here!"

Gu Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "remember your original heart!"

No one could have imagined that Yang Jun, like a little sheep, would become an extravagant and licentious king in a few years. He overhauled the palace, lent money to collect interest, exploited the people, had excellent women and hundreds of concubines. In the end, he was not only exempted from the fief by Yang Jian, but also poisoned and killed by the jealous princess. He only lived 30 years.

In fact, not only Yang Jun, but also Yang Jian's five sons are extremely luxurious people. He and Dugu Jialuo saved their whole life, just like spending money on a loser's son.

Now, in the eyes of Jiangnan aristocratic family, the crown prince undoubtedly began to enjoy great success. He actually wanted to build a canal, directly point out all localities, allocate river sections, strictly control, and often copy his family and destroy his family. His means were extremely cruel.

Thousands of years ago, with the courage of Qin Shihuang, they only dug a Lingqu to connect the Yangtze River and the Pearl River and strengthen control over the South Vietnam region. Up to now, they are all important transportation routes, making the economy greatly prosperous.

The idea of this artificial canal greatly inspired future rulers, but why didn't anyone build it?

Because we all know that this is a matter that wastes people and money and is likely to shake the foundation of the country.

Benefit is good for thousands of years, but the rulers are not stupid. Who wants to commit the crime in the present age?

But Gu Cheng knows that the time is ripe.

For a long time in ancient times, the economic center of China has been in the Yellow River Basin, and the economy of the north is much better than that of the south.

However, during the Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties, the chaos of more than 400 years had a serious impact on the north. At the same time, the rise of the economy and culture of the South led to the decline of military force, which was far less than the multi-ethnic mixture in the north, the prevalence of military style and the strength of the army.

Therefore, it is inevitable to unify the world from north to south, but after reunification, the North needs the material supply of the south.

For example, in order to prevent the Turkic Koguryo from invading the border every year, a large number of troops are stationed at the border. It is not enough for these troops to only rely on the cultivation of farmland. They must be supplied with food and salaries from the Yangtze River, Huaihe River and the Central Plains. The journey is so far away that it is really difficult to rely on carriages alone.

At this time, what is more suitable than the canal water transportation through the north and south?

To put it bluntly, at this time, the north and south of the world are one culture and one military. If the culture and military match, the national strength of the great Sui Dynasty will inevitably climb to the peak and be invincible in the world!

At the peak of the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, all countries came to Korea, which was actually born on this basis.

Of course, our predecessors planted trees and our descendants enjoyed the cool. It seems that our predecessors have come to no good end.

Qin built the Great Wall for the benefit of the future, and the second died. Sui built the canal for the benefit of the future, and the second died

If Gu Cheng chooses to be a conservative emperor, as long as he succeeds to the throne, with today's strong generals in the great Sui Dynasty, his military strength is at its peak, going north to destroy Turks and destroy Koguryo is no problem, but he is more broad-minded than anyone. How can he deliberately avoid the problem of the Grand Canal?

"Jiangnan aristocratic family is a cancer. It's just time to clean it up when the Jiangnan canal is built!"

Gu Chengyi stands on the riverbank with cold eyes.

If the northern aristocratic family is still in its prime, the southern aristocratic family is really rotten, completely immersed in the glory of the past, and its roots are completely rotten.

However, they still have delusions that the royal family should rely on them to deal with the Guanlong group in the north.

In this case, Gu Cheng used a bloody knife to tell them what is called a man-made knife, and I am fish!

The rebellion in Jiangnan has just ended. This is a good time!

"Your Highness! The great virtuous monk is willing to go to Jiangdu!"

With the rapid change of Jiangdu and the change of forces in the south of the Yangtze River, in the following March, Gu Chengdu refined in the prince's residence to understand the general trend of heaven and earth and the essence of the combination of Humanities and martial arts.

On this day, he closed his eyes and listened to the flute sound of Bixiu's heart. He was enjoying himself. The dusty fan Qinghui came in and told him with a happy face.

She had already sent back a letter. It was said that the great virtue Saint monk was idle and wild crane. She didn't want to come here. Now the other party has finally changed her mind.

"Well, you've worked hard. Go and have a rest!"

Gu Cheng opened his eyes and smiled.

"Not tired!"

Fan Qinghui was flattered and looked forward to the tunnel: "the four holy monks are on the road. I'm willing to open a forum in Jiangdu and give lectures!"

How does Buddhism flourish?

Eminent monks opened the forum and said that only after a grand meeting can they expand their influence and let the people worship Buddhism and escape into Buddhism.

Otherwise, guangdaxing temple will soon fall if no one starts to worship and lacks faith.

"Is the abbot of jingnian Zen hall empty? How can he be called without him at such a grand event!"

Gu Cheng waved his big hand: "do it more lively. Let those aristocratic families who complain all day know that only when good fruits are achieved in this life can they be rewarded in the afterlife!"

"Yes!"

Fan Qinghui was stunned. He dared not say that Kong Zheng wanted to practice closed mouth meditation. He refuted the prince's interest and understood what he asked. He immediately said, "the Buddha will not disappoint his highness!"

As a result, the river is bustling. Monks can be seen everywhere in the street. They are all the essence of Buddhism, preaching on the ground and spitting lotus flowers.

Of course, it is not just Buddhist people who come here.

If Buddhism flourishes, it is related to the whole Jianghu. In addition, the prince's three strategies for determining martial arts and the readiness of the demon gate, the river surges and gathers in all directions for a time.

"It's a pity that the people suffer from the prosperous weather!"

Ouyang Xiyi walked in the street and sighed.

He has a powerful appearance and ragged clothes. He is called an Yimin of Huangshan. He has become famous for many years. He is the same generation as Ning dodge.

"Will your Highness the prince really prosper Buddhism?"

Behind him was a handsome and elegant young man named Wang Tong. His eyes flashed and showed meditation.

Later, he became a great Confucian. He imitated the spring and Autumn Annals, wrote the yuan Sutra, and the Analects of Confucius into the zhongshuo. He understood the general principles, understood the changes of power, and played the twelve strategies of peace to Yang Jian. He put forward the theory of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and taught many talents. It is said that Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were also his disciples. Even Li Jing had worshipped under the door, but just like Yang Jian's birth, There are different opinions. I don't know whether it's true or false.

However, Wang Tong has a grandson, almost everyone knows, Wang Bo, the author of preface to Tengwang Pavilion.

Wang Tong and Ouyang Xiyi have become friends. They are walking around the world. When they know that there is a Buddhist dharma Association in Jiangdu, they come immediately.

"If you can see the prince this time and offer what you have learned, you will have a chance to ascend to heaven step by step. What should you think of to enter the prince's house?"

After visiting Jiangdu, Ouyang Xiyi went to drink. Wang Tong looked at the heavily guarded Prince's residence in a small imperial city from a distance.

Learn the art of literature and martial arts, goods with the emperor's family, the emperor does not need it, sell with the knowledge of the family, the knowledge of the family does not need it, and uphold justice and chivalry.

It can be seen that a chivalrous man like Ouyang Xiyi is really a helpless act of retreating to second place and then second place. How can he be buried?

Wang Tong is a very patient man. He keeps watch outside the prince's house all day.

Towards the evening, he was ready to return to the inn. When he came back tomorrow, he saw a group of monks coming in the distance. After the announcement, the attendants of the prince's house appeared to meet him.

"The great virtuous monk of Dashi temple in Chengdu? He has never asked about the world, but he has also come! I have been instructed and should pay a visit!"

Wang Tong fell on the old monk, and his eyes lit up.

He once visited Dashi temple, sat down with the monks and talked about the Dharma, which was praised by the great virtuous monks. Since he has a good relationship, why not take advantage of it?

But just as Wang Tong was walking there, his eyes fell on the great virtuous monk and suddenly he was stunned.

He was smart since childhood, saw people very clearly, and had a sense of insight directly into his heart. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the holy monk was no longer broad-minded to spend the world, but depressed in his heart, and there was a creepy evil

Wang Tong's face changed and his figure flashed into the lane.
