Chapter 109 Strong Man

In Jiankang City, it turned out that there was a jingling sound from the location of the Chenchao Palace. Countless craftsmen and soldiers were busy, and there were a large number of people watching around. Thick wood was piled up on the side. Countless huge blue bricks were removed from the walls of the palace and quickly pulled away by a cart.

That's right, it was demolishing, not Jian. After learning that Jiankang was conquered and Chen Shubao was captured, Yang Jian was very happy and praised the frontline soldiers, but gave an order that made Yang Yong depressed, demolishing the Chen Dynasty palace and opening it into wasteland for the people to grow vegetables. It is said that this would remove Jiankang's royal aura and make the Sui Dynasty permanent.

It was not someone else who came up with this idea. It was Guangyuan, the true man of Tongmiao who had been favored in the past six months. If Yang Yong was in the capital, he would definitely denounce Guangyuan. If Jiankang really had any royal aura, Nanchen would not have perished so quickly.

However, Yang Yong could not fly back to Daxing City to debate with Guangyuan. He had to execute the imperial order. Moreover, he had to change his ideas. It was basically useless to stay here. If it was demolished to farm for the people, it would have a role to play. In this way, the palace, which was built with countless wealth and wealth in Jiangnan, could only disappear little by little with the efforts of craftsmen and the Sui army.

However, Yang Yong still used the idea of ​​using waste, tried to keep the bricks and tiles and wood intact as intact as possible, and bought them for the people of Jiankang at a low price. As for some taboo things, the wood can only be burned, and the stones must be removed with a knife. Fortunately, most of the buildings in China are made of wood, so the dragon chaises, dragon beds, dragon pillars and other items brought out from the palace can only be poured into the raging fire and burned them completely. Every item that was put into the fire must make Yang Yong feel heartbroken. If these things are left for the future, they don’t know how much they should be worth, but later Yang Yong simply stopped on the scene.

By the way, it is easy to destroy and build it hard to build. With the efforts of tens of thousands of Sui soldiers and craftsmen, this palace, built in less than a month, became a flat land. It is April now. If you try harder, you can catch up with the planting of the previous season of land, gardens, rockery, pavilions, towers, and temples this year, all of which have become empty, making people sigh at the changes in current affairs.

It has to be said that the demolition of the palace brought great shock to the people of Jiankang. Many people saw the disappearing palace, and their eyes were filled with confusion and reluctance. The building materials that the Sui army dismantled from the palace were also very good, but in the end, they even sold hundreds of thousands of coins.

In order to win over the morale of the army, most of the money obtained from the capture of Jiankang was spent. The hundreds of thousands of guan was considered an unexpected surprise, but Yang Yong did not stay and still spent it. He spent all the hundreds of thousands of guan to help the victims and repair the road, which made the people of Jiankang feel a little more favorable to the prince, but only made Xue Daoheng, Wang Shao and others secretly wonder that the prince was really so honest.

This result made Yang Guang very depressed. As the King of Jin, his expenses were undoubtedly huge. He always felt a little overpaid by his salary and production of the farm. However, Wang Shao was very old-fashioned. Although Wang Shao had loosened his control over him after Yang Guang got married, it was impossible to get a large amount of extra money. Originally, Yang Guang thought that this trip to Jiangnan should get a large sum of money to make up for the deficit of the King of Jin's mansion, but as the prince's brother, he, had no money to take, so he, the King of Jin, had to follow suit. However, Wang Shao, Xue Daoheng and other people from the King of Jin's mansion were rewarded by Yang Yong.

"Brother, this has become a vegetable field. What's the best thing to look at? Let's go hunting outside." Yang Guang stood beside Yang Yong, staring at Yang Yong's former palace and curled his lips.

Yang Guang only went in this palace once, and praised the carved beams, painted buildings, rockery, ponds, pavilions and towers inside. However, since the first time, Yang Yong sealed the palace and now he has even demolished it. Yang Guang sighed in his heart. Now that this place has become an open space, there is nothing to see.

Speaking of which, Yang Guang was pitiful. When he first became King of Jin and went to work in the local area, due to Yang Jian's restrictions, he even had a rare meal of meat. He could only eat some vegetables and fruits every day. Later, Wang Shao's control was a little loosened and he could only rely on himself to hunt and eat meat.

"Hunting? OK, then go hunting." Yang Yong refused to say anything. After more than half a year of getting along, the relationship between the two brothers has become much closer than when they first met. They have gone hunting a lot. At present, there is nothing wrong, hunting is also a kind of entertainment.

When they heard that the prince and the King of Jin were going out of the city to hunt, the guards around them immediately became busy, leading dogs and eagles to explore the way, Jiankang was no better than Daxing. The Great Sui place had just been conquered, and no one knew whether anyone outside the city wanted to attack the Prince and Prince of the Great Sui. For a moment, teams of horses drove out of the city first.

When they were about to stop, it was almost half an hour before Yang Yong and Yang Guang were about to leave the city. Not long after they left the city gate, a cavalry from far behind chased him: "Report, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, King Jin, and King Qin have arrived."

"The third brother has arrived. Is he entering the city now?" The place where the two of them were going to hunt was Nanshan, but the Yangtze River Ferry was north of Jiankang, one south and one north, so Yang Yong asked this question.

"When you go back to the two high men, the King of Qin has not yet entered the city, but he probably has already gotten off the ship and is now on his way to Jiankang."

Yang Jun headed south on a big boat, but it was inconvenient to communicate on the water. Only when he was about to arrive in Jiankang, Yang Jun sent a fast boat to inform Jiankang first. After Gao Ying knew that Yang Jun had arrived at the ferry, he hurriedly sent someone to recover Yang Yong and Yang Guang.

Yang Yong and Yang Guang looked at each other. Since Yang Jun had arrived, the hunting naturally could not be beaten. Yang Yong turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go, let's welcome the third brother."

Yang Jun was only eleven years old when he was named King of Qin. He was still a child at that time. Now seven years have passed. Yang Jun only returned to the capital during the Chinese New Year. The two brothers met in a hurry. Yang Guang and Yang Jun met even fewer times. After all, not every New Year, they would return to the capital at the same time. Now, Yang Yong and Yang Jun have not met for two years, and Yang Guang and Yang Jun have not met for more than three years.

Along the way, Yang Yong was wondering what Yang Jun would look like. Yang Yong naturally heard many things about this third brother. When he was fifteen years old, Yang Jun married Cui. However, Yang Jun and Cui did not have a good relationship after marriage. Yang Jun was a romantic person and had many concubines before he got married. However, Cui was quite jealous. Relying on the support of Cui from Qinghe, he just became the princess of Qin and wanted to drive away all the women of Yang Jun's previous life. Of course, Yang Jun disagreed, so that the entire palace made a small fuss every three days and a big fuss every five days.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Yang Jun was very respectful to Buddhism and Taoism. The dignified prince actually asked the emperor to make him a monk. Yang Jian scolded him before giving up. This time, Yang Jun, as the second marshal, supported more than 100,000 troops, was blocked by Chen Huiji by 30,000 troops. Because Yang Jun did not want to suffer too much casualties. If Yang Su had not defeated Chen's army first, Yang Yong captured Jiankang and sent troops to provide assistance, maybe Yang Jun's army was still confronting Chen's army on the Yangtze River.

Yang Yong really didn't know what to say about this brother, but he was most at ease with him. At least Yang Jun was responsible for his duty and did not know how to play the throne, so Yang Yong intended to let Yang Jun come to serve as the Jiangnan Grand Tour.

On the north gate official road of Jiankang City, two dust smoke rose up less than a few miles apart. Then the two dust smoke became closer and closer, and finally stopped, hovered over the sky, and dissipated.

"Big brother! Second brother!"

"Third brother! Third brother!"

The three of them rode together and looked at each other, while hundreds of guards behind them quickly retreated for a while. The three high men had not seen each other for several years, and no one dared to disturb them easily.

Yang Yong jumped off the horse first, and Yang Guang and Yang Jun also dismounted. Yang Yong slapped Yang Jun's shoulder with a heavy palm. Yang Jun grew taller than two years ago. However, what flashed before Yang Yong's eyes was the scene of Yang Jun following behind him like a small tail. After a few years, the little boy had grown into a handsome boy, and had already started a family, marrying and having children.

Yang Guang also followed suit and slapped Yang Jun on the other side of the shoulder. Yang Jun grinned and said with a wry smile: "Brother, second brother, I haven't seen each other for a few years, so there is no need to be such a big gift, right?"

"Ha, this is to try whether your strength has improved. If you can't stand a palm, how can you become the commander who commands more than 100,000 troops?"

"That's right, third brother, second brother also wants to try you. I heard that you believe in Buddhism and don't even kill your child. As a royal child, how can this be? Don't forget that although I, the Great Sui Dynasty, may not be able to peek at the world. The eldest brother is the prince and will take over the world in the future. This battle is not possible without our brothers."

Yang Yong looked at Yang Guang in surprise. He didn't know whether Yang Guang's true feelings were deliberately confessing his feelings, but Yang Jun pronounced the Buddhist chant and said, "Big brother, second brother, we brother, long time no see, so don't say much about fighting and killing."

Yang Yong and Yang Guang both frowned. Although Yang Yong was not happy, he met Yang Jun again after a long separation. He didn't say much to make the atmosphere stiff. He turned to look at the people behind Yang Jun. Seeing that they were all strong and had muscles bulging, he couldn't help but praise: "The third brother's guard is good, he is really a tiger."

When Yang Yong praised the guard behind him, Yang Jun was not happy, but just waved to everyone: "Come here, see the prince and the king of Jin!"

Everyone had already dismounted. Hearing this, he quickly threw down the reins and bowed to Yang Yong and Yang Guang: "See Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Jin!"

"No gift!" Yang Yong's eyes fell on a man like a black tower in the middle. Yang Jun's guards had been selected, and they were all tall and big. This man seemed to stand out among these big men, one head taller than everyone. Yang Yong roughly measured it. According to the algorithm of later generations, this man was at least 1.95 meters, and even reached two meters. The largest piece of Sui army-style armor was worn on him, but it seemed to be shorter, and his arm muscles were bulging. Judging from the person's appearance, he might have been over 40 years old, but he did not look old at all, making people feel that he had endless strength.

Yang Yong couldn't help but ask: "Third brother, who is this person? He is so majestic."

Yang Jun's face showed disgust: "Brother, this person does not know etiquette and has no knowledge. He has no other strengths except for his strength. What did he ask him for?"

Yang Jun did not hide his words. The man obviously heard it, and there was a hint of resentment on his face, but he did not dare to refute it. He just lowered his head angrily. Yang Yong immediately thought several times in his mind. Such a strong man must have joined Yang Jun's guard recently, otherwise he would have received news. At this time, such a strong man in the north would be hard to find, and it would be even more interesting if he was a southerner.

"Third brother, such a mighty man should not be despised. You think you have no knowledge. What if you give it to me?"

Yang Jun said openly: "If you want it, even if you take it, this person relied on his strength and was unruly. He has been my guard for more than ten days and has injured seven or eight people. I am afraid that he will hit my elder brother."

When Yang Yong heard this, he found that this person had only been with Yang Jun for more than ten days. After calculating the days, he basically became Yang Jun's guard a day or two before Yang Jun came to Jiankang. It was probably because he was interested in him, Wu Yong was recommended to Yang Jun, but Yang Jun was not happy. Yang Yong was even more happy: "It's okay, just ask him to come."

"Come here, the prince wants to see you." Yang Jun shouted to the strong man. He didn't even want to call the strong man's name, maybe he had forgotten his name at all.
