Chapter 91 Brothers

Almost when Yang Guang stepped back into the palace, a huge convoy filled the entire north gate of the capital. Hundreds of soldiers guarded a convoy and drove over. In the middle of the team was a gorgeous carriage, with a majestic middle-aged man wearing a golden helmet sitting. Above the team, flags were waving, a large Chinese character embroidered, surrounded by several four-clawed golden dragons with claws.

When the people who were marching on the road saw this team, they hurriedly avoided the four-clawed golden dragon, which was only used by the prince. Someone who understands it muttered: "The emperor is on his birthday, and the Han King is back."

Yes, it is indeed the carriage of King Yang Liang of Han. Now there are only five princes in the Sui Dynasty. King Han and King Shu are the brothers of the current emperor. The other three are princes. The eldest son Yang Yan is the King of Wei, the second son Yang Ge is the King of Zhao, and Yang Yu is the King of Chu three times. As for the prince, there are more than a dozen people, most of them are the emperor's cousins.

"The King of Han is back. I wonder if the King of Shu will come back?" Someone muttered again.

"The emperor's fiftieth birthday, who can't come back? A few days ago, weren't the King of Wei, Zhao, and Chu all came back?" Another person replied quickly.

"That's not necessarily. The emperor's 40th birthday king of Shu has not come back. I heard that the King of Shu has become an independent kingdom in Yizhou. He has been so arrogant and has been so arrogant. The emperor has issued several edicts but never replied. Isn't this King of Shu trying to rebel, right?"

"Shh." The other man was shocked and looked around quickly. He was relieved when he saw no one noticed him and complained: "You are looking for death. You dare to say this casually. Be careful of being heard by the secret guards and accusing you of slandering the prince."

The man was a little scared after saying this, but he became dissatisfied when he heard his companion say this: "What slandering the prince? Everyone knows that the King of Shu has not returned to the capital for more than ten years. If he had no intention of rebelling, then the emperor endured the relationship between Shu and his brotherhood until now. Now the emperor has celebrated his fifty birthday. If the King of Shu does not enter the capital, the emperor will have to take action. The King of Shu is used to the life of the local emperor and will definitely not give up the power in his hands. You wait and see, the King of Shu will definitely rebel."

"The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes. Forget it, I won't tell you." Another person was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly left.

The comments next to him naturally could not be heard in the ears of King Yang Liang of Han. He was looking at the tall walls of the capital in a daze, muttering to himself: "The Lone King is finally back."

Yang Liang came from the grassland. In recent years, Yang Liang had almost never left the grassland. Now the original Eastern Turkic grassland is becoming more and more important to the Sui Dynasty. Not only do they have to provide millions of horses and millions of cattle and sheep to the mainland every year, the most important thing is the mining of the Tianci Da copper mine. This copper mine produces more than 6,000 tons of refined copper every year. 80% of the copper used in the Sui Dynasty came from the Tianci copper mine. Even after the Tianci copper mine, the small copper mines with low grade and low storage in the south were sealed without exception.

Despite this, Yang Liang was not comfortable on the grassland. The Eastern Turks no longer existed. In order to avoid the edge of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Western Turks moved thousands of miles away. On the entire grassland, except for some small number of herders who had been ruled by the Great Sui Dynasty, criminals who were exiled in China, and people who moved a small number of people, the entire grassland was considered uninhabited thousands of miles.

This was a torment for Yang Liang, who was determined to gallop across the battlefield. He wanted to leave this ghost place on the grassland all the time, but he even asked the emperor for a few times, but the emperor did not allow it.

Yang Liang is not a fool. With Yang Guang's past lessons, he still doesn't know that his emperor brother is guarding against him. There are copper mines and horses on the grassland. These are wealth that is as rich as a country. There is a strong army. This army has followed Yang Liang for more than ten years to fight in the east and west, and has been deeply imprinted by the King of Han. Unfortunately, there are no iron tools, no food required by the warriors, no cloth, and no tea...

Once the court cut off the supply of this army, although the army would not starve to death, it would have no weapons to fight and clothes to keep warm. The Great Sui army, which was used to worry-free logistics, could not learn from the Turks, only drinking horse milk and eating mutton, would collapse on its own within a year. After Yang Liang had been on the grassland for seven or eight years, his original idea had long disappeared, and his army had almost changed. This time he returned to the capital, he wanted to apply to the emperor again, even if he wanted to be an ordinary general, rush to the front line, and no longer wanted to stand on the grassland without enemies.

"Prince, the emperor wants to be inside, you can go in." Mai Tiezhang's abrupt voice interrupted Yang Guang's memory.

Yang Guang let out a sigh, quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, and walked towards the hall door in front of him. He couldn't help but feel uneasy. He seemed to have returned to the scene when he was a child when he was afraid of his brother's blaming him when he made mistakes. Alas, it would be great if he could really go back to his childhood.

Walking into the hall gate, a tall and familiar back appeared in Yang Guang's eyes. Yang Guang's heart trembled and he knelt down; "Sinners meet the emperor, long live the emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Yang Yong turned around. This was the first time that the two brothers met in more than ten years. When they saw Yang Guang's old face, they couldn't help but be stunned. Yang Yong's appearance was more similar to Yang Jian, so he was tall, majestic and handsome, while Yang Guang was more similar to Dugu's family. He was very handsome when he was young, but Yang Guang's face was yellow and thin as skinny. On the surface, he seemed to be more than twenty years older than Yang Yong.

"Get up." Looking at Yang Guang's face at this moment, Yang Yong couldn't connect it with the dazzling face fourteen years ago, and a little turbulent in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Guang's etiquette was done in a proper manner.

After all, this was the first time the two met in more than ten years. They were relatively speechless for a while. After a while, Yang Yong asked, "Did you hate me in these years?"

"The guilty minister has lived to this day, and the emperor is magnanimous. The guilty minister is not ignorant of being stupid, so how dare he resent the emperor?"

"I dare not, don't you?"

"Damn it, I said the wrong thing. I have never hated the emperor."

Seeing Yang Guang kneeling down again with fear and fear, Yang Yong couldn't help but sigh. When he came to this world, Yang Guang was only eight years old and followed him like a small tail all day long. Yang Yong didn't have any feelings for Yang Guang. It was this feeling that Yang Yong did not kill Yang Guang, but just imprisoned him.

The emperor is the supreme person in the world, but he is alone. This lonely person is not a good feeling, because you have to be careful of not others, but the person you are closest to, brothers, wives, children...

"Get up, I've imprisoned you for more than ten years. It's okay if you hate me. I don't blame you."

Yang Guang didn't know whether the emperor's words were true or false, but he still did not dare to stand up: "I deserve the crime. I have reflected on it day and night over the years and never dared to resent the emperor at all."

"Reflection day and night, you have been drunk day and night in the past few years, how can you reflect day and night?"

Yang Yong couldn't help but scolded Yang Guang, even more afraid to look up. Seeing this scene, Yang Yong couldn't help but calmly, and his tone turned warm: "I asked you to get up and get up, why are you still staying on the ground?"

The first sentence is acceptable, and the next sentence is unknowingly re-examined again. After being emperor for more than ten years, Yang Yong has become accustomed to using a majestic tone. Yang Guang was shocked, but he did not dare to kneel down again.

"You have eaten the mangoes I sent to you by Mai Tie Stick?"

"When you say to the emperor, the guilty minister has eaten it. This fruit has a strong fragrance, but it is still a rare treasure in the world?"

"That's good, Amo, do you want to repeat freedom and govern a large area of ​​territory and eat such rare fruits every day?"

Yang Guang's face turned pale, thinking that Yang Yong was testing him, so he quickly shook his head firmly: "Go back to the emperor, I don't want to."

"I really don't want to, come over and see what this is?"

After saying that, he pulled Yang Guang up in front of the map he had just seen. This was a world map. Based on Yang Yong's previous memory, of course there were many mistakes in it, but the direction of several continents was not bad. Seeing this picture, Yang Guang was shocked and could not speak. For a long time, in his mind, the Great Sui Dynasty was the center of the world, with a territory of thousands of miles, and the rest of the place was just barren land. However, in this picture, the Great Sui Dynasty's territory was less than one-tenth of it, and it was not at the center of the world.

"This is……"

"Yes, this is a map of the whole world. The place where we live is a sphere. The Central Plains only occupies a small part of the place. You used to be an emperor, but you only value the Central Plains. What I value is the whole world. Now, my Great Sui civilization has the highest military strength in the whole world. As long as the Han people do not fight intra-fight, one day they will set foot on all places and make the whole world the territory of the Great Sui. If the Han people do not fight intra-fight, first of all, you and my brothers do not fight intra-fight. My children do not fight intra-fight. It is not an exaggeration to give deaths for your crimes. I forbid you and imprison you, and I will release you in the end. On the one hand, it is because I still think of brotherhood, and on the other hand, I don't want to give my children a precedent for brothers to fight in the same way."
