Emperor Yang Guang of Sui had a gloomy face and was very ugly. He couldn't listen to advice because he felt that he had ascended the throne at the age of 35 or 36. When he was in his sixties, he had more than twenty years left, and many great things were not enough to finish one thing and start another one.

Besides, the Great Sui Dynasty was so powerful that it was so difficult to build a river and a city that could shake a dynasty?

Yang Guang didn't believe that a country would start construction more projects. It was not that all the cities and rivers were built in various places, but that only the eastern capital Luoyang was built. It was to mow a canal and benefit the people. How could there be an anti-intention? Can the people not understand his good intentions?

Even if people are mobilized, the people in the east are used by people in Luoyang, and the people in Hebei, Shandong, and Jianghuai are used by people in the Yangtze River and Huai River, but they do not repeat them. What is the difficulty?

Can't the Sui Dynasty bear these expenses in a wealthy and powerful manner? Yang Guang snorted in his heart. He knew in his heart that taxes and treasury storage could not shake the foundation of the country at all, and it was a one-time and for all matters. Why not do it?

It was not that he didn't listen to advice, but that Yang Guang was too confident. These things were not decided by the hot-headedness. It was not that he had discussed with his advisers a few years ago, analyzing the pros and cons, the degree of difficulties, the benefits to the country, etc. At this time, someone opposed it, and he would not listen at all.

Gao Ying said something, but was interrupted by Yuanshou and did not let him continue to speak. This could be considered as protecting him in disguise.

After Yang Guang made the decision, he made a decision and waited for the court meeting three days before it was announced.

"I have not yet confirmed the officials who supervised the construction of the Grand Canal. Yang Guozhu, how are you in good health?" Yang Guang asked coldly.

Yang Su replied: "The old minister came in and recovered from the stubborn illness, which was mostly the secret illness of the war back then. Over the years, he had accumulated to a certain level. At this time, he could only rest at home and rest. I am afraid he could not share his worries for His Majesty."

Luo Zhaoyun moved when he heard this, thinking about historical records in his heart. It seemed that Yang Su was about to die in the second year of Dayao. It was June now, and there were not a few months left.

Yang Guang nodded, unable to see whether it was joy or sorrow, and said, "I will send you an imperial doctor to diagnose you. If you are really injured and sick, you don't have to go to court in the future. Please take care of yourself at home."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding the old minister!" Yang Su thanked her.

However, Yang Guang and Yang Su no longer had the same collusion and colourful relationship as before, but instead became somewhat estranged and cold.

The reason is not difficult to understand. Yang Su, as the Minister of the Sui Dynasty, was the first official of the Sui Dynasty, and was still above the prime minister. In addition, the Yang clan was powerful and had great achievements. Even the crown prince, King Qi and others dared not offend Yang Su when they saw Yang Su. They regarded themselves as a junior. Many officials kept visiting him, trying to be taken care of and accelerated promotion. They were simply powerful ministers.

During this year, many censors handed over a memorial to impeach Yang Su and sell official positions, which made Emperor Yang of Su a little annoyed.

Moreover, Yang Guang's confidence is now expanding and he wants to do big things and become a saint. However, when he sees Yang Su, he will think that when he was the King of Jin, he kept spending a lot of money to win over Yang Su in order to compete with the prince, and respect him and rely on him and other past events. This made Yang Guang feel uncomfortable, as if there was a thorn, and he could never cut off the shadow of the past without pulling it out.

A few months ago, he was in the palace and heard that Yang Su fainted due to illness in his house. For some reason, he was inexplicably excited.

"Everyone thinks, who is responsible for the main steward of the Grand Canal is more suitable?"

Yuwen Shu glanced at Pei Shiju, and the latter understood and bowed, "Your Majesty, General Yuwen Shu has both civil and military knowledge and high prestige. He is the most suitable candidate."

Yu Zhongwen also echoed: "I also believe that General Yuwen is suitable."

Su Wei, Guo Yan and others followed suit and Yuwen Shu also stood up and said, "If Your Majesty asks the old minister to be responsible, he will not let down the holy will."

The person Yang Guang trusted the most was Yuwen Shu. Seeing that he was so active, he laughed and said, "It's great, Yuwen Aiqing, I'll share my worries with me so actively."

"Thank you for your trust." Yu Wen Shu was a little excited. After all, digging a canal is a big project, a big project, and it will definitely be a big deal. And so it will affect the achievements of future generations. He will be the general manager. In the future Sui history, he will definitely have a strong one. The most important thing is that he can bring his two sons in to experience and contact local officials. It can be considered as going to the countryside to exercise.

"Luo Cheng, do you still have to participate this time?" Emperor Yang of Sui asked the young man sitting in the corner.

Luo Zhaoyun stood up and replied: "I do not plan to participate, but am planning to choose another place to serve the Great Sui Dynasty!"

In fact, Luo Zhaoyun had already thought about it and would never participate. Although the Grand Canal seemed to be a good thing for many years, Yang Guang was too hasty and would have millions of workers in the future who died in the digging of the canal. The people were full of grievances. Any officials involved, such as Ma Shumou, had a bad reputation and were resentful by the people.

Luo Zhaoyun didn't want to make his reputation bad, and everyone called for it. If such a big project was in the 21st century, the Three Gorges Xiaolangdi, high-speed rail, etc., it would not be a problem, because of mechanized operations, but if it was completed in the Sui Dynasty, it would be accelerating the completion of many people. The people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait could not bear it, and the resentment would naturally be released on the officials responsible for digging the canal and the monarch of the court.

In addition, he had a fair relationship with Yu Wen Shu, and he didn't get along well with Yu Wen Shu, so after learning that Yu Wen Shu was the chief manager, he didn't participate.

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui suspiciously said: "Luo Cheng, do you have any ideas? Just say it."

Luo Zhaoyun explained: "That's right. At the last court meeting, I heard that the border was restless. Tuyuhun and Tubo became stronger one after another. They repeatedly invaded the border of our Great Sui border, causing the people on the frontier to suffer and were often plundered. Moreover, Tuyuhun occupied the Qinghai Highlands and was an important position on the Silk Road to the Western Regions. If the countries in the Western Regions were allowed to trade with our Great Sui earlier and come to the Central Plains to worship Your Majesty, the threat of Tuyuhun would be eliminated. I was not talented and participated in the battle against the Turks and suppressed the Han King's Rebellion, and accumulated a little experience. Now I am close to the weak and eager to go to the frontier to experience it again, guard the border city for the Great Sui border, and let the foreign bandits who invaded our Great Sui border taste the bitter fruit and dare not disturb him. I will also take measures against the Western Regions in the future and make arrangements in advance!"

After hearing this, Yang Guang was stunned at first, then his eyes were lit up, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and laughed: "Little Luo Cheng, but he is so heroic, and he knows my intentions. I have long taken a fancy to Tuyuhun's nail, but I have never made any effort. It's okay, I will send you as a general, go to the frontier to experience first, and rectify the border guards. After two or three years, I will open a canal and stabilize the south of the Yangtze River. I will whip north and gallop across the desert and the Western Regions." (To be continued.)
