Chapter 55: The sky curtain ends and turns into a light curtain
Sui Dynasty, 9th year of Kaihuang
Because he died for the sake of the second emperor, maybe the crown prince Yang Yong could still be saved? As Tianmu said, there is no need for big ambitions, just a plain life...
Yang Jian told Empress Dugu about his idea. Empress Dugu hesitated for a moment and said, "The prince is too straightforward, really..."
I see, you still don’t like the prince.
Yang Jian left angrily, determined to train Yang Yong well, and if that didn't work, then train his grandson!
After Yang Su was imprisoned, some of his ministers mentioned Yang Su's past contributions to the Sui Dynasty and said that he was deceived by the King of Jin. They requested to spare his life to reassure the ministers.
Yang Jian then exiled Yang Su to Qianzhou, where he was not allowed to leave for the rest of his life.
Gao Jiong reported: "In the old territory from the south bank of the Yangtze River to Quanzhou and Lingnan, the nobles and local tyrants have rebelled everywhere."
This is the rebellion brought forward, because Tianmu's spoilers have given more people with evil intentions the courage to resist.
So Yang Jian ordered Pang Huang and others to quell the rebellion. At the same time, in order to determine whether Crown Prince Yang Yong was suitable to be the heir to the throne, he asked him to participate in the suppression of the rebellion.
Gao Jiong offered advice: "Those in Lingnan who have not yet attached themselves to the emperor should all follow Lady Xian as their leader."
"Now that the Chen Dynasty has fallen, and Madam Xian is loyal to the country and understands the overall situation, we can send someone to comfort her."
Yang Jian appointed Wei Guang, Duke of Xiangyang, to be in charge of Lingnan affairs.
At this time, Li Yuan's family, who had traveled all the way to Daxing City, were still feeling very anxious.
Yang Jian treated the Duke of Tang's Mansion as usual, but allowed his family to live permanently in Daxing City.

Tang Dynasty, the first year of Zhenguan
Li Jing brought Jie Li Khan to Chang'an City.
The city of Chang'an was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. The residents of Chang'an cheered as they watched Jie Li Khan in the prison car.
Li Shimin held a banquet for Li Jing in the Weiyang Palace and invited all the ministers. When he saw Jie Li Khan, all his dissatisfaction was swept away and he allowed Jie Li Khan to enter the Weiyang Palace.
Emperor Taishang Li Yuan was also in the Weiyang Palace. He was depressed when he saw Jie Li Khan, so he joked, "I've always heard that the Hu people are good at dancing. I wonder if the Khan can dance to entertain us?"
This is a bit rude.
Jie Li Khan was angry, but he had no choice but to dance.
Everyone looked at the invincible Jie Li Khan in Mobei and actually started dancing, jumping up and down with joy and cheering in unison.
"I have seen it today, and the rumors are true."
"Hahaha"
Everyone started to cheer and the atmosphere reached its climax. Li Shimin was also happy as he felt that the Tang Dynasty was one step closer to prosperity.
Xue Rengui from the southern ancestral branch of the Xue family in Hedong was also received by Li Shimin. Although the Tang Dynasty was not short of talents, no one would complain about having too many talents.
Li Shimin wanted to reward him, but Xue Rengui refused: "No merit, no reward. It is not right for me to be rewarded without any merit. I just want to join the army and follow the general to conquer the four directions."
These words made Li Shimin and his ministers look at this young man with new eyes. Although he was young, he was neither humble nor arrogant. No wonder Tianmu liked him so much.
Li Shimin agreed with Xue Rengui's words, and seeing that his family was poor, he still gave him some money and food.
He said, "Since you are going to join the army, how can you let your mother suffer with you?"
Xue Rengui thanked him.
The Tang Dynasty was ambitious, reforming bad policies internally and actively expanding its territory externally.

Song Dynasty, Qiande Year 5
After all, they were brothers, and decades of friendship could not be severed. Moreover, Zhao Guangyi spoke sincerely and said, "I only wish to be a commoner."
After a long silence, Zhao Kuangyin agreed and deposed him from the throne.
She allowed him to enter the palace to mourn for his deceased parents, so that he could live under her care.
Zhao Guangmei took the initiative to say to Zhao Kuangyin: "My nephew is young and needs someone to take care of him. I am willing to raise him up." The nephew he was talking about was Zhao Dechong, the eldest son of Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangmei liked this nephew who would plead for him in the future very much. Thinking that Zhao Guangyi was imprisoned in disguise, for the sake of his nephew's life, he decided to take care of him himself.
Zhao Kuangyin did not want to go too far, so he agreed to Zhao Guangmei's request. He also began to train his eldest son well on weekdays. Zhao Kuangyin tried to avoid the future mentioned by Tianmu and began to maintain his health.
"The Southern Han can start now. We will destroy the Southern Tang and pacify Wuyue, and then go to the Northern Han. At this point, the Central Plains will be unified, and when the time is right, we will go north to recover Yanyun."
Zhao Kuangyin informed his ministers of this idea and began to prepare for war. In order to avoid the recurrence of the post-war rebellion of Hou Shu, he ordered his soldiers not to disturb the people if they surrendered.
Pan Mei, Yin Chongke, Wang Jixun and others were the main commanders, each leading an army to attack Southern Han.

Ming Dynasty Hongwu 26th year
"Things are really bad in the Ming Dynasty."
After the curtain closed, Zhu Yuanzhang left after saying this, leaving the ministers and princes looking at each other in bewilderment. What did this mean?
Zhu Di was very smart. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not immediately depose Zhu Yunwen from the position of Crown Prince, so he pretended not to care at all.
He followed the princes to his hometown in Fengyang to work. This time, not only more than 20 brothers came with him, but also his nephew Zhu Yunwen.
The princes present did not have a good face for Zhu Yunwen. The brat hadn't even grown all his hair yet, and he dared to reduce the power of the vassal! Now that you have come to Fengyang, the emperor is far away, so who can you complain to?
There were also several factions among the princes, one led by Qin Wang Zhu Chong, one led by Jin Wang Zhu Gang, and one led by Yan Wang Zhu Di. Of course, among these three factions, more people believed in Zhu Di.
Nonsense, he is already Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Although I cannot try to please him obviously now, I still have to leave a way out. But I must let Brother Prince of Yan know that my heart is always with him.
After driving away those guys, Zhu Yuanzhang began to rethink the drawbacks of the policies he had formulated.
Zhu Yuanzhang did find evidence of Lan Yu's corruption, but perhaps because he was now cautious, he did not punish him severely. Lan Yu's title of Duke of Liang was abolished and he was placed under house arrest in his mansion, and all his adopted sons who were corrupt were imprisoned.
Conduct subject examinations to select talents.
We need real talents with practical knowledge!

The 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty
The Qing Dynasty was the peak of imperial power. Although the people knew that this was not good, they did not know how to change it.
During this period, some thinkers were inspired and secretly spread their own doctrines.
Some people take advantage of the proliferation of novels and begin to hope to influence everyone through the content of novels.
There are also many people with lofty ideals who are determined to awaken the masses and influence them subtly among the people.
"The world is yours."
Emperor Kangxi Xuanye was very conflicted about the sky curtain. On the one hand, he wanted to know what would happen in the future, but on the other hand, he was afraid of the thoughts that the sky curtain would bring...
----
A month later, the canopy was not opened again.
Another month later, still nothing.
Will some of these concerns disappear? Or will they remain silent for several years like before?
Some were happy because the damn sky curtain was finally gone!
After almost another month, the sky finally disappeared.
Ying Zheng and others were a little disappointed. Although it was only the fourth time, the information revealed by the sky curtain was very useful.
The Qing Dynasty hoped that Tianmu would disappear, as some of its ideas were not conducive to fooling the people and ruling the country.
And when March was full, everyone was afraid. What was the ball of light in front of them?
