Chapter 103

"Crown Prince Yang Yong!"

Crown Prince Yang Yong had long been stunned, and when he heard this, he shuddered: "Your son is here!"

"Watch this rebellious son for me. If he has any other movements, or acts improperly, you can execute him first and report later."

Yang Jian's eyes were filled with murderous intent,

"I would rather have no descendants than allow the Great Sui country to be destroyed in the hands of such a wicked son."

"Your... your son obeys the decree!"

Yang Yong hurriedly agreed, feeling both fearful and lucky in his heart, looking at Yang Guang who had fainted on the ground, his eyes complex.

This "family ethics drama" of "father whipping son" was clearly and thoroughly seen by the ten thousand dynasties through the sky screen.

"Puff hahaha!"

Liu Bang was the first one who couldn't hold back, laughing until he was beating his chest and stomping his feet,

"Beat him, beat him hard! Such a spendthrift, it's not unjust to beat him to death!"

"Emperor Wen of Sui, well done, destroying relatives for righteousness, ruthless enough!"

"But is twenty whips too few? If you ask me, you should have whipped him 999 times."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "Yang Jian is still a sensible person, knowing the son better than the father, stopping losses in time."

"It's just... I don't know if it's too late."

He thought of his own incompetent son, Hu Hai, and his eyes darkened.

Liu Che shook his head: "If a son is not taught, it is the father's fault. Yang Guang is certainly guilty, but Yang Jian failed to see through his disguise early on, and also has responsibility."

"However, being able to wake up at this time and severely punish him is better than raising a tiger that causes trouble and harms the country and the people."

Li Shimin watched Yang Jian beating Yang Guang, and felt a thousand emotions in his heart.

A warning from the past is a teacher for the future.

He said solemnly to Empress Zhangsun and his sons beside him:

"Those who govern must be benevolent, but also decisive. For children, they need even stricter discipline, and must not be deceived by appearances, causing great disasters."

Wei Zheng agreed: "Your Majesty is wise. Yang Guang's disaster began with disguise and was completed by indulgence. If he could have been restrained early, how could it have come to this?"

Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips: "Good guy, the biological father is really ruthless, but he beat him well. Such a disaster, keeping him is also annoying."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved: "Right, that's how you should beat him! Beat him to death! Save him from harming the country and the people!"

"Emperor Wen of Sui did this well. If I had such a son, I would also beat him to death!"

Zhu Di subconsciously shrank his neck.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "Every family has its own difficulties, and the imperial family is no exception. Failing to teach children is a disaster that destroys the country."

【Summary: Yang Guang interpreted what "haste makes waste" means with his life.

His achievements are carved in the long river of history, but his atrocities are also forever nailed to the pillar of shame.】

The sky screen gave the final summary.

In the picture, the mighty Grand Canal still flows, and the imperial examination hall is passed down from generation to generation.

And Yang Guang's luxurious dragon boats and the smoke of the expedition turned into the dust of history.

"Haste makes waste..."

Li Shimin chewed on this sentence and deeply agreed.

He looked at Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, and said solemnly: "Gentlemen, I will encourage you all."

"Governing the country should have long-term plans, but also cherish the people's strength, proceed slowly, and never follow Yang Guang's old wisdom."

"Your subjects will keep Your Majesty's teachings in mind!"

At the same time, another parallel universe, during the Daye reign.

Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang, who had already ascended the throne and thought he had established unprecedented achievements, was in the newly built Luoyang Palace, admiring the rare treasures collected from all over the place.

He imagined the prosperous scene after the Grand Canal was connected, and the grand plan of conquering Goguryeo and reaching the four seas in the future.

The sky screen appeared. When he saw his name on the "List of Muddled Emperors, Eighth Place," he was stunned for a moment, then furious.

"Absurd! Simply absurd!"

Yang Guang stood up abruptly and smashed the glass cup in his hand,

"I opened the canal, connected the north and south, and it benefits the ages!"

"I created the imperial examination, broke the gate valves, and employed people according to their talents!"

"I conquered Goguryeo three times, raised my national prestige, and expanded my territory!"

"My achievements are unparalleled in history! You ignorant children of later generations, how dare you slander me as a muddled emperor?!"

"And eighth place? I think the immortal who made this list is blind!"

He became more and more angry as he spoke, pointing at the sky screen and cursing,

"Say I am eager for quick success? If I don't conscript laborers, how can I get things done quickly? Those who accomplish great things don't care about trifles!"

"Say I am extravagant? I possess the four seas, what's wrong with enjoying a little?"

"Say I am aggressive? Goguryeo is a tiny country that repeatedly violated my heavenly prestige. I conquered it, which is justified!"

"Say I perished? Fart! My Great Sui is as solid as gold, for ten thousand generations!"

"Yuwen Huaji? A mere slave, how dare he rebel against me?!"

"And what 'Infrastructure Madman'? It's simply an insult! I am an Emperor Through the Ages! I am a holy monarch who surpasses the First Emperor and Emperor Wu!"

"You monster screen, turning black and white, confusing right and wrong, your heart is punishable! I..."

Just as Yang Guang was cursing with spit flying, feeling incomparably aggrieved and righteous.

Boom-Crack—

Crack—

This time, it was not one, but two consecutive silver thunderbolts, thicker and more dazzling than before, like two violent silver dragons, fiercely striking down from the sky screen!

One accurately struck the magnificent dragon throne behind Yang Guang, inlaid with countless gems.

Bang!

With a deafening loud noise, the entire dragon throne was instantly blown to pieces!

Gold and silver debris, gem fragments, and precious wood flew everywhere. The concubines and eunuchs sitting nearby were overturned by the air wave, screaming and rolling on the ground.

Another one struck directly on the gorgeous caisson ceiling of the palace roof, depicting the sun, moon, and stars.

Boom!

The sturdy palace roof was forcibly split open with a huge hole.

At this moment, it happened to be raining outside. Broken tiles, wooden beams, and dust mixed with rainwater poured down,

Just pouring on Yang Guang, who was terrified and embarrassed because of the dragon throne explosion.

Yang Guang stood frozen on the spot, his crown crooked, his dragon robe wet, his face covered in dust, wood chips, and rainwater. His anger and roaring were all struck back into his stomach by these two thunderbolts, leaving only boundless fear and confusion.

He looked at the pile of dragon throne wreckage behind him, then looked up at the big hole in the roof, cold rainwater mixed with dust pouring into his neck, making him shiver.

The entire Luoyang Palace was silent.

Only the sound of rain and the suppressed fearful breathing of the crowd.

The cold voice of the sky screen continued without fluctuation.

【Next, we are about to rank the seventh place on the list of muddled emperors】

Yang Guang's legs went soft, and he slowly sat down in the mud, dust, and ruins.

This time, he didn't even have the strength to collapse.

Looking at the eye-piercing "Eighth Place" on the sky screen, and looking at the mess around him and the fearful eyes of the crowd, an unprecedented panic and chill gripped his heart.

Could it be... did I really do something wrong?

Yang Guang fell into an abyss of confusion and self-doubt.

And the heavens and all worlds, after witnessing the "justice and impartiality" of the heavenly thunder and the "fancy ways of dying" of the muddled emperors on the list, the atmosphere became a bit weird.

"Tsk tsk, this time it's even more ruthless, the dragon throne was smashed, and the roof was lifted."

Liu Bang smacked his lips, with an expression of watching a show,

"It seems the more fiercely you curse, the more ruthlessly you get struck. This Yang Guang is tougher than the previous two."

Ying Zheng said indifferently: "Stubborn and unrepentant, bringing humiliation upon oneself."

Liu Che: "Heaven's disasters can be avoided; self-inflicted disasters cannot be lived."

Li Shimin sighed: "Unrepentant, pitiful, lamentable, and even more hateful."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "Struck well, those who refuse to admit their mistakes should be struck a few more times to let them wake up!"
