Seeing me go back and forth, the big general hurriedly guarded in front of the emperor.
Sui Yangdi, however, seemed to see through my mind, waved his hand gently to show that he was not so nervous, and then pointed to the river.
The river suddenly coagulated into a piece of floating ice the size of a desktop, floating in front of me without moving or swimming.
I stepped on the ice floe and stood up. I bowed to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty and said, "although you have been there for thousands of years, you still don't want to hurt any people, which I admire very much. But why do you have to make waves here? "
Sui Yangdi stood there proudly and said: "after the iron ox came into being, there was a big vortex under the Grand Canal, which could not be detected from the water. Once the boat passed by, it would inevitably be involved in it, resulting in personal death and overturning! I once wanted to repair the whirlpool, but in the end, I failed to repair it. So, I hide back to iron ox cultivation and order Ma Shumou to guard this section of water. Whenever there are wooden boats passing by, they must be stopped. "
"I didn't expect that, but you took it as a devil and bypassed Ma Shumou to seal iron ox. I'm afraid someone will die in the whirlpool, so I have to break the seal and meet you. "
It turned out that he was wrong with me!
The reason why he stayed here was to prevent someone from falling into the vortex and dying.
Qin said that he tore up all the water demons on and off the canal, presumably to maintain the safety and smoothness of the canal, and he didn't want any more people to be dragged into the water by water demons as substitutes.
Just when he was fighting with me, he fought hard to repair his wounds and received the twenty eight stars to kill evil array. He was also worried about the fleet parked in the distance and was afraid of hurting the innocent. Until the ghost dragon spits out the ghost fog and sees that it will hurt the people, then it moves again!
In this way, he is not only a evil ghost, but also a rare great good ghost emperor!
Hearing this, I couldn't help but give another salute: "it seems that I really blame you! You're not the evil spirit, but the patron saint of the canal. Why don't you dream to these boatman, or make a little miracle to announce the world, but use this extreme means? "
Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty sighed and looked at the Taotao River: "although I just woke up for more than a month, I have heard many stories about me. When it comes to Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, there is no doubt that he is a despot. How many people can believe me even if I have a dream to show my spirit? It's better to do good deeds in silence than to ask for a little bit of fame. "
"To build the Grand Canal is the greatest thing in my life. Fortunately, thousands of years later, it is still unobstructed. Naturally, I will not allow any villain, water devil, to do evil here. As long as I can keep the canal and watch it continue to run through the north and south, I will be satisfied! "
Although Yang Guang is very free and easy to say, I can also hear a trace of helplessness and loneliness from his tone.
Indeed, as he said, the first impression of the world when he mentioned Sui Yangdi was that he was immoral and a generation of despicable monarchs.
But where on earth did he pass out? I think a lot of people can't say it.
Some people say that he killed his father and usurped the throne, but he was a great filial son in history;
some people say that he was obscene and lecherous, but he only had two wives in his whole life;
some people say that he was fatuous, but the imperial examination he carried forward has given hope to the poor students all over the world, which is still in use today!
Some people say that he exploits the people, but he suppresses the landlords and powers. No monarch can reduce taxes. Of course, in order to build the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal and fight against Koguryo, the people of Sui Dynasty did suffer a lot.
However, in order to fight the Huns, the warlike Emperor Hanwu has been handed down from generation to generation, which is obviously unfair!
Even standing beside him, Ma Shumou, the famous general who supervised the construction of the Grand Canal, is also said to be the devil who loves to eat babies. Today, he is not a kind and honest general?
I have heard a saying before that the Tang Dynasty started as an anti thief. Li Shimin had nothing to do with it. He forced his father Li Yuan to abdicate and shot Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, all covered with stains. However, he was also an emperor who adored fame and wanted to live forever. So on the one hand, he pretended to be a modest and famous emperor, on the other hand, he let the historiographers extremely vilify all the enemies, including Sui Yangdi, so that he could be justified. Thus, he passed down from generation to generation and turned Sui Yangdi into a tyrant. At that time, I also scoffed at this view. Now it seems that this is the case. History is really written by the victors, and the Ming emperors and tyrants are all written by the historians.
"That's not all!" I thought about it and said, "in the history of China, the reputation of the Sui and Qin Dynasties is not very good. In the history books, it is said that the first emperor of Qin and the emperor of Sui Yang are tyrants of a generation. But throughout the thousands of years, there are only a few emperors with such talents as you. Even the widely praised Emperor Hanwu, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is just your happiness... "
"Your misfortune is that the dynasty is too short, and the subsequent dynasties are too long. No one is fair and just to continue writing the official history for you! On the contrary, writing your history is full of filthy words, deliberately blackening, which greatly damages your reputation. "
"But even so, there are still many people who understand the truth. Shortly after your death, someone wrote a poem saying, "the Sui Dynasty is the end of the Sui Dynasty. So far, thousands of miles have traveled through the river.". If there is no water temple or dragon boat, Yu's contribution is not much. ""Moreover, with the recent rise of Sinology, more and more people are beginning to face up to the history, and no longer treat you as a generation of despot like those who talk nonsense! For example, there is a TV play called hero of Sui and Tang Dynasties, which praises your achievements. If you are interested, I can show it to you tomorrow. " I said.
When Emperor Yangdi heard this, he not only looked at me for a moment, but trembled for a long time. Then he asked, "this is the truth? The world really compares my achievements with those of Dayu. "
I nodded my head and said, "the merits and demerits are judged by posterity. How can an anti thief write good and evil
"Well said!" "So it seems that I didn't wake up in vain for a thousand years," said the emperor
Emperor Sui Yangdi looked very happy and said to me, "the reason why I don't blame you is because you didn't know the truth in advance, and you came here to fight for the people. I'm here today to tell you the truth. Although you are not weak in cultivation, you want to test your true ability. If you really meet a vicious ghost, your cultivation is not enough. Although the ultimate Assassin's mace you put on your finger once it's released, uncle Ma and I will surely die, but you will also be seriously injured because of this, I'm afraid that you will not have a year and a half of bad cultivation. If you can find an alternative in a short time, it's best. If you can't, don't use it lightly until you have to. "
"And..." As Sui Yangdi said, he lowered his voice slightly and said, "I helped you just now. His accomplishments are not simple. Even if I was not hurt at all, when I just woke up, I would not be his opponent at the peak! As for whether he is an enemy or a friend, what is his mind? You should consider it. Well, don't do that. Whether true or not, thank you for your words just now. This is the most comfortable words I have heard for thousands of years. "
Finish saying, he arouses Ma Shumou, slowly toward the river heart sink.
"By the way, the man who sank the vortex yesterday was saved by me. You can find him in the lower reaches. He is very strong. It shouldn't matter. The vortex below will be repaired in a few days. Don't worry, the river is not smooth. I'm more anxious than anyone! "
"Thank you!" I bowed to the bottom of Sui Yangdi, who was sinking into the water.
With a click, the ice under my feet melted and I fell into the water.
"Come on, it's here!" As soon as I got into the water, I heard Pockmarked Li shouting.
Turn around a look, he and the old head of the boat, in front of me about five meters!
It seems that emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty just used a forbidden array to isolate them.
"Hurry up, sanmanzi may not be dead. Send someone down to look for him." I shouted at them.
Cao Gang was very happy when they heard that.
……
Sanmanzi found it. It's said that he was found by a village girl who raised ducks in the river bank. Later, he married the girl.
When he listened to me and explained the truth of emperor Yang's protection of the Grand Canal, he was very moved and simply built a temple on the Bank of the canal.
The temple is not big, but it is perfectly repaired, especially the two statues of Sui Yangdi and Ma Shumou. Later, as the boatman and merchants who often ran the canal channel also came to pray for peace, the incense in the temple also became more and more prosperous.
The small temple has always blessed the people on both sides of the river. No one has drowned in the Grand Canal since then.
