On the long embankment, two women were walking towards Yang Tong under the leadership of the guards. The woman in Hanfu was tall and elegant, like a fairy in the sky. This was Yuan Ziyan, the daughter of Yuan Da's fool.

Looking at Yuan Ziyan coming from afar, Yang Tong was greatly surprised. Wasn't this little magician playing tricks with Yuan Tiangang in Liaowang Village?

Thinking of Yuan Tiangang, I couldn't help but look at the dashing girl next to Yuan Ziyan. This girl's clothes were very similar to those of the Miao people. At first glance, she was about the same age as Yang Qinfang, and her beauty was considered good, although she was not as good as the concubine in the palace.

She has the level of a charming girl, but she has the unique charm of a girl from an ethnic minority. Her big eyes seem to catch people's hearts, and her curly hair falls on her shoulders, making her look even more charming!

Under the hem of the skirt, a pair of pretty calves are exposed, making people can't help but take a few more glances.

Without thinking, Yang Tong guessed that she was Lan Xueer whom Yuan Tiangang asked King Liao to marry.

"The humble minister Yuan Ziyan comes to see His Majesty." Just as Yang Tong was thinking about it, Yuan Ziyan came forward and saluted.

Yang Tong was stunned for a moment by her title, and then he remembered what kind of official title he had given her, and quickly said: "...no courtesy."

"Who is this?" Although Yang Tong guessed it, he still asked in vain. If it wasn't him, it would be a joke.

As Yang Tongzhi expected, Yuan Ziyan said: "Back to the Holy Emperor, this is Lan Xue'er, the princess of Liao Ren..."

"Your Majesty, are you Yang Tong, the God of War in the Sui Dynasty?" Lan Xueer looked at Yang Tong with burning eyes, like a hunter staring at his prey.

This holy lord?

Everyone around Yang Tong was speechless. Emotional still doesn't understand the meaning of "Holy Lord".

"Xue'er, didn't you say so? Your Majesty is your Majesty, there is no one like this or that." Yuan Ziyan complained.

Lan Xueer replied: "Isn't there also one in Chengdu?"

Yuan Ziyan sighed: "That's fake, okay?"

"Okay, okay! She can do whatever she wants." Yang Tong saw that this woman was relatively simple and did not know the twists and turns of the Central Plains very well. Yuan Ziyan was probably tormented by her along the way, otherwise she would not have shown her temper.

Looks like he has no love left in his life.

"As commanded."

"Where is Yuan Dashen?"

"Huh? Your Majesty is referring to my father?"

"yes."

"He didn't dare to come!" Yuan Ziyan sold Yuan Tiangang out without politeness.

"I won't do anything to him!" Yang Tong looked at Lan Xueer, who couldn't help but look at him, and couldn't help but laugh: "Have you not seen enough?"

"I heard someone say that you are not only the emperor, but you are also the first war god in the Sui Dynasty and the most powerful warrior in the Sui Dynasty. It doesn't look like you." Lan Xueer had a look of doubt on her face.

"My reputation as the number one God of War is not earned by me, but by a group of Gods of War under me. Even my men defeated them, so everyone says I am the Number One God of War."

"Then why should they listen to you?"

"Because I am the number one God of War!" Yang Tong said to Yang Qinfang, who looked extremely ugly: "Take Miss Lan Xueer to play around."

"Here!" Yang Qinfang's heart was filled with anger, as if I was specially responsible for taking care of children.

Lan Xueer walked away without saying a word.

"..." Everyone.

Hello everyone, our official account will find gold and red envelopes every day. You can get it by paying attention. This is the last benefit at the end of the year. Please seize the opportunity. Official account [Book Friends Base Camp]

Yuan Ziyan explained on her behalf: "Sister Xueer, I don't know much about the etiquette of the Central Plains."

"I know!" Yang Tong understood it very well. Shui Tianji was also like this and was used to it.

Asked: "Aren't you in Yizhou?"

"Go back to your Majesty!" Yuan Ziyan said awkwardly: "Wei Chen, I am bringing sister Xue'er to recognize and recognize our relatives..."

"I accept this kiss."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yuan Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Yang Tong would not admit it. If he refused, the humiliated officials would definitely surrender to Li Yuan and fight to the death with the Sui Dynasty.

"..." He sent a beautiful girl thousands of miles away and wanted to thank her. This made Yang Tong feel strange. He didn't want to dwell on the matter and asked, "What else is there?"

Yuan Ziyan said: "Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng to be a lobbyist in an attempt to reconcile with King Liao and make them loyal to the puppet Tang Dynasty. However, King Liao did not agree and just went in circles with them. Also, the weather this year is very abnormal, and my father is sure there will be heavy rains.

, please make preparations early, Your Majesty."

"This construction site is prepared for heavy rains." Yang Tong raised his head and looked at the clear sky, and said suddenly: "You are a little god, do you think this heavy rain will fall or not?"

"Your Majesty, I am a human being, not a god; so I think it should be done!" Yuan Ziyan was speechless, but this smart woman quickly found an excuse for herself from Yang Tong's words.

You have double insurance for yourself in one go.

"Whether it's down or not, this construction site will continue." Yang Tong looked at her deeply and didn't care about her cleverness.

"Your Majesty, we came by water and found that Ziyang, Longshan, Luchuan, Fuling and other counties in Yizhou are all suffering from drought this year!"

Yuan Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yang Tong didn't care about anything. When she met Yang Tong before, her aura of dominating the world was not obvious. She explained to him that there was no pressure, but now she clearly feels that even a look can make her

She lost the courage to look at him.

Not only that, she found that her clothes were soaked with sweat, as if she had experienced a thrilling battle!

The heart was also beating uncontrollably.

The Taoist heart that had been cultivated for many years was completely defeated and leaked thousands of miles away.

This is

The power of an emperor?

"The Chengdu Plain is also dry?" Yang Tong was greatly surprised. Speaking of which, the Chengdu Plain also had droughts in the pre-Qin period, and it was quite serious. At that time, droughts and floods were the most common and major natural disasters in the Chengdu Plain. The Sichuan Basin is surrounded by

There are mountains. The terrain of the Chengdu Plain slopes from northwest to southeast, and the rivers have large elevation differences. Take the Minjiang River as an example. During the rainy season, it will flood, and the entire Chengdu Plain becomes a vast ocean. But in the dry season, due to the surface rivers

The runoff is too small and there are few ditches, so droughts will occur. This is the reason why the primitive tribes of ancient Shu and the ancient Shu Kingdom migrated frequently. When Dujiangyan is repaired, the most direct benefit is that the floods will disappear. After the Han Dynasty and the Shu Han Dynasty, Chengdu

With the construction of river weirs and ditches, droughts have disappeared. Since then, the Chengdu Plain has been almost free of droughts and floods. But now, Yuan Ziyan actually said that the Chengdu Plain has also experienced drought, which is really incredible. However,

Yang Tong also knew that Yuan Ziyan would not joke about such a thing.

"It stands to reason that counties with early droughts such as Ziyang and Longshan should not belong to the Chengdu Plain, right?"

Yuan Ziyan is becoming less and less confident. She doesn't know that when she becomes a minister, she is already in a humble position where she is not treated. What's more, the other party is still the emperor who controls the world?

"As long as it is Li Yuan's territory."

Yang Tong laughed. The reason why the Sui Dynasty did not directly attack Yizhou was because the Li family and his son had not yet fought among themselves. At this time, the Puppet Tang Dynasty was quite popular among the people. Even if they captured Yizhou, they would probably have to face "an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood."

The resistance of the Sui Dynasty soldiers and the people of Yizhou was not what Yang Tong wanted. In order to turn the internal struggle between the Li family and his son from bright to dark, Yang Tong "escaped" from Daxing to Luoyang.

When marching into Yizhou, in addition to recovering it and annihilating the Li family, they also wanted to welcome the people who could not bear the exploitation of the Li family and create a foundation for the Sui Dynasty to rule and prosper Yizhou.

When I took the boat south, I was thinking about how to make the Li family's internal strife more intense. I never expected that a severe drought would occur in Yizhou, which has almost no droughts. Is this a so-called God-given opportunity?

Li Yuan has been frantically expanding his army after the New Year. Although he did not have ten houses and nine empty houses, he also plundered all the young people in the Chengdu Plain. Excluding Li Shimin's army and Li Xiaogong's southern expedition soldiers, he got another 150,000 people, which was good.

With Zhou's little wealth and raising so many soldiers, he is simply digging his own grave.

In order to support the army, we can only increase taxes on the people who suffered from the disaster. This will really make people hungry and complain, which means that the Great Sui Dynasty is not far away from the great unification in form and in people's hearts.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard from the south of the long embankment. Yang Tong followed the sound and saw Li Chun and a young man dismounting from a distance.

Yuan Ziyan was much more discerning than Lan Xueer. When she saw officials waiting at a distance, she saluted Yang Tong and said: "The Holy One has important matters to attend to, so I will leave first."

Yang Tong nodded and asked people to send Yuan Ziyan away.

"The humble minister Li Chun comes to see His Majesty."

"The humble minister Yan Liben comes to see your Majesty."

Li Chun and Yan Liben came forward to salute.

"Thank you!" Yang Tong looked at Yan Liben and found that he was about the same age as himself. He was handsome, elegant, and personable, but his skin was dark. He had obviously been traveling around for many years, and he had the characteristics of a person from the Ministry of Industry.

"Yan Aiqing!" Yang Tong didn't know what kind of official Yan Liben was, so he could only call him "Aiqing" which he always hated: "I heard that your brother is also good at calligraphy and painting in addition to crafts and construction projects. Can you give me some paintings?"

The famous and priceless "Picture of Emperors of the Past Dynasties" is the work of Yan Liben. Another of his masterpieces, "Picture of the Walking Chariot", records Lu Dongzan's meeting with Li Shimin. The world is now in a mess.

Lu Dongzan has long since died, and this painting must have ended without any illness.

However, Yan Liben said: "The painting of the Holy One is as lifelike as a real person, and it is difficult for a humble minister to defeat him."

"My sketches focus on writing and have no artistic conception. They are incomparable to paintings. That's it. I've decided to give you a few sketches someday." Yang Tong knows his own business, so he can sketch with his own hand.

It's just deceiving people. When it comes to painting, the female literary youths in the palace are better than me.

Even Li Xiuning, who is new to sketching, has the tendency to catch up from behind.

Yan Liben said happily: "If your Majesty doesn't dislike it, I should do my best to paint a few paintings."

He is a relatively pure literati. Although he is versatile, he is not proficient in the ways of literati. He is also very tired of studying and making progress. He has always admired the straightforward style of action of Yang Tong and other generals. Although it seems vulgar, it is actually

He was very pure, and he liked painting very much. If Yang Tong hadn't been the emperor, he would have asked for advice. At this time, he was very happy to see that the emperor who was the most human-like painter actually liked his paintings.

But little did he know that Yang Tong was so enthusiastic because he was thinking about his paintings?

"By the way, does your brother Yan Lide have any good works recently?" Yang Tong was a little worried about Shu.

"Back to the Holy Spirit, my brother recently drew a "Picture of Ancient Emperors", which depicts the twelve emperors from the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, namely Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Zhao of Han, Guangwu of Han, Emperor Wen of Wei, and Emperor Wu.
