Yang Su was critically ill, and Yang Ji didn't feel much panic, because he had seen Yang Su several times during his vacation, and he had already expected this day to come.
With Yang Su's body and bones over the years, building the Luoyang defensive circle has exhausted the last of his energy, and it is impossible for him to be qualified as the commander-in-chief of the subsequent military reforms. This is also the fundamental reason why he handed over the executive command to Yu Wenshu, but Yu Wenshu later was eager for quick success, which caused turmoil among the soldiers in the capital.
Yang Su had no choice but to come to the stage from behind the scenes, and relied on his personal prestige to calm the unrest in the capital, so that subsequent reforms could be carried out successfully. When his tense heartstrings relaxed, it was only a matter of time before he fell ill.
For the imperial court, it was better for Yang Su to fall ill in Luoyang than in Guanzhong. If he fell ill in Guanzhong, it might cause some turmoil to the troops left behind in Guanzhong who continued to deepen reforms. Now that he fell ill in Luoyang, the best he could do was Just a little influence.
Four days ago, Yang Ji also met Yang Su at the Yue Kingdom Palace, but after many days, Yang Su was much more serious than last time.
Last time, Yang Su could sit on the bed and read a book, but this time, she couldn't do anything and lay back on the bed with her eyes half-closed.
"Yue Gong, I'm here!" Yang Guang walked closer and looked at the pale and bloodless Yang Su, feeling a little confused.
When Yang Su saw the arrival of Yang Guang and Yang Ji, his eyes suddenly lit up. He tried to calm down his breath, and tremblingly ordered Yang Yue and Yang Xuangan who followed them in: "Help me sit up."
Yang Yue and Yang Xuangan stepped forward and helped Yang Su sit down from the bed. Yang Zheng, who was standing beside him, quickly put the quilt behind Yang Su and let him lie half on the bed.
After finishing their work, the three of them bowed and left, leaving the space to Yang Guang, Yang Su and Yang Ji.
"Sage, please forgive me for not being able to perform the full ceremony." Lying like this, Yang Su seemed to have some strength, and his words were no longer choppy.
Yang Guang sighed slightly, stepped forward and sat on the brocade stool attached to the bed, held Yang Su's bony palm, and said, "Your body is the most important thing, so don't worry about some common etiquette!"
"Please take good care of yourself, Mr. Yue." Yang Ji also said.
"Sage, King Wei, I know my body." Yang Su sighed: "Last night, I passed out. Doctor Chao said that after I passed this point, it seems that I still have three to five days to live."
Yang Su had a very open mind about life and death. He was not sad because his life was about to end. He cheered up and said to the gloomy Yang Guang: "Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. I have been a executioner all my life. I have already done this." That's enough... I saw the Great Sui Dynasty flourishing when I was about to die, there is nothing to regret... Why should the saint behave like a little daughter? First of all, I am about to go to the late emperor to tell him that the saint is wise and the Great Sui Dynasty is strong. The saint should be happy for me. That’s right!”
"Yue Gong, we have been getting along for decades, and we love each other. I deeply feel that Yue Gong has devoted his whole life for me and this world. How can I not be sad?" Yang Guang smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "I only wish that Yue Gong Get well as soon as possible, if you are not there to encourage me, who else can help me shock the world?"
"Old minister, I can't do it!" Yang Su gasped and laughed: "Sage, King Wei once said that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach. The veteran believes this. After all, human life is limited. In this world, young people need to come. The old ministers have been in high positions for so many years, and it’s long past time to make way for young people.”
Yang Guang said softly: "Master Yue, don't do this."
"Hey!" Yang Su sighed: "This day will come eventually, and no one can avoid it. The late emperor went first, and at the end of last year, Wei Chong and other old people were no longer here. I'm just worried that the famous generals of the Sui Dynasty will wither and there will be no successors in the various departments of the court. , no one can shoulder the responsibility. But fortunately, there are many new and famous generals in our dynasty, and King Wei is the best among them, so the most critical army will not fall into the dilemma of lack of support. "
Yang Guang pondered for a while and then said: "Yue Gong, Xuangan has the courage of an overlord. Under your guidance, he has become proficient in the art of war and resourceful. I plan to let him abandon literature and join the military. What do you think?"
"Thank you for the saint's attention, but the old minister's son and old minister know it!" Yang Su shook his head gently and sighed: "Although Xuangan has the courage of an overlord and has read several military books, he is impetuous, impulsive, and even more deadly. Yes, once something big happens, he will be confused and difficult to make decisions. This is also the fundamental reason why the old minister asked him to join politics. If he is a general, he will not be lucky to have a large army and a great Sui Dynasty."
Hearing this, Yang Ji couldn't help but take a deep look at Yang Su, and said in his heart that he knows his son better than his father. This is true at all. Yang Su really saw through the essence of Yang Xuangan. Yang Xuangan in history did this again and again because he had no overall view of the situation. He missed the opportunity to conquer the world again and again, and finally ended up defeated and killed.
If he followed Li Mi's plan and used part of his army to block Yang Guang outside Linyu Pass (Shanhai Pass), and then sent the army to take over the people of Hebei who hated Yang Guang to the bone, then he would be the second Yuan Shao; once Yang Guang Guang died in Liaodong, and the precarious Sui Dynasty was bound to be in chaos. Yang Xuangan could also sit back and watch the chaos among the princes in the world, but he could take the opportunity to rectify the land of Hebei. Even if he could not win the world in the end, he would not be defeated so quickly. .
The three of them chatted for a while. Yang Guang saw that Yang Su was too depressed to talk more, so he took Yang Ji back.
. . . . .
Yang Su's illness can only be treated but cannot be cured. In the past two years, he has not listened to the doctor's instructions and has worked hard every day. Now all kinds of illnesses are coming to him. Chao Yuanfang, Zhen Quan, Zhen Liyan, Xu Yinzong, Zhang Baobao and other good doctors who had been stationed at the Yue Kingdom Palace for a long time were powerless and could only prescribe powerful medicines to extend Yang Su's life.
On the fourth day, Yang Su, who was too ill to eat or move, suddenly improved. Yang Su knew that he was coming back to his former glory, so he quickly summoned his younger brothers Yang Yue and Yang Shen; About), Yang Xuanzhang, Yang Wanshuo, Yang Minxing, and Yang Jishan are preparing to explain their funeral arrangements.
In Yang Su's bedroom, all direct descendants of the Yang family were present.
Yang Su's face showed an abnormally rosy color, and he said to everyone: "I am seriously ill and in danger. I can no longer protect you. You have to walk the next road on your own."
"Although Xuangan likes reading, is good at riding and shooting, and is brave enough for all men, his character flaws mean that he does not have the ability to create new things, but his ability to maintain success is more than enough. Fortunately, my Yang family is extremely glorious, and I We have the same roots as the royal family, so we only need to manage our branch well in the future."
What Yang Su meant by this was that after his death, he could just let his eldest son Yang Xuangan inherit the position of head of their clan, instead of competing for the head of the Hongnong Yang clan. After all, the royal family "is also" a branch of the Hongnong Yang clan. If his descendant becomes the head of the Yang family in Hongnong, where will the royal family be placed?
This consideration was also the fundamental reason why Yang Su did not become the clan leader. Precisely because he understood the priorities and did not overwhelm the royal family in the Yang family of Hongnong, he got along very well with Yang Jian and Yang Guang.
After Yang Su said this, he couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at his relatives in the room.
"Brother, we will do our best to assist Xuangan in running the family." Yang Yue expressed his position on behalf of everyone.
Yang Xuangan burst into tears: "Aye, the child will definitely live up to your high expectations."
When everyone heard this, they also shed tears and couldn't even speak.
"Xuangan stays, you guys will go out first." Yang Su nodded with satisfaction and asked all the family members to retreat, leaving only the eldest son Yang Xuangan.
He said to his son: "Xuangan, your uncles Yang Yue and Yang Shen are talented in the world. If I, a great minister, had not overpowered them, their achievements would be no less than mine. You must make good use of them in the future. You can’t trust just one person, you need to understand how to decentralize powers and check and balance.”
"Among your younger brothers, Xuanzong and Xuanzhui are the most capable. However, Xuanzong is arrogant and reckless, while Xuanzhui is greedy and greedy. While I am alive, I can still control them. After I die, if they do not obey you, what will happen to them?" If anything goes against the family, you and your uncle can relieve them of their power to manage affairs."
"Wan Shuo, Min Xing, and Ji Shan are my concubines. They are destined not to be the head of the family. They will not argue with you. You can control the three of them. The three of them are talented and have no fatal flaws in their temperament. As long as If you treat each other well and keep a bowl of water flat, they will be your Yang Yue and Yang Shen from now on."
"Unvirtuous wives will ruin the family at first, and destroy the family at worst. And your mother-in-law and your wife are both daughters of the Zheng family in Xingyang. They are short-sighted and violent. Whatever good they have, they always go to their natal family. After I am gone, they will I will definitely help the Zheng family. If I continue to provide wealth to the Zheng family, the children in the family will definitely be dissatisfied, causing the family to be separated. But what I am more worried about is that they will use my reputation and connections as the Yang family to give them to the Zheng family. The children of the Zheng family are seeking power, and if this is the case, my political opponents will definitely use this against you."
"But for her, one is your mother and the other is your wife. You are caught between family and family relationships, and it is difficult for you to be a human being. So after my death, you immediately established a presbytery, with your uncle and brother as the elders, and they Take charge of the family law; if your mother or your wife makes a mistake, the Presbyterian Council will punish you according to the family law. In this way, you will not get the bad reputation of treating your mother harshly, but you can also take care of the harmony of the family, and maintain the good relationship between the Yang and Zheng families. "
Yang Xuangan nodded and said: "My child, please remember Aye's kind words!"
Yang Su took his son's hand and said, "Xuangan, I have a few more important things to explain. You must remember them carefully."
"Please clarify, Aye."
"The saint intends to break the officialdom structure in which clans occupy official positions. Among them, the Shiguanlong nobles who hold military power are a serious concern for him. Now, the imperial court has moved the capital to Luoyang and jumped out of Guanzhong, and the military reform has achieved good results. The saint next , it is very likely to increase efforts to eliminate the backbone of the Guanlong nobles in the army, so you must not get too close to the Guanlong nobles."
At this point, Yang Su had exhausted the last of his energy. He glanced at his son with an extremely worried look, then slowly closed his eyes, and held Yang Xuangan's withered hand and dropped it weakly. .
A generation of military gods passed away suddenly.
"Aye!" Yang Xuangan burst into tears.
When everyone outside heard the crying and howling, their expressions changed greatly, and they rushed into the room and entered the palace.
Yang Yue and Yang Shen rushed to the front of the collapse and burst into tears when they saw that Yang Su had passed away.
Although Yang Su's disciples were well prepared, when they saw that their father had truly passed away, they felt that the sky was falling. They all fell to their knees and cried loudly.
