"Emperor Yang of Sui fought against Goguryeo three times?" Li Zhan looked at Yang Qiaoer in surprise and asked, "Isn't it because Goguryeo is presumptuous?"

Yang Qiaoer leaned against Li Zhan's arms with a smile and said, "How could a presumptuous person conquer Goguryeo three times? The Sui Dynasty was a special dynasty. After more than three hundred years of opposition between the Five Barbarians and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty finally unified the Central Plains again. The emerging and rising Sui Dynasty made the Turks on the grassland and the tribes in the Western Regions very scared. It can be said to be an unprecedentedly powerful empire.

However, such a powerful dynasty was unable to conquer Goguryeo three times. Why did Emperor Yang of Sui work so tirelessly to conquer Goguryeo, and even repeatedly defeated and fought again and again? In fact, Emperor Yang of Sui's purpose was not Goguryeo's territory at all. Only his real purpose could witness the superb skills and mental skills of an emperor."

"Imperial mind skills?" Li Zhan looked at Yang Qiaoer in confusion.

"That's right, it's the emperor's mind." Yang Qiaoer smiled slightly and continued to narrate gently: "In the eighth year of Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui began to attack Goguryeo on the grounds that King Goguryeo did not come to visit him. In fact, Emperor Yang of Sui had been preparing for the expedition in the seventh year of Daye. At that time, Emperor Yang of Sui ordered the world's army to gather in Zhuo County, Hebei, and actually concentrated millions of troops. However, the first expedition failed because of Emperor Yang of Sui's tactics.

However, Emperor Yang of Sui did not give up. In the ninth year of Daye, Emperor Yang of Sui once again led the army to fight, but returned because of Yang Xuangan's rebellion and died in the middle of the journey.

In the tenth year of Daye, Emperor Yang of Sui once again conscripted the world's army and carried out the third conquest. However, on the way, the Sui soldiers fled all the way. King Goryeo sent another envoy to accuse him of crimes, and Emperor Yang of Sui then dismissed his troops.

However, the three conquests of Goguryeo caused the Sui Dynasty to lose hundreds of thousands of elite troops, and countless dead people and lost materials, which triggered a serious peasant uprising, which Emperor Yang of Sui had not expected.

For Emperor Yang of Sui, conquering Goguryeo was just a means, not an end at all. In fact, the real purpose of Emperor Yang of Sui was to weaken the strength of the major families of the Central Plains by conquering Goguryeo three times.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the aristocratic system has gradually formed and even been continuously strengthened, which has a strong momentum over imperial power. The "king and horse sharing the world" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a clear portrayal.

During the Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasty, the aristocratic families represented by the Guanlong nobles even controlled most of the economic and political forces in Guanzhong, and the Sui Dynasty royal family itself also came from the Hongnong Yang family.

The Shandong nobles east of Wushan are represented by the Li family in Longxi, Li family in Zhaojun, Cui family in Boling, Cui family in Qinghe, Lu family in Fanyang, Zheng family in Xingyang, and Wang family in Taiyuan. These families control the officialdom, go deep into the economy, intermarry each other, and have mixed forces.

Emperor Yang of Sui was a very ambitious person. In order to consolidate the imperial power, he established the imperial examination system, hoping to attract poor families to join the government to fight against the aristocratic families. However, the system was not perfect at that time and had not yet played the desired role. Therefore, Emperor Yang of Sui weakened the major families by conquering Goguryeo.

For Emperor Yang of Sui, the emperor personally conquered Goguryeo, not only was he able to temporarily collect elite troops from the world for his own use, but also built several large granaries to further concentrate military and financial power.

At the same time, the major families must cooperate with Emperor Yang of Sui to send troops. The aristocratic families' government troops and family economy serve the dynasty and are constantly weakened by Emperor Yang of Sui. This has to be said that Emperor Yang of Sui was so profound that the "imperial mind" was so profound. However, what was unexpected was that the three campaigns of Goguryeo not only did not serve to weaken the aristocratic families, but instead caused serious social unrest and caused the powerful Sui Dynasty to perish quickly."

Speaking of this, Yang Qiaoer in Li Zhan's arms actually burst into tears, which made Li Zhan feel a little surprised: "Why are you crying?"

He quickly wiped his tears, but Yang Qiaoer didn't say anything and kissed Li Zhan directly on his lips. Because a tear was still on his lips, Li Zhan tasted a slight salty and sweet taste.

Just today, a seed of exclusion of aristocratic families was planted in Li Zhan's heart. At this time, Li Zhan still didn't know that he would have a long struggle in the five surnames and seven hopes of the Tang Dynasty.

The next day, the Li Zhan family's ice-selling business encountered a fatal blow. The Cui family was like crazy. I don't know how many people they hired, and they all filled all the villages outside Chang'an City.

The ice from Li Zhan’s family is no longer sold.

To be honest, Li Zhan became more and more disgusted with the Cui family's behavior, but at this time Li Zhan could not choose to confront him head-on, because confrontation head-on is asking for death.

At this time, the Cui family was a giant for Li Zhan. Li Zhan is not even qualified to confront the Cui family head-on.

Moreover, Li Zhan not only has to worry about the Cui family, but also about the royal family. If Li Zhan is attacked from both sides, it will be even more troublesome. Once reborn, Li Zhan doesn't want to die like this, so a real man can bend and stretch.

Just after the Li family's ice industry was completely blocked, Li Zhan announced the closure of the Li family's ice industry.

This news made Cui Shouzheng of the Cui family very happy, and he was almost ready to fly. However, Cui Shouzheng would never have thought that because of his own affairs, the Cui family ushered in a terrible blow, that is, the crazy revenge of Prince Li Chengqian, just on the evening of the day when the Li family Bingye announced the end.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian surrounded the Royal Ice Industry and directly opposed the Royal Ice Industry's guards. This incident was really a big deal. Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and two prime ministers went to the Royal Ice Industry to persuade Li Chengqian.

But I can't persuade him, not only can't persuade him.

Li Chengqian also questioned directly in front of the two prime ministers.

"Fang Xiang, Wei Xiang, is it easy for our Li family to bully? This ice-making technique is obviously a technique that my royal family promised not to be passed on, but the Cui family took it away if they wanted to.

Then he would squeeze out the person who offered this ice-making technique to death.

Please ask the two prime ministers to tell the orphan, what is this? Is it to turn my Tang Dynasty Li family into a family of villains without trust and righteousness?

Could it be that the Cui family in Qinghe is going to ride above my Li family in the Tang Dynasty?

No matter how long, my Li family in the Tang Dynasty is the destiny. Who dares to humiliate my Li family in the Tang Dynasty? I, Li Chengqian, will never give up. Someone came to attack the Ice Industry Office and arrested the Cui official who leaked the royal secrets.

If there is any obstacle, kill without mercy!”

"Abide by the order!" Hou Guangliang obeyed, then pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Kill me!"

A total of 300 elite soldiers from the Eastern Palace rushed into the Royal Ice Industry Institute. Fortunately, there was no resistance. In less than a cup of tea, Li Chengqian found the Cui family official who leaked the ice making technique.

Seeing the official of the Cui family, Li Chengqian shouted loudly: "Cui Jue is here to ask you, is it your leaked royal ice making technique?"

"Mrs. Princess. Princess. I am from the Cui family in Qinghe!" Cui Jue, who was kneeling on the ground, took out his gold medal for saving his life in fear.

However, Li Chengqian shouted without paying attention: "No matter who you are from, I will ask you, but your leaked royal ice making technique?"

"I accidentally leaked this!" Cui Jue was extremely scared at this time.

"It was leaked accidentally!" Li Chengqian said with a ruthless face: "You are really careless. If you accidentally leak my royal secret to your own Cui family.

This accident really made me look at it with admiration, but do you know what the criminal law that leaked royal secrets is. If you don’t know, I will tell you that the three words will be killed and the decision will be made!”
