Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

King Yang Guang of Jin had many evidences against Yan Rong, the governor of Qingzhou, and was preparing to go to the Yushi Mansion to impeach him. However, as soon as he arrived at the Yushi Mansion, he learned that Yang Su had been dismissed and returned to his hometown.

Several times, Yang Guang wanted to take advantage of the opportunity in the capital to punish Yan Rong, but he missed the opportunity several times. Returning to the palace, Xiao Jun saw Yang Guang's gloomy look and followed behind him and asked:"Why is Your Highness looking like this? Could it be that Yang Su didn't dare to accept it?""

"Yang Su, the imperial censor, has been dismissed and returned to his hometown. The new censor has not yet taken office."

"This Yan Rong is really lucky, he has gotten away with it several times. Yang Guang sat on the Taishi chair with his legs crossed,"

You can see Yan Rong tomorrow at the court meeting. Once he has received the reward and announced it to the world, it will be even harder to sue him. It's a pity that he has to bear it and give up." Xiao

Jun also sat aside and said:"Yan Rong is not someone who can be defeated easily. I feel that the time has not come yet, so there is no harm in waiting.""

"My noble prince is persecuted by this traitor everywhere. It is really a shame and a great humiliation."

"If His Highness wants to get rid of Yan Rong, there are only two conditions."

Listening to these words, Yang Xiu's heart brightened up and she became energetic:"My beloved concubine, let me tell you, what are the two prerequisites?"

"Either Yan Rong disobeys military orders and follows the law; or His Highness inherits the throne and executes Yan Rong"

"Hush, don't talk nonsense about inheriting the throne." Yang Guang pondered these two premises and fell into deep thought. Every time he thought of the throne, he couldn't help but feel jealous of his brother Yang Yong. Yang Guang said:"Instead of thinking about how to deal with Yan Rong here, it is better to find a way to seize the throne."

Xiao Jun said,"This victory over the Turks is a small test for your highness. There will be big things waiting for your highness to make contributions in the future.""

"The important things my concubine said……"

"Defeat Chen State and unify the world."

Xiao Jun's shocking words made Yang Guang stunned for a long time. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty had coveted Jiangnan for a long time, but he never mentioned the Southern Expedition. Today, being exposed by Xiao Jun also gave Yang Guang an epiphany.

"Concubine Ai is indeed foresighted, but pacifying the Chen Kingdom is different from resisting the Turks. This is a major event to unify the world."

"Precisely because it is a major event, His Highness must strive to become the head coach of Pingchen."

Yang Guang pondered, his heart no longer willing to be a prince, his swollen heart was already eager to wait and see Yang Yong's position as prince....

Early the next morning, Yang Guang got up to prepare for the morning court. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty would hold a court celebration in the main hall. Xiao Jun helped arrange Yang Guang's court clothes. Yang Guang looked left and right in front of the bronze mirror, shaking his heroic appearance. Xiao Jun straightened his robes and stood behind Yang Guang and said:"Today at the court meeting, you will definitely see Yan Rong. Your Highness must not be impulsive.""

"Don’t worry, my beloved, I will act with caution."

Xiao Jun hugged Yang Guang from behind, and the couple's tacit smile was reflected in the center of the bronze mirror. Yang Guang asked:"My beloved, do you think this king can win the throne?"

"Whoever can unify the world will have the throne. Yang

Guang nodded, turned around, stroked Xiao Jun's face with his hand, and said softly:"From today on, I will plan to regain the world.""

Xiao Jun smiled slightly, and the couple followed each other out of the house and out of the palace. Yang Guang took a chariot and went straight to the palace. There was a meeting in the capital, hundreds of officials entered the capital, and a banquet was already served in the main hall. , dozens of tables of wine and food filled the hall with fragrance. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, came to the Xuanwen Hall, and officials from all over the court knelt down in unison, shouting long live the mountain. After paying homage, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said:"I personally conquered the Turks, and defeated the Turks. Clean up the inside and outside of the Great Wall. Dear dear friends, today's court meeting has made a great contribution, and I will have my own reward."

The great eunuch Wang Wentong unfolded the imperial edict and said loudly:"All ministers listen to the edict.……"

All civil and military officials in the court knelt down and kowtowed to listen to the order. Most of the rewards from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty were expected. King Yang Guang of Jin did not care about the reward, but secretly turned his head and glanced at the kneeling ministers at the side and behind. Across two rows of ministers, his eyes fell on Yan Rong..

When Yan Rong came to Beijing this time, he knew that Yang Guang hated him the most. He was afraid of meeting him head-on, so he just pretended not to see it. But when the imperial edict was read out, Yan Rong accidentally noticed that Yang Guang's eyes were staring at him, and his heart was turned upside down. No peace.

After the reward was completed, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty said:"Today I have a banquet in the palace. I will drink with all the officials. I will not stop until I get drunk. You all love me, so you don't have to be formal."

Everyone took their seats. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty raised his glass in praise, and all the ministers echoed. , only Yan Rong felt extremely uneasy, and when he looked secretly, Jin Wang Yang Guang's hostile eyes never let go of Yan Rong.

After Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty toasted three glasses of wine, everyone drank and chatted. Yan Rong was a little uncomfortable when Yang Guang saw him, and he was worried. Suddenly, a minister next to him started talking:"We are all local officials. If we want to be comfortable, There are talented people in the court who are good at serving as officials."

Another minister said:"This time, the emperor's personal expedition is for the prince to supervise the country. Ministers who have friendship with the prince have also been rewarded."

Yan Rong listened to the side and paused in his heart. It's a plan, sooner or later the prince Yang Yong will ascend the throne and become the emperor. If he relies on the prince's disciples, why worry about the Jin Wang Yang Guang? Yan Rong asked:"My lord, this prince is living in seclusion in the East Palace. How can we have the chance to rise to the top?"

A minister said:"What's so difficult about this? The name of the chief registrar of the East Palace is Yun Dingxing. He is originally from the palace. The tea master lives in the south of the city. You have taken care of this old guy, but you are still afraid of not being able to see the prince?"

When Yan Rong heard this, he felt that Yun Dingxing was a useful person, so he drank a few glasses of imperial wine.

After the royal banquet, Yan Rong immediately returned to the post house. An accompanying guard asked:"My lord, the congratulations are over. When will you return to Qingzhou?""

"No," Yan Rongdao waved his hand:"I can't go back in a hurry. You should prepare some gold and silver immediately. I have important things to take care of."

"obey."

The next day, the guards accompanying Qingzhou Mansion prepared a slightly larger wooden box with a hundred taels of gold in it. Yan Rong changed into casual clothes, took two guards, and rode to the south of the city.

East Palace The chief clerk Yun Dingxing's mansion was in the south of Daxing City. When they came to the gate of Yun's mansion, Yan Rong and others got off their horses. A servant asked:"What does this official do for you?""

"Sorry to trouble you, Yan Rong, the general manager of Qingzhou, paid a visit."

"please wait. The doorman returned to the courtyard not long before he turned around and came out, bowing and saying:"Mr. Yan, my master has invited me.""

Yan Rong followed the servant into the Yun Mansion. When he saw the inside of the Yun Mansion, it was magnificent, with rockeries, bonsais, pavilions, flowers and plants all available. Yan Rong secretly sighed in his heart, what a little person who is the chief clerk of the East Palace. The official residence is so luxurious.

When he came to the living room, Yun Dingxing was stroking his beard, closing his eyes and looking up, looking very dignified. Yan Rong took the initiative to step forward, bowed his hands, and bowed to salute:"I am humble, Yan Rong, to pay my respects to the master."

Yun Dingxing has followed the prince Yang Yong for many years. He has always been frivolous and was too lazy to even raise his eyelids. He said slowly:"Master Yan is here... sit down and talk, and order tea."

Yan Rong looked at Yun Dingxing, thinking that this person must be a bastard. The more such a person is, the more he pretends to be a grandson. Yan Rong nodded and bowed, with a submissive look:"Yan just paid homage to the emperor yesterday, and he dare not do it today. No delay, come and visit the Registrar first"

"Um. Yun Dingxing narrowed his eyes and asked,"I'm just an idle official in the East Palace, and I'm still thinking about it, Manager Lao Yan. I'm really lucky, but I really don't dare to be one.""

"Everyone knows that as a Beijing official, you work much harder than us local officials. You take care of everything every day and work tirelessly. Yun

Dingxing felt a lot more comfortable after all the flattery. He glanced sideways at Yan Rong and asked,"It's not easy for Mr. Yan to come here. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it. I like to interact with local officials." friend."

Yan Rong waved to the guard beside him, and one of the guards carried the wooden box. Yan Rong opened the wooden box and caught Yun Dingxing's eyes with his hand:"One hundred taels of gold, a little filial piety from the lower official."

Yun Dingxing squinted his eyes, and a golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes. These one hundred taels of gold just twisted Yun Dingxing's neck.

"Is Manager Yan’s gift too heavy?"

"This is the intention of Qingzhou Mansion, and I hope it will be accepted. I just want a good opportunity to pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Oops, I'm not welcome then. Yun

Dingxing accepted the gold and asked with some doubts:"Mr. Yan is so anxious to see His Highness, what is the hidden secret?""

"well! Yan Rong pretended to be aggrieved and sighed:"To be honest, I have some misunderstandings with Jin Wang Yang Guang, but Jin Wang always makes things difficult for me, and it is becoming more and more difficult for me to be a local official.""

Hearing that Yan Rong was complaining about Yang Guang, he secretly thought that the prince had always been worried about Yang Guang, so he just recommended Yan Rong to the prince. Thinking of this, Yun Dingxing laughed:"This matter is not difficult, I will take care of it. Yan

Rong bowed and said,"Then there is Mr. Lao Yun.""

"I am about to enter the palace at noon, and I will make arrangements by then. The prince is also a good master who makes friends with heroes from all over the world. Manager Yan is waiting for good news."

Yan Rong was overjoyed. He gave him a hundred taels of gold and thanked him again and again. This made Yun Dingxing confused, and Yan Rong returned to the posthouse proudly.

Yun Dingxing was the shortest in taking advantage of others, and gave away the shortcomings of others. After leaving Yan Rong, he hurried to the East Palace before noon.

Prince Yang Yong was having dinner with Concubine Yuan. When he saw Yun Dingxing entering the palace at this time, Yang Yong asked:"What is the important matter for the chief secretary to enter the palace at this time?""

Yun Dingxing said:"Tomorrow is the day when the prince summons local officials. I am arranging the candidates and come to ask for the prince's will."

"Didn’t I ask you to arrange the candidates?"

"Yes, the first choice was Yin Shou, the general manager of Youzhou, but Yin Shou was sick, so he was temporarily replaced by Yan Rong, the general manager of Qingzhou."

"This palace summons local officials to select those with outstanding performance. I wonder what Yan Rong's political performance is?"

Yun Dingxing bowed and said:"Reporting to the prince, Yan Rong, the general manager of Qingzhou, has both civil and military skills, good governance, loves the people like a son, and has outstanding political achievements. He can be called a pillar of talent. Yang

Yong was very surprised when he heard this. He put down his bowls and chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and asked,"How can someone be so capable?""

"yes."Yun Dingxing didn't know Yan Rong was a person at all. He just took money to do things, and he could tell the truth.

Yang Yong nodded:"Well, let's summon Yan Rong, the general manager of Qingzhou instead."

"obey."Yun Dingxing smiled slyly, and secretly resigned with pride.

Another day later, it was the day when the prince summoned local officials to sit down and discuss politics. According to the etiquette of the Sui Dynasty, after the emperor held a banquet to reward the officials who came to Beijing, the prince would summon Officials with outstanding political achievements discuss politics under the same roof, firstly, they understand the living hardships of the people from all over the world, and secondly, they experience the crown prince’s talent for governing the country. Yun

Dingxing, the administrator of the East Palace, was originally a poor official responsible for arranging candidates. Through Yan Rong, He paid a bribe and recommended Yan Rong to the prince Yang Yong.

The place where political affairs were discussed was the Shizheng Hall, the study room of the East Palace. Yun Dingxing accompanied Yang Yong to the hall and saw that Yan Rong was the only one. Yan Rong hurriedly worshiped him.

Yang Yong asked:"Why is there only Yan Rong?" Honor one person?"

Yun Dingxing said:"The only minister who accompanies the prince to discuss politics is Yan Rong, who has outstanding political achievements. The others are not the same, so they are arranged in the afternoon."

"Okay, today I would like to hear how the current affairs in Qingzhou are going? The three of them took their seats, and several cups of fragrant tea were placed on the coffee table. Prince

Yang Yong asked,"Manager Yan, since Chief Yun has repeatedly praised you for your outstanding political achievements, how about you tell me how the current affairs in Qingzhou are?""

Yan Rong had already prepared a lot of words. Whether they were true or false, he just took this opportunity to express them to the prince. Yan Rong pretended to be aggrieved,"Nowadays, the lives of the people of Qingzhou are getting worse every day."

"Um? Prince Yang Yong was stunned and asked:"Why is this?"?"

"When King Yang Guang of the Jin Dynasty was supervising the war in Youzhou, he forcibly levied money and grain from Qingzhou Prefecture and increased taxes, which made the people miserable. Officials complained, and people and gods were angry. It was worse than this. It was really an act that harmed the country and the people!"

"How could the second brother be so ridiculous? Yan

Rong showed a trace of indignation and said righteously:"The king of Jin is causing trouble. If the prince doesn't come forward to take care of it, the ministers will have no choice but to follow suit and expropriate violently.""

"Snapped! Yang Yong slapped the table and became angry:"I didn't expect that my second brother, so-called outstanding military exploits, could be so harmful to the country and the people.""

"The prince calms down his anger, the prince calms down his anger."Yun Dingxing pretended to stand up to persuade.

Yang Yong said:"Whenever I discuss current affairs with my ministers, I always report good news but not bad news. Today, after listening to Yan Rong's words, I can see the sun from the clouds, which makes me suddenly enlightened. What the King of Jin did is so overwhelming that it’s hard to describe!"

Yan Rong framed him, and Yun Dingxing added fuel to the fire, making the prince Yang Yong furious. Returning to the East Palace, Yang Yong immediately drafted a memorial to impeach Jin Wang Yang Guang. This is:

Bi Feng Hei sued the imperial court, brother. A fight between a dragon and a tiger.

They are originally from the same mother, and they are born from the same roots.
