Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

The next day the sun was shining brightly and the sky was cloudless. It happened to be a good day, so Yang Yue was invited to Yuwenshu's house. Since Yang Su became a servant, he has truly become an immortal, with chickens and dogs ascending to heaven, and his second brother Yang Yue has also doubled in stature.

When I arrived at Yuwen's mansion and looked around, I saw that Yuwenshu's mansion was not decorated luxuriously, but rather simple and plain.

Yang Yue couldn't help but sighed:"I often hear that the Jin Prince's palace is simple and frugal. I didn't expect that Mr. Yuwen, who has been the concubine of the Jin Dynasty in the past few years, is also so upright."

Yuwen Shu smiled and said,"Who says otherwise."

The two came to the living room,"Master Yang, please." Yu Wenshu invited Yang Yue into the living room. Yang Yue looked around but saw a few paintings and calligraphy, but when he looked at the ground, he was shocked. Two boxes of gold and silver jewelry were placed under the table with their lids open.

Yu Wenshu looked at Yang Yue from the side and knew that this man was a greedy man. The two sat down, and Yu Wenshu took out a pair of tea bowls and three dice, and said to Yang Yue,"If you are not busy with business, how about I play a few games with you?"

Yang Yue kept staring at the treasure on the ground. Look, he pretended to ask:"It's okay to try your luck, but there is no bet, so it's not fun."

Yuwen Shu smiled and said:"The two boxes of gold and silver on the ground are the bets."

"Wouldn't it be a good idea to use Master Yuwen's money as a bet? Yang Yue pretended to ask.

"Gold and silver are things outside the body, why should we value them? Come, come, come."When Yu Wenshu said this, Yang Yue followed suit and sat down.

The two started playing dice, but Yang Yue didn't know that the dice had been tampered with. Yu Wenshu deliberately lost the bet and lost money continuously, while Yang Yue continued to win consecutive bets. He was very happy. After several games of gambling, Yang Yue had won both boxes of treasure.

When Yang Yue saw that Yu Wenshu had lost everything, he felt a little embarrassed and said,"My lord and I are just gambling." , How can I take away all the two boxes of treasures? I'd better keep some. How could I know that Yuwenshu gave in and said,"I, Yuwenshu, am an upright and well-behaved person. How can I return something that I have lost?" Never"

"It’s just for fun, it’s better to leave half of it"

"It’s a no-brainer. A true man deals with things openly and aboveboard. He is willing to admit defeat when gambling. If an official of my court has to pay gambling debts, he won’t be laughed at."

Yuwenshu was determined to lose the money, but Yang Yue couldn't refuse. He became greedy again and didn't give in much. He accepted Yuwenshu's two boxes of gold and silver. Not only was Yuwenshu not stingy, he also invited Yang Yue to come back another day.

Yang Yue was heartbroken. I wanted to rely on my eldest brother Yang Su to be the prime minister, and there were many people in the court who were fawning over me. I was not suspicious of Yuwenshu's invitation, so I went to Yuwenshu's house to gamble every day. For several days in a row, I won a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.

On this day, Yang Yue came to Yuwenshu's house to gamble again, and he won again. At this time, Yang Yue felt a little guilty. He felt that no matter how bad Yuwenshu's luck was, he couldn't bear such a loss. There must be a reason for it. Then he told Yuwen:"Sir Yuwen, I have lost a lot of gold and silver to my subordinates for several days. I think there must be someone among them who has an idea. Why don't you speak frankly.

Yu Wenshu said:"Mr. Yang, do you think these gold and silver are given to you by the lower officials?" This is the wish of King Jin Qiansui."

"ah? Yang Yue was startled. He calmed down and asked,"The King of Jin loves his subordinates so much. Why should he be sent here?" Yu

Wenshu said with a smile:"Master Yang, many people in the court are now rumoring that the Duke of Yue and Master Yang built a palace, forcibly recruited civilians, harmed the people, and ruined human lives. I heard that he has been impeached several times." Yang

Yue suddenly took a breath of cold air, his eyes were panicked, he stretched out his hands and bowed and said:"To be honest, my brother is worried about this matter and is worried about causing trouble. I hope Master Yuwen can give me some advice.""

Yu Wen said:"Now Prime Minister Gao Jiong is investigating the case and has found the Duke of Yue, relying on the prince Yang Yong. Even if the emperor cannot bear to punish him today, he is old. Ten thousand years from now, who will the Duke of Yue rely on? Seeing Yang Yue listening carefully, Yu Wenshu went on to say:"The prince today is weak and mediocre, and the King of

Jin has outstanding achievements. If the Duke of Yue can support the King of Jin and depose the prince, your two brothers will definitely be the ones." The hero of Fu Bi. The King of Jin will remember him forever, and the Duke of Yue need not be afraid of Gao Jiong. Prepare for this matter before it rains, and don't dig a well when you are thirsty. Hearing this, Yang

Yue nodded frequently:"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading." Your Excellency has long-term thinking and what you say is reasonable. I will convince my brother to support Jin Wang."The two coincided with each other and became allies. It can be said that the snake and the python are greedy and want to swallow the elephant, and the gold and silver are stolen secretly.

If there is no trap first, how can we urge the Duke of Yue to help the King of Jin.

Yang Yue returned to the house, With this matter in mind, he felt uneasy all the way. After accepting so many bribes from the King of Jin, he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade his elder brother Yang Su.

When he saw his eldest brother Yang Su, Yang Yue said:"My younger brother heard that Gao Jun was secretly investigating, and my brother forced him to conquer Things about civilian husbands"

"Um. Yang Su remained calm and asked thoughtfully:"What do you think, second brother?""

"The younger brother feels that Zuopushe Gaojuan and the prince have been too close to each other on weekdays and have recently gotten married. If they join forces, their power will be overwhelming. If the elder brother does not find a backer early, he may have endless troubles.

Yang Su touched his horns and beard and asked,"Second brother, what good advice do you have?""

"Create a new crown prince and abolish the prince! Hearing this ,

Yang Su laughed loudly, clapped his hands and said happily:"As my brother is old, I am no longer as resourceful as you. If you follow this plan, you and I will be promoted."

Yang Yue asked:"Since my brother has this intention, I wonder which prince he intends to support?"

Yang Su said:"In addition to the prince, there are also Jin Wang Guang, Qin Wang Jun, Shu Wang Xiu, and Han Wang Liang." Why don't you write the names of these four highnesses on the palm of your hand and see if my second brother and I guess the same person?"

"The younger brother was thinking of taking a gamble."Yang Yue and Yang Su each picked up a brush and moistened the ink. They wrote the name of the prince they wanted to support on their palms. They stretched out their hands to look at each other. Yang Yue wrote the word"Guang" on his hand. Yang Yue Looking at Yang Su's hand, there was also the word"Guang" written on it. The two brothers coincided with each other and were overjoyed.

Yang Yue said:"I didn't expect that my brother could predict the future with such a keen eye."

Yang Su waved his hand, looked out the window and said:"When I returned to the imperial court, His Highness King Jin was in Yangzhou to reward the three armies. I had already anticipated King Jin's thoughts, but I didn't expect Gao Qiao's impeachment to come so quickly."

"yes……"Yang Yue also said:"This party struggle is coming fiercely."

Yang Sudao:"In the future, you should be more careful when dealing with Yuwenshu. Sooner or later, there will be trouble in forming a party." It can be said that the struggle for power and gain will hurt people, and the officialdom will be more dangerous. Yao Mang. I didn't see the suffering of the people who were kind to me, I only heard that internal fighting was rampant.

You take charge of the affairs of the country and rely on the heir, while I break the dynasty and establish the king of Jin. Everyone has their own destiny and has nothing to fear. They cannot bear the darkness and uncertainty of the society.

The Yang brothers and Yu Wenshu became party friends, attached themselves to the King of Jin, and had close contacts with each other. As time goes by, it is inevitable that people will notice the clues and say something behind his back.

The most sensitive person is none other than the consort Liu Shu. As mentioned before, Liu Shu was originally the prince's personal guard. Fortunately, he was recommended by the prince Yang Yong to be the consort. This time, he discovered that the relationship between Yang Yue and Yu Wenshu was abnormal, so he hurried to the East Palace to discuss the matter.

As soon as Liu Shu arrived at the East Palace, he heard bursts of crying. Looking through the curtain, it turned out to be the Crown Princess Yuanshi. For some reason, she was sitting in Nuan Pavilion crying. Going back to the main hall, Prince Yang Yong was sitting on the throne, his face was ugly and he was sighing.

Liu Shu gave a brief salute, bowed and asked,"Why is His Royal Highness so depressed?"

Prince Yang Yong shook his head and said,"I made a chariot for my concubine Yun Zhaoxun, which is slightly similar to the prince's. The concubine was crying and fussing, and was jealous."

Liu Shuyan said,"Could it be that Yun Zhaoxun has been taken to the East Palace?"

"As a prince, I can't stay out all night, so Yun Zhaoxun was placed in the west wing."

Liu Shu advised:"Prince, please be careful in the future. There will be more and more troubles in the future."

Prince Yang Yong was originally in no mood. After hearing what Liu Shu said, he became more energetic and asked,"Why did the prince consort say this?"

"In recent days, Yang Yue, the young minister of Dali Temple, has been in close contact with Yu Wenshu, the concubine of the Jin Dynasty. Moreover, Xiao Jun, the princess of Jin, has never returned to Yangzhou since she returned to Beijing."

"So what? Liu

Shu leaned closer and said:"Prince, think about it, the person who should be with King Jin is not in Yangzhou, but is now in the capital, and is still colluding with the Yang Su brothers. What is the omen?" Yang

Yong suddenly realized this and touched his head and asked:"Recently, the servant Gao Jun is investigating the palace of Qizhou. Could it be that Yang Su colluded with the King of Jin because of this matter?" I'm afraid King Jin can't help Yang Su either."

"But Princess Jin can help. Queen Dugu’s favorite daughter-in-law is Xiao Jun."Liu Shu said.

After hearing this, Prince Yang Yong felt that it was quite reasonable. Liu Shu advised him:"The prince knows his father's temper best. As long as the Queen Mother speaks and her father obeys her words, Concubine Yuan must not always be allowed to go to the Queen Mother to cry."

Prince Yang Yong said:"Go to Gao Xiangguo quickly and explain the current situation, so that he must hurry up to collect evidence and report to his father."

"Yes!"

Prince Yang Yong has a habit of asking someone to tell fortunes whenever he is in trouble. Liu Shu said goodbye and left. Yang Yong immediately ordered someone to summon the prince's guests, Si Tianjian Gao De and the fortune teller Lu Taiyi. Gao De knew a little about astronomical phenomena and was an expert photographer. The prince was a flattering speculator; but Lu Taiyi was forced to be invited by the prince, and he had no intention of staying in the East Palace.

This time, he was worried that the King of Jin Yang Guang would form a party for personal gain, so he told the story of the collusion between the King of Jin and Yang Su one by one. Yang Yong asked"In your opinion, gentlemen, do you think it will be bad or good?

Gao De glanced at Lu Taiyi and said,"I am watching the sky at night. It is difficult to say whether it is bad or bad. I just see that the prince is destined to commit peach blossoms.""

"You...why are you like Lu Taiyi, starting to tell fortunes?"

"Your Majesty, I do see that the sky is destined to be a misfortune."Gao De was eager to explain, and Lu Taiyi said from the side:"Your Highness, Mr. Gao is very accurate this time, and I am sure that I will be lucky."

Prince Yang Yong gave a helpless smile and sighed:"What kind of fate is this? It's just a matter of fate.The beloved concubines are jealous and fight until you cry and I make a fuss. You go down. Gao

De saw that the prince understood this and looked at Lu Taiyi. Lu Taiyi pretended to be stupid and said nothing. He only heard the prince say angrily:"You two get out!" Get out!"

"I……"Gao De wanted to explain a few words, but when he saw that the prince was angry, he held it back. The two of them did not dare to say more words and exited the East Palace.

As Lu Taiyi was walking out, God pulled his sleeves and asked,"Mr. Lu will only threaten the prince with his life, but this time I really mean that the prince will die with his life.""

"Might as well say it clearly?"Lu Taiyi asked

"Good luck. Lu

Taiyi sneered and asked,"Mr. Gao, you may have read the astrology wrong. How did I calculate that it was a peach blossom tribulation?""
