Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

In October 600 AD, the 20th year of the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Prince Yang Yong of the Sui Dynasty was deposed as a commoner and the East Palace Annex was imprisoned. A month later, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian ordered Yang Yue, the minister of Dali Temple, to rush to Yangzhou to deliver the order and ordered Jin Wang Yang Guang to return to Beijing.

The news that Prince Yang Yong was deposed made Yang Guang unable to sleep for several days. It happened that Yang Yue, the minister of Dali Temple, came to Yangzhou and sent an order to the King of Jin to return to the capital.

Yang Guang accepted the order and invited Yang Yue to the living room. The two of them sat respectively. Yang Guang asked:"The prince has been deposed and I have been sent to the capital. What are your plans in your heart?""

"Your Highness is quick-thinking, can't you see the Emperor's thoughts? Your Highness must be the future crown prince."

"Sir, it is too early to say this."

"Does Your Highness have any concerns?"

"Gao Jiong was dismissed from office and the prince was deposed. However, these two people had deep connections in the court, so how could they be easily shaken. Besides, there is the prince’s best friend Liu Shu, the prince’s consort."

"What Your Highness said is reasonable. Your Highness needs to be careful in your words and deeds when returning to the capital this time, and keep everything simple, just in case."

Yang Guang accepted Yang Yue's suggestion and immediately sent an order to prepare the luggage for the chariot. He only brought a change of clothes and books, not even any craft jewelry, and returned to the capital in a low-key manner. He had been rushing for a few days. During the journey, Jin Wang Yang Guang arrived at Tongguan. On the road to Tongguan, he saw several people waiting on the roadside from a distance. It was none other than the concubine Zuo Yuwenshu and his imperial servant Zhao Cai, as well as the accompanying guards.

Yuwenshu and Zhao After meeting Jin Wang Yang Guang, Yu Wen said:"The princess ordered me and I to wait here for Your Highness in advance.

Yang Guang asked:"How is the situation in the capital these two days?""

Yu Wenshu said:"The princess told your highness that the empress is not in good health and the emperor is a little irritable. Please be more careful. We only prepared an old chariot for your highness. Only then did Yang

Guang notice that the chariots on the roadside were almost the same as those of ordinary officials. They were also a bit old. Yang Guang felt a little like walking on thin ice and said to Zhao Cai:"Immediately replace the chariots with old chariots." Beijing, by the way, smash my king's carriage on the spot, so as not to attract attention when entering the capital."

"obey."

Yu Wenshu led several guards to smash the king's chariot that Yang Guang was sitting on, and accompanied Yang Guang and others to the capital. When they arrived at

Daxing City, the capital, Jin Wang Yang Guang first went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor and queen. At this time, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian was in the palace. In the study room, Queen Dugu was lying alone on the dragon couch in Ning'an, with only Shang Yi and Chen Shuxuan accompanying her.

Yang Guang came to Ning'an Hall, knelt down and paid homage to Queen Dugu. Queen Dugu tilted her neck and said weakly:"Your Majesty Get flat."

Yang Guang stood up and walked to the dragon couch. Chen Shuxuan moved a round stool next to him. Yang Guang sat down and took Queen Dugu's hand and asked:"What's wrong with the Queen Mother? Why is she so sick?"

"Alas, you are not your incompetent brother. He spends all day practicing witchcraft in the palace and suppressing the enemy. He has no intention of repenting and has a chilling nature. Yang

Guang showed a trace of regret and consoled him:"Brother Huang and I are the same mother who had broken bones and connected tendons. Now that Brother Huang has been deposed and imprisoned in the East Palace, I feel uneasy. I ask my mother's permission to let my son go." I visit your royal brother"

"The prince is so kind. If your brother had your heart, he would not be in trouble today."

"The eldest brother is like the father. The sons and daughters all miss their father, mother and elder brother in Huaiyang. There are changes in the family, how can the sons and daughters turn a blind eye to them.

Empress Dugu shed tears and said with emotion:"The Ai family hasn't heard the word 'family' for a long time. After all, we are one family. Your Majesty, please go and see your brother.""

"Follow Yi's decree."

Queen Dugu was a well-known woman in the Sui Dynasty, and her edicts were more effective than those of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang came to a small courtyard at the corner of the East Palace, where was the forbidden area surrounding the deposed prince Yang Yong.

Yang Guang passed on the empress's edicts and guarded the forbidden area. Naturally, the guards did not dare to stop him. This was Yang Guang's first time in the forbidden area of ​​the East Palace. The courtyard was not big, and the few bungalows were weathered and somewhat old. The window paper was leaky and had not been repaired for many years. Yang Guang put his hands behind his back and slowly He walked in.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he heard someone shouting:"Father, is it father?""

The deposed prince Yang Yong exclaimed and ran to the door. The two brothers immediately looked straight at each other, their eyes facing each other. When Yang Yong saw it was Yang Guang, his knees went weak and he couldn't help but stepped back a few steps and leaned on an old square table.

"Second brother……"

Looking at Yang Yong's dull eyes, Yang Guang asked:"Is the emperor okay here?"

"Yang Guang! What do you mean? You saw my joke, right? You are extremely excited to see me unlucky, right? Yang

Guang said with a bit of humor on his face:"I heard that the emperor was misbehaving in the palace. He built houses for common people, made bronze and iron men, and practiced witchcraft to overwhelm the emperor. Now he is really a commoner. It's really satisfying.""

"Yang Guang!"Yang Yong grabbed Yang Guang's lapel, glared at each other, and said:"You are gloating about misfortune, with a human face and a beast's heart. I tell you that the emperor's imprisonment is just a moment of anger. When I tell my father, the prince is still me. Please advise. Don't be wishful thinking! Yang

Guang glanced out the window and sneered:"Brother, I'm telling you, as long as I move the consort Liu Shu, the life-saving straw can be uprooted.""

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yong was shocked. Gao Jiong was dismissed from his post. The only thing Yang Yong expected was his consort Liu Shu. These words spoke to Yang Yong's heart. Looking at Yang Guang's cold and ruthless eyes, Yang Yong pushed Yang Guang away. He grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it at Yang Guang angrily.

"Buzz!"The teapot passed over Yang Guang's head with a sound, and the debris landed on the door frame. Although the pot did not hit Yang Guang, the smashed fragments scratched Yang Guang's forehead.

Yang Guang reached out and touched it, and there was dripping on his forehead. Yang Guang looked at Yang Yong mercilessly at the blood stains. At this time, the guard outside the door heard the movement and ran in quickly. When he saw that King Jin had injured his forehead, he asked:"Your Highness, please be more careful, or should you?"……."

Yang Guang stretched out his arm to hug the guards and said coldly:"You two, please don't tell my father about this. Brother Emperor has suffered, and I have too. I hope that Brother Emperor will take care of himself. I will come to visit Brother Emperor another day." As he spoke, Yang Guang He put his hands together and bowed deeply.

In front of the two guards, Yang Guang made a U-turn, which made Yang Yong furious. He rushed forward to hit Yang Guang. The two guards quickly stopped Yang Yong and pushed him down to the table. Yang Yong struggled desperately:"You are a beast with a human face, a clown, and a shameless person!"

Yang Guang looked at Yang Yong's anger and showed a sneer, but bowed respectfully and resigned, cursing Yang Yong in his heart, and left the Forbidden Palace.. It can be said that they are brothers in name only, killing each other and acting as traitors.

It's hard to describe a dragon or a tiger, but you don't know the person's heart.

Jin Wang Yang Guang was scratched on the forehead by a fragment of a teapot, which was just a fur injury. However, when he returned to the palace, he asked Xiao Jun to bandage him tightly. As if he was seriously injured, he stayed at home behind closed doors to thank guests and lived in seclusion.

There had been no movement from King Jin for many days. On that day, Princess Xiao Jun came to the palace to visit the sick Empress Dugu. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty happened to be with the queen. Empress Dugu asked:"Why don't you see Prince Jin coming to the palace to visit Ai Gu these days?" Home?"

Xiao Jun knew in his heart that the feud between brothers Yang Guang and Yang Yong had reached this point, and any attempt to reconcile them would be of no use and could only help Yang Guang push the boat forward.

Xiao Jun replied:"The King of Jin visited his brother a few days ago, but the brother did not care about family ties and injured His Highness. His Highness felt that the family scandal should not be exposed publicly, so he could only hold back and stay at home to recover from his injuries all day, shy to see people.."

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty on the side was very surprised:"Oh? The prince is so unscrupulous?"

Xiao Jun said again:"Before coming, His Highness repeatedly warned that the injury was not serious, and hoped that the father, the emperor, and the empress would not worry about it."

Empress Dugu Looking at Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he said:"The prince does not want to repent, but worsens his situation, and is out of line with the religion. If the emperor continues to tolerate it, I, the Yang family, will only have a bad name.""

"Alas, now that the matter has come to this, I have decided to make King Jin the crown prince. If Yang Yong loses his virtue, let him follow his fate.

Xiao Jun hurriedly knelt down and said,"It is very important to establish another prince. I hope my father will think twice.""

"My decision has been made and there is no need to discuss it further. In addition, for the sake of the queen's early recovery and to eliminate any bad luck, I have decided to change the reign name to Renshou to pray for the queen's blessing."

At this point, the title of the Sui Dynasty was changed from"Kaihuang" to"Renshou", and the prince changed from Yang Yong to Yang Guang. This is: in the

20th year since the founding of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the country has unified the nine states. Work hard to achieve prosperity, and the pulse will be prosperous. Chapter of Becoming Emperor.

Three hundred years of disputes ended, and thousands of years of fame and praise. This was the beginning of the prosperous times of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and much prosperity melted into the twilight smoke. Jin Wang Yang Guang became the crown prince, Xiao Jun naturally became the crown prince, and the couple entered the East Palace together. Abolition Prince Yang Yong is still imprisoned in the forbidden area of ​​​​the East Palace, which makes Yang Guang very scrupulous. He is afraid that one day, Yang Yong will be restored to power and he will suffer disaster.

Yang Guang carries the title of prince on his back and is adjacent to Yang Yong in the forbidden area. He can't sit still all day long. Yu Wenshu came up with a plan and said:"The prince does not need to worry about Yang Yong, as long as he is strictly confined, there will be no accidents. Yang Guang said:"

Is there anyone available?""

Yu Wen said:"Wei Chen recommended two people. One is Wei Chen Quan Zi Yu Wenji. He is young and powerful and is about to become an official. The other is Dugu Wudu, the cousin of Empress Dugu. This man is a brave young man with unparalleled martial arts skills who can stand alone."

Yang Guang feels that Yu Wenhuaji is the eldest son of Yu Wenshu, so he naturally trusts him; Dugu Wu is the nephew of Queen Dugu. As long as the queen supports him, Dugu Wu will be loyal to him. With these two generals, Yang Guangguang feels at ease.

Yang Guang Guang asked again:"Have all Yang Yong's old men been arrested?

Yuwen said:"Catch those who deserve to be arrested, and kill those who deserve to be killed. There are only two guests, a lunatic and a blind man. They have been crazy all day long and have not been dealt with yet.""

"What two people?"

Yu Wen said:"Si Tianjian Gaode, fortune teller Lu Taiyi"

"oh? Since that highly virtuous person who cheated people out of food and drink has gone crazy, he will be kicked out of the palace and will never be hired again. When it comes to Lu Taiyi, please invite him here. I have something to ask."

Gaode pretended to be crazy and was driven out of the palace without saying anything. Lu Taiyi pretended to be blind and was led to the inner hall of the East Palace. At this time, Yang Guang and Xiao Jun were waiting in the palace, and Lu Taiyi pretended to be blind and remained silent. , did not kneel down.

Yang Guang stood up instead, politely, Yang Guang said:"Eighteen years ago, Mr. Lu was climbing Linjian, and he predicted that this palace would be extremely valuable. Now that I am the crown prince, I would like to thank you sir for your kind words."

Lu Taiyi said:"His Royal Highness is blessed and has his own destiny. How can the accuracy of the old man's divination go against heaven? Yang

Guang helped Lu Taiyi to the seat, and said:"All the old members of the East Palace have been arrested, but Mr., who is clever and clever, is kind to me. I hope that Mr. can predict good and bad luck for me.""

"If your Highness and Your Majesty have any questions, just ask them. Yang

Guangyan said:"Now that Queen Dugu is seriously ill and will not recover, my father is heartbroken. I don't know how long my mother will be able to survive this disaster. I hope my husband will do some divination." Lu

Taiyi said:"The queen is seriously ill and the emperor is worried. I think the emperor will kill him.""

"ah? Yang Guang and Xiao Jun looked at each other. They both couldn't laugh or cry. Xiao Jun said:"When your husband gave me a fortune-telling back then, he said that I would be destined to have a peach blossom. Later, I heard from people in the East Palace that he only said that my fate would be a peach blossom. Now he is fortune-telling for my father." Still a peach blossom. Lu

Taiyi closed his eyes and said with a smile:"If the prince and the empress don't believe it, we will know in less than a year.""

This divination made Yang Guang and Xiao Jun doubtful, and they served Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Dugu carefully and watched their actions. Lu Taiyi made false predictions several times, and most of them came true and were spread by others, so he stayed in the East Palace. After that, he stayed in the East Palace. After a long time, Zhang Heng came in a hurry and said to Yang Guang and Xiao Jun:"The queen's condition has worsened and she has summoned the prince and princess to see her."

Yang Guang and Xiao Jun did not dare to delay, so they got up and went to Ning'an Hall. When they arrived at Ning'an Hall, Queen Dugu was lying ill in bed. Seeing the couple arriving, Queen Dugu said weakly:"These days, the Ai family feels very sad. His condition is getting worse and it is difficult to get better, and he cannot serve His Majesty. Yang

Guang and Xiao Jun knelt in front of the bed. Xiao Jun said,"The child will seek out famous doctors from all over the world to diagnose and treat his mother." Queen

Dugu waved her hand and said,"The Ai family does not expect to live for a few more years, but is worried that your father will have no one to take care of him in the future." thisIf you don't have a woman to control you, you can't do anything well."

"What does Queen Mother mean?"

"Choose a concubine for your father."

Queen Dugu's words were astonishing. Yang Guang and Xiao Jun looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Queen Dugu then said:"The emperor cannot live without a woman to support his affairs. There are many palace ladies in the audience, but Chen Shangyi is the most trustworthy. From now on, you can serve His Majesty on my behalf."

Yang Guang and Xiao Jun have always been half-believed and half-doubted about President Lu Taiyi's promise to commit Taohua. Now the couple has finally come to a realization. Yang Guang said:"Chen Shuxuan is a prisoner of the Chen Kingdom and is made an imperial concubine. He is afraid of being criticized."

"Shuxuan grew up under the supervision of the Ai family. He knows my heart best. He has been trained for a long time. He is virtuous and intelligent. He has good conduct and can be the emperor's successor."

"It turned out that the queen mother had already planned it.

Queen Dugu said:"In accordance with the decree of Ai Jiayi, I ordered Shangyi Chen Shuxuan to live in the palace from now on and serve the emperor in his daily life.""Yang Guang and Xiao Jun had no choice but to follow the instructions and pass on the Queen's decree. This leads to the following:

After a long drought, the dew falls again, and the old cows and tender grass begin to smell fragrant.

In noble times, the dreams of concubines and beauties will eventually be accompanied by beautiful women accompanying the emperor.
