Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Originally, Lu Taiyi was asked how he calculated the disasters caused by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, but Lu Taiyi said that the emperor's fortune depended on the prince, because Yang Guang was ordered to commit peach blossoms.

Xiao Jun got excited after hearing this:"You……"Just as he was about to scold him, he secretly thought that although Lu Taiyi often calculated his luck, he was very accurate, and asked:"The prince only has one concubine in this palace, where does his luck come from?"

Lu Taiyi said:"Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and the prince is also there. It is inevitable. If the emperor falls ill, he will never be able to return to the capital."

After hearing this, Xiao Jun wanted to ask more questions, but Lu Taiyi shook his head and said,"I am just calculating, and you cannot predict the ins and outs of the matter. Don't make things difficult for me, Princess."

Yang Yue said angrily:"You blind man, do you know that our Dali Temple's punishment method is ruthless? If you don't tell me, you will suffer the pain of your flesh and blood!"

Lu Taiyi squinted his eyes and smiled, and said:"I am too old. I can't withstand the torture. This life We still have to wait for the emperor to perform an operation and ask for a beheading. If you used the punishment in advance, how can the emperor try again?"

Yang Yue thought, this is the case, he will use the punishment himself. Lu Taiyi has a good thing, and the emperor will not be able to explain it when he comes back, so he has to swallow his anger. Xiao Jun only asked about his fate and returned home disappointed.

Besides, the prince Yang Guang acted as supervisor of the country and took charge of the political affairs of the DPRK. Yu Wenshu, the concubine of the left, hurriedly came to Xuanwen Hall, met with the prince, and said:"To inform the prince, Yan Rong, the general manager of Youzhou, has come to Beijing."

Yang Guang asked:" What is the purpose of the Ministry of War in recalling Yan Rong this time?"

Yu Wenshu said:"Without the permission of the Ministry of War, Yan Rong would not dare to return to the capital at this time. In my opinion, it must be Liu Shu, the Minister of War, who recalled Yan Rong to the capital. Help Yang Yong regain his position as Crown Prince"

"Master Yuwen, does he have any good ideas?"

"The prince might as well take the opportunity to enumerate Yan Rong's sins and kill them first and then report them. Once Yan Rong stays in Beijing and joins forces with his consort Liu Shu, it will be a great disadvantage to the prince."

"good! He immediately drafted an imperial edict and ordered Yan Rong to come to see him."

The little eunuch in charge of delivering the edict continued the edict and was about to leave the imperial city. Yu Wenshu called him from behind. The little eunuch asked:"Do you have any other instructions from Master Yuwen?"

Yu Wenshu looked around and saw that there was no one around, and warned:"My young father-in-law, don't meet him at the city gate. Go fifteen miles from the east gate to meet Yan Rong and his son."

"Xiaonu took note of it."

Yan Rong and his troops had just arrived in the capital. Li Shentong and Quan Wu were originally there to meet him. Unexpectedly, Yu Wenshu arranged for a young eunuch to go out of the city fifteen miles in advance to greet him and pass down the edict.

At this time, Yan Rong did not know that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian had already gone. When he went to Qizhou and received the edict, Yan Xun pulled his father aside and asked,"Father, this is not right."

"What's wrong?"

"We were ordered by the Ministry of War and there was no order from the Emperor. Why did the Emperor suddenly summon us? Yan

Rong nodded and said:"There is something fishy about the matter, but if you don't see the emperor, you are disobeying the emperor's decree. It doesn't matter if you see the emperor.""

The accompanying soldiers in Qingzhou were stationed where they were. Yan Rong and his son only brought a group of guards into the palace.

It was Yu Wenshu who was waiting for Yan Rong outside the imperial city. Yu Wenshu said:"The emperor only passed down the order to Yan Rong and his son, and the others Waiting for orders outside the imperial city."

Yan Rong waved his hand and entered the imperial city with Yan Xun, accompanied by Yu Wenshu. When they walked outside the Xuanwen Hall, Zhang Heng was waiting and said to Yan Rong:"The general manager is not allowed to wear a sword when he comes to see the emperor. Just as Yan

Rong was about to take off his sword, Yan asked:"Commander Father, the palace is deserted today, and the eunuch Wang Wentong is not on duty. The reason is wrong." Yan

Rong said with confidence:"Your Majesty still respects me, but none of the royal relatives in the palace can touch me.""

The father and son took off their swords and entered the Xuanwen Hall. When they came to the hall, they saw that the person sitting on the dragon chair was not Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, but the prince Yang Guang. Although Yan Rong and his son were unexpected, they still bowed to pay homage.

Yan Rong asked:"The emperor ordered me to return to the capital, and I came back at night. I wonder why the prince is in charge?"

"The emperor has arrived at Renshou Palace, and the capital is overseen by the prince. Yang Guang said.

Yan Rong said:"Since the prince has summoned me, what's the important matter?" Yang

Guang looked at Yan Rong and his son and asked:"I received the imperial warrant and reported Yan Rong, the general manager of Youzhou, for being lawless, imprisoning court officials, raping women from good families, and abusing the criminal law. Is this possible?" Yan

Rong heard this and replied:"I am strictly disciplining my subordinates. The prince must not listen to slander." Yang

Guangdao:"In the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, you were the governor of Jinzhou and took possession of Xu Fu's daughter Cui Ju." In the third year since the founding of the Emperor, you colluded with Gao Baoning and attempted to assassinate me. In the fifth year of the founding of the Emperor, Du You, the prefect of Jiyin who was investigating the assassination case, was murdered by you. In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, the battle against Chen delayed the war, and he disobeyed the commander's orders and killed Xiao Wei. In the third year of Renshou's reign in Youzhou, he again abused his subordinates, raped civilian girls, and was lawless."

"It’s empty talk, where’s the evidence? Yang

Guang picked up a pile of files from the Long Book Table and said harshly:"Du You alone is enough to kill you if he investigates the files you created." Besides, the Xu family has your jade pendant, Zhao Xiuluo testified that you are collaborating with Gao Baoning, and there is a joint imperial warrant from local officials and the people! Yang Guang threw the file on the Long Bookcase and said,"With all the witnesses, physical evidence, and circumstantial evidence, what else can you say?""

As soon as he finished speaking, two teams of soldiers appeared from behind the screen on the left and right sides of the hall, and they heard Yang Guang's order:"Take it!"The soldiers swarmed up and captured the unarmed Yan Rong and his son.

Yan Rong and his son, who had done many evil things, were captured. Yan Rong struggled twice and shouted loudly:"My son Yang Guang, I am an important minister of the border. Unless the emperor issues an edict, I can't do anything. Catch me! Yang

Guang shouted:"I am about to kill someone to establish my authority. Now I am here to supervise the country. I can act on behalf of the emperor. I will kill him first and then report it. I will kill the Yan family and his son quickly and hang their heads on the east gate!""

"Yang Guang, you are avenging your personal vendetta, I want to find the emperor to judge!"

Yang Guangli ignored him and waved his hand. The guards on the left and right dragged Yan Rong and his son to the palace gate, beheaded them and executed them.

After a short time, Yan Rong and Yan Xun's heads were presented. Yang Guang said:"Immediately spread the word to Youzhou and tell the truth. From all sides, I want to bring justice to those who were harmed by Yan Rong."

Yan Rong's father and son were executed. Prince Yang Guang and Yu Wenshu drafted a memorial in Xuanwen Hall to report Yan Rong's crimes. The two were discussing the words of the memorial when they saw Zhang Heng, the right concubine, hurriedly came to Xuanwen Hall. Yang Guang asked:"Anyone? What's the important matter?

Zhang Heng said:"Someone from Qishan Palace has sent an urgent edict. Your Majesty is going to Renshou Palace because of an old illness that has become more serious since July." If you order the prince to enter the Dabao Palace, it will only involve important matters of succession."

Yang Guangda was shocked, and Yu Wenshu said from the side:"In this way, whether Yan Rong's death is reported or not is irrelevant. Planning for the succession is the top priority now.

Yang Guang said:"This matter will be left to Yang Yue, the minister of Dali Temple, for the time being. I will go to Renshou Palace immediately.""Immediately ask Zhang Heng and Zhao Cai to prepare their cars, get up and leave Beijing immediately, and go straight to Qizhou. This is what he is: a highly accomplished minister with arrogance, brutality and cruelty.

If Yang Guangqiu hadn't looked at each other, Yan Rong would not have been allowed to live until the spring..Prince

Yang Guang ordered Dugu Wudu to lead the guards of the East Palace to escort him, Crown Princess Xiao Jun, Yu Wenshu, Zhang Heng and others to the west, traveling day and night, and arrived at Qizhou Renshou Palace the next day.

Prince Yang Guang and Xiao Jun went to Da The palace paid homage to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, while Yu Wenshu and Zhang Heng went to the palace of Yang Su, Duke of Yue State, to discuss the succession to the throne. The three of them sat together, and Yang Su said:"The emperor is critically ill now, and it is only a matter of time for the prince to ascend the throne. Everyone knows Be aware. But these days when he was seriously ill, the emperor chose to use his consort Liu Shu, who was a close confidant of the deposed prince Yang Yong."

Yu Wenshu said:"If something unexpected happens to the emperor, there must be a posthumous edict. If the edict falls into Liu Shu's hands and is tampered with, it will be difficult to say who will inherit the throne."

Yang Su nodded:"It seems that it is not yet known whose hands the Sui Dynasty will fall into."

Yu Wen said:"The succession to the throne is of great importance, why not mobilize troops and horses as a temporary measure."

Yang Su acquiesced to this plan, and immediately wrote and revised a letter to Yang Guang, informing him to deploy troops and horses outside, just in case, and let him monitor the life and death of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian in the palace. After the letter was written and put into a cloth bag, Yang Su asked He said:"We are all ministers. If we go to Renshou Palace to deliver a message, we will inevitably be suspected. There must be reliable people in the East Palace.

Zhang Heng said:"Jia Ding, the eunuch of the East Palace, is traveling to Qizhou this time and is qualified for the job.""

The eunuch of the East Palace, Jia Ding, was summoned. Yang Su, the Duke of Yue State, repeatedly urged him to give the letter to Jia Ding and ordered him to enter the side hall of the Dabao Palace and submit it to the crown prince Yang Guang in person.

In the Dabao Hall of the Renshou Palace, Yang Guang and Xiao Jun paid homage to him. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty visited Yang Jian, who was on the sickbed. At this time, the Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was weak and weak, and his illness was unexpected. He was served by Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua. The

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty opened his mouth slightly and said:"The prince passed the imperial edict on my behalf and pardoned Lu Taiyi." , this time Lu Taiyi really predicted it, I lost the bet, I can’t wrongly accuse a good person."

Yang Guang got the decree and left the Dabao Palace to draft an edict to pardon Lu Taiyi. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty looked at the Crown Princess Xiao Jun who was standing by and said to her:"The Crown Prince does not have many brothers. If it causes fratricide, be sure to treat your flesh and blood brothers well."

"Take note, kid.

Yang Jian added:"When a person is about to die, his words are also good." I am most worried about my two wives Xuanhua and Ronghua after my death. One day, when Concubine Xiao presides over the Sixth Palace, the two ladies will be the mother concubines and should be raised well."

"The child will remember it in his heart."

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty closed his eyes slightly and waved his hand, signaling Concubine Xiao to step back. Mrs. Xuanhua personally sent Xiao Jun out of the Dabao Hall and was walking back when she saw the young eunuch Jia Ding hurriedly came to the Dabao Hall.

Mrs. Xuanhua asked"What's the matter with Eunuch Jia, why are you in such a hurry?"

Jia Ding said:"The Duke of Yue has an urgent letter and wants to deliver it to the prince."

Mrs. Xuanhua said,"Put the letter here. I will deliver it to the prince personally."

"Then I’d like to thank Empress Xuanhua."Jia Ding didn't think much and handed the letter to Mrs. Xuanhua.

Mrs. Xuanhua returned to the Dabao Palace and felt that the emperor would come back soon, so she put the letter on the table. Mrs. Xuanhua said to Mrs. Ronghua :"Sister, please wait for me to serve your majesty. I'll go change my clothes.""

"I'm here, sister, don't worry."

Mrs. Xuanhua turned around and went to the side hall. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty asked in a daze:"What did Xuanhua do?

Ronghua said:"Madam brought a letter and went to change clothes again.""

"Bring me the letter. I want to read it. Ronghua didn't know who the letter was for, so he gave it to Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty whispered:"Read it.""

Mrs. Ronghua opened the letter and said:"The emperor passed away on the eve of his death. Your Majesty Yang Su mobilized the imperial army from the East Palace tonight to surround the Renshou Palace to prevent the successor's throne from changing. After the emperor's death, I will first take the Ministry of War Shangshu Liu Shu……"

"Enough! After hearing the contents of the secret letter, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty couldn't help but feel angry, his blood rushed to his heart, and he said angrily:"How long has this been?" Yang Su also encouraged the prince to fight openly and secretly for power and profit, and even wanted to surround the Dabao Palace with troops.

Mrs. Ronghua said:"Your Majesty is still ill. You must not get angry. Just call Yang Su and reprimand him.""

"Go and summon Yang Su, I will reprimand you personally!"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Xuanhua was seen running into the Dabao Hall, looking flustered and dressed in messy clothes. This frightened expression was shocking. This is: the

Sui Lord is seriously ill and is suspicious, and people are always suspicious when people's hearts change. Gong Xuan There is no solitary person in the bright moon, and the colored lanterns hung in the courtyard are auspicious. The lone frost star in Qinling sighs in the wind, and the raindrops in Qishan Mountain shed tears on the branches. The heir to the crown prince is in doubt, and the officials are in confusion.
