Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

Queen Xiao Jun strongly opposed the reduction of vassal status, and Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty also promised never to harm Yang Liang. But after Empress Xiao left, Emperor Sui Yang still went his own way and asked Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, for a complete plan.

Yang Su said:"Your Majesty said it was the late emperor's edict, asking the King of Han to return to the capital to assist in the government. With the late Emperor's face, the King of Han did not dare not come."

"good."Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty said:"Ai Qing, go quickly and select capable pen staff, imitate the late emperor's handwriting, and draft a posthumous edict."

"The old minister obeyed the order."

Yue Guogong Yang Su arranged for someone to copy the handwriting of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian, created a fake edict, and ordered General Qu Tutong to be the envoy and send it to Bingzhou.

Choosing Qu Tutong to go was also something Yang Su had carefully considered. , because Qu Tutong was an upright person, neither participating in party disputes nor getting involved in palace fights, and he was always upright and aboveboard. Even if Yang Liang, the king of Han Dynasty, suspected thirty people, he would not be able to guess who Qu Tutong was. So Qu Tutong went to Bingzhou, Unaware of the conspiracy, he went on the road with peace of mind and rushed to Bingzhou.

Qu Tutong went to Bingzhou with peace of mind, but Queen Xiao Jun became more and more worried in the palace, so she asked the young eunuch to invite the minister Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng was Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty for many years. Zhang Heng's confidant in the official residence was loyal to the Sui Dynasty and had contributed a lot to helping Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ascend the throne. He had been promoted to the imperial censor by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Following the Queen's decree, Zhang Heng hurried to the palace to pay homage to Queen Xiao.

Queen Xiao revealed the emperor's desires. Tell them one by one about the recall of King Yang Liang of Han Dynasty. Zhang Heng is a relatively loyal man. After hearing this, he said thoughtfully:"The minister thought that once he was summoned, the King of Han would not only not come, but would rebel in advance.

Empress Xiao said:"The Ai family is also concerned about this matter. Yang Su has many tricks and tricks. Your Majesty obeys his advice, but what can be done?" Is there any good way to calm this matter??"

"The empress can give a gift as a secret message to warn Han Wang Yang Liang that he will neither come nor rebel, and no one dares to act rashly. As long as the King of Han stood still, it would be difficult for Yang Su to alienate the brotherhood between the Emperor and the King of Han."

Xiao Jun heard this and felt it made sense, but after thinking for a long time he didn't know what code to send. Looking around, he suddenly saw a teapot that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It stood on the table and was as stable as a mountain.

Xiao Jun said to Zhang Heng:"This teapot is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a tower, which can be used as a secret message."

Zhang Heng nodded, and Xiao Jun drafted the edict and wrote only eight words:"The queen gave the pot, and there is no need to return it. Xiao Jun said:"This decree will be sent to Bingzhou together with this pot. You must choose a capable person to go there in person.""

Zhang Heng followed the Queen's instructions and chose a confidant named Murong Ya. This man was the son of Murong Sanzang. He was generous, loyal, honest and reliable. After Zhang Heng gave some instructions, he sent Murong Ya to Bingzhou. This is: love. Brothers and sisters are in vain, and good words and evil deeds are rewarded together. Looking back at the feudal lords and their families, how can they kill each other? To make a long story short. King Yang Liang of the Han Dynasty, courtesy name Dezhang, was the fifth eldest son in his family. He was the youngest son of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian. Conferred the title of King of Han. At first, he was most loved by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Dugu. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was worried that Yang Liang would be involved in the dispute between the princes, so he made the King of Han Yang Liang a vassal king and divided the state into a separate state.

Although there were many changes in the palace after Yang Guang ascended the throne, King Yang Liang of Han Dynasty With a hundred thousand soldiers in hand, he was entrenched in Bingzhou, and he had been sitting comfortably. Suddenly, one day, his servants came to report that the imperial envoy Qu Tutong had arrived. The emperor's envoy Qu Tutong arrived at the Bingzhou

General Manager's Mansion, paid a visit to the Han Dynasty King Yang Liang, and presented to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian's letter. According to the imperial edict, Yang Liang said:"In the imperial edict of the late emperor, the prince ascended the throne and the king of Han assisted in the government. Brothers helped each other and complemented each other. Please return to the court as soon as possible to assist in political affairs. I also hope that your highness will set off as soon as possible." Yang

Liang opened the edict, read it carefully, and said:"The general has worked hard all the way. Let's go to the post house to rest first. After the king has settled down for a while, we can discuss the day to return to the capital.""

When Qu Tutong saw Yang Liang's agreement, he said goodbye without thinking too much.

After Qu Tutong left, among the officials around Yang Liang, there was a soldier named Pei Wen'an who joined the army from Cao Zuo. This man was resourceful and resourceful. Yang Liang said:"This must be the emperor's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Yang Yong was executed, the king of Shu was imprisoned, and the prince consort was exiled. Yang Su, Yu Wenshu and others secretly planned for the emperor with vicious intentions. Everyone knows that your highness cannot be trusted easily. Yang Liang said:"

Seeing that this letter is indeed my father's handwriting, if I go, I will worry about harm from my brother. If I don't go, I will be disobeying the imperial decree. What should I do?" Pei Wen'an said with a smile:"

Have you forgotten, Your Highness? The late emperor once said that if it is an edict from the late emperor, add a dot after the word 'imperial' and half a military talisman to verify the authenticity.""

When he said this, he reminded Han Wang Yang Liang. Looking at the posthumous edict, there was no word"imperial edict", and Qu Tutong did not bring half a piece of military talisman. Yang Liang suddenly realized it and said:"This is Yang Guang's deception!"

Wang Kuǐ, who joined the army on the right, also advised:"Since there is a fraud, Your Highness must not return to the capital."

The two military advisors made suggestions, which put Yang Liang, King of Han Dynasty, in a dilemma. At this moment, someone came to report:"Your Highness, the queen has arrived with an order."

"oh?"Yang Liang was puzzled and quickly ordered someone to deliver the order. The person who came up was about seven feet tall, about 20 years old, with a fair complexion, fine eyebrows, a straight nose and thin lips. He was quite handsome and wore fine armor. Carrying a sword on his waist, this man was Murong Xia, the son of Murong Sanzang.

After paying homage to the King of Han, Yang Liang asked,"What is the queen's purpose?"

Murong Ya said:"Yi's decree is in the wooden box.""

Murong Ya put the wooden box on the table. Yang Liang opened it and saw that under the silk cloth, there was a teapot. He bowed on the table. The teapot was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It was very stable. He also saw that there were other things in the box. There was a note that read,"The queen gave me a pot, and there is no need to return it."

Everyone didn't know what the queen meant. Wang Qi looked at it and said,"Make the pot narrow at the top and wide at the bottom so that it can stand upright and not fall down. There is also a note asking His Highness to sit firmly in Bingzhou and not move until he rebels."

Murong Xia said:"What you said is absolutely true. If His Highness gets an imperial edict to return to the capital, it would be better to stand still."

Yang Liang received two edicts in a row. He was confused and undecided, so he had to ask Murong Xia to go back to the post house to rest and decide on a day.

That night, the Han Dynasty palace was brightly lit, and all the civil and military officials under Han Wang Yang Liang gathered in the palace. On both sides of the military commander's hall, King Yang Liang of Han Dynasty sat on a tiger-skin commander's chair and said to everyone:"Now Yang Guang has forged a posthumous edict and ordered me to return to the capital; and the queen sent a secret letter to advise me not to stay where I am. You can tell me whether I want to go or stay, whether I am the king's family or my life."

Pei Wen'an, a member of the left army, said:"Returning to Beijing is throwing yourself into a trap, which is absolutely impossible. If he stays put, Yang Guang will definitely become suspicious and turn against him sooner or later. Instead of just sitting there and waiting for death, it is better to strike first and rebel and fight to Chang'an.

Wang Qi also said:"You can neither go nor wait. It is better to take advantage of the faint king's unpreparedness, raise troops to rebel, and catch him by surprise.""

Yang Liang, King of Han Dynasty, asked:"I cannot send troops with unknown troops. We still need to decide on a reason.

Pei Wen'an said:"The vassal kings started to raise armies in the Western Han Dynasty. It has always been 'kill Chao Chao for his mistakes and Qing Jun's side'." His Highness regarded Yang Su as a traitor and raised an army."

Yang Liang, the king of Han, thought about it and immediately ordered someone to bring a map and discuss the strategy of war with the generals. The map was unfolded and Pei Wen'an said:"The west of Jingxing and the east of Taihang are all under the control of your highness, and the old and weak soldiers are ordered to garrison. In a dangerous situation, His Highness led the elite troops, with lightning speed, directly into Pujin Pass and advanced towards Bashang. Then the capital was shaken and the defenders found it difficult to assemble. In just ten days, something big can be decided"

"good!"The king of Han, Yang Liang, was overjoyed. He immediately drafted a military plan, summoned the soldiers and horses from Jizhou and Bingzhou, and prepared to go south. This is: Yu Xian wanted to be strong, only to wait for the capital to be in vain.

A hundred thousand soldiers rose up, not to prevent the Turks from attacking. Your Majesty.

After waiting for a few days, early in the morning, the rebellion manifesto drafted overnight had been drafted. Han King Yang Liang was preparing to send it to various states. At this time, soldiers came to report that Qu Tutong was about to return to Beijing to resume his duties.

Han King Yang Liang first Hearing this, he couldn't make up his mind for a moment and said to the soldier:"Let Qu Tutong wait in the living room first. I will go there later.""

"obey.

He asked his left and right sides:"Is Qu Tu Tong seeing it or not?"

Pei Wen'an said:"Qu Tutong is brave and good at fighting, so it is better to put him to death on the spot."

Wang Kun said:"Instead of executing him, it is better to use Qu Tutong to report false news to the emperor, saying that the king of Han will return to Beijing in a few days to buy some time for the rebellion.""

"So the best."

Yang Liang, the king of Han, followed Wang Qi's plan and came to the front hall. Qu Tutong paid homage to the king of Han, bowed and said:"Xiaguan is busy with official duties and cannot stay in Bingzhou for a long time. When will His Highness return to the capital, I would like to remind him so that he can resume his duties. Yang

Liang smiled slightly and replied:"The general is about to return to the capital. Please inform my emperor brother that Yang Liang will set off immediately in five days.""

"The subordinate obeys the order."

Qu Tutong didn't know that there was a deceit, and he was overjoyed. He said goodbye to Yang Liang and all the generals, and set off back to the capital. Two hours after Qu Tutong left, King Yang Liang of Han Dynasty immediately ordered all the generals to go to the military field to prepare. The drums were beating and the soldiers were beating. The soldiers in Bingzhou City gathered at the school military field. At this time, Xiao Jun's secret envoy Murong Xia was still in the post house. Suddenly, Sima Huangfu Dan came to visit. Huangfu Dan was Murong Xia's childhood friend and they were all old friends.

Murong Xia invited Huangfu Dan into the guest room and asked,"Huangfu Sima is here to visit. What's the important matter?" Huangfu

Dan said:"Master Murong, please leave quickly. Something bad has happened. The King of Han is going to rebel!""

"Where is the imperial envoy now?"

"The imperial envoy was Qu Tutong. The King of Han deceived Qu Tutong and said that he would return to the capital in five days. In fact, he had already begun to mobilize troops and was preparing to go south."

As he said this, Huangfudan took out a memorandum from his body and said,"The rebellion memorandum has been written. In the name of crusade against Yang Su, I will go to Beijing to eliminate the traitorous party and clear the emperor's side."

When he saw the seal of the King of Han on the memorandum, Murong Xia was shocked and said:"In this case, I need to return to Beijing as soon as possible to inform the emperor. General Huangfu is so loyal, why not accompany me to the capital."

Huangfu Dan said:"Thank you so much, General Murong. I lived in the Sui Dynasty and was rich, so I should be loyal to the court. I want to personally dissuade Han Wang Yang Liang and make him rein in his horse. Murong Xia smiled bitterly and said:"

General Huangfu is so confused. Since ancient times, vassal kings have rebelled. How can we dissuade them? It will lead to death in the end. It is better to come back to Beijing with me quickly."

Huangfu Dan said:"It is my duty to advise the King of Han." What I am worried about is the birth of a son. I hope that General Murong will bring him back to the capital, so as not to ruin the heir of my royal family."

"Where is Mr. Ling? Huangfudan shouted toward the door:"

My son Wuyi, come in and talk.""

I saw a teenage boy entering the guest room obediently, bowing his head and saying:"Greetings to Uncle Murong."

Huangfu Dan said:"The dog Huangfu is useless, please bring the general back to the capital. I would like to express my gratitude to you!"

Murong Ya held Huangfu Dan's hands, with tears in his eyes, and said with emotion:"The general is really a loyal and righteous man, don't worry if Wuyi is entrusted to me, I will treat him as if he were my own."

The two thanked each other with tears in their eyes. Murong Xia said goodbye to Huangfu Dan and hurriedly left the post house with a few subordinates. He took ten-year-old Huangfu Wuyi with him and quickly returned to the capital. This is: a fraudulent edict has been revealed. If you don't realize that you are gifted with a pot, you will turn your back.

If you know that you are born from the same root, you should be in pain and fight with each other as brothers and sisters.
