Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

As the saying goes: A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the uprising of Huangfu Dan and Doulu Yu in Bingzhou was lit in the backyard of Han King Yang Liang, Yang Liang had elite soldiers after all.

Yang Liang led his troops to attack the city fiercely, but Huangfudan and others resisted desperately. After several attacks, the soldiers and horses left behind were old, weak, sick and disabled, and the defenders in the city were defeated and defeated. Huangfudan and Douluyu died successively, but they did not survive until their death.

It took a long time to recapture Bingzhou City. At this time, the territory that the King of Han had worked so hard to manage had been completely destroyed. King Yang Liang of Han Dynasty returned to the palace full of fatigue, took off his helmet and sword, and fell asleep with a bit of weariness.

I don't know how long I slept for, but a guard woke Yang Liang up. Yang Liang hurriedly sat up, rubbed his eyes and asked,"What are you panicking about? What are you panicking about?"

The guard said,"Qiansui, something bad is going on. Yang Su has already arrived at the city. Qiansui, please think of an escape plan."

Yang Liang was shocked when he heard this. , asked several people around him:"Where is the military advisor Wang Qi? Why is he missing?""

"After waiting for a humble position, I went to find a military advisor."

Han Wang Yang Liang and several guards around him were waiting. The guard hurried back and panted and replied:"I just asked about it. Military Advisor Wang Kun claimed that the situation was over and he committed suicide."

"ah? If the military advisor is not here, what can I do? The guard said again:"

I heard that Wang Kun once said that he had gone to His Highness several times to admonish him, and his strategies were no less than those of Yang Su. He only hated His Highness for not listening to his loyal advice.""After Yang Liang heard this, he sighed, grief-stricken and regretful. The siege lasted for three days. Li Yuan, Yin Shishi, Lai Huer, Mai Tiezhang and others led their troops to attack the city in turn. The defenders of Bingzhou had no fighting spirit. The desperate Han King Yang Liang had no choice but to order Kaicheng to surrender. In

September 604 AD, the fourth year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty, Han King Yang Liang rebelled for more than a month and was put down by the Yue Duke Yang Su with his troops. He captured Han King Yang Liang alive and personally He was escorted back to Daxing City, the capital.

The army suppressed the rebellion, the entire army of the Han Dynasty was annihilated, the three armies were victorious, and the eight-hundred-mile horse flew to report the victory, which made the whole court celebrate.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty took the victory report from the front and returned to Ning with great joy. In An Palace, Queen Xiao Jun saw Yang Guang's happiness and stepped forward and asked:"The emperor is so interested, it must be a great good thing?"

"Good news came from Hedong, the king of Han presented his city and surrendered, and I won again."

Queen Xiao congratulated:"At the beginning of Your Majesty's accession to the throne, the three armies were victorious. They defeated the many with less and put down the vassal king. It is really gratifying and congratulatory. It is auspicious and auspicious. Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty said happily:"Lao Wu is ignorant of the affairs and dares to fight against me. He will be escorted back to the capital in the near future." Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, I am preparing to change the Yuan Dynasty and do a great job in a down-to-earth manner."

Queen Xiao said:"Your Majesty has great ambitions, and the country is too peaceful. I am preparing to go to Huashan in three days to pray for the country in the Sui Dynasty."

"Well, that's very good. I'll send three thousand imperial troops to accompany Zhang Heng and Zhuge Ying to escort the queen. I want to arrange this blessing in a more dignified manner."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

With the emperor's permission, Queen Xiao summoned Zhang Heng and Zhuge Ying to prepare for a trip to Huashan Mountain to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings. Zhang Heng and Zhuge Ying wrote down the arrangements proposed by Queen Xiao one by one. At the end, Queen Xiao asked :"How is that Lu Taiyi doing now? If we can find this person, the Ai family would like to ask Mr. Lu to go with him."

Zhang Heng said:"Since the late emperor issued a decree to pardon Lu Taiyi on his deathbed, this man has bid farewell and left to travel far away."

"well……"Empress Xiao said:"This Lu Taiyi told the Ai family's fortune in the past. The six gods and five masters, and the fortune has not been fulfilled so far. But people in the palace said that Mr. Lu's fortune telling was extremely accurate. Since returning from Qishan, the Ai family has unfortunately not been able to tell fortunes." See you again Lu Taiyi."

Zhuge Ying said:"Although I can't see Lu Taiyi, I heard that there is Yang Bo Chou in Huashan. This man is proficient in the art of"Yi" and is praised by the world. You might as well take this opportunity to pray for Huashan and find out about Yang Bo Chou."

"That's good. The Ai family heard from Concubine Yuan that those four people, Wei Ding, Gao De, Lu Taiyi and Yang Bochou, were proficient in divination, each had their own merits and were famous in the world. Now Wei Ding died of illness a few years ago, Gao De suffered from madness, and Lu Taiyi left his hometown again, so he could only visit Yang Bochou.

Zhang Heng said:"Wei Chen will prepare now and leave in three days.""

Three days later, on an auspicious day, the east gate of Daxing in the capital was opened wide, clean water was splashed on the streets, horns were blasting, and golden gongs opened the way. People entering and leaving the capital, and merchants who came to the mutual market gathered at the east gate, shouting and crowding. , scrambling to watch, eager to see the queen's face.

Two columns of forbidden troops blocked a road, and Queen Xiao's phoenix chariot guard of honor slowly left the city. It was truly a sight to behold. It can be said to be: praying for good luck in Mount Huashan, and offering sacrifices to the immortals before the peach blossoms bloom. Altar. The dragon pattern and phoenix chariot are noble in the world, and the embroidered Luan is covered by the loving mother's ceremony.

The Xiyue God King lives in a narrow temple, but the Empress of the Sui Dynasty enjoys a wide temple. The Xiao family is famous in the world, and the people look up and look at it.

Three thousand forbidden troops guard the queen. Xiao Jun's phoenix chariot went all the way east, straight to Huashan. Local officials, Taoist masters, and country gentlemen and celebrities rushed to Xiyue Temple to wait for their ride. The imperial army drove to Xiyue Temple. Queen Xiao got off the phoenix chariot, and everyone fell to the ground and knelt down.

After paying homage, one person The Taoist priest came towards me. This man was about seventy years old. He was thin, with white hair and a childlike face. He was wearing a blue preaching robe and a thin belt around his waist. He held a whisk in his arms and walked lightly. He was a Taoist who was hiding in Huashan. Master, Dharma name Xuanqing Zhenren

"Infinite Life Buddha. Taoist Xuanqing pinched his fingers to salute, and Queen Xiao also returned the salute. Taoist Xuanqing said:"The empress has arrived here, and the Xiyue Temple is in full bloom. Please go to the imperial pavilion to rest first, and then attend the ceremony to pay homage to the Emperor of Xiyue.""

"Very good, please ask the immortal master to guide you."

Master Xuanqing invited Empress Xiao, Zhang Heng, Zhuge Ying and others to the imperial pavilion. This imperial pavilion is a wing specially arranged by Huashan Taoist priests to welcome Empress Xiao, specifically for the queen to rest. There are many wing rooms in the courtyard for The accompanying palace ladies, maids, and eunuchs rested, and the outlying houses were accommodated by the ministers and guards on duty. The preparations were very thorough.

Everyone accompanied Queen Xiao to sit down in the imperial pavilion. Xiao Jun and Xuanqing were seated separately and chatted. Queen Xiao asked:"I have heard about the majesty of the Great Emperor of Xiyue for a long time, but I still don't know about the majesty of the divine king. Can Master Immortal tell the Ai family? Master Xuanqing said:"The Great Emperor of Xiyue is a white robe with divine eyes. He wears the crown of the ninth rank of Taichu, wears the seal of Tiantongzhen, rides on a white dragon, and leads 4,100 immortal officials, princes and maidens." During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was said that the God of the Western Mountains could cause clouds and rain, produce all things, channel essence, and benefit people."

"Um. Empress Xiao added:"The Ai family heard that the Taoist master is proficient in the art of Yi, astronomy, and knows the past and the present. I wonder if I can ask for a hexagram?" Master

Xuanqing smiled slightly and said:"I am a poor Taoist who only specializes in medical diagnosis, pulse diagnosis, and medicine for self-cultivation. When it comes to astronomy, I am not as virtuous as my junior brother. When it comes to Yi, I am not as good as my nephew Yang Bochou. I feel ashamed.""

Gao De had heard about it for a long time, but when he heard Yang Bochou's name, Xiao Jun became more interested and asked:"I dare to ask the immortal master, where is your nephew Yang Bochou now? The Ai family has heard of this name before. Want to visit."

Mentioning this Yang Bochou, Master Xuanqing sighed, shook his head repeatedly, and said:"My nephew is not good at all. He was proficient in the art of Yi in his early years and was known to the world. However, he was frivolous, informal, half-tempered, and a little crazy. He was dissolute all day long. Wandering around with nothing to do, even Pindao couldn't tell where Yang Bochou was."

Empress Xiao had been waiting for a long time. She learned that Yang Bochou was such a mediocre person and no longer planned to visit. After drinking some tea with her, everyone got up and went to Xiyue Temple to pay homage to the Xiyue Emperor.

Everyone came to the temple and faced the statue of the Xiyue God. , Queen Xiao put up three pillars of incense and led everyone to kneel down together. In the temple, there was silence, silence and tranquility. Xiao Jun prayed and said silently:"Queen Xiao Jun of the Sui Dynasty worshiped the Great Emperor of Xiyue, praying for the protection of the gods, bringing clouds and rain, and producing all things. , I wish you a prosperous Sui Dynasty, a good harvest, and a permanent Zhongxing. I pay my respects.

After kowtowing, Xiao Jun said again:"I pray that the Lord of God will take pity on living beings, channel the essence and Qi, and benefit people. I hope that the Lord of God will spread the welfare of all people and make the people prosperous. I pray again.""

Kowtow a second time, Xiao Jun said again:"Pray to God to protect my emperor.……"Xiao Jun hesitated for a moment, then said"……Bless our Emperor and Mrs. Xuanhua with good health and long life, good fortune and longevity.……"

Before Xiao Jun finished speaking, he just leaned down when he heard a"whoosh!" and something hit Queen Xiao's temple.

This unexpected attack broke the tranquility in the temple. Xiao Jun felt a pain in his forehead, and a sour smell hit his mouth and nose.

Zhang Heng and two guards hurriedly came over to protect her. Queen Xiao was panicked and took a closer look. What she saw was a worn, tattered and smelly cloth shoe.

One of the guards shouted:"Who dares to assassinate such a thief?"

"Hehe...hahahahahaha……"There was a burst of ridicule, and a human head emerged from behind the statue of Emperor Xiyue, almost startling everyone.

When Taoist Xuanqing saw it, he stood up and shouted:"You evil beast, how dare you blaspheme the gods here, why don't you get down!"

I saw the man jumping down from behind the statue of the Lord of Gods, and looked at this carefully. Man, disheveled bun, sharp-mouthed monkey, with deep eyes, a dark brown face, and a face that has not been washed for an unknown period of time. He is thin and wearing a gray-colored rag robe with several cracks and two patches. Two greasy trouser legs are rolled up. , revealing her thin calves. One of the two feet is bare and the other is wearing a tattered cloth shoe.

I saw two guards jumping up, grabbing the madman, holding his arms, and he was easily caught and forced to kneel on the ground. Xuan Qing walked up to the lunatic with all his strength, pointed and cursed:"Yang Bochou, you are such an evil beast. You usually don't obey the rules. Today you have offended the emperor. No one can save you."……"

While he was scolding and scolding, Xiao Jun heard that this person was Yang Bochou, and he felt a little curious. Queen Xiao said:"Master Immortal, please do not curse, is this person Yang Bochou?"

"Oh, to tell you the truth, this person is none other than the unworthy nephew Yang Bochou"

"Wait for the Ai family to ask questions. Master Xuanqing pushed Yang Bochou and said,"Bo Chou, if the queen asks you, please don't mess around.""

Yang Bochou's face sank, he held back his laughter, and listened attentively to Queen Xiao's question. Queen Xiao asked:"Yang Bochou, Ai Jia asked you, why are you hiding behind the statue?

Yang Bochou said:"I heard what the empress was praying for.""

"Then why did you hit Ai's house with your stinky shoes?

Yang Bochou looked at it and said,"The people on the left and right are not allowed to hear this.""

Queen Xiao looked at the people on the left and right, and waved her hand to ask them to leave. Zhang Heng said:"If this person goes crazy again, I'm afraid the empress will be hurt."

Queen Xiao said:"You guys stand back forty steps. If this person gets mad, it won't be too late to kill him.""

"obey."Zhang Heng, Master Xuanqing and others stepped back forty steps, all four doors of the temple were opened, and everyone watched every move of Queen Xiao and Yang Bochou from a distance.

Queen Xiao sat on a chair next to the temple and said to Yang Bochou:"Four Ten steps away, outsiders can't hear you, so just say it. Yang

Bochou looked at the people who were retreating and said,"I am not trying to assassinate you, but I am trying to wake you up. I am afraid that your three wishes will not come true.""

"Nonsense. Empress Xiao scolded angrily:"You must know that speaking disrespectfully and disrespecting the court is an unpardonable crime.""

"Pindao has indeed done divination.

Xiao Jun looked down upon Yang Bochou and sneered:"How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?" Our Lord has lofty aspirations and has made twelve wishes to stabilize and rejuvenate the country and purify the world. How can you, a Taoist priest, predict this?"

"Twelve wishes? Yang Bochou squinted his eyes, muttered something, reached out to count, and said:"It seems that the Queen is still awake from her dream. If the Queen spares the common people and does not blame today's events, she will see the truth in twelve years.""

Xiao Jun looked at Yang Bochou's wretched appearance, stood up with a sneer, and said:"If the Ai family orders you to be killed at the statue in this temple, it would be blasphemy. The Ai family will have to see what our Sui Dynasty will do twelve years later. How powerful? Yang

Bochou sat on the legs of the chair, whipped the dust off his stinky shoes, put them on, staggered and chanted:"Wake up the dreamer, believe in me rather than God.""

As Empress Xiao left the Xiyue Temple, Zhang Heng and others followed. Xiao Jun said to everyone:"The Ai family pardons this madman. No one can hurt Yang Bochou. I hope we can meet again in twelve years.""

"I sincerely abide by the Queen's decree."

After Empress Xiao offered sacrifices and prayed for blessings, she toured the beautiful scenery of Huashan Mountain. Two days later, she drove back to Beijing to prepare for the triumphant army of Duke Yue. This led to the question: Duke Yue came to kill

Yang Liang, how could Xiao Jun allow his brother to be injured?.In order to help Sui Jun's ambition, he pushed the prime minister first and brought disaster on himself.
