A knife in love

Chapter 1232

Wang Xiaoyu curled her lips and said, "Sister Mu Rong, Yang Guang is the most lustful traitor. He brought Mrs. Xuanhua into the East Palace not to kill her, but to make her his concubine."

Murong Danyan was stunned, and said: "Mrs. Xuanhua is the concubine of Yang Guang's father, Yang Jian. It can be said that she is Yang Guang's stepmother. If he wants to marry Mrs. Xuanhua, won't it disrupt human relations?"

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Yang Guang is a well-known stupid and tyrant villain, he doesn't care about the laws of nature and human relations. This bastard has done all kinds of bad things, marrying his stepmother is not a big deal for him at all."

Murong Danyan was about to ask, but under the light of the torch, Wang Xiaoyu winked at her, signaling her not to ask any more.Murong Danyan then swallowed the words that came to his lips, paused for a while, and then asked: "What happened next?"

Seeing that Murong Danyan no longer asked about Madam Xuanhua, Wang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Zhang Heng is Yang Guang's best friend, and he was ordered by Yang Su to bring people into Yang Jian's bedroom in the name of serving the emperor. So Yang Jian was put under house arrest. Yang Su called several well-educated Confucians in his mansion and asked them to draft a will for Yang Jian to pass on the throne to Yang Guang.

"Although these scribes are Yang Su's best friends, they were shocked when they heard Yang Su say that he was going to draft a will. A scribe boldly asked, "The emperor has not died yet, so how dare the officials act for the emperor without orders?" Writing a will? Yang Su sneered, and said to the scribes, "You can just write as long as you want to write, why ask so many questions? Although these scribes were suspicious, they knew that Yang Su was cruel and merciless. If they disobeyed His order, once this person turns his back on him, he must die without a place to bury him. According to Yang Su's dictation, several scribes followed his wishes and racked their brains to write Yang Jian's edict to pass on the throne to Yang Guang.

"These scribes hadn't finished writing. Zhang Heng came to see Yang Su in a hurry. The two hid in the inner room and talked for a while, and Zhang Heng left immediately. Yang Su walked up to the scribes and said triumphantly, the emperor You have passed away, you must write up the will as soon as possible, so that it will be read out when the crown prince ascends the throne.

"Several scribes were shocked when they heard the words, but they didn't dare to ask, and hurriedly finished writing the edict. Yang Su was very satisfied after reading it, and sent someone to summon Zhang Heng. Only then did the scribes realize that Zhang Heng had brought The emperor's jade seal stamped the emperor's great seal on the just written edict, and this edict by Yang Jian ordering Yang Guang to succeed to the throne is considered a great success.

"Yang Guang became emperor under the support of Yang Su and others, but there are rumors inside and outside the palace that Yang Guang's position was not right. Some ministers privately discussed that Yang Guang and Yang Su instructed Zhang Heng to poison Yang Jian, and some people said that Zhang Heng died The poison failed, so he drew his sword and slashed at Yang Jian. There was chaos in the bedroom, and the emperor Yang Jian was killed by Zhang Heng, whose blood splashed on the screen.

"Yang Guang and Yang Su conspired to seize the throne. Originally, there were ghosts in their hearts. When they heard the secret report from the officials and the people behind their backs that they killed Yang Jian, they were frightened. They hurriedly sent people everywhere to arrest the officials and people who spread the rumors, and killed thousands of people successively. But the mouth of the people was more than that of Fangchuan. Soon after, there were rumors not only in the capital that Yang Guang murdered his father and usurped the throne, but also in Youzhou, Jiangdong, Shuzhong, Lingnan and other despicable places, officials and people secretly Discuss Yang Guang's usurpation of the throne.

"After Yang Guang became emperor, the first thing he did was to forge Yang Jian's edict and force the deposed prince Yang Yong to commit suicide. He also accused the king of Shu Yang Xiu of instigating a demon, and cursed the emperor Yang Jian and his younger brother Yang Liang of the Han Dynasty with witchcraft. Committed a great crime of treason. According to the law of the court, Yang Xiu was originally going to be beheaded, but because he was in the blood of Emperor Daxing, he was exempted from the death penalty. The son made a rebellion, so he arrested his son and locked him up with Yang Xiu. Not long after, most of these people were tortured to death by Yang Guang's buddies.

"What's ridiculous is that Yang Guang framed Yang Xiu for wanting to secretly kill his younger brother Yang Liang, the king of Han, but Yang Liang didn't appreciate it. He even raised the banner of rebellion in Bingzhou in the name of crusade against the treacherous minister Yang Su. Yang Guang issued an edict: Yang Su was the commander-in-chief and asked him to lead the army to suppress the rebellion. Although Yang Su was a treacherous minister, he had to be said to be a rare general. Yang Jian founded the Great Sui Dynasty, and Yang Su contributed a lot. In the battle, Yang Su made great military exploits. Infuriated by righteous indignation, Yang Liang wanted to avenge Yang Yong and his elder brothers, but he had never fought before. How could he be the opponent of the veteran general Yang Su? In the first confrontation between the two sides, Yang Liang was defeated. The whole army was wiped out. Yang Su himself was captured alive and sent to Chang'an for questioning. Yang Guang originally wanted to kill Yang Liang, but he was afraid that people in the world would talk about him killing his brother. Yang Guang Guang then imprisoned Yang Liang in Chang'an, but did not give him enough food and water to satisfy his hunger, and did not give him medical treatment when he was sick. After a while, Yang Liang died for no apparent reason.

"After Yang Guang got rid of Yang Yong, Yang Jun, Yang Xiu, Yang Liang and other brothers, he was worried about his nephew. He first killed the eldest son of the deposed prince Yang Yong, King Changning on the charge of treason. Yang Yan also linked Yang Yong's other sons to Yang Yan's conspiracy, such as Yang Yun, king of Ancheng, Yang Yi, king of Anping, Yang Ke, king of Xiangcheng, Yang Gai, king of Gaoyang, Yang Shao, king of Jian'an, Yang Yu, king of Yingchuan, Yang Xiaobao, Yang Xiaofan and others were all demoted to Lingnan. Thinking that Lingnan is a barren land, when these people arrive there, they will be short of clothes and food, and there will be poisonous snakes and beasts. I am afraid that they will all die in a short time.

"But after Yang Su heard the news, he immediately asked Yang Guang to see him. He told Yang Guang that although Yang Yong and others were dead, he was a prince after all, and there were many buddies of his in the court and officials from all over the country. These people lurk everywhere, waiting for opportunities to cause chaos. If Yang Yong's sons were imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple in the capital, Yang Yong's best friends might not be able to rescue them. If they left the capital and went to Lingnan, they would easily be caught by Yang Yong's The buddies robbed them. If they rebelled under the banner of the abolished prince Yang Yong, the world would be in chaos.

"Yang Guang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Yang Suzhi's words, he hurriedly asked Yang Suji to release him. Yang Su said to Yang Guang that in order to avoid future troubles, the sons of Yang Yong must not be allowed to live in the world. After Yang Guang listened , Immediately sent his confidantes to chase them out of the capital, and executed all the sons of Yang Yong on the way."

When Wang Xiaoyu said this, Murong Danyan exclaimed, and said in a trembling voice: "These people are Yang Guang's nephews, how can he do it?"

Wang Xiaoyu said: "Sister Mu Rong, you are too kind. Since ancient times, the royal family is the most ruthless. Even a good person will become extremely vicious after becoming an emperor. Everyone said that Tang Taizong was a good emperor, but he still Didn't you kill your own brother at Xuanwumen?"

Xiao Dong heard that Wang Xiaoyu uttered such rebellious words, he thought to himself, the little girl doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, so she speaks outrageous words.Hmph, I am in a hurry to go to Fusang, so I have no time to embarrass you.Otherwise, based on your words alone, I will make your Wang family go bankrupt, and you will never be able to stand up again!

I only heard Wang Xiaoyu continue to say: "Yang Jian, Yang Yong, Yang Jun, Yang Xiu, Yang Liang, and Yang Guang's nephews and nieces, these people are all direct blood relatives of Yang Jian, and there are seven or eighty people who died in Yang Guang's hands. But Yang Guang not only wanted to kill all the descendants of the Yang family who threatened his throne, but also many court ministers who offended him. Famous ministers and generals such as Gao Jiong and He Ruobi did not escape Yang Guang's murderous hands in the end.

"Yang Guang killed Yang Jian and won the throne. However, among his best friends, apart from Yang Su, there were not many famous generals who could fight against the enemy. Therefore, he did not dare to slaughter Gao Jiong, Yu Wenbi, He Ruobi and other famous officials and generals. However, he did not reuse these talented ministers. At the same time, he frequently showed his favor to the Turkic people who threatened the Central Plains, and did not dare to confront the Fanbing. In order to prevent the Turks from invading the territory, Yang Guang gave a huge amount of gold, silver and cloth to the Turkic Khan. Even the soldiers under the Khan's tent got a lot of gold and silver. Yang Guang also gave the Turkic Khan a car and horses, and rewarded the Turkic people with higher official positions, money and status than the princes and kings of the Sui Dynasty. Yang Guang This move was intended to buy off the Turkic people so that they would not attack the Central Plains. It’s just that he groveled and groveled, but he seemed to have annoyed a group of veterans in the court.”

When Wang Xiaoyu said this, he sighed, and then said: "Since ancient times, Wu fought to the death, and Wen died to remonstrate. But after Yang Guang became emperor, he killed all the civil servants with backbone, and the remaining civil servants kept silent. At that time, the military general stood up and said that the Turkic wolf's ambition was not a long-term solution. Instead, it made the Turkic people more greedy. The human and material resources of the Central Plains will always be exhausted, but the greed of the Turkic people is a bottomless pit. Once there is a Japan and the Central Plains have run out of money and can no longer send gold, silver and cloth to the Turks. The Turkic Khan turned his face and raised troops, and the Central Plains must be overthrown!"
