At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 407

Qianyang Palace is the place where Yang Guang usually handles political affairs, but now it is not "yang" at all, but looks gloomy. The open gate of the palace seems to be closed like a ghost gate. Even the guards outside the palace try to stay away subconsciously. There is no way, the person sitting in the temple is even more terrifying than Hades. After returning to Luoyang for less than a month, the number of people who have been directly and indirectly executed has already exceeded [-]. A considerable number of ordinary people who have received Yang Xuangan's food have all been cruelly cheated. Killed, not ordinary misery.

Moreover, Yang Guang is becoming more and more moody now, and the people around him will suffer if they are a little careless, especially in the past few days, it is probably because of the prophecy that "Li Shi should be the Son of Heaven", Yang Guang was furious, Three eunuchs, two court ladies and one guard had already died in Qianyang Palace, which made everyone in the palace feel insecure. Now Qianyang Palace seems to be more terrifying than Yan Luo Palace in everyone's eyes.

At this time, a woman in Tsing Yi came to Qianyang Hall. She was tall and slim, her shoulders were cut like a knife, her face was covered with a green veil, and her eyes were like lacquer. It was Yang Qingruo.

"Director Qing!" The guard in front of the hall respectfully saluted.

Yang Qingruo nodded, walked up the stairs, and came to the gate of Qianyuan Hall. Two crows standing on the cornice of the main hall fluttered their wings and soared into the air, disappearing into the adjacent halls.

Yang Qingruo frowned her willow eyebrows like light smoke, an ominous shadow was cast over her heart, now the whole Great Sui Dynasty was in decline, lifeless inside and out, the emperor was getting more and more crazy, no one dared to persuade or listen Persuasion, is it true that the national fortune of the Sui Dynasty has really come to an end?
Yang Qingruo stepped into the hall, the hall was very large, Yang Guang's throne was set in the dark place in the middle of the back of the hall, and the people who entered the hall could be seen clearly at a glance, but the ministers who entered the hall could not see clearly because of the light The emperor on the throne invisibly adds a sense of oppression, which shows that the designer of the Qianyang Palace is really a fucking talent.

Yang Qingruo approached step by step, his eyes adapted to the light in the hall, and only then did he see Yang Guang on the throne, sitting there quietly, his eyes made Yang Qingruo think of the two crows that flew away just now, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart. Suddenly, he knelt down and saluted: "Qingruo sees the emperor."

After several seconds, Yang Guang's deep voice seemed to come from the abyss: "Get up, Qing Ruo, have you found out the source of the rumor?"

Yang Qingruo nodded and said, "I've found out, the prophecy that Mrs. Li should be the Son of Heaven first came from a alchemist named Anga Tuo."

Yang Guang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Did you catch him?"

Yang Qingruo replied: "I caught it, and now I'm being held in Feiyuwei's cell."

"Why didn't you bring it to see me?"

"Your Majesty, this person has no real skills. He is just a sensationalist. His purpose is to attract the attention of the Emperor. If the Emperor sees him, he will fall into his tricks. In Qingruo's opinion, it is better to kill him directly." Let it go." Yang Qingruo persuaded that the current situation in the Sui Dynasty cannot bear torment. If the emperor is again bewitched by Angator and kills people with the surname Li in the world, it will definitely make the situation worse. It's really game over.

Yang Guang's face was gloomy, and he said lightly: "It seems that if Xiaoqing really grows up, she will teach me how to do things."

Yang Qingruo trembled slightly, bowed her head and said: "Qingruo dare not, Qingruo is only thinking of the emperor, the country of the Sui Dynasty."

Yang Guang calmed down a little, nodded his head and said: "I understand your painstaking efforts, but I am not confused to that extent, bring this person to see me, does this person have real skills, or is he just a sensationalist, or something Or it has bad intentions, I will know once I try it."

Yang Qingruo secretly sighed, respectfully said: "Yes, Qingruo took orders."

Yang Guang asked coldly again: "Yang Hualuo, Li Huakai, these nursery rhymes are also made up by this person?"

Yang Qingruo shook his head and said, "Angatuo confessed to the prophecy, but he denied that he fabricated the nursery rhyme. According to the preliminary investigation by Fei Yuwei, it seems that it has nothing to do with Angatuo. Probably trying to fish in troubled waters."

Yang Guang sneered and said, "Hehe, it's nothing more than Yang Xuangan's scum rising up. It can be seen that I haven't killed enough. If there is a little trouble, all kinds of ghosts and monsters will come out and kill, no matter men, women, old or young, anyone who participates in spreading rumors , to hunt and kill them all, I would like to see if it is the rebels with stiff necks, or the sharpness of my knives."

Yang Qingruo suddenly felt cold all over his body, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is not an appropriate move."

"What's wrong?" Yang Guang asked coldly as the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

"The emperor has killed enough, and he can't kill any more. As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Today's Tai Sui has been covered with bruises. This has given those who have evil intentions an opportunity to spread rumors. In addition to bewitching the people, it is still provoking you, the emperor. If the emperor is planning to kill innocent people indiscriminately, it will inevitably make the people of the world alienated. Then the great Sui Dynasty is really in danger. Implementing benevolent government, persuading farmers to grow mulberry trees, lightening taxes and reducing corvees, so that the whole people's livelihood can be recuperated."

Yang Qingruo's eyes were slightly red, Yingying knelt down on the ground, and continued: "Qingruo also knows that loyal ears are harsh, but Qingruo still wants to offend Yan Zhizhi, even if he is executed by the emperor immediately!"

Yang Guang's face was covered with dark clouds, his eyes were cloudy, and he said softly after a long time: "If Qingruo is loyal, how can I not understand, get up, I will not kill."

Yang Qingruo was overjoyed with relief, stood up and said: "The emperor is wise, the emperor will give Qingruo a few more days, and Qingruo will definitely find out the fabricator of nursery rhymes and hand them over to the emperor to make an example."

Yang Guang nodded and said coldly: "Okay. I'm not in a hurry. No one can take away my country. Go and see your aunt. I've ignored her during this time."

Yang Qingruo nodded, hesitant to speak, Yang Guang's eyes flashed, and he asked lightly, "Do you want to intercede for Gao Changqing?"

Yang Qingruo's face was slightly hot, and she knelt down on the ground again and said: "Although Gao Changqing likes to play tricks, he is loyal to the emperor and has some skills. Now it's time for employing people. Qing Ruo implores the emperor to see that Gao Changqing is not bad." For the sake of some credit, let him be spared once."

Yang Guang looked at Yang Qingruo with interest, and asked after a while: "Could it be that our little Qingruo has taken a fancy to Gao Changqing?"

Yang Qing's face was slightly hot, and he shook his head and said: "If Qing is already a foreigner, after the master of Jinghua Shuiyue is resolved, he will return to the mountain gate and devote himself to cultivating, asking for immortals, this worldly matter, what does love in the world have to do with Qing! "

"Really?" Yang Guang frowned.

Yang Qingruo bit her cherry lips lightly, remembering that guy risked his life in order to save Gao Shilian on the execution ground, and even admitted in public that he was betrothed to his grandson Wugou, he couldn't help feeling sad and annoyed, nodded and said: "It's true!"

Hearing this, Yang Guang snorted coldly and said: "Since this is the case, we can't let him go. Originally, I spared his life because of you, Qingruo. Since Qingruo doesn't care, then I can cut it off, so as not to confuse Dong'er in the future! "

Yang Qingruo's complexion changed drastically, and he blurted out: "No!"

A sneer flashed in Yang Guang's eyes, and he pretended to be displeased and said, "I want to kill those who spread nursery rhymes. You don't think it's right. I want to kill Gao Changqing, a courtier. You say no. Why don't you sit on my throne?"

Although Yang Guang's words were joking, they were undoubtedly very serious. Yang Qingruo's pretty face turned pale slightly, and she hurriedly said: "Qingruo dare not, Qingruo just doesn't want the emperor to kill loyal ministers in vain, Gao Changqing saved Ke Dun, saved Qingruo, saved His Royal Highness Yue, saved the queen, saved Luoyang, and... saved the emperor, how can there be such a sycophant in this world?"

Yang Guang was slightly startled, showing a thoughtful expression, nodded and said: "Qingruo, if you don't mention it, I have forgotten that this son has made so many contributions."

Yang Qingruo hurriedly said: "At the beginning in Liaodong, Gao Changqing also broke the pontoon bridge, which forced Ulji Wende to withdraw his troops and broke the siege of Huaiyuan Town. discovered and thwarted."

Yang Guang pondered for a while when he heard the words, and then said: "This kid is indeed a talent, no matter what, I can let him go, but Qingruo, you have to be responsible for me to keep an eye on him. Only you are asking."

Yang Qingruo was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Qingruo understands, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Guang glanced at Yang Qingruo, who was beaming with joy, and a meaningful smile flashed on the corner of her mouth. This girl was wrong, and she was obviously in love with Gao Changqing. Anyway, Gao Changqing is indeed a rare talent. If you use it well, it is a sharp weapon. If you really do things for me loyally in the future, I will not do anything for myself. So what if this couple is perfected!

As for the matter of Gao Bufan and Changsun Wugou's engagement, Yang Guang didn't take it seriously. Isn't it just an engagement? Even if they are married, so what, it's not a matter of his imperial decree. Once the imperial decree is issued, he Gao Changqing dare not divorce his wife and remarry ?Is my knife bad?
