Chapter 501 Lightning Strikes the Hall of Martial Virtue

Chapter 501 Lightning Strikes the Hall of Martial Virtue ([-]rd)

At midnight last night, a drought lightning hit the northwest corner of Wude Hall, causing a fire. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, otherwise the entire Wude Hall would be burned down by the sky fire, and it would even spread to other nearby buildings.

Although the loss was not large and there were no casualties, Yang Guang was still anxious and suspicious. He didn't sleep for almost the whole night.

After the news of the drought and lightning hitting the Hall of Wude spread, there was a lot of discussion inside and outside the court. In the eyes of the ancients, earthquakes, lightning strikes, and floods were all manifestations of God's anger and punishment for the world, and lightning hitting the Hall of Wude was even more serious. Big bad omen.

For a time, rumors spread everywhere, the more bizarre and exaggerated the more they spread, and some rumors even pointed the finger at Yang Guang, saying that Yang Guanggui was the emperor, but he acted perversely and recklessly, causing the people of the world to be in dire straits , So God was furious, and the divine thunder was sent down to hit the Hall of Wude, implying that Yang Guang "has no virtue", and the great Sui Dynasty will change the world.

Originally, there are countless lightning strikes on the earth every year. There are lightning strikes on buildings, and there are lightning strikes on people and animals. Now, people will only regard lightning strikes as a normal natural phenomenon, but in the eyes of the ancients, it is very serious. It was unusual, especially when the lightning struck the imperial palace, and it was thunder in a drought, so it caused an uproar in an instant. Coupled with the help of people with good intentions, it seemed that the Sui Dynasty was about to perish.

Those with vested interests in the Sui Dynasty were worried, those with unruly plans were gearing up, and those who had raised their flags to rebel were even more cheering, while ordinary people continued to face the loess with their backs to the sky every day, at most, they would gather together after dinner and chat, As long as there is food to eat, clothes to wear, and a place to live, the common people don't care much about who will be the emperor.

Daye 11 years, August [-]th, Yang Guang, who had been suspended for three days for the morning court, finally came to the court, sitting on the throne as usual, as if nothing had happened, but all the civil and military ministers were inexplicably nervous, holding their breath and calming down The land stands on both sides of the hall, as if on the eve of a storm.

The crow's feet in the corners of Yang Guang's eyes seemed to have deepened, making him look even more ferocious. His eyes swept away, and he said indifferently: "Do you have something to say?"

The hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling, and it seemed that no one dared to come out and touch this mold first.

A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Yang Guang's mouth: "It seems that I have rested for three days, and your family is living very comfortably. Anyway, since the world is peaceful and you have nothing to do, let's retreat."

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce!" Nayan Suwei finally stood up.

A cold light flashed across Yang Guang's eyes, and he said calmly, "What's the matter with Su Aiqing?"

After Yanmen was rescued from the siege last year, Su Wei advised Yang Guang to return to Chang'an, the capital, to work hard to govern, live with the people, and stabilize the domestic situation, but Yang Guang refused to listen, and finally listened to Yu Wenshu and Yu Shiji and others, and returned to Luoyang, the prosperous eastern capital .

Su Wei was extremely dissatisfied with this. For more than a year, he has been persevering in admonishing him. Recently, he presented a copy of the "Book of History" to the court, advising Yang Guang not to be greedy for pleasure, and to immediately cancel his trip to Jiangdu, so that he can focus on people's livelihood and current affairs. above.

Yang Guang is naturally very upset, the dragon boat has been built and delivered, and everything is ready, now you ask me to cancel the trip to Jiangdu, are you Su Wei confused?
Therefore, Yang Guang began to alienate Su Wei, and during this period of time he and Wang Shichong had a fierce fight, except for eating and sleeping, Wang Shichong was almost always by his side.Wang Shichong is not only good at flattering, he also speaks humorously. When talking about the beauties in the Jiangnan water town like clouds, and the picturesque scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, Yang Guang is eagerly looking forward to this trip to Jiangdu.

However, just when Yang Guang was about to leave, such a terrible thing happened suddenly. It was a sunny night, and a thunderbolt hit the Wude Hall. Rumors spread all over the world, and Yang Guang's good mood before the trip was instantly destroyed, it was terrible!
At this time, Su Wei stepped forward to make a fuss, Yang Guang was naturally worried that he would make a big fuss by taking advantage of the lightning strike to prevent him from visiting Jiangdu!
Sure enough, Su Wei said solemnly: "Your Majesty, at Zishi three days ago, lightning struck Wude Hall in a rainless day, causing serious damage to the corner of the northwest hall. It is not advisable to go out to patrol the capital again, so as not to waste people's money and increase people's grievances."

Yang Guang said with a gloomy expression, "Then what does Su Qing's family think I should do at this time?"

"The emperor should issue an edict of guilt at this time to appease the hearts of the people!" Su Wei bit the bullet and said.

As soon as this remark came out, all the civil and military ministers in the hall gasped. Su Nayan really dared to say that this is a rhythm that is too long.

Sure enough, Yang Guang was furious, and said sharply: "It's ridiculous, how dare you ask Mr. Su, what's my crime? What's my crime?"

Yang Guang asked twice in a row, it can be seen that he was very angry and excited!
Su Wei trembled slightly, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, but this time was the best chance to stop the emperor from going on tour, so he said bravely: "Since the heaven has issued a warning, the emperor should reflect on himself."

Yang Guang sneered and said, "I have to examine myself in everything. What is the use of your words? I don't know what crime I have committed. Please correct me, Mr. Su. Isn't this your duty as a minister?"

Su Wei fell to his knees on the ground with a thud, and said tremblingly: "I dare not, the emperor please calm down, I am not saying that you are guilty, the emperor."

"Since I am innocent, why should I issue an edict of guilt? Master Su can teach me?" Yang Guang's eyes became more and more stern, and the sarcasm on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

Under the powerful pressure of Yang Guang as the monarch, Su Wei was already sweating at the moment, and the only remaining scholarly spirit was vented for thousands of miles. He bowed his head and said: "I...are reckless, please punish me!"

"Master Su is just reckless? Why do I feel that I am a prisoner and Master Su is the emperor?" Yang Guang said coldly.

Su Wei's complexion changed terribly, his whole body trembled, he could not stand up and said: "I don't dare, I am old and foolish, I am arrogant and indulgent, I am guilty!"

Su Wei, the only outspoken admonisher in the Manchu Dynasty, completely succumbed under Yang Guang's pressure, and the rest of the people naturally dared not speak out.

Yang Guang regained his composure, and said indifferently: "Su Qing's family is indeed old, because you have worked hard for the country all your life, this time I will not pursue your crime of deceiving the emperor, go home and have a good rest for a while."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Su Wei kowtowed to the throne as if he was being pardoned, then stood up, backed out of the main hall entrance, turned around, and walked out of Qianyang Hall in a lonely manner.

Su Wei first served the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and later assisted Sui Wendi Yang Jian. He was highly valued by the two kings of the Sui Dynasty. He was extremely powerful and dominated the political arena for decades. Today, the curtain call finally came. He left alone in the eyes of everyone, leaving everyone alone. back.

This is the end of the last admonisher around Yang Guang, and now only Yu Shiji, Yu Wenshu, Pei Yun, and Wang Shichong are left.

Although Yang Guang did not dismiss Su Wei, everyone knew that Su Wei's official career was over!

Yang Guang sent Su Wei away, glanced at the ministers in the hall again, and said calmly: "Who else wants to play?"

Yang Guang asked three times, but no one made a sound, but Yang Guang seemed to suddenly become interested, and instead of announcing his retreat, he looked at Taishiling and said calmly, "Where is Taishiling?"

Tai Shiling trembled slightly, secretly called out bad luck, and went out to salute: "The minister is here!"

Yang Guang said indifferently: "Three days ago, at Zishi, the lightning struck the Hall of Martial Virtue. Suna said it was a bad omen, and asked me to cancel the trip to Jiangdu. What do you think?"

The Taishi Supervisor is in charge of astronomy and calendar, that is to say, such things as lightning strikes Wude Hall are under the supervision of Taishi, and Taishi Ling must give an explanation.

Tai Shi Ling's forehead was sweating profusely, he didn't want to follow in Su Wei's footsteps, he hesitated for a long time before he had an idea: "Master Su is alarmist, although the Hall of Martial Virtue was struck by lightning, but the damage is not serious, and Chen Yeguan As for the celestial phenomenon, I found that Emperor Ziwei's star is radiant and stable like Mount Tai, so it is expected to be fine, and it will not affect the emperor's trip this time."

"Then why did the lightning strike Wude Hall before I left?" Yang Guang was obviously not satisfied with this reason, so he continued to ask, asking Tai Shiling to give a convincing reason.

This Taishi Ling is also talented, and immediately said: "Everything that happens in the world, there are omens in the sky. The location where the lightning strikes the Hall of Martial Virtue happens to be in the northwest corner, and the Hall of Martial Virtue is the main weapon. There will be wars, and we need to beware of the Turkic attack, but this will not affect the east, so the emperor's tour of Jiangdu will be fine!"

Only then did Yang Guang nodded in satisfaction and said: "What Taishi Ling said is worthy of my vigilance, well, Pei Aiqing, pass on my will, order Taiyuan to stay behind Li Yuan, and Wang Rengong, governor of Mayi County, to rectify his military equipment, and be on guard against Turks going south to invade and plunder." .”

Pei Ju, the servant of Huangmen, hurriedly came out and agreed!

Yang Guang nodded, and said again: "Where is Jiangdu Tongshou Wang Shichong?"

Wang Shichong immediately walked out again, knelt and slid to the throne, kowtowed obsequiously and said: "The minister is here!"

Yang Guang ordered: "On the [-]th of August, when we start our trip to Jiangdu, Wang Aiqing will lead the army to open the way and sweep away all the young people along the way."

"The minister is under the command, and I guarantee that not even a single fly will fly over to disturb the holy car!" Wang Shichong said confidently.

Yang Guang said with satisfaction: "Retire and prepare well. I believe in Wang Aiqing's talent as a leader."

Wang Shichong kissed the sole of Yang Guang's shoe again before retreating. This guy put his posture so low, and he was a dog-licking dog. No wonder Yang Guang would favor him. He was simply the Sui Dynasty version of An Lushan.

So far, Yang Guang has cleared away all obstacles that prevented him from touring Jiangdu, everything is ready, and the day will come.

As everyone knows, Yang Guang's visit to Jiangdu this time will last him a lifetime!
It is just that, a piece of green hills and quiet scenery, the fields of the predecessors are collected by the descendants.The descendants are not happy to accept it, and there are others who will receive it later.
