At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 608 Jiangdu Palace Change

Today is the Lantern Festival on the [-]th day of the first lunar month. Yang Guang set off lanterns in the Jiangdu Palace as in previous years, and invited the harem concubines and favored ministers to drink and have fun together, watching the lanterns and the moon.

During the banquet, Yang Guang also composed an impromptu poem, which said: Falun turns in the sky, and the sound of Brahma comes from the sky.Thousands of lights illuminate the tree, and the seven branches of the flower flame bloom.The moon shadow condenses the flowing water, and the spring breeze contains night plums.The banner moves to the golden land, and the bell sends out the glazed platform.

In fact, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the Sui Dynasty was not called the Lantern Festival, nor was it called the Shangyuan Festival.

Yang Guang may have been on a whim, and suddenly remembered the good words of the late old minister Yu Wenshu, so tonight's dinner actually invited Yu Wenhuaji and Yu Wenzhihe brothers.

Yang Guang's moon-appreciating dinner didn't end until midnight, and the ministers withdrew and left one after another. Yu Wenhua and his brothers also took advantage of the moonlight to step out of the gate of Jiangdu Palace, and were about to board the car. A person came out on foot, and went straight to Yu Wenhua and the two brothers.

"Who is it? Stop!" Yu Wenhuaji's entourage was vigilant, and immediately sternly stopped and stepped forward to intercept him.

"It's me, Sima Dekan!" The visitor stood still and said in a deep voice.

Yu Wenhua and Dun Sheng looked at him, and sure enough, he saw Huben Lang wearing Sima Dekan all over his body, with a knife hanging on his waist, standing quietly about ten feet away, he couldn't help but felt a sudden heart attack, and said with a smile: "So it's General Sima, I don’t know what to teach?”

Sima De said calmly: "It's nothing important, it's just that I just finished inspecting Miyagi, and taking advantage of the moonlight, I invited a few friends to drink and enjoy the moon together. Would you like to go have a drink or two with Yuwen Shaoqing?"

"It's...it's late at night now, but it's okay, it's rare that General Sima Dekan kindly invites you." Yu Wenhuaji originally wanted to decline, but seeing Sima Dekan's eyes flickering, he pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and he couldn't help hitting him cleverly. With a shudder, he quickly changed his mind and agreed.

As soon as Yu Wenzhi and that guy heard that there was wine to drink, they immediately said: "General Sima Dekan only invites elder brother, not me, isn't it too much favoritism?"

Sima Dekan smiled and said: "If Second Master Yuwen is willing to show his face, it's okay to have a drink or two together, anyway, the pair of chopsticks are not bad."

"Hehe, that's about the same. I, Yu Wenzhiji, just drank the imperial wine not long ago. I think General Sima is still qualified to drink this wine." Yu Wenzhiji said triumphantly.

But Yu Wenhuaji scolded sharply: "Shut up, there is no place for you to talk here, go home."

Yu Wenzhiji was taken aback. He didn't understand why his eldest brother suddenly became so angry, but he was afraid of Yu Wenhuaji. After the death of his father Yu Wenshu, Yu Wenhuaji became the head of the Yuwen family. Yu Wenhuaji's fear was even worse, he didn't dare to fart immediately, boarded the carriage and left in desperation.

Sima Dekan laughed and said: "Elder brother is like a father, Yuwen Shaoqing is really majestic and prestige to rule the second master into obedience."

Yu Wenhuaji said with a smile: "My second brother is dozens of years old and still doesn't care about anything, but General Sima laughed at him. I don't know where to drink. Please ask General Sima to lead the way."

Sima Dekan said: "It's not far from here, Yuwen Shaoqing, please come with me."

Yu Wenhuaji had no choice but to follow Sima Dekan nervously, walking along the palace wall, not far away was the Right Ye Gate, where the guards normally enter and leave the palace.

Let's say that Sima Dekan took Yu Wenhua and entered Jiangdu Palace from Youye Gate to the place where the guards on duty usually rest.Yu Wenhuaji hesitated when he saw it, and stopped, Sima Dekan said indifferently: "Why did Yuwen Shaoqing stop? Could it be that the place is too simple?"

Sima Dekan's eyes gleamed coldly, murderous intent loomed, Yu Wenhuaji felt a chill in his heart, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in.

Sure enough, a sumptuous feast was prepared in the house, and there were already two people waiting there, it was Hu Benlang, Jiang Yuanli, and Jianmen Zhige Pei Qiantong, both of them were senior officers in charge of the guards.

"Ouch, Yuwen Shaoqing is here!" Yuan Li stood up and said with a smile.

"Let me just say, Yuwen Shaoqing will definitely appreciate it." Pei Qiantong also smiled and got up to greet him very enthusiastically.

Yu Wenhuaji knew what was going on as soon as he saw this battle, and he felt a little bit regretful that he had pushed Sima De to fight for a big ticket that day, and now he actually included himself in it.

Sima Dekan stared at Yu Wenhuaji with piercing eyes and said, "Yuwen Shaoqing, please sit down!"

Yufang Huaji had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit down, and said with a smile: "The generals are really very elegant, Huaji is flattered."

Yuan Li poured a glass of wine for Yu Wenhuaji, and then said with a pun: "The wine we prepared must not be as good as the emperor's imperial wine, Yuwen Shaoqing must not be disgusted with it."

Being stared at by the three of them, Yu Wenhuaji couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle, he quickly picked up the wine and drank it down, and said with a smile: "This wine seems to be better than Yujiu."

Sima Dekan and the three looked at each other when they heard the words, and they were a little relieved.

Originally, Yu Wenshu's family had declined since Yu Wenshu's death, but tonight the emperor had a sudden whim and invited Yu Wenhuaji into the palace to drink and enjoy the moon. The matter was exposed, so I was worried all night, and almost acted preemptively. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, and Yu Wenhuaji didn't seem to be a "second-five boy".

However, Sima Dekan was still worried. He would "invite" Yu Huaji to come as soon as the dinner was over. rebellion.

Let's say that after the four of them drank for three rounds, Sima De's eye circles were slightly red, and he said in a crazy mood: "Yuwen Shaoqing, do you still remember what you said that night? After careful consideration these days, General Ben discussed with General Yuan and General Pei again. After a while, they all felt that it was very feasible.

The soldiers under our command are all from Guanzhong, and now everyone is eager to return, and they don't want to stay in Jiangdu anymore, but the emperor still wants to make Danyang the capital, everyone can't wait to escape immediately, the crowd is raging, and the hearts of the people want it.

As Yuwen Shaoqing said, if such a golden opportunity is just for the sake of some property, it would be too worthless. It would be better to be a big one, and then you will be crowned king and public, and your name will be left to future generations. Wouldn't it be great? "

Yu Wenhuaji couldn't help but turn slightly pale. The reason why he urged Sima De to rebel was entirely because he hated Yang Guang's coldness and ruthlessness, which caused his father Yu Wenshu to die in depression, but when things came to an end, he was afraid again. But the felony of ransacking the family and exterminating the family, if it fails, the end will be very miserable. He has eaten the meat of Yang Xuangan and Hu Sizheng, and he still can't forget the time when Hu Sizheng was tied to a pillar and shot into a hedgehog. After one scene, Hu Sizheng's body was dismembered and thrown into a pot to make broth for everyone to drink.

Sima Dekan glanced at Yu Wenhuaji, and said slightly mockingly: "Could it be that Yuwen Shaoqing is scared? Weren't you impassioned that night, and you mocked the general as worthless?"

Yu Wenhuaji couldn't help but blushed, and said stiffly: "Fart, who said that I'm afraid, just do it, whoever is afraid of whom!"

Yuan Li and Pei Qiantong gave a thumbs up with a smile and said, "Yuwen Shaoqing is so courageous and courageous!"

Sima Dekan also applauded and said: "Okay, this is a real hero. As the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head. If you want to do great things, how can a group of dragons have no leader, so this general recommended Yuwen Shaoqing as the leader. What do you think?"

Yuan Li and Pei Qiantong immediately agreed: "Second, Yuwen Shaoqing has a high status and a wide network, so he should be the leader!"

"No, no, it's hard to take on a big job because you have little talent and little learning... Well, since you are showing love, you are being disrespectful." Yu Wenhuaji wanted to refuse, but was stared at by the three men with fierce eyes. His lower legs were shaking non-stop.

When Sima Dekan and the three saw that Yu Wenhuaji had agreed, they couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, so they revealed the palace change plan they had already discussed. Crashed, completely lost the ability to think, Sima Dekan nodded at everything.

In this way, a palace change plan recorded in the annals of history was finalized, and the time was set for tomorrow night.

As the saying goes, nights are long and dreams are many, in order to prevent Yu Wenhua and this coward from repeating themselves, it is natural that the sooner the better.
