At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 611
"Caught, caught!"

Amid the cheers of the rebels, the terrified Yang Guang and Empress Xiao were escorted out of Yongxiang by Linghu Xingda, the school captain of Xiaoguo, and sent to Sima Dekan, the general of Huben Lang.

Sima Dekan looked at Yang Guang, who was usually aloof, but shrank like a quail at the moment, and felt extremely happy in his heart. When he saw Empress Xiao, who was pale in color, he was even more excited like a chicken blood, and couldn't help laughing loudly. , this mutiny went smoothly beyond imagination, Yang Xuangan did what he couldn't do even with his family and life, but he did it in one night, it's fate!

Yang Guang regained his composure, and asked sharply, "Sima Dekan, are you going to kill the king?"

Sima Dekan said indifferently: "I dare not, it's just that the soldiers are eager to return, and I just want to send your majesty back to the capital."

Yang Guang felt at ease when he heard the words, and calmed down, he said: "I also understand the feelings of the soldiers who miss their homeland, you take people out of the palace immediately, and I will make an order to return to the west tomorrow."

Sima Dekan sneered in his heart, you think I'm an idiot, if you retreat out of the palace at this time, maybe tomorrow my Sima Dekan's head will have moved, he smiled and said: "I can't decide this matter, please trouble the emperor here." waiting."

After Sima Dekan finished speaking, he ordered the school lieutenant Linghu Xingda to take Yang Guang and Empress Xiao back to the palace and imprison them, and then there will be a big cleansing.

Sima Dekan, Yuan Li, and Pei Qiantong sealed off the gate of the palace, surrendered all the guards and drove them out of the palace, and arrested all ministers of honor and relatives and took them to the court hall to wait. Kill on the spot.

At dawn, the rebel army finally completely controlled the entire Jiangdu Palace, killing almost all the royal family and foreign relatives, including Yang Guang's second son Yang Wei.

The dawn of the first month was very cold, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. The ministers in the court were anxiously waiting for the verdict of fate. So far, many people still don't know who the mastermind of this mutiny is.

At this moment, Yu Wenhuaji seemed to have drunk two catties of fine wine, top-heavy and light, every step he took was like standing on cotton, excited and nervous at the same time!
It was successful, it was really successful, it was like a dream!
The reason why Yu Wenhuaji became the leader of the rebel army was to drive ducks to the shelves. On the night of the operation, he was so nervous that he almost peed out. If it hadn’t been forced by Sima Dekan and others, he might not even be able to walk. However, This mutiny went smoothly beyond imagination, and it succeeded in one fell swoop. Seeing that the fruitful fruits of victory were in front of him, Yu Wenhuaji was so excited that he almost couldn't walk again.

This time it's really smoke from the ancestral grave, maybe you can get an emperor if you don't know what to do, that's great!

Unknowingly, Yu Wenhuaji finally came to the court hall, Sima Dekan, Yuan Li, Pei Qiantong, Ma Wenju and other rebel generals were already waiting here, when they saw Yu Wenhuaji, they immediately went forward and saluted: " See the Prime Minister!"

Yu Wenhuaji became even more elated, waved his hands leisurely and said, "Excuse me, are all the officials here?"

Sima Dekan respectfully said: "Everyone is here, I'm waiting for the prime minister to give you a lecture, but all the officials are panicked at the moment, how about letting the emperor come out to comfort everyone?"

Yu Wenhuaji's complexion darkened, and he said coldly: "What is this foolish gentleman doing to confuse people? This move is extremely stupid and unnecessary. It is serious to finish him quickly. As the saying goes, there is no turning back when you start a bow. From the moment we led our troops into the palace, there is no turning back, keeping the life of the faint king will only lead to long nights and dreams, if something happens, none of us can even think about living."

Sima Dekan said awe-inspiringly: "The prime minister is wise, you must kill Yang Guang quickly."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" Yu Wenhuaji urged.

Sima Dekan and Pei Qiantong exchanged glances, and immediately rushed to Yang Guang's bedroom.At this moment, Yang Guang was walking back and forth in the bedroom uneasily, while Empress Xiao was holding her son Zhao Wang Yang Gao, who was only 11 years old, and was crying non-stop.

At this time, Sima Dekan, Pei Qiantong, and Ma Wenju rushed in with weapons in their hands. When Yang Guang saw it, his heart turned cold and he asked tremblingly, "Where is Yu Shiji? Let him come to see me."

Ma Wenju sneered and said, "Yu Shiji, a courtier who only knows how to flatter horses and beards, has been shown to the public by us." After speaking, he drew out his waist knife.

Zhao Wang Yang Gao was so frightened that he burst into tears. Empress Xiao's complexion was as pale as paper, and she fell to the ground and shivered.

Yang Guang calmed down at this moment, sighed and said, "If you want to kill me, why should I be guilty?"

Ma Wenju eloquently said: "The emperor left the ancestral temple and ignored it, went on tours and had fun, carried out militarism abroad, conquered Goguryeo three times, and was extravagant and extravagant at home. Now the whole nation is struggling to live, and thieves are swarming up, but you continue to employ traitors, cover up your faults, narrow-minded, and refuse to accept advice, all these are your faults!"

Yang Guang sternly said: "Even though I am sorry for the people, you have followed me to enjoy the glory and wealth, and the fish and meat people are also part of you. May I ask you what qualifications you have to accuse me?"

Ma Wenju's momentum suddenly weakened, his face was red and his ears were red, and he yelled: "Fun Lord, you are still stubborn when you are about to die!"

Yang Guang glanced at Ma Wenju contemptuously, then looked at Sima Dekan, and asked, "Sima Dekan, who is the mastermind? Tell the truth!"

After all, Yang Guang had been in the top position for a long time, and he still had a lot of momentum when he questioned him. Sima Dekan was a little timid when he was staring at him, and said falteringly: "There are too many people in the world who hate you, and it's not just one person. Everyone is the mastermind."

Yang Guang's eyes flashed, he approached step by step, and said coldly: "Sima Dekan, I know you very well, you don't have the courage to rebel, say, who ordered you to do it?"

Sima Dekan was taken aback, couldn't help but took a step back, and stammered: "No... No one ordered it."

Seeing that Sima Dekan's aura was overwhelmed by Yang Guang, Pei Qiantong couldn't help secretly worrying. Suddenly seeing King Zhao Yang Gao crying there, he drew a knife and beheaded Yang Gao. The blood splashed both Yang Guang and Empress Xiao. .

"Ah!" Empress Xiao screamed in horror, stepping back frequently with hands and feet.

Pei Qiantong wiped the bloody waist knife on Yang Gao's small body, and cursed: "Crying for your uncle, you're so noisy!"

Yang Guang's face was bloodstained and pale, and the momentum he had accumulated just now disappeared. Sima Dekan came back to his senses, feeling ashamed and angry at the fact that he was frightened by Yang Guang just now.

Pei Qiantong handed the knife to Sima Dekan, and said, "General Sima, you must not stop being disturbed by it, don't hesitate!"

Sima Dekan took the knife, his eyes gradually became fierce, he gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Guang, the latter obviously knew that he would die today, he said in a deep voice: "I am the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven should die like a Son of Heaven, How can you add a sword to your body and take dove (poison) wine!"

Because Sima Dekan was intimidated by Yang Guang's aura just now, he felt that he had lost face in front of his subordinates, and said coldly: "No, that would be too cheap for you." After speaking, he took off his belt and threw it to the captain Linghuxing Da, shouted: "Go, use my general's belt to strangle this stupid king to death."

Linghu Xingda took the belt, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and kicked Yang Guang over, and then strangled him to death with the belt around his neck.

A generation of king Yang Guang ended his life humiliatingly in this way, and the heyday of Sui II ended, enjoying the country for only 37 years!

Empress Xiao was frightened, until Sima Dekan and others walked out of the bedroom, and then she came back to her senses, threw herself on her husband and son and cried loudly, heartbroken, the maids and eunuchs had long since disappeared. Only one widow was left crying bitterly while touching the corpse, and the heart-piercing cry echoed repeatedly in the empty hall for a long time.

Empress Xiao didn't know how long she had been crying, her voice was hoarse from crying, she fell asleep on the corpse when she was tired from crying, and continued to cry when she woke up, finally a palace maid who couldn't bear it came back to comfort her.

On the second day, Empress Xiao and several court ladies dismantled the dragon bed, asked the rebels to borrow tools, nailed two simple thin coffins with the wooden planks of the dragon bed, and took the bodies of Yang Guang and Zhao Wang Yang Gao and buried them hastily. Under the Liuzhu hall in the west courtyard.

It is exactly: a king who is extravagant and extravagant, will mourn when he dies and the country is destroyed.

The great cause has not paid off the ambition of life, and the thin coffin is buried in the lonely hall.
