At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 667 Suffering Emperor
Yang Tong, the King of Yue, is 13 years old this year. He has a gentle personality, but after undergoing great changes, he has gradually become taciturn. He looks young and mature, but there is often a trace of melancholy in his brows that does not match his age. It is obvious that he is not happy. He should be a boy like the wind, but he lives as sad as the rain.

Yang Tong has two uncles and one elder brother. He never thought that he would be the emperor one day, but now he has become the emperor, but the emperor is very aggrieved. He doesn't want to be the emperor, but he has to. .

In the past, when the seven nobles co-assisted the government, he barely had a little power and was able to talk about things, but since Wang Shichong took power, he has no power at all, and he has been confined. He can't even leave the palace for half a step. Worrying about his own life all the time, he is precarious and has trouble sleeping and eating.

His cousin Yang Hao was proclaimed emperor by Yu Wenhuaji, but he was killed by Yu Wenhuajijiu not long after; his elder brother Yang You was proclaimed emperor by Li Yuan, and he had to abdicate the throne not long after. Give it to Li Yuan, now I don't know if it's life or death!
Yang Tong felt that he was going too soon, so he gave Wang Shichong the seat of meditation, and the ending was a pot of dove wine.He was very scared, he didn't want to die, he hated being the emperor, if he could choose, he would rather not be reincarnated into the imperial family in his life.

Although the emperor's family was well-clothed and well-fed, it was too cruel, allowing him to taste all the dangers of the world, the cruelty of power struggles and the filth of human nature at a young age.

Now Wang Shichong is getting more and more arrogant, and the members of the Wang family are also getting more and more arrogant. Although he is the emperor in name, a dog of the Wang family can bully him. He hates Wang Shichong and everyone in the Wang family, but there is nothing he can do. Dare to be angry but dare not speak.

It was snowing outside, the weather was very cold, and the house was very cold. Because there was no stove, even the light was very dim. There was only one candle burning in the huge hall. The hateful inner historian Wang Shiyun cut all his expenses. Now He can't even afford to use the stove and candles. Is this the emperor's life?
It's so ridiculous, so hateful, so deceiving!

Yang Tong sat on the ground in the cold hall, hugged his legs and curled up into a ball, recalling the carefree days in Yue Wang's mansion, he couldn't help but burst into tears, 13 years old, he has endured too much for his age. Should bear the weight!
At this time, a light came from the entrance of the hall, and a maid and an old woman walked in carrying a lantern, followed by two guards, who carried a stove with burning charcoal inside.

That old nanny was Yang Tong's wet nurse when he was a child. Seeing the latter sitting on the ground and curling up into a ball, she couldn't help being surprised, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Oh, why is the emperor sitting on the ground? Where are all the damn servants hiding?" I'm too lazy, Your Majesty, get up quickly, I've caught a cold." After speaking, he went to help Yang Tong.

With a sore nose, Yang Tong raised his blurry teary eyes and said, "Madam Zheng, have you come to see me?"

Seeing this, the old mama couldn't help but burst into tears, she burst into tears, and supported Yang Tong distressedly, and said, "The queen mother asked the servants to visit the emperor, and also asked the servants to bring a stove and some food. Let's eat."

The two guards put down the stove, and the maid opened the food box and took out several steaming dishes inside.Yang Tong's heart warmed up, he wiped away his tears, took the bowl and chopsticks and started to wolf down, he was really hungry, he hadn't had such a good meal for a long time.

The old mother and the palace maid were very sad when they saw this, the two guards looked at each other, they were all angry, and the veins on their hands were bulging, it is unreasonable, Wang Shiyun, this old bastard, treats the emperor like this, I really want to kill this old thief .

These two guards were the original guards of the Yue Palace, Su Dingtai and Wei Dazhong. Su Dingtai was Su Dingyue's younger brother and had friendship with Gao Bufan.After the King of Yue was crowned emperor, Su Dingtai and Wei Dazhong also changed from guards of the palace to guards in the palace. However, after Wang Shichong assumed power, he replaced all the people around Yang Tong, and Su Dingtai and Wei Dazhong were no exception. .

Now Su Dingtai and Wei Dazhong are working in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and the Empress Dowager is Yang Tong's biological mother, Liu Liangdi.

"Eat slowly, your majesty, be careful of choking!" Madam Zheng reminded while wiping her tears.

While eating, Yang Tong asked, "Is the mother all right now?"

Mother Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is well, eating well and dressing well."

Yang Tong felt a little uncomfortable, and asked casually, "When will the queen mother come to see me?"

The palace lady spoke quickly and replied: "The queen mother was going to visit the emperor in person, but it happened that Neishi Ling came..."

Before the maid could finish her sentence, she caught Madam Zheng's sharp eyes and quickly shut her mouth.Yang Tong was shocked suddenly, his face turned pale, his hands holding the chopsticks were tightly clenched, his eyes seemed to have two flames burning, and then he silently put down the chopsticks.

Mother Zheng said worriedly: "Why doesn't the emperor eat?"

Yang Tong said flatly: "Take it back, I won't eat it!"

"This...why is this?"

"It's too dirty, I can't eat it!" Yang Tong hurriedly stood up, turned around and walked away.

Madam Zheng was stunned for a moment, then heaved a long sigh, and ordered: "Stay here, and whenever the emperor wants to eat, just warm it up for him."

Su Dingtai and Wei Dazhong nodded and replied: "Understood, we will take good care of the emperor, Madam Zheng, go slowly."

The old nanny glanced at Yang Tong who had disappeared into the darkness, shook her head helplessly, took the maid to leave, and went back to report to Empress Dowager Liu Liangdi.

"Ahhh!" There was a beast-like roar and the sound of hitting the wall from the back of the hall, Su Dingtai and Wei Dazhong's complexion changed, and they rushed to the back, and they saw Yang Tong bumping his head against the wall, and his face was covered in blood.

Su Dingqin and Wei Dazhong were shocked, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and said anxiously: "What is the emperor doing, why are you hurting yourself?"

Yang Tong gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to kill this adulterer and adulterer."

Su Dingtai and Wei Dazhong thumped, the emperor already knew about the relationship between Wang Shiyun and the Queen Mother.

Yang Tong stared at the two of Su Wei with a ferocious expression: "You all know about it, right? The whole palace knows about it, right?"

Su Dingtai and Wei Dazhong remained silent.

"The adulterer and the adulterer will die a terrible death!" Yang Tong looked insane, but his heart was bleeding.

For a long time, his mother Liu Liangdi has always been a model of a good wife and mother in his mind. His father Yang Zhao died early. Both he and his brother Yang You grew up under the careful care of his mother. His mother's reputation has always been very good, if it was not an accident Seeing it with his own eyes, he didn't even want to believe that his mother would do such a scandal with a bastard like Wang Shiyun.

Su Dingtai and Wei Dazhong stopped Yang Yu's bleeding, bandaged the wound on his forehead, returned to the dormitory and closed the door, then knelt down on the ground with red eyes and said: "Your Majesty has suffered, and I hope that the Emperor will take care of the dragon body. Only then will I have the opportunity to kill the thieves who defiled the Empress Dowager."

Yang Tong took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Su Dingtai said: "Now Wang Shichong monopolizes the power, covering the sky with one hand, coveting the big position, Wang Shiyun is a dog, and threatens the emperor's life, the queen mother can only submit to him, the queen mother bears such a heavy humiliation, I hope the emperor will cherish himself, and don't let down the painstaking efforts of the queen mother. "

Hearing the words, Yang Tong burst into tears, shook his head and said, "I would rather die than my mother suffer such humiliation. What's more, my mother's move is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger. As long as the time comes, Wang Shichong will still seize the throne, or If she will kill me, why bother to come here!"

"At least it can make the emperor's situation better. Now Wang Shiyun has agreed that the two of his subordinates will return to serve the emperor." Su Dingtai said in a low voice.

Yang Tong said painfully: "I would rather die immediately, I have lived enough."

"Your Majesty, don't say that, as long as you are alive, there is hope." Su Dingtai comforted.

Yang Tong smiled miserably and said, "Hope? Where is the hope? The whole world is full of thieves who covet the Great Sui Dynasty. They wish that everyone surnamed Yang will die. Even if I escape from the palace, I will only live for a while."

Su Dingtai and Wei Dazhong looked at each other, and said in a low voice, "Does your majesty still remember Gao Changqing?"

Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Gao Changqing is just one of the heroes who coveted the Great Sui Dynasty, why did you mention him?"

Su Dingtai shook his head and said: "Gao Changqing is different from other heroes. He values ​​friendship, has a big heart, and can tolerate others. He will never be as insidious and narrow-minded as Wang Shichong. He will definitely treat the emperor and queen mother kindly. I heard that Gao Changqing captured and killed him." After we arrived at Yu Wenhuaji, the Empress Dowager was sent to live in Gaoyang Palace, and she has always been very respectful and never neglected."

Wei Dazhong nodded and said: "Furthermore, Gao Changqing's King of Qi was proclaimed by the late Emperor himself, and now those big lords are proclaimed emperors, but Gao Changqing still regards himself as the King of Qi, and he is very respectful to the Sui Dynasty."

Yang Tong fell silent for a moment, looked at Su Wei and the two suspiciously, and asked with a frown, "You...Could it be that Gao Changqing is here?"

Su Dingtai gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "That's right, King Qi is now in Luoyang City."

Yang Tong's complexion changed slightly, and he blurted out, "Gao Changqing wants to plot against Luoyang?"

Su Dingtai nodded: "The king of Qi came here to save you, the emperor, and Director Qing entrusted him. Even if the emperor can't trust King Qi, he can trust Director Qing, right?"

"Aunt Qing!" Yang Tong felt excited, but at this time he was no longer a nine-year-old kid who didn't know anything. Luoyang is true, I'm afraid there is a place to rely on me to save me."

Wei Dazhong and Su Dingtai looked at each other, they were silent, the Sui Dynasty was already in name only, and the change of ownership was a foregone conclusion. With Gao Changqing's strength, he had a chance to rule the world. Even if he won Luoyang, he would definitely not let the King of Yue For a high position, even if he is willing, the generals under his command will not be willing.

Yang Tong suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, to me, it doesn't matter who sits in the country. As long as Gao Changqing can help me kill Wang Shiyun and Wang Shichong, it doesn't matter if I give up that dragon chair. Tell me, how does Gao Changqing need my cooperation?" ?”

Su Dingtai leaned close to Yang Tong's ear and whispered.
