On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 369 Renshou Palace Transformation ([-])

Chaos broke out in Renshou Palace.

Eunuchs and maidservants in a panic can be seen everywhere, and fear pervades the palace.

Yang Jian didn't wait for the eldest son Yang Yong, only to see the crown prince Zuo concubine and servant of Huangmen Zhang Heng leading the soldiers in.

Seeing Mrs. Xuanhua, Mrs. Hongzheng, Mrs. Ronghua, and all the harem concubines being driven out of the bedroom, Yang Qiang, who was lying on the hospital bed, endured his anger and said in a deep voice:

"Where is Yang Guang?"

Zhang Heng saluted and said:
"Your Majesty entrusts the country to the crown prince, and the crown prince will naturally handle state affairs in the Great Treasure Hall, and specially order the humble ministers to come to attend to the illness."

Yang Jian was furious and shouted:

"Let Yang Guang come to see me!"

Yang Jian knew that he had lost control of the situation, and now he just wanted to call Yang Guang over and scold him face to face, to vent his resentment.

As usual, whenever Yang Jian gets angry, no matter who the person in front of him is, he must kneel down and plead guilty, but Zhang Heng said calmly:
"Your Majesty has ministers as companions, that's enough, why bother the prince."

Yang Jian closed his eyes, and he recalled what he did in the past.

In order to promote Yi Chu, he did not hesitate to kill heroes unjustly; in order to stabilize Yang Guang's position as prince, he also acquiesced in the Yang Xiu's witchcraft case which was full of loopholes.

Yang Jian's heart was twisted like a knife, especially what the secret letter said earlier, Yang Guang planned to kill all his brothers after his death, which made Yang Jian even more regretful:

What kind of animal did I give birth to, and I actually helped him to the position of prince.

Until now, Yang Jian didn't know that the secret letter was forged by Liu Shu, and even Yang Guang didn't investigate why Yang Jian suddenly repented when he was dying.

These things no longer matter.

When Zhang Heng rushed to the Great Treasure Hall in a panic, he informed Yang Jian of his death.

Knowing that his father had passed away, Yang Guang cried heart-rendingly.

From the Great Treasure Hall to Yang Jian's bedroom, his tears were shed along the way.

Yang Jian didn't walk peacefully, his expression was ferocious, his eyes were wide open, and the bed was messy, as if he was struggling before he died.

Whether Yang Jian died suddenly due to illness, or Zhang Heng killed the king, it cannot change the fact that Yang Jian, the founder of the Sui Dynasty and the hero of a generation, is dead.

The new helm of the empire is about to step onto the stage, but before that, Yang Guang orders his confidant eunuch to bring a small gold box to the place where the concubines are being held.

Mrs. Xuanhua took the locket tremblingly, terrified in her heart, she dared not open it for a long time.

The concubines behind him embraced each other and wept even more, they all thought it was the poisonous wine sent by Yang Guang.

Mrs. Xuanhua asked her younger sister Mrs. Hongzheng in a tearful voice:
"We are not guilty of the prince. In the past, we received the prince's golden snake, golden camel and other utensils, and we also spoke well for the prince. Why did we end up today?"

Madam Hongzheng couldn't answer, so she could only sob and say:

"This poisonous wine, sister should drink first."

This sentence made the concubines in the room cry loudly, and the eunuch urged Mrs. Xuanhua to remove the seal written by Yang Guang as soon as possible.

Madam Xuanhua opened the gold box with trembling hands, but her expression changed immediately.

The eunuch laughed and said:

"Ma'am, I don't thank you yet."

The concubines saw the clue from the envoy's expression and rushed forward one after another, but they saw that there was no poisonous wine or white silk in the gold box, only a few concentric knots.

They celebrated their escape from death.

However, Mrs. Xuanhua has been reluctant to thank her for a long time. She is afraid of death, but she also values ​​fame and integrity.

Nanchen was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty, and she and her family were taken captive to the north. Mrs. Xuanhua also hated Yang Jian, but his love for her was beyond doubt. After Dugu Jialuo died, Mrs. Xuanhua was the most favored. palace.

Now that Yang Jian had just passed away, Yang Guang sent a sympathy knot. Such a beastly act also made Mrs. Xuanhua resentful.

Seeing that Mrs. Xuanhua was unwilling to thank her, the atmosphere in the hall turned sharply downwards. The eunuch persuaded:

"The prince's kindness, why doesn't the madam appreciate it? Could it be that the people in the palace really want to die for the saint with you?"

As soon as this remark came out, the concubines were terrified, and they forced Mrs. Xuanhua to accept the sympathy knot. Only Mrs. Hongzheng was protecting her sister:

"If you are greedy for glory and wealth, you can just ask the prince to favor you. Why are you persecuting my sister?"

Seeing that Mrs. Xuanhua was unwilling to let go, the concubines knew that it was impossible to be tough and could only be soft. They all knelt in front of her, crying that they did not want to be buried, and begged Mrs. Xuanhua to save them.

Mrs. Xuanhua didn't care about the life and death of these people. She turned her eyes to her sister who had been dependent on her for so many years, and finally closed her eyes in tears.

After a long time, Mrs. Xuanhua, with tears in her eyes, thanked Yang Guang for her kindness and accepted the sympathy knot in the gold box.

Holding the lantern, the eunuch led the way and brought Mrs. Xuanhua to Yang Guang.

That night, she was raped by Yang Guang.

Yang Guang didn't just want to steam his mother. After Yang Jian's death, he blocked the news and kept the funeral secret.

In the fourth year of Renshou (604 A.D.), on June 28, Qu Tu rushed to Jinyang to proclaim the decree.

Yang Liang didn't know the news of Yang Jian's death at this time, and now that his father called him into the court, Yang Liang didn't hesitate.

After kneeling to accept the edict, Yang Liang discovered two loopholes.

It turned out that Yang Jian had made a secret agreement with Yang Liang:
"If you are called, add a point next to the imperial edict, and you must match the Yulin talisman before you can answer the call." '

Now that there is a little less beside the imperial edict, and there is no Yulin Talisman to match, Yang Liang immediately interrogated Qu Tutong, but Qu Tutong was evasive and refused to answer.

But Yang Liang had already guessed the answer, he didn't make things difficult for Qu Tutong, let him go, and immediately found Wang Wei, Xiao Mohe and other confidantes, crying loudly:
"Yang Guang killed his father!"

Everyone was shocked, and Sima Huangfu of the Dingzhou Governor's Mansion hurriedly said:
"Why did your majesty make such a statement?"

Yang Liang then told everyone that he had a secret sign with his father, and said indignantly:
"When Gao Huan died of illness, he forgot to tell his son Gao Cheng the secret code he had agreed with Hou Jing, so Hou Jing separated Henan and turned against him.

"If the father dies, how can he repeat Gao Huan's mistakes and not tell Yang Guang the secret code between him and me!
"Now that Yang Guang is trying to trick me back to Kansai, he clearly wants to harm me!"

The white-haired general Xiao Mahe heard the words, and immediately said:
"Your Majesty is sitting on the land of the River East, so why don't you avenge your father with the elite soldiers of Bingzhou!"

Sima Huangfudan of the general manager's office stopped and said:
"The lower officials secretly think that the strength of the king and the crown prince is very different. If you rashly raise an army, if you fail, you will not be able to become a commoner. Please think twice."

Wang Wei, who was at the side, sneered and said:

"I wish Huangfu Sima a high promotion. In the future, the king will be captured without a fight. Yang Guang will definitely reward Sima with an official title after hearing what Sima said today."

Huangfu Dan was furious, but Yang Liang's anger was even stronger. He pointed at Huangfu Dan and cursed:
"Old thief! You bullied me too much!"
