I, the son of Yang Guo, abducted Zhang Sanfeng across the heavens

Chapter 536 Yang Jian’s rebellion against the old brothers, assemble!

In this era, the position of "emperor" itself does not have any absolute authority. You become emperor because you are the best fighter, not because you become emperor that you can command the world's troops and become the best fighter.

Even Yang Jian was rebelling against his own son, so the others would have no intention of rebelling against Yang Guang.

What's more, the leader of the imperial guard and the leader of the city guard are both powerful men with family backgrounds.

The leader of the city guard, Han Qingxing, was Han Qinhu's nephew, while the leader of the imperial guard was He Ruobi's grandson and He Ruohuailiang's son.

Originally in history, He Ruobi and He Ruohuailiang were also killed by Yang Guang because they opposed him. Isn't it funny that the cause of death of He Ruobi, a dignified Shangzhuguo, was "slandering the government"?

It seems so casual and desolate.

The He Ruo family had such a high status and position, but Yang Guang executed them with such a hasty charge. It was obvious that their attitude towards Yang Guang was not formed overnight, but was the result of long-term opposition to Yang Guang. Now, the He Ruo family already had a lot of dissatisfaction with Yang Guang.

The leader of the Imperial Guard was named He Ruoxi Xiang. He inherited the attitude of his father and grandfather. In addition to Yang Jian's actions just now and the scolding by Yang Guang, he was also eager to make some moves when he saw Han Qingxing's behavior.

"You mean if we kill him now, we will turn to the emperor?"

He Ruoxi seemed different from Han Qingxing. His parents were still there, hiding behind the pillars of the Golden Palace. Just now, when Yang Gui brought Yang Jian to beat up Yang Guang, He Ruobi and He Ruohuailiang pretended not to see it and mingled among the group of civil servants.

There is no way. Who would be willing to get involved in the emperor's family affairs? Even if they were to participate, they could not directly intervene in public.

He Ruoxi shouted, "Grandpa, Dad, are we rebelling?"

"Who is your grandfather? Go to hell." He Ruobi never expected that his grandson was so fierce that he actually asked him whether he wanted to kill the dog emperor in court. He was furious, "Now he has to rebel even if he doesn't want to." He Ruobi stood up helplessly and pointed at He Ruoxi Xiang and Han Qingxing and said:

"But you two idiots, Yang Guang was the emperor who was abdicated by the emperor himself. The emperor just came here and failed to persuade this tyrant. If you two kill him, and then the emperor will blame you for killing his son, then you're going to die.

"Pack up your things and go, and surrender to the Emperor. You just said something right, we are not rebelling, we are surrendering to the Emperor, to restore order in the court, and to welcome back the Holy Emperor."

"Damn it He Ruobi, stop giving me some high-sounding talk. I've known for a long time that you were going to rebel!" Yang Guang was still shouting and cursing.

"Puff!" He Ruobi stepped forward and kicked Yang Guang in the mouth, knocking out two of his teeth. "Stupid emperor, you don't think that no one dares to move from the position of emperor. No, you personally forced your father to abdicate and pass the throne to you. How could you have such an idea?
Oh...you took advantage of the power of the aristocratic family to force your father to abdicate, but do you think they can help you in this situation?"

The officials from the noble families in the court acted like ostriches and quails, hiding even further back than before. You must be kidding. These veterans who have fought hundreds of battles are cruel and ruthless, killing people without blinking an eye. Our noble families are all scholars and elegant people. We won't do such crude things as brandishing swords and guns and fighting with bare chests.

He Ruobi sneered, "Now that things have come to this, let's go quickly. Xixiang, Qingxing, you two, tell your brothers to pack up their valuables, take their families with you, and leave the city to join the emperor. Otherwise, if they stay in Chang'an, their lives will be in jeopardy."

"As you command!" He Ruoxixiang and Han Qingxing's eyes lit up, and they turned around and called out, "Did you hear that? Come with me to pack up the gold and silver and take the family away!"

"Oh!"

He Ruoxi Xiang and Han Qingxing both came from military families and grew up with the generals. They knew how to treat their soldiers well. They were not like those military generals and nobles in the middle and late dynasties who had no control over their soldiers at all.

The two men have always given generous benefits, and the soldiers under them are willing to follow them.

It's just a rebellion, so whoever you follow doesn't matter. There have been so many emperors over the years. It's enough to follow the general. If you follow the general, you will get paid and have food to eat. That's enough.

"Is there anyone else who wants to go with us? Old Gao, I see that you have been dissatisfied with Emperor Yang for a long time. Hurry up and take this opportunity to go with us. There are not many opportunities to follow a father to beat his son. This does not count as a rebellion against the Tang Dynasty." He Ruobi shouted to Gao Jiong, one of the nine founding elders.

Gao Jiong was also loyal to the country. He was the prime minister and believed that deposing the eldest son and enthroning the youngest son was the way to chaos. When Yang Guang was about to seize the throne, he stood up and clearly opposed the decision to depose Prince Yang Yong from the position of crown prince.

Therefore, Gao Jiong's matter was even bigger. He not only offended Yang Guang, but mainly offended Dugu Qieluo.

Everyone in the entire Yang Tang Dynasty knew that the real driving force behind Yang Guang's ascension to the throne was the queen in the deep palace. Now she is the empress dowager and her power is even greater than before.

If Yang Guang wants to kill someone, Empress Dowager Dugu may be able to protect you. But if Empress Dowager Dugu wants to kill someone, then no one in the world can protect you.

Unless... unless it is like now, Yang Jian is not dead, and even comes back with the gods, and now his old brothers who used to be under his command are planning to rebel against his wife and second son together.

"Okay, I think so too. That old bitch Dugu Jialuo will kill me sooner or later. Instead of waiting for her to take action, we might as well follow His Majesty the Emperor and fight for the country again." Gao Jiong also stood up and walked to the side of He Ruobi and his son.

"Anything else?" He Ruobi shouted.

"Stop shouting. We'll find Lao Qiu later and take away all the people we can." Gao Jiong waved his hand. As he said before, he was the prime minister, not a military officer, so he was in charge of all the relationships in detail. He knew clearly who was dissatisfied with Yang Guang and who sided with Yang Guang.

"Yang Su, what do you mean? Do you think you are Yang Guang's loyal minister?" He Ruobi widened his eyes and looked at King Yang Su of Yue.

"You two rebels, stop talking nonsense. I am a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. Why would I go with you two? I tell you, if I could defeat you, I would have taken up my weapons to deal with you long ago. You two just wait. I will ask His Majesty to send troops to destroy you."

Are you kidding? Yang Su was a supporter of Dugu Jialuo. Although his last name was Yang, he was not the same Yang as Yang Jian. He was born in the Hongnong Yang family, a legitimate thousand-year-old aristocratic family. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, one of his ancestors was known as the "Confucius of Guanxi", who had always been the one who held the power of the aristocratic family. Yang Jian was now rebelling against the aristocratic family, which meant he was trying to seize his power, and Yang Su would certainly not allow it. He contacted the Dugu family as soon as possible, and he was the one who supported Dugu Jialuo and helped Yang Guang seize the throne. How could he possibly oppose Yang Guang?

"Okay, okay, you are really capable. Why didn't I see that when we were fighting together to conquer the world? You ungrateful bastard!"

He Ruobi wanted to kill Yang Su on the spot, but after all, he was the King of Yue appointed by the imperial court. Since He Ruobi was raising the banner of supporting the royal orthodoxy rather than rebelling, he would not kill the prince of the imperial court without authorization. He was more or less an old man, and was much calmer than the impulsive He Ruoxixiang and Han Qingxing.

"Let's go!" He Ruobi shouted, and led his men out in a line. The imperial guards and the city guards all ran away, and no one dared to stop them. In this situation, anyone who dared to jump out would be courting death.

When passing by the city gate tower, Han Qingxing even went up to lower the heavy copper gate, then returned to the team and said viciously, "Humph, seal this gate, lock up the tyrant and his ministers inside, and starve them to death."

"You kid, you are so old, but you still dream about beautiful things." He Ruobi shook his head and said with a smile: "You will go home soon and take those who are willing to leave from your Han family. If they really don't want to leave, there is nothing we can do. Good words cannot persuade the damned ghosts. Let them die with Yang Guang."

"Yes, Uncle He Ruo, I think we will inevitably have to fight against the tyrant's army when we go there. I have a cousin in my family, who is the son of my second aunt. He is well versed in military tactics and has the talent to be a general. Why don't we bring him along with us?" Han Qingxing said.

"Who?"

"Hehe, he's from the Danyang branch of the Longxi Li family. His name is Li Jing. I've been abused by him since I was a child. It will be okay if we take him with us." Han Qingxing smiled embarrassedly.

"You are not trying to win over a cousin, you are trying to win over the entire Longxi Li family."

He Ruobi was amused. "You kid, you think too simply. We can attract one or two individual talents, but these big families cannot be attracted by favors and friendships. We have to rely on the overall situation and interests.

There is no need to win them over. When we have the upper hand, they will come over on their own. This is how a thousand-year-old family works. It is not who they help who wins, but whoever wins they help. "

"Well, Lao Bi, your awareness is correct." Yang Jian's voice suddenly came, surprising everyone.

"Your Majesty, why are you still here?" Gao Jiong hurriedly bowed and the others also clasped their fists and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. We are rebels now. We are rebelling against the Yang family." Yang Jian laughed twice and said to Han Qingxing: "Look, what did I say? You must follow me, right?"

"You're right." Han Qingxing touched his head, a little embarrassed. He had just told Yang Jian that he was loyal to the emperor, and then he scolded the emperor and led his troops to break out as if he were a rebel. If he were put in the hands of an emperor who expanded the power of the central government in later generations, this would be a crime worthy of the death of nine generations of his clan.

"It's okay, there's nothing to be afraid of. But what Lao Bi and Lao Gao said is right, the noble families are not in a hurry to win over, they are intermarried, they are the community of interests, we are outsiders, no matter how talented Li Jing is, now is not the time."

Yang Jian sighed, "Let alone Li Jing, who is a talented general, the second son of Li Yuan of Longxi Li family is also the emperor chosen by my ancestor. So what? I still can't find him now."

"Duke Tang, that's not right. His father counts as your brother-in-law. You two are brothers-in-law, both sons-in-law of the Dugu family. You definitely don't trust him." He Ruobi said with a smile, "But I've always wondered, why did you steal the title of Duke Tang and use it as the name of your country?"

"My ancestor said that the Tang Dynasty enjoyed the greatest fortune in the world and that its heyday should be passed down through the ages. He asked me to call it the Tang Dynasty. According to convention, I was supposed to call this dynasty the Sui Dynasty."

Yang Jian pointed at Yang Gui and the other two floating in the sky and said, "Well, I'm planning to let Li Yuan's second son inherit the throne. I think none of my sons are reliable."

"Are you willing to give up the throne?" Gao Jiong was stunned.

"Why would I be reluctant to give it up? I've already given it up once, haven't I?" To be honest, seeing these surprised old brothers, Yang Jian felt an inexplicable sense of superiority in his heart. You can only see the throne, but who knows the temptation of immortality?
"It's just for the good fortune of the human race. In fact, I think you should just let Li Er be the prime minister. His descendants are all idiots. Only one great-grandson has a clear mind for a decade or two. That's all. There is nothing irreplaceable."

Yang Gui fell from the sky, looked at the group of people and said, "His daughter-in-law, an old woman, has become the emperor. This is the most ridiculous thing in the world."

"It's no big deal for a daughter-in-law to become an emperor. Look at our emperor, his wife will soon become a daughter-in-law. If she hadn't had her son to support her, I guess Dugu Qieluo would have become an emperor sooner or later." Wu Jianzhang teased Yang Jian on the side.

"Fuck you!" Yang Jian pretended to punch Wu Jianzhang, and Wu Jianzhang ran away in fear. Before, Wu Jianzhang might not care about such a fight between old brothers, but since he witnessed Yang Jian lifting the thousand-pound gate with his own eyes, he developed a great fear of this old guy's fist.

"Stop talking nonsense. Who should we recruit next? Of the Nine Founding Elders, only that bastard Yang Su should not come, right?" He Ruobi asked, "Let's follow His Majesty in another rebellion."

"It's understandable that Yang Su didn't come, but what's weird is that his son's name is Yang Xuangan. According to the normal development process, he would have planned to depose Yang Guang later, but the plan was exposed and Yang Guang killed him."

Yang Gui wanted to laugh when he thought of this, what about the love-hate relationship between the emperor and the aristocratic families? "In other words, keeping Yang Su in the court will be beneficial to you."

"I've said it before, Yang Guang is a moron, he thinks he can manipulate these noble families, but in fact he is the one who will die without a burial place." Yang Jian shook his head and continued, "Ding Yanping and Qiu Rui will definitely be fine, as for my uncle Yang Lin..."

Yang Lin is the youngest brother of Yang Zhong and the uncle of Yang Jian. He is loyal only to the Yang family. Yang Jian is afraid that the old man is too close to him and is worried about his nephew and grandson, so he is not willing to rebel with him. You should know that his old uncle is very powerful.

It's not that he was afraid that he couldn't deal with him, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to capture him alive in the future, or that he was too stubborn and caused the death of his old uncle.

"Yang Lin is not a problem. He will see clearly what Yang Guang will be like in the future." Yang Gui said, "The important thing is to win over Yu Juluo."
