Li Er, three years after three years, I have been enthroned

Chapter 41 The Death of the King of Goguryeo (Please recommend for further reading)
"Yang Zhao."

After Yang Guang basically gave all the instructions, he looked at Yang Zhao.

"The minister is here."

Yang Zhao responded.

"Logically speaking, since you have been canonized as Marquis Zhaowu, you should have your own fiefdom."

Yang Guang said.

This is true, just like Luo Yi, the Marquis of Jingbian in Youzhou.

He has the Youzhou Army, and basically the Sui Dynasty does not interfere with Youzhou affairs, unless it is a major event.

"Your Majesty, I believe that we should still act according to the rules and grant the land to Marquis Zhaowu."

Yu Wenshu, who was not far away, raised his lips and stepped out of the queue to say.

"Yes."

Hearing this, the others also agreed.

It sounds like he is helping Yang Zhao to have more fiefdoms.

In fact, this is not the case. He is trying to alienate the relationship between Sui Shi and Yang Zhao.

Once Yang Zhao leaves the center of power, what can he do if he is Marquis Zhaowu?
Still unable to interfere in Luoyang's affairs, nor active in the court.

"No, Yang Zhaoqing's family is still young, so I plan to let him sit in Luoyang."

The legitimate persuasion was rejected by Yang Guang.

"This"

Yuwenshu was about to speak but stopped.

At this time, he desperately hoped that other ministers from the court would come out and speak.

Coupled with the help, it is guaranteed that Yang Zhao will not be transferred from Luoyang.

But other civil and military officials, such as Su Wei and Pei Ju, even Lai Huer and Yu Zhongwen, etc.

Obviously, no one had the idea to go against Yang Guang, and they all agreed with Yang Guang's decision.

In this case, Yu Wenshu could only agree.

But for Yu Wenshu, whether Yang Guang agreed or not was within his expectation and it was no big deal.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yang Zhao cupped his hands and walked out of the queue.

"What's there to thank you for? I have selfish motives and want you to do your best for Sui Dynasty."

Yang Guang replied.

"It is at your Majesty's discretion."

Yang Zhao replied.

This matter is basically settled like this.

Yang Zhao guards Luoyang and has a certain amount of military power, but he still has the imperial guards.

In addition, Yang Zhao can also raise some troops privately, which is allowed by Yang Guang.

After Yu Wenshu heard this, even if he had thoughts in his heart, he could not express them.

In this way, Yang Zhao of Luoyang becomes a threat to the Yuwen family and even other aristocratic families.

In addition, those aristocratic families who have different intentions do not dare to act randomly or behave in private.

"Okay, that's it for today."

After Yang Guang finished speaking, he stood up.

"Retreat."

Pei Ju, a close minister, announced loudly.

"Sir, I send you off to Your Majesty."

All civil and military personnel shouted in unison.

Yang Guang left from the side entrance of the hall. After he left, all the civil and military personnel left one after another.

Originally, Yang Zhao was about to leave Qianyang Palace, but later he was privately summoned by Yang Guang and went to a side hall.

When Yang Zhao arrived, Yang Guang was correcting the memorial.

"Sir, see Your Majesty."

Yang Zhao saluted.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be constrained by etiquette."

Yang Guang put down the memorial and said.

"Your Majesty, what do you have to say?"

Yang Zhao asked.

"Now that it has been some time since the master returned to the court, I feel it is time to take action."

Yang Guang said.

Hearing this, Yang Zhao was not surprised and understood what it meant.

It's time to attack the Yuwen family.

"I'm asking you now, do you have any suggestions, or how much evidence do you have?"

Yang Guang asked.

"Your Majesty, in fact, you should have sufficient evidence in your hands, right?"

Yang Zhao asked.

"You boy, I do have some evidence."

Yang Guang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and cursed.

In response, Yang Zhao just laughed twice.

"But my evidence is not sufficient, and the crime will not lead to death."

Yang Guang said again.

As soon as he came back, he began to order people to investigate secretly.

Of course, the people I am looking for are all trustworthy people, complete confidants. "Your Majesty, what about these additions?"

Yang Zhao smiled and took out a booklet.

"Ok?"

Yang Guang took the booklet from Yang Zhao with doubts.

There are some lists and even the Yuwen family’s account books behind their backs.

In each item, the recorded things are not simple, plus the connection between the Yuwen family and Goguryeo.

Not to mention beheading, even killing the Nine Clan is considered a light thing.

"The Yuwen family has become so arrogant!"

Yang Guang's eyes were cold.

The content recorded in this booklet has already made him extremely angry.

"By the way, how did you find out about this?"

Only then did Yang Guang come to his senses, looked at Yang Zhao and asked.

"Your Majesty, I have already made great efforts to investigate. Moreover, these things are inconvenient for Your Majesty, but they are more convenient for me."

Yang Zhao replied.

"Good job, boy."

Yang Guang laughed.

"Since the evidence is sufficient, I want to know, what are you going to do?"

Yang Guang asked again.

"Call Yu Wenshu to meet in the palace, and kill him after he arrives."

Yang Zhao replied.

"Is this plan feasible?"

Yang Guang asked again.

"The probability of success is estimated to be around [-]%."

Yang Zhao answered truthfully.

"Eighty percent, that's enough."

Yang Guang nodded.

"In this case, I will arrange it tomorrow."

Yang Guang thought for a while and said.

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, this was too fast.

"Since Yu Wenshu is rebellious, he must try every means to deal with you. I only need to use this as an excuse to let him enter the palace."

Yang Guang said.

"promise."

After hearing this, Yang Zhao responded.

"You will come in with the Imperial Guard at midnight today and prepare in advance."

Yang Guang ordered.

"promise."

Yang Zhao took the order.

Immediately Yang Guang flicked his sleeves, signaling Yang Zhao to back down.

Yang Zhao understood, and after leaving the side hall, he returned to his current residence.

Yang Zhao's mansion has also begun to be expanded and will be renamed Zhaowuhou Mansion.

At the same time, the downtown area of ​​Luoyang.

Wei Xuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, personally supervised the beheading of Gao Yuan.

The scaffold was erected, and the executioner was present.

Just waiting for Wei Xuan's order.

Wei Xuan looked at the sky and did not rush to give orders because the time had not yet arrived.

Gao Yuan was wearing prison uniform and his limbs were chained.

Moreover, the hair is messy and the beard is unshaven, which has long lost the elegance of the past.

The people watching the show below were also talking a lot.

"Look, this is the former king of Goguryeo."

"Yes, the king of the barbarians."

"So what, I'm not a prisoner now."

The people said one after another.

"My lord, the time has come."

After a while, Wei Xuan's subordinates ran over and spoke in a low voice.

"Now that the time has come, let's carry out the execution."

Wei Xuan opened his eyes.

Then he took off the token and threw it forward.

"On the way!"

The executioner shouted and walked towards Gao Yuan with a big knife in his hand.

"It's over, everything is over, Goguryeo no longer exists, and this king is the sinner of Goguryeo!"

At another moment, Gao Yuan was surrounded by fear and closed his eyes tremblingly.

As the executioner's sword was raised and its edge flashed, Gao Yuan's head fell to the ground without any pain at all.

When the people below saw this, they applauded one after another.
