Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 120 The Twins Ask for Help
The news that General Xiao Moke of the Chen Dynasty killed Chen Shuling in public was reported back to the Sui Dynasty. The whole court was shocked. This was an outcome that no one expected. Yang Guang was also surprised. No one expected that Nan Chen would have such a general. , he did not hesitate at all to take the blame for the emperor and directly killed Chen Shuling. No one could have imagined this plot.

Han Qinhu took all precautions and specifically did not hand it over to any generals of the Southern Dynasty. Instead, he sent it to the city gate to let everyone know that Chen Shuling had returned, so as to prevent Chen Shuling from being assassinated, but he still died.

This was bad news for the Sui Dynasty, but there was also good news. Prince Chen Shubao was seriously injured and was temporarily unable to handle government affairs. Emperor Nanchen died. Now Chen Shujian, the king of Changsha, wanted to execute Xiao because of the murder of Chen Shuling. Mo Ke, Liu Jingyan and Nan Chen are still in chaos.

Queen Mother Liu Jingyan is now in power. She is unwilling to let Chen Shujian take charge. She would rather take charge of it herself. Most of the ministers in the court sided with Chen Shubao and Liu Jingyan.

As for Chen Shuming, who originally wanted to instigate rebellion in the Sui Dynasty, because his brother was shot to death in this way, he is now petitioning to behead Xiao Moke. The struggle between the various factions in Nanchen has not eased because of Chen Shuling's death. It can be said that the future troubles are reduced, but the current situation is more tense.

At least until Chen Shubao fully recovered and was able to take charge, the internal fighting in the Southern Dynasties should not stop.

However, in the court of Sui Dynasty, many ministers still complained about this matter.

"Your Majesty, King Xingshi of the Southern Dynasty died under the city. Our soldiers captured him, but they did not obtain any useful resources. Please ask your Majesty to reward the soldiers who captured Chen Shuling to appease the morale of the army."

Although it was not said that it was Yang Guang's problem, the proposal was made by Yang Guang, and he was criticizing Sang and Huai.

Yang Jianzhi said: "In the discussion in front of the palace, I allow everyone to express their opinions. The decision I make is my intention. Those who have meritorious service in the border army will naturally be rewarded."

When there was nothing else in the hall, Yang Jian said: "Prince Jin, how is Daxing City? Can it be completed within the scheduled time?"

"Father, Daxing City is expected to complete the construction part of the imperial city in early June. At the same time, the West City and adjacent Fang District are also under construction, and most of the construction is expected to be completed in early July."

"Okay, then I plan to move the imperial city to Daxing City at the end of July next year. Don't miss the construction date."

"My son takes orders."

……

When Yang Guang returned home, he saw two uninvited guests. What surprised him most was that Xiao Menglan actually let these two people in.

It was the Yunrui and Yunqi twins who were thrown out of the palace because of Yun Luo's incident.

I thought to myself that Yun Dingxing was still evil. After a while, he sent it to the two sisters again. Did he feel that the limelight had passed?But how could Xiao Menglan open the door and let the two of them in? She had emphasized before that she didn't like Yunluo's family.

Moreover, Xiao Menglan was sitting next to the crying two people, and she didn't seem to have any disgust at all.

Yang Guang straightened up his manners and walked in, looking at Xiao Menglan seriously: "What's going on with Meng Lan?"

Seeing that Yang Guang was back, Xiao Menglan stood up and walked to Yang Guang, whispering: "Your Highness, these two came to ask for help."

Yang Guang frowned slightly and asked, "Coming to ask for help? Is their father up to something else?"

"It didn't look like it to me. After you went to the morning court today, the two of them knelt at the door for an hour. I couldn't bear it, so I let them come in first. They explained the cause and effect to me, and I also felt a little pitiful for them."

Yang Guang had more questions: "Kneel for an hour? Ask for help? Why does it sound more and more like Yun Dingxing's trick? Although these two girls look different from Yun Luo, they come from the same family. Who knows Whatever medicine is sold in the gourd, hurry up and get rid of it."

Hearing what Yang Guang said, Xiao Menglan felt that it might be the other party's plan, and her heart was wavering.

Yun Rui and Yun Qi saw Yang Guang and his wife whispering something, seeming to be discussing, looked at each other, and knelt down twice.

The two women in pear blossoms started to cry: "Please help His Royal Highness King Jin, please save my life from Princess Jin, woo woo woo..."

The tears seemed to be worthless. They kept dripping down and fell to the ground. She looked really pitiful and helpless. Xiao Menglan said: "Sit up first. I have lost etiquette in front of His Highness. There is no need to say anything else." ”

The two of them sat back on their chairs wiping their tears, their eyes red, holding back the tears.

Yang Guang glanced at Xiao Menglan, then walked up to the main seat and sat down. He signaled Yuan Tiantian to pour him some water and said, "What's going on? Let's make it clear first."

Yun Rui wiped her tears, calmed down and said, "Your Highness, my father wants to give our two sisters to His Highness the Crown Prince, so please help His Highness King Jin."

Yang Guang's brows furrowed even more tightly. What kind of mess is this? Yun Dingxing wouldn't feel comfortable if he didn't send his daughter out to cling to the powerful, right? So he still insisted on it.

"Tell me what happened in detail?"

"The eldest sister is pregnant and cannot serve His Highness the Crown Prince for the time being. However, she is afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince's favor will be taken away by others, so she discussed with my father and brought us two sisters into the palace to serve His Highness the Crown Prince together with the eldest sister. This way At least His Highness the Crown Prince's favor belongs to our Yun family." Yang Guang was stunned when he heard this, and Xiao Menglan's face turned slightly red. It was obvious that the scale was too big, and she became shy after thinking about it.

Yang Guang couldn't help but sigh that Yun Dingxing's scale was really big. He didn't care about his own reputation if he had three women working together with one husband. Yun Luo had inherited Yun Dingxing's reputation very well, and she actually came up with the idea herself.

Niubi Niubi, admiration.

But what does this have to do with me? The bottom line of this family is really too low. Nothing good can happen with them. Moreover, the twins have always been Yun Dingxing's tool to cling to the powerful. Why are they now on their own? I’m here to ask for help, why myself?
Seemingly seeing Yang Guang's doubts, Yunrui said: "We, two sisters, were trained by our father to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood. Every powerful person would let us perform on the stage. We have always been our father's tools. In the past, The two of us were submissive and always felt that our father was our father and he must be doing it for our own good, but the last time we were thrown out of the palace made us understand. "

At this point, Yunrui's eyes were shining, full of firmness and determination, like an unshakable mountain peak, and her eyebrows were tightly knitted together, like a hard shield to prevent any external pressure.

She said firmly: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, we were arranged among the musicians, and my sister was also arranged to come in. But I didn't expect that my sister would cause such a thing. It was obvious that she had planned it with her father, and my sister got married as she wished. Prince's Mansion, but we two sisters were ridiculed by the ladies in the harem. They poured cold water on us, took off our coats, leaving only thin clothes, and put rotten vegetable leaves in our mouths. Rise smeared mud from the back kitchen on our faces, punched and kicked us, mocked our family for being shameless, and finally threw us out of the palace."

Yunrui had stopped crying when she was talking about these things, and it was obvious that she felt more resentment than grievance.

"It was already cold on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. After being beaten and ridiculed for a long time, the two of us were still on the dark street. We didn't know what to do. No one came to pick us up or take care of us. It was pitch dark and we didn’t dare go home.”

"Fortunately, we finally met Eunuch Wang Yi who was waiting for His Highness at the gate of the palace. It was Eunuch Wang Yi who ordered people to give us clothes and send us back home."

Yang Guang had never heard Wang Yi tell this story before, so he immediately called Wang Yi over.

Yang Guang asked about this matter after Wang Yi walked in.

Wang Yi nodded: "Because at that time, I shouldn't have been too involved in the affairs of the Yun family girls, but the two girls had been to the house and met each other. They looked at the pitiful appearance and couldn't bear it, so they helped. "

"Why don't you tell me?"

"His Highness and the Princess had many things going on at that time, so they decided not to inform His Highness of this trivial matter, so as not to upset His Highness."

Yang Guang nodded, Wang Yi was always his most trustworthy subordinate.

"Well done, I'll reward you with ten taels of silver."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Yun Rui then continued: "After this incident, we sisters have completely understood that my father doesn't care about our life and death, and my sister doesn't care even less. They have glory and wealth in front of them, and our lives don't even matter. If we go to the East Palace next time, if His Highness the Crown Prince gets tired of us two, we can't compete with my sister. My sister will definitely be more cruel to us than the maids in the palace, and we will be afraid."

Yang Guang lamented that this time the two of them had finally woken up. Being little fat sheep who were allowed to be slaughtered would result in being brutally slaughtered. They were right. When they arrived at the Prince's East Palace, they would not only be rich and prosperous, but they would be lucky if they came out alive. Fortunately, their sister only asked them to serve the prince during this period of pregnancy. Will she keep you when she is well?My sisters can’t stay either.

"The two of us really have nowhere to turn, and we have thought about running away from the city directly, but we are women, and we don't dare to think about what will happen if we escape from the city. After thinking about it, we can only run and beg. Your Highness Prince Jin and Princess, you are the only one who can save us."

After hearing the ins and outs, Xiao Menglan felt pity for letting the two of them in. At this time, she and Yang Guang looked at each other.

Yang Guang was also a little embarrassed. After all, theoretically it was better to leave this matter alone. He would naturally be unhappy if he let the prince know about it.

"Meng Lan, what do you think we should do?"

Xiao Menglan sighed and thought for a long time: "Your Highness can't just ignore death."

Obviously Xiao Menglan is still soft-hearted, but Yang Guang has a serious face: "But I don't know whether their statement is true or false. What if it is false?"

I don’t think they have the acting skills, but it’s better to be careful.

Xiao Menglan suddenly looked at Yuan Tiantian beside her: "I have been here every day, are they telling the truth or lies?"

"It's all the truth, no lies."

Yang Guang looked at Yuan Tiantian in surprise: "Who do you think you are?"

"Your Highness, I know how to read faces. When a person lies, his face changes. You can tell."

"You still have this ability?"

Isn't this a humanoid lie detector?
