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

Chapter 335 The Prince was assassinated
Xiao Menglan set out for Xiliang that day. According to the current road and journey, if he traveled quickly, he would be able to arrive in three to five days. This is why Xiao Menglan had to take a carriage, otherwise it would be faster to ride a horse. Between Xiliang and Sui Dynasty The road is now wide enough.

That night, Yang Guang invited Li Yuan. After the two had two drinks, he said, "Cousin, my father asked me how to solve the problem in Xiliang. I have guaranteed that the owner of Xiliang will belong to the Xiao family. Do you think this will happen?" Will it not be in line with my father’s wishes?”

Li Yuan still looked bitter and resentful: "The Holy Will is unpredictable and impossible to predict, but the return of Xi Liang to the Xiao family will be a great benefit to Your Highness. Your Highness, you have done nothing wrong."

Yang Guang rubbed his forehead: "I'm afraid the Southern Expedition can't be delayed for long. Within half a year at most, my father will definitely order the southern expedition. My father can't wait to unify the world."

"Your Highness, what are your plans? You have always wanted to take the initiative in the southern expedition, but now His Majesty has ordered the King of Shu and the King of Qin to manage this matter."

Yang Guang also had a headache over this matter.

Li Yuan analyzed: "Your Highness, if you interfere in this matter, the King of Shu and the King of Qin will definitely not benefit from your hands. But in this case, Your Majesty will definitely be blamed for this. If you don't interfere, you They accepted all the previous arrangements, and I feel that Nanchen will definitely lose to the Sui Dynasty, which is really confusing."

"Li Yuan, if these two men lead the troops to unify Nanchen, will my position as the crown prince be stable or unstable?"

Li Yuan thought for a long time and replied: "Your Highness, if you make no mistakes, you should still be very stable. Your Majesty cannot change the crown prince in a short time. Moreover, Your Highness, you are not at fault and you have real power. I do not think that the King of Shu and the King of Qin will threaten you." Your status.”

Yang Guang nodded: "I think so too, so I plan to let them go to conquer Nanchen without any intervention. My father has allowed the Xiao family to be the lord of Xiliang. If I am still involved in Nanchen's affairs If you interfere, your father will be disappointed."

Li Yuan also agreed with Yang Guang's opinion: "Although I am unwilling to do so, I feel the same way."

"Okay, let's withdraw some of the arranged Yingyang Guards today, and tell Han Qinhu, Yang Su and others to cooperate with the King of Shu and King Qin. Of course, it is just cooperation. As for whether they have this ability, it depends on themselves. ”

Li Yuan nodded.

Late at night, Yuan Tiantian was lying next to Yang Guang, with a smile in his beautiful eyes: "Your Highness, you seem to be very worried."

"I always feel uneasy."

"Tiangang has calculated it for the Queen. This time it is a flat hexagram, which is at best a small evil hexagram. There is absolutely no safety risk for the Crown Princess. You don't have to worry so much."

"Hopefully."

……

Three days passed peacefully, and news came back from the Yingyang Guards that Xiao Menglan and Yang Zhao had arrived safely in Jiangling City. The Lord of Xiliang was already lying on the hospital bed and was very angry. It was estimated that it would only take these two days. thing.

Yang Guang helped the emperor handle government affairs in the palace.

Queen Dugu came to him with her maids. The maids carried various dishes and carefully cooked soup prepared in the imperial kitchen.

"Amo, how about reviewing memorials for your father every day these days? Are you tired?"

"Mother, Queen, sons and ministers share the burdens for their father, the Queen, and the Queen, so they don't feel tired."

Queen Dugu brought over a small exquisite porcelain cup: "This is the chicken soup I specially cooked for you. I added some nourishing herbs and simmered it for two hours."

Yang Guang took the chicken soup and said respectfully: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

"I just heard from the palace maid that she was so busy that she only had a few bites of lunch, right?"

Yang Guang simply smiled.

Queen Dugu looked at Wang Yi, who was accompanying Yang Guang, and said reproachfully: "Wang Yi, you have been following Amo for so many years. Amo forgets to eat and sleep. You, the manager of the East Palace, can't ignore what you see and hear. When it's time for dinner, No matter how busy you are, you must let the prince eat something. If the prince is hungry and hurts his stomach, I will punish you."

Wang Yi replied hurriedly and respectfully: "Queen, I know I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore."

"Mother, Wang Yi reminded me, it's me who's not hungry."

Queen Dugu said: "Drink it first and see if you like it. I'll let someone cook it for you tomorrow."

"It tastes good, very fresh and sweet."

A loving mother and a filial son, another happy day.

After staring at Yang Guang and eating, Queen Dugu said: "Amo, today is Lihua's birthday. I originally planned to ask Lihua to come to the palace, but you know your eldest sister's temper. "Twisted, I prepared some gifts for her, you can bring them to her when you leave the palace today."

As soon as he heard this, Yang Guang knew that Yang Lihua was in conflict with her second elder again. The relationship between Yang Lihua and Yang Jian was always good and bad. When it was bad, the reason was very simple. It was probably because the emperor had moved to find her daughter again. The idea of ​​​​husband-in-law came to mind.

"Mother, you and your father can just order someone to give your eldest sister's gift. We can't have a tense relationship."

Empress Dugu sighed softly: "His Majesty had taken a fancy to a descendant of the Cui family and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law. Lihua made a fuss with us, which made His Majesty angry and said harsh words to her. After thinking about it later, he felt it was unnecessary. Because of such a thing, the relationship between father and daughter is so tense, and now they can’t lose face.”

"You and Lihua have always had a good relationship. You can help bring the gifts. Of course, there will be an imperial edict to show respect. I am also afraid of Lihua's temper. If she still refuses to accept the edict after the edict has passed, it will not be good if His Majesty does not come to Taiwan. ”

Empress Dugu said sincerely: "Please help me to make peace, so that your eldest sister will not be angry. I will accept the gift and apologize to His Majesty. Once you step down, this matter can be considered in the past."

Asking Yang Lihua to apologize was a difficult task. Yang Guang said with a look of embarrassment: "Mother, back then, I slightly interfered with the eldest sister's affairs, but the eldest sister came directly to my house with a sword to chop me down."

"She just wants to scare you. Besides, with her clicking skills, can she really hurt you?"

"Mother..."

"Amo, as the crown prince, you have to share His Majesty's worries. If you do this well, you can share His Majesty's worries more than if you read the news for more than ten days."

Yang Guang could only lament and accepted the task.

He did understand very well that Yang Lihua was not angry with the emperor. Yang Lihua had a fiery personality, but her quarrel with the emperor was intentional.

She is a smart and hard-working woman who lives a life of being looked down upon by guarding her wealth.

As the top female aristocrat in the capital, is she really as glamorous as she looks?How can people talk about a woman behind her back who let her father take away her son-in-law's family property?

Yang Jian didn't care, but she did.

th.

She knew clearly what things the emperor would tolerate her for and what things he would not.

Gathering thousands of favors in one body, gathering thousands of criticisms in one body.

It was already late at night when Yang Guang finished sorting out the government affairs. He left the palace and went to Yang Lihua's house with the imperial edict and gifts.

As one of the richest and most prestigious women in Daxing City, Yang Lihua often had distinguished guests and celebrities visiting her house. She even had a large courtyard in the side yard of her house for literati to communicate and have sex with her house. made a distinction.

It's very simple for her to do this, and make her style higher and higher. Even though these richest and most powerful people are constantly being arty, they seem to have spent a lot of money, but they actually make a lot of money.

This is the vane of the Sui trend.Yang Lihua, who has always liked liveliness, this year's birthday party ended very early. When Yang Guang arrived, he had already begun to leave.

Everyone passing by Yang Guang saluted the prince one after another.

Wang Yi whispered to Yang Guang: "If something goes wrong with Your Highness, there must be a monster. Your Highness, the eldest princess, does not have a temperament that would end the banquet early. You should be more careful."

Yang Guang felt a little funny and said, "You seem to be afraid of my eldest sister."

"Your Highness, I should not say something this servant should say. It is not that I am afraid of the eldest princess, but I am afraid that you are the only one in the entire Daxing City who is not afraid of the eldest princess."

"Eldest sister doesn't eat people."

Yang Guang walked inside, and the maids in the eldest princess's house didn't stop Yang Guang when they saw him. When they approached the banquet hall where everyone had dispersed, Yang Lihua's most personal maid saw Yang Guang and stepped forward to stop him, saying: "Your Highness, eldest prince, eldest son." Her Royal Highness the Princess is drunk, you..."

The servants dare not say anything to drive away guests.

bang, bang, bang

Yang Guang heard the sound of smashing things and frowned: "Is eldest sister smashing things?"

The maid nodded with a look of embarrassment on her face: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, is not in a good mood today."

"Did someone offend her at the party?"

"No, I just suddenly lost my temper."

Yang Guang said: "I'll go see her."

The maid was very worried: "Your Highness, the eldest princess got drunk and lost her temper..."

"Don't worry, and I received the imperial edict and must go."

As soon as she heard the imperial edict, the maid hurriedly knelt down first.

Yang Guang walked inside and saw Yang Lihua sitting at a table. The dishes were scattered on the floor. On the table were numerous pieces of shareholder jade. The maids took these treasures to Yang Lihua's table with great pain. At hand, Yang Lihua picked up one piece and threw another away. These valuable treasures made a sound in her hands.

As long as the maids don't hurt themselves, this will be fine.

Yang Guang stepped forward, and the maids knelt down one after another: "Your Highness."

Yang Lihua raised her eyes and looked at Yang Guang, and simply said: "Coming? I thought you weren't coming." Then she started throwing things again.

"Sister, don't you worry about money? These things are very expensive."

Yang Lihua said drunkenly and lazily: "Isn't the purpose of making money just to buy some fun? Throwing these things away makes me happy, and it's worth it."

Yang Guang waved his hand and asked Wang Yi to take his subordinates to retreat further. Wang Yi was very worried, but they had to obey the prince's order.

He understood that Yang Lihua seemed drunk, but she was a person who was still very sober even after drinking too much. It was this sobriety that made people uncomfortable. She didn't even have the right to be confused.

"Eldest sister, it's your birthday party, why didn't your brother even have wine when he came?"

Yang Lihua stood up and took the wine from the table next to her and handed it to Yang Guang: "Drink."

Yang Guang smiled, filled up the wine and drank it in one gulp.

"Amo, what do you think this person is living for?"

"To live."

"To live?"

Yang Guang said earnestly: "Sister, people's fate is determined by God. Some people are rich, some are poor, some die young, some live a long life. Things that God has determined cannot be changed."

Yang Lihua looked up at the moon, which was full tonight, and murmured: "That... is so boring."

After sighing, Yang Lihua said: "I see you have people from the palace behind you. You are here today to lobby for your father, the emperor and your mother."

Yang Guang nodded and did not deny: "Eldest sister, after the quarrel with the father, the queen and the queen, since the two saints have bowed their heads, we must put it down as soon as possible, so as not to really hurt the harmony."

Yang Lihua blushed and smiled: "Yeah, just accept it when you see it is good. An ignorant daughter can fool around for a while, but she can't keep fooling around, lest she loses the chance to fool around next time. Keep all the gifts. After I go back and report it to my father, the emperor, and my mother, I will say that I have made a mistake."

Yang Guang knew that Yang Lihua was extremely sober and she always knew exactly what she wanted.

"Eldest sister, I have to advise you, don't keep quarreling with your father, emperor and mother. Now that you have everything, it's almost fine."

Yang Lihua's eyes were full of melancholy: "Amo, I have been dreaming about Chan'er (Yuwen Chan, Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty) recently. When he was brought to me and called my mother, he was still a small one, but he was as tall as a table. "

"Later... my father promised me to spare his life, but why did my father still kill him?"

Politically speaking, Yang Jian has become the emperor. Of course, the last emperor of the Yuwen family cannot stay. But from Yang Lihua's personal point of view, Yang Jian deceived her and killed the son she raised by her side. Although he was not her biological son, After all, I kept him around for a long time.

Yang Lihua continued: "After all, I am the daughter-in-law of the Yuwen family. We are husband and wife for a hundred days, but in the end, I couldn't protect his son. I can't live with it. Do you know that I can't live with it?!"

After speaking, Yang Lihua burst into tears.

A smart woman knows everything, understands everything, but she is struggling with herself. No one can help with this matter, and Yang Guang can only sigh helplessly.

Yang Guang left the gift and the imperial edict, told the servants in Yang Lihua's house to take good care of the eldest princess, and prepared to go out.

As he walked to the door, he heard a woman's voice coming from behind: "Your Highness."

Yang Guang came to his senses and saw that the person who came was dressed as a maid from the eldest princess's house. She looked familiar. She was not the personal maid that Yang Lihua often brought with her. However, the personnel in the eldest princess's house were always very strict, so Yang Guang didn't have any doubts.

Yang Guang asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, the eldest princess has something to ask my servant to tell you only."

"Speak in a low voice."

The woman took a step forward, taking advantage of the fact that Yang Guang and the people around him were unprepared, and suddenly threw something out of her hand, which caught Yang Guang's eyes, and then he felt severe pain in his chest.

Yang Guang felt like the world was spinning for a moment, and the last sound he heard before losing consciousness was Wang Yi shouting: "Stay alive!"
