Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 429 Just around the corner

At this time, a Jin Yiwei came over.

"What's the matter?" Yang Yanzhang asked.

Jin Yiwei whispered: "Your Highness, you were imprisoned in the sky prison last night, Yang Xiu was executed, and the body has been pulled to the mass grave in the west of the city."

"Yang Xiu was killed?" Yang Yanzhang said with joy on his face: "Hahaha, once Yang Xiu dies, the Yang family will be leaderless. My father will take control of Luoyang City, just around the corner!"

Jin Yiwei shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid that's not the case."

"What do you mean?" Yang Yanzhang was stunned.

Jin Yiwei was silent for a long time, and then said: "It is said that several nobles from the royal family joined forces to impeach His Majesty."

"What?" Yang Yanzhang said in shock: "Are they crazy!"

"His Majesty is being impeached. How dare they openly contradict His Majesty?"

"Your Highness, please don't act rashly!" Jin Yiwei warned.

"How presumptuous! I am the crown prince, who dares to disobey me!" Yang Yanzhang said angrily: "Send the order and gather troops immediately. I, the crown prince, will attack these rebellious clans!"

Yang Yanzhang was just about to give orders.

At this time, a young eunuch ran over in a panic: "Your Highness, Your Majesty invites you to see me!"

Yang Yanzhang raised his eyebrows.

Since his birth, Li Yuan would invite him to meet him whenever he was free.

Now the sudden summons made Yang Yanzhang feel bad in his heart.

Could it be that the murder of Li Jiancheng’s mother and concubine was exposed?

However, Yang Yanzhang knew very well that if Li Yuan found out about this matter, he would still be dead.

"lead the way."

After a while, Yang Yanzhang was taken to Qianqing Palace.

"My child pays homage to my father." Yang Yanzhang knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Li Yuan said calmly: "Did you do what happened last night?"

"My child is wronged, Father!"

Yang Yanzhang quickly cried out: "Haier didn't attack Yang Xiu at all. He was wronged."

"You did not take action against Yang Xiu." Li Yuan said coldly: "You just borrowed a knife to kill someone."

"You wanted to use the Yang family to deal with Yang Yanzhang, but it's a pity that the Yang family is too stupid to be used by you." Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Not only did they destroy themselves, but they also harmed our country, the Tang Dynasty."

When Yang Yanzhang heard this, he was immediately stunned.

He never expected that the Yang family would be killed by him.

"My child doesn't know." Yang Yanzhang said sadly: "My child has really never harmed anyone in the Yang family. I beg your father to see clearly."

Li Yan, Li Jiancheng and others looked at each other in confusion.

Li Yuan's attitude changed so quickly that they were caught off guard.

"You don't have to pretend." Li Yuan said calmly: "When Yang Xiu dies, the Yang family will be implicated."

"At that time, the entire Yang family will be involved, and it may even implicate the nine clans, including your younger brothers and sisters."

Yang Yanzhang's eyes widened immediately, and he was stunned for a long time before he said tremblingly: "Father, I don't understand."

"You don't need to understand."

Li Yuan waved his hand and said calmly: "In short, there is no hope for your throne."

Yang Yanzhang gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that Yang Xiu was so useless that he would be used by Yang Yanzhang.

He was unwilling to say: "Father, I am your only son. I am the prince. You must make me the prince! Otherwise, you will be killing your son and violating the teachings of your ancestors. You will be despised by all people and you will never be able to hold your head up." of."

Li Yuan was furious and said: "You evildoer, how dare you slander your father."

"Do you know how vicious the crime of killing a son is? Even if you are the prince, you will be punished by the nine clans and your entire family will be executed!"

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will kill you!"

Yang Yanzhang was so frightened that he trembled: "Father, I don't dare to do this anymore."

Although Yang Yanzhang was not angry, he did not dare to continue to pester him and left Qianqing Palace in despair. Back in the East Palace, Yang Yanzhang locked himself in the room, and his mind was filled with Yang Xiu's miserable scream before his death.

He muttered to himself.

Now that Yang Xiu is dead, he is completely finished!

Yang Yanzhang sat on the chair, looking depressed and heartbroken.

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"I should have taken the opportunity to kill Yang Xiu in the first place!"

"If I had killed Yang Xiu earlier, maybe I wouldn't have had these troubles."

He was so remorseful!

If he had known there would be such serious consequences, he would not have dared to kill Yang Xiu.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now." Yang Yanzhang said bitterly: "The most important thing now is to quickly find a scapegoat."

However, at this moment.

"Your Highness, something serious has happened." A eunuch hurried into the palace and said in panic: "Something serious has happened in the palace."

"What's the big deal?" Yang Yanzhang frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, the Prince's Mansion has been burned down!"

Yang Yanzhang suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Get out of here!"

He growled and ran outside.

Yang Yanzhang's Prince's Mansion was originally a mansion and courtyard that he spent huge sums of money to build during the Sui Dynasty.

Later, after he inherited the throne, he gave it to Li Jiancheng.

Yang Yanzhang never dreamed that Li Jiancheng would send people to attack the Prince's Mansion!

The Prince's Mansion was the foundation of Li Jiancheng, and now it was unexpectedly attacked by Li Jiancheng.

In the event of a fire, wouldn't Li Jiancheng's plan be in vain?

"Your Highness, calm down."

Hearing the movement, several of Yang Yanzhang's attendants hurriedly followed behind.

Yang Yanzhang came to the hall of the Prince's Mansion and saw that all the furniture and furnishings in the hall were destroyed.

Seeing this scene, everyone fell to their knees and trembled all over.

At this time, Yang Su walked in quickly and said urgently: "I have ordered people to investigate clearly. The Yang family members were indeed killed by His Highness."

"Father, I really didn't kill him." Yang Yanzhang knelt in front of Li Yuan, crying and begging: "My son is wronged."

Before Yang Yanzhang finished speaking, a commander of the Imperial Army broke in, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, the general has caught the murderer!"

"Quickly tell me who it is!" Yang Yanzhang said hurriedly.

Li Yuan stared at Yang Su with a serious look, and said in a cold voice: "Yang Aiqing, what is going on?"

Yang Su hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the murderer has confessed. His Highness the Crown Prince bribed the assassin in an attempt to put the blame on you."

Yang Yanzhang suddenly turned pale.

"Nie Zhan, what else do you have to argue with?" Li Yuan said angrily: "Come here, take the prince down and take him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice for interrogation!"

Before Yang Yanzhang could react, he lay straight on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged."

It's a pity that Li Yuan's face was livid and he didn't say a word.

"Your Majesty, this case has nothing to do with the prince. You must not vent your anger on the prince for this..."

Yang Su knelt down at Li Yuan's feet and begged bitterly.

Li Yuan looked gloomy but did not answer.

"Father." At this time, Yang Yanzhang struggled to stand up and said hoarsely: "Father, you must help the child."

"Bastard thing."
