Zhu Changxiao's version of the Sui Dynasty

On the night of the funeral of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, who was about to ascend the throne, braved the disapproval of the world and had an affair with his stepmother, Mrs. Xuanhua, Chen Shuxuan.

Seeing Xiao Jun's numb eyes, the maid Jing Yan walked aside and comforted her:"Perhaps it was Mrs."

"I can't hate her, I can't fight in the palace anymore"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty was originally an upright gentleman, but you were seduced by Mrs. Xuanhua, and you still tolerated her?……"

Xiao Jun said:"There are countless people who died in vain. How many innocent people died because of the love between men and women and the fight for the throne."

Xiao Jingyan looked unconvinced at Mrs. Xuanhua, Xiao Jun said:"Today I will be keeping watch at night, and the crown prince is about to ascend the throne. No one can cause trouble and cause trouble again."

Several white candles decorated the dark mourning hall, and the white streamers and silk damasks swayed in the cold wind with the wind blowing in from outside the door. , the atmosphere is desolate.

Xiao Jun kept vigil for Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty in the Dabao Hall all night. At dawn, it was already dark, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the deserted mourning hall. Then he saw Prince Yang Guang coming in a hurry. When he saw Xiao Jun, he was a little surprised and asked:" I am really sorry that my beloved concubine is here to keep vigil." Xiao Jun suppressed the anger in his heart and said:"I know that Your Highness went to Mrs. How embarrassed are you?"

Yang Guang looked a little worried and said with a wry smile:"Madam is weak, please show some concern, it is inevitable."

"Last night, the Duke of Yue came to express his condolences. He asked his concubines to tell the prince that he should return to Beijing as soon as possible to be crowned and enthroned, so as to avoid long delays in Qishan and long nights and dreams."

"My beloved concubine is right. The Imperial Palace will return to the capital tomorrow to prepare for the enthronement ceremony."

After warning Yang Guang, Xiao Jun went back to rest. Among the palace people accompanying him stood the eunuch Wang Wentong. Yang Guang said to Wang Wentong:"The Crown Princess seems to have known that I am visiting Xuanhua. You can arrange it immediately. Let Mrs. Xuanhua return to the capital first and not be taken to the palace."

"The old slave took Mrs. Xuanhua to Xiandu Palace. If the prince wanted to visit, she should be closer."

"It's best if you do it right away."After receiving the decree, the great eunuch Wang Wentong went to arrange for Mrs. Xuanhua to return to the capital.

Yang Guang also conveyed the decree and ordered the imperial army to protect the coffin of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty back to the capital. On the way from Qishan to the capital, the flags were replaced by white flags, and the military uniforms were replaced by plain shirts. Hao Hao Returned to Daxing City in a mighty manner. It can be said that the hundred thousand soldiers of the forbidden army were trained in vain, and the mourning king's coffin was moved. Who was happy with the mourning of the whole country, and the new king came to the throne and his fortune was opened. In the autumn of the fourth year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang ascended the throne, and was known as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in history. At the enthronement ceremony, the new king was enthroned, a general amnesty was granted to the whole world, and the whole world celebrated. The royal family members, civil and military officials came to congratulate one after another. The officials who assisted

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to the palace to award awards in turn, with Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, and Xiao Cong, the Duke of Ju, being the first. Auxiliary, with the same palm phase, arranged on the left and right, Yang Yue, Yu Wenshu, Zhuge Ying, Zhang Heng, Pan Hui, Zhao Cai, Xiao Xun, Xiao Jue, Xiao Yu, Duan Da and other direct ministers were ranked in the imperial class, each with their own merits After the congratulations were over, Yuwenshu was granted the honorary title of Duke Xu, and he was given the title of General Zuo Yiwei. His high rank was enviable, and even Yuwenshu himself walked with a square step. When a dragon walks, it rains, and when a tiger walks, it rains. It was windy and very impressive.

After leaving the imperial city, I was about to get on the sedan chair when I heard someone shouting from the side:"Master Yuwen, Master Yuwen……"When Yu Wenshu heard the shout, he felt familiar and very cordial. He turned around and saw that it was Yun Dingxing, followed by two servants.

"Mr. Yun, in such a hurry, what advice do you have?"

"Don't you dare? I have something to discuss with your lord."

Seeing the meaning in Yun Dingxing's words and the way his eyes were shining, Yu Wenshu smelled the mystery in it and said with a smile:"There are many people outside the imperial city gate, why don't you come to my house to talk."

"So the best."

Yun Dingxing, like a follower, quickly followed Yuwenshu's official sedan and went to Yuwenshu's house.

When they arrived at Yuwen's house, Yuwenshu and Yun Dingxing sat down respectively. The family poured tea, and Yuwenshu asked :"How come Mr. Yun has the honor to come to see me? He is such a rare visitor. Yun Dingxing smiled and said:"

Yesterday I was riding a horse in the suburbs of the city and occasionally saw Mr. Ling's culture and hunting. However, the hunting tent was a bit old. There was a pearl-topped tent underneath, which has been treasured for many years. It is better to give it to Mr. Ling for use.""

While speaking, Yun Dingxing waved his hand and summoned two servants. Only then did he see the two servants carrying a large cloth bag and opening it to reveal a curtain inlaid with pearls and made of bright silk.

Yu Wenshu could tell at a glance. Such a good network account must have been obtained by the old guy Yun Dingxing from the deposed prince Yang Yong. Today, the night owl comes into the house and comes for everything.

Yuwenshu said happily:"Mr. Yun is so kind and generous, which makes Yuwenshu really happy." I'm flattered"

"Sir, you are very polite. I have a hard time asking for help."

Yu Wenshu made a close guess in his mind and did not refuse. He asked directly:"Mr. Yun, why don't you just say it?"

"The old man was confused for a moment, and he actually took a fancy to Yang Yong's unfulfilled child. Now that the new king has come to the throne, I am in a difficult situation. Mr. Yuwen is enjoying a good time in the officialdom. I hope that you will recommend an official position so that I can support my family."

"Um……"Yu Wenshu nodded and said:"Mr. Yun has followed Yang Yong for many years. It is indeed a pity that he is born at the wrong time. But Mr. Yun, do you know why we can't arrange for you to take a position? You are the father-in-law of the deposed prince Yang Yong. You The daughter gave birth to a son for Yang Yong. One day they will be able to make a comeback, which is a serious problem for the current emperor."

"What does Lord Yuwen mean? Yuwen said:"The emperor has arrested the deposed prince Yang Yong, the consort Liu Shu, the party leader Yan Rong, Quan Wu, Li Yuantong and others. If you can boldly report them and put Yang Yong to death, the emperor will naturally not treat you badly." Yun

Dingxing was obsessed with officials at this time, and he immediately bowed and thanked him:"Thank you, sir, for reminding me. I will immediately draft a memorial requesting the execution of Yang Yong and his heirs." Yu

Wenshu was overjoyed and said with a sly smile:"Mr. Yun's ability to destroy relatives with justice is admirable.""Yun Dingxing climbed up the big tree of Yuwenshu to keep himself an official and a semi-noble. He had already ignored his family ties. It can be said that many people seek official career and officialdom, only to cause trouble for the nobility. Killing his son-in-law and killing his grandson will cut off the love relationship. Breaking promises and humiliating the Spring and Autumn Period.

It is said that in the morning of the next day, hundreds of officials went to the palace. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sat on the dragon chair. Yu Wenshu came out and said:"Your Majesty, I have a copy of the memorial to be presented on your behalf. Emperor

Yang of the Sui Dynasty asked:"Yu Wen Aiqing, who are you writing this for?""

"The father-in-law of Yang Yong, the deposed prince, was Yun Dingxing, the former head of the East Palace."

The civil and military ministers in the palace were shocked when they heard Yun Dingxing's name. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not expect that Yun Dingxing's name would appear at this time, so he asked:"Why did Aiqing write the manuscript for Yun Dingxing?"

Yu Wen said:"Since Yang Yong was deposed as a commoner, Yun Dingxing has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, reporting traitors. Now Yun Dingxing has requested an order to kill Yang Yong, a commoner, and implicated Yang Yong's ten sons. Executed to death!"

When the memorial was presented, hundreds of officials in the court were extremely surprised. As the saying goes, a tiger cannot eat its own children. Who would have thought that Yun Dingxing would deal such cruelty to his son-in-law and grandson without any regard for family affection.

Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty read the memorial and, on the surface, His face was dull, but he was very surprised in his heart. Ever since he won the crown prince's position from his own brother, he had been worried all the time. If Yang Yong regained the throne one day, how could he be spared?

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty pretended to ask Yu Wenshu:" Yuwen Aiqing felt that if I was right, would I be too ruthless?"

Yu Wenshu is so smart, he is the best at understanding Yang Guang's heart, and replied:"Yun Dingxing, as Yang Yong's father-in-law, can still kill his relatives in a righteous way. For the long-term peace of the court, the emperor should also have the courage of a strong man to cut off his wrist."

After hearing this, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty showed a sinister smile on his face, but he was noticed by Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, who was standing at the front of the hundred officials. Yang Su was now the chief minister of the dynasty, and he just happened to be able to maneuver according to the wind, and he also played:"What Lord Yuwen said is absolutely true. Your Majesty must not dwell on personal affairs and leave a source of disaster."

When all the officials saw that the chief ministers of the dynasty had spoken, they also echoed the words. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was very proud and said:"I can't bear brothers killing each other, but Yang Yong is unethical and has lost his heart. God's will is like this. Follow God's will. An order was sent to the Duke of Yue, Yang Su, to lead the imperial army to arrest Yang Yong's family and their heirs, and to put them to death!"

After the imperial edict of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was passed, the east gate gate was wide open. Hundreds of soldiers of the forbidden army, with hurried steps and shining armor, approached the forbidden area of ​​​​the east palace.

Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, hung a sword on his waist and came with a fierce look in his eyes. In the side courtyard of the East Palace, Yang Yong, the deposed prince, was imprisoned here. Yang Yong had not been seen for a long time. When he saw Yang Su, his eyes were filled with contempt. Yang Su held the imperial edict in his hand and said:"The emperor has a decree to grant the deposed prince Yang Yong to commit suicide. I appreciate this."

A guard next to him came in and poured the poison. Yang Yong looked pale and asked,"Which emperor gave this imperial edict?"

Yang Suyan said:"Prince Yang Guang has ascended the throne.""

Yang Yong learned that Yang Guang had ascended the throne and expected that Yang Jian must be dead, so he knelt down and cried bitterly, wailing for his father. As he cried, the poison was handed to him. Yang Yong took the poison and said silently:"I was wronged. , I was wronged……"So he committed suicide by taking poison. This is what it is: biological brothers fake family ties, the same blood becomes bloody.

The East Palace is stained with the blood of injustice, and the imperial court will lament and weep for eternity.

At this time, Crown Princess Xiao Jun has been appointed as the queen, and she returned to the East Palace with a group of palace ladies to pack up her old belongings. I saw more than ten corpses being carried out from the Forbidden Palace Gate in the distance of the East Palace, all wrapped in white cloth.

Empress Xiao called a young eunuch and asked:"What happened in the Forbidden Palace?"

The young eunuch replied:"The emperor sent Yang Yong, the deposed prince, to death, and the Duke of Yue sent poisoned wine and killed ten of Yang Yong's sons. Children, only the female family members are left as palace slaves"

"ah?"Queen Xiao was shocked, her eyes were full of devastation, and she said:"The intention is so vicious, as the chief minister, why didn't Yang Su persuade the emperor, even ten children were not spared."

It turned out that Yang Yong had one wife and four concubines, and gave birth to ten sons in total for Yang Yong. This time, they were all poisoned and executed. Xiao Jingyan looked at the corpses, trembling with fear, and advised Empress Xiao:"Everyone in the palace is here. Legend has it that Yang Su was cruel to the clan, and it turned out that out of the emperor's four brothers, only Yang Liang, the king of Han, was left."

Queen Xiao thought about it and thought it was true. She talked about several of Yang Guang's brothers and felt that the killings in the fight for the throne were too much. The clan suffered frequent misfortunes, which was very detrimental to the court.

Queen Xiao returned to the palace and prepared to wait for the emperor's return. , and said a few words. Xiao Jingyan, the maid, poured tea and brought it to the front. Xiao Jun picked up the covered cup, blew on the tea leaves, and was about to drink it. Suddenly, a eunuch hurried over, and Xiao Jingyan asked:"What's the urgent matter in such a hurry? ? The little eunuch said:"Princess Lanling wants to see the empress. The eunuch outside said that the empress has rested, but the princess still doesn't listen and wants to break into the palace to see her.""It's true: when fighting for the throne, state affairs are calm, but when family ties are broken, they are ruthless.

When a ruler rules over the world, he loses all benevolence and justice and only paves the way for imperial power.
