Chapter 379 Cruel and ruthless

In an instant, the faces of several chamberlains turned pale and their whole bodies started to tremble.

"You are so brave, you dare to plot against the crown prince." Yang Yanzhang scolded him sternly, and asked: "Which bastard is instigating this, please hurry up and get me."

"Your Highness, calm down." Several chamberlains kowtowed and wailed, "We are also being deceived."

"Who?" Yang Yanzhang asked sinisterly: "If you don't reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, don't blame me for being cruel."

The servant was as silent as a cicada, trembling and dared not speak.

"Don't tell me, right?" Yang Yanzhang sneered, "Then I'll have to send you on your way."

"No." The chamberlain screamed and begged, "Your Highness, please have mercy."

"I'll give you another chance." Yang Yanzhang exhaled softly and said indifferently: "Quickly tell me, is it the Duke of Qin who instigated this?"

"No, no." The waiter shook his head quickly.

Yang Yanzhang sighed: "In that case, then just die."

"Ah~" The waiter was stunned and speechless.

"Kill them." Yang Yanzhang said coldly.

"Here." Several chamberlains hesitated, then rushed over and tied up the chamberlains.

"Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, please spare your life." The chamberlain screamed miserably and struggled: "This slave is willing to confess that it was the Duke of Qin who ordered me. Please be lenient."

Yang Yanzhang's expression was cold and cold, without any emotion at all. He said indifferently: "No need. Come, take him down and behead him in public."

"According to the order." Several warriors immediately dragged several chamberlains and ran straight out of the palace. A moment later, screams were heard outside.

Listening to the miserable sounds outside, Yang Yanzhang showed no mercy on his face. These servants were all his father's people, so to him, they were of no value at all.

So there is no mercy. As for the chamberlain, although Yang Yanzhang didn't know him, he could feel that this chamberlain was not trivial. Perhaps, there was really that person behind this incident.

"Honorable Concubine, haha, that's so interesting." Yang Yanzhang secretly mocked.

early morning.

As the sun rises in the east, the rays of light shine down through the clouds, as if covered with golden-red gauze.

"Mother, mother."

Yang Yanzhang dressed neatly, ran out of the room and called.

"Yanzhang, why are you up so early?" A woman hurried over after hearing the news and asked caringly: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Yang Yanzhang waved his hand and said, "I'm not a child, how can I fall ill so easily."

"It's okay." The woman smiled happily and said, "After breakfast, I asked my servant to help you make a weapon so that you won't be bullied every time you go out."

"Mom, I have grown up." Yang Yanzhang pouted.

The woman smiled and said, "You were raised by your mother, so of course you are considered her son."

"Okay." Yang Yanzhang shrugged and said, "No matter what I do, I can't escape from your clutches, mother. It's really a tragedy."

"You brat, you're just talking nonsense." The woman pretended to be annoyed, glared at Yang Yanzhang, and said, "Today's breakfast will be richer, with more meat and vegetables." "I obey, mother." Yang Yanzhang said with a playful smile: "There will be roasted chicken legs this morning. Bar."

"Stop talking so much." The woman rolled her eyes and urged, "Hurry up and wash up and change clothes."

"Okay." Yang Yanzhang nodded and returned to the inner room to wash up and change clothes.

After a while, the mother and son went to the Taiye Pond to enjoy the fish. There were several koi carp swimming in the lake, with different colors, beautiful shapes and attractive fragrance.

"This is Taiye Pool. It is said to have been built by Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty during the Western Han Dynasty." The woman said, "Not only is the scenery beautiful, but it is also pleasant and the air is fresh, especially in the morning and evening. Extremely comfortable.”

"Mother, is the water here really drinkable?" Yang Yanzhang said in surprise: "It can't be poison, right?"

"What are you thinking about?" the woman laughed and scolded, "This is the summer resort built by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty for Empress Xiaowen. It was built specifically for her. How could there be any poison?"

Yang Yanzhang nodded lightly. This explanation was reasonable. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Xiaowen had a deep love for each other, which was extremely rare in all dynasties. However, ancient people paid much more attention to chastity than modern people.

Chaste and virtuous women abound. It is normal for Yang Guang to build a summer resort for Empress Xiaowen. After all, Empress Xiaowen was the wife of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and his own mother was also born to Empress Xiaowen.

The mother and son chatted for a while, and the woman suddenly said: "Yanzhang, you are not young at all. You should also consider marriage."

"I wonder what mother has to say." Yang Yanzhang asked.

"Mom remembers that your father once proposed that you should be betrothed to His Highness King Jing. Now that Princess Jing has been dead for many years, it is time to find a true concubine to give birth to your majesty's direct bloodline." The woman hesitated for a moment and said softly. .

"Prince Jing?" Yang Yanzhang blinked, a little confused.

This King of Jing, Li You, was the ninth son of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and was a cousin of Yang Yanzhang. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was demoted for making mistakes. Later, he joined Guo Wei, the Duke of Qin, and successfully seized the position of Youzhou Mu.

According to history, after Li You succeeded Youzhou Mu, he began to put pressure on Li Yuan, which led to Li Yuan's death from serious illness, and then Yang Yanzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

After Yang Yanzhang ascended the throne, he abolished the kings, but did not abolish Li You. He still named him King Jing and allowed him to stay in Chang'an City and continue to serve as regent. However, Yang Yanzhang was obviously not sure of controlling Li You.

After all, Li You is the grandson of Li Yuan. He has followed Li Yuan for many years. His loyalty and courage are definitely not comparable to that of Yang Yanzhang.

Li You is the third son of the Li family. As the prince, Yang Yanzhang will inevitably suffer from the jealousy of other brothers. Yang Yanzhang must have a force of his own to ensure that he can smoothly secure the position of prince in the future.

Yang Yanzhang desperately hopes to have his own team that can be trusted by both men and women.

"What are your plans for Yanzhang?" The woman smiled and said, "If Yanzhang is interested, mother will go to find out what King Jing has to say for you."

Yang Yanzhang was silent for a moment, shook his head and refused: "I don't want to talk about this topic for the time being."

"Yanzhang." The woman sighed softly: "Don't blame mother for forcing you."

This topic is indeed a bit sensitive, and Yang Yanzhang is somewhat resistant, but also a bit conflicted. After all, he is the only legitimate son of the Li family and is destined to inherit the Li family.

With such an identity, it is difficult not to attract people's jealousy. Yang Yanzhang even vaguely sensed that his every move might be under the surveillance of others.

This taste is very unpleasant.

"Yanzhang, mother knows that you want to monopolize authority and master the power, but you should also understand that you cannot stay in the palace all your life." The woman comforted: "When you ascend the throne, you will definitely appoint a virtuous concubine. You should prepare early. Good, otherwise, it will be too late by then.”

"Yes." Yang Yanzhang nodded slightly and suddenly asked: "Mother, our Li family is in the military now, who holds important positions."
