[Sui and Tang Dynasties] Wise husbands emerge from under the whip

On August [-], [-] AD, in the main hall, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, quelled a conspiracy to usurp without using a single soldier.The mastermind, Yu Wenxin, and his accomplice, Lord Liu, were executed, while their uncles, nephews, and brothers were exempted from death.

The reason why Yang Jian was able to successfully bring down this plotting rebellion so smoothly was because Liang Shiyan’s nephew Pei Tong participated in their plot at first, and then reported them. Liang Shiyan was also involved at that time, so the defendant’s He also existed in the name, but Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty just covered up this matter in advance, and appointed Liang Shiyan as the governor of Jinzhou, intending to continue to observe his intentions.

And Liang Shiyan was not implicated, it was entirely after he promoted Xue Moer, the third secretary of Yitong, to Jinzhou governor to Yang Jian, and Yang Jian also agreed, but he no longer had any contact with Yu Wenxin and Liu, even if this The two came to his house many times, and he only refused to see them on the grounds that he was unwell and needed to rest.

Although he escaped, Liang Shiyan knew that Yu Wenxin still had some clues about him, and as long as Yu Wenxin presented evidence in the hall, such as the secret letters when they had a close relationship, and the paintings with The imperial palace is laid out as a strategically oriented map, as long as it is one of them, then he will not escape this disaster.And according to Yu Wenxin's personality, even if he died, that person would be his back, but he didn't expose him.

When Yu Wenxin was seen through, he went to the execution ground in disguise. He still felt guilty about Yu Wenxin. At the beginning, the two of them hit it off and planned a conspiracy, and then they pulled Liu into him. But now, because of Yang Yong The conversation with the princess was separated, and he no longer interacted with them. In the end, what he faced was the separation of yin and yang.

He can't go to the place where Yu Wenxin is about to go, and Yu Wenxin can't come back.

He should have been rejoicing, should have been happy, but he couldn't be happy, and what he received was only the blame of his conscience.

After all, if he could tell Yu Wenxin and Liu earlier that Yang Jian had already seen through their plot, would the ending change?However, not everything can be both. For example, even if he said, Yu Wenxin and the others might not believe it, or even didn't take it seriously at all and just insisted on going their own way.After all, he still sacrificed them to protect himself. Even if it is said that the darkness of the officialdom is either you or me today, he still can't let it go.

In fact, he knew that Yu Wenxin's end was like this, even if Yang Jian saved his life, there would be no good changes. won't stay.

On August [-]th, the execution ground was full of people, some were watching the excitement, some were passing by to find out, and some were completely ignorant but said some self-righteous words.However, the trend is generally one-sided, talking about how bad Yu Wenxin is, how he wants to usurp the throne, and even the eighteenth generation of his ancestors scolded him.

The sun was so strong that everyone was sweating, and the wind was blowing with the heat wave. No one in the paddock was willing to leave. Those yellow faces were either confused, filled with righteous indignation, or half-frightened and half-curious. Both eyes were one color—the gray of ignorance.

As soon as noon came, the judge shouted for execution, and the executioner raised the steel knife high.The sunlight streaked across the edge of the blade, reflecting the dazzling light, and the hot wind blew up the yellow sand, covering everyone's sight.

Among the people, some women covered their children's eyes to prevent them from seeing, and some clapped their hands when they saw the head fall to the ground.

"This—is the fate of being unfaithful!" The judge stood up and pointed to the two corpses on the ground.

The people gradually dispersed, but Liang Shiyan was still standing there.When he was falling, he saw Yu Wenxin looking towards him, and said something to him silently.

He was dripping with cold sweat, he was a person who had seen the world, but he was sweating from shock.

"Hey! There's nothing else to see, what are you still doing here?" A man wearing a cloth cap pushed Liang Shiyan down and looked him up and down, "You look lost, you don't know that prisoner, do you? "

Liang Shiyan was startled, turned his face away and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know the person you're talking about either."

After speaking, he almost ran away in despair.

On the fourth day of September, instead of going to the morning court as usual, all civil and military officials were brought to Linshe Temple by Eunuch Lin. Although there were doubts all the way, no one dared to say a word.

It's a special period now. I just executed two treacherous courtiers, so I must not show any disloyalty. Besides, Eunuch Lin is a celebrity in front of the emperor. If you offend him, you can't even think about living a good life.So the hundreds of people all lowered their heads, groped and followed, and no one said a word.

After being brought to Linshe Hall, the first thing that catches everyone's eyes is a lot of daily necessities.Tables, chairs, beds, mats, bowls, cups, stoves, etc., whether in shape or engraved on them, are all high-quality things.

Everyone looked at each other after seeing those things, as if the second monk was puzzled.

Could it be that the emperor is in a good mood and asked who among us to take these back?

But it's not right, they don't lack anything, but let's say...the purple gold incense burner is really good, it looks like a valuable thing, and it is very face-saving to keep at home, and that jade pendant, oops!It seems to be priceless too!Unexpectedly, if you don’t see it, you won’t know it. There are still a lot of good things to see.

When everyone was looking at the pair curiously, only Liang Shiyan's expression was ugly.

He recognized the Zijin incense burner, it was given to him shortly after he reached an agreement with Yu Wenxin, the man was dead, but this Zijin incense burner appeared here...

"Brother Huang, why did your father ask us to come here?" Yang Guang walked through the crowd and came to Yang Yong and asked.

Yang Yong looked at the lampshade decorated with red agate and topaz, full of admiration.

It's not that he doesn't have good things, he also likes to collect some beautiful and novel things when he has nothing to do, but that lampshade...is even more beautiful than his home's!Originally, he had collected a multicolored glazed lampshade, pulled it and put it in, and the light would emit colorful light through the lampshade, which was very beautiful.Originally, he wanted to give it to his princess, but now compared with that red agate lampshade, it is obviously not in the same class!

I didn't expect that old thief Yu Wenxin to have such a good thing... If this thing is given to the Crown Princess, she will be very happy...

"Brother Emperor?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Yang Guang spoke again, but he heard him murmur out his heart, "I heard what you said..." Yang Guang clenched his fist and coughed lightly on his lips, his face There was a smile that couldn't be concealed.

Yang Yong's face froze, his embarrassment was fully revealed, he laughed and scratched the back of his head.

"The emperor is here—" Accompanied by Eunuch Lin's sharp and high-pitched voice, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, was dressed in white and escorted by a group of guards to the crowd.

"Participate in the emperor—" A group of people fell to their knees with a crash.

"Pingshen." Yang Jian waved his big hand, pointing at the object, "Did you see those things? Eunuch Lin, bring my bow and arrow."

Yang Jian drew the bow fully, moved his fingers lightly, and the arrow left the string and shot straight through the air. "哗啦——" There was a sound, and many treasures fell on the ground.Yang Yong cried out in surprise, because what Yang Jian shot was the onyx lampshade he was looking for.

What a great lampshade...that would cost a fortune, oh no!Even if it is a lot of money, it may not be able to buy it. It is so broken, what a waste...

Just when Yang Yong felt sorry for the lampshade, he didn't see Yang Jian's gloomy eyes.But Yang Guang saw it, and he went over calmly, knowing that Yang Yong felt sorry for the lampshade, so he used the lampshade to talk to him.Sure enough, after a while, what I saw was Yang Jian's increasingly ugly face.

The corners of his mouth raised upwards, Yang Guang was very satisfied with the results he saw.

"Eunuch Lin, bring the arrow!"

Eunuch Lin responded, and not long after, the guards all came towards the civil and military officials with bows and arrows.The civil and military officers who hadn't figured out the situation thought that Yang Jian was going to kill them, so all of them changed their faces, and some even made a gesture of wanting to escape.

"My love friends, don't panic, I'm giving you bows and arrows, shoot those things as I just did."

As soon as they heard that it was not killing, the crowd let out a sigh of relief.Looking at the bows and arrows handed over by the officers and soldiers, I thought that as long as I didn't risk my own life, but just shot those things, it wouldn't be difficult.

In this way, many people took over.Put in the posture of drawing the bow, and wait for Yang Jian's order.

As soon as Yang Jiang gave an order, many arrows flew out, some that pierced the air, some that swallowed mountains and rivers, or were weak, in short, those who knew how to shoot arrows and those who could not, all were shot.

"Okay——" Yang Jian waved his palm with a solemn expression, "Why did I let all the loves do this? These things belong to Yu Wenxin and Liu. Those who are not loyal to me and want to do evil with wolfish ambitions are the end. !"

"Your Majesty, there is still one person who didn't shoot..." Eunuch Lin interjected when Yang Jian was panting.

Yang Jian looked at him and motioned him to continue.Eunuch Lin felt shy, as if he wanted to say something but dared not.

"Just say, who didn't shoot?"

With Yang Jian's order, Eunuch Lin and Yang Guang looked at each other and only listened to the latter.

"Oh, Brother Huang, why are you still holding the arrow?"

Everyone looked at Yang Yong one after another, and sure enough, the arrow in his hand was still there.

This... Everyone sneaked a glance at Yang Jian, and then at Yang Yong.

His own son openly disobeyed his orders in front of outsiders, even if it was the most beloved son, he would not be able to lose face.Once a man feels humiliated, the general consequences for that man...

"Yonger, why don't you shoot arrows?"

Listen, the emperor's tone has changed, he is really angry!You must know that those things belong to the enemy, the traitors and thieves who want to usurp the throne. Does doing so also represent...

And I heard that His Royal Highness and Yu Wenxin had a relationship before, could it be that...

Yang Yong looked at Yang Jian and said, "Returning to my father, I just feel that people are dead. What is the crime of these things? And they look very expensive. Why don't you sell them for money and help people As for the common people, wouldn’t it be a great loss to destroy them like this?”
