On February [-]th of the tenth year of Kaihuang, the emperor's grandson Yang Zhao was granted the title of King of Henan and Yang Kai was given the title of King of Huayang.

Henan Wang Yang Zhao is the eldest son of Jin Wang Yang Guang, and Huayang Wang Yang Kai is the son of Shu King Yang Xiu. Among the many grandchildren, Yang Jian only loves three of them, one is the son of King Changning Yang Yan, the other two are Yang Zhao and Yang Kai.

The evidence of their favor can be seen only by the age at which they were entrusted.

If it is said that they are both eldest sons, Qin Wang Yang Jun is the elder brother, and his son Yang Hao was born earlier than Yang Kai, but he was not enshrined with his cousins.

To Yang Yan's evaluation, the most beloved son of his grandma and grandma is Yang Liang, the youngest son, and the most important thing is his Aye Yang Yong.

Grandma Dugu empress looked at Yang Guang, King of Jin, probably because of his gentleness, courtesy and thrift, but that was also the result of Yang Guang's efforts to pretend for many years.

Yang Yong has been out of town in Luoyang these years, and with the distance, Yang Jian will not feel overwhelmed by the prince's excellence.

Moreover, there were prophecies, which made Yang Jian always suspect what misfortune Yang Yong, the crown prince, had suffered in the end, so he became more tolerant of Yang Yong.

As a prince, Yang Yong is qualified to handle the government affairs of the court, and his popularity among the officials is also very good. Otherwise, in the previous life, in the 18th year of the founding of the emperor, there would not be a large number of courtiers to go to the East Palace to congratulate him Prince.

Looking at the past dynasties, it is almost impossible for the prince to accept congratulations from all officials while the emperor is still alive. If Yang Yong is dissatisfied with the prince's respect and wants to go further, if many officials in the court do not accept the prince, Nor will there be a big scene that alarmed the emperor Yang Jian during the court congratulations.

Empress Dugu is more emotional than Yang Jian. She still has one dissatisfaction with Yang Yong, that is, there are too many concubines in the house, and so far there are no legitimate sons.

If Yang Yan hadn't been raised by her and Yang Jian since childhood, and was very much loved by the Crown Princess, and had always been raised as the grandson of the emperor, I don't know what Empress Dugu would think.

At the end of February, the emperor's decree was sent to Luoyang to call Prince Yang Yong back to Beijing.

It was spring when the prince returned to Beijing.

In the past, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the Northern Zhou Dynasty liked to play polo on this fine spring day. The term was called "Jiju". According to Yang Yan's understanding, it meant "cuju for hitting". At that time, as the son of Sui Guogong, it was natural for him to make friends with the same people. After being a prince for many years, although he was a little obsessed with women, he slowly turned around and developed "killing" into a big hobby.

It's better for the crown prince to be good at a bow than to be close to those common women, so both Yang Jian and Queen Dugu are happy to see it succeed.

On the first day of April, the prince and a group of close officials organized a shooting ceremony. Unexpectedly, his BMW suddenly lost control in the middle, and he threw the prince off the horse. He fell at a high speed, and the prince fell into a coma on the spot, with blood stained red a meadow.

Although it is the lunar calendar, in Yang Yan's view, this day seems to be a black April Fool's Day.

As the eldest son of the crown prince, Yang Yan naturally served the comatose Yang Yong in the East Palace all the time, and knew more about the inside story, so Yang Yong's situation might not be optimistic.

Although under the strict requirements of Yang Jian and Empress Dugu, the imperial physicians in the palace were doing their best to treat the prince, but in order to save his life and prevent the prince's condition from changing, they were angered by the emperor and queen. These people still revealed the truth about the prince. His Royal Highness may be "not hesitant" about the news.

Yang Jian ordered a strict investigation into the case of the prince's falling from a horse—because it happened during the execution, and the case was later called the execution case—but all the clues have been erased.

There are more than a dozen children who raise horses for the crown prince—this is another point of dissatisfaction between Yang Jian and Empress Dugu towards Yang Yong. Yang Guang was better. Originally, King Jin's behavior should be praised by the emperor and queen, but with the prophecy in front of him, when Yang Jian saw that his second son behaved differently from his other sons, he didn't think that this son was naturally frugal, but He said that he imitated Wang Mang's modesty when he did not usurp the Han. Although every horse has a special breeder, everyone is suspicious.

Half a month after the murder case, two people committed suicide. After the clues were broken, the remaining horse breeders were all convicted by Yang Jian and eventually died.

In addition, there are many people related to the murder case who have been closely investigated, but the prince Yang Yong is still not awake, and because of the anger of the emperor Yang Jian, the rumors about the current situation of the prince are getting more and more evil.

There are rumors that His Highness the Crown Prince is dying, so His Majesty will be so angry this time. If the Crown Prince dies, a large number of people will be buried with him; I am afraid that it will be difficult to cure the disability. How can the king of a country allow someone with a disease to be the king? When the bit wakes up, the storage bit will not be guaranteed.

Such rumors, even Yang Yan, who hardly ever went out of the house during this period of time, knew about it, let alone Yang Jian, the emperor.

He has been very concerned about all the troubles related to the prince recently, so he naturally received these news early.

After the eldest son was injured, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo and his wife had already forgotten all their unhappiness towards him, and turned it into deep guilt and love. The unfavorable news about Yang Yong was spread wantonly among the ruling and opposition parties, which has already disgusted the emperor and empress. pole.

Yang Yan served his injured father, and he suffered almost to death. Yang Jian praised him as "true my grandson".

Another reward was sent to the Eastern Palace during the prince's lingering illness, many of which were given to Yang Yan.

In a few days, Yang Yong woke up, Yang Jian was overjoyed, Yang Yong felt ashamed because of the injury, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo just comforted him patiently, and said nothing else.

Yang Yan couldn't hold on after Yang Yong woke up, and was ordered by Yang Yong to go back and take a good rest.

After sleeping for seven or eight hours, Yang Yan finally woke up.

After waking up, he didn't call anyone, but just took out a note from the small pocket in his coat, and wrote a few petty words on it, "The prince's hands and feet are useless, his feet are useable, but his hands are useless." Forget it, he swallowed the note with a pot of cold tea in the room.

He Aye's situation this time was worse than what he knew.

What he knew in the main hall of the East Palace before was a beautified version. He said that the prince was only slightly disabled in both hands. Let the imperial doctor change his mind.

But even so, it is an irreversible fact that Yang Yong is disabled.

Yang Yong's body fell ill due to beheading. This news cannot be concealed. Soon, the court got roughly the exact news. Suddenly, Prime Minister Gao Jiong and other princelings were in dire straits. Those who turned to support other princes felt that they had a chance.

Soon, someone wrote a letter saying that the crown prince is ill, unable to strengthen the country's prestige, and difficult to manage state affairs, please abolish him, so that it will be easier for him to become the crown prince.

The first to stand out is naturally not the prince's person. These days, there are many people who can't see the situation clearly and are eager to eat hot tofu. You can find a few early birds by casually swiping around in the court .

Yang Jian was furious, and severely reprimanded the people who made the memorial, but once this kind of opening is opened, there will be many people in the name of being the great Sui Dynasty, and there are even some pessimistic princelings who think that the prince has been abolished. Let him retreat now as soon as possible, so that he can get better in the future.

Li Chengqian, Li Shimin's abolished prince, became disabled due to illness when he was young. His foot disease has nothing to do with his hands. Propagating his love for the prince suppressed the atmosphere in the court.

But this time Yang Yong was really unlucky, his hands and feet were useless, and his hands were more seriously injured than his feet.

It is not a big deal for the princes and emperors to have foot problems, but they can't use their hands, so how to review memorials?If it is handed over to close people, it can only cultivate a group of close ministers and powerful ministers.

Soon, apart from the Han king Yang Liang who was still in Daxing City, the other three kings also rushed back to the capital. For a while, there were countless bettors, but they all had a common understanding: no matter how much the emperor pities the East Palace, The lineage of Prince Yang Yong has also been abolished.

Yang Yan: Do you really think I'm a dead person?

The ministers and clan: Although it's a bit too much, it's true that you are dead!

Now the five sons are all heirs. Although the prince Yang Yong is the eldest son, after an accident, even the most stubborn old man who supports the heirloom system can't say that he is the heir of the destiny, and the other princes cannot seize the clan;

Because they are all the sons of the eldest son, several uncles of Yang Yan have the chance. Jin Wang Yang Guang has the greatest chance, and Han Wang Yang Liang is the most favored, and the chances of winning are not small. There are also speculators from the other two princes. Come and go, it's so lively.

In contrast, although the prince's lineage is orthodox, it is already obvious that he has lost power. As the grandson of the emperor, Yang Yan is not as eye-catching as his father was when he was healthy.

But when people in the court were speculating, Yang Jian frowned, with a dull expression on his face, and asked his eldest grandson who had always loved him: "Does Jin Lin'er know what I'm talking about?"

"Ah Weng is the son of heaven, and Aye is the prince, so I am the third son of heaven. If Aye has something to do, I will do my best, isn't it okay?"

"...Of course."

The author has something to say: The example of the disabled prince is taken from Li Erfeng’s classmate Prince Gao Ming [Li Chengqian], but in order to let Jin Lin’er take power in advance, he was a little bit harsh on Orz

"The Third Son of Heaven" is an allusion, taken from Tang Xianzong Li Chun's childhood, his father was Shunzong Li Song, who was the prince of Dezong at that time.Li Chun was amused by his grandfather, Emperor Dezong, who was hugged on his lap, and asked him: "Who is your son, in my arms?" He replied: "It is the third emperor."

Moreover, this allusion is inexplicably in line with the situation set by the stupid author. At the end of Emperor Shunzong's reign as the prince, that is, when his father was seriously ill, he suffered a sudden stroke and lost his speech function. As the emperor's grandson, Li Chun of Xianzong, compared with the hard-working princes of the past dynasties, life is of course very comfortable 233333
