Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

In July of the fourth year of Renshou (604 A.D.), Yang Jian died of illness in the Great Hall of Renshou Palace.

The dragon and phoenix drums sound, and the Jingyang bell strikes.

Yang Guang is wearing a crown facing the sky, an ocher yellow robe, a beaded belt inlaid with eight treasures across his waist, and carefree shoes on his feet.Surrounded by many eunuchs and maids, with a calm expression, he walked slowly along the steps of the Golden Palace.

He had waited so hard for this day that he took it away before his father passed on the throne.

The former emperor passed away, the deposed prince Yang Yong had been killed, and no one could stop his pace. Thinking that from now on, he would be the master of this great country, Yang Guang couldn't help but smile.

Standing firmly in front of the dragon chair, stretching out his arms, just about to accept the worship of civil and military officials, he heard a burst of shouts from the audience——

Someone yelled: "Wait a minute—"

All civil and military officials and Yang Guang in the palace were shocked, followed the sound and finally saw who was coming, but after seeing clearly, they couldn't help frowning.

Who is coming?

It is Zhongxiao Wang Wu Jianzhang.Speaking of Zhongxiao Wang Wu Jianzhang, that has a lot of background!This person was the founding father of the Sui Dynasty and was revered as the head of the nine elders of the Sui Dynasty.

Wu Jianzhang made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty. Even in the period of Emperor Wen Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, he always said: "If there is no old general Wu Jianzhang, I would not have the foundation of the Sui Dynasty." It can be seen that his contribution is great.

It is precisely because the late emperor attaches so much importance to him... Even if he is certain to die today, he must stand up and uphold justice!

Wu Jianzhang looked at the people in the hall angrily, with tears in his eyes, and a sad voice: "My late emperor—"

As soon as these words came out, could it be that the whole hall was shocked, what does the old prince mean by these words?

Yang Guang was startled, could it be that the things he did were known?But after thinking about it, it should not be possible. Only God knows at this time, he, Yu Huahua and the two of them know that all evidence has been destroyed...

Thinking of this, Yang Guang calmed down a bit, looked at the audience with a smile on his face and said, "Could it be that the old prince is too sad? The late emperor passed away from a long illness."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wu Jianzhang scolded: "Who are you? How dare you make irresponsible remarks to this old man!"

Yang Guang winked at Yu Wenhuaji, who stood up and said: "The old prince is really in a daze, and the current emperor doesn't recognize him anymore."

Wu Jianzhang spat at Yu Wenhuaji: "It's you who are the traitors who help the evildoers and disrupt the imperial court! Kill them and hurry up!"

Wu Jianzhang thought of the late emperor Yang Jian who died unjustly. The two had sworn to Jinlan. It was he who moved to Renshou Palace to recuperate. He often visited him. The two also talked about the throne. , Yang Guang, who had persuaded his elder brother to waste his superficial kung fu, was passed on to Yang Yong, the abandoned prince.

He waited and waited for the past few days, but before he could pass on Yang Yong's edict, even his sworn brother died suddenly!

If it was a coincidence, he would never believe it.

These days, he searched hard. Although there is no real evidence, he already understands the cause and effect of the incident very closely.

At this moment, Wu Jianzhang couldn't bear it any longer, and pointed at Yang Guang on the Golden Luan Palace: "You, what kind of emperor are you worthy of? You bastard! Killing your father and brother, insulting your mother and concubine, Mrs. Xuanhua, messing up human relations, you It's not as good as a beast!"

After all, Wu Jianzhang prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed in the direction of Renshou Palace, and wept bitterly for the late emperor.

Yang Guang's face was calm, as if he was completely unaffected, God knows how many times his mind had been tossed and turned.

First, he was blocked by Wu Jianzhang. Although he was annoyed, he also knew that this person's status was extraordinary. If he would kill him on the day of enthronement, and the one who killed was the founding father, to be honest, Yang Guang didn't have the courage. The officials turned against him, but the gain outweighed the loss, so when Wu Jianzhang first spoke, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending that he didn't hear it, thinking that he would pass after crying, and it was important to get enthroned as soon as possible.

But who would have thought that Wu Jianzhang's words became more and more outrageous, and when he didn't stop at all, he was obviously prepared to denounce him, and he insisted on biting him, which completely offended him!

Yang Guang was thinking about how to hold Wu Jianzhang, who would have thought that the old man would be so aggressive that he would open the coffin for an autopsy on the former emperor and the deposed Empress Yang Yong, and let Mrs. Xuanhua go to the palace to confront him!

As a result, Yang Guang couldn't sit still anymore, and if this matter continued, it would only get bigger and bigger, so anxious, he made a plan, and immediately beat the case and said angrily: "Okay, Wu Jianzhang, you are talking nonsense in the hall. How can I do such unfaithful, filial, benevolent and fraternal things!"

Yu Wenhuaji immediately moved out the imperial edict of the former emperor to set the record straight. According to the edict, Yang Yong is so unbearable, and Yang Guang is so capable, with outstanding military exploits, benevolent and loyal...

Yu Wenhuaji was only halfway through the reading when he was interrupted by Wu Jianzhang. He sneered twice and said, "Excellent military exploits? It was the first emperor's strategy to wipe out Nanchen, and he had the backing king Yang Lin and others to take the lead. You just hang up You are handsome; loving and loyal to the emperor? You are narrow-minded, and you must compare every penny. The former prime minister Gao Ying refused to listen to you and insisted on killing the concubine Chen, the empress dowager. After the death, the left servant shot Lord Li Hun's whole family and drove away Tang Guogong Li Yuan... If you are a wise king, everyone in this world can be a wise king!"

"It's reversed! Come on, someone, tie up this rebellious minister and traitor!"

The guards under his command admired the old prince's upright words, and his righteousness was awe-inspiring, but the emperor dared not refuse to obey him.

Wu Jianzhang was tied up and still refused to give in. He laughed loudly and said, "Yang Guang, how old do you think I am? I am already 73. There are a few 73s in my life. I have lived enough! Today, I will stand in this hall to avenge my blind old brother!"

"Wu Jianzhang, if you still dare to utter wild words and insult me, I will definitely punish you!"

Wu Jianzhang insisted: "Kill it, you kill it, you kill it, you will not be able to sit still!"

There were quite a few people in the hall who sympathized with Wu Jianzhang, but seeing the new emperor's eyes were red, the two of them had quarreled to this point, and it was useless to plead for mercy, and whoever dared to protect him would just die in vain.

Wu Jianzhang was still yelling, Yang Guang became angry and shouted: "Come here, knock Wu Jianzhang's teeth and tongue out, I'll see how he still scolds!"

After all, seeing that no one dared to move in the hall, Yang Guang was very angry and asked, "Where is Zhang Heng?"

Zhang Heng was the one who killed the former emperor Yang Jian, and now he has been reused by Yang Guang. At this time, Yang Guang had an order, so he would naturally take action, and he couldn't help but say that he committed atrocities on the spot in the Golden Luan Hall.

Many courtiers have tears in their eyes, but what can they do?Before Zhang Heng stepped forward, he had already ordered his soldiers to surround the Golden Luan Hall tightly. If they acted rashly, the end would not be so good.

Seeing the old prince being pushed down to the ground with all hands and feet, seeing the copper hammer knocking out his teeth one by one, the iron hook protruding his tongue, and the dagger cutting it off, the blood flowed on the spot. Sobbing.

When Yang Guang let out a bad breath, the old prince Wu Jianzhang was dragged down to the palace, and Yang Guang said again: "There are countless thieves who have committed such crimes, and they should all be executed!" Then he ordered General Tianbao Yuwen Chengdu to go implement.

Yu Wenhuaji walked out at this time and said: "My majesty, this Wu Jianzhang also has a son named Wu Yunzhao, who is the commander-in-chief of Nanyang Pass. The emperor beheaded the whole family of Wu's family. I am afraid that Wu Yunzhao will turn against him at Nanyang Pass. The emperor made a quick decision."

Yang Guang became anxious when he heard this, originally Wu Jianzhang shouldn't have been killed, but this old man didn't know what to do, and he was against him everywhere, he was really forced to do so, he had to kill if he didn't kill now, then he had to cut the grass and root out.

Immediately, he asked all the civil and military officials, who would lead the army to kill Wu Yunzhao.

The old general Shangzhu Guohan who captured the tiger thought that the matter was a foregone conclusion. If he blindly resisted Yang Guang, he would just die one more person, but now he can only plan it slowly.But the Wu family is loyal, but the Wu family has all the families to kill. No matter what, they want to leave a blood for the old prince. Thinking to himself, he recommended himself: "The old minister is willing to go."

Yang Guang squinted his eyes and snorted lightly: "Oh?" He didn't agree.

Yu Wenhuaji was the roundworm in his stomach, how could he not see such thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old general is old, the journey to Nanyang Pass is long, and he is tired. I can recommend someone, Go instead of the old general."

"Yes, the old general doesn't need to bother."

"Your majesty, I also recommend one person as general, Ma Shumou, the left squad leader of the town hall general."

As soon as Yu Huahua and his voice fell, Han Qinhu laughed loudly, and said with contempt in his eyes: "It seems that Prime Minister Yuwen doesn't understand Wu Yunzhao's ability. Is a mere Ma Shumou his opponent? Wu Yunzhao is young and vigorous, and his family Passing the spear is even better."

This is true, this Wu Yunzhao is indeed very brave.But what did Han Qinhu think?He thought that no matter how brave Wu Yunzhao was, he would not be able to defeat the army of the Sui Dynasty. It would be better to recommend a reliable and faithful person to secretly let Wu Yunzhao survive.

Seeing Yu Wenhua and his obstruction, Han Qinhu said unhurriedly: "Since Prime Minister Yuwen is sympathetic to the old minister, he is afraid that he has more heart than strength, and that Uncle Ma is obviously not Wu Yunzhao's opponent, so it is better to be recommended by the veteran One person, what does the emperor think?"

"Who does Old General Han recommend?"

Han Qinhu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The old minister recommends Luo Yi, the king of Beiping, and his son who guard Youzhou."

"My minister recommends the father and son of Luo Yi, the king of Beiping. One is that Beiping's mansion is close to Nanyang Pass. The other is that Luo Cheng, the son of Luo Yi, the king of Beiping, is a young hero. He once rescued the late emperor with just a spoon in the hall. His martial arts skills are superb, and he can rival Wu Yunzhao. , with the strength of his father and son, he must be able to catch it with his hands."
