Chapter 485 The temptation to go home

A farmer was driving a donkey on the mountain trail on the cliff. The donkey walked tightly beside the cliff. The farmer was frightened and pulled it into a little. It refused. If it tried a little hard, it roared and bitten, kicked and jumped randomly. As a result, it fell into a deep valley. The farmer stretched his head and looked down with a serious look on his face: "Master Donkey, you have won."

"Report to the Empress, I heard by chance that there were officers and soldiers outside the palace discussing rebellion. Please ask the Empress to investigate carefully and report to Your Majesty as soon as possible."

After a look at the loyal palace maid who was kneeling in front of him, Empress Xiao, who was calm and beautiful, had no surprise expression, as if this matter was very ordinary and unconventional. After thinking about it for a while, Empress Xiao said: "Your Majesty may be here later. You can report this to Your Majesty in person."

The loyal palace maid promised. After a while, Emperor Yang of Sui entered Empress Xiao’s bedroom with alcohol and many concubines. When he was performing the salute, the loyal palace maid said the words just now to Emperor Yang of Sui. As a result, the loyal palace maid never dreamed that what was waiting for her was not a reward for loyalty, but a roar in a furious roar, "Bold slut, you little palace maid, what is the right to talk about major affairs in the court? The person came, drag the slut out and beheaded."

The hot blood of the loyal palace maid did not scare people later. On the evening of the day, another palace servant came to Empress Xiao to report, saying that someone outside the palace was trying to rebel. He glanced at her husband who was already sleeping drunk in the beauty's arms. Empress Xiao's expression was calmer than before, and she said her famous saying that was recorded in history, "The world is not until this period, and she has finished her energy. Don't say anything else, it will only make Your Majesty worry and trouble."

No palace servant mentioned this again, Brother Yang, you won

When rumors of someone going to rebel outside the palace were quietly circulating in the palace, an even more amazing rumor spread quickly outside the palace. I don’t know who spread the news, but it was said that Emperor Yang of Sui was making a large amount of poisoned wine, preparing to issue it in the name of reward, poisoning all the Chinese soldiers in Jiangdu, leaving only the southern soldiers to survive.

The rumors are ridiculous, but the soldiers of Xiaoguo Guard, who are mainly from Guanzhong soldiers, believe it very much. Countless unpopular wills and government orders have seriously overdrawn the prestige of Emperor Yang of Sui. The longing for relatives in his hometown has blinded the eyes and reason of the soldiers of Xiaoguo Guard, making every soldier of Xiaoguo Guard think that this is not a rumor, but a fact. In fear, the soldiers of Guanzhong Guard told each other one after another, and the thought of the army's morale being shaken and the refusal to wait for death quickly took root and sprouted in the hearts of the soldiers of Guanzhong.

The morale of the army was available. On the same day, the fifth day of the second month of the 14th year of Daye, the general of the Xiaoguo Guard, Sima Dekan, suddenly summoned all the Xiaoguo Guard generals, claiming that the rumors were true. The generals of the Xiaoguo Guard had died in the evening. They also announced plans and decided to launch a mutiny under the leadership of Yu Wenji, forcing Emperor Yang of Sui to abdicate, support the new king of Shengming ascend the throne, and then escort the new king back to his hometown in Guanzhong.

On the one hand, there was a threat of dying and on the other hand, the temptation to go home. Most of the Xiaoguo Guard generals made the right choice, agreed to accept Sima Dekan's plan, and expressed allegiance to Yu Wenhua and the sudden appearance of rituals. Only a few Xiaoguo Guard generals looked hesitant and hesitant. Yu Wenhua and saw the thoughts of these people, then shouted: "Fan Wenchao, do you guys, do you want to continue to work for the foolish lord?"

Fan Wenchao, who was named by Yu Wenchao, was shocked and went out to see the door. Seeing that Sima Dekan's confidant soldiers were already standing in the courtyard outside the door, Fan Wenchao also obediently made a decision that was enough to make his father Fan Zigai lively. He bowed to Yu Wenchao and said, "I am willing to follow Xu Gong to do great things, abolish the foolish monarch, and establish a new monarch."

Several other hesitant generals of Xiaoguowei also bowed their heads in the face of the threat of death and agreed to follow Yu Wen and Sima Dekan. Yu Wen and he was overjoyed and immediately took out the documents of the rebellion and ordered everyone to sign and seal it, drink blood and wine to make a poison oath, and then announced the specific action plan, and decided to start the matter in the evening, lead the army to Jiangdu Palace to take action, and directly announced the route to enter the palace - coincidentally, it was the palace gate called Xuanwu Gate.

This is a mutiny plan with loopholes and flaws. In fact, after the generals of the Xiaoguowei dispersed and prepared, before the evening was late, a shaken person sent a confidant to the camp to report the emergency and betray Yu Culture and Sima Dekan's mutiny plan. However, the seventy yards of the historical wheel were not stopped by manpower, and the Lunren Yu Culture and Sima Dekan's luck was not ordinary, and the luck of Emperor Yang of Sui and the Sui court was not ordinary.

The confidant sent by Jiangyang Chief Zhang Huishao successfully sent the news to Pei Yun, an important minister of the Sui Dynasty who had just left the imperial city after completing official duties. Pei Yun, who was known as a treacherous minister, was very sober at this moment. He was shocked and immediately returned to the imperial city. He found Yu Shiji, the only minister of the Inner History who was qualified to enter the palace at this moment. He forwarded Zhang Huishao's secret report to Yu Shiji, and asked Yu Shiji to enter the palace immediately to ask Emperor Yang of Sui to immediately mobilize troops outside the city to enter the city to suppress the rebellion, and capture the mutiny leaders such as Yuwen brothers and Sima Dekan.

Yu Shiji, who was equivalent to the senior brother of Huashan, was as confused as the senior brother of Huashan at this moment. He suspected that the news sent by Zhang Huishao at the risk of death was untrue, and he refused and refused to enter the palace to cause trouble to Emperor Yang of Sui, so he refused. Pei Yun also knew that Yu Shiji had his difficulties, so he immediately came up with a solution, suggesting that Yu Shiji impose an edict to dispatch troops outside the city to enter the city to protect the palace and prevent it. He also promised that even if Emperor Yang of Sui was accustomed to his surprise, he would bear the crime with Yu Shiji.

The troops garrisoned outside the city returned to Hu'er, who was combat-ready and loyal and obedient. If Yu Shiji could follow Pei Yun's advice, then the seventy-yard wheels in history would have the chance to be stepped on the brakes. However, at this critical moment of life and death, Yu Shiji hesitated and did not make a decision for a long time, wasting his last response time.

At the same time, the Xiaoguowei camp in the East City of Jiangdu was already filled with fire. More than 20,000 Xiaoguowei soldiers who participated in the mutiny used to turrets, reflecting half of the sky red and the fire was so bright that even Emperor Yang of Sui, who was visiting the pillars in the palace, could see clearly, and once suspected that there was something change in the city, so he quickly found the Hu Ben Lang, who was in the palace, to ask about the situation.

"Report to Your Majesty, there is a fire in the grass cottage in the city. The soldiers and civilians in the city are putting out the fire soon. Please don't worry, Your Majesty." The general on duty, Pei Qiantong, who answered Emperor Yang of Sui, believed his explanation and ignored it.

The fire quickly approached the imperial city and the palace city. Yuanli, who was guarding the imperial city and Pei Qiantong, who was guarding the imperial city, had already secretly ordered that the gates of the imperial city and the palace city should not be locked tonight. Each city gate could be opened with a light push. Everyone in the Xiaoguo Guard who was tyrenched with a torch looked serious, and almost had one thought in his heart, "Let the tyrant abdicate, support the new emperor, and take the new emperor home."

Sima Dekan, Yuwen Zhi and the rebels jointly commanded quickly controlled all intersections in the city and prohibited everyone from passing. I realized that the situation was not good, Yang Zhen, the eldest son of Emperor Yang of Sui, under the protection of Liang Gong Xiao Ju and Qianniu, entered the imperial city from the sluice beside Fanglin Gate, and came outside Xuanwu Gate to ask for an immediate visit to Emperor Yang of Sui. However, he was quickly captured by Pei Qiantong's subordinates, blocked his mouth and tied it to a hidden place to guard.

At the same time, Yu Shiji finally made up his mind and agreed to Pei Yun's suggestion to summon troops outside the city to enter the city to protect the troops. However, it was too late to do so. Before they could write the false edict, the Xiaoguowei rebels had already entered the imperial city under the support of Yuan Li, and quickly slapped the key points. Seeing this, Pei Yun could only sigh to the sky, "Yu Shiji, I'm discussing a big deal with you. I'm really looking for the wrong person." Yu Shiji's whole body was sweating like a slurry, trembling and dared not refute.

Pei Qiantong also responded in the palace city. The Xuanwu Gate, which had been closed to Yang and others, opened the rebels. The rebels rushed in. Pei Qiantong also led the rebels directly to capture Emperor Yang of Sui. It was at this time that Emperor Yang of Sui, who was drinking with his favorite concubine Wei and others, finally found that the situation was not good, so he quickly stood up and fled west, and at the same time sent people to contact the confidant generals such as Hu'er and Dugu Sheng, and ordered them to lead their troops into the palace to quell the rebellion.

Not only did Emperor Yang of Sui fail to send his orders out of the palace, Dugu Sheng, who was on duty in Chengde Hall, led the soldiers in the hall to stop the rebels, but was quickly killed by the numerous rebels. Qianniu Dugu Kaiyuan led hundreds of palace soldiers to search for Emperor Yang of Sui, trying to protect him from leaving the palace city to avoid swords and soldiers, but because Emperor Yang of Sui was hiding himself and disappeared, Wei and others deliberately misdirected the direction of Emperor Yang of Sui, and they always looked for Emperor Yang of Sui, which caused Dugu Kaiyuan's soldiers to be frightened and gradually fled. In the end, no rebels took action. Dugu Kaiyuan, the army that was loyal to Emperor Yang of Sui, collapsed on its own.

The Wei family and others betrayed Emperor Yang of Sui once again and pointed out the direction of Emperor Yang of Sui's real departure to the rebels. The rebel soldiers led by the Xiaoguowei Guard Captain Linghu Xingda took the lead in finding Yongxiang where Emperor Yang of Sui was hiding. Originally, Emperor Yang of Sui was hiding in a hidden place Linghu Xingda and others found it difficult to find him, but Emperor Yang of Sui, who had completely lost the hearts, was betrayed again. A beauties in the palace pointed out the hiding place of Emperor Yang of Sui. Linghu Xingda brought a knife and stepped forward. When he opened the curtain, he saw Emperor Yang of Sui hiding behind the curtain.

At the moment of life and death, the shrewdness and majesty of the past returned to Emperor Yang of Sui. Facing the aggressive Linghu Xingda and others, Emperor Yang of Sui shouted loudly: "Do you want to kill the monarch?"

The accumulated power is still there, and Emperor Yang of Sui made Linghu Xingda and others take a step back involuntarily. Then Linghu Xingda bowed to Emperor Yang of Sui and said, "I dare not. I just want to return to my hometown in Guanzhong because my soldiers want to return to my hometown in Guanzhong. I want to ask Your edict to descend and lead all civil and military officials to return to Daxing in Guanzhong."

With the last glimmer of hope, Emperor Yang of Sui nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you to ring the Jingyang Bell, let all officials enter the palace to hold a court meeting, and I will issue an edict to return home."

More and more rebel soldiers arrived at the scene. Seeing that Emperor Yang of Sui was in control, the cheers of rebel soldiers gradually spread everywhere. Originally, Linghu Xingda had agreed to send someone to ring the Jingyang Bell, but after the news was sent to Yu Wen and his brothers, Yu Wen and Que, who were so nervous that they were sweating all over, shouted: "Don't be fooled, he wanted to meet all officials, let those people save him, take him into the bedroom, and guard him closely to me."

Yu Wenji's orders were extremely useful at this moment. The tense rebel soldiers subconsciously and unconditionally executed them. They immediately asked and forced Emperor Yang of Sui to return to his bedroom. At the same time, Emperor Yang of Sui's youngest son Yang Gao was also captured by the rebel soldiers and was also taken to the bedroom to imprison him with Emperor Yang of Sui. Pei Qiantong, Linghu Xingda, Meng Bing and Ma Wenju and other rebel leaders each held swords and kept them in close custody, and did not allow Emperor Yang of Sui to leave the Dragon Bed one step.

The key points of the palace city fell into the hands of the rebels one after another. The guards loyal to Emperor Yang of Sui, represented by Dugu Kaiyuan, were either killed or forced to put down their weapons to surrender. At the same time, the same situation was true for the imperial city outside. The large and powerful rebels controlled the gates of the imperial city and cut off the internal and external traffic of the imperial city. Another rebel general, Tang Fengyi, firmly guarded the gates of the outer city, and did not give the outside army the opportunity to enter the city. The progress was unexpectedly smooth. When it was dawn, the inside and outside of the palace had fallen into the control of the rebels. Yu Wenhua and his brothers led a group of rebel leaders to the bedroom to meet Emperor Yang of Sui.

The reunion of the king and his ministers was extremely embarrassing. Yu Wenji, who was timid and cowardly, did not dare to look at Emperor Yang of Sui. However, Emperor Yang of Sui was very calm at this moment. He hugged his youngest son Yang Gao who was crying and calmly said: "Huaji, I heard that you are the leader of this matter. What is my crime? Why do you do this?"

Yu Wenju, who was trembling slightly, could not answer, but the rebel general Ma Wenju stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne, you have left the ancestral temple and kept parading, fighting frequently, and doing your best to be extravagant and debauchery at home. As a result, all young and strong men died under war, women, old and weak died in the ravines, the people were living in misfortune, and thieves rose up, blindly appointing treacherous and slanderous, literary misfortune, and refusing to accept advice, so why would you be guilty?"

It was Emperor Yang of Sui's turn to be speechless. After a moment of silence, Emperor Yang of Sui said, "I am sorry to the people of the world, but I am worthy of the glory and wealth that you have given you? Why do you still want to do this?"

It was the rebel generals again that they could not answer. Immediately afterwards, Emperor Yang of Sui looked around everyone present, and suddenly pointed at Fan Wenchao who was standing behind Sima Dekan and shouted: "Fan Wenchao, I really never dreamed that you were the same group of your father Fan Zigai, how loyal to me? How loyal to me was your father who discovered Chen Yingliang and Chen Aiqing for me? How loyal to me is to you? Today, you are in trouble with the thief. What will you see your younger generation Chen Yingliang in the future? After you die, what will you see your father in the nine springs?"

Fan Wenchao, the tiger father and dog son, looked ashamed, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Emperor Yang of Sui said loudly again: "You listen to me, stop now, I will spare you all the time, I will never pursue the matter today."

Not to mention, Emperor Yang of Sui really scared some rebel generals, which made some rebel generals shake their psychology. Unfortunately, Sima Dekan, Pei Qiantong and others were not fooled, and shouted together: "Don't be fooled by this tyrant without trust. We will stop now, and we will just die without a burial place, and we will just kill him directly."

The terrifying appearance once again scared Yang Gao in Emperor Yang's arms, causing Yang Gao, who was only twelve years old, to burst into tears again. Pei Qiantong was annoyed. Yu Qianqian snatched Yang Gao and waved his hand and cut off Yang Gao's head. Blood splattered in his neck, which immediately spilled all over Emperor Yang's body and face, which shocked Emperor Yang of Sui.

"Everyone come together and kill this foolish monarch." Linghu Xingda raised his sword and roared. Everyone agreed with a loud voice, and they all raised their swords to dismember Emperor Yang of Sui.

"Another, the emperor has his own way of dying, so why should he use a sharp blade?" Emperor Yang of Sui, who knew that his death date had arrived, became even calmer and shouted: "I will commit suicide by taking poisoned wine."

"When is it now? Let's go there to find poisoned wine?" Sima Dekan sneered.

Emperor Yang of Sui did not speak, but just took off his clothes and tied his belt and handed it to the rebels. Linghu Xingda, Ma Wenju and others understood it. He took the belt and went forward to put it on Emperor Yang of Sui. In the last moment of his life, Emperor Yang of Sui once again restored his wisdom and wisdom to ascend the throne, and quickly said loudly: "My last decree is to order King Yang Tong of Yue to inherit the throne, give Daxing the fake Huang Yue to stay in Daxing, and to hold the throne, and grant the title of General of the Left Guard, assist the King of Yue to ascend the throne, and avenge me, no matter who you are, first send my will to the Eastern Capital and to Daxing, I..."

"Strike him to death." Yu Wen Zhiji woke up and shouted. Linghu Xingda, Ma Wenju and others also quickly started to pull the belt, which led to the belt tightly tie the neck of Emperor Yang of Sui.

"I grant pardon, pardon his immortality..." This was the last sentence of Emperor Yang of Sui's life. After his belt tied his neck, he could not make any sound. His breathing gradually broke, his eyes gradually filled with blood. Finally, his head tilted and his death was on the spot.

Many people were buried with Emperor Yang of Sui. After hanging Emperor Yang of Sui, the rebel general who was red-eyed killed his Changsun Yan King Yang, Xiao Ju, Yu Wenpin and others. Then they killed King Yang Xiu of Shu who was detained in the Xiaoguowei camp and his seven sons. At the same time, they sent people to the door to kill King Yang Nan of Qi, who was never loved by Emperor Yang of Sui, and Yang Nan's two sons. The royal family and relatives of the Sui court in Jiangdu were almost slaughtered. Only Emperor Yang Hao, the nephew of Emperor Yang of Sui, had to escape and died, and was supported by Yu Wen and his brothers as the puppet emperor.

Yu Shiji, the Minister of Inner History, Pei Yun, the Censor of the Censor, Lai Huer, the Secretary-General of the Left Guard, Yu Wen Xie, the General of the Right Guard, and Yu Wen Chong, and their sons were also killed. Except for Yu Shiji and Yuan Chong who insisted on moving the capital, it can be said that they deserved it, everyone else could be said to have died unjustly, especially the General of the Left Guard, who came to Huer. He was deeply grateful for his military morale and was afraid of Yuwen's brothers and the rebel generals because of his high prestige. Even though he knew that he firmly opposed the moving of the capital and repeatedly begged Emperor Yang of Sui to return to Daxing, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, he still sent troops to surround his mansion and killed him and his three sons.
