It is said that wine is a matchmaker for women. When Yang Jian got drunk, he couldn't help but take two steps forward. He paused for a moment, then took another two steps forward, and finally arrived in front of the bead curtain. The curtain was eight feet high and covered with gold threads.
It is strung with various colors of agate, pearls, amber, and tortoise shells, which are dazzling and dazzling. I don’t know how much money was spent. Behind the curtain, the clouds are lingering and the fragrance is fragrant. In the tung oil bathtub, the beauty’s thin shoulders and naked back are looming. Bead curtain weaving
No matter how tight they were, they couldn't block the spring light behind the curtains, and the clear sound of water penetrated directly into Yang Jian's ears. Yang Jian couldn't help but his blood surged and his breathing became heavier.
There was a sound of water from behind the curtain, and the beauty in the bathtub actually stood up. Although her back was to Yang Jian, her exquisite curves still made Yang Jian suffocate.
Others don't know the origin of Xiao Concubine, but Yang Jian knows it clearly. When Prince Yang Zhao came to the palace to pay Yang Guang's greetings, Empress Xiao did not leave the palace for a while. She met a palace maid and fell in love at first sight, so she asked Yang Guang for her order.
The man called the palace maid to take a look, and she was indeed as beautiful as a flower. He favored her at that time and drove Yang Zhao to Chang'an. Yang Zhao was so depressed that he fell ill and died. This palace maid was Xiao Guifei. Unexpectedly,
Later, Xiao Bi became pregnant. Yang Jian once thought maliciously, not knowing whether what was in her belly was Yang Zhao's good deed or Yang Guang's seed.
Now, the beauty that Yang Guang loved so much was standing naked in front of him, with only a curtain in the middle that could not block anything. How could Yang Jian control it? Concubine Xiao.
He first fell in love with the prince, and then committed himself to Yang Guang. He is also of water nature. I am calling myself here today, I am afraid it is just for...
Yang Jian was thinking wildly there when he suddenly heard an exclamation of "Ah" coming from behind the curtain. The beauty who had just stood up seemed to have slipped and fell back into the bucket. There was a "plop" and a big splash.
Splash.
Without thinking, Yang Jian opened the bead curtain and rushed in, asking eagerly: "Concubine, are you okay..."
Before the word "Ba" could be said, a little eunuch sprang out from both sides of the bead curtain. The one on the left jumped directly on Yang Jian and clamped him tightly with both hands. Yang Jian was a full head taller than the little eunuch.
But he was stunned and couldn't get away at all. The little eunuch on the right shouted sternly: "You are so bold and perverted, how dare you peek at the queen bathing!"
Xiao Concubine huddled in the bathtub tiredly, crying and shouting: "Quickly call the guards!"
Knowing that he had fallen into the trap, Yang Jian sobered up completely and shouted: "Mother, my concubine, I am Ah Hai..."
"A'hai" is Yang Jian's nickname. Normally, he would never call himself by his nickname in front of Xiao Bin. Now he is completely anxious. But before he finished speaking, the little eunuch on the right stretched out his hand and
Something was stuffed into his mouth. For a moment, Yang Xian's expression softened.
"Okay, okay." Li Yuan clapped his hands and turned out from behind the phoenix tent. He didn't care that Xiao Bi was still sitting naked in the tub, and cupped his hands with a smile, "The rest is up to the queen, Wei Chen goes first.
Resign!"
When Xiao Concubine was taking a bath, Li Yuan had been hiding behind the phoenix tent. Yang Jian only saw her back, but Li Yuan saw the front. Now, there was a small tent under Li Yuan. How could Xiao Concubine dare to answer?
, not even daring to raise his head.
Those two young eunuchs were disguised as Li Yuan's twin sons, Li Shimin and Li Xuanba. With Li Xuanba's power, it was easy to restrain Yang Jian, but Li Yuan insisted on staying here just in case.
It happened that her confidant Li Cheng also agreed with Li Yuan's idea. For the sake of her son, Xiao Bi had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree, which made Li Yuan and his son a feast for the eyes. Little did she know that Li Cheng and Li Yuan were both from Longxi, and they were originally from the same family.
"Li", Li Yuan took great care of Li Cheng's family. This was what the two of them had agreed upon.
…
Soon, King Yang Jian of Qi broke into Xiao Concubine's palace and intended to commit adultery. Word spread in the palace. Chen Chou, Chen Sui, Mrs. Wang and a group of concubines came to visit Xiao Concubine one after another. Among them
There is also no lack of gloating.
At this moment, Li Cheng rushed in in a panic, holding high the proclamation issued by Yang Xuangan, and cried loudly: "My dear ladies, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he has passed away!"
This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue to all the concubines. Among them, except for Concubine Xiao who had a son, the others had nothing to do. Once Yang Guang died, the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng would be waiting for them to end their remaining lives.
However, they were all young and beautiful, and none of them could bear to part with their beautiful hair, nor the glory and wealth in front of them. Concubine Xiao's palace suddenly burst into tears.
Xiao Concubine, who had been grieving just now, stopped crying and said loudly: "Sisters, I understand why Yang Jian is suddenly so bold! He, he must have received the news of the emperor's death in advance, so he dared to be so unscrupulous."
"Sisters, don't be too busy crying, it's important to discuss important matters." Seeing that the concubines were only sad and no one listened to her, Xiao Concubine sneered and said, "Yang Xuangan made Yang Hao emperor, and sooner or later he will attack Luoyang. When the time comes,
, I’m afraid that even if the sisters want to become a monk, they can’t! Why not help the younger sister and jointly support Gao’er to ascend the throne. Gao’er is young, and the sisters don’t want to become a monk, so what’s the harm in staying in the palace?”
When Chen Sui heard this, she realized that this was indeed the case. King Qi had already passed his weak years. If King Qi ascended the throne, they would have no choice but to become a monk. Only by protecting the young Yang Gao and being a god, they would not be afraid of gossip if they stayed in the palace.
, just thinking that King Qi is Yin of Henan and Luoyang is under his control, Chen Chou became worried again: "Even if we are willing, I am afraid that His Highness King Qi will not agree."
Chen Chou remained silent, but he had other plans in his mind. Yang Jian knew that Yang Guang was dead, so he came up with the idea of Xiao Concubine. Like father, like son. However, Chen Chou was confident that his beauty was even better than Xiao Concubine, so he didn't believe it.
If you can't impress Yang Jian, the worst thing you can do is marry Yang Jian. It's not like there was no precedent in the Sui Dynasty.
At this time, I am afraid that there are not a few concubines who hold this idea. Many of them look hesitant and remain silent, obviously intending to please Yang Xian.
"Is there anyone who wants to be Chen Xuanhua? But do you still remember the ending of Mrs. Xuanhua?" Concubine Xiao just said one word and they gave up the idea.
Chen Xuanhua was the sister of Empress Nan Chen and Yang Jian's beloved concubine. After Yang Jian's death, she was taken in by Yang Guang. However, she died of illness a year later in a very miserable state. At that time, it was circulated in the palace that Yang Jian claimed her life.
He died. This incident happened just two years ago. Many people still have fresh memories of the situation at that time. It is horrifying to think about it now. Who would dare to make the same mistake as Chen Xuanhua again?
Wang Concubine didn't know that her uncle Li Yuan was planning all this, and she didn't know that Yang Jian had been controlled. She even said fearfully: "Even if we are willing to support Gao'er as emperor, there is nothing we can do. Luoyang is under the control of King Qi."
In the hands of His Highness."
Seeing that everyone was already a little tempted, Xiao Bin said, "But Yang Jian is now in my hands!"
It turned out that the concubines only knew that Yang Jie broke into Xiao Concubine's palace and committed adultery but failed, but they did not know that Yang Jie had been captured. Of course, Xiao Concubine did not tell the role that Li Yuan and his son played in it, only that she
The palace eunuch arrived just in time and knocked Yang Jian unconscious with a wooden stick, thus preserving her innocence.
As long as Yang Gao successfully ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, Xiao Concubine will be the Queen Mother. These concubines will all depend on her from now on. Who will argue with her on these details? If she says white, she will be white, and if she says black, she will be black. Chen
Chougeng suggested: "Yang Jian has many party members in Luoyang, so we must not let him leave the palace!"
If Yang Jian is not allowed to leave the palace, it is natural that he will not be allowed to leave the palace alive. Chen Chou's words were exactly what Xiao Bin wanted, but she deliberately frowned and said: "How can my little sister be in charge of such a big thing by herself?
But it’s up to you sisters to handle it.”
She already had the people in her hands. What else could others say? She naturally agreed with Chen Chou's proposal. Poor Yang Jian didn't know what Li Shimin had fed her. When he was brought here, he saw young and beautiful people.
The concubine's eyes immediately straightened, her mouth drooled, and she looked anxious, as if she hadn't seen a woman in many years.
When the concubines saw such a scene, it was inevitable that some would be secretly suspicious, but they did not dare to speak out. They could only watch as Li Cheng and several young eunuchs dragged Yang Jian out again, using three feet of white blood.
Ling, strangled him to death in the yard. Although this palace was dirty, Xiao Concubine would soon move to another place, but she didn't care.
It was getting late at this time, and the palace gates had long been closed. Without a jade waist card that allowed free entry and exit, no one could come in, even if they were summoned. They supported Yang Gao's ascension to the throne, captured Yang Jian's remnants, and issued a notice to calm the people.
To pardon the world and organize the rebel army to attack Yang Xuangan, this series of actions can only be done slowly after gathering the ministers after dawn.
The proclamation Li Cheng held was given to him by Li Yuan. The officials and people in Luoyang City did not know the news of Yang Guang's death, and they were still living a peaceful life of singing and dancing, but they did not know that a storm was coming.
…
After daybreak, people outside Weiding City shouted "horse neigh" and it was very lively.
Wen Hao and Gui Haiqiu did not dare to stay for a moment, and rushed back to the military camp in the middle of the night. At this time, more than half of the soldiers in the military camp had fled, and not all of the remaining soldiers were determined. Fortunately, Liu Yu did not conceal Yang Guang's death.
Not long after Wen Hao and Gui Haiqiu left, the garrison troops from Weiding City came here one after another. Because everyone had known the news of Yang Guang's death for a long time, they showed the sincerity of Liu Yu and others, and some thought
The soldiers who were returning home also decided to stay.
However, when Wen Hao and Gui Haiqiu conveyed Liu Ziqiu's intention and asked everyone to march into Weiding City, many soldiers chose to retreat. Because everyone knew that if Murong Fuyun came now, Weiding City would bear the brunt.
That will be the focus of contention between the two sides and the place where the battle will be the most brutal. Although many people claim that they are not afraid of death, how many people are likely to take it indifferently when they actually face death?
As a result, only 5,600 people from the 40,000-strong army finally arrived in Weiding City. Including the original 600 people in Weiding City, there were only 6,200 people. However, Liu Ziqiu also selected two people from the Xihai tribe.
Thousands of elite nomadic cavalry.
The Sui army was dominated by infantry, and relying on the city defense of Weiding City was the best choice. However, Liu Ziqiu knew that no matter how strong a fortress was, it was easy to break through from the inside. He personally urged Zhao Ling and others to deal with the newly arrived people.
The soldiers were registered and organized one by one before they were allowed to enter the city.
While I was busy, I saw snowflakes flying in the distance and a group of cavalry galloping towards me.
