The answer is no, why kill him? It’s not like Da Sui can’t afford to support him. The disadvantages of killing him far outweigh the advantages, so he can’t be killed.
Su Lie conquered Dujin Mountain, and with less than 10,000 elite men, he defeated the Turkic royal court. Jieli surrendered at that time.
If he chose to fight to the death, then anyone in the Sui army had the right to kill him, but they chose to surrender in the end.
After all, he was the Great Khan of the Eastern Turks. If he surrendered, Su Lie would not dare to decide what to do with him, so he could only take him back to Luoyang in one piece.
Not only could he not kill him, but he also had to take good care of him. Yang Guang gave him the title of Duke of Liang.
As for the fourteen-year-old Tuli, because he was the eldest son and grandson of Qimin Khan, he was granted the title of King of Dingxiang County based on the Dingxiang County where Yang Jian settled Qimin.
Under the wolf-headed flag, there are a few words embroidered on it: Prince Dingxiang of the Sui Dynasty, who was ordered to control Mobei.
I embroidered Chinese characters once and then embroidered another line in Turkic language.
At the same time, the original territory of the Eastern Turks was changed to the Mobei Protectorate, with the seat of governance in Dujin Mountain. Zhang Dinghe was tentatively designated as the first Mobei Governor. When ready, he will bring members of the Turkic royal family who support Tuli.
He returned to Dujin Mountain, supported Tuli, and took charge of the Eastern Turks.
This was a hard job, and Zhang Dinghe was an honest man, so he went, but Yang Guang agreed that it would be changed every three years. If you stay for three years, the court will send another person to replace you.
Then Wei Yuanzhao successfully won the position of General Zuotunwei.
With Xuangan and the Wei family working together at the same time, they would naturally be able to capture it.
In July, good news came from Shandong. The whole territory was peaceful and there were no more bandits.
Zhang Xutuo became the Duke of Qi and continued to govern Shandong.
It was at this time that something happened in the East Palace.
Xu Jing, the chamberlain who had been with Yang Ming all his life, died suddenly.
He bleeds from his seven orifices and dies.
The whole court was shocked. Although the person who died was an eunuch, he was the person closest to Yang Ming. This was a big deal. Yang Guangda was furious. In the name of protecting the prince, he sent people to take over the left and right guards of the East Palace.
But taking over will definitely take time. There are more than 10,000 people, and there are more than 700 generals above the rank of lieutenant alone. These are all the prince's people. Yang Guang wants to replace all these people. It won't take ten or eight days.
It can't be done.
That evening, Yang Ming called some people to his dormitory and lit only two lamps.
"Everyone, King Qi must be planning this behind the scenes. I want to capture him, who can help me?" Yang Ming said in a deep voice.
Everyone in front of him is absolutely trustworthy.
Yang Xuanting, Liang Shidu, Luo Shixin, Zhang Yuanbei, Cheng Yaojin, Pei Shuang, Li Mi, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Pei Xing, Xiao Shilian, Pang Tao, Fang Xuanling, Pang Ben, Xue Shou, Du Ruhui, Qiao Chunji, Duguyin
, Pei Xingyan, Hou Junji, Zhu Can, Xu Xuanche, Wei Huaijing, Dugu Lingyun, Chen Kui, Zhu Sanli, Pei Zhong and Cui Wei, a total of twenty-eight people.
"As long as His Highness gives the order, we will not hesitate to do so!" Everyone said solemnly.
Yang Ming nodded and asked Chen Kui and others to bring up several boxes of armor.
"These are thin armors prepared by the Hedong refinery in advance. They are extremely tough and can be worn under robes. They are not visible from the outside. From now on, whenever I enter the palace, you will be with me.
Just in case something unexpected happens.”
They say they are prepared to take precautions, but in reality they are ready to attack at any time.
They only have the right to carry a horizontal sword, and they can only enter the city but not the palace. In other words, their weapon only has one sword.
After Chen Kui distributed the armor to everyone, everyone also tried it on. Under the cover of their robes, it was really hard to tell that they were wearing armor from the outside.
"Xuan Ting and Dugu Lingyun will go home tomorrow and tell Xuangan and Zhao Guogong to be prepared. If there are changes, they should do what they should do," Yang Ming finished instructing them and then told Pei Shuang.
.
They only knew that the prince wanted to deal with King Qi, but they did not know that the prince wanted to deal with the emperor.
Only those people outside know the truth.
Dugu Zuan will fully control the Dongdu garrison, while Yang Zhiji will stay in the Imperial City Yamen, ready to take over the imperial guards at any time. As for the army outside Luoyang, Yang Xuanzang, who is guarding the outside, will do his best to delay the entry of King Qin Qin's army.
As long as Yang Ming takes control of Ziwei Palace as soon as possible, the rest of the situation will be easy to deal with.
And Yang Guang was not idle either. He knew that in order to deal with his son, his wings must be cut off, and the first to bear the brunt were Yang Xuangan and Dugu Zuan.
Because these two families controlled the military power of Luoyang, he transferred Mai Tiezhang to take over the defense of the eastern capital, and Yu Zhongwen went out of the city to take over the surrounding garrison.
The relationship between father and son has not changed at all on the surface, but secretly they are intensively planning it.
At the court meeting, the father is still kind and the son is filial.
"I arranged for Xu Jing to serve you when you were young. His loyalty is commendable and he should be given a generous burial," Yang Guang said at the court meeting.
In fact, Yang Guang sent someone to contact Xu Jing and asked him to act as an internal agent and monitor any disturbance in the East Palace. However, Xu Jingyang disobeyed and did nothing. Yang Guang knew that this person was unreliable, so he sent someone to take action.
Killing Xu Jing will give you the opportunity to take over the East Palace.
He had two plans, one was to tour Jiangdu in the south, and the other was to enshrine himself in Mount Tai, but before leaving, he had to take care of his third son, otherwise he would not be able to feel at ease.
Yang Ming nodded, looked at Dali Temple Minister Zheng Shanguo, and said: "For two days, you said that Wang Pu, the inner minister, was the murderer behind the scenes, but Wang Pu died, and there was no evidence of his death. It is far-fetched to blame him.
?”
The case was also solved at Dali Temple. Xu Jing's death was blamed on his godfather Wang Pu. The two people had a very good relationship at first, but later they had conflicts.
The reason is that Wang Pu has always wanted to inquire about the prince's affairs from Xu Jing, but Xu Jing refused. Wang Pu felt that his adopted son was a white-eyed wolf who repaid evil with kindness, so the two had long had a rift.
Zheng Shanguo said: "This is indeed the case. Among the imperial guards, someone saw the two of them quarreling at the foot of the city wall some time ago. Xu Jing died of poison, and the Imperial Medical Office also reported that Wang Pu did send someone to steal it quietly from the medicine store.
Strong drugs, with the thief’s confession, it can’t be faked.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and pretended to be angry: "You only talk about oral confessions, not reasoning, right? Where did Wang Pu get the courage to poison Gu's close servant? What about the poison?
Are you entering the East Palace? The medicine warehouse of the Imperial Medical Office is always under guard. How could medicine be stolen? I can’t find out. I want your head."
Zheng Shanguo sighed inwardly, what the hell am I so unlucky to be involved in this kind of thing?
He was responsible for investigating the case, and the results must comply with the emperor's wishes. Yang Guang had hinted to him, so he knew very well that the emperor wanted to deal with the prince.
What the hell is this? I want to have sex with my son?
When you are unable to answer, the best way is to pretend to be innocent and remain silent. This will appear to be the result of the prince being messy and not recognizing Dali Temple.
Yang Jian said from the side: "Prince, calm down, Xu Jing and Wang Pu, this is a personal feud and has nothing to do with you. The closer the people are, the more cruel they will be after they fall out."
"Like you and me?" Yang Ming said with a ferocious expression.
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment and stammered: "What...what are you talking about? You just think I farted just now."
Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and scanned the faces of all the ministers in order to cover up the looks he was giving to Xuangan, Yang Zhiji, Yang Lun, Li Jing, Su Lie and others.
These people can understand this look, and they are about to take action.
Pei Ju was the shrewdest. He did not look at Yang Ming, but observed the expressions of Xuangan and others. After taking in all the views, his heart was as bright as a mirror, and he glanced at Pei Yun behind him.
Smart people don't need to talk clearly, and they can't talk clearly when doing things.
This is what is called something that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
It was rare for Yang Ming to get angry in the court, and Yang Guang did not stop him. After all, the people around the prince were poisoned, which meant that the prince's own safety was not guaranteed. It was normal to be angry.
After the court meeting, Pei Ju winked at Pei Xingyan, who quietly and slowly approached Pei Ju, pretending to be:
"Shouldn't we hold a banquet to celebrate Dalang's appointment as the Ministry of Etiquette?"
When he got close to Pei Ju, he saw a smile on his face, his lips slightly parted, and he said:
"Make an excuse and go back to your Youwuwei camp. Remember, no matter what Yu Zhongwen says, don't listen. Once Dongdu changes, no one will be allowed to enter the city."
"Haha, okay, another day will be another day," Pei Renji cupped his hands towards Pei Ju and left.
His right-hand guard was stationed outside Luoyang City, one in the southwest and one in the southeast with Xuan Zong's camp. They were the two barriers to the south of Luoyang City.
The more than 100,000 garrison troops surrounding Dongdu were in the hands of Dou Kang, Yang Xuanzang, Dugu Wudu, Yao Junsu, Yu Juluo, Qu Tutong, Pei Renji, Xue Shixiong, and Dong Chun.
If you just look at the list, it seems that only Yang Xuanzang and Duguwu can be used by the prince. But from a practical point of view, once Yang Ming successfully controls Yang Guang, how many of these people will stand up to oppose it? Only three or two.
.
Yu Zhongwen's role is to take over the army of more than 100,000 people in the name of the emperor. Without his order, no one can move the guards of these camps.
Anyone who dares to move is a rebel.
The most untrustworthy of them all was Yang Xuanzang, so Yu Zhongwen took his cronies and lived in Xuanzang's camp. He had the tiger talisman given by Yang Guang in his hand. As long as Xuanzang was not really rebelling, he would definitely
You can't do anything to him.
At the moment, Yu Zhongwen just thought that the emperor was dissatisfied with the prince and wanted to deprive him of some of his rights. He didn't know that the emperor wanted to kill the prince.
He didn't even know that the prince also wanted to kill his father.
Being on the chessboard as a chess piece, Yu Zhongwen didn't have that consciousness. This is actually not his fault.
The emperor only had two legitimate sons in total, and the other one didn't look like a prince at all. From Yu Zhongwen's point of view, the emperor would never do anything to the prince, otherwise wouldn't it shake the foundation of the country?
Xuan Zong is also very polite now. He goes to Yu Zhongwen's place every day to listen to his orders. In fact, he has already given instructions to his subordinates. If there is any change, he will deal with Yu Zhongwen first.
His subordinates are all brothers who have followed him in battles and fought through life and death. They are absolutely reliable. There are only 500 people around Yu Zhongwen.
