Yu Shinan was a loyal minister. In addition to the relationship between emperor and minister, there was also a layer of friendship between him and Yang Guang. They both loved literature, and the two were close friends.
It is absolutely impossible for him to betray Yang Guang. A scholar who is a confidant will die.
Shan Xiongxin had already kicked and hit Yu Shinan several times. Yu Shinan was rolling on the ground in pain, but he gritted his teeth and would rather die than obey.
Why does it have to be him? Because when the emperor entrusts a certain person with an important task, he will give an explanation in private. This is a word of mouth.
For example, if Lai Hu'er is sitting in Jiangdu, if the emperor's order comes from the capital, after Lai Hu'er opens it, he will look for the secret code of the appointment with the emperor. If it doesn't match, it is not the emperor's will. Lai Hu'er will
I won't recognize it.
The generals of the Twelve Guards and Four Prefectures all have this secret code, because they control the army of the Sui Dynasty.
If Yang Ming wants to control the situation in Luoyang, half of it depends on his own people, because his own people don't look at whether the edict is true or false, only whether it is beneficial or not. The other half is not his own people, so he has to be deceived by the edict.
So he either has an edict, or he has to wait until his own people get the situation under control before he can show up and take charge of the overall situation.
Yu Shinan couldn't write an edict, but there were other ways.
In the Sui Dynasty system, the emperor's edict was drafted by the Ministry of Internal History, and the edict was issued after being reviewed by the Ministry of Menxia. In other words, interested people in these two departments may know the tricks in the edict.
If they pay more attention, they will know which words are missing which stroke, and which words appear more frequently. In other words, they know the writing habits of imperial edicts.
The officials of the Ministry of Internal History must be in the imperial city, but the Sun and Moon Gates are blocked and Yang Daoxuan cannot get out, so there is no way to arrest people.
In other words, Yang Ming now has the jade seal and cannot issue an edict, so he can only wait for his own people to control the situation.
However, the current situation has changed.
The defeat of Yujuluo allowed Yang Xuanting to successfully enter the Xuanwu Gate, and in the name of the prince, he was forcing Zhang Jin to withdraw his troops.
Can Zhang Jin withdraw? There is an order from the emperor to die here. He doesn't recognize the edict and only recognizes the emperor alone. How can he be forced to retreat by Xuanting?
Xuanting is also an impatient person. If you don't leave, we will do it.
Just when the left and right guards and Zhang Jin's Zuo Beishen were about to start fighting, Yang Ming appeared.
If the edict cannot be issued, just pretend to pass on the oral edict. Xuanting has already come in and will not allow Beishen Mansion to attack Huiyou Palace. Then the time has come for Yang Ming to appear. It depends on how many people believe in him.
Above the sun gate, Yang Ming was wearing armor, surrounded by guards holding shields on his left and right, and said downwards:
"What do you want to do? King Cai has asked you to retreat, why don't you leave yet? Do you want to rebel?"
The appearance of Yang Ming has a great calming effect on the current situation in the imperial city. After all, most people would not think that the prince would force the palace.
At the court meeting, everyone saw that the father was kind and the son was filial.
The moment Zhang Jin saw Yang Ming, his eyes were about to burst. He knew that the emperor had been controlled, so he hurriedly said:
"I have your Majesty's secret order, and King Qin is escorting me. I also ask the prince to open the city gate and let me in."
Yang Ming said: "You can come in, but you can't bring so many people in, for fear of scaring His Majesty."
If I go in by myself, isn't it like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth? Zhang Jin said: "Then please open the city gate, Prince."
As soon as the city gate opens and I rush in, you won't be able to close it.
Yang Ming said: "Don't you have a ladder? Climb up yourself and let you lead twenty people. If there are more, I will shoot them."
Zhang Jin twitched the corner of his mouth and looked back at the generals who had retreated. He knew that this time he was probably helpless. The prince's prestige was too high. Once he showed up, he could not control the Preparatory Palace.
But there is no way Zhang Jin can say that I am following the emperor's orders to deal with you. That would be courting death, and not many people would believe it.
Zhang Jin closed his eyes and sighed: "Prince, why do you do this?"
Yang Ming shouted loudly from the city gate tower: "Your Majesty was attacked and is being treated. He has been ordered to apprehend the culprits. Anyone who blocks here and obstructs his actions will be killed without mercy."
As soon as these words were spoken, the generals of Beishen Mansion looked at each other and retreated one after another to get out of the way of the city gate.
Zhang Jin was so heartbroken that she had no choice but to retreat. If she didn't retreat, she would be shot into a hedgehog.
That is to say, Yang Xuanting is here, otherwise Yang Ming would not dare to show up in person. If he cannot scare away the Preparation Mansion, it is no joke.
When he said this on the city gate, his heart beat very fast.
Yang Zhiji, who was standing next to him, glanced at Pei Xingyan, who was holding a wooden box behind him. Seeing this, Yang Zhiji knew that a big deal had been decided.
After Beishen Mansion got out of the way, it was naturally the East Palace Guards who took over. Yang Xuanting was ordered to bring all the officials from the Imperial City and the Ministry of Internal History to Huiyou Hall, and no one from Beishen Mansion dared to stop them.
Zhang Jin had already guessed what the prince wanted to do, but he didn't dare to speak now. Would it be useful to speak?
It's useless. Even if I tell others that the prince is about to falsely pass on the imperial edict, it won't have any effect because Yang Ming has already controlled the situation.
It was at this time that the central leaders entered the imperial city and went straight to the Huiyou Palace.
And Zhang Jin also learned the news of Jing Yuanheng's murder, and both sides of the Preparation Mansion lost control at the same time, leaving him unable to save himself.
He couldn't help but close his eyes and burst into tears.
Lu Chu, the internal historian, was brought to Yang Guang. When he saw Yu Shinan curled up on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face, everything became clear in his heart.
Yu Shinan was loyal because most of the Jiangnan clans relied on Yang Guang.
But not the Lu family. A powerful family like the Lu family would not be loyal to any emperor.
As the internal historian, he would read every edict written by Yang Guang. He had read a lot, and he had been paying close attention to it, so he naturally knew where the trouble was.
He is very decisive and writes as soon as he sits down.
What to write? It's definitely not an edict to abdicate. We can't be so anxious now, otherwise the Imperial Guards who have been fooled will not admit it.
Instead, the emperor was given power, the emperor recovered from his injuries, and the prince took charge of the affairs of the country, which was to supervise the country.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the memorial was written, Yang Guang was dragged into the rear bedroom, where Zhu Can broke several ribs, and after being unconscious, he was thrown on the bed.
It was at this time that Pei Ju and others arrived.
After Yang Ming ordered the people to clean up the front hall, he let all the officials enter the hall.
In the main hall, there were hundreds of fully armed guards standing on the left and right sides. Yang Ming was sitting on the left side of Yang Guang's throne, where he was the prince, and behind him stood Pei Renji and others.
After more than a hundred ministers came in, they did not see Yang Guang, but only the prince. Many people knew what was going on.
"May I ask, Prince, where is Your Majesty?" Censor Tai Lu Zhiming asked.
Yang Ming said: "The King of Qi sent people to assassinate His Majesty. Your Majesty was seriously injured and is being treated."
"Then please invite Prince Rong Chen and others to visit," Yu Shiji said.
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows: "Do you know medical skills?"
"I don't understand, but I have the duty to confirm His Majesty's injury," Yu Shiji said.
Yang Ming looked at Pei Ju and said: "He is not qualified. Pei Gong is the head of Luoyang officials. You can go to the inner hall to visit His Majesty on behalf of the other ministers."
Pei Ju nodded and said, "I'll go right away."
Then, Pei Ju was taken into the inner hall.
Lu Chu stood up and took out the edict, and then said loudly to everyone:
"I entrusted King Chen of Qi, who is also my legitimate son, to have been arrogant, lazy and lawless, alienating the virtuous, and being close to the villain. Who doesn't love his son? How can I be so tolerant and lead to great disasters? Now I am doing evil to Huiyou, and my rebellion has reached this point.
, can you still face the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and face the common people with a shy face? Now I forgive you for the crime of death and order you to commit suicide. This is all a great kindness from me. You are not a tree. Even if you die, you should still shed tears."
After saying that, Lu Chu said: "Capture the King of Qi immediately and interrogate him in front of the palace."
This memorial begins with an edict to Wang Xian of Qi, and it is addressed to Yang Xian.
All the ministers in the palace looked at each other in confusion. The content of the decree was not detailed. How could King Qi do such disobedient things? It was not explained clearly, but this is the custom of imperial edicts. Some things cannot be explained clearly, especially family scandals.
Everyone can understand this. My son's dealings with me are too shameless to describe in detail, nor will anyone know the whole process.
Next, there is another edict. The content is simpler. The general meaning is that while I am recovering from my injuries, the prince will supervise the country. The imperial seal is stamped on it.
This is something wrong. At this time, the central level bosses can read the contents of the edict, but the imperial seal has never appeared on the edict.
Yu Shiji suddenly said: "Where is Yu Shinan, the man who lives in the house?"
Li Mi said with a sad face: "He was killed by a thief and has died."
Yu Shiji's legs went weak and he shouted: "I want to see Your Majesty."
With that said, he rushed towards the bedroom, but was stopped by someone.
Yang Ming said: "Don't stop him, let him go."
Yu Shiji was shaken all over, but he couldn't take a step forward, because he knew that once he entered, he would enter the gate of hell and never come out again.
He turned back to look at the ministers. Some were expressionless, like Yang Xuangan, while others were extremely depressed, like Duan Wenzhen.
Everyone has different expressions, but no one is like him and must see His Majesty.
When Yu Shiji saw this, he smiled sadly and looked at Yang Ming:
"Prince, don't you hear that the history book is Zhao Zhao?"
After saying that, Yu Shiji strode into the bedroom.
Yang Ming looked around at the ministers and said, "Which of you still wants to go in?"
Wang Zhou, Yuan Chong, You Yuan, Liu Shilong and more than ten people stood up.
Yang Ming waved his hand, indicating that they could enter.
Next, Yang Ming, who had the situation under control, was able to clean up his body without an edict.
Just listen to Yang Ming say: "Zhang Jin often acted impetuously, gathered troops outside the palace, refused to listen to dissuasion, and found it difficult to take on the important task. Yang Xuanting took over as the left preparation. Jing Yuanheng died for the country and was buried with honors as a duke. Yang Lun, the king of Teng, took over as the right preparation.
body."
The two men stood up and said, "I accept your order."
Then the next step is to appease the world. Yang Ming asked Lu Chu to draft a memorial, summoned the guardian, talked about everything, and Zhang Xutuo came to the capital.
Of course, it was in the name of the emperor. If it was in his name, the officials would be suspicious first, and they would raise troops to protect the children.
This person must be stabilized, otherwise Jiangnan will still be in chaos.
Officials from the Internal History Province and the Menxia Province had the right to see these three decrees, but Yang Ming only let Yang Da from the Menxia Province take a look.
Of course, Yang Da would pretend that everything was normal, and then nodded: "The province can issue an edict."
