There is no light in the original imperial study, and the clear moonlight shines in through the window, smearing the ground with silvery white, and dragging out a long figure in the moonlight.╱oo
Yang Guang stood in front of the window with his hands folded, staring at the bright moonlight. He remembered that more than 20 years ago, he led the army to defeat Chen, and he had seen such a bright full moon on the ship crossing the river.
At that time, he was in high spirits and flying, hitting the tree and singing, which attracted all the soldiers on the boat to sing with him.
‘A strong man crosses the river at the beginning, drinks his horse and crosses the river, sweeps across three thousand miles, and returns to his hometown covered with brocade’
Yang Guang recalled the year when he had just ascended the throne. It was also under this bright full moon that he had great ambitions and great plans. He wanted to replace the Hu with the Han Dynasty and integrate the north and the south. He also wanted to eradicate Guanlong and Peiping Tatars.
He wants to create a great and prosperous era within ten years and continue the Sui Dynasty for thousands of generations.
But today, counting the four years of Renshou, he has not even been on the throne for thirteen years, and the Sui Empire is about to come to an end. At this time, his son's mocking laughter seems to be echoing in his ears, and his heart is full of sadness and despair.
'Is the Sui Dynasty over? No! He won't give in, never will!'
Yang Guang suddenly turned around, walked slowly to the imperial case and sat down. There was a memorial on the case that Yang Yuanqing had just sent. Yang Yuanqing had already captured Taiyuan, wiped out Li Shuliang's 20,000 elite soldiers, and had taken control of Hedong.
In the memorial, Yang Yuanqing requested that Taiyuan be canonized as the northern capital, and that he would support him as the king and continue the Sui Dynasty.
Only then did Yang Guang know that Dai Wang You had not fallen into the hands of Li Yuan, but had been taken away by Yang Yuanqing. No wonder Li Yuan established an unknown clan as a false emperor.
Under the bright moonlight, Yang Guang slowly raised his pen and drew a sign on Yang Yuanqing's memorial with trembling hands. He agreed to Yang Yuanqing's request. He knew that he was opening a crack in the door for Yang Yuanqing with his own hands, but this might be too big.
The Sui Dynasty will never be destroyed.
At this time, the voice of grandson Yang Tan came from the door, "Grandfather, can my grandson come in?"
"Come in!" Yang Guang slowly put down his pen.
Yang Tan walked in and knelt down in front of Yang Guang. "Grandfather, please forgive your uncle!"
Yang Guang leaned on the couch and stared at the emperor's grandson. After a while, he said calmly: "Back then, your imperial uncle harmed your father more than once. You hated him to the core, why do you want to plead for him now?"
Yang Tan lowered his head and whispered: "But he is my grandson's imperial uncle after all. My grandson doesn't have many relatives."
"Come here and sit next to grandpa."
Yang Guang gently patted the couch next to him. Yang Tan slowly stood up and walked over to sit down. Yang Guang stroked his eldest grandson's head and said with great affection in his heart: "He is your imperial uncle and my son. He
Although the words are ugly, I will not kill him. Look at your fifth grandfather. When the rebellion wanted to overthrow me, I did not kill him in the end. I will not kill the royal family easily unless he really commits a heinous crime. Your emperor
My uncle is your Royal Grandmother’s only flesh and blood, no matter how harsh his words are, I will not kill him. You can tell the Royal Grandmother later and reassure her.”
Yang Tan bit his lip and whispered: "Is the emperor's grandfather still angry with the emperor's grandmother because of Xiao Mian's matter?"
Yang Tan remembered it very clearly. When the news of Xiao Mian's rebellion came, the emperor's grandfather and his grandmother had a big quarrel. The emperor's grandfather scolded the Xiao family for being ungrateful and wanted to issue an edict to depose the queen, which made everyone extremely afraid. Yang Tan
I have always wanted to find an opportunity to persuade the emperor's grandfather.
"Imperial Grandfather. There are people with ulterior motives in any family. Grandfather cannot be blinded by a leaf. Xiao Mian is just a side wife of the Xiao family and really has nothing to do with Imperial Grandmother."
"You child"
Yang Guang patted the back of his head gently. He was moved by his grandson's kindness and handed Yang Yuanqing's memorial on the table to his grandson, "You should have read this memorial!"
Yang Guang shouted again: "Light up!"
The eunuch Li Zhongliang came in from outside the door and lit up the seven-winged phoenix lantern in a hurry. The entire imperial study immediately became brightly lit.
Yang Tan had already read Yang Yuanqing's memorial. In fact, he also wanted to find an opportunity to talk to his grandfather. Since his grandfather took the initiative to talk about it, he also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. Yang Tan stood up, stood in front of his grandfather and said: "Grandfather Emperor
, my grandson has one more thing to say."
"What did you say?"
Yang Tan knew that the emperor's grandfather would probably be angry, but he still mustered up the courage to say: "Emperor, grandfather, it is about the last battle of Fengzhou. The emperor sent a decree to the world to commend the Fengzhou Army, but there was no reward from Yang Yuanqing.
The civil and military officials of the court are discussing this matter, and Li Yuan has colluded with the Turks, and he deserves to be punished. Grandfather, will these two things just go away?"
Yang Guang shook his head, "Actually, I have ordered Luoyang to tell the world about Li Yuan's collusion with the Turks, but in fact it is of no use. Unless the Turks invade the Central Plains and make the Central Plains people suffer, then everyone will hate them to the bone.
Moreover, I heard that Li Yuan also publicly explained that he admitted that he had contacted the Turks. He said that it was to buy horses, and the Turk soldiers who appeared in his army were subordinates of Ashdanai of the Western Turks. He also changed the flag back.
Half red and half white, the Turks were in civil strife, and he no longer admitted that he had any relationship with the Turks. In fact, I know in my heart that he colluded with the Turks to contain Yang Yuanqing, so that he could successfully occupy Guanzhong."
"What about the reward for Yang Yuanqing's victory over the Turks? Does the emperor really not intend to give it to him?" Yang Tan whispered again.
Yang Guang sighed for a while, "How can I make him a king? Can't I make him a king?"
"Father, why not? Didn't Li Yuan also become the King of Tang?"
"He is a false king! He is a treason!"
Yang Guang suddenly became furious and yelled at Yang Tan: "Are you going to admit that his occupation of Chang'an was in compliance with the law? Is his establishment of a false emperor the orthodoxy of the world?"
Yang Tan knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "My grandson is ignorant. It is my grandson who is confused. Please calm down, Grandfather!"
Yang Guang slowly suppressed the anger in his heart and said to his grandson: "I am the orthodox person in the world. Even today, this is still the consensus of the world. Even he, Li Yuan, does not dare to openly rebel against the Sui Dynasty. His pseudo-Tang king is just a self-proclaimed king.
I will never admit it, and no one in the Sui clan is allowed to admit it, have you remembered?"
"My grandson remembers it!"
Yang Tan kowtowed heavily and said: It's just that my grandson is thinking that if we support Yang Yuanqing and let him contain Li Yuan, it will be difficult for Li Yuan and the Guanlong aristocratic group to get out of Guanlong. Grandfather, we can make good use of Yang Yuanqing's power.
Sun'er considered that if he could take advantage of the great victory in Fengzhou and incorporate him into the Sui clan, there would be one more Sui king and one less Chu emperor in the future."
Speaking of this, Yang Tan secretly glanced at his grandfather's face. Seeing that his expression softened a little, he mustered up the courage to say: "My grandson once asked Yang Yuanqing, if I make him king in the future, what kind of king will he be willing to do?"
?He said that the Sui Dynasty should have a patron king, and he is willing to be the patron of our three brothers. Can the imperial grandfather agree to his grandson's request and make him the patron king?"
Yang Guang nodded slowly, "Let my grandfather think about this matter again! But in the Sui Dynasty, there were only princes, kings and princes, and there were no kings to back them."
At this time, a eunuch reported at the door: "Your Majesty, General Sima has urgently requested to see you, saying that he has captured important details."
Yang Guang was startled for a moment, then said: "Invite him to see you!"
He smiled at Yang Tan again and said, "Go to Grandma Huang's place and tell Grandma Huang that I'm not angry with her anymore. Please stay with her for me. I know she's also very bitter in her heart."
"My grandson obeys!"
Yang Tan retreated, and for a moment, the eunuch Li Zhongliang and Sima Dekan hurried into the imperial study, knelt down on one knee and said, "I see your majesty!"
"General Sima, what important details did you catch?"
"Reporting to your majesty, my subordinates caught a person who violated the midnight snack order near the city gate. Later, they searched his body and found a letter hidden on him. It turned out to be a secret letter written by Xiao Mian to General Yuwen. I dare not
hide."
Yang Guang was shocked that Yuwen Chengdu was involved. "He immediately asked, where is the letter?"
Sima Dekan presented a letter, and Li Zhongliang forwarded the letter to Yang Guang. The moment he turned around, he exchanged a glance with Sima Dekan.
Yang Guang took the letter and read it hastily. In the letter, Xiao Mian asked Yuwen Chengdu to give top priority to the revival of the Xiao family and asked Yuwen Chengdu to respond to the last discussion as soon as possible.
Yang Guang's face became darker and darker. He knew that Yuwen Chengdu was actually from the Xiao family. It was Empress Xiao who recommended him to him in the first place. For more than ten years, from the king of Jin to the prince and then to the emperor, he has always trusted him.
Plus, does he really want to betray his trust for the sake of his family?
"Summon Yuwen Chengdu!"
Soon, Yuwen Chengdu also walked into the censor's room, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, your Majesty the Emperor, Yuwen Chengdu!"
"General Yuwen, do you still have contact with the Xiao family?" Yang Guang asked quietly.
Yu Wencheng didn't know what Yang Guang asked what he meant. He glanced at Sima Dekan next to him and felt a vague sense of ominousness in his heart.
"Reporting to your Majesty, I have contacts with a very small number of Xiao family children, and I teach them martial arts."
"Yeah?"
Yang Guang looked at him and asked meaningfully: "What about Xiao Mian? Have you also taught him martial arts?"
Yuwen Chengdu's mind went 'buzzing!', and he knew what had happened. The Holy Emperor suspected that he and Xiao Mian had secret contacts. It must be this Sima Dekan who complained. He immediately said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I only lived in Renshou for four years."
I met Xiao Xian once, but I haven't seen him since. He is a traitor and a traitor, and I will not teach him any martial arts."
Yang Guang threw the letter to him and said coldly: "Read it yourself!"
Yuwen Chengdu picked up the letter and read it, his eyes widened immediately and he said: "Your Majesty, this is a false accusation. I have never had any contact with Xiao Mian. Someone is framing me."
"False accusation?"
Yang Guang looked at Sima Dekan, and Sima Dekan said calmly: "I don't know if it is true or not, but I caught the spy and he has this letter on his body. I think it must be reported to the Holy Majesty."
"Where is this spy now?" Yuwen Chengdu asked angrily.
"General Yuwen, I'm sorry. This spy killed five of my men because he resisted too fiercely. He was shot to death by random arrows."
"Dead!"
Yuwen Chengdu was stunned. He hurriedly said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, everyone is dead, and there is no proof of the death. Just take a letter and say that I colluded with Xiao Mian. Your Majesty, this is too easy!"
