When Yuwen Chengdu slowly rushed to Prince Zhongxiao's palace with the right guards of the first mansion, a small half of the palace was already enveloped in flames that reached the sky.
The fire broke out in the inner residence of Prince Zhongxiao's Mansion. Although the servants of Prince Zhongxiao's Mansion tried their best to put out the fire, the fire was too fierce. In just half an hour, the backyard of the Prince's Mansion was burned to a white ground.
Therefore, when Yuwen Chengdu returned to Jinluan Palace to deliver the order, a total of 172 people from Prince Zhongxiao's palace were arrested.
In addition, the palace of Prince Zhongxiao had caught fire before the right guards arrived, killing a dozen people in total. Their bodies were all burned, leaving only ashes, and their identities could no longer be identified.
In fact, the burning was so brutal that it was impossible to tell whether the ashes were human ashes or pig ashes, let alone identification.
The so-called number of dozens of people was just a random estimate made by someone from Yuwen Chengdu, and it was not accurate at all.
Although there was some regret in his heart, Yang Guang did not bother with these trivial matters. He just waved his hand and ordered, "No need to interrogate, pull them all out and chop them all!"
The reason why there is no trial is because Yang Guang knows in his heart that the rumors about Old Man Wu may not be true!
Even if it is true that Old Man Wu started the rumor, there probably won't be any real evidence left behind!
Since this is a confusing account, simply, all other minor issues are also confused!
Although Old Man Wu and his whole family were beheaded, if they were beheaded, they would be beheaded. The Sui Dynasty would still be able to survive without anyone.
Therefore, despite feeling sad in their hearts, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not have too many ideas. At least, no one has yet carried out terrorist activities such as killing remonstrances.
What's more, at present, Yang Guang's imperial examination is just an idea, and it has not yet entered the practical stage. Maybe Yang Guang will forget it in a few days, or maybe by the time Yang Guang thinks of it, everyone will already think about it.
Even if there is a countermeasure, it is still unknown.
What followed was Yang Guang's series of personnel changes, which diverted most of the attention of the civil and military personnel.
The occurrence of an even bigger incident forced the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and Yang Guang, the emperor, to brace themselves and deal with it cautiously.
That is, Yang Guang's fifth brother, the governor of Bingzhou, and the King of Han Yang Liang, rebelled!
Although he is the general manager of Bingzhou, Yang Liang can mobilize more troops than just Bingzhou, because when Yang Jian gave his youngest son Yang Liang an official title, he asked Yang Liang to supervise the five areas north of the Yellow River in the name of the general manager of Bingzhou.
The Military of the Twelve States.
In other words, Yang Liang's rebellion directly led to the army of his fifty-two states.
That’s fifty-two states!
Although the so-called state in the Sui Dynasty was roughly equivalent to a county in the past, there were not many fifty-two counties in the entire Sui Dynasty!
What's more, north of the Yellow River, due to its proximity to the outside of the Great Wall and constant border troubles, the people's customs are strong and strong, and they have always produced elite soldiers!
Therefore, Yang Liang's rebellion can be said to have shocked the world.
But at this time, Yang Guang had officially ascended the throne and occupied the orthodox position, so Yang Liang's rebellion seemed to be a little late, and it was not very popular!
As for the cause of Yang Liang's rebellion, old man Yang Jian must be blamed.
At first, when Yang Jian was still alive, he deposed the prince Yang Yong. There was also a Shu king, Yang Xiu, who was locked up in a small dark room by Yang Jian because of his extravagance and waste, being good at managing dragon chariots and breaking taboos.
Since then, Yang Liang has been fearful, lest he might make the old man unhappy and destroy himself. Because Yang Liang himself is not a clean-ass master!
So, secretly, Yang Liang recruited talents, gathered grass and stockpiled grain, and almost rebelled several times.
But the mountain in Bingzhou is high and the emperor is far away, and Yang Liang did a very good job of keeping these things secret, so much so that Yang Jian didn't receive any news at all!…
At this time, among Yang Jian's five sons, only the second son Yang Guang and the fifth son Yang Liang were still intact.
Yang Jian loved his youngest son very much. Not only did he give him considerable military power, but he also miraculously made a secret code with Yang Liang, saying that if you see me giving you an imperial edict in the future, you must check it carefully. Not only must the seal be completely correct,
There will be a number, and there will be an extra small dot next to the seal. If there is a seal but no dot, it means there is something wrong with the edict!
Before the death of old man Yang Jian, all major military and state affairs were explained to Yang Guang one by one. But this matter was the only one that he did not tell Yang Guang, whether he forgot it or how.
When old man Yang Jian died, the first thing Yang Guang thought of was, would his fifth brother, who was commanding the military of the fifty-two states outside, have other ideas?
Then, before paying tribute to Yang Jian, Yang Guang sent You Wuhou's chariot general Qu Tutong to summon Yang Liang to Beijing with an edict.
Qu Tutong is an upright person and will not tell lies.
In fact, I don't know if he can't lie, nor can his brother Qu Tu Gai, both of whom are famous for being rigorous and upright in their work.
It is said that when Qu Tu Gai was the commander of Chang'an, the people were in awe of the two brothers, so they made up a jingle to describe the brothers, "I would rather eat three measures of mugwort than meet Qu Tu Gai; I would rather eat three measures of green onions than meet Qu Tu Tong."
.”
The uprightness and uprightness of the Qutu brothers can be seen clearly.
Qu Tutong rushed to Jinyang with the imperial edict and handed it to Yang Liang. Yang Liang took a look and found that although the jade seal had the right number, there was no dot on the side!
So Yang Liang asked Qu Tutong what was going on!
Remembering what Yang Guang had told him before setting off that Yang Jian was dead, the honest little old man Qu Tutong was in trouble. He hesitated for a long time and did not say anything about the ugly Yin Mao.
Yang Liang did not embarrass this honest little old man, and ordered Qu Tutong to be released.
But here, just a few days after old man Qu Tutong returned to Chang'an, news of Yang Liang's rebellion had already followed!
Yang Liang had a reputation for self-awareness, and he knew that openly shouting about rebellion would be unfair, so he made up a high-sounding excuse to slander the emperor!
And the objects to be "purged" are naturally the treacherous villains around the king!
Therefore, Yang Su, the Duke of Yue who had just become Zuopushe, was the first to be "purged".
Another person who was "cleared" was not the old man Su Wei, although the old man's character was indeed not very good!
It’s also not Yang Guang’s other close confidant Yu Wenshu, Minister of War, although Yu Wenshu is not a good person either!
Nor is it Yang Guang’s in-laws, super bad Yang Jian’s father-in-law, the newly appointed Ministry of Civil Affairs Minister Wei Chong.
It’s Yuwen Jackie Chan who makes soy sauce!
As for the reason, it is that this kid is just a superficial person with no talent and no virtue. Why should he become a third-rank Zuowei general! This kind of scum must be "purged"!
In this regard, Yuwen Chenglong expressed his infinite grievance, "If we really exposed Princess Leping, it would be worth the scolding! But now it doesn't matter, I was really shot while I was lying down! It's so damn me.
Bullying!"
Yuwen Chenglong, who finally got rid of his anger, could no longer hide in Princess Leping's house and pretend to be calm. He directly drafted a memorial and handed it to Yang Guang's desk!
