Dugu Jialuo was in charge of the palace, and after Gao Jiong was demoted from the left servant, Yang Su took the position of right servant to lead the civil and military affairs of the court. With the combined efforts of the two internal and external forces, Yang Jian, who was not very satisfied with Yang Yong, finally moved.
The thought of deposing the crown prince.
However, this matter is of great concern, and Yang Jian feels that it should be treated with caution. It is better to ask the courtiers for their opinions.
In addition to Zuo Pushe, there are two people whom Yang Jian trusts more, and they are included in the list of consultation objects by Yang Jian.
That is General Zuowei, Wuyuan Gongmin, and General Youwei, Shangzhu Kingdom, Wuling County Gongzhou.
These two men were implicated by Wang Shiji some time ago and were dismissed from office. However, they were not sent to prison, and they were still serving their crimes.
After all, they were Yang Jian's cronies. A few days after Wang Shiji was killed, Yang Jian casually found an excuse to reinstate these two men.
When Yang Jian revealed his intention to Yuan Min, Yuan Min expressed his objections in a stern voice, "Your Majesty, your majesty is absolutely sure about such a big matter as abolishing the establishment of a state. But once the decree is issued, it will be too late to regret it! So, what you heard
You must find out whether those words are slander!"
What Yuan Min said was very reasonable, and actually made old Yang Jian speechless. At this point, Yang Jian's newly conceived thoughts of abandoning Li finally calmed down.
After hearing the news, Yang Guang couldn't help but become anxious, and thought to himself, "Well, Yuan Min, I have no enmity with you, but how dare you ruin the good deeds of the isolated king at this moment? Let's wait and see!"
Since Yuan Min objected, Yang Guang had to turn his attention to another person, the right-guard general Yuan Zhou. Yang Guang's plan was to drag Yuan Zhou into his chariot to counter Yuan Min.
Yuan Zhou, a Xianbei native, was originally named Tuoba and was of royal origin. He was the sixth-generation grandson of Emperor Zhaocheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Later, Yu Wenhu usurped Wei and established the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the original Tuoba royal family were forced to change their surname to Yuan.
Before Yang Jian usurped Zhou Dynasty, Yuan Zhou was Yang Jian's number one personal bodyguard.
After Yang Jian's ambition was exposed, Yu Wenzhao, the former king of Zhao in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, organized a Hongmen Banquet, intending to kill the rebellious Yang Jian at the banquet.
At that time, Yang Jian was not yet forty years old, and he had not completely escaped from the category of a silly and naive young man. He was unaware of King Zhao's treacherous plan, but he went to the banquet with great enthusiasm.
At the banquet, seeing that Yang Jian was too drunk, Zhao Wang Yu Wenzhao pulled Yang Jian to the dormitory.
At this time, of course, the left and right could not follow. Only Yuan Zhou, the personal bodyguard, followed him every step of the way.
Yu Wenzhao wanted to kill Yang Jian, so he asked his two sons to offer fruits to him, and he fed Yang Jian with a sharp fruit knife and fork.
Yang Jian thought that Yu Wenzhao was sincerely serving him, and he just opened his mouth to eat. Fortunately, Yuan Zhou watched closely enough and broke Yu Wenzhao's evil hand several times.
Seeing that it was not a problem if things continued like this, Yang Jian's life would be taken care of if he was not careful. An idea struck him, and Yuan Zhou said, "We still have things to do in the prime minister's office, it's time to go back!"
Yu Wenzhao was furious, "We, the masters, talk about things, why do you, a servant, talk so much! Get out of here!"
Yuan Zhou glared and was about to draw his sword.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yu Wenzhao quickly flattered him and said, "Your Excellency is really a strong man! You are so tall and powerful! What is your surname? Have you married a wife?"
As he spoke, Zhao Wang Yuwen offered his seat to Yuan Zhou, toasted him, and explained incessantly that he had no ill intentions!
After all, it was King Zhao's territory, and Yuan Zhou did not dare to use the knife here, otherwise he and his boss Yang Jian would not be able to get out of King Zhao's house. With no other option, Yuan Zhou had no choice but to deal with Yu Wenzhao in a cowardly manner, maintaining his integrity.
Shameless.
Seeing that Yuan Zhou had been fooled, Zhao Wang Yuwenzhao's evil idea came up again.
This time, Yu Wenzhao pretended to drink too much and wanted to go out to vomit...
Yuan Zhou thought, if we let you run away, wouldn't our lives be ruined? So, with a palm as big as a cattail leaf fan, he stretched out his hand and pushed Yu Wenzhao back.
"Is there urine? Just deal with it right where you are?" As he said this, Yuan Zhou's eyes widened, and he seemed to be showing signs of drawing out the knife again.
Yu Wenzhao was greatly frustrated when he made another mistake, but he still refused to give up.
Turning around, Yu Wenzhao said he was thirsty again and asked Yuan Zhou to help him go to the kitchen to get some water!
Yuan Zhou glared again and said, "Are you thirsty? Drink your own urine!"
This time Yu Wenzhao was completely at his wits end! He could only lie down in the corner and draw circles.
After a while, King Zhao's brother Teng Wang Yuwen Zhao arrived. Yang Jian miraculously woke up again and hurriedly went out to greet him. Just as Yuan Zhou hurriedly followed Yang Jian, Yu Wenzhao finally caught the opportunity and slipped away.
!
Yuan Zhou saw something bad and hurriedly told Yang Jianda, "The master, King Zhao, is gone. Let's stop talking nonsense and run for our lives!"
Yang Jian waved his hand and said, "Dan Ding, their family has no soldiers and horses, are they afraid of a bird?"
Faced with such a two-pronged master, Yuan Zhou said anxiously, "What kind of soldiers and horses are used? This is in someone's home. They have hired hundreds of guard servants. Each of them has a kitchen knife, which is enough to cut us into pieces."
Chop it into meat fillings and make dumplings!”
Yang Jian didn't believe it and said that all these are subjective guesses, idealism and bad luck!
Then, he went back to the house to drink.
As soon as he returned to the house and sat down, Yuan Zhou heard the sound of weapons clashing behind him. At the critical moment of life and death, Yuan Zhou couldn't care less about the opinions of the second-hand owner Yang Jian, and forcefully pulled Yang Jian up and ran out.
As soon as he ran a few steps, Yu Wenzhao led a group of guards and rushed over with their swords raised high.
Looking at the gleaming steel knife, Yang Jian finally came to his senses and couldn't make up his mind, so he ran wildly and risked his life.
Yang Jian was not slow, but the enemy was faster. Before he reached the entrance of the small courtyard, Yang Jian was chased by the enemy.
At the critical moment, Yuan Zhou sacrificed himself to block several knives from Yang Jian, and finally sent Yang Jian out of the hospital, while he blocked the door. It was not until Yang Jian rushed out of several courtyards and out of the gate of Prince Zhao's Mansion that Yuan Zhou slowly killed him.
After retreating, King Zhao and others followed.
Therefore, without Yuan Zhou, Yang Jian would have been cut into pieces long ago! There would be no Sui Dynasty! Even Yang Jian’s whole family would have been slaughtered long ago!
There is no doubt that such a person is Yang Jian's true confidant! A confidant who can trust his life!
Therefore, Yang Guang has always had a sincere relationship with Yuan Zhou.
Influenced by Yang Jian and Empress Dugu, Yuan Zhou also felt that Yang Guang was a good kid, and because of Yang Guang's diligence, he gradually became more inclined to Yang Guang.
This time Yang Guang conspired to move his brother, so he also brought Yuan Zhou in.
After Queen Dugu confirmed Yang Yong's criminal act of assassinating Yang Guang, Yuan Zhou turned to Yang Guang's side without hesitation.
So Yang Guang complained to Yuan Zhou, saying that Yuan Min was his elder brother Yang Yong's man, and had repeatedly tried to kill him. This time, he even blocked his father from making him the prince.
After being fooled by Yang Guang, Yuan Zhou finally took action in anger.
After Dugu Jialuo and Yang Su said some bad things about Yuan Min, the thoughtful Yang Jian gradually became a little suspicious of Yuan Min, but that was all, and no practical measures were taken.
But when Yuan Zhou took action, the situation was different!
Normally, the left and right guards took turns protecting the emperor Yang Jian.
However, one time when it was Yuan Min's turn to be on duty, Yuan Zhou did not get off work normally.
Seeing this situation, Yang Jian couldn't help being surprised and asked Yuan Zhou why he didn't go home yet.
Yuan Zhou replied, I still have to guard against Yuan Min!
Yang Jian believed deeply in this hard-blooded man who was willing to risk his life to defend himself!
So, Yang Jian didn't even ask why Yuan Zhou was guarding against Yuan Min, and just asked Yuan Min to be killed!
General Yuan Min, the die-hard Zuo Wei general who insisted on supporting Yang Yong, was beheaded. The other ministers thought about it for a moment, and then they all shrank their necks and acted like turtles.
Yang Su and Dugu Jialuo took this opportunity to launch an attack and asked Yousi to accuse Yang Yongluo.
The supervisor was very professional and quickly listed a lot of charges. Apart from the real things such as extravagance, waste and disorderly conduct, many of the other charges were unfounded.
One of these things touched Yang Jian's bottom line, that is, Yang Yong once ordered his grandma to predict good or bad luck, and then said to his ministers: "Your Majesty is destined to be emperor for eighteen years, and now it's almost over!"
Even though he was furious, Yang Jian still had some composure and decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.
But the matter involved the prince, and ordinary people might not be able to control the situation. After thinking about it, Yang Jian finally decided to hand over the matter to the head of the ministers, Yang Su, the Duke of Yue.
As a result, Prince Yang Yong was completely defeated!
