On the pretext of recovering from his injuries, Yuwen Chenglong stayed at Princess Leping's mansion for a full month before finally showing up.
In fact, as early as ten days ago, Yu Wencheng had basically recovered. Even the original arrow wound that almost pierced a hole in Yu Wenchenglong's chest had already formed a scar the size of a thumb.
Princess Keping and Mrs. Yuwen were not at ease, so they forced Yuwen Chenglong to stay at home for another ten days.
Mrs. Yuwen did it entirely out of concern for her grandson, but Princess Leping had more considerations.
According to Princess Leping, the affairs of the imperial court have been relatively messy recently, and it is really not suitable for Yuwen Chenglong, a newbie in officialdom, to get involved. So, we can just stay at home and watch the show. At most, we can only engage in some conspiracy secretly.
Be the leader!
As soon as he learned about Princess Leping, Yuwen Chenglong knew that a series of major events had happened in the Sui Dynasty in a month.
There is no need to go into details about Emperor Wen's funeral and burial.
Immediately afterwards, Prince Yang Guang ascended the throne, and there was no suspense about this.
At the same time as he ascended the throne, Yang Guang made a series of dizzying personnel changes.
Yang Su, the Duke of Yue in Youpushe, got his wish and ascended to Zuopushe, and became the civil and military leader of the Manchu Dynasty.
What is more unexpected is that Yang Guang's chief confidant and the second most important minister among his confidants, Baoguo Gong Yuwenshu, was not promoted from the second rank to the right servant, but became the third rank Minister of the Ministry of War.
Compared with Youpu She, the rank of Minister of War is one level lower, but he is more pragmatic.
The person who served as the right servant was not Yang Guang's crony, but Su Wei, a veteran of Yang Jian's era.
Su Wei became a right-hand servant more than ten years ago, and was later dismissed because of nepotism and power-seeking. Later he was reinstated and dismissed several times. He can be said to be a veteran in officialdom. Now he is miraculously reinstated.
, picked up a pie from the right servant.
Some are promoted and some are demoted.
For example, Liu Shu, the former Minister of War and Yang Guang's cheap brother-in-law, was imprisoned without any suspense on the grounds that he was suspected of assassinating Yang Guang.
The above is the proper meaning of the title.
But there are a few other things that people don't quite understand, and even make people a little angry.
For example, Yang Guang's brother, the former prince Yang Yong, died mysteriously just before Yang Guang ascended the throne. According to the official statement, Yang Yong died in his sleep!
As soon as this incident came out, almost all the ministers cast suspicious eyes on Yang Guang. However, because there was no real evidence, everyone only had doubts in their hearts.
But another incident made people a little bit angry, well, actually it was more jealous to the point of anger!
Speaking of which, Yang Guang is very similar to his father Yang Jian.
It is said that when Yang Jian's wife Dugu Jialuo was alive, Yang Jian was a model husband, the most devoted and good man in the world, because Yang Jian never had a mistress!
But as soon as Dugu Jialuo died, Yang Jian, an old man in his sixties, immediately brought three thousand beauties into the palace, expiring the groom's sexual life every night.
As a result, within two years, Yang Jian killed himself!
As for Yang Guang, before the death of old man Yang Jian, his relationship was quite single-minded. But now that Yang Jian died, Yang Guang immediately began to expand the huge team of seventy-two concubines in the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard.
Originally, this was nothing. After all, he was the emperor, so it was reasonable to have a few more women!
But Yang Guang's tastes were rather strong, and the women he chose were also quite unique. For example, among them were Princess Guangde, the fourth daughter of Empress Nanchen, and Chen Chou, the sixth daughter.
Sisterhood is certainly a blessing, but if you are serious, it is not impossible to find one.
However, the princesses who are sisters are very rare. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is only one such princess in the world!…
Therefore, Yang Guang's move is quite jealous.
What makes people even more jealous is that Yang Guang also got the sisters' aunt, Princess Ningyuan, Chen Shubao's fourteenth sister, to be on the bed of a dragon.
If this is just the case, after all, two generations of a family are being played by one man, and it is Chen Shubao who is embarrassed.
But Chen Shubao's fourteenth sister, Princess Ningyuan, was once the woman of Yang Guang's father, Yang Jian, and was also the most favored woman by Yang Jian after Dugu Jialuo, Mrs. Xuanhua.
In name, this Princess Ningyuan, Mrs. Xuanhua, can be regarded as Yang Guang’s stepmother!
Yang Guang's other stepmother, Mrs. Rong Hua, was also grandly invited by Yang Guang to go to the dragon bed to exchange life philosophies.
Sleeping together with a pair of sisters and their aunt. The sister's aunt is also the stepmother of the pig's foot. When you hear this, it makes people's blood boil!
It also makes the broad masses of prostitutes so jealous that they wish they could take their own lives in their place!
Originally, although this kind of thing was a little debauched, it was really not a big deal in that evil feudal society, especially in the Sui Dynasty when the Guanlong family with Hu people's blood was in power.
Although the vast majority of prostitutes are jealous and resentful, it is only because they feel obscene in their hearts and despise them verbally.
But Yang Guang did something that was suspected of being a heinous crime, and finally these small things turned into big things.
That is, Yang Guang announced his intention to reopen the imperial examination!
As mentioned earlier, as the greatest emperor in history, one of the most important achievements of old man Yang Jian was the creation of the imperial examination system.
However, old man Yang Jian did not implement the imperial examination system. He just started the imperial examination, but because of the opposition of the aristocratic families all over the country, and the Jiangnan aristocratic family also rebelled collectively, in the end, old man Yang Jian had to announce the suspension of the imperial examination and in Manchuria.
Under the unanimous pressure of the civil and military officials of the DPRK, all county schools, township schools, imperial schools, Imperial College and other educational institutions across the country were closed.
Now, before Yang Guang officially ascended the throne, he spread the word about re-opening the imperial examination. Naturally, he was unanimously opposed by the big and small families across the country.
Why! How good is the original ninth-grade Zhongzheng system! There are no poor families in the top grade, and all the high-ranking officials in the country are from our family!
You, Yang Guang, suddenly want to take the imperial examination. Although our family still has the upper hand, there is no doubt that some of the official quotas will be taken away! Needless to say, even if it is just one, it is absolutely intolerable!
Therefore, before Yang Guang officially ascended the throne, undercurrents began to surge throughout the Sui Dynasty.
First of all, there are rumors everywhere!
Some people say that Yang Guang harmed Zhongliang, such as Liu Shu, Minister of the Ministry of War. I heard that he was a good person and did not make any mistakes, but he was suddenly imprisoned. Is this not harming Zhongliang?
Some people also say that Yang Guang poisoned his brother. There is Yang Yong's body as evidence! He was a young and handsome boy who could eat, drink and have sex, but ended up sleeping to death. Who would believe it?
Some people say that old man Yang Jian did not actually die of illness, but was poisoned by Yang Guang, a cruel boy! As for the evidence, Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua are the ones! Even the stepmother dares to kill her old man.
Dad, it should be very possible!
At first, Yang Guang didn't pay much attention to these rumors! As the saying goes, rumors only stop at the wise!
Besides, even if the common people are unwise, these rumors are of no use. They won’t kill people, but they won’t force us to step down.
But after a few days, this rumor not only showed no sign of stopping, but became more and more intense.
I don’t know which great talent used rich associations to compile this series of rumors into a complete and well-organized story.
It is said that Yang Guang took advantage of his father's illness and used strong methods to put a green hat on his father Yang Jian. The old man Yang Jian was not willing to be cuckolded, so he asked his son-in-law to draft a decree to depose Yang Guang and plan to re-establish the former crown prince Yang Yong.
. Not wanting the matter to be exposed, Yang Guang took advantage of him, killed Yang Jian, and sent Liu Shu to prison. And he was afraid that his brother would rebel if he knew the truth, so Yang Guang also killed his own brother, the former prince Yang Yong.
It was poisoned to death.
The rumors became more and more intense. When Yang Guang realized that something was wrong, it was already too late to control it.
In desperation, Yang Guang decided to put aside other matters for the time being, and first ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and then decide on his title.
Unexpectedly, Yang Guang's move actually triggered the beginning of a catastrophe.
