Chapter 19: Killing the King
There was no one on the path leading to Yang Guang's bedroom, and the eunuchs and maids who usually served on the left and right were also gone, but at this moment, it was the quietest place.
It is still a splendid palace, but it has a few more lonely flavors. To Ruyue's surprise, there was no singing and dancing on weekdays.
Gonggong Yuan stood at Yang Guang's door and took a nap.
"What about the emperor?" Ruyue stepped forward.
"It's in there." Gonggong Yuan rubbed his eyes and saluted, "Princess Wanfu." After a pause, he added, "Princess, you can count it, the saint has been sitting in the dormitory in a daze every day for a while, always saying some bad things, there is no one to visit, and it is useless for the slave to say anything." ”
"It's been hard for my father-in-law these days," Ruyue nodded and hurriedly walked in.
The hall was just lit with a dim oil lamp, Yang Guang sat in the inner room, the glass bead curtain flashed with luster, and Ruyue couldn't see Yang Guang's expression clearly. The marble pillars hovering over the double dragon are majestic, and the golden dragon chair also exudes dazzling brilliance.
Ruyue expected that Yang Guang was drunk in the house again, but she didn't expect him to have meticulous hair, neatly dressed in a dragon robe, holding a book of poetry, and there was wild grass on his desk that he wrote on a whim, and even the sword on the wall was wiped clean. All of this is like a return to the light, which makes Ruyue shudder.
"I suddenly want to go hunting." Yang Guang looked at Ruyue, his face was full of tiredness, and he said to himself: "It's time to invade, why is there no one to sleep?" ”
With that, he stood up on his own.
"Brother Huang." Ruyue stopped Yang Guang's pace, "I'm afraid there will be changes in the palace." ”
"Prime Minister Yuwen is really breathless." Yang Guang sighed.
"Let's run away, live the life of a pauper, and leave the world to others to fight! You've got it. Seeing that Yang Guang was unmoved, Ruyue was in a hurry.
"I'm not leaving." Lifting the glass bead curtain, Yang Guangsheng sat on the dragon chair, "I am the emperor of the Great Sui, I, don't go." ”
"Brother Huang!" Ruyue knelt on the cold floor with her skirt, the overly excited shoulder injury exploded again, and the blood seeped out again, "Please, go with Ruyue, no one blames you for ruining the world, you can start again." ”
"Ruyue is a child after all!" As if muttering to himself, a smile appeared on Yang Guang's face in surprise, and he took out an apple from the jade plate, "Ayu, do you say that I have grown taller recently?" ”
Yang Guang looked at the apple in his hand affectionately, and he looked at Liu Yu like this back then, Liu Yu always spoke gently and gently: "Ah Mi has grown a lot taller." ”
"Brother Huang!" Ruyue was about to cry.
"Shh~" Yang Guang interrupted Ruyue, with a childish face, "Listen, footsteps, Ayu is coming to pick me up!" ”
If you listen closely, it is really a messy footstep, mixed with noise.
Ruyue immediately stood up, and wanted to go out to find out the truth, but saw Gonggong Yuan running in with a frightened face, and put the wooden bolt on the door in a panic.
"Prime Minister Yuwen is leading a group of people in this direction! What about the princess? ”
"Brother Huang!" Subconsciously ran to Yang Guang on the dragon chair, and for the first time, he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and made a gesture to drag Yang Guang up: "Are you going to die here?" ”
"Your Majesty! Please, minion! Father-in-law Yuan also knelt on the ground, his chubby face full of tears and snot, "Let's go with the princess!" The minions are here for a while! ”
Yang Guang looked at the two of them, always calm, Shi Shiran got up and dragged Ruyue: "You two come with me." ”
There are some calligraphy and painting antiques on a bookshelf in the inner room, and Yang Guang never allows people to come here easily.
Yang Guang twisted the porcelain in the shape of a purple clay pot vigorously, the bookshelf was turned away, and a secret passage appeared here.
"Holy Wisdom!" Yuan Gonggong couldn't help but admire.
"Great!" Ruyue almost cried with joy, walked in curiously, and beckoned to Yang Guang, "There are no wonders in the world, and the imperial brother is really clever!" ”
Yang Guang smiled and nodded, and at the same time motioned for Gonggong Yuan to also walk in, he twisted his fat body and squeezed in with difficulty: "Although it is a narrow alley, it always has to save lives, and the minions don't dislike it!" ”
"Where does this lead?" Such as the month of doubt.
"The first room, is the emperor's uncle, the second is the queen, the last room is yours, at the end of the secret passage is a grocery warehouse, where no one usually goes, there are small maids' clothes, disguised, go and live an ordinary life." Yang Guang kept smiling, but he kept standing in the inner room.
"Brother Huang, come in quickly!" Ruyue vaguely realized that something was wrong, "No, you can't ......" Before the words fell, Yang Guang had already turned the porcelain, and the door was fast, not giving Ruyue any chance to close.
"Brother Huang!" Subconsciously panicked, desperately slapping the wall that was no different from usual.
And Yang Guang at this end has already destroyed the purple clay pot, in order to avoid Yu Wenhua and suspicion, Yang Guang smashed the porcelain, tore the calligraphy and painting, and created the image of his own trapped beast fight.
"Father-in-law Yuan, what should I do?" Ruyue asked Gonggong Yuan beside her with a sad face.
"Princess, get out of the way, let the minions try to see if they can knock them out!"
"Knock knock!" Only three echoes echoed through the chamber, and nothing happened.
"Ruyue ......" Yang Guang's faint voice came out, "I'm sorry to force you to do so many things that you don't want to do......"
"Brother Huang!" Ruyue pushed away Gonggong Yuan, stuck to the wall, and desperately bit her lip to prevent tears from falling, "Are you okay to come in?" Come in, let's think about the long term, okay......"
"It's useless, I've already smashed the switch, and the switches for the other three rooms and exits are in the secret passage......"
"Why do you want to ...... like this" pounded desperately against the wall, and his entire palm was swollen.
"It's torture for me to live more than the last day, I have lived twenty years longer than Liu Yu, an apple a year, she owes me too long......"
Tears fell one by one. Ruyue could only slide weakly down the wall and fall to the ground.
"Look! Yu Wenhua and when did he dare to look at the door of my room so presumptuously......" Yang Guang's voice came sparsely, "I am still the Son of Heaven, I can't compromise with someone who tries to rebel...... Xiao Yuanzi...... Let me make the last will: protect my imperial sister ......"
Yang Guang's voice disappeared completely, and Ruyue stood up again, slapping the wall: "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?" Answer Ruyue, Brother Huang, are you still there......"
There was only an echo of the slapping, and no one responded like a moon......
Gradually, blood stains were left along the walls.
"Princess, stop slapping!" Gonggong Yuan couldn't help but comfort Ruyue, "The princess must not live up to the hard work of the saint, the saint left three rooms to ask the princess to save people, and now there is no delay for a moment!" ”
"Father-in-law Yuan, you're right." Ruyue stood up and wiped her tears, "Now you and I are the only ones who remain loyal to the emperor, and we must not live up to the emperor's instructions to the two of us......"
"Princess Shengming."
"Let's go our separate ways, you go to save the prince, I go to save the mother, and gather at the entrance of the Ruyue room in the secret passage."
"Yes."
Ruyue was finally persuaded by Yuan Gonggong, and the two discussed how to save people.
Yang Guang here was sitting in the main hall with a majestic expression.
This is the scene that everyone slammed open the mahogany door and saw.
Everyone gasped, but no one dared to step forward.
Yang Guang smiled contemptuously: "With a few of you wine bags and rice bags, you dare to covet my country?" ”
During the stalemate, some people had already put down their weapons and wanted to kneel.
Yu Wenhua stood up and shouted: "Dog Emperor, your country has been trampled by yourself, take your life!" ”
"Prime Minister, you are wrong, my country was ruined by you." Yang Guang smiled slightly, and said carefully, "There is a famine in Shandong, you refuse to allocate grain, the flood in the south, you sit idly by, and the Taiyuan refugees, you don't move...... In this world, it should not be me who everyone gets to blame, but you, the prime minister! ”
"Nonsense!" Yu Wenhua immediately became angry, strode forward, and held an object in his hand, "The heroes of the world agree, the person who gets this jade seal is supported by the world, and this true son of heaven should be an old man!" ”
"Long live Prime Minister Yuwen!" Someone shouted, and everyone immediately knelt down, "Long live Prime Minister Yuwen!" ”
Yang Guang looked at Yu Wenhua and his invincible expression, but he couldn't help but sigh.
It is inaudible, but it is heard by Yu culture.
"Is the Holy One satisfied with my arrangement?" Yu Wenhua walked to Yang Guang's voice, full of pride.
"I have nothing to say." Yang Guang closed his eyes and looked like he was resigned to his fate.
"I, respect your meaning, what a way to die, since the choice."
Someone brought up a tray with three things on top: a crane-topped red, a three-foot white silk, and a dagger.
"It is said that Hedinghong had a seizure and bled from seven orifices, and his death was terrifying." Yang Guang frowned, "If it's a dagger, how can the royal people see blood...... It's a three-foot white silk......"
While speaking, someone had already taken out the white silk, hung it on the beam, and tied it in a dead knot. Another man brought in a log stool.
"Your Majesty, please."
Yang Guang slowly got up and walked over step by step under the gaze of everyone, as if he had walked through his life like this.
He remembered that he had once been on his knees, and his father and mother loved him......
Later, he killed his father and mother......
He remembered that he had a deep brotherly relationship......
After the last one, he forced his eldest brother to crash into a tree and die tragically......
He remembered his original partner, Empress Xiao......
The most embarrassing let her die alone in the harem......
He remembered that he had read Sima Qian's "Historical Records", and he was so disgusted with Qin Shi Huang that he wept for the suffering sentient beings, and swore to fight horses for the rest of his life and swear to ensure the stability of this world......
After the most arrogance, he was arrogant and luxurious, and he built a lot of buildings, and the heroes of the world rose up and reversed......
He remembered that he had hunted horses and bathed in the spring breeze......
After the most lull sings every night, the hibiscus spring festival......
Sure enough, when Yu Lu met her, everything was different......
Lift your feet and step on a wooden stool. Slowly put his head into the white silk......
He remembered that he had been brave and martial, and he went into battle to kill the enemy, and everyone praised him......
He remembered that he had saved a wounded fawn, but when it was healed, it refused to leave, and he had followed him for a long time on the day of the victory in the war......
He remembered the most resentful gaze of the courtiers he had killed himself......
He remembered that the woman he was lucky enough to be beaten to death with a stick when she was pregnant, and screamed terribly......
This day has made everyone, too, wait too long...... Yang Guang thought, he kicked the stool lightly, looked at Yu Wenhua and, Prime Minister, you can't fight me, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it's not that I can't be a good emperor, but for a woman, I have failed the whole world......
