"Master, rest assured." After Yang Yang responded, he ordered his subordinates to come over and drive the dozens of civil and military officials in the palace to the side hall next door.
It's time to go and see Concubine Tang who is still waiting in the new house, tonight's events shouldn't scare her silly! Yang Er thought as he walked towards the harem.
The eunuch who had his own Shu Wang's Mansion led the way again, and Yang Er went straight to the Shu King's wedding room with a red light.
The news of the assassin's death had reached Tang Feiran's ears through the mouths of the maids. As soon as Xing Dingguo died, he cut off the hidden dangers found on his head, which made Tang Feiran feel a lot more at ease. But after all, the king of Shu died, the chaos in the house, and Yang Er's delay in coming, which still made her uneasy, and she kept walking around the room.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside, and the door was pushed open. A cold wind blew towards her face, which made Tang Feiran feel creepy in an instant, and she shrunk her body into a ball in fright.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." A familiar voice sounded, followed by a figure approaching.
"Ahh You're finally here, take me away, I don't want to stay here for a moment. Tang Feiran recognized that the person who entered the room was Yang Er, and her heart suddenly calmed down, and she hurriedly pulled Yang Er's arm and said.
"Afraid of what? I've taken care of everything here, and no one will bother you. I've arranged for a henchman to wait outside the house, so you can sleep in peace, and I'll take you out of here after dawn." ”
"Is Dingguo also dead?"
"Dead, I was shot to death by Rui Danian's arrow. You don't care about the rest, just wait for dawn with peace of mind. I can't stay here for long, for fear that gossip won't be good for you or me. I will now go to the queen to settle down a little, which is a necessary etiquette. Okay, I'll go out first, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow morning. With that, Yang Er got up and patted Tang Feiran on the shoulder, signaling that she didn't have to be nervous, and then walked outside the house and closed the door with his hand.
"You two will be guarding outside the house tonight, and no one will be allowed to enter the house to harass the princess."
"Yes, master."
After a few brief conversations, the outside of the house fell silent as the sound of footsteps faded away. Even the entire Shu Wangfu was eeriely silent at this time, as if nothing had ever happened.
The news of the accidental killing of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, had already been told to Dong Meiren, the queen of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, and Dong Meiren was crying in the palace at this time.
This genuine brother-in-law Dong Meiren was seen by Yang Er when he was in the capital. This woman is also a bitter life, originally Dong Meiren's mother's family was a lonely clan who fled to the capital due to a military disaster, and there was only one daughter in the family. Soon after, his parents died of illness, and the Dong family was introduced to the mansion of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, as a slave, and served the daily life of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, which can be regarded as stabilizing his life. But he doesn't want to live a stable and worry-free life, but he makes this Dong family more and more slim and outstanding. Although Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, was young at this time, he had just begun to understand people, and he couldn't stand the temptation of the beauty around him, so he changed him from a maid to a concubine, and his title became Dong Meiren. Soon after, Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, took her to the fiefdom of Chengdu, the kingdom of Shu, and officially became the queen of Shu.
Yang Er walked into the palace of the King of Shu, and the maids and eunuchs did not dare to stop him. Yang Er walked inside under the guidance of the maid. Dong Meiren's crying voice sounded more and more miserable.
"Brother and sister." As Yang Er lowered her head and called softly, Dong Meiren, who was crying, stopped crying and raised her head to look while wiping the corners of her eyes.
"Second brother~ No, why is Your Majesty you? When did you come to Chengdu? Dong Meiren also knew Yang Er, because when she was in the capital, her husband had the best relationship with the second brother Yang Guang, and the two often corresponded.
"I am still one step late in rushing day and night, and now my brother died unexpectedly, and I have my brother to take care of the aftermath for him, and my brother and sister don't need to worry. People can't be resurrected after death, and younger siblings must not be too sad. Yang Er said with sympathy, the Dong beauty in front of her was too haggard, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, now that my husband is dead, I am also disheartened, and after dealing with the funeral affairs of my deceased husband, my sister will become a nun in the nunnery next to the mule and horse market in the city, hoping that Your Majesty will be fulfilled." Dong Meiren said.
"Brother and sister want to become a monk? This can't be helped, my younger siblings are only 14 years old, and they are in the prime of their youth, how can they be said to be monks? I can't do it. I want to take you back to the capital and choose a good husband to marry. Yang Er vetoed.
Of course, Yang Er of this mule and horse market knows, and this street name has also continued to Chengdu in later generations, where mules and horses were traded in ancient times, and the environment was extremely harsh. Next to this, there is a small nunnery, and the incense seems to be quite vigorous, which is the predecessor of the earliest "Wenshu Monastery". Wenshu Monastery was a famous Buddhist holy place in Chengdu in later generations, and it was also a tourist attraction for outsiders, and Yang Er also went to it once when he was studying in Chengdu. If so, an older and disgraced woman can become a nun, but Dong Meicai has only been the queen of Shu for a year, and she is very young, she wants to become a monk, which makes Yang Er, who has the idea of later generations, unacceptable, so he refused directly without thinking about it.
"Your Majesty, the courtier's sister is the queen's body, who dares to ask for it?" Dong Meiren reminded Yang Er with a depressed expression.
"Brother and sister, although you are my brother's wife, but you have never given birth, why worry that no one dares to marry? Besides, it is not uncommon for my Da Sui folk husband to marry a dead wife, and the queen and princess also have many precedents for choosing a husband to remarry, so why should you worry? You only need to be widowed for one year to remarry. Don't go to your brother and sister during the widowhood, just live in my harem temporarily, usually have your brother and sister-in-law to soothe you, and you will be less lonely. Yang Er kept explaining.
"In this case, your majesty will be in charge." Dong Meiren saw that what Yang Er said was reasonable and tried her best to appease herself, so she bowed her head and agreed, temporarily dispelling the idea of becoming a monk.
"That's right! After waiting for a year, I will choose one of the young talented generals in the court for my younger siblings to remarry, and then let your brothers and sisters-in-law carefully choose for you, and you will definitely be satisfied with your younger siblings, hehe! Come, and wait for the queen to bathe and go to bed. ”
After Yang Er dealt with Dong Meiren's affairs, the night was already very deep, and even a trace of fish belly white was revealed in the sky.
After a side hall was urgently cleaned out, it was used as Yang Er's temporary bedroom, and Wang Dai, Chuchen and other female dependents all entered the mansion to stay. In the next few days, this Shu Palace's mansion will officially become the place where Yang Er temporarily handles the affairs of Shuzhong. The palace guards were also directly taken over by Liang Shitai and others. The mourning hall of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, was also arranged in the apse, and in order to handle the affairs of the queen of Shu, Yang Er had to stay in Chengdu for at least a month. Of course, this does not affect his rectification of the Shu Kingdom, everything has just begun for Yang Er.
After taking a nap for less than an hour, the sky was bright, not that Yang Er didn't want to continue sleeping, but that he couldn't sleep anymore. Rui Danian, who was sent out last night to arrest the four nobles of Shuzhong, and Zhang Ruoshui, who seized the assets of the four families in the city, came to the palace to wait for Yang Er to summon them.
In the palace hall, all the officials in Shuzhong who were under house arrest last night were released to participate in the court meeting presided over by Yang Er. For the hundred officials in Shuzhong, this is also a special court meeting that they attach the most importance to and attach importance to, even if everyone generally didn't sleep well last night, but everyone is very energetic, trying to leave the best impression in front of His Majesty the Sui Emperor. Because everyone knows that a major reshuffle in the political arena in Shuzhong is coming.
"General Rui, how did the search for the four major families in Shuzhong progress last night? Could there be anyone missing? Yang Er asked Rui Danian, who had not slept all night.
"Back to Your Majesty, at the end of last night, the troops were divided into four routes and searched and arrested overnight, and now Shuzhong, Gu, Chen, and Xing have all been arrested, but Xing Yuying, the daughter of Xing Shouyi, has escaped." Rui Danian said.
"Hmmm! Very good. Don't care about Xing Yuying, I know where she will go, this matter has nothing to do with her, let her go. Zhang Sili: What happened to the seizure of the property of the four families? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, all the assets of the four families in the city have been seized overnight, and only some manors and fields outside the city are still being registered.
"Good! It's up to you to follow up on this matter, and I want a result within 3 days. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Where is the royal office?" Yang Er asked loudly. This office is an official name, and it is a civil official who is responsible for recording the affairs of the court.
"Your Majesty, Luo Ying of the Weichen Shuzhong Records Room listened to His Majesty's orders." A middle-aged civil servant stood up in front of a table at the back of the side and replied.
"Hmmm! Luo Ji room heard clearly, I want to draw up the purpose. First, the guards of the Shu army at Jianmen Pass immediately switched on and on when they saw the order, and let the Northern Sui army enter the pass; 2. There were 300 defenders left behind at Jianmen Pass, and the rest of the troops were all withdrawn to Jiangyou City to stand by. ”
"Zhong Jian, go and call Yang Yang." After Yang Er dictated the first holy decree, he whispered to Zhong Jian behind him.
Soon, a holy decree prepared by Luo Ji's room was brought to Yang Er. After Yang Er read it carefully, he took out the seal and stamped it, and at the same time stamped the seal of Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, on it. At this time, Yang Yang had already come to the bottom of the stairs.
"Yang Yang, this holy decree is handed over to you along with this troop transfer tiger talisman, you take two generals to Jianmen Pass, and personally hand over the holy decree to the Shu generals guarding the pass. Let it be executed immediately after it is heard, and there shall be no error. In addition, after all the Sima Chao troops of the 12th Army outside the customs have entered the customs, they will be ordered to rush to Chengdu within 10 days without a single day of delay; After the three of you finished this matter, you went straight to the capital to meet Pei Shiju, the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked him to inform the ministries that the officials should be selected to enter Shu immediately, did you hear clearly? ”
"Back to the master, the little one is clear." Yang Yang responded in one bite.
"Good! Bring this holy decree and the tiger talisman, remember to bring this tiger talisman back carefully, don't lose it. Yang Er handed the holy decree to Yang Yang and whispered.
"Please rest assured, the little one knows that this tiger talisman is more important than the little one's life. The small ones went. After speaking, Yang Yang turned around and ran out of the hall.
"Your Majesty, now there are nearly 1,000 prisoners from the four major families, all of whom are imprisoned in prison, please make a decision." Rui Danian came forward to report again.
"Hmmm! I know. It will be locked up for three days first, and it will be discussed after Zhang Sili has sealed his assets. However, they must be detained for a good life, and they must not be beaten, scolded, or abused, let alone killed. I leave them useful for themselves. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, when the minister seized the assets of the four families in the city, he found that each family had hoarded a large amount of grain, all of which were newly harvested this autumn, but it had already passed the time to hand over to the inner government, and I don't know why the grain was not put into the warehouse?" Si Lizhang Ruoshui reported.
"Oh? Everything! Where is the inner government engaged in the royal endowment? After Yang Er heard Zhang Ruoshui's report, he intuitively felt that there must be a problem, so he called Wang Yu's name.
Wang Yu, who was in charge of grain in charge of the inner government, was startled when he heard the call, and hurriedly went out of his class to respond: "The inner government is engaged in Wang Yu's here. ”
"Wang Yu, come and tell me, the first snow in Chengdu has fallen, why is the treasury still empty, and the new grain has not been put into the warehouse for a long time?" Yang Er asked sharply.
"This~This~ Your Majesty, the old minister has sent someone to collect it many times, and he and others have agreed that the sunshine is insufficient this year, and the newly harvested grain is still in the process of drying, and it can be stored when the grain is dry." Wang Yu panicked for a while, and was eager to barely justify himself, and layers of sweat beads couldn't stop popping up on his forehead.
"Humph! It's a bunch of nonsense, don't you understand? What time has it been, the new grain has not yet been put into storage, it is clear that you colluded with the Shuzhong family to deceive my brother King Shu when he was young, and deliberately hoarded it privately to blackmail the government. Come, take down the king. Yang Er shouted loudly, and then rushed into Zuo Tiancheng and other palace guards outside the hall, and cut Wang Yu's arms back to make him kneel on the ground, not daring to say a word.
"Zhang Sili, record the crime of collusion between the family and Wang Yu to deceive the master, and collect the accusations of collusion with the family to bend the law within three days."
"Obey."
When the hundreds of officials in the palace heard that everyone was in danger, they were frightened. The collusion between the ministers of Shu and the nobles of the family is not only an inner government engaged in the royal gift! Almost everyone has more or less accepted the benefits of the family and provided them with various conveniences. Who can run this check?
The court discussion was finally over, and Yang Er returned to his temporary dormitory in the side hall to prepare to catch up on sleep. At this time, the general who was responsible for protecting Tang Feiran came to his side and whispered a few words in Yang Er's ear. Yang Er couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help laughing.
One room in the Wuding Inn. Last night, Xing Yuying, who was hiding in the shadows and preparing to pick up her brother Xing Dingguo's escape, escaped Rui Danian's search because she did not return to her manor outside the city. Seeing that his brother was shot under the wall by an arrow, he didn't have time to come to the rescue. Seeing that his brother was captured and dragged into the palace by the guards of the Shu Palace, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so he had to take advantage of the night to go back to the room he booked in the Wuding Inn to hide, and at dawn he entrusted the young man he knew in the inn to go to the palace to bring a message to his best friend Rui Lianniang, and let Lianniang go to the inn to meet and discuss, wanting to find out the life and death of his brother.
The innkeeper who had just brought the message came back and said that he had brought the message to Rui Lianniang, and Xing Yuying waited anxiously for Rui Lianniang's arrival in the room.
Suddenly, Xing Yuying heard footsteps outside the door, and couldn't help but be happy in her heart, and hurriedly got up to open the door. However, before she could reach the door, the door was slammed open.
Xing Yuying was startled, and when she looked up at the door, she saw a strange young man in brocade stepping in from the outside, followed by two wolf-like guards.
"You, who are you?" Seeing that it was a living person who broke in, Xing Yuying hurriedly pulled out the dagger for self-defense, put it on his chest, and asked in a trembling voice.
