Volume 2: Turbulence Chapter 42: Chaos
The whole country was in tears, and when Su Qu died by the tree. - Remembering Fusu.
——————————————————
Two days later, Gao Si returned to the Mansion of Chu State, and in his courtyard, he was accompanied by his wife Yang Min.
This Miss Yang is wearing a plain white robe, a pair of starry eyes are shining, gestures, and extravagance, as if it is a thorny rose that people like to see and are difficult to approach.
On the stone table, there are some melons and fruits, the surrounding flowers and trees are staggered, the maid leaves after serving tea, and the husband and wife sit opposite each other and taste tea.
Yang Min looked at her husband, only to see Bai Gaosi's face solemn, and holding an ancient book in his hand, sitting opposite and staring at herself, she couldn't help but blush slightly, and suddenly said angrily to Gao Si: "You are not at Sister Xu in Tonghufang, Lang Qing concubine, how can you be willing to come back today?" ”
"Madam, although you and I are only a superficial husband and wife, we are a family after all. There may be something big about to happen, and this matter is related to the lives of dozens of people in the Yang Mansion, and I have to discuss it with you. Yesterday, the teacher sent this secret book, which made me frightened. Minmin, you can take a look too. ”
Yang Minyu was stunned, took the secret book of the ancient book, and saw that it was written: "The general of the Taiping Sutra is brief, and he opened the sentence 'Taiping I will not come, I will not come to peace', and then told about the secret technique of casting Taiping Dao with a killing sword." ”
After seeing it, he pulled out his portable sword and tried to run it according to the secret method in the book, but with a "stuck" sound, the sword broke, and the tea set on the table in front of the two of them also fell to the ground and shattered.
Yang Min's body was even weaker, and he almost fell backwards.
Gao Si suddenly changed color, this technique is an ominous method!
He hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his wife, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.
Gao Si waited for Yang Min to straighten out his breath and said, "People are unpredictable, I don't know what the teacher has in mind when he gave me this secret method." As he spoke, he gently patted Yang Min's fragrant shoulder and shouted, "Min'er! ”
Yang Min relieved herself, struggled and leaned into her husband's arms, and said: "Mr. Xu (Wenyuan) is my brother (Yang Xuangan), brother-in-law (Li Mi) and Han King Yang Liang, and your husband and your common teacher, who is very knowledgeable, but has big intentions in his heart. Before his death, his father once said that Mr. Xu was a member of the Northern Heavenly Master of the Great Qi Dynasty, and he was very wary of him. ”
Then speculated on the reason and said, "Husband, do you suspect that the eldest brother and brother-in-law have also received similar secret techniques?" Are they afraid that they will be affected by it and cause trouble to their families?"
Gao Si smiled bitterly and said, "This is what I'm worried ......about, the Holy Lord has just finished opening the canal, and he is going to send troops to conquer Liaodong." The turmoil in the world is imminent, and this cannot be reversed by manpower. ”
After a pause, he continued: "However, the imperial court is not irretrievable, since the opening of the emperor Zhaoji for 30 years, the national strength has been thriving, and although the people's power has been excessively consumed since the accession to the throne, the crown prince Yang Zhaoxian is more than Qin Zhifu Su Gongzi, and there will be chaos in the Great Sui." ”
Yang Min was puzzled, looked at her husband, Gao Si saw that there was no one left and right, so she whispered: "The eldest brother has a double pupil disappearance, and he has been exclusive to the Son of Heaven since ancient times, and he had great ambitions earlier." ”
"Ambitious?" Yang Min's family history naturally knows that the ancient emperor Shun and the overlord of Western Chu Xiang Yu are all heavy pupils.
"Hey, if that's not the case, why did my father-in-law choose me and Li Mi as assistants? However, you have to persuade the eldest brother to be difficult at this time. As he spoke, he told the truth that the first righteous person is not a king.
The first righteous person is not the king, which means that the gun shoots the first bird.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the first rebels were Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and those who won the country were Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was the Yellow Turban Zhang Jiao who launched the uprising, and it was Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan who sat on the throne.
Yang Min gasped when he heard this, immediately got up, and called the carriage: "I'll go and persuade the eldest brother." ”
Gao Si looked at Yang Min's distant back, pondered for a moment, and muttered to himself: "Okay, Yang Xuangan depends on whether you listen to persuasion or not." Uncle, rebellion has been a road since ancient times, either life or death! ”
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.
"Brother Baiyao, what's the matter?" Gao Si got up and found someone coming, and couldn't help asking.
Li Baiyao stepped forward and hurriedly said: "Chongde, there is something important in the East Palace. Yesterday, all the imperial doctors went to consult the prince, and they will follow me to find out the news. ”
"Okay, let's go find out." The two hurriedly dressed up and rushed to the outside of the house.
Soon arrived at the junction place, and after a while, I saw Su Miao coming, and said in frustration: "The prince died of a sudden illness, and the sage was in great pain, and ordered Yu Shiji to write a policy for his funeral, nicknamed Yuande." ”
"The prince is sick and dead?" Gao Si and Li Baiyao were shocked.
The crown prince Yang Zhao, who was established as the prince in the first year of the great cause, has both civil and military skills, can be good at riding and shooting, and is benevolent. Since the Great Cause, when the emperor toured the world, he was ordered to stay in the eastern capital, pacify the people, and coordinate hundreds of officials, which made great contributions.
Since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he has opened the imperial examination and selected talents; Dig canals, dredge the north and south, and dominate the world. As the merit gradually flourishes, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, but only the prince has never been scolded.
Yang Guang, who prides himself on being wise and wise, and his merits are comparable to those of the first emperor, have said to the minister many times: "The prince, who grows in heaven, has the amount of a king, and you can assist him in a hundred years."
In the eyes of the world, the crown prince is often compared to Fusu, the eldest son of the First Emperor.
Hearing this, Gao Si's face became even more gloomy, waved goodbye, and turned around without saying a word.
Li Baiyao sighed, cried and said: "Brother Chongde and virtuous, the prince died suddenly, and the world will be in chaos." ”
"Oh? How so? Gao Si didn't dare to underestimate him and asked.
"The crown prince has been in charge of the East Palace for seven or eight years, and once he dies, his son Wang Yu will inevitably succeed to the throne, and the lord and young ministers are suspicious, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to control the domineering generation of his subordinates." Li Baiyao did not shy away from saying it in front of his best friend.
"As for His Majesty's second son, Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, is arrogant and arrogant, likes to be lustful and lustful, and has been punished by the emperor many times, so the king of Qi has no possibility of inheriting the great treasure."
"Besides, the emperor's youngest son, Zhao Wanggao, is seven years old and three years younger than the emperor's grandson Yang Yu, and coupled with his humble background, it is even more unconvincing. Whether it is to consolidate people's hearts or to be a national sage, it must be the emperor's grandson Wang You who will eventually sit on the throne. ”
"But now that the Goryeo barbarian king Li is in transgression, and the rumors are spreading, the saint has always been strong, and he has ordered to recruit millions of soldiers. After the emperor's grandson Wang You succeeded to the throne, he could only suppress the situation if he stayed in the eastern capital, and there would be a big mess. ”
When Li Baiyao said this, he didn't say anything, his face was equally solemn, he was the same person who knew Yang Xuangan's long-term ambitions.
In just one sentence, the direction of the court was clearly explained, and Gao Si couldn't help but admire.
"Brother Baiyao, the world is about to rise, this is the evolution of heaven's will, and you and I are in it." Speaking of this, Gao Si said with emotion: "How about being in the same boat? ”
Li Baiyao was immediately overjoyed and said, "I can't ask for it." Speaking of which, I am good at literature, and I am good at martial arts. ”
At that moment, the two of them were settled in their hearts, and returned to the Guogong Mansion together, waiting for the chaos to come.
Luoyang, the eastern capital, is the residence of Luoyang Ling.
The sky-high incense array penetrates the divine capital, and the city is full of golden armor.
Chrysanthemums are in full bloom in September, and there are also many people in Luoyang. There are also a lot of flowers in the backyard of Luoyang, which is full of flowers, with towering giant trees, which is refreshing.
Yang Xuangan was just called back from the county government by his wife Cui. I was about to take a tea break, when I heard the news, there was a soft crack, and the cup fell to the ground and cracked into pieces.
He couldn't believe it, and said in surprise, "What? Prince Yang Zhao is dead? ”
His heart was greatly shaken, and he couldn't help but stand up, waiting for Li Mi to confirm the authenticity of the information, but the memories of more than ten years in his mind kept flashing.
Yang Xuangan and Yang Zhao have known each other since childhood and know each other very well.
It can be said that both of them are heroes, or they are types with very different personalities. In a word, Yang Xuangan is the reincarnation of the overlord, his courage is slightly amazing, and he can often be accompanied by others.
The crown prince Yang Zhao is similar to Liu Bang, who is kind and kind, treats people sincerely, and the heroes of the Quartet are happy to use it. Although there was no head-to-head confrontation because of the identity gap between the two sides, Yang Zhao was jealous of Yang Xuangan's ability to govern.
Now that the great enemy is gone, if there is only the fierce means of today, why be afraid?
Yang Xuangan slowly turned around, stepped forward, opened the window, and stared in the direction of the palace, not moving like a sculpture.
It was silent outside the window, but at some point, lightning and thunder suddenly thundered, and it rained heavily. The autumn rain is majestic, the rain falls on the chrysanthemums, stays for a while, and finally the crystal slips down, and the chrysanthemums in the rain appear more unruly!
A gust of cold wind blew, a few chrysanthemums bloomed in the wind, looking at the chrysanthemum picture in the wind and rain, Yang Xuan couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
"Brother Fa, you and I will replace the wine with tea and sacrifice a cup to the prince. We have endured this for a long time, lurking minions, but we can't make an inch, outsiders seem to us to be incompetent, but you and I know that we have great ambitions in our hearts, and we want to overthrow this faint monarch and sit in the dragon court by himself! ”
"Hehe, Xuangan, our chance has come. If the emperor conquers Liaodong, he will pour the strength of the whole country, and grain and grass will be the key at that time. All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. As long as you ask yourself to be the chief of the grain, great things will be done. ”
Yang Xuangan raised his glass and clinked glasses with Li Mi, and drank it all. They looked at each other and laughed, all without saying a word.
The so-called heroes see the same thing, and there are also people in the Tang Guogong Mansion who are doing the same plan.
Liu Wenjing, whose name is Zhaoren, is a native of Jingzhao Wugong (now Shaanxi Wugong), and his ancestral home is Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu). The surname is Kuangda and bold, handsome and handsome, outstanding talents, and he is good at scheming, but unfortunately he was born in a poor family and was not appreciated by the powerful.
In recent days, there have been many major events, the barbarians of Liaodong have invaded, the prince has died of illness, the emperor has been furious, the important ministers have panicked, and Li Yuan is even more trembling.
"My lord, if the prince dies, the world will be in chaos. As the leader of the Lee valve, now is the time to make a difference. I was surprised when I first heard it, but now I realize that you are really destined to return - this miracle of creation, the change of fortune, is really unpredictable, and the opportunity cannot be lost! ”
Another scribe, Pei Lian, also said: "My lord, the troubled times are coming, if you don't rise up, sooner or later others will take advantage of it." The destiny is in Li, please make a good picture as soon as possible. ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem-------" Tang Guogong Li Yuan let out a cough, and the voices of the two people who persuaded him were low, and the room was quiet.
"Hey, there is another person in the world who has died, and Yang Zhao deserves the name of the prince. I am a loyal servant of the court, how can I plan such an unrighteous thing? I'll have to mention it again in the future! ”
Liu Wenjing and Pei Lin glanced at each other, feeling a little disappointed.
A young man pushed the door in and saluted: "Father, Your Majesty's order to send troops has been received on your behalf." It was his eldest son, Li Jiancheng.
"From this day on, the two gentlemen are their own people. I don't know how to teach me? Only then did Li Yuan reveal his true colors and said slowly.
"May the Lord serve him to death!" Liu Wenjing and Pei Lin bowed their heads at the same time.
"There is a plan to ensure the fairness and safety of the owner."
"A certain also has a plan, and he is about to report to the lord."
Li Yuan looked at the two major strategists under him, and a smile leaked from his wrinkled face.
