Chapter Seventy-Eight: Killing His Father and Becoming the Emperor
Yang Sleeve endured the incomparable pain, and pointed at Yang Zhong with his hand: "Father knows that you want the throne, and Father will give it to you, but Father needs you to promise me......"
Yang Zhong jumped up, crossed his waist, puffed out his ugly face, and snorted: "I don't know, what does my father need his son to promise you?" ”
Yang Sleeve complained with tears, his eyes were full of longing, and before he died, he still knelt in front of Yang Zhong: "I hope that in governing the country, I can listen more to the opinions of the Chang'an Wang and his wife and He Aiqing, and reuse the virtuous ministers, stay away from traitorous ministers, and you must be kind to every person in the world......
Hearing the King of Chang'an, Yang Zhong went completely crazy. His hands pinched his father's neck like a devil, "Now that I am a saint, I know what to do, and I don't need you, a dead man, to instruct me!" ”
Yang Zhong's hands kept staring at his father, and the hands on his neck that did not let go deeply pierced Yang Sleeve's heart, but Yang Sleeve did not struggle, his hands seemed to be still trying to caress his son's face, but it was a pity that ......
"Ting'er, Ah Sleeve is here to accompany you!" After saying this, Yang Sleeve closed his eyes forever with all the joys, sorrows, and sorrows!
His father died, Yang Zhong's heart still felt through after all, and gradually he let go of his hands and fell to the ground, his mouth kept kicking, and his vicious eyes became a little sad, and after a while, he stood up and covered the bed for his father: "Father, you can go with peace of mind!" In the end, he burned the decree that his father had just written, extinguished the candles, and quietly left the room!
In the early morning of the second day, the prince broke into the prince's room, looked at the sleeping prince, and desperately shouted: "His Royal Highness the prince, His Royal Highness the prince!" ”、
Yang Zhong opened his eyes, and his appearance looked very annoying: "What is the fuss about, and you still come to quarrel with the prince?" ”
Wang Yimu suddenly knelt on his knees and let out a ghostly wail: "The Holy One has died of illness!" ”
Yang Zhong's face changed instantly, he pretended not to know anything, knelt on the ground weakly, and kept shaking his head: "This is impossible, this is not really true!" ”
Wang Yimu's face is the most embarrassing, "Prince ......"
Then Wang Yimu and Yang Zhong came to Yang Sleeve's bed, looked at his father's pale face, stroked the cold body, tears also flowed out of the corners of Yang Zhong's eyes, moistening his entire cheeks, he hugged his father's body, and shouted in mourning: "Father ......"
Yonglong sixty-four years in June (Northern Chu Wenping 12 years), forty-nine-year-old Yang sleeve in the summer resort forever closed his eyes, ten days later, his body was transported back to the capital, a sentence of "the saint died" shout, a sensation in the entire court, hundreds of officials kowtowed, eunuchs rang the bell, when the death knell spread throughout the imperial city, the people outside the imperial city cried more than the people of the capital, more incredible is that when Li Jianguo of Northern Xia heard the news of Yang Sleeve's death, the corners of his eyes seemed to be pouring rain, and finally cried faint in his wife's arms.
But what is shameful is that Yang Zhong, who was kneeling in front of the coffin, was secretly snickering, cheering in his heart: "This prince is finally going to become the son of heaven of Great Chu!" ”
Half a month later, Yang Zhong ascended the throne, called Wuzun Dynasty Emperor, posthumously Emperor Yang Sleeve as Emperor Chu Cheng, went to the temple Yangzong, and changed the name Yongchang the following year.
On the first day of Yang Zhong's reign, Yang Huajian's heart felt an unprecedented crisis, so he held the gold medal for avoiding death and stepped forward: "Qiyu Emperor, this is the gold medal for avoiding death given to Weichen when the emperor was in power, and now Weichen will return it to the emperor!" At this moment, most of the people in the court looked at Yang Huajian with surprise and sadness, because at this moment, they didn't know what kind of bad ending this virtuous minister in the court would have, and of course it was difficult to imagine!
Yang Zhong laughed and deliberately asked him: "This death-free gold medal was given to Brother Jian by the emperor, Shun really doesn't know why you want to submit this death-free gold medal?" Saying this, he pretended to shake his head.
Yang Huajian replied modestly. "Back to the emperor, Weichen thinks that merit is merit, and it is passing, and its merit cannot be meritorious, this death-free gold medal is just the emperor who temporarily let Weichen kick the emperor and keep it."
Yang Zhong clapped his hands frantically, and then pointed left and right at all the princes and ministers in the court, and said in a hard voice: "Have you all heard, Brother Shun Jian is his merit can't be overcome, this death-free gold medal is just the emperor asked him to keep it for Shun, King Chang'an said it well!" ”
Yang Zhong slowly walked down the hall, looking like a praising face on the surface, but secretly showed a vicious smile: "Brother Jian, you are worthy of what the emperor said, my loyal and virtuous minister of Dachu!" When he arrived in front of Yang Huajian's eyes, Yang Zhong's eyes were surrounded by anger, burning Yang Huajian's heart, and his hands did not hesitate to snatch the gold medal in Yang Huajian's hand: "You still have the name of self-knowledge." ”
After retreating from the dynasty, He Qing, Qiu Jie, and his third brother Yang Hong came to Yang Huajian's mansion together, Yang Huajian just saw it, and was about to politely serve tea for the three, but the faces of the three were bitter, He Qing shook his hand: "There is no need to drink tea, today a few of us are here to talk to you about business." ”
The three of them took a breath and slowly sat down. He Qing looked at you for a moment, and said seriously: "Jianye, today we can all see that behind the smile of the new emperor, we are looking at you with murderous eyes!" ”
Yang Huajian nodded slightly, and said calmly: "I know, in fact, I have long thought of this day, and I have already prepared to hand over the death-free gold medal, and soon I will also hand over the sick pot in my hand to the Holy Sage!" ”
Qiu Jie was impatient and said bluntly: "Jianye, even if you hand over the death-free gold medal and the talisman now, it will still be difficult for him to be kind to you. Qiu Jie shook his head bitterly, "You don't know, the murderous eyes in the Chaozhong Holy Shrine today, and even holding a knife on Jian Ye's neck make no difference, the old man is worried!" ”
Yang Huajian stood up, held his hands, bowed, and showed a grateful look: "Thank you for your heart for me, but since ancient times, the monarch and the minister have to die, even if the saint really wants to kill Hua Jian, Hua Jian has nothing to say, so please don't worry about Hua Jian." ”
The look on Yang Zhong's face was a little more embarrassed, and he hurriedly helped Yang Huajian's hands: "Second brother, what are you talking about, sit down!" ”
He Qing's eyes were intently fixed on Yang Huajian, and his words were very serious: "Master Jian, you are not allowed to say stupid things!" Not only do you grow up with the old man, but you are also a rare loyal and virtuous minister of my Dachu, whether it is public or private, the old man does not want to see you go ...... That day. ”
"Brother He is right, Jianye, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your wife and children, if this family doesn't even have you, then they?" Qiu Jie agreed bitterly, enduring the faint pain in his heart.
At this time, Yang Zhong couldn't help the bitterness in his heart, and began to complain: "You said that this former emperor died like this, if he didn't go to the summer resort at the beginning, maybe the first emperor would not be so sudden, and the current situation would not have become like this." ”
"Master Hong, since the emperor has left us now, it will be useless for you to complain now." After speaking, He Qing turned his gaze to Yang Huajian again: "Jianye, you must live, we have just thought about it, that is, let Jianye take off his court clothes, say that he is sick and cannot enter the court, and pretend to be an incompetent person, the old man and General Qiujie will definitely do their best to protect Jianye!" ”
Yang Huajian had a bitter face and said bitterly: "What are the two seniors talking about, how can Hua Jian, as a junior, let the two seniors do this for Hua Jian?" He Qing patted him on the shoulder, "You don't have to worry so much, after all, General Qiu Jie and I are too old to live for a few years, and the people of the world in this troubled world still need the ability to save the people of the world like you, don't hesitate when you see it." ”
The news that the three of them visited the king of Chang'an together has now reached Yang Zhong's ears, and he laughed fiercely: "These traitors and thieves are really doing a good job as the dogs of the king of Chang'an." By this time, they didn't know who was the real son of heaven in Northern Chu. ”
Xie Lingyun put his arms on Yang Zhong's shoulders, with that charming smile, like a cunning fox: "They are just discussing how to save their master." But now that you've ascended the throne, it's useless for them to do so. Just because a few of them old men still want to go against the emperor, it's like hitting a stone with an egg. ”
Yang Zhong shook his head excitedly and smiled: "Okay, Yun'er said well, before Yang Huajian relied on the favor of the emperor to show off his power in front of Shun, how could Shun not kill him, and after the emperor's aftermath was completely dealt with, Shun immediately drove him to the frontier, and then sent him to the grave step by step." ”
Xie Lingyun gave a thumbs up and smiled exaggeratedly: "The emperor is wise, the emperor will definitely become a generation of overlords and unify the world." Then, Xie Lingyun crossed his feet, sat on Yang Zhong's thigh bewitchingly, and stretched out his hand to slap Yang Huajian's body, "It's just that the emperor, the slave maid has always been with you before, should you abandon the slave and maid now, and let the slave and maid stay in such a place for the rest of your life, right?" Xie Lingyun exuded a disgusting squeamishness, but in his Yang Zhong's nose, it was so fragrant, he couldn't help but kiss Xie Lingyun's chin, for a moment: "How come?" Prince Ben said that as long as Yun'er can be by Shun's side, Shun will never abandon you. Yun'er, you won't be long before you become the queen of my Great Chu. ”
"Slave and maid, thank you for the emperor's grace!" Gradually, Xie Lingyun was next to Yang Zhong's face, the two kissed again, Yang Zhong stretched out his sleeve, and the cold wind had blown out the candle, so he couldn't wait to press Xie Lingyun to lie on the bed behind him, his left hand reached into Xie Lingyun's clothes, and his right hand pulled down the curtain......
