Chapter 66: A flash in the pan

Yue Wang Yuwen Sheng and Teng Wang Yuwen led the troops into the compound of the Sui State Mansion and ordered a killing ring to relieve the hatred in their hearts, but the soldiers who took the lead and entered the courtyard stopped moving.

They were about to scold but realized that the atmosphere was not right: the figures in the courtyard flickered, and it seemed that many people were confronting them.

When I looked closely, I saw that the courtyard was full of soldiers in full armor, some armed with spears, some with bows and arrows, waiting for them, the intruders, and a large number of soldiers from outside the mansion poured in from all directions to surround the army of the prince of the domain.

"Yang Jian is dead, and you still dare to resist." Yu Wensheng is the one who has led the soldiers, and he thinks that it is just the dying struggle of the Yang family's Yu family, "This king is Yu Wensheng, the king of Yue, if you put down the sword, anyway, this king promises not to blame the past!" ”

Several guards on the opposite side came out surrounded by one person, that person was Yang Jian's eldest son, Bo'an Hou Yang Yong, who saw his angry eyes and shouted: "My father is the prime minister of the Great Zhou Auxiliary Government, why are you like this!" ”

Teng Wang Yuwen sneered a few times, and then scolded Yang Jian for being a traitor and intending to usurp the throne, and the two generations of the Yang family were favored by the Yuwen clan and did not want to repay them, so they dared to do such a rebellious thing, what kind of face did they have to say that others rebelled.

"In that case, how about the two kings go with their own ministers to distinguish between right and wrong in front of His Majesty?"

Another person walked out surrounded by guards, and Yu Wensheng and Yu Wenkui were shocked after seeing the appearance of the person who came.

The man, a man in armor, was looking at him coldly, his head was wrapped in gauze on the left ear, his face was haggard, and his lips were white, as if it was Yang Jian, the prime minister who was rumored to have been seriously injured and died!

"Impossible! Aren't you dead? Yu Wensheng and Yu Wenkui exclaimed in unison.

Last night, they found out the news from different channels that Yang Jian was seriously injured and died, and his henchman Biyang Hou Pang Huang knocked on the door at night to beg for forgiveness and was willing to make meritorious contributions, and learned from him that Yang Jian did die in the early morning.

As soon as the two feudal kings who were afraid of the tail had a total play, they hurriedly contacted Zhao Wangyu and Wenzhao, and sure enough, they also decided to do it, so everyone attacked according to the division of labor agreed before.

I never thought that this was a plan to capture the old people, Yang Jian didn't die at all, there was an ambush here, and the King of Zhao and the King of Han went to the palace to rob the little emperor, I'm afraid that they also fell into the plan, and now the big thing is not good!

"King Teng, if you dare to take the opportunity to sneak attack that Benxiang when he is assassinated, he will die and can't die anymore." Yang Jian looked up to the sky and laughed, "Fortunately, God has eyes, so that my father knows who is a rebel!" ”

"This is impossible," Yu Wenqi muttered to himself, and began to regret why he didn't fight hard yesterday, if he killed Yang Jian desperately, how could he be a free prince if he killed his own son!

Yesterday, he took dozens of guards in King Zhao's mansion, and at that time, Yang Jian was attacked on the nearby street, if he desperately led the guards to mend the knife, how could he have today!

If you shoot together with King Zhao, the two guards will definitely be able to resist the counterattack of Yang Jian's henchmen, as long as it takes half a day, the kings of other clans will also make a move, how will it fall to such a point.

The smugness of rushing into the Sui State Mansion vanished, and Yu Wenkui looked desperately at the soldiers around him and was annoyed by yesterday's fear.

Yang Jian looked at the two vassal kings in front of him who led the troops to storm the mansion, his face was like frost, and the anger in his chest burst out: "Whoever conspires against him will be killed!" ”

The sound of killing was everywhere, and the soldiers of the vassal princes who were originally going to rush into the Sui State Mansion and start a killing ring were about to rush forward and catch Yang Jian, but they were shot down by random arrows.

The rest of the people were immediately stabbed by spears and suffered heavy casualties, while Yue Wang Yu Wensheng and Teng Wang Yu Wen Kui were shot as hedgehogs and fell at the gate.

Yang Jian ordered someone to cut off the heads of the two kings, and looked at the head presented to him, and his face was crazy: "In this case, this prince will kill you cleanly!" ”

If you want to capture the past, this is a strategy that Yang Jian and his henchmen decided immediately, anyway, the clan will have to be cleaned up sooner or later, so it is better to take this opportunity to kill those who dare to come forward.

He took advantage of the assassination to spread the news that he was seriously injured and died, and sent a few henchmen to pretend to be panicked and wanted to make meritorious contributions to those powerful vassal kings, just to encourage the other party to raise troops and seize power.

In this way, it was the other party's first move, and everyone in the world saw it, so it was natural for him to fight back and kill them cleanly!

At the same time, outside the Imperial Palace, Ouchi Zhengyang Palace.

Zuo Wubo Lu Ben put the head of Zhao Wangyu Wenzhao into a wooden box held by his entourage, and then bowed to the Empress Dowager Yang Lihua, who was protected by the guards in the middle on the steps, on one knee and saluted:

"Qi Yu Empress Dowager, the prime minister designed to let Wei Chen lead the snake out of the hole, and failed to explain in advance that the Queen Mother and His Majesty were frightened and asked for punishment."

Yang Lihua's face was pale but bravely looked at the headless body of Zhao Wang Yuwen under the steps in front of her, the ground was red with blood from the blood of the killed vassal king's own soldiers, the little emperor had been brought into the palace by the guards to avoid being frightened, and she witnessed the whole process.

Zhao Wang Yu Wenzhao ordered to storm Zhengyang Palace, but he was unexpectedly beheaded by Zuo Wu Bo Lu Ben, who pretended to surrender to his side, and suddenly Zhao Wang and his own soldiers were in chaos, and they were immediately killed by the guards who had been prepared for a long time.

"What the hell is going on in Lu Qing's family?" Yang Lihua is not the kind of delicate flower who faints when she sees blood, although it is the first time she has seen this kind of bloody scene, she can still stand firm and speak.

Lu Ben admired the performance of the Queen Mother very much, and thought that she could still deal with it calmly in the face of Zhao Wangyu and Wenzhao's persecution without knowing it, and she was really worthy of being the prime minister's daughter.

"Please rest assured, everything is under the control of the prime minister!"

He is Yang Jian's confidant, and he is also one of the few people who pretended to take refuge in the vassal king last night, and rushed to King Zhao's mansion overnight, kowtowed in front of him with bitter meat tricks, begging the other party to give him a chance to reform himself, saying that he was willing to do it and should open the palace gate.

King Zhao really planned to lead the troops with the King of Han to rush into the palace with him in order to control the little emperor, but what they didn't expect was that this so-called God-given opportunity was just a trap for Prime Minister Yang Jian.

"But the prime minister still didn't count a little, that Han Wang Yuwen praised it," Lu Ben muttered to himself, and then looked north, showing disdain.

He thought that King Han, who entered the palace with King Zhao, would go to Zhengyang Palace to rob the emperor together, but he never thought that this guy would rush to the royal temple in the north.

Later, I thought about it, there were no big people in the temple, but there were two big beauties: Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang, the widows of the two emperors who had become monks.

On the occasion of this great change, instead of controlling the forbidden army, he robbed women, the vassal king of the Yuwen family is really a bunch of wrecks, and whoever wants to serve them is a fool!

In the temple on the north side of the palace, a group of guards with bows and knives are carrying away the corpses on the ground outside the meditation room, and a few people are carrying buckets to wash the ground and carefully wash the bloodstains with large brooms.

In the meditation room, several palace maids and bhikshunis comforted Chen Yueyi and Yuan Leshang, who had lost their faces, and they put their coats on the two barely stranded mages before helping each other out of the room.

Han Wang Yuwen Zan was disheveled, fell to the ground on his back with several knives, and watched the two beauties leave, just when he was about to succeed, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the door, and before he could react, he was broken into the door and torn open and cut over.

What the hell is going on? Didn't Brother Wang go to Zhengyang Palace to rob the little emperor, how could anyone still come over to ruin the king's good deeds!

He regretted it very much, the two beauties had been stripped naked by him, and he was about to take the last step, knowing that it was better to get one of them at least than to get what he wanted.

A long knife with a cold light appeared in his field of vision, and Yuwen Zan watched as one person swung the knife at him.

"How so" was the last thing he said.

Within a day, the dust settled, Prime Minister Yang Jian was assassinated in Chang'an City, and the vassal kings who thought they could reverse the situation rose up to seize power, but they were killed one by one by the clan vassal kings who wanted to capture the prime minister and fought back.

The glimmer of hope that the Great Zhou Yuwen clan would return to power was just a flash in the pan.

On August 19, Zhao Wang Yu Wenzhao, Yue Wang Yu Wensheng, Teng Wang Yu Wenkui, and Han Wang Yu Wenzan raised troops to attack the imperial city and the Prime Minister's Mansion and were immediately destroyed by the four kings.

It was also found that Bi Wang Yu Wenxian, Chen Wang Yu Wenchun, and Dai Wang Yu Wenda participated in the rebellion, and the emperor ordered the seven kings and their heirs to be imprisoned.

The forbidden army rushed into the palaces of the kings, arrested the dragon sons and grandsons, and put them in prison together with the suspected rebellion, and on the same day, the facts of the case were verified, the evidence was conclusive, and the crime of treason was dragged to the execution ground and beheaded.

Zhao Wang Yuwen Zhao had a total of five sons, except for the youngest son Yuwen Qiankeng, who was established as the 'puppet emperor' by Wei Chi Jiong in Yecheng, Xiangzhou, the other four sons were all killed; Yue Wang Yuwen Sheng had five sons, all of whom were killed; Teng Wang Yuwen had four sons, all of whom were killed; and Han Wang Yuwen Zan had three sons, all of whom were killed.

Bi Wang Yu Wenxian, who was 'rebellious', had three sons, all of whom were killed, Chen Wang Yuwenchun had three sons, all of whom were killed, and Dai Wang Yu Wenda had two sons, all of whom were killed. Within a day, 31 of the seven vassal kings and 24 princes lost their lives, and their family property was confiscated and the concubines were not slaves.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, the people of Chang'an did not have time to go to the execution ground to watch the rare beheading scene and learned that the execution was completed, and in addition to the sect, there were hundreds of rebellious villains who were beheaded together for public display.

Under the bloody wind and rain, the clans were not born behind closed doors, for fear of causing a murderous disaster, but whenever there was a knock on the door outside the door, they were all so frightened that their faces were bloodless, except for the Gongyu Wenwen Mansion in Xiyang County, everything was as before.

Huang Aqi, the gatekeeper of the Xiyang County Mansion, sat at the door uncertainly, looked around for a while, and saw a large group of forbidden troops rushing towards him on the street, his eyes flickered, he stood up, neither returned to the house to pass the word or close the door, but walked to the opposite wall and stood still.

"It's the front!" A young man ran in front of the procession, pointed to the door and shouted, and the murderous forbidden soldiers rushed straight through the handleless gate to the house, and then provoked a burst of chickens and dogs.

"Who are you?" A forbidden soldier looked at Huang Aqi, who was standing by, and asked, just now he could see clearly that this kid was sitting at the gate of the Xiyang County Mansion and walked away when he saw them coming.

Huang Aqi was about to speak, but he caught a glimpse of someone in the mansion scolding: "I am Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County of the Great Zhou Clan, what are you going to do!" As soon as the words fell, I saw several forbidden soldiers escorting a Lang Jun in a brocade robe but with a disheveled hair out of the door.

"Don't come to be harmless, Xiyang Jungong?" The young man who led the way, Lang Jun, took a look at the other party, and then looked at him with a smile.

"Yuwen Zhi and what do you want to do!" The Lang Jun with his cloak was Yu Wenwen, he gritted his teeth and stared at Yu Wenzhi in front of him and scolded: "You dare to mess with this father to see the prime minister!" ”

"It's the prime minister who wants to arrest you, a traitor!" Yu Wenzhi laughed, turned his head and shouted to the forbidden soldiers: "There is a murder weapon and evidence in the mansion that assassinated the prime minister, and everyone will be rewarded for finding the prime minister!" ”

Soon after, a piece of news shook Chang'an City: Yu Wenzhi, the second son of Gongyu Wenshu of Puyang County, and reported Xiaozuo Gongbo and Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County as the real culprits who assassinated Prime Minister Yang Jian.

The forbidden army then found the murder weapon and other incriminating evidence in his mansion, and now Yu Wenwen and his accomplices have been put in prison to be tried clearly and immediately beheaded!
