Chapter 475: Suspicion Kills
Luoyang Imperial Palace, inside the Hall of Daye. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the dormitory of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, at the first entrance is usually the place where some important ministers are usually privately received to talk, since the prophecy circulated, Yang Guang said that he did not seem to care, but his heart was full of suspicions, after all, it involved the fortunes of the country, and no king wanted to see this potential threat of subverting his regime.
"The Son of Heaven has no head!" Yang Guang's eyes were full of murderous intent, and his whole body was covered with a layer of cold.
Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji, Su Wei, Pei Yun, Duguji, Pei Ju and others are here, these are Yang Guang's most trusted ministers at present.
"Do you think the prophecy is credible?" Yang Guang suddenly asked.
Several ministers have been serving all year round, of course, they know in their hearts that Yang Guang believes it, and he wants to kill people, otherwise, the heart disease will not be removed, but I am afraid that the suspicion will be heavier, and no one will have good fruit to eat.
What's more, some people here have long had opinions on Li Valve becoming the first gate valve in Guanlong, as long as they move to Li Valve, dozens of important positions will be vacated in the court, all above the fourth grade, and below the fifth grade to the seventh grade, no less than a few hundred people surnamed Li, this is like a big pie, the family where several people belong can share the profits, so no one will object and excuse the Li family.
Su Wei replied at this time: "Your Majesty, proverbs also appeared in ancient times, the two most famous are none other than the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, one is: '***** also', but Qin Shi Huang misunderstood, thinking that it was Northern Hu, so he continued to build the Great Wall to prevent the Hu people from going south, but in the end, Great Qin died at the hands of his son Hu Hai!"
"Another thing, is the Han Dynasty 'there are willow trees in the forest, the stiffness is revived, and the insects eat the leaves into writing: Gongsun disease has been established', it is said that in the willow tree of Shanglin Yuan, there are birds that can actually devour the leaves out of the shape of words, and read it into a sentence: 'Gongsun disease has been established' aroused people's attention, and later Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty collapsed without heirs, and the powerful minister Huo Guang and others proposed to establish Liu He, the king of Changyi, but Liu He was absurd and promiscuous, and he lost the imperial etiquette and disordered the Han system, so he reigned for 27 days, and let Huo Guang abolish them, and then set up others, and set up the name "Sick", and the explanation made sense, That is, the illness of the emperor and grandson has been established as an heir, and it has also been fulfilled. β
Although Su Wei's answer does not seem to directly answer Yang Guang's question, in fact, by quoting scriptures, he said that proverbs have been fulfilled in history, and they are a kind of destiny, so we should listen to them with caution.
Yang Guang is proficient in literature, so he naturally heard these two allusions, nodded slightly, his face became more gloomy, and asked again: "Who do you think it will be that can fulfill the proverb?" β
Yu Wenshu was silent for a moment, and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the person who fulfills the fulfillment must hold the military power in his hands, and he also has a big background, high prestige, and can respond to every call, this kind of person is the number one suspect who threatens the imperial power and His Majesty." β
Yang Guang nodded when he heard this, which coincided with what he thought, he would not forget how his father Yang Jian obtained the throne from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, as well as how the Western Wei Dynasty was obtained by the Yuwen clan and the Eastern Wei Dynasty was stolen by the Gao clan, all have a characteristic, that is, the ministers controlled the civil and military power of the imperial court, and responded to every call.
Now that the most powerful Hongnong Yang Valve in Guanlong has just been defeated, Li Valve has emerged, making Yang Guang, a centralized monarch who is extremely jealous of the gate valve, feel intolerable.
"Duke Li Hun, do you think there is any threat?" When Yang Guang said it himself, he had already moved to kill.
Yu Shiji arched his hand at this time and said: "Your Majesty, this Li Hun is a veteran of the court, the tenth son of Li Mu, the eighth pillar of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, one of the current leaders of Li Valve, and also the general of the right Xiaowei, the doctor of Guanglu, has the power of the Praetorian Guard in his hands, plus his brothers are numerous, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the court and the opposition, I'm afraid it's not easy to move!" β
The more he said that it was difficult to move this person, the stronger Yang Guang's understanding of Li Hun's harm in his heart became, and it stimulated his ruthlessness even more.
Yang Guang glanced at Yuwenshu intentionally or unintentionally, because Li Hun and Yuwenshu have a nepotistic relationship, Yuwenshu's sister is Li Hun's wife, and the two are the relationship between brother-in-law and eldest brother, however, Yuwenshu's sister-in-law has been dead for many years, and Li Hun once promised Yuwenshu Xu Jue's generous gift and broke his promise, and the two broke up a long time ago.
But this time he wants to do something to Li Hun's family, Yang Guang still wants to test Yuwenshu's attitude, otherwise, the rumors will leak out, and it will be easy to cause extraneous branches.
Yuwen Shu's body was excited, and he thought of his relationship with Li Hun, and immediately stood up and clarified: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister and the Duke of Yuguo have already broken off diplomatic relations, these years, it is not bad not to pinch your mouth, and there has been no contact in private, if it is really the fulfillment of this person, the minister will not favor and shelter, but just implore Your Majesty to spare the lives of a few children with Yuwen blood, and let them be exiled and make a cloth cloth, which can be regarded as extraordinarily generous." β
After listening to this, Yang Guang understood Yuwenshu's attitude, and was quite satisfied, it was not in vain that he respected and trusted him so much, and at any time, he would stand from the perspective of sharing the king's worries and be loyal.
"But is there any way to make it self-judged, so as not to gossip about the DPRK and China." Yang Guang also had his considerations, and he didn't want to make a big move because of a proverb and slaughter a leading figure of the gate valve, which was easy to arouse the panic of the people in the imperial court.
Imperial Doctor Pei Yun said: "It's better for the ministers and others to come forward and reveal some information to him, so that he can dismiss himself and cut himself at home to keep his family safe, if he refuses, he can only send someone to investigate and deal with his crimes, but in that case, Li Min, Li Shanheng and others, who are close to him, are afraid that they must be vigilant, lest they take risks and be killed if they are not willing to lead the neck." β
All the ministers feel that it makes sense, once Li Hun does not obey, he will have to use other means, Li Hun has always been close to Li Min, this Li Min attacked the Duke of Guangzong, and his wife was Yuwen Eying, the daughter of Princess Yang Lihua of Leping, and she was also a relative of the emperor, according to her generation, Li Min was Yang Guang's niece and son-in-law.
But the king's heart is like a heavenly power, the most unpredictable, the royal family's family affection is thin, Yang Guang did not consider this relationship at all, he only knew that if anyone was involved in the proverbs and signs that subverted the imperial power of the Yang family, he would be punished and prevented.
