The fourth volume of the opening of the emperor's prosperous era Chapter 76 Yang Jian's collapse

After the dawn, the Praetorian Guards around each square gradually withdrew, the four doors of each square were opened, and the people of the capital had the courage to walk out of their homes, although the martial law of the Praetorian Guards a few days ago had an impact on the people, but the ordinary people had to work as they should, and those who should have done small business had to do small business.

Even the poorest families in the capital will have savings, but they don't have the habit of sitting and eating empty, the Great Sui has been stable for more than 20 years, although the shouting and killing last night was terrifying, but the good military discipline of the Praetorian Guards and the separate squares of the capital played a role in protecting the residents, basically as long as they didn't happen to live near the family that the Praetorian Guards copied and taken, the people were not affected much.

Contrary to the calmness of the people, the hundred officials in the capital were in a state of panic, and it was impossible for the hundred officials not to hear such a big movement last night, but when they were about to send someone out to investigate, the gate of their house had been sealed by the Praetorian Guards who enforced martial law, even if someone could sneak out, they were also arrested by the Praetorian Guards patrolling the streets, and they could not deliver the news.

There is no doubt that this is a civil strife, who will win in the end, and who will fall in this civil strife?

Since the establishment of the Great Sui, the capital has been in a stable state, but in the hearts of the older generation, there is also a shadow of turmoil in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there are two emperors who died in the hands of the Northern Zhou Dynasty minister Yuwen Hu, and Yu Wen Hu himself finally died at the hands of the third emperor he personally selected, during this period, each time will be implicated in many families, this time which families will be implicated?

Despite the fear of danger, most of the courtiers in the Taiji Hall still arrived early, and they either exchanged their ears, listened carefully, or went to the corner alone, and many of them had bad faces. Some people were mixed with a lot of excitement, and when they arrived here, most of the officials had already received some news that the prince was ambushed on the way to Renshou Palace the day before yesterday, and last night it was the Praetorian Guards who arrested those rebels who participated in the ambush of the prince.

Who are those rebels, how many are there, and who will be arrested today except those who were arrested last night. It is undoubtedly a matter of concern to the officials, and even many people remembered that they had followed Niu Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Kai, and others yesterday to ask King Wei about martial law, and they couldn't help but be afraid.

What many people want to find most is Zuo Servant shooting Su Wei and Wei Wang Yang Shuang, after all, only the news from their mouths is the most reliable, but unfortunately Yang Shuang and Su Wei did not come at all, and even Shangshu Zuo Cheng Pei Ju did not have a figure.

A eunuch's shrill voice came: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" ”

The hundreds of officials in the Taiji Hall were suddenly dumbfounded, and they all looked to the side of the main hall, and Yang Yong walked into the main hall under the crowd of Su Wei and the subordinates of the East Palace. Except for the footsteps of the prince and his party, the Taiji Hall was so quiet that even the needles could be heard falling on the ground, until Yang Yong sat down in his place. There was a voice in the hall again.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The ministers hurriedly saluted in Yang Yong's direction.

"Everyone, please be courteous!"

This simple reply made the hundred officials stunned, how long has the prince not called the hundred officials Aiqing, and after half a ring, everyone replied unevenly: "Thank you prince!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the Praetorian Guards were dispatched last night, what happened, can Your Highness give an explanation to the hundred officials?" Wang Shao first stood up and asked, Wang Shao is over seventy years old, and there are few people in terms of character and merit, and he has a mentor-apprentice friendship with Yang Guang. It's just that his temper is stinky and hard, although Yang Guang has the intention of seizing the throne, he never dares to reveal it in front of Wang Shao, and he is also upright after serving as a Nayan, which is deeply appreciated by Yang Jian, and only he has the courage to directly question the prince.

"Bang." There was a loud bang. Yang Yong slapped heavily on the chair he was sitting on before saying: "Explain, of course this palace has an explanation, this palace asks you, if this palace is attacked, what kind of big crime is this?" ”

Wang Shao's face did not change: "Conspiracy is a big crime." ”

"It is good to know the great sin of treason. Last night, the Praetorian Guard was dispatched to arrest such those who had committed the great crime of treason. ”

Niu Hong, the secretary of the ministry, stood up: "Prince." I wonder how many people are involved in the rebellion? ”

Yang Yong nodded slightly to Lu Mulin, and Lu Mulin stood up. Reading the list of people arrested last night, the ministers were shocked to hear it, and last night alone, the Praetorian Guards confiscated a Shangzhu State, three Praetorian Guard generals, a Shangshu Shangshu, a Shangshu Zuocheng, a Jingzhaoyin, several state assassins, and a series of hussars, chariot generals, and other ministers' mansions.

Oh my God, this is just a night's work, I don't know how many people will be involved in the future, the hundred officials in the palace were dizzy when they heard it, especially when they heard that Shangshu Zuocheng Pei Ju's Difu was also raided by the Praetorian Guards, many colleagues looked at the Pei officials with strange eyes, didn't the Pei family always get close to the prince, why was it also involved?

The faces of more than ten Pei officials were blue and white for a while, and they themselves did not expect that Pei Ju would be involved, and they were even more uneasy in their hearts whether the prince would take other Pei officials to open the knife, and they couldn't help but sweat coldly. A group of Pei officials knelt down and said, "Prince, I didn't know that Pei Ju was involved, we are guilty, please deal with it." ”

At this time, of course, the sooner they picked it up, the better, and it was not without the intention of testing the prince's mind.

Yang Yong said lightly: "Get up, Pei Ju's matter has nothing to do with you, so what's the crime?" ”

Although Pei Ju's betrayal did not cause much loss to the East Palace, Yang Yong was still extremely angry about Pei Ju's betrayal, and he had no good impression of other Pei officials, if he didn't want to put everyone in danger, how could he let go of these Pei officials in front of him so easily.

After being pardoned by the crown prince himself, the Pei officials all showed a hint of relief on their faces: "Thank you, Your Highness!" He kowtowed three times before getting up, which is already the etiquette of worship.

"Sycophants." Many officials muttered quietly in their hearts, remembering that many of the people arrested last night were also close to them, and they became uneasy.

"May I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, where are those people now, and what does His Highness plan to do with them?" Niu Hong asked.

"Well, they've been held in the Praetorian Guard barracks, what to do? This palace needs to ask my father, and then make a decision after the trial by the criminal department, I don't know what this palace answers, what do you think Aiqing? ”

Wang Shao, Niu Hong and the others glanced at each other, the prince's handling can be described as leaky, they can't say anything, of course, they can accuse the prince of having no right to use the Praetorian Guard, let alone arresting people casually, but in this way, it is equivalent to directly annoying the prince, these people ambushed the prince, can't the prince fight back?

In this way, they will easily be regarded as accomplices of these people, even if Wang Shao, Niu Hong and others have nothing to fear, they will not do such a desperate thing.

"Your Highness handles it like this, and we have no objection." The hundred officials bowed down together, if they knew that Yuwenshu, Yuwenmi, Guo Yan and others had all died last night, they would definitely not say that they had no objections.

appeased the ministers, Yang Yong did not set off to Renshou Palace, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go to Renshou Palace now, there is still a big mess in the capital waiting for Yang Yong to deal with the aftermath, the city defense army must be reorganized, the general of the Praetorian Guard who has lost the general of the three guards needs to be transferred, and the people who have a close relationship with the original general must be imprisoned......

In Renshou Palace, Yang Jian was already in a dying state, and the Qin who was sent out to inform the prince did not return for several days, and even the news of the capital was cut off, Yuan Yan, Liu Shu and others were very worried, I don't know what happened, but Yang Yue, Wang Shao, and Feng Deyi were ghosts. I wonder how their ambush of the prince went?

It's a pity that those private soldiers who failed that day only cared about fleeing for their lives, and none of them thought of reporting to Yang Yue and others.

A fast horse galloped from the official road outside the Renshou Palace, checked the sign at the entrance of the palace, and drove directly into the Renshou Palace.

This secret box is used to convey urgent news, and it must be opened by the emperor himself, and when he heard that it was from the crown prince, Liu Shu certainly did not dare to slack off.

Yang Jian was lying on the bed, his face was like a withered tree, and when he saw Liu Shu coming in, Yang Jian asked half-hopefully, half-worriedly: "Prince, hasn't the prince come yet?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the prince has come over." Liu Shu hurriedly replied.

"Concerto?" Yang Jian was greatly stunned, he obviously sent someone to summon the prince over, could it be that the prince dared to resist and disobey when he saw that he was seriously ill, Yang Jian was annoyed in his heart: "Quick, give me the concert." ”

"Wechen obeys." Liu Shu handed over the secret box to the emperor, and he was also nervous in his heart, not knowing what the prince wrote, and whether it would anger the emperor?

Yang Jian opened the secret box with a trembling hand, took out the music inside, looked at it for a while, the expression on his face changed, and finally suddenly laughed: "Okay, it's good to kill, it's good to kill, it's not my son." ”

Yang Jian's laughter grew higher and higher, not at all like a patient, and after a moment, his voice suddenly stopped, and then he tilted his head, as if he was asleep.

The people next to her all felt that something was wrong, and Mrs. Xuanhua hurriedly reached out to Yang Jian's nose, and there was no more breath in the emperor's nostrils.

In late August of the third year of Renshou, Emperor Wen collapsed.
