After sending Zheng Yi away, Yang Jian sat in the study in a daze, what Zheng Yi said just now shocked him so much that he almost couldn't come back to his senses, Dugu walked in from outside: "Then Luo Ting, what happened, why is your face so ugly?" ”

Although Yang Jian will discuss with Dugu no matter how big or small, Dugu has a good tradition, that is, when a colleague comes to visit Yang Jian, if he talks about any confidential matter, Dugu will take the initiative to avoid it, so that others have no scruples, and Yang Jian has a lot of face in front of his colleagues.

Seeing Dugu's question, Yang Jian did not hide it, and said with a wry smile: "Just now Zheng Yi told me that the emperor had suddenly fainted a few times in the harem, and the imperial doctor said that the emperor's longevity would be half a year to a year at most. ”

Dugu was taken aback, the emperor had not been on the throne for less than two years, and he was only twenty-two years old, who would have thought that his body would collapse so quickly, Dugu asked in disbelief: "Could it be a mistake?" ”

"No, Zheng Yi has asked two imperial doctors in a row, these two imperial doctors are both skilled doctors, I think if that's the case, the imperial doctor said that half a year is probably still lenient."

Dugu suddenly understood, no wonder her husband was so nervous, once Emperor Tianyuan died, the young emperor was only eight years old, and the power of the clan that had been suppressed by the emperor before would definitely be able to raise its head, Yang Jian was a big former suspect and a relative, although Yang Jian had done it secretly in the past two years, and he did not suppress the clan on the surface, but it was about the power struggle, unless the husband was willing to take the initiative to retreat, otherwise it would be life and death, her father Dugu Xin was an obvious example, and was forced to eat poison by Yuwen Hu to save the Dugu family.

Dugu became serious: "Who else knows about this matter, especially if the five queens know?" ”

The emperor has five empresses, and once the matter is leaked, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty will immediately be turbulent, and after losing the opportunity, the Suiguo Mansion will not have an advantage, and it will be difficult to win in the next round of power struggle.

Yang Jian's face showed a look of relief: "They only know about the emperor's fainting, they just think that the emperor is temporarily overworked, this point Zheng Yi did very secretly, the imperial doctor's diagnosis is unknown to no one except him, and he was extinguished in time, so it should not be leaked." ”

Yang Jian hesitated again: "If the news of the emperor's fainting spreads, someone will inevitably suspect the news that the two imperial doctors diagnosed by the emperor have died one after another." ”

Dugu breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry about this, even if someone suspects that the emperor is not in good health, they will not know that the emperor's longevity will be so short, but Lihua's child is too careless, and he will not report such a major event to the family, if it is not for Zheng Yi, I am afraid that once the emperor is really gone, we will be passive." ”

Yang Jian suddenly brightened: "Lihua has done a good job, since Lihua is like this, presumably the other queens are the same, and it can be done." ”

Just when Yang Jian and Zheng Yi were calculating the matter behind the emperor together, they didn't expect to be calculated by others immediately, and that night, Emperor Tianyuan suddenly woke up in the early morning, and when he got up and touched it, his whole body was covered in cold sweat.

Emperor Tianyuan had a nightmare just now, in the dream a big monster was standing next to his bed, trying to swallow him, how could he break it but couldn't break free, this monster had a human face, first the appearance of Qi Wangxian, then Zhao Wangzhao, and finally it was transformed into Pu Liuru Jian.

This dream originated from the dialogue between the emperor and Yu Chi Fanchi before going to bed, and Emperor Tianyuan laughed and said that the Wei Chi family was the leading family in this dynasty, but Wei Chi Fanchi told him that the real number one family in this dynasty was the Pu Liuru family of the Duke of Suiguo.

Emperor Tianyuan didn't believe it, but Wei Chi Fanchi came out the strength of the Puliuru family one by one, with the four brothers of the Duke of the Kingdom, the second general of the chariot, the third attached to the captain of the horse, the doctor of the Ministry of Officials, the general of the old Wuzhu State, and now the eldest son is already the Duke of Boping County, the general of the hussars, and the six sons and five marquis of his father-in-law's family; the son of Li Hu of the Upper Pillar Kingdom; brother-in-law Dou Rongding, Su Wei Gongbo; Brother-in-law Dou Lu Tongzhu General ......, if it is said that the Wei Chi family has three pillars, two pillars, and four county dukes, there are at least a dozen pillar states behind the Pu Liuru family, the general of the pillar country, and the prince of the country.

Emperor Tian Yuan was still smiling at first, but then his face became worse and worse, he originally felt that the strength of the empress's mother's family was a strong guarantee for him to sit firmly on the throne, but the strength was so strong but beyond the scope of his tolerance, the Pu Liuru family really had such great power?

He looked carefully at Yu Chi Fanchi beside him, Yu Chi Fanchi was sleeping Zhengxiang, and the words before going to bed seemed to be just casually, so what she said was true.

Of course, Yu Chi Fanchi would not sleep so dead, she pretended to be asleep and ignored it, the emperor has too many weirdness, there were once a few concubines who suddenly shouted and woke up in the middle of the night, and when they said a few more words, they were beaten to death by the emperor, although she was the queen, the emperor had a little respect, but more than one thing was better than less.

Emperor Tianyuan seems to be nervous when he is suspicious, but he regards the harem as his harbor, and he often believes in the words of the people around him, which is still a problem he developed when he was the prince, and every time he is beaten by his father, he only feels safe when he hides in the arms of women.

Emperor Tianyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, the dream just now was just a false fear or a hint from God, of course it is not a good thing that the power of the Guozhang is too great, eight years ago, it seems that it is not unreasonable for Gao Wei, the queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty, to murder Zuo Prime Minister Hu Luguang, Hu Luguang is also the Guozhang, the past is not forgotten, the teacher of the future, this is the experience of the Han people summed up for thousands of years.

It's just that he must not tell anyone about this, whether Pu Liurujian is loyal to him or not, how can he try to find out? Emperor Tianyuan suddenly had a headache, although he slept in the middle of the night last night, but at this time he had no sleep, and came to the outside of the main hall in his clothes, at this moment the hall was deserted, and the four clusters of nine-light lamps were still bright, and the scene of him and the five queens playing here last night seemed to be vivid.

"Huh! They're all gone? Yu Chi Fan's voice suddenly sounded behind Emperor Tian Yuan.

Emperor Tianyuan was taken aback coldly, and when he heard that it was Wei Chi Fanchi's voice, he relieved himself, and replied disapprenorantly: "It's almost dawn, so naturally they all go to sleep." ”

"The concubines still thought that they were still drinking in the palace, and remembered that Tianzun had also issued a holy decree: no one is allowed to leave, and they have to throw it again! But it turned out to be ......"

Emperor Tian Yuan remembered, last night he and the five queens played the game of five woods, stipulating that whoever won would accompany the emperor to sleep, if the emperor won, then he would choose one person to sleep at random, this kind of game Emperor Tian Yuan often let the five queens play, but the emperor generally only watched from the side when playing, last night he was bent on Yu Chi Fanchi to sleep, so he joined in.

It's just that his luck is not good, the remaining four of the five queens take turns to win, just him and Yu Chi Fanchi do not win, each time after a round, he takes a queen to the back of the palace to upside down, and the rest of the people are not allowed to rest, and then continue to play, after taking seven or eight pills to refresh themselves, the queens saw that the emperor's mind was on Yu Chi Fanchi, and finally let the emperor win, and the emperor finally got his wish and hugged Yu Chi Fanchi into the harem.

Emperor Tianyuan shook his head, he couldn't remember whether he had issued an order not to let the four of them go the last time, and when he saw that Wei Chi Fanchi was halfway there, he hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

Wei Chi Fanchi smiled and said, "It turns out that the emperor is talking about playing. ”

Emperor Tianyuan's heart seemed to be stabbed by a wasp, yes, the holy decree is the holy decree, how can you talk about it! I didn't think about whether I had made a holy decree last time last night, and shouted sharply: "Come on, spread the Tianyuan Great Empress!" ”

Yang Lihua hadn't gotten up yet, and when she heard the eunuch's decree, she hurriedly came to see the driver, and said, "Tianzun is calling, what do you have to say?" ”

Emperor Tian Yuan said abruptly: "Let me ask you, why didn't you wait here?" ”

Yang Lihua was at a loss, the emperor had always respected her, but she didn't know why she was suddenly so angry, and hesitated for a while: "The concubine saw that it was getting late, so she went to rest." ”

"Okay, so you are openly resisting the decree, what crime should you be guilty of!"

Yang Lihua was taken aback: "What decree has Tianzun issued?" Why don't the concubines know? ”

"Last night, Ben Tianzun said that none of them were allowed to leave, and they had to throw again, you are the Great Empress of Tianyuan, the head of the queens, and you are the first to leave, aren't you taking the lead in resisting the decree?"

The emperor suddenly regarded the words between the games as a holy decree, and the life in the harem was sad, Yang Lihua thought about it carefully, and said calmly: "Tianzun once said that he was not allowed to leave, but it was before Sister Fanzhi, and when Tianzun carried Sister Fanchi into the palace, he did not issue a decree again. ”

Emperor Tian Yuan was speechless for a while, but she was even more angry, she still dared to refute her words, isn't this just a clear proof of ignoring the authority of the Son of Heaven: "You are resisting the decree now, and you are still resisting the decree now!" You think that your mother's power is great, so you don't take this Tianzun in your eyes, I ...... I give you death! ”

Yang Lihua never thought that the emperor would suddenly be so ruthless, she had no choice but to stop arguing, and motioned to Yu Chi Fanchi to help intercede, but she didn't expect a trace of shame to flash in Yu Chi Fanchi's eyes, but she turned her head and kept silent.

Among the five queens, although Yu Chi Fanchi was the last queen, Yang Lihua sympathized with her experience, and after Yu Chi Fanchi entered the palace, she comforted her many times, and the relationship between the two was the best, but now Yu Chi Fanchi had no intention of helping, Yang Lihua finally felt a little wrong, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "The concubine is guilty, please forgive Tianzun." ”

Emperor Tianyuan's heart was on fire, and it was not diminished at all because of Yang Lihua's confession, and he left the love of husband and wife for several years behind, he remembered Gao Yang, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Yang, in order to test the loyalty of Zuo Prime Minister Hu Lujin, had personally tried to assassinate Hu Lujin three times, but when he saw that he did not move, he gave up. Emperor Tianyuan felt that this method was really clever, and he could try out the loyalty of his subordinates without thinking about it, and he used it to try Puliu Rujian today, why not?

"Chuan Gong Bo Dou Rong will listen to the order!"

"The minister is here!" Dou Rongding entered the hall in response.

"Go, pass Yang Jian into the palace!"

"Command!"

After Dou Rongding went out, Emperor Tianyuan shouted again: "Pass on to wisdom." ”

As soon as Yu Zhi went to the palace, Emperor Tianyuan immediately ordered: "The guards are waiting, the sword is out of the box, the sword is out of the sheath, and as soon as Yang Jian comes, he will ......" Emperor Tianyuan wanted to say, "Just cut him!" After thinking about it, whether Pu Liurujian was loyal or not, he had to try, and changed his words, "It depends on his look, if his expression changes, cut him." ”

At this time, the sky was just slightly bright, Changsun Sheng happened to be on duty, he saw what happened just now, and his heart was suddenly anxious, Yang Tian was his sworn brother, if something happened to the Duke of Suiguo, how would he face Yang Tian?

It's just that as a palace guard, he can't leave his post without permission, let alone ask someone to send a message, fortunately, Zheng Yi came early this time, he knew that Zheng Yi and Suiguo were on good luck, and hurriedly told Zheng Yi what happened in the palace.

Zheng Yi was almost so frightened that he lost half of his soul, and immediately sent his cronies to report to Yang Jian. Yang Jian was not only his classmate when he was young, but also his unique Olympic aid in the future. If Yang Jian falls, he will not have a good time in the future, which is equivalent to being a grasshopper on the same rope as Yang Jian.

After sending his cronies, Zheng Yi hurriedly rushed to the middle palace, and when he saw the tense guards, Zheng Yi found that the situation was more serious than he estimated, but he could only stand respectfully behind Emperor Tianyuan, Zheng Yi knew Emperor Tianyuan's temper, although sometimes Emperor Tianyuan listened to him, but once the emperor made up his mind, if he persuaded him, he would be able to get back, maybe even he would get in.

When Yang Jian got the news sent by Zheng Yi, he was suddenly like a bolt from the blue, a few days ago he and Zheng Yi discussed with Zheng Yi about the aftermath of Emperor Tianyuan's death, but he didn't expect that now it would be his turn to die first.

Yang Jian was absolutely unwilling to die first when his great cause was coming, he was thinking nervously, while thinking back to the thrilling journey he had traveled over the years, when Emperor Wu, King Qi, Yuwen Xiaobo, Wang Liang and others all wanted to put him to death, and said in front of the emperor that he had the appearance of the Son of Heaven, but he still did not die, but cut them off one by one by himself by the hand of Emperor Tianyuan.

At that time, these people were either close ministers of the Son of Heaven, or close relatives of the emperor, how did they do it, yes, on the one hand, they bribed Xiangshi, let Xiangshi say that they could only be generals, and then escaped with Gongyun and the emperor's own ambitions, but now it is the emperor who wants to kill himself, what should I do?
