Chapter 12: The Fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (3)
Yang Jian knew about it as soon as he got home, he was very flustered, and he was also waiting for a result. It wasn't until Dugu Jialuo came back safely that he knew that this level was over, but the signal that the emperor was going to kill the empress was sent, indicating that the emperor was very dissatisfied with Yang Jian, and he also knew that this was just an appetizer, and Yu Wenyun's real target was him Yang Jian. He didn't know what method Yu Wenyun would use to test himself, or deal with himself, but he was ready to face anything until that day came.
Not long after, Yu Wenyun summoned Yang Jian into the palace, and told the eunuch who passed the decree that Yang Jian must be allowed to enter the palace, and the eunuch took the holy decree and went to Yang's house. Yu Wenyun began to arrange in the palace, he ambushed many guards in the place where he was going to meet Yang Jian, and also told the left and right guards that as long as this Yang Jian looked a little flustered, he was going to rebel and kill him immediately. After receiving the holy decree, Yang Jian tidied up his clothes as usual and got up in a sedan chair to enter the palace. He thought a lot on the sedan chair, he knew what he was about to face, although the king wanted the minister to die, and the minister had to die, but he didn't want to die, but now he didn't have any way to fight against Yuwenyun. Yu Wenyong collected all the rights in the country before he died, and Yu Wenyun also accepted his father's inheritance in full. Don't look at Yu Wenyun as a faint monarch, but he is really a faint monarch with all the power in his hands, so Yang Jian didn't dare to do anything, so he could only do as usual. When he came to the palace, he noticed that the atmosphere in the palace was different, but Yang Jian had the best political education, and he was a serious person who did not smile. So, in the face of Yu Wenyun's questioning, Yang Jian did not show any panicked look, even if Yu Wenyun asked him that now you Yang Jian alone has prestige in the court, and your family is Shangzhu State, you rebelled against such a direct question, but Yang Jian never panicked, and kept saying that everything he had was given by the Yuwen family, and he must do his best for the Yuwen family. Yu Wenyun saw that Yang Jian was really not panicked at all, so he thought about it and let Yang Jian go back, although he wanted to kill Yang Jian, but since the temptation was unsuccessful, and Yang Jian has always been the image of a good man, Yu Wenyun thought about it and let him go back.
After going back, Yang Jian's back was soaked, he was a serious Guanlong nobleman, with the characteristics of a Guanlong nobleman: out is a general, and when he enters, he is a civil servant in the court, but he is also a general who leads the troops, and he nominally controls the power of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so when he entered the palace, he had already noticed that someone was ambushing. Although this time it was over, his sense of crisis was heavier, and he knew that it was not enough for him to keep a low profile, so he began to think of other ways.
Although Yang Jian had a relationship with Zheng Yi and Liu Fang before (Yang Jian and Zheng Yi were classmates), he did not have a deep friendship, because he himself was a very popular minister, and he did not feel that he needed to please Zheng Yi and Liu Fang. But after this incident, he realized that his so-called status was not worth mentioning in front of the emperor, and it was not as stable as Zheng Yi and Liu Fang's status, so he began to give Zheng Yi gifts to Liu Fang frantically. In addition, Zheng Yi and Liu Fang also know that although they are favored, they have no power after all, and they also need backers, plus Zheng Yi is Yang Jian's old classmate, and both parties are interested in making friends, so they can't be more familiar with each other. Since the relationship is so good, and they also know what happened before, and they are not stupid, they also know what Yang Jian wants to do for himself when he gives him a gift. So he said good things to Yang Jian in front of Yu Wenyun, and Yu Wenyun heard that his two most trusted subordinates said good things to Yang Jian, so the murderous intent went down like this.
But the companion is like a tiger, he doesn't know if Yu Wenyun will kill himself directly next time he goes crazy, so he wants to stay away from the emperor, the farther away the better. When he told Zheng Yi, Zheng Yi said that it was not a matter, he told Yang Jian that Yu Wenyun had privately said to them that he was ready to crusade against Nan Chen, but the position of the coach had not yet been decided, and the emperor was still thinking about it, since you want to stay away from the emperor, then this position is the most suitable for you, and you can make meritorious contributions and stay away from the imperial court, killing two birds with one stone. Yang Jian was very happy when he heard this, and secretly thought that the gift he gave was not in vain, so he said to Zheng Yi, "This is the best". When Zheng Yi asked Yuwenyun who was the right commander the next day, Zheng Yi said that Yang Jiande was highly respected and held the power of soldiers and horses, so he could be the commander-in-chief. Yu Wenyun thought about it, Wang Liang Yuwen Xiaobo and these people are all dead, and it is true that only Yang Jian can be suppressed, so he issued an order to appoint Yang Jian as the governor of Yangzhou, and also to kill the commander of Chen, and let Yang Jian prepare everything and set off as soon as possible. Yang Jian was very happy to receive the holy decree, so he began to prepare for departure at home.
At this time, Yang Jian was still a reluctant worker, even though he was almost killed by Yu Wenyun, but he was still thinking about how to save his life. But he didn't think about rebelling against the Yuwen family until a piece of news came. This news is that Yuwen Yong is ill, and he will not go to the early dynasty for the time being, and he will deal with it after he is sick, but Yang Jian, who is the Shangzhu Kingdom, got another news, this news may be from Yang Lihua, or it may be from the spies planted in the palace by the Yang family, this news is very short, but it is as heavy as a thousand pounds, Yang Jian took this piece of paper and began to be silent, and the paper was also put on the table by him, Dugu Jialuo came over and saw seven words written on the paper: Yuwen Yun is seriously ill and will die.
At this time, Yang Jian was silent, he was thinking about a question, to go or not to go? If you go, stay away from the political whirlpool, nothing will affect him, and after he comes back, he will still be a minister of Zhuguo, but he has lost the possibility of becoming a minister, and he can only be a courtier of the Yuwen family forever. If he doesn't leave, he is the most central group of people, and in the absence of the rest of the Yuwen family and other powerful figures are killed by Yuwen Yun, he is the most likely to become the next Yuwen Hu as the minister of the real power. So, after thinking about it, Yang Jian made a decision, he said to the outside world that he was sick and had a foot disease and could not go on the expedition. This decision shows that Yang Jian has made a choice, and he has chosen the second path and become a minister. He didn't want to be frightened because of the emperor's words, he didn't want to be just a courtier, and from this time on, Yang Jian finally began to transform from a worker to an entrepreneur.
Starting from the next chapter, I will bring you how Yang Jian succeeded in stealing the country step by step.
