Chapter 47: Dancing on the Tip of the Knife

Yang Jian's mood was very solemn, he was appointed as an assistant on the second day of the continuous blows, originally he thought that the third brother Yang Hui had a brother with him, so he sent his second son Yang Ying to call him to discuss the matter, but he didn't expect Yang Hui to refuse to come, but left a cold sentence: "I'm afraid that the Duke of Suiguo can't be saved, and he still wants to do something to exterminate the clan." ”

Yang Jian suddenly died of this third brother, as for the second brother, after tearing his face with Wei Chi's family, Yang Erlang, with the collusion of his wife, regarded Yang Jian as an enemy, and just died of illness a few days ago, fortunately, there is also a nephew Yang Xiong has become an adult, and Yang Xiong, on the contrary of his father, has always respected him as an uncle, but is willing to help him, losing this second brother, Yang Jian doesn't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

In addition to Yang Xiong, there is also a Wulang in the Yang family who is loyal to his eldest brother, and after he returned to the palace, he immediately gave three instructions: first, the secret is not mourned; 2. Martial law, there is no entry and exit in the inner palace, and no passage is allowed in the outer city without a road; 3. The fifth brother Yang Shuang was promoted to Sima Shang's doctor, assisting Dou Rongding in garrisoning the Beijing Division, and his nephew Yang Xiong was the deputy commander of the forbidden army, and was in charge of the forbidden army together with Yu Zhi.

It's just that the second blow came soon, and Yuan Zhou reported that his third brother and daughter-in-law, Princess Shunyang, had sent five fast horses out of the capital, and reported to the various powerful figures in front of the front and the four imperial uncles outside the capital.

Yang Jian went back to his house, met Yuan Harmony on the way, and poured a basin of cold water on him, Yuan Harmony not only congratulated Yang Jian for being the prime minister, but said: "Without party aid, it is like an earthen wall standing in a flood, and it is in great danger." ”

Yuan Harmony is his old classmate, and the relationship has always been very close, even after being hit, thinking of the powerful forces of all parties in the Great Zhou against him, Yang Jian only felt haggard, and almost wanted to provoke him.

Yang Shuang rushed into the door and shouted, "Big brother, good news, good news." ”

Yang Shuang was ordered to envelop Li Delin and Gao Gong, and now that he is back, Yang Jian suddenly perked up: "How is it?" ”

"Gao Gong said that he was willing to be driven, and if something big didn't happen, he would not quit the clan, and Li Delin said that he would be taken care of and should sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman."

"Okay, okay, invite them to meet you quickly." Although the officials of these two people are not big, they are knowledgeable and have a high reputation, and with their effects, they are far better than Yang Hui and Yuan Harmony.

The two were soon ordered to arrive, Yang Jian appointed Gao Gong as the secretary of the Prime Minister's Mansion to oversee the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, while Li Delin was appointed by Yang Jian as a subordinate of the government to plan external affairs.

With Gao Gong and Li Delin, Yang Jian suddenly became like a fish in water, Yang Jian's biggest advantage is to obtain the emperor's edict, there is a name for righteousness, but this name of righteousness is not without threats, the Great Zhou Dynasty is still short, the first three emperors are all brothers and brothers, such as today's young son, those uncles of Emperor Tianyuan, cousins and cousins have an excuse to establish themselves as emperors, if it is the collusion between King Fan and the local generals, you can immediately re-establish the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Wang Zhao can be left alone in the capital for the time being, and the other four kings can be worried, Yang Jian adopted Li Delin's strategy, sent an envoy to recall the four kings in the name of the marriage of the princess of Qianjin, and must arrive before the news of Emperor Tianyuan's funeral arrives, as long as the four kings are on the road, they will not be able to get the news and regret it.

In order not to make the four kings suspicious, Yang Jian deliberately found four young people to serve as envoys, Changsun Sheng, Cui Peng, Li Hun, Du Qingxin, Changsun Sheng needless to say, brave and strategic, Cui Peng and Changsun Sheng are the same age, resolute, and strategic, it is the guards who instructed the Dugu clan to kneel and plead in front of the palace, Li Hun and Du Qingxin, both of whom are eloquent, and are the relatives of Li Mu and Wei Shikang, and use them to entrap Li Mu and Wei Shikang.

Three days later, Yang Jian began to mourn for Emperor Xuan, and Emperor Jing of Zhou, who was eight years old at the time, moved into Tiantai Palace, respecting the Empress Dowager Ashina as the Empress Dowager, Yang Lihua as the Empress Dowager, and Emperor Jing's biological mother as the Empress Dowager, and Chen Yueyi, Yuan Le Shang, and Yu Chi Fanchi three people, then entered the nunnery to lead the practice.

In order to temporarily envelop the various kings of the Great Zhou, Emperor Jing's second uncle Han Wang Zan was named the Shangzhu State and the Right Prime Minister, the third uncle Qin Wang Zhen was the Shangzhu State, and Yang Jian was the fake Huang Cheng Left Prime Minister, who always knew the affairs of Chinese and foreign soldiers and horses.

This worship is completely designed by Gao Gong and Li Delin, Yuwen has sixteen princes, and there are many people who can fight habitually and have both civil and military skills, and they specifically pick Yuwen Zan and Yuwen Zhen two teenagers to come out and take up their posts, which is naturally a disguise, they are not only young, but also stupid as a pig, can't, Emperor Wu will not know that the prince is not a weapon, or there is no other prince, but the remaining two sons are even more unsuccessful, and now they are selected, but in order to accompany Yang Jian, the two green leaves of the red flower.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers went out of the Tiantai Palace, but saw the solemn list of the honor guards of the Prime Minister Zuo in the court, which was clearly to send Yang Jian to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the hundred officials were stunned on the spot, whether to go to the Emperor's Tiantai Palace or the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, and chose the wrong step, not only missed their own future, but also lost their lives.

Everyone suddenly whispered, Yang Jian glanced at Li Delin, wanting him to come out and persuade, but Li Delin shook his head slightly, some of the people present were highly respectful, and some of them were famous in all directions, all of them were ministers who would tremble when they stomped on the capital, Li Delin was just a doctor before, how could he be qualified to persuade.

Seeing this, Yang Jian's guard captain and Siwu Sergeant Lu Ben commanded the soldiers to gather the Manchu ministers together, and said loudly: "Go!" Those who want to be rich and noble will follow me to the East Palace. ”

If Lu Ben's attitude was normal, anyone would accuse him of being rude, but at this time, everyone ate this set, whether everyone wanted it or not, they were thinking in their hearts: "Hmph, if Pu Liurujian has an accident in the future, we will endure the humiliation under the pressure of his guards, but we don't really support him." ”

The East Palace is the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was Emperor Wu who built the prince Yu Wenyun, but the palace had just been completed, and Emperor Wu returned to the west. Yu Wenyun took over the throne of God, so he naturally did not live in the East Palace, but lived directly in the Imperial Palace (later renamed Tiantai), and gave the East Palace to his son Yu Wenxian to live. A year later, Emperor Xuan passed the throne to Yuwen Xian, and renamed the East Palace as Zhengyang Palace, so that the little emperor could live, but in another year, Emperor Xuan also returned to the west, and the little emperor Yu Wenxian hurriedly entered the Tiantai official, and the Zhengyang Palace was vacated, which happened to become Yang Jian's prime minister's mansion.

At the gate of the palace, the royal guards of Zhengyang Palace stopped them, how could the courtiers enter the imperial palace, isn't it the other way around, Lu Ben was furious, pushed the guards who were blocking the way, and directly put the sword on the neck of the leader of the guards, as a result, a group of guards immediately scattered, Yang Jian smoothly entered the East Palace, followed by the mighty hundred officials.

Sitting on the bed in the main hall, the congratulatory words, eulogies, and admonitions of the hundred officials suddenly surged like a tide, Yang Jian's expression was calm, and he knew very well in his heart that there was no way back now, either to destroy the clan or to become the emperor.

In order to show the virtue of the new emperor, Yang Jian ordered the first great prime minister's order to implement a national amnesty, and ordered to stop the Luoyang Palace under construction, Luoyang Palace began to be built when the Tianyuan Emperor ascended to the pole, which lasted two years and was not completed, and millions of people were used, and the county soldiers of various states had to be transferred to 45 days of conscription every year, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and hundreds of people died of exhaustion every day. Even the people have one less heavy tax.

After the hundred officials retreated, the Prime Minister's Mansion held a small meeting, and the participants were all young and middle-aged generals leading the school: Yu Wenshu, Yu Qingze, Han Baohu, He Ruobi, Yuan Guan, Yuan Yu, and Yuan Harmony. Yuan Xiaoju, Changsun Chi, Changsun Hong, Changsun Ping, Lu Zhi, Wang Yi, Dou Rongding, Wang Shiji, Yang Su, Yang Xiong, Li Xun, Li Che and dozens of others

They are all people that Yang Jian needs to be particularly encircled, these people are all elite children of various families, and if they enclose these people, they will also envelop the families behind these people.

Looking at these dozens of generals, Yang Jian's face was solemn: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the alternation of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the bloody war of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the confrontation between the North and the South, and the great chaos has been four hundred years......

Speaking of this, Yang Jian couldn't help but sigh, everyone thought it was true, in the past four hundred years, the power of the Han people first retreated, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qian, Qiang, Di tribes took advantage of the situation, and the Hu people first gained the upper hand, and regarded the Han people as pigs and dogs, slaves, and two-legged sheep that could be boiled and eaten. But under the Jedi counterattack of the Han Ran Min, millions of Hu people also fell to the Han counterattack.

Although Ran Min later failed, the Xianbei people finally won the victory, but a large number of Hu people were killed, the decline of the Hu people was inevitable, after the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Xianbei people had to rely on a large number of Han people to maintain their rule, and the status of the Han people gradually increased, no longer in the same column as pigs and dogs. Today's Great Zhou, is Xianbei and the Han people with the same rule, Xianbei people will marry the princess to the outstanding generals of the Han people, to the Han people surname, on the other hand, the Xianbei people but their own sinicization, the former Wei royal family extension changed the surname Yuan, the eldest grandson these are more like the Han name, to the Tianyuan Emperor, even the clothes have been restored to the Wei and Jin dynasties,

Now half of the people here are Han people, half of them are Xianbei people, and they are deeply touched by Yang Jian's words, with the division of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty, the two sides have attacked each other, whether it is the Han people or the Xianbei people, there are countless children of each family who died on the battlefield.

Yang Jian's voice said loudly: "This situation of division and conquest should be over, China should return to the track of reunification, this is not only the will of heaven, but also the voice of thousands of households, my Emperor Wu of the Heavenly Heart, under the public opinion, two years of peace, to lay a firm foundation for the unification of Kyushu, now the Southern Dynasty is still there, you have a strategic civil and military balance, it is really the essence of our Korean army, the task of recovering Jiangnan and unifying China is in front of you, the history of four hundred years will end in your hands, since the Three Kingdoms, there will be many like cowsBut who can unify China, welcome the peaceful and prosperous era, establish immortal achievements, and become immortal names, I would like to ask you here today: whether there is such ambition. ”

Everyone applauded when they heard it, the young people were all enthusiastic, who didn't want to make a name for themselves, and it would be passed down through the ages, Yang Jian's words hit their hearts.

A smile appeared on Yang Jian's face: "Very good, everyone has such ambitions, they are willing to accumulate grain and grass for you, prepare cars and build ships, and let you create heroic achievements, this time, maybe a few months, or a few years, why is there a few years, now the emperor is young, there are many people in the Great Zhou who are too selfish, in order to get more power, they may not hesitate to rebel against the country and provoke wars, if there are such people, you should know what to do, that is, to resolutely fight the selfishness of those people, what do you think?" ”

"The prime minister is far-sighted, and we will never live up to the prime minister's trust." Everyone replied in unison.

Yang Jian was secretly proud in his heart, whether it was Wei Chi Yuan, or Sima Xiaonan and other military commanders, or the kings provoked wars, he could be charged with destroying the unity of Kyushu and obstructing everyone's meritorious service.

In the former East Palace, now in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Jian is busy dealing with all kinds of political affairs, and Li Delin and Gao Gong next to him make suggestions from time to time, and sometimes they will argue fiercely with Yang Jian.

Yang Xiong walked in: "Prime Minister, I received a messenger, the Xuanlong Army will return to Beijing tomorrow." ”

Yang Jian's spirits were lifted, these days he seemed to be dancing on the tip of a knife, and he had to look forward and backward with every step, for fear of causing turmoil in the whole country, and now he finally heard a good news: "Pass my order, and all the officials will go to the city gate tomorrow to greet them." ”

Yang Xiong hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

Li Delin stroked his beard and smiled: "Prime Minister, this time the Xuanlong Army defeated the Turks and returned, I think not only should hundreds of officials greet them, but also organize the people to welcome them together, and let them know that if there is no Xuanlong Army to come forward, Chang'an may have suffered a Turkic military disaster." ”
