Volume IV, Chapter 77 of the Emperor's Prosperity
The chapter fell from Yang Jian's hand, Liu Shu hurriedly picked it up, and after a rough look, his face changed greatly, in the chapter, the prince said that he was ambushed, and then said in detail the subsequent disposition, the prince was attacked, it was undoubtedly a major case of rebellion, but the prince first mobilized the Janissaries, and then killed the main people involved in the ambush cleanly, strictly speaking, the prince was also a rebellion, but the prince not only did it, but also said it in the chapter without any scruples.
What does this mean, this means that the prince has the intention of openly forcing the palace, if the emperor is healthy, he can only abdicate and delegate power, and really recuperate for the rest of his life, otherwise it will be a battle between father and son.
Judging from this recital, the prince is probably clear about the emperor's illness in Renshou Palace, if it is from the perspective of filial piety, there is no need for the prince to say so bluntly in the recital, but the prince just said, knowing that the emperor has little time, but he refuses to leave the affairs of the capital to rush to see his father, this is a great unfilial piety, on the other hand, this is also a great filial piety, the emperor is terminally ill, even if the prince comes from the capital, it will be useless, it is better to inform the emperor in advance of what he has done, so that Yang Jian can leave with confidence.
For a dying emperor, of course, the most concerned is whether his country can be passed on, the prince's governance talent has long been proven, the only thing lacking is the ruthlessness of the emperor, now three generals, a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a Jing Zhaoyin and many other officials are enough to show that the prince is already a qualified emperor, Yang Jian can leave with confidence.
"Come on, immediately arrest the three traitors Yang Yue, Wang Shao, and Feng Deyi!" After reading the recital, Liu Shu ordered without hesitation. If Yang Jian was not dead, of course Liu Shu would not dare to make a decision indiscriminately, but now that the emperor has died, how to choose, of course Liu Shu will not make a mistake.
Everyone was still shocked by the emperor's death, and suddenly heard that Liu Shu was going to arrest the three closest people to the emperor. They were all taken aback, and Yang Yue jumped up even more: "Liu Shu, you want to deal with us just after the emperor left, don't you even want to let go of Xuanhua and Ronghua, you are really inferior to a beast." ”
Chen Xuanhua and Cai Ronghua were crying beside them, and when they heard Yang Yue's words, their faces were also pale, although Yang Jian was old, he could protect them when he was alive. gave them countless glory and wealth, and now that the emperor has just left, are they going to fall into the hands of rebellious ministers and thieves?
Liu Shu sneered: "Manager Yang, you are you, and the two ladies are the two ladies, don't try to pull the two ladies in." ”
Yang Yue's face was ugly, from the time Liu Shu came in with the prince's secret box, he knew that the ambush of the prince must have failed, Wang Shao and Feng Deyi were treacherous and had sneaked out. At this time, I don't know if I have left Renshou Palace, but he is by the emperor's side, and there is no chance to go out. What's more, even if there is a chance, Yang Yue may not be willing to go out, he is a nunnery, even if he goes out, what is the use?
"Liu Qing's family, what's going on?" Chen Xuanhua asked with tears on his face.
"Madame forgives, Yang Yue participated in the case of rebellion against the prince, and it was the prince's intention to arrest Yang Yue, and the emperor did not object."
Yuan Yan next to him moved his mouth, but he still didn't speak, and now that the emperor is dead, it is the meaning of the prince. That is the intention of the new monarch, who dares to object, Yang Yue was successfully escorted down by the guards who came up, but the guards looked around in the Linfang Hall but did not find Wang Shao and Feng Deyi, and hurriedly came to report to Liu Shu.
Liu Shu guessed and knew that the two must have absconded in fear of crime. The heart is not good, if the two of them escape, who knows what the prince will think about this matter, he immediately said to Yuan Yan: "Wang, seal the two traitors and abscond." The lower officials must arrest them back immediately. For the affairs of the palace, I hope that the right servant will take care of the adults. ”
Although Yuan Yan did not see the prince's recital. It's just that at this time, it is obvious that he will not screw up with the prince's brother-in-law, nodding in agreement, Liu Shu chased after him with a hurry.
Wang Shao and Feng Deyi had just arrived at the gate of Renshou Palace, and were stopped by the internal guards: "Lord Feng, Lord Wang, are you going to leave the palace?" ”
"Exactly, the two of us returned to Beijing on the emperor's secret order, and I ask you to let me go!" The two lied without changing their faces.
At this time, the news of the emperor's death had not yet come, the internal guard did not know, and believed the words of the two, and soon opened the door of Renshou Palace, and the two were about to rush out, when a voice came: "Lord Feng, wait a minute, Feng Deyi heard it, and knew that it was Yuanzhou's voice, and secretly complained in his heart, Yuanzhou is the head of the internal guard, and his status is much higher than them, if he ignores it, it will immediately arouse Yuanzhou's suspicions, and the two of them are helpless, so they have to stop their horses and say to Yuanzhou: "What does the general command?" ”
"Lord Feng, you want to leave the palace, do you have the emperor's will?"
The two of them almost stopped their heartbeats when they heard this, but they often stayed by the emperor's side, and their nerves were strong enough, Feng Deyi replied: "General, what the emperor gave us is a secret decree, if the general doesn't believe it, the general might as well detain us and ask the emperor directly." ”
Yuan Xuan actually just asked casually, as the emperor's internal security commander, during the emperor's serious illness, of course, the more careful the better, he never thought that the two wanted to escape, and there was no emperor's will at all. The two of them won this bet, how could Yuan Zhou really go to the emperor and ask: "Those two adults are going well." ”
If the two of them were amnesty, they couldn't say goodbye, patted the horse and left, and soon disappeared on the official road in front, Yuan Zhou shook his head, he was very puzzled by the actions of the two, and he didn't know the reason until Liu Shu chased him down, Yuan Zhou was immediately furious, and sent hundreds of internal guards to hunt down the two, however, time has been delayed, and the two of them changed from the post station to a fast horse every time they passed, and finally temporarily escaped from the pursuit of the internal guards.
For the escape of the two, Liu Shu is helpless, how to deal with the emperor's aftermath is the right reason, the day after the emperor's death, the Renshou Palace proclamation has reached the capital, the emperor's death came, Yang Yong testified for a while before ordering the next day to personally go to Renshou Palace to welcome the spirit, the complicated taste in his heart, I'm afraid he can't tell.
The next day, under the escort of 5,000 Praetorian Guards, Yang Yong set off to Renshou Palace with 100 officials, the entire Praetorian Guard was white, the people who saw them off were all wearing white clothes, and the cloth banners on the shops on both sides of the street were also white. The whole capital is presented in a solemn atmosphere.
Although Yang Jian had many shortcomings in his later years, he turned from frugality to extravagance, killed many meritorious ministers, and closed down schools in various prefectures......
But for the people, all this is not important, in the opening of the emperor's years, life is stable, the family has surplus wealth, compared to the situation of decades of chaos I don't know how many times, for the departure of the old emperor. Many of them were in tears.
It took two days for Yang Yong to arrive at Renshou Palace, Yuan Yan, Liu Shu, Yuan Guan, Yang Yichen, Yuan, and Wei Wensheng were already waiting outside the gate of Renshou Palace, and greeted Yang Yong: "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Yuan Guan, Yang Yichen, Yuan, Wei Wensheng four people are the other four Wei generals, Yang Yichen nature Li, in the early years of the emperor, especially his father Li Chong died in the battle to resist the Turkic attack, Yang Jian pity his merits. Li Chong's eldest son was specially accepted as a righteous son and renamed Yang Yichen.
These four people are all people who are absolutely loyal to the emperor, if it weren't for their presence in Renshou Palace. Although Yang Yong is the crown prince, he may not be able to mobilize them, but now that the emperor has died, the object of their allegiance has naturally shifted to Yang Yong.
"Everyone, please get up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." All the ministers got up one after another, but Liu Shu knelt down instead: "Your Highness, Weichen is incompetent, let the two rebel ministers escape, please punish Your Highness!" ”
The two people Liu Shu said naturally referred to Wang Shao and Feng Deyi, and Yang Yong didn't care about the escape of Feng Deyi and Wang Shao. These two people are literati, they have no soldiers in their hands, and they can't make much waves, even if they are Murong Sanzang and others who have military power in the local area, Yang Yong did not pay attention to them. With their local strength, even if they rebel, it is just the erosion of creating a state and a government, so why should they be afraid.
"Liu Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, his father died, and the palace is sad. The thief's thing. Just deal with it later! Yang Yong said in a deep voice.
Regarding the prince's disposition, the hundred officials behind him nodded secretly. Everyone followed Liu Shu and others behind the ground and walked towards the Linfang Palace, entering the Linfang Palace, the entire hall was also white, Yang Jiandi's body had not yet been gathered, just lying flat on the dragon bed, his body had been changed into a new dragon robe, Xuanhua and Ronghua were sitting next to them, and their eyes were already red and swollen from crying.
Over the years, the suspicion of the father and son has become bigger and bigger, and the relationship between the two parties has also weakened, Yang Yong thought that he could look at Yang Jian's life and death calmly, but when he really saw Yang Jiandi's body, Yang Yong's hands still couldn't help but tremble.
This man took the throne at the smallest cost, retained most of the vitality of the north, and easily ended hundreds of years of turmoil in China, he let the Han people re-emerge in the north, and the system of three provinces and six ministries he established has been imitated by the feudal dynasties of later generations, and the number of people under his rule was not reached until the peak of the Tang Dynasty, he left an example of thrift and thrift, and the stored grain was not used up for hundreds of years, until a thousand years later, he also excavated the granary of the era to which he belonged, Again and again, his army defeated the nomads of the north, at its peak, and dismembered a large country with 400,000 armor in half......
His merits should far surpass every emperor in later generations, but because of the wrong heir but led to the death of the second, the Central Plains fell back into strife, and when it was reunified, the population was only two or three out of ten, and now he came, and all the inheritance he left behind was inherited, of course he would not make Yang Guang's mistakes, a country far beyond his contemporaries, ushered in an emperor who surpassed the era of thousands of years of knowledge, and finally where the country and nation would go, even Yang Yong himself could not predict.
"Father, the son is late." Yang Yong knelt down in front of Yang Jiandi's body and cried loudly, and the hundreds of officials behind him also began to cry, and the entire Renshou Palace was immersed in grief.
A month later, the new monarch's enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled, and when the ministers asked the new monarch to give him the year name, Yang Yong spit out two words: "Great cause." "The fourth volume is over.,I wanted to code a little more today.,It's just the chapter after the volume.,How to code how to be dissatisfied.,Deleted a few times.,That's all.。
