Chapter 44 The Great Prime Minister

When the ministers came to intercede just now, Yang Jian had already determined that today's emperor's sudden outburst was a conspiracy, who was dealing with him? Yang Jian couldn't help but think hard in his heart.

"Sui Gong, I checked just now, and the news that the Empress Tianyuan was going to be given death by the emperor was the first to come out of the Jingzhao Cheng Mansion." Yang Su did not go back with the other courtiers, but stayed, he received the news that the courtiers Qi asked the emperor to intercede, he felt inappropriate, and immediately kept an extra eye, and when he met the minister, he asked where their news came from? Fortunately, he tracked it down early, otherwise the courtiers would never have been able to track it down one by one.

Yang Su was born in Hongnong Huayin Yang family, Hongnong Yang family is a famous family in the Great Zhou, Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong once recognized his ancestors after his career, and attributed himself to Hongnong Yang family, Hongnong Yang family also needs Yang Zhong to strengthen himself, so he recognized this relative.

Yang Jian said in the palace that Yang Hui and himself were not in harmony, and there was no lie, Yang Jian grew up alone in the nunnery in his early years, Yang Zhong was thirteen years old after taking him back, Yang Hui was very dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of the eldest brother who inherited his father's title, and later relied on himself to marry the princess of Shunyang, and there was not much respect for this eldest brother, so the incident of smashing the society would happen, and the relationship between Yang Jian and Yang Su was much closer than Yang Hui's, more like a brother.

Yang Jian snorted: "Jing Zhaocheng, how bold is he?" ”

Since the previous Jing Zhaocheng Leyun was executed by Emperor Tianyuan, the successor Jing Zhaocheng did not have half of his predecessor's backbone, he belonged to the grass on the wall and the like, who leaned on whom, I didn't expect that this time he dared to use yin strength on himself, Yang Jian didn't believe that he had such courage.

Yang Su also knew that Jing Zhaocheng had no courage to deal with Yang Jian, just one more clue: "Sui Gong, since King Zhao entered Beijing, Chang'an has been turbulent recently. ”

"Chudao, thank you for your trouble, I will definitely find out the person behind this." Yang Jian said fiercely, seeing that his wife was still basking under the scorching sun in the distance, Yang Jian felt indescribable anger in his heart.

Another more than an hour passed, Emperor Tian Yuan and Zheng Yi had finished playing four games of chess, the two sides had a draw, and the fifth game of the tiebreaker began.

Tianyang has passed the hottest noon, and before the time, it slowly turned to Shenshi, but its heat is still unabated, and ants can still be sunburned outside, Dugu is still kneeling on the bluestone slab, and she has a feeling that her knees have been cooked.

A dark cloud gradually rose in the distance, and several thunders were heard, and the old eunuch suddenly muttered to himself: "Guanzhong has been dry for a long time and there is no rain, why is it suddenly thundering, is it that the women who are exposed to the sun outside are begging for rain?" ”

Emperor Tianyuan looked up at the sky outside the door, his face was a little surprised, and he said casually: "If she asks for rain, this Tianzun should be amnesty to the world." ”

The old eunuch hurriedly went out and returned after a while: "Strange, strange, the dark clouds have covered the poisonous sun, and the folk woman no longer needs to be exposed to the sun, but she is about to fall." ”

Zheng Yi's big dragon was finally slaughtered by the emperor, and Emperor Tianyuan happily put down the chess pieces, and there was already lightning and thunder outside, and it was really raining.

Zheng Yi whispered: "Heaven's will is unpredictable, it seems that God really has mercy on that woman." ”

Emperor Tian Yuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

Zheng Yi hurriedly followed the emperor with the old eunuch and came to the palace gate, and sure enough, he saw a person falling into the water, and he couldn't tell the difference between his face.

Emperor Tianyuan suddenly couldn't bear it in his heart, and said to the eldest grandson Sheng standing under the eaves of the palace: "Go, help her to see this Tianzun." ”

Changsun Sheng hurriedly entered the rain and helped Dugu up up, but Dugu made a plop, still kneeling on the ground, letting the wind and rain blow, Changsun Sheng had to run back to Emperor Tianyuan to return: "The woman said that her mother and daughter were guilty, and she had no shame to see Tianzun." ”

"Forgive their mother and daughter for their innocence."

Changsun Sheng went out in the rain to support, but Dugu refused to support, she struggled in the rain, climbed to the front of the steps step by step, and then kowtowed sentence by sentence: "The concubine and the daughter have no way, and the crime deserves death!" If you are forgiven by Heaven, you will be rewarded as a dog and a horse. After saying that, the man fell backwards suddenly, and he had passed out.

Emperor Tianyuan was in a hurry, and wanted to reach out to help him, but when he saw that Dugu's whole body was covered in mud, he immediately withdrew his hand and shouted: "Quick, come on, invite the queen out." ”

The old eunuch asked blankly, "Which queen?" ”

The emperor scolded: "Fool, of course it's the Great Empress Tianyuan." ”

Yang Lihua stumbled out, and saw Dugu's mud covered in mud falling on the steps, and immediately hugged and cried, Emperor Tianyuan was a little embarrassed, and comforted: "Concubine Ai doesn't need to worry, she has to bask in the sun, and she will be hit by the rain, you take your mother back to the palace, change into clean clothes for her, and let the imperial doctor take a look at her." ”

Although Yang Lihua's heart was full of resentment at this time, it was just that the other party was the emperor, no matter what she did, she still only helped the Dugu family down after thanking her.

Looking at the backs of the two, Emperor Tianyuan had a rare trace of shame in his eyes, although he let Yang Jian go today, he didn't fully believe in Yang Jian's words, and now seeing that a day has passed, except for Dugu himself, there is not even a person who pleads, and finally believes that Yang Jian did not form a party.

Dugu woke up after being supported by Yang Lihua, she ignored the heavy rain, insisted on wearing muddy clothes to go home in the rain, and the experience of moxibustion and roasting in the sun today made her unwilling to stay in the palace for a moment.

After the second day, Emperor Tianyuan seemed to have forgotten yesterday's events, and still quietly stayed in the harem every day, playing Wumu with the queens and concubines.

Yang Jian's revenge on the Wei Chi family soon came, Wei Chiyun and Wei Chishun were both transferred out of the capital, and the White Tiger Army of the Wei Chi family was also sent to the front line against the Southern Dynasty.

In fact, if it weren't for Wei Chiyun, Wei Chishun and the two of them drew snakes and stirred up the courtiers to intercede with the emperor, Yang Jian would not necessarily find out the hostility of the Wei Chi family to him in the short term, after all, Yang Jian did not offend the Wei Chi family, although he robbed the position of Da Qianning, which should have belonged to Wei Chi Yuan, but the two families are still related.

If the Wei Chi family can endure it and drag it out until after the death of Emperor Tianyuan, the Wei Chi family will attack Yang Jian again, because the Wei Chi family has the card of King Zhao, it is very likely that the Yu Chi family will have the upper hand.

Yang Jian secretly congratulated himself that Wei Chi was not in Beijing, if Wei Chi was there, it would be difficult to deal with it, and Wei Chi Yun and Yu Chi Shun were still a little worse.

The marriage between the princess and the Turks is scheduled for May, although King Zhao can stay temporarily, but as soon as the princess gets married, King Zhao must leave Beijing, and there is no Wei Chi's family to compete with him, Yang Jian believes that it is impossible for a mere King Zhao to set off a storm in Beijing in the short term.

It's just that Emperor Tianyuan's body collapsed much faster than expected, just entered May, and before he could send Princess Qianjin out of Chang'an, Emperor Tianyuan had already fallen ill, and the sick Emperor Tianyuan cried like a child, regretting that he didn't listen to Yang Lihua's words and take care of his body.

Emperor Tianyuan's illness developed too fast, from the first day of illness, the second day was completely in a state of death, Zheng Yi and Liu Fang timely sealed the news that Emperor Tianyuan was seriously ill, only called it a minor illness to the outside world, the emperor needed to recuperate for the time being, except for Da Qianning and a few doctors in the internal history, no one was seen.

The next day, Zheng Yi and Liu Fang jointly found Yang Jian, entered the palace together, and discussed the candidate for the main government after the emperor went, but Yang Jian did not take it seriously, but hesitated, Emperor Tianyuan was sick too early, and many preparations were not done, Yang Jian thought that there would be at least a few months, but he didn't expect to only give him more than 20 days.

Now although the power of the Wei Chi family in Beijing is empty, and King Zhao is also monitored by Yang Jian day and night, most of the generals of the forbidden army will also tend to him, but Yang Jian, the foundation outside the capital of Chang'an, has not had time to solidify, Yang Jian has been Taoguang and obscure, and there are not many forces outside the Beijing Division, which is arranged in just over 20 days, where can it be time.

Now Wei Chi is based on most of the original Northern Qi land, Li Mu and Wei Xiaokuan have the remaining small half, Sima Xiaoqian has the original Liang Dynasty Jiangbei Kyushu, Bi Wang Yu Wenxian controls Guanzhong, Wang Qian controls Xishu, the five imperial uncles are all fiefdomed and ten thousand households, Yang Jian only has the eldest son who controls more than ten cities on the Turkic front, rashly coming out, like an unformed chicken in an egg, eager to break out of the shell, nine times out of ten is more than auspicious?

Yang Jian was reluctant to take charge, which was much unexpected by Zheng Yi and Liu Fang, if it was another person, whether it was the five imperial uncles or Wei Chi Yuan, Sima Zhen, Wang Qian and others, the two would immediately become rats crossing the street, and the consequences would be unimaginable, in the past two years, they have offended too many people.

Zheng Yi remembered his wife Xiao's words, even if I only died as a queen for two months, it was worth it, he gritted his teeth and said: "If Sui Gong is in charge, we should strongly agree, if Sui Gong waits and sees, although Yi is not talented, he has to reluctantly make it difficult." ”

Zheng Yi said this reluctantly, he knew that he had no talent and no virtue, and without the protection of Emperor Tianyuan, the heroes would definitely crusade from all sides, and I was afraid that he would not be able to endure it for two months, but if he let others take charge, he would die immediately, why should he die again.

Zheng Yi's words forced Yang Jian to have no way out, and if this was the case, the vassal kings such as Wei Chi Yuan, Li Mu, Sima Xiaonan and King Zhao rushed up, and Yang Jian's advantage in Chang'an no longer existed.

Liu Fang saw that Yang Jian was still hesitating, and stumbled and said: "Follow the public, the opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, if you don't come forward, once the heroes are divided, the world will be torn apart, and it will be difficult to clean it up." ”

The two kept urging Yang Jian to make a decision, Yang Jian sighed, it's just that, there has never been a thing to take the world nine out of ten, it was originally a bet of hope and nine points: "The two of you are so loving, if you cringe any longer, you will be sorry for everyone; But this is an eventful time, and I hope that the two of you will support you in the future. ”

"Of course."

"That's how it should be."

Zheng Yi and Liu Fang both breathed a sigh of relief and were relieved.

As soon as the three of them had made a decision, a eunuch hurried over: "Three adults, the emperor is going to make an edict." ”

The three of them hurried to Emperor Tianyuan's side, and at this time, in front of Emperor Tianyuan's imperial couch, there was only one imperial doctor Yan Zhiyi, Yan Zhiyi was in charge of the seal of the Son of Heaven, Zheng Yi, and Liu Fang could not prevent Yan Zhiyi from entering the palace.

Emperor Tianyuan was already dying, and he could barely make a sound, in order to let the emperor say his last words smoothly, Yan Zhiyi ordered the palace people to bring ginseng tea to the emperor, but as soon as he drank the ginseng tea, the emperor not only had no voice, but also had no strength to shake his head.

Zheng Yi said loudly: "Tianzun, the emperor is only eight years old, and he needs a minister to assist him, if he can't speak today, the minister has to pronounce the name of the person, if Tianzun belongs to whom, please nod when he reads it." ”

Zheng Yi read out a long list of names: Wei Chi Hui, Li Mu, Sima Xiaonan, Zhao Wang Zhao...... In the end, I read Pu Liurujian.

The emperor didn't react at all at this time, but as soon as Zheng Yi read out Pu Liurujian, Liu Fang immediately said: "The emperor smiled, that is the intention of the Duke of Suiguo." ”

Zheng Yi stopped reading: "I also saw that the emperor didn't smile at other people just now, but only smiled at Suiguogong, that is, he belonged to Suiguogong and was lonely with his grandfather, which couldn't be safer." ”

Yang Jian was silent beside him, Yan Zhiyi glanced at Yang Jian, and couldn't help but say loudly: "I didn't see it." ”

Zheng Yi and Liu Fang turned a blind eye to Yan Zhiyi's words: "Without further ado, hurry up and draft the edict according to the will of the first emperor!" ”

Liu Fang nodded hurriedly: "Yes." ”

Immediately unfold the decree and wave the edict. Yang Jian served as the prime minister, the general consul knew the affairs of Chinese and foreign soldiers and horses, and the Beijing division was under the command.

After writing, Yan Zhiyi refused to use the seal, and said loudly: "Emperor Tianyuan ascended to heaven, the young lord heir, should be supplemented by the clan, now Zhao Wang Zhao is the oldest, and he happens to be in Beijing, on relatives and virtue, should shoulder the heavy responsibility, you should be loyal to the country, why will the artifact be given to outsiders, Yi will never slander the emperor." ”

If King Zhao recruits auxiliary government, Zheng Yi, and Liu Fang are afraid that they will die immediately, seeing that Yan Zhiyi is dead-brained, regardless of being friends for many years, Zheng and Liu held Yan Zhiyi down, snatched the seal from him, covered it on top of the edict, and handed the edict to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian looked at the bright red seal on the edict, stunned, there was no way back when he took this step, he seemed to see that the edict was full of blood, it was the enemy's, or his own, everything is still difficult to say.
