The second volume begins with the fifty-fifth chapter of the Sui Dynasty Zhou

Soon after the king returned to the mansion, he received the news that King Bi had rebelled and was executed, and as soon as King Bi died, Yuwen's family completely lost hope of overthrowing Yang Jian in the capital, and spit out a mouthful of blood: "Pu Liuru, you are so ruthless." ”

He had just sent his daughter to get married, and he was hit so hard that for a while, he only felt dizzy and almost fainted. It took him half a time to come back to his senses, and suddenly he remembered something, and called out, "Butler, butler." ”

The palace steward came in response: "Lord, what do you have to order?" ”

Yuwen Zhao said weakly: "Is Mei'er back?" ”

The housekeeper was stunned: "Lord, didn't Mei'er accompany Miss to get married?" ”

Yuwen Zhao thought about it, in order to facilitate Mei'er's actions, everyone in the palace thought that Mei'er also followed Yuwenfang to marry, so to speak, Mei'er must have also fallen into the hands of Pu Liurujian, which led to the killing of his nephew Bi Wang, Yuwen Zhao only felt extremely remorseful, at this time he put down everything in his heart, Pu Liurujian, if you have the courage, go to the palace and kill the old man.

King Bi was killed, and the other royal clans in the capital were panicked, for fear that the next one would be their turn, but then there was no reaction, King Bi's death did not seem to have happened at all, Yang Jian continued to maintain preferential treatment for the princes and clans on the surface, and instead of being in short supply, he invited the little emperor and added a lot of rewards. Let the commotion of the various royal clans finally calm down.

There are still a few days is the day of Yang Tian's marriage, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion is full of joy, and it is newly arranged, since the Prime Minister's Mansion announced the specific date of marriage with Yuanzhu State, the officials who came to congratulate are endless, and all kinds of gifts are delivered in advance without waiting for Yang Tian's marriage.

Yang Tian was temporarily confined to the Prime Minister's Mansion and could not go out, and he had to stand outside the Prime Minister's Mansion every day to greet the officials who came to congratulate him, and after a few days, his legs were also sore. His face was also stiff with a smile, and before he could make it, Yang Tian only felt extremely tired.

In the study, Yang Jian held an invitation sticker in his hand, his face was full of doubts, and asked Li Delin: "King Zhao invites me to a banquet tomorrow, what does this mean?" ”

Li Delin was happy in his heart, although he tried his best to assist Yang Jian, he was actually with Yuwen. Yuwenchun and others also have friendships, if it weren't for Emperor Xuan's actions that made Li Delin too disappointed in the Yuwen family, he might not be willing to help Yang Jian seize the throne of the Yuwen family, and replied: "Maybe King Zhao is worried that King Bi's matter will be implicated, so he wants to marry the prime minister." ”

Yang Jian shook his head, Emperor Wu made a dangerous blow back then, although he killed Yuwen Hu, he was actually in danger, and he was a little careless. will be counterattacked by Yuwen Hu's forces, and can silently suppress the remnants of Yuwen Hu, Yuwen Zhao and Yu Wenxian have made great efforts, Yang Jian doesn't believe that Yuwen Zhao is a person who easily admits defeat.

Gao Gong said on the side: "Gong thinks that King Zhao wants to take advantage of the banquet to be unfavorable to the prime minister, and the prime minister can refuse King Zhao's banquet." ”

"No, King Zhao is already a toothless tiger, if you don't go, wouldn't you be afraid of him, tomorrow I will bring my own wine and food to the banquet, Zhao Wangfu is now only a hundred and ten people. Do you dare to harm me? ”

Since Yang Jian has decided that there is no danger for Li Delin and Gao Gong to pay for themselves, they will no longer persuade each other, Gao Gong only said: "When you go to the banquet tomorrow, please also ask the prime minister to bring more guards." ”

Yang Jian nodded, thinking that he didn't need to be too excited. It's enough to bring dozens of guards, otherwise you don't have to let Yuwen Zhao look down on you. If Yuwen Zhao really dares to be bold and unfavorable to himself, he just uses the excuse to get rid of it, and the Yuwen clan does not have the leader of King Zhao, and the trouble in the future should be reduced a lot.

The next day, Yang Jian took Yuan Jian and dozens of guards to the Zhao Palace, Zhao Wang personally greeted him at the gate of the palace, and the two entered the palace hand in hand like friends. The two still had a good relationship, and it was not until Emperor Xuan, after the death of Qi Wangxian, that Yuwen Zhao pointed the finger of suspicion at Yang Jian, and the relationship between the two really deteriorated.

As soon as he entered the palace, Yuan Yan commanded the guards to search everywhere first, which can be said to be extremely rude, but Yuwen Zhao looked at it with a smile and no intention of stopping it.

Wait for the Yuan Ran to be searched. After giving Yang Jian a safe look, Yuwen Zhao invited Yang Jian to the living room: "Prime Minister Gao Sheng." This king has not had the opportunity to congratulate, today a little thin wine, rare Prime Minister willing to appreciate the light, this king is really honored, come, serve wine and food. ”

"Yes, lord."

The palace housekeeper bowed down and was about to go down, but was stopped by Yang Jian: "No need, the prince has a treat, how can Jian come empty-handed, the wine and food have already been prepared, come here, serve the food." ”

King Zhao was stunned, although Yang Jian's move was not in accordance with the rules, but if he refused, he was afraid that Yang Jian would be more vigilant, so he kept silent, as soon as Yang Jian's words fell, dozens of guards put the wine and food on the table one by one, and in the blink of an eye, the table was full, and several jars of good wine were also served.

"Come, please." Yang Jian saw that the wine and food had been arranged, and he took a seat first, as if he was the host.

"Please." Yuwen Zhao had to follow suit. Looking at the guards behind Yang Jian, Yuwen Zhao smiled and said, "Prime Minister, you and I have a banquet, there are so many left and right, does the Prime Minister think that I will assassinate the Prime Minister?" ”

Yang Jian saw that Yuan Yan had already sent someone to search the hall, and there was no place for Tibetans, so he was happy and generous: "Today I will talk to King Zhao, you all go down." ”

"Yes, Prime Minister." Dozens of guards immediately walked out of the hall, and only Yuan Jian stood still behind Yang Jian.

Seeing Yuan Yan staring at him vigilantly, Yu Wenzhao secretly hated in his heart, but if he wanted to drive Yuan Xuan away again, Yang Jian might not be happy, so he had to pretend to laugh: "As soon as these people leave, the conversation between this king and the prime minister is finally much easier, come, this king respects the prime minister and thanks the prime minister for his work for the state affairs of the Great Zhou." ”

The wine is the wine he brought, and the dishes are also the dishes he brought, Yang Jian drank it all with confidence: "The prince is bothered, he is alone as the prime minister of the Great Zhou, and he should work for state affairs." ”

The two of them talked with needles hidden in their mouths, but their faces were full of smiles, after three rounds of drinking, Yuwenzhao and Yang Jian seemed to have returned to the previous time, and became close friends again, talking and laughing.

Yuwen Zhao said suddenly: "Prime Minister, there is wine and food, but there is no melon, isn't it a pity, come here, bring watermelon." ”

Yang Jian really didn't think of bringing watermelons, and he didn't stop them, and after a while, a servant of the palace carried a big watermelon up, along with the watermelon and a short blade for cutting watermelons, Yuan Jian suddenly became nervous. stared at the servant of the palace who brought the sword, and his hand was also pressed on the hilt of the sword.

The person who gave the knife in the Zhao Dynasty shook his head slightly, and the servant honestly put down the melon and the knife, and bent down to exit the hall. Prince Zhao personally cut the watermelon with a knife in his hand and sent the melon to Yang Jian: "Prime Minister, this melon has been chilled, and it is the most refreshing to eat on a hot day."

As soon as the melon was cut, a cold air immediately came out, and the bright red sweet potato pulp was inlaid with black sweet potato seeds. Suddenly made people's appetite increase, Yang Jian caught the melon, but did not put it in his mouth, although it is unlikely that the watermelon is poisoned, Yang Jian has to guard against it.

King Zhao picked up another piece of watermelon and sent it to Yuan Yin's hand: "Yuan Zhuangshi guards the prime minister hard, eat melons to quench your thirst." ”

Yuan Yan didn't answer, and said: "This is a banquet for the prince and the prime minister, Yuan Yan is just a guard, how can he be qualified to enjoy it." It's still not bothering the prince. ”

Yuan Yan didn't accept the watermelon, a trace of disappointment flashed on Yuwen Zhao's face, and he had to sit down again: "Since this is the beginning, then the king can only enjoy it with the prime minister." After speaking, he picked up the watermelon in his hand and took a few bites.

Seeing that Yuwen Zhao ate the watermelon, Yang Jian began to enjoy the frozen watermelon as well, and the two ate a few pieces together, Yuwen Zhao got up and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, I eat a lot of melons, and this king is anxious to urinate." Let's go out and solve it first, the prime minister will sit down for a while, and the king will come soon. ”

Yuan Yin saw that Yuwen Zhao was in a hurry to get out, and he was suspicious in his heart, and suddenly heard a few slight metal collisions in his ears, and was immediately shocked. He said loudly: "Prime Minister, there are still many things to be dealt with in the mansion, so it is better to disperse the banquet and go home." ”

Saying this, the sound of swords in Yuan Jian's ears became louder, and Yuan Yan hurriedly whispered in Yang Jian's ear: "Prime Minister go quickly, my subordinates hear the sound of swords in the house." ”

Yang Jian was stunned: "Didn't the guards check before?" ”

"Prime Minister, the search of the guards is just a hasty glance, and the subordinates suspect that there are passages or tunnels in the house, if there are people hidden inside. It was difficult for the guards to find it just now. ”

When Yang Jian heard this, he couldn't sit still for a while, and arched his hand to King Zhao: "Lord Wang, it's not early, Jian will go back first." ”

Yuwen Zhao hurriedly shouted: "The prime minister stays, this king still has something to discuss with the prime minister." ”

Just as he was about to chase Yang Jian, Yuan Yin blocked the gate: "Prince, if there is anything else, welcome the prince to the Prime Minister's mansion." ”

Yuwen Zhao was blocked by Yuan Yin. I could only helplessly watch Yang Jian walk away with the guards, and saw that Yang Jian had already walked away. Yuan Yan got out of the way, hugged his fist to King Zhao, and left the palace.

Soon after Yang Jian left, a sandwich wall in the hall of King Zhao's mansion moved, moved to the side, and dozens of family members with swords came out of the ground, and one of them asked puzzledly: "Lord Wang, why did you let this traitor go?" ”

Yuwen Zhao replied angrily: "If you don't let him go, do you want this king to die under the sword in his house first?" ”

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Jian was still a little frightened, and asked Yuan Yin: "Is there really a sandwich in King Zhao's living room?" ”

"The subordinates did hear the sound of the sword impact, especially when King Zhao was about to leave, the impact sound was even more powerful, it was definitely authentic."

Yang Jian suddenly sweated, he thought he was safe and worry-free, but he didn't expect dozens of assassins to hide under him, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became: "Yuan Yin, you immediately take someone to King Zhao's mansion and take down King Zhao, if you really find out the sandwich road, kill King Zhao directly." ”

"Subordinates obey orders."

Yang Tian had been greeting guests at the gate of the mansion, and seeing that Yang Jian had just returned, Yuan Yan left the mansion with hundreds of soldiers and horses, and hurriedly asked, "General Yuan, what are you going to?" ”

Yuan Bin replied: "Kill King Zhao!" ”

Yang Tian was taken aback, he knew that Yang Jian went to King Zhao's mansion for a banquet today, but he didn't know what happened, how soon he came back, his father was going to send someone to kill King Zhao, Li Delin and Gao Gong repeatedly confessed that they could not kill the royal family without permission, in Yang Tian's opinion, it was far better to put them under house arrest in the capital than to kill them directly.

"General Yuan, wait a minute, I'll ask my father before making a decision." Yang Tian couldn't wait at the door any longer, so he turned his legs and ran towards Yang Jian's study.

The few people in the back of the Prime Minister's Mansion shouted anxiously: "Shizi, Shizi, you can't leave here." ”

It's a pity that Yang Tian turned a deaf ear and disappeared in front in a blink of an eye, and several officers hesitated and said to Yuan Yin: "General, the prince ordered us to wait for the time being, what do you think?" ”

Yuan Yin didn't reply: "Are we listening to the prince or the prime minister, get on the horse." Several officers suddenly turned on their horses and galloped towards Zhao Wangfu.

Yang Jian still had a trace of resentment on his face, and when he saw Yang Tian enter the study, he scolded: "You are not guarding the door, what are you doing here?" ”

Yang Tian hurriedly said, "Why did my father send someone to kill King Zhao?" ”

Yang Jian was impatient: "This person dares to hide the ambush soldiers during the banquet, if I don't kill him, will I not be able to wait for him to kill me, you don't have to worry about this matter, go back to the mansion and stand." ”

Yang Tiancai knew the reason, and his face was sincere: "My father wants to kill King Zhao, just like killing a chicken and duck, just pulling the whole body, the child thinks that King Zhao and others must not be killed, and asks my father to revoke the previous order." ”

Yang Jian sighed: "It turned out that it was for this matter, you are still young, you don't understand these truths, although the father is in power, but the capital is not without undercurrents, if King Zhao wants to harm his father, but his father does not punish him, wouldn't it seem that his father is too soft-hearted, I'm afraid that other kings will not be stupid and stupid." ”

"But if my father kills King Zhao, isn't he worried that all localities will raise troops under the pretext of King Qin?"

Yang Jian was slightly moved, he was angry just now and left this matter behind, which was actually the reason why Li Delin and Gao Gong strongly persuaded Yang Jian not to kill the royal family. It's just that Yang Jian thought in a blink of an eye: "Wei Chi Hui and others are a hidden danger sooner or later, and sooner or later they will have to get rid of them, leaving these kings in Beijing, if they echo the outside, it will be even more troublesome, Li Delin and others are scholars in the end, they only know that they are soft-handed, but they don't know that taking the world is a matter of life, and they can't tolerate any compassion." ”

Thinking of this, Yang Jian's killing intent was more resolute, but he didn't want to argue with his eldest son, he just did these things himself: "With the strength of King Zhao's mansion, I'm afraid that it has been broken by Yuan Yin now, and it's useless for my father not to kill King Zhao now." ”

Yang Tian's heart was relieved: "Father, don't worry, I have temporarily stopped General Yuanyan, as long as my father cancels the previous order." ”

Yang Jian's face flashed with anger, "Cutting down the land, you are too bold, and you dare to stop your father's orders?" ”

Yang Tian was suddenly uneasy, he might have touched his father's taboo, but Yang Jian immediately laughed again: "How can you stop your father's order, remember, you must not do this in the future." ”
