Chapter 64: Emperor Wu collapsed
When the emperor's illness did not improve by June, the important ministers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were all flustered, and everyone speculated that the emperor's death was short, and the preparations for the crusade against the Turks could only be temporarily stopped.
On this day, Emperor Wu was in a slightly better spirit, and ordered the guards to call a few close ministers around the prince and asked, "How is the prince doing?" ”
The doctor in the internal history replied: "The prince is still the same, and he is not sad about the emperor's illness. ”
Wang Liang is the confidant of Emperor Wu, both civil and military, in the eradication of Yuwen Hu has made great efforts, and has just made great contributions, in March this year, led the army to defeat the invading South Chen Qiang general Wu Mingche 30,000 troops.
It's just that Wang Liang persuaded the crown prince Yu Wenyun in front of Emperor Wu many times that he was of inferior morality, had no benevolence and filial piety, and was unworthy of inheriting the throne, and suggested that Emperor Wu re-establish an heir. Although Emperor Wu knew in his heart that what Wang Liang said might be correct, no father could agree with others to evaluate his son in his heart, not to mention that Emperor Wu's other sons were weaker than the crown prince, and now that he had little time, he naturally would not consider setting up another prince. Immediately displeased, shook his head, and turned his gaze to the two of them, He Ruobi and Han Baohu, the chief manager.
He Ruobi said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the prince has grown a lot better than before, and the ministers will do their best to assist the prince." ”、
Han Baohu hesitated for a moment, but still said: "The minister has not heard of the prince's recent mistakes. ”
Emperor Wu's face suddenly became relieved, and the three of them left Emperor Wu's bedroom, and Wang Liang complained to He Ruobi and Han Baohu: "What kind of character is the prince, I don't know, why don't you say it directly?" ”
Han Baohu smiled and was silent, and He Ruobi replied: "If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will be shiny." How can this matter be discussed in public? ”
Wang Liang's face changed suddenly, remembering that he had said in front of Emperor Wu that the prince's mistakes would be jealous of the prince, and if the prince ascended to the pole, he would have no luck, and the Great Zhou might fall apart.
He sighed, although the son of Emperor Wu is not a weapon, but there are six younger brothers, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, from Emperor Min to Emperor Ming to Emperor Wu, they are all brothers to brothers, if the sixth brother of Emperor Wu can be elected to take over the throne, then not only will he be saved, but the Sheji of the Great Zhou will also be saved.
After Wang Liang figured it out, he immediately ran around, contacting the general Yuwen Xiaobo, the captain of the Shangzhu State Chi Yun, the general of the Zhu State Yuwen Shenju and others, preparing to state the interests in front of Emperor Wu and re-establish Qi Wangxian as the prince, these people are all confidants of Emperor Wu, and they also have no good impression of the prince.
It's a pity, time is not waiting for Wang Rail, Emperor Wu's illness is getting worse and worse, three days later, Emperor Wu summoned all the important ministers to his bedside, announced that the Great Meng Zaiyue Wang Sheng is the great front suspicion, the Duke of Shu Chi Yu is the great right Bi, the Duke of Shen Li Mu is the great left auxiliary, and the Duke of Suiguo Yang Jian is the Great Houcheng, these four people are auxiliary ministers, after the death of Emperor Wu, assist the new monarch to ascend the throne.
Yang Jian returned home, his face was no longer as sad as before, although he was one of the four auxiliary ministers, he was at the bottom of the list, the first three, no matter who they were, were older than Yang Jian, and he really achieved the goal of hiding himself.
On the night after announcing the four as auxiliary ministers, Emperor Wu lay quietly in his bedroom, reminiscing about his life, when I first ascended the throne, it was like walking on the ice, as if on the verge of death, the two brothers in front were killed by Yuwen Hu, the world's army, nine times out of ten are in the hands of Yuwen Hu, Yuwen Hu is the uncrowned king of the Great Zhou.
I am only eighteen years old, and I am just the blood and energy, but this forbearance is twelve years, and I have lived a nest to the fullest, like a caterpillar wriggling in the mouth of a tiger.
But Yuwen Hu was still killed by me, and on the day I killed Yu Wenhu, I didn't even tell anyone, and I still remember every word I said to Yu Wenhu that day: "Brother, the Queen Mother is already old, she is addicted to alcohol, she is moody, and she hurts the Holy Body." Although my brother repeatedly admonished him, it was ultimately ineffective. Her old man respects only her brother, I have a "Wine Message" here, can my brother enter the palace to read it for the Queen Mother, and persuade it? Maybe the Queen Mother quit drinking after hearing this. ”
Yuwen has protected his trust, in the past twelve years, I have been like a sheep in front of him, I have never deceived him, he is in charge of all major national affairs, and he will give me some face in small matters.
Yuwen Hu in the palace has already laid countless nails, if there is any change, he will know immediately, he saw the queen mother, he sat aside, took out the "Wine Message" and read it clearly. And I have always been very well-behaved, when the Queen Mother and Yuwen Hu sit opposite each other and talk about the gifts of the family, I always stand aside. Just as Yuwen Hu was getting carried away from reading, I quietly took out the jade from my sleeve and slammed Yuwen Go's head.
It's a pity that I was still too nervous, and I didn't even beat Yuwen Hu to death, but fortunately, the first to find out were the sixth brother and Wang Liang, and these two people did not hesitate to help me slam Yuwen Hu, and finally killed him.
When I really gained power, but there was no unforgetful pleasure, there were only more than ten concubines in the palace, and they only ate three or five dishes every day, suppressing the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism, accumulating strength to attack the Qi country, and every time I sent troops, I personally commanded the army, shared weal and woe with the soldiers, rushed to the forefront when fighting, and lived a life on the tip of the knife.
At that time, the Eight Pillars Kingdom fought hard for more than ten years, and did not gain an inch of land, I actually only took three years of hard work to destroy the Qi Kingdom in one fell swoop.
"Hateful! Hateful! As long as you give me three years, as long as you have three ......years," Martial Emperor Yu Wenyong shouted, stretching out his hand and moving straight forward.
The surrounding palace maids, the eunuchs were terrified when they heard it, and no one dared to step forward, the surrounding candlelight shook violently, and the outstretched hand of Emperor Wu gradually weakened, and hung down, for a long time, and there was no sound.
A eunuch stepped forward tremblingly, touched Emperor Wu's snort, and shouted: "Your Majesty is dead, Your Majesty is dead." ”
After a while, a continuous bell rang in the palace, conveying the news of the death of the Great Zhou Emperor to the entire Chang'an.
Prince Yu Wenyun was first awakened by the bell, jumped up from the bed, and the more he listened, the more he was happy, and pushed the crown princess Yang Lihua awake: "Concubine Ai, you listen, you listen, the old guy is dead, dead, finally dead, from tomorrow, I am the emperor, you are the queen, ha, ha, I am the emperor." ”
Wang Rail was sitting in the study to write a recital, explaining to Emperor Wu the reason for changing the crown prince, when he heard the death knell ringing, the pen in Wang Rail's hand fell to the ground with a snap, and cried loudly: "The Great Zhou is over!" The big week is over! Your Majesty, do you know? Your hard work with Yuwen Protector is in vain! You fought on the battlefield, and your efforts to unify the North were also in vain. ”
