Chapter 543 A Human Life Was Judged

"And ...... The last general only heard that shortly before the rebellion of Liang Shiyan and the other three, Ma Xiaonan of the Nanchen Sui State Company raised 100,000 troops to attack Shouzhou, but was defeated by the Shouzhou assassin Shi Yuwenshu and led the army. "www.biquge.info Yu Xiaoren racked his brains, and finally remembered something that Yang Guang might be interested in, and said busily.

In this way, Liang Shiyan and the other three in Chang'an City wanted to plot a rebellion, and it is likely that they had already contacted Sima Xiao, who was in a high position in the Southern Chen Dynasty, in advance. From Yu Xiaoren's report, Yang Guang naturally thought of Sima Luo, the former queen of the dynasty who insisted on going to Wanshanni Temple to become a nun, and secretly pondered: If Liang Shiyan and the other three really colluded with Sima to eliminate difficulties inside and outside, and wanted to plot rebellion, there is no doubt that Sima Luo would act as the liaison between the two sides.

The attention was all on Sima Xiaonan and Sima Luo, a father and daughter, so that Yang Guang did not pay attention to the figure Yu Wenshu who was very important to him in the real history mentioned by Yu Xiaoren, and asked Yu Xiaoren: "Do you know the whereabouts of Sima Luo, the queen of the previous dynasty, recently?" ”

Yu Xiaoren mistakenly thought that when he talked about Sima Xiao's difficulty and raising troops, it would arouse Yang Guang's attention to the whereabouts of his daughter Sima Luo, and replied with great certainty: "The last general heard that she seems to have gone to Qizhou with the King of Han, perhaps because she was implicated by her father and sent to Chang'an by the emperor." ”

"Gao De's book, has the court not found out a result so far?" Knowing that his father had really transferred Sima Luo to Qizhou, Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to ask.

Although Yu Xiaoren didn't know much about the story of Gao De's book, during his stay in Chang'an, he listened to his family and friends discuss this matter in private, and he also knew that the reason why Yang Guang was sent back to the state by the emperor in advance was because of this incident. At this time, listening to Yang Guang take the initiative to ask about the latest progress of the matter, Yu Xiaoren couldn't help but secretly scolded himself for being confused, and he couldn't remember to report the matter to Yang Guangyu first, so he replied to the best of his knowledge: "Back to the prince, about a month after the prince left Beijing and returned to the state, news came from the eastern capital, saying that His Royal Highness the crown prince had seized Gao De's body, and this daring traitor who dared to openly write to persuade the emperor to abdicate drowned in the Yi River in the eastern capital. ”

"Is it really Gao De's body that the eldest brother seized?" Yang Guang blurted out.

"The emperor has already issued an edict and confirmed this matter. Why, the prince suspects that it was not Gao De himself who drowned in the Eastern Capital? Yu Xiaoren's eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Guang and asked rhetorically.

"No, no, the news came too suddenly, I just asked casually." Yang Guang hurriedly explained to Yu Xiaoren with a smile, "Since the eldest brother has seized Gao De's body, the father has not sent an edict to the eldest brother to return to Beijing to take charge of the government?" ”

Yu Xiaoren snorted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went back to Chang'an, but it was only one or twenty days before and after, and he was sent back to the Eastern Capital by the emperor. ”

"Why is that?"

"Lord Wang, please forgive the general." Forced to be helpless by Yang Guang's words, Yu Xiaoren had no choice but to turn his heart sideways, and said to Yang Guang with the courage at first glance, "After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince found out that Gao Deqi was dead, the emperor summoned the prince to return to Chang'an and ordered him to preside over the interrogation of Liu Yi, the Duke of Shu. Who knows, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took over the interrogation of Liu Yi, and in just two days, a human life was tried, and Shu Guogong died violently in prison. The emperor was angry with the crown prince, so he sent him back to the eastern capital......"

"Wait. Liu Yi and the other three committed the felony of rebellion, and the father did not give these three people to death, how could he order the eldest brother to preside over the interrogation of Liu Yi? You make it clear. Yang Guang immediately found out the loophole in Yu Xiaoren's words and asked in a deep voice.

"It turned out that the last general didn't make it clear. On the day of the rebellion of Liang Shiyan and the others, the emperor immediately issued an edict to kill Liang Shiyan and Yu Wenxin, perhaps remembering that Liu Yi had a friendship with the emperor in the past, leaving him alone without killing, and soon recalled His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to preside over his interrogation. But he didn't expect that Liu Doi's time limit had arrived, and he still died in the prison, which affected His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Liang Shiyan and the other three wanted to plot a rebellion, and soon after Wang Yi's rebellion, his father must have been very angry at that time, which can be seen from the edict given to Liang Shiyan and Yu Wenxin on the day of the incident, and there is no doubt about it. The reason why he left Liu Yi alone and did not kill him, but ordered his eldest brother to personally preside over his interrogation, presumably there was another reason, and it was definitely not as Yu Xiaoren guessed: his father thought about Liu Yi's past achievements and intended to let him live. This can also be corroborated by the father-in-law Wang Yi, who mercilessly gave the death of his fifth sister.

But the crux of the matter next is that what is the difference between Liu Yi and his two accomplices, so that his father and the emperor can leave him alone and designate the eldest brother to interrogate him, and how could he die in the prison mysteriously just two days after the eldest brother took over the trial?

According to Yu Xiaoren, it can be inferred from his father's transfer of responsibility to the eldest brother after Liu Yi's death, presumably Liu Yi's death was not accidental, which made his father very dissatisfied and disappointed, so he blamed the eldest brother.

Yu Xiaoren reported to Yang Guangyu that the crown prince Yang Yong presided over the trial of a human life, and looked up to see Yang Guang staring into the distance, sitting there in a daze, I don't know if it was because he had done the wrong thing and said the wrong thing, so he would provoke Yang Guang to be like this, standing in place with anxiety, not leaving, not staying, for a long time, before he took out a letter from his arms, and said boldly at first glance: "Prince, in addition to these few things, Zhang Xutuo, who was left in Chang'an Mansion by the prince, thanked the prince for recommending him to be promoted, Tomo brought this letter of thanks to the prince. There is nothing else to explain to the prince in the DPRK recently. ”

Yang Guangqi was still immersed in the conjecture of Liu Yi's death, and suddenly heard that he had stayed in Chang'an to be in charge of monitoring the important suspect - Zhang Xutuotuo, the guard of the Xinyi Shitai, had brought him a letter, and he couldn't help but light up, and complained to Yu Xiaoren: "Why didn't you take out this letter earlier, and didn't remember it until this time?" ”

Yu Xiaoren saw that Yang Guang attached so much importance to Zhang Xutuo's letter, and did not dare to open his mouth to distinguish for himself, so he hurriedly stepped forward and held the letter with both hands and presented it to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang took the letter written by Zhang Xutuo from Yu Xiaoren's hand, and saw that the seal of the letter was sealed to death, and knew that there must be something written in this letter that could not be seen by others, so he was not in a hurry to open the letter, and instructed Yu Xiaoren: "You should step back first." Recently, we have to pay close attention to the domestic trends in Goguryeo, and whenever there is news, I will report it to me at any time. ”
