The news that Wang Shichong recruited Shan Xiongxin as his son-in-law spread throughout Luoyang City, and all the officials and nobles in Luoyang heard the news, and there was an endless stream of people who went to King Zheng's mansion to give gifts and congratulations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The people of the Wang clan were even more arrogant at the banquet, Wang Shichong's brother Wang Shiyun directly picked up the wine glass and said to the guests at the banquet:
"Everyone, since the first emperor was killed by the Yuwen traitor, the tight Sui Sheji has become stormy, fortunately, His Royal Highness King Zheng strongly supports the current emperor and stabilizes the society, and then, that Li Mi is anti-death, came to attack, and was fully resisted by our Wang clan, today the Great Sui can have today's peaceful days, King Zheng is indispensable, today with great joy, it is better for us to ask Prince Zheng to ascend the throne together, how about the world." After speaking, Wang Shiyun immediately came to Wang Shichong's face, knelt on the ground and bowed, and the other Wang clansmen also knelt down and urged Wang Shichong to ascend the throne as the emperor.
"Lord Wang is right, Prince Zheng assists the emperor to set the world, that is, today's Duke Zhou, today's Yiyin, now the world of the Great Sui has fallen apart, and the major events have gone, King Zheng should be the son of heaven, and Chen Yun Dingxing seconded the proposal, please take the throne." As soon as he heard Yun Dingxing's words, many people cast contemptuous glances at him, especially knowing that when he was in power for Yang Yong, he went everywhere to offer rare and strange clothes to befriend Yang Yong, after Yang Yong lost power, in order to befriend Yang Guang, he killed his grandson Yang Yan with his own hands, most of them were unwilling to be with him, but there were also people who were incorruptible and shameful, Duan Da also came out to worship:
"Lord Wang is right, Prince Zheng has worked hard and made great achievements, and I, Duan Da, also asked King Zheng to ascend the throne to make a name for himself." Seeing that the people who visited the shrine were sparse, but most of the officials bowed their heads and were silent, Wang Shichong saw that there was a little cold, and quickly helped Wang Shiyun and Duan Da up.
"What are you doing, all of you, get up! Thinking that King Wen of Zhou occupied two-thirds of the world back then, and there was no rebellion, now the country is in trouble, we should work together to reorganize the country and return peace to the people. Well, the good intentions of the adults have been understood, and the king has already set up a banquet, and I invite you to the table. After the officials left, Wang Shichong came to Wang Shiyun and reprimanded:
"Big brother! You've done something abruptly today, why don't you discuss it with me. Wang Shiyun's face was full of seriousness, and he reprimanded Wang Shiyun, Wang Shiyun had no talent in the Wang family, and he originally hoped to please Wang Shichong through this matter, but who knew that it was self-defeating, so he had to lower his head and let Wang Shichong reprimand. Seeing Wang Shiyun's pitiful appearance, Wang Shichong thought that when he and his mother had just married into the Taiyuan Wang family, the whole family ignored him, only this stepfather's son, his nominal eldest brother did not isolate himself, after the death of his stepfather, it was also his eldest brother who depended on him for his life, and after he joined the army, it was also this eldest brother who helped himself before and after he joined the army. Thinking of this, Wang Shichong's tone softened:
"Big brother! You can't be blamed for today's incident, through this incident, I can also see that only by letting Yang Tong take the initiative to abdicate can those nobles of the family shut up. After listening to Wang Shichong's words, Wang Shiyun immediately offered a plan:
"Lord Wang, in my opinion, that Yun Dingxing is the right person, let him go." Wang Shichong smiled:
"Yun Dingxing is incorruptible and shameful, and has a bad reputation."
"Lord Wang, it's okay for Yichen to look at that section." Wang Shichong nodded. And again:
"Things have to be done slowly, don't be in a hurry, take a look at the Three Kingdoms." Wang Shiyun nodded yes. Since that day, it has been rumored in Luoyang City that Wang Shichong is plotting against him, and sooner or later he will seek to usurp the throne, Yang Tong also heard the news, he was resentful, but the guards around him were replaced by Wang Shichong, he was not good at expressing his emotions, so he had to bury himself in his heart.
"Hey!"
"Your Majesty sighs!" Lu Shiji immediately spoke comfortingly.
"Shiji! Today, when I look at the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, I think of Emperor Han Xian being bullied by his subordinates, and finally the Han family became surnamed Cao, and now, this ancestral inheritance will be lost from my hands, so I can't bear it in my heart! "Lu Shiji is loyal, and he has known Yang Tong for many years, and he has a deep relationship, and now he is uncomfortable when he sees Yang Tong so sad, but he has no power to tie the chicken, and he will definitely not be able to take it.
"Your Majesty! Now Wang Shichong's power is powerful, and at the banquet of his son-in-law that day, Wang Shichong has revealed Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it, although some people have not expressed their position, but they are also clear and protect themselves, so they can only outwit, not be invincible. ”
"Oh! What are your clever plans. Yang Tong asked Lu Shiji closely. Lu Shiji looked around. Only a few eunuchs waited around. Yang Tong whispered:
"Aiqing rest assured, these people have been waiting for me since childhood, Wang Shichong just removed the guards, and most of the attendants in the palace are still old men from the former Sui." Lu Shiji nodded.
"Your Majesty, now that Wang Shichong has not fully revealed his heart, this matter can still be turned around, and Your Majesty can add nine tin gifts to Wang Shichong in the name of his high merits. Then set up a banquet to celebrate his achievement, and let the imperial kitchen poison and kill him during the banquet. Once Wang Shichong is dead, His Majesty can also contact the Sui Dynasty elders in the Luoyang area to regain power. According to the minister's observation, the former general Pei Renji, Shangshu Zuo Chengyu, Wen Rutong and others were hesitant, and the minister could go to understand their state of mind. ”
"Good! Aiqing went to do it quickly, and after the big thing was done, I rewarded him again. Two days later, Yang Tong issued a decree to grant Wang Shichong the gift of Jiuxi in the name of Wang Shichong's auxiliary political merits. Yuan Shao's Biography quoted "Lihan Wenjia" as saying: "Nine tin is a chariot and horse, two is clothing, three is a musical instrument, four is Zhu Hu, five is Na Ma, six is a hundred tigers, seven is an axe, eight is a bow and arrow, and nine is a mustache." After Wang Shichong received the decree, he immediately entered the palace to thank Yang Tong:
"The minister Wang Shichong made a small contribution, and even asked the emperor to give the minister a gift of Jiuxi. I am here to thank you today! ”
"King Zheng doesn't have to be polite, I haven't met Aiqing for many days, a few days ago, Zhengzhou Thorn Shi paid tribute to two big carps of the Yellow River with red bodies, and today I specially set up a banquet with this cuisine, I don't know if Aiqing has time to accompany the banquet."
"The minister is willing to accompany him." At this time, an attendant reported:
"Your Majesty! One of the carps that paid tribute a few days ago has died, so there is only one left. He put on a look of embarrassment.
"Then use the remaining one to cook and give it all to Wang Aiqing!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After a while, a small chamberlain came up with a braised carp that was red all over his body. As soon as it came up, everyone present smelled a trace of aroma and only drilled into their noses. Wang Shichong's index finger moved.
"Don't hurry up and bring it to Wang Aiqing." Wang Shichong smelled the aroma of carp, but suddenly found that the little waiter's hands and feet were trembling, he had some doubts in his heart, and secretly touched a copper coin on his body, and secretly hit the leg joint of the little waiter.
"Ouch!" The little chamberlain felt that his leg joints were numb, and he immediately fell to the ground, and the carp also fell to the ground.
"What's going on? This is a rare delicacy in the world, why are you so wasteful, drag me out to fight! In the cry of the little waiter crying for his father and mother, Yang Tong apologized to Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong already had some doubts in his heart, and hurriedly said goodbye to Yang Tong and left the palace. After returning to the house, Wang Shichong found Wang Shiyun:
"Big brother, now it seems that Yang Dong can't tolerate me anymore, you will make an appointment with Yun Dingxing and Duan Da tomorrow, enter the palace together and have a showdown with Yang Dong directly, in addition, go and find Dugu Zang, now is not the time to tear your face." On the second day, Duan Da, Yun Dingxing, Wang Shiyun and others came to see Yang Dong, saying that Wang Shichong had great merit and hoped that Yang Dong would follow Yao Shunchan and be located in Wang Shichong. When Yang Tong heard this, he was very angry.
"The world is the world of Emperor Wen of Sui, and the east is the eastern capital of my imperial grandfather. If my Sui Dynasty's qi has not been exhausted, this kind of thing should not be said, if the will of heaven wants to change the dynasty, then what kind of Zen is there to talk about? You are all the old ministers of the first emperor, and I am really disappointed that you would say such a thing! Yang Tong's expression was awe-inspiring when he said this, and the guards were sweating with fright. After retiring from the dynasty, Yang Tong cried to his mother, Empress Dowager Liu. Empress Dowager Liu knew that her son was wronged, but the evidence of her affair with Duguzang was held in Wang Shichong's hands, so she had to comfort Yang Tong:
"Dong'er, now the situation is pressing, we have no soldiers and no power, and there is no way to be a mother! According to his mother, he still gave him this name to save his life! ”
"Mother! This Jiangshan Sheji was passed down from the ancestors, and the son, as a descendant of the Yang family, went underground to see the ancestors in the future. Seeing that Yang Tong was so stubborn, Empress Dowager Liu had no choice but to sigh in her heart. After Wang Shichong heard about it, he asked Empress Yuan to send a letter to Yang Tong.
"Now the sea is undecided, and the king is needed. When the world is settled, and then you will be restored to the throne, and you will not disobey or disappoint you morally, as I swore to you before. And strengthened the control of Yang Tong, Yang Dong was not allowed to meet with the queen and the queen mother, like a prisoner, Yang Dong had no choice, Zen is located in Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong imprisoned him in the Hanliang Palace, Wang Shichong is the emperor, Yang Dong is the Duke of Luguo, 5,000 households.
