Great Sui Imperial Palace, Hai Shi.

Yang Guang finished reading the last note, looked at the time, and said to Li Quanzhi beside him: "Where is Chang Dye now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Father-in-law Chang is still waiting outside the palace." Gonggong Li bowed and replied.

Yang Guang took a sip of hot tea and said, "Let him come in, I will ask him something." ”

Chang Ran was just outside the door, always paying attention to the movement of the imperial study, and when he heard Yang Guang rumor that he had entered, he tidied up his clothes, and when Gonggong Li called him, he pushed the door and walked in gently.

After saluting, Chang Gonggong stood about a foot in front of Yang Guang and waited for Yang Guang to ask.

"How is he doing today?" Yang Guang was tired for a day, a little tired, and when he spoke, the whole person leaned on the dragon chair, and his eyes narrowed.

"Your Majesty, Zhongyongwei stayed in the Guozijian all day, and he didn't return to the house at noon." Chang Gonggong replied.

"Does he have complaints? How did he behave in the country's prison? Yang Guang continued to ask, seeing that Chang Gonggong looked embarrassed, he emphasized: "Tell the truth." ”

"When the slave maid went to the Tang State Mansion, Zhongyongwei had not yet woken up." Chang Gonggong said with a smile: "On the way to Guozijian, Zhongyongwei has not let the slave and maid rest, presumably because the slave disturbed his dream, and he complained about the slave and maid. As for Your Majesty, I think there is no complaint against the Loyal Guard. Your Majesty has given such grace, and it is too late for Zhongyongwei to be grateful to Dade, so how can he be resentful? ”

"Why is he angry at you? Obviously he lost his temper at me. Yang Guang smiled and said, "The people who are almost weak crowns are still such a child's temper." After a pause, Yang Guang sat up straight and said, "You go on." ”

Chang Gonggong observed his words and found that Yang Guang was not angry, so he continued: "It is reported that Zhongyongwei hesitated for half an hour in front of the gate of Guozi Prison, and even wanted to pretend to be sick and skip school. Speaking of this, Chang Gonggong smiled, and saw that Yang Guang was still waiting for him to continue, so he continued to speak: "Later, Zhongyongwei was not allowed to enter the palace, and there was a skirmish with the doctor of Guozixue, but it was quickly resolved."

Father-in-law Chang told Li Xuanba what happened in Guozijian in detail, but Father-in-law Chang did not say anything about the petty conflict.

"Sleeping in the National Prison? This Li Xuanba should be the first one, right? I didn't bring the four treasures of the study room to Guozijian, and there was no second person. After listening to Chang Gonggong's story, Yang Guang coughed with a smile, Li Quanzhi smoothed for him, Yang Guang waved his hand, signaled that it was okay, paused, and said, "He didn't approach the princess?" ”

Father-in-law Chang shook his head and said, "This Lord Zhongyongwei is indeed different, everyone else is vying to sit forward, but he has always sat at the end, but he is also quiet in the courtyard. ”

"If it was before, I'm afraid that he would have gone to the palace to make trouble today." Yang Guang smiled, sighed, and said, "Let him stay in the Guozi Prison first, just as he is grinding his temperament." ”

Seeing Yang Guang standing up, Chang Gonggong knew that he was going to bed, so he hurriedly retired.

Yang Guang walked to the door, Li Quanzhi followed behind him, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, go back to the dormitory?" ”

"Go to Inshou Palace." Yang Guang thought for a while and said.

"Drive Renshou Palace." Li Quanzhi got the order, stood in front of the door and shouted sharply, and after a while, the emperor was carried to the door of the imperial study, Li Quanzhi helped Yang Guang to get on the chariot, and shouted again: "Get up." ”

Renshou Palace is the dormitory of Empress Xiao.

When Yang Guang was still the king of Jin, Empress Xiao had already married him, and in the subsequent competition, Empress Xiao played a very important role, so after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he still favored Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao is nearly fifty years old and falls asleep late at night, Yang Guang knows her habits, so at this hour, she will drive Renshou Palace.

Knowing that Yang Guang was coming, Empress Xiao's face was calm, she did not show joy or sorrow, her expression was indifferent, and she just performed a harem ceremony according to the etiquette system.

Yang Guangping retired from the palace eunuch, helped Empress Xiao to sit down, and said with a hint of apology: "I always come here so late to disturb the queen's rest." ”

"Why did Your Majesty say that?" Empress Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is still thinking about the concubines so late, and it's too late for the concubines to be flattered, so why bother?" ”

"When have you ever been flattered by your temperament?" Yang Guang said with a smile.

Empress Xiao seems to have a demonic nature, which can calm people's hearts. Yang Guang only felt that after he entered Renshou Palace, the battle outside the imperial city could be completely forgotten.

Empress Xiao personally poured tea for Yang Guang and sent it to him, Yang Guang took it, took a sip, and put it aside.

"I summoned that kid Xuanba to Luoyang." Yang Guang patted his side and motioned for Empress Xiao to sit down, and Empress Xiao obediently sat beside Yang Guang.

"The concubine knows, Ling'er has already told the concubine." After Empress Xiao sat down, with a hint of regret, she said: "That child is really miserable, he is already lacking in wisdom and morality, and now even his body is ruined. ”

Referring to Yang Ling, Yang Guang sighed: "Ling'er, this kid, went to Hedong once, and when he came back, he was no longer angry, do you know the reason?" ”

"The concubine asked, if the concubine didn't guess wrong, it should be that Zhongyongwei knelt down when he saw her, disappointing her." Empress Xiao replied: "The loyal and brave guard in Ling'er's heart is still him two years ago, speaking of which, the concubines haven't seen him for a long time. ”

"Xuanba has lost his memory of the past, let's familiarize him with it for a while." Yang Guang thought for a while and said: "He doesn't even remember me now, he looks cautious in front of me, I'm afraid that you will only feel sad when you see him." ”

Empress Xiao nodded, recalling the picture of that year in her mind.

Yang Xuangan sent troops to surround Luoyang, and even blocked all the city gates, Empress Xiao held Yang Ling in one hand and Yang Gao in the other, standing on the city wall, encouraging the defenders of Luoyang.

In addition to boosting the morale of the defenders, Empress Xiao also had a plan, that is, once the city gate was broken, she would take Yang Ling and Yang Gao to jump off the city wall.

The city wall was full of clan dignitaries, and many people had begun to sobb quietly, but most of them were staring at the people and horses outside the city.

Li Xuanba rode a horse, stood outside the Dingding Gate, held a hammer in each hand, and rushed to the crown in anger, facing Yang Xuangan's tens of thousands of troops. There was only one person, and tens of thousands of people were scared and didn't dare to take a step forward.

Yang Xuangan knew that without further ado, he ordered the entourage generals to kill Li Xuanba, but as soon as each general arrived in front of Li Xuanba, he was crippled by Li Xuanba with one hammer and killed with two hammers.

afterward

"Queen, do you think about the events of the year again?" Yang Guang took Empress Xiao into his arms, wiped away her tears, and said: "I understand, you have always regarded Xuanba as a benefactor, and Xuanba has become like this now, you feel uncomfortable. ”

Empress Xiao glanced up at Yang Guang and asked, "Your Majesty, do you plan to keep him in Luoyang all the time?" ”

"Although the Wan family loves him, they may not be able to protect him thoroughly, so staying in Luoyang can make me feel at ease." Yang Guang nodded and said: "It just so happens that he has been blessed by misfortune and has his senses, so let him stay by King Zhao's side, first, to learn knowledge, secondly, to let him be closer to Gao'er, and the third reason, not to mention that you should also be clear." ”

"The concubine understands." Empress Xiao lowered her head, sighed and said, "It's still up to the fate of the children." Seeing Yang Guang's tired face, he said softly: "The concubine will wait for Your Majesty to go to bed." ”
