Chapter 513: Misfortune is not a one-way street
In recent days, Sui Gaozu Yang Jian has been a little restless. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info may be his old friend Wang Yi, the Duke of Yingguo, who conspired against the case, which came too suddenly, which made Yang Jian angry and couldn't help but feel a little disheartened in his heart, and at the same time mixed with a little regret and fear: I knew that Wang Yi was such a wolf-hearted person, and I really shouldn't have married my youngest daughter Yang Awu, who was still a child, to Wang Yi's son Wang Feng early, which almost ruined the life of my youngest daughter.
Yang Jian felt so afraid because he thought of Wang Yi's rebellion, and a person with whom Wang Yi had a deep personal relationship would still conspire to betray him, not to mention the hundreds of famous ministers and generals of the previous dynasty in Chang'an City? Who else can he trust in the future?
Although, long before Wang Yi's rebellion, he and Empress Dugu Jialuo decided to strike first and completely eliminate the anti-Sui forces hidden around him because of Yuwen Panruo's desire to raise troops to restore the incident, but once he found out that the first person who was involved in the case was actually his friend for many years, his in-law Wang Yi, Yang Jian still found it difficult to accept.
Unexpectedly, he just sent away the Turkic Shabalu Khan today, and then received a six-hundred-mile rush from Jiangling, saying that Xiao Yue, the lord of the Later Liang State who had a close friendship with him, had died.
After receiving this murderous letter, Yang Jian sat in the Linde Palace, looking at Yang Guang, the second son who entered the palace with the scouts from Jiangling, and after a long time, he said a sentence: "You go back and tell Er'er, and I will allow her to return to Jiangling for funeral." ”
"Father, please mourn. The lord of Houliang died, and who was the heir still needed the instructions of his father's edict to prevent the vacancy of the lord of Houliang and cause trouble. Yang Guang listened to Xiao Er talk about his life experience, knew that his father-in-law ruthlessly abandoned his wife when she was young and fostered her in another family, and had never met Xiao Yue, although he was shocked by Xiao Yue's death, but he was not as sad as Yang Jian, so he opened his mouth to remind Yang Jiandao.
"You can convey these things to your eldest brother, and ask him to draw up an edict designating Xiao Zong, the prince of Liang, to succeed to the throne, and submit it to me." Yang Jian commanded with rare tears.
Yang Guang was surprised by his father's abnormal behavior, he couldn't imagine why the monarch of a small vassal country died of illness, so that he had no intention of dealing with the government.
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Guangcai gently persuaded his father: "Please protect the dragon body of my father and mourn the change." I will go to the East Palace to convey my father's message to my eldest brother. ”
"Ah Zong, you have seen your eldest brother in the East Palace, don't be busy going back to the house first, go to your sixth uncle and the Taishi Mansion on behalf of me, and see if the two of them are getting better?"
At the beginning of Yang Guang's return to the dynasty, he heard that his sixth uncle, Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, and Li Hun's father, Li Muju, the imperial master of the dynasty, were seriously ill and had been bedridden for many days. It's just that because he has been busy with official business recently, he hasn't had time to take time to visit, at this time, listening to his father's explanation, and thinking that Xiao Yue is his wife Xiao E's biological father after all, his father first wants to go back to his house to report his wife's funeral, and then explain other messengers to do it for himself, his mind is clearly confused, so he glanced at Su Yi'er, who was accompanying him, and motioned Su Yi'er to help Yang Jian go back to rest, and then hurriedly walked out of the Linde Palace.
Standing under the corridor outside the Linde Hall and thinking for a while, Yang Guang decided to rush to the East Palace first, convey his father's message to the crown prince Yang Yong, and then return to the mansion to report Xiao E's funeral.
The crown prince Yang Yong was in the East Palace to discuss court affairs with Gao Ying and Yang Shangxi, and suddenly saw Yang Guang personally running to convey his father's edict to him, and he couldn't help but be surprised. After listening to Yang Guang's message to Yang Jian, he knew that it was because of the death of Xiao Yue, the lord of Later Liang, his father ordered him to draw up an edict for Xiao Zong's succession, and let out a long sigh, asked Yang Guang to sit down under his head, and asked with concern: "My father's spirit is okay, not too sad, right?" ”
"When the eldest brother deals with the affairs of the court in the East Palace, it is best to enter the palace and take a look. I'm really worried about my father's body. Yang Guang replied truthfully.
"Well, the same sons and daughters of the father, Wang Yi rebelled, Xiao Yue died, two things followed, and the father was afraid that he couldn't stand it." Yang Yong looked at Gao Ying, Yang Shangxi and others, and sighed sincerely.
Gao Ying, as the first assistant of the court, naturally thinks and worries differently from others, groans slightly, stands up, and arches his hand at Yang Yong and Yang Guang and says: "The prince, the king of Jin, Xiao Yue has recently passed away, and there is no owner in the Later Liang Kingdom, in order to prevent traitors from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, a certain suggestion should be that before the emperor designates Xiao Zong's edict to succeed to Jiangling, the governor of Xinzhou should be ordered to tighten his vigilance and be ready for battle. ”
"Yes, Xiao Yu has passed away, Xiao Zong has succeeded to the throne, and I don't know what changes will happen to Hou Liang Guozhong!" Yang Yong nodded, and responded with emotion, "Just act according to the advice of the high servant, but you must pass on the order of the governor of Xinzhou, without the edict of your father, not a soldier or a soldier can enter the territory of Houliang." ”
Yang Guang sat next to him, listening a little inexplicably, and secretly thought in his heart: Listening to the meaning of the words of the eldest brother and Gao Ying, it seems that Later Liang Guozhong will have an accident due to Xiao Yue's death, if this is the case, I have to stop Xiao Er to go back to Jiangling to mourn for his father.
The murder news of Xiao Yue's death was reported to Chang'an, and Xiao E, the princess of Jin, who was Xiao Yue's biological daughter, was not overly sad, but only set up a spiritual seat for her father in the main hall of the Jin Palace, and guarded the spirit for seven days with Yang Guang wearing linen and filial piety. However, as a sedan chair man, Xiao Yu, the prince of Houliang who lived in Chang'an with Xiao E, ignored his sister's strong opposition and insisted on rushing back to Jiangling to guard the tomb for his father.
As a result, for some reason, Yang Yong, the crown prince who temporarily took charge of the government on behalf of Yang Jian, couldn't help but say something, rejected Xiao Yu's request, and clearly instructed Yang Guang to take good care of Xiao Yu and not let him leave Chang'an.
A pair of children in Chang'an have different backgrounds and experiences, so it is just that they have adopted two different attitudes towards the death of their father Xiao Yue. What made Yang Guang most incomprehensible, and at the same time very anxious, was that his father, Yang Jian, had been ill since he received the news of Xiao Yue's death that day, and he had not been in the court for more than ten days.
Yang Guang thought about it repeatedly, but he never understood that no matter how good the relationship between Xiao Yue and his father was, after all, it was also the relationship between the emperor of the suzerainty and the monarch of the vassal country, and with his father's suspicious and somewhat cold character, how could he be sad and tired because of Xiao Yue's death, so that he couldn't afford to be sick.
At the same time, because his father was unexpectedly ill, he was unable to listen to the government for many days, so that even when Yang Guang was in the palace to serve his illness, he could not open his mouth to ask his father to issue an order, and transfer and resettle Shitai and Sima Luo to Qizhou together, so as to implement his own plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, test the true face of Shitai Xinyi, and tell him how not to be anxious.
In this eventful season, something even more unexpected happened.
