257 The Story of the Prince

Su You followed Lai Hu'er to the study, and after the two sat down, Lai Hu'er poured tea for the two.

Su You wanted to grab the teapot but was afraid of burning the two of them, so he had to hurriedly admit it, "This kind of thing should be done by the son-in-law, let the son-in-law come." ”

Lai Hu'er is the general who leads the troops, he is close to the age of sixtieth at this time, but he is strong and powerful in his hands, and he has already poured the tea steadily when he speaks; He handed Su You half a lamp, and then raised his own half, Fang said, "Little girl Yanbei will be handed over to you from now on, the two of you must be considerate of each other, respect and love each other." ”

Su You nodded, he had heard this on the wedding day, and he seemed to have heard it just now, but he still hurriedly agreed, "Father-in-law, please rest assured, the son-in-law must use his life to protect her and not let her suffer a little grievance." ”

Laihu'er smiled, the two of them said the same point at all, right? What he said was to dilute the internal contradictions between the two, but Su You vowed to work hard to fight against external contradictions.

Laihu'er put down the teacup and said, "Your Majesty sent you to investigate Zhang Xin's matter, and he has already informed me, but he means to let you travel in micro-clothes, can you understand what it means?" Also, today's court meeting has passed the resolution of His Majesty to recommend you as the imperial historian, but the four orders of Yanbei have not been passed, and the main obstructive force is still the group of Guanlong people led by Yang Wensi Yuanshou. ”

Su You nodded, when he took over the task from Yang Guang the day before yesterday, he realized that this was not a team task, and the southeast copy of this year ago could only be brushed alone, speaking of which Zhang Xin's move to set up a private checkpoint in the canal can be regarded as a crime of his main plot - attracting investment.

Zhang Xin's poisonous weed is going to be pulled out, and the next thing is naturally to go to various places in the southeast to inspect the market, although these things are not urgent, but they are not achieved overnight, he can't take hundreds of people aimlessly in the field to celebrate the New Year, right?

As for the matter of coming to Yanbei Sipin's fate, Su You felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

After Su Wei was demoted to a commoner because of Gao Gong's involvement in Yulin, his position of acceptance was cheapened by Yang Wensi, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and as for Yuanshou, the internal servant, he can be regarded as an old leader before Su You

Where did you offend them?

Seeing that Su You was a little annoyed and angry but didn't know where to start, Lai Hu'er couldn't help but sigh and said, "They oppose Yanbei, probably because she is my daughter, and I can see that Guan Long's gang is now idle to bite people." ”

Su You asked cautiously, "I heard that Zhang Xin, whom His Majesty asked me to investigate, is the clan brother of the great general Zhang Jin?" I don't know how my father-in-law taught me? ”

"Now that you are my son-in-law, there are some things that I don't think need to hide from you; I will tell you a secret story of the court, but it can only come out of my mouth and into your ears. Laihu'er picked up the tea bowl again, and thought about the boss for a while before speaking.

Su You looked at his solemn appearance, he didn't dare to make a mistake, and said busily, "Father-in-law, please speak." ”

"The summer of three years ago, the summer of the fourth year of Renshou, was the hottest summer in history, and it was only the end of March, and the weather was already like the height of summer in previous years. That day was March 26, the first emperor suddenly wanted to go to Renshou Palace on a whim to escape the summer, the warlock Zhang Qiu Taiyi persuaded him bitterly, saying that 'Your Majesty Xià can't go to Renshou Palace, I am afraid that there will be no return', the first emperor was angry, and then put the warlock into prison, and then went to Renshou Palace" to protect the valve of memory, and said slowly.

When Su You heard Laihu'er say March 26, he couldn't help but be stunned, that day was his and Yunfan's birthday, and it was also his first day in this world; In his original time and space, a poet named Haizi lay down on the railroad tracks outside Shanhaiguan and began to walk towards heaven to find his spring blossoms.

Unexpectedly, in this time and space, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian also disappeared from that day.

"After the first emperor arrived at Renshou Palace, he was really ill, and he regretted not listening to the warlock at this time, but he also knew that he was about to die, so he called the important ministers of the court one by one to make a final farewell; During this period, he granted amnesty to the world several times, but he lacked the skills to return to heaven and slowly fell into dying. ”

Su You, who met with important ministers or something, didn't know, but he remembered that on the day he first entered Chang'an City, on the fourth day of the sixth month, Yang Jian happened to give amnesty to the world.

Until one day, when the first emperor met Liu Shu, Liu Shu knocked on the side and said about Yang Yong, the hidden prince; The first emperor thought about the relationship between father and son, and after thinking about it, he finally nodded and agreed to meet his eldest son for the last time."

Liu Shu? Hidden Prince Yang Yong?

Of course, these two people will not be strangers to Su You.

Liu Shu is nearly forty years old, he is the concubine of Princess Lanling, not only the official worship of the Ministry of Justice, but also the secretary of the Ministry of War, he is really a very powerful minister in the court, but after Su You arrived in this era, he was like an epiphany, and instantly withered.

As for the hidden prince Yang Yong, Yang insisted that the emperor had been canonized, and he was not abolished until the 20th year of the emperor's reign, which is a full 20 years of being the crown prince; He has a generous and easy-going personality, and is especially a corporal of courtesy, and is deeply supported by the ministers of the court and the famous people of the family.

Unfortunately, like many second-generation heirs of dynasties, he did not end up on the throne, but ended in tragedy.

Princes like him include Fusu of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Ying of the Former Han Dynasty, Li Jiancheng of the Tang Dynasty, Dezhao of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Biao of the Ming Dynasty, and Mao of the Later Qing Dynasty

But Yang Yong's tragedy is caused by his character and governing philosophy, if it is the Han or Tang, or even any dynasty except Sui, Yang Yong will be a virtuous monarch, and everyone expects him, but he was born in the Sui Dynasty.

From the founding of the country to the collapse of the final edifice, the war ran through the entire history of the Great Sui.

Yang Yongwen's weak shoulders cannot bear the changes of this special era, the division of the world for 400 years, the change of countless short-lived dynasties, the social pattern of strong Hu and weak Han, and the hostility and confrontation between the north and the south of the river; There are also the family of gate valves who stand tall with the imperial court, the deep-rooted Jiupin Zhongzheng, the Guanlong magnates who are on a par with the imperial power, the Turkic Qianghu who are eyeing each other, the border turmoil one after another, and so on.

In the face of the crisis-ridden New Sui Empire, Yang Yong's leniency and easy-going attitude seemed inadequate, and he could only be a compromising monarch, but by no means a strong emperor who solved the crisis and forged ahead.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Jian finally chose Yang Guang, who was ambitious and experienced in battle, but he forgot that Yang Guang had been in Yangzhou for nearly ten years, and had been pacifying and governing the south, and there was no power in the DPRK; Yang Guang's forces were military and southern Chinese, and he had shallow roots in the imperial court.

Su You weighed the distribution of power among the courtiers at that time without a teacher, and further understood Yang Guang's situation at that time.

Lai Hu'er saw Su You nodded, thinking that he probably understood, so he said concisely, "The hidden prince Yang Yong has a kind personality, Corporal Lixian, and has been the prince for twenty years, there are still many people who have been favored by him. ”

When Su You heard Hu'er say this, he interjected, "Father-in-law is right, but isn't Your Majesty the same Corporal Lixian?" In the final analysis, I am afraid that the governing philosophy is different, the first emperor has all the acres of land in the world, and the act of reading the big Suo Maung has already violated the interests of the magnates in his eyes; If Prince Yin became the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that the national policy set by the first emperor will be loosened, and the imperial power will fall, and those Guanlong magnates will naturally become the first batch of vested interests. ”

Lai Yanbei nodded, and then said, "The virtuous son-in-law has analyzed it very reasonably, I'm afraid you have guessed the following story, that day was July 13."

Su You remembered that day, because Chang'an City had suffered heavy rain for seven or eight consecutive days since that day, which was really rare in a hundred years.

That afternoon, His Majesty was yawning in the pavilion to review the folds, and suddenly heard footsteps, but it was Yang Zhao, the king of Jin. The King of Jin is a little obese, and His Majesty has always been unwilling to see this son, but the King of Jin brought an important news at this time - when he entered Renshou Palace just now, he seemed to have met Yang Yong, the hidden prince, following Liu Shu into Renshou Palace. Laihu'er spoke eloquently about the scene of the day, as if he was at the scene.

Su You naturally guessed that Yang Yong still didn't meet Yang Jian in the end, at least that's what is written in the history books. - But history books often have nothing to do with the truth.

When later generations described this history, Yang Guang was molesting Yang Jian's Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua at that time, and what was even more puzzling was that Yang Guang actually failed to rape, and when he saw that the matter was revealed, he was so angry that he killed Yang Jian, who was so angry that he wanted to summon Yang Yong. - At least the "Zizhi Tongjian" known to Su You records this history,—— and next, there is the so-called concentric knot incident.

In fact, Yang Guang was also wary of Yang Yong, and after Yang Yong entered Renshou Palace, he was stopped by Yuwenshu.

But Yang Guang realized from the news that Yang Yong was brought to Renshou Palace by Liu Shu that the guards who were guarding Yang Yong were bought by Liu Shu, so he further realized the crisis - will the guards of Renshou Palace be bought by Liu Shu? If this is the case, he will not tamper with His Majesty's will and overkill himself?

"Your Majesty is not worried that Prince Yin will be able to see the first emperor, in fact, he has already guessed the possibility of this Prince Yin appearing in Renshou Palace, and he has already arranged for Yuwen Shu to block him at the palace gate, but he realized the turn brought about by Liu Shu, and immediately ordered Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, to find Yang Su to bring the East Palace Ten Rates to change guards, and to arrest Liu Shu Yuanyan and other rebels."

In the mouth of Laihu'er, Yang Guang's image is a little tall, at least you can see from it that he is a general who is not chaotic.

Lai Hu'er then said again, "After His Majesty asked the King of Jin to spread the news, he took the prince's servant Yu Wenhua and his left concubine Zhang Heng to the emperor's bedroom."

Su You nodded, on the surface, Yang Guang was in danger at this time, but it was really the most dangerous and helpless time, but at this time, Yu Wenhua was by his side, no wonder Yu Wenhua and he disobeyed him three times and twice in the future, but he was forgiven every time.

When the three of them went out, a physician came to report the news of the death of the first emperor. When His Majesty heard that he was the only one who knew the news, he immediately killed him with a sword, and then trotted all the way to the former emperor's bedroom, at this time there were only two things in his heart, that is, the jade seal of the country and the military talisman. When he said this, Laihu'er paused for a moment, and then said with a lingering heart,

"As His Majesty thought, at this time, the twenty squad leaders of the guards guarding in the Emperor's Bedroom have already been bought by Liu Shu."
