Chapter 552 Loyalty is Hard to Complete
Seeing that Yang Yichen didn't speak, Empress Dowager Xiao's pretty face showed a hint of relaxation, and stretched out her jade hand to her side, and the chamberlain also stepped forward to support her very cleverly, and helped her to the chair next to her and sat down. And Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Yang Yichen, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "General Yang! How did the Emperor treat you? β
Yang Yichen shouted in a deep voice: "The first emperor has the grace of knowing his ministers!" The ministers always remember the great kindness of the first emperor! Don't dare to forget! β
"Good! You're up! Empress Dowager Xiao waved her hand, and finally spoke, and Yang Yichen also took a deep breath, and then stood up from the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Immediately after, Empress Dowager Xiao said again: "General Yang! Since you still remember the kindness of the first emperor to you, it would be good! The mourning family has only two sons in this life, and now they are all no longer in the world, leaving three royal grandchildren, King Yan died in the Jiangdu Rebellion, and the acting king is still held hostage by Li Yuan in Chang'an, the death of King Yue, how can the mourning family turn a blind eye? In fact, the mourning family also knew that it was not General Yang who forced King Yue to death that day! And what is the situation in Luoyang now, the mourning family also knows it in their hearts! The mourning family never thought of tossing any big movements! I just want to know, who was the one who forced King Yue to death that day? β
Yang Yichen took a deep breath, it was obvious that Empress Dowager Xiao had already known about the coup d'Γ©tat that day, but she didn't know much about Liu Wenjing's forcing Yang Tong to death! This noble lady also knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to kill Wan He, so she could only retreat and kill the direct murderer who forced Yang Dong to death, which could be regarded as avenging her grandson! Yang Yichen opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say a word.
For Yang Yichen, it is not so easy to say Liu Wenjing's name! Although Yang Yichen was released from the prison for not long after, he also knew that Liu Wenjing was one of the most important strategists around Wan He! If Empress Dowager Xiao is determined to kill Liu Wenjing, Wan He will definitely not sit idly by, and when the time comes, Luoyang will only become more chaotic, which is contrary to Yang Yichen's idea of wanting to protect the Great Sui royal family! So Yang Yichen hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and refused to say anything!
Seeing Yang Yichen's appearance, Empress Dowager Xiao's face couldn't help but change, she didn't expect that Yang Yichen would still be so stubborn! Immediately, Empress Dowager Xiao snorted with a cold face: "It seems that General Yang has climbed the high branches, and there is no longer the kindness of the first emperor in his heart!" That's it! This Great Sui has fallen into such a field, and the so-called phoenix that has landed is not as good as a chicken! It is human nature for General Yang to find another way out! The mourning family was just crazy before, thinking that there would be people who would talk about this worthless kindness! It's ridiculous! General Yang must not take it to heart, in the future, the mourning family will rely on General Yang to support more! β
Empress Dowager Xiao sneered, and Yang Yichen's face was red and white, cloudy and uncertain. In the end, Yang Yichen's face was almost red, and suddenly, with a bang, he pulled out the saber on his waist! According to the original rules, the person who entered the palace must unload his weapons, but the current palace is different from the past, and no one Yang Yichen entered the palace to ask Yang Yichen to unload his weapons, and Yang Yichen himself was also so worried that he forgot about it. Now seeing Yang Yichen suddenly draw his sword, Empress Dowager Xiao and the chamberlain thought that Yang Yichen couldn't bear the ridicule, and they were annoyed and angry! Empress Dowager Xiao was immediately frightened, and the chamberlain also quickly stepped forward to block in front of Empress Dowager Xiao, exclaiming: "Yang Yichen! How daring! What do you want? β
Although the chamberlain's voice was very loud, but before Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to interrogate Yang Yichen, she had already sent everyone away, and no one could hear the movement here at all. After Yang Yichen pulled out his sword, he snorted and directly thrust the sword into the ground, and then took off the helmet on his head, and with a bang, he knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Xiao! Immediately afterwards, Yang Yichen gently put the helmet in front of him again, and shouted in a deep voice: "The minister lost his father when he was young, and he was able to foster him in the palace because of Emperor Wen's favor, and then Emperor Wen took care of him, gave him the surname of the country, and entrusted him with important tasks. The first emperor is even more reused! The minister's loyalty to the Great Sui can be learned from heaven and man! Today, the Queen Mother said that the ministers are selfish, and the ministers have no way to argue! Emperor Wen gave the surname, the first emperor gave the knight, and the ministers were already shameless! Today, please ask the Queen Mother to take back Emperor Wen and the first emperor together! After speaking, Yang Yichen knelt down and pulled the sword from the ground, raised it above his head, and engraved a vermilion "Yang" character on the spine of the sword!
Yang Yichen's words made Empress Dowager Xiao's face immediately turn pale, and she remembered that this Yang Yichen's surname was Wei Chi, and he was the son of Wei Chi Chong, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty! And Wei Chi Chong was the subordinate of Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Great Sui back then, and he had the merit of founding the country from the dragon to the Great Sui! It's just that later Wei Chi Chong died with the army attacking the Turks, and the young Wei Chi Yichen was also included in the palace by Yang Jian, and later gave Wei Chi Yichen the surname and changed his name to Yang Yichen! I heard that at that time, Yang Jian specially engraved his sword with a Yang character and gave it to Yang Yichen, and at the same time ordered the sect to write Yang Yichen into the royal family genealogy and become Yang Jian's imperial grandson! At the beginning, Yang Guang took Yang Yichen into the prison, not only because Yang Yichen was unfavorable in battle, but also because Yang Yichen's fame was too great, which had an impact on his throne! And now Yang Yichen suddenly handed back the sword given by Emperor Wen Yang Jian, how could Empress Dowager Xiao dare to accept it?
Empress Dowager Xiao blushed, staring at Yang Yichen in front of her, and after a long time, she took a deep breath, and then snorted coldly: "General Yang! What do you mean? β
Yang Yichen really didn't mean to coerce Empress Dowager Xiao, and now he is caught in the middle, which is really uncomfortable! However, he was dedicated to the Great Sui, but he was not recognized by the Empress Dowager Xiao, which also made Yang Yichen's heart like ashes, so he had the idea of putting everything away. Yang Yichen held his sword high, lowered his head and said, "Queen Mother! Minister, the grass people have no other intentions! Up to now, the grass people can also clearly say that His Royal Highness the King of Yue died that day, although it was not the grass people who forced it, but the grass people were also sitting and watching! The grass people are ashamed of Emperor Wen and the first emperor! I don't have the shame to bear the surname of Da Sui anymore! Now I implore the Queen Mother to take back all this, and also return the grass people to a quiet place! β
"You! How daring! Seeing Yang Yichen so stubborn, Empress Dowager Xiao's face suddenly became even darker with anger, clenching her silver teeth, her apricot eyes opened slightly, and there was a trace of anger in her eyes, a pair of jade hands tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, and even the bones were about to protrude! But she couldn't do anything to Yang Yichen, and she didn't dare to take Yang Yichen's sword! For a while, this atmosphere was deadlocked here!
"Bold! How dare you break into this place! Suddenly, from outside the palace, there was a faint sound of shouting, and immediately after, there was a burst of military boots and the crisp sound of weapons colliding! This sudden sound also made the Empress Dowager Xiao and the attendant are faces change greatly, but Yang Yichen has been kneeling on the ground, this is the palace, Yang Yichen doesn't believe that anyone dares to mess around here. Besides, Yang Yichen already knows who is coming!
"Hahahaha! Empress! Weichen will see Niangniang for many days, it is really a crime that deserves death, and please forgive Niangniang! Soon, there was a laugh from outside the palace gate, and then, the palace door that had been closed before was pushed open, and I saw Wan He wearing court clothes, and Zhu Muwu, Pei Xingyan, two generals and more than ten personal soldiers behind him, just broke in directly. After entering the main hall, Wan He glanced at the appearance of Empress Dowager Xiao and Yang Yichen in the main hall, first smiled, and then showed a look of surprise, and said: "Ah! General Yang! You're here too! Hehe! It's really a place in life where we don't meet! β
"Where don't we meet in life...... Yang Yichen silently recited this poem, but his eyes couldn't help but light up, as if some problem that had plagued him for a long time had been solved, and his face also showed a relaxed expression, and then, Yang Yichen didn't pay attention to Wan He, and directly put the sword carefully next to the helmet, and knocked the sword and helmet nine times in a row, then stood up and said to the Empress Dowager Xiao: "Queen Mother! The grass people are now returning the surname given by Emperor Wen and the knighthood given by the first emperor to the Great Sui! Today's grass people are no longer Yang Yichen, the doctor of Zuo Guanglu of the Great Sui, and the grass people are just a civilian lieutenant Chi Yichen! β
Hearing Yang Yichen, no, it was Wei Chi Yichen's words, Empress Dowager Xiao's face suddenly became unusually pale, and she suddenly realized what a stupid thing she had done! And just when she was about to open her mouth to stop Yu Chi Yichen, Yu Chi Yichen turned around and walked directly towards the palace gate, without even glancing at Wan He!
Wan He saw Yu Chi Yichen's lonely expression, and he didn't pursue Yu Chi Yichen's intentions, and directly waved his hand, which was to signal Zhu Muwu and Pei Xingyan to make way for him, and directly let Yu Chi Yichen leave the hall. And immediately after, Wan He turned his head again, looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao, who seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and shook her head gently. Empress Dowager Xiao summoned Wei Chi Yichen, just after Yang Lu ran to tell Wan He, Wan He hurriedly came with someone, and Wan He also understood Empress Dowager Xiao's intentions! Empress Dowager Xiao wants to avenge her grandson, which is understandable in itself, but Wan He will not sit idly by and watch Liu Wenjing be killed by Empress Dowager Xiao, so Wan He will bring someone to stop it!
But looking at this situation now, I'm afraid that Empress Dowager Xiao didn't get what she wanted, but forced Wei Chi Yichen to centrifuge! Wei Chi Yichen can be regarded as the last person in Luoyang City who is loyal to the royal family of the Great Sui, and for Empress Dowager Xiao, this time it can be regarded as stealing chickens and rice!
