Yang Yong, the king of Fangling, was the eldest son of Gaozu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, because of the military exploits of Sui Taizu, he was named the Marquis of Boping.

When Gaozu assisted the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was made the prince, awarded the general, Zuo Siwei, and was named the Duke of Changning County.

He served as the governor of Luozhou, Tokyo Otsuka Zai, and governed the territory of the former Qi State.

Later, he was recalled to the capital, promoted to Shangzhu State, Da Sima, and concurrently served as the Imperial Emperor of the Inner History, and the Praetorian Guards in the capital were all under his control.

After Gaozu got the throne, he became the crown prince, and Yang Yong was allowed to participate in the decision on the country's military affairs and political affairs with Shang Shu on matters below the capital crime.

Because most of the people east of the Kushan Mountains moved around, Gaozu sent special envoys to investigate, and planned to immigrate to the northern border fortress.

Yang Yong wrote to advise him, and Gaozu approved his suggestion and stopped the matter of immigration.

Since then, the government has not gone well, and there are many profits and losses, and Gaozu has adopted his opinions.

Gaozu once said to his ministers: "The previous king, the person who doted on the pampered, and the matter of abolishing the crown prince arose from it."

I have no other concubines, and my five sons are born to the same mother, so to speak, true brothers.

It's like the previous kings had many favored concubines, and the sons born to you fought for me, this is the road to the death of the country! "Yang Yong is very studious, well-versed in writing words, generous and benevolent by nature, gentle and kind, casual and willful, and has no pretentious behavior.

Recruit Ming Kerang, Yao Cha, Lu Kaiming and others as friends.

Yang Yong once carved patterns on the Shu armor, and Gao Zu was a little unhappy when he saw it, afraid that he would gradually form a habit of luxury, so he warned him: "I heard that the way of heaven is not nepotism, only for the virtuous king, throughout the previous emperors, none of them can rely on luxury and luxury to get the world for a long time."

As the crown prince, if you do not obey the will of heaven and conform to the will of the people, why should you take on the heavy responsibility of ruling the country and be above the people? I kept one of each of my old clothes and ornaments, and I looked at them from time to time, and warned myself.

Today I will give you the waist knife, you should know my intentions. Later, on the winter solstice, the officials worshipped Yang Yong, and Yang Yong asked the band to play music to meet them.

After Gaozu found out, he asked the courtiers: "Recently, I heard that on the day of the Winter Solstice Festival, the ministers inside and outside the palace came to the East Palace one after another to worship, what is the etiquette?" "Too often Shaoqing Xin.. He replied, "Greeting in the East Palace cannot be said to be a pilgrimage." Gao Zu said: "Congratulations on the change of seasons, only three or five or ten people, each of whom voluntarily goes, why is it invited by the relevant departments to gather, and they will gather together for a while, and the prince will arrange for the band to receive them in a ceremonial dress?" It is really against etiquette for the East Palace to do this. Since then, his love for Yang Yong has begun to decay, and there has gradually been an estrangement.

At that time, Gaozu ordered the selection of guards from the same sect to guard the palace.

Gao Qian suggested that if they all chose strong players, I was afraid that the guards in the East Palace would be too poor.

Gao Zu's face changed and said, "I sometimes act, and the guards must be strong and brave.

The prince is cultivating himself in the East Palace, how can he need strong hands around him? This is really an outdated law, and it does not conform to my intentions, if I were to make a ruling, fix the days of rotation on duty, and assign them to the East Palace, and the guard organization will not be separated, wouldn't it be a good thing? I am well aware of the regulations of the previous generation, and you don't have to still follow the old customs. Gao Zu suspected that Gao Gan's son had married Yang Yong's daughter and helped the prince speak, so he said this meaningfully to beware of him.

Yang Yong had many favored concubines, among whom the Zhaoxun Yun clan was particularly favored, and the etiquette used was close to that of a wife.

Yang Yong's concubine Yuan Shi could not be favored, and suffered from heartache, and died two days after the onset of the illness.

Empress Wen thought that there was something else and accused Yang Yong fiercely.

Later, Yun Zhaoxun dictated the inner palace of the crown prince, and the queen was even more dissatisfied, so she sent someone to secretly observe and find out Yang Yong's faults.

When King Jin learned about this, he pretended even more that the number of concubines did not exceed the prescribed number and only lived with Concubine Xiao.

Therefore, the queen treated Yang Yong lightly and praised the virtue of King Jin even more.

Later, when the king of Jin came to see him, he brought chariots and horses and attendants, all of whom were very frugal, and he treated the ministers of the court politely, and his etiquette was very humble, so he had a great reputation, surpassing other princes.

When he was about to return to Yangzhou, he went to the inner palace to say goodbye to the queen, and said: "Erchen will guard the distance, and I will be separated from you, and the attachment of Erchen is really condensed in my heart."

This time, I can't serve you anymore when I leave the capital, and I don't know when I will see you again. So he wept silently, and fell on his face on the ground, unable to get up.

The queen also said, "You are stationed in the place, and I am old again, and today is like a farewell." Tears also flowed, and the mother and son sobbed each other.

King Jin said: "I have seen stupidity and lowliness, and often follow the intentions of brotherly harmony, I don't know what mistakes have been made, I am not loved by the East Palace, and the eldest brother has been angry for a long time and wants to frame him.

I was often worried that the slander would come from the toss, and that the poisonous wine would come from the cup, so I was nervous and afraid of danger. The queen said angrily: "Seeing that the land is gradually intolerable, I married a woman from the Yuan family for him, hoping to prosper the foundation, but I have no normal husband and wife relationship with her, and blindly pamper Ah Yun, so that the Yuan family is like a pigs and dogs."

In the past, the daughter-in-law had no disease, but she died suddenly, and she was not sent to give medicine, so that she died.

It's already like this, and I can't pursue it, who knows how he would have such an idea on you? I'm still like this, how can I not bully you arbitrarily when I die? Whenever I think that there is no wife in the East Palace, and after the death of your father, you want your brother to bow to the children of the Yun family and ask what a great pain it must be! The king of Jin bowed down again, weeping incessantly, and the queen was equally sad.

After this separation, Yang Guang knew that the queen's mind was shifting and began to plot to seize the crown prince.

Zhang Heng was specially invited to give advice, and sent Bao Gongyu Wenshu to make friends with Yang Yue, so that he could explain his plans to Yang Su, the Duke of Yueguo, and tell the queen in detail.

Yang Su said in surprise: "I just don't know what the queen has planned?" It must be like you say, why shouldn't I do it. A few days later, Yang Su attended the banquet and secretly praised King Jin for his filial piety and frugality, similar to the emperor, in order to speculate on the queen's intentions.

The queen cried and said, "You are right.

My child is very filial, and every time he hears that the emperor and my envoys have come to Yangzhou, he will definitely go to the border to greet him.

When it comes to separation, there is no one who does not weep.

His bride was also lovely, and I sent a handmaid to go and often slept with them and ate with them.

Which elephant saw that the land was cut and sat face to face with the Yun clan, indulging in the banquet all day long, getting close to the villain, and unable to get along with his parents and brothers.

The reason why I feel even more sorry for him is because I always fear that he will be assassinated. Yang Su had already understood the meaning of his words, so he tried his best to denounce the prince for his lack of talent.

The queen gave Yang Su gold, and began to have plans to abolish Yang Yongli and Yang Guang.

Yang Yong knew their plan, and he was worried and scared, and he couldn't think about it.

I heard that Wang Fuxian, a native of Xinfeng, could divinate good fortune and evil, so he summoned him to the East Palace to ask him.

Wang Fuxian said: "Changhong passed through the gate of the East Palace, and the platinum star invaded the moon, which is a sign that the crown prince is about to be abolished." So he used five kinds of weapons of copper and iron to make a symbol to subdue people to ward off disasters, and made a small village of civilians in the back garden, the house was simple, and the prince often rested in the village, wearing coarse cloth clothes and mattresses, hoping to avoid disasters.

Gaozu knew that Yang Yong was very uneasy, and in Renshou Palace, he sent Yang Su to see Yang Yong.

When Yang Su arrived at the East Palace, he rested in the outhouse and did not enter Yang Yong's inner room, Yang Yong fastened his belt and waited for him, Yang Su deliberately did not go in for a long time to provoke Yang Yong.

Yang Yong resented him in his heart and showed dissatisfaction.

Yang Su returned to Renshou Palace, saying that Yang Yong was dissatisfied, and he was afraid that he would behave abnormally, and he hoped to observe and watch carefully.

Gao Zu listened to Yang Su's slander and was very suspicious.

The queen also sent people to observe the East Palace, and small things could be reported, exaggerating the facts, and making things out of nothing, constituting Yang Yong's sin.

Gaozu was confused by the treacherous remarks, so he alienated and suspected Yang Yong, so he arranged for people to observe the movement on the road from Xuanwumen to Zhidemen, and everything had to be reported at any time.

The guards of the East Palace, the guards above the guard officer, the roster is under the control of the guard office, and those who are strong are all transferred.

The king of Jin also sent Duan Da to secretly befriend Yang Yong's confidant Ji Wei in the East Palace, give him property, let him get the news of the prince, and tell Yang Su secretly.

So Yang Yong was blamed inside and outside the court, and his mistakes could be heard every day.

Duan Da threatened Ji Wei and said: "The emperor knows the sins of the East Palace, and I have received a secret edict and decided to abolish the crown prince."

If you can tell the situation, you can get great wealth. Ji Wei then agreed.

On September 26, Gaozu returned to the palace from Renshou Palace, and the next day, he went to Daxing Hall and said to his courtiers: "I have just arrived in the capital, and I should be happy, but for some reason, I am depressed?" Niu Hong, the secretary of the ministry, replied: "Because we are incompetent, we make the emperor depressed." "Gaozu had heard the rumors many times, and suspected that the ministers of the court knew the reason, so he deliberately asked this, hoping to hear about the prince's sins.

Niu Hong's answer was contrary to the intention of Gao Zu's questioning.

Gaozu changed his face because of this, and said to the ministers of the East Palace: "Renshou Palace is not far from here, but every time I return to the capital, it is heavily guarded, as if I have arrived in an enemy country.

I was so worried that I didn't dare to take off my clothes and go to bed.

I had to go to the toilet last night, and I used to live in the back room, and I was worried about accidents, and when I came back, I moved to the front hall, aren't you going to destroy my country? So Tang Lingze and others were arrested and handed over to the competent authorities for interrogation.

Ordered Yang Su to state Yang Yong's guilt and inform the ministers around him.

Yang Su announced: "I was ordered by the emperor to go to the capital and order the crown prince to check the remnants of Liu Jushi.

When the prince received the order, his voice was so fierce that even his flesh and bones seemed to tremble, and he said to me: 'Liu Jushi's henchmen have all been disposed of, where do you want me to find them?' As a right-hand servant, you have a lot of authority, and you have to investigate and punish them yourself, what does it have to do with me? And he said: 'If the great thing does not succeed, I will be the first to be killed.'

Now, as the Son of Heaven, I am inferior to my younger brothers.

Nothing can be done freely. So he sighed and said, 'I feel especially hindered.' Gaozu said: This child has long been unable to inherit the throne.

The queen often advised me to abolish him, because I was born in poverty, and he was the eldest son, and I hope that he will slowly correct and endure to this day.

Yang Yong came from Southern Yanzhou in the past and said to King Wei: "It's a pity that my mother didn't choose a good woman for me." He also pointed to the queen's maids and said, "It's all mine for the future." How ridiculous that is.

As soon as his ex-wife died, he used a very small tent to house the remaining old women, and as soon as the bride died, I suspected that he had sent Ma Siming to kill him with poison.

When I asked him, he said angrily, "There is a chance to kill Yuan Xiaoju." "It's just to kill me and make others angry.

At first, after the birth of the eldest grandson, King Changning, I hugged him with the queen, and Yang Yong himself had a grudge in his heart, and sent people to go back continuously.

Besides, Yun Dingxing's daughter was born by him living with someone outside, thinking about this origin, why must he be his biological son? In the past, the prince of the Jin Kingdom married a woman from Tu'angu, and the children liked to slaughter it.

Now, if we are not decent people, we will mess up our country.

There is also Liu Jinma.., a traitorous villain, called Yun Dingxing is in-laws, and Dingxing is a stupid person, who accepted his request.

I dismissed Liu Jinma some time ago, and that's why.

Yang Yong once invited Cao Miaoda and Yun Dingxing's daughter to have a banquet together, and Miaoda said to people outside: "I was able to persuade the princess to drink today." Just because his sons were born to a partial house, he was afraid that others would not accept him, so he indulged them and wanted to get the support of the people of the world.

Although I am not as virtuous as Yao and Shun, I can't hand over the people of the world to children with bad conduct.

I have always been afraid that he will harm me, such as guarding against the great enemy, and today I am determined to abolish him and stabilize the world.

General of the Left Guard, Wuyuan A.D.. He said: "The abolition of the establishment is a major event, and the words of the Son of Heaven cannot be changed, and it will be too late to regret the holy decree."

There is no standard for false accusations, and I hope Your Majesty will see it. "Meta .. His words were upright, he argued with reason, and his voice was fierce, but the emperor did not answer him.

At this time, Ji Wei wrote a letter to sue the prince for violating the law.

Gaozu said to Ji Wei: "Everything the prince has done should be said." Ji Wei replied: "The crown prince has told me many times that he only wants to be arrogant and extravagant, and wants to go from Yanchuan to Sanguan as a pleasure garden.

He also said: 'In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was preparing to build Shanglin Yuan, and Dongfang Shuo persuaded him to reward Dongfang Shuo with a hundred catties of gold, how ridiculous.

Indeed, I have no gold for you.

If there is a person who admonishes, he should be cut off, but if he kills a hundred people, he will naturally be pacified forever. Not long ago, Su Xiaoci was relieved of the left guard, and the prince raised his beard and waved his arms and said: "There will be a day when the eldest husband will never forget him, and he will definitely make me satisfied." Moreover, when the Shangshu did not give him most of the things he asked for in the palace, according to the regulations, he became angry and said, 'I will kill one or two of the officials below the servant, so that the people will know the calamity of neglecting me.' And he built a small city in the garden, and all year round the labors of the city could not cease, and the pavilions that were built were built in the morning and changed in the evening.

often said: 'The emperor blames me for having a lot of partial houses, Gao Wei and Chen Shubao must be evil sons?' The old witch once told me that the emperor's taboo was eighteen years, and the deadline was almost up. Gao Zu said with tears in his eyes: "Who is not born of his parents, it is so hateful."

I have an old maid from the past, and when she was sent to visit the East Palace, she said to me, 'Don't let the King of Quang Binh go to the residence of the crown prince, the East Palace hates me, and it was the King of Quang Binh who taught him this.' Yuan Zan also knew about the prince's danger, and advised me to send two additional guards to the east of the treasury on the left.

After the pacification of Chen Guo, the palace maids were all arranged to be in the palace, but I heard that he was not satisfied, and he was still looking for it outside.

I recently read "Book of Qi" and saw Gao Huan indulging his son, I was very angry, how could I follow his bad practices! As a result, Yang Yong and his children were imprisoned, and some of his henchmen were arrested.

Yang Su played with words, treacherously slandered, and fabricated charges to constitute a wrongful imprisonment.

Yang Yong failed as a result.

A few days later, according to Yang Su's intentions, the relevant departments wrote to Gaozu that Zuo Wei Guanyuan... As an imperial guard, he often serves Yang Yong secretly, has deep feelings, and secretly entrusts him.

In Renshou Palace, Pei Hong sent Yang Yong's letter to Yuan at the imperial court, and the words "Don't let people see it" were written on the letter.

Gao Zu said: "I'm in Renshou Palace, even the small things in the East Palace must know, faster than the stagecoach, I think it's been strange for a long time, could it be that this guy is doing it?" "Order the samurai to arrest Moto... and Pei Hong, handed over to law enforcement for punishment.

Before this, Yang Yong had come back from Renshou Palace to see Greetings, and on the way he saw a withered locust tree, with intertwined roots and knots, tall and thick enough for five or six people to hug him, he looked around at the attendant and said, "What kind of utensils can this tree be used for?" Someone replied, "The locust tree is especially capable of making fire." At that time, the guards all wore flints, and Yang Yong ordered the craftsmen to make thousands of them, ready to give them to the guards around him.

By this time, they were all in the warehouse.

In addition, the department specializing in the collection of medicine stored a few mugwort, and they were also searched.

The judicial department thought it was strange, so they came to ask Ji Wei.

Ji Wei said: "The prince wants these things with ulterior motives.

He successively sent people below the king of Changning to come back after paying homage to Renshou Palace, and each time they acted quickly, they arrived overnight.

Usually feed a thousand horses, and say that if you take a shortcut to the city gate to catch them, you will naturally starve to death. Yang Su questioned Yang Yong with Ji Wei's words, Yang Yong was unconvinced and said: "I heard that your family has tens of thousands of horses, and I am also the prince, raising a thousand horses, is this a rebellion?" Yang Su also found the items for wearing and playing in the East Palace, which seemed to be carved and decorated, and displayed them in the court and displayed them to the civil and military officials as evidence of the prince's crime.

Gaozu sent someone to show these things to Yang Yong to criticize him.

The queen also rebuked Yang Yong for his sins.

Gaozu sent an envoy to question Yang Yong, but Yang Yong was not convinced.

Taishi ordered Yuan Chong to speak to Gaozu: "I observe the celestial phenomena, and the crown prince should be abolished." Gao Zu said: "The celestial phenomena have been shown a long time ago, but the ministers did not dare to speak." So he sent an envoy to summon Yang Yong.

Yang Yong saw the envoy and said in horror: "Do you have to kill me?" "Gaozu dressed in military uniform, set up guards, went to the Wude Palace, summoned a hundred officials, asked them to stand in the east, the princes stood in the west, let Yang Yong and his children stand in the middle of the hall in turn, and ordered Xue Daoheng to read out the edict abolishing Yang Yong.

handed over Yang Yong to the Ministry of Internal History, established Yang Guang, the king of Jin, as the crown prince, handed Yang Yong over to him, and imprisoned Yang Yong in the East Palace.

Yang Subu was rewarded with 3,000 horses, Yuan Zhou and Yang Yue each had 1,000 horses, and Yang was invincible with 500 satins, all of which were rewarded for reviewing Yang Yong's merits.

At that time, Wen Linlang Yang Xiaozheng wrote to persuade him: "The crown prince was harmed like this by a villain, and he should be taught and should not be dismissed and abolished." Gao Zu was furious and whipped him in the chest.

Soon Governor Pei Su said: "Yang Yong has been removed for his crimes for a long time, and he should be reformed and given a small country." Gaozu realized that Yang Yong was deposed and could not be understood by people, so he summoned Pei Su to the imperial court and stated in detail the reasons for the abolition.

Yang Yong, who thought that there were no crimes that had been abolished, repeatedly asked to see the emperor and complain in person.

But the new prince stopped him and couldn't make him say it to his face.

Yang Yong climbed on the tree and shouted loudly, hoping that the emperor would hear it and summon him.

Yang Su said to the emperor: "Yang Yong is delirious, possessed by ghosts, and can no longer be accepted. Gao Zu thought that he was right, and he didn't meet in the end.

Yang Su framed people and played tricks to constitute the sins of others.

Gaozu was seriously ill and bedridden in Renshou Palace, and asked the prince Yang Guang to enter the palace to serve, but Yang Guang arbitrarily disturbed the palace, and the matter reached Gaozu, Gaozu supported him on the bed and said: "Wrong to abolish my Yong'er!" Therefore, he sent someone to find Yang Yong, but before he could send an envoy, Gaozu died suddenly, and Yang Guang concealed it and did not mourn.

Liu Shu and Yuan Yan were immediately arrested, imprisoned in Dali Prison, forged the edict of Gaozu, and ordered Yang Yong to be executed.

Posthumously crowned Yang Yong as the king of Fangling. (To be continued.) )
