Chapter 481: Edict of Succession
After writing the edict, Yang Guang closed his eyes and pondered.
Two months of sleep was too long, and he didn't know anything about the situation outside. But faintly, he still noticed a hint of something unusual. After he woke up just now, he issued an edict to summon the six departments of the three provinces and the generals of the commanders, but it was Yang Yong, the king of Liao, who he did not summon. Especially seeing Yu Shiji, Pei Renji, Xiao Yu, Yang Yichen and other ministers who came with Yang Yun, Yang Guang felt more and more uneasy.
Yang Yun was once the prince of Yang Guang who was deliberately cultivated after losing the crown prince Yang Zhao and wanted him to inherit the crown prince. It's a pity that his performance disappointed him too much, and when he was the only prince, when he handed over all the subordinate officials of the East Palace to him, the reaction he showed disappointed him to the extreme.
Even sometimes Yang Guang thinks that even if Yang Mian can perform a little better, he will still let him inherit his throne, after all, he is his only son. Throughout the ages, before any emperor succeeded to the throne, he was not frightened and cautious. Even back then, in order to win the crown prince, it took a lot of effort and countless means to win the crown prince.
But Yang Jian is good, as his only son, he has such excellent conditions, not only does he not cherish it, but he is so unbearable. And before he let him go to Liaodong, his performance also made him dissatisfied. Last time in Yanmen, he had 30,000 soldiers, but he cowardly hid in Lao County and refused to rescue, which made Yang Guang have no good impression of this son.
Now that the prince is missing, he also knows his own current situation, even if he wakes up this time, how long can he last? He had to find an heir to carry on his legacy. But do you want him to hand over the Great Sui he has worked so hard to to Yang Jun like this?
He is unwilling, even if Yang Jun is his only son now, he is not reconciled.
But when Yang Jian came to see him today, it made him feel faintly uneasy. He knew how he came to the throne back then, and in the face of this tempting supreme throne, there was no brotherly righteousness. What a father-son relationship. Seeing that Yu Shiji and others followed Yang Jun closely just now, he already understood that Yang Jun must have gathered the support of many ministers. A Yang Jun is just an incompetent person, and he doesn't look down on it at all. But if Yang Yong gathers many ministers around him, then this is a dangerous power group.
Thinking about it, Yang Guang's brows furrowed tightly.
Yang Guang opened his eyes and looked left and right, and at this time, in the dormitory, only a few palace maids were left to sit aside and fan him. At a glance, he saw that these people were familiar palace maids. And the strange chamberlains just now were not in the house at this time.
Recruit a palace maid. Yang Guang picked up the pen and quickly wrote down a few words and handed them to the palace maid.
The palace maid glanced at it a few times, but it said, "Quickly summon King Yan!" ”
The palace maid nodded and left in a hurry.
After a while, the palace maid really secretly avoided the chamberlains arranged by King Liao and brought King Yan to the palace.
King Yan is the eldest grandson of Yang Guang and the eldest son of the late Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande. That is, the nephew of Zuo Xiaowei's general Yun Dingxing. Yan Wang Yang Qi was only fourteen years old at this time, but he was very tall, polite, and very fatherly. Since he was a child, he has been deeply loved by Yang Guang and has always been by his side, and when the prince Yang Gao was not born in the early years, he was even more favored. It's just that Yang Guang himself gave birth to the prince Yang Gao again. In recent years, Yang Qi has also grown. Although he was not as favored as he was in his early years, he was still very valued by Yang Guang. Wherever you go, you have to take it with you. At this time, Yang Qi's three brothers, the second brother Yang Tong was in Luoyang, and the third brother Yang Yu was in Chang'an, and he was the only one who had been driving with him.
At this time, the news of Yang Guang's awakening was only known to a few people in Jinyang Palace, and Yang Qi in Jinyang Palace did not know. When he was just brought by this palace maid, he was still a little hesitant. But he never thought that as soon as he came in, he found that the imperial grandfather, who had been in a coma for two months, had woken up. At this time, he was looking at him carefully. Unconsciously shed tears for a while, Yang Guang couldn't help but be excited when he looked at this beloved eldest grandson.
"Grandpa Huang, you're awake."
Yang Guang nodded, stretched out his right hand that could still move, and gently stroked a few handfuls of his grandson's face. Looking at this still childish face, my heart is full of sustenance and expectation. After being silent and hesitating for a long time, Yang Guang finally made up his mind.
Reaching out to pick up the pen, Yang Qi saw that the emperor's grandfather was lifting the pen. Busy kneeling in front of the couch to grind the ink with his own hands.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict: Yan Wang's eldest grandson, the noble character, Xiao Zhen, will be able to inherit the throne of the emperor!" …,
A paragraph that is not too long is written in just two lines.
Yang Qi, who was grinding ink next to him, couldn't help but glance at it, but at this glance, his complexion had changed greatly. He never thought of it. The emperor's grandfather actually made an edict of succession, and this edict of succession was actually passed on to himself. For a moment, my heart was churning. Just kneeling there dumbfounded.
After Yang Guang wrote this edict, he asked the palace maid to bring her own seal to stamp. In the end, he asked the palace maid to bring the jade seal of the country, as long as the jade seal of the country was stamped again, then this is a legal edict of succession. Yang Guang was already a little uneasy in his heart at this time, although he planned to edict those ministers later, personally appoint Yang Qi as the crown prince in front of them, and then make an edict. But he was only afraid that there would be extraneous branches, so he planned to quietly write this edict to King Yan first.
The palace maid knelt there and whispered, "Your Majesty, when you were in Taiyuan City, the jade seal was personally carried by the queen mother. Later, the mother disappeared, and the jade seal disappeared together, and has not been seen since. ”
When Yang Guang heard that the jade seal was gone, his eyes were terrifying for a while, but in the end, he could only shake the half of his face for a while, and then he could only do it.
After writing the edict of succession, Yang Guang picked up the pen again, "The emperor's eldest grandson, Yan Wang, is now the emperor's grandson, and he sent Su Wei, Li Yuan, Pei Shiju, Yun Dingxing, Fan Zigai, Wang Shichong, Wei Wensheng, Yu Wenhua, and the eight ministers of Gu Ming, and they are dedicated to assisting and praising all government affairs. ”
The eight ministers he finally selected were the result of thinking about it for a long time. There are not only the old prime minister Su Wei at the time of the first emperor, but also the powerful minister Li Yuan, the emperor Li Yuan, and Pei Shiju such as Pei Shiju, plus King Yan's own uncle Zuo Xiaowei general Yun Dingxing, and finally he added Wang Shichong, the minister of real power with heavy troops, plus the loyal old minister Fan Zigai, and the representative of the Guanlong family, Yu Wenhua and Hewei Wensheng. These eight people can be said to represent all the forces in the DPRK and China today, and Yang Guang believes that with the help of these people, Yang Qi will definitely be able to sit firmly in the country.
Yang Qi was still in shock, and Yang Guang couldn't care too much. Carrying a pen to endorse with a pen, he kept explaining to Yang Qi. He had already thought about it, at this time he was in Jinyang Palace, and he didn't know the shape of Taiyuan City at all. Looking at Yang Jun's actions before, he already had a vague bad premonition. He didn't dare to take risks, so he made up his mind and asked the maid to secretly take Yang Qi out of the palace after a while, and go to find Yun Dingxing first.
As long as Yun Dingxing sees Yang Qi and sees his edict again, he will definitely do his best to assist Yang Qi. At that time, Yun Dingxing came forward, and then contacted the remaining seven people in the edict. According to his memory, Li Yuan and Wang Shichong, plus Wei Wensheng and Yu Wenhua, their combined strength was more than 300,000. With so many people, they are definitely not afraid of Yang Jin.
However, this is just a preparatory plan for him, and if Yang Jian wants to be unfavorable to him, it is just his secret guess. If Li Yuan and the others really received the edict he had issued earlier and rushed to Jinjian, it would naturally be the best. In case they didn't receive the edict, he would naturally explain Yang Yong's ambitions. At that time, his current arrangement will be very important.
Yang Qi knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Guang a few times, and then reluctantly left quietly under the leadership of the palace maid.
The palace maid and Yang Qi changed into a set of guard clothes, and when people were not paying attention, they sneaked out of the palace from behind, looking for Yun Dingxing. Not long after Yang Qi left the palace, Wang Dahai, the chief eunuch over there, also intercepted the edict that Yang Guang summoned the ministers into his hands. After getting the edict, he immediately sent it to Yang Jin, who had not left in the Jinyang Palace.
After reading the edict, Yang Jin's face turned pale, and he handed the edict to others to read.
After reading this edict, everyone's faces were not good. There was not a single one of them in the list of ministers summoned in this edict. You must know that Yu Shiji is the governor of the Inner History Province in the three provinces, and he is a dignified deputy minister. Pei Renji even has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Pei Yun is also a minister with the rank of participating in the government, other people are not qualified, are they not qualified. But the emperor did not summon any of them, which is already very telling.
"Your Highness, it seems that Your Majesty really doesn't want to pass on the throne to you, otherwise at this time, he wouldn't have come to do this." Pei Yun's yin and yin dao.
Yang Xuan's face was hideous, but his originally handsome face was very terrifying, "He only has one son, me, who does he plan to pass it on to me if he doesn't pass it on to me?" When the short-lived Yang Zhao died, I was his only son, and he refused to make me the crown prince, and at that time, the king only thought that he was young and didn't want to be too early. But he later set up an eight-year-old child born to a, and refused to set me up. Now that the eight-year-old scumbag is dead, and he himself won't live for a few days, why is he still refusing to pass on the throne to me? ”
The young Pei Xingyan was wearing the armor of a black-clothed iron guard, and said coldly, "Your Majesty refuses to stand, and His Highness has to let him stand." ”
"What do you mean?" Yang Yan stared at Pei Ren and said.
"Civil affairs is Your Majesty's only prince now, but Your Majesty still has a few royal grandchildren. Especially the King of Yan, but he has always been deeply loved by His Majesty. Pei Renyan said indifferently.
"You mean to let me kill Yang Qi? and Yang Zhao's other sons, so that His Majesty has to pass on to me? Yang Jun's eyes lit up, and he also felt that this method was good. He didn't believe that if Yang Zhao's three sons died, Yang Guang could still pass on the throne to whom.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome!" Pei Yun said coldly on the side
