Chapter 541: Heaven is not terrible, the emperor is not terrible, and power is terrifying

After Dou Jiande saved Empress Xiao, he ordered someone to use an iron chain to put Yu Wenhua's collarbone in a cage, he originally wanted to be a favor and send Yu Wenhua and to Li Mi of Dongjun, but the team he sent had not yet made the trip, and the news that Li Mi led the Wagangzhai army to besiege the eastern capital again. Dou Jiande originally wanted to send Yu Wenhua and go, Li Mi accepted the Zhao'an of Emperor Tai Emperor Yang Tong and was named Tai Lieutenant, if Li Mi got Yu Wenhua and would be happy. But now that Li Mi is besieging the Eastern Capital, it is obvious that something has happened in this. He simply asked people to cast a high platform, and on the high platform, Yu culture and heart sacrificed to the sky.

Although Dou Jiande has been called the King of Xia, the capital, and the hundred officials, after all, he is from the Green Forest Road, and Li Mi is now the leader of the Green Forest Road Alliance, and he is the strongest, Dou Jiande has to have some scruples. After sending Yu Wenhua and going, Li Mi had the capital to invite the emperor of the eastern capital, Emperor Tai. And in this way, Dou Jiande no longer has to worry about Li Mi coveting his Hebei land.

Wang Bodang led 100,000 troops in Liyang, and his territory could be endangered at any time. Luo Yi hasn't retreated yet, and Dou Jiande has no interest or ability to tease Li Mi again.

It's a pity that after Li Miqin led an army of 200,000 to defeat Yu Wenhua, he asked Yang Tong, the emperor of the Eastern Capital, to ask for merit and rewards...... Dongdu is not the emperor who is in charge, but the prime minister Wang Shichong.

Let Wang Shichong give Li Mi benefits, this is simply a big joke.

He and Li Mi have been fighting for so long, with fewer wins and more losses, it can be said that Li Mi has been pressing him to fight, and the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital can only shrink in the city, and it is almost easy for the army of Wagangzhai to encircle the Eastern Capital, but because the city wall of the Eastern Capital is too tall and strong, Li Mi cannot easily conquer although he has a strong army, and in the past two years, Li Mi has lost tens of thousands of troops. If you push it further, Li Mi has lost more than 300,000 men and horses under the eastern capital from the beginning.

Wang Shichong relied on the strong defense of the eastern capital, although he could not win, but he also protected himself.

Li Mi defeated Yu Wenhua, he naturally would not realize that this was a matter of course for serving the Great Sui Imperial Court, and he would naturally not feel embarrassed to ask for benefits from Emperor Yang Tong. If he is embarrassed, he is embarrassed to ask for too little. Yang Tong was willing to treat him, but Dongdu was not up to him.

And not long after Li Mi sent someone to send it to the Eastern Capital, it was sent to Yang Tong, a major event happened that made Li Mi furious. So much so that he ignored the opposition of the generals, and immediately set out to besiege the eastern capital with a tired army that had just experienced a series of fierce battles. It is precisely because of this incident that the Yang family's world has come to an end.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty was hanged in Jiangdu on the second day of February, and in early March, Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, abolished the Yining Emperor Yang Yu whom he supported, founded the Tang Dynasty, and established Yuan Wude. In early April, Yang Yu, the fifteen-year-old Emperor of Yining, died of illness in Chang'an, but it is unknown what illness he had. Of course, everyone understands what dirty things are hidden in this, but this kind of thing is nothing in troubled times, and he is just a useless person who dies, even if he is an emperor.

When the news reached the Eastern Capital, Emperor Yang Tong was naturally sad. Aside from the brotherhood between him and Yang Yoo, the almost identical situation between the two brothers also made him feel sad and sad.

They are all puppets controlled by others, they are about the same age, the same smart and old, and the same bad fate.

There were originally a few old ministers who supported him in the eastern capital, but Wang Shichong killed Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu and others in one go last year, and the rebels invaded the palace city in the eastern capital, Duan Da, the forbidden general who was responsible for guarding the palace city, not only did not stop it, but opened the palace gate, and Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu and others who were hiding in the palace were pulled out by the rebels, and they cut off their heads outside the palace gate, and they were killed by the nine clans, implicating hundreds of people.

After this time, no one in the Eastern Capital stood beside Emperor Yang Tong.

Compared with the beauty and beauty of Jiangdu, Luoyang, the eastern capital, is more graceful and solemn. It's just that the eastern capital is besieged almost every year, or even several times, where are the people and defenders in the city still in the mood to enjoy the early summer scenery in June. There is also a large lotus pond in the palace of the Eastern Capital, which is not known to be many times larger than the small pond in the Taishou Mansion of Weizhou, and there are many kinds of lotus flowers in the pond, and I don't know how many times more beautiful than the few flowers in the small pond in Weizhou.

But Yang Tong didn't have the heart to look at the lotus, not even the mind to go to the court.

For him, being an emperor is the most torturous thing in the world. The power of the court is in the hands of Wang Shichong, where does the shameless man who went to the palace with a knife respect him as the emperor, and clearly regards him as a prisoner.

Yang Tong sat in the stone pavilion by the lotus pond, watching a few koi swimming freely under the lotus leaves, and couldn't help but feel infinite envy in his heart, looking at those koi he laughed at himself and muttered: "I am the lord of the Great Sui, but I can't compare to the freedom of the koi in this pond." ”

He looks delicate, but his reflection in the water is sad and sad.

He was only fifteen years old, but his reflection in the water was old.

……

……

It was already evening, and Gao Delu, the chief attendant, glanced at the food on the stone table in the stone pavilion and couldn't help sighing, from morning to noon to dusk, His Majesty had not eaten a mouthful of food, and the meal had been changed three times, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't even touch the chopsticks.

He looked at the back of the emperor sitting on the edge of the pool, and waved his hand to signal the attendant to take away the food on the stone table.

"Take some light and delicious snacks, Your Majesty has a bad appetite, and you definitely don't like things that are too greasy, and remember to bring a pot of fruit wine."

The two little chamberlains who had just drilled fluff out of their mouths but could only burrow out these fluff hurriedly responded and took away the food on the stone table. Gao Delu slowly walked to Yang Tong's side, bowed down and whispered, "Your Majesty...... Worrying about the country and the people is not in a hurry at this time, if Your Majesty is hungry, what can Da Sui do? ”

"Worried about the country and the people?"

Yang Tong repeated, he raised his head and looked at Gao Delu and laughed at himself: "Where is it my turn to worry about the country and the people, there is a great prime minister, I don't know how easy and happy it is, I just feel that the weather is hot and dry, and I have no appetite." ”

"Whatever Your Majesty wants, you have to eat your stomach first."

Gao Delu lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty is healthy, so there is hope for everything." ”

Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Gao Delu, what you said is right, no matter what kind of ideals and ambitions I have, if I want to achieve the first thing I promise, I must live first, and if I want to live, I must eat and drink." Only when you have a full stomach can you have the strength to think about what to do, and the strength to turn ideas into actions. But do you know why I can't eat? ”

Without waiting for Gao Delu to answer, he continued as if talking to himself: "I can't eat because I really don't know why I eat...... Because I don't know what to do, what I can do, because I ...... now There is nothing to do. ”

Gao Delu's heart was sour, and he said something that was a little taboo.

"To be alive is the greatest thing."

He looked at Yang Tong and said distressedly: "This is the biggest idea, this is the biggest reason to eat." ”

Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Gao Delu, you are getting better and better at talking, okay...... I think it's for you to eat, and I'm looking for something light to eat. ”

"Whoa!"

Gao Delu responded with a smile and said, "The slave has already ordered his subordinates to prepare." ”

As he was talking, suddenly an attendant trotted over and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Duan Da, the secretary of the military department, asks to see you." ”

"What is he here for?"

Yang Tong frowned slightly, thought for a while and said: "Gao Delu, let the person who takes the dim sum hurry up, I will eat something first, and then I will see Duan Da in a while, but I am afraid that I will not be able to eat again." Compared with Wang Shichong, he made me look disgusting. ”

"Your Majesty, you must not say that again."

Gao Delu's face turned pale with fright, and he said nervously: "Don't talk about it even with slaves and maids." ”

"Will you betray me?"

Yang Tong asked with some annoyance.

"Slaves and maids naturally won't, slaves and maids have been in the palace since they were thirteen years old, and at that time they were still in the reign of Gaozu, and slaves and maids have been in the palace for more than twenty years, who will do anything to be sorry for Your Majesty, and slaves and maids will not. But Your Majesty, the slave and maid will not do anything to be sorry for Your Majesty, and it does not mean that the slave and maid will not leak secrets. If the slave is drunk, if the slave and the maid talk in their dreams, there is no way for the slave and the maid to control these things, and the slave and the maid can quit drinking, but they can't stop sleeping. ”

"I see!"

Yang Tong patted Gao Delu on the shoulder and said, "I know your loyalty, I am the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Sui, and there are always people who are loyal to the Yang family, so there is still hope." ”

He waved his hand and said, "Go, let Duan Da come, and ask him what he wants to do while eating." ”

He smiled and said, "Watching disgusting things eat, it's also a workout. ”

……

……

When Duan Da explained his intention to enter the palace today, Yang Tong suddenly found that it was really difficult to look at an extremely disgusting person and eat. The dim sum that he had only eaten two bites was casually thrown on Duan Da's face, and the half-chewed thing in his mouth mixed with saliva was also spit on Duan Da's body.

"Duan Da!"

Yang Tong stood up violently, wanting to kick Duan Da's hateful face, but seeing Gao Delu shaking his head silently to himself, he forced himself to hold back his anger and sat down on the chair.

"Duan Da, you are also a person who has been deeply favored by the first emperor, and you can achieve today's position, all of which was given to you by the Yang family. Now that you're actually talking to me like this, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep at night because you feel ashamed?! ”

Duan Da silently wiped off the dim sum dregs on his face, raised his head and looked at Yang Tong, his face was calm, and said: "The minister is deeply favored by the emperor and trusted by His Majesty...... More afraid of death. ”

He kowtowed vigorously, touched his head to the ground and said: "The minister is not a loyal minister, and even a minister is not a good person." ”

"You're not a human being at all!"

Yang Tong asked angrily: "You told me what benefits Wang Shichong promised you!" ”

"Guogong, Tai Lieutenant."

Duan Da said truthfully: "The prime minister said that if the minister convinces His Majesty, then he will be the prince of Baoguo, the captain." ”

"Wang Shichong really looks up to you!"

"The minister also feels that Dacheng is very good to the minister."

"Duan Da! If you do such a disobedient thing, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder? ”

Yang Tong scolded angrily: "You forced me today, Qingtian is in the eyes of the sky, you are such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous thing, aren't you afraid that the heavens will punish you to death?" I can't clean you up, can't the heavens clean you up? ”

"Your Majesty is wrong"

Duan Da's expression was still flat, and his tone was extremely flat: "If Your Majesty can't clean up the ministers, what will the sky do to clean up the ministers?" Does Your Majesty really think that thunder and lightning are divine punishments to punish the evil villains in the world? If that's the case, at least all the people from the family in this world have been punished to death by God. Therefore, if the sky is not terrible, the imperial power is terrible. But although His Majesty is the emperor, he has no power, so His Majesty is not terrible. Then the minister naturally doesn't have to worry about anything, what the minister is afraid of is that he can't convince His Majesty, in that case, if the prime minister is angry, it will be really terrible. ”
