The End of the Sui Dynasty

As soon as he returned to the city, Chen Dongfu immediately took Chen Lei and the others to change their clothes, left from the back door of the Wushi Mansion, and turned left and right all the way to a somewhat remote mansion in Dongcheng.

The location of this house is a bit out of the way, and there are no people nearby, so it is quiet.

From a distance, the high wall of the Zhumen Gate turned out to be the mansion of the big family. However, at this time, the mansion was very quiet, and even in front of the Zhu Sè gate, there were only the two big stone lions sitting alone, and there was not even a guard at the door. But in fact, if you really think it's just a deserted house, you're very wrong.

In fact, the house was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. On the outside, it looks like there is no one in sight, but in fact, this house is heavily guarded, not only are there many guards in the house, but even on the remote and deserted streets, there are also dense piles, just three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry.

Chen Kefu was dressed in a white Confucian robe, and Chen Lei and the others behind him were also wearing dark armor and cloth clothes. At first glance, it looks like the son of a family is strolling through the streets with the family guards. All the way to the door of this mansion, Chen Kefu and the others did not go in, but turned around, and finally entered through a side door of the house.

As soon as I entered the side door, one after another shì guards suddenly appeared in the eaves, porches, rockeries and other places near the side door. And behind these shì guards, a few people also hurriedly rushed over, Chen Kefu recognized it at a glance, the first one was Zhao Qi of the Secret Service Division.

"See the big handsome!" Zhao Qi saluted respectfully.

"Well, don't be polite, people?" Chen Kefu was very satisfied with the strict guards in the mansion.

With such a guard force, it is absolutely guaranteed to be foolproof.

"People are in the house," Zhao said, "Before dawn this morning, people were already sent into the city." According to the commander's orders, we have arranged people here, and all actions are very secretive, and their whereabouts are currently classified as top secret, and no one else knows. "Hmm!" Chen Kefu nodded approvingly, "Well done." They must not afford to fail, and they must do their utmost to ensure their safety, and I ask you to ensure that their whereabouts and safety must be fully guaranteed until August. "My subordinates understand."

Chen Kefu took such a lot of pains, and in this mansion, it was not the golden house that was hidden in Jiāo.

At this time, the people living in the mansion were taken away from Yanmen City by Zhang Jin, and brought all the way to Queen Xiao and the crown prince Yang Gao in Luhe Town, western Liaoning. This time, Chen Kefu planned to take advantage of Yang Guang's life and the time when the throne in Taiyuan City was contested, and the eight-year-old Royal Highness the Crown Prince was given the throne of the third emperor of the Sui Dynasty. In doing so, he didn't plan to play any kind of coercion with the Son of Heaven to order the princes. In fact, today, Jiangnan has already returned to the Chen Dynasty, and they don't even listen to Yang Guang's orders, let alone listen to the orders of the eight-year-old Yang Gao. And Zhang Chengjin, Sun Anzu, Gao Shida and others in Hebei were even more traitors of the peasant army, and it was even more impossible for them to listen to the orders of the imperial court.

And the Wagang army in Henan is now preparing to attack Luoyang, and they are the same people who will not pay attention to the imperial court. Even in Hedong, Shannan, Guanlong, Bashu and other places controlled by the imperial court today, it is impossible for these people to obey his orders just because the eight-year-old prince ascended the throne in Hebei. Chen Kefu did this just to muddy the water a little so that he could take advantage of the opportunity. And temporarily raising Yang Gao as the emperor, on the one hand, it can also separate him from the Chen Dynasty in Jiangnan, on the other hand, Yang Gao's banner will still have some effect, at least, Chen Kefu still intends to use him to appease the Hebei that he has just captured. After all, it is easy to conquer Hebei, but it is not possible to really stabilize Hebei and win the hearts of the people in Hebei.

Chen Kefu left Chen Lei and the others outside the hall and entered the hall alone. As soon as I entered the hall, I saw that there was a good meal on the table in the hall at this time, and Empress Xiao, who had seen it several times, was sitting around the table with the eight-year-old prince Yang Gao and the six-year-old nephew Yuwen Zen Master. It's just that in the face of this exquisite meal, none of the three of them put down their chopsticks.

Goodbye Empress Xiao, at this time there is no longer the grace and luxury of the first few meetings, most of the year has not been seen, this has just experienced that her own daughter Princess Nanyang was robbed in the palace, and the Yanmen City was besieged with the emperor. During the panicked days of the siege of Dayan Gate Castle, he witnessed that the emperor and Princess Izumo were injured by arrows, and later he had no choice but to send Izumo to Liaodong and his relatives. In the end, he and the prince were taken captive to Hedong, and now they are in Hebei. …,

In the past half a year, Queen Xiao has not spent a day in a down-to-earth manner. More than half a year has passed, and the delicate face, which was originally very well maintained and has not even left a trace of the years, is also a little more haggard, and the whole person has lost a lot. Sitting in the hall at this time, there are no palace maids who hug left and right, no gorgeous robes, and no dazzling jewelry.

The whole person didn't even apply powder, but the natural Lizai, when she didn't put on makeup, she was even more beautiful. It seems that Chen Kefu is coming, and the emperor sees Chen Kefu coming in. Not even half surprised.

"I thought I would see you when I was in Liaoxi, but I didn't expect you to come to see me until today. I didn't expect that you would meet me in Hebei. Chen Pojun, do you know what you do? The queen's tone was flat, and she couldn't even feel her anger.

On top of the facts, there was indeed not much anger in Empress Xiao's heart at this time. When she was taken captive by Zhang Jin, she was very angry when she learned along the way that it was not the Turks who captured her and the prince, but Chen Pojun of Liaodong who captured them. In her opinion, Emperor Yang Guang is sorry for many people, but he is absolutely right about Chen Pojun. Without Emperor Yang Guang, there would be no Chen Pojun today. But she couldn't understand why Chen Pojun, who had received such a great favor from the emperor, betrayed the emperor and the court again and again.

However, when the queen arrived in Liaoxi, the anger in her heart had decreased, and she was thinking more about how to go back. And when she was brought from Liaoxi to Hebei, although she still couldn't know the situation outside, she had already clearly speculated many things.

The Liaodong Army broke through the Linyu defense line and entered Hebei.

At this time, she can't just be angry, anger will only help. There was more of a panic in her heart, they had been taken captive for a long time, but the emperor still did not save them, and the Liaodong army invaded Hebei in one fell swoop. A bad thought came to her heart, and she couldn't calm down anymore.

Chen Kefu walked to the table and sat down, clothed, he was not qualified to eat with the queen and His Royal Highness the Prince. And according to the system, as the queen and the prince, they share food.

But Chen Kefu didn't bother to care about these now, he sat down with a big prick, picked up the wine jug, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all.

Picked up the chopsticks, reached out and took a few bites of food to eat, and nodded while eating" "This chef has good skills, and it is much better than the imperial food I ate in the palace last year." The queen and the crown prince rushed all the way from Liaoxi to Zhuojun, but I'm afraid they haven't had a good meal in the past two days, right? Rest assured, there is no problem with this meal, just eat it. Saying with a smile, he said to the eight-year-old prince Yang Lai and the six-year-old Yuwen Zen Master who had already been a little impatient on the side, "I see that you are also hungry, if you want to eat, you can do it yourself, but no one will come to serve you to eat." ”

Seeing Chen Kefu ignoring herself, Empress Xiao was not angry, thinking that she was the queen and had always been favored by the emperor. But although she never asked about the affairs of the court in the past, which official in the world dared to treat herself like this. Thinking of this, the queen's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, and a pair of phoenix eyes couldn't help but stare coldly at Chen Pojun.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Chen Kefu put down his glass, "It's not that Xia Guan doesn't want to come to see the queen as soon as possible, it's just that Xia Guan led his troops to the grassland a few days ago." A few days ago, he had just annihilated the nearly 100,000 troops of the Turkic Shibi Khan, and captured the Shibi Khan and other nobles who went south. Just returned to Liaodong, never had to rest, immediately led the troops to Hebei, really can not stop for a moment, now a little time, the lower officials also immediately rushed to meet the queen, but also ask for forgiveness. ”

Since the queen was abducted from Yanmen, she has not known the news outside for a long time, and she is under house arrest in the palace every day, and she has no news at all. At this time, when I heard Chen Kefu's words, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Has the siege of Yanmen been resolved?" Is Your Majesty all right? ”

Chen Kefu shook his head, and said in a heavy tone, "The siege of Yanmen has indeed been resolved, and the 400,000 Qinwang army will rush to Yanmen that day, and only after the end will he return to the grassland with 100,000 remnants." Ben Shuai seized the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Turks, and completely annihilated the Turks who went south. However, although the siege of Yanmen was solved, His Majesty's dragon body was not safe. ”

"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Empress Xiao asked anxiously.

Chen Kefu pretended to be sad and said in a deep voice: "As soon as the siege of Yanmen was lifted that day, Your Majesty led an army of 400,000 to counterattack the Turkic steppe. As a result, when he took the oath, His Majesty suddenly suffered a stroke and was paralyzed and unconscious, and more than a month had passed, but His Majesty still had not woken up, and his health was getting worse and worse. This time, even the holy hand in the medicine is unable to rejuvenate, but he is afraid that it is not far from the big line.

I also asked the queen to mourn, this time Ben Shuai hurried back from the grassland, and he also wanted to discuss something with the queen. ”

"Is Chen Dashuai going to let our mother and son return to the court? ,,Xiao Hou sneered.

"This, here's the thing, now the king of Liao in the court has colluded with his henchmen and is seeking to seize the throne in Hedong. In Xia Shen, His Majesty personally crowned the king of Beichen County, and was the imperial court Shangshuling and Situ, as a heavy comparison in the court, how could he see that the King of Liao and the King of Yan, the King of Yue, and the Acting King were used by those courtiers who had a heart, and their uncles and nephews killed each other? In the current situation, as an important minister of the imperial court, the minister is also the one who should set things right, and be the mainstay of the imperial court. Therefore, the minister has decided that on the first day of the eighth month, he will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne to end the chaos in the court. ”！。
