Yu Shiji is a person who is very deep in the city, since he felt that the Great Sui will be overturned, he began to actively seek a way back for his son and family, he knows that he has helped Yang Guang suppress the Guanlong nobles over the years, and offended the Guanlong nobles too deeply, Dugu Luo, Yuan Guan, Yuan Min, He Ruobi and other Guanlong nobles The death of the leaders of the Guanlong nobles is related to himself, and his son has no choice but to take refuge in Zhang Xuan.

But Yu Shiji also knows that he doesn't have many things to get his hands on, unlike the Pei family who can use marriage to pull Zhang Xuan's relationship, and he has nothing to pay attention to Zhang Xuan except for some money, if the Yu family has a little influence in Jiangnan, but it is also relatively far away, Yu Shiji thinks about it, he still has one thing that Zhang Xuan needs, that is, the power in his hands.

Yu Shiji has been waiting for seven days, he finally waited for the opportunity, this afternoon, a eunuch came to find him, the Holy Authority summoned him urgently, this is the first time Yu Shiji has been summoned by the Son of Heaven in the past two months, he knows that this is also his last chance.

Yu Shiji hurriedly changed into court clothes, followed the eunuch and hurried to the palace, they came to the Lotus Heart Palace, which is the queen's living place, at this time Yang Guang was talking to the queen in the queen's living hall, which is also an extremely rare situation, Yang Guang spent part of the time in the wine, and had no time to accompany his family, but today he had severe colic pain in his chest, and a eunuch urgently reported to the queen, invited the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and it took a long time to stabilize Yang Guang's condition.

This time, Empress Xiao did not hide from Yang Guang, the son of heaven, but told him very clearly that he was overly drunk and his body was extremely weak, and if he continued to indulge, he was afraid that his life would not be saved.

If it was usual, if Empress Xiao dared to say this, Yang Guang would have been furious a long time ago, but today Yang Guang was not angry. His own body he knew, and the feeling of angina made him feel as if he was going to die.

Yang Guang was a little disheartened, it was only at this time that he remembered what was going on, he had to think about what was behind him, but the excessive alcohol made his mind confused. He didn't know what he had to do anymore.

"Your Majesty, Yu Xiangguo is here."

Yang Guang half lay on the soft couch and nodded, "Please ask him to come up!" ”

After a moment, Yu Shiji walked up quickly and bowed, "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

"Flat, Yu Qing, please sit down!"

Yu Shiji sat down, and Yang Guang in front of him suddenly startled him. I saw that his cheeks were sunken, his face was pale, and his eyes had turned dark gray, neither the vitality of the past, nor the red and violent eyes of a few months ago, just like an old man who was about to come to the end of his life, from the Son of Heaven, Yu Shiji actually smelled the breath of death.

He suddenly understood why the Holy One was looking for him. I must have asked myself how to arrange the future.

Yang Guang sighed and said, "Even if I don't say much about the current situation, Yu Qing should understand." My heart is in turmoil, and I want to hear Yu Qing's plan. ”

Yu Shiji has been thinking carefully for the past few months, and has already prepared a plan for Yang Guang for the future, he said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are arguing with the courtiers these days, and many courtiers think. It is best for His Majesty to pass on the throne to the grandson, and His Majesty can recuperate with peace of mind as the emperor, but Weichen thinks that it is absolutely impossible to pass on the throne now. ”

The matter of succession is also a heart disease of Yang Guang, he has been hesitant, Yu Shiji said that it must not be. He was a little interested.

"Why not now?"

"Your Majesty, now the problem of the Great Sui is not to revitalize the dynasty, but to maintain stability, the reason why Jiangdu is still the orthodoxy of the Great Sui, the key is that His Majesty is still the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui, no one dares to deny this, as long as His Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui for a day, Chang'an will be a pseudo-court for a day, but if His Majesty abdicates as the Emperor, then the legitimacy of Jiangdu will be reduced, after all, His Royal Highness King Yan is young, his qualifications are still far behind, and the recognition of the subjects of the world for him is not high, but will give Chang'an a chance."

Yang Guang nodded, Yu Shiji said that his heart had gone up, and if he abdicated at this time, he would have fulfilled Li Yuan's wishes.

Thinking of Li Yuan, Yang Guang couldn't help gritting his teeth for a while, but at the same time, he was helpless, he was really beyond the reach of the whip, Yang Guang sighed tiredly and said: "There is no need to worry about bandits everywhere, but Li Yuan is my henchman, he has the support of the Guanlong nobles, and he will be the biggest threat to my Great Sui, and I don't know how to deal with him?" ”

Yu Shiji knew that Yang Guang would mention Li Yuan, and he had already made up his mind, so he said unhurriedly: "Although Li Yuan is a huge threat, there are also people who restrain him. ”

"You mean Jang Hyun?"

"Exactly!"

Yang Guang sneered, "He is also ambitious, and he is no different from Li Yuan." ”

"Your Majesty, Zhang Xuan's ambition can be seen by everyone, but after all, he recognizes the Jiangdu Imperial Court, and is still a minister of His Majesty in name, this is the biggest difference between him and Li Yuan, Weichen thinks that now our last ray of hope is on Zhang Xuan, because only he can fight against Li Yuan, and even destroy Li Yuan in the end, if Your Majesty does not encircle him well, once he also openly supports Chang'an, then we are really going to the general trend."

Yang Guang hesitated for a while and asked, "Yu Qing thinks he will surrender to Li Yuan?" ”

Yu Shiji nodded slowly, "He has not publicly accused Li Yuan of plotting against usurpation, in fact, he has left a way back for himself, if Jiang Du completely disappoints him, he may turn to recognize Chang'an, at least he can still get a name from Chang'an." ”

Yang Guang pondered for a long time and asked, "Yu Qing really thinks that Zhang Xuan can defeat Li Yuan?" ”

"Your Majesty, Zhang Xuan's strength and Li Yuan are also between the best, if Zhang Xuan is weaker, it is just a loss in the name, after all, Li Yuan coerced the king to order the world, and Zhang Xuan is only a Duke of Qi, not enough to confront Li Yuan, so Weichen suggested that His Majesty give Zhang Xuan a name, one is to cut off his heart to surrender to Chang'an, and the other is to let him continue to be a minister of His Majesty, Weichen dares to say, at least before the destruction of Li Yuan, he will not have the heart of disobedience, and when he destroys Li Yuan, we will find a way to deal with him, Weichen thinks that to deal with Zhang Xuan, At least it was a little easier than dealing with Li Yuan, who was supported by the Long nobles. ”

The reason why Yu Shiji became Yang Guang's confidant is that he knows Yang Guang's mind better than anyone else, and he knows that Yang Guang has never officially established King Yan as the emperor's grandson over the years, because Yang Guang is extremely attached to his throne and does not want to pass on the throne to his grandson at all.

So when everyone thought that Yang Guang should pass on the throne to the eldest grandson, Yu Shiji resolutely opposed the succession, of course, his reason also has some truth, the abdication of the Son of Heaven now will cause chaos, which will affect the orthodoxy of Jiangdu, but the real reason for Yu Shiji's opposition is that he knows that the Son of Heaven will not retreat.

It is precisely because Yu Shiji accurately grasped Yang Guang's mind that his suggestions will be used repeatedly, he just didn't have the opportunity to see Yang Guang in the past two months, as long as he saw Yang Guang, he was sure to persuade Yang Guang to canonize Zhang Xuan according to his own ideas.

Yu Shiji knew that the person Yang Guang hated the most was Li Yuan, and the person who was most worried and feared was also Li Yuan, as long as he could exterminate Li Yuan, Yang Guang would do whatever it take, as long as he could firmly grasp this, then Yang Guang would definitely accept his advice.

Yang Guang was really hit by Yu Shiji, and he also realized that only Zhang Xuan was the only force to balance Li Yuan, although Zhang Xuan was also ambitious, but as Yu Shiji said, Zhang Xuan still admitted that he was a Sui minister after all, and also admitted that he Yang Guang was the Son of Heaven, but once Zhang Xuan accepted the canonization of Chang'an, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Yu Shiji is right, he must entrap Zhang Xuan, make him a sword in his hand, and cut off Li Yuan's wolf ambitions.

As long as Li Yuan can be exterminated, Yang Guang can do whatever it takes, what is a little knighthood and official position?

"What does Yu Qing think I can give Zhang Xuan to compete with Li Yuan?"

"Your Majesty, Li Yuan is the self-proclaimed King of Tang!"

Yang Guang frowned, Yu Shiji wanted to make Zhang Xuan the prince, but Zhang Xuan was not a member of the royal family, how could he be crowned a prince, and it was already very reluctant to make him a county king.

Yu Shiji wanted to give Zhang Xuan a big gift, but the little county king felt that he couldn't take it, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now the royal family can't keep the Great Sui, in extraordinary times, when you use extraordinary means, didn't Han Gaozu also seal Han Xin as the king of Qi?" ”

One sentence said through Yang Guang's thoughts, what about Han Xinfeng King Qi, didn't he also die in the hands of the Son of Heaven? Then let Jang Hyun become Han Shin's second!

In fact, King Qi was the king of Yang Guang's second son, Yang Xuan, who was later cut off by Yang Guang for plotting rebellion and imprisoned for life.

Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu, these are the four most important kings of the Sui Dynasty, and the sons of non-emperors cannot be sealed, but in order to exterminate Li Yuan, Yang Guang also let go, and he finally made up his mind to give Zhang Xuan, the third-ranked king of Qi.

"Yu Aiqing is right, when extraordinary times are used, Zhang Xuan will be named the king of Qi and let him eradicate Li Yuan for me." (To be continued.) )
