The former crown prince Yang Yong was canonized from the first year of the emperor, to the twenty years of the emperor was deposed, he was the prince for 20 years, he was generous and easy-going, frank and willful, especially the corporal Lixian, won the support of the court ministers and the family of prestige.

There is a strange law in history, many second-generation heirs of dynasties have a tragic ending, Fusu of Qin, Liu Ying of Han, Yang Yong of Sui, Jiancheng of Tang, Dezhao of Song, and Zhu Biao of Ming.

But Yang Yong's tragedy is caused by his character and governing philosophy, if it is the Han or Tang, or even any dynasty except the Sui, Yang Yong will be a virtuous monarch, and everyone expects him, but he was born in the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Yongwen's weak shoulders could not bear the changes of this special era, hundreds of years of division in the world, countless short-lived dynastic changes, the social pattern of Hu strong and weak Han, the hostility and confrontation between the north and the south of the river, the family of gate lords who were full of the imperial court, the deep-rooted Jiupin Zhongzheng, the Guanlong magnates who were on a par with the imperial power, the Turkic Qianghu who were eyeing each other, the border turmoil one after another, and so on.

In the face of the crisis-ridden New Sui Empire, Yang Yong's leniency and easy-going attitude seemed inadequate, and he could only be a compromising monarch, but by no means a strong emperor who solved the crisis and forged ahead.

After Yang Jian's eldest son Yang Yong became the crown prince for 20 years, after 20 years of opening the emperor, Yang Jian finally made up his mind to abolish him and replace his more ambitious second son Yang Guang as his heir.

But Yang Jian forgot one thing, Yang Guang has been in Yangzhou for nearly ten years, has been pacifying and governing the south, and has no power in the court, Yang Guang's power is the military and the southern Chinese, and his roots in the court are shallow.

However, Yang Yong has been the crown prince for 20 years, and he has a stronger support force, which is some important ministers of the court led by Gao Xi of Xiangguo and the Guanlong group headed by the Yuan family, after Gao Xi was demoted, another important minister, Liu Shu, took on the important task of continuing to support Yang Yong, and also became the leader of the 'Renshou Mutiny'.

Liu Shu is about forty years old, knowledgeable, chic and handsome, he married his wife Princess Lanling, is a concubine of the court, the official worship of the military department and the secretary of the department, can be described as a high power, a few years ago Liu Shu began to plan Yang Yong's reset, he found a stand-in who resembled Yang Yong, Yang Yong was swapped out of the confinement, and Yang Yong hid in his mansion, waiting for the opportunity.

Yang Jian was critically ill, and Liu Shu realized that this was their last and best chance, so he united with the party and began to launch it.

According to Liu Shu's plan, the real Yang Yong took advantage of the night cover to enter the Renshou Palace in advance, and then Liu Shu persuaded Yang Jian to see his son for the last time, and then enter the Renshou Palace with a fake Yang Yong, and Yang Guang would inevitably send Yu Wenshu to block Yang Yong's visit, which confused Yang Guang and made Yang Guang think that the overall situation had been decided.

His planning can be described as seamless, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, the secret of the two Yang Yong's entry into the palace was discovered by a small Yicheng, revealing the secret of heaven, and Yang Yong's benevolence lost the last chance to kill people.

At this time, in a courtyard of the Renshou Palace, more than a dozen important ministers gathered together, and they were the core figures who planned this operation, a total of thirteen people, and they put their lives on the former prince Yang Yong.

For them, the operation can only succeed, not fail.

"Today is the best opportunity!"

Liu Shu's gaze slowly swept towards everyone, and said in an irresistible tone: "There is news from the inner palace, the Holy Lord fainted twice yesterday, and he is no longer able to ask about the occurrence of abnormal events, and today General He specially changed his duty, so I have made a preliminary decision to launch it tonight, do you have any opinions?" ”

"I feel that it is a bit too risky to put such a major matter on a small general of the Left Guard?" An important minister said in a deep voice.

Liu Shu smiled slightly, "General Dugu is too worried, killing Yang Guang is only our first step, killing Yang Guang, there are many major things, such as controlling the army around Renshou Palace, controlling the capital, and dealing with Yang Liang, these are all major problems, on the contrary, killing Yang Guang is the easiest, he has no guards around him, a few ordinary soldiers can kill him, General He has a thousand people under his command, absolutely obey his command, I want to kill one person with a thousand people, it should be enough, besides, there is no absolute certainty of anything, We're definitely taking risks. ”

"What if it fails?" Another important minister, Yu Wenbi, said.

Liu Shu pondered for a moment, and then said to everyone, "If it fails, I can't be spared, but you may be able to, I might as well tell you the truth, I burned all the documents about this operation, that is to say, as long as everyone is silent, Yang Guang will have no evidence of everyone's participation in this operation, however, I believe that it will not fail, we have been planning for four years, our action is seamless, as long as Yang Guang is killed in one fell swoop, and then the crown prince is re-established, there is no problem." ”

At this time, Yuan Yan walked in and smiled at everyone: "There was news just now, the prison guard General Yu Wenhua stopped the fake Yang Yong and did not allow him to enter the Renshou Palace. ”

"As I expected!"

Liu Shu smiled proudly: "Yang Su really borrowed the guard sergeant to intercept the fake person, and now, they thought they could sit back and relax." ”

"Alright, the action is about to begin, let's do what we planned! As long as Yang Guang is killed, everyone will launch it together. ”

Everyone got up and left, Liu Shu turned around and walked into the back room, in the house, Yang Yong was still covered in black, he had been silent, he said very little, like an outsider, he was worried about his father's critical illness, after all, it was his father, father and son nature, his father was about to die, how could he not be sad, and he could not even see his father for the last time.

"Has Your Highness finally decided? If His Highness gives up, he can still spend the rest of his life incognito, but once it is activated, there is no turning back. Liu Shu asked Yang Yong for the last time.

Yang Yong was silent for a while, and finally nodded, "I know the risk, but I have been a prince for twenty years, and in the end I was deposed, no matter what, I will not be reconciled, this is the last chance, even if I fail and die, it is also the will of God." ”

After speaking, Yang Yong let out a long sigh, he thought of his father again, and his heart was full of sorrow, Liu Shu saw Yang Yong's gloomy expression, so he comforted him softly: "I know that His Highness is worried about the Holy Lord, but as His Highness said, now this is our last chance, if we don't seize it, I will never turn over, time is not much, Your Highness, you should focus on the overall situation." ”

Yang Yong sighed, "I'm just sad in my heart, but I won't do anything bad, I'm a little worried about the situation in the palace, is He Shaokang reliable?" ”

He Shaokang, the general of the Left Guard Pavilion, was the key figure in this operation, and Yang Yong didn't know his details, so he was really a little uneasy.

Yuan Yan on the side said with a smile: "This person was the personal guard of the saint at the earliest, and later became the confidant and favorite general of my brother Yuan Min, with excellent martial arts, he was already our person three years ago, absolutely reliable, if there is a change in the palace, he will have news immediately." ”

As soon as his words fell, someone reported outside, "Liu Shangshu, there is urgent news in the palace!" ”

Liu Shu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Let him in!" ”

A palace guard came in a moment, he knelt down on one knee and held up a folded note high, "This is sent by General He's order, General He said that the situation is urgent." ”

Liu Shu took the note, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he couldn't stop trembling, Yuan Yan saw that his expression was different, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Liu Shu's voice was out of tune, and his teeth fought up and down, "Holy Lord.... Crashed! ”

Yuan Yan and Yang Yong were stunned, Yang Yong knelt down and couldn't help crying loudly, Liu Shu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, now is not the time to cry, the situation is urgent, we have to make a decision immediately!" ”

Yang Yong wiped away his tears and said: "Everything depends on Liu Shangshu!" ”

Liu Shuyi gritted his teeth and said: "Without further ado, I will enter the palace immediately, and I will personally command this operation!" ”

．．．．．．．

Not long after Liu Shu went to Renshou Palace, Yang Zhao also took his mother Concubine Xiao down the mountain and found Yang Su, at this time Yang Su had just returned from discussing with Yuwenshu, Yu Wenhua and had led the prison guards to successfully intercept 'Yang Yong' outside the Renshou Palace, but Yang Su still had a little uneasiness in his heart, that is, Yang Guang's safety.

Yang Guang lives alone in Renshou Palace, only the eunuch palace maids wait, only four personal guards around him, since the opening of the emperor in the nineteenth year Yang Jian ordered to weaken the East Palace guards, Yang Jian strictly ordered not to allow the East Palace or the prince's guards to enter the palace or Renshou Palace, Yang Su is very worried, the saint is close to dying, once the saint dies, what happens in the Renshou Palace, the four guards are far from enough, Yang Guang can only wait to be killed.

and his grandson Yuanqing, Yang Su also has a little regret in his heart, at this critical moment, Yuanqing should not appear here.

Just when Yang Su was worried, Yang Zhao arrived and relayed his father's meaning, Yang Su reacted quickly, the two abolished princes Yang Yong, did Yang Yong want to win the heir at the last moment?

Although things seem a bit ridiculous, Yang Su knows very well in his heart that although Yang Yong has been deposed for four years, the people who support him still hold the power of the imperial court, and as long as Yang Guang dies suddenly, Yang Yong may turn the tables.

Yang Su's cold sweat had already come down, it turned out that Yang Yong, who they intercepted outside, turned out to be a stand-in, and the real Yang Yong sneaked into the palace three days ago.

Yang Zhao's heart was even more burning, he handed the gold medal to Yang Su, and said hurriedly: "Xiangguo, the situation in the Holy Shang is no longer good, this time is their best opportunity to make a move, my father asked Xiangguo to immediately lead the East Palace guards into the palace, and it can't be delayed for a moment!" ”

Yang Su took the gold medal and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't worry, the old minister knows that the situation is serious, and he will arrange it immediately, not only the guards of the East Palace will go up the mountain immediately, but also the army of Wuhou Wei outside must also be controlled in his hands." ”

Yang Su walked out quickly, and when he reached the door, he turned back and said, "There are also His Royal Highness's guards, please also hand them over to Yuwen Chengdu." ”
