Chapter Seventy-Nine: The End

Not necessarily. In the eyes of the emperor, compared with the ancestors of the Wandai Jiangshan Sheji, the gods and horses are all floating clouds. After cross-examination, this Liang Bi is also a hard bone, no matter what you are a powerful person in the court, you still keep impeaching, and you are talking eloquently in front of Emperor Wen. The impeachment banner is quite level, anyway, it is for your old Yang family's Jiangshan Sheji, boss, you look at it. It makes sense for Emperor Wen to listen to it, such a good person, brave and loyal, let it go.

Moreover, if the court officials are really monolithic, coerced and suppressed by individual magnates or important ministers, either lazy or forming a party, or deceiving their superiors and subordinates to embezzle and accept bribes, then the emperor will become a puppet. The most terrible thing is that the bottom is tied up in a ball without the muzzle of the gun pointed at the emperor, and the emperor's head is bigger.

Therefore, the emperor can still understand these different opinions, especially the impeachment of the different factions that oppose these powerful ministers and important ministers, and to be honest, the leadership really needs these heavy machine-gun cadres, who can bite, rush, fight and kill.

These people, in a word, are useful! For Yang Su, the emperor is a little precautionary. First of all, he didn't have to report to Shangshu Province every day for work, for the reason that it was quite high-sounding. said that you are the left servant, that is the number one prime minister, and what you have to consider every day is the major affairs of the country, and those small affairs will be handled by the people below.

In this way, the prime minister is required to go to the State Council every three days or every five days to show his face. In the name of caring for the old comrades, in fact, it was the rise and fall of the Ming and the secret, cutting off Lord Yang's administrative wings and power.

How could Yang ** Jing not see the clues? I thought to myself, boss, you are also a grasshopper after the autumn, how many days can you jump? Anyway, I hugged the little boss tightly, and it won't be a few days before you die. But now there is no way, the big boss has spoken, although Yang Su is not satisfied with a hundred, then there is no way, so let's do it.

That's it, until the death of the old emperor, this Yang Su has never directly intervened in the affairs of Shangshu Province.

It's not over yet. In addition, Yang Su's younger brother Yang Yue was directly transferred from the central government and let him take up a temporary post in remote Yizhou. This Yang Yue is Yang Su's half-brother, with a cunning temperament, but he is smart and has a particularly good memory. He made a lot of contributions in the process of Yang Guang's ascension, so he was quite powerful in the imperial court. But this person has a shortcoming, because he was too naughty when he was a child, he fell directly down while climbing a tree and became a eunuch.

Therefore, when Yang Guang wanted to form a political alliance with Yang Su and wanted to bring down Gao Xi and the crown prince Yang Yong, let Yuwenshu pull Yang Yue into the water. Later, after the death of Yang Guang's father Emperor Wen, the first person to be given death was the eldest brother Yang Yong, and the person who operated the knife was this Yang Yue.

This man is cunning and extremely intelligent, and he is the perfect choice to be a gunman. But when it comes to governing the country, that's largely unusable. quietly drove Yang Su out of the State Council, and cut off his wings in the imperial court. These two hands down. Yang Su's political power was suppressed by Emperor Wen.

You have to use people, at this time, Emperor Wen used another young man. The husband of his youngest daughter, Princess Lanling, is Liu Shu, a native of Xie County, Hedong. After the death of Queen Dugu, the person he favored the most was his little son-in-law, Liu Shu, the secretary of the military department. This Liu Shu, who was born in the Liu clan in Hedong, is also a famous family. In that era of paying attention to feudal families, it was natural to be an official with this family. His father, Liu Ji, was originally an important minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and helped Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, pacify the world.

By the time Yang Jian usurped Zhou Lisui, in fact, Liu Ji was not on Yang Jian's side. But for some reason, Emperor Wen Yang Jian attaches great importance to Liu Ji. Sometimes you don't need a special reason to like someone, even if they are two hearts against you.

Yang Jian just likes Liu Ji, and in the end, he even did not hesitate to marry his favorite youngest daughter, Princess Lanling, to Liu Ji's son Liu Shu, and directly became a family of children and daughters. loves the house and Wu, Yang Jian is also very fond of his little son-in-law.

By the end of the emperor's reign, Liu Shu had already paid homage to the Huangmen squire and attacked the Duke of Jian'an County. At the beginning of Renshou, Liu Shu was even more unavoidable, and the official worshiped the secretary of the military department and participated in the imperial court affairs. The momentum completely overshadowed the left servant shooting Yang Su. At this time, Emperor Wen Yang Jian really needs to rest, without the old vinegar jar of Queen Dugu, Yang Jian can finally be a concubine that men like to play with their eyebrows.

It is recorded in the history books that during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui and Yang Jian Renshou (601 AD - 604 AD), the emperor basically vacationed with his concubines in Renshou Palace. And the crown prince Yang Guang supervised the country in Daxing City. The important person beside Emperor Wen is this little son-in-law Liu Shu. He became a historical witness who accompanied Emperor Wen Yang Jian through the last journey of his life. However, he also paid a terrible price for it.

In **, Queen Dugu returned to the west. The emperor is missing a political ally and a person who speaks from the heart. Although the little eunuch or the little palace maid did the work of folding the quilt at night, the young husband and wife were old and accompanied, and Emperor Wen always felt empty in his heart. Yang Jian had a gap in his feelings.

Soon, though, the emperor's prerogatives came into play. Queen Dugu left, and someone immediately came up to fill the position. It is recorded in the history books that two southern beauties accompanied Emperor Wen to the end of his life. One is Mrs. Xuanhua Chen, and the other is Mrs. Ronghua Cai. Two young and beautiful women of the Southern Dynasty soothed Emperor Wen's lonely heart and brought warmth and joy to his old age.

Emperor Wen of Sui has been a hero all his life, and as the lord of the world, he can finally sing with his favorite concubines openly and openly after Queen Dugu leaves. Compared with the two boxes, Emperor Wen feels too good.

Thinking that when Queen Dugu was alive, how could Yang Jian dare to be so free as he is now, and if he played a girl with Wei Chi, he would be scolded and dealt with by the queen. How good it is now, this young southern girl is playing well. Mr. Qian Zhongshu has a very interesting analogy about this old man falling in love.

Saying that this old man is in love is like "the old house is on fire, it's endless". Yang Jian enjoys it very much, and life is very good. Anyway, Chang'an has a prince in charge of the country, of course he is relieved of such an excellent successor, and he even wants to stay in Renshou Palace and not return to Daxing City.

It may also be that the depression has been too long, Yang Jian's body is too overdrawn during the love period, and the old bones are quickly hollowed out.

It seems that you have to be in moderation in everything you eat and sleep, and if you don't have moderation, it will be over quickly. Before going to the underworld, when his life was about to come to an end, Lao Yang Tou finally remembered his wife, Miss Dugu Jialuo. I regret it very much, I miss the lonely girl very much.

Yang Jian said a word to the waiter when he died, which was recorded in the history books. "So that the queen is here, I can't do it here." It seems that Hongyan is really a disaster, and heroes such as Yang Jian are also sad to pass the beauty pass.

said that this Ronghua Mrs. Cai's family is not recorded in the specific history books, only that this sister is from Danyang, that is, from Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province. However, this Xuanhua lady Chen is recorded in the history books in great detail, and it has had an impact on the development of history, and has added a lot of burdens and troubles to those of us who want to know the truth of history.

Beauty originally had nothing to do with politics, but the emperor's beauty was a little different. There are still many doubts in history about the death of Emperor Wen. The Book of Sui does not say it at all. But Daming Dingding's "Zizhi Tongjian" can be said in detail.

It is said that in June and July of the fourth year of Renshou (604 AD), Emperor Wen was seriously ill, and the emperor was on vacation in Renshou Palace at this time, and he came just after the New Year, and it has been half a year.

At this time, recruiting the prince and the minister to serve the sick has two meanings. One is to really take care of Daddy. But more important is the next one, for the sake of a smooth transition and in case of unrest.

If something happens to the emperor, if the prince and minister are not around, someone will fake the edict and order the world, which will be troublesome. At this time, in addition to the palace maid and the two beauties who were by the emperor's side, they were the minister and the crown prince Yang Guang. The crown prince lived in the Great Treasure Hall, next to the emperor's bedchamber.

The ministers are Yang Su, the left servant, Liu Shu, the head of the military department, and Yuan Yan, the squire of the Yellow Gate. Two things happened. One thing is that Yang Guang has to write a letter to Yang Sutong every day to contact him one-way to find out about his father's illness, and by the way to discuss countermeasures and arrange military affairs.

This happened a major event that almost affected the crown prince Yang Guang's advancement. said that once the two brothers sent too frequent and hidden information, the messenger accidentally reached the boss Yang Jian by mistake in the process of transmitting the message.

Because it was a sensitive period for politics at that time, the letter did not indicate who the sender was and who the recipient was. The messenger doesn't know. That's it, a small cha cuò, almost sent Yang Guang and Yang Su to the underworld. When the emperor got this letter, it was necessary to be angry. "Oh, I'm not dead yet, you guys are here to arrange the aftermath, how you will ascend to power, how you will govern."

The consequences are naturally very severe. There is one more thing, which is even more intolerable. said that one morning, this Xuanhua lady Chen came to see this Yang Jian in the morning. Yang Jian noticed that there was something wrong with this beauty's expression, so he asked Mrs. Xuanhua, "What's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Hyun Ran said: "The prince is rude! The "rudeness" here does not mean that Yang Guang is rude to Chen. Rudeness in ancient Chinese, especially when spoken to female compatriots, can be strictly zhòng, specifically referring to sexual assault on female compatriots.

This is okay, then Yang Jian was very angry, patted the dragon couch and shouted: "This brute, Dugu Jialuo misunderstood me." ”

Immediately inform Liu Shu and Yuan Yan and ask them to recruit their sons. This Liu Shu was also about to call the prince over, but Yang Jian clearly told him that they should call the abolished prince Yang Yong over. The emperor's purpose is very clear, he wants to abolish Yang Guang and re-establish Yang Yong. This Liu Shu and Yuan Yan immediately came out to prepare to draft the edict. Yang Guang's abolition was instantaneous.

At the last moment. Yang Su made a move. As soon as Yang Su got the news, he immediately reported this urgent information to the crown prince Yang Guang.

Yang Guang didn't dare to slack off, Yang Guang first took down Liu Shu and Yuan Yan in the name of the emperor, and immediately sent the guards of the East Palace to hand over the weapons of the forbidden soldiers in the emperor's bedroom. and sent his cronies Yu Wenshu and Guo Yan to guard the palace ban, and then drove the ** personnel out of the palace and forbade a qiē person to contact the emperor. At the same time, he replaced the attendants with his cronies, Zhang Heng, the prince's right concubine (not the brother who invented the geokinetic instrument). Soon after, Emperor Wen returned to the West. There was a lot of discussion outside, saying that the emperor died a strange death.

The two ladies (Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua) were very afraid. After a while, the prince's envoy sent Mrs. Chen a small gold box with a seal, Mrs. Chen was very frightened, thinking that it was **, and she wanted to give herself death, so frightened that Chen Meinu did not dare to open it, and under the urging of the waiter, she opened it tremblingly and saw that it was a concentric knot. That night, Yang Guang was fortunate to Mrs. Chen.

Wow, according to Mr. Sima Guang's description, this is really wonderful. This narrative is vivid, and I feel that Mr. Sima Guang is filming a historical documentary on the spot, and the key is that the logic is very rigorous. In particular, the description of Yang Guang is very much in line with the image of a depraved, cruel, absurd and insidious last monarch. But what I want to tell you is this: this is not true. History is anything but like that.

The book was written in the 11th century, more than 400 years after the event. The Book of Sui was written in the early Tang Dynasty, just over 20 years after the incident, and many things have been experienced by the writer, so it is more credible

It was Yang Guang who did these two things very strangely. First of all, I exchanged letters with Yang Su, which may have been misreported to Yang Jian.

Because the relationship between the prince and the minister should have avoided suspicion, it would be risky for the two to communicate face-to-face or privately. It is possible that the sender does not know who the letter is addressed to, and does not dare to openly indicate who wrote the letter, to whom it was delivered, and so on.

Therefore, it is normal for the emperor to find out that the private messages of the two brothers, and it is not surprising that the emperor is angry. But thinking about it on the other hand, isn't the private message exchange between Yang Guang and Yang Su necessary? Urgent? When the old emperor was seriously ill, and he could not openly talk about the posthumous affairs of the chairman and general manager of the company and the important decision-making opinions of the imperial court during the sensitive period of the government, this way of writing privately was a safe and reliable way, and it was a good way. In addition, ** and sexual assault on Mrs. Xuanhua, this is simply a fantasy.

Three reasons: First of all, Yang Guang is not a person with casual feelings, impulsive behavior, and overflowing mood. Criminal psychology research shows that a person's behavior is regulated by his heart, and the behavioral process is controlled by personality characteristics. Yang Guang's personality is very serious, and the city government is very deep.

Judging from his political struggle with Yang Yong, Ping Chen, and all the expressions during his tenure as the governor of Yangzhou, he did things in a planned, orderly, and step-by-step manner, neither offside nor lacking positions, and he was very good at proportion, and never did anything out of the ordinary on a whim or impulse.

He was still a persistent person. The grandson, who has been pretending to seize power for 20 years, has been playing with his life for 20 years, and the image of a sage monarch who is modest, thrifty, dignified, modest and cautious has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Daddy was going to die soon, and he knew better than anyone else.

How could he not wait for such a few days to casually make such a stupid act that would have an impact on his ascension to the throne? Plus, he's not a ** person. It is recorded in the history books that he only favored the queen Concubine Xiao, and the three sons he gave birth to were all born to Concubine Xiao.

On the other hand, if Yang Guang is really **, as the emperor, he has the absolute right to favor any woman he likes and give him more princes. Then there should be more than three of his princes.

So, there are doubts about the events of this day. Yang Guang didn't have ** Concubine Chen, and he didn't kill his father. That's weird. Why did Mr. Sima Guang describe it like this? Are there any of these two things? What is the truth of history? Let's go back 1,400 years and carefully analyze historical materials to restore a real historical scene.

In June and July of the fourth year of Renshou (604 AD), Comrade Yang Jian, Emperor Wen, finally felt that he could not do well, he was sick, very sick. The causes of illness are mainly twofold. One is indeed older.

The perennial career of fighting horses, the struggle of court politics and the work of state affairs have eroded Yang Jian's health. Just like a machine, it is in disrepair and used for too long a time, and the parts of the machine are aging and wearing, and it is inevitable to get sick.

Another reason is that Queen Dugu is gone, missing a political ally, he lacks a spiritual pillar, and the emptiness and loneliness in his heart make him addicted to wine and directly make his health worse.

During this period, it was indeed Liu Shu, Yang Su and the crown prince Yang Guang who accompanied him in Renshou Palace. Mr. Sima Guang said that Yuan Yan had already died, and he hung up during the Kaihuang period, and there was no such brother here. Of course, there are also Mrs. Xuanhua and Mrs. Ronghua who accompanied him to the end of his life.

It is true that Yang Su and Yang Guang have correspondence, and at the same time, the letter they discussed the major affairs of the military aircraft did reach Yang Jian's hand by mistake under the mistake of the messenger, and Yang Jian was indeed very angry. At the last moment of his life, Yang Jian did hold Yang Guang's neck and handed him over to He Chou and other ministers, and he did say goodbye to the ministers.

He did say, "Let the queen be here, and I will not do it yet." "During the period of safety, Yang Guang did drive the palace people out of the emperor's dormitory, and indeed sent guards to guard the palace gate.

As the successor of the special period of the empire, in order to maintain the security of the empire and the smooth handover of power, it is understandable for him to do these things. Act decisively, necessary and in place. But here are a few things that I believe he definitely didn't do.

Sexually assaulted and raped Mrs. Xuanhua Chen! What's more, some people grandly pressed the death of their father Yang Jian on Yang Guang's head. said that he killed the king's prostitute mother and forced his sister to seize power! I don't think this is just a joke, it's a nonsense and nonsense.
