"What exactly is the Supreme going to do?"
In the queen's palace, only the emperor and the queen sat opposite each other and tasted tea, and there was no more one in the palace, and all the eunuchs were expelled from afar. The Emperor and Empress met with the Emperor and the Empress here in the afternoon, but the Emperor did not leave immediately to return to the Manna Hall afterwards. The emperor made an exception to stay, and after the incident of Wei Chi Fanchi, although the emperor often moved to the palace, he almost did not stay here. Every time the emperor came to see the queen, he would not stay overnight, and now the emperor is more likely to spend the night at the three ladies of Xuanhua, Ronghua, and Hongzheng. The emperor unexpectedly stayed in the Lizheng Palace, and many of the close attendants who had followed the two saints for many years realized that things were not simple.
After only the aging emperor couple were left in the palace, Queen Dugu finally asked. Recently, the emperor's series of wills made the Dugu clan, who followed Yang Jian to fight the world together, also feel a little dazzled, as if looking at flowers in the fog. The empire was captured by the husband and wife, so for nearly twenty years, they also ruled the empire together. The emperor has been in power for eighteen years, but although the queen is now getting old and her body is no longer young, the emperor has favored the three young and beautiful ladies. However, in real military affairs, the emperor has always attached great importance to the empress's opinions, and even the weight of the empress's words in court politics has even exceeded that of the prime minister in the court. Over the years, the couple has complemented each other. usurped the throne of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then unified the world. This is something that countless couples have not done for generations.
They are also rare emperors and empresses who have a special tacit understanding since ancient times, but now. Empress Dugu felt that she couldn't keep up with the emperor's footsteps.
At the beginning, they discussed and discussed for a long time, and finally preliminarily determined the view that the crown prince Yang Yong was overwhelmed, and the couple also carefully observed and repeatedly discussed, and decided to abolish the crown prince Yang Yong and replace it with a more virtuous and promising second son, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, to take over the throne and inherit the empire in the future. It was precisely because of such a common view and resolution that the couple began to implement this plan step by step, to build momentum for the Jin king, and at the same time began to eliminate the forces supporting the prince step by step. In order to allow the king of Jin to take over the position of prince. But now, Empress Dugu felt that the emperor's mind seemed to have changed again.
Yang Jian sat with a teacup, and in the face of the queen's question, he himself was a little uncertain.
At the beginning, he had indeed made up his mind to replace Yang Guang as the reserve. But over the years, his thinking has changed a little.
He began to hesitate, of course, it was not that he still had hope for Yang Yong, but that he was a little uneasy about Yang Guang, the king of Jin. In other words, he was suddenly a little afraid of the second son Yang Guang, who was known as a virtuous man. The second son Yang Guang, who was unanimously praised by the government and the opposition, gave Yang Jian a sense of crisis. Especially after Yang Guang entered the dynasty this time, he has formed a solid alliance with Yang Su. It has also won the support of many important ministers in the DPRK and China, and many core families of the Guanlong Group have also clearly expressed their support for him. It stands to reason that the ability shown by the second son Yang Yong should make him happy and happy. After all, this shows that he and the queen did not look away, and Yang Guang is indeed more capable than Yang Yong. More suitable for inheriting the country in the future. However, Gao Gong, the head of the hundred officials who had been in charge of the hundred officials for nearly twenty years, was also defeated under the alliance of Yang Guang and Yang Su. Yang Jian was really a little uneasy. This made him feel a strong crisis, this son is too sharp. In the early years, with the crown prince on it, and without his own support, he was still relatively low-key, but now as soon as he and the queen expressed their intention to make him the prince, he immediately became extremely sharp. And the support of the important ministers of the DPRK and the Guanlong group for Yang Guang made him even more uneasy.
Not to mention that Yang Guang is his son, how about his son, he didn't usurp his grandson's Northern Zhou throne at the beginning, so he had the current Great Sui. After sitting in the country for eighteen years, Yang Jian is more and more reluctant to hold this right in his hands.
Queen Dugu looked at her husband, even if her husband who was close to the sixtieth birthday tonic, he was still the same as herself, unable to resist the erosion of time, the years had left obvious traces on their bodies, the loose skin on their faces, more and more wrinkles, and the gray hair, all showed that they were really old. Even if you are the supreme in the world, you are as old as a peddler's pawn.
"Your Majesty has changed your mind, don't you want to change your storage?" The five princes are all born to Dugu Jialuo, and for the abolition of Yong Liguang, it is not out of the mother's preference for which child, if you want to say preference, in fact, Dugu prefers the youngest son Yang Liang. Abolishing Yong Liguang is actually Dugu Jialuo's consideration from the thousands of generations of the Great Sui Dynasty, which is the result of long-term considerations, which is public rather than private.
Yang Jian finally shook his head: "Seeing that the land is not worthy of being the king of a country." ”
"What the hell is your majesty thinking now?" Dugu asked. The prince is the foundation of a country, and there is no room for indecision in this matter. Especially now that they are getting older and older, the fifty-nine-year-old emperor, in the life span of the emperors of the past dynasties, this longevity is already considered a high lifespan, no one knows which day they will not be able to hold on to the west, if they don't deal with this matter early, I am afraid that after their Spring and Autumn Period, the empire will be because of the inheritance, and the Xiao Wall will cause chaos, she doesn't want such a thing to happen. If the emperor thinks that Yang Yong is not capable of inheriting the unification, then he should change the reserve as soon as possible, and change it as soon as possible.
"Among the five princes, only Ah Mo is the most suitable." Although Yang Jian has some strange views on Yang Guang now, in fact, he still has to admit that if Yang Yong is to be replaced, Yang Guang is still the most suitable to be the crown prince.
Dugu sighed: "Since this is the case, why does His Majesty want to make Sumeru the grandson." If it is only to stabilize the situation between the DPRK and China, then there is no need to officially canonize him as the grandson. "Dugu actually likes this eldest grandson very much, but when it comes to national affairs, she opposes the appointment of Yang Lin as the grandson." Your Majesty This is to put Sumeru in the Jedi, have you ever thought that he will be ruined day by day, you and I will still be there at that time, and the new prince has some scruples, and may not be embarrassed by him. But once the majesty xià big line. At that time, how do you think he will treat Sumeru? He'll be able to tolerate this being much younger than him. Have you ever been the nephew of your grandson? "Dugu is telling the truth, Yang Guang may tolerate Yang Yong in the future. After all, this waste prince is older than him, and he may not be able to survive him. Even if he can live longer than Yang Guang, when Yang Guang is old, Yang Yong will definitely be even older. But the emperor and grandson Yang Lin are different, Yang Lin is only nineteen, and when Yang Guang is old, Yang Lin is in the prime of life at that time. And Yang Lin is not as incompetent as Yang Yong, this is the most capable of literature and martial arts among the younger generation of the royal family, and now he has set up the imperial grandson. In the future, how can Yang Guang tolerate such a nephew as a hidden danger?
The emperor appointed Yang Lin as his grandson. On the surface, it seems that he loves this grandson, but it will hurt him in the future.
"Actually, Sumeru is also very good, I have watched him for a long time, both his personality and mind are quite wise and mature, and he has the bearing of a king in doing things." Yang Jian said a little carelessly.
The queen immediately retorted: "But Sumeru is the grandson of the emperor, and since ancient times, there has never been a prince in the establishment of a grandson, let alone a prince who does not pass on the throne to the prince, but to the grandson, this is the way to take trouble." "Originally, the prince and grandson stood side by side. It is already the first time since ancient times that the wasteland has been broken, will it be necessary to skip the crown prince and pass it directly to the imperial grandson in the future? This is simply going to be messed up, not to mention the rest of the princes. I'm afraid that the prince won't agree.
was said by the queen, Yang Jian also replied a little clear, "Wait for the day of the triumph of the Northern Expedition." At that time, I abolished Yong Liguang, as for Sumeru. When the time comes, let Ah Mo swear in front of us that he will be kind to Sumeru in the future. ”
Queen Dugu shook her head helplessly. She didn't know why the emperor wanted to make a simple matter so complicated.
"I hope Ah Mo can keep his oath to treat Sumeru well in the future, otherwise we will harm this child." Thinking about this child who was left behind by the people at such a young age, and then rolled in the reckless rivers and lakes for many years, and finally returned to the royal family, but now he was pushed to such a dangerous position, the Dugu clan really felt that he owed too much to this child.
At this moment, a hurried report suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Qi Yu two saints, the left servant shoots Gao Gong, the right servant shoots Yang Sunayan, Suwei Nei Shi Lingliu Shu knocks outside the gate, there is an urgent matter." The chamberlain Wang Hai couldn't care about the sudden report that disturbed the emperor and queen at this time, it was really too serious, and he didn't dare to delay it at all. The four prime ministers jointly knocked on the palace gate, which was an unprecedented event.
Now it's dark, the palace door has been locked, and under normal circumstances, it is not a hundred thousand urgent things, and the inside and outside of the palace are isolated.
Yang Jian originally frowned slightly because he was disturbed, but when he heard the four prime ministers knocking on the palace door at night, he couldn't help but change his face.
"What's wrong?" Yang Jian asked in surprise, could it be that the Turks had already broken through the border pass and killed them? But even if the border is in an emergency, it is impossible for the four prime ministers to knock on the palace door overnight to ask for a meeting. Unless the Turks have already hit near Gyeonggi!
Wang Hai's face turned pale, he knelt down with a plop, and hurriedly replied: "The imperial grandson has been assassinated!" ”
"What!" This time, it was Dugu's turn to be unable to calm down anymore, and when he heard this, he stood up violently like a cat that had been stepped on by his tail, his face changed greatly, and he asked in surprise.
"Back to the second saint, the four prime ministers reported urgently, and the imperial grandson was assassinated on the way back from the palace!"
Yang Jian and Dugu almost subconsciously thought of what they had just said, but they didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the imperial grandson was assassinated on the street returning from the palace to the palace. The two looked at each other, and they both thought of someone. At this moment, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo did lock the suspect on the future new prince Yang Guang that they had re-established for the first time.
Yang Jian was almost about to go crazy on the spot, as soon as the queen said that, he really felt that he had made his grandson the grandson, although it could indeed help him suppress the prestige of his son Yang Guang, but in this way, he did put his grandson Yang Lin on the fire and roasted him, putting him in an awkward and dangerous position. I was still feeling a little guilty about my grandson Yang Lin, but I didn't expect Yang Lin to be assassinated in this turn, and he was about to call out Yang Guang's name almost immediately. Fortunately, at this time, the Dugu clan remained a little sober, and asked at the moment: "How is Sumeru now?" Are you injured? Can you catch the assassin and find out if the person who instructed you can find out? ”
A series of questions were asked, all of which went straight to the point.
Wang Hai hurriedly replied: "According to Gao Fuji, His Royal Highness Taisun was assassinated on Second Street, and there were thirty-six assassins, and they had already planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the Lantern Festival to go to Dongshi in a carriage to enjoy the lanterns, pretending to crash and quarrel, blocking the road, and when His Royal Highness Taisun passed by, they suddenly attacked. These assassins were all well-trained dead soldiers, and all of them were armed with highly poisoned crossbows, and even hid two three-bowed eight-ox crossbows in their carriages to attack the grandson's carriage."
Yang Jian's face was blue, and the Dugu clan was no better, his face was pale. They didn't expect that there were actually thirty-six premeditated assassins, carefully designed, and even possessed military crossbows, as well as two extremely powerful eight-bull crossbows.
"Is the imperial grandson injured?" Dugu asked urgently.
"When it was attacked, fortunately, the guards around the imperial grandson were desperately protected, and His Royal Highness was auspicious, and God blessed him and was not injured, but he was a little frightened. However, seven of the guards around His Highness died, three were killed on the spot by the Eight Bull Crossbow, and the other four died after being fed a poisonous crossbow arrow. Wang Hai truthfully reported the news he had heard from several prime ministers.
"What about the assassins, have you caught them?" Yang Jian gritted his teeth and asked. Dare to openly assassinate the emperor's grandson in the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, this is simply lawless.
Twenty-four of the thirty-six Assassins were killed on the spot and twelve were taken prisoner, but three of the captured Assassins were unprepared for poisoning themselves, and nine remained prisoners. At present, these nine assassins have been handed over to Dali Temple by His Royal Highness Taisun, and Dali Temple is currently being interrogated. ”
"How can this be justified, how can this be justified!" Yang Jian shouted angrily and smashed the white porcelain teacup in his hand. "Spread the decree, immediately open the palace gate, and announce the four people of Gao Gong, Yang Su, Su Wei, and Liu Shu to face the holy temple. Then send the order to Dali Temple, together with the Criminal Department and the Yushitai Sanya, to interrogate the assassins, those nine assassins are all good for me, and if one of them dies, I will be buried together in Dali Temple, Wang Hai, you personally go to Dali Temple to supervise the interrogation, I want to know who is behind the scenes. Then he ordered the guards of the left and right prisons to immediately close the whole city, close the gates of the city, and immediately impose martial law, and no one in the city was allowed to leave the city. Reserve Mansion, Qin Xunyi, Three Guards and Five Mansions guard the palace and strengthen vigilance! ”
At the end, Yang Jian issued another decree: "Summoning all the kings to enter the palace immediately to see the driver, and summoning all the officials above the five grades in Beijing to immediately merge into the Liangyi Hall to wait for the decree!" ”
The Son of Heaven was furious, a series of decrees were issued, the three days of joy of the Shangyuan Festival ended early, the Beijing division was curfew again, and a full martial law began, the Praetorian Guard troops were dispatched again and again, and the entire Beijing division fell into a panic and uneasiness!
