Chapter 53

Yang Xuangan committed suicide in defeat, and his brother Yang Jishan was taken off the head together, Emperor Yang of Sui hated it to the bone, ordered people to hang their beheaded heads outside the noon gate, and the headless corpse was hung in the public for three days, three days later, people set fire to burn it to ashes, all those involved with it and their families, copied and beheaded, exiled, in an instant, Yang Xuangan's vein was killed and injured, the former huge Sikong Mansion was copied and exterminated, Yang Siniang's little girl instantly changed from a noble girl to a criminal slave who filled the court.

This bloody purge and massacre caused the people of the entire Luoyang City to panic all day long, growing to such a big age, the first time in her life to see the bloody and cruel imperial power of the eldest grandson and little lady was also shocked, but before she could come to her senses, the Gao family was implicated, although Yang Xuangan had been ambushed, and Yang Xuangan's conspiratorial military department Shangshu Hu Sizheng fled to Goryeo.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not catch Hu Sizheng, so he turned his anger to Hu Sizheng's clansmen and a group of officials who had a personal relationship with Hu Sizheng, needless to say, the fate of Hu Sizheng's clansmen, but said that those who had a slight friendship with Hu Sizheng in the past have suffered, Emperor Yang of Sui did not ask the reason, and everyone who had a good personal relationship with Hu Sizheng was arrested and taken to prison.

After arriving in prison, and then interrogated one by one, Gao Shilian was no exception, early on the morning of the third day of the eighth month of the ninth year of the Great Cause, Gao Shilian, who had just arrived at the official office, was locked and taken into prison, and when the news was transmitted back to Gaofu at noon, Mrs. Mu fainted on the spot, Xian Yushi only felt a buzz in his brain, his mind was blank, and he couldn't react at all.

Gao Shilian's two concubines were frightened by the two tremors, panicked, Gao was also shocked by this sudden change of brains, and couldn't slow down for a long time, and finally Wen Xun rushed over The eldest grandson and little lady stabilized the overall situation, she first asked Yahuan to help Mrs. Mu into the inner room with herself.

When she came out of the room, she looked at her mother who had recovered from the news just now and Xian Yu, who was still in a daze, calmed down slightly, walked to Xian Yu's side and shook her awake, and then said: "Uncle, Auntie, uncle was only temporarily imprisoned, not convicted, uncle has always been upright as an official, and he is even more loyal to His Majesty, although he has some personal relations with Hu Sizheng, but it is impossible to participate in the rebellion, just wait for the truth of the matter to be clarified, it will naturally be released, you don't have to worry too much." “

She said these words slowly, her tone was calm, and she couldn't see the slightest panic and anxiety on her face, the crisp and sweet voice of the twelve-year-old girl actually had an inexplicable soothing power at this moment, and the Xian Yu clan, who was shocked by her husband's imprisonment, gradually quieted down in her sweet and soft voice, she looked at the eldest grandson and the little lady for a long time, and said: "Erniang, your uncle and him, will it really be okay?" “

"No, it won't." The eldest grandson and the little lady replied with a firm face, during the days of the chaos in Luoyang, my uncle was trapped at home and couldn't get out, if he really had anything to do with Yang Xuan's feelings, why didn't he reveal anything? Through various signs, the eldest grandson and little lady can be sure that his uncle did not participate in the rebellion between Yang Xuangan and Hu Si, as long as he did not participate in this matter, with his uncle's connections in Luoyang and the relationship between the Tang Guogong Mansion and his own family, everyone would naturally not watch him be convicted for no reason.

The eldest grandson and the little lady expected that on the afternoon of Gao Shilian's imprisonment, Li Erlang specially came to Gaofu and told everyone in Gaofu that there was no need to worry, Gao Shilian was not the only one who was arrested and imprisoned this time, and everyone who had personal relations with Hu Sizheng was arrested, and they were to be tried one by one to confirm that they did not participate in the rebellion, and they would be released.

After the Gao family got Li Erlang's words, their hearts were a little more stable, but in view of the emperor's moody temperament recently, Xian Yu and Old Madam Mu couldn't completely put down their hearts, but it was useless to be anxious, they could only wait silently at home.

The eldest grandson of the little lady's brother, the eldest grandson Wuji, has grown a lot in recent years, he knew about it when he was in the country, although he was surprised when he first heard about it, but he didn't mess with it, first appeased his cousin Gao Cheng and his younger brother Wuyi, and then hurried back with them, and when he went home, he found that there was no chaos at home, so he was relieved.

A few days later, the results of the interrogation of the people who were arrested came out, except for the two of them who were somewhat unclear about the matter, the others did not know about Hu Si Zheng's rebellion before this, Gao Shilian was the same, and he really couldn't find out that these people had collusion with Hu Si Zheng, no matter how angry Emperor Yang of Sui was, it was impossible to kill these people for no reason, so he could only release them.

Gao Shilian returned unharmed, everyone in the Gao Mansion was overjoyed, Mrs. Mu instructed people to take wormwood to smoke the threshold, in order to get bad luck, while holding her son's hand, looking up and down, her mouth kept nagging: "Thin, people are also haggard......" she said in her mouth, tears flowed down her cheeks unconsciously, only Gao Shilian and Gao's son and daughter under Mu's knees, her husband has already passed away, if the son is three long and two short...... As soon as his mind fell here, Mu Shi felt that his heart was full of fear.

"Auntie, my son is fine, you don't have to worry." Gao Shilian looked at his mother, who had aged a little in the past few days, and felt that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his voice was a little choked.

"Grandmother, you should be glad that your uncle has returned safely." The eldest grandson and the little lady looked at her nose sourly from the side, and remembered that her grandmother was too old to be happy and sad, so she came over, held one of her arms, and said softly.

"Guanyin is right, it's good if people come back, it's good if people come back......" Mrs. Mu was persuaded by the eldest grandson and little lady, and finally recovered from the fear of not being able to control herself, and said while wiping her eyes.

Gao Shilian came back, everyone in Gaofu thought that this flying disaster was over, but how did he know that this matter was not over at all, a few days later, a derogatory edict came to Gaofu, and Gao Shilian, the five-grade waiter, was demoted to the master of the nine products of Zhu Yuan County, and he was limited to October to rush to his post.

Speaking Emperor Yang of Sui is a very rigid and conceited character, he thinks that he is unparalleled in talent, and all the courtiers are grasshoppers who pinch their palms, no one dares to turn over the wind and waves, as a result, Yang Xuangan, who has always been highly used, stood up naked and gave him a resounding slap in the face, and now although Yang Xuangan is dead, the touch Sizheng who colluded with him ran to Goryeo, and this person is like a thorn in the throat of Emperor Yang.

He couldn't help touching Sizheng for a while, his hatred was hard to eliminate, and people who had personal relations with Sizheng couldn't find evidence of collusion, he couldn't kill people casually, people couldn't kill, but Emperor Yang of Sui didn't want to see those officials who were close to Hu Sizheng dangling under his nose, and in just a few days, more than a dozen officials in Luoyang City were demoted out of the Eastern Capital, and Gao Shilian was just one of them.
