Chapter 56: Yang Jian enters the palace
This story is pure fiction
Yang Jian and Fu Bo just stood at the gate of the palace and waited.
At this time, Gonggong Jia, the head of the inner house, came from the palace and saw Yang Jian standing outside the palace gate, and stepped forward to greet him: "General Yang, why are you standing outside the palace on a cold day?" ”
Yang Jian saw that it was Father-in-law Jia, and stepped forward to salute and said: "Father-in-law Jia, I heard that the emperor is sick, I specially went to the gate of the palace to pray for the emperor, hoping that the emperor can recover as soon as possible." After Yang Jian finished speaking, he wanted to ask Gonggong Jia about the emperor's situation: "Gonggong Jia, I don't know if the emperor is in better health?" ”
Father-in-law Jia shook his head and said, "I guess I was scared last night, and I'm still asleep." Last night, Commander Cao led people to chase the assassins, but he didn't expect the assassins to enter the palace of Qi Yang. It must be the palace, Commander Cao didn't dare to go in casually to get people, and came back to ask for a decree, the emperor was still in a coma, and he couldn't issue a decree, so Commander Cao had to surround Qi Yang's palace. Father-in-law Jia still wanted to say something, so he took back his words and said to Yang Jian: "General Yang, you better go back first, it's good to freeze you on such a cold day." If you have such a heart, the emperor will know. The slave family has to hurry to the prince's mansion and ask His Royal Highness the prince to come to the palace. After saying that, he saluted Yang Jian, and left in a hurry.
After Father-in-law Jia left, Fu Bo whispered in Yang Jian's ear: "General, do you think we should go back, or continue to wait?" Fu Bo was also afraid that Yang Jian's body would freeze. And now that the emperor is still in a coma, it's not a matter of waiting like this, but he doesn't know why Yang Jian is waiting at the gate of the palace.
"Wait on, no matter how cold it is, you have to wait, you are cold and Xiao An will change meetings, you are also old, you can't always be so cold outside." Fu Bo must have followed Yang Jian for so many years, and he is getting older, on such a cold day, he is still with him outside to be cold, Yang Jian still can't bear it, but Yang Jian himself knows that this must wait, he doesn't believe it over there, he must not be able to leave here. He also knew Qiao'er's intentions, he couldn't call people to the mansion to get together. Because if you shout to go to the mansion, His Majesty the Emperor will think that the emperor is still sick, and you are celebrating in your own mansion, and the result is not good. Yang Jian could only wait at the gate of the palace, this was the only good way, so he had to insist on waiting.
Yang Jian and Fu Bo insisted on standing at the gate of the palace, some ministers who were ready to enter the palace to ask His Majesty the emperor about the situation, saw Yang Jian waiting at the gate of the palace, everyone heard that Yang Jian was praying for the emperor at the gate of the palace, and then they all joined in, and slowly, more and more people came. Some people have heard that everyone is praying for the emperor at the gate of the palace, and they have made a special trip to show their loyalty.
When Gonggong Jia came back from the Prince's Mansion, he saw Yang Jian still standing at the door, followed by some ministers, Gonggong Jia went up to say hello to everyone, and told everyone that His Majesty the Emperor had any news, and he would notify everyone immediately, and then he went into the palace.
Not long after, the prince also came, and when he saw so many people standing at the door, he took a closer look, and his father-in-law was also there, so he got out of the sedan chair and said hello to Yang Jian, and everyone greeted the prince. The prince asked what was going on at the gate of the palace, and when he heard that his father-in-law took the lead in praying for the emperor at the gate of the palace, he praised him a lot, and then went into the palace to see his father. Everyone saw that the prince praised Yang Jian, and they all praised Yang Jian, saying that Yang Jian's loyalty could be learned. Yang Jian didn't show joy, and he also returned the gift to everyone, only he knew why he wanted to do it, and the expected effect was much better than what he wanted.
About an hour later, a team of people suddenly came out of the palace and drove south non-stop. Yang Jian saw it, and it was estimated that His Majesty the Emperor had woken up, and this was to send someone to Qi Yang's palace to deliver the decree. Yang Jian was a little worried that Qiao'er and Youtian were coming. But he can't move now, and he can't make any movements, otherwise everything Qiao'er planned for him will be in vain, and he still stands there expressionlessly, as if he doesn't know anything, or continues to pray for His Majesty the Emperor. He believes that Qiao'er and Youtian will be able to save the day if they arrange it this way, and it is useless for him to worry about it now, instead of worrying, it is better to implement Qiao'er's strategy well.
Some of the ministers next to them looked at the team of palace guards who came out, a little nervous, they didn't know what was going on, and some were rejoicing, glad that they were praying for the emperor at the gate of the palace and would not involve themselves. I thought to myself, these palace guards will arrest whoever they want, as long as they don't arrest themselves.
After about half an hour, Gonggong Jia came out and said to the ministers outside the palace: "The emperor Xuanyang General enters the palace to face the saint, and the other adults can go back to the house first, the emperor knows everyone's loyalty, don't be cold outside, hurry back to the house." After speaking, he saluted Yang Jian and said, "General Yang, will you enter the palace with the Sprinkle family?" Yang Jian returned the salute to Father-in-law Jia: "Thank you Father-in-law Jia, please ask Father-in-law Jia to lead the way." After saying that, he made a gesture of please, and Gonggong Jia was ready to take Yang Jian into the palace to face the saint. Yang Jian hurriedly said to Fu Bo: "Fu Bo, you go to the carriage and wait for me with Xiao An first, at such an old age, don't freeze." After speaking, he followed Gonggong Jia into the palace.
Father-in-law Jia took Yang Jian to the emperor's bedroom, the prince was also there, after Yang Jian knocked long live, and after the prince also knocked to the prince, the emperor asked Yang Jian to get up. After Yang Jian got up, he stood next to the crown prince and waited for further instructions from the emperor.
Yu Wenyong said to Yang Jian weakly: "Yang Aiqing, I heard that you led a group of ministers to pray for me at the gate of the palace?" "I must have been too frightened, and it didn't take long for me to wake up, and my strength hadn't recovered yet.
Yang Jian hurriedly bowed his waist and replied to the emperor: "Weichen heard that the emperor is sick, and the minister is not the imperial doctor, so he can't eradicate the disease for the emperor, so he can only stand at the gate of the palace and pray for the emperor, hoping that the emperor will recover soon." ”
Yu Wenyong then said to Yang Jian: "I know Yang Aiqing's loyalty and filial piety, but does Yang Aiqing know how I am sick?" ”
Yang Jian didn't know how Yuwen Yong was sick, but in front of Yu Wenyong, he might not let Yu Wenyong notice anything. Hurriedly returned to the emperor and said: "Weichen doesn't know, isn't it the wind chill caused by the cold weather?" Yang Jian is pretending to be confused here.
"Hmph, I was in the middle of the day, and the wind and cold could cause me to be so sick? It was yesterday that the Assassins came to the palace. It is said that the Yaksha came from hell to take my life, but fortunately, Commander Cao brought people in in time, and if he came one step late, I am afraid that it will not be you praying for me at the gate of the palace, but today you will have to enter the palace and wear white clothes for me. Yu Wenyong suppressed the anger in his heart and said.
After hearing this, Yang Jian said very angrily: "Who is so bold as to dare to assassinate the emperor, no matter what hell Yasha he is, even if it is Shangluo Daxian, Weichen will arrest the assassin for the emperor, and the assassin will be broken into ten thousand pieces." "Yang Jian's performance in this play is good, otherwise, showing a little flaw in front of Yu Wenyong is a big crime full of beheadings.
After listening to Yang Jian's words, Yu Wenyong was still very relieved in his heart, and said to Yang Jian: "Yang Aiqing's loyalty, I know it, so I don't have to bother Yang Aiqing, I have already sent Commander Cao to arrest the assassin." Yu Wenyong said slowly: "I don't know what Yang Aiqing thinks about my policy of exterminating Buddhism?" ”
Yang Jian heard it, this is the emperor Lao'er is testing Yang Jian, Yang Jian can't be sloppy, Yang Jian said sonorously: "The emperor's policy of exterminating Buddhism is a major policy of the country, those monks do not have to pay taxes, many large landlords, and even some officials have attached their fields to the temple gate, so they evade taxes, and this kind of work should be destroyed." In fact, Yang Jian knows in his heart that authentic Buddhism is to save people, and it is also a kind of belief, which is upward for people. It's just that some monasteries have deviated from the essence in promoting Buddhism, and this kind of person must be eliminated, but it can't be said at all, Yang Jian can't tell the emperor clearly, it must be a sensitive period now. I can only talk about those who corrupt the authentic Dharma of Buddhism.
When Yu Wenyong heard Yang Jian say this, the doubts in his heart also disappeared, and there were really some people who didn't know the reason why he really destroyed the Buddha. And Yang Jian catered to his idea at once.
After listening to Yang Jian, Yuwen Yong wanted to make some things clear to Yang Jian: "Yang Aiqing, I heard that you have a good relationship with some monks in private, and you have let some monks go in private, but is there such a thing?" ”
Yang Jian knew that his dangerous period had passed, because Yu Wenyong dared to tell him this, which had alleviated his suspicions, but Yang Jian still had to pretend and continue to be a fool here, and he couldn't make a mistake at this time. Yang Jian hurriedly knelt down and said slightly: "Emperor Mingjian, Weichen is the emperor, and he fought for the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the South, how can he have time to have contact with these monks, and even let them go, this is the crime of exterminating the nine clans, and Weichen does not dare to commit the world's great disapproval." After saying that, he lay on the ground and didn't dare to get up.
"Hahaha...... look at what scared Yang Aiqing, I was just tempting you, I still know that you are loyal, this kind of rebellious thing, you won't do it, and you don't dare to do it, hurry up." Yu Wenyong saw that Yang Jian was frightened like this, and thought to himself that Yang Jian would not dare to do such a thing, so let's wait for King Qi Yang to return to Chang'an. The biggest thing now was to catch the assassin in Qi Yang Palace, but he didn't expect the assassin to run to Qi Yang Palace. Moreover, the people of Qi Yang's palace actually didn't let the palace guards go in to catch the assassin, which was a bit interesting, and Yang Jian's answer made Yu Wenyong have some doubts about his brother. But you can't show it in front of Yang Jian. After a pause, he said to Yang Jian: "Yang Aiqing has also prayed for me outside the palace for a few hours, and I am now a little better, so you can go back to the house and rest early." ”
Yang Jian saw that Yu Wenyong's doubts about him had subsided a little, so he knelt down with the emperor, and then withdrew from the emperor's bedroom.
After Yang Jian withdrew from the emperor's bedroom, he came to the outside of the palace, and saw that the ministers praying outside the door were gone, and his carriage was still parked there. Yang Jian also knew that it was an extraordinary time, so he didn't want something to happen across the wall, so he quickly got into the carriage with Fu Bo and went home.
