As for the situation of the previous dynasty, it is actually not much different from the harem.

It can be said that with the news of Yang Guang's death, the entire Great Sui was immediately in an unprecedented shock, and countless courtiers poured into the palace in an endless stream, wanting to see Yang Guang's corpse.

However, under Yang Guang's instructions, Yang Gonggong did not hesitate to block all these people from the palace gate, and anyone who dared to step into half a step would be punished for treason.

It also made those officials realize that it was likely to be true.

It's just that Yang Guang's death came too suddenly and caught people off guard, and many people couldn't react immediately. After the night had passed, the officials went around in private and talked about some hidden things.

Yang Guang died, which is a pity.

But the top priority now is not to focus on this matter, but to determine the candidate for the new emperor as soon as possible.

As we all know, now in addition to the fetus in the womb of Empress Xiao, Yang Guang's heir is only Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, who is in the palace of Jiangdu, and if nothing else, Yang Gao, the king of Zhao, should succeed to the throne.

However, Zhao Wang Yang Gao is young after all, and many people don't have much confidence in it. They didn't believe that Yang Gao had the ability of Yang Guang to lead Da Sui out of his current predicament.

Moreover, Yang Gao has never walked around with the officials of the DPRK and China, and if Yang Gao succeeds to the throne, it can be said that none of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can gain benefits, which is not in line with their interests. Therefore, who should replace this position has also become a matter of great confusion for everyone.

But in general, Yang Guang's high-pressure anti-corruption policy and killing corrupt officials during this period of time have indeed played a very significant role. Although the officials of the DPRK and China had different thoughts, there was no one who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to plot rebellion.

This incident undoubtedly made Yang Guang extremely satisfied.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate a group of officials from the court, but since there were no dissenting courtiers appearing, he naturally didn't need to toss too much, after all, no matter how you look at it, this seems to be a good thing, it is conceivable that in the absence of foreign invasion, the Great Sui will be an iron bucket, without too many internal hidden dangers.

This will have extremely significant benefits for the future development of the Great Sui.

At this moment, on death row.

Yang Gonggong wore a white cloth and stood in front of the virtuous Taoist. The virtuous Taoist was scarred and tortured in the past two days, but although he looked extremely weak and only had half a life left, in fact, all the torture was deliberately avoided from the vital position, so it would not kill him in a short time.

The virtuous Taoist was tied to the wooden shelf, shrugging his head, and at the same time, the voice of Yang Gonggong came from his ears.

"Virtuous Taoist, do you see the white cloth on my head?"

"What if you see it? What does the death of your loved one have to do with Lao Tzu? The virtuous Taoist voice was slightly weak, but his attitude was extremely arrogant, because he knew that as long as the poison on Yang Guang's body was not resolved, then he would not have to worry about his life.

"No, you are wrong, it is not my relatives who died, but Your Majesty!" Gonggong Yang said in a cold voice.

"Emperor Yang of Sui? Impossible, less than two days have passed since he was poisoned, and even if he can't get the antidote, he can at least live for a day. The virtuous Taoist raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Gonggong Yang looked at the virtuous Taoist and his eyes were full of hatred: "Your Majesty died this morning, and this matter has now spread all over the Great Sui, haven't you really heard of it?" ”

The virtuous Taoist's pupils shrank fiercely.

Yes, he did hear some rumors on death row, and the former jailers were whispering about it. However, out of self-confidence, the virtuous Taoist has always thought that this news should not be true.

However, the person who now relayed the fact of Yang Guang's death to him was, after all, Yang Guang's close minister, Yang Gonggong.

Others may talk nonsense, but this person ......

"No, I still don't believe it!" The expression of the virtuous Taoist suddenly became hideous, his life was all tied to Yang Guang, if Yang Guang died, how could he survive?

Right now, he doesn't have the joy of succeeding in killing the king, only the panic of Yang Guang's death, after all, he doesn't care about his fame at all, he only cares about his own life.

After all, once a person is dead, there is nothing left.

"Believe it or not, I can't help you." Gonggong Yang looked at him as if he was looking at a dead man: "Your Majesty's death will be caused by you, today I will take you out of death row and announce your crimes to the public, and you should know what kind of punishment you will suffer at that time." ”

"The crime of killing the king, even Ling Chi's death is not enough to relieve the anger of the people, Your Majesty left a last word before his death, to cut off your legs and hands, gouge off your eyes and tongue, and become a human being."

"Ren Bi ......" Xian Dao suddenly felt extremely frightened in his heart, thinking that after the punishment of "Ren Bi" was circulated, he had probably heard of it, and he also knew how vicious this punishment was, and it seemed that it did not kill him, but in fact, it was ten thousand times more vicious than killing him.

Thinking that he was going to continue to live in the form of "human beings", the virtuous Taoist shuddered.

And Gonggong Yang, who had all this in his eyes, quietly shouted to the outside of the cell: "Come on, bring me a knife, I will personally make a virtuous Taoist into a human being!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon there were jailers who responded.

brought in a pig-killing knife for Yang Gonggong.

"The pig-killing knife is much better than an ordinary machete, and it can ensure that when you cut your bones, you will definitely be able to cut them." Gonggong Yang licked his lips, and his gaze looked very cold: "Of course, you may feel a little pain in the process, but as the protector of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, you should be able to bear it." ”

The virtuous Taoist looked at the pig-killing knife, and his heart kept twitching.

He used a pig-killing knife to kill pigs when he was young, but he never thought that today, decades later, he would also taste the taste of watermelon knives.

"Wait!"

Seeing that Gonggong Yang was about to make a move, the virtuous Taoist couldn't hold back any longer, and directly opened his mouth and shouted: "Gonggong Yang, I have no grievances with you, why do you need to make me a human?" You will find a way to exempt me from punishment, and I promise you that I will help you to eliminate the enemies of the harem for you. ”

"Oh? How can you help me? Hearing this, Gonggong Yang seemed to be a little interested, put down the pig-killing knife, and stared directly at the virtuous Taoist.

The virtuous Taoist hurriedly said, "I will poison it!" That alone is what I can do you a lot of. ”
