Chapter 48: Let the Assassination Happen

Yang Guang's sentence let the assassination happen, Queen Dugu didn't understand, she knew that the other party was going to assassinate herself, and she also knew the time and place, at this time, the danger should be avoided as much as possible, how could she still let the assassination happen?

Yang Jian instantly understood what Yang Guang wanted to do, so he said, "Tell me what you think." ”

"Since we got the news before the incident, we should have taken precautions, but Erchen felt that it would be better to use this opportunity to inform the world that more of their henchmen were implicated."

"For example, they plan to rebel in Puzhou, what are their people in Puzhou, and whether there are still party henchmen in other places, now that they have been arrested and reviewed, they may be able to interrogate some, but there may also be mistakes and omissions, since they must be caught in a net, we can pretend not to know about this matter, since they want to arrange it, there will definitely be frequent contacts later, and we let Ying Yangwei follow without worrying about not finding the horse's feet."

Yang Guang continued: "Follow their plan, let my father act as a stand-in that day, let the assassination happen, and arrest them earnestly, so as to warn all those who have different intentions." ”

Yang Jian nodded and said: "I will issue an edict to invite them to participate in the New Year's Festival celebration, and ensure that they will not leave Daxing City before the New Year's Festival. ”

"Father, Emperor Shengming."

"You go and urge Li Yuan and Ying Yangwei to arrest all the people involved in this matter, now that the external troubles have been decided, the internal worries of this group of ill-intentioned guys have to kill and kill well."

"It's my father."

As soon as Yang Guang left, Queen Dugu sighed: "I'm afraid this year's New Year will be a bloody storm." ”

Yang Jian praised Yang Guang and said: "Amour does things properly and acts strategically, and when things are determined, he becomes decisive and decisive, brave, strategic, benevolent and ruthless." ”

Queen Dugu laughed: "Your Majesty Amand has done such a good job, you can reward him well." ”

"A reward is a reward, of course, but he doesn't seem to lack anything."

Queen Dugu picked up the conversation: "Your Majesty, it's better to be like this, when the matter is over, Your Majesty, you can ask him what he wants, and then reward him." ”

"Yes, too."

Yang Guang, who returned home, began to investigate in full swing, so that Ying Yangwei quietly stared at the three of them, and as the New Year got closer and closer, in order to discuss specific matters, the three finally had to meet.

I didn't bother when I met, just stared at the periphery.

Yu Wenxin took out the royal decree and said to the other two: "It's very abnormal, His Majesty invited me to participate in this New Year's Festival. ”

"Me too."

The other two also received invitations, but Liu Fang said: "Don't worry too much, it seems that in order to show off the merits of defeating the Turks, the emperor issued an invitation to all those who have titles. ”

Liang Shiyan asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

"As usual, the emperor is going to the temple to worship, where the place is not big enough, the hundred officials are crowded, it is difficult for the soldiers to act at the first time, our dead soldiers take action, just to kill the emperor, causing chaos, the three of us find the closest place to the door, once the matter happens, run out of the door, and go out of the city with a thousand miles of good horses, faster than the news that the emperor was assassinated."

Yu Wenxin's face was solemn: "The emperor is assassinated, and the whole city will be blocked at that time, whether we can escape or not is one thing, this invitation has no legitimate reason and we can't go, otherwise the emperor will definitely be displeased, and he may be directly punished at that time, and we won't even have a chance to act." ”

"The arrow has to be sent, I have been planning for a long time, after Yang Jian became the emperor, he revoked all the rights and responsibilities in our hands, so that we were like returning to our hometown, with the name of the prince of the country, and I am afraid that the real power of several small officials is greater than me, I can't live such a life."

Liu Fang said what was in his heart angrily, and the other two also felt the same way, the sense of disparity between gaining power and losing power was very uncomfortable.

Liang Shiyan patted the table and said to Yu Wenxin: "Is there a certain emperor?" Someone supports him, it is the emperor, after the assassination is completed, you rebel in Puzhou, I will definitely fight in Xiangzhou, the two formations are opposite, and then connected, the world can be obtained, and then you will be the new emperor, and the two of us will assist you. ”

Yu Wenxin sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, it can only be like this, the two of you can rest assured that I am only shallow in learning, if I really become the emperor, I will share the world with the two." ”

"Brother Yuwen is worthy of the throne by a talented person."

"This matter is confidential, remember that the two of you must not leak it, and the manpower arranged by Puzhou must also pass on the news first, and the matter will be settled."

"Brother Yuwen rest assured, I think the two of them can push Yang Jian to the throne, and they can also push Brother Yuwen up, a week of careful planning, it will definitely be possible, and then we can even watch from the sidelines for a while, as soon as Yang Jian dies, the two brothers of King Jin and the prince will not fight for blood? Then is the good time for us to take the world. ”

Speaking of King Jin and the crown prince, Yu Wenxin frowned slightly.

"What's wrong with Brother Yuwen?"

"Some time ago, King Jin came to me."

The other two were nervous.

"What? What is it? ”

"It's not a big deal, he came to me through Yu Wenkai, and he followed Li Jing's little hairy child, and asked me what I thought about the future of the Turks, and after I told him about my ideas and actual operation projects, this little doll obviously listened to it, and went to the emperor to talk about it, but unfortunately the emperor seemed to be very jealous of me, and did not adopt his opinion, so he finally wrote me a letter to apologize, and said that I would definitely be invited out of the mountain when there was a time in the future."

Hearing Yuwenxin say this, the two were relieved, Liang Shiyan said: "This King of Jin is a teenager after all, what great ability can he have, he is like a god outside, I just don't believe it, can he still fight Brother Yuwen, isn't this a fooled group?" ”

Yu Wenxin sighed: "This His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a good seedling who knows people and is good at his duties, it's a pity, it's a pity, he is too young, and even if he is excellent, after all, he is only the second son, after all, there is the prince in the etiquette and law, and if the prince does not make a big mistake and does not die early, he has no chance, unless he rebels." ”

"Yes, so our assassination of Yang Jian is also an opportunity for him, he will definitely rebel against the prince in various names, since Brother Yuwen has a good connection with him, we can use his strength at that time."

After the three of them talked freely, they were all satisfied, and Yu Wenxin said: "The three of us can't have a secret meeting for too long, and we will act according to the plan without special circumstances, and we won't meet first." ”

"Okay."

Yu Wenxin left, Liu Fang grabbed Liang Shiyan and said, "Brother Shiyan, is your lady free today?" ”

"Brother Liu, do you want to talk about it?"

The two talked as if they were exchanging pleasantries.

"Just forget about it, now in a sensitive period, let your lady go to the restaurant to talk about it, Brother Liang won't be together this time, it's not too late for us to be together after the matter is over."

"Reasonable."

After the three of them left, they went to do different things, their every move was monitored by the spies of Eagle Yangwei, and the people they sent out to contact the field were also followed, and Shun Teng began to investigate who was contacting and conspiring with them, and registered them one by one.

……

In the next few days, the news snowflakes generally flew to the Jin Palace, and Yang Guang and Li Yuan classified the news they received, and arranged the people who had anything to do with this matter from light to heavy.

Looking at the list on the table, Yang Guang sighed: "These three people have been planning for a long time, and the people involved are no less than thirty people from local officials, military generals to one side assassins, most of them are their original old departments, and there should be nothing left out today, even if such a large number of people are arrested and interrogated at that time." ”

"In this turbulent era, the most turbulent thing is the hearts of the people."

"Your Highness, what do we do now?"

"Early tomorrow morning, let the Eagle Yang Wei spies from all over the country control the people on this clear list one by one, and when His Majesty's carriage goes to the temple to worship, the whole city will be under martial law, and no entry or exit will be allowed, so that people will keep an eye on the three people, and as soon as the matter happens, they will be arrested directly."

This night is destined to be a sleepless night, countless spies left Daxing City tonight, the closer places can arrive before tomorrow morning, and the far places have been arranged before the beginning, no matter what, the rooster will act early tomorrow morning at dawn.

In this era, the news from the outside did not spread back to Daxing City so quickly, and they had enough time to act.

The sky was about to break, Yang Guang dressed up and took Xiao Menglan into the palace together, he had to accompany the emperor all the way today.

As soon as he arrived in the palace, the ministers had not yet arrived at this time, Yang Guang looked at Yang Jian's stand-in, and couldn't help but sigh that it was really like it, he could see the difference at close range, but other courtiers couldn't get in close contact with the emperor like himself, and he couldn't see it.

The fake Yang Jian showed a flattering smile to Yang Guang, looking at the flattering smile of someone so similar to the emperor, Yang Guang was quite uncomfortable.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, what should I do today?"

"First of all, put up the shelf, who would believe that you are the Emperor of the Great Sui in the way you look now."

As soon as the words fell, the fake Yang Jian immediately put up the shelf, it was obvious that every move in the palace had been trained, at least the momentum of the pretending was still there.

Yang Guang continued: "You just do it as you train in the palace." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Jin."

Yang Guang walked to the side again and said to Qin Qiong and Laihu'er, who were changing the equipment of the palace guards: "In case of any situation, remember to protect this fake emperor as well." ”

"After all, it is very difficult to find a stand-in with this similarity again, and it is also very difficult to cultivate to resemble it, so if you can protect it, you can protect it."

"My subordinates understood."

Soon the sun is rising, the palace door is opened, the hundred officials respectfully enter, waiting in front of the empty hall, although the weather is cold today, but the blue sky is an auspicious day.

Bang bang bang

With the sound of firecrackers, the door of the main hall slowly opened, and the emperor walked out surrounded by palace people, and the voice of the eunuch sounded: "Whew." ”

"Long live my emperor~"

With the sound of the mountain roaring and the tsunami, the stand-in is fortunately professionally trained, otherwise this face will not be able to hold up.

In order to make the stand-in speak less, the eunuch continued to shout: "Civil and military officials, those who do not have a title stay here for a while, and those who have a title will go to the temple with His Majesty in turn to pay tribute to their ancestors, and sacrifice to the Great Sui to calm the troubles in the north." ”

All the officials knew that they had been waiting for at least more than an hour, and it was also abrasive to stand in a wide official uniform, but no one dared to have an opinion.

Those with titles follow in the order in which they are arranged.

In the temple, the ancestors were sacrificed, and the ceremony was very cumbersome, Yang Guang's eyes fell on the three people from time to time, and no one paid attention to this matter when there were many people.

As the ceremony progressed, the weather slowly became hotter and the atmosphere became more restless, and a familiar figure suddenly walked beside Yang Guang.

"Second brother."

Following the sound, it turned out to be Yang Xiu, the king of Shu.

"Xiu'er, why are you in Daxing City."

"I just rushed back last night, and I didn't have time to inform my second brother, thinking that I would definitely see it today."

"Oh, what a coincidence."

"Yes, it's just time for the New Year's Day, and I haven't had time to personally congratulate the royal brother on his victory on the northern front."

Yang Guang smiled slightly and said, "That's the credit of Uncle Wei Wang, I just mixed up some military merits." ”

"The second brother and the younger brother don't have to be modest here, Zhang Xutuo told me everything over there, the strategy is the second brother's good strategy, the musket is the second brother's musket, and the credit must be at least half of the second brother."

The two had just chatted for a few words, and a sudden change occurred.

The two courtiers of the Ministry of Rites, who had just stepped forward to give Yang Jian a gift with a ritual weapon, suddenly burst out, holding the ritual weapon and stabbing directly at the fake Yang Jian at close range.

Yang Guang didn't expect that the assassination method they planned was actually like this, and he was still wondering what kind of way they would carry out today's things.

The simpler the way, the higher the success rate, these two officials of the Ministry of Rites are their cronies and dead soldiers who have been cultivated from the bottom, and the whole family is in their hands.

Assassinating the emperor in public, everyone was stunned at once, and then there was endless panic.

Taking advantage of the panic, Liu Fang and the three wanted to run out with everyone, and the positions of the three of them were on the side closest to the door.

But as soon as the incident came out, the door was closed, and Li Feng closed the door with the people of Ying Yangwei, and directly detained Liu Fang: "Shu Guogong, what are you doing running so fast." ”

Seeing that the other party was coming at him with a clear goal, Liu Fang's heart sank to the bottom for a while, but he shouted: "Help, help, someone assassinated the emperor, and someone rebelled." ”

"Silence."

The chaotic atmosphere did not last for a few minutes, the emperor's voice came, and another "emperor" came out of the temple, holding a jade axe, majestic and solemn, and Queen Dugu was on her side, motherly and worldly.

Everyone was stunned, what was going on?

The emperor walked to the side of the dead fake Yang Jian, and looking at the tragic death of the stand-in, the emperor said with a little regret: "It really took a lot of effort to cultivate such a stand-in." ”

Then he looked sharply at the arrested Duke Shu, Duke Yu, and Duke Qi.

"Yu Wenxin, Liang Shiyan, Liu Fang, you are so bold, you dare to rebel!!"

"Today, I will use the heads of the three of you to sacrifice to the sky!"
