The mutation was prominent, but it was immediately controlled in a short period of time, and the target of the arrest was very clear, and the courtiers present reacted immediately if they were smarter.

A person who looks like a person can't see that this drama-like sudden ups and downs of the plot is obviously planned by someone, who else can the planner be, naturally he is now holding a jade axe and overlooking His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor in the world.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Liu Fang, Duke of Shuguo, Liang Shiyan, and Yu Wenxin, Duke of Qiguo, were pressed in front of him and knelt on the ground.

Yang Jian looked down at them from above, and said, "I treat the three of you well, the three of you actually tried in vain to kill me, a chaotic minister and a thief. ”

The three of them also reacted at this time, their plan should have been known to Yang Jian a long time ago, Yang Jian's play was to catch the thief and catch the dirty, and he and the others fell into the trap.

Yang Jian said with some heartache: "The three of you have all been crowned the princes of the country, and you have received Yulu from the imperial court, how could you have such wolf ambitions......

Liu Fang shouted: "Yang Jianling, don't be pretending, you are just usurping the foundation of the Yuwen family, a villain like you can actually be the emperor, I was blind to lead you to power." ”

Liang Shiyan immediately begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it was Liu Fang and Yu Wenxin who coaxed me, this matter has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me." ”

Looking at the spineless Liang Shiyan, Liu Fang glared angrily: "Liang Shiyan, you spineless thing, you can get up together, and you will kneel on the ground and beg for mercy when you die, what kind of man are you." ”

"Your Majesty, you heard it, these people deceived me, Weichen is loyal to you, you must know it."

Yu Wenxin interrupted the two indifferently: "Don't you two fight, don't you see?" He looks at you like a monkey, and we're all his playthings. ”

The two looked up, the tall and majestic figure, the emperor with the corners of his mouth slightly raised under the dragon crown, watched their quarrel as if watching a monkey show, the more fierce they quarreled, the more powerful the bite, and the more Yang Jian's smile grew.

Yu Wenxin said coldly: "Yang Jian, when did you discover our plan. ”

syllable

A slap landed on Yu Wenxin's face, five thick and red finger prints appeared, and Laihu'er said rudely: "Your Majesty's name is also your name?" ”

Yang Jian looked at Lai Hu'er with some appreciation, this rough man actually knew to take this opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor.

Yuwenxin was not afraid, he still didn't speak, and Laihu'er slapped him again, and the other side of his face was also a finger print: "I want to see if your mouth is hard or my hands are hard." ”

"Wait."

Laihu'er was about to continue to do it, but the emperor stopped him.

"Whether the three of them admit it or not, the ins and outs of the matter, the cause and effect are already clear, and today I will sue the temple with the heads of these three people."

"You don't think that I will arrest you and send you to prison for interrogation, don't worry, you won't survive today, all your henchmen, traitors, have been closely watched by me since the beginning of your plot, it is estimated that almost all of them should be caught at this time, even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, it won't be long before they jump."

The courtiers on the side were a little frightened when they heard this, such a plot to kill the emperor had already been known to the emperor in every detail, and the intelligence network that the emperor now had exceeded everyone's imagination, which made them more afraid of Yang Jian in their hearts.

Fear is the best respect, respect can be disguised, but fear comes from the heart.

Yang Jian held a jade axe in one hand, and turned around to face the Zongmiao with the other hand, and said loudly: "I, the Northern Expedition to the Turks, to solve the century-old disaster of the Central Plains, to conquer the Turks and divide the East and the West, all surrender to the Great Sui, inherit the will of the two emperors of the Han Dynasty, expand the territory of the Central Plains, and descend to the people of the Northern Yi. ”

Yang Jian paid homage to the temple, the ministers bowed their heads, and the ministers who didn't know what happened outside the imperial palace also knelt down to worship the mountain under the command of the eunuchs, and for a time there was a sound of mountains and tsunamis in the entire imperial city.

"Today, there are internal thieves, vainly trying to disrupt the country, the national thieves are shameful, one does not think about the emperor's grace, the second is not loyal to the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, and the third is a rebel who has no father and no king, today the traitor will correct the law and tell the ancestors of heaven and earth."

As Yang Jian's voice fell, several soldiers holding big knives slashed down on the heads of the three without hesitation.

The expressions of the three people who were waiting to be punished were different, Liu Fang cursed angrily, Liang Shiyan was still crying and begging for mercy, and Yu Wenxin was indifferent.

"Old thief Yang Jian, you shameless thief, thief of the country, I will not let you go if I turn into a ghost."

"Your Majesty, please spare your life if you know that you are wrong, spare your life......"

"Becoming a king or losing a king, and dying, it's not a pity."

The broadsword fell, blood splattered out, and the blood sprayed red the ground behind the emperor, and three headless corpses fell to the ground, and their round heads rolled on the ground for a while, rolling beside the people who were watching the ceremony.

Everyone avoided it, and they didn't dare to make too big a move.

Looking at those widening eyes, the fear in my heart was even greater.

The emperor's voice came again: "The thief has been ambushed, the court is clear, although I am the son of heaven, I often feel worried, the Central Plains has been falling apart for hundreds of years, and now I inherit the mandate of heaven." ”

"Unify the Central Plains!"

All the courtiers knelt again, facing the direction of the emperor: "Long live my emperor!" ”

When the ceremony ended, many courtiers were covered with sweat, and they didn't know whether they were hot or scared.

When the emperor announced that he could leave the palace, many people quickened their pace, and the low-ranking officials who were waiting outside the main hall now knew that they complained that such a huge change had taken place inside when they had been standing outside for too long.

No one dared to talk about it in the palace, and the people left the palace in panic.

In the emperor's study, there were only the emperor and empress, the king of Jin and the king of Shu who had just returned.

Yang Jian, who had always been serious like a god and Buddha, finally smiled with satisfaction at this time, and put his hand on the edge of the stove to warm up: "The wind is really cold today." ”

Yang Guang said bluntly: "Father, the sons and daughters just saw the ministers go out of the palace in a panic, killing people in front of the temple, and ask my father to appease the ministers." ”

Yang Jian rubbed his hands: "Amor, this is the way to control the subordinate, you are the murder in Emperor Wei Wu's dream?" ”

Yang Guang nodded.

"Do you think anyone can really kill someone in their dreams?"

"Erchen doesn't think so."

"Yes, but Emperor Wei Wu killed a person, so that people spread that he opened his eyes and killed people in his dreams, and since then, no one dares to make up his mind when he is sleeping, and the murderer is famous, but he sleeps more and more peacefully."

Yang Jian was in a very good mood, laughing while talking, walked to the table and continued: "Everyone will slander Emperor Wei Wu as fierce and treacherous, but no one dares to harm him, I killed the rebel thief in front of the temple in public today, there must be many courtiers meeting to discuss that I am too fierce in doing things, but the discussion is to discuss, the more I talk about it, the more afraid I become, people who have the heart of a chaotic minister and a thief may not change anything, but those ordinary courtiers will not dare to be vassals after this once." ”

"Erchen understood."

At this time, Queen Dugu answered and said: "Amo, you have made a great contribution this time, tell Your Majesty what reward you want." ”

The first thing Yang Guang saw when he heard the words was Yang Xiu beside him, and at this time he understood why the emperor called Yang Xiu together inexplicably, Yang Xiu was not involved in anything before this matter.

But what Yang Xiu means here is that the request that should not be made is not mentioned, an obvious advice.

Yang Guangxin comprehended, saluted to the two saints and said: "Father, mother, and sons do not ask for rewards. ”

But the queen refused: "If you do the right thing, you must be rewarded." ”

Yang Jian also nodded: "Amour said it, I will not allow it." ”

Yang Guang immediately said with a straight face: "The sons have nothing else to ask for, but ask my father to entitle me as the general of the southern expedition, and the sons will be responsible for many matters of the southern expedition to the south." ”

It didn't sound like a reward, and this request also made it difficult for Yang Jian to refuse, although in his heart he hoped to hand over this final and most important step to pacifying the world to the crown prince.

But there is never a certain thing about the outcome of the war, Yang Guang unconsciously went to Xiliang and Nan Chen to have many contacts, completed the layout in the early stage, and now put forward this request reasonably, which is regarded as a request for his own great merit, Yang Jian, as the emperor and as a father, seems to have no reason to refuse.

At this time, Yang Xiu's voice also sounded: "Father, mother, I also want to go, and I have to count me to fight Nan Chen, and I will also contribute." ”

Yang Jian laughed: "Why do you want to go to war, fighting is not a fun thing." ”

"The second brother has fought the Turks, and the eldest brother is now fighting Goguryeo, and I, as the younger brother, only let me take my brother as an example and also have to go to other places to open up territory for my Great Sui."

"Good! None of the men of the Yang family are afraid of war, Amour, I can let you be the general of the expedition to the south, but in this case, the original position of the great Sima will have to be given to you first, can you think about it? ”

This is also a reasonable thing, the great Sima plus the general of the south, the actual military power plus the virtual title of the supreme commander, can't His Royal Highness the prince jump up?

Compared with the fictitious title of Da Sima, Yang Guang obviously wants actual military power.

"Yes, father, son-in-law must pacify Nanchen for his father as soon as possible and unify the Central Plains."

"Good! Today, I personally issued an edict to entitle the King of Jin as the general of the Great Sui Expedition to the South, and to control the total of 380,000 soldiers and horses on the southern line of the Great Sui, so as to unify the Central Plains in the future. ”

"Thank you for your kindness."

Yang Xiu immediately asked, "What about me, father?" ”

"You have to guard Shudi, how can you leave for a long time?"

"My father has always been stable, and his sons and ministers also want to contribute."

At this time, the queen also persuaded: "King Shu, you just came back, and go back to have a good rest, today's New Year's Festival is very lively in Daxing City, let your second brother take you for a good walk." ”

The queen said so, and the king of Shu could only give up.

The emperor said, "Tomorrow I will tell the world about this, so let's go back today and have a good New Year's Day." ”

Yang Guang and Yang Xiu left the palace together, and Yang Xiu looked lonely: "Hey, no matter how much you want to contribute, you won't let it go." ”

Yang Guang looked at Yang Xiu who sighed with some amusement, Xiu'er obviously played it for herself, you must know that our younger brother has bad intentions.

"Xiu'er, how long has it been since you returned to Daxing City?"

"After going out, this is the first time I've come back."

"Go and shout Yang Jun, the second brother will pay for the consumption of the whole audience today, and take the two of you to have a good time."

Yang Xiu went to Yang Jun's house and called Yang Jun over, and Yang Guang went home to see Xiao Menglan first.

As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Menglan asked in a panic: "Your Highness, I heard that Your Majesty cut off the heads of the three princes in front of the Sect Temple. ”

"News spreads so fast?"

"The concubine just came back from the prince's mansion, and along the way, I heard a lot of people talking about it, saying everything, how could such a big event not be reported."

"Don't panic, it's all expected."

"Your Highness, you already know?"

"It's what I did, in order to avoid extraneous complications, and it's a vague matter, so I didn't tell you."

Xiao Menglan didn't blame but said: "Your Highness, you have always done things safely, and the concubines are just worried about you." ”

"It's okay, Prince's Mansion, what's the situation now?"

Speaking of the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Menglan's face became gloomy, and she asked Yang Guang rhetorically: "Does Your Highness know why the concubines went to the Prince's Mansion?" ”

"Isn't it a New Year's Day?"

Xiao Menglan shook her head: "Your Highness entered the palace early this morning, and I received the news that the crown princess came back from the prince's mansion last night, and she encountered a ghost and hurriedly rushed over. ”

Yang Guang noticed something unusual, so he asked, "Who is the ghost?" ”

"Your Highness really saw at a glance that someone was behind the ghost."

Xiao Menglan continued: "The person was caught, it was the maid beside the crown princess, I had already ordered someone to interrogate, I had followed the princess since I was a child, and now that she is old, she originally had a marriage, but the princess did not let her go out of the palace to get married, and she was resentful, and Yun Zhaoxun provoked behind her back to intimidate the princess and let the doll in her belly fall off, alas." ”

"If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, it seems that even the maids around the princess herself are not safe, this time fortunately, the guards are all our people, and the palace maids are not very bold, just let the princess be a little frightened, today the palace maids around the princess will also be replaced by our own people, it is safer."

Xiao Menglan nodded: "The concubine has been arranged, but how to punish this palace maid, whether this matter is reported to her father and queen mother, it has to be decided by His Royal Highness." ”

Yang Guang had a headache: "It's better for us to interfere less in the affairs of the prince's mansion, taking care of the princess is the order of the queen mother, there is no need to have more branches, lest the prince still think that we are stirring up right and wrong, my eldest brother is the most indistinguishable from evil, this palace maid will deal with it directly, our task is to ensure that the princess is safe before giving birth, and other people who are not in our responsibility." ”

"The concubine understands, is Your Highness still going out?"

"Well, take the third and fourth children to the racecourse together, I haven't seen the two younger brothers for a long time."

"Then Your Highness can let the third brother and sister-in-law and the fourth brother and daughter-in-law come to the house to get together, and have a meal together on the night of the New Year's Day, and call the fifth brother to the house."

"Okay."

Yang Guang ordered his subordinates to do it, and he rode on his horse and set off.

After Xiao Menglan saw him leave, she thought about it for a long time, and said to Yuan Tiantian: "Every day, you take my sign into the palace and tell the queen what happened in the prince's mansion." ”

"Princess, Your Royal Highness ......"

"His Royal Highness is reluctant to meddle in the affairs of the woman's boudoir, but we can't help but do it, the queen mother let me take care of the affairs of the prince's mansion, and I still have to tell the queen mother about everything, as for the palace maid, I will keep it first, and wait until the princess gives birth and her body is stable, and then tell the princess what happened, and let the princess decide how to deal with it herself."
