The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 67 Jedi
Xijing Chang'an, Daxing Palace!

"Mother, I don't want to learn, I don't want to learn! I don't want to be a contemporary king, I don't want to be left behind in Xijing, it's not fun at all!"

A child as beautiful as a porcelain doll, crying with tears streaming down his cheeks, tore the exquisite royal robes on his body. He didn't have much strength at such a young age, but he tore his neat appearance into a mess.

The maids were at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"What's the matter?" A gentle and luxurious voice came from outside the hall, and a beautiful woman in palace attire walked into the room with a little tiredness.

She is tall and slender, with picturesque eyebrows, and she exudes a light and familiar charm, just like a lily, with youthful rain and morning dew, bright and beautiful!That dignified woman's bun made her look more dignified and elegant.There was only a pair of eyes filled with a trace of sadness!

The palace maid looked at the person and hurriedly saluted, "Go back to your empress, His Highness has been arguing since he came back early, and I can't persuade you no matter what."

The beauty nodded, expressing her understanding, and signaled all the maids to retreat.

She is Wei Rong, the concubine of Yuande Prince Yang Zhaozheng, the one who was born in "Wedu in the south of the city, go to Tianchiwu".

In the Sui Dynasty, Webster had a close relationship with the royal family. Apart from her marriage to Prince Yang Zhao of Yuande, there was also a cousin who married Qi Wang Yang Hao back then.Judging from the situation at the time, no matter whether it was Yang Zhao or Yang Hao who came to the throne, Webster was as stable as Mount Tai. Therefore, Webster, who took advantage of the power of the royal family, had an unprecedented improvement in political and social status.

However, such a family, which was strongly supported by the imperial family of the Sui Dynasty, became very popular, but at the moment when the rivers and rivers of the Sui Dynasty were in decline, they stood by and watched with cold eyes...

At this time, the cute child like a porcelain doll plunged into Concubine Wei's arms: "Concubine Mother, please let me go, I don't want to be a king anymore, and I don't want to be left behind, just like a log every day."

This child is the acting king Yang You.

Yang You is the legitimate son of Yang Zhao, handsome, cute and cute, he is the number one heir of the Sui Dynasty!He is twelve years old this year, and he is very smart, but no matter how smart he is, he is only a playful and active child. However, the identity constraints of staying behind in Chang'an made him lose his freedom and fun early on.

He gets up early every day to participate in the morning court, and every day he listens to adults talking about things he doesn't understand. He doesn't understand anything, and he has no idea what the meaning of his court is.

Who wants to be such a stay-at-home?

Yang You had already gotten into trouble several times.

Concubine Wei hugged her son tightly, her eyes were red with tears, and the next moment, big tears dripped onto Yang You's face!
Today, Concubine Wei had a bad time at her mother's house again, and she didn't even see the head of the house, Wei Yuanzhao.

The indifference of her natal family made her feel chilling! !
Although she is not very clear about the current situation in the Sui Dynasty, her natal family's almost closed door actions have already told her: the Sui Dynasty is hopeless...

This also means that their mother and son were abandoned by their natal family!
Whenever she thinks of the past events of "holding the emperor to make the princes", she will wake up from the nightmare.Her only wish is for her son Yang You to live in peace.But, who can she trust at this time?Who can be trusted?
"Mother concubine! Mother concubine! Don't cry, the child just learns!" Seeing his mother crying silently, the filial Yang You very obediently chose to wrong himself.

"Good boy!" Concubine Wei was very pleased, but she couldn't stop her tears... At the same time, she complained deeply to Yang Guang, an irresponsible emperor. Figured it out.However, compared with the second eldest Yang Tong, Yang You is much luckier, because his second elder brother Yang Tong led a lone army to fight at the age of [-] or [-] when Luoyang was in danger!

But that child was so amazing, he actually created a world-shattering feat in Jizhou!Concubine Wei is very wise and smart. She really had the heart to fight for the grandson for her son before, but the current situation let her know: the world is no longer decided by the Yang family, and the grandson has no meaning at all. If Chang'an, Luoyang, Zhuo If the county is lost, the three brothers Yang You, Yang Tan, and Yang Tong will be Han Xiandi in Cao Cao's hands!

After being used by others, he died inexplicably.

Therefore, the most realistic problem is to survive safely!
Taisun and the third emperor of Sui Dynasty are all fake.

She thought about taking her son and running away more than once, but she also knew that Chang'an was the safest place before the Great Sui collapsed completely.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness! Lord Wei, please see me!"

Just as Concubine Wei's mother and son were crying, the voice of the maid came from outside the house.

Concubine Wei took a deep breath and said, "Master Wei, please come to the side hall to serve tea!"

She quickly wiped away her tears, helped her son tidy up again, gave a few words of advice, and went out together.

In the main hall, a majestic old man with white hair was walking back and forth anxiously.

He is Yang Tong's grandfather-in-law, Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan is 77 years old this year. His ancestral home is Luoyang. His grandfather Wei Yue was the Si Nong Ai of the Western Wei Dynasty.
When Wei Xuan was young, he was knowledgeable. When Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, was the vassal king, he recommended Wei Xuan as the secretary.After Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he appointed Wei Xuan as the governor of Yizhou, and gave him a treasured belt of ten thousand nails.Soon, he was promoted to Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Taifu Zhongdoctor, agent of internal history, and concurrently served as Jing Zhaoyin. At that time, it was said that he was powerful and penetrated the world.

After the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Wei Xuan successively served as the governor of Huaizhou, Wei Wei Shaoqing, governor of Zizhou, minister of the Ministry of punishment, and general of Youhou Wei.When Yang Guangdong conquered Goguryeo, most of the soldiers from all walks of life failed, but Wei Xuan's army was the only one able to preserve it, and its military talent was quite remarkable.

When Yang Xuangan rebelled, Wei Xuan personally led an army of [-] to assist Luoyang. Because Yang Xuangan had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Wei Xuan was outnumbered, and most of his subordinates were killed or injured.

Yang Xuangan led all the elite soldiers to attack, Wei Xuan led the army to fight Yang Xuangan more than ten times in one day, and all his nephews and grandsons died heroically.

Yang Guang had a lot of trust in Wei Xuan. He not only made his granddaughter Wei Fengwu the princess of Qin, but also ordered him to assist the acting king Yang You to stay in Xijing, concurrently serving as the internal history of Jingzhao and minister of the Ministry of punishment. The tribunal made a decision and ordered Yang You to treat Wei Xuan with the etiquette he would treat a teacher.

Wei Xuan was old and asked to resign many times. Yang Guang sent Feng Deyi, an internal historian, to the capital to persuade him, and gave the jade unicorn talisman to replace the bronze beast talisman.

"Meet Duke Wei!"

"Disciple meets teacher!"

Concubine Wei, Yang You, mother and son performed the junior ceremony to Wei Xuan.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty! Please sit down!"

Wei Xuan's tone was very rude, but the mother and son didn't take it seriously!
This old man is strict with himself and treats others leniently. After knowing each other for many years, this is the first time for the mother and son to see Wei Xuan so dignified.

Concubine Wei's heart was pounding!
"Your Highness, Your Majesty... King Qin wrote to say that the Dugu family, the Dou family and other Guanlong dignitaries supported Li Yuan's rebellion. Once the whole of Hedong is captured, they will cooperate with the Guanlong dignitaries and take down Guanzhong! It is possible to control His Highness, and then let Li Yuan force His Highness to ascend the throne, to fight against the banner of the emperor, and to plot the world!"

Wei Xuan said angrily, the whole person seemed to be a little unsteady.

The words rang out in the minds of the mother and son, and their faces turned pale.

There was deep fear in Concubine Wei's eyes, she was really afraid of something!
She pinched herself fiercely, and her mind was cleared by the intense love, "Wei Gong, what should I do?"

The Qing emperor's reason for raising troops was very legitimate, and even full of sense of responsibility. When Li Yuan appeared as the savior of the Sui Dynasty, many ministers would consciously move closer to him, and some generals even surrendered voluntarily.Moreover, they are confident that they surrendered for the common people of the world, not for the glory and wealth.When Li Yuan successfully captured the hearts of the people, he forced Yang You to abdicate, and then let him die in a daze!
"Wei Gong, please tell this junior, what did Dong'er say?" Concubine Wei said calmly.

"My lady, please read!" Wei Xuan presented two letters, one was written to Wei Xuan, it had been torn, and the letter to Yang You hadn't been opened yet!

Concubine Wei tremblingly held Yang You's letter. The content was similar to what Wei Xuan said, and she made several arrangements and suggestions regarding the impact of Li Yuan's rebellion:
[-]. Li Yuan became a running dog of the Turks!The primary task of the main force of Jizhou is to annihilate Liu Wuzhou, recapture the Great Wall, and prevent the Turks from going south.Therefore, if Li Yuan turned against him, even if Yang Tong would attack Hedong, he would not have too many troops!It would be best if Li Yuan can be wiped out in Hedong. If nothing can be done, please Wei Concubine and Yang You withdraw from Chang'an and take refuge in Jizhou!
This is also where Wei Xuan was furious. It's fine for you, Li Yuan, to rebel, but for your own selfishness, you don't hesitate to attract a foreign race to poison your own race. How vicious is your heart?Yang Tong attacked Liu Wuzhou and took back the Great Wall for the sake of national righteousness, and Wei Xuan very much agreed and appreciated it.

[-]. With the support of the Kanto gentry, the boss Yang Tan has become obsessed with the position of emperor grandson!Moreover, Wang Shichong, the ambassador of Henan Province, has different ambitions, so he has accumulated a lot of power in secret, so don't believe it.

[-]. Send the dead to burn down the granaries such as Taicang, Changping, and Yongfeng!The food in Guanzhong was barely sufficient, and three granaries were burned. Li Yuan had no way to raise troops on a large scale, and it would be much easier to regain Guanzhong in the future.

[-]. If Guanzhong has the ability to send an army to help in the battle, please invite Wei Fei, Yang You, mother and son, the Sui army to settle in Hedong County. First, it will boost the morale of the army, and second, it will be convenient to leave nearby!At the same time, he said that if Li Yuan turned against him, Pei Renji, the prefect of Ji County, would immediately enter Hanoi County, and they could enter Hanoi from Hedong County!

Concubine Wei read the letter quickly, and then read the letter to Wei Xuan. The content was similar, and she asked, "Mr. Wei, what should we do?"

Wei Xuan said in a deep voice: "Li Yuan was originally the nephew of the Dugu family, but now he has asked his second son Li Shimin to marry the daughter of the Dugu family as his bride. Inseparable birds of a feather, they have great influence in Guanzhong, and they work together, and there are many people who respond. Therefore, the old minister thought that Qin Wang's suggestion of "do nothing, leave quickly" is very necessary! However, this still requires the empress and His Majesty makes his own decision."

Yang Tong said that Yang Tan was obsessed with power, so why not Yang Tong himself?

Concubine Wei also understood that Wei Xuan was trying to avoid suspicion, but she still said: "Wei Gong, although this junior is ignorant, he also knows that the future ruler of the world is no longer decided by the father and the emperor, and the crown prince is meaningless. We are orphans and widows As soon as a soldier dies, he has no extravagant hopes for the position of supremacy, and only wants to live in peace! If Tan'er and Dong'er can revive the rivers and mountains, it will be my great fortune in the Sui Dynasty! Dong'er is talking about the real crisis that our mother and child are facing. Not only is she more capable than Tan'er, but also more affectionate!"

Wei Xuan sighed and said: "Xiao Wu said in a letter from home that when King Yan took over as the Eastern Capital and stayed behind, he forced King Qin to be loyal to him... Basically, they combined their strengths to put pressure on Dai Wang."

Concubine Wei said nervously, "Then what did Donger say?"

Wei Xuandao: "It is said that King Qin turned his back on him and said that King Dai regarded him as his elder brother, while King Yan treated him as a loyal dog, which made King Yan lose his mind! As for the authenticity, I don't know... After all, Xiao Wu It's already your Yang family."

Concubine Wei said: "This junior trusts these two children! Please make up your mind."

Wei Xuan pondered: "From the point of view of national justice, the veteran agrees with King Qin's decision to attack Liu Wuzhou first! He also agrees with what he said about Guanlong's dignitaries working together inside and outside."

"There is still some time. There are a few things that should be done. One is to recruit military training from the people."

"Second, it is about the handling of food. This 1.1 rice is hard-won! It should be cherished! There are so many hungry people waiting to be fed, and it is against the law of heaven to burn them on fire."

Yang You said: "Then what should we do? It can't fall into the hands of thieves, right?"

Wei Xuandao: "The meaning of the old minister is to open a warehouse in the name of your majesty to release food to relieve the victims. It can somewhat restore a little reputation for the royal family, and it will also help to recruit troops, and also accumulate some confidence for the recovery of Guanzhong in the future."

"Mr. Wei is right."

Concubine Wei said angrily: "Those rebels all claim to be benevolent and righteous, but my royal family has become rebellious officials and thieves. There is no food here, so let's see what they use as benevolence and righteousness! In order to prevent someone from profiting from it, this matter is old Lao Weigong and Yin Shishi went to do it, and at the same time sent the Xiaoguo army to frighten Xiaoxiao, and severely punish those who corrupt and commit crimes."

"At the same time, call Qu Tutong, Yao Junsu, Song Laosheng, and Sang Xian, and reward the army with money from the palace. Only when the army's morale is not disturbed and the army is loyal, can we leave safely." At this moment, it is hopeless to seek help from her natal family Concubine Wei showed the political wisdom of the princess, and she was decisive!
"Your Majesty is wise!" Wei Xuan praised, and continued: "Also... Order Qu Tu in Chang'an to build an army of three thousand Xiaoguo, and he will be in charge of monitoring and arresting those people Dong'er mentioned... arrest immediately if there is any change. "

"Good, good, good!" Yang You was overjoyed.

The next day!

The news that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty opened and closed Zhongyi warehouse to provide disaster relief and help refugees spread from Chang'an to the surrounding counties.When the officials staying in Xijing got the news, they had already spread all over the city. For some purpose, some people formed a team and entered the palace to stop them, asking Yang You to show the imperial decree.
But Yang You had already communicated with the deputy guards Wei Xuan and Yin Shishi. Not only did they ignore these people with impure intentions, but also under the operation of the experienced Wei Xuan and Yin Shishi, these officials who prevented the distribution of food were also known as Guanzhong, but They are all notorious, and they dare not even go out, for fear of being bitten to death by hungry people!

This sudden change left some people stunned and unable to react. Under the general trend, officials from all over the world could only follow the trend.

Whoever opposes at this time will suffer!

This is called public opinion cannot be violated!
In just a few days, the warehouses in Guanzhong were completely empty!
At the same time, the news that the Guanlong dignitaries headed by the Dugu family and the Dou family refused to release the grain, swallowed the official grain privately, and the slaves took a large number of grains, robbed the grain and stole the grain spread like wildfire. There was an uproar and anger in Guanzhong.

Guanlong dignitaries hurriedly put out the fire!Release food to wash black!But people are more convinced that this is a cover-up.
