Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 258 What is a Loyal Servant?

As soon as Yang Su returned to the mansion, he called his younger brother Yang Yue.

When Yang Yue learned that his elder brother had resigned, he also sighed for a while. Their Yang family can go to today, all rely on their elder brother Yang Su. If there is no elder brother, uncles Yang Wensi, Yang Wenji and patriarch Yang Yi, including him Yang Yue, Yang Yue What are these people?
It is precisely because the Yang family is too powerful that the elder brother Yang Su has reached the time when he has to retreat in order to protect the family.

Yang Yue knows the overall situation, so he fully understands his brother's choice.

"How is brother's health?" Yang Yue asked concerned.

Yang Su lay on the couch, quite tired and said: "If you don't die this year, you will die."

"Is it so serious?" Yang Yue turned pale with shock.

Yang Su said lightly:
"If I don't die, the final outcome of the Yang family will probably be full of murder. Yang Guang will not let me live for too long. I am a veteran of the old court. My prestige is too high and my authority is too heavy, which is not conducive to the emperor's ruling. If there is no accident, Gao Jiong is about to come down. We are Ersheng's confidantes, but not the current emperor's. He also knows very well that if he wants to completely control the court, he must clear me and Gao Jiong. Su Wei is tactful, so he should be fine for the time being, and He Ruobi is also a little nervous."

Yang Yue gritted his teeth and said: "It's really a wolf-hearted thing. He used to fight for the reserve, all thanks to his elder brother's efforts. Now he has only been on the throne for one year, and he is going to kill the donkey."

"If you think this way, you won't have any good endings in the future," Yang Su said in an emphatic tone, "Everyone who has been a ruler since ancient times has always been a fickle and ungrateful person. The current emperor is like this, so why isn't the Supreme Being like this? If I If we hadn't fought Gao Jiong for half our lives, we would have died a long time ago, and we couldn't have waited for today."

Yang Yue was stunned: "So, elder brother has always deliberately opposed Gao Jiong?"

Yang Su nodded: "In the past 20 years, I, Yang Su, have been sincerely respected by Gugong alone. This person is the real pillar of the Sui Dynasty. In the early years, I deliberately fought against him, because I knew that the Supreme Being Asking me to do the right hand shot is to check and balance Gao Jiong, if I don't fight against him, the supreme will punish me, and as time goes by, I will regard Gao Jiong as the only opponent, and regard him as the real enemy."

Yang Yue asked curiously: "Brother is reminding me that I will find an opponent in the court in the future? Because if there is no opponent, the emperor will be your opponent?"

"You're still far behind," Yang Su couldn't help laughing, "Apart from a sharp tongue, what do you have? The title on your body still depends on me. You want to find an opponent? Su Wei Niu Hong, have you ever fought? Make a good knife in the emperor's hand, don't let others dislike you and throw you away."

Yang Yue let out a long breath and remained silent for a long time.

In fact, as his brother said, he is not qualified, and if he is the leader in this life, he will never be greater than Neishling, because he has no military achievements.

As for elder brother's resignation this time, the Yang family is also doomed to go downhill. Among Xuangan's generation, no one can be alone.

Even if there is, Yang Guang will not support it anymore. This is in line with the law. When a family has reached its peak, the next thing to face is decline.

Although he couldn't accept it in his heart, Yang Yue had to face the reality.

"The emperor already knows about the prince. My eyeliners in the East Palace have all been pulled out. According to my brother, how long can the prince last?" Yang Yue asked.

Yang Su pondered and said:
"I can't tell, but we also need to prepare in advance. Yang Ming is our hope. As long as he is here, our family will have a chance in the future. This child Yin Jiang really did not disappoint me. It's incomparable, if something happens to the crown prince, remember to deal with Yang Hao first, as long as he gets rid of him, no one can compete with Yang Ming."

"It's too easy to deal with Yang Hao," Yang Yue said, "There are a few capable people around this kid, but it's a pity that they don't know how to use them."

Yang Su glared at Naidi, dissatisfied:
"Don't underestimate anyone. To deal with Yang Hao, you have to take care of three people. One is the emperor, the other is the empress, and Wei Chong. The Wei family now has the signboard of the emperor and grandson. Don't worry about everything, and talk to Yang. Discuss with Ming, he is more calm than you."

Yang Yue asked curiously: "It seems inconvenient for me to have too much contact with Yang Ming in the future, right? Once the prince's incident happened, the emperor has definitely set his sights on his other two sons. At this time, they are too close to Yang Ming, and I am afraid it will be disadvantageous to me." .”

"It's wrong, only if you have ghosts in your heart will you stay away," Yang Su said:

"We and Yang Ming are relatives by marriage, and it's reasonable to get close. The more this is the time, the more you can't mess up. What you are like in normal times and what you will be like in the future, you have to take care of Yang Ming's side, too. You are good at flattering, I believe you can do well."

Yang Yue nodded, got up and helped his elder brother lie down, and then covered him with the quilt.

Accustomed to seeing life and death, Yang Yue didn't have much emotional fluctuations in his heart. He only felt grateful for his elder brother who saved the family with his own body.

If it were him, he would do the same. The continuation of the family from generation to generation is more important than life to them.

Su Wei, Gao Jiong, and Li Zixiong, these three people are currently Yang Guang's heart disease. The list of 11 people,
Eight of them had the crown prince as their guarantor. If there was any problem, Yang Guang could only take it as no problem for his son's sake.

The prince is still in the treatment stage, and Yang Guang hopes that his son can treat the illness with peace of mind and don't think about anything.

The three sons are all his own, born of the same mother, but Yang Guang loves Yang Zhao alone.

The reason is simple, the eldest was raised by himself,
Moreover, the birth of the eldest son made him very honorable in front of his father, the emperor Yang Jian, and even got the favor of his mother Dugu Jialuo.

Because the eldest is the eldest grandson,

And Yang Yong has no heir, he has one, and the reason why he competes for the position of crown prince, the eldest brother Yang Zhao is also one of the key factors.

When the second child Yang Wei was born, Yang Guang didn't care much about it anymore.
So Yang Hao was brought up by a wet nurse. As for the third child, let alone, he left his side early.

Zhu Sanli of Prince Qin's Mansion used to be Yang Guang's guard, and the reason why he left it to his son was also because of his loyalty and reliability.

Zhu Sanli was brought in front of Yang Guang and knelt down to salute:
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Yang Guang said indifferently: "The man named Qiao Lingze in Prince Qi's mansion, did you lead someone to ambush him?"

Zhu Sanli nodded and said: "His Majesty Huizuo, I will be ordered by the King of Qin in a humble position, and no one will be left alive."

Ma Laoliu, who was standing by the side, was taken aback when he heard the words, and said with a dumb smile:
"That's not what you said when I asked you last time, did you hurt me?"

Zhu Sanli said sternly: "Brother asks, I can't betray the master, your Majesty asks, I can't deceive the master, I ask brother to forgive me for the difficulties."

Ma Lao Liu smiled indifferently.

"What is a loyal servant? That's what it is called!" Yang Guang looked back at Ma Laoliu, and said with a smile:
"You are a capable person, otherwise I would not have put you next to my son. I asked you twice, and you did the right thing. I can't find any faults. I will ask you this time, why is King Qin To make you kill?
Zhu Sanli said:

"Your Majesty, I didn't know the specific reason at the beginning, but I guessed a general idea afterwards, but I dare not speak falsely about whether it is the truth."

"It's okay, let's talk!" Yang Guang flicked his sleeves, rested his elbows on his knees, and waited for the next sentence.

Zhu Sanli said:

"When the King of Qin served as the governor of Jingzhou, there was a man named Yan Baoshou who served as an official of the King of Qin for a short time. It was only after the fact that he was the eldest son of the Duke of Changping (Yan Rong), and the king of Qi was in Hongnong County. The kidnapped woman is Yan Baoshou's daughter, presumably because her father was an official of King Qin, she sent someone to Luoyang for help."

At this time, Yang Guang looked at Gao Ye, the servant beside him, questioningly.

Gao Ye said: "This son has indeed been an official of the King of Qin. There is also a record in the Ministry of Officials. Now he has been transferred back to the capital. He seems to be working in the Wannian County Government. His wife is the daughter of King Guan."

In fact, Yang Guang knew it in his heart, but he was just pretending.

"Go on," Yang Guang said.

Zhu Sanli said: "Your Highness, in the beginning, he was actually not willing to come forward, but King Qi has gone too far in borrowing food. There are countless officials who come to King Qin to complain every day. Maybe he was angry, so King Qin Let me lead people to attack and save people, not only to give Qi Wang a warning, but also to get favors from Guan Wangfu, because I am afraid that the news will leak, so I asked the humble official not to leave anyone alive."

Yang Guang nodded, and stopped asking this topic, but diverted the way:
"Have you changed the guards next to the third child?"

Zhu Sanli shook his head: "One has not been changed, but the commander of the guards. Chen Jin, who once led the horse for His Majesty, his nephew is now the commander of the guards of the King of Qin. As for Sima, he is Pang Ben who is next to the Holy Queen. There are almost no changes in the song, except for the addition of some natal family members of the princess."

"Chen Jin's nephew?" Yang Guang leaned back, feeling less wary of Yang Ming, and said with a smile, "I remember that kid, he seems to be good at shooting."

"Your Majesty's strong sense is him," Zhu Sanli said.

Yang Guang asked again: "You are the guard of King Qin. He met King Qi for the first time in Luoyang. Are you there?"

Zhu Sanli replied: "Xiaozhi was waiting outside the courtyard. When he saw King Qin, his clothes were torn in many places. It must have been a physical conflict with King Qi, because no one dared to touch His Highness King Qin except King Qi."

"Conflict? Why did they conflict?" Yang Guang asked with a solemn expression.

Zhu Sanli said: "The specific reason is that the humble position is kept outside, so I can't hear it very clearly, it seems to be because of the matter of being crowned king."

Yang Guang squinted his eyes, and asked again: "I heard that King Qin has already made arrangements in advance for borrowing food. King Qi only needs to follow the instructions, and the food supply will not be a problem. Is that so?"

"Yes, Shi Yuanwendu, the head of the palace, and Li Baiyao, who offered sacrifices to wine, have long been sent down to take charge of borrowing food," Zhu Sanli said: "At that time, I heard Yuegong and Yuwen Shangshu talk about it. To save trouble, just open an IOU in the name of the government, and it shouldn’t be like that at that time, the food was not delivered late, so that the construction period was delayed.”

After hearing this, Yang Guang's face was gloomy, and after a long silence, he waved his hand.

Seeing this, Zhu Sanli hurriedly withdrew.

Yang Guang summoned Zhu Sanli because he actually wanted to know the specific situation at that time. He wanted to know who started the conflict between the second child and the third child.

At present, it seems that the problem is mostly the second child. The third child is carrying an errand created by Tokyo on his back, so he will definitely not mess around.

This bastard, dare to use his brain on my national policy?
