Emperor Sui Yang

On the 420th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wuhou Wei searched and arrested all over the city, arresting a total of [-] people who spread rumors, beheading them in the downtown area, and blood flowed in Tianjie.

Officials who dare to discuss this matter in private should directly contact the Yi people.

The curfew in Luoyang, Tokyo was changed to Haishi, that is, at nine o'clock in the evening, the doors of all workshops have to be closed, and anyone who goes out at night will be arrested directly.

Yang Guang quickly suppressed the public opinion with thunderous means, but he knew in his heart that he could control your mouths but not your hearts. The scandal has already spread.

In Daye Hall, Crown Princess Wei Ying knelt in front of Yang Guang and his wife, crying bitterly, begging Yan Cha to return her innocence.

It's not clear anymore.

What Yang Hao had done before was all real. Although Yang Guang didn't find any real evidence this time, he tended to believe the rumors in his heart.

Because the second child and Wei Ying have really gotten too close recently.

After the investigation at the East Palace, a personal maid of Wei Ying was found, who would often go out of the palace and go to the Prince Qi's Mansion in Luoyang to meet with Yang Wei in private.

That maid was also a loyal servant, and was beaten to death without uttering a single word to the outside world.

The more this happened, the more suspicious Yang Guang and his wife became. If your relationship is seen, what can't you say?
What made Empress Xiao furious the most was that people from Dali Temple found out that on the way back from Jiangdu to Luoyang, Yang Hao once boarded the floating scenery boat of Crown Princess Wei Ying several times on the way back to Luoyang. What were they doing?
Of course they were discussing how to join forces to deal with Yang Ming, but nothing happened between them.

But now that the rumors that spread to the whole Luoyang almost confirmed the two of them.

Yang Guang didn't know how to hit women, so Empress Xiao stood up. She left her seat and asked the maids to stand up and slap Wei Ying down.

In the hearts of Yang Guang and his wife, the eldest son, Yang Zhao, is the closest child. The eldest daughter-in-law breaks the shoes, which is not chastity, and it is absolutely intolerable for them, even if there is no real evidence to prove it.

After Queen Xiao's hand hurt from beating, she ordered the maid to continue beating until Wei Ying vomited blood from the beating and passed out.

"Lock her up for me, keep her under strict guard, and no one is allowed to visit," said Empress Xiao, who was almost dying of anger.

Two maids dragged the unconscious Wei Ying down, and Gao Ye immediately ordered the servant to wash the blood off the ground.

Yang Guang turned around and returned to the bedroom behind him.

In the sleeping hall, Yang Hao was kneeling there, and every scream from Wei Ying in the front hall would make him tremble all over.

"Father, my son and sister-in-law are innocent. They must be the third child. He must be spreading rumors against me." After seeing Yang Guang come in, Yang Hao kowtowed non-stop.

Yang Guang sighed, sat down beside him, looked down at his son,
"What is the truth, I will find out, but you still don't seem to know where you are wrong?"

Yang Hao cried and said: "The boy contacted the sister-in-law just to talk about a marriage with the son who came to take care of the son. There is no other request, let alone the slightest act of arrogance. I hope my father will learn from me."

Yang Guang's expression was dull, and he said lightly: "She is your eldest sister-in-law. If you want to have a good relationship with her, you need to get through your mother first. The common people know that uncles and sisters-in-law are not in the same room. How dare you talk to her in private?" Meet? Is this not arrogance?"

"Father," Yang Wei raised his head and said, "Even if I have an affair with my sister-in-law, how can this matter spread to the streets and alleys, and the whole city knows about it. With the sageness of Father, can't you see that someone is deliberately framing the child?" ?"

Yang Guang gritted his teeth and said, "I said, I will find out the matter, but what I'm talking about now is about the private meeting between you and her. How long did your eldest brother leave? How dare you?"

"Father," Yang Hao knew that today's test would be really difficult, so he also went all out:
"As the youngest brother, the third child secretly fights for the crown prince and forms a party for personal gain. The child doesn't want to let go, so he thinks about building a good relationship with his sister-in-law to check and balance the third child. That's why I met my sister-in-law in private, because there are some things that can only be said in person. clear."

Yang Guang said coldly: "You have finally told the truth. Did you intentionally restrain him in building Luoyang?"

"Yes!" Anyway, I confessed that Yang Hao was the one who went all out this time: "Father, the queen mother is partial to the third son, and the son can't see it. He has today's prestige in the court, which is caused by the father. Why don't you think about me? My eldest brother passed away, so you should consider me first in terms of seniority?"

Yang Guang sneered suddenly, seeing Yang Hao go numb for a while.

I saw Yang Guang said with a cold expression:
"Go outside and ask, how many people in this world say hello to you? Give you a general manager of Yangzhou, who doesn't know how to govern the country, accumulate merits, and wants to find a woman all day long. Let you be a shepherd in Yuzhou. How dare you create things in Tokyo? You dare to abduct the third child's woman, cheat on your wife and sister to kill your wife and Wei Chong, what else is there that you, King Qi, dare not do?"

Yang Guang leaned back, put his hands on the armrests of the chair, and said:
"I haven't established a reserve for so long, just to give you a chance to build the Guangtong Canal. I gave you a chance. What happened? The officials complained, and the people complained. This time, I want to give you a chance to let you be the director This north-south canal, do you see how many people are against you at the court meeting? You want to form a party, but I will turn a blind eye, but you have to make some useful people. How many ministers will speak for you? How many people speak for the third child? You tell me, how should I choose?"

Yang Hao said with resentment: "Father, the emperor must give time to the courtiers? The third child can win the courtiers because of his aunt and Yang Su. Who is the courtier? Wei Chong, a half-baked man, has no words in Shangshu Province. portion."

"So, you're blaming me and your aunt for not finding you a good wife? What's the difference between you and King Fangling (who was named after Yang Yong's death)?" Yang Guang sneered.

Yang Hao lowered his head and said, "My son is just telling the truth, Pei Ju's daughter should have been mine, and it was my third son who snatched it from me."

"The Pei family was decided by your grandfather and grandmother, you can't blame the third child," Yang Guang said.

Yang Hao went on to say: "The third child relied on the favor of his grandfather and grandmother, and was stronger than his son very early on. Father, you can't be too partial. From the beginning to the end, the son was at a disadvantage. Although he tried his best, he still couldn't." Get rid of the decline, look at the women he married, and then look at his son? What should I fight with him? It's not that I am inferior to him, but that the father, the queen, and the queen favor each other."

Yang Guang laughed angrily at him, and he leaned back and forth while laughing,
"Okay, since you said that, I will give you one last chance. Yuzhou Mu, you continue to work on the canal. It must be completed within six months. If you can do it, I will find you a job." good woman."

Yang Hao's spirit was greatly lifted: "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely do it."

"But before that, you have to go back to the capital with me," Yang Guang said lightly.

Yang Guang would not allow this scandal to continue to escalate. The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, who were in charge of the investigation, also visited secretly and secretly.

And he couldn't deal with Yang Hao and Wei Ying, otherwise he would be acknowledging the truth of the scandal.

That's why the queen beat Wei Ying violently, but Yang Hao didn't even get a slap in the face, because Yang Hao wanted to attend the court meeting and meet people.

In the court meeting in the next few days, no one dared to mention this matter. In fact, no one mentioned it at the beginning. The reason why Yang Guang knew it was because of the rumors of Yushitai.

But he didn't expect that it would be absolutely impossible for the matter to spread so widely and so quickly without anyone behind it.

So who will target the second child?It must be the Qin Royal Party.

Yang Guang easily thought of Princess Qin Yang Yinjiang, and it seemed that his daughter-in-law was very resentful.

Yang Yue was good at spreading rumors, and Yang Guang knew about it, because when he was still the king of Jin, Yang Yue began to promote him among the people.

But there are some things, even if Yang Guang is clear in his heart, he has to pretend to be confused.

It doesn't matter, the days are still long, let's settle accounts after autumn.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is approaching, and Yang Guang accepted Qin Wang Yang Ming's suggestion to correct the fifteenth day of the first lunar month as the Shangyuan Festival, the fifteenth day of the seventh month as the Zhongyuan Festival, and the fifteenth day of the October month as the Xiayuan Festival.

The scale of this year's Shangyuan Lantern Festival is the same as last year, and the officials have invested heavily. Although Yang Ming is in the capital, he can still pay for it, because Luoyang also has his Qin Palace.

Yang Guang planned to return to the capital after the Shangyuan Festival.

On the night of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Yang Guang and his sister Yang Lihua sat on the tallest observation tower in the imperial city, overlooking the lights of Luoyang.

"Sister thinks that the second child and the third child will not attack brothers. I know you love Yang Ming, so don't speak favoritism," Yang Guang smiled and looked at his sister beside him.

Yang Lihuahua said: "If you tell me the truth, then your two sons are not easy-going lamps. What you seem to be most worried about is that after the two of them go up, they won't attack Zhao'er's child."

Yang Guang smiled wryly and shook his head: "The emperor's family affairs are the most difficult to decide. I don't want to see them fratricide."

Yang Lihua's expression darkened immediately when she heard the words "broken flesh and blood". Three of the five younger brothers died, and both of them died in the hands of Yang Guang.

The youngest Yang Liang's death was claimed to be due to illness, but Yang Lihua knew who did it, but she would never be able to pierce the window paper.

Why is it so creepy when you say the words fratricide?

Yang Lihua said indifferently: "I don't want to ask about your family affairs anymore. Since I left the capital, Yang Ming has written me 22 letters, all of which are asking if I am healthy. The last one, he hoped that I would not follow me." You toured outside the Great Wall in the north, fearing that I would not be able to withstand the wind and cold and damage my health. After much deliberation, I really couldn't run around like this anymore. I am getting older and my body really can't bear it. You said I was partial to Yang Ming, why should I be biased? It's because he really cares about my aunt, not trying to use me."

Yang Guang nodded, he had already heard from the elder sister's words, who the elder sister preferred.

"My third son respects and loves you, I know that," Yang Guang said.

Then, Yang Lihua asked the maid to fetch a stack of letter paper and handed it to Yang Guang:

"Here are 22 letters, you can read them yourself."

Yang Guang nodded, picked up a letter casually, and opened it to read. Every line in the letter was concerned about Yang Lihua's body, and there were even some advices, such as not eating cold food, and not boarding the bow at night.
They are all things that the servants will arrange in advance.

But from Yang Ming's mouth, it was somewhat touching.

After a long time, Yang Guang raised his head and said with a smile: "He is closer to you than to me. His letters to me are all about serving the state."

"I've made up my mind. When I return to Beijing this time, I won't go out again," Yang Lihua said lightly, "How much you cherish yourself."

Yang Guang nodded: "Let's follow my sister."

When Qin Xuan woke up, she found that she had traveled to Da Qin and was picked up by Ying Zheng, but when she saw the scales and sharp claws on her body, she couldn't accept it for a while. What kind of thing have I become?
Ying Zheng ordered many painters to be called to paint for him.

In the painting, there is a small beast with horns like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like a cow. It is a mythical dragon!

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng made his own portrait public and decided to use it as a totem, which instantly shocked the entire Qin Dynasty!

Unexpectedly, I turned into a Chinese totem, a dragon, and now I have traveled to Daqin, sweeping Liuhe together with the king of Qin!
Ying Zheng: I ruled the six kingdoms, the divine dragon descended into the world, the might of the heavens was powerful, and I suppressed my Chinese dragon veins, defended my great Qin, and protected my society and crops, so as to protect the foundation of all ages.

Qin Xuan soared into the sky, his body transformed into a thousand feet, and he looked down on Kyushu!

This dragon is the totem of China, flying clouds and driving fog, controlling thunder and lightning, spitting water and fire, and splitting into thousands of things, isn't it too much?
