Emperor Sui Yang

If the prince cannot enter the palace, Yang Guang cannot move.

If you can't touch the prince, don't expect to touch the prince's people.

In order to calm Yang Ming's heart, Yang Guangda arbitrarily appointed officials in the East Palace, and everyone who went out received benefits.

Li Jing was appointed as the General of the Right Guards and was granted the title of Duke of Longxi County. Su Lie was granted the title of Duke of Ji County. Zhu Can, who shot Zhang Zhenzhou, was granted the title of Marquis of Huarong County. Xu Shiji, who burned Gao Shida's grain and grass, paid homage to Zhu Guo. Yang Yuanqing, Shan Xiongxin, etc. They were all canonized, and as many as 24 people were knighted.

But few were given actual jobs. Yang Guang wanted to give it, but he didn't dare to give it now.

There was a great chaos in the world, and vacancies in various places were very serious. These people could be arranged locally. If there had not been that rumor, Yang Guang would have arranged them.

But I don't dare to do it now. At this juncture, if you let these people out, it is equivalent to dismantling the forces around the prince. If one person is not good, the prince will immediately rebel.

Now no one dares to say anything wrong to the prince, for fear of irritating him.

Because the prince has the ability to rebel, all the armies in Luoyang, except for the left and right guards and the left and right Yiwei, are accustomed to the prince giving orders. If the East Palace forges the troop deployment order, there is no need for Hufu to mobilize the army privately. In theory, it is possible. Passed.

Tiger Talisman, only people who have never seen it before will not fake it. Someone like Yang Ming, who has played with it many times, knows the hidden characteristics of each Tiger Talisman.

For example, Zuo Wuwei's tiger talisman has a pointed right ear, a total of fourteen concave spots on the body, etc., each with its own characteristics.

But these are all nonsense, because Yang Ming does not have a fake tiger charm in his hand, and he does not dare to cast it privately. Once it is leaked, it will be fatal.

Yang Ming has been thinking these days about how to choose the time to force the palace. That is naturally the time when his father is least prepared, so when is Yang Guang least prepared?
It's hard to say.

In order to force Yang Guang to abdicate in Ziwei Palace, several problems must be solved, including the left and right Preparation Palace, the left and right Prison Gate Palace, and the Zongtuan Hussar Palace.

Now the clan's hussars are on his side.

The two generals at the left and right prison gates were Dou Kang, Duke of Chen, and Duguji, Duke of Teng, the eldest son of Dugu Laosi, Dugu Zang. This person was arranged by Yang Ming.

The relationship between Dou Kang and Yang Ming is pretty good, but they can't be expected to stand by him on matters like forcing him to have a baby.

As for Duguji, he is still reliable. The Dugu family is not favored by Yang Guang, so he has taken refuge with Yang Ming early. This time he also went into the house to visit Yang Ming face to face. He hinted to Yang Ming both inside and outside that Dugu Zuan had already fought with him. Say hello.

In this case, Yang Ming could only go through the palace gate controlled by the Right Prison Gate Mansion.

As for the left and right guards, they are Yang Guang's imperial guards. The two generals Zhang Jin and Jing Yuanheng are both Yang Guang's people. The two military mansions have a total of 7 people. They are on duty every month and are permanently stationed in the palace. The amount inside is basically half, which is thirty-six thousand.

The rest are not outside the city, but outside the palace. Outside the imperial city, there are more than a dozen guard posts, and the remaining thirty-six thousand are stationed there.

This is the elite guarding the emperor, with strict military discipline. From top to bottom, they are instilled with the idea of ​​dying for the emperor every day. Logically speaking, outsiders cannot get involved.

But Yang Zhiji is not an outsider. The predecessor of Zuo Beishen Mansion was Zuo Yu Linwei, and there were many people from Yang Zhiji in it. Many of these people were from the clan. Li Yuan and Zhang Jin who later took over could not be replaced.

If Yang Zhiji said, "Brothers, come with me and force Mr. Hun to abdicate, Zuo Beishenfu can chop him alive." But if he said, "Brothers, come with me, and someone wants to harm Your Majesty and goes with King Qin," then these people can cross the border. Pass Zhang Jin and follow Yang Zhiji.

Even if Zhang Jin claims to break the law, no one will believe him, because his surname is Zhang and Yang Zhiji's surname is Yang.

Therefore, once the clan abandons the emperor, the emperor will be in danger.

Most of Yang Ming's current left and right guards in the East Palace have entered the palace. Only 2000 people remain in the palace. Including his soldiers from Hedong, there are only more than 6000 people.

These people are his main force for forcing the palace.

When doing this kind of thing, the first thing to make sure is who is reliable and who is unreliable.

People who are usually reliable may not be reliable when doing this kind of thing.

Therefore, we have to screen out the more than 4000 Hedong disciples, who are in charge of Xiao Shilian, Song Laosheng, Du Ruhui, and Pang Ben. Who among them must be unreliable? Remember their names. Keep silent now, but you can't take them with you when you are in trouble.

The left and right guards of the East Palace lead 2000 people. Yang Yuanqing, Yang Xuanting, Fang Xuanling, and Qiao Chun have been screened. Even if there are only a few hundred people left, they cannot lead unreliable people.

As for Yang Ming's plan to force the palace, so far, no one around him knows.

We can't let them know about this kind of thing. We can only force them to the point where they have to follow their own path into darkness.

Reporting the prince's rebellion is a great achievement, and there is no guarantee that someone will make the choice.

"What are Jiande's future plans? Or wishes, please tell me," Yang Ming said as he felt much better and was eating with Dou Jiande in the room.Dou Jiande said: "In this humble position, I only hope that the world will be peaceful and the prince will be well."

You're trying to fix it with me, right?Yang Ming smiled and said: "Now you also have the title of Zhuguo. You started as a county magistrate when you were appointed. I will take care of you. It is not impossible for you to serve in the imperial city in the future. Who would not want to do this in life?" Once you become successful, you will be given the title of wife and son."

Dou Jiande shook his head: "If the prince cannot be ruthless, he will not live long in his humble position."

Yang Ming suddenly frowned: "What do you mean by this?"

Dou Jiande put down his chopsticks and said sternly: "Jiande naturally hopes to make his wife a wife, but the premise is that you, the prince, should treat you well. I am yours, and you are the person I admire the most. But at the current situation, the prince suddenly It’s unfavorable, if we can’t use Qiankun’s means to reverse the overall situation, the prince will be in danger, and Jiande will also be in danger.”

"Scaremongering, are you trying to scare me?" Yang Ming laughed.

Dou Jiande smiled and said: "I know that the prince's heart is like a mirror, but he just can't tell me. Since we returned to Luoyang, the atmosphere has been wrong. There are few smiles on everyone's faces. This is not what a victorious army should have." He is jealous of others, and suffers misfortunes for his virtuous people. He has not read many books in his humble position, but he also knows that he cannot tolerate others without relatives, and those without relatives will be eliminated. Heroes gather around the prince, and everyone expects him to return. It is the time to take charge of the world."

"Bastard!" Yang Ming slapped the table angrily: "Someone, pull this arrogant idiot out with twenty sticks."

Dou Jiande was picked up by Chen Kui and Zhu Sanli, and was dragged out and tortured.

What did he mean by this?Those who cannot tolerate others have no relatives, and those who have no relatives will eliminate all people. It means that no one will get close to someone who cannot tolerate others. If there is no close person, he will be abandoned by people. There are so many awesome people around Yang Ming, which means that you are You two should be able to tolerate others. Compared with the emperor who doesn't like people's advice, you two should change.

Dou Jiande is a top-notch smart person, and he also speaks very implicitly. It is enough that the meaning is conveyed, there is no need to make it clear.

If he dared to say in front of Yang Ming, "Your father can't do it, you should take his place," Yang Ming would kill him immediately.

Because this person cannot speak, he will be a hidden danger in the future.

But now, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Yang Ming is fighting because Dou Jiande deserves to be beaten. What level are you, dare to suggest such a thing to me?I hit you to stop you from speculating on my thoughts, because what Dou Jiande said was not a test.

And Dou Jiande was also willing to take this beating, because these words were equivalent to a surrender and flattery. He also knew in his heart that although the prince beat him, he was happy in his heart because Dou Jiande was loyal.

Is Yang Ming really happy?Do you think Dou Jiande is loyal?You, a country man from the countryside, are thinking in front of me?You don’t even look at who I’ve been dealing with all my life.

After a brief conversation, Dou Jiande found out that he would never take a job in the imperial city. He had insufficient vision and limited skills, and was just a little clever.

Really smart people like Yang Yue keep their mouth shut and work hard.

Next, Yang Ming asked Pei Shuying to change the dishes on the table, and invited Xu Xuanche in.

He is looking for someone, someone who is willing to charge into battle and help him control Yang Guang.

This person cannot be found from aristocratic families, as aristocratic families do not want to bear this reputation. The person who controlled Li Yuan in history was Yuchi Jingde, so who should help him control Yang Guang in this life?

"You are from Baling. You serve as a brigade commander in the army. You were recruited for the northern expedition and fought with the Turks. You first attached to Xiao Mian and then surrendered to me." Yang Ming said with a smile: "This is from south to north, and then from north to north." Nan, come and go, he is still a member of the imperial court, but now he has been awarded the title of General Hu Ben, and he is considered to be outstanding."

Xu Xuanche said with a grateful face: "Without Your Highness, this humble position would have been a ghost in hell."

Yang Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can't say that. In this life, you have to rely on yourself for three parts, and destiny for seven parts. You have to be able to grasp the fate that comes to you. For example, Guan Chong, a duplicitous man like him, the court They will not be reused in the future, but you are different. You worked hard as a trainer in Jinling and provided support for Lai Hu'er. If nothing else, Lai Hu'er will speak for you in the future."

"They are all cultivated by His Highness. When I was surrendered in front of His Highness, I only had one thought in my heart: to die for Your Highness," Xu Xuanche said.

Yang Ming nodded and stopped talking.

He felt that Xu Xuanche was not the person he needed. There was no reason, it was just a feeling.

Noticing a look of disappointment on the prince's face, Xu Xuanche hurriedly said: "If the prince has anything to do, please entrust me with this humble duty. I will not disappoint the prince."

They are not stupid. They come to you for dinner for no reason, just to chat?Who am I to be a scallion, eating with the prince?

Yang Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, I have no instructions for you, I just think you are reliable and honest. After returning from Jiangdu, we haven't sat together and talked, so I called you, come and have a drink." "

There are too many smart people around Yang Ming, but those who do this kind of thing cannot be smart people.

What is needed is the kind of person who is straight-minded and straightforward, but who is such a person around me?

Sometimes idiots can be of great use.
