Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 739

Xu Shiji led people in the suburbs north of the imperial city to explore where weapons were buried. They came in the dark.

Because during the day, I found someone secretly watching here, so I didn't dare to disturb them. At night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, a dozen people, dressed in black night clothes and wearing high soft-soled boots, silently entered the forest.

This forest is still very big.

Because they were afraid of making any noise, they dug very slowly. After gently digging out several sets of refined armors and various weapons, they buried them back silently.

After exiting the forest, Xu Shiji asked the Xuanwu Gate guard who first discovered this place and said:
"How big is this forest?"

The guard said: "It's about ten hectares. The soil on the back of the mountain is hard and not suitable for burying things. It should be the area in front of us where weapons are buried."

This section of the valley used to be the marching road leading to Yanshi, because at that time there was a small stream that could be drank directly in the valley, which was available all year round. However, when Luoyang was built, the water source should have been dug out, so it dried up and there was no water. The place will naturally not become a main road.

Because water was very precious in ancient times, there were temporary resting places on main official roads and small roads, just like service areas in later generations.

This resting place must meet one condition, and that is the ability to draw water from a well. Without water, what is the point of resting?
This kind of ancient service area is basically in the hands of rich and powerful people. There is no one above. How can it be your turn to make such easy money?
Xu Shiji and his men roughly figured out an amount based on the size of the forest and the terrain inside.

The weapons buried in the forest should be enough to arm a team of 500 people, and they are elite, because they are all highly refined weapons.

The Sui Dynasty had very strict control over weapons. After the army came back from the expedition, if there was no defense mission, all armor and weapons must be turned over and stored in the Weifu warehouse.

Even Yang Ming's men, because they are the crown prince's guards, have reserved their swords and armor for you, and any guards other than the imperial guards are not allowed to wear armor into the imperial city.

Because it is difficult to kill when wearing armor.

Every time Yang Ming entered the Xuanwu Gate, there were only 28 people around him, and a piece of thin armor was hidden inside, which was illegal.

Fortunately, Yang He knew that these were extraordinary times and there were only a few people around the prince, so he was accommodating. After all, he didn't know that the emperor wanted to touch the prince.

It is normal for Yang Jian to have a large number of refined weapons, because his troops can already equip them. In addition, this guy is leading the army in Jiangnan, so he can steal some of the weapons privately by reporting losses, just like Yang Jun privately It's like hiding a five-toothed ship.

So if you want to check the origin of this batch of weapons, you won't be able to find out.

Song Laosheng took 500 people and hid in a valley. The location he was in happened to be the only way south from where Yang Jie had hidden his troops. The purpose was to stop this group of people.

During this period of time, Yang Zhiji would always find excuses to stay overnight in the Imperial City Yamen, intermittently, sometimes there, sometimes not, just to give people the impression that he did not suddenly spend the night in the Imperial City, in case something happened in the palace. , people were suspicious of him.

In his opinion, the final decisive battle is a matter between father and son. He will help, but it will be the kind of help that seems to be aloof.

If the prince loses, wouldn't he be finished?Therefore, Yang Zhiji will also leave a way out for himself.

This is how smart people do things, so that others don't know that they are doing it, just like a rich person doesn't want others to know that he is rich.

He has a dormitory in the Imperial City, which is the headquarters of the clan's hussars.

"Your Majesty sent someone from King Qi to deliver a message to Yu Wenhuaji. This is strange," his son Yang Daoxuan whispered in the bedroom where his father slept.

Yang Zhiji sat on the bed, pressed the soles of his feet, and after pondering for a while, he said:
"It's very complicated. It seems that His Majesty wants to blame the Prince of Qi for attacking the Prince. That shouldn't be the case. Unless he wants to kill the Prince, there is no need to use the Prince of Qi as a scapegoat."

If the prince was just under house arrest, then the crime must be on Yang Ming. For example, the prince was disrespectful to the emperor, so Yang Guang acted cruelly.

If he wanted to kill the prince, Yang Guang couldn't bear this reputation, so he had to find a scapegoat. Yang Jian was the best choice. After all, the others had no grudges against the prince.

Only Yang Jian had this motive.

There are many emperors who have killed princes in history, but even the emperor would not dare to kill a prince with such great prestige and power.

Yang Daoxuan shook his head and said: "My son thinks this is unlikely. The prince has extremely high authority in the central government and has many confidants. If he is killed, the court situation will inevitably be in turmoil. No one can control such a scene. Your Majesty should not do this." .”

Yang Zhiji narrowed his eyes: "As long as the blame falls on others, the situation will still be controllable. The prince's supporters will vent their anger on the scapegoat, and then your majesty can calmly control the situation. If this is the case, it means that your majesty wants to The possibility of dealing with two sons in one breath should not exist."

Yang Dao

Imperial power is not allowed to be interfered with by anyone, even one's own son.

Yang Guang just felt that his son was a huge threat to him, so the best way was to support someone who was not a threat.

Yang Rui, who is still young and has no reputation or merit, is undoubtedly the most suitable.

Then Yang Guang can sit on the throne peacefully until his death, and then hand over the position to Yang Rui.

Killing his son is okay, as long as his bloodline is not broken.Yang Guang is 49 years old this year, but Yang Ming is already 30 years old. When he dies, Yang Ming will also be old. So in Yang Guang's opinion, is his son willing to wait so long?

It's impossible. The prince's power is too great. The only thing that can tempt him is the throne.

History is proof that all princes hope to ascend the throne in their prime years.

Yang Zhiji and his son just speculated like this, but they didn't believe it in their hearts, and even felt that they were just thinking wildly.

After all, Yang Guang is the supreme person in the world. His thoughts are difficult for others to guess and are always unexpected.

During this period of time, Yang Ming would bring Yang Rui into the palace with him in order to induce Yang Jian to take action.

After Yang Rui entered the palace, he would go to Queen Xiao's place. He would not leave with his father until Yang Ming finished attending the court meeting.

After the court meeting every day, Yang Guang would leave Qianyang Hall and go to his favorite Huiyou Hall. Only a few ministers could accompany Yang Guang in his private life here.

In other words, the time for Yang Ming to take action must be after the court meeting and when Yang Guang was in Huiyou Hall.

"Is Yang Rui at the Queen's place?" Yang Guang frowned and looked at the chambermaid Gao Ye.

Gao Ye said: "It has been three days in a row. The prince will enter the palace to pay greetings to the queen. It seems to be discussing the wedding next year."

"This kid," Yang Guang immediately turned down his face: "Are you so anxious, grandson? You are so confused by that girl from the Wei family that you can make people laugh at me."

Yang Rui was indeed quite embarrassed, because he was a licker. There were not many lickers in the Sui clan named Yang, but one of them suddenly appeared and turned out to be his successor.

The Wei family's faces are brighter. Look, our daughter is still more attractive, but the old Yang family feels embarrassed. After all, her status is respected.

Yu Shinan smiled and said: "Your Majesty is in his youth, and it is normal for him to be obsessed with men and women. As long as his studies are not delayed, his temperament will stabilize after he gets married next year."

Yes, the relationship between men and women is like this. There is a song that has made it clear: those who cannot get it are always in turmoil, and those who are favored are confident.

Yang Rui and Wei Gui haven't had a substantial relationship yet. After that, once the excitement is over, he will look for another woman.

Things that a young man can't get will eventually trap him for the rest of his life. Even if he gets them, he will be trapped for the rest of his life.

The nobles of the Sui Dynasty all had this experience. The red flag did not fall down at home, but the colorful flags fluttered outside.

Yang Guang couldn't help but smile. Not to mention, he truly doted on Yang Rui now, and put the feelings he had for Yang Zhao in Yang Rui.

In ancient China, there have always been intergenerational relatives, which is very magical. No matter how serious and rigid a person is, he will be different with his grandson.

The reason is that as we get older, our control over our children weakens, and we no longer have a common language. Therefore, the love for the younger generation is placed on the young grandson, which is a kind of emotional sustenance. Furthermore, after old age, life will Entering the second half of his life, his grandchildren are the continuation of his life.

"Let him go, it's rare to think about getting a wife so early," Yang Guang couldn't help laughing: "After a while, let Yang Rui come to me, Bo Shi (Yu Shinan's courtesy name) will teach him, and I will supervise him. "

He had a deep meaning in this passage of time. Whenever Yang Rui was placed next to him, that was when he would take action against Yang Ming.

How could Yang Guang let Yang Rui be hurt again?Did you really dig out the roots of Sui Dynasty?
A tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, you have to see if he treats you as his son.

Historically, when Yang Guang was in Jiangdu and was controlled by rebels who broke into the palace, his first reaction was that Yang Jian was going to kill him, but he never thought that it was Yu Wenhuaji.

It can be seen that the most suspicious thing in Yang Guang's mind is his son.

And Yang Jian, who was sitting here at this moment, felt unhappy because Yang Guang's love for Yang Rui was completely displayed on his face.

I also have a son, who is also your grandson. Why have I never seen you feel so hurt?
Yang Guang's love for Yang Rui turned into hatred for Yang Rui when it came to Yang Jian.

So he would take action before Yang Rui was left with his father and kill both Yang Ming and Yang Rui in one go.

At that time, there will definitely be a big conflict between Yang Xuangan and Pei Ju, and his father must reuse him in order to maintain the balance of the court. At that time, he can take advantage of the situation, win people's hearts and expand his strength.

He was right. If something happened to Yang Rui, Yang Xuangan and Pei Ju would definitely have a big fight.

Because Pei Ju wants to fight for Yang Jin, but as for Xuangan, he also has two biological grandchildren, Yang Qi and Yang Can, who are also direct children.

　Thanks to the boss of Daqian World Yunfeiyang for the 5000 points, thank you.
