Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 740

So Yang Guang, what are you waiting for?

He was waiting for Yu Juluo to make arrangements. Yu Juluo's army was stationed at Dagu Pass in the northwest of Luoyang, while Yu Wenhuaji's Yanshi was in the northeast.

Yang Guang's original intention, in fact, Yang Zhiji and his son had guessed it. Yu Wenhua and his son attacked and killed the prince, and Qi Wang Yang Jian pretended to pass on the imperial edict, double insurance. When the time comes, the death of the prince will be blamed on these two people, then he will You can support Yang Rui with peace of mind.

If a person is not ruthless, he will not stand firm. Since ancient times, there has been no emperor who has not been ruthless.

Zuo Yiwei belongs to Yu Wenshu, but in the final analysis, it belongs to Yang Guang. There are too many people from Yang Guang in Zuo Yiwei. This time, there are two people who are in charge, General Zuo Yiwei Zhonglang and Changsun Sheng. The younger brother Sun Chang, Wu Benlang general Guo Jingshan.

Guo Jingshan is Guo Rong’s son.

These two people will arrange people under Huaji to shoot Yang Ming, because Yang Guang's order to Huaji is to question the prince, and nominally he will never let Huaji kill the prince.

Then the killer hiding in Zuo Yiwei will fish in troubled waters, suddenly use hidden arrows to kill Yang Ming, and pin the crime on Hua Ji.

Then letting Yang Jian's people be responsible for delivering the message to Hua Ji is to drag Yang Jian in and hold him accountable.

Changsun Chang and Guo Jingshan were both Yang Guang's guards. When they received such a mission, they dared not leak it to anyone except themselves. They did not dare to tell anyone except themselves.

And Yu Juluo is responsible for controlling Yu Wenhuaji outside the Xuanwu Gate.

Yang Guang is calculating, Yang Zhen is calculating, and Yang Ming is also calculating.

So what will happen when three people and three plans collide?

On the first day of August in the 13th year of Daye, at night, Yang Guang sent Yu Zhongwen's eldest son Yu Qinwen out of Wufeng Tower and went to the Chongguang Gate of the East Palace to bring Yang Rui, the legitimate grandson of the world, into the palace. The reason was that Yang Guang had a dream with him. It is related to the King of Qin, and I want to bring him into the palace to interpret the dream.

Dong Gong panicked instantly.

Should people give or not?Yang Ming has realized that his father is making a move.

So Yang Ming refused, saying that the prince was unwell and would bring him into the palace to see His Majesty tomorrow morning.

Yu Qinwen was stunned at that time. Are you directly resisting the order?
"Prince, if you do this, you won't be able to explain it to me when you return home," Yu Qinwen said with a confused look on his face.

After Yang Ming was silent for a while, he said: "Let's do this. I will bring him into the palace myself. You can go back and recover first, and then I will bring the prince into the palace."

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Yu Qinwen said.

Yang Yinjiang suddenly became furious: "It's not you who has the final say on whether it's okay or not, get out of here!"

Yu Qinwen's lips twitched, and he had no choice but to lead the people out of the East Palace and wait outside the Chongguang Gate. He would definitely not dare to go back and pay the errand, because he would not be able to pay the errand.

If the prince doesn't come out after a while, he will go to the East Palace to ask for someone else.

At the same time, Yu Wencong, who had received Yang Guang's order, personally led two thousand elites and was waiting north of the imperial city. He himself was waiting at Xuanwu Gate, while Yu Wencong quietly took people to Anning Gate.

"I'm talking about Xu Guogong, you came here with a large group of people in the middle of the night. Whose order are you serving?" After receiving the news, Yang He got up from the bed urgently and shouted to Yu Wenhua and others from the distance on the city wall.

Yu Wenhuaji raised his head and said, "I have a tiger talisman given by your majesty here. I will wait for the prince outside the Xuanwu Gate. King Ying should not ask any more questions. If you think there is something false, you can send someone to the palace to ask for your majesty's instructions. Then you will know what happened." I was ordered to be here.”

Yang He's heart was pounding, and he guessed that something was going to happen.

Xuanwumen has never seen any soldiers dare to come here in such a long time, and they are specifically coming for the prince. He did not dare to be careless and quickly sent people to the palace to see his majesty and ask whether the matter was true.

After a while, the people who came back reported that the emperor did have this intention.

Yang He frowned, opened the city gate with more than 100 people and went out. He rode towards Yu Wenhuaji and said:

"Your Majesty asked you to wait here for the prince, what are you doing?"

Yu Wenhuaji said with a smile: "I can't tell you now, how about it? Please tell me, Your Majesty?"

Yang He nodded and looked solemnly into the dark distance. In another hour and a half, the prince would pass by and enter the palace to attend the court meeting.

The truth will be known in another hour and a half.

Yang He glanced at the heavily armed Zuo Yiwei and ordered his men to summon all the Xuanwumen defenders to stand ready to deal with emergencies.

After discovering that Zuo Yiwei was heading south, the guards at Yang Jian's hiding place urgently notified the warriors hiding in nearby villages to rush to the hiding place to meet up. After taking out their weapons, they would wear Zuo Yiwei's emblem and then head towards Xuanwu Gate. direction is approaching.

Song Laosheng, who was responsible for keeping an eye on them, also moved.

There is Yu Wenji in the front, warrior Yang Jian and Song Laosheng in the middle, and Yu Juluo in the back. This is a game where the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows.

Yang Ming, who was in the East Palace, urgently summoned his subordinates for discussion.

"We can't hand over the crown prince. We have to delay it until the court meeting. Your Highness can take the crown prince out from the north gate." Li Mi said with an anxious look on his face: "The important thing will be tomorrow. Your Highness, let's do it."

Yang Xuanting also gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty has been staying in Huiyou Palace these nights, so we are going to see your Majesty in the name of King Qi's rebellion and King Qin's escort. The left and right guards need to be taken back immediately."

Since the incident involving Xu Jing, Yang Guang has sent people to take over the left and right guards of the East Palace.

Xuanting and the others had no rights for a long time, but they had people.

They can regain military power in a short period of time, but this is tantamount to rebellion, so controlling Yang Guang has become a must-do.Then at this time, everyone realized that what they were about to do was a terrible event.

"Yu Wencong is here," Chen Kui hurried from outside and brought someone in.

Yu Wencong knelt down towards Yang Ming and said, "The master of the house is following His Majesty's order to question the prince, just outside the Xuanwu Gate. However, the master has said that he will support the prince."

Everyone was in great spirits, and Fang Xuanling immediately said: "Let Yu Wenhuaji and his people retreat three miles immediately and not get close to the city wall."

Yu Wencong looked up at Yang Ming, waiting for Yang Ming to speak.

Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "Ask him to do it immediately."

"Yes," Yu Wencong left the East Palace under the guidance of Chen Kui.

"The building is about to collapse. If Yu Wenhuaji hadn't sent someone to report it, we wouldn't know what was going on?" Xue Shou said: "Whether it is true or false, we can use this to act. Your Highness cannot hesitate."

Once Yang Ming hesitates, these people will die with him.

Yang Ming stood up suddenly, glanced at everyone, then cupped his hands and said:
"I am willing to die together with you."

"I would like to live and die together with Your Highness," everyone stood up and said.

Then, everyone began to put on armor, and then Pei Xingyan led 300 people out of Anning Gate to check what was going on at Xuanwu Gate.

Yang Xuanting, Liang Shidu, Luo Shixin, Zhang Yuanbei, Pei Shuang, Li Mi and others immediately took over the left and right guards, while Shi Wanbao was responsible for controlling Duan Wenzhen's son.

Duan Zhen's escort army was affiliated with the Zuotun Guards. There were 2000 people in total. They were nominally guarding the prince in the East Palace, but in fact they were monitoring the East Palace.

However, Zuotun Guards were all members of Shi Wansui from top to bottom. Shi Wanbao brought a dozen people there and claimed that he had something important to report. After seeing Duan Jin, he immediately controlled him.

The people below were at a loss and didn't know what was going on. Shi Wanbao said to the generals who came to check the situation:

"According to His Majesty's instructions to capture Duan Chen, please don't follow me and get involved. Go back where you came from. Take care of your own soldiers."

Among these generals, half were Shi Wansui's old subordinates. They turned and left as soon as they heard this.

We are all smart people. The purpose of not letting them get involved is to keep them out of the matter. If something happens, they will have a reason to shirk. Shi Wanbao said that he was following His Majesty's orders, so we dare not stop him. This is loyalty. The loyal are not guilty.

Taking over the East Palace was already an hour away.

Yu Qinwen shouted outside Chongguang Gate for a long time, but Han Shi'e didn't open the door for him. There was a dead silence above the city gate, as quiet as if no one was there.

What can Yu Qinwen do?I can only go back in despair to resume my life.

Yang Ming would not let his son take risks, and today was the time for him to face off with Yang Guang.

Yang Xuanting led 3000 people out of the city first, and then Yang Ming, escorted by everyone, rushed along the city wall towards Xuanwu Gate.

At this moment, Yu Wenhuaji, after receiving the news brought back by Yu Wencong, ordered the two thousand troops to retreat three miles. He only took less than 100 people and waited outside Xuanwu Gate to show that he was sincerely attached.

It was at this time that the sound of killing suddenly broke out in the north, and countless torches lit up in the distance, dotting the night sky like stars.

Yu Wenhuaji was stunned, what is going on?

Yang He was shocked when he saw this. He retreated to the city gate and ordered his deputy general Yang Wu to lead 1000 people to form a formation outside the city and prepare for the attack.

Yu Wenhua and the men sent out to check the situation came back to report that the defenders at Daguguan were fighting with their Zuo Yiwei. In addition, there were two groups of troops, all elite men in full armor, who were also fighting.

"Yu Juluo!" Yu Wenhua and his eyes were about to split. Yu Juluo was in charge of Dagu Pass, and under his command was the special Luoyang garrison.

How many of the garrison troops have the guts to take action against Zuo Yiwei?At this moment, Huaji has figured everything out. People are like knives and I am like fish and meat.

"Open the city gate and let me in," Yu Wenhuaji shouted loudly, but there was no movement in the direction of the city gate, so he hurriedly withdrew towards the Anning Gate in the direction of the East Palace with less than a hundred people accompanying him.

He had already guessed that Yu Juluo was responsible for dealing with him. No wonder he had sent the message to recruit two thousand elites.

The purpose of setting a number for me is to use an absolute advantage to deal with me. Then Yujuluo in the rear will definitely deal with the 2000 people of Zuo Yiwei and then come over to kill him.

At this time, the army from the East Palace also came over. The sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, and they met Huaji.

Yu Wenhuaji quickly led people to greet him.

"There are changes in the rear. Where is the prince?" Yu Wenhuaji shouted from a distance.

Yang Xuanting glanced at a man behind him who was wearing armor and a face shield, and then said:
"What happened?"

Yu Wenhuaji was about to answer when he heard several angry shouts suddenly coming from behind him.

He turned around in astonishment and saw six or seven people setting up their crossbows and firing their weapons towards Xuanting's back. Seeing this change, his confidants were desperately trying to stop him.

Yu Wenhua and his pupils shrank sharply, and his face turned pale instantly.
He just heard him shout loudly: "I want to live!"
