Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 747 Yang Laosi
Daye Hall, two women and one man.

The maid held the lamp and left here, leaving Yang Ming and the three of them alone.

Empress Xiao had woken up from a coma, her eyes were dull, and she was staring straight at the ground as if she had lost her soul.

Yang Lihua, on the other hand, looked at Yang Ming with a gloomy expression.

"What is going on in our family? Each one of them is more cruel than the other when dealing with their relatives," Yang Lihua said, "Tell me, what are you going to do next?"

Yang Ming sighed and said: "My nephew was also forced to have no choice. You know it now. If I hadn't reacted in time, what you would see now would be my body."

Yang Lihua glanced at Empress Xiao, and then said: "The father and son fought so hard, and the history books are brilliant. You don't feel ashamed. Now the situation is temporarily stable. Are you planning to go on a killing spree? You still have to be merciful." Spare me?"

"I was going to listen to my aunt's opinion," Yang Ming said humbly.

Yang Lihua nodded: "We can't build a big prison for the time being, so take your time. There are some people you can't kill right now, and you can't kill them. We should put the overall situation first, and we should minimize the big problems."

Yang Ming said: "My nephew means the same thing."

This time the chaos in Luoyang was a bit too big.

Yang Ming's original intention was to rely on his gang in the East Palace to force the palace to control Yang Guang with the power of thunder, but fate was not as good as fate, and it happened to coincide with Yang Guang's timing to deal with him, causing a chain of events. In response, the entire army in Luoyang area moved.

However, the losses were not serious. Yang Xuanzang, Dugu Wudu, and Pei Renji were basically undamaged, and Li Jing and Yin Shishi did not fight too hard.

In the fierce street fighting between Guo Rong, Shi Xiang and Yang Yuanqing, more than 2000 people died and five or six thousand were injured, which is still acceptable.

The hardest hit was the Yujuluo tribe in the north. Fortunately, Yu Wenhuaji reversed the situation and Dou Kang chose to take sides, forcing the Yujuluo tribe to surrender. Even so, seven or eight thousand people from each tribe died in total.

As for Yao Junsu and Qu Tutong, who arrived late from the east, they are still confused and don't know what happened.

Despite all the difficulties and dangers, she succeeded in the end. After all, it was a forced uterus, and it was impossible without bloodshed.

Seeing that Yang Ming agreed with her idea, Yang Lihua began to comfort Empress Xiao:

"You don't see this kind of thing very often. It's hard to accept it for a while. It's normal. However, this kind of thing is not new in the royal family. It was the same in the old Zhou Yuwen family, and it was the same with the Amana brothers. The current ending is good. If It is Yang Ming who loses and will suffer endless consequences."

This is a big heart. As the only person who can confront Dugu Jialuo, Yang Lihua is definitely not simple. The main reason is that she has experienced a lot.

Yang Jian killed her stepson, but she survived. Three of the five younger brothers died, and two of the four younger sisters died. She also survived, and she accepted the transition from the queen to the eldest princess.

Therefore, she is relatively able to see the infighting between Yang Guang and his son.

Empress Xiao let out a long sigh and said dullly: "It's whatever you say, I don't want to care about it, and I can't care about it."

Yang Lihua nodded and looked at Yang Ming: "Let your fourth uncle come out and help you take charge of the overall situation. He is not a threat to you."

Among the five Yang Guang brothers, Yang Jun, the third, likes money, and Yang Xiu, the fourth, is superstitious about ghosts and gods. They are both quite weird, but if you say that they have no interest in the throne, that is impossible.

They obey Yang Yong, but they definitely don't obey Yang Guang, because it was like this in ancient times, the eldest son was superior.

Yang Ming naturally understands what Yang Lihua means. They are not suggesting that Yang Ming give power, or restore the title of King of Shu, or let Yang Xiu come out to suppress the court. The power will not be given at all, but it will make you open your mouth. say.

Some people open their mouths and the portion is enough.

In the Great Sui clan, no one can match Yang Xiu's prestige at the moment, because he is of the bloodline of Emperor Gaozu and is directly related to the royal family.

As for Yang Ming, he was very dissatisfied with the performance of Yang Zhiji and his son. Li Mi had analyzed in private that these two people were definitely not reliable. They were betting on Yang Ming and did not put in their full effort.

"What my aunt said makes sense. It would undoubtedly be best if my fourth uncle could come back to help," Yang Ming nodded.

Yang Xiu and his wife were in the palace, and Yang Guang took them with him wherever he went. If it weren't for Yang Liang's death and Yang Lihua's suspicion of him, Yang Guang would have killed Yang Xiu long ago.

If he doesn't kill, he doesn't want to fall out with his sister.

Yang Xiu's eldest son, Yang Xiao, married the daughter of the naturalized Hou Xiaoqiu. This marriage was personally arranged by Yang Ming from beginning to end. Although Yang Xiao has attacked the King of Shu, he is only a member of the Anhua Gate of Daxing City. The prison general had a very unsatisfactory life.

Yang Ming did not attend the court meetings in the past few days. Pei Ju was responsible for presiding over it. Yang Ming declared that he was taking care of the emperor and appeasing the queen with the words "loyalty and filial piety". Naturally, no one would say that he ignored state affairs.

On this day, the ministers gathered in the Qianyuan Hall and were discussing the aftermath of various military affairs.

Yang Xiu, dressed in civilian clothes, came in through the palace gate with his sleeves clapped, leaving all the officials stunned.

Yang Xiu looked around and said with a smile: "I wonder where I should sit?"

Yang Da smiled and explained to everyone: "The King of Shu has been worshiped by the prince as his disciple Nayan. The prince's Taibao naturally sits at the top of the clan." Yang Xiu, who is 45 years old this year, suddenly looked at Yang Zhiji and smiled: "I He is no longer the King of Shu, so he should sit in the position below his cousin."

Does Yang Zhiji dare?The word "cousin" in people's mouth already implies to you that we are cousins, not brothers.

"Silang is the direct descendant of the great ancestor, so he naturally sits at the top." Yang Zhiji quickly moved his buttocks to make way for others.

Yang Xiu smiled: "Then I'm welcome."

After saying that, he sat down.

When this kid came to power, the Yuan family and the Changsun family in Luoyang all followed him. He had the final say in the entire Bashu, and he was the most capable of the five Yang brothers.

"His Majesty was assassinated and the country was shaken. The prince asked me, a free man, to come out to calm the situation." Yang Xiu said lightly: "I don't have the ability, so I can just be a spectator at the court meeting."

Pei Ju said with a smile: "You still need to give me more advice. The prince is fulfilling his filial piety at his knees. We can't bother you. You can't let go of big or small things."

"Since Pei Gong said so, then I will do whatever it takes," Yang Xiu smiled: "This incident happened to King Qi, which shows that the clan is unstable and is not good for the country. Are you right, you two?"

After saying that, he looked at Yang Zhiji and Yang Lun.

"You're right," the two nodded quickly.

Yang Xiu had met Yang Ming in advance and knew that his task this time was to suppress the clan, and he had the ability and prestige.

In his heyday, this boy was the general manager of Yizhou, one of the four general managers. He was the commander-in-chief of the military in 24 states, the Shangshu Ling of Xingtai of Southwest Dao, the Ling of Neishi Ling, and the general who led the army on the right.

He is not a stick, he is better than Yang Jun and Yang Liang, but he is too superstitious.

Historically, during the Jiangdu Palace Incident, after Yu Wenhuaji killed Yang Guang, he originally planned to make Yang Xiu the emperor, but felt that he could not control it, so he killed him.

Yang Xuangan said: "We were just discussing how to deal with Zhang Jin, Xiao Jue and Master Yin Shi. Now that you are here, what do you think about this?"

"It's not a big deal," Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just a matter of incompetence in doing things. The prince also hates him for not fighting. He is impatient and makes a mess when things happen. It shows that their morals are not worthy of their position. If you ask me, I should dismiss him first and leave him alone. Use it later."

In the whole incident, Yu Juluo was the first one who couldn't escape. He knew it better than anyone else, so he died generously. Yang Lihua also knew it well, so she killed decisively.

As for other people, you have no way to punish them right now.

For example, Yu Zhongwen came to Beijing as a Qinwang and his slogans were great and upright. Can you say that he was wrong?
There is a change in the palace. Zhang Jin must meet the emperor. Where did the mistake come from?
You can't kill a boss of this level without a legitimate reason. You can only make him idle and find another reason to kill him later.

The most pity is Mai Tiezhang. Yang Ming really likes this person, but there is no way. He is Yang Guang's die-hard loyalist, but Mai Tiezhang's son can still be used.

At the court meeting, everyone agreed that the Xuanwu Gate was the biggest drawback of this change, so it was suggested to build another palace outside the Xuanwu Gate to protect Ziwei City.

This proposal was unanimously approved.

Yang Yinjiang, who was in the East Palace, was extremely excited at this moment. She knew that she was about to become the queen and she would not wait too long.

However, the worry over the past few days also made her fall ill once she was relieved. It was either a serious illness or excessive fatigue.

Yang Ming ordered a city gate to be opened between Ziwei City and the East Palace to facilitate the entry and exit of his family. After all, no one dared to go through the Xuanwu Gate anymore.

On this day, Yang Ming finally took the time to come to Tongming Hall and met Yu Zhongwen and the others.

After seeing Yang Ming, several people stood up one after another, looking guilty.

Of course they felt guilty. Killing a meritorious prince on my order was a very nonsense thing, because they didn't know that the prince had long wanted to deal with his father.

"Sit down, sit down, the matter is over, don't make a sad face," Yang Ming sat down on the main seat under the protection of Qianniu Beishen.

Yu Zhongwen said: "I am ashamed to face the prince and sit down without shame."

Yang Ming smiled: "We are all old acquaintances and have often dealt with each other in the past. The situation that things have developed is not what I want to see. People outside don't know what happened. As for me, I don't have the shame to tell People in the world, as the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public, tell me what your plans are in the future."

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that the prince wanted to let them go, because the emperor's murder of the prince could not be spread out. If it was not spread, there would be no reason to kill them.

Yu Zhongwen breathed a sigh of relief: "I will let the prince handle me."

"You can decide for yourself if I won't handle it," Yang Ming said, "Don't worry, I will promise you in the end."

Yu Zhongwen was stunned, and his heart that had just dropped suddenly rose again.

Is this asking me to convict myself?
