On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 351
After the three-day hunger strike, Prince Yang Guang finally relented and was willing to eat porridge every day after the persuasion of the princess Xiao Shi, Jin Wang Yang Zhao and others.

But in private, there are no taboos. Apart from eating wine and meat, they are happy with their wives and concubines every night.

But within the high walls of the East Palace, Yang Yong, the deposed prince who was imprisoned and free, also had mixed feelings when he heard that his mother had died of illness.

It's just that when seeing his concubine Yun Zhaoxun beaming with joy over the death of Dugu Jialuo, Yang Yong didn't say anything to reprimand him.

Of course Yun Zhaoxun hated that mother-in-law, Dugu Jialuo just despised her, and insisted that the bastard he gave birth to for Yang Yong was a pig and dog, no mother could bear such humiliation.

In fact, Yang Yong's resentment towards his mother is no less than that of Yun Zhaoxun.

Among the brothers, because of the eccentricity of the parents when dividing the family property, they will even blame their parents.

Now that Yang Yong has become a prisoner from the crown prince of a country with infinite glory, in his opinion, it is all thanks to Dugu Jialuo, so how could he think of that mother's kindness.

Fortunately, apart from Yang Jian, there are still people who are heartbroken because of Dugu Jialuo's death.

Cui Che's two wives, Yang Lihua and Yang Awu, cried all day long.

Yang Lihua was forced to commit suicide by Yu Wenyun back then. It was Dugu Jialuo who entered the palace to plead for mercy and kowtowed until her head was bleeding, which saved her from death.

Dugu Jialuo was also worried about Yang Awu's marriage.

On weekdays, the two of them are also the most loved by their mother compared to the other three sisters.

But Yang Lihua still endured her grief, and quickly cheered up.

There is no other reason. There are so many concubines and children in the Manchu Dynasty. Only Yang Lihua can relieve Yang Jian.

The death of Dugu Jialuo made Yang Jian extremely sad. It is true that he has been immersed in the tenderness of Er Chen in the past few years, but no matter how favored Er Chen is, his status in his heart is just a plaything for entertainment. Comparable to getting married with a wife.

Yang Jian entrusted Yang Su to take care of Dugu Jialuo's funeral, and he ignored political affairs. He hid in the harem and fell into memories. The loving time of the past 48 years flooded into his heart bit by bit, which made Yang Jian even more depressed. .

On August 28, Dugu Jialuo died of illness, and on October [-], he was buried in Tailing.

Yang Jian issued an edict, on the grounds that Yang Su devoted himself to taking care of the funeral, and named Yang Su's son Duke Yikang, with [-] households in the city, and gave Yang Su [-] hectares of land, [-] pieces of silk, and [-] stones of rice. And a lot of gold beads and silk.

However, the spread of this edict to Liaodong caused widespread dissatisfaction among the soldiers who followed Cui Che to run Liaodong.

They thought that Yang Jian's rewards and punishments were unfair. Cui Che's seizure of Liaodong, covering thousands of miles, was nothing more than adding a first class to his second son Cui Yanzong, making him a county prince, and giving him two thousand sheep and two thousand pieces of silk.

However, Yang Su's extravagant and wasteful funeral, but he was able to get such a generous reward, also made the soldiers resentful about it: what's the use of expanding the territory, the credit is not even as good as presiding over the funeral.

Of course, these are things to follow.

After Dugu Jialuo's funeral, with Yang Lihua's relief, Yang Jian finally came out of his grief. The first thing he did was to order Yang Su to investigate the crime of Shu king Yang Xiu.

Kaifuyi and Sansi Qingzheng advised:
"The common man Yang Yong has been abolished, King Qin is dead, and His Majesty's sons are running out. With King Shu's disposition, if he is severely punished, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to survive."

This made Yang Jian furious and ordered Qingzheng's tongue to be cut off.

Prince Yang Guangming pleaded for Yang Xiu on the surface, but in private he made dolls, tied the hands and feet of the dolls, nailed the hearts with silver needles, put shackles on the dolls, and wrote on them:
'Please take away the spirits of Yang Jian and Yang Liang from the loving father and mother of Xiyue, and keep them in this shape, and don't let them disperse. '

Yang Guang buried the puppet in Mount Hua, and Yang Su dug it up, accusing Yang Xiu of being a witch.

Yang Jian was furious. On December [-], he issued an edict to abolish Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, as a commoner. , up to more than a hundred people.

Yang Xiu was wronged, so she had to plead guilty, hoping that Yang Jian would pay attention to his family and let him meet his son Yang Guazi.

Although Yang Jian said:
'I don't know if Yang Jian and Yang Liang are your relatives. '

But he, who had just experienced the pain of losing his wife, was also worried that Yang Xiu would commit suicide, as Qingzheng said, so he should be kind enough to reunite Yang Xiu with Yang Guazi and his son.

Yang Liang, who returned to Guanzhong for the funeral, witnessed all this, and felt a sense of crisis spontaneously.

Yang Jian is old and confused, but it doesn't mean that he is also stupid. If it is really about Yang Xiu practicing witchcraft, why would he only write about Yang Jian and Yang Liang, and leave out Yang Guang alone.

It was obvious that Yang Guang himself wanted to frame Yang Xiu, but he was worried that this kind of thing would really work, so he didn't dare to write his own name.

Now that Yang Xiu has also been deposed as a commoner and imprisoned, whose turn will it be next?

After Yang Jun died, Yang Yong and Yang Xiu no longer posed a threat. Of the five brothers, Yang Liang was the only one left.

Yang Liang didn't want to end up in the same fate as his brothers. After returning to Bingzhou, he began to make some preparations secretly.

Father Yang Jian's body can't last long, his body was already hollowed out by wine and sex, and he suffered from the pain of losing his wife. Looking at his haggard appearance, Yang Liang knew that Yang Jian couldn't protect him for too long.

Once Yang Guang ascended the throne, he must attack himself.

However, Yang Liang wanted to seek rebellion, and he was between Hebei and Guanzhong, and it was impossible to do it only in Hedong.

Therefore, Yang Liang also set his sights on Cui Che, if he could get Cui Che's support, it would be enough to become the power of Eastern Wei and Northern Qi, and he could compete with Yang Guang.

Having made up his mind, Yang Liang took a two-pronged approach, while continuing to send people to Liaodong to befriend Cui Che.

On the one hand, they sent people into the court, waiting for an opportunity to drive a wedge between Cui Che and Yang Guang.

But in fact, the two of them have been in harmony for a long time, so there is no need for outsiders to work hard for it.

When Yang Liang's secret envoy arrived in Liaodong City, it was already the end of the second year of Renshou, and Cui Che was preparing to return to Youzhou after the beginning of spring.

In the past six months, with Fang Xuanling's assistance, Cui Che has established a new order in Liaodong, and at the same time, he has successfully used his methods of winning people's hearts to win the hearts of the soldiers.

As for the Goguryeo King Gao Yuan, Cui Che did not continue his eastward expedition, and he was already desperate for it, and he never dared to propose to regain the lost land.

In Liaodong City, in Yan State Mansion, Cui Che received Yang Liang's envoy.

"Your envoy is here, why?"

Cui Che asked.

The messenger bowed and replied:
"At the order of the King of Han, I came here to visit Duke Yan. I have prepared a little courtesy. It is the King of Han's wish. Please accept it with a smile."

As he spoke, the messenger pointed to the boxes of goods he had brought.

Cui Che withdrew his gaze, shook his head and sighed:
"The empress passed away, it was supposed to be Cui who sent someone to condolences to the King of Han, how can I thank you for coming here."
