On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 37
In the second year of Daxiang (580), on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Emperor Yu Wenyun of Tianyuan collapsed suddenly. Because he could not speak at the end of his life, he could not leave a will. Xiao Yuzheng Liu Fang and Neishi Zhengyi then ordered Yang Jian to be the president. Knowing the military and horse affairs at home and abroad, he is given military and political power.

When Emperor Tianyuan died of illness, Yan Zhiyi, a senior officer of Yuzhengzhong, was by his side. He knew the inside story and refused to sign the edict.

The false edict issued to the twelve guards of the government soldiers, and all the soldiers and horses in Chang'an were under Yang Jian's command. Yang Jian asked Yan Zhiyi for the jade seal, but Yan Zhiyi categorically refused:

"This thing of the Son of Heaven has its own owner, so why do you ask for it?"

Yang Jian was furious, but because Yan Zhiyi had always been popular, he didn't dare to kill him to arouse public grievances, so he was exiled from Chang'an, and served as the prefect of Xijiang County (Diebu, Gansu Province), and he got his wish and took Yuxi into his arms.

On the same day, Emperor Tianyuan held a funeral. His daughter Yang Lihua was the empress dowager, and the younger emperor's biological mother Zhu Manyue was honored as the empress dowager. Cut off the possibility of Yu Chijiong and others intervening in politics as foreign relatives.

In order to deceive others, Yang Jian took Emperor Tianyuan and his mother's younger brother Yu Wenzan, the king of Han, as the prime ministers of the right.

With the assistance of Liu Fang, Zheng Yi and others, Yang Jian was able to successfully seize power under the guise of the emperor's will.

Chen Yueyi's father, Chen Shanti, and Yuan Leshang's father, Yuan Sheng, knew that a catastrophe was approaching, so they fled Chang'an one after another without knowing where they ended up.

Thanks to Qi Wang Yu Wenxian, Ozuka Zai Yuwen Xiaobo and others were successively removed by Emperor Tianyuan, Yang Jian's threat in the court was only the little emperor's uncle, Han Wang Yuwen Zan.

However, Yu Wenzan really didn't have much talent, otherwise Emperor Wu of Zhou would have deposed Emperor Tianyuan's crown prince long ago, and Liu Fang tricked Yu Wenzan out of Miyagi with only a prostitute, and secluded himself in the Han Palace.

Since then, Yang Jian has completely controlled the power of the court, and there is no threat in Chang'an City.

But he didn't dare to take it lightly, the real test was never in the court, Yuan Sheng was just a remnant of the clan of the previous dynasty, although Chen Shanti came from Wuchuan, he was a surrender of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yu Wenzan and others were even more mediocre and more dangerous still in place.

Emperor Tianyuan used his five uncles to leave the vassal. Yang Jian used the pretext of going to the funeral to urge Zhao, Chen, Yue, Dai, and Teng five kings to enter the dynasty. The five kings were suspected by Emperor Tianyuan and did not hold local real power.

For example, King Chen Yu Wenchun was in charge of Qizhou, and Yang Jian only sent Sergeant Cui Peng to bring two knights. When Cui Peng came to Qizhou, he shouted, "King Chen is guilty, and he will be conscripted into the court", and he was easily arrested. Chang'an.

The five kings entered the court successively, that is to say, they conspired with Yu Wenxian, the governor of Yongzhou, to kill Yang Jian.

The reason why Yang Jian forbears is to deal with his real enemies, those chief executives who hold real power in the local area.

Among them, the one who made him fear the most was Wei Chijiong, the governor of Xiangzhou.

When Yang Jian tried to seize power, in order to gain the trust of Yuchijiong, he sent Yuchidun, the proton who stayed in Chang'an, to the east, and called Yuchijiong back to Beijing for the funeral.

He also ordered Wei Xiaokuan to replace Yu Chijiong as the governor of Xiangzhou, and Chilie Changyi was appointed as the governor of Xiangzhou. He specifically ordered Chilie Changyi to go first, and Wei Xiaokuan set off afterwards.

Yuchi Dun was given the task of calling back his father, but when they arrived in Yecheng, when the father and son met, Yuchi Dun persuaded:

"Pu Liuru pretended to be the regent, arbitrarily arbitrarily determined, and used his power for himself. Chi Fan was also the former emperor and empress, but he was forced by him to cut off his hair and become a nun. His intention was because of his father.

"If my father enters the court lightly, then people will be swords and I will be fish, and life and death will depend on other people's thoughts.

"If Yanzhao's bravery, Qi's richness, and strength to the west, in order to get rid of the ministers, with the father's prestige, the officials and the people will serve as food pots and milk to welcome the righteous teachers, so why worry about great things not being accomplished!"

The rest of the scholars also agreed one after another, persuading Yu Chijun not to trust Yang Jian.

Of course Yuchijiong would not be fooled. He left Yuchidun in Yecheng, refused to obey the order, and secretly contacted his nephew Yuchiqin, the general manager of Qingzhou, and prepared to raise troops.

In the city of Ye, the undercurrent is raging. The second envoy sent by Yang Jian, Po Liuhanpeng, has a secret conspiracy with Yuchijiong's subordinate Jin Chang. Yuchijiong finds out and kills him, and the two officially break up.

"Pu Liurujian is mediocre in intelligence, but he used his status as a relative to bully the young master and covet the artifact.

"The late emperor appointed me as the governor of Xiangzhou to control Hebei, which is to entrust the safety plan to prevent the court's treacherous and sycophant from gaining power.

"I, Wei Chi, summoned righteous men, not for personal reasons, but only for the sake of helping the country and the festival of all ministers.

"Today, if Jianyi succeeds by chance, I would like to share the wealth and honor with you, what do you think!"

Cui Che raised his head, looked at Yu Chijiong who raised his arms and shouted on the tower to the north, and the two heads hanging from the tower, touched his neck with lingering fear, and turned a deaf ear to the excited voices of the people around him.

The two heads that were still dangling were Yang Jian's envoy, Po Liuhan, and another secret agent, Jin Chang, who was hiding in the Yuchijiong shogunate.

Jin Chang missed the trick a long time ago, Yu Chijiong didn't attack for a long time, but he was worried about getting rid of Jin Chang, Yang Jian sent another Cui Chang, and kept him.

That's why Jin Chang received Yang Jian's secret letter and was about to make a move, but Yu Chijiong took the lead in attacking him.

But Yuchi Jiong was careless after all, there is no Cui Chang, but there is Cui Che.

Cui Che hid it very deeply. In the first month of returning to Xiangzhou, he lived and boarded with his cousin Cui Dana, practiced riding and shooting, and didn't ask about other things.

In late May, the news of Emperor Tianyuan's death spread to Hebei. Knowing that Yang Jian was in power, he returned to his hometown in Dingzhou, spent all his wealth, recruited parts, and bought horses and armored battles.

Others asked him why, and they also said that he had offended Yang Jian's son and wanted to go to Gao Baoning in Yingzhou or flee to the grassland in order to make a living.

If Yu Chijiong hadn't heard the news from Cui Dana and quickly asked him to call Cui Che back, perhaps Brother Che had already brought the three thousand pieces he recruited to the grassland to be a horse thief.

For the sake of acting, Yuchi couldn't help but not believe it.

Zhang Wu lightly touched Cui Che's back, and Cui Che immediately came back to his senses, raised his right arm high, and shouted with everyone:
"I would like to work with Chief Yuchi to punish the country's thieves!"

At the same time, Wei Xiaokuan, who was coming to Yecheng and was about to take up the post of Xiangzhou's general manager, also encountered a crisis, and managed to escape the pursuit of Yuchijiong's henchmen, so he hurriedly reported the news to Chang'an.

However, Yu Chijiong had already raised his troops, and the Xiang, Wei, Li, Mao, Bei, Zhao, Ji, Ying, Cang and other Hebei prefectures under the jurisdiction of his Xiangzhou General Manager's Office responded one after another. His nephew Wei Chiqin led Qing, Qi, Jiao, Guang Zhou, Ju and other prefectures also rebelled accordingly, and the Yuchi family had hundreds of thousands of people at one time, including Che Geer's [-] plays.
