The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 45
"Yes." The knife and axe promised to rush up, tied up the old man again, and pushed him out. Wu Jianzhang cursed endlessly.

Yang Yong took a look, this old man was really heroic, he was not afraid of danger, he looked at death as home, and he died generously. It's a pity, you are protecting the faint king Yang Guang, it would be great if you could protect me!Yang Yong almost laughed when he thought about it. He was a mud bodhisattva and he couldn't protect himself when crossing the river. Who would want to mess with him at this time?I'm afraid there is no other besides the benevolent and heroic brother Gongye.

Yang Guang is such a lucky boy, how loyal his backer Yang Lin is to him, how loyal King Zhongxiao is to him, and...there are too many loyal ministers and good generals in the Sui Dynasty, unfortunately, they were all met by this boy.What a waste of money, committing crimes, committing crimes!

No, Yang Jie wants to kill Wu Jianzhang, and I have to be charged with this crime.This is Yu Wenhuaji and Yang Guang's method of eliminating dissidents. Yang Lin and Wu Jianzhang are both loyal ministers. Although they have only been in court for a few days, they can be seen from their eyes and words. It's different, it's called borrowing a knife to kill someone.And once Wu Jianzhang dies, they will openly send soldiers to conquer me and the King of Han. Maybe Yang Guang is dispatching troops, so wouldn't it be dangerous for me to come here before my butt is warm?That being the case, why don't we follow the plan and send troops to overthrow him as soon as possible?

Thinking of this, Yang Yong suddenly shouted: "Keep people under the knife!"

Han Wang Yang Jie was startled: "Brother Wang, what else do you need?"

Yang Yong explained his thoughts in detail, Yang Jie couldn't help nodding, and the military adviser Guo Liang said: "Shoulder with Wang Gaojian, since this is the case, soldiers are very expensive, and we should take advantage of the time when the Hunjun has not completed the deployment of troops." Send troops quickly and take down the capital in one fell swoop!"

"Okay, it's just what Guyi wants. We will send troops today! What about the old Wu?" The King of Han asked Yang Yong and Guo Liang.

"Fifth brother, in my opinion, not only can we not kill Wu Jianzhang, but you have to do this..." Yang Yong whispered something to Yang Jie, which made Yang Jie smile, "Hmm...high! !"

After saying this, seeing Yang Jie complacent and puzzled by everyone, Yang Yong felt as if he had been Zhuge Liang for a while, and this was the only way to save King Zhongxiao.

Yang Jie, king of Han, came to the execution ground from the main hall, and saw that King Zhongxiao had been tied to the execution post. Several executioners were holding ghostly swords, some sprayed wine on the sword, some took off their clothes, and were about to execute.And King Zhongxiao showed no fear on his face, closed his eyes and said nothing, just waiting here to die.

Yang Jie came over to push the executioner away, and whispered: "My lord, who do you think I am?"

King Zhongxiao is here waiting to die with his eyes closed. To be honest, he is extremely disturbed. Although he is loyal to Da Sui and Yang Guang, he also thinks about what Yang Yong and Yang Jie said just now.In all honesty, he is not satisfied with Yang Guang, especially Yuwen Chengdu and Yue Wang Yang Su, who rely on power, play tricks, form cliques, and eliminate dissidents, but Yang Guang is still willing to listen to these people, What kind of worm is this, what kind of wood is arched, that is determined by God.

In the matter of treating Yang Yong, King Zhongxiao also sympathized with Yang Yong, saying that you are brothers, you took the position of prince and became emperor, and Yang Yong was demoted from prince to ordinary people, which is enough See, why do you want to kill them all?Don't think about brotherhood at all.It's too cruel!

Moreover, Yang Yong pointed it out to him on the spot and asked him to issue the edict. This was completely a trick of Yu Wenhuaji.King Zhongxiao firmly believed in this. Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful and unwilling, but if he was to bow his knees and surrender, and rebel with King Han and Yang Yong, he would die!
At this time, a familiar voice sounded in my ears, and I couldn't help but open my eyes—look, the executioner who wanted to kill him was far away, and Yang Jie, the king of Han, stood in front of him, his expression changed, from the previous hostility to Soft and kind.

Wu Jianzhang was taken aback, and said coldly: "What are you doing here? Are you persuading me to surrender? Save yourself, and give me a good time."

"Where did the prince say that?" Yang Jie said in a low voice, "The prince is the head of the nine elders of the Xing Sui Dynasty. His achievements are as high as the sun and the moon. He has made great contributions to his father's country and society for quite a long time. The little king can only admire him. How dare you do harm?"

When King Zhongxiao heard that Yang Jie's tone had changed, he was startled and asked, "What is the King of Han's intention?"

Yang Jie sighed and said: "My lord, to tell you the truth, I had to do this in front of my elder brother Yang Yong just now. The elder brother is like a father, he is so pitiful that I voted for it once, how could Xiao Wang not read it?" What about shutting out the love in your hands?
You were escorted out just now, and I watched the minister beg you for mercy, and then the king came down the donkey and said that he would imprison you.This is all to deceive people. After a while, the king will order someone to send you to Jinyang.If there is any offense, please don't blame the prince. "Speaking, Yang Jie gave a deep salute.

King Zhongxiao was even more stunned, didn't speak, and looked at Yang Jie puzzled.

Yang Jie continued: "To tell you the truth, I don't hate my second brother Yang Guang. He is the imperial father's imperial prince. His succession to the throne is justified. Little Wang An dares to make a mistake? I hate my elder brother for being murdered by a traitor. I hate Yu Wenhua and his idiots for taking power and messing up the court. The content of the imperial edict just now is verbatim, Xiao Wang has memorized it, and Xiao Wang complies with it. Personally escort him to Beijing."

"King of Han, are you serious?" Wu Jianzhang still didn't believe it.

"Really, the sun can be shown." Yang Jie said, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed to the sky, "It's just the prince, Xiao Wang is afraid that the emperor will believe the slander again when he enters Beijing, and lose his freedom like the fourth brother, wouldn't it be sad!"

King Zhongxiao was happy: "Don't worry, the king of Han, your safety is on the veteran, and the veteran guarantees his life. It is right for the king of Han to do this. As long as you don't rebel, there is room for recovery. Moreover, the veteran not only keeps you safe It's all right, the old minister has guaranteed that Yang Yong is safe and sound. You are not guilty, this is all a trick of Yu Wenhuaji. As long as you enter Beijing according to the order, I will immediately talk to Changping Wang Rui, Tang Guogong Li Yuan, Pu Shangong Li Mi, etc. Seeing you in the palace, I am deeply saddened by the truth of this matter, I believe that the emperor must be a person who knows right from wrong."

"Okay, King Zhongxiao really lives up to his name, so I'm in trouble. Someone, put Wu Jianzhang under house arrest and be ready to die at any time." After Yang Jie finished speaking, the soldiers came to untie King Zhongxiao from the pillar, and then Yang Jie Jie explained a few words to the leader, and agreed to the leader, Yang Jie nodded slightly as the king of Zhongxiao, then turned and went back to the hall.

King Zhongxiao was released soon, and someone escorted him out of Jinyang. After leaving Puzhou, Wu Jianzhang believed in King Han's words, moved, and rode his horse back to Daxing City under the protection of his personal guards. .

King Zhongxiao calculated along the way that Yang Jie and Yang Yong were not bad, as long as they did not rebel and were willing to enter the capital according to the imperial decree, his promise would have to be fulfilled, saying that Yang Guang should not be allowed to kill these two.Otherwise, I will be the chief culprit who killed these two people, and I will be in trouble for the rest of my life.

When we arrived in the capital, it was already late in the afternoon. Wu Jianzhang made up his mind to pay attention to the advanced palace to hand over the order, and then he was going to discuss countermeasures with those clerks. He also felt that his own strength was too uncertain, so he hurried Come to the palace.

When Yang Guang heard that Wu Jianzhang had returned, he was overjoyed, and he was looking forward to the news of Wu Jianzhang, so he hurriedly sent an order to see him.

When Wu Jianzhang saw Yang Guang in the West Palace, he knelt down and kowtowed, and told the story of his trip to Jinyang, but the old man modified some places, trying to put it in a nice way, and put away the disrespect of people like Yang Jie and Yang Yong. Words and deeds have been processed.

Yang Guang was taken aback when he heard this, what did he think?The King of Han promised to take Yang Yong to the capital tomorrow. If this is the case, it will save me a lot of trouble. I can solve the two major confidant problems without a single soldier, and I am so happy from ear to ear.

After Wu Jianzhang finished playing on his knees, he withdrew to find Changping Wang Qiurui and several civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

While Yang Guang was happy, he was still a little worried. If the King of Han really came, how would he deal with it? He didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly called Yu Wenhuaji into the palace to discuss matters.

After Yu Wenhuaji saluted Yang Guang, Yang Guang happily repeated Wu Jianzhang's words to him, and asked, "Aiqing, the King of Han will really escort Yang Yong to Beijing tomorrow, what should I plan?"

Listening to Yang Guang's narration, Yu Wenhuaji kept turning his eyes. Seeing Yang Guang asking him, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, it would be much easier if that was the case. How did the King of Shu handle it, so that the King of Han can follow him?" Follower, as for what Yang Yong should do, I don't need to say too much. However, I always feel that Wu Jianzhang's performance is deceitful."

"Oh? Aiqing, where is the fraud?" Yang Yong asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty understands the King of Han better than my ministers. You are brothers. This man has great ambitions and is capable of both civil and military affairs. He has such a large territory. When the late emperor was here, he used the Turkic threat as an excuse to ask the late emperor for a lot of money and food. Make peace with soldiers, and recruit soldiers everywhere to strengthen combat readiness.

As far as I know, the King of Han currently has more than 50 elite soldiers, and there are no less than a thousand generals who are accustomed to fighting.With such a strong strength, he has no selfishness, do you believe it, Your Majesty?Moreover, what happened to the King of Shu just happened, so it is impossible for him not to know, how could he easily enter Beijing to submit?Yang Yong has a very close relationship with the King of Han, His Majesty knows this, therefore, I believe that if Yang Yong escapes, the King of Han must use this as an excuse to plot something wrong! "

"What Aiqing said is very true. Then you say that King of Han is setting us up in an enchanted formation and tricking Wu Jianzhang back? Does he have other plans?"

"Well, it's very possible. Another possibility is that Wu Jianzhang didn't tell His Majesty the truth."

"Huh? What do you mean? Ai Qing said clearly." Yang Guang's eyes immediately widened.

Yu Wenhua and Shili said: "Your Majesty, Wu Jianzhang has a very close relationship with the backer king, and Yang Yong is the most beloved godson of the backer king. I suspect that Wu Jianzhang may fool His Majesty and cover Yang Yong. Your Majesty can announce Wu Jianzhang to come here." , and so on, just follow the plan, and you will know the truth once you try it."

Yang Guang's face sank when he heard this, and the joy just now was swept away, and he immediately delivered an order, "Come on, deliver the order, let King Zhongxiao enter the palace immediately!"
