Chapter 184 Face Saint
Yang Guang said that he was able to intercept Tang Bi's memorial, and this was definitely not a brag.
To this day, Yang Guang can almost control more than half of civil and military officials to speak for him and do things for him, and there are only a handful of people who do not need to rely on him.
Among these few people, Li Hun had been killed by him. Wu Jianzhang was plagued by family scandals and hardly went to court. There were also several powerful founding officials who were not in the court. They led their army to guard the border. In the court, there were only two people who could bypass him and talk to the emperor, one was the crown prince and the other was Li Yuan.
However, the Crown Prince Yang Yong has always been lazy and leisurely. He only knows the romance, poetry, songs and essays every day. He waits for his father Yang Jian to die. As long as no one looks for him, he will never ask about political affairs. So in the end, only Li Yuan can sing a counter-topic with Yang Guang in front of the emperor.
As long as Li Yuan didn't speak, there would be no problem in this matter. Not to mention just stopping Tang Bi's memorial, it would not be a problem to hide Lai Hu'er's death for ten years. Even if everyone in the world knows it, the emperor will not know it.
Then would Li Yuan take the initiative to tell the emperor, "My son killed the Chaozhong Chong and the future protector"? Of course, it won't. Li Yuan is not a fool.
The reason why Yang Guang was straightforward to Li Zhiyun was because he was also in a hurry.
His emperor's father was in poor health recently. He only went to court three times in a month and was resting for the rest of the time. Of course, he could visit him as the second prince at any time, and it would be too much if he brought outsiders to the palace to meet him. But today was an opportunity because he knew that his father would definitely deal with political affairs this afternoon.
The emperor's father just received a memorial delivered by Wu Kui in Youzhou this afternoon. The memorial was handed over by himself. There was only one letter in the memorial, which was written in Chinese characters, but the words were not meaningful and could hardly understand it. He only knew that this was evidence that Luo Yi, the King of Peking, collected by Wu Kui, was connected to the enemy.
Wu Kui was the governor of Youzhou and the chief executive of Youzhou set up by the emperor to check and balance Luo Yi.
Wu Kui is his own person and has always been "filial to him" for many years. The memorial he sent to the emperor will not be detrimental to him, and of course he will not intercept the memorial.
Only when the emperor's father was handling political affairs can he take Li Zhiyun to meet him successfully. If he missed today, it would be hard to say when the next time. If the emperor suddenly couldn't come up one day and the prince directly succeeded to the throne, all his dreams would be shattered.
"Do I have any choice?" Li Zhiyun could only smile bitterly. When he came to Yang Guang's home, he saw that Yang Su and Yu Wencheng, Yin Shishishi and Yu Wen Chengdu were all there. If he refused to accept Yang Guang's "good intention", then the other party would likely take extreme measures. He would not be able to fight!
Although he received one-third of the internal strength of Kunlun slaves, and although he practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique to the eleventh level, and even with one knife, he did not expand to the point of being the only one.
He knew very well that his strength was still different from those of Yinshi Master and Yuwen Chengdu. Not to mention anything else, he was much worse than his internal strength. Even the Golden Wheel Dharma King during the rise of Mongolia could not rank among the top ten in the martial arts world in the Sui Dynasty.
"You have no choice." Yu Wenhua and the other person answered in a slight manner. "I won't talk about what you sold fake secrets to me. As long as you can do your business for His Highness King Jin, my Yuwen family will be able to keep it aside. If there is a word of no word, I will settle the old accounts with you now!"
Yuwen Chengdu didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Zhiyun with a angrily brow. His father was not in the spot, but as long as he started, he would be the first to go up and beat this little liar to death.
"Okay..." Li Zhiyun had no choice. Even if he was a time traveler, he had no choice but to do anything in this situation, let alone even if he could beat the other party, he could not beat him. He Gu was implicated by this? "But what is His Highness Jin going to let me do?"
Yang Guang smiled and said, "You are indeed a smart person. We smart people will not be false. First, you must go to the palace with me to meet the emperor. Then I will recommend you to enter the Eastern Palace to be a prince's tutor. The emperor has this intention long ago and will not reject it."
"Well...and what?" Li Zhiyun asked again.
Yang Guang's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent: "Then I will give you a chance and reason to kill the prince!"
Li Zhiyun had expected this and nodded to show that she understood.
He really understood - Yang Guang was not satisfied with using the death of protecting his son to bring down his father Li Yuan, but instead used a trick of killing two birds with one stone. After he killed the crown prince, his father and son would naturally be charged with murdering the crown prince, and Yang Guang naturally succeeded him as the crown prince.
It is indeed a reason to kill the prince, otherwise Yang Guang, who recommended himself to enter the Eastern Palace, would be blamed, so he asked, "What's the reason?"
Since everyone opened the skylight and said something bright, Yang Guang did not hide it. He pointed at Yu Shang, who was standing beside Li Zhiyun, and said, "Your wife will become the teacher of the prince's daughters, but the prince is also romantic. Hehe, can you finish your words with me?"
Yang Guang's plan was very careful. He had already given Yinshi Master a pack of Yin-Yang Hehe San in advance, and told him to find the right time to mix into the prince's meal. Yinshi Master is the prince's martial arts master. It was too easy for him to drug the prince. As long as the prince took medicine, Yushang would appear in front of the prince at the right time.
The timely meaning is that even if the prince doesn't go to find Yu Shang, Yu Shang will go to find the prince. With Yu Shang's beauty, even if the prince is not drugged, he will not be able to be moved, let alone the overbearing yin and yang that are unifying? As long as the prince starts to "make trouble", Li Zhiyun will appear in accordance with the situation.
The prince wants to go to your wife in front of you, are you willing? So isn’t it reasonable to kill the prince?
Not only do we need to kill the prince, but we also need witnesses. Extras such as eunuchs and palace maids are necessary.
"What about killing the prince? What should I do?" Li Zhiyun asked knowingly.
He knew that Yang Guang had already decided to cook the rabbit and die. He killed the prince. Even if the prince violated the prince first, he would have to bear the consequences. The consequence was death. Not only would he die, but his father could not escape. If Yang Guang had not planned like this, wouldn't it be more reasonable to let Yu Shang kill the prince directly?
Of course, Yang Guang would not be so real, and said with a smile: "I will arrange a way out for you, just escape by robbing you." At this point, he gave Master Yin Shi a wink, "Did you think it's, Taifu Yin?"
Master Yin Shi nodded slightly and said, "Everything is based on your Highness's arrangement."
...
At the same time, in Daxing Palace in Daxing City, Emperor Yang Jian was expressing dissatisfaction with Gao Yang, "Can you understand it? Is this letter so difficult to understand?"
Gao Bing was the prime minister of the dynasty and can be said to be the most knowledgeable civil servant in the court today. As early as when Yang Jian was the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he followed Yang Jian to make suggestions, equivalent to Yang Jian's secretary. Later, he made great contributions in the process of Yang Jian's unified emperorship, and could be regarded as Yang Jian's right-hand man.
The law of the Sui Dynasty, "Kaihuang Law", was formulated by Gaoyang, which shows how high its status and how profound its knowledge are.
However, such a well-informed prime minister couldn't understand a letter from Wu Kui's memorial. Not to mention that the emperor was very dissatisfied, even he was sweating profusely. Who was the person who wrote the letter? It was simply nonsense! Isn't it good to use Chinese characters like this?
This letter was an attachment to the memorial sent by Wu Kui, the governor of Youzhou. According to the memorial in Wu Kui, the letter was written by the Goguryeo to Luo Yi, the king of Peking. It was intercepted by Wu Kui's orders. The sender resisted stubbornly and refused to be bound and died in a fight. Therefore, the letter became the only evidence to accuse Luo Yi.
The order to secretly monitor and investigate Luo Yi was issued by Yang Jian to Wu Kui. The reason for this imperial edict was that a war occurred in the first half of this year. At that time, the Goguryeo army attacked Yingzhou, an important area of the border of the Great Sui Dynasty. Yingzhou Governor Wei Chong led his troops to fight to the death for more than a month, and Goguryeo failed to fight below for a long time before retreating.
During the war, Wei Chong sent people to Youzhou for help, but Luo Yi, who was in charge of the Youzhou army, refused to send troops on the grounds of resisting the Turks in the north. Wei Chong and the soldiers and civilians in Yingzhou complained about this. Wei Chong even went to Chang'an with a memorial and participated in Luo Yi's book.
Luo Yi was a surrendered general from the Northern Qi Dynasty in the past, but he was not defeated and surrendered. Yang Lin, the king of the past, led the Sui army to attack Youzhou. He fought for many days without any decision. Finally, Yang Lin proposed to make peace. The condition was that as long as you, Luo Yi, surrendered to the Great Sui Dynasty, everything else was easy to discuss. Yang Jian also agreed, because the Southern Chen was still not destroyed at that time.
In the end, the two sides agreed to peace. Luo Yi was granted the title of King of Peiping and led his original team to station in Youzhou. He listened to the tune and did not listen to Xuan. The meaning of listening to the tune and did not listen to Xuan was roughly that if an enemy army attacked Youzhou, Luo Yi naturally had the obligation to lead the army to resist or counterattack, but if he was asked to lead his troops to fight elsewhere, it would be up to him to see if he was willing.
However, in this war in Goguryeo attacking Yingzhou, Luo Yi's performance was too unreasonable.
Yingzhou (now Yingkou) is already the last city at the eastern gate of the Great Sui Dynasty. Xuantu County (which can be understood as most of Liaoning including today's Chenyang) and Lelang County (which can be understood as most of Jilin including today's Changchun) established during the Han Dynasty were all occupied by Goguryeo.
If Yingzhou is in a fall, Goguryeo's military attack will point directly to Youzhou. Do you, Luo Yi, even understand the principle that your lips are dead and your teeth are cold?
Yang Jian did not think that Luo Yi was so stupid. There must be another reason for not moving his troops. Therefore, he issued an order to ask Wu Kui to investigate secretly, which led to the secret letter Gao Gong was holding at this time.
However, no one can understand this secret letter. Not only Wu Kui can't understand, but Yang Guang, who has passed the memorial, can't understand it, but even Prime Minister Gao, who is the most knowledgeable, can't understand it. How to accuse Luo Yi?
If Luo Yi's position in the relationship between the two countries is not clear, he cannot send troops to conquer Goguryeo. He can't fight to the death, and behind him is a large army of Peking that may surrender to the enemy at any time, right?
Gao Bing actually wanted to say that Li Delin, the Duke of Anping County in the court, was the most well-read and well-educated. Maybe he could understand it, but because his surname was Li, he demoted him to Huzhou. What can I do?
When the king and his ministers were depressed, they suddenly heard from the officials that the queen had come with the Duke of Tang.
When he heard that the queen had arrived, Yang Jian put the memorial on the table and stood up to greet him. He had respect for this long-standing wife beyond this era. On the other hand, Empress Dugu had a huge influence on him. Needless to say, the trivial matters of the family were, even if it was appointing and dismissing ministers or even military and national affairs, he often followed the queen's advice.
"Why did the Queen come here?"
If Dugu Jialuo was the only one who came, he would not have asked this sentence, but at this time Li Yuan was following the queen, and the question was actually Li Yuan.
Queen Dugu smiled slightly and turned to the side, meaning to give the power of answering to Li Yuan. Li Yuan immediately opened the right path: "Your Majesty, I am not able to withstand the rumors in the market, so I will resign..."
Yang Jian didn't look at Li Yuan, but looked at the queen, meaning that your nephew was going to resign. What did you say, the concubine? I have to listen to what you said before making a decision.
Even though he wanted to kill or drive all the ones named Li out of Chang'an, he did not attack Li Yuan. On the one hand, it was because Li Yuan was self-disciplined and had no major problems to be caught. On the other hand, it was the most important thing, which was to hinder the queen's face and could not touch Li Yuan without his wife's consent, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.
Of course, Li Yuan had already done the work of Dugu Jialuo, so Dugu Jialuo replied: "Since this rumors are so vicious, let him go, but he can't be demoted to a commoner. My meaning is to let him go to Taiyuan as a left-behind, which is close to his hometown."
"Well..." Since my wife has already decided, Yang Jian will certainly not reject it, but the emperor still has to put on his airs, so he has to pretend to be memorable, which means that the proposal proposed by the queen must be considered by me.
While pondering, I suddenly heard the doorman outside report: "Your Highness of King Jin, Duke of Yue Yang Su, Yu Wenhua and his request to see the emperor..."
Li Yuan was so scared that he was so scared that he was afraid of what he was. Why was Yang Guang so gloomy? He even came in groups, and it was so troublesome now.
Before Yang Jian could speak, Dugu Jialuo had already smiled and said, "It's such a coincidence today. Why did Ah Ri (Yang Guang's nickname, pronunciation: chang, a sound) come too? Let him in quickly."
Dugu Jialuo liked this second son more and more. Because the last time the prince was drunk and accidentally entered Xiao Meiniang's bathroom, Xiao Meiniang went to the palace to cry and said this: Yang Guang only knew how to work hard on the court for his father, which made her stay alone in the empty room all year round.
Dugu Jialuo likes men, which is called having a serious matter. What's the point of being around the princess all day long like the prince? There is no benefit except for having children one nest after another.
Under the influence of the wind beside the pillow, Yang Jian's impression of his second son was getting better and better. However, when he heard him and Yang Suyu Wenhua and his colleagues, he felt a little strange. Is there something big to report? He immediately agreed with the queen and asked them to come in.
Yang Guang walked in happily and immediately greeted his parents intimately. At the same time, he did not forget to greet Gao Yan and Li Yuan. He did not show any of the emperor's own son's score, as if he was the most humble person in this palace.
Yang Jian's eyes passed by Yu Wenhua and Yang Su behind Yang Guang. Looking at the thin boy and a beautiful young woman in green, the queen was beside him. His eyes did not stop on the young woman, but only stared at the boy.
The boy was dressed very strangely, wearing a hat that almost covered his entire forehead and eyebrows, and his eyes were under the hat. He asked, "Who is this child?"
Yang Guang quickly bowed and replied, "Brother, this is Li Zhiyun, the fourth son of Duke Tang you were going to summon a few days ago. Today, Erchen brought him. This is his newlywed wife Yu Shang, and Erchen's adopted daughter."
Li Zhiyun and Yu Shang immediately stepped forward to salute the emperor and empress, saying that they were going forward. In fact, they were still three feet away from the emperor and empress. Only Yang Guang could surpass this distance, and even Li Yuan and Gao Bing could not pass it.
