Chapter 6 The Sui Emperor Yang Guang
Since Yang Guang ascended the throne, he issued an order to build the Yangzhou City where he was the chief executive, and changed his official title to Jiangdu. Not only did he expand the city, but he built palaces and planted gardens, but he also built the "Ten Palaces of Shugang" such as returning geese, returning flow, and pine forests in the north of the city.
However, the most magnificent is the Linjiang Palace built on the bank of the Yangtze River. As long as Yang Guang is on a whim, he will come there to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Yangtze River no matter how early or later.
When Dugu Sheng led me and Shuanglong to visit the monarch who was the most urgent and fastest defeated in history, he was drinking and having fun at the palace platform overlooking the Yangtze River with his beloved concubines Xiao Yu and Zhu Guier, and he forgot about the ups and downs of the wars outside.
Shuanglong and I got off the car in the square, and saw that the guards were extremely strict. Dugu Sheng said "offended" and personally searched us without weapons before leading us into the palace.
Dugu Sheng led us through the corridor and the sound of the surging Yangtze River flowing, faintly mixed with the melodious sound of music coming from the continuous palaces in front.
Shuanglong was still in such a place with carved beams, painted buildings, and magnificent flowers. He was so dazzled that he was unable to show his attention and was in trouble.
Kou Zhong whispered: "This is called glory and wealth."
Dugu Sheng in front turned his head and looked at Kou Zhong coldly, but because I was by his side, I knew that the key to accomplishing things tonight was also Shuanglong, so I didn't scold him, but I still said coldly: "Brother Kou, it's better not to talk here casually, otherwise there may be a beheading."
After hearing this, I smiled coldly and didn't say anything. Kou Zhong also made a face and stretched out his tongue mischievously, obviously not taking Dugu Sheng's words to heart.
When Dugu Sheng saw this, he frowned. Although he was angry, he knew that it was not the time to turn against each other. So he suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to lead us to walk forward.
There are people standing guards everywhere in the palace. If Dugu Sheng had not led the way, even a top martial arts master would have been unable to move forward.
When Wangjiangtai was watching, an official came in front of us and intercepted us.
This person is gentle and handsome, and is in the thirty-five or six years old. According to Dugu Sheng, he turned out to be Yu Shiji, the eunuch who is one of the most favored ministers of Yang Guang.
When I saw his steps floating, I knew that not only did he not understand martial arts, but he also emptied his body because of his alcohol and sex, so he looked weak.
Logically, the eunuch should be the head of the eunuch, but this person's appearance is not as sarcastic as a real eunuch, which is difficult to explain.
Yu Shiji looked at me and Shuanglong for a few glances, and said to Dugu Sheng, "It's them." His voice was cold and he couldn't hear any emotion inside. He was obviously a person of extreme power, so how could he take us ordinary people into consideration?
Dugu Sheng nodded, probably.
I thought to myself that Yu Shiji was indeed the backbone of this plan against Yuwen Valve. It should be the other most important piece of Dugu Valve in the palace besides Fei Yun.
Yu Shiji looked at Shuanglong's eyes carefully and said, "Give me the account book first. You three will wait in the side hall. The time is up. I will take you to pay homage to the emperor."
Kou Zhong exchanged glances with Xu Ziling, and then turned his eyes to me. I stared at Yu Shiji coldly and said, "This account book is the key to the success or failure of the plan. I think Lord Yu should report to the emperor first, and then we will present it to the emperor personally, so that the emperor can feel more credible."
When Yu Shiji heard what I said, his face became dark immediately. If it weren't for the palace, he would have taken us down immediately and then found the account book and left. But now he had to suppress the resentment in his heart. He saw Dugu Sheng secretly winking at him, and he squeezed out a cold voice from his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, please come in and report later in the side hall."
Then, he nodded to Dugu Sheng, then turned around and left. Before leaving, he glared at me fiercely. But I pretended not to see it at all. I just snorted coldly.
Dugu Sheng hurriedly said, "Mr. Yu is a favorite minister of the emperor, so he can't help but speak a little stubbornly. Please don't mind Mr. Xiao Yao. All parties should put the overall situation first."
I smiled and said, "What does General Dugu say? Is he a person who does not know the priorities?"
Dugu Sheng smiled slightly before making a gesture of invitation and led us to the side hall to wait.
Not long after, Yu Shiji walked quickly and came hurriedly, with a serious expression.
Seeing this, Dugu Sheng secretly complained that something was wrong, so he quickly got up and went up to ask.
Yu Shiji gasped and said in a breath: "The big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!" After saying that, he took a few breaths. Obviously, his body was extremely weak and he had no physical strength after running a few steps.
Dugu Sheng was anxious. He knew Yu Shiji's temperament and was not convenient to investigate and ask questions. He had to wait quietly for Yu Shiji to finish his breath and recover.
Shuanglong also showed a look of surprise and worry on his face. But I was still calm and as stable as Mount Tai. My heart was so bright that I had guessed what Yu Shiji said was as anxious as he was, and he looked at everything in front of me with an expressionless face.
Yu Shiji gasped for a while before trembling, "I have just met the emperor and just wanted to report to the emperor in full, but Concubine Xiao interfered with it, interrupted me repeatedly, and ate wine and fun to the emperor, attracting the emperor's attention. He even wanted to dance to the emperor himself for the first time. The emperor was very happy and ordered me to wait two hours before meeting him."
I said to myself: As expected, haha, Yuwen is really stupid. He has not prepared it yet. I still have to use this time to arrange it.
Dugu Shengli said in a dead state: "What should I do? Xiao Jie always wants to use this opportunity to support us, give Yu Wen and time to arrange troops."
When Yu Shiji heard Dugu Sheng's words, his heart was as cold as ice water. He knew that this plan was a risk of his life and that he would be successful if he failed. At this time, he was already scared and sweated. He was a timid person who was afraid of things, but when he decided to participate in this plan, he was "persuaded" by Dugu Sheng and Feiyun.
At this moment, he was about to be implicated, so he hurriedly said to Dugu Sheng with a trembling voice: "What should I do? General..." He no longer had the appearance of full official spirit just now.
Dugu Sheng looked at him with a look and interrupted him, "Mr. Yu Wenji wants to arrange everything based on these two hours? Humph, success or failure is still unknown. Lord. Just serve the emperor with confidence."
Shuanglong and I secretly praised in our hearts. Dugu Shengzhang has the style of a general, and is calm in the face of danger and is not surprised when changes are happening. He can still be calm. Yu Shiji is far from that. The eunuch party's cholera at any time, but they are all incompetent people. They know how to be beautiful and charming the superiors and bully the subordinates. Once something happens, they are just a group of dogs at the mercy of others.
Dugu Sheng turned around, hugged us and said, "Prince Xiao Yao and the two little brothers here later. Since things have changed, I will go back and deploy corresponding countermeasures. Then I caught Yu Wenhua and abstained from guarding. Therefore, I had to lose my companionship. If there is nowhere to be done, I will toast the young master another day."
I smiled casually and said, "What is the general saying? I dare not take it as apologize. The matter is urgent, so please do it."
Dugu Sheng clasped his fists at us and turned around and left.
When Yu Shiji saw Dugu Sheng leaving, he didn't even look at us, and sighed and turned around and left. When he left, he looked nervous, his steps were even light, and his body shook slightly like a stroke.
"Hmph, such a timid and afraid of troubles is not a little bit of an official voice." Kou Zhong said unremittingly.
I said thoughtfully: "Yes, it can be seen that if the monarch is debauchery, any kind of treacherous villain in the world dares to come out and show his eyes to fool the world."
"Haha, Yu Shiji should be a capricious villain. I wonder if he will betray us?" Kou Zhong said with some concern. It's no wonder whoever is worried about seeing Yu Shiji's performance just now.
Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "The account book is still in our hands, which shows that we are still valuable. Even if he can sell us to Yu Wenhua and it will not be possible if he doesn't have an account book." Then, he paused and said, "I am not worried about the things here now. With my elder brother by my side, I always have a strong confidence that I can stay calm even if I am in a place. I am a little worried about Sister Su's safety. Xiangyushan is really a treacherous villain, and I really don't feel that Sister Su is with that bastard."
I smiled and said, "Haha, why do I think Xiaoling said this to me?"
When Xu Ziling saw me telling him his scheming, his face turned slightly red and he felt embarrassed.
At this time, Kou Zhong was a little worried when he heard Xu Ziling say this, and turned his head to look at me, and could see that he was extremely concerned about Su Su's safety.
Seeing that they were so nervous, my face was calm and I smiled mysteriously, "Haha, I'm afraid your worries are unnecessary. Haha... Xiangyushan should beg for blessings by himself. Humph, the Baling Gang and the Xiang family are waiting to be eliminated from the world!"
Shuanglong heard my words with a mysterious feeling, and his tone seemed to be Xiangyushan's plan but was plotted against others. He was puzzled and was about to ask me in detail, but saw me laughing at the two of them mysteriously, waved his hand, and sat down and closed his eyes to rest.
Shuanglong looked at each other and smiled helplessly, so he had to sit down with me.
After about an hour, Dugu Sheng had made a good arrangement and rushed to the palace. He happened to see Yu Shiji hurriedly walked out of the inner palace with a hint of joy on his face. We also stood up and greeted him.
Yu Shiji said happily: "General, good news, Sheng Shang agreed to see a few people now after the repeated requests of Concubine Zhu. Come and see the saint."
Dugu Sheng also showed joy on his face. He hurriedly led us to the palace with Yu Shiji.
"Take Xiao Yaoke, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling!"
As the doorman sang, Shuanglong and Yu Shiji, I came to the stone steps where Yang Guanglong throne was. Just as I was about to kneel three times and knock nine times, I heard an impatient voice coming from the stone steps, "I'm free, I'm free, I'm doing this all day, I have no new ideas. Dugu Qing has something to say, I'm still admiring the dance of my beloved concubine."
The voice came from Yang Guangzhi's mouth, but it was just right for me. I felt awkward when I thought of kneeling down to this foolish lord. Now I'm so relieved.
I looked up and saw that the dragon platform, which was twenty feet wide, was filled with beautiful concubines, Binji'e. There were at least fifty or sixty people, surrounded by stars like moon-like dragon throne, and was busy eating fruits from the concubine's hands.
Fei Yunmao Ran stood under the steps, and then the imperial guards surrounded the high platform, separating Yang Guang, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Under the palace lanterns, Yang Guang's face looked even worse than Xiangyu Mountain before healing, and was as pale as a dead person. He seemed to be only fifty years old, with his head high, and although he was wearing a bright nine-dragon robe and a high crown on his head, he gave people the decadent feeling of wearing a mourning dress.
