Chapter 44 The Great Prime Minister
When the ministers came to plead with each other just now, Yang Jian had already confirmed that the emperor's sudden outbreak was a conspiracy. Who was dealing with him? Yang Jian couldn't help but think hard in his heart.
"Suigong, I just checked it. The news that Empress Tianyuan was going to be sentenced to death by the emperor was first reported by Jingzhao Chenggong." Yang Su did not go back with other court officials, but stayed. When he received the news that the court officials asked Qi to plead with the emperor, he felt that it was inappropriate. He immediately became more careful and asked the ministers where the news came from. Fortunately, he had investigated it early, otherwise the court officials would not be able to find out again.
Yang Su was born in the Yang family in Huayin, Hongnong. The Yang family of Hongnong was a famous prominent family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. After Yang Jian's father Yang Zhong became famous, he recognized his ancestors and followed his ancestors and appointed himself to the Yang family of Hongnong. The Yang family of Hongnong also needed Yang Zhong to strengthen himself, so he recognized this relative.
What Yang Jian said in the palace that Yang Hui was disagreeing with him was nothing. Yang Jian grew up alone in a nunnery in his early years. After Yang Zhong took him back, he was already thirteen years old. Yang Hui was very dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of his elder brother who inherited his father's title. Later, he relied on his marriage to Princess Shunyang and did not have much respect for this elder brother, which caused trouble to the society. Yang Jian and Yang Su were more close to each other than Yang Hui's relationship, and more like brothers.
Yang Jian snorted: "Jing Zhaocheng, how bold is he?"
Since the former Jingzhao Cheng Le Yun was executed by Emperor Tianyuan, the successor Jingzhao Cheng has not had the character of his predecessor. He is a fence-bearer, who has a strong power and whoever is leaning on him. Unexpectedly, he dared to use yin energy on himself this time. Yang Jian didn't believe that he had such courage.
Yang Su also knew that Jingzhaocheng had no courage to deal with Yang Jian, but only had one more clue: "Suigong, since King Zhao entered Beijing, Chang'an has been surging recently."
"Chudao, thank you for your trouble. I will definitely find out the person behind this." Yang Jian said fiercely. Seeing his wife still exploding in the scorching sun in the distance, Yang Jian felt indescribable anger.
More than an hour passed. Emperor Tianyuan and Zheng Yi had played four games. The two sides had a draw and began the decisive game of the fifth set. In this game, Zheng Yi was in a state of state and became more and more clumsy. Emperor Tianyuan was invincible all the way, and Zheng Yi's big dragon was about to be slaughtered by the emperor.
Tianyang had passed the hottest noon, and Weishi slowly turned to Shenshi, but its calories remained unabated, and ants could still be killed outside. Dugu still knelt on the bluestone slab, and she felt that her knees had been roasted.
A dark cloud gradually rose in the distance, and several thunder sounds came. The old eunuch suddenly muttered to himself: "There is no rain in Guanzhong for a long time, so why does it suddenly thunder? Is the civilian woman exposed to the sun outside asking for rain?"
Emperor Tianyuan looked up at the sky outside the door, with a few surprises on his face and said casually: "If she asks for rain, I will forgive the world."
The old eunuch hurried out and returned in a short while: "Strange, strange, the dark clouds have covered the poisonous day. The civilian woman no longer has to be sunk by the explosion day, so she is about to fall down."
Zheng Yi's big dragon was finally slaughtered by the emperor. Emperor Tianyuan happily put down the chess piece. There was already lightning and thunder outside, and it was really raining.
Zheng Yi whispered: "God's will is unpredictable. It seems that God is indeed sympathetic to the civilian woman."
Emperor Tianyuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: "Go out and take a look."
Zheng Yi hurriedly followed the emperor with the old eunuch and came to the palace gate. Sure enough, he saw a man lying in the water, unable to tell his face. Through the *, his hands and feet were squirming, and he didn't know whether it was death or life.
Emperor Tianyuan suddenly felt unbearable and said to Changsun Sheng who was standing under the eaves of the palace: "Go and help her to meet my Tianzun."
Changsun Sheng hurriedly entered the rain and helped Dugu up. However, Dugu thumped and still knelt on the ground, allowing the wind and rain to blow. Changsun Sheng had to run back and report to Emperor Tianyuan: "The civilian woman said that her mother and daughter were guilty and had no face to see the Heavenly Lord."
"They are innocent."
Changsun Sheng went out to support him again in the rain, but Dugu refused to support him. She struggled to support him in the rain, climbed to the front of the steps step by step, and then kowtowed one by one: "I have no way to teach my daughter, and I deserve to die for all my sins! Thanks to the forgiveness of the Heavenly Lord, I will be punished as a dog and a horse." After that, the man suddenly fell back and fainted.
Emperor Tianyuan was very anxious and wanted to reach out to help him, but when he saw Dugu's body covered in mud, he immediately shrank his hand and shouted, "Come on, come here, please come out."
The old eunuch asked blankly: "Which queen?"
The emperor cursed: "A idiot, of course, the great empress Tianyuan."
Yang Lihua stumbled out and saw Dugu lying on the steps, she hugged and cried. Emperor Tianyuan felt a little embarrassed and comforted: "Don't worry, beloved concubine, she had to bask in the sun and was attacked by the explosion of rain again. Take your mother back to the palace and change her clean clothes. I will let the imperial doctor show her later."
Although Yang Lihua's heart was full of resentment at this time, she was the emperor. No matter what she did, she still only helped Dugu down after thanking her.
Looking at the backs of the two, Emperor Tianyuan had a rare feeling of shame in his eyes. Although he let Yang Jian go today, he did not fully believe Yang Jian's words. Now that he saw a day passed, there was not even a person who begged for mercy except Dugu himself, and finally believed that Yang Jian did not form a clique.
Dugu woke up after being supported by Yang Lihua. She ignored the heavy rain and insisted on going home in the rain in the rain. Today, her experience of moxibustion and roasting under the sun made her unwilling to stay in the palace for a moment.
After the next day, Emperor Tianyuan seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday, and still remained calm in the harem every day, playing the Wumu drama with the empress and concubines.
Yang Jian's revenge for the Yuchi family came soon. Both Yuchi Yun and Yuchi Shun were transferred out of the capital, and the Yuchi family's White Tiger Army was also sent to the front line of opposing the Southern Dynasty. Although the Duke of Shu was still there, no one in the Yuchi family who could control the overall situation alone was in the capital, which was equivalent to completely staying away from power and loyalty.
In fact, if it weren't for Yuchi Yun, Yuchi Shun and the others who were extravagant and incited the court officials to plead with the emperor, Yang Jian might not have discovered the hostility of the Yuchi family towards him in a short period of time. After all, Yang Jian had not offended the Yuchi family. Although he robbed the Daqian Ning position that should belong to Yuchi Jiong, the two families still had a relative relationship.
If the Yuchi family could tolerate it and delay it until after Emperor Tianyuan’s death, the Yuchi family would attack Yang Jian again. Since the Yuchi family had the card King Zhao, it is very likely that the Yuchi family would have the upper hand in all respects.
Yang Jian secretly thanked that Yuchi Jiong was not in the capital. If Yuchi Jiong was there, it would be difficult to deal with it. Yuchi Yun and Yuchi Shun were still a little different.
The marriage between the Qianjin Princess and the Turks is scheduled to be in May. Although the King of Zhao can stay temporarily, the King of Zhao must leave Beijing as soon as the Princess of Qianjin gets married. Without the Yuchi family to compete with him, Yang Jian believes that a mere King of Zhao cannot cause storms in the capital in the short term.
However, Emperor Tianyuan's body collapsed much faster than expected. It was just May, and before he could send the daughter of Princess out of Chang'an, Emperor Tianyuan was already ill. The sick Emperor Tianyuan cried like a child, regretting that he had not listened to Yang Lihua and took care of his body.
Emperor Tianyuan's illness developed too fast. He fell ill on the first day and was completely dying the next day. Zheng Yi and Liu Fang promptly blocked the news that Emperor Tianyuan was seriously ill and only called it a minor illness. The emperor temporarily needed to rest. No one except Da Qian Ning and several doctors from the Inner Historians.
The next day, Zheng Yi and Liu Fang jointly found Yang Jian and entered the palace together to discuss the candidate for the rule after the emperor left. Yang Jian did not take it as hesitant. Instead, he was extremely hesitant. Emperor Tianyuan was sick too early and many preparations were not done well. Yang Jian thought that he would have at least several months, but he did not expect to give him only more than twenty days.
Although the Yuchi family's power in the capital is now empty, King Zhao has been sent by Yang Jian to monitor it day and night, most of the imperial guards will be inclined to him. However, Yang Jian did not have time to be solid in the foundation outside the capital of Chang'an. Yang Jian has always kept a low profile. He did not cultivate many forces outside the capital. He had only been deployed for more than twenty days, so where was there time?
Now Yuchi Jiong has occupied most of the land in Northern Qi, Li Mu and Wei Xiaokuan have the remaining half, Sima Xiaonan has occupied Jiuzhou in the north of the Liang Dynasty, Bi Wang Yu and Wenxian control Guanzhong, Wang Qian controls Western Shu, and the five emperors are all fiefs of ten households. Yang Jian has only the eldest son who controls more than ten cities on the front line with the Turkic people. He rashly stands out, like an unformed chicken in an egg, eager to break out of his shell. It is probably a little bit of a bad fortune?
Yang Jian was unwilling to take charge, which was beyond the expectations of Zheng Yi and Liu Fang. If another person was replaced, whether it was the five emperor uncles or Yuchi Jiong, Sima Yingnan, Wang Qian and others, the two would immediately become rats crossing the street, and the consequences would be unimaginable. In the past two years, they had offended too many people.
Zheng Yi remembered the words of his wife Xiao, even if I only think that the queen died for two months, it is worth it. He gritted his teeth and said, "If Sui Gong is in charge of the government, we should strongly agree. If Sui Gong waits and sees, even though the ethics is not talented, he will have to make it difficult."
Zheng Yi said this, and he knew that he had no talent and virtue. Without the protection of Emperor Tianyuan, all the heroes would definitely be attacked from all directions. I am afraid that they would not be able to stand for two months. However, if others were in charge of the government, they would die immediately. Why would he die if he was addicted to death?
Zheng Yi's words forced Yang Jian to have no way out. If this is true, Yuchi Jiong, Li Mu, Sima Yingnan and the vassal kings such as King Zhao rushed forward, and Yang Jian's advantage in Chang'an no longer existed.
Seeing that Yang Jian was still hesitating, Liu Fang fell and said, "Seize the public, you must not miss the opportunity. Times will never come again. If you don't stand up, once the heroes are in power, the world will be divided, and it will be difficult to deal with it."
The two kept urging Yang Jian to make a decision, and Yang Jian sighed, "Forget it, there has never been a clear idea to win the world. It was originally a gamble of one point of hope: "You two love so much, Jian will be sorry for everyone if you wince again; but now it is a matter of trouble, I hope you will support you all in the future."
"That's certain."
"So should be like this."
Zheng Yi and Liu Fang both breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
The three of them had just made a decision and a eunuch rushed over: "Three sirs, the emperor is going to issue a will."
The three of them hurried to Emperor Tianyuan. At this time, there was only one doctor Yan Zhiyi, who was in charge of the emperor's seal. Zheng Yi and Liu Fang could not stop Yan Zhiyi from entering the palace.
Emperor Tianyuan was already dying and could barely make a sound. In order to allow the emperor to express his last words smoothly, Yan Zhiyi ordered the palace servant to bring ginseng tea to the emperor. However, after drinking the ginseng tea, the emperor not only lost his voice, but also lost his strength to shake his head.
Zheng Yi said loudly: "Tianzun, the emperor is only eight years old and needs a minister to assist in the government. If the emperor cannot speak today, I have to recite the name of a person. If Tianzun wants someone, please nod when he recites it."
Zheng Yi read out a series of long names: Yuchi Jiong, Li Mu, Sima Xiaonan, Zhao Wangzhao... Finally, he read Pu Liurujian.
The emperor had no reaction at all at this time. Just as Zheng Yi thought of Pulirujian, Liu Fang immediately said, "The emperor smiled, that's what he wants to follow the Duke."
Zheng Yi stopped reciting: "I saw it too. The emperor didn't smile at others just now. He smiled at the Duke of Sui, which means that he would follow the Duke of Sui and entrust his grandfather to his own son. He would be safer."
Yang Jian was silent all the time. Yan Zhiyi looked at Yang Jian and couldn't help but say it loudly: "I didn't see it."
Zheng Yi and Liu Fang turned a blind eye to Yan Zhiyi's words: "No need to delay, hurry up and draft the will according to the intention of the late emperor!"
Liu Fang nodded quickly: "Yes."
The imperial edict was immediately launched and the imperial edict was passed in one stroke. Yang Jian was appointed as the prime minister and the general was in charge of military affairs between China and foreign countries. The guards in the capital were also under command.
After writing, Yan Zhiyi refused to use the seal and said loudly: "Emperor Tianyuan ascended to heaven and the young lord succeeded the throne, he should be assisted by the royal family. Now King Zhao is the oldest and is in the capital. He is in the capital. He should shoulder the heavy responsibility of his relatives and virtues. You are highly favored by the previous emperor and should serve the country with all loyalty. Why do you help the magical artifacts to outsiders? Yi will never slander the emperor."
If King Zhao was asked to recruit the government, Zheng Yi and Liu Fang would probably die soon. Seeing that Yan Zhiyi was desperate, he ignored his friends for many years. Zheng and Liu held Yan Zhiyi tightly, robbed the seal from him, covered it with the will, and handed the will to Yang Jian.
