Chapter 56 Take risks

When Yuan Zhou brought his men to the Zhao Palace again, the servants of the Zhao Palace had not packed up their swords and King Zhao did not expect Yang Jian to send someone to return. Seeing this scene, Yuan Zhou was not polite and shouted directly: "Kill!"

The people Yuan Zhou brought were all elites from the Prime Minister's Mansion, with excellent weapons and equipment, and the number of people was several times higher. Although the servants who could be brought to the capital by King Zhao were also elite, their weapons were too far apart from the other party, and their bows and arrows were taken away. Each of them had only a single sword in their hands. Some people even had to use short blades. As soon as they came into contact, most of them were shot down by soldiers from the Prime Minister's Mansion. The others suddenly panicked and quickly found a place to hide.

After a rain of arrows, only a dozen people hugged King Zhao and temporarily fled to the reception hall. Several people quickly closed the door, but the sound of arrows "snatch, grab..." did not diminish slightly. Many arrows still shot into the room through the spaces in the windows. Several of the Zhao family soldiers were still shot to death.

"Prince, what should I do?" several servants asked anxiously.

Yuwen Zhao knew that he was no longer immune to this day, so Su Xing cursed: "Pu Liurujian, you are ambitions and killing the royal family without any chance. Sooner or later, you will be punished."

Yuan Zhou ignored King Zhao's shouts and directed several soldiers to break the door open. The door of the living room of the royal palace was made of wood, and there were many patterns carved on it, which could not withstand the collision. It was knocked open just after counting it. There were only a few tables in the hall flipped over and there were no people. It was obvious that King Zhao and others were hiding behind the table, waiting for the soldiers of the Prime Minister's Mansion to fight to the death when they came in.

Yuan Zhou was afraid that the tunnel in the room would lead to outside, so he couldn't explain to Yang Jian after leaving. As soon as the door opened, he took the lead in killing into the room. Seeing that the other party stopped shooting arrows, the remaining guards of King Zhao lifted the table and rushed towards Yuan Zhou and others in desperate situations.

After a burst of clanging weapons, King Zhao's guards fell in a pool of blood. The heroes could not resist many people. Although these guards were the most elite personnel around King Zhao, they could only face the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion that were ten times more than ten times more, and they could only regret it on the spot. Seven of the subordinates brought by Yuan Zhou also died, and more than ten others were injured. This was the only loss to attack King Zhao's mansion.

King Zhao stood aside and did not take action. Seeing his guard dead, King Zhao did not show any sadness on his face. When he died, he decided: "The prince is the prince. The prince has his own way of dying. Please give the prince a glass of poisoned wine."

Seeing that King Zhao did not run away or resist, Yuan Zhou was very convinced, but he flatly refused Yuwen Zhao's request: "King Zhao, you have no forgiven for your murder of the Prime Minister, and there is no poisonous wine. If you think we are all rough people and are afraid of insulting your body, then do it yourself."

"The sins are unforgivable, haha, the sins are unforgivable. When will it be Pu Liurujian's turn to forgive me?" King Zhao laughed wildly.

Yuan Zhou said coldly: "Prince, please don't insult the Prime Minister, otherwise don't blame me for being rude, give the prince a knife and an axe."

"He is insulting. Today he dares to kill me Yuwen Zhao. He is determined to usurp my Great Zhou Dynasty. Is he a traitor afraid that others will insult him?"

"Prince, don't forget how you got the Great Zhou Dynasty. You have to do it quickly, otherwise we will take action." Yuan Zhou finished speaking, and led his people to approach Yuwen Zhao several steps.

Yuwen Zhao remembered the eldest son of Yang Jian's guard in front of him, and was the surname of the royal family of the Great Wei Dynasty. He was immediately suffocated: "Okay, since you die today at the hands of the Yuan family, it is also considered retribution." He pulled up the long sword on his waist, wiped it on his neck, and fell to the ground with a bang.

After King Zhao died, Yuan Zhou indeed checked out the walls and the basement in the hall, which could hide hundreds of people in the basement. If King Zhao asked him to leave on excuses when he finished eating the melon, the crowd of people lying in the ambush in the basement suddenly broke out, although the guards were outside, there might not be time to rescue Yang Jian.

If Yuwen Xian's death only made the royal family uneasy, King Zhao's death was no different from a major earthquake. No matter how stupid the King of Han and King Qin were, they knew that Yang Jian had bad intentions towards the royal family, so they rushed to instigate the little emperor to recruit Yang Jian into the palace and questioned Yang Jian.

When Emperor Xuan died, King Yuwen Zan of Han moved into the palace to eat and live with the young emperor. Yang Jian did not fully grasp the military and political importance at that time. He thought he was annoying, so he asked Liu Fang to persuade Yuwen Zan: "Emperor Jing was young and could not take on important responsibilities. The late emperor had just passed away. The ministers were in panic and the political situation was still unstable. The king was the younger brother of the late emperor and went in and out with the emperor all day long, for fear of being suspected of taking the young master to take charge of the throne. The king might as well go back to the mansion first. After everything settled down, we welcomed the king into the palace and supported the emperor as the emperor. This is the perfect solution."

Yuwen Zan believed it and returned to the mansion happily. He no longer attended court. He just drank and had fun every day. Later, Zheng Yi and Liu Fang sent several beauties to the Han Palace. Yuwen Zan even believed that the ministers would support him as the emperor and ignored all political affairs. He, the right prime minister, suddenly became a decoration.

After receiving the edict from the young emperor, Yang Jian did not dare to neglect it and immediately went to the palace to pay homage to Emperor Jing Yuwen Chan. Yuwen Chan had been the emperor for two years. When Emperor Xuan was not dead, although he was in him, he was the only one who passed on the throne and did not pass on power. He lived alone in the Eastern Palace. Except for the emperor's reputation, he was no different from the prince.

After Emperor Xuan's death, although Emperor Jing moved into Tiantai Palace and became the real emperor, he was only eight years old, so what could he decide? Naturally, everything was followed by the empress dowager, Zheng Yi, Liu Fang and others. Yang Jian became the prime minister and had to be in the palace at first. After Liu Fang coaxed the King of Han back home in three words, all political affairs came from the prime minister's mansion. Except for the same behavior when he was in court, the ministers were too lazy to come to the palace.

At this time, Emperor Jing was sitting on a high imperial chair, with the lower right one being the Empress Dowager Zhu Manyue, and the lower left one being the Empress Dowager Yang Lihua. King Yuwenzan of Han and King Yuwenzhi of Qin stood on both sides, and there was no other minister in the other halls except guards.

"I will meet the emperor, Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager." Yang Jian had no choice but to hold his fists and salute. He was the prime minister and could bring his sword to the hall, so as not to kneel down.

When he saw Yang Jian, the Han Dynasty Wang Yuwen praised, and Yuwenzhi and the others immediately accused Yang Jian: "Prime Minister Zuo, are you killing King Zhao today, but you want to rebel?"

Yuwenzan is the right prime minister, Yuwenzhi is the Dazhu Kingdom, and Yang Jian has some respect for the two before he broke up: "The two princes are joking. The King of Zhao is plotting to murder the weak ministers, and the evidence is conclusive. How can we say that he is killing without permission?"

Yuwen praised: "Even if King Zhao plots to murder the Prime Minister, he should be allowed to grant an order to arrest him again. If you send troops directly like this, you are really arrogant and dismissive. What is the difference between rebellion?"

"Emperor, I am worried that King Zhao will escape, so I didn't have time to ask for an imperial edict, so I sent someone to surround the King Zhao's mansion. Unexpectedly, King Zhao was unwilling to surrender and resisted desperately, so I was accidentally injured by the soldiers. I also asked the Emperor to forgive me."

Yuwen praised, neither Yuwenzhi nor anyone who can speak or distinguish, so he could not refute Yang Jian's words, so he had to turn to the little emperor: "Emperor, Pu Liurujian has no emperor's order, and he will never let him go without him."

"This..." The little emperor became embarrassed. Although King Zhao was his uncle, he had only left the capital for several years and had no effect. He wanted to punish his grandfather who had never met many times, who was the grandfather who had decided on state affairs for him. Yu Wen Chan had no courage and could not help but turn his head to look at the Queen Mother Yang Lihua.

Although Zhu Manyue is the biological mother of Emperor Jing, Yang Lihua is the great empress. Emperor Jing was actually raised by Yang Lihua. Moreover, Zhu Manyue was born as a palace maid and had no support at home, so naturally she could not compete with Yang Lihua.

Yang Lihua also felt that it was inappropriate for her father to kill King Zhao, but she could not punish her father no matter what. So she said: "Emperor, according to the Ai family, the Prime Minister has no choice but to end this matter. I will not be an example. Prince, what do you think?"

"Okay, let's not be an example." Yuwen Chan was at the age of playfulness. How to sit on the chair, he immediately announced his retreat, jumped off the chair, and walked backwards. The two empress dowagers hurriedly followed behind.

The King of Han and King of Qin were stunned. They killed a King of Zhao just by saying nothing. They originally wanted to take the opportunity to punish Yang Jian to avoid being too arrogant, especially King of Han. Now they are still counting on Yang Jian to support him as emperor, but the little emperor left on his own. They have no power to treat Yang Jian, so they have to go to court in disappointment.

When Li Delin and Gao Bing learned that Yang Jian had killed King Zhao, they hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, Yang Jian came to the palace first, and the two of them had to wait patiently. As soon as Yang Jian returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Delin complained: "Prime Minister, why do you want to kill King Zhao? Don't you know if King Zhao will be silent anymore when he dies?"

Yang Jian was very dissatisfied with Li Delin's reproach. Although Yang Jian almost obeyed Li Delin during this period and achieved good results, Yang Jian would never think that a strategist could make a decision on behalf of the lord in everything. He asked unhappily: "The King of Zhao set up a banquet to murder orphans and kill them, which was the King of Zhao who was responsible for himself."

Li Delin fell and sighed: "Prime Minister, King Zhao is not a pity for death. But what should I do if I take the opportunity to raise an uprising in various places? Not to mention the kings in various places, the most worrying thing is the Turks. As soon as the princess of a daughter married, the court killed her father. What would the Turks think about it?"

Yang Jian simply said impatiently: "Now I've killed you, and no matter what, King Zhao can't survive. How can I deal with the aftermath? I hope the public assistant will teach me?"

Yang Jian's move was simply a rogue behavior. Li Delin realized that Yang Jian was not as generous as he had always been, but he had already boarded Yang Jian's ship and could not get off. Yang Jianyuan was not wrong. King Zhao had already killed him, so he should consider how to deal with the aftermath.

But Li Delin still doubts about Yang Jian’s intentions: “I wonder what the Cheng will do to King Chen, King Yue, King Dai and others?”

"If they are obedient and disciplined, they will naturally not touch them again."

Li Delin was quite satisfied with Yang Jian's answer. If Yang Jian didn't know how to kill him, Li Delin should consider whether he should leave: "Prime Minister, now it's better to be quiet than to move. We have done what we should do. Next, we should look at the reactions of various places, and the court will change its arrangement accordingly."

Yang Jian frowned and asked, "Is there any news from Li Mu, Wei Xiaokuan and others?"

"Return to the Prime Minister, there is no news yet, but I guess they should be on the way."

Although he was 80% sure that the two had to support him, without accurate news, Yang Jian always felt uneasy in his heart. Gao Feng said: "Prime Minister, there is a friend named Su Ming Wei, who is still a very talented man. He is willing to help the Prime Minister."

Yang Jian was overjoyed: "It's Su Wei, the son of Shangshuo."

Gao Feng replied: "It's this person."

"Quick, please feel free to ask."

Su Chuo was once the Minister of the Western Wei Dynasty. He was the founder of the military system of the Western Wei Dynasty. He also made efforts to further implement the equal-field production and made special contributions to the annexation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Su Wei inherited his father's mansion. He was famous as a young man and was also very handsome. He was known as Meiyang Gong. The powerful minister Yuwen Hu once forced his daughter to marry him, but Su Wei knew that Yuwen Hu had accused two emperors in a row, and was always unjustified and could not avoid disasters. He resolutely abandoned his official position and fled to Zhongnan Mountain alone.

Later, Yuwen Hu was executed, and Su Wei suddenly became famous and became a talented and virtuous figure. The court summoned him to be promoted to General of the Carriage, but Su Wei still did not leave the mountain. Su Wei's reputation became even more famous. Now Yang Jian was very happy to hear Su Weiken coming out to help him.

"Return to the Prime Minister, Su Wei is not in Chang'an yet, but I have summoned you and will come to see the Prime Minister in a few days."

Yang Jian could not see Su Wei immediately, and he had a little regret, but Su Wei was not in Chang'an, so he could only give up temporarily.

When King Chen, King Yue and four others learned that King Zhao was killed by Yang Jian, they gritted their teeth with hatred. They did not go to the emperor to cry, because they knew that the military and political power of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all out of Yang Jian's hands, and even if the little emperor was moved by them, they would have no choice but to Yang Jian.

The four of them hid in the Chen palace and discussed countermeasures against Yang Jian. The youngest King Teng was the most intense: "Three brothers, now Yang Jian's ambition has been revealed. We can no longer wait for death. The best way is to assassinate. As long as Yang Jian dies, our lives can be saved, and the country and country of the Great Zhou can be saved."

"Okay, I agree!"

“I agree!
