Chapter 60 Rebels arose

Seeing Yuwen Sheng rushing towards him with a short blade, Yang Jian's eyes flashed with a shiny light, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in his heart: "It's really you guys who are doing it."

When Yuwen Sheng saw that Yang Jian did not dodge or dodge, he couldn't help but feel strange. Before he could think about it, he was about to stab Yang Jian, and a loud shout came from beside him: "Thief, don't hurt the Prime Minister."

As soon as the words fell, the whistle whistle of the sword tip cutting through the air had reached Yuwen Sheng's ears. If he didn't hide, he would definitely hit the sword before Yang Jian. Yuwen Sheng was furious with a thief scolding. He instinctively wanted to avoid it, but just gritted his teeth and ignored the long sword attacking on the flanks, the short blade continued to stab Yang Jian.

Yang Jian's face finally did not have the same calmness as before. He reacted very quickly and took a step forward. He heard a sound of cracking silk. Yang Jian's clothes on his chest were cut by a sharp short blade, but his skin was not scratched at all. Almost as soon as Yuwen Sheng's short blade hit Yang Jian's clothes, a stinging pain came from Yuwen Sheng's slit. He himself had hit the sword of the guard beside Yang Jian.

Seeing that the Prime Minister's clothes were cut open and he didn't know if they were injured, Li Yuantong was furious. He didn't bother to pull out the long sword that pierced Yuwen Sheng's body and directly hit Yuwen Sheng. Yuwen Sheng endured the pain and was about to continue chasing Yang Jian, but before he could take a step, a powerful force came to the left. He couldn't help but flew into the air, and with a bang, he fell heavily to the ground.

As soon as Yuwen Sheng landed, he wanted to struggle to get up, but he felt as if his whole body was out of strength. His whole body on the left was numb. He took a breath of cold air. Where did Yang Jian find such a powerful guard? When he hit him just now, his ribs might have been broken several times.

Yuwenda was stabbed by Li Yuantong and forced her to retreat to the side. Seeing this big black man turn to deal with his tenth brother again, a wave of despised anger surged. The short blade in his hand pointed hard at Li Yuantong's back, but his eyes were blurred, but it stabbed a hole. Li Yuantong had already moved his body and crashed into Yuwensheng. Seeing Yuwensheng fall to the side, Li Yuantong turned around suddenly, Yuwenda's body was approaching him, and the long sword swept through Yuwenda's throat.

Yuwenda covered his throat, and blood gushed out. His eyes gradually dissipated. His eyes flew past Yang Jian and Yu Wen Sheng who was lying on the ground. A last trace of consciousness flashed through: We have failed, Brother Ninth and Thirteenth Brother, I hope you can get rid of Yang Jian, the traitor, and protect my Yuwen family.

"Protect the Prime Minister and protect the Prime Minister." At this time, the guards on the periphery separated the crowd and came to Yang Jian, surrounding Yang Jian into an iron barrel. A team of soldiers were also assigned to rescue Yuan Zhou.

Yuan Zhou dealt with four assassins alone, but he was injured by dozens of injuries on his body, but he stopped the assassins from coming to Yang Jian. In the eyes of the assassins, Yuan Zhou was like an indestructible monster. The four assassins became more and more panicked. When they saw the guards behind rushed up, they were even more anxious. Two people turned around and wanted to escape backwards, but Yuan Zhou seized the opportunity to kill one of them.

The other three people no longer cared about the fight and wanted to squeeze into the crowd in panic, but they saw that they were surrounded by the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The three people looked helplessly and had to raise their swords to commit suicide. The three bodies fell to the ground with a slam.

At this point, the assassins had been caught in one go. The King of Dai and the four assassins all died. Only King Yuwen Sheng of Yue lay on the ground and made a slight moan.

Yang Yong was waiting for Yang Jian to return in the hall depressedly. After reciting the poem, he saw Yuan Qing'er's face. After waiting for a long time, the sound of an assassin came from outside the hall. Yang Yong was shocked and did not care about the wedding and ran out. However, like those guards, he was blocked by the frightened officials. When he finally squeezed in, the assassination was over.

Seeing that Yang Jian was surrounded by guards, Yang Yong breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed towards Yang Jian. When the guard saw that it was Yang Yong, he gave up a small path. Yang Yong came to Yang Jian's side. Yang Jian's front cloak was broken and asked in surprise: "Sir, can you be injured?"

Yang Jian saw that his son's new clothes were already covered with stains. He knew that his son cared about him, but he felt a warm feeling, but he raised his face and said, "You are the groom's house, why are you here to do? Go back to the hall quickly."

"How can the child ignore his father when he was attacked?" Of course, Yang Yong refused to return to the hall at this time, otherwise he would have forgotten his wife after marrying him.

Several guards carried Yuan Zhou over. He was too seriously injured. Seeing that the assassin had committed suicide, he fainted after not long after waiting. Seeing Yuan Zhou covered in blood, Yang Jian's face flashed with anger: "Come here, send people immediately to surround King Yue, King Dai, King Chen, and Prince Teng's mansion. Do not let anyone go. If there is any resistance, the matter of killing is to be judged."

"Abide by the order." Several generals of the masters answered loudly, and in a short while, more than a thousand soldiers were gathered and rushed outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Yuan Zhou was carried down to treat the wounds. Five officials present were killed on the spot, but countless injured people were injured. Several were injured by assassins, while the rest were trampled on each other in chaos. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion was full of guests and lively. In the blink of an eye, it was a mess. There were overturned tables everywhere and food was spilled all over the ground. Some injured officials were still lying on the ground, groaning from time to time. The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly rescued them.

Hearing that Yang Jian was going to send troops to surround various royal palaces, Li Delin finally squeezed to Yang Jian to dissuade him: "The Prime Minister cannot be used. The four kings are still the only remaining son of Taizu. They have a great relationship and cannot be killed."

Yang Jian glanced at the corpse of Dai Wang on the ground, thinking that killing one is to kill, and killing four is to kill. Today, since the two dared to assassinate themselves openly, keeping the other two is also harmful. He ignored Li Delin's words and turned around and said to the officials in the courtyard who were still panicked: "Today, everyone testified, it's not that Gu is sorry to the Yuwen family, but the Yuwen brothers are determined to harm Gu, and Gu has to fight back."

Since the trouble was so great that the two princes wanted to assassinate the prime minister themselves, everyone knew that the conflict between the prime minister and the royal family could no longer be reconciled. This matter is not without precedent. As the emperor, Yuwen Yong even killed the powerful minister Yuwen Hu himself. What's more, Yuwen Sheng and Yuwen Da are just princes. The difference is that Yuwen Yong succeeded, while Yuwen Sheng and Yuwen Da failed.

Since Yuwen's failure, he should naturally pay the price. Everyone bowed to Yang Jian: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we all support Prime Minister, Yuwen Sheng and Yuwen Da's rebellion, the evidence is conclusive, so we should kill."

Some people also said: "The Prime Minister, as well as King Chen and King Teng, they cannot be without participation. The Prime Minister should have beaten them all in one place."

"Yes, yes." All the ministers responded enthusiastically, competing to express their loyalty to Yang Jian. Although some people thought to themselves, Yuwen is the royal family, and you, Pu Liurujian, want to kill all the royal family. You should be the one who rebelled, but who dares to say this.

Seeing that Yang Jian could not speak, Li Delin had to sigh inwardly. Before Yang Jian could immediately order the princes to be killed on the spot, he could only wait a few days to see if he could persuade Yang Jian again.

After showing his loyalty, all the officials began to disperse. What happened today was too thrilling and no one had the intention to attend the next wedding. Yang Yong's wedding could only end hastily.

The daytime noise had passed, and the assassination seemed to be gone. The four thick candles lit in the room made a sound of beating and peeling from time to time. Yuan Qing'er sat in front of the edge of the bed, feeling a thumping sound in her heart, as if her whole heart was about to jump out.

Although there was still a hint of regret in the wedding during the day and the last procedure was not completed, Yuan Qing'er's heart was still full of sweetness. From today on, she will be his wife.

The door was opened with a "creaking" sound. Yuan Qing'er's little hand tightly twisted the corner of the quilt, lowered her head and did not dare to look forward, but just secretly counted Yang Yong's footsteps.

The footsteps stopped in front of Yuan Qing'er, and a light round fan was gently handed to Yuan Qing'er's hand. Yang Yong's voice came: "Qing'er, hold it and cover his face."

Yuan Qing'er picked up the small round fan and looked at her husband with courage. She saw that Yang Yong had already changed into a new red dress, with fluttering clothes and a smile on her face. She was a bit elegant in her heroic spirit. She suddenly shyly covered her face with the round fan, so that Yang Yong would not see her pretty red face.

Yang Yong's clear voice came: "There are tricks on the clouds, the flying stars convey hatred, and the silver man is far away from each other. When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless people in the world.

Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, I can’t bear to look at the road back from the magpie bridge. If the love lasts for a long time, how can it be with you day and night?"

When Yang Yong thought that when the golden wind and jade dew met, he was defeated by countless people in the world, Yuan Qing'er was surprised to remove the fan. Is there a girl who didn't want her husband to be both civil and military? It was just that the rumor that Yang Yong did not like poetry and books Yuan Qing'er had already heard of it, and he couldn't help but feel regretful. As soon as he read this poem, Yuan Qing'er suddenly opened her surprised eyes and looked at Yang Yong: "Is this what you wrote?"

She read all kinds of poems. If such beautiful words were written by her predecessors, she believed that she would be famous all over the world. Yang Yong held her soft pancreas and smiled slightly: "Is it so nice?"

Yuan Qing'er nodded desperately: "It's so beautiful to write."

"Then our wedding is finished?"

Only then did Yuan Qing'er realize that her hands were being held by her husband. Her body became soft and she poured into Yang Yong's arms, making a kitten-like huh.

The candlelight in the room shines, reflecting the red faces of the two people in the room, tenderness is like water, and good times are like dreams. Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless people in the world.

Wei Xiaokuan and Li Mu finally replied to the court. Wei Xiaokuan received the imperial edict from the court and gave up the position of Xuzhou General Manager and only brought a hundred guards to Xiangzhou to take office. However, the chief manager of Xiangzhou General Manager Yuchi Jiong refused to accept power. Not only did he detain the envoy sent by Wei Xiaokuan first, but he also sent troops to capture Wei Xiaokuan. Wei Xiaokuan got the news in advance and had to escape from Xiangzhou and was currently on his way back to the capital.

Li Mu sent his son Li Hun to the capital again and presented a thirteen-ring golden belt to Yang Jian. This golden belt was given to Li Mu by Emperor Wu of Zhou for his merits. Only the emperor could use it. The Li family got this golden belt and could only be placed on a divine case for worship. Now Li Mu presented the golden belt, which undoubtedly supported Yang Jian's claim to be emperor.

After receiving the reply from the two, Yang Jian was immediately overjoyed and killed all the imprisoned King Chen, King Teng, King Yue, and their children without any scruples.

The news of the four kings being killed reached Xiangzhou. Yuchi Jiong immediately raised the flag of rebellion. He sent troops to Xiangyang, using the eldest son whom King Zhao was the emperor, accusing Yang Jian of killing the prince, who was ruthless and quickly siege the city and plundering the land.

The rebellion flag was raised by Yuchi Jiong, and the Yizhou general manager Wang Qian immediately responded in Bashu. After following Wang Qian, the Yunzhou general manager Sima Xiaonan also rebelled and led the land of Jiuzhou to surrender to Yuchi Jiong. The total number of rebels was nearly 500,000. Among them, Yuchi Jiong had eleven states east of Taihang Mountain with more than 200,000 troops; his nephew Yuchi Qin had six states including Qing and Yan, with about 600,000 troops; Sima Xiaonan had nine states north of Jiangbei, with about 110,000 troops; Wang Qian, the general manager of Yizhou general manager, had about 90,000 troops. These four rebels not only had strong troops, but also controlled almost one-third of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and were very powerful.

At this time, both Wei Xiaokuan and Su Wei had arrived in the capital. Yang Jian appointed Su Wei as the inner historian of the Prime Minister's Office and implemented the equal-field system that started from Emperor Wu. The equal-field system had made great efforts to merge with Emperor Wu. After Emperor Wu's death, the equal-field system was destroyed again. The nobles and powerful tyrants arbitrarily occupied the land of the people, forcing barren land to exchange for fertile and beautiful fields, which were full of disadvantages and the people were living in poverty. Yang Jian ordered the re-examination of the equal-field system. Those who cheated would be dispensed with all their own land, so that farmers and soldiers could support the court.

Wei Xiaokuan had great achievements in combat. When he arrived in Chang'an, Yang Jian personally lowered the steps to welcome him and set up a banquet to welcome him. The next day, Wei Xiaokuan was appointed as the marshal of the East Road, Li Xun was appointed as the chief of the marshal's office, and Liang Shiyan, Yuanxie, Yuwenxin, Yuwenshu, Cui Hongdu, Yang Su, Li Xun and others were appointed as the general managers of the marshal. He attacked the entire line and attacked Yuchi Jiong.

Yang Jian once sent Liang Rui to replace Wang Qian, but before he arrived, Wang Qian had rebelled and had already lifted the flag. Liang Rui was blocked in Hanzhong. Yang Jian also appointed Liang Rui as the marshal of the West Road, leading four marshals including Yu Yi and others to attack Wang Qian in Sichuan; Wang Yi was appointed as the marshal of the South Road, and led four marshals including Li Xiong to attack Sima, Jiangbei.
