The second volume is based on the first chapter of the Zhou Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty to kill with
As the Marquis of Boping, Yang Tian also attended the funeral of Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu’s tomb was opposite the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Compared with the majestic and magnificent Mausoleum of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Emperor Wu of Zhou’s Xiaomao was like a small earth bundle, which seemed very shabby.
However, Emperor Wu advocated frugality and the scale of the tomb was personally designated by Emperor Wu. Everyone cannot blame the newly ascended Emperor Xuan of Zhou.
After the burial of Emperor Wu, Emperor Xuan began to promote his confidants to his confidants. Zheng Yiti, the senior general of Kaifu Yitong, was appointed as the chief general of the Inner History, and the attendant of the Eastern Palace. He was appointed as the chief general of the Great Commander and promoted to the Little Emperor.
In addition, his cousin Yuwenzhen was the prime minister of the Great Tomb, the head of Liewen ministers, Yuwenxian was the Grand Sima and the head of the military ministers, King Zan of the Han Dynasty, King Zhi of Qin, Duke Ji of the Kingdom Yuwenti, Duke Song of the Kingdom Yuwenshi and others also won high positions.
Most of the cousins of Emperor Xuan were around twenty years old, some were even fourteen or fifteen years old, and Qin Wang Zhi was only eleven years old. They had no experience in being an official, so they were given high positions, and the entire court suddenly seemed to be in chaos.
Although Yang Tian was only twelve years old, Emperor Xuan actually gave the position of General of Cavalry for the sake of the queen and Yang Jian, and granted the right to open the palace four years earlier than Yang Jian obtained this position.
After the arrangement was made, Emperor Xuan thought that the throne had been stable and could not wait to enjoy it. Before the mourning period passed, Emperor Xuan immediately ordered all officials to take off their mourning clothes, and both the emperor and the officials could participate in the auspicious ceremony.
This order caused an uproar in the court. Emperor Xuan's behavior was in sharp contrast with Emperor Wu's benevolence and filial piety. In the third year of Jiande, Emperor Wu of Zhou even used the Zhou Li to send a letter to his mother. The Zhou Li asked for filial piety for three years, but it was not implemented because of the opposition of the ministers. In the end, Yuwen Yong compromised and strictly followed the Zhou Li's clothing and diet, and only ate one overflowing rice (80 grams) every morning and evening. His brothers and officials had to do this before the empress dowager was buried.
On the day of the burial of Empress Dowager Chinu, the emperor walked barefoot for hundreds of miles and personally sent Empress Dowager Chinu's body from Chang'an City to Chengling to show his sorrow. After the burial of the empress dowager, Emperor Wu still mourned for three months, wore mourning clothes, and only ate one overflowing rice in the morning and evening.
Although the ministers did not require the current emperor to learn from Emperor Wu's behavior, I just finished burying myself and wanted to take off my mourning clothes for fun. This was so heartbreaking. Many people were talking about it and shook their heads and sighed at Emperor Xuan's behavior.
Jingzhao Cheng Le Yun submitted a memorial: "Your Majesty's burial of the late emperor is too fast. Now that the mourning period has not passed, I will take off my mourning clothes first. I am afraid that Your Majesty will be ridiculed by the people of the world."
When Yuwen Yun saw that he had just become emperor, someone dared to object, so he was furious and threw Le Yun's memorial to the ground and said, "I am the emperor, who dares to laugh at me?" He was going to send someone to arrest Le Yun for punishment.
Zheng Yi and Yang Jian had a classmate friendship. Emperor Xuan appointed him to a high position and appointed the government to him. On that day, he came to the Duke Sui's mansion to pay homage to Yang Jian. Yang Jian asked Yang Tian to accompany him and congratulate Zheng Yi on Gao Sheng.
Zheng Yi was about forty years old, with a white and flushed face. When he saw Yang Tian, he was amazed: "Sui Gong, I made the young master look handsome. He was already a general of the cavalry at a young age. His achievements in the future are limitless."
Of course Yang Tian had heard of Zheng Yi, but he heard it when he went to the prince's mansion to pay homage to the prince's concubine Yang Lihua. Zheng Yi would only accompany the prince to play with him and try every means to please the prince. Naturally, Yang Lihua had no good words. However, Yang Tian knew that such a villain could not afford to offend, had insufficient success, and had enough trouble, so he hurriedly saluted Zheng Yi respectfully: "I'm paying homage to Uncle Zheng."
"Okay, okay." Zheng Yi quickly touched his body, took out a pearl, and handed it to Yang Tian: "I came in a hurry today and did not prepare a gift. This pearl is only used as a meeting gift."
Yang Tian took Mingzhu over, thanked him again, and asked Zheng Yi to sit down again. Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "Sui Gong, among my classmates back then, I saw that Sui Gong was the most expensive, but now it is true."
Yang Jian knew that Zheng Yi was emphasizing him, but in fact he was complacent. He sneered and said, "Brother Zheng, although you are the general of Kaifu Yi and the senior official of the Inner History today, Jian did not dare to congratulate him."
Zheng Yi was surprised: "What do you say about Sui Gong?"
Yang Jian said: "The throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty was passed down by brothers. Now, the father passed down by sons. Emperor Wu has many brothers. Perhaps no one wants to inherit his brother's business. If one of them takes risks, Brother Zheng, as the emperor's first confidant, is the first to be the boss. So if you congratulate me, I will talk about it later."
Zheng Yi suddenly broke out in cold sweat. Six years ago, Emperor Wu had just cleaned up Yuwen Hu and was on patrol. Emperor Wu's fifth brother Wang Yuwen Zhi held that he had a high level of contribution in destroying Yuwen Hu's remnants and wanted to depose the prince to seize the inheritance rights. He lied that Emperor Wu was critically ill and led his army to attack the Eastern Palace, and almost succeeded. At that time, Yuwen Zhi's rebels suddenly blocked the Suzhang Gate of the Eastern Palace. Fortunately, Yuchi Yun's remaining guard at the Eastern Palace closed the gate in time. Until, Yuchi Yun's finger was reached through the crack of the door by the rebels with a knife and cut half of his ring finger. It can be seen that the situation was dangerous at that time.
After Suzhang Gate was closed, the rebels brought firewood and set fire to the door, trying to burn it down. Li Xun, the son of General Li Xian of the Zhu Kingdom, made a quick decision and ordered the injunction to bring firewood and set fire inside. The raging fire blocked the rebels. At that time, the prince was only fourteen years old, and Zheng Yi was with the prince. Both of them were scared to death.
Emperor Wu was fashionable in power and there were some people making up their minds, not to mention that Emperor Wu had left at this time. The new king had just stood up. Thinking of the danger that time, Zheng Yi seemed to have a raging fire in his eyes. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles in the Duke of Sui. In less than half a moment, he hurried away.
Yang Tian looked at him and praised him in his heart. Just by saying a few words just now, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty might have a bloody storm.
Zheng Yi hurried into the palace after coming out of the Duke of Sui Guo's mansion. When Emperor Xuan reads the memorial from Jingzhao Cheng Leyun, he saw Zheng Yi. Yuwen Yun was in a good mood and threw Leyun's memorial to him: "Zheng Aiqing, you are here just in time. I am about to send someone to capture Leyun, so you will have a hard time."
Zheng Yi was about to advise Yuwen Yun to prevent the affairs of several emperor uncles. Le Yun didn't take it seriously at all. He hurriedly browsed the memorial and said to the emperor: "Emperor, let it go, Le Yun is just a small Jingzhao Cheng, who has the courage to comment on the emperor's behavior. What I am worried about is that there is someone behind him."
Yuwen Yun was shocked: "Who dares to do this?"
