Yang Jian called his daughter Princess Lihua, pointed out that Yamazaki had been here, and asked her what Yamazaki said when they met with them.
Princess Lihua was surprised, so she told the truth, but she still brushed aside the matter of plotting to usurp the throne and just said it was an agreement.
Yang Jian was not that easy to fool. After careful interrogation, he figured out what his wife was asking about.
Usurping power, no, replacing it.
He didn't believe in the theory of merit, sin, and destiny, but not entirely.
After deliberation for a long time, I waved off my daughter. Seeing her relieved look, I felt a little unbearable.
But it was only for a moment, and it did not melt his iron heart.
…
Yamazaki felt that something was wrong with Yang Jian. After leaving the palace, he walked around the city to collect information and find out what the problem was.
Empress Yang was not sick of her body, but of her heart. She died because of her heart failure.
Because Yang Jian could no longer control himself and couldn't help but invite new people into the palace. In fact, someone was already secretly there.
Empress Yang blocked her left and right, but she couldn't stop those people from squeezing their heads into the backyard.
She was tired, fed up with the gossip outside, saying that she was a jealous woman who would not let the emperor flourish, and a poisonous woman who destroyed the foundation of the Yang Dynasty.
Yamazaki smiled bitterly, as expected, this is the right thing to do.
Therefore, Yang Jian no longer loves his wife that much, and he will not risk his life to destroy the Buddha for his wife.
Therefore, Empress Yang entered Buddhism, and Yang Jian and her could not be husband and wife, but could only be a Taoist couple.
However, Yang Jian did not destroy the Buddha and had meritorious service in Buddhism, so he was able to enter the Asura path.
The trouble is, these bad things have something to do with him, because Yang Jian has conflicts with his wife, not only emotionally, but also politically.
Empress Yang was careful to promote benevolence. Yang Jian knew it was right, but he believed that there were many things that could not be benevolent, so he could only kill one person to serve as a warning to others.
However, Empress Yang was highly virtuous and did benevolent deeds. She had many supporters in the court, which made Yang Jian difficult to cope with and sometimes he could not step down.
Yang Jian and his wife argued many times, with each winning and losing. The constant fighting naturally weakened the relationship between the couple.
Yamazaki raised his head and looked at the sky. The cause and effect could be traced to him.
In other words, if the Yang Dynasty was destroyed, he might also have to be counted as one of them.
Although he has many humane merits, he has also committed many sins over the years. If he is responsible for the dynasty change in Nanfangbuzhou, his sins will probably explode.
I just hope that this is the number of days, and with the blessing of heavenly virtue, I can hold on for a while until the monkey comes out and see what happens.
Buddhism has tricked him into suffering this time. Let's just say he can't see it. Causes and effects accumulate more and more.
…
In the 1160th year of the Linghai calendar, the Yang family's merits could no longer suppress their sins, and they began to repay the consequences.
Yang Jian fell ill, and the new crown prince and the new imperial concubine conspired to give Yang Jian some medicine, making him sick and confused, and tricked him into issuing an order to kill the former crown prince's brother.
Then, the new prince killed Yang Jian and seized the throne with a cunning edict.
Yang Jian was sixty-three years old at that time, which was the thirty-sixth year since he picked up the Xuanyuan Sword at the age of twenty-seven.
…
In terms of cause and effect, it was Yang Jian's own fault that he was deprived of his position, that is, it was his fault.
Yang Jian did implement benevolent government, was quite frugal, very diligent, and even had to do everything by himself.
But he is unkind, not tolerant, jealous, and intolerant of others.
He also likes to intervene beyond the level and check the actions of officials. When problems are picked out, there are not many people who are killed.
Officials are all in danger, and there are many cruel officials.
Good benevolent government has completely changed under the hood. What is said and what is done are completely different things. The people have difficulty in explaining and are miserable.
And the new imperial concubine was a member of the royal family whose country was overthrown, and she was sent to the palace after the country was overthrown.
Yang Jian was fascinated by her beauty, and had a heated argument with the queen because of this, which was the main reason for the queen's death.
The new imperial concubine is deliberately trying to harm the Yang family, so she can't be blamed. There is a blood feud brewing there. The country and the family hate each other. If she gets the chance, she will naturally commit suicide.
Yang Jian was tricked to death because of him.
…
When the prince ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, the first thing he does is to clean up and kill the people, causing the capital to flow into rivers of blood.
If this was not enough, he moved the capital to the east so that he could deal with his blood brothers and nephews in the frontier area, so that he could be killed and left alone, so that no one could compete with him for the throne of emperor.
Princess Lihua saw something was wrong, but she didn't dare to say anything. She had to keep her granddaughter Li Jingxun in the palace with a smile and act as a hostage with her.
During the migration, my granddaughter fell ill. When she arrived in Dongdu, she was even more dissatisfied with the climate and was dying. She was seriously ill.
Princess Lihua did not dare to say anything more, because her brother's methods were too cruel and cruel, and could even be said to be retribution.
He could only guard his frail and sick granddaughter and spend his days slowly in the palace.
It lasted four years. Seeing her nine-year-old granddaughter lying unconscious on the bed and dying, Princess Lihua was so sad that she burst into tears.
Suddenly a handkerchief was stretched out from beside me. I took it and used it before I realized that there shouldn't be anyone here, let alone a man.
While I was frightened, I suddenly realized that the clothes were commoners, and my heart skipped a beat.
Looking up, it was Yamazaki.
He was about to fall to his knees and said, "Sir, help me."
Yamazaki held on, "I know, I'm here to save you."
"Thank you sir, please do something quickly."
"There's no rush, you still need to fake death to escape."
"I see, sir, you have thought carefully."
"But she's the only one, and your karma hasn't come yet."
"Okay, I understand."
…
Yamazaki was waiting by the side, and when the little girl died, he pulled her consciousness back from the road to hell.
"grandmother?"
"My poor grandson, please thank this gentleman from the mountains."
"No, no, no, this is cause and effect. I'm here to pay off the debt. Princess Lihua goes to report her funeral. Don't waste time."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Princess Lihua went to report the funeral, and then arranged the remains, decorated the body, carried out funeral arrangements, and buried it.
…
Little Miss Li watched the entire funeral and felt it was incredible. When she returned to her body again, she had an incomparable admiration for the gentleman next to her.
Yamazaki scratched his head, things happened one after another.
He was originally related to the Yang family, but after digging holes in Buddhism, he became related to Queen Yang.
After Empress Yang became a Buddhist, the cause and effect fell on Princess Lihua.
At the same time, Queen Yang changed the prince because of his words, which can be said to have directly led to the demise of the Yang Dynasty.
Because this emperor killed too many people, he was obviously not a good emperor, and the merits of the Yang family could no longer be sustained, and the Yang dynasty would surely perish.
But the Yang family should not die, but the Yang family cannot be kept because they will be restored and proclaimed emperor.
The only exception is Princess Lihua, who was once the Queen Mother of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. No matter what, she cannot be restored.
It was only a matter of days that I happened to meet her, but her suffering was not over yet and she couldn't leave at this time.
And Li Jingxun is another woman who is not named Yang and has the blood of the Yang family. If she is a ghost, she will never be restored to the throne.
She has been living in the palace, and died in the palace at the age of nine. From then on, she entered the ghost realm, possessing the destiny of a noble person among ghosts, and perhaps the destiny of an emperor, which corresponds to the Xuanyuan Sword to ward off ghosts.
