The "Emperor Taizhu" mentioned by the ugly monk is Yang Tong, the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty and King of Yue.
Yang Zhao, the eldest son of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, was granted the title of crown prince in the first year of Daye, but died of illness a year later. Since then, Yang Zhao's eldest son, King Chen Yang You, has been accompanying Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty personally conquered Goguryeo, he ordered Yang You to stay in Chang'an.
.In the eleventh year of Daye, Yang You followed Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty to visit Jinyang and paid homage to the prefect of Taiyuan.
Soon, he guarded the capital.
Yang You did not have the name of the emperor's grandson, but he had the actual status of the emperor's grandson. The civil and military officials of the dynasty treated him with the etiquette of the emperor's prince inside and outside the court. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty never felt dissatisfied at all and acquiesced that Yang You was his.
successor.
During this period, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was not outstanding.
In the fourteenth year of Daye, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty died in the Jiangdu mutiny.
When the news reached Chang'an, Li Yuan saw that the time was ripe for proclaiming himself emperor, so he raised troops in Jinyang and invaded Chang'an. He then forced Yang You to abdicate, proclaimed himself emperor, and changed the country's name to Tang.
He demoted Yang You to the title of Duke of Wu and lived in Chang'an.
Yang You reigned for only 177 days...
In the second year of Wude, Yang You died of illness at the age of 15 and was given the posthumous title of Emperor Gong.
At the same time that Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, Yu Wenhuaji, who had hanged Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, proclaimed himself emperor in the midst of the defeat. He was named "Xu" in his founding of the country, but was eventually killed at the hands of Dou Jiande. Wang Shichong supported Yang Tong, the king of Yue, as emperor in Luoyang.
The reign name was "Huangtai", and Wang Shichong was named Zheng Guogong by the emperor Huangtai. He worked with Duan Da, Yuan Wendu and other six people to assist the government. People at the time called him the "Seven Nobles".
After defeating Li Mi, his guards in various places surrendered to Wang Shichong. Wang Shichong occupied all Li Mi's original territory, and his sphere of influence suddenly expanded from Luoyang City to the entire Henan Province. Wang Shichong also obtained Li Mi's Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin,
Luo Shixin, Pei Renji, Shan Xiongxin and other famous ministers and generals had many talents, strong soldiers and horses, and they had the momentum to unify the world and determine the world.
Wang Shichong's confidence was unprecedentedly high and he was unwilling to be inferior to others.
In April of the second year of Huangtai, Wang Shichong's generals Duan Da, Yun Dingxing and other ten people came to see Yang Tong. They said that Wang Shichong had great merits and forced Yang Tong to imitate Yao and Shun and set up Zen in Wang Shichong. Yang Tong had no choice but to set up Zen in Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong moved him
Imprisoned in Hanliang Hall.
After Wang Shichong ascended the throne as emperor, he changed the name of the country to "Zheng" and granted Yang Tong the title of Duke of Lu, with a settlement of 5,000 households.
A month later, Wang Shichong's subordinates Pei Renji, the Minister of Rites, his son Zuofu General Pei Xingyan, Zuo Cheng Yuwen Rutong, and dozens of others planned to murder Wang Shichong and proclaim Yang Tong as emperor again.
When the incident was revealed, Wang Shichong killed them all and annihilated their three tribes.
Later, Wang Shichong's brother Wang Shiyun took the opportunity to encourage Wang Shichong to kill Yang Tong in order to cut off people's thoughts of restoration. Wang Shichong sent his nephew Wang Xingben to Yang Tong with poisoned wine and forced Yang Tong to drink the poisoned wine. Yang Tong knew
It was inevitable that he would die, so he asked to see his mother, Xiao Liu Liangdi, but Wang Xingben did not allow him.
Yang Tong then used cloth as a mat, burned incense and worshiped Buddha. He cried loudly and said, "I hope I will never be born in the noble family of an emperor again." Then he drank poisonous wine. Perhaps it was not poisonous enough and he failed to die in time. Wang Xingben also
Hang him with cloth...
In the Huanghuang Sui Dynasty, the imperial line was cut off from then on.
Then, His Majesty Li Er sent troops to Hulao Pass, "three thousand to one hundred thousand", and the battle was decisive...
It was a tragic time, when China was in turmoil, wars were everywhere, the huge Sui Dynasty collapsed, and the fate of many people changed accordingly, either falling into the soil or flying into the sky, good and evil, good and evil,
Betrayal and perseverance, gain and loss, intertwined in this turbulent era, leaving behind countless generosity and ambition, grudges and resentments.
*****
Li Yuanjing was a little stunned for a moment.
He never imagined that his beautiful concubine could actually be involved with the former Sui royal family. Although the Great Sui Dynasty had been dead for more than 20 years, there were many old and young people from the Great Sui Dynasty in the court. These people seemed to be
Surrendering under the majesty of Li Tang, all loyal and courageous people shouted long live, but in fact, no one knows how many people still dream of restoring the Sui Dynasty in their hearts...
Why did King Wu Li Ke leave Silla?
Among them, His Majesty Li Er did not want Li Ke to become the loyal object of those former Sui Dynasty survivors, old and young, and Li Ke himself did not want to get entangled with those people...
Li Yuanjing suddenly felt that maybe it was God's will that he did not go to Silla.
What is lost is the east corner, and what is gained is the mulberry tree.
Although the former Sui Dynasty has been blown away by the rain and the wind, and those old and young people have gradually given up on the idea of ​​restoration, the secret power left over from the former Sui Dynasty under the hands of Dong's father and daughter is real. If Mr. Dong is allowed to
After committing suicide, all those secret powers were naturally dispersed without a leader.
That would be a pity...
Li Yuanjing's throat felt dry. He thought for a while and complained to Dong Mingyue: "Although I don't have the magnanimity of Meng Chang, I am by no means a narrow-minded person. Since your father is still alive, why don't you tell me clearly? Such secretiveness will actually make you happy.
It makes me suspicious and hurts our previous friendship."
Then, he turned to Mr. Dong and said calmly: "Sir, there is no need to kill yourself. This matter is not that serious."
Mr. Dong showed no signs of anger on his face and clasped his hands together and said: "The smoke and clouds last night have long since dissipated. There is no Mr. Dong in the world anymore. Only the monks from Ximing Temple are working hard to save the monks."
Li Yuanjing hurriedly said: "Since the master still has an only daughter named Mingyue, but her six roots are not clean, why not grow her hair and return to the secular world? You and I can be regarded as sons-in-law. I can buy you servants in the house and let Mingyue die.
"Filial piety, waiting for you to enjoy your old age, isn't it far better than being cold and lonely in this temple?"
Mr. Dong shook his head and said: "If you go deep into Buddhism, everything will be in vain. I have not killed anyone with this voice, but countless people have died because of me. They are riddled with injustice and have serious sins. Only by spending this remaining life alone with the Buddha can I atone for my sins and gain
Liberation. Since Mingyue has entered the palace, she is destined to the prince, has something to rely on in this life, and the poor monk has nothing to worry about."
Li Yuanjing sweated anxiously.
You old monk, who cares whether you are guilty or not?
I am jealous of those dead spies under your command...
Although the Great Sui Dynasty had forgotten it for many years, since the forces left over from the original Sui Dynasty clan must have gone through the most rigorous training, would ordinary people dare to say "Determined to restore the country"? Anyone who can shout such slogans, forget it
Whether or not it succeeds in the end, it must be the best among the best.
If such a secret force disappeared with the old monk, it would be a waste of resources...
But do I want to tell this old guy directly, "I want to rebel" and leave this secret force of yours to me?
With no choice but to look at Dong Mingyue, he said: "Mingyue, look..."
Before she finished speaking, Dong Mingyue knelt down in front of Mr. Dong and sobbed: "My father is cruel, he only cares about his own comfort, but he doesn't care about his daughter's life... In this case, please leave those dead soldiers to your daughter's command."
, the great cause of restoring the country has long been hopeless, but if these people are with my daughter, she will have one more person to rely on to avoid being killed that day..."
Li Yuanjing was overjoyed.
She is indeed the woman that I like, she is so in tune with her!
However, this sounds a bit embarrassing. You are a prostitute and you are in the palace. Who would kill you for no reason?
Except for those jealous women in the palace...
When Mr. Dong heard this, he was shocked. His already ferocious face became more ferocious, and he said angrily: "Tell me quickly, who is so reckless that he dares to threaten your safety? Even if he is hiding in the palace, dad will not do anything tonight."
We must take his head!"
Li Yuanjing clicked his tongue, what he said was so domineering.
It can be seen from this that the power under the hands of this father and daughter should be quite powerful, even the heavily guarded palace is regarded as nothing...
My heart is getting hotter and hotter.
Dong Mingyue said: "Dad has misunderstood. No one has endangered his daughter's life... It's just that the current situation is dangerous. If the father no longer cares about his daughter, he is afraid that his daughter will be harmed sooner or later..."
"Come on, if that's the case, then all these people will be handed over to my daughter to control from now on."
Dong Mingyue suddenly burst into tears and smiled, and said charmingly: "Thank you, father!"
Turning his head and winking at Li Yuanjing covertly, a proud smile appeared on his handsome face...
Li Yuanjing was ecstatic.
What is the use of these dead soldiers and spies left in Dong Mingyue's hands? She is clearly inheriting the past in order to help herself...
Good woman, it is not in vain that I love you so much. Since you know how to share my worries, how can I treat you harshly?
"Master, please rest assured that since Mingyue is my wife, I will also give her a title, and my future children will be able to inherit part of the royal family property and be included in the royal Jade Butterfly genealogy. Their descendants will all be Tianhuang nobles.
