(Many thanks to ‘Little Huihui’s Dad’ and ‘Book Friends 54590730’ for their generous support and monthly ticket support.)
Yang Guangze suppressed the depression and slight panic in his heart, and suddenly stepped forward to Yang Jian with a joyous expression, bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "Congratulations to my father, the emperor, and my mother's spirit in heaven, protect me, the Sui Dynasty, and see the light of day again. The celestial omen indicates that my country, the Sui Dynasty, will be peaceful and the people are safe."
, strong soldiers and strong horses.”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Queen's spirit in heaven protects our Sui Dynasty and brings us back to the sky. The heavenly omen predicts that our Sui Dynasty will prosper, the country will be peaceful and the people are safe, and the army and horses will be strong." One-third of the officials suddenly knelt down under the leadership of Yang Su, He Ruobi, Dugu Qing and other important ministers.
Following Yang Guang, he shouted to Yang Jian.
At this time, the sky and the earth were clear and bright, and people in the distance were immersed in the joyful shouts of driving away the Tengu. This atmosphere was very consistent with what Yang Guang and one-third of the officials said.
The remaining civil and military officials had no choice but to repeat these words whether they wanted to or not. Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief and took a deep look at Yang Guang. His eyes showed admiration but also had an inexplicable meaning.
No matter what, he absolutely didn't want anyone to talk about the dead queen.
"I would like to congratulate you and all your ministers for the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty." Yang Jian opened his hands as if he were holding the whole world in his arms, but no one knew that his heart was full of anger and a little bitter at this time.
Before he died, ministers had already begun to choose to take refuge in his son, which was something that any emperor hated deeply.
…
…
"Among the ten disciples of Sakyamuni, there was a son named Mulian. He was fond of Buddha by nature, kind-hearted, and very filial to his mother. However, Mulian's mother, as empress, was violent by nature, likes and dislikes, and was domineering... Queen Dugu
She is the reincarnation of Mulian's mother. Now she has returned to the evil ghost realm and turned into an evil dog that once again swallowed the sun. Thanks to the concerted efforts of the Sui Dynasty and the people, we set off firecrackers with the sound of gongs and drums, scaring the evil dogs into swallowing the sun.
, and had to spit it out..."
Even though Yang Guang had made some preparations in advance under Wang Junlin's reminder and handled the situation well on the day of the queen's burial, his opponent reacted quickly afterwards and used fierce and powerful methods.
Overnight, the rumor that Queen Dugu was the reincarnation of Mulian's mother, returned to the evil ghost realm, turned into an evil dog, and once again swallowed the sun has become widely known. The time when Queen Dugu was buried happened to be the time of the total solar eclipse. The time was like this
Such a coincidence soon won the trust of many ignorant people.
During the period of national mourning, no music was played in brothels and large restaurants, which were too eye-catching, and only a few people attended. However, smaller teahouses and taverns were still full of guests. Of course, the topic of discussion was inseparable from the total solar eclipse that occurred when the Queen was buried yesterday.
, and the rumor that became a household name overnight.
Queen Dugu actually has a good reputation among the people, but this good reputation cannot withstand the slander of rumors. The only way for a person to truly remember the goodness of another person is to let that person benefit from the latter.
But Dugu Jialuo didn't seem to do anything to directly benefit the people. In addition, the Dugu family's tree attracts the wind. Since ancient times, if the tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it.
Therefore, not only many common people, but also Qingyi among the scholars, overnight, stood opposite to Dugu Jialuo, who had just been buried. Discussions with various expressions could be heard everywhere, including laughter that was filled with schadenfreude.
Especially among the many taverns in the capital.
"The Dugu family can become the largest family in the world after the royal family. Queen Dugu has contributed indispensably over the years. How can it be that there are so few cases of abusing power for personal gain? Take the recent example, Dugu Moyu almost lost the entire Yongzhou last year, and even
He was once captured by the Turks, but he did not commit suicide to thank the country, and he was not punished in any way afterwards. If Queen Dugu was not behind this matter, how could your Majesty let Dugu Moyu go."
Sitting at a square table with mottled paint, a middle-aged scholar in his thirties or fives laughed boldly. The two scholars sitting at the same table with him also raised their glasses and laughed. Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty
, with the joint efforts of Yang Jian and Gao Ying, many scholars from poor families appeared in the Sui Dynasty, but almost no one held a high position, and the largest official was only from the sixth rank. Naturally, these people did not have any benefit to the Dugu family, and
Holding inexplicable hatred.
At this time, the middle-aged scholar put down his wine glass and sighed: "Although I don't believe that Queen Dugu is the reincarnation of Mulian's mother, but if the Queen behaves righteously and leaves enough virtuous reputation and merits, how can she be remembered after her death?"
Humiliated by a rumor."
"Brother Mingwen said exactly what he said. Sincerity can be said to be a great blessing to the country if there are wise men in the world, but it is a misfortune to the country if there are evildoers in the palace. I heard that Your Majesty has long wanted to launch the imperial examination, but he has been blocked by various powerful families, among which the most important is the Dugu family.
So powerful that even a person like Gao Gong was dismissed by Queen Dugu and demoted from prime minister to common people. Although the rumor that Queen Dugu is the reincarnation of Mulian's mother is a little ridiculous, the meaning expressed is not unreasonable."
Several poor scholars sipped their cups of wine and sighed with emotion, but what they said exactly represented the clear current in the scholarly community.
After a while of pushing cups and changing cups, one of the scholars suddenly said: "Queen Dugu is strong and domineering. Relying on the support of the Dugu family and your Majesty's favor, she has repeatedly interfered in the political affairs of the DPRK. Gao Gong was dismissed two years ago and the former crown prince was deposed. This
All the matters related to our Sui Dynasty are caused by this woman, and now that she is already in heaven, it is natural that things like this must be set out of order to show His Majesty's wisdom?"
The faces of all the scholars changed, and no one spoke for a while. One of the scholars winked at the scholar who had just spoken, and said: "You don't know, your Majesty actually doesn't like the current crown prince, but Queen Dugu intervened.
Moreover, the Queen is seriously ill, and His Majesty did not want to make the Queen ill, so he reluctantly agreed. Now, of course, things are different from the past."
When all the scholars heard this, their eyes couldn't help but shine. In the Sui Dynasty, when aristocratic families controlled the government, it was really difficult for poor scholars to become officials and be promoted. However, it would be different if they had the merit of following the dragon. Many scholars
He has already begun to think about what he can do to play a certain role in the former crown prince regaining the position of crown prince, so as to achieve the great success of Conglong.
…
…
Soon, scholars and literati criticized some of the things Empress Dugu did back then, and used many things to prove the fact that Empress Dugu brought trouble to the harem.
The crime of "causing trouble in the harem" is already the most serious crime for a queen of a country. It is serious enough to overturn everything that Queen Dugu has done before. This naturally includes deposing the crown prince.
But this matter is bound to make Yang Jian very unhappy. Although it is known that Queen Dugu is very powerful in doing things, and is even called the Second Saint with him as the emperor. Or put aside the relationship between him and Dugu Jialuo, just say that the Queen is causing trouble in the harem.
, doesn’t it mean that he is such a coward as an emperor that he can’t even control his own women, and even the queen has the final say on matters such as deposing and establishing the crown prince.
But having said that, if Yang Jian really wants to abolish Yang Guang's position as crown prince and make Yang Yong the crown prince again, now is an opportunity to move forward. After all, exchanging the crown prince's position will lose the country's integrity, but if the dead Dugu Jia is allowed to
If Luo takes the blame, he, as an emperor, has not lost the majesty of the emperor!
Perhaps Yang Yong and his confidants considered Yang Jian's attitude on this matter, but they had no choice. If they could not take advantage of the great opportunity of this total solar eclipse to seize the crown prince's position, they might not have another chance in the future.
Therefore, their purpose is to take advantage of the general trend to force Yang Jian to follow the trend. In fact, in the eyes of many people, if it were not for the words Yang Jian said in front of the Queen's Mausoleum when the total solar eclipse appeared, it was difficult for him to change his words for a while, maybe Yang Jian would have followed the trend.
The owner of the East Palace has been changed.
Of course, this is just some people's own judgment. No one knows what Yang Jian thinks, not even the two parties involved, Yang Guang and Yang Yong.
With the help of caring people, the recent death of the empress who caused trouble in the harem and the dethronement of the prince attracted the attention of people all over the capital. Now, as long as people think of yesterday's total solar eclipse, they will be linked to the ownership of the East Palace. Even if someone
He said: "Total solar eclipses appear every few years, how can they influence the position of the crown prince?" He was quickly drowned in the saliva of others.
Yang Guang's response was fierce. Almost at the same time that the rumors emerged, the white and underworld gangs in the capital, large and small, regardless of whether they participated in spreading the rumors or not, were all destroyed that night. Three thousand people wearing black night clothes were
The dead soldiers were divided into ten groups. Under the leadership of one master in the stagnant stage and three in the foundation stage, they cleared out the gangs one by one.
It's a pity that the rumors have spread, like water that cannot be stopped. Even if all the sources of the rumors are cut off, it is already too late. Things continue to develop in a direction that is not conducive to Yang Guang, especially when Yang Guang goes to the palace to see the emperor, and there is a rumor in the palace that the emperor is itchy.
, after shutting him out, the rumors that the Lord of the East Palace was about to move became more and more intense.
This made some centrists begin to lean towards Yang Yong, such as Changping Wang Qiu Rui, who had already developed a deadly feud with Wang Junlin and Yang Su. Perhaps because Qiu Rui believed that Yang Su and Wang Junlin were both Yang Guang's people, he
Under the guidance of Gao Ying, he chose the deposed prince Yang Yong.
Since the total solar eclipse, Qiu Rui has been extremely active. Someone saw the deposed prince Yang Yong's concubine Yun Dingxing, the father of Yun Zhaoxun, quietly entering the Changping Palace from the side door and coming out two hours later. The property account of the Changping Palace
A huge sum of three hundred thousand yuan was missing.
…
…
In front of Wang Junlin in Qin'an Hou Mansion, a warrior and a scholar sat.
These two people were Jingtian and Zhang Jike who had just come secretly from Gaotai City in Yongzhou, northwest China, on orders from Wang Junlin.
Jingtian's name is very simple, but he has a burly body, is dressed in casual clothes, and is quite heroic. Between opening and closing his eyes, there is a hint of ferocity and cunning, just like a wolf king. This man is the leader of the White Wolf Gang, which was once very prosperous in Qilian Mountain.
