Chapter 171: Plan 171
The phoenix helmet, golden armor, littered gold tung, and fully armed Yuwen Cheng were all alone outside Renshou Palace. The strong winds and heavy rains were pouring, and he still couldn't let him retreat at all. In the palace were Yang Guang, who was wearing mourning clothes and some old ministers in white clothes. Most of them were veterans who fought with Yang Jian to conquer the world, and had deep feelings, Yang Lin, Gao Ying, Qiu Rui, Han Qinhu, Yuwen Shu... Some people also staged scenes of suffering in order to please Yang Guang.
"Your Highness, take a break early! Tomorrow is the day for the funeral of the late emperor, and you will preside over it yourself and you will not be negligent."
The old prime minister Gao Bing sighed and said to Yang Guang on the side. At this moment, he had an inexplicable sense of sadness of a rabbit and a fox. He recalled that Yang Jian was advancing to the throne and advanced all the way, sweeping across the northern desert, sweeping over the Turks, and attacking Tuyuhun. In addition, Nan Chen, there was no enemy in the whole world! Soon after, he usurped the throne and seized power, dared to act and act without any modification, and directly stated that the world would let the young emperor of Later Zhou give way...
Now, decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and now the time and situation have changed, the good brothers of the past are separated by heaven and man forever, and life and death are vague.
"Gao Zai-same, please go back to the mansion to rest first. I will spend a while with my father for a while. But I think he must be very happy at this moment? Last month, he talked to me and missed his mother Dugu very much. Now he finally got what he wished and could spend the moonlight."
Yang Guang knelt in front of the hearse and forced a smile at the ministers, looking extremely miserable. He was originally handsome and resolute with a pale face, and there was no blood in sight. In addition, his stupid look suddenly looked a bit weird and horrible.
"Hey, Your Highness is really filial! I just forgive the old minister for talking too much. Is Your Highness really going to abandon the government affairs for the late emperor for a hundred days? I heard that those old people have been doing a lot recently. I am afraid that they are plotting against some serious deeds. In order to avoid the troubles, Your Highness might as well wait for the late emperor to perform the throne ceremony after the funeral tomorrow? Then you can do it! This is a last resort. At this moment, the people in the court are in a panic, and Guandong, the nobles of Guanlong are vicious. If the palace does not ascend to the throne, this farce will never be destroyed. The fundamental principle of stabilizing the country first is the most important thing.
Gao Feng, together with Qiu Rui and Yuwen Shu, these older men, began to leave step by step. After walking a few steps, they suddenly returned.
Thank you for reminding me that I have already made plans in my heart and don’t have to say much. Go back and rest early. Tomorrow is the day for my father to be buried. Please remember to come earlier."
Yang Guang nodded, but he didn't even think about it and refused directly. He understood these ministers for his own good, but he would not change the things he had decided in his heart because of these.
Seeing that it was useless to say too much, the important officials stopped talking. After greeting each other, they parted ways and walked towards their mansion. However, Yuwen Cheng did not leave. He had been here for several days, and he had been here for food and sleeping. After several days, even he couldn't stand it.
Yuwen Cheng is like this, let alone Yang Guang, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered. He has not seen each other for several days. How to say it, it should be because he felt guilty towards Yang Jian when he went out. As a son, he should have been filial to his elders, but the two identities of the crown prince and the emperor...
To be honest, the prince and the emperor are a perfect cycle of conflict. In the ancient imperial society, there was always a conflict between the emperor and the prince. The emperor wanted to cultivate a good successor, but he was afraid that the successor would be too prominent, so he took away his power before he died. Therefore, he was very wary of the prince and severely cracked down on the prince. However, the so-called "three heroes and three gangs, if the prince does not have helpers, how could he grow up and succeed? In order to avoid these problems, Yang Guang deliberately alienated Yang Jian. When he was in the position of King Jin, he could be surrounded by Yang Jian all day in order to become the prince, but when he was promoted to the crown prince, he had to avoid this contradiction. The contradiction between the prince and the emperor has never been truly resolved in the imperial society for thousands of years.
I deliberately alienated myself for the future throne. Now that people die, I feel that as a son owes too many families. I feel that I feel that I am ashamed and always think that I can make up for the loss to make it feel better and that I can feel more at ease.
It is very contradictory, miserable, and unreasonable, but this is the grudges, love, hate, and love. Even a simple thing will immediately become extremely complicated when it involves the royal family.
"The Emperor is buried tomorrow. Your Highness must be careful at all times. I am afraid that some villains will take this opportunity to do something wrong."
After everyone left, only Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Guang were left in Renshou Palace. Outside the hall, the storm was storm, the lightning and thunder were roaring, and the atmosphere was inexplicably depressing. Unable to stand this silent suffocation, Yuwen Cheng even pondered and said.
"I know Chengdu, you should also go and rest. As you have shown, there must be dangers all over the world. You shoulder the important responsibility of protecting me. You need to keep your energy full of energy and rest immediately. Let me wait for a while and take a good look at my father. After tomorrow, there will be no chance again, and there will be no chance to see you..."
"Okay, Your Highness, take care of your health."
To be honest, Yu Wen Cheng was really tired. He hadn't slept well for five or six days. From now on, he never felt that sleeping was such a luxury, so wonderful and fascinating thing.
However, no matter how tired he was, he could tell the priority of the matter. Yang Guang’s unhelpfulness was the most important thing, and he did not dare to relax at all. He walked into Renshou Palace and lay on the ground and slept soundly. Within a moment, he did not wake up from his affairs and snoring like thunder.
"Guangdong, Guanlong's dogs actually want our brothers to kill each other. It's really a crime and cannot be forgiven. Let you be arrogant for a while, and it won't take long to see your fatal flaws one by one. Do you really think that my Yang royal family is kept in the dark and don't know anything? How can my father's peerless wisdom be able to guess? Wait! I will not be able to die well according to my father's wishes."
In the darkness, he took out a golden silk piece of silk about a foot long from his chest, which was densely filled with small words. With the help of the shaky light, he carefully read the method of suppressing the nobles described above.
That was the suicide note given to him by his father when he was confused. Whether it was filial piety for a hundred days or abandoning the government, it was just part of the plan.
