Prince Yang Yong stared at Mr. Liu, showing a hesitation and difficulty in deciding. Finally, he shook his head and said, "It's not time to fight to the death. Doing that will reveal our strength in advance. The success rate is not high. Instead, we will trap ourselves in. The palace transformation must wait until the end of being unbearable before we can take a risk. Move too early and it will be difficult to achieve results. "

After hearing Yang Yong's words, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The palms and foreheads of the palms and foreheads were all sweating. They had been in the officialdom for ten years and dared not show such a nervous expression, so they forced themselves to calm down.

The crime of treason is too great, especially under the rule of His Majesty Yang Jian, as long as there is a wind in the palace, no matter whether it is true or false, the emperor will definitely be investigated and punished if he is angry. At the least, he will be dismissed from office, and at the worst, he will be executed.

These people are the confidants of Prince Yang Yong, who always stood firmly on Yang Yong's side, because interests and future have long been tied together. If they withdraw, they will not escape the suppression of the Yang Guang faction. If they betray the prince, they are afraid that they will suffer sooner. If they want to get the Dragon, they must assist the prince in transitioning smoothly and ascend to the throne as the emperor.

However, it is no secret to assist the prince in fighting with the King of Jin. Even if Emperor Wen of Sui learned about it, he would only transfer it away and weaken the power of the Eastern Palace and would not attack a killer. However, once it was reported that he would be charged with riots, he would definitely be killed without mercy.

So when these people heard Mr. Liu’s harsh words just now, they were a little nervous. Such danger was too great. If they put their lives and family rise and fall in, they would be taken into account.

Not to mention the distant future, Yu Qingze, one of the four nobles in the early Sui Dynasty, served as the Inner Historian and Minister of Rites when he was founded. Later, he served as the Right Pushe. He served as the general of the twelve guards, fought against the Turks, and was very talented in the pacification of Chen. However, in the 17th year of Kaihuang, he was alienated by Emperor Wen because of his slander and forced him to go to Lingnan to quell the rebellion.

After quelling the rebellion and victorious, Yu Qingze inspected the mountains and rivers of Lingnan and said casually: "This city is dangerous and solid, and you can add enough food. If you can protect the person, you will be unscathed." He was falsely accused of rebellion by his wife who committed adultery with his beloved concubine, and was actually sentenced to death by Emperor Wen. It can be seen that Emperor Wen's suspicion, no matter who it is, will die if he touches it.

"If His Highness, the Crown Prince, personally apologizes for guilt and enters the palace to explain everything to His Majesty, would there be no hope of redeeming the prince? After all, the dethronement of the crown prince is contrary to the ancient etiquette system. Discordment with Zhou rituals is not a way to follow the heavens. Even Your Majesty cannot change the foundation of the country so arbitrarily!" Li Gang comforted him earnestly.

Liu Xingben, the right concubine of the crown prince, said indignantly: "That's right, the King of Jin is a treacherous villain. He is good at concealing himself, dressing and pretending to be frugal, pretending to be disliked by singing and dancing, and musical instruments. He only knows how to govern the country, lead troops and study. He is not a woman, and he is just two concubines, but he only loves Concubine Xiao, and other illusions. He is just a wolfish ambition and attempts to seize the position of the country!"

Mr. Liu also said: "Liu once sent a martial arts master to lurk in the backyard of the King of Jin's Mansion. He once saw King Yang Guang of Jin in a rockery in the back garden, and he had a secret passage. There were many beauties from Jiangnan in the underground palace to offer their lust. He even had a newborn baby taken out to drown. King Yang Guang of Jin was not a good thing, it was false and cunning."

Xiahou Fu suggested: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, it would be better for us to report to Your Majesty and Dugu Queen to reveal the enjoyable side of Yang Guang. In this way, it would be beneficial to us to slander his disguised image as a gentleman."

Prince Yang Yong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, shook his head slowly and said, "It's not that simple. Xiao Wang's second brother is definitely not a good person. He has a heroic posture and ambition to swallow mountains and rivers. His palms are black and ruthless. Even if we report secretly, let Your Majesty and Queen Mother know, King Jin's spy will be immediately rewarded. At that time, King Jin will definitely take action quickly, either moving people or killing them, and leaving no evidence at all. In this way, if the lawsuit fails, it will be easier for someone to seize the opportunity to fight back. Moreover, Queen Mother has a great prejudice against me and preferring King Jin, so she may not be able to listen."

Mr. Liu said coldly: "Why, I would rather let some small gangs in Chang'an City spread this news secretly, so that I can slander the image of King Jin. The street people are most keen on the private affairs of such wealthy courtyards. If you discuss privately, you can also harm him."

"Okay, Liu Qianbei will do this." Yang Yong agreed.

Mr. Liu is in his thirties and is full of heroic martial arts and chivalrous spirit. His father was Liu Chang, the Duke of Peng of the Shangzhu Kingdom. Since he was young, he was sent by his father to the mountains to find a master to practice martial arts. He has mastered martial arts, boxing, swordsmanship, and light skills, and is full of courage.

After becoming an adult, he returned to Chang'an City and was generous, gathered friends with gold and friends, and made many green forest heroes and rogue swordsmen. A few years ago, he served as the preparatory office of the Crown Prince Qianniu. He was a seventh-rank official in charge of the Crown Prince Guard. He secretly received financial support from the prince, and even controlled some local gangs in Chang'an City. He also recruited many desperate people to form a group of dead soldiers.

Mr. Liu did not abide by the laws of the court and committed several crimes. Emperor Wen forgives him every time because of Liu Chang. Therefore, Mr. Liu is fearless and with the support of the prince, he becomes more arrogant and indulgent. He hunts down the burly and strong men among the children of the ministers and ministers, and takes them to his home, puts the wheels around his neck, and then beats them with sticks. Those who are almost beaten to death but still can't surrender and beg for mercy are called heroes. If they make friends with him, they are considered a domineering person in Chang'an City!

"Your Highness, does it mean that we have no way to overthrow the King of Jin? Is it related to the Dugu Queen being favored by one and the other, which affects Your Majesty's decision? Can you win the support of the queen and reverse her attitude?" Xiao Zibao asked in confusion.

Prince Yang Yong showed a bitter smile on his face, which is said to be because His Majesty and Dugu Queen did not like the prince's love of luxury, joy, extravagance, and many beautiful concubines. They gradually became distant, and even wanted to transfer the inheritance rights of the country to the second son. This was just a superficial view, and more were spread by rumors.

In fact, Yang Yong knew very well that the conflict between him and his father Yang Jian had been planted long ago and could not be reconciled.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian intended to strengthen the position of the prince. By the fifth year of Kaihuang, Prince Yang Yong was not only able to participate in the military and national affairs, but also most important officials of the court worked part-time in the Eastern Palace. The Prince's Eastern Palace became the second center of power. That year, the Winter Solstice of the Prince gathered the court officials to celebrate the Eastern Palace, which aroused Yang Jian's dissatisfaction and showed the conflict between father and son.

In fact, it is precisely because Yang Yong's approach posed a certain challenge to Yang Jian's authority. In the era of imperial power, the prerequisite for maintaining imperial power is that there can only be one leadership core. Once two cores appear, power struggles will occur, and even father-son and brotherly relationships are inevitable.

Although Yang Yong might not have the intention to replace his father at that time, he was easily exploited by dissatisfied forces in the court. At that time, many old nobles of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were dissatisfied with Yang Jian's in power. Some people supported Yang Jian's change of dynasty, but did not get the corresponding title, and they all held grudges.

Therefore, Wang Yi, Yuan Xie, Liang Shiyan, Liu Fang, Yuwen Xin, Lu Ben, and many descendants of the Northern Zhou royal family secretly formed an "anti-jian" alliance, attempting to undermine Emperor Wen of Sui, and intentionally or unintentionally pulled the prince into the camp against Yang Jian, thus creating an atmosphere of attempting a coup. In March of the sixth year of Kaihuang, Gao De, a native of Luoyang, actually wrote a letter to ask Emperor Wen to abdicate and pass the throne to the prince.

This made Yang Jian angry. He had only been on the throne of the Nine Five Priests for five or six years. He had just pacified Yuchi Jiong, Sima Huangnan, Wang Qian and others rebelled. He did not hold the throne firmly, nor did he taste the real taste of being an emperor. How could he give up power? So he first got rid of Wang Yi and wanted to kill one to warn him, but it did not achieve the effect. Instead, it prompted the opposition camp to try to connect.

At that time, Yang Yong had been passively involved in the coup planned by the opposition. In order to stabilize the overall situation and cut Yang Yong with other opposition forces, Yang Jian sent Yang Yong out of Luoyang and transferred Yang Guang to Beijing. He was soon honored to serve as the governor of Yongzhou and entered the center. From then on, Yang Yong and Yang Guang declined and rose, and the two princes confronted each other. There were major political reasons behind this.
