Chapter 16: Hindsight
Yang Zhong finally died, but Yang Guang still had no news, but there were already many officials in Luoyang City, and they felt that something was wrong.
Especially the residence of Xiao Guogong.
Because they found that they didn't know when it started, outside Xiao Guogong's mansion, some people, although they had dressed up in disguise, but the behavior of monitoring Guogong's mansion was clear at a glance.
After Xiao Guogong heard his son Xiao Ling's words, he didn't speak for a long time.
Since Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty gave him medicine that day, his body has suddenly become vibrant, not only can he walk like flying, but he even pampered a concubine last night.
This made Xiao Guogong's whole person seem to be a different person, and he had a feeling of coming back to life and spring.
On the premise of having energy, he began to rectify the housekeeping of the mansion, and he was also assessing Xiao Ling's ability, and when the two were talking, Xiao Ling mentioned that the whole Luoyang City was very strange today.
Not only did the steward who went out encounter someone interrogating, but even the entire Luoyang City, there were sergeants everywhere arresting Li Shan, and even Xiao Guogong's mansion was being monitored.
"Li Shan, if I remember correctly, it should be His Majesty's recently promoted head of the Internal Affairs Office, and according to the news that came, then Li Shan is very favored by His Majesty, such a person, no, I want to enter the palace to see Your Majesty......"
The more Xiao Guogong thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he thought about going to see Yang Guang once.
In the past, Yang Guang gave him the feeling of being incompetent and greedy for beauty, but the last time he came to the Guogong Mansion, he was too impressed, and it can be said that his current life was given by His Majesty.
The crown prince is young, Yang Su is autocratic, and His Majesty must not have an accident.
When this situation is unclear, the best way is to enter the palace to ask to see His Majesty, and before leaving, he thought about it for a while, and explained to Xiao Ling and asked him to take a good look at his home.
"Warn all the guards at home, let them patrol well, raise their vigilance, don't panic first, don't forget one thing, we are loyal to Your Majesty, and the dignity of our Xiao family is given by Your Majesty......"
Xiao Guogong said very clearly, Xiao Ling also knew about the changes in his body.
In the past, His Majesty seemed to be a little guarded against their Xiao family and close to the Yang family, but the queen of the Great Sui and the crown prince have a very strong relationship with the Xiao family.
And what His Majesty did last time has given the Xiao family a signal, that is, they still believe in the Xiao family, and if the Great Sui is a little troublesome, the Xiao family will definitely stand up.
"By the way, you send someone to the prince's mansion to have a look, don't let some bad things reach the prince's ears, the prince is not in good health, and he can't be disturbed......"
After Xiao Guogong told his son, he entered the palace gate in a sedan chair.
It's just that the rules in the palace are big, and he didn't dare to walk around at will after entering the palace gate, but honestly asked to see Emperor Yang of Sui in accordance with the rules.
The excuse is to thank Emperor Yang of Sui for his heavy gift last time, and this time he also brought an ancient painting and wanted to give it to Emperor Yang of Sui.
After Xiao Guogong was led to a room by the little yellow door, after serving tea and snacks, the little yellow door closed the door and retreated, and no one came to summon or send a message for a long time.
This made Xiao Guogonghu suspicious, and he motioned to the loyal servants and maids who followed him to inquire.
Xiao Guogong is different from others, the loyal servants and maids around him often followed him into the palace in the past, and the master of this harem is Queen Xiao, Queen Xiao's mother's family, and he is generous and humble in language.
So even if Yang Su is powerful, they can also inquire about a lot of news.
Soon the news came.
"Master, there are a lot of people who entered the palace today, but no one has seen His Majesty, and they are all left to dry......"
"I didn't know, what did Li Shan steal? Some people were surprised, saying that His Majesty was out of the palace, but they were not sure ......"
……
Some news fed back into Xiao Guogong's ears, making him chuckle a few times in his heart, these news were too strange.
It feels like it's inconsistent, and it doesn't seem to be the same inside and outside the palace.
"Go to see the queen ......"
If you can't see Your Majesty, it's the same when you see the Queen, at least from the Queen's side, you can know some of the real situation.
But when Xiao Guogong went to see Queen Xiao, he saw that Queen Xiao was anxious.
"Father, something is wrong, Your Majesty, I'm afraid something has happened, there is no trace of His Majesty in the entire harem, and there are rumors in the palace that Li Shan stole it, I think something is wrong......"
Empress Xiao is a smart person, smart people talk to smart people, and there is almost no nonsense.
She also sensed that something was wrong.
Emperor Yang of Sui sometimes disappears, that is because he is lucky to have a certain beauty, but it will not be like now, the whole palace cannot be found at all, and the scene is like leaving the palace.
But when she left the palace, she couldn't find evidence to prove that His Majesty was out of the palace.
Emperor Yang of Sui seemed to have disappeared like this, which made Empress Xiao panic, and the news brought by Xiao Guogong outside the palace made her feel dangerous, and when the two were talking, there was a reprimand outside.
"What do you want to do?"
"There is a rebel rebellion in Luoyang City, and in order to protect the safety of the queen and Xiao Guogong, Duke Yang asks you to stay in this palace and not move around......"
There are Jin Wuwei outside who have already put them under house arrest, and Xiao Guogong already knows it in his heart.
He was placed under house arrest.
Regardless of whether there are rebels or not, at this time, he is afraid that he will not be able to act at will, and those who originally monitored Xiao Guogong are afraid that they have already taken action, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's situation is afraid that it is terrible.
After Xiao Guogong and Empress Xiao glanced at each other, they had already seen the crisis in each other's eyes.
Is this Yang Su going to rebel?
Actually put them under house arrest?
So where is Your Majesty, is his life safe, and the Prince, what about the Prince's Mansion?
At this time, Xiao Guogong was anxious, but before he walked out of the door, he saw those soldiers of Jin Wuwei outside pulling out the knives in their hands, and the bright swords made Xiao Guogong understand.
At this time, he can't be tough, he doesn't have manpower around him, and something will happen.
But this also shows that the situation is extremely dangerous, and this Great Sui Tian is afraid that it is going to change.
"What to do? Your Majesty, what should I do? Those people have already come this way, there are so many of us, I'm afraid we can't hide, but when I go out, I'm afraid that these people will try to find out what to do......"
Li Shan had already stood up at this time, and His Majesty did not want him to lure those people away, but the situation was very bad.
Zhang Yi had already put on his armor and was holding the knife in one hand.
No matter how many people come, he has to protect His Majesty with all his life.
"The rebels and sergeants want my life, some people, it's really a dog who can't change his eating temperament, no matter how good you are to him, it's useless......"
Emperor Yang of Sui came up with this sentence inexplicably, in fact, this crisis was left by the original owner, and the original Emperor Yang of Sui believed that Yang Su was equivalent to giving his life to others.
The military power of Daxing Palace and Luoyang City is in the hands of Yang Su, whoever has the big fist, whoever says it is right, this rebel army and the sergeant are afraid that they are all a group of people, in this case, how to resolve it?
