The crown prince Yang Yong suddenly proposed to kill Chen Shubao, the queen of Southern Chen, at the imperial meeting to discuss the response to the Turkic invasion.

Yang Guangzheng was about to open his mouth to refute, but saw Yang Jian shaking his head at him slightly, and first asked Yang Yong: "Seeing the land, you allege that Chen Shubao is the culprit who made Gu Sheng rebel, but what evidence do you have?" ”

Yang Yong bowed and replied: "Father Qi, according to the son's investigation, Gu Sheng's sister Gu Pan'er had a relationship with Chen Shubao more than ten years ago, Gu Pan'er married Chang'an, and lurked in the palace of the former dynasty for many years, and must be sent by Chen Shubao. Moreover, since Changsun Sheng sent an envoy to the Turks and revealed that the person who sneaked to lobby the Turks outside the Guanxi was Gu Pan'er's brother Gu Sheng, Erchen had gone to Daxingshan Temple and Wanshanni Temple to inquire about the monks and nuns in the temples, and learned that Chen Shubao often sent people to these two monasteries to worship the Buddha. Also, taking a step back, even if Chen Shubao did not directly instruct Gu Sheng to rebel, Gu Sheng and other remnants of Nanchen colluded with the Turkic north and south to plot rebellion for the purpose of restoring Nanchen. ”

"What the prince said is not true." Yang Guang couldn't bear it anymore when he heard it, and blurted out, "For hundreds of years, there has never been a precedent to follow for killing the king of the fallen country, if this dynasty sets this precedent, it will inevitably attract the accusations and dissatisfaction of the people of the world, this is one of its ......."

"Ah Zong, Chen Shubao's heart of restoration is immortal, what is the difference between it and Yuwen Praruo? If he doesn't die for a day, I'm afraid Jiangnan won't be at peace for a day, and I'm doing this for your sake. Yang Yong didn't wait for Yang Guang to finish speaking, so he refuted him.

On the contrary, at present, the uniform land system has been implemented in six counties and thirty states in the south of the Yangtze River, and the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is becoming more and more stable, and the people have obtained fields in their hands to support their families. For example, if Chen Shubao was killed at this moment, he gave people a handle and gave the remnants of Nan Chen hidden in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River an excuse to confuse people and openly rebel. Father, Chen Shubao can't be killed. Yang Guang said without flinching.

"I just listened to it, what your two brothers said is not unreasonable, but they lack sufficient evidence." Yang Jian looked at Yang Yong and Yang Guang, who were arguing with each other, and slowly opened his mouth, "Seeing the land, you just concluded that Chen Shubao was referring to Gu Sheng's rebellion, mostly out of your subjective assumptions, and there is no real evidence; Ah Zong, what the prince just said is that Chen Shubao is the root cause of the troubles in Jiangnan, and I agree with this. Once it was found out that it was indeed Chen Shubao who instructed people to plot chaos and restoration, I was not afraid of bearing the notoriety of killing the king of the country. ”

Everyone in the hall looked at Yang Jian with bated breath, wanting to hear how he would send Chen Shubao.

Yang Guang heard the second half of Yang Jian's words, and his heart was anxious, and he immediately clenched his fists and said: "Father, Chen Shubao is now a prisoner of the same rank......

"What are you anxious about? Let's wait until I'm done. Yang Jian interrupted Yang Guang with a calm face, and then said, "I still remember that before the destruction of Nan Chen, it was the 'Wild Goose's Nest' case that was investigated under the auspices of Ah Zong. Based on this, it can be inferred that Chen Shubao is indeed more suspicious. At present, there is something going on in the north, Ah Zongjiu is in Hebei, and he is quite familiar with the situation in the Turkic country, and since he needs to stay in the DPRK and Zuo Zhen to quell the rebellion in the north, he may as well hand over the mission to you to investigate and instruct Gu Sheng to plot rebellion, and you must find out this person as soon as possible, and cut off the root cause of the collusion between the north and the south and the conspiracy to cause chaos. See the felling, what do you say? ”

Yang Yong saw that although his father did not say it explicitly, he transferred the power to investigate the case from his hands to Yang Guang, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he had to nod his head and say yes.

"Regarding the matter of the northern border, Changsun Sheng, I will kill Yuwen Prajna, appease the commander of the Dulan army, and give you the right to act cheaply." Yang Jian saw that Yang Yong and Yang Guangju were speechless, so he turned the topic back to the main topic of the meeting, and instructed the eldest Sun Sheng on the one hand, and announced to everyone at the meeting, "Yuwen Panruo is the princess of the previous dynasty, and the former Meng and the queen took pity on her and accepted her as the daughter of the imperial family, but she did not want to be loyal to the service, but still had the heart of restoration, and even secretly conspired with foreign races to capture my border pass. I have decided to kill this unworthy daughter and eliminate the source of chaos in the north, do you have any objections? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers have no objections." Yang Xiong, Su Wei and others bowed down and replied.

"Okay, Changsun Sheng, I order you to leave tomorrow and send an envoy to the Turks again, and you must return to Chang'an with the head of Yuwen Prajna."

The eldest grandson Sheng solemnly received the order.

At this point, the meeting should have ended, but Yang Jian changed his words and said to everyone: "I summoned Zhuqing to come today, and there is still one thing to explain to the ranks: it has been ascertained that the death of Yang Jun, the king of Qin, was indeed killed by the princess Cui of Qin, and Cui himself has confessed. ”

Everyone at the bottom of the stairs heard the emperor coldly talk about the need to ban all kinds of rumors about the death of Yang Jun, the king of Qin, and some people couldn't help but move their eyes to Yang Yong and Yang Guang brothers again.

Yang Guang thanked his father Yang Jian for maintaining his reputation in front of the ministers attending the meeting, and sincerely bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you, father." ”

But the crown prince Yang Yong replied with an expressionless face: "Obey the holy decree." ”

Although the imperial council nominally discussed how to deal with the Turkic invasions, because the crown prince Yang Yong suggested that Chen Shubao, the queen of Southern Chen, be killed, and then Yang Jian, the ancestor of Sui, announced in public that all rumors that slandered the reputation of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, were banned, and the courtiers who came to the meeting were sensitively aware that Yang Yong, the crown prince who had just restored the power of the Zuoli dynasty, did not seem to be as trusted by the emperor as before, and at the same time, the upward trend of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was well known and clear to everyone. As a result, a large number of courtiers began to look for various ways, intending to get involved with Yang Guangpan instead, and the once busy East Palace became much more deserted.

Yang Guang didn't know this, after getting the official authorization of his father Yang Jian, he asked the princess Xiao Erdai to go to Zhengyang Palace every day to serve and take care of his mother Dugu Jialuo, and he led Pei Yun and others to investigate clues in Chang'an day and night, wanting to find the real culprit who instructed Gu Sheng to rebel as soon as possible, however, after more than ten days, almost nothing.
