In front of Shuiding Gate, Shen Guang slowly walked out of the city gate tower, looking at the painting boat in the distance, his eyes fell on another painting boat, at this time his eyes showed a look of pain, Yang Yuanqing gave him the order to rescue King Yan and Princess Danyang, but there was no emperor Yang Guang, Shen Guang also knew that Yang Yuanqing did not want Yang Guang to continue to live, only when Yang Guang died, Yang Yuanqing could justifiably support the king to the throne.

However, Shen Guang hoped that Yang Guang could live, in the past five years, Yang Guang has treated him well, and he will not forget him every reward, and he has not repaid this kindness.

Emotionally speaking, the courtier did not want Yang Guang to die, and at this time, the other party had a short-term defensive loophole, and he could use the waterway to rescue Yang Guang.

But...... This seriously violated Yang Yuanqing's military orders, and put Shen Guang in extreme contradiction and pain in his heart.

At this time, a soldier rushed to report, "General Shen, there is a big battle going on in the forest to the south, and it seems that reinforcements are coming." ”

Only then did Shen Guang understand that it was no wonder that there were no defenders on both sides of the Yuhe River, it turned out that the army had been transferred to the southern forest to surround the reinforcements, at this moment, Shen Guang made up his mind, even if he was heavily reprimanded by Yang Yuanqing for disobeying the military order, he would save Yang Guang, otherwise he would be uneasy in his life.

"Follow me!"

Shen Guang took a dozen guards to the painting boat and drove towards the inner palace.

Yan Wang Yang Tan was the first to discover the abnormality, he had to practice archery and martial arts every day before dinner, and was specially taught by a strong archery officer of the guard, although today was not the day to teach him to practice archery, but Yang Hou had a harvest, he shot three arrows in a row fifty steps away and accurately hit the target, which made him very excited, and ran to report to the master, but unexpectedly learned that today the guards received the holy decree for a holiday, and most of the guards entered the city early in the morning, which made Yang Tan very stunned, even if it was a holiday, it was impossible to rest in two shifts, at most only one shift.

He galloped all the way to the Qilin Pavilion, "Imperial Grandfather!" ”

Yang Guangzheng was sitting in the imperial study reading a book, this was his rare leisure time, there was no government affairs to deal with, he could concentrate on doing his favorite things and studying knowledge.

"Imperial grandfather!"

Yang Tan rushed into the imperial study like a gust of wind, and at this moment he was very anxious, and he couldn't care about the gentleness and respect that an imperial grandson should have.

"What's the matter?" Yang Guang hated being interrupted the most when he was reading, but he couldn't get angry with his grandson.

Yang Ju also realized that he was a little out of shape, he gathered his mind, slowly walked into the imperial study, bowed and saluted: "Grandson wants to ask, did the imperial grandfather order to let the guards have a holiday?" ”

Yang Guangyi shook his head in a daze: "I have never made this will, what happened?" ”

Yang Tan was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly said: "Sun Er went to the outer palace just now, and found that the guards were gone, and they said that it was a holy decree from the palace that made them all have a holiday, so everyone went to Jiangdu City." ”

"What!"

Yang Guang was shocked and angry, who dared to be so bold and dare to fake his holy decree He asked angrily: "Who is the holy decree?" ”

"Don't, don't you know?"

As soon as Yang's conversation fell, he heard someone outside shouting: "Stop, don't go forward!" ”

There were thirty personal guards around Yang Guang's Qilin Pavilion This is their voice, and then someone shouted outside: "Your Majesty, the minister is Shen Guang, something big is going to happen." ”

Yang Guang was shocked in his heart, stood up and walked to the window, only to see a painting boat parked by the imperial river dozens of steps away, and there was a person standing on the bank, it was Shen Guang.

Shen Guang also saw the figure of Yang Guang gathered in front of the window, and he shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, Yu Wenhua and want to rebel, he has colluded with Sima Dejiao and Chen Ling, the internal army has been transferred, and the outside is all his army, Your Majesty, let's go!" ”

Yang Guang's face changed greatly, and he said loudly: "Shen Aiqing can come up and speak." ”

Shen Guangfei rushed to the Qilin Pavilion and was taken into the imperial study by the guards, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the situation is extremely critical, I heard that it was General Yuwen Chengdu who came to help, and was surrounded by them, now there are not many guards outside, Your Majesty can leave from the imperial road, and it will be too late if you don't leave." ”

Yang Guang stood stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You just said that Yu Wenhua and?" ”

"Yes! The minister heard that Yu Wenhua has closed the Jiangdu City and is arresting officials and the royal family on a large scale, Your Majesty, let's go! ”

At this moment, there was a shouting of killing in the distance, coming from the Xuanwu Gate, Yang Guang couldn't sit still, he immediately ordered the guards: "You go and take the queen and Gao'er, as well as the princess, come to me immediately." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister met Princess Danyang just now, and he has already ordered someone to take her away."

Yang Guang nodded, "Then take the queen and Gao'er, go quickly!" ”

Several personal guards rushed away, listening to the continuous shouting and killing outside, Yang Guang was very nervous, he picked up the gold box containing the jade seal talisman, hesitated, and took out a small bottle from the drawer, put it close to his body, and walked quickly towards His Excellency Qilin, just walked to the courtyard, only to hear the distant 'boom! , There was a loud noise, this was the Xuanwu Gate was knocked open, and there was a scream all around.

"Holy Lord, get on the boat!" Shen Guang shouted anxiously.

This is a guard stumbling with arrows on his body, "Your Majesty, the rebels have entered the palace, the queen's bedroom has been surrounded, King Zhao... King Zhao was killed by Pei Qiantong. ”

Yang Guang screamed, and suddenly fainted, Shen Guang was flustered, and he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, so he carried Yang Guang onto the boat, Yang Hou also jumped on the boat, and the painting boat sailed along the royal river to the outside of the palace.

At this time, Sima Dejiao and Chen Ling had already led the army back, and the sky was dark, and tens of thousands of soldiers lit torches, illuminating the Jiangdu Palace as if it were day.

Yu Wenhua stood on the high platform and shouted: "We abolish the faint monarch and re-establish a new monarch, and I Yu Wenhua will lead everyone home!" ”

"Go home! Go home! Tens of thousands of people raised their arms and shouted.

Yu Wenhua and secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he followed the advice of the military advisor and could not stand on his own, now it seems that the soldiers just want to abolish the faint monarch and establish a new monarch, when he turned around, he couldn't help but be stunned when he didn't see Liu Qing's figure.

"Where is the military advisor?" Yu Wenhua asked.

"Report to Duke Xu, the military advisor is curious to lead the troops into the palace."

Yu Wenhua frowned, what was Liu Qing doing in such a hurry to enter the palace? He couldn't figure it out, did he want to go into the palace to get treasure?

In the Jiangdu Palace, the strategist Liu Qing hurriedly walked with hundreds of Yu Wenhua and his henchmen, he went to live in the palace where important royal families lived, such as Yang Lai, the king of Qi, and the son of Yang Jun, the king of Qin, the son of Yang Jun, the king of Shu, etc., were all under house arrest here, a total of more than a dozen people, guarded by special soldiers.

At this time, the guards guarding the gate had already run away, and there was no one to guard the royal family, Liu Qing had just led the army to the door, just when Yang Yuan, the king of Qi, rushed out, he saw Liu Qing at a glance, and suddenly Mu was surprised, "It's you!" Aren't you dead? ”

Liu Qing sneered, and a sword pierced Yang Yu's chest, Yang Lai screamed miserably, and pointed at Liu Qing, "You...... You..."fell to the ground and died, and I still don't understand.

Liu Qing drew his sword and ordered: "All the royal families, all killed, not a single one is left!" ”

Hundreds of people rushed into the side palace and killed all the dozen or so direct royal families who lived inside, leaving no one behind, Liu Qing ordered in a loud voice: "Don't disturb the queen, dare to rape and rob the robbers!" ”

Although Shen Guang had the intention to rescue Yang Guang, he was still a step late, and as soon as his painting boat sailed out of the Jiangdu Palace, it was discovered by the defenders, and tens of thousands of people surrounded the painting boat on both sides of the imperial river, and the waterway was also blocked by more than a dozen boats.

Yang Guang had already woken up, and the grief of losing his son made him unusually silent, and he silently watched the dense soldiers on both sides of the strait and the firelight that formed like an ocean, and couldn't help but sigh. Gas.

Shen Guang knelt down in front of him and cried: "If the minister can't save His Majesty, he deserves death." ”

Yang Guang smiled slightly, "Shen Aiqing, if I remember correctly, you should be Yang Yuanqing's person!" ”

"The minister is the general of the Fengzhou Army, and he is also the courtier of His Majesty."

Yang Guang sighed. Qi, took out a will from his arms, folded it and put it in the jade box, and handed the jade box to Shen Guang, "I know that you are skilled, you can escape from the encirclement, this box is the jade seal and military talisman of the Great Sui, and there is also a will I gave him, you bring it to Yang Yuanqing, let him pass it on to the king, or give it to my eldest grandson." ”

Shen Guang knew that Yang Guang would definitely not be able to escape, he was carrying the eldest grandson, and maybe there was hope, so he looked at Yang Tan again, "The minister can carry the imperial grandson and leave." ”

Yang Tan shook his head firmly, "If the grandson doesn't leave, the grandson and grandfather are together." ”

"!"

Yang Guang slapped Yang Tan hard and scolded: "I can die, but you can't die." ”

Yang Tan knelt down, "Grandson would rather die with the imperial grandfather!" ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Yang Guang said hello three times in a row, and said to Shen Guang: "Shen Aiqing, let's go!" The eldest grandson of the emperor and I guarded the society together. ”

Shen Guang was so helpless that he had to kowtow to Yang Guang three times, wrapped the jade box, tied it around his waist, and slipped into the river while it was night, and escaped from the river with his superb water nature.

At this time, Yang Yan walked out of the painting boat and shouted to the soldiers on both sides of the strait: "I am the emperor of the Great Sui, do you dare to commit rebellion?" ”

The 10,000 soldiers on the shore were silent, and no one responded, and Yang Guang shouted again: "If you lay down your arms, I will pardon you and make you high-ranking officials!" ”

The 10,000 soldiers were still silent, not one of them laid down their weapons, and everyone looked at him coldly.

At this time, Chen Ling walked out and said loudly: "Your Majesty has abandoned the temple and ignored it, and has been cruising outside all the year round, recklessly fighting outside the country, and building large-scale fortifications internally, which has never stopped for more than ten years, resulting in the death of strong men in the world by swordsmen, the death of weak women in ravines, the swarming of thieves, the lack of livelihood of the people, the barren villages, and the thousands of miles of red fields, is Your Majesty not guilty?" ”

Yang Guang was silent, and he said slowly: "I am guilty of the people of the world, but I am not thin on you, I can be killed by the people of the world, but I can't die under your sword." ”

Chen Ling shook his head and said: "There is no need to explain anymore, today Your Majesty must die to thank the world, and the ministers will support the emperor's eldest grandson and revitalize the Great Sui River." ”

Yang Guang had another glimmer of hope in his heart, "You promise not to kill my eldest grandson?" ”

Chen Ling knelt down, "The minister can swear to the sky!" ”

At this time, Yang Guang saw Yu Wenhuaji, and saw his cold eyes, he let out a long sigh in his heart, and then looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers and asked, "Do you all want me to die?" ”

None of the soldiers spoke, still holding bows and arrows aimed at him, Yang Guang smiled miserably, and took out a small bottle from his arms with trembling hands, Yang Tan was in a hurry, and rushed up to grab the bottle, "Imperial grandfather, you can't!" ”

Yang Guang gave the guards a look, and the guards understood what he meant, and together they held Yang Tan down, since the saint couldn't live, let him die with dignity.

Yang Guang stared at the bottle for a long time, and said to himself: "My life, let future generations comment on it!" ”

He drank it all at once, and all thoughts were ashes, and the bottle was 'dang! , falling to the ground.

There was silence on both sides of the river.

On August 16, the twelfth year of the great cause, Yu Wenhua and launched the Jiangdu mutiny, Yang Guang drank the dove and died, Yu Wenhua and immediately supported Yang Hou, the king of Yan, as the emperor, and respected Xiao Hou as the queen mother of Shengyuan, he proclaimed himself the prime minister, the prime minister, and named Sima Dejiao and Chen Ling as the left and right generals.
