Chapter 9: The Transformation of Renshou Palace (1)
Renshou Palace is located in the beautiful scenery of the upper reaches of Qizhou Sheshui, where the terrain is higher, the mountains are undulating, there are many ravines, the climate is cool, Renshou Palace is also Yang Jian's summer palace, almost every summer, he will come to Renshou Palace to take refuge in the summer office, and stay here for nearly half a year.
But this time he fell ill in Renshou Palace, after the death of Queen Dugu, Yang Jian suddenly lost his restraint, he began to indulge in wine, trying to make up for the lost imperial enjoyment in the past, but he was old after all, and in just two years, his body was hollowed out by wine, and this disease could no longer get up.
Yang Jian also knew that his time had come, he wept and said goodbye to the ministers one by one, and repeatedly told the prince Yang Guang to be self-denying and thrifty, and to treat the people of the world well, and Yang Guang also bowed to them one by one with tears.
In the room, Yang Guang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, he was very nervous, it was the most critical time, he was about to ascend the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the king of the world, he had been waiting for more than ten years on this day, and finally it was time to wait, Yang Guang closed his eyes, his heart was full of expectations, he had too many ambitions to achieve.
During this time, his father was seriously ill, Yang Guang personally served water and medicine, and served him without clothes, in addition, there were many things that he needed to do.
On the one hand, he had to deal with state affairs on behalf of his father, and on the other hand, he had to prepare, plan, and plan his father's treatment and even the huge and complicated state funeral matters.
More importantly, he also had to weigh, analyze, and find out the internal strife and psychology of the ministers of various factions, especially the deployment of force in various places, so as to prevent any accidents and chaos at the time of the great national mourning.
And his youngest brother Yang Liang has been recruiting troops and horses in the past few years, just waiting for his father to die, these things make Yang Guang exhausted, worried, lack of sleep for more than a month, his face is rapidly emaciated, and his eyes are bloodshot.
Beside him, sat his crown princess Xiao Yinfeng, Xiao Yinfeng is the daughter of Emperor Xiao Yue of Western Liang Xiaoming, born in the Chinese nationality, with a graceful personality and both talents and appearances, although she is thirty-seven years old at this time, she is still plump and beautiful.
She married Yang Guang as his wife since the opening of the emperor for three years, the husband and wife have lived together for twenty-one years, have two sons and a daughter, the husband and wife have a deep relationship, Yang Guang also loves his wife deeply, not close to other women, Xiao Yinfeng feels that her husband has too few heirs, unlike her brother Yang Yong, who gave birth to ten sons, especially her husband is already the prince and is about to inherit the unification, and too few heirs are not good for the society.
Under Xiao Yinfeng's hard persuasion, Yang Guang finally accepted a concubine, and she is currently four months pregnant, which makes Xiao Yinfeng quite happy.
She saw that her husband was mentally exhausted and seemed very nervous, so she poured a bowl of ginseng tea and put it in front of him, and persuaded him softly: "Erlang, it is the will of heaven to ascend the throne and call the emperor, but it is human for the father to be dying. ”
Yang Guang was grateful for his wife's thoughtfulness, patted the back of her hand gently, and sighed: "Although that's the case, but when my father is dying, it is also a time for the young to peep, how can I not be careful." ”
At this time, a eunuch hurriedly walked over and bowed down, "His Royal Highness Holy Xuan is here!" ”
Yang Guang nodded, straightened his clothes, walked out of the room quickly, and walked to the door, he remembered something again, and asked the attendants beside him, "Has King Jin arrived?" ”
The attendant hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is in Luoyang, and he has already gone to inform him, and it is estimated that he will arrive in the next two days." ”
"Send someone to urge him, let him hurry up, and King Yuzhang, let him come immediately."
King Yuzhang is Yang Guang's second son Yang Xuan, he didn't arrive, which made Yang Guang very unhappy, the eldest son came from Luoyang, and it was understandable that he was late, but Yang Mian was in the capital, why didn't he come for a long time?
He was worried that his father was in a hurry, so he hurried to his father's bedroom, Yang Guang lived in the Beidou Palace, far away from the Datong Hall where Yang Jian was, and his East Palace guards were all in the side hall at the foot of the mountain, and there were only four personal guards around him to protect his safety.
The defense of Renshou Palace was extremely tight, and the guards of the prince and the prince were not allowed to enter, but it was only because Yang Guang had lived in Renshou Palace for a long time that Emperor Yang Jian made an exception to allow four East Palace guards to protect his safety, and even so, these four guards were not allowed to leave the Beidou Palace.
The defense in the Renshou Palace is served by the left guard, and the six thousand left guard soldiers are on duty in six shifts, each shift is on duty for six hours, of course, there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops stationed outside the Renshou Palace, and the entire Renshou Palace area is defended like an iron bucket.
On the long corridor along the way, there were burly left guard soldiers, and people kept shouting, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!" ”
This is to remind the inner palace to avoid, Yang Guang walked to the steps of his father's bedroom, he stopped, at this time his father's concubines were all by the bed, he had to wait for them to retreat, get permission before entering, a moment, the eunuch Zhao Jinde came out and stepped forward to give Yang Guang a salute, "Your Highness, the Holy Lord announced that you are here!" ”
"Father-in-law Zhao, how is the situation in the Holy Lord?"
Zhao Jinde's expression was gloomy, and he shook his head, "The imperial doctor said that it may only be these two days." ”
Yang Guang was embarrassed in his heart, and walked towards the palace with heavy steps.
In front of the dragon couch, Yang Jian's concubines have all retreated, only a few eunuchs serve around, Yang Jian is as thin as bones at this time, his face is like gold paper, and when the oil runs out and the lamp is dry, he doesn't even have the strength to speak, closes his eyes, and quietly waits for that moment to come.
People are dying, Yang Jian's mind in the past two days is all about his relatives who have passed away, his parents, his Ajali, and his old wife who have lived with him for decades, but he is still not at ease, the Great Sui River and Mountain he created has just been established, and there are still too many major events that have not been dealt with, these major events are dangerous and abnormal, and a carelessness will bring down the country he created, he has been in power for more than 20 years, and has never been able to start, and finally can only hand over these things to his son.
"Your Majesty! The prince has arrived. A eunuch gently reminded him in his ears.
Yang Jian opened his eyes weakly, and saw his son Yang Guang kneeling in front of him, his face full of tears, he raised his hand slightly, stroked his son's face, smiled lovingly, and said in a low voice: "Idiot, I want to go to see your mother, this is a good thing!" ”
Yang Guang held his father's hand, tears poured down, and finally he cried bitterly, "Father! ”
Yang Jian's mind was unusually clear at this time, and he said in a low voice: "I still have a few words to explain to you, tell them to step down!" ”
Yang Guang nodded, and said to the eunuchs and palace maids around him: "You all retreat!" ”
More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids retreated, and only Yang Guang was left in the dormitory, Yang Guang choked up and said: "Father, sons, listen to the father's admonition." ”
Yang Jian sighed and said slowly: "Since the Yongjia Rebellion, the Southern and Northern Dynasties have changed one after another, and none of them have a good beginning and an end, I thought that Wei could last for a long time, but only a hundred years and was replaced by Zhou Qi, Emperor Xiaowen in the past also wanted to reform, but went astray, so that the wind of the gate valve rose again, Yuwentai built the Guanlong Gate Valve, and finally established the country, but it was still destroyed in the hands of the Gate Valve, the world's cancer, nothing more than the Gate Valve, the poison of the Gate Valve is none other than Guan Long, I have been in power for 20 years, and I have never been able to help them, the Emperor, the Guanlong Gate Valve is the first trouble of my Great Sui's henchmen, remember! ”
Yang Guang nodded silently, he knew this very well in his heart, "Erchen has decided that after Erchen takes power, he will move the capital as soon as possible and move the center of the imperial court out of Guanlong." ”
"I also want to move the capital, but there are too many elbows, and the emperor must be cautious and cautious, and not too hasty."
Sighing, Yang Jian said in a low voice: "The second trouble in the Great Sui is the old land of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Hu and Han are mixed, most of them are the descendants of the six towns, and the fierce wind is still there, these people do not obey the indoctrination, and they will rise up in an uprising when they encounter wind and rain, you must be extremely careful, treat them well, be lenient to the people, and don't give them an excuse to raise troops." ”
Yang Guang didn't quite agree with his father's idea, in his opinion, leniency and benevolence only delayed the contradictions, even if he was not chaotic when he was in power, then what about the future? What about his children and grandchildren? It has been a hundred years since the Six Towns, and the strong wind is still there, so it can be seen that it is not that education can solve the problem, the best way is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and kill these descendants of the Six Towns, leaving no future troubles, but he dare not say this.
Yang Jian said again: "The third problem of the Great Sui is the northern captives of the grassland, the Turks have always been the heart of the Central Plains, the Yongjia Rebellion is also caused by the Northern Hu, once the grassland is cold, the Northern Hu will inevitably go south, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui, it was almost wiped out by the Turks, although the people of Qimin are supported by the Great Sui, but the Hu people are changeable, not gullible, must be rigid and soft at the same time, strengthen defense, Changsun Sheng and Pei Ju are both Hu Liangchen, you can reuse it." ”
Yang Guang nodded, "Erchen remembers it in his heart. ”
Yang Jian let out a long sigh, "I think about the shortness of Qin, and think about the four hundred years of Han, I feel a lot, Qin rule the country by law, rape and not benevolence, so that the world is in chaos, the early Han Dynasty to Lao Zhuang inaction and rule, Emperor Wu and Confucianism to be prosperous, and finally achieve long-term stability, emperor, you have to remember, the law to govern people, Confucianism to govern the heart, this is the way of the Han rule of law, is the foundation of my great Sui long-term stability, I rule like the beginning of the Han Dynasty, has made the country rich and the people strong, I hope you can become the Wu Emperor of the Han Dynasty, realize the prosperity of the Great Sui, complete the unfinished business, drive out the Hulu, Restoration of Han rule. ”
Yang Guang kowtowed to his father twice, "The words of my father's emperor Jin Yu are remembered by my sons." ”
Yang Jian held Yang Guang's hand and gasped hard: "And your brothers, you have to treat them well, although your eldest brother is useless, you can give him wealth and old age, this is the only thing I ask you to do." ”
Yang Guang wept and said: "Erchen An dares to forget the relationship between brothers and sisters, and without the instructions of his father, Erchen will treat them well." ”
After a pause, Yang Guang asked again: "Father, do you want to see your eldest brother?" I sent for him. ”
Yang Jian smiled with relief, "You just have to have this heart, I have asked Liu Shu and Yuan Yan to pick him up, it should be almost there!" ”
Speaking of this, Yang Jian suddenly coughed violently, Yang Guang hurriedly called the eunuch to come in to serve, Yang Jian waved his hand, "You go!" I'm tired and want to rest for a while. ”
"Yes! The retainers retired. ”
Yang Guang slowly retreated, at this time he saw the skirt under the screen flying, this is Chen Guiren walked in from the side door, he hurriedly accelerated to retreat, but gave a little eunuch a look, he retreated, soon, Chen Guiren walked in, Chen Guiren is also the sister of the queen of Chen, after the fall of the Chen Dynasty, she did not enter the palace, she looks like the country, Yang Jian likes it, but Queen Dugu is strict, Yang Jian can not succeed, after Queen Dugu died, Chen Guiren immediately got favored, although she was in her early thirties at this time, but the charm still exists, Yang Jian is seriously ill, and she has been waiting by her side.
She saw that Yang Jian was coughing badly, so she hurriedly gently patted him on the back and smoothed his chest, Yang Jian slowly calmed down, and she complained a little: "Your Majesty, why are you talking so much to the prince, you want to rest, doesn't he know?" ”
Yang Jian liked this young wife very much, he smiled and said: "I want to say a few more words to the prince, he is very filial and considerate of me, not what you think." ”
Chen Guiren dislikes Yang Guang very much, she grew up in the deep palace of the Chen Dynasty since she was a child, and the education she received is all in an orderly manner, and the elders are the first, she is extremely dissatisfied with the abolition of the second son of Changli, and more importantly, it was Yang Guang who led the army to destroy the Chen Dynasty, so that she always had a trace of hostility towards Yang Guang in her heart.
"Your Majesty, the concubines feel that the eldest son Yong is more generous and merciful, and Your Majesty should not abolish the heir easily."
Yang Jian sighed, "When is it, you still say such stupid things." ”
"But..... The concubine felt that as long as His Majesty had a heart, he would be able to come at any time. ”
"Say no more!" Yang Jian shook his head tiredly, "The crown prince is the foundation of the country, how can he move lightly, I just want to talk to the eldest son one last time, so as to make the father and son happy." ”
Yang Jian didn't want to speak anymore, closed his eyes, Chen Guiren had to sit on the side, she was worried, once the saint died, what should she do?
