Chapter 1231

Xiao Dong listened to Wang Xiaoyu talk about the old things of the Sui Dynasty in the past, and thought to himself that there were many absurdities in this little girl's words, and they couldn't be true. However, she has a very good memory, and she can even remember the titles and names of Yang Yong's sons, but this ability is not small. Thinking that she was quite interested in this matter, I don't know how many times she heard it before she could remember it so clearly.

I only heard Wang Xiaoyu say: "Among the founding generals of the Sui Dynasty, Gao Gong is the most virtuous and respected, and he is the minister that Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, relies on the most. Yang Jian once praised Gao Gong in public for his civil and military strategy, understanding of world affairs, self-entrustment, dedication, and a minister who can be entrusted with state affairs. Yang Guang killed his father and deceived his mother and usurped the throne, although there was a lot of uproar, but there was no real evidence, although Gao Gong was suspicious, he did not dare to act rashly. After Yang Guang became the emperor, although he killed many of the Yang family's children and slaughtered Yang Yong's cronies and ministers in the court, he respected Gao Gong, Yu Wenbi and other old ministers very much. He was the crown prince personally elected by Yang Jian, and he was justifiably the emperor. Gao Gong and others couldn't catch Yang Guang's usurpation, so they had to surrender to Yang Guang. It's just that these people are scheming people, and they know that Yang Guang is violent and dare not offend him. On weekdays, he lives in his own mansion, for fear of being killed by Yang Guang with an excuse.

It's just that Yang Guang bought the Turks with a huge amount of gold and silver, but Gao Gong and others didn't think so. He once said to Yuwenbi and others that the Turkic wolf has ambitions and has been watching the Central Plains. This captivity is quite aware of China's virtual reality, and the mountains and rivers are dangerous and easy. Buying them with gold, silver, cloth and silk to prevent them from violating the border is like cutting meat and feeding tigers, and it will be a disaster for the future of the Great Sui. He Ruobi, another founder of the Sui Dynasty, also discussed in private, saying that Yang Guang was too weak to the Turks, which broke the morale of the Central Plains and grew the prestige of the barbarians, and would inevitably sow disaster.

Yang Guang received a secret report, saying that Gao Gong, Yu Wenbi, He Ruobi and other ministers were talking about the government behind their backs, and they had the intention of rebelling. There was a minister who was a general of Gao Gong's subordinates, and he disobeyed the military order in the battle formation, and was almost beheaded by Gao Gong for public display. This person has always been jealous of Gao Yong in his heart, and took the opportunity to slander him that Gao Gong and the abolished prince Yang Yong have always been friends, and he has always been dissatisfied with Yang Yong's death. once threatened that one day, he would avenge Yang Yong.

Yang was shocked. He knew very well that Gao Gong and others were all famous generals who could conquer and fight habitually, and they were deeply supported by the people. If these people rebelled, Yang Su alone would definitely not be their opponent. These generals must be killed to get rid of the troubles. It was a big case of Yang Guang and Xing, and Gao Gong, Yu Wenbi, and He Ruobi were executed on the charge of rebellion. Gao Gong's son was exiled to a wild land, the wives and daughters of Yu Wenbi and He Ruobi were demoted to slaves, and another famous minister, Su Wei, was implicated in this case and was demoted to a commoner. After this case, dozens of famous ministers and generals died tragically, all of which were committed by Yang Guang.

"Maybe Yang Guang has done too many evils, in the first year of his ascension to the throne and emperor, the capital Chang'an has been rumored to have evil spirits wandering outside the palace at night. These demons seem to want to enter the palace, but they are blocked by the door god and cannot enter the palace gate. Later, some people said that they had seen the faces of those evil ghosts, and they turned out to be Yang Jian, Yang Yong, Yang Jun, Yang Xiu, Yang Liang and others. ”

Li Qiufeng and Xiao Dong breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Wang Xiaoyu say this, thinking that this little girl had been talking for a long time, and she was finally going to get to the point. Murong Danyan shook his head and said, "There were no ghosts in the world. Nine times out of ten, the people of Chang'an City were sad that Yang Jian's father and son were killed by Yang Guang, so they pretended to be ghosts and gods to vent their dissatisfaction with Yang Guang. ”

Li Qiufeng secretly thought that Miss Murong was right. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched the Battle of Jingjing, and after attacking Nanjing, he killed the courtiers of Emperor Jianwen. Later, when he moved the capital to Beijing, there were legends among the people that he killed him too much, and every night, the ghosts of Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others who were killed by him went to Zhu Di's bedroom to cry. Zhu Di was so frightened that he didn't dare to live in Nanjing, so he had to move the capital to Beijing. Further along, in order to seize the throne, Tang Taizong Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, killed his elder brother Li Jiancheng and younger brother Li Yuanji, and killed their wives and children cleanly. It's just that he slaughtered his brother and killed his brother, and he was extremely uneasy in his heart. Although he became the emperor, there were guards outside the palace gate every night, but he also heard ghosts crying from time to time. Whenever he closed his eyes, he saw Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, his wife and children, standing in front of the couch with blood all over their bodies and begging for his life. Later, when the generals Chi Jingde and Qin Shubao heard about this, they immediately put on their helmets and stood at the door of Li Shimin's bedroom every night to keep vigil for him, so that they could sleep peacefully. Later, he was afraid that the two generals would be too tired, so he invited the painter Wu Daozi to paint the portraits of Yu Chi Jingde and Qin Shubao, and pasted them on the palace gate, so that he could sleep with peace of mind. And Yu Chi Jingde and Qin Shubao have also become the door gods of folklore, every year in the first month, the people will paste the portraits of these two people on the door to avoid ghosts and gods. But these are just legends, in the final analysis, these emperors will kill each other too much, and they owe too much in their hearts. As the saying goes, there are thoughts in the day and dreams in the night. And the people used these ghosts and gods to vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

I only heard Wang Xiaoyu say: "At that time, Chang'an had a curfew every night, and ordinary people didn't know that the Yang family had become evil ghosts and were haunting the capital. But the night guards occasionally encounter these evil spirits. Every time the evil spirit appeared, some soldiers died tragically, and the story spread. Some scoundrels didn't believe it, so they made an appointment to go and see the excitement. As a result, I really met an evil spirit. Within three days, more than 20 people died at the hands of evil spirits. According to the legends of the soldiers and scoundrels who escaped with their lives, there were one hundred and seven of these evil spirits, and among them was a giant ghost, more than two feet tall, riding on a strange horse full of flesh and skin, full of skeletons, and was faintly the head of the group of ghosts. The giant ghost was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, and it was Yang Jian, the emperor of Daxing, who had died. He had a hideous face and a wishful hand. Some soldiers claimed to have seen the giant ghost smash open the heavenly spirit cover of the living with wishful thinking and suck the brain. Among the other one hundred and six evil ghosts, in addition to Yang Yong, Yang Jun, Yang Xiu, Yang Liang and other children of the Yang family, it was Gao Gong, Yu Wenbi, He Ruobi and other famous generals who were killed by Yang Guang. These one hundred and seven evil ghosts came through the fog, went with the clouds, and haunted Chang'an City every night. The people in the city called it 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk', and for a time the clouds in Chang'an City were gloomy, and everyone was in danger.

Soon after the appearance of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, Yang Guang's confidant Yang Su fell ill and died. It is said that on the night of Yang Su's death, the city of Chang'an was covered with dark clouds and fog, and there was no one within three feet. Yang Su was drinking with several cronies and ministers in the hall when a black mist suddenly poured into the courtyard. The servants of the Yang Mansion had long heard about the nocturnal movement of the hundred ghosts, and they often talked about it behind their backs, saying that Yang Su supported Yang Guang as the emperor, and he must have been disliked by Yang Jian, Yang Yong and others. Now that the father and son of the Yang family have turned into ghosts, I am afraid that they will not let Yang Su go. These servants had long been worried in their hearts, and when they saw the black mist suddenly appear, the situation was extremely strange, and these servants shouted and fled in all directions.

Yang Su was born as a military general, and he was extremely arrogant, and he was already three points drunk, although he saw this black fog strangely, he was not afraid, turned around and pulled out his sword from the weapon rack, and pointed at the black mist and shouted loudly. I saw countless figures standing in the black fog, crying or laughing, the situation was extremely strange. The ministers who accompanied Yang Su to drink were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads when they fell to the ground. After a while, the black mist suddenly dispersed, but I saw more than 100 people standing in the courtyard, among which there was a giant riding on a skeleton horse, holding Ruyi, it was Yang Jian, the deceased Emperor Wen of Sui.

"Yang Su has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, but he has always been in awe of Yang Jian. At this time, seeing Yang Jian turn into a giant ghost, he thought that he wanted to seek revenge on himself, and he was so frightened that his face was pale. In addition to Yang Jian, Yang Yong, Yang Jun, Yang Xiu, Yang Liang, Gao Gong, Yu Wenbi, He Ruobi and others who were killed by him and Yang Guang all had hideous faces, gathered in the courtyard, just watching Yang Su laugh wildly. Among them, Yang Yong, who was forced to hang himself, had a white silk around his neck, his eyes were white, his tongue was sticking out, and he kept staring at Yang Su with a sympathetic smile. When Yang Su saw this situation, Rao was conceited and brave, but he was also shocked.

The servants of the Yang Mansion who escaped from the courtyard hid in all directions, some squatted behind the water tank, some hid in the grass, and some climbed into trees and covered themselves with branches and leaves. These people heard the strange wind howling in the courtyard, mixed with the sound of Yang Su talking to people. It's just that Yang Su's voice became very strange at this time, sometimes pleading, sometimes justifying, and sometimes crying. The servants of the Yang Mansion had never heard Yang Su speak like this, and they became more and more frightened in their hearts, so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound. ”
