Turbulent Times Chapter 637: Crazy and stupid

Wang Junlin immediately mobilized 300 masters from internal and external officials, and 5,000 troops to encircle and suppress, but it was still a step too late, and the three places were already empty. Two wealthy businessmen and one honorable man, but the whole family of these three people has disappeared without a trace, and the clues have been completely broken.

Compared to Wang Junlin, Yuwen Chengdu and Mai Tiezhang led people around to arrest Yang Yong, Gao Ying and Liu Shu's remnants, which was very effective. Except for Gao Ying who disappeared, Yang Yong and Liu Shu were all found.

…

…

Wang Junlin is summoning Shen Guang, Jing Tian, ​​Ye Ying, and Wei Ziqi at his home, telling them to keep a low profile and not to participate in the search for the remnants of the traitors, and to secretly accumulate financial resources and silently expand their power.

Suddenly the butler Zhang Jinzhong ran in and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, General Tianbao, please see me."

"Lead him into the living room, and I'll come later." Wang Junlin ordered with a flash of his eyes.

After Steward Zhang left, Wang Junlin ordered a few more words to let all his confidants leave in disguise through the back door, go to their own business, and then go to see Yuwen Chengdu.

"Junior brother, I found the deposed prince, but the deposed prince developed a heart attack and became a lunatic. His Royal Highness asked me to invite you to take a look!" Yu Wencheng directly explained his intention when they met.

"Did Yang Yong pretend to be crazy in order to survive? This kind of thing is not uncommon in history. It may work if he meets other people, but it may not work for Yang Guang!" Wang Junlin shook his head and thought to himself.

"Senior brother, how did the deposed prince get sick? What kind of illness does he have?" Wang Junlin showed a meaningful smile at Yuwen Chengdu, and asked casually, "He may set fire to things, but I'm afraid Don't hurt yourself!"

Yu Wencheng shook his head and said: "I didn't harm myself, but I really wanted to set fire to the house, but I was stopped by someone. The most important thing is that when I found him, he was ill. He took off his clothes and was in the hospital. No one can stop me from running around naked. I have never understood the disease, and I can’t tell if it’s true or not. After reporting it to the prince, the prince asked me to take a look.”

Wang Junlin thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "I won't go."

"Junior brother, this is what the prince means, why don't you go?" Yu Wencheng frowned with surprise on his face.

"Brother! You may not understand what His Royal Highness means. If you understand what he means, you will understand that I really have nothing to go?" Wang Junlin explained.

Wang Junlin knew that he was visiting the doctor for consultation, and he couldn't tell whether Yang Yong was crazy or not, but whether it was true or not, the final judgment was not up to him, Yang Guang, who said you were crazy. Really crazy, if you say you are pretending to be crazy, you are pretending to be crazy.

And Yang Guang asked Wang Junlin to visit Yang Yong by name, just to imply that he would find a way to kill Yang Yong, but at the same time he could be concerned about Yang Guang's reputation.

Yu Wencheng was thoughtful, and after a while, he suddenly said: "I understand, His Majesty is about to ascend the throne, and reputation is very important at this time. Then according to the younger brother, how to deal with this matter."

Wang Junlin knew that Yang Guang had given instructions, so he couldn't ignore it, so he thought about it for a while and said, "I'll give senior brother a poison, put some in the food of the deposed prince every day, and after a month, The deposed prince will have a fever, just like a cold, and eventually die of illness."

Yu Wencheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said: "The younger brother is really smart, no wonder His Royal Highness asked me to come to you."

Speaking like this, Yu Wencheng has already made up his mind, not only to poison Yang Yong's food, but also to poison Yang Yong's heirs, and at that time, they will infect each other and die.

Obviously, Yang Jian told Yang Guang not to kill Yang Yong before he died.

As for Liu Shu, Yang Guang gritted his teeth and set the punishment result: in front of all the civil and military officials, after clearly revealing his serious crimes such as treason, he would be punished by beheading him in half, and his three clans would be exterminated at the same time. The punishment is not insignificant.

…

…

The city is full of plains and white, just like a heavy snowfall in the scorching heat of July and August. Not real snow, just white cloth, white paper, white lights, white hangings, white lanterns.

The vast expanse of whiteness is really clean, which makes people have all kinds of thoughts and worries.

After the news of His Majesty's death came out, the people of Kyoto were more or less affected. It is often the case that people only think of his good after his death. No matter what kind of person Yang Jian was before he was alive, whether he really thought about the livelihood of the people, at least when he established the Great Sui and ruled the Great Sui for more than 20 years, the life of the people of the Great Sui was still difficult, but it was The happiest time since the troubled times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

That's why there are still some sad voices in Kyoto these days.

The emperor was assassinated in the palace by the deposed prince Yang Yong in collusion with the rebels Gao Ying, Liu Shu and others. Regardless of whether the people really believed it or doubted it, this is the truth in itself, and it is what Yang Guang wanted to tell the people of the Sui Dynasty the truth.

Whether it is for the sake of fame or from the heart, Yang Guang turned the capital into a white world before the day when the whole country mourned.

After everyone got used to it, they started to worry about it.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, who was barely a good emperor, passed away. What will be the...

Collapse after turmoil? Is it a rebirth from the ashes after a smooth succession?

Searching for stability out of fear, one's mind is settled. The vast majority of people turned their attention to the dragon chair in the Tianyuan Hall, eagerly hoping that the crown prince Yang Guang would ascend the throne as soon as possible and stabilize the government of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Whether it is the status of the crown prince or the ability he has shown, it seems natural that the crown prince Yang Guang should inherit the throne. This is what many people think. Years later, almost half of the hundreds of millions of people in the Sui Dynasty died, and I don't know what to think...

According to the old customs in the Guanzhong area, there is a brass basin, and some paper money used by people in the market are burning in the basin. The yellow paper money gradually burned to ashes, as if it was a sign of the impermanence of life, no matter how glorious a life is, it will only turn into a cloud of smoke and ashes in the end.

Yang Guang and the eldest princess Yang Lihua, together with Princess Xiangguo and Princess Guangping, as well as the princes and grandchildren such as Yang Zhao and Yang Hao, plus Mrs. Xuanhua and other concubines of Yang Jian knelt on the ground in grief or confusion , or helpless, or pretending to cry.
