Turbulent Times Chapter 863: It’s not what it used to be
All the officials and servants in the imperial tent felt terrified, they got up quickly and bowed to greet them.
Yang Guang walked in from the other door of the giant tent with a smile on his face, followed by the nine-year-old grandson Yang Tan, who was sitting on the left side of Yang Guang. Wang Junlin's eyes lit up, Shen Guoer was dressed as a maid, and she was standing right behind Yang Tan. It could be seen that Yang Tan listened to his father, Yang Zhao, and trusted the people sent by Wang Junlin. Of course, it was mainly because Shen Guoer was smart and easy to do. If it weren't for her different status, she would have wished to be called Sister Guoer all day long, so she would take her with her wherever she went, and as the grandson of the emperor, even Yang Tan You can also bring Guo'er with you at banquets held widely.
Today's banquet, although it was in the wild, was no worse than in the palace. Yang Guang seemed to have forgotten the assassination during the day, with the theme of the increase in profits and taxes in Yongzhou in recent years, and the prosperity of the country and the people of the Sui Dynasty.
Although he is a nine-year-old boy, in this era, people can get married at the age of twelve, so the emperor's grandson Yang Tan was also instructed by Yang Guang to toast the ministers and say the toast. When Yang Tan toasted Wang Junlin, Wang Junlin took the opportunity A note was handed to Shen Guoer, who took a chance to read it, then found an excuse and slipped out quietly.
Wang Junlin was always worried when he saw that Guoer had incurred a huge bill. After all, it was a matter of losing his head. Catch it, the consequences will be disastrous.
However, it didn't take long, just a cup of tea, and Shen Guoer came back.
Wang Junlin was relieved to see that Shen Guoer came back intact, but at the same time, he thought that he must have failed in such a short time, so he couldn't help thinking: "If you fail, you will fail! There should be no mistakes in the arrangements, and there are remedies. At worst, I will try my best to let the people from Feihuzhuang escape to the Western Regions. If I want to come to my elder brother, Sha Qianmo, the leader of the Zhaowu Kingdom, the second largest power in the Western Regions, should give me this. Save face, help take care of them, and some generals from Feihuzhai, such as Shangguanhu in Zhangye County, should inform them to escape as soon as possible, but they don't have to go so far to Zhaowu Kingdom. Wu Si has now become a Shaqianmo Afterwards, the second horse thief king in the Western Regions, at worst, let them join the gang.
Just when Wang Junlin was thinking about how to arrange the retreat, He Feng suddenly walked in from the side door with an extremely ugly expression, came to Yang Guang and whispered something, the smile on Yang Guang's face suddenly disappeared. Save, and scolded: "Useless things, even a few living people can't look down."
Yang Guang is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he considers himself the master of the world, and he will not suppress his voice in front of his courtiers, so many people in the audience heard his scolding of He Feng. After Wang Junlin was stunned, he was very happy , glanced at Shen Guoer, who had a smug face on his small face, and found that Wang Junlin was looking at her, and even made a playful grimace.
…
…
Because Yang Guang's mood turned sour, the banquet ended hastily. Wang Junlin and all his ministers left the giant tent and were about to return to their own tents when they heard someone calling him. Wang Junlin really liked the little emperor's grandson, he laughed, and said in a warm voice: "Your Highness just had something to say when toasting the minister, what else do you want to say to the minister?"
"Qin An Gong, please come here!"
Yang Tan brought Wang Junlin to his tent, and asked the servants and guards to retreat three feet away. Shen Guoer was guarding the tent door, but then he suddenly knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Please Uncle, save me!"
When Yang Zhao was the King of Jin, Wang Junlin often went to the Jin Palace. Later, when Yang Zhao became the prince, Wang Junlin did not go to the East Palace many times, but there were several times. Yang Zhao always ordered his three sons to treat Wang Junlin As uncle, the three little emperors and grandsons did call him that when no one was around. Wang Junlin was different from the common people, and he didn't have the slightest reverence for the royal family, so he accepted it calmly. Yang Tan helped him up, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, what happened!"
Yang Tan stood up and said with tears: "Uncle, when he left Beijing, my father said that he might not live for two months."
Wang Junlin's face changed slightly, and he lost his voice: "This...how is it possible..."
But he suddenly remembered that Yang Zhao seemed to have died of illness this year in history, but he looked okay when he saw Yang Zhao recently, so he forgot about it for a while.
"Uncle, my father said when I left Beijing with my imperial grandfather that when he died of illness, King Qi entered the East Palace and would kill my brother. I hope that Uncle will save my brother's life for my father's sake." .”
Yang Tan was able to read at the age of two, and began to read at the age of three. He was extremely smart and mature, so he was favored by Yang Guang, and he was specially allowed to study in his imperial study.
For a long time, Qi Wang Yang Hao has been quite disrespectful to his elder brother Yang Zhao, and has repeatedly slandered him. Yang Tan hates Qi Wang deeply and has contradicted him several times. Killing the three brothers frightened Yang Tan all the time, and he didn't dare to tell his grandfather that Yang Zhao actually begged Yang Guang to take Yang Tan with him when he left Beijing this time, and asked him to find a chance to meet Wang Junlin and let Wang Junlin leave the capital. shelter them.
Wang Junlin also knows that Yang Guang protects the calf, and he is more tolerant towards Yang Hao. In addition, Empress Xiao loves Yang Hao. Last time, he tried his best to confirm the fact that Yang Guang sent people to assassinate Yang Zhao, but In the end, it was nothing. Yang Guang just sent people to kill a batch of servants of Prince Qi's mansion, and did not pursue Yang Hao himself. It can be seen that after Yang Zhao's death, it was inevitable for Yang Hao to enter the East Palace.
"Why didn't Yang Zhao tell Yang Guang that he couldn't live for two months, instead he deliberately found a way to let the eldest son Yang Tan accompany Yang Guang on the west tour?"
"Yang Zhao has a gentle personality, but in fact he has a good mind. He must have a deep meaning in doing so."
"Perhaps he wanted Yang Guang to associate his death with Yang Hao who also stayed in Beijing, so that Yang Guang might not make Yang Hao the prince when he was furious, and Yang Guang is now In his forties, there is nothing wrong with his body, and when Yang Tan grows up, it is not impossible to make the emperor's grandson the crown prince."
These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. Wang Junlin already understood Yang Zhao's arrangement and meaning. Of course, there is a key point in these arrangements and meaning. Survive under all kinds of persecution, and can live to become a crown prince, or even become an emperor. This requires the protection of a powerful person. Obviously, the powerful person Yang Zhao likes is Wang Junlin.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Junlin suddenly had an urge to kill Yang Tan, then Yang Guang, and then directly make Yang Tan emperor, completely changing the history of the Sui Dynasty.
