Chapter 1352 The Long Night

Wang Yan confirmed the secret seal on the cover sent by the Prince's Mansion, opened it and confirmed Yang Guang's handwriting and Yang Guang's personal seal.

That is Yang Guang's name, as well as patterns of auspicious animals, flowers and plants.

By the way, this chapter was carved by Wang Yan. After all, gifts should be thoughtful. Yang Guang has everything except thoughtfulness. Nothing can be more thoughtful than someone like Wang Yan who personally works hard and puts in some thought.

I still remember that when Yang Guang received this topaz seal, he was very happy, but Yu Wenzhi, who gave the gift together with him, was very disgusted.

The above content is also simple, without any reason, only the instruction "Quickly lead your troops to put on armor and come to the palace to guard."

Under the watchful eyes of the people from the Prince's Mansion, Wang Yan took out a whistle from his pocket, walked outside the yard and started blowing it.

As the tense and rapid whistle sounded, the mansion began to move.

The maids in the yard were at a loss, but the men in the mansion who were talking or working in groups of three or four, after being stunned for a moment, exchanged glances with each other, and then ran nervously to the warehouse at home.

The sounds of cursing and shouting also spread from the front yard to the back yard.

After a while, Xiao Mei came out with a few maids and a big box, carrying the eight-sided Han sword that she had obtained from the Chen Kingdom's treasury.

When he opened the box, he saw shiny metallic, glossy armor and combat boots inside.

Several maids and servants worked together swiftly to put armor on Wang Yan, and Xiao Mei also hung the Han sword on her belt.

Wang Yan rubbed Xiao Mei's delicate face and said, "Take the people to guard the house. No one is allowed to open the door. Anyone who breaks in will be killed without mercy."

After saying that, Wang Yan put on his helmet and strode out.

Xiao Mei didn't say a word of nonsense from beginning to end...

When he led the people from the Prince's Mansion to the front yard, the courtyard was already filled with murderous intent. All the men in the family were armed with armor, spears, bows and crossbows, looking majestic.

All the men in Old Wang's family are soldiers. They train and do the rough and heavy work at home on weekdays. The family has legal and compliant weapons and armor, which were all made by Wang Yan himself and the court. They are very sophisticated and can be fully armed when needed.

"Choose thirty people to follow me, and the rest of you should listen to Second Madam and guard the house."

Wang Yan took the lance handed over by his men, turned around and took his men to the boss's stable, mounted a BMW, and rode straight out of the mansion gate.

The thirty knights behind them, as well as the people from the Prince's Mansion, rushed into the half-opened imperial city and went directly to the East Palace.

Wang Yan held the Han sword with one hand, and the armor plates fluttered with a rustling sound as he walked with the steps of a dragon and a tiger. He came inside and saw the anxious Yang Guang, as well as Yang Su, Yu Wenzhi and others.

"How many people did you bring?" Yang Guang asked first.

"thirty."

Yang Guang nodded and said, "Father wants to depose me and let my elder brother be the crown prince again. What do you think, Ziyan?"

"Your Highness, I have always followed your orders. When your Highness said to put on armor and enter the imperial city, I brought my troops with me. Why should I wait and see? I will do whatever your Highness says."

"it is good."

Yang Guang nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered Yuwen Huaji, "Let Yuwen Chengdu take action."

Yu Wenzhi responded, then walked out quickly and arranged for Yu Wenchengdu to mobilize troops.

Yuwen Chengdu has also been promoted in recent years and is in charge of the imperial guards, which is quite useful. Of course, the troops under Yang Guang's control are more than just these.

Even the forces that Wang Yan could mobilize were not only those at home. After all, he also had old subordinates. The troops stationed in the capital were rotated. He brought up such rootless officers, who were scattered to various troops. There were always people who wanted to go to Daxing, so he could also pull out a force of more than a thousand people.

No more would do. The troops he led were still too small and he didn't have enough old subordinates.

Of course, the troops he led were of higher quality. He could get five or six out of ten, but others could only get two or three out of ten...

While preparing, Wang Yan also learned the whole story.

Just like in the original drama, Gao Jiong and others always thought that Yang Guang was not good enough and wanted to bring him down. They did find some problems, but they were all minor ones. This time, Princess Yu went to see Yang Jian and found out that Yang Jian was poisoned. She learned that it was Yang Guang who had been poisoning Yang Jian, and then told Yang Jian about it.

Yang Jian was furious and tried to find Yang Su, whom he trusted, to depose Yang Guang. However, he did not expect that Yang Su had been on the same page with Yang Guang.

Or even if they were not of the same mind, at this time, the dying emperor and the healthy prince, Yang Su would take the secret decree to Yang Guang to show his loyalty.

It can only be said that Yang Jian was poisoned by his good son and had lost his mind, and he chose the wrong person. In fact, the people Yang Jian should have looked for were Gao Jiong and others. This group of people still had strong power, but they lacked military power.

But it was only until dawn, and the military power controlled by Yang Guang was useless, after all, Yang Jian was not really dead. At that time, Yang Guang wanted to take a big move, which was basically equivalent to the prince's rebellion.

Yang Guang had to do so, otherwise he would die. He had to do it to save his own life.

But it's better than the current situation. Yang Guang controls the gates of the palace and has to send troops in to seal off the imperial city. Many problems can be solved in one night, but by dawn, everything is too late to save the situation...

Inside the house, Yang Guang discussed with Yang Su and others how to finish the matter after it was accomplished, and who should be called over and other issues.

Wang Yan said nothing, and sat down below Yang Guang, drinking tea and eating cakes. He didn't need to say anything, just doing his job was enough.

He didn't even have to do anything, just stand beside Yang Guang and his contribution would be no less than anyone else's.

After all, Yang Guang had so many people under his command. At this time, when looking for someone to protect his safety, the first person Yang Guang called was Wang Yan. This was the trust he showed.

This was of course the result of Wang Yan's loyalty over the past decade. It was also the result of his decisive actions today. As he said, he would do whatever he was told to do.

Having Wang Yan by his side gave Yang Guang a great sense of security. If he succeeded, he could become emperor. If he failed, Wang Yan could also protect him and retreat. Whether he went to Bingzhou or Yangzhou, with Wang Yan as an invincible commander and general, Yang Guang had the capital to make a comeback wherever he went.

Everyone in the room looked at Wang Yan differently. The nature of the current situation was different. They all knew that after today, Wang Yan was destined to enter the core of power of the Sui Dynasty.

In the midst of the intense tension, they were already thinking about how to get along with Wang Yan in the future...

From the beginning to the end, no one thought that Yang Guang could not succeed. After all, Yang Guang was already the crown prince. As long as he stopped Yang Yong and cleaned up the people around Yang Jian, the matter would be over.

The key lies in the officials at all levels who guard the palace. How to balance these talents is the key, and Yang Guang's imperial skills are also reflected here.

After a while, Yu Wenzhi and some other people came back and said that everything had been arranged.

Yang Guang stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on his body, then flicked his sleeves and walked out first.

"Let's go. You are all loyal subjects of the Great Sui Dynasty. It is your responsibility to see His Majesty off for the last time."

Wang Yan, with his hand on the Han sword at his waist, followed behind Yang Guang, and the others followed in turn. When they left the East Palace, the thirty guards of Wang Yan's family were waiting by their side, and they all went to Yang Jian together.

When they arrived near the main hall, it was already controlled by Yuwen Chengdu. The boy stood there with his weapon in a majestic manner, and when he saw Yang Guang coming, he bowed politely without even looking at Wang Yan who was following behind Yang Guang. After the salute, he followed him aside.

They continued walking until they reached Yang Jian's bedroom. They stopped and Yu Wenzhi extended his hand to signal, "Your Highness, please come in."

Yang Guang was already prepared and was about to push the door open to kill his own father.

Wang Yan tried to stop him: "Your Highness is a saintly ruler, how can you do this? Yu Wenzhi is loyal, why not let him go?"

"Wang Yan! You..."

"You don't want to?" Wang Yan turned around and looked at Yu Wenzhi with a smile.

Yang Guang also turned his eyes away and glanced at Yu Wenhuaji. "Wang Yan, you bastard!"

Yuwen Chengdu couldn't hold it back any longer, so he raised the phoenix-wing gilded hammer in his hand and was about to stab.

At this moment, there was a clang and a flash of sword light. Wang Yan was already holding a long sword, leaving a red mark on Yuwen Chengdu's neck.

"Nephew from Chengdu, you are not qualified. Go stand at the back!"

Wang Yan sheathed his sword, not caring that Yuwen Chengdu's cheekbones were raised with shame and anger, his teeth were gnashing, and his face was distorted and ugly, as he looked at Yuwen Huaji, who also had a livid face.

"Yu Wenzhi, His Highness considers you as his right-hand man. Now is the time for you to serve His Highness. Why do you look so unhappy? Are you really unwilling to do so?"

"Your Majesty, I'm willing to go!" Yu Wenzhi gritted his teeth, tried his best to control his facial expression, and took the initiative to ask for orders from the smiling Yang Guang.

Yang Guang patted Yu Wenzhi's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead. Lady Xuanhua is here. You must stay here for me. Don't learn from Li Yuan."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yu Wenzhi nodded heavily, then heaved a long sigh, as if he had finally made up his mind, pushed open the heavy door of the hall and walked in...

Yang Guang gave Wang Yan a satisfied look, then took a step forward, put his hands in his sleeves, stood straight at the open door, watching Yu Wenzhi's actions and listening to Lady Xuanhua's terrified screams.

After a while, there was no movement inside, and Yu Wenzhi came out with a look of grief on his face: "Your Highness, the emperor has passed away..."

I was already getting into the mood and started acting right away.

Perhaps he was really sad. After all, it was he who killed Yang Jian. Killing the emperor was a big deal, and so many people present witnessed it. From now on, Yu Wenzhi could only do these dirty jobs.

How could the emperor trust someone who the emperor dared to kill? Although Yang Guang asked Yu Wenhuaji to do this, it did not prevent Yang Guang from distrusting Yu Wenhuaji.

That's what happened.

Yang Guang hummed, wiped away his non-existent tears, and ran in in a panic to confirm the situation.

"Wang Yan!" Yu Wenzhi stared at Wang Yan with gritted teeth.

"Why are you looking at me? Yu Wenzhi is loyal and devoted, and I still have something to learn from you." Wang Yan raised his eyebrows at him, and Yu Wenzhi was so angry that he seemed to ascend to heaven.

"Old Yang, isn't that right?" Wang Yan put his arm around Yang Su's shoulders.

Yang Su was startled and trembled unconsciously: "Yes, Lord Danyang is absolutely right. We should learn more from Yu Wenzhi."

"Look, the prime minister of the current dynasty recognizes you."

Wang Yan smiled, then ignored them and walked into the bedroom.

At this time, Yang Guang was kneeling in front of Yang Jian's bed, staring blankly at his father's death. I wonder if he thought of the loving father and filial son in the past.

Not far away was the terrified Lady Xuanhua, the Princess of Chen State, Chen Shubao's sister, who was fished out of the well along with Chen Shubao. Later, she was taken as a trophy and stuffed into Yang Jian's harem.

No one paid any attention to her. They all stood silently behind her, watching Yang Jian's death, each with their own thoughts.

After a while, Yang Guang came back to his senses: "Isn't there a secret decree? Isn't it to release my elder brother? How is the situation over there? Is it under control?"

"The Imperial City has been sealed off. None of them can escape."

"Go ahead and get things done as planned."

Yang Guang waved his hand, and everyone dispersed.

Yang Jian was strangled to death by Yu Wenzhi, and the imperial physician must be consulted to guarantee it. The leaked news must be suppressed, and key figures such as Yang Yong and Princess Yu must be controlled.

A major purge has begun inside the palace.

At the same time, Yang Guang also played his role. With the advice of everyone, he issued orders one after another, aiming to stabilize the situation before dawn. Otherwise, if the delay was too long, the impact would be too great, and big problems might arise.

Because we acted hastily and were not well prepared, we lacked some necessary communication and exchanges, so it is necessary to communicate well with people from all aspects tonight.

It is already November and the end of the year is almost here. Some princes who want to pay homage to the emperor in Beijing have probably packed their luggage, and those who are going farther away may have already set off.

If we cannot unify the central court before then, it will be a big trouble. If things go wrong, the Great Sui Dynasty will be useless and there will be many rebel kings everywhere, and the Great Sui Dynasty will be torn apart...

Wang Yan was not idle at this time. He took the emperor's forged letter written by Yang Guang and took over the garrison troops inside and outside Daxing City.

Yang Guang still knew some people and acted decisively. He handed such a big matter over to Wang Yan. At this time, the troops guarding Daxing must not be in chaos. Of course, the one who could suppress those people was Wang Yan.

Wang Yan did not disappoint. While the various negotiations on interests were going on intensely in the inner city, Wang Yan controlled the gates inside and outside the city, locking all the civil and military officials in the inner city. He then controlled the gates of the outer city to ensure the safety of the entire Daxing City.

At dawn, after killing dozens of generals and soldiers and imprisoning hundreds of people, Wang Yan peacefully took over the large army outside the city.

Then they sent more troops to guard the gates of the outer cities, and then they sent troops into the inner city and the imperial city to guard against other people taking risks.

After doing all this, it was still dark.

The common people, and even the vast majority of officials, had no idea what was going on...

"General, we caught a group of people at the east gate who were pretending to be the emperor's edict and trying to trick the city gate open. One of them claimed to be the prince..."

"bring it here."

After a while, Yang Yong, Princess Yu and others were captured.

"Prince!" Princess Yu saw an acquaintance and wanted to ask for help.

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Go find a few women and search the princess. Tie up that man and lock up the others."

"Wang Yan! You are aiding and abetting the evil!" Princess Yu condemned loudly.

Wang Yan ignored her accusations and curses. He waited until the woman came over and searched Princess Yu. After confirming that there was nothing inside, Wang Yan took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket, pried open Princess Yu's hand, and slapped the silver into her hand.

"Princess Yu, you'd better keep the things you said to me just now to yourself. I have no intention of arguing with you about right or wrong, and I don't care about what you said, but if the news gets out from somewhere one day, you, King Kaoshan, Shubao and the others will all die. You've caused big trouble this time, go find Shubao, don't go home, and live a good life with him."

Patting her on the shoulder, Wang Yan led a horse over and told her to leave...

Princess Yu glanced at Wang Yan and then rode away.

At this time, Yuwen Chengdu forcefully rushed out and stared at Princess Yu as she disappeared.

He turned to Wang Yan and said, "Thank you. I will say that I let him go."

It's terrible to be moved by someone.

So Wang Yan went with the flow and made his wish come true.

Wang Yan patted Yuwen Chengdu on the shoulder and said, "Yang Yong is given to you..."

Watching Wang Yan climb onto his warhorse and gallop into the city, Yuwen Chengdu looked in the direction where Princess Yu disappeared with a complicated expression, and remained silent for a long time...

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
