Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 234
Du Yan was born in the Jingzhao Du family, a son of a serious Guanzhong family, and Wei Fusi, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, belonged to the family who grew up naked.

And Wei Fusi was the second son of Wei Shikang, the first governor of Jingzhou in the Sui Dynasty, and Wei Chong, the father-in-law of Yang Wei, was Wei Fusi's fifth uncle.

Seeing Fa Xiao, who was inseparable from each other, being hung up and beaten, Wei Fusi kept begging for mercy.

But Yang Hao didn't pay attention to him at all, Yuanwailang, you are a sixth grade, you have no face with this king.

Whipping officials in public may seem a bit excessive, but it was very common in the Sui Dynasty.

The old Yang family would beat the officials in the court. Historically, Shi Wansui was directly beaten to death by Yang Jian in the court meeting.

Didn't Yang Lihua also flog Yang Yue in front of so many people at Yue Gong's mansion?Yang Yuedu is already a Neishi Ling, so he still has to be beaten.

Yang Hao also couldn't hold back his face and was insulted face to face. He had never been so angry, so seeing that Du Yan had been beaten to death, he still had no intention of telling his subordinates to stop.

At this time, the crowd of spectators parted to make way, and Yang Su, the head of the officials, brought people here.

"Stop!" Yang Su yelled at the guards, and then said: "Under the imperial law, officials who violated the law, after being convicted by the headquarters, they will be submitted to the Minister of Shangshu, the Ministry of Internal History, and the Ministry of Menxia for reconsideration. Please let King Qi put him down first."

"Don't stop, hit me!" Yang Yan sneered, and looked at Yang Su: "What crime should it be for insulting the prince?"

Yang Su said indifferently: "The Emperor's Law only records that those who insulted the Son of Heaven were from the barbarians, but there is no record of the punishment for insulting the Prince."

"You're making unreasonable words," Yang Yan snorted coldly, and said, "Whoever comes today, don't even try to take them away."

Yang Su said indifferently: "The old man has been favored by His Majesty to be in charge of Shangshu Province. This person is an official of the Ministry of Punishment. He should be handed over to the old man for review and investigation. If King Qi beats someone to death, it is not in compliance with the law. Come here and release him. "

After finishing speaking, Yang Su stepped out of dozens of steps behind him, and rushed towards the steps.

On Yang Hao's side, of course, he showed no sign of weakness, and immediately there were dozens of guards standing in front of him, holding the handle of the knife.

For a while, the two sides were at war with each other.

"Young man Yang Su, you are so courageous," Yang Yan was furious, pointing at Yang Su and cursing, "No wonder Yang Liang said you are a traitor, you are indeed a traitor."

Whoever Yang Su was, among the emperor's three sons, he also took Yang Zhao seriously, Yang Ming was because of his in-law relationship, as for Yang Hao, he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Take someone!" Yang Su shouted coldly, drew his knife at the same time, and immediately started fighting with the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion.

Yang Xiong and others, who had been hiding in the distance watching the excitement, saw that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly stood up.

"Stop! What are you guys doing?" Yang Xiong took the lead and led the people up the steps.

"Duke Yue acts according to the law, King Qi please obey the law and let him go first."

"Hehe. Another one popped up," Yang Yan sneered, "Since when did Guan Wang and the traitor Yang Su wear a pair of trousers?"

Yang Xiong said indifferently: "Shang Shuling is the head of all officials. If he is a traitor, then the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are also traitors? King Qi means that my Great Sui Dynasty Hall is really a den of thieves?"

Yang Hao was taken aback, and angrily reprimanded: "Yang Xiong, do you dare to slander this king?"

"Hehe." Yang Xiong sneered and said, "When Emperor Gaozu was here, he didn't call me by my name directly, it's still King Qi's majesty."

Yang Xiong, after all, is the leader of the clan, even Yang Shuang, the king of Wei back then, had far less prestige in the clan of the Yang family than Yang Xiong.

So Yang Hao was more or less taboo towards him.

But at this moment, riding a tiger is hard to get off. If he backs down, where will he go in the future?

Yang Wang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, knew that the time had come, so he stepped forward to smooth things over with a smile.
"Okay, okay, there's no need for you to fight tit for tat. Duke Yue will naturally check it out and give you an explanation to His Royal Highness King Qi. Duke Yue also acts in accordance with the law. You can't take the lead in violating the law with the respect of Shang Shuling. .”

As he said that, Yang Wang pulled up Yang Hao's sleeves with a smile, and said with a smile: "Calm down, there's no need to get angry because of a petty official."

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is of the fourth grade, but he is an important member of the central government. Yang Wei was thinking about how to get down the steps, but now he is done, and Yang Wang walked in with his arm.

And Yang Hao also turned around, and finally said: "Within three days, please give me an explanation from Duke Yue."

It was just a resignation, but Yang Su didn't respond, and was completely too lazy to answer.

The aides of Prince Qi's Mansion were also afraid that things would become serious, so they rushed out to send everyone away.

In fact, they also felt that Yang Hao's performance was too much. You can't point at Shang Shuling's nose to scold traitors, and you shouldn't give Yang Xiong any face. After all, he is a prince just like you, and his seniority is high.

Yang Su and Yang Xiong have always been at odds, but today they stand together, can you fight?

Du Yan was half dead, and was taken down by Yang Su to find someone to treat him, and he and Yang Xiong only nodded at each other, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Is today's matter reported to Your Majesty as it is?" Liang Pi asked after boarding Yang Xiong's carriage on the way back.

Yang Xiong shook his head: "Needless to say, there are people from Yushitai in Luoyang, and it's their responsibility to hear about things. Let's not talk about it."

"Your subject understands," Liang Bi said with a frown, "I didn't expect King Qi to be so arrogant. It seems that he wants to beat people to death."

Weidu in the south of the city, Qutianchiwu, and Jingzhao area belong to these two families, and they have the deepest connection. The current old Du family has no branches, but it does not affect that there are many county officials in the family. It was the Northern Zhou Dynasty who supported Yang Jian's ascension to the throne earlier, so the reign of Emperor Kaihuang was pretty good.

It belongs to the old school, that is, it is covered by Yang Lihua.

Yang Xiong said with a smile: "This Du Yan entered the officialdom. When Gao Zu was there, he had a great quarrel with Wei Fusi and his two sons. Their deeds at that time were once cited as a joke at the court meeting, so this king treats him with respect." He still has the impression that he is young and energetic, so he will inevitably say some wild words, and it is understandable for King Qi to whip him, but it will appear that he is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others."

Liang Pi nodded and said with a smile: "I'm also curious, why did he dare to offend Yang Su? The crown prince saw Su, and still held the junior etiquette, and his words were also very respectful. It was good for him to directly call Yang Su a traitor."

"Do you scold less?" Yang Xiong laughed.

Liang Bi said seriously: "I scolded Yang Su for a reason and for the sake of the country, not because of personal enmity."

"Then you'd better scold less in the future," Yang Xiong said with a smile, "Yang Su is the closest to the King of Qin now, it's not terrible to offend the King of Qi, but if you offend the King of Qin, then you have to be more careful in the future."

Liang Pi laughed: "I don't have the guts. People say that King Qin is very talkative, but I know in my heart that you have never seen that side of him that is not easy to talk to. Ersheng raised him himself, and he is not an ordinary person."

The two of them are old friends, so there is no taboo when talking. Yang Xiong also likes Liang Pi's uprightness, so there are some things that he can't say to others, but he can say to Liang Pi.

"In Luoyang right now, there is nothing bigger than building Tokyo. You'd better stop bothering King Qin."

"That's natural." Liang Pi nodded and said, "The burden on his shoulders is heavier than ours."

Du Yan was very miserable. As his own nephew, Du Ruhui was always by his side and took good care of him.

Eating, drinking, and scavenging, he couldn't take care of himself, his body was torn and his flesh was torn, and there was no good place for him.

Wei Fusi, who grew up as a hard-core boy, also sat on the sidelines and bowed his head wiping tears. The two of them have advanced and retreated together since childhood, were exiled together, and returned to the court together to be Yuanwailang. They are not brothers, but better than brothers.

After checking the injury, Yang Ming also frowned. Even if the other party's injury recovers in the future, it will inevitably be the root cause of the disease, leaving scars on his face, which will affect Du Yan's original handsome appearance.

In history, Du Yan was Li Shimin's prime minister, but today he almost fell into Yang Hao's hands.

During the Taizong period of the Tang Dynasty, there were 29 people who were prime ministers. Yang Ming now knows six people: old uncle Xiao Yu, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yang Gongren, and Du Yan.

In addition, Changsun Wuji, the son of Changsun Sheng, Chen Shuda, the uncle of Chen Shuyi, Yang Shidao, the youngest son of Yang Xiong, Yang Hongli, the nephew of Yang Su, and Feng Deyi, Yang Su's aide, will all have the opportunity to meet in the future.

As for Yuwen Shiji, Yang Ming didn't bother to know him.

Many of the rest of the people were from poor families who took the lead in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Ming had no chance to meet them.

"During this time, you stay and take care of Du Yan, and don't take care of official business for the time being," Yang Ming ordered.

Du Ruhui nodded. Although Du Yan and his father Du Zha were half brothers, they were also brothers. In fact, Du Ruhui's temperament was more like Du Yan's.

Wei Fusi was even more suffocated, because when Du Ruhui was arrested, he hurried to find his cousin Qi Wangfei Wei Shi to help intercede, the cousin did help, but was insulted by Qi Wang After a meal, the words were very harsh and ugly.

This made Wei Fusi very upset, he felt that his cousin was wronged too much.

"Mr. Yue, you won't investigate this matter any more?" Wei Fusi pleaded.

Yang Su raised his eyebrows, and said angrily, "People were almost beaten to death, why do you want to investigate? From now on, both of you keep your mouths in check, and don't let others catch your sore feet."

Wei Fusi hurriedly nodded and felt relieved, as long as Yang Su stood up, even if King Qi refused to let him go, they would have nothing to do with Yang Su.

As for Yu Wenkai who returned to the mansion with a full stomach, he directly wrote a memorial, reporting the food shortage in Yuzhou in detail.

Even though he is just an assistant supervisor, he is responsible for the layout and construction of the entire Tokyo, and he is the chief designer, so he is very clear in his heart that if some seemingly small projects are delayed, it will delay the entire construction of Tokyo.

If the construction period is really delayed, His Majesty will not do anything to King Qin and Yang Su, but he cannot bear His Majesty's thunderous wrath.

So he had to report the truth, firstly, to shirk responsibility, and secondly, he hoped that His Majesty would come forward to solve the food problem in Luoyang.

When the ministers petitioned the government office of Yuzhou, Yang Hao whipped Du Yan, and Du Yan was also stabbed out.

No one can hide the truth from the emperor. This is another reason why Yu Wenkai can become an evergreen tree in the center besides his excellent skills.
