First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 164 Respectfully invites His Majesty to die
...

When Pei Qian finished talking, he could only hear the neighing of people getting closer and closer. As the palace gate opened, Yu Wenhua, his brothers, Sima Dekan and others galloped straight to the front of the Chengxiang Hall.

Dugu Sheng was startled, and drew out his sword, "You and others broke into the palace late at night, committing an accomplice in treason."

"The Xiaoguo army wants to return to their hometown in Guanzhong. General Dugu is also from Guanzhong. This matter has nothing to do with you. Please get out of the way." Yu Wenhua and Gong Gongshou said very politely.

Dugusheng was furious, pointed at Yu Wenhuaji with his sword, and angrily said: "Yu Wenhuaji, Er'an dare to plot rebellion", and then told the left and right guards: "Quickly report to the saint, Yuwen plots rebellion, withdraw quickly."

When Yu Wenhuaji and the others heard the words, their faces changed, and Sima Dekan immediately went up, "Stop talking too much, or you will die if you don't let me go."

Behind him, Linghu Xingda and others also took the lead bravely, leading the Xiaoguo rebels to fight with the guards.

Xiaoguo's rebel army is an elite force, and the guards of the Forbidden Palace are also elite one-in-a-million. Dugu Sheng is brave and fearless, with an imperial bestowed sword in his hand, he can cut iron like mud.

When the sound of fighting at the gate of the palace sounded, Yang Guang, who was drunk and was about to go back to the bedroom, woke up suddenly, and was about to ask questions, when suddenly a guard ran in stumbling.

"Your Majesty, Yu Wenhua and his rebellion, the rebel army has arrived at the gate of the palace, please withdraw quickly, Your Majesty."

Yang Guang was startled and furious when he heard this, he staggered and almost fell to the ground, "Yu Wenhuaji? How dare he do that?"

"Your Majesty, let's go." The loyal guard stepped forward to support Yang Guang and ran to the west. As soon as he left the Hall of Imagination from the west, he saw a group of rebels coming.

Yang Guang's sharp eyes, taking advantage of the bright flames of the rebels, suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Pei Qing".

It turned out that the leader of the rebel general Ling was holding a head in his hand, and it was Pei Yun, the imperial historian, and Yang Guang's favorite minister.

Seeing that there were also rebels on the road ahead, the guards hurriedly took Yang Guang to hide in the West Pavilion of the Hall of Elephants, "Your Majesty is hiding here for a while, and I will go to lure the rebels away."

Yang Guang nodded hastily, only to hear the chaotic footsteps outside the hall, people shouting to kill, horses neighing, Yang Guang was pale, wrapped his clothes tightly, and hid behind the screen of the West Pavilion, daring not to speak.

In the Hall of Elephants, the large and powerful Xiaoguo army killed all the guards of the Forbidden Palace led by Dugusheng. Poor Dugusheng, who loyally protected the lord, was finally hacked to death by the red-eyed Xiaoguo soldiers. .

Sima Dekan kicked open the door of the palace, and saw the maids and servants running around in a panic, searching inside and outside, but Yang Guang was nowhere to be found. Sima Dekan was suddenly in a cold sweat, and looked at Pei Qiantong, "Where is Yang Guang, the faint king?"

Pei Qiantong was also in a hurry. If Yang Guang escaped, he would lose everything. He immediately grabbed a court lady, "Where is Yang Guang?"

The palace maid was inexplicably terrified, trembling all over, already unable to speak out of fright, she could only tremblingly point to the west direction.

Seeing this, Sima Dekan immediately raised his knife and shouted, "Brothers, search carefully, don't leave the faint king Yang Guang", and then searched all the way west.

He ran into Ma Wenju, the school lieutenant who was carrying Pei Yun's head, "General Sima, did you catch the faint king?"

Sima Dekan was startled, Ma Wenju came from Dali Temple in the west, and had never met Yang Guang, so Yang Guang must still be here.

Everyone figured out this link and looked at the West Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, come out," Yu Wenhuaji sat on the horseback and shouted loudly.

However, there was no response.

Yu Wenzhi spit and cursed, "Yang Guang, if you don't come out again, I'll set it on fire."

In the west pavilion, Yang Guang was furious after hearing this, so he had to straighten his clothes, sit on the throne in the middle, and said in a deep voice, "Come in".

Yu Wenhuaji and others were overjoyed, kicked open the door of the pavilion, and rushed forward.

Yang Guang twirled his beard, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Yu Wenhuaji, are you going to kill me?"

Yu Wenhuaji trembled, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, "I dare not, but the Xiaoguo soldiers all want to return to their hometown in Guanzhong, please allow your majesty."

"You, Yu Wenhua, care about the military? It's really strange." Yang Guang sneered when he heard this, and then looked at Yu Wenhua and the people behind him, "What's wrong with me? How about fighting against each other?"

Ma Wenju threw Pei Yun's head at Yang Guang's feet, "Your Majesty abandoned the ancestral temple, traveled endlessly, resorted to military affairs externally, and abused people's power internally, causing young and strong people to die by swords on the battlefield, women and children to die in the fields and ravines, and the world is against you." , thieves are swarming, how can you be innocent?"

When Yang Guang heard the words, Nian Xu nodded, pondered for a while, and looked at Sima Dekan, Pei Qiantong and the others, "I really owe the common people, but you are all my old friends. I have always been a high-ranking official with a generous salary, and I have never treated you badly. I don't know who is the leader of today's plan. ?”

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but there was no response.

Sima Dekan drew his sword and pointed it at Yang Guang, with an angry expression on his face: "The world is all angry, and the world is the leader."

At this time, a handsome child ran into the pavilion crying and hugged Yang Guangda's legs tightly, "Aye, Gaoer is afraid."

This child is Yang Guang's youngest son, Zhao Wang Yang Gao, who is only 11 years old. He is handsome and is loved by Yang Guang.

"Noisy", seeing Yang Gao wailing and crying, Sima Dekan stepped forward with a knife and slashed Yang Gao to death, blood splashing on Yang Guang.

Yang Guang's eyes narrowed, and he leaned over and slowly closed the child's terrified eyes, "Gao'er is not afraid."

"Sima Dekan, do you want to kill the king?" Yang Guang asked, standing up straight and staring at Sima Dekan.

At this time, Yu Wenzhi yelled straight: "General Sima, it will end soon, and it will change if it is too late."

Yang Guang stared at Yuwen Zhiji, "What a rebellious son."

Sima Decan knew very well that Yang Guang must not be allowed to walk out of the West Pavilion alive, so he immediately raised his sword and wanted to attack.

But Yang Guang stretched out his hand to stop it, "The Son of Heaven has his own way of death, how can he add swords to his body and take poisonous wine."

After calming down for a while, Yu Wenhuaji also put away his fear, and immediately said the words of his younger brother Yuwen Zhiji: "Death is imminent, why should you be so particular, Colonel Linghu, do it."

Linghu Xingda behind him strode forward when he heard the words, and pushed Yang Guang back to his seat. Yang Guang struggled to get away, "The head is in a different place, which is not suitable for an emperor", and he took off the training scarf around his waist and handed it over. .

Linghu Xingda took the white training scarf, "Your Majesty, I respectfully invite you to die", walked up to him, wrapped the training scarf around Yang Guang's neck, and when he stretched his arms, Yang Guang's eyes straightened and his whole body Trembling, without twitching a few times, it was strangled to death.

In the 14th year of Daye, on the 50th night of March, a generation of emperor Yang Guang died in the West Pavilion of Chengxiang Hall in Jiangdu Palace at the age of 38. So far, the [-]-year-old Sui Dynasty has actually officially perished.

Seeing Yang Guang's death, the overall situation has been settled, Yu Wenhuaji felt relieved.

Pei Qiantong stepped forward to salute and said: "The harem needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent the Sui clan from causing chaos."

Yu Wenhuaji nodded in a hurry, and ordered Sima Dekan to enter the harem immediately.
