Sui and Tang Dynasties Summons

Chapter 100 Poison Scheme and Banquet

Ps: (Second update)

Early Dynasty, Luoyang Imperial Palace.

In a magnificent palace, civil and military officials all went to the hall.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Under the signal of the eunuch, the officials greeted Yang Guang who was sitting on the dragon chair.

"Everyone loves you." Yang Guang embraced from left to right, seeing all the officials in court, his face became a bit serious, and he raised his hand to let everyone stand up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After performing the royal ceremony, Yang Guang raised his left foot to the dragon chair, stroked his beard and hair with a look of disdain for all sentient beings, and said, "Li Mi, how is the progress of the canal?"

Among all the officials, a man in a first-rank official uniform slowly stood up, and said timidly, "Back to the emperor, the canal is about to be completed. General Yu's [-] troops have captured Jiankang, and it's only a matter of this time." It’s been a while in Yuhang, and it will probably take another year or so to finish.”

Hearing the length of a year and a half, Yang Guang's face flashed a sullen look, and he complained.

"A year and a half, such a long time, I'm tired of living in Luoyang, Prime Minister Yuwen, what's your opinion?"

Yu Wenhua came over from the side with a mischievous look on his face, and said, "Return to the emperor, although the canal will not be restored for a year or so, but the old minister has a very good suggestion, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

Yu Wenhuaji said that he had a suggestion, and Yang Guang immediately became interested, and asked, "What suggestion, tell me quickly."

"Returning to the emperor, Li Yuan stayed in Taiyuan. He has been stationed in Taiyuan for five years now. The people under his rule are dependent on the hearts of the people. Presumably the financial revenue is also quite a lot."

Yu Wenhuaji paused, and continued to add.

"The scenery in Taiyuan is very beautiful, and I have heard that this beautiful woman in Taiyuan has a special charm."

Yang Guang, who said every word and every word, was excited in his heart, wishing to go to Taiyuan immediately, but then asked: "Prime Minister Yuwen, where will I live in Taiyuan? Don't you want me to live in an inn?"

Yu Wenhuaji said treacherously: "This Li Yuan has a lot of financial income. Your Majesty can order Li Yuan to build the Jinyang Palace within half a year, and then your Majesty can spend a lot of time in this Jinyang Palace."

"Half a year. How is this possible?"

"Impossible. The capital city of Luoyang has been built for three years. It is impossible for Jinyang Palace to be built in half a year."

Yu Wenhuaji's words caused the civil and military officials in the stage to discuss and discuss endlessly. They all agreed that this is absolutely impossible to complete.

Yang Guang thought about these words for half a year, and he also felt that it was impossible for half a year, but he always felt that there was something in his words, so he waved to Yu Wenhuaji, motioning him to come to his side.

Yang Guang coughed a few times, and asked softly: "Prime Minister, do you have a deep meaning in what you said?"

"Your Majesty is indeed wise. Do you remember how Li Yuan fought against His Majesty back then?" Yu Wenhuaji responded softly in Yang Guang's ear.

As soon as Yu Wenwen mentioned it, Yang Guang immediately thought of Li Yuan's obstruction and opposition to him before he ascended the throne, so he couldn't help but tighten the silk satin in his hand, feeling angry.

Seeing the annoyance on Yang Guang's face, Yu Wenhuaji immediately added fuel to the fire, "Your Majesty, no matter whether the construction of Jinyang Palace can be completed or not, Li Yuan will definitely die."

The anger on Yang Guang's face became more and more serious, and he asked puzzledly, "How do you say that?"

"First, it is absolutely impossible to build a huge palace within half a year. After half a year, His Majesty will travel to Taiyuan. If Li Yuan fails to build it, His Majesty can use this reason to punish him on the spot."

After hearing this, Yang Guang suddenly realized, and asked again: "What if Li Yuan is really built?"

Yu Wenhuaji snorted sinisterly and said: "If it is really built, it will be easier to handle. Your Majesty can use the name of privately building a palace to punish him. I guess he has nothing to say."

Yu Wenhuaji's every word was extremely sinister, and Yang Guang also felt a little surprised. He didn't expect when Yu Wenhuaji would have such a conspiracy, so he couldn't help but heighten his vigilance.

"Prime Minister Yuwen, I didn't expect your move to be so insidious." Yang Guang couldn't help but replied Yu Wenhuaji with praise and curse, and laughed out loud.

"Declared the emperor's decree, ordering Taiyuan to stay with Li Yuan, mobilize my people, and build the Jinyang Palace within half a year. When it expires, I will come to Taiyuan in person."

"Li Yuan, I will make your whole family pay the price this time!" Yang Guang made a cold decision in his heart and ordered the three provincial agencies.

As soon as this remark came out, Man Chao was shocked.

Most people can see Yang Guang's decision, which is a blatant death sentence for Li Yuan.

The oppressive atmosphere made Yang Guang a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, my old minister, I have a birthday banquet these few days, and I would like to invite the Emperor and all your lords to come to the Han Mansion to drink and have fun together."

When everyone was silent, a minister about [-] years old who was dressed in the clothes of a prince stood up. This person was one of the founding heroes, King Yang Su of Yue.

Yang Su was one of the most famous ministers in the Sui Dynasty. He first defeated the Northern Qi Dynasty, then went south to conquer the Turks, and won the favor of the late emperor Yang Jian.

Moreover, Yang Su's caution and reticence also helped Yang Guang to ascend the throne, so Yang Su's right to speak in the imperial court was no less than Yu Wenhua's.

Yang Guang asked, "Oh, King Yue's birthday is coming?"

Yang Su nodded, Yang Guang turned around, sat upright, and announced: "The King of Yue is the founding hero of our Sui Dynasty, and he has devoted himself to our Sui Dynasty for many years."

"The birthday of the King of Yue happened to coincide with my annual Lantern Festival in the Sui Dynasty. Since this is the case, I decided to organize the Lantern Festival together with the King of Yue. At that time, I will personally come to host the birthday banquet of the King of Yue. Your family is not allowed to do it for no reason. absent."

"The emperor's kindness is mighty, let the people of Luoyang feel the emperor's kindness and bathe, it is really a wise master." Yang Su was moved when he heard this, and immediately knelt down to thank him.

"The emperor is wise, and the common people are blessed!" Yu Wenhuaji echoed, and all the civil and military officials knelt down to thank the so-called emperor's great grace.

Yang Guang nodded in satisfaction, turned his eyes to the corner of the hall, and changed the subject: "Where is Tianbao Invincible General?"

I saw Yu Wencheng standing up in golden armor, kneeling on the ground with one knee, "I am here, what is the emperor's order?"

"I ordered you to command the [-] Luoyang Imperial Army during the Lantern Festival, and keep order for me!" Yang Guangchao Yuwen Chengdu ordered.

"The minister will not disgrace the mission!" Yu Wencheng's eyes burst out with firmness, because in his eyes, he is invincible in the world!

"Your Majesty, the old officials would like to recommend someone to host this banquet, and I hope the Emperor will agree." Seeing that Yu Wencheng had assumed the responsibility of maintaining order, Yang Su spoke up.

Yang Guang stroked the beard on his chin, and said: "The king of Yue may as well just say it, I will allow it."

"The person I want to recommend is General Han Qinhu Han's nephew, Li Jing, and I want him to host this banquet."
