Turbulent Times Chapter 1539: Yang Guang’s last self-esteem

Yangzhou, whose nightlife was once famous all over the world, is now particularly deserted at night.

As soon as night fell, the street was empty, not even a single pedestrian.

This is naturally related to Yang Guang's curfew order a month ago, prohibiting all personnel from going out at night.

This is because Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju suddenly entered the palace more than a month ago and reported to Yang Guang that many ministers had secretly contacted at night recently, and there was an undercurrent in the imperial army, fearing that some unruly people would do unruly things.

This news surprised Yang Guangda, and at the same time he hated it, he was also extremely disturbed. He really wanted to find out the wrongdoers with a thunderbolt like he did when he was young, and then exterminate the family and kill them all.

But after he tried it, he suddenly discovered that at some point, his control over the imperial army had reached an extremely dangerous point, and even the guards in the palace were not as good as before. The guards, eunuchs and maids in the palace are worried about causing some bad consequences.

He thought about it carefully, and it seems that this situation started after he dismissed Yuwen Chengdu from his official position, took over Yuwen Chengdu's military power, and put him under house arrest.

Finally, after thinking about it, Yang Guang realized that the only thing he could implement was to order a curfew in Yangzhou City. If you can't go out at night, it will be difficult to do anything wrong at night.

But he never thought about it, or the desperation and fear in his subconscious prevented him from thinking about how people who are really capable of rebelling against the law could obey the curfew order, and whether the soldiers patrolling at night were loyal to He is talking about two things.

However, because of this matter, Yang Guang believed that Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju were the real loyal ministers. If the two of them hadn't entered the palace to remind them of the secret report, he would have been intoxicated all day long, not knowing that the disaster was approaching.

What Yang Guang didn't know was that Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju received a secret letter from Wang Junlin at the same time, asking them to enter the palace to tell Yang Guang the news, so that he could be alert, at least not to let Yuwen Zhiji's rebellion be like that. It went well, of course, this itself was part of Wang Junlin's comprehensive plan in Yangzhou.

In the imperial palace, it is rare for Yang Guang not to be drunk and dreaming of death, so he stands

It has been motionless for a long time in front of the window of the main hall.

Clear moonlight came in from the window, covering the ground with silvery white, and dragged out a long figure in the moonlight, looking lonely and desperate.

Yang Guang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the moonlight with his eyes full of sadness and despair.

"The Great Sui Dynasty is coming to an end...the last place for me to enjoy myself is gone. There are thieves who want to kill me and take my throne."

Yang Guang turned around suddenly, walked slowly to the imperial case and sat down. There was a memorial on the case. He didn't even know when the memorial appeared here. He only knew that the memorial came from Wang Junlin, it was Wang Junlin written in his own hand.

So, regardless of the content of this secret letter memorial, just thinking about how this memorial appeared, Yang Guang was so angry that his whole body was about to explode, and at the same time he felt very insecure.

He did not even doubt that if Wang Junlin wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as killing a chicken.

The content of Wang Junlin's letter is very simple. First of all, he told Yang Guang that someone was rebelling against him, and that Yang Guang should be dying soon, but if Yang Guang didn't want his grandson, daughter, granddaughter and other relatives in Yangzhou to die with him, Do as Wang Junlin says.

What to do? Wang Junlin also made it very clear.

Wang Junlin said that he would use his manpower and strength to help Yang Guang deal with those who wanted to rebel and kill him. In the end, if Yang Guang survived, he would have no objection and let Yang Guang continue to live in Yangzhou. The place was the emperor of the Sui Dynasty until the next person came to kill Yang Guang.

But Yang Guang was killed because of his bad fate, so his people will support Yang Tong, the second grandson who has always been by Yang Guang's side, as the emperor of the Sui Dynasty in Yangzhou. Of course, everyone knows that Yang Tong is just a puppet, and Wang Junlin is just a puppet. Taking advantage of the last role of the Sui Dynasty as the orthodoxy of the imperial court, he established his own power in Jiangnan at the lowest cost, and then continued to expand outward with Yangzhou as the center.

Of course, based on the relationship between Wang Junlin and Yang Tong's father, Yang Zhao, plus Wang Junlin's arrogance and arrogance, he will not be like some people in history. die.

In his letter, he assured Yang Guang that all the royal family in Yangzhou, including Yang Tong, would have a good result, at least they would have prosperity and wealth, and save their lives.

If it was someone else's guarantee, Yang Guang would definitely not believe it, but Wang Junlin's guarantee was different.

Everyone in the world knows that King Qin An promises a lot, and promises a lot.

Besides, Yang Guang also knew that Wang Junlin had a close relationship with his eldest son Yang Zhao. He even sometimes thought that if Yang Zhao hadn't died of illness, he would have passed the throne to Yang Zhao early. With Wang Junlin's support, the Great Sui Dynasty would never be in the current lingering situation.

Of course, with Yang Guang's personality, Wang Junlin's secret letter in the form of a memorial was a great insult to him. Wang Junlin naturally knew this, so he seemed to deliberately insult Yang Guang.

Yang Guang was indeed very angry at this time, but he soon lost his anger, because he no longer had the strength to be angry, especially when facing Wang Junlin, he almost had no bargaining chips.

At the same time, Wang Junlin told Yang Guang that he was going to beat Li Yuan, and by the way, he would rescue his other grandson Wang Yang You from Li Yuan's hands, otherwise Li Yuan would make Yang You his puppet later. And with Li Yuan's **** nature, without Wang Junlin's reminder, Yang You's ending would be tragic.

Even Wang Junlin promised that if he had the chance, Yang Tan, the eldest grandson of Luoyang emperor who had become Wang Shichong's puppet, would find a way to save him.

Although Yang Guang is full of unwillingness, he also knows that the current Sui Dynasty is irreversible, unless Wang Junlin and Li Yuan are loyal to Yang Guang and are willing to use their own efforts to turn the tide and revive the Sui Dynasty, but how is this possible? .

So in desperation, it may be Yang Guang's last expectations and thoughts to keep his blood alive and enjoy the glory and wealth.

Therefore, Wang Junlin's secret letter has actually caught Yang Guang's mind, and he is not afraid that he will not agree.

Yang Guang took a deep breath, turned around with tears streaming down his face, and returned to the plan. With the help of the light, Yang Guang slowly picked up the pen, and with trembling hands, he drew a smudge on Wang Junlin's secret letter.

He agreed to Wang Junlin's "request for memorial". Of course, this was actually a transaction between two people, and it was a request that Yang Guang had to agree to. Regal pride.
