Chapter 13 The Change of the Palace of Renshou (5)

Yang Yuanqing had just arrived in front of Yang Jian's bedroom with the order, waiting for Yang Jianxuan to enter. A eunuch told him that the emperor was not feeling well and the imperial physician was treating him, so he asked him to wait for a moment. At this moment, Yang Yuanqing suddenly heard someone calling him behind him.

When he turned around, he saw a man in a royal robe walking towards him quickly. Yang Yuanqing suddenly recognized him as the prince Yang Guang.

Yang Yuanqing met Yang Guang in the 20th year of Kaihuang four years ago. At that time, Yang Guang was the head coach of the Western Turks as the commander of the Western Route Army. His grandfather Yang Su was the deputy commander. Although he only met twice at that time, after four years, Yang Yuanqing still recognized him at a glance.

He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Hao Yang Yuanqing bowed to the crown prince!"

Yang Guang quickly helped him up and whispered in his ear: "The Lord has broken down, don't say anything!"

Yang Yuanqing was shocked. The emperor had died? Although the news was very sudden, Yang Yuanqing still restrained his inner tension.

"What can I do for His Royal Highness?"

"You are my personal bodyguard and follow me into the bedroom. Whoever dares to stop me, kill me immediately!"

Yang Yuanqing was still thinking about how to tell Yang Jian about his fight against Datou Khan, trying to be concise and not affect the patient's rest. Unexpectedly, Yang Guang's appearance suddenly changed his mission. The emperor had collapsed. Yang Yuanqing was confused, but Yang Guang did not give him any time to think about it, and pulled him a hand. The two of them walked quickly to the steps one by one.

He is still at the gate of the bedroom. When he walks in, there are two palace gates. At this time, the news of Yang Jian's death has not yet been heard. The gate of the bedroom is as calm as usual. Twenty left guards holding halberds stand at the door on duty. Yang Guang and Yang Yuanqing quickly walk to the door, and the direct palace chief at the door stopped them.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has not announced it, please wait at the door!"

"Don't you know when the emperor announced General Yang's visit?" Yang Guang shouted sternly, but quickly gave Yang Yuanqing a wink.

Yang Yuanqing had no weapons on his body. He stared at the long sword at the long waist of the palace. The halberd was a real iron halberd, and the knife should also be a real sword. It should be a very sharp ritual knife. The handle of the knife was five feet away from him. Yang Yuanqing decided to take a bet on this one.

The head of the palace was firm and determined, "No one was allowed to enter without the emperor's summons!"

Suddenly, Yang Guang pointed in the hall and said, "Look, isn't the edict coming?"

Just as the head of the palace chief turned his head, Yang Yuanqing suddenly activated it. He moved extremely quickly, pulling out the sword from the palace chief's waist, and a cold light flashed, and blood burst out from the palace chief's neck burst out, screaming and falling to the ground, blood spurting Yang Guang all over.

The sudden change shocked the other nineteen guards. Before they could react, Yang Yuanqing was as thunder and like lightning, killing several people in a row. In an instant, the four people closest to the gate died under his sword. Yang Guang also cooperated with the tacit understanding. When the head of the Zhidian fell to the ground, he rushed into the bedroom.

The other fifteen guards all reacted. They roared and slapped Yang Yuanqing. Yang Yuanqing raised his feet and the iron halberd that was growing straight into his hands. He waved the knife with his left hand and danced the halberd with his right hand, slashing left and right, extremely fierce. In a moment, eight or nine more people screamed and fell into a pool of blood.

Seeing that he was extremely brave and unstoppable, the remaining people were so scared that they shouted, turned around and ran away. Yang Yuanqing pulled two knives from the guard's waist, held a long spear in his hand and chased Yang Guang.

Although there were only twenty guards at the gate of the bedroom, there were nearly a hundred left-leaning guard soldiers in the square and the corridor opposite. Yang Yuanqing killed more than a dozen people just in the middle of the rise and fall of the rabbits, shocking everyone. When they reacted, Yang Yuanqing and Yang Guang had already rushed into the palace one after another.

There was a sudden chaos outside the palace gate. The alarm sounded, and a guard shouted: "Catch the assassin!"

Although the shouts were heard, the soldiers did not dare to rush into the bedroom easily. They were waiting for the orders of General He Shaokang, the Zhi Pavilion.













He Shaokang was about 30 years old, with a burly figure, big arms and round waist, and extremely strong martial arts. He was known as the number one general of the left and right guards. He shot every bow and arrow, and a snake spear made it elusive. At first, he was the personal bodyguard of Emperor Yang Jian. Later, he entered the Left Guard and became the confidant of the Left Guard General Yuan Min. He was gradually promoted to the Zhige General. He served as the Zhige General for nearly eight years and was very old. He was preparing to be promoted to the Left Guard General this autumn.

He Shaokang is the highest commander on duty in the palace today. He is one of the six generals of the Zhige under the General of the Left Guard. He was not on duty today, but Emperor Yang Jian's condition worsened in the past two days and the time was ripe. Liu Shu ordered him to change to duty today and prepare to do it tonight.

He Shaokang was thinking about the specific plan for today's action in the room. It was easy to kill Yang Guang. The key was his boss, General Shi Xiang, the left guard. He was likely to enter the palace tonight.

Just as He Shaokang lowered his head and pondered, an imperial physician walked to the door of the room nervously and knocked on the door. He Shaokang opened the door and saw that the imperial physician's expression was extremely strange, so he was stunned for a moment, "What, is something wrong?"

"Go and report it quickly...Shangshu Liu, the emperor... has already...he...he collapsed!" The imperial physician was so nervous that he couldn't even explain clearly.

"What!"

He Shaokang was shocked. He was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned around and ran back to the house, took out a note prepared in advance from the bedside, waved his hand and called a confidant forward, "Take this to Liu Shangshu immediately, go immediately!"

The confidant took the note and ran away. He Shaokang was walking back and forth anxiously in the room with his hands behind his back. The sudden death of the emperor meant that the plan tonight was disrupted. What should he do? Should he do it now?

But it was of great importance. Without Liu Shu's instructions, he did not dare to act rashly. He Shaokang didn't know how many times he walked in the room. He was anxiously waiting for news from his confidant. His confidant should have arrived early, so why didn't he come back yet?

He Shaokang was anxious. Suddenly, the ringing of the bell of the "Dang! Dang! Dang!" came from the direction of the Grand Palace. This was the alarm bell. He Shaokang was stunned. What happened?

After a moment, a soldier rushed over, "General, His Highness the Crown Prince, and another man have entered the Grand Treasure Hall."

He Shaokang's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly yelled, "Immediately, order your brothers to gather in the Great Palace and block them for me!"

















Yang Yuanqing rushed into the hall, caught up with Yang Guang for a moment, and handed him a knife. At this time, Yang Guang could not believe anyone except Yang Yuanqing. Any guard might have been bribed by Yang Yong's remaining party. Even the people he sent to guard Yang Yong were bribed. Who else would he dare to believe?

At this moment, Yang Guang had already taken the initiative. He pulled out his long sword, threw away the scabbard, and walked quickly towards the inner palace with murderous aura. Yang Yuanqing followed him, holding a halberd in his hand, and while walking, he looked around vigilantly.

Yang Jian's bedroom is called the Great Treasure Palace, which is in the shape of the "same" structure. The outside palace is surrounded by the small palace inside. Twelve large vermilion-patterned gold-patterned pillars stand in two rows in the middle of the palace. There are hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. They are so scared that they scream, stumble and run away from both sides, hiding behind the pillar, and looking at the blood-covered prince and Yang Yuanqing in horror.

Yang Guang and Yang Yuanqing ran all the way, just as the shout of "catching the assassin" was just yelling, and before the alarm bell rang, they had already rushed to Yang Jian's inner palace gate. Outside the door were twelve guards, all of whom were burly and powerful in martial arts. They were not soldiers of the left guard, but Yang Jian's personal guards.

They saw the prince covered in blood, holding a long sword in his hand, and a halberd officer following behind them. They were all over shocked and wondered what had happened?

Yang Guang knew that the twelve guards were the father's confidant guards and could not be bribed. Yang Guang pointed at them with a knife and shouted sternly: "Liu Shu rebelled, are you willing to protect me?"

The twelve guards had actually heard crying from the palace. They all knew that the emperor was not good, but they did not dare to leave their posts without permission. The prince shouted loudly, causing them to look at each other. Suddenly, they knelt down together, "I am willing to serve the prince!"

Yang Guang was overjoyed, and he pointed at Yang Yuanqing, "You can listen to General Yang's orders!"

He rushed into the inner palace quickly. Yang Yuanqing already understood what role he was playing. He smiled bitterly in his heart, but he had no choice but to make him Yang Su's grandson, he had to whisper: "The six people on the left guard the palace gate and do not let anyone in. The other six people come with me!"

He is a general who is in battle on the battlefield, and he has an irresistible majesty in his words. The guards dare not refuse to follow him. The six people on the right followed Yang Yuanqing into the inner palace.

Yang Jian's inner palace was not big, and was divided into two by the curtains hanging down. There were more than a dozen imperial physicians and more than twenty eunuch palace maids standing outside. They all looked sad, especially the imperial physicians were even more frightened. None of them expected that the emperor would die like yesterday. They thought that the emperor would wake up after fainting, but they didn't expect that the emperor would go there this time.

A few women's cry came from the curtain, and then the exclamation from Concubine Chen came, "Your Highness, what are you going to do? You can't take it..."

Yang Yuanqing rushed into the inner tent and met several eunuchs and imperial physicians running out in horror. He made way aside. He saw Yang Jian on the bed with thin and thin face as gold paper, and had already closed his eyes and died. Several women in the palace dress were sitting in front of the bed crying, but at this time they all covered their mouths and looked at the prince next to the bed with panic expressions.

Yang Guang had already thrown the sword aside and searched for something anxiously in a sandalwood cabinet against the wall. Although his father died beside him, he was so anxious that he could no longer care about crying and worshiping his father. He wanted to find the jade seal and military talisman.

A beautiful woman in her thirties was pushed to the ground. It was Chen Guiren. She got up and tore Yang Guang's arm hard to stop him, "Crown Prince, you can't do anything random!"

"Get out of here!"

Yang Guang kicked her down with one kick, and Chen Guiren fell to the ground, covering her stomach, and her face showed pain. Yang Guang's kick was extremely fierce and almost kicked her into an internal injury.

Suddenly, Yang Guang found it. He took out a purple jade box and was so excited that he shivered all over. He opened the jade box. There were two layers inside the box. The upper layer was the emperor's red pen and jade seal, and the lower layer was ten tiger talismans. This was the emperor's military power. There was also a draft order next to the jade box, which was passed down to the throne of the crown prince.

The jade seal, tiger talisman and other objects are usually kept by the Fu Xilang, but Yang Guang knew that during this period, when the father was dying, he specially placed them beside him, for fear of chaos at the last moment.

Yang Guang hugged the purple jade box tightly in his arms and put away the order. He wiped away the sweat from his forehead, and then he slowly knelt in front of his father. He kowtowed and cried, saying, "Please forgive my child for being unfilial and not being able to stay by my father's side. Wait for the child to eliminate his rebellion and stabilize the court, and then apologize to his father!"

He held the purple jade box and ordered Yang Yuanqing, "Let's go!"

Yang Yuanqing knelt on both knees, kowtowed three times to Yang Jian's body, and stood up and followed Yang Guang.
