A farmer was driving a donkey on a mountain path on a cliff, and the donkey was walking close to the cliff. The farmer was terrified, and pulled it to lean in a little bit. The donkey refused, but with a little force, it growled, bit, kicked and jumped around. , As a result, a deep valley was planted. The farmer looked down and said seriously, "Master Donkey, you have won!"
"I want to report to the empress, my maidservant accidentally heard that there are officers and soldiers outside the palace discussing rebellion, please investigate carefully and report to Your Majesty as soon as possible."
Glancing at the loyal court lady who was kneeling in front of her to tell the truth, Empress Xiao, who was lightly wearing powder, showed no surprise at all, as if this matter was very ordinary. After thinking for a while, Empress Xiao said: "Your Majesty You might want to come here, you should report this to His Majesty in person.”
The loyal maid promised, and after a while, Emperor Sui Yang indeed entered Empress Xiao's bedroom smelling of alcohol with many concubines and beauties. When saluting, the loyal maid said what she had just said to Emperor Sui Yang again. As a result, what the loyal court lady never imagined in her dreams was that what awaited her was not a reward for loyalty, but a furious roar, "Bold maidservant, you little maid, what right do you have to talk about court affairs? Come on, tell me this The lowly maid dragged it out and beheaded it!"
The scalding blood of the loyal court lady did not frighten the people who came later. On the evening of the same day, another palace attendant came to Empress Xiao to report, saying that someone outside the palace was planning to rebel. Glancing at her husband, who was drunk and asleep in the arms of the beauty, Empress Xiao's expression was calmer than before, and she uttered her famous saying that was recorded in the annals of history, "Everything in the world is not the end of the first period, and the end of life is exhausted." , don’t say any more, it will only make His Majesty sad and troubled.”
No one in the palace mentioned this matter again, Second Brother Yang, you won!
When the rumor that someone outside the palace was about to rebel quietly spread in the palace city, an even more astonishing rumor spread quickly outside the palace city - I don't know who spread the news, but it was said that Emperor Sui Yang was brewing a lot of people. The poisoned wine was prepared to be distributed in the name of reward, and poisoned to death all the relevant Chinese soldiers in Jiangdu, leaving only the southern soldiers alive.
The rumors are absurd, but the Xiaoguo Guards, who are mainly soldiers from Guanzhong, believe that countless unpopular decrees have seriously overdrawn the prestige of Emperor Sui Yang, and Xiaoguo is blinded by the longing for his relatives in his hometown all the year round. The eyes and reason of the guards made every Xiaoguo guard believe that this is not a rumor, but a fact. In fear, the soldiers of Xiaoguo Guard from Guanzhong told each other one after another.
On the same day, that is, the fifth day of February in the 14th year of Daye, Sima Dekan, the chief general of Xiaoguowei, suddenly summoned all the generals of Xiaoguowei, declaring that the rumors were true, that the generals of Xiaoguowei were already dead, and announced that Plan, decided to launch a mutiny under the leadership of Yu Wenhuaji, forcing Sui Yang Emperor to abdicate, support the new emperor Shengming to ascend the throne, and then escort the new emperor back to his hometown in Guanzhong!
On the one hand, there was the threat of dying, and on the other hand, the temptation to go home. Of course, most of the Xiaoguowei generals made the right choice, agreeing to accept Sima Dekan's plan, and also expressed their allegiance to the sudden appearance of Yu Wenhua and Zongba, Only a few Xiaoguowei generals looked hesitant and hesitant. Yu Wenhuaji saw the thoughts of these people, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Fan Wenchao, you guys, do you want to continue to work for the faint king?"
Fan Wenchao was taken aback by Yu Wenhua and Fan Wenchao, who was named, peeped to look outside the door, and saw Sima Dekan's confidant soldiers with knives and guns standing in the courtyard outside the door, Fan Wenchao also obediently made a move that was enough to make him grow old. Father Fan Zigai made an angry decision, and said to Yu Wenhua and Jishou: "The final general is willing to follow Mr. Xu to do great things, abolish the faint king, and establish a new one."
Several other hesitant Xiaoguowei generals also bowed their heads in front of the threat of death, and agreed to follow Yu Wenhua and Sima Dekan to act. Yu Huahua and Sima Dekan were overjoyed, and immediately took out the military documents and ordered everyone to sign and pledge, and drank blood wine to make a poisonous oath , and then announced the specific action plan, decided to start the incident in the evening, led the army to Jiangdu Palace to do it, and directly announced the route to enter the palace—coincidentally, it was the palace gate named Xuanwumen!
This is a mutiny plan full of loopholes. In fact, after the generals of Xiaoguowei dispersed to make preparations, before it was evening, some vacillators sent their confidants to the outside of the camp for emergency, betraying Yu Wenhua and Sima Dekan mutiny plan. However, the seventy yards of the wheel of history cannot be stopped by manpower. The luck of Leng Renyu Culture and Sima Dekan was not so good, and the luck of Emperor Sui Yang and the Great Sui Dynasty was not so bad.
The confidants sent by Zhang Huishao, the chief of Jiangyang, successfully sent the news to Pei Yun, the important minister of the Sui Dynasty who had just left the imperial city after finishing his official duties. In the city, I found Yu Shiji, the only servant of internal history who was qualified to enter the palace city at this moment, and passed Zhang Huishao's secret report to Yu Shiji, asking Yu Shiji to enter the palace immediately to ask Emperor Sui Yang for emergency, and asked Emperor Sui Yang to immediately mobilize troops outside the city to quell the rebellion and capture him. Mutiny leaders such as the Yuwen Brothers and Sima Dekan.
Yu Shiji, whose position is equivalent to Senior Brother Huashan, committed the same confusion as Senior Brother Huashan at this moment. He suspected that the news sent by Zhang Huishao at the risk of death was not true, and he refused and did not dare to enter the palace to cause trouble for Sui Yang Emperor. reject. Pei Yun also knew that Yu Shiji was in a dilemma, so he immediately came up with a workaround, suggesting that Yu Shiji dispatch soldiers and horses from outside the city to protect the palace city and take precautions, and promised that even if Emperor Sui Yang was offended, He also shared the guilt with Yu Shiji.
The garrison outside the city returns directly under Hu'er, who has combat effectiveness and is more loyal and obedient. If Yu Shiji can follow Pei Yun's advice, then there is still a chance that the seventy-yard wheel of history will be slammed on the brakes. However, at this critical moment of life and death, Yu Shiji After hesitating, I didn't make a decision for a long time, wasting the last contingency time in vain.
At the same time, the Xiaoguowei camp in the east city of Jiangdu was already in flames. More than 20,000 Xiaoguowei soldiers who participated in the mutiny lit torches, illuminating half of the sky red. Emperor Sui Yang, who was visiting with a stick, could see it clearly, and once suspected that there was a change in the city, he hurried to find General Huben who was in the palace to inquire about the situation.
"Your Majesty, there is a fire in the thatched house in the city. The soldiers and civilians in the city are fighting the fire. It will be put out soon. Please rest assured." Explain, don't pay attention to it.
The fire quickly approached the imperial city and the palace city. Yuan Li and Pei Qiantong who were guarding the imperial city had already secretly ordered that the gates of the imperial city and the palace city should not be locked tonight, and all gates could be opened with a light push. The Xiaoguo guards with torches in their hands all looked stern, and there was almost only one thought in their minds, "Let the tyrant abdicate, embrace a new emperor, and bring the new emperor home!"
Sima Dekan, Yu Wenzhi and the rebels jointly commanded quickly controlled all intersections in the city and prohibited everyone from passing. Realizing that the situation was not good, Emperor Sui Yang's eldest grandson Yanwang Yang Tan, under the protection of Liang Gong Xiao Ju and Qian Niu Beishen Yu Wenyu and others, entered the imperial city from the sluice next to Fanglin Gate and came outside Xuanwu Gate. He asked to see Emperor Sui Yang immediately, but Pei Qiantong's subordinates quickly captured him, gagged him, tied him up and took him to a hidden place for custody.
At the same time, Yu Shiji finally made up his mind and agreed with Pei Yun's suggestion to summon the garrison outside the city to escort them. However, it was too late to do so. With Yuan Li's support, he entered the imperial city, and quickly opened up all major vital organs. Seeing this scene, Pei Yun could only look up to the sky and sigh, "Yu Shiji, I'm looking for you to discuss important matters. I really found the wrong person!"
There was also Pei Qiantong in the palace city. The Xuanwu Gate, which was closed to Yang Tan and others before, was opened to the rebels. It was also at this time that Emperor Sui Yang, who was drinking with his favorite concubine Wei and others, finally realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly got up and fled westward. Gongping rebellion.
Not only did Emperor Sui Yang's decree fail to be sent out of the palace, but Dugu Sheng, who was on duty in Chengde Hall, led the soldiers in the hall to stop the rebels, and was quickly hacked to death by the large number of rebels. Qianniu Dugu Kaiyuan led hundreds of palace soldiers to search for Emperor Sui Yang everywhere, trying to protect him from leaving the palace city to avoid the swordsmen, but because Emperor Sui Yang went into hiding and disappeared, and the Wei family and others intentionally misidentified Emperor Sui Yang. The direction of escape, always looking for Emperor Sui Yang, caused the soldiers around Dugu Kaiyuan to panic and gradually fled. In the end, without the help of the rebels, Dugu Kaiyuan, the army that was finally loyal to Emperor Sui Yang, collapsed on its own.
Sigong Wei and others once again betrayed Emperor Sui Yang, pointing out to the rebels the direction in which Emperor Sui Yang had really left. In Yong Xiang, Emperor Sui Yang was originally hiding in a hidden place. It was difficult for Linghu Xingda and others to find him, but Emperor Sui Yang, who had completely lost his heart, was betrayed again. Xingda stepped forward with a knife, and when he opened the curtain, he saw Emperor Sui Yang hiding behind the curtain.
At the moment of life and death, the shrewdness and majesty of the past returned to Emperor Sui Yang. Facing the menacing Linghu Xingda and others, Emperor Sui Yang shouted loudly: "You want to kill the king?"
The prestige was still there, and Emperor Sui Yang's shout made Linghu Xingda and the others involuntarily take a step back, and then Linghu Xingda saluted Sui Yang Emperor Jishou, saying: "I dare not, I wait because my subordinates The soldiers want to return to their hometown in Guanzhong, and I want to ask your Majesty to issue an edict to lead all the civil and military officials back to Guanzhong to Daxing."
Holding the last ray of hope, Emperor Sui Yang nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, go and ring the Jingyang bell, let all officials enter the palace to hold a court meeting, and I will issue an edict to return home."
More and more rebel soldiers rushed to the scene. Seeing that Emperor Sui Yang was in control, the rebel soldiers cheered gradually. Originally, Linghu Xingda had already agreed to send someone to ring the Jingyang Bell , but after the news was sent to Yu Wenhua and his brothers, Yu Wenhua and Fu, who were already drenched in cold sweat from nervousness, shouted: "Don't be fooled, he just wants to meet with the officials, let those people save him, let them save him. Take it into the bedroom and keep it under strict guard! Watch it closely!"
Yu Wenhuaji's order was extremely useful at this moment, and the extremely nervous rebel soldiers subconsciously and unconditionally executed it, and immediately forced Sui Yang Emperor to return to the palace with half-asking and half-promotion. The soldiers were captured and also taken to the palace to be imprisoned with Emperor Sui Yang. Pei Qiantong, Linghu Xingda, Meng Bing, Ma Wenju and other rebel leaders held their swords and guarded them closely to prevent Sui Yang Emperor from leaving the dragon bed.
The key points of the palace city fell into the hands of the rebels one after another. The bodyguards loyal to Emperor Sui Yang, represented by Dugu Kaiyuan, were either killed or forced to surrender their weapons. The rebels controlled the gates of the imperial city and cut off the internal and external traffic of the imperial city. Another major rebel general, Tang Fengyi, firmly guarded the gates of the outer city, preventing foreign troops from entering the city. The progress was unexpectedly smooth. But when it was dawn, all the inside and outside of the imperial palace had fallen into the hands of the rebels, so Yu Wenhua and his brothers led a group of rebel leaders to the bedroom to meet Sui Yang Emperor.
The reunion of monarchs and ministers was extremely embarrassing, the cowardly Yu Wenhuaji did not dare to look at Emperor Sui Yang, but Emperor Sui Yang, whose fate was hanging by his hands, was very calm at this moment, holding his crying young son Yang Gao in his arms and said calmly: "Hua Ji , I heard that you are the leader of this matter, what is my crime? Why are you doing this?"
The slightly trembling Yu Huaji couldn't answer, but the traitor Ma Wenju stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since you took the throne, you have left the ancestral temple and ignored it. Young and strong men are killed by swords and soldiers, women, old and weak are killed in ravines, the people are in dire straits, thieves are rampant, they blindly appoint traitors, cover up their faults, and refuse to accept advice! This is not a crime, so what is the crime?"
It was Emperor Sui Yang's turn to be speechless. After a moment of silence, Emperor Sui Yang said: "I am sorry to the people of the world, but I am sorry to you! Is the glory and wealth I have given you still too little? Why do you still do this?"
It was the turn of the rebel generals to be unable to answer again. Immediately afterwards, Emperor Sui Yang looked around at the crowd, and suddenly pointed to Fan Wenchao who was standing behind Sima Dekan, and shouted: "Fan Wenchao, I really never dreamed of that." , You are also with them! How loyal is your father, Fan Zigai, to me? Chen Yingliang and Chen Aiqing, whom your father discovered for me, are less loyal to me than your father? Thieves make trouble, what face will you have to meet your junior Chen Yingliang in the future? After you die, what face will you have to meet your father under the Nine Springs?"
Fan Wenchao of the tiger father and dog son was ashamed, bowed his head and did not dare to say anything, and Emperor Sui Yang said loudly again: "You listen to me, stop now, I will spare you from death, and I will never pursue what happened today!"
Not to mention, Emperor Sui Yang's action really frightened some rebel generals and made some rebel generals shake their minds. Unfortunately, Sima Dekan, Pei Qiantong and others were not fooled, and shouted together: "Don't be fooled! This tyrant We have always kept our promises, and if we stop now, we will only die without a place to die! If we don’t do it, we won’t stop, just kill him directly!”
The terrifying appearance once again frightened Yang Gao who was in Emperor Sui Yang's arms, and made Yang Gao, who was only twelve years old, burst into tears again. Pei Qiantong was tired of hearing this, so he grabbed Yang Gao and slashed at him with a knife. After lowering Yang Gao's head, blood spattered from his neck, and immediately covered Emperor Sui Yang's body and face, making Emperor Sui Yang's whole body shocked.
"Let's go up together and kill this stupid king!" Linghu Xingda raised his knife and shouted, and everyone suddenly agreed, and they all raised their knives and stepped forward to dismember Emperor Sui Yang's body.
"Wait a minute! The Son of Heaven has his own way of death, why should he use a sharp edge?" Emperor Sui Yang, who knew that his death was approaching, became more calm, and shouted: "Bring poisonous wine! I want to kill myself!"
"When is this? Where are we going to find poisoned wine?" Sima Dekan said with a sneer.
Emperor Sui Yang didn't speak, but just took off his clothes belt and handed it to the rebels. Linghu Xingda, Ma Wenju and others understood, took the belt and went forward to put it on Emperor Sui Yang's neck. At the last moment of his life, Emperor Yang of Sui once again regained his wisdom and wisdom when he was enthroned, and said in a loud voice quickly: "My final will is to make Yang Tong, the king of Yue, inherit the great order, and give Daxing to stay behind Chen Yingliang with a fake yellow axe. General Zuo Yiwei, assisting the King of Yue to ascend the throne, avenging me! No matter who you are, first send my edict to Dongdu, to Daxing, I... "
"Strangle him to death!" Yu Wenzhi yelled when he woke up, Linghu Xingda, Ma Wenju and the others also rushed to do it, pulling the belt violently, causing the belt to tighten Sui Yang Emperor's neck.
"I bestow pardon, pardon him not to die..." This was the last sentence of Emperor Sui Yang's life. After the belt strangled his neck, he could no longer make a sound, his breathing gradually stopped, his eyes gradually filled with bloodshot eyes, and finally He tilted his head and died on the spot.
Many people were buried with Emperor Sui Yang. After Emperor Sui Yang was hanged to death, the red-eyed rebel generals killed his eldest grandson Yan Wang Yang Tan, Xiao Ju, Yu Wenyu and others, and then slaughtered them. Shu King Yang Xiu and his seven sons, who were imprisoned in the Xiaoguowei camp, sent people to kill their son Qi Wang Yang Jun, who was never favored by Emperor Sui Yang, and Yang Jun's two sons in Jiangdu. The imperial family and relatives of the Sui court were almost wiped out, only Yang Hao, the nephew and grandson of Emperor Sui Yang, escaped to death, and was supported by Yu Wenhua and his brothers as the puppet emperor.
Yu Shiji, the minister of internal history, Pei Yun, the imperial historian, Lai Huer, General Zuo Yiwei, Yuan Chong, Secretary Supervisor, Yu Wenxie, General You Yiwei, and their sons were also killed. Among them, Yu Shiji and Yuan Chong who insisted on moving the capital can be said Except that they deserved what they deserved, everyone else died unjustly, especially General Zuo Yiwei who came to protect his son, who won the hearts of the army because of his high prestige, and was feared by Brother Yuwen and the rebel generals. He resolutely opposed moving the capital and repeatedly begged Emperor Sui Yang to return to Daxing. In order to eliminate hidden dangers, he still sent troops to surround his mansion and killed him and his three sons.
Just like in history, Emperor Sui Yang slept in a crude coffin nailed with bed boards, Brother Yang, you won.
