This story is adapted from "Xingshi Hengyan", formerly known as "Emperor Yang of Sui".It is said that Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian was originally a powerful minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and later forced Emperor Jing of Zhou to expound the Zen position himself. Seven years later, he sent 500,000 troops to attack Nan Chen, and the Southern Chen Emperor Chen Shubao was defeated and surrendered, and the Chen Dynasty perished. Emperor Wen of Sui ruled the country and did not close his door at night, and did not leave the road behind.
Empress Dugu Jialuo, who was jealous by nature and advocated "monogamy", gave birth to five sons for Emperor Wen. The eldest son, Yang Yong, has been canonized as the crown prince of the East Palace. Just because he favors the side concubine Yun'er, none of the children born to him have a concubine, and they are all concubines. As a result, the concubine Yuan died of depression due to lack of favor. Queen Dugu was very dissatisfied with this, and often counted his shortcomings in front of Emperor Wen. Emperor Wen was very afraid of guilt, and after listening to her words, he gradually became alienated from Yang Yong.
Emperor Wen's second son, Yang Guang, King of Jin, was born smart and handsome, with a dignified appearance. Since the age of ten, he has been reading ancient books diligently, and he is familiar with astronomy and geography, hundreds of miscellaneous arts, and medical prescriptions. But he has a suspicious heart, has a very good city, and can endure humiliation. After he spied on Yang Yong who was disgusted by his mother, he only spent time alone with Concubine Xiao and never cherished other concubines. Whenever Emperor Wen and Queen Dugu sent someone, they had to greet Concubine Xiao in person and treat them hospitablely. Before leaving, he will give gold and silver. Therefore everyone went to the queen and praised him. King Kuajin is filial and intelligent, unlike the prince who is mean and unkind, and favors Ah Yun, so that he gave birth to many concubines.
Queen Dugu thought so, and slandered Emperor Wen day and night, saying that the crown prince Yang Yong was not worthy of inheriting the throne. Later, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, spent a lot of money to befriend Yang Su, the prince of Yue, and called him the first prince. Yang Su was the first hero under Emperor Wen, and Emperor Wen obeyed him. In the end, with the internal and external assistance of Queen Dugu and Yang Su. Emperor Wen abolished the crown prince Yang Yong as a concubine and imprisoned him in the cold palace. Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was renamed as the crown prince. On the day he was ordained, the earth shook. All the officials knew about his conspiracy to seize the heir. Only Yang Su was proud, thinking that Yang Guang's establishment was all his credit.
After the death of Empress Dugu, Emperor Wen was able to get close to the harem concubines. Among them, there is a Xuanhua wife, Chen, who was originally the daughter of Emperor Xuan of the Chen Dynasty. After the fall of the Chen Dynasty, he was assigned to the court. She is intelligent by nature, has a unique appearance, and is the exclusive favor of Emperor Wen. When Emperor Wen was seriously ill, his wife and the crown prince Yang Guang served together. In the second half of the night, Mrs. went to the side hall to change clothes, and Yang Guang followed, wanting to misbehave. The lady struggled to break free and ran back to Inshou Palace. Emperor Wen saw that her expression was abnormal, so he asked the reason. The husband said with tears in his eyes: "The prince is rude. Emperor Wen was furious: "How can livestock be entrusted with big things." Dugu misunderstands me. "At the moment, it was urgent to pass on the military department Shangshu Liu Shu, Huangmen Shilang Yuanyan, and Sikong Yue Gong Yang Su to meet him. Ordered them to summon the deposed prince Yang Yong. Yang Su refused to obey the edict on the grounds that the country's capital could not change repeatedly, and privately informed Yang Guang: "Things have changed rapidly." Yang Guang immediately planned to dispatch and blockade Renshou Palace. Not long after, the news of Emperor Wen's death came from the inner chamberlain.
That night, Yang Guang sent someone to give a brocade box to Mrs. Xuanhua. Madame thought that the wine was too much, but did not dare to open it, but opened it at the urging of the messenger. I saw a few concentric knots in the box. Madame got up angrily and refused to thank her. The palace maids and eunuchs were worried about causing death, so they pressed together, and the lady had no choice but to thank the messenger. Subsequently, Yang Guang summoned his mother, Mrs. Xuanhua, and blessed her. In addition, he also sent someone to kill the deposed prince Yang Yong on the night before Emperor Wen's funeral, and then ascended the throne.
Yue Gong Yang Su, proud of his merits, often called Yang Guang Langjun, a banquet in the palace, the eunuch accidentally spilled wine on him. Yang Su scolded loudly, and drank the order to pull down and whip left and right. Yang Guang was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't bear it. Again, Yang Guang asked Yang Su to fish in Houyuan, and the two sat side by side. Halfway through Yang Guang got up to congratulate, and when he returned, he saw Yang Su sitting under the ochre umbrella, with a beautiful demeanor, radiant appearance, and a faint imperial demeanor, and he suddenly felt jealous. And every time Yang Guang made a move, Yang Su stopped him at every turn, so he held even more grudges in his heart. One day, Yang Su was about to go to the court, when he suddenly saw Emperor Wen chasing after him with a golden axe, and scolded in his mouth: "Thief, I want to establish Yang Yong, but you don't listen to me." I'm going to kill you today. Yang Su was shocked and hurriedly hid in the house. He summoned his two sons and said, "My time of death has come, and I just went out to see Emperor Wen like this." Soon after, he died. When Yang Guang learned the news, he laughed and said, "Fortunately, he himself died, otherwise I would have punished him for the Nine Clans." Since then, he has no fear and has begun to indulge in women.
One day, Yang Guang said to his servant Gao Chang: "If it is peaceful today, there is nothing to do inside and outside, it is the time to enjoy yourself." Although the present palace is magnificent and spacious, it has not built a unique inner room, and if there is, I am willing to grow old in it. Gao Chang replied: "Xiang Sheng, a friend of the minister, can take on this responsibility." The next day, Yang Guang summoned Xiang Sheng into the palace for questioning. Two days later, Xiang Sheng presented the palace book. Yang Guang looked at the dragon's heart and was happy. On the same day, he issued an edict to supply tools and timber to the Yamen, and tens of thousands of people were levied, which lasted a year and was finally completed. The pavilion in the palace is high, the Xuan window is reflected, the secluded room is curved room, the jade column is Zhu Yu, it is connected to each other, the loop is four, and the window and door are self-passing. Don't say that people are immortals, and if you strayed into it, you should get lost. The ingenuity of the architecture is incomparable. The amount of gold and silver was uncountable, and the treasury was empty.
After Yang Guang visited, he was overjoyed and gave the name: "Lost Building". The reward is 1,000 horses of gold silk and the five-grade official salary. An edict was issued to select thousands of women from good families from the people to live in the maze building. Yang Guang was fortunate to be alone every day, and he did not come out for several months.
Doctor He Chou took the opportunity to offer the royal lady's car. This car was specially built for the emperor's fortunate debut. The body is cramped, only accommodating one person, and there are mechanisms on the car. After opening, it can restrain the woman's hands and feet, and can make the woman's body slender and immovable. After Yang Guang tried it, he liked it very much. The reward is a thousand taels. He Chou also offered to turn off the car, the car climbed the pavilion, such as walking on the ground, in the car to have fun, the body shook autonomously. In addition, Yang Guang also ordered the painter to paint dozens of pictures of ladies and ladies hanging in the building. In addition, dozens of bronze mirrors were cast and placed around the dormitory as screens. Every fortunate woman, every move is in her eyes.
He opened up another 200 miles of land and requisitioned millions of people to build the West Garden. Pile up stones for the mountain, collect the world's strange flowers and trees, rare birds and beasts are full of it. There are 16 courtyards in the garden, and each courtyard has a number of stunning women. It has also been artificially excavated in all corners of the world. Each lake has a radius of ten miles. According to the southeast, northwest and central locations, they are Cuiguang Lake, Yingyang Lake, Jinguang Lake, Jieshui Lake and Guangming Lake. Dig the North Sea again, and follow Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou in the middle with three immortal mountains. In the sixth year of the great cause, Yang Guang ordered the opening of a royal road from the palace to the West Garden, and since then, he often improvised to have fun in the middle of the night.
There is a magistrate of Daozhou, a tribute dwarf, this person is surnamed Wang, although he is extremely short, but he has thick eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is sensitive. Therefore, it is deeply loved by Yang Guang. Every time he travels, he has to take it with him, but he is not allowed to enter the palace. Wang Yi then swung his sword from the palace and begged to accompany the king. Yang Guang felt that he was loyal and even more compassionate, and allowed him to enter and leave the inner palace and sleep under the royal couch.
In the middle of the night, Yang Guang quietly came to Qiluan Courtyard. happened to meet the nightmare of the concubine Qing'er. Yang Guang asked her why she was so frightened? Qing'er said: "The concubine dreamed of visiting the Sixteenth Courtyard with His Majesty. When he arrived at the tenth court, His Majesty was sitting in the temple, and suddenly a fire broke out all around. The concubine hurried away. When he turned around, he saw that His Majesty was still sitting in the flames, so he exclaimed that the palace people would help him, but he couldn't wake up for a long time. Yang Guang explained: "Dreams die to live, and fire has the potential to be powerful." I dwell in the midst of it, and the Lord has its might. Later, the place where Yang Guang was killed was the tenth courtyard of the Jiangdu Palace, and he was dreaming of it.
Another day, Yang Guang stared at the "Guangling Map" on the wall for a long time and couldn't move (Guangling: refers to Yangzhou). Empress Xiao asked him, "What kind of painting is this, which can make Your Majesty so concerned?" Yang Guang said: "I don't love this painting, but I remember that I traveled here when I was the queen of Chen in the past. Now sitting on the world, every day is full of opportunities, and it is difficult to be like the beginning. After speaking, his face was sad. Xiao Hou said: "Your Majesty intends to visit Guangling, why don't you go for a visit?" Yang ** said, suddenly realized. On the same day, he convened the ministers and discussed a trip to Guangling.
The ministers admonished to stop: "This goes to Guangling, more than 10,000 miles, Mengjin is in a hurry, the sea is turbulent, even if you take a big boat, in case you encounter wind and waves, I am afraid of accidents." There is a counselor Xiao Huaijing, who is the younger brother of the queen, and said: "When the minister heard about Qin Shi Huang, there was a royal spirit in Jinling, and the first emperor sent someone to chisel the pillar, and the royal spirit dissipated. Now looking at the celestial phenomena, Suiyang is also kingly. His Majesty intends to go to Jiangnan, but he is worried about the risks along the way. Daliang (a dynasty in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, located in Kaifeng, Henan Province) has an old river in the northwest, why not your majesty levy the people, dig from the girder, west from Heyin, lead Mengjin water into, east to Huaiyin, put Mengjin water out, dig a canal, so the journey is not a thousand miles, and pass through Suiyang. First, you can go directly to Guangling, and secondly, you can chisel through the king's spirit, wouldn't you kill two birds with one stone. ”
Yang Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered those who dared to dissuade the river openers from beheading. Ma Shumou, the governor of Zhengbei, was appointed as the protector of Kaihe, and Li Yuan, the general of Dangkou, was appointed as the deputy envoy of Kaihe. Li Yuan said that he was sick and could not go, and he was reappointed as the general of Zuotunwei and Ling Huda instead. The edict was issued to the world to recruit husbands: all men over the age of 15 and under 50 must serve, and those who conceal and do not report will be beheaded by the three clans, with a total of more than 5.43 million husbands. Digging day and night, as urgent as a spark. He also issued an edict to the states of Jianghuai to build 500 large ships to stand by. In order to cooperate with the government's shipbuilding, many people's family property is still insufficient, and they are shackled to show the public, forcing them to sell their children and daughters for official expenses.
When the river was about to be completed, the dragon boats were also built. Yang Guang ordered Yang Tong, the king of Yue, to stay in the eastern capital of Luoyang, and he led hundreds of civil and military officials, concubines and palace maids, and soldiers to Jiangdu (now Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province). On the tenth day of the boat, Chang'an paid tribute to Yuan Bao'er, a young woman of fifteen, with a slender waist and limbs, delicate and lovely, and was deeply favored by Yang Guang. One day, Yang Guangzhao secretary Lang Yu Shinan drafted a notice for the expedition to Liao (Liaodong), and Yuan Baoer held the flower and waited aside. Yang Guang saw Bao'er staring at Yu Shinan for a long time, and couldn't help but say to him: "In the past, it was rumored that Zhao Feiyan could dance in the palm of his hand, but I often say that this is a Confucian rhetoric, how can people do it?" Now that I have Bao'er, I know that this matter is true. Ran Bao'er is innocent and coquettish, staring at Yu Qing in the hall, Qing is a talent, why not make a poem to mock it. Yu Shinan received the order, and immediately presented a seven-word poem: "Ying Zhao Mocking the Flower Girl" learned to paint the crow yellow and half unsuccessful, and the shoulders and sleeves were too simple. Yuanhan was cherished by the king, and he walked with flowers and branches. (The gist of it is: Although Si Hua Nu's painting skills are not skilled, she is slender and innocent, and she is deeply loved by the emperor and can always accompany the king.) ）
When the dragon boat traveled to Bianjing (Kaifeng, Henan), Yang Guang ordered 500 women of fifteen or sixteen years old to be selected from Wuyue (Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions) to come to pull fiber, called the palace foot girl. Each boat has ten colored cables, and each rope has ten women at the foot of the temple and ten young sheep, and the people and sheep walk together. It was the height of summer, and Yu Shiji, a scholar from Hanlin University, proposed that weeping willows be planted on the embankment on both sides of the canal, and the roots of the trees would be staggered to protect the embankment. The second is to provide a place for the maiden at the foot of the temple to take a cool seat. The three sheep can eat leaves to satisfy their hunger. Yang Guang adopted his suggestion and ordered the people to offer a willow tree and a silk horse. For a time, the people rushed to offer willows. Yang Guang personally planted the first plant, and the ministers then planted it in turn, and finally the people planted it. After planting, Yang Guangti gave the weeping willow the surname Yang and the name Yang.
One day, when Yang Guang boarded the dragon boat, he accidentally found that Wu Jiangxian, the girl at the foot of the palace, had a beautiful appearance and excellent temperament, and suddenly fell in love and refused to move for a long time. After returning to the ship, he immediately summoned the fairy to sleep and named her "Lady Kongtong". Jiang Xian is good at drawing long moth eyebrows, and Yang Guang often can't help but look at her. So the women at the foot of the palace rushed to follow suit, and everyone drew long eyebrows. The snail dai used in the thrush of the fairy is from Persia, and each one is worth ten gold. Due to the scarcity of quantity, the rest of the concubines can only use copper dai. Only the snail Dai is endless. Every time Yang Guang stared at her by the curtain, he couldn't bear to take his eyes off her, praising her for her beauty and food.
Even Yaoguang Aya, who was paid tribute by Yuexi (now Yuexi Town, Weiyuan County, Sichuan Province), only rewarded her and Yuan Bao'er, the flower girl. Empress Xiao was indignant when she found out. angered the two, and the two gradually lost the opportunity to get close to the emperor.
After the dragon boat arrived in Guangling, the maiden at the foot of the palace was ordered to stay in the Yueguan Palace. A military attache returned from Guazhou and offered a piece of acacia fruit. Yang Guang ordered Xiao Huangmen to take out a pair and ride a fast horse to give it to Jiangxian. Because of the immediate jolting and shaking, when it was delivered, the acacia was already scattered. The immortal thanked for the reward, and attached a piece of red paper, which read: The post horse passes the double fruit, and the king is deeply favored. Rather know the resignation of the emperor, there is no compound joy. Yang Guang was displeased after seeing it, and asked Xiao Huangmen: "Why did Jiangxian leave me, is she so dissatisfied?" Xiao Huangmen said: "Just hurry up, when you arrive at the palace, the acacia fruit has been dispersed, and it will no longer be connected." Yang Guang sighed: "The immortal is both talented and beautiful, and the real woman is the same." ”
During Yang Guang's stay in Guangling, he became more and more promiscuous, indulging in women's sex, so that his energy decreased sharply. He often went to the Jitai of Wu Mansion (the place where Wu Wangfu traveled and enjoyed himself in the Spring and Autumn Period), and met Chen Houzhu in a trance. remembered that he had befriended the queen when he was a child, so he hurriedly got up to greet him, and forgot for a moment that the queen was dead. Seeing dozens of women around the queen, one of them was the most beautiful, Yang Guang couldn't help but take a few more looks. The queen said: "Your Highness doesn't know this person?" She is Concubine Zhang Lihua. Every time I think of Peach Leaf Mountain, I will take a warship to cross north with her. At that time, she was trying out the purple pen of Dong Guo Qian in Linchun Pavilion, and wrote a red note to answer Jiang Ling's "Biyue" poem, but unfortunately the sentence had not yet been written, and Han Baohu had already ridden a green horse to support the troops and went straight in, and hurriedly persecuted, so that there is today. After speaking, he sighed and invited Yang Guang to drink.
After Yang Guang drank a few glasses, he wanted to invite Zhang Lihua to dance "Yushu Backyard Flowers". Lihua excused herself on the grounds that she was old and unfamiliar, and after coming from the well, her waist became thicker and fatter, and she no longer had the style of the past. Yang Guang repeatedly asked, but Lihua had no choice but to dance slowly. At the end of the song, the queen asked Yang Guang: "How is Concubine Xiao compared to her?" Yang Guang said: "Chunlan and autumn chrysanthemum, each has its own merits. Then the lord asked, "Is the dragon boat trip happy?" At first, I thought that His Highness's rule was above Yao Shun, but I still wander here today. Most people have their own pleasures in this life, so why did they see that my sin was deeper in the first place? Thinking about those thirty-six urgent documents is still unpleasant. When Yang Guang heard this, he suddenly woke up to the fact that the Lord was dead. He rebuked loudly: "Why do you still call me Your Highness today? And you question me about the past? Before the words fell, the queen lord and the others disappeared leisurely.
Yang Guang was shocked, and it took a long time to calm down. Then he left the Jigong platform and drove back to the boat. Halfway through, I suddenly heard someone singing outside, singing sadly, to the effect: My brother went to conquer Goryeo in Liaodong and starved to death under the green mountains. I worked as a slender man pulling a dragon boat again, and I was trapped in the thousands of miles of Sui embankment. Now there is famine everywhere in the world, and there is less and less food to eat along the way. There are still 3,000 miles ahead, can my life be saved? The cold bones lying in the barren sand are like lonely souls crying. The poor wife was emaciated by grief, and the parents were looking forward to the return of their children. How can you find a chivalrous man, burn this ownerless corpse, lead his lonely soul, and carry his ashes back to his hometown.
Yang Guang heard this song and hurriedly sent people to arrest the singer. The people who went looked for a long time but were nowhere to be found. Yang Guang's heart was hesitant and he couldn't sleep all night. He knew that the fortunes of the country were coming to an end, and planned to visit Yongjia (now Yongjia County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang) again, but because the ministers were unwilling to go, he had to give up. He also ordered all localities to go to Yangzhou to meet him. As a result, none of the tributes from all over the world came. Those who were willing to come, the tribute was robbed by the rebels on the way. Even so, Yang Guangwu discussed with his ministers and issued thirteen edicts in succession, wanting to raise troops to kill those courtiers who did not pay tribute.
He was well versed in metaphysics and watched the heavens at night. Once, he asked Taishi Ling Yuan Chong: "How is the celestial phenomenon?" Yuan Chong lay on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "The celestial phenomena are fierce, there are thieves and stars forcing the emperor to be very anxious, and I am afraid that disasters will arise, may Your Majesty cultivate virtue as soon as possible to destroy it." Yang Guang was unhappy in his heart, got up and entered the hall, drank and sang to himself: "The palace wood is thick and the swallows are flying, and the rise and fall have been sad since ancient times." He is more beautiful in the building, and the palace is full of love and red light. After singing, I was sad. After being silent for a long time, he summoned the dwarf Wang Yi and asked, "Do you know that the world will be in chaos?" Wang Yi cried and said: "The ministers are in the countryside and the people, and the local generals will pay tribute to the ministers, and the ministers will serve His Majesty closely, and they will be in the palace themselves." The chaos in the world is not caused by a day, and when you step on the frost, you should think that the day of freezing is coming. This situation has been going on for a long time. The minister had expected that a catastrophe was coming, but he could not do anything about it. Yang Guang said: "Why didn't you report me earlier?" Wang Yi said: "The minister must keep silent, otherwise he will already be dead and his bones will wither." Yang Guang couldn't help but burst into tears, and said: "In this way, you can state the reason for the chaos, so that I can also know the situation." ”
The next day, Wang Yi wrote a letter, which read: The minister was born in the barren land of Southern Chu, and he was fortunate to meet the saint when he was governing the country, and he was willing to pay tribute with his body. The minister is a dwarf, and he is confused by nature. I've been around for years. To be able to win the emperor's favor is the hope of the minister's life. Although the minister is humble, he loves to read, knows the origin of beast evil, and knows the reason for the rise and fall of the beast. Deeply deceived by the emperor's advisers, he dared to state the reason. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has acted arbitrarily and has not listened to advice. Daxing Xiyuan, two expeditions to Liaodong. There are more than 10,000 dragon boats, and the palaces are all over the world. Millions of servants, the livelihood of the people is difficult, and the labor force is exhausted. On the expedition to Liaodong, there were not 10 dead and wounded in 100, and not 1 in 10. The treasury is empty, and the price of rice has skyrocketed. However, the emperor took the jade chariot and traveled as usual. Leave the soldiers in the palace alone to guard the empty palace. It has been a long time, so that the Quartet has been disappointed, and the society has been desolate. Nowadays, there are only a handful of villages with people. Most of the young and middle-aged died in military service, leaving the old and weak trapped in deserted villages. The corpses of soldiers piled up, and people who died of starvation were scattered all over the suburbs. The dead meat that pigs and dogs are tired of eating attracts eagles in the sky and fish in the water, and the stench can be smelled thousands of miles away. The wind gusted in the ruins, and the lonely souls cried under the dry grass. Looking far away, there is no smoke for thousands of miles. All the people are in displacement, and the day is precarious. The father abandoned his young son, and the wife cried for the death of her husband. Though the lonely, the famine is even greater. Displacement, who knows if you live or die. Why does the king love his people?
His Majesty has a resolute personality, and no one dares to admonish him. Those who dare to speak up will be given death. In order to protect themselves, the ministers dared to discuss. Left and right close ministers, flattery, catering to the holy will, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, and occluding the saints. Even if Your Majesty is very wrong, how can you know about it? Now Liaodong is defeated, and he travels to the south of the Yangtze River. The society is in danger like spring snow, and the Quartet is full of fighting. The people have been devastated, and the officials still dare not speak. Your Majesty thinks to himself, what is the plan? His Majesty wants to ask the teacher for the crime, but the ministers do not obey. If you want to travel, the soldiers don't follow, how can you deal with yourself in such a situation? Although Your Majesty has the heart to cultivate virtue, the world cannot be restored. Now that the tide is gone, the time is no longer coming. The tilt of the huge building is unsupportable; The flood river burst its banks, and a handful of soil cannot be saved. The minister does not know the taboo, how dare he not speak out when it is critical. If you don't die today, you will die in the future. Dare to dedicate this book, lead the neck to die.
After reading the recital, Yang Guang forced himself to calm down: "Since ancient times, how can there be an immortal country, an immortal lord?" Wang Yi said: "Your Majesty still wants to cover up your mistakes?" Your Majesty often said: I should cross the three emperors, surpass the five emperors, and look down on the Shang and Zhou dynasties, so that the eternal world is unreachable. What's going on today? Is there still a chance to return to the Eastern Capital? Yang Guang sighed and said no more. Wang Yi also said: "The minister did not say anything in the past, but cherished life. Today I said, "I will pay for my sins with death." The world is in turmoil, and I hope Your Majesty will cherish it. After saying that, he walked outside the temple and killed himself. reported to Yang Guang left and right, Yang Guang was very sad, and ordered someone to bury Wang Yi.
At that time, Pei Qiantong (official name) of the prison gate Zhige, Sima Dejiao, general of Hu Benlang (official name), and Yu Wenhua, the general of Tunwei (official name), planned a rebellion. He wrote to Emperor Yang of Sui to release the palace slaves. Yang Guangzhun played. Then he issued an edict saying: The cold comes and the summer comes, so it becomes a year's work. The sun and the moon alternate, so when there is work and rest. Therefore, the scholars have a rest, and the farmers have a festival of recuperation. You are diligent in your service, you don't slack off, the dirt overflows your fingers, the lice are tied to the helmet, and you can't bear it. Let you go home and rest, and be free from restraint from now on. I am a servant, which can be described as a preferential treatment. It can be implemented in accordance with the previous implementation.
A few days later, suddenly overnight, there was a scream outside, Yang Guang hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, and when he came to the inner hall to sit for a short time, the ambush soldiers on the left and right poured in and surrounded him in the middle. Sima Dejiao approached step by step with a sharp blade in his hand. Yang Guangsheng reprimanded: "I have raised you for many years, I haven't failed you, how can you bear me." Zhu Gui'er, a palace lady beside him, stepped forward and said to Sima Dejiao: "Three days ago, Your Majesty was worried that the guards were short of clothes in the cold, so he personally urged the palace people to sew thousands of cold cotton robes, and the production was completed within two days, and everyone was rewarded, how can you not know?" Dare to coerce the emperor. After speaking, he scolded Sima Dejiao more than once.
Sima Dejiao drew his sword and killed Zhu Gui'er, and blood splattered the dragon robe. Sima Dejiao stepped forward to count Yang Guang's crimes, and said, "The minister told Your Majesty the truth. Now that the whole country has rebelled, Luoyang and Chang'an have been occupied by traitors, and His Majesty can't go back if he wants to. The minister's move has been lost, and he is willing to take His Majesty's head to thank the world. After saying that, he swung his sword again and persecuted. Yang Guang scolded angrily: "Don't you know that the blood of the princes has entered the soil, and there has been a great drought for three years, let alone the Son of Heaven?" I have my own way of dying. After that, he asked for poisoned wine. handed Bai Lian a strip to the left and right, Yang Guang took it, got up and entered, and hanged himself.
After his death, Empress Xiao led Gong'e, dismantled the bed board for a coffin, hastily buried it, and buried it under the platform of Wu Gong, that is, the place where Emperor Yang and Empress Chen met before. Yang Guang's third son, Yang Yong, the king of Qi, was not loved by his father. On the night of the palace change, Yang Guang once said to Queen Xiao: "Could it be that Ah Zi rebelled? "Ah Child, it is the nickname of King Qi. After Sima Dejiao killed Yang Guang, he led his troops to rush into the palace of the king of Qi and drove him naked into the street. Yang Jun thought that his father sent someone to kill him, and said: "The emperor wants to kill his son, and Rong'er will die again." "The poor father and son were both killed, but they died without knowing the truth.
Later, Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, led troops into Beijing, saw the maze building, and sighed: "This is the anointing of the people's blood." Then he ordered the palace maids to be released and the palace to be burned. Later generations have poems as evidence: once the ten-mile long river opens, the waves of the dead Sui come for nine days. Jinfan has not fallen, and the melancholy dragon boat does not return.
