The next morning, Emperor Wen summoned the two ministers according to the sixth prince Yang Zheng's instructions.
Liu Shu, assistant minister of the Ministry of War, is the emperor's son-in-law.
Yuan Yan, the assistant minister of the Yellow Gate, was a personal attendant. He was in charge of conveying the imperial edict and assisting the Emperor in handling the affairs of the court.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
As they walked into the hall, Liu Shu and Yuan Yan kowtowed as part of the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects.
"Rise."
Because of yesterday's incident, Sui Wendi's complexion was a little bad, but he still maintained his calm and said.
After the two of them entered, the eunuch with the Yellow Gate Order had already been captured and was secretly detained in the hall of Benevolence and Longevity Palace.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Shu and Yuan Yan cupped their hands and thanked him.
"Take a look!"
Exhaling a heavy breath, Emperor Wen of Sui threw another book about Yang Guang's crimes on the table in front of him.
Last night, according to the name list provided by Yang Zheng, he avoided some civil and military officials and secretly verified this matter.
The result was obviously true, and it was even more than what was written in the book of accusations.
"This!"
Liu Shu and Yuan Yan turned pale with fright after reading only a portion of the contents. They looked at each other, afraid that something big was about to happen.
"Crown Prince Yang Guang looks kind and filial, but in reality, he is extremely sinister.”
"Minister Yuan, draft an edict for me.”
"The content of the edict is that I want to abolish Yang Guang and change the sixth prince, Yang Zheng, to the crown prince!”
After all, he was the emperor who had founded a dynasty. Emperor Wen of Sui said sternly.
As an emperor who was a general, Emperor Wen knew that he had to control Yang Guang at this moment.
Otherwise…
At the very least, Yang Guang would charge into Benevolence Longevity Palace and directly launch a palace coup!
In the worst case scenario, the Great Sui Dynasty would be split into two, turning into a long chaotic battle!
This was not a possibility, but something that would definitely happen. He had to be careful.
"This subject has received the imperial edict."
Knowing the severity of the situation and the urgency of time, Yuan Yan immediately drafted an edict.
"Fuma, quickly summon Minister of War Zhangsun Sheng.”
Just as he finished speaking, Emperor Wen of Sui did not rest and added.
"Yes, I will go now."
Liu Shu quickly walked towards the office of the Ministry of War.
Zhangsun Sheng was naturally Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Wugou's biological father!
"I…"
Zhangsun Sheng was about to bow when Emperor Wen waved his hand and dismissed him.
After all, there was no room for delay now, so he had to save as much time as possible.
"Minister Zhangsun, immediately send out a few trusted generals and lead the Vigorous Fruit Guards to surround Prince Jin's residence and the Eastern Palace.”
"Other than that, the imperial guards of the twelve constabularies guard the palace gates and gates. Without my orders, not a single soldier is allowed to move!”
Even though he was old, Sui Wendi's thoughts were still clear and his way of handling things was still unique.
"Yes!"
Along the way, he had already heard from Prince Consort Liu Shu about this matter. Zhangsun Sheng naturally understood the seriousness of this matter and replied.
With that, he hurriedly mobilized the most elite imperial guards in the palace, the Vigor Guards!
"Prince Consort Liu, immediately bring people to bring the Sixth Prince to the Palace of Benevolence and Longevity, including his mother and Madam Ronghua.”
Before he finished, Emperor Wen of Sui turned his head and looked at his son-in-law, Liu Shu.
"Yes."
Liu Shu did not dare to stay any longer and hurriedly left the Benevolent Longevity Palace.
One had to know that the key to deposing the Crown Prince this time was still the Sixth Prince, Yang Zheng.
As long as the sixth prince Yang Zheng could arrive at the Benevolent Longevity Palace, these depositions would be half successful.
Seeing that the imperial edict was already being written and the army had begun to mobilize, Emperor Wen of Sui heaved a sigh of relief.
After arranging all of this, Emperor Wen of Sui felt deeply that the sixth prince Yang Zheng was far-sighted and was even more determined in his decision.
If they were a step slower, the consequences would be unimaginable. The Great Sui Dynasty would not last long.
Recalling how he had handed the country over to Yang Guang, Emperor Wen of Sui really did not dare to imagine what would happen to Great Sui!
"Greetings, Emperor."
"Greetings, Imperial Father."
The voices of Yang Zheng, his mother, and Madam Ronghua rang out.
"Stand up, there's no need to be so polite."
When he saw that Yang Zheng was safe and sound, Sui Wendi finally relaxed. Everything was still in time.
Empress Dugu's mistake could still be salvaged. God bless Great Sui!
"Imperial Father, your son requests to go with General Zhangsun to put down this rebellion.”
After his mother sat down, Yang Zheng took a few steps forward and said in a clear voice.
"Zheng 'er…"
Madam Xuanhua shook her head and said worriedly.
He hoped that Zheng 'er would give up on this decision. It was too dangerous!
From the corner of his eyes, Yang Zheng cast a look at his mother, telling her not to worry. His determination was unprecedentedly firm.
"Zheng 'er, what do you think?”
After a moment of silence, Sui Wendi looked at Yang Zheng, who was only twelve years old, with a burning gaze.
"My Great Sui Dynasty is founded on martial arts. As a prince, I should set an example and do my best to deal with this matter.”
Yang Zheng's every word and sentence could be said to be powerful and resonating, shaking people's hearts.
For a moment, it was full of prestige!
Yuan Yan, who was writing the edict, was shocked. He did not expect the sixth prince to have the demeanor of an emperor and be so intelligent.
Unlike the deposed Crown Prince Yang Yong and the current Crown Prince Yang Guang, the Sixth Prince had no foundation and no prestige in the court.
However, the Sixth Prince saw this opportunity and wanted to use this incident to establish his prestige.
Furthermore, he still had to go with Zhangsun Sheng to show that they were on the same side, and to build his own team.
Emperor's Heart Technique!
Having been an official for many years and often staying by the Emperor's side, Yuan Yan thought of these words.
Prince Six was only twelve years old…
Yuan Yan felt an inexplicable sense of awe. He did not dare to look directly at the sixth prince, Yang Zheng. This was the emperor's prestige that only Sui Wendi had.
Zheng 'er was indeed a genius!
With regards to this, Sui Wendi's eyes shone brightly. He was more and more satisfied with Yang Zheng and rejoiced at the decision to change the crown prince today.
With such a talented prince, even if he passed away in the future, he could leave the world with peace of mind.
"Good, this is what a man of Great Sui should be like!"
Nodding his head, Sui Wendi felt very much in agreement and was very happy.
"Zheng 'er, take Minister Yuan to the Eastern Palace to announce the decree. If Yang Guang resisted, you can order an attack on the Eastern Palace.”
"However, as long as he is willing to surrender, let him live!”
Sui Wendi closed his eyes and sighed.
The struggle for the throne had turned into a fight between brothers. A living example was placed in front of him. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty suddenly aged a lot.
"Your son accepts the order."
"Yes."
Looking at the departing figure, Madam Ronghua covered her mouth. She was obviously very surprised by today's incident and had deep doubts.
Wasn't the Crown Prince the Second Prince Yang Guang? When did he become the Sixth Prince Yang Zheng?
Could it be…
Madam Ronghua thought of the unforeseen event and looked at Madam Xuanhua with envy.
When this incident in the palace was over, his son Yang Zheng would ascend to the throne and become the respected Empress Dowager!
He envied Madam Xuanhua's good fortune and envied having such a child.
On the other hand, Madam Xuan Hua only had lingering worry. There was no trace of happiness.
"You can leave."
Everything was arranged properly. Emperor Wen, who did not look well, wanted to rest and wait for the next news.
"Yes."
Hearing this, Madam Xuanhua and Madam Ronghua bowed and left.
After that, he headed to the side hall of the Palace of Benevolence and Longevity, which was heavily guarded, to ensure the necessary safety.
