Chapter 16 The Change of Renshou Palace (8)
The tower became quiet for a moment. Yang Guang picked up a piece of charcoal from the corner of the wall and rewritten the two words "Daye" on the smooth white jade wall. He stared at these two words for a long time.
"Yuan Qing, do you know what these two words mean?" Yang Guang turned around and asked.
Yang Yuanqing leaned against the wall and looked at Yang Guang's writing silently. He knew what "Daye" meant, and he could also understand Yang Guang's mood at this time.
"I think this should be the dream in your highness's heart."
Yang Guang nodded with praise, "You are right, this is indeed my dream, this will be the year number I will use after ascending the throne, and this is also the expectation of my father for me."
Yang Guang stared at the word "Daye" on the wall, and it seemed to say to Yang Yuanqing, and it seemed to be talking to himself, "The father set the country name as Kaihuang, which means creation. He was like Emperor Gaozu of Han, who created a new Han Dynasty, and like the rule of Wenjing. He ascended the throne for twenty years and accumulated strong national strength. In the 20th year of Kaihuang, the father made me the heir, and he changed the year name Renshou. The father would enjoy his old age and handed over the country to me. It was Renshou for my father, but it was the beginning of the revival of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, I decided to set the year name as Daye. I want to establish an unprecedented great cause and establish a strong Sui Empire. I, Yang Guang, also want to become the emperor of the eternal age."
Yang Guang slowly turned his head and stared at Yang Yuanqing with deep eyes, "Can you understand what I mean?"
Yang Yuanqing was also unknowingly infected by Yang Guang's ambitions. He thought of the great achievements made by Yang Guang in history, and his final tragic death, and his eternal infamy, which made Yang Yuanqing's blood boil. He actually developed a courage to go to justice. He restrained his inner excitement and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has ambitions and a humble position is deeply admired, but it is not easy to establish a great cause. The Great Sui Dynasty is actually full of dangers. The powerful and nobles in Guanlong are sharp spears, the Northern Qi sects are cold arrows, the Northern Qi sects are sharp blades, and the Turks and Tuyuhun are external troubles. Your Highness's great cause will surely make enemies on all sides and be in danger. Have you ever thought about what a shield? What a armor? How to defend it?"
Yang Guang's eyes lit up, and he looked at the young young player in front of him in disbelief. Yang Yuanqing actually saw through the crisis he was facing. Every word of his words made Yang Guang feel like a confidant deep in his heart.
"Then what is a shield? What is armor?"
"I think that the people's hearts are shields, and the slow plan is armor."
Yang Yuanqing knelt down slowly on one knee, and his heart was full of excitement and expectation. He already knew that the king who was about to ascend the throne was not a shameless and shameless person. He would not say that he had only three sons and two daughters. He was basically born to the queen, let alone incompetent, incompetent, incompetent, incompetent, intuition and can not dig canals, create imperial examinations, open up the Western Regions, and build the Great Wall.
This is an ambitious emperor of Zhongxing, and an emperor facing crises. Yang Yuanqing hopes from the bottom of his heart that Yang Guang will not repeat the same mistakes. If Yang Guang can listen to his words, cherish the civilian power and military strength, exchange time for space, and slowly pursue it, and not rush to achieve success, the world may not be in chaos, and then the Sui Dynasty will not perish.
If so, Yang Yuanqing was willing to become Yang Guang's first horseman and do his best for his great cause. Because Yang Guang's great cause, that is, his great cause of Yang Yuanqing, established the Great Sui Dynasty into a true Han Dynasty. Yang Yuanqing grew up here, and he sincerely loved this prosperous and powerful Great Sui Empire.
Yang Guang quickly helped him up and sighed, "You are really a young genius. You can actually know the crisis and contradictions I am facing. I am worthy of being Yang Su's grandson. I have remembered your horoscope. People's hearts are shields, and slow pictures are armor. I hope that you can also become my most solid shield."
Yang Yuanqing was silent for a moment. If Yang Guang really listened to his advice, could cherish the people's strength, and could calmly take it, then he would be willing to be Yang Guang's shield. However, Yang Yuanqing knew a little history and with Yang Guang's proud and conceited personality, he would not listen to his advice.
He sincerely hoped that Yang Guang would not repeat the same mistake, but at the same time he was unwilling to tie himself to a king with an uncertain future. Yang Guang could defeat him, but he could not defeat Yang Guang. He was unwilling to do such asymmetry.
Now Yang Guang wants him to make this vow, how can he speak? He doesn't want him to tie himself to a very risky oath like Yuwen Chengdu.
Yang Guang's eyes became sharper, he stared at Yang Yuanqing and asked him slowly, "Why, don't you want to?"
Yang Yuanqing's back was already wet. He knew that he could not help but express his opinion, so he slowly said: "I am only fifteen years old this year. When I am sixty years later, I am still willing to be the shield of your descendants. It is not just Your Majesty. I, Yang Yuanqing, swear here that I am willing to be the shield of the Great Sui Empire forever!"
Yang Yuanqing didn't know what history would go, but at this moment, he had no choice, and Yang Guang's eyes also softened. He gently patted Yang Yuanqing's shoulder, "I remember your oath."

The alarm bells and shouts of killing from Renshou Palace on the mountain alarmed Renshou Palace at the foot of the mountain. The ministers walked out of the house and looked at Renshou Palace on the mountain in surprise. Hundreds of ministers were talking, and no one knew what was happening on the mountain?
Nearly 5,000 left guards of Renshou Palace resting at the foot of the mountain were also urgently mobilized and rushed to the mountain. There were a total of 6,000 guards in Renshou Palace, each with six generals in six days, and they were commanded by six generals of Zhige. Today it was the turn of a thousand left guards led by General He Shaokang of Zhige to be on duty in the palace, and the rest of the soldiers were resting at the foot of the mountain.
The general in charge of the guards of Renshou Palace was Shi Xiang, the general of the Left Guard. He was the son of Shi Ning, a famous general of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He was on duty for one day and one night yesterday and was really tired. Today, he rested in the palace at the foot of the mountain. However, the sudden alarm from the palace woke him up. Shi Xiang was shocked. He immediately ordered five thousand left guard soldiers to reinforce the mountain. At this moment, Yang Su found him.
"General Shi!"
Yang Su hurried over and called Shi Xiang who was about to go up the mountain. Seeing that it was Yang Su, Shi Xiang hurried forward to salute, "Is there anything wrong with the servant?"
Yang Su said worriedly: "The ministers are very worried about the safety of the prince. If the prince fails, it will shake the foundation of the country. I hope Shi Xiang can allow the guards of the East Palace to go up the mountain to participate in the protection of the prince."
There is only one corridor up the mountain, and there are hundreds of left guards guarding this corridor. The terrain is dangerous and it is difficult to kill. Yang Su rushed to find Shi Xiang to let go.
Shi Xiang looked embarrassed, "But the emperor has strict orders that the Eastern Palace and the Prince's Guards are not allowed to enter Renshou Palace, and it is difficult to handle a humble position."
Yang Su lowered his voice and said, "General Shi may not know yet. Liu Shu is going to launch a palace coup, kill the prince, and establish a new king!"
"What!"
Shi Xiang was shocked and his eyes suddenly widened, "Is the Taifu said true?"
"I have exact news!"
Yang Su not only wanted Shi Xiang to order the release, but more importantly, he wanted to get Shi Xiang's support. However, there were only one thousand guards in the Eastern Palace and the King of Jin. There were tens of thousands of soldiers of the twelve guards outside Renshou Palace. People's hearts were unpredictable, and no one knew their position. Therefore, Yang Su must first strive for Shi Xiang to support the prince. As long as he guarded the danger of Renshou Palace, even if the army outside supported Yang Yong, there was no need to be afraid.
Shi Xiang's father Shi Ning is a healthy man. Prince Yang Guang has been guarding the south for ten years and has a good relationship with the Shi family. Shi Xiang is also a strong supporter of Prince Yang Guang. It is precisely for this reason that Yang Su dared to seek Shi Xiang's support at the most critical moment.
Shi Xiang made a quick decision and took out his command arrow and handed it to Yang Su, "With this command arrow, the guards of the East Palace can go up the mountain at will."
Yang Su was overjoyed and took the command arrow and handed it to Yuwen Chengdu behind him, "You can go quickly!"
Yuwen Chengdu agreed, turned his horse's head and galloped away. Yang Su said again: "I hope General Shi will fully support the prince."
Shi Xiang clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured that Taipu Yang, I will serve the prince!"
One thousand Eastern Palace Guards and five thousand Left Guards rushed to Renshou Palace on the mountain. Yuwen Chengdu took the lead. He was anxious, fearing that Yang Guang had been surprised. Although there were no guards around Yang Guang, since there were shouts of killing on the mountain, it means that someone was protecting the prince.

On the White Jade Tower, Yang Yuanqing looked at the soldiers who were getting closer and closer. Nearly a thousand soldiers had surrounded the White Jade Tower, but before they could attack, Yang Yuanqing sneered, and he saw an officer arguing with He Shaokang.
"Yuanqing, why is it so quiet outside?"
Yang Guang limped near the window with a support wall. Although he led a large army to fight many times, the group-style expedition was completely different from the court coup in front of him. He had no idea about this specific tactic. He was extremely worried. He had only nine people to guard him, but there were nearly a thousand people outside. Can he escape this disaster?
Yang Yuanqing has been a scout for five years. He is good at this small-scale offensive and defensive battle. He is very calm and calm, and quickly estimates their time in his heart.
"Your Highness, they seem to have internal differences."
Yang Guang also saw that He Shaokang was arguing with an officer. He Shaokang suddenly cut down the officer with a knife, and a long scream came.
"Your Highness, please sit down, they are going to attack!"
Yang Yuanqing carried the quiver pot behind his back. He pulled out two arrows and put them on the bowstring. After five years in the frontier, he had mastered the unique skills of two dragons coming out of water.
More than a thousand left guards outside the tower suddenly shouted, and the black army began to rush in. Two soldiers took the lead in climbing up the wall. Yang Yuanqing drew his bow and pulled the arrow, and two arrows broke out of the string and shot towards the two wall-crossingers in a flash. Two arrows shot the enemy at the same time. Two screams, and the two rolled down from the wall.
Two arrows could not stop the murderous enemy, and dozens of people climbed up to the wall. However, Yang Yuanqing's two arrows greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the other eight guards. They were all Yang Jian's personal bodyguards. They were all good at martial arts and skillful bows and horses. Everyone fired arrows at the same time, and the arrows were shot out completely. In an instant, someone was shot down again.
Yang Yuanqing shot out two arrows, and the arrows were like meteors. A soldier screamed and fell to the ground. In a moment, he had shot more than 30 people.
He Shaokang was already anxious at this time. He faintly heard the sound of the trumpets gathered at the foot of the mountain. The straight distance from the foot of the mountain to Renshou Palace was only 500 steps away. In just a quarter of an hour, the army would arrive. His family's fate was decided within this quarter of an hour. Either make the contribution to support and the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, or the He family was destroyed by nine tribes. He hated Yang Yuanqing to the core. If it weren't for this person's appearance, Yang Guang would have died under his knife.
At this time, the gate of the courtyard had been knocked open, and a large group of soldiers rushed into the courtyard, and arrows were like rain, shooting towards every window of the pagoda. A guard on the third floor was shot into the neck with an arrow, and fell from the white jade pagoda screaming. The dense rain of arrows suppressed the guards in the pagoda.
He Shaokang pulled out his battle knife and shouted loudly: "Breaking open the tower gate! The first person to rush into the pagoda will reward a thousand taels of gold!"
