    Soon Huang Mingyuan no longer cared about Princess Yicheng's affairs, because a major event broke out in the court. The emperor ordered the removal of Prime Minister Su Wei and the execution of Gao Jun, He Ruobi, Yu Wenbi and others.

    When Yang Guang went north, he issued an edict to recruit more than one million men to build the Great Wall, starting from Yulin in the west and ending at Zihe in the east (now the Hun River outside the Great Wall in southern Inner Mongolia and northwest Shanxi).  Shangshu Zuopu shot Su Wei to dissuade him, but Yang Guang refused to listen.  The road construction took twenty days to complete and resulted in numerous casualties.

    This is the direct reason why Gao Jiong and others are to be executed.

    Because of Gao Jiong's active surrender, Yang Guang treated Gao Jiong very favorably after he ascended the throne. Not only did he appoint him as the prince and grand master, alongside Yang Xiong, Yang Hong and others, he also restored his title as Duke of Qi.

    However, Gao Jiong seemed to still be immersed in Yang Jian's era and did not fully understand Yang Guang's character, so he repeatedly admonished Yang Guang for his actions.

    Yang Guang recruited the children of the Zhou, Qi, Liang, Chen and other dynasty music families from all over the country to be music households. From the sixth grade or below to the common people, there were those who were good at music. They all reported to Taichang Temple. Gao Jiong did not agree with this and thought it was  The government was in chaos and he advised Yang Guang to abolish it, but Yang Guang refused to listen.

    At this time, Gao Jiong seemed to have lost his political vigilance because of his old age and leaving the political center. Therefore, he later said to Taichang Cheng Li Yi: "Emperor Tianyuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty perished because of his pleasure. Yin Jian is not far away, how can he continue to do so?  What about repetition?¡±

    In the past two years, Gao Jiong was increasingly dissatisfied with Yang Guang's actions, so Gao Jiong actually said to Ande Wang Yang Xiong: "The imperial court has been too undisciplined recently."

    This time Yang Guang summoned Qimin Khan. Huang Mingyuan and Changsun Sheng were both dissatisfied with Yang Guang's generous rewards to the Hu people, but they did not say anything. However, Gao Jiong thought that Yang Guang's move was inappropriate and treated Qimin Khan too generously.  He then said to the Taifu Prime Minister He Chou: "This Huru is very aware of China's reality and the dangers of the mountains and rivers, and I am afraid that it will become a future trouble."

    Not only that, Gao Jiong also got close to Yang Liang's old minister of rites, Yu Wenbi.  It should be noted that trouble comes from the mouth. From the moment Gao Jiong couldn't keep his mouth shut, his fate was already doomed.

    Yu Wenbi didn't know if he knew that Yang Guang was eyeing him, but he privately said to Gao Jiong: "The extravagance of Emperor Zhou Tianyuan is not too excessive compared with today's situation, right?" Later he said, "Build the Great Wall."  project, fortunately it is not an urgent task.¡±

    "Such things have been reported to Yang Guang a long time ago.

    On July 25, Yang Guang ordered the arrest of Gao Jun and Yu Wenbi, which shocked the whole court.

    The two of them were a prince and grand master and a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Although they did not have much real power, they were both veterans of the previous dynasty. They had a high status, noble status, and far-reaching influence. Therefore, after they were arrested, the courtiers wrote letters asking for help.

    He Ruobi, the official of Guanglu, also wrote a letter to ask the emperor to investigate. Unexpectedly, someone complained to He Ruobi and privately commented that the scale of the banquet for Qimin Khan was too extravagant.  Yang Guang then arrested He Ruobi.

    He Ruobi's father, He Ruodun, complained that the Northern Zhou Dynasty King Yuwenhu would not tolerate it and forced him to commit suicide. Before his death, He Ruobi told He Ruobi, "I want to pacify Jiangnan, but it seems that I can no longer achieve it. You should succeed me."  The last will of He Ruobi. Also, I was killed because of chewing my tongue. You have to think about it." He used an awl to pierce He Ruobi's tongue to bleed, and warned him to be careful about what he said.

    After that, He Ruobi became more and more arrogant and conceited because of his achievements in defeating Chen. He repeatedly made nonsense at the court and was demoted and imprisoned several times.  This time, he finally fell on this mouth again.  It's a pity that Yang Guang is not Yang Jian and will not let He Ruobi off easily.

    He Ruobi was the only famous general in the army and had great prestige. His capture made everyone understand Yang Guang's determination to deal with Gao Jiong, so no one dared to speak out.

    On July 28, Yang Guang ordered the death of Gao Jun, Yu Wenbi, He Ruobi and others in order to slander the government.

    Although Huang Mingyuan knew that Yang Guang had ordered the death of Gao Jiong and others in history, because Huang Mingyuan reconciled them, the relationship between Yang Guang and Gao Jiong had improved a lot compared to history. Therefore, Huang Mingyuan was shocked when the death order was issued.

    Originally, Huang Mingyuan thought it was nothing serious, so he did not plead for Gao Jiong, but now he couldn't sit still.  Huang Mingyuan couldn't care less if Yang Guang wanted to kill others, but Gao Jiong was different. He was like half a teacher to him, and he was also the teacher of his younger brother Huang Mingxiang. Huang Mingyuan had to save him both emotionally and rationally.

    At this time, many people came to Huang Mingyuan's camp and asked Huang Mingyuan to make suggestions to the emperor and forgive Gao Jiong.  Among the people, there were people from the Qing Dynasty, some from high-ranking families, and some old ministers of Yang Guang. But everyone knew that if anyone could save Gao Jiong, it was only Huang Mingyuan.

    Huang Mingyuan did not agree, but persuaded everyone to leave one by one. Huang Mingyuan hadI plead for Yang Guang in my heart, but I don't want the emperor to think that he is taking advantage of others.

    After seeing everyone off, Huang Mingyuan hurried to Yang Guangda's tent, but was blocked by Chen Yuan on the way.

    Chen Yuan asked: "My lord, I went to the emperor's tent here to intercede for Gao Gong?"

    "good!"

    Chen Yuan stepped forward and knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, you must not go there. This is an unsolvable situation. The emperor's murderous intention is unstoppable. But once my lord steps into it, he will be in a dilemma. He will lose sight of one thing and lose the other, or even worse.  , even disgusted by the emperor."

    Chen Yuan was worried that Huang Mingyuan did not understand the meaning of going to plead for Gao Jiong, so he said: "The emperor wants to kill Gao Jiong, Yu Wenbi, He Ruobi and others, but he is just trying to clean up the remaining members of the original Prince Min. My lord, just watch.  It won't be long before Shi Wansui, Xue Daoheng and others will also be executed. There is no other choice but to eradicate the roots. Does my lord still think that he can stop the emperor?"

    Huang Mingyuan looked at Chen Yuan and said: "Zhong Chang, you have made it clear to me, but it is precisely because of this that I want to go to the emperor to give advice. Gao Gong is like a teacher and a friend to me, and he is the person Huang Mingyuan admires the most, even if  If I can¡¯t succeed, I will always try my best for Gao Gong¡¯s cause.¡±

    Chen Yuan pulled Huang Mingyuan's leg and said, "If this makes the emperor disgusted, won't my lord regret it?"

    Huang Mingyuan said: "If this is really the case, there is nothing I can do."

    After saying that, Huang Mingyuan left in a hurry.

    When Huang Mingyuan came to Yang Guang's camp, Yang Guang's confidant eunuch Zhang Cheng came forward and said: "Hey, Duke Wei, you didn't come to plead with the saint for the matter of Grand Master Gao, right? In the past two days,  He killed so many people and made the saint very angry. He didn't even eat yesterday, so please don't light a fire."

    Huang Mingyuan secretly gave Zhang Cheng a few golden beans and asked, "How many people have interceded for Grand Master Gao in the past two days?"

    "Yes, but they were all repelled by the emperor."

    Huang Mingyuan understood in his heart and went to the big tent.  At this time, I happened to meet Princess Nanyang who came out.

    Princess Nanyang instantly understood the purpose of Huang Mingyuan's visit, so she shook her head at Huang Mingyuan and signaled not to speak.  She had begged the Emperor for mercy, but to no avail.

    Huang Mingyuan did not respond, but opened the curtain and walked straight in.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
