Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

"Besides, my father and mother love each other very much. It is wrong for my brother to favor his concubine and abandon his wife. If such behavior were known to the people of the world, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our royal family's reputation?"

"Father! I think you can give my brother a light punishment but a heavy warning!"

After saying this in one breath, Yang Guang also knelt down. His righteous appearance made it hard to predict that he would do anything cruel after ascending the throne.

Xiao Ran admired in his heart that Yang Guang must have some acting skills to be able to disguise himself to this extent.

"Father, the Crown Princess's death has nothing to do with me. I have few children, and I love Yun Zhaoxun because of the child. I beg your understanding!" After hearing what Xiao Ran said, Yang Yong finally understood the reason for his demotion, and he hurriedly explained.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Yong with disdain, thinking that it would be difficult for such a prince to achieve great things.

Yang Guang was vicious and Yang Yong was incapable of achieving great things.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh, "The dead Yang Jun is not so good either."

"Who is Yang Jun?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Yang Jian took the initiative to answer, "It was my third son, who died in June."

Is the Sui Dynasty really doomed to perish? !

He couldn't help looking a little depressed. Without a successor to be trained, how could the Sui Dynasty stand for thousands of years?

"If the prince isn't okay, then let's use the grandson. Why should Emperor Wen of Sui be so depressed?" Zhu Yuanzhang doubted Emperor Wen of Sui's ability to educate the prince, even though he didn't have his own son. He still spoke up and made a suggestion to Yang Jian.

Thinking of his grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang looked proud, "My eldest grandson is an excellent successor."

Yang Jian's eyes lit up, and his heart was moved for a moment, then he calmed down, "But I don't have much time. The oldest grandson is only four or five years old. Even if I educate him for a few years, he can't take on the responsibility."

"You were murdered after you became seriously ill. If the matter is resolved, this will most likely not happen again. And I can cure you as long as I pay you." Xiao Ran said.

"Is that really the case?! Can we talk about it in detail?" Yang Jian wanted more than anything else to be able to train a new successor and live a few more years.

Yang Guang and Yang Yong didn't care about being afraid at this moment and spoke at the same time.

"Father!"

Then he remembered that there were still two princes to deal with. Yang Jian's face turned cold, "Come here, take Yang Guang away and beat him with a stick until he dies."

Yang Guang was completely panicked, "Father! What did this son of yours do wrong? Let this son of yours die knowing full well!"

I never expected that today would be the day of my death.

"You are vicious and extravagant, and you even plotted to murder your brother. You deserve to be killed." Yang Jian listed Yang Guang's crimes word by word, without any father-son affection in his eyes.

"Pull it down quickly!"

The guards immediately rushed forward and dragged Yang Guang, who was frantically defending himself, out.

"Your Majesty! What crime has His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin committed?"

A loud voice sounded, and Yang Jian's expression changed slightly.

The person who came was Yang Su.

Upon hearing that the deposed crown prince had entered the palace, Yang Su hurried over. However, before the eunuch could report, he saw that Yang Guang was about to be executed.

"Yang Su, are you going to disobey my order?"

Yang Su bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, I dare not."

Yang Su's ancestors had been officials for generations. During the period when Yuwen Hu, the prime minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, controlled the government, he appointed Yang Su as the Zhongwai Jishi, and later transferred him to the Licao and became the Grand Commander.

In the seventh year of Tianhe, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Yong, executed Yuwen, and Yang Su was implicated. At this time, Yang Su was not posthumously honored by the court because his father died in Northern Qi for his loyalty to his father. Yang Su repeatedly submitted petitions. Yuwen Yong ordered Yang Su to be killed, but seeing that Yang Su spoke boldly, he pardoned him and posthumously awarded Yang Fu the title of general. He also appointed Yang Su as the general of chariots and cavalry, and gradually treated him with great courtesy.

In the following years, the Northern Zhou emperors trusted Yang Su more and more. He assisted many emperors and made great military achievements.

It was not until the second year of the Daxiang reign that Yang Su learned that Yang Jian intended to become emperor, so he took the initiative to join Yang Jian's camp and was also highly regarded.

Yang Su still had countless military achievements under Yang Jian, and also participated in the formulation of laws and did many important things for Yang Jian.

Therefore, he was deeply trusted by Yang Jian.

Xiao Ran recalled Yang Su's life and was curious whether Yang Jian would choose to kill Yang Su at this time.

"I'll give you another chance. Do you really object to killing Prince Jin?" Yang Jian asked in a deep voice, suppressing his anger.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn. Yang Guang looked at Yang Su hopefully. His life depended entirely on Yang Su.

Yang Su realized that something was wrong, thought for a moment, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, may I know why His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin was executed?"

"The Prince of Jin will kill me in the future." Yang Jian's eyes were gloomy, and the murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.

Hearing this, Yang Su was shocked.

“And you’re in on it.”

The last sentence made Yang Su break out in a cold sweat. He had followed Yang Jian for many years and knew very well that his life was in danger at this moment.

Yang Su immediately bowed, "Your Majesty! I have never thought of betraying you!"

"You are already in Yang Guang's camp." Xiao Ran said.

Yang Jian said sternly, "As a minister in the court, colluding with the prince is a crime of treason. Do you want to rebel?"

"Your Majesty..." Yang Su wanted to explain, but heard Xiao Ran's voice again.

Xiao Ran spoke slowly, "Why not listen to what Yang Su did after the crown prince was deposed?"

"Mr. Xiao, please speak." Yang Jian did not want to kill this close minister who had followed him for many years and had quelled several rebellions for the Sui Dynasty, even if he no longer trusted him.

"After Yang Su followed you, he participated in the wars of Sui's destruction of Chen, Sui's pacification of Jiangnan, and the great defeat of the Turks. His numerous military exploits are not empty words. He alone can intimidate the Turks, and he is also a close minister to you. It is inevitable that the prince wants to seize the throne and win over Yang Su."

"In order to build up his own power, Yang Guang made friends with Yang Su, and at the same time sent his confidants to win over Yang Su's brother Yang Yue, so that Yang Yue could persuade Yang Su to help him seize the position of crown prince. A few days later, Yang Su entered the palace to attend a banquet and spoke well of Yang Guang to Empress Dugu. He found out that Empress Dugu approved of Yang Guang very much, so he tried his best to discredit Crown Prince Yang Yong. Empress Dugu therefore gave Yang Su money and asked him to persuade you to depose the crown prince."

"Later, Yang Su went to observe Yang Yong. When he arrived at the East Palace, Yang Yong changed his clothes and waited. Yang Su deliberately did not enter the palace for a long time. Yang Yong hated Yang Su and naturally could not suppress his anger. When Yang Su returned to Renshou Palace, he told you to be on guard against Yang Yong. Under the constant slander of Yang Su and Empress Dugu, he abolished the position of crown prince. Yang Su was rewarded with 3,000 pieces of property for his meritorious service in interrogating Yang Yong."

Xiao Ran first briefly explained what happened before, and then mentioned another thing.

"Before this, Yang Su was jealous of Shi Wansui's contribution in defeating the Turks. Under his persuasion, Shi Wansui was not rewarded for his contribution. After Yang Yong was deposed, you ordered to investigate the prince's followers and asked where Shi Wansui was. At that time, Shi Wansui was in the court, but you believed what Yang Su said and Shi Wansui went to the East Palace. You were angered during the debate between the monarch and his subjects, and impulsively ordered Shi Wansui to be beaten to death."

This made Zhu Yuanzhang go to see Yang Jian, who thought that Emperor Wen of Sui was a bit outrageous.

"I was deceived. It's my fault." After making an awkward excuse, Yang Jian suddenly felt that it was a good thing that Yang Su was dead.
