On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 409 The seller seeks glory

Queen Doulu came from the Murong tribe of Xianbei. Her real surname was Murong. She was a common branch of the former Yan Dynasty. After her ancestors returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty, she was given the surname Doulu. She was once the general of Rouxuan Town.

At the end of the Northern Wei Dynasty, my ancestor followed He Bayue into the Pass, and then surrendered to Yuwentai. After the founding of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was granted the title of Duke of Chu.

The current Duke of Chu is Douluxian, the eldest brother of Queen Doulu, and Douluyu, who came to find Queen Doulu at this time, is the second son of the family.

Yang Liang was the favorite youngest son of Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo, and his wife, Queen Doulu, was naturally carefully selected by Yang Jian and his wife.

Queen Doulu, who was twenty-eight years old at the time, was not only beautiful in appearance, but also gentle and gentle in character, but her manners lacked the majesty of her mother.

As soon as Douluyu arrived at Queen Doulu's palace and took her seat, she kept sighing.

Queen Doulu said doubtfully:

"Now that the danger in Hedong has been resolved, it's time to celebrate. Why are you sighing so much?"

Douluyu saw Queen Doulu asking questions, and then she said with a sad face:

"Wang Kui provoked a relationship between the sage and King Yan, and encouraged the sage to retreat to Daizhou. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty kept admonishing him, but the sage seemed to want to move."

Queen Doulu frowned and said:

"You're so good, why do you want to go to Daizhou?"

Doulu Yu knew that his sister was gentle and virtuous, but she had no brains. He explained:

"The King of Yan intends to take over Jinyang and control the court."

Queen Doulu said in surprise:

"This is not to treat the saint as a puppet. Why do you still persuade the saint to stay in Jinyang?"

Fortunately, she was still rejoicing that Cui Che won the battle earlier, but that man was actually a traitor.

Douluyu looked anxious and said:

"My good girl! Don't think about it. The saint fell out with King Yan and fled to Daizhou. If King Yan raised his troops to attack, would he be able to defend Daizhou!

"At that time, Daizhou falls and you become a prisoner, you are not at your mercy.

"Perhaps King Yan casually gave you a reward to a rude warrior under his command.

"If the saint stays in Jinyang and maintains harmony with King Yan, you can continue to be the queen and enjoy your dignity!"

He was completely bullying Queen Doulu because she didn't know politics. At least for now, Cui Che couldn't blatantly fight with Yang Liang.

Queen Doulu didn't understand politics. She nodded subconsciously. She also felt that her husband couldn't defend Daizhou when facing Cui Che. But then she came to her senses and asked slightly panicked:

"But if King Yan attempts to usurp the throne in the future, wouldn't it be possible for both Saint and Hao'er to survive?"

The Hao'er mentioned by Queen Doulu is her and Yang Liang's son, Yang Hao, who is only seven years old.

And Yang Hao is also Yang Liang's only son.

Douluyu said with relief:

"Hasn't the queen heard about Shan Yanggong (Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie)? As long as she cooperates with King Yan in everything, even if the country changes color in the future, how can King Yan embarrass the queen and her family?

"But if you listen to Wang Qi's words and make enemies with King Yan, you will end your life."

Queen Doulu felt relieved and said:

"What the second brother said is reasonable, but what should I do?"

Dou Lu Yu then revealed his plan to Queen Dou Lu. It turned out that he wanted her to persuade Yang Liang to stay in Jinyang.

Queen Doulu and Yang Liang had a deep relationship with each other. That night, when the couple was sleeping together, Queen Doulu followed the words taught by her brother Doulu Yu and persuaded Yang Liang:

"Your Majesty wants to move the capital to Daizhou, but I have often heard that Daizhou is bitterly cold and is definitely not a place for heroes. Going here is tantamount to waiting for death.

"I would also like to ask Your Majesty to stay in Jinyang, follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and there will be no chance of success in the future."

Yang Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this. Indeed, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong killed powerful officials and then took control of the government and unified the north.

This also provides Yang Liang with a template. As a puppet, there is also the possibility of counterattack.

Yang Liang did not ask where Queen Doulu heard about moving to Daizhou. After all, it had already been spread in Jinyang Palace.

He held his wife's hand and sighed:

"Fortunately, the Queen's words woke me up. If I had listened to Wang Yi's words, I would have made a big mistake."

The next day, Yang Liang summoned the civil and military ministers and announced to everyone that he would stay in Jinyang. Everyone shouted long live, but Wang Yi looked gloomy.

That night, Dou Luyu went to Fang Yanzao to ask for credit. When he was leaving, Dou Luyu said respectfully:

"We will serve under King Yan in the future, so please take good care of me, Mr. Fang."

Fang Yanzao waved his hand and said with a smile:

"I'm afraid Mr. Doulu has asked the wrong person."

Douluyu said doubtfully:

"What does Mr. Fang mean by this?"

Fang Yanzao asked:

"Did Duke Doulu forget where most of King Yan's wives and concubines came from?"

After Fang Yanzao’s advice, Doulu Yu suddenly realized it and thanked him repeatedly.

Amid everyone's eager anticipation, Cui Che solemnly offered sacrifices to the fallen defenders at Gaobi Ridge, then headed north via Shuqiao Valley to Jinyang. The prefectures and counties along the way had already started spring plowing in an orderly manner. Fortunately, he and Yang

Su's persistence did not delay the farming season.

On February 18, the first year of Daye (AD 605), Cui Che led 40,000 cavalry to the outside of Jinyang City and still camped outside the city.

The next day, Cui Che's general Cheng Yaojin led his troops outside the south gate of Jinyang. He claimed that His Highness King Yan had lost his beloved horse and suspected that it had been stolen into Jinyang City. He insisted on entering the city to search.

No one in Jinyang City could have imagined that Cui Che would come up with such a reason when he could not fight Yang Liang.

Yang Liang actually wanted to keep Cui Che out of the city. After all, Cui Che couldn't attack Jinyang just to find a horse.

But what Yang Liang didn't expect was that Doulu Yu, his most trusted man, falsely conveyed Yang Liang's order and ordered the defenders to open the city gate and let the Yan army enter the city.

Douluyu was once the lord of the palace of the Han Dynasty. After Yang Liang became emperor, he was regarded as Shangshu Zuopushe, which can be regarded as a high and powerful position.

However, Zhu Tao, who was in charge of city defense, had to verify Yang Liang's seal, but how could Doulu Yu have any evidence?

Just when Dou Luyu was extremely anxious, Wang Ba stepped forward, attacked and killed Zhu Tao, and united with other generals who had defected to Cui Che to control the outer city of Jinyang.

Wang Ba opened the city gate and let Cheng Yaojin enter the city.

Immediately, the rest of the Yan army, led by Cui Che, entered Jinyang one after another.

Among the 40,000 infantry and cavalry, Cui Che divided out 30,000 to control various places in Jinyang, and only led the 10,000 cavalry in front of the tent to join the army in the direction of Jinyang Palace.

Arriving outside the palace, Cui Che was filled with emotions.

This place used to be the palace of the Prince of Jin. When he followed Yang Guang to guard Jinyang, he often went in and out of it.

After Yang Guang went to Yangzhou, it served as the palace of the Prince of Qin. After King Yang Jun of Qin was dismissed, it became the residence of the Prince of Han. Now it has been renamed Jinyang Palace.

But the palace in front of him is indeed much more majestic than when he was there.

Of course, this is due to the large-scale construction of palaces during the period when King Yang Jun of Qin was in Jinyang.

When he learned that Cui Che had entered the city and was heading towards the palace, Yang Liang could not bear to resent Doulu Yu for betraying him. He hurried to the tower at the main gate of Jinyang Palace with a group of civil and military personnel to watch.

There will be more in the evening
