Yu Wenhua and the news of the mutiny in Jiangdu and the death of Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui, have already spread all over Jizhou. After Yang Tong returned to Zhuo County, he immediately ordered all counties to mourn for ten days, and the soldiers and civilians were wrapped in plains to mourn the death of the Great Sui Emperor. Although Yang Guang is unpopular, he is the Emperor of the Great Sui after all, and the news of his death still makes countless people feel sad.

On February 20, the 14th year of the Great Cause, the fleet carrying Empress Xiao, Concubine Xiao (Yang Gao's biological mother) and others finally arrived at the mouth of the Lushui Sea (Haihe estuary, Tianjin)!

The dock is already crowded with people!

Yang Tong, Yang Yu, Concubine Wei, Concubine Liu, Princess Lujiang, Wei Fengwu, Shui Tianji, Eldest Sun Wuji, Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao and other clan children and their families are all waiting in plains, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan and others and the Taishou, Tongshou, and Juncheng of various counties in Jizhou are all here...... Even Li Jing, Pei Renji, Yang Shanhui, Wei Yunqi, Deng Wei, Yang Yuanhong, and Gao Yaxian from the border counties all handed over important military and political affairs to their deputies......

Finally, the largest dragon boat has landed on the shore!

At this time, Empress Xiao walked down from the boat with a one-foot square jade box in her arms!

Yang Tong and other people who knew her were shocked!

Queen Xiao, who is dressed in a plain robe, is still gorgeous, but her hair is full of snow!

"Meet the Queen Mother!"

"Meet the Imperial Grandmother!"

"Meet the Queen!"

“……”

At this moment, Jizhou, led by Yang Tong, knelt on the ground together.

When Empress Xiao saw her daughter, daughter-in-law, grandson, granddaughter-in-law, as well as Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, Li Jing, Pei Renji, Yang Shanhui, Wei Yunqi, Deng Wei, Yang Yuanhong and other former ministers, the tears that she had endured for several months could not help but flow down anymore, and she choked up and said, "Everyone is even." ”

Concubine Liu and Princess Lujiang stepped forward to help Empress Xiao.

"Although the father and the emperor have gone to the immortals, please take care of the phoenix body of the queen mother, Zhuo County is our home, this is still the Great Sui, please let the queen mother live here with peace of mind, there is Dong Er, no one can hurt the queen mother."

Talking and talking!

Concubine Liu burst into tears.

Empress Xiao nodded tearfully, she stroked a large jade box in her arms, and said to Yang Tong on the side: "Dong'er, your imperial grandfather, Uncle Zhao Wang, and Yang Shangshu guarded the society and set themselves on fire in Jiangdu Palace!" Before his martyrdom, he cut off the middle finger of his right hand and wrote the last holy decree. Here, it is your imperial grandfather's finger, which was picked up by General Shen Guang...... Now, I'll leave it to you! ”

Yang Tong took the jade box with both hands, his eyes turned red, his lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.

"Gao'er, Gao'er, only a few hair ......"

Concubine Xiao handed a small jade box to Yang Yu, howled miserably, and fainted.

Everyone who heard it wept.

Princess Lujiang could no longer suppress the grief in her heart, and tears burst out of her eyes, "Queen Mother! She shouted, threw herself into Empress Xiao's arms, and cried bitterly.

……

This suffocating reunion took more than half an hour!

Back to Zhuo County, the red sandalwood coffin that had been prepared long ago was loaded with the relics of Yang Guang and Yang Gao. At the same time, a coffin was also set up for Yang Yichen, which contained the armor he left in Jizhou! In "Speaking of Tang", Yang Yichen is the younger brother of Yang Lin, the king of the backer, but in fact he is the prototype of Yang Lin, he is loyal to the Great Sui and has never been married in his life!

With Yang Yichen, it is naturally inevitable that Wei Xuan, who will be killed for the sake of the Great Sui.

After the placement was completed, the coffins of Yang Guang, Yang Gao, Yang Yichen and Wei Xuan were moved to the Xuanwu Hall of Linshuo Palace.

Hundreds of officials are clothed in linen, and the three armies wear filial piety.

In the temple.

The clan headed by Empress Xiao all wore linen and filial piety for the emperor.

After three days, Empress Xiao read out Yang Guang's edict in front of Yang Guangling, and asked Shen Guang to tell Yang Guang the whole process, and then gave this edict to Concubine Wei, Concubine Liu, Princess Lujiang, Yang Tong, Yang Yu, Yang Gongren, Li Jing, Wei Yunqi, Pei Renji and other Yang Guang's old ministers to verify the authenticity one by one!

Everyone was Yang Dong's courtiers, of course, there was no reason to oppose Yang Tong as the third generation of emperors, and now there was Yang Guang's own edict, and they were all happy.

"Dong'er, if you are not fair today, to be loyal is to fulfill your filial piety, and wait for your grandfather to be buried...... Ascend to the throne on a certain day. ”

Since Yang Guang's death, Queen Xiao has been like ashes, and now she just wants to leave everything behind to keep filial piety for Yang Guang! The others don't want to pay attention to it, and if Yang Tong ascends the throne as soon as possible, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages in both public and private affairs.

Yang Tong stood up slowly, first saluted Yang Guang's coffin, and then saluted Empress Xiao, and then turned around and met the happy eyes of the ministers: "I'll talk about the enthronement later!" There's no rush at all! ”

"This ......"

Everyone was surprised, this person who was right, and Queen Xiao was in charge, why didn't he take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne?

Empress Xiao looked at Yang Tong in surprise, thinking that he was pretending, so she said: "Dong'er, the court can't be without a king for a day, and the world can't be without an owner for a day!" ”

Yang Tong shook his head and said: "Imperial grandmother, the eldest brother has become the emperor under the support of Wang Shichong and others, Yu Wenhua and Yang Hao have also been established as the emperor, and Yang Huai, who came out of nowhere, has also been supported by Li Yuan as the emperor, there are already three emperors in the world, and the grandson will not join in this fun." ”

Empress Xiao said softly: "Dong'er, whether it's Qi'er, or Yang Hao, or that Yang Huai...... It's all a puppet emperor. ”

And so it all meant.

"Everyone in the world knows that Yang Hao and Yang Huai are innumerable, but the eldest brother is a direct son of the Yang family... If I ascend the throne as emperor at this time, the eldest brother and those under his command will surely say that I am a fake for the sake of so-called orthodoxy; And for the sake of fame, I must also say that he is a fake. It's not that our brothers are fighting, it's that the times force us to attack each other. When the time comes, our Yang family will directly produce two emperors, and the dispute over orthodoxy will be known to the world, what do people in the world think of our Yang family? This must be a laughing stock, jokes, jokes, jokes, jokes after tea and dinner......"

Yang Tong looked at Empress Xiao sincerely and said, "Imperial grandmother! With the martyrdom of the emperor's grandfather, the last bit of majesty of the Great Sui Imperial Court has been torn to pieces by Yu Wenhuahe, and now there is no orthodoxy, and some are only respected by the strong. The place that Sun Er is in charge of now is also so big, and he won't have an extra inch of territory when he becomes an emperor... In addition to making our Yang family a joke in the world, there is no benefit, even so, then what should I do as an emperor? ”
