However, it is said that after Wang Shichong bought the grain, he immediately put it into Luoyang, so that the grain shortage in Luoyang was lifted overnight, and with the stabilization of grain and prices, the public order also improved rapidly, Wang Shichong in the spirit of taking the doctrine, put a series of mature policies for the benefit of the people in the Northern Sui into Luoyang, so that the people's hearts were stable, and in just over two months, Wang Shichong also won great popular support.

'Luoyang only knows the world and does not know the emperor, Shishu Liangkou shouts long live the road endlessly, there are visions in the sky, colorful auspicious signs, turtles offer totems, sometimes heard. This is a scholar's note, a true record of the omen of Luoyang's imminent accession to the throne.

Another Taoist priest named Huan Fahei, who claimed to be good at interpreting divination books, presented Wang Shichong with "Confucius's Closed Room", which showed a man holding a bamboo pole to drive sheep, explaining: "In the Sui Dynasty, the emperor's surname was Yang. Why, it is a 'king' word. The king is in the sheep, which indicates that Xiangguo will replace the Sui Dynasty as emperor. Then he took out the two articles of "Zhuangzi on Earth" and "De Chong Fu" and presented them to Wang Shichong, explaining: "The first part talks about the 'world', and the next part talks about 'full', this is the name of Xiangguo, which indicates that you should be kind all over the world and obey the destiny of the Son of Heaven." ”

Wang Shichong said very happily: "This is the will of God." After bowing twice, he took over the diagram and immediately appointed Huan Fahei as the counselor. Wang Shichong also caught all kinds of birds and birds, tied the silk with the so-called talismans written on their necks, and released them one by one. Those who come to offer such birds are also given official titles.

……

The list goes on and on.

Indeed, Wang Shichong couldn't wait, the reason why he did not ascend the throne immediately after the mutiny was to gain the support of the people and win the hearts of the people.

Wang Shichong was a little impatient.

Because the Zen platform has also been built, and tomorrow is the first day of the first month, he must ascend the throne on this day, heralding the beginning of a new dynasty.

Previously, the eldest grandson An Shi, Duan Da, Yang Wang, Guo Shiheng, Guo Shizhu and others had already formulated the etiquette of the Chan Dynasty, and everything was in place, just waiting for the emperor to abdicate.

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Emperor Yang Qi sat at the table reading as usual, he had been deprived of real power, and now he was just a puppet in the hands of Wang Shichong, and all the power was usurped by Wang Shichong.

At this time, a eunuch's voice came from outside the door, "The saint is studying, what are so many of you doing here?" ”

"We have a big event to the Holy One, get out of the way!"

The door immediately opened, and more than a dozen ministers walked all the way, led by Duan Da, Yun Dingxing, Cui Wenxiang, Wang Shiyun, and Wang Xingben, who knelt down in front of Yang Qi, Yang Qi frowned and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, what's the important matter?" ”

Yun Dingxing said in a deep voice: "There are all kinds of auspicious signs in the sky, this is the will of the gods, now King Zheng is highly virtuous, he should be the son of heaven, in response to the will of heaven, I hope that the saint will follow the practices of Tang Yao and Yu Shun, and Zen is located in King Zheng." ”

"What?" Yang Qi was furious in his heart, threw the book on the ground, and said angrily: "This world is the world of Gaozu, if my Sui Dynasty has not exhausted, this kind of thing should not be said, if the will of heaven wants to change the dynasty, then what else is there to talk about Zen and not Zen?" You can just support him directly for the throne, so why bother to ask me? You are all old ministers of the Great Sui who have been Mu Sui for a long time, either my ancestors and former ministers, or you are in a high-ranking position, if you are willing to be Wang Shichong's lackey, will you still have the face to appear in front of me? ”

Emperor Tai's expression was grim, so that everyone couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and at this time, someone shouted, "King Zheng has arrived!" ”

Wang Shichong rushed into the study of Emperor Tai surrounded by a large group of armor soldiers, Wang Shichong was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, with a sharp blade at his waist, murderous, he knew very well in his heart that Yang Qi would never abdicate easily, Yang Qi's angry rebuke just now, he had heard it clearly outside the door.

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Shichong shouted loudly, stepped forward and glared at Yang Tong fiercely, "The words of the ministers Jin Yu, why can't Your Majesty listen to them?" ”

The small study was crowded with armored warriors, all of whom were sturdy, like a group of vicious and ferocious wolves, and there were more than a dozen poisonous snakes in robes standing next to them, surrounding Yang Qi's thin body, which was no longer beautiful.

Yang Qi smiled coldly: "I am a descendant of the royal family of the Great Sui, King Zheng wants to take the Sui Dynasty, just kill me directly, why pretend to be a Zen concession, in vain to make the world laugh, Sima Zhao is self-righteous and left a thousand years of infamy, does King Zheng also want to leave a Wang Shichong's heart?" ”

Yang Qi's ridicule made Wang Shichong unable to get off the stage, Wang Shichong was so hateful that his eyes were about to bleed, and suddenly, he took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his face. The voice also softened, "Holy Lord, the world is undecided today, and it is necessary to appoint an elder as a monarch in order to rule the world, and when the world is stable, I will definitely restore your throne, I, Wang Shichong, swear here!" ”

Wang Shichong took out an arrow and folded it in two sections, and said coldly: "If I, Wang Shichong, violate my oath, it will be like this arrow!" ”

Yang Qi smiled: "Who are you fooling?" If you want to be the emperor, you can be good, why waste an arrow, leaving it to the soldiers to kill the thief. ”

If it was the year before he became the owner of Luoyang, Yang Qi would have been confused by him, but Yang Qi had already seen through his hypocrisy. Even if Wang Shiqi used the eighteenth generation of his ancestors to swear, he would not believe it, and the world has changed his surname to Zheng, can he change it back to Sui?

"You!"

Wang Shichong was furious: "Do you think I dare not kill you with one sword? ”

Yun Dingxing stepped forward and started a round and said, "Holy Lord, King Zheng will never break his previous oath!" ”

Yang Qi sneered, "Wait for me to prosper in the world!" Let my brother restore my temple position! You are based on the land of the four battles in Ning, but there are only eight counties such as Henan, Hongnong, and Xiangcheng, which will be destroyed by others sooner or later, and you who help and abuse will never end well. ”

"Actually, we're already prepared!"

Wang Shichong showed a 'Zen Edict', Yang Qi looked at it, couldn't help but be stunned, the handwriting on it was exactly the same as his, and sneered: "You can take my corpse forward." ”

Wang Shichong squinted and smiled: "Please come in." ”

After a while, a young man with a vague face similar to Yang Qi walked in, this young man was wearing a dragon robe, covering his face, if you don't look closely, it is exactly the same as Yang Qi.

Yang Qi was discouraged, and said with a wry smile: "Build the Zen platform a little higher, and let the hundred officials stand a little farther... You can mix the beads... Wang Shichong, you won! ”

Wang Shichong laughed, patted Yun Dingxing's shoulder, and said, "This is the credit of Captain Yun." ”

Yun Dingxing was very happy, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and Yun Ding shouted happily: "Spread the holy word, and officially let the emperor be located in King Zheng!" ”

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted outside of the earth-shaking drum music, "Zen let the ceremony begin, please invite the new emperor and the old emperor to take the stage." ”

At noon, Wang Shichong entered Ziwei Palace with a full set of emperor dragon chariots, ascended the throne as the emperor, and then granted amnesty to the world, the country name was Zheng, the year name was changed to enlightenment, and the Dafeng clan was the king.

A few days later, Wang Shichong ordered someone to drive a small boat and send the dust to Yecheng... Later, in the Yanshan Imperial Mausoleum, there was a young monk who forgot the dust...

Wang Shichong usurped the throne of the Southern Sui, but it did not cause much repercussions, on the one hand, the Northern Sui did not have an overreaction, on the other hand, the influence of the Luoyang court was too small, in the world has been divided now, the pattern is too weak, in the eyes of the discerning people, the battle in the world is only the Northern Sui, Li Tang, Li Mi, Xiao Mi, Du Fuwei, Luoyang is just a guest

But this incident caused a lot of turmoil in the Southern Sui, Pei Shiqing in Xingyang denounced Wang Shichong for killing the king and usurping the throne, his shameful behavior was like Yu Wenhua, officially broke with Wang Shichong, surrendered to Li Mi, Nanyang County Guard, Huaiyang County Guard also surrendered to Li Mi.

The departure of important ministers one after another caused a huge earthquake in Luoyang officialdom, and the people in the officialdom were panicked, and took the initiative to support Wang Shichong to claim the emperor's high position, while the silent were deposed.
