At this moment, shouts of killing came from afar, and they were getting closer and closer. Yang Guang couldn't sit still any longer, and he immediately said to the prince: "Princess, you quickly take Empress Xiao, Gao'er and the two imperial grandsons out of the back door of the palace." ”

The prince nodded, then turned to leave.

At this time, the shouting and killing outside had already reached the outside of the imperial study, Yang Guang was very nervous, he picked up the gold box containing the jade seal talisman, and then walked out, Pei Ju and several guards followed behind him. As soon as the group walked into the courtyard, they only heard a loud "boom", the gate of the courtyard was knocked open, and there was a scream all around.

At this moment, a guard with blood and knife wounds on his body stumbled in and screamed: "Your Majesty, the rebels have entered the palace, the queen was captured by the rebels, and King Zhao and King Yan were killed by Uchiji. ”

Yang Guangda screamed, and suddenly fainted, Zhao Wang Yang Gao is his only living son now, Yan Wang Yang Qi is his favorite imperial grandson, and the queen is his beloved wife, but he didn't expect that all of them are dead or captured now.

Pei Ju was also a little flustered at this time, and he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, so he ordered the guards to carry Yang Guang on his back, and then ran outside the palace.

At this time, Sima Dejiao and Dou Yi had already led the army to arrest the important people in the city and in the palace. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, with tens of thousands of soldiers lighting torches and illuminating the Jiangdu Palace as if it were day.

Yuhuaji has already received one good news after another: Empress Xiao has been captured, Yang Qi has been killed, Yang Gao has also been killed, all the defenders in the city have surrendered to him, and dozens of members of the royal family have been captured. The ministers of the DPRK and China were all taken down......

But what made him anxious was that Yang Guang was nowhere to be seen. And if the emperor runs away, then his self-reliance on behalf of Sui will be a bit unjustifiable.

"Kill all the royal family first! Not a single one to stay! Everyone digs the ground, and you have to find out the emperor for me! Yuhua said angrily.

Although Pei Ju had the intention to rescue Yang Guang, he was still a step too late, and he took Yang Guang to just run out of the back door of the palace, when he was discovered by soldiers patrolling outside the palace, and thousands of people surrounded them under the leadership of Uchiji.

At this time, Yang Guang had already woken up. The grief of losing his son and grandchildren left him depressed.

He silently looked at the soldiers around him with weapons in hand, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Kill this faint king! We're going home! The soldiers shouted, getting closer and closer.

Pei Ju knelt down in front of him and wept silently: "The old minister failed to save His Majesty from danger, and he really deserved to die." ”

Yang Guang shook his head, he held a glimmer of hope, and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him: "I am the Emperor of the Great Sui, do you dare to commit a crime and rebel?" ”

The soldiers around were silent, after all, they had been under Yang Guangjiwei for a long time, and they had a natural fear of the emperor.

As soon as Yang Guang saw that there was a play, Fang shouted loudly: "If you lay down your arms, I will forgive you for your innocence, and now if you have any requirements, you can ask me to ......."

At this moment, Yu Huaji, who had just received a report from the soldiers below, rushed over with a large group of cavalry. After he heard Yang Guang's words, he was afraid that the situation would change, so he shouted: "Holy Lord, do you still have the face to continue to be the emperor?" You have abandoned the temple and ignored it, toured outside all the year round, recklessly used military force externally, and built on a large scale internally, and never stopped for more than ten years, resulting in great chaos in the world, the people are not happy, thieves are everywhere, and the fields are barren, don't you know that your majesty is guilty of great evil? ”

Yang Guang was silent for a moment, and Fang said, "Don't you just want to go back to Guanlong?" Now I agree to take you back! Re-establishing the capital of the Great Sui in Chang'an is! ”

Yu Huahe laughed and said: "No need to act anymore, today Your Majesty must die to thank the world, and the ministers will set up another emperor to revitalize the country." ”

Yang Guang couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Yu Huaji's face, and then smiled miserably, and said to the soldiers around him who were holding bows and arrows: "I'm standing here, you guys can release the arrows!" ”

Yu Huahe raised his right hand at this time, and waved down hard: "Release the arrow!" ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! Dozens of sharp arrows flew away, and the male lord of the Great Sui generation died. The streets outside the palace fell silent.

……

At this time, Yuming, who had just occupied Youzhou, was reorganizing his troops. Now after the Youzhou Army is merged into the Liaodong Army, not only the soldiers must be broken up and reorganized, but the generals must also be reappointed, so as to eliminate the estrangement between the two armies and twist them into a rope.

Although many generals of the Youzhou Army objected, thinking that in this way, the generals would not know the soldiers, and the soldiers would not know the generals, but Fang Xuanling and other officials believed that the long pain was better than the short pain. If the Youzhou generals are allowed to continue to command the Youzhou army, there is a danger of rebellion. After all, the people of the Luo family are no better than the old brothers of the Liaodong Army, in case they see that the situation is not right, they become the grass on the wall, and it is possible to rebel and surrender to other candidates.

Yuming has moved the military academy in Liaodong to Beiping, and the entire ruling institution in Liaodong is also moving one after another. After all, Liaodong City is far away, and it is very inconvenient to enter the Central Plains in the future.

At the same time, he also announced the implementation of Liaodong's policy of encouraging farming and business in Youzhou, and greatly reduced agricultural and commercial taxes.

And this decision made the officials of Youzhou very opposed, believing that it would greatly reduce tax revenue.

Yuming had to spend a lot of time explaining the necessity of "releasing water to raise fish", and compared the amount of tax money collected before the implementation of the tax reform in Liaodong and the amount of tax money collected after the tax reform. to justify a reduction in tax rates.

He said with a straight face: "This king understands the worries of your lords, but judging from the practice of Liaodong, there is no big problem. Taxes may fall in the short term, but after a year of implementation, the volume of transactions tends to rise due to the arrival of immigrants attracted by the low tax rate, which in some ways will greatly offset the downside of the tax rate reduction. And after two years, it will exceed the previous tax. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "If there is a big chaos today, and the heroes rise together, the surname and the family clan will also consider which side to throw themselves into. If we adopt a policy of low tax rates and kindness to family names, it will attract them to come and join us and further strengthen our power. ”

The officials in Youzhou were finally convinced, and they all agreed to implement the policies of Liaodong in Beiping and Zhuojun in Youzhou.

And just as the meeting was about to end, Red Sleeves walked in with a solemn face, and whispered to Yuming: "Husband, Jiang has an urgent report!" ”

Yu Ming's heart sank, secretly wondering if Jiang Du is not where Yang Guang is now? Could it be that the emperor had an accident?

He glanced at the officials in the hall, got up and said, "Today's meeting will be held here for the time being, and everyone will implement the new regulations simultaneously according to the methods discussed at the meeting." We must be fair and just, if anyone is corrupt and bribed when implementing the new policy, and the surname of fish and meat, don't blame my Yuming's subordinates for being ruthless! ”

The crowd was submissive, and they didn't even dare to claim it. They also saw that Red Sleeves wanted to report important things to Yuming, so they retired one by one.

After everyone left, the red-sleeved party whispered to Yu Ming: "Husband, the saint has been killed!" The one who started was my father-in-law! ”

"What? Or did my dad kill Yang Guang? A trace of surprise flashed in Yu Ming's eyes, he didn't expect that history had not changed, and Yang Guang still died in Yu Huahe's hands.

"Yes, father-in-law, he united Sima Dekan and Dou Yi, and the Guanlong soldiers in Jiangdu City all surrendered to him. Now he has announced his ascension to the throne as emperor, and the country name is Xu ......" Red Sleeves handed a report to Yuming at this time, which contained a detailed account of the Jiangdu incident.

After Yuming took the report, he looked at it carefully, but the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled. After reading it, he sighed and said: "Dad is in a hurry, he shouldn't be the emperor so early, it will become the target of everyone...... Moreover, Jiang Du surrendered his army in order to return to Guanlong. But how can Guan Long come back so well? He had to pass through the territory of Li Mi and Wang Shichong, and finally had a bloody battle with Li Yuan. With my father's strength, he couldn't do it at all. Eventually, these generals will continue to flee. What's more, now that the matter of his killing of the monarch is announced, those candidates who are under the banner of the successor of the Sui Dynasty will also regard him as their enemy! ”

Red Sleeves also thought deeply and said: "The husband's expectation is not bad, and now Wang Shichong, Li Yuan, and Yang Xiu have all issued statements, regarding the father-in-law as a rebel against the king, and calling on the world to fight together." ”

"They are far away, and they can only shout slogans, but Li Tong, Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing and others are not necessarily. After all, everyone wants to eat the fat meat of Jiangdu City, and they are close to each other......" Yu Ming sighed.

At this moment, Guo Yi walked in, bowed to Yu Ming and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhou, Princess Luo Qi asks to see you." ”

"Oh? Let her in! Yu Ming said with some humility. After all, her father killed her father. He also felt a little guilty of Yang Luoqi in his heart.

At this time, a beautiful and noble girl walked into the hall, it was Yang Luoqi. After she came in, Zhengse said: "Husband, I have heard some news recently, the surname in Beiping City seems to be dissatisfied with the new policy, do you want to let Sister Red Sleeves check it out?" ”

A month before attacking Youzhou, Yuming and Yang Luoqi received Yang Guang's holy decree, urging them to get married immediately. Yu Ming knew that this was Yang Guang's desire to use this method to tie himself to his chariot. After all, Yuhua and he openly raised an army against Sui, but he married Princess Da Sui, so he would drive a wedge between himself and his father Yuhua and create discord.

Therefore, although Yuming and Yang Luoqi were a little reluctant in their hearts, they did not dare to disobey the holy decree, so they could only get married hastily. Therefore, although this wedding was grand, it was far inferior to the wedding with the eldest grandson, and it was much worse than the wedding of Red Sleeves and Li Xiuning.

But Yang Guang didn't expect that Yuhua would break through Yangzhou so quickly and cut off his head. can be regarded as losing his daughter and losing his life.
