By the time Li Wenyuan left Empress Xiao's phoenix drive, he had already gotten what he wanted. The color of joy couldn't help but spread on the whole face, but although Li Wenyuan was happy, he was bitter for the officials from all walks of life who greeted Empress Xiao on the side. They had been basking under the scorching sun for a long time, and when they saw Li Wenyuan coming out of the phoenix drive, they all seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and hurriedly beat their spirits to get through this last period of time.

After Li Wenyuan left Fengjia, the entire convoy moved slowly again. Li Wenyuan led a group of officials to follow Feng Jia, and followed the entire convoy into Wuwei County. At this time, on both sides of the main road in Wuwei County were officers and soldiers maintaining law and order, and they dutifully separated the distance between the crowd of onlookers and Fengjia. The northwest has been bitter and cold since ancient times, and few people from the royal family appear here on weekdays, and even if there are, most of them are sent to the frontier to serve in the army for serious crimes, where is this kind of pomp? What's more, after Li Wenyuan implemented the concept of democracy, the people around him were looking at the entire convoy with curious eyes, and there was not the slightest fear in their eyes, and none of them wanted to kneel and salute.

"Eh, look, is that the phoenix of the Great Sui Queen? Good guy, it's like a hill. This posture is almost as big as the most famous restaurant in our Wuwei County, and how many horses do you have to move. ”

"Look at your appearance that you have never seen the world, I heard my child say: Emperor Yang Guang once built a big dry boat when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and that dry boat is really called a big one. Do you know why it's called a dry boat? Because this ship has not been wet since the day it was built. Why? Specially carried Emperor Yang Guang on land. It is said that when the emperor wanted to go to Jiangnan to enjoy the flowers a few years ago, nearly a thousand women were greeted along the way. After recruiting these women, Emperor Yang Guang ordered these women to take off their clothes, pull the fiber for the dry boat naked, and walk towards Jiangnan on land. ”

"Don't talk nonsense anymore, if that dry boat is really as big as you say, then even if you call thousands of eight hundred men, it may not be able to move, let alone those delicate and soft women?"

"You don't know this, the counties along the way, in addition to offering these women, they also have to provide sesame oil and millet to Emperor Yang Guang. Put the sesame oil and millet on the ground, and pull the boat again, and he will pull it. Not to mention this, besides, have you heard of someone who created something called any car specifically for Emperor Yang Guang..."

At this time, behind these two people, there was a teacher who worked in the intermediate school of Wuwei County, and finally couldn't listen to it anymore, so he frowned and patted the shoulders of the two people and said: "Okay, two old brothers, the chief manager has emphasized it again and again, this matter is just a rumor spread by those bandits in the Central Plains. What he did was to discredit His Majesty the Emperor so that he could have a legitimate and reasonable explanation and reason for his rebellion. It is a lie concocted by those feudal exploiting classes in order to deceive our simple laborers, and whoever believes this is to say that he wants to refuge it again and again for those feudal landlord leaders. Be content, our general manager is very open to the speech of the rulers, and if it falls to me to make the law and administer, I will definitely arrest both of you and put you in prison. ”

The two people were so frightened that they shrank their necks when they were patted on the shoulders by the person behind them, and when they turned their heads, they found that this teacher still recognized him as the teacher of his own children at school. So they didn't dare to offend, but nodded yes with a smile. Then he stood where he was and honestly continued to watch the excitement, and didn't talk about anything else.

Empress Xiao, who was sitting in the phoenix car, also sighed secretly in her heart after hearing the conversation of the people next to the road. Although the new dynasty smeared the emperor of the previous dynasty from time to time in history, it was the first time that the smear was so serious. Even after the death of Qin Shi Huang, who broke the old and established the new, he only got the stigma of burning books and pit Confucianism. But her husband was detained as a promiscuous person, and those traitors even made up some fictitious arbitrary cars in order to discredit Yang Guang. But at the same time, Empress Xiao also knew that such things would happen from time to time in the Western Regions. After all, on the way here, she had already read the book of "The Law of the Western Regions" that her subordinates had helped her get several times, and she was also very curious about how far such a new political system could go?

Empress Xiao and her entourage just stayed in Wuwei County temporarily, she just left Fengjia to have a formal meal in the county town of Wuwei County, and then rested for the night. It was to set off again early the next morning, leaving Wuwei County for Dunhuang County. The incident that happened some time ago made Li Wenyuan dare not place Empress Xiao in Wuwei County like this, so he changed his mind and temporarily placed Empress Xiao and Yang Qi in Dunhuang County.

Under the starry night, the group finally came to Dunhuang County. Due to the current critical situation, all etiquette is simplified. Under the auspices and support of a group of officials, Yang Qi wore gorgeous robes and ascended to the throne in the new palace built in Dunhuang County, and it was the successor of the Sui Dynasty who ascended to the throne. Later, Yang Qi personally inscribed a new era name: Wude. As the last stroke of the German character fell, the entire crowd of onlookers erupted in cheers. Of course, it was some refugees who fled from the Central Plains who took the lead in cheering. Although these refugees did not have to worry about food and clothing under Li Wenyuan's rule at this time, they would always be empty without the spiritual support of the emperor, so this time with the arrival of Yang Qi, the last fragile spiritual pillar in the hearts of the people in the Western Regions was also filled.

As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and after the enthronement ceremony of Yang Qi's succession, it was followed by a reward ceremony for Li Wenyuan. Just as Empress Xiao and Li Wenyuan had arranged in advance, Li Wenyuan was canonized as the king of Tang as he wished. At this time, in terms of title alone, it was one level higher than Tang Guogong of Li Yuan, who was far away in Chang'an. But these are not important, the most important thing is that Li Wenyuan finally got his wish and exchanged a lot of benefits from Empress Xiao's hands for a new official position: the post of superintendent of the Great Sui.

After having the post of superintendent, the ministers who had been working hard with Li Wenyuan for a long time were finally able to be promoted as they wished, and they were all promoted from the ministers of an autonomous region to the ministers at the state level in the court, which greatly increased Li Wenyuan's prestige and provided a legal basis for Li Wenyuan to implement the plan that he had been planning for a long time.
