Next Chapter

Yang Tong, a middle school history teacher in Zhengzhou, was on a summer trip to the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties.

On the afternoon of this day, Yang Tong took a car to visit the Luoyang Imperial Palace, looking at the depression in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of the years and the cruelty of history. Walking and walking, he came to the Hanliang Hall of the Luoyang Palace, Yang Tong knew that there was a last emperor in the Sui Dynasty who was also called Yang Tong, because he had the same name and surname as this emperor and also specially learned about his life and deeds. This Yang Tong is the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui. When Emperor Yang of Sui visited the capital of Xingjiang, Yang Tong, the king of Yue at that time, and ministers such as Yuan Wendu, Duan Da, and Huangfu Wuyi were in charge of the affairs left behind. In the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, Yu Wenhua and Emperor Yang of Sui and his son King Zhao of Qi, as well as the emperor's eldest grandson, were killed together, and the world was in turmoil since then. Yuan Wendu and others supported Yang Tong as the lord of Huangtai, changed Yuan Huangtai, Yang Tong was forced to Zen to Wang Shichong in the second year of Huangtai, and was imprisoned by Wang Shichong in the Hanliang Palace, and soon Wang Shichong sent his nephew Wang Xingben to kill and Hanliang Palace, ending his puppet career. Yang Tong recalled that the emperor with the same name as him was not very embarrassed, and lamented his ill-fated fate. I can't help but think that if I were the emperor and the lord of Tai, how would Yang Tong face the situation where there are traitors in charge inside and wolves outside?

At this moment, a strange scene appeared in the sky - the sun and the moon were shining together, and suddenly Yang Dong was enveloped in a thousand rays of light, Yang Dong only felt that his eyes were bright, and he was burning like a fire, and he lost consciousness.

"Your Majesty'' Yang Tong woke up faintly under the soft call of the people, and when he opened his eyes, he was surprised by the scene he saw, only to see the carved beams and paintings in the room, and it was full of glory as far as the eye could see: the bead curtain was shining under the light of the glass lamp, and the flying dragon on the beam was full of majesty. But what impressed people the most was that there was not much anger in the room, giving people a feeling of concentrated depression. A call came out of my ears and I stopped looking. What, he calls me Your Majesty? So who am I now? At this time, Yang Tong really realized that he had been reborn into an ancient person.

"Hmph" Someone soon shouted excitedly: "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor, come quickly, Your Majesty is awake." Yang Tong asked the people around him who were looking at him with concern: "Where is this?" What era is it? Who am I? "Your Majesty, don't scare the old slave, Imperial Doctor, come and see what's wrong with Your Majesty." Yang Tong saw the imperial doctor come close to check on him, turned around and said to the old man: "Father-in-law Liang, Your Majesty may have forgotten some things because of excessive sadness, just recuperate for a while." ”

It took Yang Tong two days to finally sort out his thoughts, and it turned out that the dazzling light brought me to the end of the Sui Dynasty and reborn me into Yang Tong, the emperor of the emperor. Yang Tong showed a wry smile at this time, it seemed that he really couldn't help but think about it. It turned out that it was because of the bad news from Jiangdu that Emperor Yang of Sui was killed, and Yang Tong, the emperor of Tai, was so grief-stricken that he fainted, so he occupied his body. Should I follow the trend of history and return to the Li Tang Dynasty? No, if you return to Li Tang, you will definitely become the second Emperor Gong of Sui, and you will not escape the fate of being killed. It seems that the descendants of the emperors of the previous dynasty will not end well. Yang Tong, don't worry, since I have taken your body, I will not let you die again, even for you and myself. From now on, I am Yang Tong, the lord of Huangtai, and I am here in the Great Sui, and I will definitely restore the glory of the past ten thousand dynasties; Li Shimin, Wang Shichong, and I, Yang Tong, are here, I want to see how powerful you are.

"Your Majesty, the wind is blowing, let's enter the hall." A word interrupted Yang Dong's thoughts, and he came back to his senses and looked at the old man next to him, this person dressed in eunuch service was Liang Gonggong, who had taken care of Yang Dong, the lord of Huangtai, since he was a child, and he was the inner servant of the Inner Servant Province, and he had been taking care of Yang Dong for more than ten years. Yang Tong looked at the sudden wind and rain outside the corridor, lightning and thunder, and his ambition rose from the ground, and he turned around and returned to the hall.

Yang Tong sat on the throne and fell into deep thought: It is now May of the first year of Huangtai, and time is running out, how to get rid of Wang Shichong's shackles? Yes, first grasp the military power. Who should I trust? Luoyang Qigui middle section Da Duan Da for Nayan, Chen Guogong, Wang Shichong for Nayan, Zheng Guogong, Yuan Wendu for the internal history of the Ling, Lu Guogong, Huangfu Wuyi for the military department Shangshu, Qi Guogong, Lu Chu for the internal history of the Ling, Guo Wenyi for the internal epic Lang, Zhao Changwen for the Huangmen Shilang, in charge of the government. Among them, the latter five people in history had plotted to kill Wang Shichong, unfortunately betrayed by Duan Da, the five were persecuted, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu, Zhao Changwen, Guo Wenyi were killed and wiped out by the three clans, only Huangfu Wuyi rushed to break through. Among these seven people, Wang Shichong has to find a way to get rid of it, Duan Da is timid and afraid that two sides and three knives are not available, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu, Guo Wenyi, and Chang Changwen are all Wenchen, so the emperor is left with nothing. After Huangfu Wuyi was loyal, his father was born and the governor of the state Sima, the king of Han rebelled in the state, and the birth of the festival did not obey, and the father and son killed by the king of Han were loyal to the country for two generations, and Huangfu Wuyi was the general of the right military guard, and he was very cautious. The emperor is capable and loyal, and is most suitable to go and control the military power.

Yang Tong sat on the dragon chair and continued to deliberate on the current trend: in the first month, Wang Shichong attacked Li Mi but suffered many casualties, and my Luoyang strength was greatly damaged, and Li Mi supported 300,000 troops to force the eastern capital Luoyang; In March, Emperor Yang of Sui was killed by Yu Wenhua and killed in Jiangdu, and Yang Hao, the king of Qin, was appointed as the emperor, leading the people to return to Guanzhong; In the same month, Wu Xingtai guarded Shen Fa and raised troops, in the name of crusading against Yu Wenhua and, to Wucheng, 60,000 fine soldiers, so he conquered Yuhang, Biling, Danyang, according to more than ten counties in the south of the Yangtze River, claiming to be the governor of Jiangnan Province, undertaking the system of hundreds of officials; In April, Xiao Mo became the emperor, placed hundreds of officials, and the old system of the quasi-Liang room, conquered Nanjun, and moved the capital to Jiangling. Lingnan returned to Xiao Milling, so the east from Jiujiang, west to the Three Gorges, north to Hanshui, south to Jiaozhi are all owned by Xiao Mill, with more than 400,000 soldiers; In May, Emperor Gong of Sui was located in Tang, and Li Yuan was enthroned as emperor in Chang'an, Jianyuan Wude; In May of the same month, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was the emperor and changed to Yuan Huangtai; In June, Yu Wenhua and the general led an army of 100,000 to the north, and Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Wang Shichong fought for the Central Plains, Yu Wenhua and led the troops to attack Liyang under Li Mi's rule, Li Midong rejected Yu Wenhua and, and was afraid that the eastern capital would attack its back road, so he expressed his wish to surrender to the eastern capital; In September, Tang posthumously named Emperor Taishang of Sui as Emperor Yang; In September, Yu Wenhua and Hui killed the puppet emperor Yang Hao, the king of Qin, proclaimed himself emperor, built the capital of Wei County, Hebei, the country name Xu, Jianyuan Tianshou, placed hundreds of civil and military officials, and divided one side; In the same month, Wang Shichong took advantage of Li Mi's exhaustion, selected more than 20,000 soldiers, raided Li Mi, set fire to the house, and the Wagang army was defeated, and Li Mi fled back to Luokou with more than 10,000 people. Wang Shichong took advantage of the victory to capture Yanshi, captured Pei Renji, Zheng Ting, Zu Junyan and other dozens of people, Bing Yuanzhen, Shan Xiongxin and other generals also surrendered to Wang Shichong, and after Li Mi was defeated, seeing that the general trend had gone, he led more than 20,000 people to the west into Guanzhong and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Yang Tong knew the general trend of the future, knew that Li Tang would grow, the decline of Li Mi and Yu culture, and the emperor Yang Tong was finally no longer needed because of Wang Shichong's growth, and was tragically hanged. Therefore, Yang Tong plans to make good use of the advantages of the reborn to plan well, how to save himself, how to compete for the world, and how to save the crumbling Great Sui River.

In view of the current general trend of the world, Yang Tong's idea is to first rectify the forces in Luoyang, the eastern capital, build a high wall and accumulate grain to develop silently for a period of time, and also recruit those civil and military generals who are still loyal to the Great Sui to expand their strength. Instead, Yang Tong counted the henchmen around him, and there were only the old man Liang, as well as the maid Green Butterfly given by the queen mother Xiao Liu Lianglu back then, and the nephew of Liang Gonggong, Zuo Tun Wei Zhonglang Liang Kun, Lu Shiji, who was also a clerk and attendant, and the little eunuch Xiao Guizi around him. Yang Tong was in the forbidden palace, surrounded by the eyeliner of Wang Shichong, who had already plotted against him, and only relied on Lu Shiji and Liang Kun to enter and leave the palace freely to deliver news. "Your Majesty, Lu Shiji is waiting outside the palace gate."

"Xuan." "Weichen Lu Shiji see Your Majesty." Yang Tong looked at His Highness standing with a man who was nearly twenty-five years old and said, "Aiqing, sit." "Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Tong looked at Lu Shiji carefully, and saw that his eyes were as calm as the vast sea, and his eyes flashed with the light of wisdom, giving people the feeling of being both calm and keen. "Your Majesty, I think this Wang Shichong is duplicitous, he must have two hearts, I'm afraid he wants to usurp the throne! Your Majesty, please kill him. "Aiqing, I don't know that Wang Shichong has evil intentions, but he has already led the wolf into the house, and I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." Yang Tong said bitterly, "Wang Shichong is becoming more and more arrogant with military power in his hands, and he is also more and more open, and he doesn't take me seriously, and his brother Wang Shiyun has repeatedly told Wang Shichong to abolish me and let Wang Shichong establish himself as the king, which shows that the wolf ambition of the Wang brothers has long been revealed." However, when he proclaimed me emperor, he handed over most of the military power to Wang Shichong, and at present I have no strength to compete with Wang Shichong unless I rely on external forces. ”

"Your Majesty, are you referring to Li Mi by external forces?" "That's right, it's Li Mi. We can recruit Li Mi, and then use the powerful Li Mi to contend with Wang Shichong. "Your Majesty, Yuan Wen is the general of the left Xiaowei and the general of the right Yiwei, and the emperor Wuyi is the secretary of the military department, and they all have a considerable part of the military power. There are also internal history orders Lu Chu, Huangmen squire Zhao Changwen, and internal history squire Guo Wenyi all hold the administrative power of the imperial court, and we can unite with Lu Guogong Wendu Qiguo Emperor Fu Wuyi and other ministers to jointly kill Wang Shichong and his minions. "This is not a feasible plan, first use Li Mi to disrupt Wang Shichong's position, and then concentrate our internal forces to seize the empty moment to take down Wang Shichong in one fell swoop. But I was watched by Wang Shichong everywhere when I left the palace, and I couldn't leave the palace, you go to inform the ministers, be careful, don't be noticed by Wang Shichong, by the way, remember to inform Fei Yao and Tian Yan, the two generals, and ask them to sneak into the palace secretly tonight to discuss the plan to eliminate traitors. "Command!" Lu Shiji withdrew from the temple gate. Yang Tong called Liang's husband again: "Liang Weng, ask Liang Kun to come to my palace secretly at night." "The old slave knows." After explaining the matter, Yang Tong secretly thought to himself: success or failure is in this move, it is better to let go and gamble if you can't escape death!
