With Yang Xiu's suicide by taking poison, the sudden civil strife in the nineteenth year of the emperor's reign also ended.

In Jutan City, the eldest grandson Hong brothers held Yang Xiu's corpse and surrendered, and the 80,000 Guanzhong troops also abandoned their weapons, and the situation was amazing. Three months earlier, Yang Xiu had usurped the throne and occupied Guanzhong. And Yang Guang sneaked back to Yangzhou from Hedong, raised troops to call the emperor self-reliance, and then Yang Yong called the emperor in Taiyuan, and the emperor's grandson Yang Lin led 200,000 troops to Linmayi, at that time, countless people were lamenting that the prosperous era of the emperor was over, and the troubled times had begun. Perhaps the land of China, which had just unified the Central Plains not long ago, was about to fall into the rebellion of the Three Kingdoms or the dispute between the north and the south. At that time, no one could have imagined that this sudden rebellion would end in just three months. At that time, not many people would have thought that Yang Lin would be the last to end this rebellion.

On the first day of August, Yi Feng's soldiers entered Chang'an.

Yang Suzai, He Ruobi, and Shi Wanzai personally greeted him.

Yi Feng rode a white majestic five-foot horse, wearing gold armor, carrying a jade sword at his waist, a python dragon weaving gold cloak, and even the white horse under the straddle was also wearing a vest embroidered with a white tiger. In front of him, Qin Qiong on the left and on the right, and the two generals of the Northern Ya personally opened the way. Yi Feng's side were the brave non-commissioned officers who had made outstanding achievements in the Northern Counterinsurgency War, a total of 360 brave non-commissioned officers, who won the honor of defending the crown prince and entering Daxing City. Behind Yi Feng, there were Yang Jun, Guo Yan, Duan Da, Zhang Heng, Yu Wenshu, Feng An, Feng Xuan, Changsun Hong, Changsun Gong, Dou Kang, Yuan Heng, Liang Gang and other surrendered generals.

The people of Guanzhong were empty, and they came out of the city to welcome the crown prince into the city. Although Emperor Yang Yong was also in the team, everyone seemed to have forgotten Yang Yong selectively.

Outside the city of Daxing. Yi Feng held a grand military parade, allowing the people of Guanzhong to witness this elite army that put down the rebellion of Yang Xiu and Yang Guang in March. Shiny mirror armor. Fierce cavalry, chariots, longbows. The unified red robes, the neat and orderly queue, the steady and powerful footsteps, and the flying banners all made the people of Guanzhong sigh, no wonder the prince was able to quell the rebellion in March, it turned out that he had such an extremely large army, and even a large number of Turkic cavalry, and he actually served the prince.

After the review ceremony. Yi Feng took the Beiya forbidden army into Daxing City, although Yang Su, Shi Wansui, and He Ruobi arrived in Beijing early, but they did not garrison the city, but they were stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and only sent a few soldiers and horses into the city to maintain order.

After entering the city, Yi Feng went straight to Daxing Palace. Yang Xiu's wife and children in the palace have been kicked out of the palace and placed in Shaofu Temple.

Li Liyi and Xiao Sumei rushed to greet her.

Both of them are very good, although Yang Xiu killed the monarch and usurped the throne, he didn't do anything to her. Maybe it's because Li Liyi is the daughter of Yang Xiu's sister, or maybe it's because she wants to keep them as a bargaining chip to deal with Yi Feng.

"Let's go see the Queen Mother first." Yi Feng was also very happy to see that the two of them were fine. However, he still proposed to see the Queen Mother. "Is the Queen Mother okay?"

"Since the death of Emperor Gaozu, the Queen Mother has been ill. Hearing that His Royal Highness had put down the rebellion, the Queen Mother was very happy. Originally, I was going to go out of the palace to meet you in person. As a result, I felt a little unwell in the morning. Li Liyi said.

The Queen Mother is happy to have a ghost, Yi Feng said in his heart, this civil strife can be said to be a tragedy for the royal family. The husband of the couple for decades was killed by his son, which is difficult to accept. What's more, next, several sons fought each other again, and now the emperor's grandson Yang Lin quelled the rebellion, but the price was that the eldest son Yang Yong was seized power by his grandson, and the second son was killed by his subordinates, and the fourth son was defeated and committed suicide by poisoning. lost her husband, and two of her five sons died, and under the successive blows, Queen Dugu, who was already old, was even more ill. Even if Yang Lin quelled the rebellion, Queen Dugu would never be happy.

In the Lizheng Palace, Yi Feng and Li Liyi visited the Dugu clan together.

Dugu was lying on the couch, the whole person was thin, his eyes were blank, and he couldn't see a trace of the original motherly world, the kind of appearance full of wisdom. It is hard to imagine that the woman in front of her, who has almost run out of oil and lamps, will be the legendary woman who is called the second saint along with Emperor Wen. In the era of Emperor Wen, she was the real half of the sky who could be Emperor Wen, and sometimes even influenced the emperor more than the words of the prime minister. In the establishment of the Great Sui, she made great contributions. She used to be extremely proud, the emperor, as the supreme of the Ninety-Five, only loved her as a woman and married her alone. She used to be even more proud, the emperor only had five sons with her, and she would certainly be able to avoid the tragedy of flesh and blood in the future. But the world is impermanent, the emperor is old, but he also favors Wei Chi's behind her back, forcing her to finally give up the oath of the two of them, and even personally choose a beautiful concubine for him. However, what is even more heartbreaking is that her own five sons finally caused such a tragic human tragedy.

"It's Sumeru, you're back." Dugu was helped by the palace people to sit up, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Yi Feng, and there was a little flickering in his eyes. She reached out and touched Yi Feng's face.

"Imperial grandmother, grandson is late."

"Why didn't your father come?" Empress Dowager Dugu asked.

"Your Majesty is impatient with the fatigue of traveling and driving, and I am temporarily unwell, so I dare not come to see the Queen Mother immediately to avoid infection." Yi Feng replied.

"Water." The Queen Mother said, Yi Feng sat in the hands of the palace maid and took the water, and personally helped the Dugu family to feed her water. After drinking the water, Dugu's whole person was a little more energetic, she stared at Yang Lin, sighed, and then said: "I don't want to say more about the past, you have made a contribution to quelling the rebellion and stabilizing the society of the Great Sui." When His Majesty appointed you as the grandson, it was precisely to see your extraordinary. Alas, I know that he is not a wise man, and I know that you are at odds with him. I've even heard that rumor. ”

Yi Feng didn't know how to answer.

"Actually, you don't have to be nervous, what does it matter now. But I only have three sons left, and I want you to keep them. ”

"My grandson will."

"I won't go around the bush with you, the old woman will say it straight today, pick a good day, and let the insight of the earth and Zen be in you. You can also keep him safe and prosperous in the next life. Seeing that Di Fa has no ability, you will be fine if you leave him. And King Qin. He's your uncle, but this time it happened. No matter what, you can't stay in the capital anymore, you can choose a feudal country for him, and seal the feudal kingdom to make him. In addition, Ake, he has done a lot of things that are sorry for you, but now that he is in South Vietnam, then you can let him go. Can you promise the old woman? ”

Yi Feng looked at her with some surprise, he didn't expect her to say such a thing at this time. But it feels normal to think about it, Yang Jian, Yang Guang, and Yang Xiu are all dead. Yang Liang is in South Vietnam, leaving Yang Yong and Yang Jun, no matter what, Yang Lin is now in power. And Yang Lin is Yang Guang's son, if she doesn't say a word, Yang Yong's son will have to die violently. Anyway, Yang Lin is also her grandson, whether it is Yang Guang's son or Yang Yong's son, it is the best choice for him to inherit this dynasty. There is no choice either.

"Those brothers of yours are also divided into the southwest, and they don't need to be feuded to the southwest, just a place to settle down." Dugu said again.

Yi Feng nodded in agreement. The sons of Yang Guang, Yang Xiu, and Yang Yong are also his brothers, all surnamed Yang. There's no way he's going to kill them all. What's more, Yi Feng didn't feel that there was a need for a feudal edict. They all got the southwest to establish a vassal state, and there was no possibility of making a comeback or causing any trouble for the imperial court. Leave them behind. can also have a benevolent name and collect more hearts from the world.

"The grandchildren are all according to the emperor's grandmother."

"Well, that's all the old woman has to say, and nothing else. I hope you can inherit the throne sooner so that the old woman can also see that day. In that case, when I go to see Emperor Gaozu, I can tell him the good news. Let him know that the Great Sui has not declined because of this, but will become stronger in your hands. Go back, go back with Wu Chou'er, you must have a lot to say, so don't continue to bother my old woman here. ”

Yi Feng insisted on sitting for a while again, and only after the Empress Dowager Dugu was in good spirits and fell asleep did she get up and leave the Lizheng Palace.

Out of the Lizheng Palace, Yi Feng went to the Ganlu Palace. This is the emperor's bedroom, but Yang Yong did not arrange it here, and Yi Feng was not polite, and stayed directly in the Ganlu Palace. At this time, Yi Feng had the opportunity to have a good chat with Li Liyi. Li Liyi has been pregnant for more than seven months, and Xiao Sumei has been pregnant for even longer, both of them have a big belly.

"I've worked hard for you during this time, and I also sent someone to pick you up, but it's a pity that Yang Xiu directly placed you in the palace, and there was no chance at all."

"In addition to often worrying about His Highness, the concubines are very good."

Xiao Sumei also said on the side, "During this time, the concubine and her sister have been worried about Your Highness, and finally God blesses you, nothing happens, Your Highness has put down the rebellion in March, which is great." ”

"Yes, when I first sent my troops south, I never thought that I would quell this turmoil so quickly." Yi Feng sat between the two, bowed his head and leaned over Li Liyi's stomach to listen, and Xiao Sumei's stomach to listen, the two were more than seven months pregnant, and they could already clearly feel the fetal movement, and even occasionally felt the fetus stretching out their legs in the stomach to kick him.

"Your Highness, now that the rebellion has been put down, isn't it time to take the sisters of Huaihuang into Beijing?"

Yi Feng thought for a while and said, "I plan to return to Luoyang after a while." ”

"Back to Luoyang? Hasn't the rebellion been quelled, and now that His Royal Highness is in Beijing, why do you want to go to Luoyang? ”

"Luoyang is the center of the world, the Great Sui unified the north and the south, and will expand the territory in the future, but the territory will be broader, Chang'an will have many inconveniences as a Beijing division, it is difficult to coordinate the overall situation, and there will be many restrictions. Moving the capital to Luoyang now will have many benefits for long-term development. Yi Feng explained a few words simply, Dingdu Luoyang was not just an expedient measure when he was outside the Guan, but carefully considered.

When I woke up early the next morning, Yi Feng was refreshed, and he hadn't slept so well for a long time.

Liu Wenjing and Li Mi entered the palace to serve them.

"Your Highness seems to have something on your mind?" Liu Wenjing saw that Yi Feng seemed to be a little absent-minded, and hurriedly asked.

Yi Feng looked at him, then looked into the distance, and said, "Yesterday I went to visit the Queen Mother in the Lizheng Palace, do you know what the Queen Mother said to me?" ”

"The minister guesses, could it be that the Queen Mother wants to give the emperor the throne to His Royal Highness?" Liu Wenjing said.

Yi Feng smiled, "You really guessed everything." ”

Liu Wenjing was overjoyed: "If this is the case, this is a great thing, why is Your Highness not happy?" ”

"I'm not happy, you know me, I'm not the kind of person who behaves. I'm thinking about other things, and now that the rebellion has been put down, it doesn't mean we can rest easy. It is not easy to govern such a large empire. ”

"Empire?" Li Mi asked.

"A powerful dynasty that has a vast territory, dominates many peoples, and has great influence. The Great Sui not only wanted to restore the old land of the Han people in China, but also to rule the Hu Di Rongyi in the four directions, dominate the vassals of the four sides, pass on our Chinese civilization to the world, become the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and let the Quartet come to the court. This is called, the Great Sui Empire. Yi Feng explained.

"The Heavenly Empire, the Quartet is coming to the court, it's too good." Liu Wenjing praised.

"But we still have a long way to go to get there."

"Then step by step, with His Highness leading us, there will definitely be a day when the Quartet will come to the court."

Yi Feng smiled, "Then you can help me choose a day first." ”

"Is it an auspicious day for Zen?" Liu Wenjing asked excitedly.

"Hmm. It's better to settle this matter sooner rather than later. ”

"Your Highness, or" Liu Wenjing squeaked and couldn't speak, but Yi Feng immediately guessed what he wanted to say and shook his head, "There's no need for that." ”

"I understand."

Yi Feng nodded, there are some things that should be done, but if there are no threatening things, then there is no need to do them. Yang Yong would never become a threat to him, but Gao Gong and Yang Su, Shi Wansui, He Ruobi and other important ministers of the emperor made Yi Feng feel a little threatened.

"Master, I also have an important task for you." Yi Feng called Li Mi over, "Now that the rebellion has been decided, the generals Gao Gong, Yang Su, He Ruobi, and Shi Wansui still have a heavy army, although they have handed over the talisman to the Privy Council, but now these soldiers and horses are still stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, we have to make a resettlement plan as soon as possible." You first take someone to count the situation of each army and make a detailed report. At that time, whether to disband and return to his hometown on the spot, or to rearrange it into the Sanya sequence, and then discuss. ”

"Yes." Li Mi nodded and took the task.

Liu Wenjing asked Yi Feng, "How does His Highness plan to arrange Yang Su, Shi Wansui, Changsun Hong, Yu Wenshu and other people?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet!" Yi Feng shook his head and said, these people are not simple, if they are not properly placed, I am afraid that there will be chaos again. (To be continued......) R1292
