Chapter 351: The Emperor's Will
Looking at Yang Guang, who was in a frenzy, although the temperature around him was rising, Wang Yu suddenly felt very cold, and a sadness welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Sure enough, Yang Guang did not waste his rebirth years, and spent so much manpower, material resources and time to set up this bureau.
First of all, he announced to the world, held a feast on the Si Festival, and used public opinion to let those ambitious leaders come to Luoyang.
Knowing that the chiefs were wary of him, he pretended to back down step by step, and first obeyed their advice, and instead of receiving them at the palace, he set the place of the first meeting at Chengfumen. He also promised them not to close the gates of the city as a sign of sincerity.
Then let the leaders themselves decide the location of the competition, and everyone asked to hold it outside the city, but everyone had different opinions, so they could only choose to hold it in the city, but there were only a few venues in the city that could hold this special feast.
Although Chengfumen is the largest, it is too close to the palace city, and the leaders will not choose, and Tongyuan City and Datong City are too small and not safe enough, so there is only one Fengdu City with a relatively central location and a spacious location.
However, Fengdu is a trap that Yang Guang has long arranged, from the casual conversation with Empress Xiao that day, Wang Yu found out that Yang Guang has rarely set foot in the harem since the end of last year, and he has not even set foot in the harem after the year.
He always said that he was busy with government affairs, but he was busy with this matter.
Lured the leaders to Luoyang step by step, chose the location he had already arranged, and then wiped them out.
It's really a good idea, a good calculation.
At this moment, Wang Yu admired Yang Guang a little more, if he was reborn earlier, I'm afraid there would be no uprising, right?
But what now?
Life is precious, she has to live.
Wang Yu looked into the distance, many houses were burned and collapsed, the fire gradually approached them, except for a few people on the periphery who ran into the field, everyone else was already lying in a pool of blood, and the corpses were also doused with fire oil by those forbidden army guards.
If there is no water inside to fight the fire, then they can only draw water from the outside to fight the fire and open an opening, so that they can have a glimmer of life.
"Hey, yes, I'll blow you up." Liu Heimin was furious, and ran out of the crowd angrily, holding a flying fish bullet in his hand.
"Wait."
Wang Yu hurriedly stopped Liu Heimin: "Has the prince of Handong forgotten what happened just now?" β
She pointed to the small stream of fire in the field, which had now spread outward, and was about to connect with the fire on the periphery.
"If you use a fish bomb to blow up the ground and the oil comes out, the fire will be even more intense.
"When the time comes, we will only die faster."
"That's right, Wang Yu is right." Dou Jiande shouted: "Hei Min, put things away." β
Liu Heimin gritted his teeth and put things away, but he couldn't use a powerful weapon, and he had to wait for death obediently, which was really embarrassing.
Dou Jiande said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to me, now that we are in danger, we must unite and find a way to get out of here together, I suggest a temporary truce first." β
Xiao Mo was in a very irritable mood, and rushed out: "Do you have any way to get out of here?" β
"......" Dou Jiande was speechless.
He couldn't help it.
Li Yuan said: "No matter what, at this time, we should calm down and brainstorm, maybe we can think of a way to get out." β
Everyone was silent, looking at the fire, and began to think.
Seeing that the rebel army below didn't think of a way to leave, Wang Shichong was so anxious that he couldn't help but start to resent Yang Guang, if he wanted to kill the rebels, he shouldn't drag them into the water?
The more I thought about it, the more I hated it, and when I spoke, I couldn't help but bring emotions out: "Your Majesty, you have such a grand plan, why don't you tell us?" β
"Why do I want to tell you? How can you run away? Yang Guang's eyebrows and the corners of his eyes were cold.
β......β
Wang Shichong smiled awkwardly: "Of course not, you told us earlier, and we can also help you do this more thoroughly." β
"You mean I'm not doing a good job right now?"
Wang Shichong: "......"
Of course it's not thoughtful, how unjustly they, the Sui courtiers, died.
Yang Guang once again showed a mocking expression, and he looked at Wang Shichong as if he were looking at an ant.
Wang Shichong looked at Yang Guang and became angry all of a sudden, since he was going to die, why did he still flatter this invincible murderer?
"Do you want King Yue to succeed to the throne? Hehe, without our group of important ministers above the court, King Yue can't hold the Sui Dynasty at a young age. β
Yang Guang's face did not change, and his tone was light: "This is not bothering the general, I have already arranged for someone to assist King Yue, as long as you people with ill intentions die, the world will be peaceful." β
"You ......"
Wang Shichong's tone softened suddenly, "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the minister has always been loyal to His Majesty and the court, why do you have bad intentions?" β
"Heh, whether there is a different heart, you know it yourself." Yang Guang sneered, and then turned to Yuwen Zhiji and the others: "And you, you are plotting to usurp the throne behind my back, do you really think that I don't know?" β
Everyone's faces turned pale, and suddenly there was an embarrassment that they had done bad things and were exposed on the spot.
"What about us?"
The patriarch of the Li clan said coldly: "You invited our seven great families to preside over this competition, we thought that you were sincerely repentant and sought a peaceful and prosperous world for the common people in the world, but we didn't expect you to burn Luoyang City and kill the people for your own selfish interests."
"It's really sinister."
The patriarch of the Cui clan said angrily: "This is a grudge between you and those rebels, why do you drag us innocent families into the water?" β
"Innocent?"
Hearing these two words, Yang Guang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his tone became mean: "The word innocent, you are not worthy, the most damned people in this world are you families." β
"Yang Guang, don't forget, your throne was also obtained by the support of the family." The patriarch of the Li clan reminded in a cold voice.
Hearing this, Yang Guang's face became hideous: "That's right, it was indeed because of the support of the family that I entered the East Palace in the first place, but it was precisely because of this that I realized that the family is a poisonous weed that must be eradicated."
"You families always think that you are detached and can control everything, and the change of throne is like child's play in your eyes. If you support the crown prince today, the prince will be the emperor, and if you support the prince tomorrow, you will be able to depose the prince and the prince will inherit the throne.
"I tell you that the change of throne is up to me, and your family will not want to interfere again.
"I will uphold the will of the emperor and eradicate the family."
"Heh~"
The seven patriarchs of the family sneered in unison.
"Eradicate the family? Hehe......"
The patriarch of the Li clan dusted off the dust that did not exist on his sleeves, stood upright, with a detached demeanor, and then said lightly: "Do you think that by burying the seven patriarchs in the fire today, we can eradicate the family?"
"You're naΓ―ve."
Although the tone is light, the meaning of contempt and contempt is very strong.
If it was in the past, Yang Guang would definitely be like thunder, but today he is particularly calm: "This is just the first step......
