In the nineteenth year of the Great Cause, the first day of the seventh month.

Yang Guang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes had become yellow-brown, coupled with his terrifying face, the whole person no longer looked like a human being.

After receiving the news, all the clan members rushed to the scene, standing in front of the collapse and waiting for the final moment to come.

Everyone is well aware that this is a return to the light.

Yang Ming didn't have any worries in his heart, because Yang Guang couldn't speak for a long time, and everyone on the sect's side also knew the truth, even if Yang Guang glared at Yang Ming a few times, Yang Ming didn't care.

But in fact, there was no hatred in Yang Guang's eyes, after he glanced at Empress Xiao, Yang Lihua, Yang Xiu and others, his eyes fell on Yang Ming, and he never left.

His eyes were very complicated, and when he looked at Yang Ming, he seemed to be looking at a person who was both strange and familiar.

Suddenly, Yang Guang's arm trembled slightly, and his index finger raised to point at Yang Ming.

Seeing this, Empress Xiao hurriedly said, "Don't go over yet?" ”

Yang Ming hurriedly knelt and moved to the edge of the collapse, holding Yang Guang's withered palm with both hands, and he didn't know why, he cried like this.

This time, he revealed his true feelings, just like when Dugu Jialuo passed away.

At the age of six, he traveled to this world and grew up under the protection of Yang Jian and his wife, until Yang Guang entered Beijing to compete for the prince, and since then, since the father and son got along, Yang Guang has never treated him badly.

When Yang Zhao was alive, Yang Ming already held great power, Yang Zhao passed away, he became the king of Qin, became the prince, step by step to the present.

In ancient times, the death of a father represented the growth of the next generation.

In fact, the current Yang Guang has long been delirious, and the hatred and conflict between him and his son have gradually blurred, and he has almost forgotten the changes in Ziwei Palace.

At the last moment of life, people's impression of a certain person often stays in the deepest memory.

Looking at Yang Ming, who was crying bitterly, Yang Guang's mind began to blur, and gradually, he remembered that this was my son and my heir.

I saw Yang Guang turn his head with difficulty and look at his eldest sister Yang Lihua, Yang Lihua had already burst into tears, and hurriedly said:

"Bring the edict quickly."

Pei Ju, Yang Xuangan, Wei Zhen, and Lai Hu'er, who were waiting outside the hall, hurriedly entered the hall and took out the edict that had been prepared for succession.

Pei Shuang knelt beside him with the heirloom jade seal in his hand.

Yang Guang's eyes glanced at the edict, and then at the jade seal of the country, Yang Lihua hurriedly got up, took the jade seal from Pei Shuang's hand, and cried bitterly:

"The child is fine, you can go with peace of mind."

After that, Yang Lihua stamped the seal on the edict.

Two muddy tears slipped from the corners of Yang Guang's eyes, and a generation of tyrants passed away.

"Father!" Yang Ming cried bitterly, and his forehead slammed on the ground.

"Your Majesty."

The whole crape myrtle city is wailing all over the place.

The second emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty died, and the whole country mourned.

At the last moment of his life, Yang Guang passed on the throne to Yang Ming in the most orthodox way, and from this moment on, the Great Sui Dynasty ushered in a new heir.

Yang Ming posthumously admonished Yang Guang as the Ming Emperor, and the temple name was the ancestor.

Carrying the sun and moon on his shoulders and carrying the stars, he wore it on Yang Ming's body, but outside, he had to wear a mourning dress for three years.

Yang Ming because he is the emperor, so he doesn't have to mourn, but within three years, filial piety clothes can't be taken off, of course, there is a way, that is, the ministers will collectively play the fold, asking the new emperor to focus on the country and the society, stop bringing filial piety, because Dai Xiao said that he is still in grief, the new emperor will refuse in the name of filial piety, and the ministers will insist on playing the fold, and the new emperor will go down the steps.

Moreover, the descendants of the royal family are forbidden to marry, and any entertainment activities are prohibited, including the canonization of the queen, Yang Ming will not be able to be the master for three years.

It is Queen Xiao who is in charge, if she doesn't nod, Yang Yinjiang won't be able to come up.

Therefore, the Yang family is desperately trying to curry favor with Queen Xiao, and Pei Ju will definitely get in the way.

"Return to Beijing on time on the eighth day of the first lunar month, announce the yamen of all ministries in the imperial city, and make sure that you are thorough," Empress Xiao said at the court meeting.

Seven days after Yang Guang's spiritual suspension, the clan, the palace family, ministers, the army, and the monks will help Yang Guang's coffin return to Beijing for burial, and the funeral will also be held there.

Pei Ju said: "The queen can rest assured, everything will be ready, and the surrounding army is already being recruited." ”

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, 100,000 people will set off from Luoyang to return to Daxing.

Empress Xiao inquired about the progress of the mausoleum of the officials of Zongzheng Temple, and left the court early with a sad face, leaving Yang Ming and a group of ministers.

Yang Ming is still sitting on his throne as the crown prince, after all, the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, but the title of emperor is already there, and he is now the son of heaven.

"The queen's position should be canonized early," Yang Xuangan said anxiously: "The queen is not established, the prince is unknown, Your Majesty still needs to welcome the queen into the palace early." ”

Entering the palace is from the East Palace, entering the Ziwei Palace, and canonizing the queen, which is actually equivalent to a marriage.

Pei Yun suddenly frowned: "The son was born for three years, and then he was spared from the arms of his parents, the husband was mourned for three years, and the world was mourned, Your Majesty has not mourned yet, are you so anxious?" ”

The reason why there is a three-year mourning period is because children are basically raised by their parents before they are born to the age of three, and after the age of three, their bodies are gradually developed and they have full mobility.

Yang Xuan said angrily: "Now that the new monarch has been established, there is no queen, isn't it a joke?" The first emperor in the spirit of the sky, will also be happy to see this, in the ancient rites, the period of mourning is forbidden to marry, but now there is no mourning. ”

He is right, Yang Guang has not been buried yet, this is not called mourning, this is a wake, and the Zhou Rite did not say that you cannot marry during the wake.

Historically, in the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty have all had such a situation, the first emperor has just died, before the funeral for the first emperor, the new emperor first held a marriage to canonize the queen, and then mourned for the first emperor, which is to exploit the loopholes of ancient rites to avoid violating the etiquette system.

There was no precedent before the Tang Dynasty.

"You fart!" Pei Qiantong: "Is there such a loophole for you?" When the whole country is grieving, you are really not ashamed to perform the canonization ceremony? ”

For a while, Yang Pei's two factions suddenly quarreled.

Yang Ming didn't plan to be in such a hurry to make a queen, after all, it was a bit inappropriate, now was the sad moment, the canonization of the queen was a happy event, besides, Queen Xiao had to nod.

And Empress Xiao didn't mean anything at all right now, and Xuan felt that they were too anxious.

"Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, hehe! What do you want to do? Could it be that you can skip the crown princess and be promoted to be the queen? Yang Xuanting sneered: "If you really want to do this, step on Lao Tzu's corpse first." ”

Lai Hu'er suddenly frowned: "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, if you don't shut up, get out." ”

His seniority is very high, and Yang Ming also relies on him very much now, and intends to let Lai Hu'er be Yang Rui's future prince and master, besides, Yang Xuangan and Pei Ju did not end up arguing, and it is normal for others to be scolded by Lai Hu'er.

Yang Xuanzong was not convinced, stood up directly, pointed at Pei Yun and scolded.

Yang Ming shouted angrily: "Didn't you hear Rong Gong's words? Get out! ”

Xuan Zong was stunned for a moment, glared at Pei Yun fiercely, and left the hall with his sleeves flicked.

Now the hall was quiet.

"It's really incompatible, take your time," Yang Xiu glanced at Pei Ju and then at Yang Xuangan.

Pei Ju Gujing had no waves, and Yang Xuangan was expressionless.

This person, what he is most afraid of is thinking wildly, after the quarrel at the court meeting is spread to the East Palace.

Yang Yinjiang's heart was very uncomfortable, she was actually not in a hurry, after all, according to the etiquette system, how could the emperor be buried, and after half a year, the queen would take the lead and the ministers would invite, which was the best time to canonize the queen.

Father, they were indeed in a hurry, but the Pei family's wolf ambition was also exposed.

When Pei Shuying came to see her, she found an excuse to refuse, and the originally intimate relationship between the two is gradually changing.

"Sister, you can't be stupid in the future, don't tell Pei Shi everything on your mind," Yang Yuru whispered: "Our two families are now incompatible, you have a good heart, but you can't guarantee that others will harm your heart." ”

She is Yang Yinjiang's dowry daughter and Yang Xuangan's concubine's daughter.

Yang Yinjiang is now in the stage of cranky thinking, and what she is most afraid of is that someone will pick her up, and she also sighed faintly when she heard the words:

"I have a deep sisterhood with Ayun, and I really don't want to go that far, but when it comes to three children, I have to be cautious, you are right, I need to be more careful in the future."

In the past, Yang Yinjiang refused to see Pei Shuying, with Pei Shuying's temperament, it was possible to break through or get angry, but now it won't, she just sighed in her heart and returned to her bedroom.

She is very sensitive, and she knows that there is a crack in her relationship with Yang Yinjiang, and it is impossible for this crack to be repaired.

Looking at the lonely lamp in front of her, Pei Shuying was in a daze.

In the nineteenth year of the Great Cause, on the eighth day of the seventh month, Yang Ming led his ministers and set off to return to Beijing.

He didn't know when he would come to Luoyang next time, maybe soon, maybe for a long time.

Looking back at the tall city walls of the Eastern Capital, Yang Ming sighed in his heart, an era has come to an end, and from now on, he will be a child without a father.

Everything in the whole country will be carried on his shoulders, and his heart is very frightened, so to speak, terrified.

Because any small decision he makes can affect the livelihood of all peoples.

The height is unbearable, and the second half of his life will be destined to walk on thin ice, and the best time in his life, with the death of his father, will never look back.

The Great Sui Dynasty, the people of Wanzhao, will usher in their new monarch, and they will inevitably usher in a new atmosphere.

The mighty flow of people, along the official road from Luoyang to Jingshi, slowly moved forward, all dressed in plain clothes, and gradually drifted away in a bleak atmosphere.

Yang Ming's sons hung a long white rope on their shoulders, and the other end of the rope was tied to Yang Guang's favorite Guanfeng Xing Palace, and inside the hall was Yang Guang's coffin.

The grandchildren dragged their grandfather's coffin and strode along the path of their ancestors.
