Chang'an, Daxing Palace.

Daxing Palace is the old palace of the Sui Dynasty, which was built in just nine months by the order of Yang Jian, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

At that time, Chang'an was also called Daxing City, which was taken from the meaning of Daxing in the Sui Dynasty, so Daxing Palace was also named after Daxing City, which was the first imperial palace of the Great Sui Dynasty.

However, the terrain of Daxing Palace was low, and the summer was unbearably humid, forcing the emperor to go out of the palace in the summer.

This is also one of the main factors for Yang Guang to move the capital to Luoyang later.

Yang Guang thought that he would never return to this broken place in his life.

Unexpectedly, it has only been more than ten years since the capital was moved, and now I have to return here.

Yang Guang walked in the Daxing Palace, browsing everything familiar here, but there was no look of remembrance and joy on his face, but it was gloomy and terrifying.

It is called a revisit to the old place when it arises in leisure.

But this time, he was forced to flee here.

It's a shame!

Prime Minister Dugufeng also took a few officials and quietly followed behind Yang Guang, his expression was extremely complicated.

The palace was silent, and no one spoke.

After a long time, Yang Guang slowly stopped at the side of a corridor, and suddenly said, "Uncle Guo, how long will it take for the troops from all over the border pass to arrive?" ”

Dugu Feng stepped forward slightly, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the army on standby in the north should arrive in three to five days, Xiguan is a little farther, General Li rushed to Chang'an, it will take at least ten days, but as long as the army in the north arrives, even if the Ming army comes, it should be able to hold for a period of time and drag on until General Li's arrival." ”

Yang Guang's expression was in a trance: "There are only less than 100,000 troops in the north, can it really hold back the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Dugu Feng's lips moved, but he was silent after all, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.

According to the news, the Ming Dynasty's westward expedition, plus the Jianghu coalition army, exceeded 800,000 people.

100,000 blocks 800,000?

This is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Even if the 100,000 troops who really dragged to Xiguan arrived, it would be useless at all, and at most it would only be delayed for two more days.

This result is clear to everyone.

But at this time, no one dared to say such frustrating words.

The same is true for Yang Guang.

He is not a fool, so he naturally knows the situation at the moment.

But despite this, he didn't want to give up.

didn't go to the last step, how could he be willing to give up Da Sui to others like this?

It can only be said that human nature is like this.

I don't know why.

Now that he has revisited his hometown and arrived at the Daxing Palace of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang suddenly felt a strong sense of exhaustion in his heart.

He has paid a lot of energy and effort for this dynasty, but until now, the Great Sui is still full of holes, and the foundation for more than 30 years is crumbling.

Even his reputation Yang Guang doesn't seem to be very good, and he is called a tyrant among the people, and everyone wants to oppose him.

If you think about it, does it really make sense for him to do all this, his persistence?

In this world, no one can understand him.

There was silence for a long time.

Yang Guang took a deep look at the old palace, and suddenly said: "Spread another will, let them go back, this Chang'an, there is no need to come." ”

There was a moment of silence in the field.

Dugufeng and the others looked up in amazement.

"Your Majesty?!"

Dugu Feng looked at Yang Guang in disbelief: "This Chang'an, don't you keep it?" ”

"No, I'm tired."

Yang Guang sighed, shook his head and said, there was a feeling of breaking the jar.

"This ......"

Dugufeng and the others looked at each other, almost unable to understand Yang Guang's thoughts.

But even they didn't notice that after Yang Guang said this, they all seemed to be secretly relieved in their hearts.

Yang Guang didn't pay attention to them either, he took a few steps forward and looked to the east.

At this time, the sun has just jumped out of the horizon and is slowly climbing towards the sky, and the fiery red sun is gradually shining on the earth, warming the world and reviving all things.

"There is a Ming Dynasty in the east, like the sun rising!"

Yang Guang sighed with emotion, the corners of his mouth showed a touch of self-deprecation, then he tidied up his clothes, his face regained the majesty of the emperor again, slowly turned around, and said: "Let's go, I am in this Daxing Palace, waiting for Daming!" ”

Dugufeng and the others glanced at each other again, they all sighed, shook their heads, and silently followed Yang Guang.

But after not taking a few steps, Yang Guang suddenly stopped.

Dugu Feng and the others raised their heads in confusion, and were about to speak, when their faces suddenly changed.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on the palace?! ”

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and blocked in front of Yang Guang, staring vigilantly at the figure in front of them.

I saw that in the courtyard not far ahead, I don't know when, a handsome young man wearing a silver and white python robe appeared.

The young man's body is long, his bearing is graceful and luxurious, and he vaguely seems to give people a majestic atmosphere, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his eyes are like stars, and he is standing there quietly looking at them at this moment, as if he has been waiting for a long time.

Yang Guang's face changed slightly, staring at the python-robed young man tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?!" ”

He was sure that this man was by no means from the palace, for he had never seen the young man.

Moreover, at this moment, no one in the palace dares to wear a python robe.

Whew, whew—

With Yang Guang's voice, two figures suddenly flashed out from a distance, blocking in front of Yang Guang.

These two people, a man and a woman, both look old, but they are majestic, full of qi and blood, which makes people's hearts awe-inspiring and the pressure increases suddenly.

Seeing these two people appear, Yang Guang and the others relaxed a little.

"Mother."

Dugu Feng hurriedly walked to the old woman who was old and saluted respectfully.

The old woman didn't pay attention to it, just stared at the silver-robed young man opposite, her whole body was tense, and her face was full of solemnity.

"I wonder who your Excellency is? Why did you break into my Great Sui Palace? The old woman asked in a deep voice.

Coming to the people, it is the rain field.

He came for Yang Guang this time, although he met Ling Donglai on the way and delayed for some time, it was naturally impossible to return in vain.

What needs to be done, we still have to do.

Facing everyone's fierce eyes, Yu Huatian's face was calm, and he glanced at the two people who were blocking Yang Guang's front, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Two celestials!

Although they are only in the early stages of heaven and man, they are also very terrifying.

You must know that the previous Ming Dynasty did not have a single celestial.

And the Great Sui has only been established for more than 30 years, and there are two celestials in charge, which should not be underestimated.

However, for him at this moment, there is not much difference between ordinary celestials and ordinary martial artists.

Glancing at Yang Guang in the crowd, Yuhuatian said lightly: "Let them retreat, I don't want to kill people today, even Yuwen Tuo is defeated, they will never be stronger than Yu Wen Tuo." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed suddenly.

Yang Guang's pupils shrank, and he stared at Yuhuatian: "You are the martial king of the Ming Dynasty, Yuhuatian?!" ”

Yuhuatian said calmly: "It's me." ”

The atmosphere was instantly solemn.

No one expected that the culprit who caused the turmoil in the Great Sui and forced them to flee to Chang'an like lost dogs would also appear here.

Thinking of all kinds of information about this person, everyone's hearts sank and they were extremely nervous.

"What do you want to do?!"

Yang Guang stared at Yuhuatian deadly, although he was nervous, he didn't want to fall into the emperor's demeanor.

In addition, there is a trace of hatred and murder in his eyes that is difficult to hide.

In the face of the life-and-death enemy who led to the ruin of his country, no one can remain calm, even if he is the emperor of the Great Sui.

But Yuhuatian turned a deaf ear, just looked at him, and said calmly: "You should know very well, if I want to kill you, no one can stop this Chang'an City, don't you want to talk about it?" ”

Yang Guang's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched, but in the end he released them weakly.

He knew that what Yu Huatian said was the truth.

The power of top martial artists, he has also seen it with his own eyes.

Even Yuwen Tuo was defeated by Yuhuatian, if Yuhuatian really wanted to kill him, at this moment, there was really no one in Chang'an City who could protect him.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Guang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "You guys stand down." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Dugufeng and the others were in a hurry, and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade them.

The old woman, who was called 'mother' by Dugu Feng, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although the two of us are not his opponents, even if we fight to the death, we will definitely not let him hurt Your Majesty in the slightest!" ”

Yang Guang shook his head and said, "Old Taijun You, you should also step down." ”

This old woman is the owner of Dugu Valve, the mother of Prime Minister Dugu Feng, You Old Taijun You Chuhong!

Hearing this, You Chuhong frowned, and was about to speak, but a little cold color appeared on Yang Guang's face, and said, "What?" Isn't it working for me to talk now? ”

You Chuhong was slightly startled, and hurriedly bowed: "The old body doesn't dare." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the old man beside him, frowned, but he didn't dare to disobey Yang Guang's order, and turned to Dugufeng and the others: "Go." ”

The people retreated one by one, stood outside the courtyard, and waited nervously.

Yang Guang also ignored them anymore, tidied up his clothes, walked straight to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, and made a gesture of invitation to Yuhuatian.

Seeing that Yang Guang had regained the majesty and calmness that belonged to the emperor alone, not the kind he pretended, Yuhuatian's eyes couldn't help flashing a touch of admiration, worthy of the famous Emperor Yang of Sui!

Without saying much, Yuhuatian strode across from Yang Guang and sat down, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for Yang Guang himself.

"Please!"

Yang Guang picked up the teacup, took a sip and put it down, then looked at Yuhuatian, who was handsome and graceful, and couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart, and said: "I never thought that the famous martial king, who is famous all over the world and even destroyed the three major dynasties, turned out to be not the appearance of three heads and six arms. ”

"There are so many rumors that can't be trusted."

Yu Huatian smiled faintly, then looked at Yang Guang as well, and said, "Just like Your Majesty, isn't it also called a faint tyrant by the world?" ”

Yang Guang was slightly stunned, then his face sank, a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes, and said, "What?" You're here to see my jokes? ”

He naturally knows what kind of image he has in the people.

Yu Huatian said lightly: "I don't mean to joke about you, what I said is the truth." ”

Yang Guang sneered: "Then in your opinion, am I considered a tyrant?" ”

"Count, it doesn't count."

Yuhuatian said calmly: "Speaking of which, if you weren't too anxious to do things, you wouldn't be able to compare with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, but it may not be impossible to compare with the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and leave a name in history." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Guang's expression was shocked, and the whole person instantly became a little excited.

"Now the whole world is scolding me for being a faint tyrant, but you think I am worthy of being famous in history?!" He looked at Yuhuatian with burning eyes.

Yu Huatian shook his head and said, "I mean, you were originally qualified, but you were played by yourself. ”

"You're in too much of a hurry, what should have been done in generations, you have to do it in this generation, so the situation has become what you see now."

Saying that, Yuhuatian paused and said, "Actually, even if there is no me, it will be a matter of time before the Great Sui falls." ”

"Yuwen Tuo's appearance is just a delay in the outcome of the fall of the Great Sui."

Yang Guang's face was gloomy, he was silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "You're right, I'm out of it." ”

"I have been comparing myself to the first emperor, and I want to create an unprecedented prosperous era, so that farmers can have farming, clothing, and food, but unfortunately, the power of the gate valve clan is too strong, and the rivers and lakes are also turbulent.

"Their presence has seriously hindered my plans for prosperity."

Yang Guang's face was sad and indignant: "I opened the canal to communicate the north and the south, the purpose is to strengthen the connection between the north and the south, and strengthen the control of Jiangnan and other places, is this wrong?" ”

"I conquered Goguryeo three times, in order to get rid of the future troubles forever, the original Goguryeo rose too fast, and also colluded with the Turks, Liaodong and other places were all occupied by it, if you don't fight, it will become a big trouble in the future."

"I just don't want my Great Sui to be like the waste Song Kingdom, and I need to wag my tail and beg for mercy from this group of alien dog thieves in the north in the form of compensation and affinity!"

"Am I wrong?!"

At the end, Yang Guang couldn't help but roar angrily.

These things have been pressing on his heart for a long, long time.

But in this world, no one understands him.

People will only see him opening the canal, consuming countless manpower and material resources, and seeing him conquer Goguryeo three times, provoke wars with foreign races, suffer countless casualties, and seriously deplete the national strength of the Great Sui.

He thought he was a faint king and a tyrant.

But in his opinion, these people are all just a group of short-sighted villains!

It's just that he failed!

The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, he has nothing to say.

Therefore, he began to abandon himself, and the Great Sui also began to have civil strife.

The Great Sui Dynasty, which was originally in full swing, was crumbling like this, and now, it is about to perish......

"I didn't say you were wrong."

Looking at his almost crazy appearance, Yu Huatian shook his head and said, "On the contrary, what you have done is something that is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future. ”

"It's just that the background of the Great Sui is too shallow, and I can't withstand your toss like this."

"Moreover, you are too anxious to lead to such consequences."

"As for the people's evaluation of you, I think that the faint monarch is not counted, but the tyrant is definitely inevitable."

Yang Guang's face froze, smiled bitterly, and said, "Yes!" What I have done can indeed be called a tyrant. ”

"But it doesn't matter anymore, since you fail, you have to suffer the consequences of failure."

"Whether it is right or wrong, leave it to future generations to evaluate."

"At least, in my life, although I have regrets, I never regret what I have done!"

After that, he looked at Yuhuatian and said, "After I finished speaking, if you want to kill it, kill it, this Great Sui, I gave it to you." ”

Yu Huatian couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Don't get me wrong, even if I really destroyed the Great Sui, it wasn't sent by you, with or without you, the result is the same." ”

The corners of Yang Guang's eyes twitched, and he said, "Are you here to attack me, or are you here to kill me?" ”

"Neither."

Yu Huatian shook his head: "I said before, I won't kill you, killing you doesn't mean anything to me." ”

Yang Guang was stunned: "Don't kill me?" So what do you want to do? ”

Yu Huatian pondered for a moment and said, "I originally just wanted you to take the initiative to give up resistance, but I didn't expect that you already had this kind of thought in your heart, so there is no point in me coming this time." ”

"But just now, I suddenly had another idea."

"What thoughts?" Yang Guang asked.

Yu Huatian smiled slightly and said, "Da Sui, it's still yours, you can continue to realize your ideals, I can help you." ”

"However, we have to ...... it in a different way" (end of chapter)
