At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 798 Enthroned as Emperor
Soon, the new year is over, and the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also over. Spring returns to the earth, and farmers start to prepare for the annual spring plowing.Just as Gao Bufan expected, Xiao Mian did not come to Luoyang to plead guilty according to the ultimatum, so he was not polite, and formally ordered the crusade against Liang Guo, and appointed Xu Shiji as the marching commander to take full charge of the crusade against Liang Guo.

Ever since, Qi State's [-] troops went straight to Jiangling in multiple ways. Among them, two navy groups set out from Xiangyang and Yiling respectively, and went down the Han River and Yangtze River to attack the city and plunder the land. The division raided the prefectures and counties along the river.

In this way, the battle between Qi State and Liang State started vigorously after the new year. At the same time, Li Shimin also prepared his troops and horses, preparing to attack Xiliang Li Gui and seize the Fengmei pasture at the foot of Qilian Mountain. It is famous all over the world, as long as it is taken down, Datang will not have to worry about war horses, nor will it be subject to the Turks.

On the second month of February, the dragon raised its head. With Yang Tong's repeated insistence and the repeated persuasion of his ministers, Gao Bufan finally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor without any difficulty. The first year of Tianbao.

After Gao Bufan ascended the throne, the first thing he did was naturally a series of rewards. First of all, he respected his father Gao Kaishan as the Supreme Emperor, his mother Chen as the Empress Dowager, his wife's eldest grandson Wugou as the Empress, Dou Xianniang as the Xian Concubine, Cui Shirou as the Shu Concubine, As for Yang Qingruo, the concubine of virtue, other relatives of the Gao clan and several relatives were all conferred titles according to the practice of previous dynasties.

As for the courtiers, Wei Zheng was appointed as Shangshu Zuopushe, who also served as Nayan; Du Ruhui was appointed as Shangshu Youpushe and also served as Minister of Rites; Changsun Wuji served as Minister of Officials; Xu Shiji, Pei Xingyan, Cheng Yaojin and other military generals were all named generals of the guards, and all of them were knighted, so I won't go into details here. Anyway, all civil and military officers were awarded according to their merits and abilities, and everyone in the court was happy for a while.

In this way, Daqi officially founded the Yuan and established the country, and the heroes of Conglong also shared the first wave of dividends and received generous returns. The most prominent of them was naturally the Changsun family. Both Changsun and Changsun Heng'an were appointed Dukes of the county. Among them, Changsun Wuji also held such a powerful position as the Secretary of the Ministry of History. The formerly declining Changsun's family rose again and became the top family in Daqi. The second is the Cui family of Qinghe Well, the "best investor of the year" Cui Hu was also conferred the title of Duke of Qinghe County, and his brother-in-law Cui Jiuling was conferred the title of Duke of Qinghe County. In this way, the Cui family of Qinghe, who was originally a wealthy family, also stepped up to a new level. The same top family.

In addition, "pre-investors" such as Fanyang Lu, Boling Cui, and Youyan seven surnames also received generous returns. Even Dou Jiande, who became a monk, was awarded the honorary title of Zen Master Hongren, and was given a temple and two hundred , ten hectares of fertile land.

In March of Yangchun, the warm wind blows, the willows on both sides of the Luoshui River, boats and boats come and go frequently, pedestrians walk shoulder to shoulder, and the gates of the major cities are full of traffic. Luoyang, the former prosperous eastern capital, seems to be back again. look forward to.

On March [-]th of the first year of Tianbao, in front of Luxue Nunnery, Qianniuwei Zhonglang Gao Dahe was about to shout "The emperor is here", but was stopped by Gao Bufan, but the nun guarding the gate recognized Gao Bufan and hurriedly knelt down to him. He kowtowed on the ground and said, "The poor nun kowtowed to see my emperor."

Gao Bufan slightly raised his hand and said, "Pingshen, is layman Yunshang here?"

"Yes, the poor nun will go in and report." The nun replied respectfully.

Gao Bufan waved his hand and said, "Don't disturb Mrs. Jingyi, just take me in to see Lay Yunshang."

"Yes!" The nun agreed, and brought Gao Bufan to the Buddhist monastery where Bai Yunshang lived.

At this time, Bai Yunshang was practicing kung fu in the courtyard, but when he saw a white dress flickering around, the sleeves were like flowing clouds, and they were like a startling rainbow, which was pleasing to the eye, so Gao Bufan couldn't help but blurted out: "Good kung fu!"

Bai Yunshang hurriedly collected her work and fell to the ground, put her palms together and saluted: "Amitabha, Yunshang has seen the emperor."

Chuchen and Sweeping Snow hurriedly knelt down and said, "Kowtow to the Emperor."

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite, get up." After speaking, he walked quickly to Bai Yunshang, looked up and down joyfully, the latter couldn't help but his face was slightly hot, lowered his eyes and said softly: "I don't know if the emperor is here, Yunshang There is a long way to go."

Gao Bufan waved his hands and said with a smile: "You know I don't pay much attention to red tape, um, it seems that Miss Bai is recovering well, how about doing a few tricks with me?" After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Bai Niu'er to agree, he already slapped her away.

Bai Yunshang dodged helplessly, and Gao Bufan followed him like a shadow. He slashed obliquely with a knife in his hand, and the wind and thunder were faint. The former did not dare to neglect, and dodged again.

Gao Bufan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Good job!"

I saw that the two fought faster and faster, and finally only two groups of figures could be seen flying up and down.

Suddenly there was a muffled bang, and everyone disappeared. Gao Bufan and Bai Yunshang separated, and each retreated Zhang Xuyuan, but it was hard to see who would win and who would win.

Gao Bufan said happily: "It seems that Miss Bai is recovering well, congratulations."

Bai Yunshang looked at Gao Bufan meaningfully and said: "The emperor just let Yunshang deliberately, to remove dust and snow, you should step back first."

Dust and Sweeping Snow immediately left the yard cleverly, so only Gao Bufan and Bai Yunshang were left in the yard.

In March of Yangchun, the peach blossoms in the yard have already fallen, the branches are full of small green peaches, and a layer of peaches has fallen on the ground.Bai Yunshang stood under the peach tree, under the sunshine in spring, that beautiful face like a bright moon was even more rosy, and it was so beautiful that Gao Bufan had the urge to reach out and touch it, but what Bai Yunshang said afterwards It was like pouring a bucket of cold water on him.

"Having troubled the emperor for nearly half a year, Yunshang was really uneasy. She planned to enter the palace tomorrow to see her farewell. Now that the emperor is here, Yunshang took this opportunity to bid farewell to the emperor!" Bai Yunshang smiled.

The smile on Gao Bufan's face slowly disappeared, and it took a long time before he said in a deep voice, "Have you decided to leave?"

Seeing Gao Bufan beating an eggplant like frost, Bai Yunshang's heart couldn't help trembling slightly, she couldn't bear it, but she still nodded.

Gao Bufan forced a smile and said: "Okay, I wish Miss Bai a smooth journey. Whenever you want to exchange blood, come to Luoyang to find me."

Bai Yunshang was inexplicably melancholy, nodded and said, "Take care, Your Majesty."

Gao Bufan hummed, turned around and went out of the courtyard. He is an open-minded and free-spirited person. As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet. Since Bai Niu'er has made up her mind to go, why bother to force her to stay? From now on, let's forget about each other Rivers and lakes, please be safe!

Seeing Gao Bufan walking away without looking back, Bai Yunshang couldn't help but feel lost, and finally let out a sigh.

"Whoever abandons me, don't let the day of yesterday stay, and whoever disturbs my heart, the day of today is so worrying... If you draw a knife, the water will not flow more, and the wine will make you more sad!" Gao Bufan shook his head with a wry smile, and walked out Opened the gate of Luxue nunnery.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Gao Bufan walking out in a depressed mood, Gao Dahe couldn't help hesitating, as if he was constipated.

A flash of surprise flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Gao Dahe said cautiously: "Your subordinate just received a bad news, your majesty, don't get excited when you hear it."

An ominous premonition arose in Gao Bufan's heart, and he hurriedly said: "Fart, let go!"

Gao Dahe hesitantly said: "General Pei Xingyan... was killed in battle."

Gao Bufan was stunned for a moment, then his complexion changed drastically, he jumped on his horse and ran back to the imperial city, just entering Shangshu Province, he saw Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others came out to welcome him.

"I see the emperor..."

Gao Bufan waved his hand and said with reddish eyes, "How did Xingyan die?"

Changsun Wuji hurriedly handed over the [-]-mile share, and Gao Bufan hurriedly grabbed it and opened it to have a look.This urgent report was written by Shi Wenyanbo, Pei Xingyan's army commander. After reading it, Gao Bufan's eyes became even redder, and his whole body exuded a fierce murderous aura. Rao Han Weizheng, Du Ruhui and others couldn't help but be terrified.

"Your Majesty, General Pei was ambushed by Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, and Du Fuwei at the same time, and finally died in battle. He sacrificed his body for the country. Even though he died, he was honored!" Changsun Wuji comforted.

If the murderous aura on Gao Bufan's body had any substance, his face was surprisingly calm. He silently put away the urgent report and put it in his arms, and said indifferently: "I want to conquer by myself!"

Everyone's complexion changed drastically, Wei Zheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he knelt down on the ground with a thump, and said loudly: "As the saying goes, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone the emperor, as the son of heaven, how can he be angry and set up a teacher and destroy the country? The community is in disregard!"

"My personal conquest is for the sake of the country and the community. I have made up my mind, so don't persuade me." Gao Bufan said plainly, but he was as decisive as he was.

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, how can you leave the Eastern Capital so easily, Your Majesty, think twice!"

Wei Zheng said angrily: "If the emperor insists on going his own way, I... I will report my old age and return to my hometown!"

Wei Heimian was already known for his integrity and daring to speak out, but at this moment he was furious, and wanted to offend Yan Zhi by renouncing him.

Gao Bufan bent down and helped Wei Zheng up, and said calmly: "Wei Aiqing doesn't need to force me, I won't allow you to resign, and I must personally conscript!"

Wei Zhengben had changed his mind since Gao Bufan, he didn't expect that he would go to conquer himself, he couldn't help but trembled with anger.

"Wuji, Ruhui, please persuade Lao Wei!" Gao Bufan turned around and strode away from Shangshu Province after finishing speaking. He must avenge Xingyan's revenge with his own hands. Li Zitong, Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing, one counts as the other. , don't even try to run.

Recalling all the past, Gao Bufan couldn't help but feel pained, and he regretted it endlessly. He hesitated. If he hadn't hesitated at the beginning, he had changed people immediately and transferred Xingyan back, maybe this tragedy would not have happened.
