Great Sui Dynasty

Chapter 221 Yang Hao Proclaims Emperor

Daxing, no, it should be called Chang'an at this time, because Li Yuan wants to proclaim himself emperor, and in order to show that the country he wants to build is not a brutal country like the Sui Dynasty, so Daxing was renamed Chang'an, which means long-term peace and stability.

At this time, Chang'an gradually regained its vitality after experiencing Li Yuan's governance. Of course, it was thanks to Yang Hao's not reckless attack on Guanzhong, which enabled Chang'an to develop in the cracks, especially the Turkic invasion directly caused a large number of people who fled. Fleeing into the Guanzhong area or some big gentry families directly moved into Chang'an, this is one of the reasons why Chang'an regained its vitality.

Li Yuan wanted to become emperor a long time ago, but he was afraid that he would bear the infamy of usurping the throne, so he endured without excessively persecuting Yang You, but he was also afraid that he would become the second Cao Cao. I have been unable to climb to the top and I am worried about it, but for some reason, Yang You seems to have suddenly realized that he will give up his position to him. The reason is that Chang'an can prosper under Li Yuan's governance, and under his leadership, he can stop the Turkic invasion. .Li Yuan was very surprised by this, but no matter what, at least he was able to ascend to the position of emperor in a legitimate way.

After all, Li Yuan is a veteran of the Sui Dynasty. He has been in court for a long time, and he never fell down in the face of Yang Guang's deliberate suppression. The emperor's news did not meet any opposition, at least not in name, and Kong Yingda, the grand master of the court, was the first to come out to express his support.It was Kong Yingda who welcomed Li Yuan into the city. After Li Yuan entered Chang'an, Kong Yingda immediately said that he would step down and close the door to ignore the outside world. For this sensible person, Li Yuan didn't do anything to him, and still let him hang on to the title of the grand master. title.

The reason why Li Yuan dared to claim the title of emperor was because after the defeat of the Turks, the northern part of Guanlong was vacated, and he took the opportunity to occupy it. The territory expanded four or five times overnight, and the combined strength in his hands and that of Li Shimin was more than 30. Although the public is inferior to Yang Hao and Xiao Xian in appearance, they can be regarded as a big force.

Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, of course he had to distribute the feudal titles arbitrarily, Li Jiancheng was in Chang'an, and was the eldest son, of course he had to be the crown prince.Out of guilt and compensation for Li Shimin, the most important thing is that Li Shimin controls half of the army of the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin was named Shang Shuling, General Youyiwei, King Qin and General Tiance. the power of the government.Li Yuanji was named King of Lu, while Li Zhiyun, who died, was posthumously named King of Chu Ai.

The news of Li Yuan's proclaiming the emperor reached Luoyang, and Du Ruhui became excited for a while, and started his long-planned plan. First, he aggressively attacked Li Yuan for usurping the throne in the public opinion, and then spread rumors secretly that King Qi would follow the current situation and become emperor. Is the most orthodox candidate for the throne.Of course, the people in the Guanlong area don’t care who you are the emperor, what they care about is whether they can live a stable life, but the news that the king of Qi is going to be the emperor spread to Chang’an, which made the ministers in Chang’an feel alive again. After all, the territory of the Great Sui dominates the world, and King Qi is the son of Yang Guang. No matter in name or strength, King Qi has the highest voice. In comparison, Li Yuan is at most a thief.

The ministers began to work one by one, and when Li Yuan made up his mind to lock up a group, and after killing a group, no one dared to be passive and sabotage, but Chang'an City began to complain, and Li Yuan realized that he seemed to be called the emperor. early.

"Keming and the others are forcing me!" Yang Hao said with emotion after receiving the news. Fortunately, he was not forced to step down, but to be enthroned, but thinking about it, he should be called emperor. This country cannot be left alone for a day , the world would be in chaos without a master, not to mention according to the situation, his unification of the world is certain. In fact, no emperor ascended the throne after the unification of the world, and all of them proclaimed themselves emperor after the situation became clear. Even Xiao The retreating forces like Xian and Li Yuan wanted to proclaim themselves emperor to win over the loyalty of their subordinates, not to mention that Yu Wenhuaji wanted to proclaim himself emperor when he was dying.

"Please follow the people's will and ascend the throne as emperor!" No. [-] knew the news, although he couldn't see anything from Yang Hao's expression, but he knew what he was going to do.

"Get up, this king has his own opinion on this matter, you don't have to worry about it!" Yang Hao said calmly, proclaiming the emperor is not so easy, it's not that you just say that you want to be the emperor, and you are proclaiming the emperor, there is a lot of knowledge in it It depends on the heat. If the heat is not enough, it will be useless. Once the time comes, it will happen naturally.Du Ruhui and the others were just testing the depth of the water.

Of course No. [-] did not do anything as Yang Yan said. He sent news to Pei Ju in Jiangdu, Xu Shiji and Zhou Faxing who were attacking Xiao Xian, and Yang Yichen and Luo Yi in Hebei, asking them to invite the prince to become emperor together. Of course Qingzhou is unavoidable, and the people of Qingzhou are the ones who support Yang Hao the most.

Faced with the pleas from the people under his rule and the generals under his command, Yang Wei rejected them all, saying that the country had not yet been unified and he dared not think about becoming emperor.However, as soon as this remark came out, it caused a greater shock. Compared with the robbers like Xiao Xian and Li Yuan, Yang Hao was originally an emperor who didn't even want to become emperor. times!

It is said that in some places, Baixin petitioned in front of the county government office every day because Yang Hao refused to proclaim himself emperor. Yang Hao knew that these were the people below who wanted to take the opportunity to gain more political credit, but he did not stop them. He also needs to take advantage of this situation as long as no one is killed.In order to show humility, the ancient emperors always had to push back when they ascended the throne. After three times, they expressed their willingness to sell their body for a hundred or so jin to this country. To choose the master of this world, although this is to force others with a whip, but what does it matter, at least he is not a cruel person.

When petitions from all over the country were flying towards Licheng like a snowflake, Yang Wei rushed to Luoyang with ease, because Luoyang was the real base camp, and he was the only one in Licheng, and many things still left those The think tanks are going to have a headache, who made them come up with such a mess.

"Cough cough~"

"My lord!" Just when Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others were proud of their hand, no one knew that Yang Hao would come directly to Luoyang without making a sound.They are waiting to be criticized one by one, after all, they are making their own decisions, without the prior consent of the prince.

"You guys are very good. You drove this dynasty into a rage one by one. You actually stabbed this king without watching you for a day. You have grown up, right?" Yang Hao walked around the room with his hands behind his back, pretending to be He looked very angry, but it's a pity that he is not an actor. For Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, who know him very well, he knows the habits of his master quite well. It's okay to be angry on the surface. Oops.

"My lord, hehe, do you want to pull them out to play the board?" Cheng Yaojin asked gleefully at the side. He also just came back. Some time ago, he followed Li Jing to the river east and wiped out Liang Shi. I've been upset since I didn't catch up with Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling's song.Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stared at Cheng Yaojin's words, but it doesn't matter if Lao Cheng has thick skin.

"Okay, pull him out to play a few boards, and pull Cheng Yaojin out to play a few boards. If you fail to save him, you will make trouble." Yang Hao also took this opportunity to show Cheng Yaojin a little bit of color, is it easy to pretend to be serious after all? You are still having fun there, purely asking for it.

"After the fight, hurry up and take care of the matter for me. My king will go to the palace first and find a comfortable house for my precious son and daughter." Yang Yan put down his words and left, but Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling listened. Out of the meaning in the words, the prince agreed to be the emperor, and their thoughts were not in vain.

"My lords, please!" Zhou Han made a gesture of please, and the matter of hitting the board still needs to be carried out.The three of them looked at each other, and Fang and Du felt that the prince could agree to ascend the throne, and it would be fine to be punished, and Cheng Yaojin would be an unjust ghost by then.

A series of orders were issued from Luoyang to go to various places under Yang Wei's rule. The new emperor must have someone come to see him, but the original Sui officials were basically in Chang'an, and Jiangdu. Chang'an can't; come, but Jiangdu can. Come to participate in the enthronement of the new emperor, and the prefects of all parties will also come, and take advantage of Yang Hao's enthronement to build a power center.Don't want the three small centers of Licheng, Luoyang, and Jiangdu, that would be too messy.

August is the end of summer and autumn, and grains from all over the country have already been put into warehouses. It is the time of slack farming. The news that Yang Hao is going to proclaim himself emperor has caused a huge sensation in the whole Sui Dynasty, and it is discussed everywhere. The Taoist is overcrowded, there are officials and common people, they all went to witness the new emperor's enthronement.

Hearing the news that Yang Hao was going to ascend the throne, Tuli sent envoys to watch the ceremony, the Xi, Khitan, and Mohe tribes in the north all sent envoys to congratulate and watch the ceremony, and the Pu tribe and Fuguo in the south also sent envoys, and all nations came to congratulate The grand event was unprecedented, and Yang Hao's enthronement ceremony had to be postponed. At the end of August, everything was ready, and envoys from various countries had arrived, and Yang Hao's enthronement ceremony officially began.

In order to facilitate the viewing of the ceremony and to show that the new emperor is friendly to the people, the Qianyuan Hall is already crowded with people, so the people are allowed to come to watch the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, but not all people can come to the scene in person, after all, the crowd is too chaotic and difficult to manage , accidentally someone with ulterior motives would sneak in, but Yang Hao still persuaded other people to let some people enter the palace to watch the ceremony.

A red carpet stretches down dozens of steps along the Qianyuan Hall, and the guards of honor and musicians are all in place.

Suddenly, an army came from the left side of the Qianyuan Hall, guarding a golden carriage in the middle of the army, and everyone's eyes were on that carriage. Everyone knew that the man in the carriage was the protagonist of today, and also The master of this world from now on.

The carriage stopped by the red carpet. Yang Hao got off the carriage and walked up the red carpet step by step. The dark yellow dragon robe was shining brightly under the sunlight, and there were only a few dozen steps. It can be done by breathing, but when Yang Hao started to walk, everyone held his breath, it seemed that their hearts would be shaken every time Yang Hao took a step.

The new emperor's enthronement ceremony was presided over by the most respected Pei Ju, and Pei Ju had already been waiting there.Pei Ju read a long paragraph of praises to Yang Hao, and almost described Yang Hao as a wise king who has never been seen before or since.

"Please Tianzixi!" When he said the last procedure, Pei Ju was a little surprised that the Tianzixi was actually in the hands of Yang Hao, and Yang Hao would get what Yu Wenwen and other efforts failed to get, but in this way, Yang Hao The emperor's throne will be more indisputable, and the emperor's seal represents the destiny of heaven.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Yang Wei took the emperor's seal, put his hands on top of his head, and the king's spirit was full of unrestrained, Pei Ju knelt down, seeing Pei Ju kneeling, everyone knelt down, "Long live" The sound resounded throughout the palace!
