Chapter 517 This time, Your Majesty really got his wish

Chapter 517

The ceremony seemed a bit sloppy, but not crude at all. All the officials of the fifth rank and above who were still in Jiangyang City, or the noble dignitaries of the highest rank, were all present here.

Whether you come here voluntarily or by force, you are here.

Anyone who is not here but comes to Jiangdu with His Majesty has become the dead soul of the Xiaoguo Army rebels.

As for all the royal family members except Yang Hao, they have all been killed.

Yang Hao sat dumbly behind the imperial desk, letting Yu Wen Zhiji and others speak there. Inside and outside the hall, there were murderous auras rising, and the Xiaoguo Army rebels were eyeing them.

Whenever Yuwen Zhiji and others saluted him, "Your Majesty, please give me permission..."

Yang Hao did nothing but nodded numbly and uttered the correct word.

During the short period of time, the Sui Dynasty had a lot of new dignitaries. Sima Dekan worshiped Dr. Guanglu and was granted the title of Duke Wen. Pei Qantong worshiped Dr. Guanglu and was granted the title of Duke of Ju...

Yu Wenzhiji became Zuopushe, and Yu Wenhuaji became the Prime Minister.

Looking at the ministers and ministers who were either happy or forced to smile, Yu Wenhuaji stood beside the emperor's imperial case, stroking his long beard, and couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.

"Your Majesty, I would also like to ask your Majesty to pass on an edict to the people of Jiangdu to reassure their people. In addition, I would also like to ask your Majesty to pass on another edict and return to Chang'an in the near future."

Yang Hao quickly stood up and wanted to salute and answer, but he seemed to feel that it was not appropriate, so he had to stand behind the imperial case and speak respectfully.

"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. Gu... no, I am correct. I will draw up an edict to appease the army and the people."

Yu Wenhuaji was very satisfied with Yang Hao's respectful attitude and nodded slightly while stroking his long beard.

"That's enough. You are your Majesty. Please sit down, lest your ministers think that the Prime Minister has done something inappropriate."

"The Prime Minister must not say that. The Prime Minister is the backbone of the country. Whatever he does is for the sake of the country and the country of the Sui Dynasty."

Zuo Pushe Yuwen Zhiji, who was on the side, saw Yang Hao acting like this and couldn't help but smile proudly.

"Your Majesty is indeed kind and wise. In this way, we, the monarch and his ministers, can live in peace and harmony..."

"This is natural. What Zuo Pushe said is absolutely true. We should be able to live in peace." Yang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed out a smile.

Empress Xiao was sitting in the harem of the palace. It had only lasted a few days. Empress Xiao, who was originally plump and graceful, but still had charm, looked so haggard.

In front of them, there were seven thin coffins, which were pieced together with door panels by a few eunuchs and concubines who were still willing to stay with them.

Wang Zhong wiped the tears from his face and stood quietly aside. It turned out that Queen Xiao had already left the palace.

However, he did not expect that the thieves would be hunting down the people in the city, and the news that Emperor Yang Guang was dead would reach the ears of Empress Xiao, who had just escaped and was hiding in a private house.

After that, the emperor died and almost all the royal family members were killed except King Hao of Qin. The entire city began to hunt for Empress Xiao.

A group of rebels happened to break out of the house, and Wang Zhong was almost killed. In desperation, Empress Xiao had no choice but to show up.

Naturally, Empress Xiao, who had been automatically promoted to the Empress Dowager due to Yang Guang's death, made a deal with Na Yu Wenhua and others.

He agreed that Qin Wanghao should be the new emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but the bodies of Yang Guang and Lai Huer who died in the palace were handed over to him for burial.

The entire Jiangyang City was in chaos, and all Empress Xiao could do was to dismantle some door panels in the palace, and finally put Yang Guang, Lai Huer, and the loyal guards into coffins.

"Your Majesty, can't they be accommodating?" A concubine wiped away her tears and asked Empress Xiao in a low voice.

Empress Dowager Xiao, who had been promoted, sighed deeply and spoke softly.

"No, the Ai family can't leave the palace, and even His Majesty can't leave. In this case, I have no choice but to thank you, Mr. Wang Zhong."

"Find a few people to bury His Majesty, General Lai and others in the back garden first."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right away. Please express my condolences..." Wang Zhong saluted Empress Xiao, turned around, and waved to the eunuchs.

Carefully, he began to carry out the thin coffins, and then began to dig a pit in the back garden.

"Your Majesty is so kind to the Yuwen family, but I didn't expect that it was them who killed Your Majesty..." A concubine secretly cried and gnashed her teeth.

"It would have been great if His Majesty had listened to Yang Liushou's words when he was in Yanmen. Now, His Majesty can still live in peace in Jiangnan, and so can we..."

"Okay... Now that we've come to this point, there's no point in complaining..."

Queen Xiao sighed softly, rubbed her eyebrows, and a sad smile appeared on her face.

"Now, Your Majesty has really fulfilled his wish. He is not allowed to be born in the south of the Yangtze River, but he wishes to sleep in the south of the Yangtze River forever."

"Empress, I heard that I will leave Jiangdu soon. Are you really going back to Chang'an?"

"The Ai family doesn't know either, maybe, no matter where they go, how much they have to do with us."

Queen Xiao replied with an indifferent expression.

"When His Majesty is buried, remember to call the Ai family." After saying this, Empress Xiao, who was frightened and had never had a good rest, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The concubines and maids around him also shut their mouths obediently, but they were weeping silently.

"Stand up, take a rest, stand at attention, step forward in unison, one, two, one, one, two, one..." followed by shouts of scolding.

He was originally a bandit, but later became a prisoner of war of Jiangdu Army.

At this moment, in order to have three meals a day and have enough to eat, I can only listen to the instructions of the so-called "instructors" and work hard to maintain a military posture.

After being imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp, the rations for the first three days were barely enough to fill his stomach.

On the fourth day, people began to enter the prisoner-of-war camp to select prisoners who were willing to participate in repentance training.

On the first day, only a thousand old and weak people came forward.

As a result, the first meal was a bowl of meat porridge. After that, they started to practice formation and gait.

Their training took place just across the wall from the prisoner of war camp.

Seeing that they were neither beaten nor scolded, nor punished, but if they did not perform according to standards, they would be punished individually and have to do it again. If they continued to fail, their meals would be halved.

I watched it like this for several days, watching those old and weak people who could not even distinguish left from right at the beginning, because they were able to eat and drink enough and practice every day, they became more and more different.

And also teach them literacy, teach them writing, reading...

Five days later, another training officer came to ask for people. This time, three to four thousand people came out at once.

The rest continued to drink the life-threatening pickle porridge, nibbled on the steamed buns, and looked enviously at those robes who had put on their new military uniforms and started to drill.

On the seventh day, thousands of cavalrymen galloped out of Luokou City, escorting grain trucks towards Dongdu.

When they returned, they brought with them about five thousand prisoners of war, all of whom were bandits from Wagang Village...
