Chapter 524 I want to tell Your Majesty, this world, I want it
Chapter 524
Luokou Cangcheng, Yang Qian's residence, at this moment, a group of civil and military personnel under his command are coming from all over the city and outside.
Everyone gathered outside the front hall, either talking in low voices or sighing, and from time to time they would cast their eyes into the hall.
But at this moment, the door outside the hall was guarded by Yang Qian's personal soldiers, and no one was allowed to enter the hall.
Everyone knew that Yu Wenji, Yu Wenzhi and their brothers had colluded, causing the generals of Xiaojun to rebel.
Emperor Yang Qian of the Sui Dynasty refused to be humiliated and committed suicide by taking poison. The general came to protect his son and led his troops to fight to the death. In the end, exhausted, he also took poison and followed Yang Guang.
Everyone was shocked, but for those close to Yang Qian's command, they were shocked but not surprised.
Because Yang Qian had already concluded early on that if Yang Guang released those two ungrateful people, sooner or later, he would suffer serious consequences.
The result was just as Yang Qian had predicted. Hearing this news, the Pei family, his son and others who had recently come to seek refuge could not help but feel sad.
"Before he committed suicide by taking poison, His Majesty left a posthumous poem, written in his own handwriting, and gave it to us to stay behind..."
"I think your Majesty should have already known by that time that my family had good intentions when they insisted on asking your Majesty to kill brother Yuwen."
"The commander-in-chief thought that he couldn't bear to let others see his sadness, so he ordered his Majesty's legacy to be hung in the hall, and then ordered no one to come near it."
"He stayed in the hall by himself, alas... Your Majesty and the commander-in-chief get along well with each other.
But I didn’t expect that not long after the commander-in-chief left Jiang, he would be separated from His Majesty..."
"Hey, look, who's coming..."
"Come, general, why don't you rest in the mansion?" Li Jing saw Lai Zheng walking into the mansion with red and swollen eyes, and hurried forward to greet him and asked.
Lai Zheng saluted Li Jing, his voice was hoarse and sad.
"Nothing happened to me here. My father asked for mercy and he was benevolent. I am a member of the Lai family and got the help of the commander. I was able to escape from danger. I am taking care of myself under the command of Qin County Governor. I have nothing to worry about."
"I'm here, firstly, to thank the commander-in-chief, and secondly, to ask for a battle and ask him to lead his army to the south of the Yangtze River to defeat Yuwen's bandit army."
"Please invite the general to wait for a moment. At this moment, the commander-in-chief has ordered that no one should disturb him." Li Jing sighed softly, turned his head and looked at the front hall.
At this moment, two generals, Li Shimin and Su Dingfang, were sitting in person, leading a group of soldiers to guard outside the hall door, as if they did not recognize their relatives.

Yang Qian sat upright, raised his head, and looked at the framed Bai Xuan hanging in the hall.
Above is Yang Guang's remarkable calligraphy, which is also a five-character quatrain.
"I dreamed that Jiangnan was good, and the expedition to Liao was also accidental, but the color is still there, and I can only leave this year..."
The small characters below, chatting a few words, made Yang Qian seem to see the tall and burly Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, who always liked to hold his head high and laugh.
He picked up the pen and put it on the paper. After writing vigorously, he also spoke softly.
"I have failed the world, but fortunately I will not fail Jiangnan. When the world is at peace, let me sleep peacefully in Jiangdu Palace."
"This is the only wish..."
Yang Qian sighed quietly. "Your Majesty, is it so difficult to admit your mistake?"
But Yang Qian knew that if Yang Guangquan knew anything about it, he would never mention the wrong things he had done, and would only tell himself that he thought he had done nothing wrong.
What was wrong was the two thieves Yu Wenhuaji and Yuwen Zhiji, what was wrong was the beacon smoke in the sky, and what was wrong was the heroes who raised their troops.
Perhaps he would only proudly count his countless achievements. When he was a prince, he conquered Nanchen as a commander and unified the world.
When he was the emperor, he built the eastern capital, opened a canal to connect the north and the south, held imperial examinations, cut down the clans, and raised troops to conquer the disobedient Goguryeo.
After counting his achievements, he would also ask, "I am rich all over the world and powerful overseas. What's wrong with me?"
"Your Majesty, in fact, you had many opportunities, but you missed them one by one because of your nature."
"Just like history, we have reached this day and ended up like this."
"Now, the world is in chaos again and has become a mess again..."
Yang Qian showed a bitter smile.
"Ever since I learned that you stubbornly followed the original historical path, from that moment on, all I could do was to work hard to repair the leaks and try to make the world suffer less harm."
"But you are your Majesty. The rise and fall of the Sui Dynasty are all determined by your thoughts, and the same is true for the life and death of everyone in the world."
No matter what, Yang Guang is a very contradictory person, as long as he likes and trusts.
As an emperor, the trust he gives is so sincere that it is jaw-dropping.
But he doesn't like or be happy with it, even if this person is loyal to the court and loyal to him.
Even though he knew it, he would rather demote the other person or find a pretext to kill him.
"Now that you have finally passed away, it is a sad thing for you and for us, our monarchs and ministers."
"But for the world, for me, Yang Qian, it is a blessing..."
Yang Qian's expression gradually faded away from the initial sadness and nostalgia.
"I can promise you that I will definitely help you fulfill your last wish. In this way, we can be considered a complete monarch and minister."
"I want to tell Your Majesty that I want this world. I want it to be what I imagined. It will be better than you imagined..."
"The aristocratic families will gradually disappear. I will improve and pass on the imperial examinations pioneered by you and your father..."

"Commander, what's going on? It's been almost an hour. Is there anything going on?" Su Dingfang quietly turned his head and took a look.
Li Shimin shook his head helplessly. "It will definitely be fine. My brother-in-law's character is far stronger than you think."
"It's just that the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, although he is not very good, he really trusts my brother-in-law... Huh? Dad!"
Li Shimin saw his father Li Yuan coming in a hurry and looked back at the hall.
Yang Qian had already heard the chatter between Li Shimin and Su Dingfang. He stood up, bowed to the painting of Yang Guang's legacy, and then turned around and left the hall.
"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law." Yang Qian bowed respectfully to Li Yuan.
"You don't have to be polite, my dear son-in-law. I feel more relieved when I see you." Li Yuan, who galloped from Xingyang County on horseback, took a deep breath.
"It seems that Duke Tang has also learned of His Majesty's sad news." Li Jing saluted Li Yuan.
If it wasn't such an important matter, Li Yuan wouldn't have to rush over in person.
Li Yuan nodded with a complicated expression.
"Exactly, I really didn't expect that His Majesty would die in the hands of those little ones. It's really..."
Having said this, Li Yuan paused and looked at Yang Qian eagerly, then lowered his voice and asked.
"When your Majesty dies, the world will definitely be in chaos. At this time of crisis, my dear son-in-law, what do you think?"
Everyone who was still talking about it immediately shut up and turned their attention to Yang Qian.
Then I heard a burst of rapid footsteps.
"Commander, an angel has arrived outside the city and ordered the commander to go and receive the order."
"???"
(The following number of words is free) It’s another new day. The epidemic is getting lighter and lighter. I hope it will end soon and return to normal life soon. I also wish everyone peace
