Five hundred and seventieth chapters two emperors stand side by side
As time passed, the five counties headed by Jiangdu, as Jiangdu stabilized, other places quickly calmed down.
Even Du Fuwei, the general manager of the Jianghuai River, raised his army and surrendered to King Wu. How dare those rebel bandits who were far inferior to him dare to jump around? They either went down the mountain to serve the people or fled to other places, which made the land of the five counties peaceful.
Immediately afterwards, King Wu issued a general amnesty to the whole country (only five counties), opened the official warehouses, and released grains. He did not dare to say that everyone would be fed and clothed, but at least he ensured that the people of the five counties would not starve to death or freeze. In addition,
With the great construction of the People's Republic of China in various cities and places, as long as you are not a lazy person, you can basically find something to do and stay warm.
In this way, people's morale will be greatly stabilized, and the public security environment will naturally improve a lot.
The most important point is that it is good that King Wu did not conquer all directions. There were no rebels who dared to attack the five counties of Jiangdu, which allowed the five counties to prosper and develop.
When the situation in the five counties of Jiangdu was initially settled and all industries were revived, wars and storms were still raging all over the country.
The thing that attracts the most attention from people all over the world is naturally the Great Sui Empire.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although it can be said that the world is now in rebellion and attacking in groups, the foundation of the Sui Empire is there. The patron king and other great kings are still there, and elite soldiers from all sides are still there.
The biggest impact and loss was the death of the Civil and Military Saint Emperor, and many of the emperor's sons and grandsons, including Prince Yang Zhao and King Qi Yang Jian, were assassinated. None of the deceased were still young, and they were unable to preside over the empire that was crumbling in the chaos.
As a result, the throne of the emperor was vacant, and there was no suitable emperor to succeed him. There were rebels outside and no emperor inside, which made the people's hearts wander and the people's minds were confused.
Fortunately, the patron king Yang Lin returned to the Western Capital safely under the protection of the Silver Demon Pei Yuanqing, the remaining Lotus Shadow Guards and the Jiangdu Forbidden Army, which made the turbulent Western Capital a little more stable.
The patron king is the patron king. After returning to the capital, he did not follow Empress Xiao's orders to seek the throne and inherit the throne. Instead, he immediately entered the palace and contacted Empress Dowager Dugu to discuss the big plan.
Three days later.
The patron king and the Queen Mother Dugu reached a secret agreement, and with the support of the Dugu family, Xiao family, Pei family and other famous families, they also obtained the four heavenly kings: Xuanxiang Wang Gaoying, Zhenwu King He Ruobi, Yutian King Yu Juluo, Double Spear King Dingyanping
recognition.
Yang You, the direct grandson of the Civil and Military Saint Emperor Yang Guang and the third son of the former Crown Prince Yang Zhao, officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, named Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty. He was only seven years old.
The new emperor ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, and granted ministers great titles.
Yang Lin, the patron king, was named regent and temporarily presided over the affairs of the Sui Dynasty on behalf of Emperor Gong Yang You;
Empress Dowager Dugu, Dugu Jialuo, came back and listened to politics from behind the curtain, but she did not interfere in military affairs and only had the right to make suggestions on military affairs (this was a kind of restraint).
Wu Xin, the king of Zhennan and the unparalleled king of martial arts, was named the King of Zhennan of Qitian. He was in charge of all military affairs and people's livelihood in the south. He also gave the late emperor a royal treasure, which originally belonged to the patron king Yang Lin... The patron whip can be used to beat down the emperor and treacherous ministers. It has
The right to kill first and then report later.
As a result, the shaky and unpopular Sui Empire had a patron king inside and Queen Mother Dugu in charge. Outside there were four kings such as King Xuanxiang to intimidate. In the south, with the support of King Zhennan, a series of attacks were added.
With the appeasement policy, the crisis and chaos situation stabilized surprisingly quickly.
Rumor has it all over the world that the Sui Empire is now united as one.
With the Five Heavenly Kings and Empress Dowager Dugu coming out of the mountain, and the Zhennan King cooperating from the north and south, the situation was even more stable than when the Civil and Military Saint Emperor Yang Guang was in power.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is news spread intentionally by the court.
The biggest shortcoming of today's Sui Dynasty is that on the surface, there are no immortal-level figures in charge, and the deterrent effect is somewhat insufficient.
Of course, the four anti-kings also don’t have immortal-level figures in charge, so it doesn’t mean they can’t work.
What's more, the Daxiangguo Temple, one of the four major Buddhist temples that has always supported the imperial court, definitely has immortals. Whether it supports the imperial court or not, I don't know. I would rather believe that it exists than that it doesn't exist!
Unfortunately, today's Sui Empire is riddled with holes. Even with the emergence of the five heavenly kings, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and it is difficult to restore the ruined world in a short time. All we can do is to cut off the strength of the strong men, resolutely give up the territory in the eyes of the rebels, and use the participating military forces
Take back the west side and wait for it to regain its strength and regain the mountains and rivers.
Finally, the attitude of King Wu Wu Xin, who is now named King of Zhennan, is unclear.
If King Wu supports the new court, it is really possible to save the Sui ship that is about to capsize.
Not long after, Wu Xin, who had just been named the "King of Qitian Zhennan", came out with the news that he was about to establish a country and a dynasty, which shocked the world and almost dealt a heavy blow to the heart of the Sui Empire, which was still seriously ill.
The only thing that is surprising is...
According to reliable information, King Wuxin of Zhennan only established a kingdom. He probably just wanted to have a certain degree of autonomy and independence, and was not completely opposed to the Sui Dynasty.
After all, there were many kingdoms affiliated with the Sui Empire, both in the north and south.
…
On the fifth day after Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty Yang You ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, rumors spread that Wu Xin, the king of Qitian Zhennan, wanted to found a country and a dynasty...
Li Yuan, who had seized the Eastern Capital, proclaimed Yang Tong, the grandson of the emperor who stayed in the Eastern Capital, as emperor and changed his name to Emperor Tai of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Tai.
Yang Tong, the grandson of Yang Guang, the second son of the former crown prince Yang Zhao, was the elder brother of Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty Yang You, and was only eight years old.
At the same time, Li Yuan was officially crowned King of Tang by the new emperor (Emperor Yang Tong), and took charge of the military affairs of the Eastern Capital. He held high the banner of "Qing Jun Side", angrily cursed the patron king, Empress Dowager Dugu and others, and went against the grain, assassinating civil and military officials.
The Holy Emperor Yang Guang was in Jiangdu, and violated the late emperor's instructions (women were not allowed to participate in politics), intending to seek power and overthrow the world. And the well-known civil and military Holy Emperor's favorite minister Yu Wenshi testified that the patron king Yang Lin had colluded with the bandits.
The "irrefutable evidence" of the bandit's assassination of Yang Guang is announced to the world!
As soon as the announcement came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Li Yuan, the king of Tang Dynasty, personally led his army out of the eastern capital and began to "clear the emperor's side", attacking cities and villages all the way. The people's support was invincible.
Unfortunately, due to his missteps in the Jiangdu War, Li Tang suffered a lot of criticism from the anti-military alliance. The attitudes of the major forces changed and they no longer fully supported Li Tang. Otherwise, Li Tang's power could have doubled several times.
Baima Temple, one of the four major Buddhist temples, announced that it would be closed for ten years. From then on, it stopped caring about worldly affairs and only focused on worshiping the Buddha.
Shaolin Temple, one of the four major Buddhist temples, announced its support for the new emperor Huang Tai.
However, even if some disciples were sent to respond to the situation, the immortal-level monk Hui Xin suffered a serious injury and had to stay in seclusion to recuperate for ten to eight years. I am afraid that he will not be able to recover well.
Comparable to the superpower Chunyang Palace, the two top Buddhist temples that can be said to be Li Tang's right-hand men reacted like this, let alone other powers, unless they really had no choice, they could hide if they could, and avoid if they could.
In the world's war, it's not like people like them who can participate in the world war!
Of course, the White Horse Temple and the Shaolin Temple are both within the territory of Dongdu, and it is not enough to deny Emperor Huangtai. The White Horse Temple has indeed suffered heavy losses, and its strength is not weak, so Li Tang did not dare to push too hard.
…
On the occasion of Emperor Huangtai's rank, he granted the title of Prince Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty. In order to make up for the loss of various forces, he also granted the title of Prince Luo Yi, Prince of Yan, Prince Dou Jiande of Xia, and Prince Zhai Rang of the East, as well as dozens of dukes, marquises, and even Prince Wu.
The dramatic title of "Emperor Qitian" clearly shows that he is in opposition to Emperor Gong.
The three kings, Luo Yi, Dou Jiande and Zhai Rang, quickly announced that the world would only recognize the emperor Tai Tai. They also held high the banner of "Qingjun side" and began to mobilize their troops to wipe out the "treacherous evil" in the world.
Duke Li Chuze of Daliang, Duke Bai Yugong talked about the saints, Duke Shen Faxing of Shangliang and other rebel kings were dissatisfied with the new emperor's duke grant and were not granted the title, so they simply formally founded the country and proclaimed themselves king, and then... it was gone.
Regardless of whether he is orthodox or not, the winner is king! (To be continued ~^~)
