Xiao was in front of Yang Guangling, with a hint of request in his tone through the screen.

"Duke Tang, Emperor Daxing has left forever, this is the only thing we can do for him. No matter how others hate him and slander him and destroy him, but as his queen, you as his minister, you cannot slander him and destroy him. Even if it is for the honorific, it will be considered this time."

"Now that the west is coming, I am a woman who cannot handle military affairs, so I intend to teach you and Lai Hu'er, Xiao Yu, Wang Shichong, Yang Yichen, and Chen Ling as the ministers of the regent, and you as the Grand Tutor and accept the words."

This is a exchange condition for Empress Xiao.

She knew that Li Yuan now had the troops in Jiangdu, so as long as Li Yuan was willing to accept her request and gave Yang Guang the beautiful posthumous title of Emperor Taizong Wu, she was willing to let Li Yuan go further and become a high-ranking official in one of the three provinces, and give him the title of the third division like Tai Shi.

"How dare Li Yuan!"

Li Yuan said he didn't dare, but he had accepted the deal.

So that day.

Empress Xiao issued an edict.

He was honored as the posthumously named Emperor Wu of Daxing, and his temple name was Taizong. He was supported by the soldiers of Jiangdu to return to Guanzhong and buried in the mountain tomb.

The second edict was to honor the emperor's grandson, Yang You, as the emperor's son, and posthumously named Prince Yuande as Emperor Xiaocheng, with the temple name Shizong. Empress Xiao was honored as the Empress Dowager.

He also posthumously named the crown prince Yang Neng as the emperor's filial piety and named the temple Yizong.

Immediately afterwards, the third edict was issued.

He appointed Li Yuan as the Grand Tutor, and was appointed as the minister of the subordinate province to accept the words, and was promoted to the prefectures and ministers.

He was appointed as the Grand Tutor, appointed as the Inner History Provincial Inner History, and was appointed as the Minister of Pingzhang and the Minister of Government.

He was appointed as the Taibaobao and appointed Zuo Pushe of the Secretariat, and was appointed as the Minister of State for Pingzhang and was appointed as the Minister of Government.

Chen Ling was granted the title of Taiwei, Right Pushe, Wang Shichong was granted the title of Situ, Internal Affairs Minister, Yang Yichen was granted the title of Sikong, Huangmen Minister, and they were all given the title of Pingzhangshi and the Minister of the Government.

On the same day, an edict was issued to support Emperor Taizong's coffin to Xijing.

However, Li Yuan believed that Jiangdu was important and should not be abandoned easily. In the name of preventing Du Fuwei from pursuing, he asked Chen Leng, who was also the minister of regent, to join the position of Jiangdu to remain in Jiangdu and lead 30,000 troops from Jianghuai to stay in Jiangdu.

In this way, Li Yuan was the only minister of the imperial court to the north.

Nearly 100,000 troops left Kyoto and headed north, including more than 60,000 Xiaoguo troops.

Chen Ling led 30,000 Jianghuai troops to stay in Jiangdu.

West of Jiangdu City, Du Fuwei's military camp.

"I didn't expect that the chaos in Jiangdu would end so soon. Li Yuan is very capable."

Du Fuwei heard that the victory had been decided there, and Yu Wenji was killed after only one day of the emperor, and was very disappointed. He originally planned to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, wait for the two Xiaoguo troops to kill each other and suffer losses, then go up to pick up peaches and capture the court in Jiangdu City.

"Li Yuan has gone north and Chen Ling stayed behind."

"This old fox." Du Fuwei sighed.

Kan Ling said, "I think he is too smart. If he is really smart, he should submit to the Liaodong court and join us. In this way, he will not lose his merits as Long Yuanzuo in the future, but now he will embark on the road to confront us."

"Those nobles always have a high opinion of themselves. Forget it, let's not talk about them anymore. What do you think we will do now?"

"Chasing Li Yuan?" asked Ximen Junyi.

Wang Xiongdan shook his head.

"I think we don't have to worry about them. Let's deal with Chen Len of Jiangdu first, take down Jiangdu, and then conquer the entire Huainan, or after taking down Huainan, we will take advantage of the victory to go north and capture Pengcheng Xiapi. In this way, we can connect with Shandong, completely gain a foothold in the southeast, and prepare for the general's southward journey."

Du Fuwei thought about it and it made sense.

"Then I won't chase Li Yuan. No matter what, the Liaodong court is still obeying the Emperor of the Yang family. We are still the Sui army now, and it is not the time to take action. Besides, there is Li Mi in Henan and Dou Jiande in Hebei. It is not easy for Li Yuan to return to Guanzhong, so someone will intercept them."

"Immediately report this information to the Liaodong General to find out."

"Send the order to make meals at the fourth day of tomorrow, and the camp will be launched at the fifth day of tomorrow. The entire army will come to the capital of Jiangdu, and prepare to take this city!" Du Fuwei ordered.

Li Yuan led 100,000 troops northward.

The Xuanfu envoy in Pengcheng, the Minister of the Inner History, came to Hu'er to receive the imperial edict at this time, and was still a little confused.

The emperor died, and then Yu Wenhua, who killed the lord, died after only one day. Now Li Yuan has come with a team of 100,000 people and is going to return to Xijing?

After a while of a moment.

Lai Hu'er ordered the entire army to wear mourning clothes and mourning together to protect the country's mourning.

Everyone cried for the emperor together, scolded Yu Wenhua and Sima Dekan and other traitors, and then accepted this fact.

So Lai Hu'er accepted the order of the Minister of Responsible and became the Minister of Responsible and the Minister of Responsible.

Lai Hu'er personally led the troops south to support him. After the two armies met, Lai Hu'er first went to pay homage to the Empress Dowager Xiao, and then went to worship the Emperor Daxing.

Next, Li Yuan asked Hu'er to discuss and talked for a long time.

In fact, the meaning is that the court left Chen Ling in Jiangdu, and Jiang could not abandon him. Jiang could not abandon him, so Pengcheng could not be abandoned, so Li Yuan invited Hu'er to continue to defend Pengcheng. As for the emperor's coffin, he would take Xiaoguo army back to Xijing.

He also said that the current situation is difficult now, and after he returned to Xijing, he would start to work with everyone to fight against the rebellion, recover lost territory, and return peace to the world.

These words were very righteous.

Lai Hu'er couldn't refute it.

Although he believed that Jiangdu and Pengcheng were actually difficult to defend for a long time, because there was no food and enemies on all sides, it was a place of death. It would be better to withdraw to Guanzhong together, and then develop and slowly recover the lost land.

But Li Yuan said that this is also the meaning of the Empress Dowager.

The man who came to Hu'er was always the most loyal, so he received the order.

Li Yuan also took a large amount of food and food from Pengcheng, and he took away 20,000 troops under Hu'er. So he came to Hu'er and only more than 10,000 troops were left, but he was responsible for defending the three counties of Pengcheng, Xia Pi and Donghai. There was Li Mi in the west and the Luo family army in the east had crossed the sea.

Soothing Lai Hu'er.

Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Chen Len and Lai Hu'er were both ministers of Xiao Houding, but now he can easily deal with it.

Not only that, his troops returning to the West have increased to 80,000, and he has supplemented a lot of food and grass.

So while continuing to move forward, Li Yuan sent people to Luoyang to send an edict, asking Wang Shichong, who was commanding the troops in Luoyang and Pei Renji, who was commanding the western part of Henan, to lead troops to support him.

But this time, things are a little bit hard.

The imperial edict was sent to the eastern capital Luoyang. The officials and generals left behind in Luoyang cried. After shed a few tears, they refused to obey the imperial edict.

Because Wang Shichong, who actually controls Luoyang, is not convinced, why should he go far and not make the King of Yue of Luoyang the emperor, and rebel against the King of Dai of Daxing as the emperor?

Moreover, Wang Shichong was very dissatisfied with Li Yuan's autocratic behavior. He claimed that Li Yuan held the Jiangdu court hostage, so he refused to accept the imperial edict.

He also used his extremely capable mouth to persuade other ministers left by Jiangdu, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu and others.

So just as Li Yuan had just come out of Pengcheng Laihu'er and was coming to Luoyang, Wang Shichong in Luoyang City respected King Yang Tong of Yue ascended the throne and changed his lunar name to Huangtai.

Then Emperor Tai issued an edict, and appointed Wang Shichong as the Grand Tutor, Duke of Zheng, and accepted the words.

He was granted Yuan Wendu as Duke of Lu, the Inner Historian, and Lu Chu as the Left Pushe, and Huangfu Wuyi as the Right Pushe of Shangshu.
