As Yang Xiu committed suicide by taking poison, the sudden civil strife in the 19th year of Kaihuang also ended.⊥

In Jutan City, the Changsun Hong brothers opened the city to surrender with Yang Xiu's body, and the 80,000 Guanzhong troops also abandoned their weapons. The good situation was amazing. Three months ago, Yang Xiu killed the lord and usurped the throne and occupied Guanzhong. Yang Guang returned to Yangzhou from Hedong and raised an army to proclaim himself emperor. Then Yang Yong proclaimed himself emperor in Taiyuan. The emperor's grandson Yang Lin led an army of 200,000 troops to Mayi. At that time, countless people were lamenting that the prosperous era of Kaihuang was over and the chaos had begun. Perhaps the land of China, which had just been unified in the Central Plains, would fall into the Three Kingdoms Rebellion or the dispute between the North and the South. At that time, no one would have thought that this sudden rebellion would end in just three months. At that time, not many people would have thought that the end of the rebellion would be Yang Lin.

On the first day of August, Yi Feng's troops entered Chang'an.

Yang Suzai, He Ruobi and Shi Wansui welcomed him personally.

Yi Feng rode a white horse five-foot horse, wearing golden armor, jade swords, and python dragons woven golden cloak. Even the white horse under his sling was wearing a vest embroidered with a white tiger. In front of him, Qin Qiong on the left and the two generals of the Northern Yamen personally pioneered the way. Beside Yi Feng were brave corpses who made outstanding military achievements in the Northern War against Rebellion, a total of 360 brave corpses. They won the glory of defending the crown prince to enter Daxing City. Behind Yi Feng were Yang Jun, Guo Yan, Duan Da, Zhang Heng, Yuwen Shu, Feng Ang, Feng Xuan, Changsun Hong, Changsun Kan, Dou Kang, Yuan Heng, Liang Gang and other surrendered generals.

The people of Guanzhong were empty and went out of the city to welcome the crown prince into the city. Although Emperor Yang Yong was also in the team, everyone seemed to have chosen to forget Yang Yong.

Outside Daxing City, Yi Feng held a grand military parade, allowing the people of Guanzhong to witness the elite soldiers who pacified Yang Xiu and Yang Guang's rebellion in March. The shiny mirror armor, fierce cavalry, chariots, longbows, unified red battle robes, neat and orderly queues, the steady and powerful steps, and the flying flags all made the people of Guanzhong sigh. No wonder the prince was able to quell the rebellion in March. It turned out that he had such an extremely powerful army, and even a large number of Turkic cavalry, who actually served the prince.

After the review ceremony, Yi Feng brought the Northern Ya Imperial Army into Daxing City. Although Yang Su and Shi Wansui, He Ruobi arrived at the capital early, he did not garrison the city. He was only stationed in the outskirts of the capital and sent only a few troops into the city to maintain order. Now that Yi Feng arrived, the defenses in and outside the city were naturally handed over to the Northern Ya Imperial Army. Yang Su, He Ruobi and others handed over the military power to the imperial court.

After entering the city, Yi Feng went straight to Daxing Palace. Yang Xiu's wife and children in the palace were driven out of the palace and placed in Shaofu Temple.

Li Liyi and Xiao Sumei arrived to greet her.

Both of them were very good. Although Yang Xiu killed the throne, he did not do anything to her. Maybe it was because Li Liyi was the daughter of Yang Xiu's sister, maybe she kept them as a bargaining chip to deal with Yi Feng.

"Go to see the Empress Dowager first." Yi Feng was very happy to see the two of them. However, he still proposed to see the Empress Dowager first. "Is the Empress Dowager okay?"

"Since Emperor Gaozu passed away, the Empress Dowager has been ill. He heard that His Highness had quelled the rebellion, and the Empress Dowager was very happy. He originally said that he wanted to go out of the palace to greet you in person. But he felt a little uncomfortable when he woke up in the morning." Li Liyi said.

The Empress Dowager was happy and there was a ghost. Yi Feng thought to himself that this civil strife could be said to be a tragedy of the royal family. The husband who had been with him for decades was killed by his son, which was hard to accept. Moreover, the sons fought with each other again. Now the emperor's grandson Yang Lin quelled the rebellion, but the price was that the eldest son Yang Yong was seized by his grandson, and the second son was killed by his subordinates. The fourth son was defeated and committed suicide by taking poison. After her husband died, two of his five sons died. Under these consecutive blows, the already old Queen Dugu was even more ill. Even if Yang Lin quelled the rebellion, Queen Dugu would never be happy.

In the Lizheng Hall, Yi Feng and Li Liyi met with Dugu.

Dugu was lying on the couch, looking extremely thin, with no eyes, and no trace of the original appearance of being a mother in the world, full of wisdom. It is hard to imagine that the woman in front of him who was exhausted would be the legendary woman who was known as the two saints as Emperor Wen. In the era of Emperor Wen, she was truly half of the sky who could be the one who could even influence the emperor more than the prime minister. During the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, she made great contributions. She was once extremely proud,

As the Supreme Emperor of Nine Five, he loved her only one woman and married her. She was even more proud of her. The emperor had only five sons with her, and he would definitely be willing to avoid the tragedy of flesh and blood fighting in the future. But things were impermanent and the emperor was old, but he also favored Yuchi on her back, forcing her to finally give up the oaths of the two and even chose beautiful concubines for him. However, what was even more heartbreaking was that her five sons were her own, which eventually led to such a tragic human tragedy.

"It's Sumeru, you're back." Dugu was supported by the palace servant and sat up. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yi Feng, with a dazed look in his eyes. She stretched out her hand and touched Yi Feng's face.

"Grandmother, grandson is late."

"Why didn't your father come?" asked Empress Dowager Dugu.

"Your Majesty is not patient with the fatigue of the boat and the car. He is temporarily unwell and dares not come to see the Queen Mother immediately to avoid contagion." Yi Feng replied.

"Water." The Empress Dowager said, Yi Feng took the water from the palace maid and personally helped Dugu to feed her water. After drinking the water, Dugu became a little more energetic. She stared at Yang Lin, sighed, and said, "I don't want to say more about the past. You have made contributions to quelling the rebellion and stabilized the country and the Sui Dynasty. Your Majesty made you the grandson, which was precisely because of your extraordinaryness. Alas, I know that the divine devil is not a wise person, and I also know that you have some estrangement from him. Even I have heard of that rumor."

Yi Feng doesn't know how to answer.

"Actually, you don't have to be nervous. What's the matter now? But I only have three sons left, and I hope you can protect them."

"Grandson will do it."

"I won't go around with you. The old lady will just talk about it today. Choose a good day and let Jiandi Ze abdicate you. You can also keep him safe and prosperous in the next life. Seeing that the Zhendi Ze has no ability, you will not be able to keep him. There is also the King of Qin. He is your uncle, but this time this time, you can't stay in Beijing anymore. You can choose a country for him, and a country for him to be granted a vassal. In addition, Ake, he has done many things that have done to you, but now that he is already in Nanyue, you can let him go. Can you promise these things to the old lady?"

Yi Feng looked at her in surprise, but he didn't expect that she could say such words at this time. But it felt normal to think about it. Yang Jian, Yang Guang and Yang Xiu were all dead. Yang Liang was in Nanyue, and Yang Yong and Yang Jun were left. No matter what, Yang Lin was now in power. Moreover, Yang Lin was Yang Guang's son. If she didn't say anything, Yang Yong's son might have died suddenly. Anyway, Yang Lin was also her grandson. Whether it was Yang Guang's son or Yang Yong's son, letting him inherit this dynasty was the best choice. There was no other choice.

"Your brothers are also enfeoffed to the southwest. There is no need to be a great country. It is enough to have a place to fall." Dugu said again.

Yi Feng nodded and agreed. Yang Guang, Yang Xiu, and Yang Yong's sons were all his brothers, and their surname was Yang. He could not kill them all. Moreover, Yi Feng didn't feel that there was a need. He just wrote a feudal edict. They all got the southwest to establish a vassal state, and there was no possibility of making a comeback or causing any trouble for the court. Leave them behind. They could also have a good reputation and win more hearts from the world.

"The grandsons are all based on the emperor's grandmother."

"Okay, that's all the old lady wants to say, and there's nothing else to say. I hope you can inherit the throne earlier so that the old lady can see that day too. In that case, when I go to see Emperor Gaozu, I can also tell him the good news. Let him know that the Sui Dynasty did not decline because of this, but will be stronger in your hands. Go back, go back with Wu Chou'er, you must have a lot to say, so don't continue to bother me, the old lady here."

Yi Feng insisted on sitting for a while, and after Empress Dowager Dugu fell asleep, she got up and left Lizheng Hall.

After leaving the Lizheng Hall, Yi Feng went to Ganlu Hall. This was the emperor's bedroom, but Yang Yong did not arrange it here, and Yi Feng was not polite and moved into Ganlu Hall directly. At this time, Yi Feng had the opportunity to have a good chat with Li Liyi. Li Liyi was more than seven months pregnant, while Xiao Sumei was pregnant for a longer time, and both of them were wearing big belly.

"Thank you for your hard work during this period, and I have sent someone to pick you up, but unfortunately Yang Xiu placed you directly in the palace and had no chance at all."

"Apart from the frequent worries about Your Highness, I am very good."

Xiao Sumei also said on the side, "During this period, I and my sister have been worried about Your Highness. Finally, God blesses you. Everything is fine. Your Highness has quelled the rebellion in March. It's great."

"Yes, when I sent troops south, I never thought that this turmoil would be suppressed so quickly." Yi Feng sat between the two, bowing his head and leaning over Li Liyi's belly and listening to Xiao Sumei's belly. The two were more than seven months pregnant, and they could clearly feel the fetal movement, and occasionally they could feel the fetus stretched out their legs in the belly and kicked him.

"Your Highness, now that the rebellion has been quelled, should we take the sisters of Huaihuang into the capital?"

Yi Feng thought for a while and said, "I plan to go back to Luoyang in a while."

"Return to Luoyang? Haven't the rebellion been quelled? Now that your highness is in the capital, why do you still have to go to Luoyang?"

"Luoyang is the center of the world. The Great Sui Dynasty unified the north and south, and it will expand its territory in the future, which will only expand its territory. Chang'an will have many inconveniences as the capital, it will be difficult to coordinate the overall situation, and there will be many restrictions. Now moving the capital to Luoyang will have many benefits in the long-term development." Yi Feng explained a few simple words. The establishment of Luoyang was not just a stopgap solution when he was outside the pass, but was carefully considered.

When I woke up the next morning, Yi Fengshen was refreshed and hadn't slept so hard for a long time.

Liu Wenjing and Li Mi entered the palace to accompany him.

"Your Highness seems to have something to worry about?" Liu Wenjing asked hurriedly when she saw Yi Feng seemingly absent-minded.

Yi Feng looked at him, then looked into the distance, and said, "I went to Lizheng Hall to visit the Empress Dowager yesterday. Do you know what the Empress Dowager said to me?"

"I guess, is it because the Empress Dowager wants the emperor to abdicate to Your Highness?" Liu Wenjing said.

Yi Feng smiled, "You can really guess everything."

Liu Wenjing was happy: "If this is true, this is a great thing. Why is Your Highness unhappy?"

"I'm not unhappy. You know I'm not the kind of person who is sensible. What I'm thinking about is other things. The rebellion has been quelled at the moment, but it doesn't mean we can rest assured. It's not easy to govern such a large empire."

"Empire?" Li Mi asked.

"The territory is extremely vast, and it also ruled and dominated many ethnic groups and had great influence. The Great Sui Dynasty not only had to restore the old land of the Han people in China, but also ruled the Hu Di Rongyi in all directions, dominated the vassal states of the four borders, conveyed our Chinese civilization to the world, became the superior country of the Celestial Kingdom, and let the four borders come to pay tribute. This is the Great Sui Empire." Yi Feng explained.

"It's great to say that the Celestial Kingdom is coming to the court from all directions." Liu Wenjing praised.

"But we still have too many ways to go to do this."

"Then let's go step by step. With Your Highness leading us, there will definitely be a day when all directions come to pay our respects."

Yi Feng smiled, "Then you can choose a day for me first."

"Is it auspicious day for abdication?" Liu Wenjing asked excitedly.

"Well. This matter will be settled sooner."

"Your Highness, why don't you..." Liu Wenjing couldn't say anything, but Yi Feng immediately guessed what he wanted to say and shook his head, "There is no need."

"I understand."

Yi Feng nodded, there were some things that should be done, but if there was no threat, there was no need to do it. Yang Yong would never be a threat to him, but Gao Feng, Yang Su, Shi Wansui, He Ruobi and other important officials in the Kaihuang made Yi Feng feel a little threatened.

"Master, I have an important task to you." Yi Feng called Li Mi over, "Now the rebellion has been settled, Gao Jin, Yang Su, He Ruobi, and Shi Wansui are still holding a heavy army. Although they have handed over the military talismans to the Privy Council, these soldiers are still stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and we have to make a resettlement plan as soon as possible. You should take people to count the situation of each army and make a detailed report. At that time, we should disband and return to our hometown on the spot, or re-enter the three yamen sequence, and then discuss it."

"Yes." Li Mi nodded and took on the task.

Liu Wenjing asked Yi Feng, "What will Your Highness plan to arrange for Yang Su, Shi Wansui, Changsun Hong, Yuwen Shu and others?"
