The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the cicadas on the trees kept calling. The corridor of Wude Hall was deserted and there was no one in the palace servants. ←Cicadas kept calling, but no one went to catch cicadas. In the lotus pond, the water was as clear as blue jade, and the ripples spread in circles. Emperor Yang Yong leaned against Yun and looked at the deserted palace in the slumber. A wave of heat rushed over, making him feel hot all over his body. Yun Dingxing came over and gently fanned Yang Yong, while handing a cup of iced bayberry soup to him.

"The world is so cool!" Yang Yong took a few mouthfuls of iced bayberry soup before he felt a little more comfortable. He stared at the koi in the pond and asked, "Duke Langya, where is my loyal minister?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, all the court is your Majesty's loyal ministers."

"Fuck!" Yang Yong couldn't help but swear, "The whole court is full of Yang Lin's lackeys."

"Your Majesty is careful. Now, what's the point of saying those words?" Yun Dingxing persuaded, "Actually, from the other side, the situation is not bad now. After all, compared with King Jin, King Han, and King Shu, Your Majesty can at least be safeguarded. At this point, don't think about those impossible things anymore. If the prince wants to take over the throne, then pass it on to him. If Your Majesty makes him happy, he will naturally let His Majesty be happy in the future."

"I...I...Oh." Yang Yong sighed, picked up the bayberry soup and took a big sip. "I always feel so panicked."

"Under the eaves, I have to bow my head." Yun Dingxing tried hard to persuade, "Your Majesty, Yang Lin is well-versed. Now he has reorganized the troops in the capital, and has drawn 200,000 elite troops from various departments to select his Northern Ya Imperial Guards and 300,000 troops. Now, 700,000 troops in the capital, 300,000 troops have been removed from the army. The remaining 400,000 people belong to the Five Guards and Ten Army of the Northern Ya. Not to mention the palace, outside the capital, inside and outside the capital, all the troops and horses are under the control of Yang Lin. Moreover, Gao Jin, Liu Shu, He Ruobi, Shi Wansui and others who supported His Majesty in the past are now standing on Yang Lin's side."

"I am a nameless emperor, and I can't even do this nameless emperor. The only thing I can give you is this Duke of Langya County."

"The prince must also be concerned about public opinion in the world. Even if Your Majesty abdicates, he will treat Your Majesty well. Besides, the prince is very good at handling political affairs, which is indeed a great blessing for Your Majesty and a great blessing for the Sui Dynasty." Yun Dingxing bowed. As the father of the emperor's favorite concubine, a once lowly craftsman can reach this point today. Of course, he shares honor and disgrace with the emperor, but now the emperor's arm cannot resist the prince's thighs, so he can only recognize the times and be a hero. Originally, these words were not his turn. But for the sake of the future, he could only come here to go.

"Do you think he is good?" Yang Yong glanced at Yun Dingxing, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he turned his eyes to the koi in the pond. He now felt that he was like this koi, looking bright and free. He was waiting for someone to eat on time. But in fact, he was just trapped in this small pond. He became a decoration and an ornamental toy for others. He sighed, "Did Yang Lincoln let my ten sons go?"

"The prince said that after he was in the end, he would build a country in southern Xinjiang and pave the way for the country."

"Can't they be allowed to stay in the capital?"

Yun Dingxing shook his head.

Yun couldn't help but say, "Father, King Changning, King Pingyuan, and King Ancheng are all your nephews."

"Of course I know, and I understand your Majesty and you, but if you force them to stay in Beijing, it is just a way to cause disaster. It is better to be a prince of the feudal southern border. Although it is far away from the Central Plains, as long as you are at ease in the country and abide by the laws, you can maintain peace and wealth for a lifetime."

"Stop it! Let's just follow him, Gao Feng, Yang Su, are you here?"

"Awaiting for summons outside."

"Let's meet them in the hall, I'll be here sooner or later." Yang Yongyi was relieved.

When Yang Yong returned to the hall and sat down, Gao Yong and Yang Su came hurriedly. Yang Yong asked someone to bring the imperial wine to pour wine for the two prime ministers. When the wine was poured, Yang Yong had a big drink first.

Gao Yang was in a very complicated mood when he saw Yang Yong like this. He supported the prince for more than ten years and the two families married twice. Originally, their relationship was irreplaceable, but in the end, he abandoned him. Although he never regretted this decision, and he was even now grateful for his decisiveness. However, facing the haggard Yang Yong, he still felt a little guilty, and was silent for a moment, and drank a few glasses of wine.

"What's wrong with the Grand Master coming?" Yang Yong asked knowingly.

Gao Yang kowtowed on the ground, raised his head and said in a complicated manner: "I am the leader of all officials. Now I am here with the Left Master. I respectfully ask Your Majesty to pass the throne as soon as possible."

"Hasn't I agreed to abdicate?"

"Your Majesty must also write the edict in person."

"Come on paper and pen, I will write it for him." When the paper and pen were delivered, Yang Yong wrote the edict on the spot to seal the throne and then stamped his own seal.

Gao Yang took the edict, read it carefully twice, and put it away with satisfaction. "Your Majesty is wise, you can pass the throne as soon as possible, and you can be quiet as soon as possible, so that you can enjoy your wealth and honor."

The king and his ministers drank a few more glasses of wine. Gao Feng said goodbye and stood up. Gao Feng said to Yang Yong, "The ministers and others are coming tomorrow, and you will have to work hard at that time."

"The edict has been written, what else can I do? Let's just talk about it together today."

Yang Su said on the side, "In the past, Jin Wen received a book, and the orders of the three words were followed. Therefore, the letter was given to the end of the Han Dynasty, and the three words were used as the decision. The three words were not allowed, and then they were accepted."

Yang Su talked about the customs of all dynasties. Whether it is voluntary abdication or usurping the throne and seizing power, those who receive Zen must say three words and finally accept it. Not only is abdication, but the founding emperors of each dynasty also need three words to reach the extreme. The three words are not accepted, to show humility and to eliminate slander from the world.

Yang Yong couldn't help laughing. Everyone in the world didn't know how eager Yang Lin wanted to be the emperor. After a shot, he still had to make a move and say something that would be a three-word sentence but the edict was not allowed and then accept it. It was really... Yang Yong's tears came out of laughter, and it took a long time to stop. Gripping his teeth, "Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow, and there's still the day after tomorrow. Don't worry, the prince is humble and refuses to accept the edict, but I will not allow it until he agrees."

Yang Su smiled. Although Yang Yong was unhappy, he still understood the truth. However, even if Yang Yong refused to cooperate now, it didn't matter much, but it would be a bit ugly if that happened.

When Yang Yong's official edict was issued, Yi Feng refused to accept the resignation. In fact, Yi Feng was unwilling to make such a three-word speech, but his subordinates insisted on following this process, and they were eventually casual. Yi Feng refused to accept the resignation. Gao Feng and Yang Su went to Wude Hall again. Yang Yong issued an edict again to refuse Yi Feng and asked him to succeed to the throne. Then Yi Feng refused to accept it again. Then Yang Yong issued an edict again to pass the throne. In this way, Yi Feng finally ordered three etiquettes according to the etiquette but refused to allow it, and finally accepted it.

The abdication was finally confirmed, but the preparations for the throne ceremony had already been in an orderly manner. Yi Feng kept saying aloud and spoke earnestly, while Yang Yong repeatedly issued an edict to refuse. When the two sides carried out this tacit "humility" game, the preparations for the throne had been almost done. The ceremony date was originally scheduled for August 6, but it was finally decided to postpone it to August 8, which is a more auspicious day. The place for ascending the throne had been chosen and was held in Daxing Hall. Some people opposed that the emperor was abdicating now, so the Daxing Hall, which should not be occupied. There was a proposal to be held in Liangyi Hall, but this proposal was rejected. Yang Su even took the opportunity to propose that after the prince ascended the throne, he would build another palace for the Emperor to the north of the palace city to provide the Emperor's residence. This proposal was quickly supported by everyone and finally settled.

At this time, a close servant walked in and whispered to Yi Feng, "General Li Jing sent a military report about western Liaoning."

"Oh?" Wei Chong, the general manager of Yingzhou, led Goguryeo across the Liaohe River and responded to Yang Guang. At that time, Yi Feng did not want to start a war several times, so he finally decided to be safe. He sent Li Jing to Yuguan in Pingzhou, commanded troops to defend Yuguan, and defended Goguryeo to attack Youyan. At that time, Yi Feng's order to Li Jing was to stick to Yuguan, Lu Long blocked the front line, and not to fight lightly. After quelling the pass, he would come to deal with Goguryeo. Now that Guanzhong has been settled, the world's rebellion has been quelled, Yi Feng has also asked the Privy Council to start discussing the matter of sending troops to western Liaoning. However, the specific one has not been discussed yet, Li Jing came to report. Yi Feng felt strange. Is there another change in the northeast? He opened the report and read it carefully. What Li Jing reported was indeed

An important military situation. Li Jing was ordered to guard Yuguan, but he had not left the pass according to the order. The Goguryeo sent his troops to the pass to provoke him several times, but Li Jing ignored it. Seeing that there was no chance, the Goguryeo retreated back to Yingzhou. Then, not long after, the news of Yang Guang being killed by his subordinates spread to western Liaoning. Li Jing took the opportunity to send envoys to secretly meet Wei Chong, preparing to surrender Wei Chong. Seeing that Yang Guang was dead, and the situation in the Central Plains was clear, Wei Chong finally decided to surrender to the court and surrender to Li Jing. However, this matter was not kept secret, and was finally discovered by Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan discovered that Wei Chong was going to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, and planned to join forces with Li Jing to cheat the Goguryeo army, Gao Yuan took the initiative to take action.

He suddenly attacked and entered Yingzhou, raided the troops of Yingzhou, then killed Wei Chong, took the opportunity to occupy Yingzhou, and then quickly occupied the entire western Liaoning.

When Li Jing received the news, Gao Yuan's troops had already occupied Liaoxi. Li Jing did not dare to send troops rashly at this time, so he immediately reported to the court and requested the court's decision.

After reading this report, Yi Feng frowned, but was not too surprised. When Wei Chong led Gao Yuan to lead his troops across the Liao River, he had already thought of this ending. Wei Chong had only a few thousand soldiers in Yingzhou, but he led Gao Yuan to 80,000 soldiers into the country. What is this not to lead a wolf into the house? But he had no time to send troops to western Liaoning at that time. Gao Yuan waited until Wei Chong wanted to sell him before turning against him, which was a bit beyond his expectations.
