Chapter four hundred and twentieth

The eastern capital Luoyang.                                                            �

The high walls and iron gates are strong and thick, the city tower is magnificent and majestic, and the monumentality is spectacular. The painted walls and carved beams are extremely exquisite, but in the attack of the rebels, there have been scars and gaps, destroying the beauty.

After more than ten days of hard work, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui finally arrived at the capital of the East Capital today.

Yang Tong led the left-behind officials out of the city to greet them. Li Hun, Dugu Ji, Yuan Wendu, Dugu Sheng, Dudu, Dugu Sheng, Duanda, Li Min, Guo Wenyi, Zhao Changwen, Yu Chu, Su Kui and other officials were all in this ranks, with seventy or eighty people. During this period, these second-line officials assisted the King of Yue.

Most of the front-line officials, the powerful and powerful in the court, followed Yang Guangyu's command in person. It can be said that in Luoyang City, there are mostly some old, weak, sick and disabled, or idle officials who are not valued. This time, they have made contributions to defending Luoyang, and will definitely be rewarded afterwards, and their official career will be prosperous from then on.

"I welcome Your Majesty, long live long live long live long!" All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground to worship.

"Grandpa Emperor!" Yang Tong was only ten years old. When he saw Yang Guang return, he felt a lot of feelings and couldn't help crying.

Yang Guang also felt a little emotional. He was in a very dangerous situation and the throne was difficult to protect. Fortunately, Luoyang was stable and settled the rebels' attack and said, "Yang Tong, you did a good job and saved Luoyang for me. He made great contributions and finally grew up. Don't cry. My Yang family's country will never be taken away by these traitors."

"The grandson is not worried about the death of the city, but is afraid that he will not be able to see His Majesty again and respect the emperor's grandfather." Yang Tong said sincerely.

"Good emperor grandson!" Yang Guang felt a little moved by his filial piety.

"Grandpa Imperial work hard all the way, working hard for the country. Please enter the imperial city and settle down the dragon body as soon as possible!" Yang Tong was just a child, but with the assistance of some old scholars in the classics, he knew a lot of etiquette.

Yang Guang led civil and military officials into Dingding Gate, walked across the spacious Dingding Street, crossed Tianjin Bridge, and came outside the palace city.

At this time, Empress Xiao led the concubines, princesses and palace maids to welcome the emperor outside the palace gate.

"Welcome Your Majesty to the court, long live my emperor." Empress Xiao took the lead in bowing and bowing, and many concubines were wiped away their tears, obviously for a long time.

Yang Guang walked out of the emperor's carriage and pulled Queen Xiao up. This time he was shocked and made Yang Guang feel a lot of emotion and gritted his teeth at the betrayer.

"I'm back." After Yang Guang said that, he joined hands with Empress Xiao into the palace and ordered the ministers to go to Daye Hall to wait for the meeting. He wanted to go back to the palace to take a shower and change his clothes first.

Most of the hour later, Yang Guang was in charge of the affairs of Daye Hall, and the first sentence was to ask the whereabouts of the rebel Yang Xuangan.

Dugu Ji took the lead in answering: "Your Majesty, Yang Xuangan's body has been escorted to the Dongdu. Yang Jishan, the remaining party of the Yang family, was captured alive, Yang Xuanting, Yang Xuanzhuo, and Yang Wanshuo were all killed in battle. There is also Yang Minxing who served as a court in Chang'an City to hire a doctor. Although he did not directly participate, he must have known about this and has been detained."

"It's great!" Yang Guang's eyes were ruthless and he said, "First hang Yang Xuangan's body at the Dongdu Gate for three days to be displayed on the public, then shattered into pieces, then burned into ashes, sprinkled into mountains and fields, and no burial is allowed!"

If the bones were crushed and ashes were raised, the ancients in the Central Plains would not be activated, and the corpses were treated like this.

Yang Guang became more and more angry as he thought about it. He could have conquered Pyongyang City, but because Yang Xuangan stabbed the knife in the back and led the nobles to rebel, causing him to fail to achieve great achievements and lose hundreds of thousands of troops, and encouraged many people to rebel. The crime was extremely serious. The main culprit died like this, which was a bit cheaper.

"Execute Yang Jishan to death. Each of the civil and military officials above the ninth rank and above will be cut by a knife to see how long he can stand. In addition, Dali Temple, Ministry of Justice, Censorate and others jointly investigated the remaining parties and punished the Yang family with nine clans. Anyone involved in the rebellion will be killed. In the Liyang area, all the unlucky people and their families who participated in the rebellion will be killed." Yang Guang issued a killing order, and the court was shuddered.

After this severe imperial order was issued, the people involved in Luoyang City first increased from thousands to 30,000. All the Yang family killed them. The Yang family was fine. The Yang family members in Hongnong were all killed. All the Yang Su tribes within the five regiments were killed. The Yang family suffered a huge blow and were removed from the list from then on.

The court also involved Zhao Yuanshu, the Guanglu doctor, Hu Sizheng, the Minister of War, General Zhou Zhong, the son of Zhou Luohu, Yang Gongdao, the son of Yang Xiong, Han Qinhu's son Han Shiyan, Shi Wansui's son Shi Huaiyi and others were all wanted or beheaded, the family business in Luoyang and Chang'an City was confiscated, and all the family members were sent to death prisons.

Yu Shiji, Pei Yun, and Lai Hu'er's son also participated. Yang Guang sold face to these loyal ministers. He did not touch the family and only sentenced these three sons who participated in the rebellion to death.

All those who were not arrested were offered rewards. The court sent Wuhou guards to Beijing for searching, and the local government offices also posted wanted documents to cooperate with the arrest.

After Yang Guang finished these, some people promoted Qu Tutong, Yang Yichen, Chen Yu, Lai Huer and others to be promoted to generals. They used to be generals and promoted to generals. They were promoted to generals before. They were promoted to generals and were rewarded with a lot of gold and wealth. Dugu Ji, Duan Da, Yuan Wendu, Li Hun and others who were left behind also made meritorious contributions this time and were promoted to one post or one title.

At the same time, Su Wei and his son were sent to Guanzhong to appease the people in Chang'an, and mobilized Li Yuan to Honghua County, and also in charge of military affairs of Guanyou to guard against turmoil in the northwest of the Guanxiong.

"Your Majesty, it is a joy to quell Yang Xuangan's rebellion and restore the world to stability. However, in some areas, bandits and bandits are rampant, fighting families and looting granaries, and troops are also needed to clean up and encircle and suppress them to prevent them from becoming bigger, and there will be endless troubles!" At this time, Pei Ju proposed.

Fan Zigai, Wei Wensheng, Li Jing and others all agreed with this statement.

Yang Guang agreed to assign some generals to the county magistrates or general managers of the counties to be responsible for clearing out bandits. Qu Tutong, Yu Yuluo, Zhang Xutuo, Chen Xugui and others were all arranged for new tasks of quelling the rebellion.

At this moment, Yu Shiji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to use people. Although Yuwen Shu, Wang Rengong, Wei Xuan and other generals underestimated the enemy and were defeated in Liaodong, there was no undefeated general in the world. Therefore, I dared to plead for mercy and re-forgive the guilt of these generals, restore the responsibilities of the generals, and sent them to the local area to make meritorious contributions. If there is any further failure, it will not be too late to deal with it."

Yu Chengdu stood up and said, "I have a comment. My father-in-law, Yu Wen Shu, is diligent and loyal to the emperor. Please forgive your guilt and give you the generals a chance to make meritorious contributions."

Yang Guang frowned, silent, as if he was also considering it.

Feng Deyi, Dugu Sheng, Yuan Wen and more ministers stood up to plead, and Luo Zhaoyun was not here, so no one explicitly blocked and refuted, which made Yang Guang finally let go.

"Then I will pardon Yuwen Shu, Wei Xuan, Wang Rengong and others. I will not grant titles for the time being, but only give them one official position, and make meritorious service with guilt."

"Thank you for your kindness!" Yu Chengdu was overjoyed and finally rescued his father-in-law.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yu Shiji and others stood up and achieved their goal.

Pei Yun frowned, not expecting Yuwen Shu to be restored to his post so soon, because now Yang Valve has been eradicated, and the first four Valves also include Yuwen Valve, Li Valve, and Pei Valve. If Yuwen Shu is suppressed, Yuwen Valve lacks the backbone, and Pei Valve led by Pei Yun can lean forward and gain more benefits.

Yu Shiji, Feng Deyi and others have a close relationship with Yuwen Shu. With the help of the Yuwen clan, they can do many things and belong to the same camp, so they take the opportunity to rescue them.

The other ministers did not want to get involved, so they remained silent.
