Chapter 694: The world is shocked
During the Jiangdu Palace, Yang Guang was killed by Yu Wenhua and others, and supported Yang Hao as the emperor, giving Yang Guang his posthumous title Yang, who was Emperor Yang of Sui.
The news spread, and all the princes, rebel kings and heroes from all over the country were shocked.
Although everyone knows that the Sui Dynasty is in name only and is about to be destroyed, as long as Yang Guang lives for one day, his remaining power is still there, and the Sui court will survive and not truly perish. Many counties still have stubborn soldiers, county magistrates, and prefects, insisting that he is a minister of the Sui Dynasty.
Because the Sui Dynasty was glorious, although the rivers suddenly became turbulent and riddled with holes, many loyal and patriotic people would not betrayal, and would still be foolish and loyal to the court in the turmoil.
These people heard that the emperor was betrayed and killed by Yu Wen and others, and all cried with compassion and cried, cursing Yu Wen and this traitor and treacherous minister who violated the crime.

Luoyang City.
When Yang Tong learned that the emperor's grandfather was killed, he cried bitterly in the court. Many ministers cried loudly to commemorate His Majesty.
Most people cry with the wind, and the more they cry, the more they prove their loyalty and sincerity.
Some people were worried that once Yang Guang died, the Sui Dynasty could not hold on. Luoyang Duwagang Army surrounded him without foreign aid and could not hold on for long. They felt confused and shed tears for their destiny.
Only a few old ministers were truly sad, and they were a little paranoid in their loyalty to the emperor. They strictly abide by the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers, mourning Yang Guang and regretting the Sui Dynasty.
When Wang Shichong learned about Yang Guang's death, he was ecstatic. He was no longer afraid of Jiangdu and felt that the time for his annexation of Luoyang was almost ripe, so he hurried back to the city from the military camp outside the city, wearing armor, came outside the hall, and entered crying, demonstrating his loyalty.
"It is heartbreaking that Your Majesty was killed by the rebels like this. I, Wang Shichong, swear that I will kill Yu Wenji in this life and avenge the late emperor!"
Wang Shichong's statement immediately attracted the support of the ministers, and they all wanted to destroy Yu Wen and his rebel forces to apologize.
Yang Tong didn't know how to lead troops, and his military power was gradually occupied by Wang Shichong. At this time, when he heard the news of Yang Guang's death, he was in power and agreed to Wang Shichong's suggestion.
Wang Shichong actively said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. It is better to use force to become the emperor in the near future. We will reopen the court and suppress the rebellion!"
The ministers agreed that if they did not ascend the throne, they would be afraid that the morale of the army would be disintegrated and they would no longer serve the Luoyang court.

Daxing City.
After Li Yuan learned about Yang Guang's murder, he was also very happy. Once this difficult Emperor Jiangdu died, he would not need Yang You to get in the way.
Li Yuan summoned many advisers to discuss the destruction and establishment of the people. The ministers left behind in the court all believed that the Sui Dynasty was beyond help. Once Yang Guang died, if the Sui Dynasty died, there was no need to use the emperor to order the princes to get rid of the words. It would be better to change the dynasty directly.
So Li Yuan sent someone to lobby Yang You. Rather than persuading him, it was better to coerce him and force him to abdicate.
The abdication system was a way for the Chinese rulers to change in ancient times, which meant that the reign of the ruler gave the ruler to others during his lifetime. It first occurred in the system of democratic election of tribal alliances in primitive society, which was recorded in the Book of Documents, but its authenticity has always been controversial.
Later, the dynasty in China changed, and some were also called abdication, but they were all beautified and the reality of seizing power.
In fact, modern scholars and historians have done a meticulous and carefully proposed that the earliest abdication between Yao, Shun and Yu is also a forged history.
There is no real abdication in the long river of history. It is just a ceremony for future generations to beautify sages. Generally, the previous ruler is old and the power has been firmly controlled by the next heir, and he has to give in too much.
Human nature is selfish. Who doesn’t want to over-giving power to their children and extending their interests in their own factional groups?
The strategists who stayed in Daxing City, Dou Xian, Yu Yun, Liu Chongli and others, offered advice to Li Yuan, imitating Yang Jian, and asked Yang You to abdicate. Then Li Yuan became the emperor himself, established the Tang Dynasty, and changed the capital to Chang'an.
Li Yuan happily adopted it and sent the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of Rites, the Taichangqing and others to handle it in a hurry, just waiting for the good day to sacrifice to heaven and abdicate.

Jincheng.
The Young Marshal's Mansion, the White Tiger Hall.
Luo Zhaoyun was not surprised at all after learning the news. He had expected it. He even played a role in fueling the fire, prompting the palace revolution to advance a year because of the entire historical progress and his influence.
Luo Zhaoyun, who is now 27 or 28 years old, has a little short beard, calm and capable, sitting upright, and has a majesty.
After learning the news, the civil servants and generals in the hall were shocked. They all thought that Emperor Yang of Sui would live at least a few years, but they would never have been killed by Yu Wenhua and so soon.
"Your Majesty has passed away, I am ashamed of my old man--" Qu Tutong was the first to cry out, venting the depression in his chest.
Since there are all young people in the hall who have not been promoted or valued by Yang Guang, they only have dislikes and no good feelings for him, so they are not sad at all. On the contrary, they are a little gloating and secretly glad that they are secretly grateful because the young marshal once vowed that as long as Yang Guang is the emperor in Jiangdu for one day, he will not have any unfair intentions, nor will he proclaim himself king.
But now, just half a year after the vow, Yang Guang was killed. Is it a sign of destiny?
Changsun Wuji took the lead in speaking: "Young Marshal, Your Majesty has passed away, and the princes from all over the country will definitely proclaim themselves emperors. The Young Marshal must also make decisions as soon as possible, name the country, establish a new regime, and stabilize the situation in the northwest."
Zhu Suiliang followed and said, "What Changsun Changshi said is very true. Your Majesty passed away and there was no leader. Those princes were young and did not change their affairs. The kingdom was suspicious and could not save the Sui Dynasty. At this time, I want to protect myself in the northwest and must break free from the constraints of the Sui court and seek independence."
Hou Junji said: "The opportunity must not be missed. No time will come again. Please make a quick decision and make a decision as soon as possible!"
At this time, Yu Zhining, Su Jun, Changsun Anshi, Wei Yijie, Guo Xiaoke and others all advised him.
This is a great opportunity. They knew very well that as long as the young marshal proclaimed himself emperor in the northwest, he would decide to achieve great things with the soldiers and people here. They would become founding heroes in the future. This temptation is too great.
