Luoyang City, Ziwei Palace, Yaoguang Palace.

Yang Gao, the eight-year-old emperor of the Great Sui, stood in front of a life-size bronze mirror in the dormitory, dressed under the service of the palace maids. However, at this time, the palace maids no longer wore the emperor's robe, but some purple silk robes, on which there were neither sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, nor five-clawed dragons. It was just the usual attire of a very ordinary aristocratic man.

The palace maids carefully dressed him, but Yang Gao was holding a plate of lychees in one hand and was happily eating. It seems that the plate in front of him, which was quickly transported from Lingnan to pay tribute, is much more important than his heavenly throne. The peeled lychees are smooth and white, and the water is smart, these lychees are all transported from Lingnan by Feng Wan's father, Feng An, and the lychees that came together were Feng Ang's seal of surrender sent to Chen Kefu, as well as an urgent letter for help. Nan Chen's army had completely captured Jianghan and Yuanxiang, and the speed and smoothness of things shocked all Lingnan people.

Nan Chen's army has already been deployed in Guiyang, and it will be able to send troops to Lingnan at any time. Lingnan was originally owned by Nan Chen, and later became independent. Now, although Nanchen has lost seven or eight counties in Huainan, he has won more than a dozen counties in Jianghan and Yuanxiang, and one has occupied the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, becoming the real hero of the south. The leaders of the Lingnan Feng family and the Baiyue Xian family, who were completely surrounded by Nan Chen, were all anxious all of a sudden. Originally, Feng Wan sent a letter back to Lingnan to send back the covenant she had signed with Chen Kefu, but Feng Ang was furious and said that he would never recognize this covenant. But in the blink of an eye, Lingnan has been overwhelmed by the army. Feng Ang had no choice but to send the table down immediately. Tributes and Requests for Help.

Feng An's letter for help, Chen Kefu threw it aside after reading it, and all the gold and silver treasures in the tributes that arrived with the letter were also put into the warehouse, but the remaining lychees suddenly became the favorite of the generals and officials of the Hebei Army in Luoyang City, as well as the people in the palace. This kind of lychee, which is usually rare, is indeed delicious.

Empress Xiao and Princess Nanyang both stood on one side, quietly watching Yang Gao happily eating lychees there. Empress Xiao sighed in her heart, although her son is smart, even if he disguises his disguise like this, does he think that Chen Kefu will really not be able to see it? It's still too young, it's just an eight-year-old kid. If he was eighteen, maybe there was some hope.

However, when I thought about it, when I was in Beijing, Yang Gao was only a little dropout of Pei Shiju and others, and he just had some ideas. Chen Kefu immediately raised his sword into the palace, and beheaded Pei Shiju with a sword in front of the young emperor, and Empress Xiao sighed in his heart Fortunately, this child was only eight years old, if he was eighteen years old, maybe on the way south, there would have been some accidents.

"Is Your Majesty ready to go?" Empress Xiao sighed lightly and said, being young is a blessing.

Hearing the sound, the young Imperial Palace's hand grabbing the lychee suddenly paused, and the intoxication on his face disappeared at once. Yang Gao said impatiently to the dressed palace maids: "Okay, okay." Go down, all of you, clumsy, and you won't be able to wear a single garment. I want the queen mother to dress me! ”

The palace maids saluted and bent down to retreat, and Yang Gao ripped off the robe on his body, threw it on the ground and stepped on it with his feet. While stepping on it, he shouted repeatedly: "I am the Son of Heaven, I should wear the crown of the Son of Heaven." What is this? I haven't abdicated yet, so Chen Pojun can't wait even for the next few days. ”

Empress Xiao stepped forward and bent down to pick up the purple robe, and slapped it a few times with her bare hands, "Your Majesty." As it has been, it is best to go with the flow. In fact, if it weren't for Chen Pojun, maybe you and my mother and son would have lost their lives more than a year ago. You can be the emperor for so long, even if you want to abdicate now, you can still keep a lifetime of wealth and peace in the future. Why not be satisfied? ”…,

Yang Gao looked up at Empress Xiao, his eyes full of worry and fear. Although the precocious little emperor was young, he understood these power struggles early and became more connected with the dynasty. Success and defeat are the same truth since ancient times.

"I abdicate, will I still have a life of wealth and peace in the future?"

Empress Xiao looked at her frightened son and couldn't help but step forward and hug the child. Although Yang Gao was not her own hands, this child can be regarded as something she raised from childhood to adulthood, and they were transferred from Yanmen to Liaodong together, and finally stayed in Beijing. The two of them are better together than their biological mother and son.

"Gao'er rest assured, Chen Pojun said to your imperial sister, he said that the Sui family destroyed the Chen Dynasty back then, but they did not slaughter the Chen royal family, but treated them kindly. Therefore, now Chen Kefu will rebuild the Chen Kingdom, so after you abdicate, you will still be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life. And except for you, all the royal family members of the Sui Dynasty, as long as they are willing to join the new dynasty, he will treat them well. You don't have to worry about that, there aren't many days left, as long as you do what you have to do, it's over. Although you can no longer be an emperor in the future, you don't have to carry this burden that doesn't belong to you anymore, you can be an ordinary person, and you don't have to worry about not being able to sleep every day. You will have your life, a carefree life. ”

"Okay." Yang Gao nodded. "But, why do you have to go to the Taiji Hall every day?"

"This is a rehearsal rehearsal, naturally to wait for the day of the ceremony, everything is fine. The day of the ceremony is not only the most solemn and memorable day for Chen Pojun, but also a memorable day for you. That is the perfect beginning of Chen Pojun's new dynasty, and it will also be the end of our Great Sui's peace. There is no sword light, and there is no sword shadow, that is, there is no raid, and there will be no extinction. ”

Yang Gao bit his lip and was silent for a while, although the little boy still had a trace of unwillingness in his heart, he felt that it was very reasonable to be taught by his mother. Even if he had any ideas, he didn't even have anyone around him who could be trusted and could help him.

"Queen Mother, I heard yesterday that the land of Jianghan of the imperial brother has been captured by the Southern Chen army. Not only that, but the imperial brother also suffered a big defeat in Shuzhong, and is currently trapped in Hanzhong, isolated and helpless. It is said that Nan Chenjun has joined forces with Yang Jun in Shu and Yu Wenhua in Guanzhong to deal with the imperial brother. I also heard that the emperor's uncle Yang Yichen had been defeated and killed, and that his uncle Xiao Yu and Xiao Mo had already led the three counties of Nanyang, Hongnong, and Shangluo to surrender to General Li Jing. ”

Empress Xiao's eyes were red, Yang Yun was her biological son, how could she not care. Although Yang Yin is too much worse than his brother Yang Zhaolai, this is also his own son anyway. While taking care of Yang Gao every day, she has also been paying attention to Yang Gao's situation. Yang Jin's situation was not bad before, although he did not take Hedong in the north, but he also occupied the entire Jingxiang Yuanxiang, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and had a place to stand.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, before she went south to Luoyang, she had already heard that Yang Jun couldn't get enough of the attack, and turned to attack Bashu in Hanzhong, and had a bad relationship with Yang Jun, who was also in the Sui room. When she went all the way south to Luoyang, and then received the news, Shen Faxing's father and daughter, who were already Nanchen, had already taken advantage of the battle between Yang Yin and Yang Jun to enter the situation. Avoiding the soldiers and horses left by Yang Xuan on the border between Nanchen and Jianghan, he took the Central Plains and went around to the north of Xiangyang to attack downstream, and in a short period of time, he had seized the entire territory of Yang Jin.

And Yang Jun in Shu was facing the sharp soldiers of his cousin Yang Yong, and if he couldn't beat it, he directly united Shen Faxing and Yu Wenhua on the left and right wings of Yang Yong. Yang Jun's daughter married her second husband, and sent a surrender table to both families, ostensibly saying that they were joining forces, but in fact they secretly pretended to surrender to the two families. The two families got Yang Jun's surrender, so naturally they didn't hesitate anymore, and they hurriedly led the soldiers and horses to Yang Jun's back road. …,

It's a pity that although Yang Jun is strong and strong, he is a guest army, and now he was attacked from three sides all of a sudden, and he was immediately defeated and retreated. The hometown was raided, and the back road was cut off, and Yang Jun put on a posture in front of him that he would rather surrender to Shen Faxing and Yu Wenhua and these two thieves, rather than accept Yang Jun's determination as a cousin. Yang Yong's fine grass did not continue, and what was even worse was that Chen Kefu inserted a lever at this time, and sent Li Jing and Zhang Zhongjian to capture Yang Jin's three last rear bases along the Han River: Nanyang, Hongnong, and Shangluo.

All the logistical grain and grass equipment are gone, and Yang Jin's 200,000 soldiers and horses have suddenly become a real rootless foundation. All of a sudden, he fell into the narrow land of Hanzhong in the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountain Range.

On the surface, Yang Xuan still occupied fifteen or sixteen counties in the area of Bashu and Hanzhong, but in fact, most of his soldiers and horses were surrounded by Yang Jun, Shen Faxing, Yu Wenhua and Zhizhi. Only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses led by himself, Pei Renji, Yu Juluo, Dong Chun, Tu Wanxu and others were left to defend the area of Dingjun Mountain in Dingxi County, Hanchuan County, west of Micang Mountain. The enemy army came in three breads, and it seemed that they were not far from defeat.

If there is really anyone who can save Yang Jun, only Chen Kefu is left in the whole world. Zhang Zhongjian's army is now stationed in Shangluo, and it is on the remaining side of the three-sided encirclement. And the distance is not far, along the Han River to the south, but only two days away.

However, Empress Xiao understood that Chen Kefu and Yang Jian had no friendship. Yang Jian is in trouble, Chen Kefu can't wait to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the more fierce the fight between these heroes, the happier he will watch. It's not so easy to get him to save his son.

Xiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Empress Xiao still couldn't completely let go of the matter. Yesterday, she had been sleepless all night when she heard the news, and when Yang Gao mentioned it again, she felt more and more uncomfortable. She looked at Yang Gao, in order to protect Yang Gao, she once crossed the spring breeze with Chen Ke at the expense of her body, begging him not to hurt the child.

Could it be that now she still has to go to the pillow seat for Yang Yin's biological son, and beg Chen Ke to come back to save him. Thinking of the lingering night at the beginning, Empress Xiao's face was hot for no reason, and her heart fluctuated slightly.
