Yang Guang died, and this historically controversial emperor passed away.
Although Yang Guang was unpopular with the people, he was the orthodox person in the world after all. When the news of his death spread, people all over the world would still feel sad for him unconsciously. The whole Jiangdu was in the midst of miserable wind and heavy rain. People in the whole city, wearing sackcloth and mourning, knelt down and cried in mourning to commemorate the death of the Sui Emperor.
In the mourning hall, Yang Guang's tomb is placed in the middle, and the tombs of Yang Jian and Yang Tan are placed on the left and right respectively. The two of them did not escape Feng Deyi's poisonous hands and were poisoned in their own dormitory.
Yang Gao knelt down and sat at the bottom, dressed in white mourning clothes, staring blankly at the burial place of his superior, Yang Guang.
Although Yang Gao and Yang Guang were not actually father and son at this time, since Yang Gao came to this world, he could always inadvertently feel Yang Guang's fatherly love and experience the loneliness and helplessness of this emperor. .
"Your Highness, you have been guarding His Majesty's soul for ten days, and Jiangdu City is still waiting for Your Highness to take charge of the overall situation!" Yu Yunwen, who had just arrived in Jiangdu from Nanyang, advised softly.
"Yunwen, has Feng Deyi been caught?" Yang Gao said in a hoarse voice.
Yu Yunwen shook his head helplessly, "Your Highness, since His Majesty's funeral, General Shen Guang has led the inner guards to dig three feet deep in the imperial city to search for Feng Deyi's whereabouts, but there is still no news, so we hope Your Highness, forgive me!”
"That's all, that's all!" Yang Gao waved his hand after hearing this, "Feng Deyi's ability to lurk beside his father for so long cannot be underestimated. I'm afraid he is already on his way back to Guanzhong at this moment!"
Yu Yunwen said sternly: "Your Highness, if you can escape, a monk cannot escape from the temple. If Your Highness wants to revive the Sui Dynasty and unify the world, where can he escape to Feng Deyi?"
Yang Gao smiled bitterly, "Yunwen, how could Gu not know what you are talking about? Even Gu had known that his father would have such a result, but at this moment, Gu's heart still hurts, and Gu still couldn't accept this. result."
"Your Highness, you are entrusted by His Majesty, and you have no time to be emotional!" Yu Yunwen said sternly, "If His Majesty sees His Majesty like this, he will not rest in peace. Are you going to let Your Majesty die? Can't you find peace?"
Yang Gao's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, "Yu Yunwen, you are so bold. Do you believe I will kill you alone?"
Yu Yunwen knelt on the ground, straightened his back and said sternly: "Yunwen's death is not a pity. If Yunwen's death can help His Highness step out of the shadows and revive the Sui Dynasty, Yunwen is willing to die!"
"You..." Yang Gao looked at Yu Yunwen's firm eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Your Highness, what Mr. Yu said is absolutely true. A country cannot live without a king for a day. I sincerely ask Your Highness to abide by the late emperor's will, ascend the throne as emperor, and revive the Sui Dynasty!"
Xue Rengui, Yang Lin, Lai Huer, Pei Ju, Yu Shinan, Chen Leng, Xiao Yu and other civil servants and generals who were waiting in the mourning hall rushed in and kowtowed to Yang Gao in unison.
"I sincerely request Your Highness to obey the late emperor's edict, ascend the throne as emperor, and avenge the late emperor!"
A clear voice sounded. Empress Xiao, dressed in mourning clothes, walked slowly to the front of the officials, knelt down on one knee towards Yang Gao, raised the jade seal of the country in her hand high above her head, and handed it to Yang Gao. .
"Mother..."
Empress Xiao raised her head, looked at Yang Gao firmly, and said in a deep voice: "Gao'er, your father is no longer here. You have to shoulder the burden of the Sui Dynasty. To revitalize the Sui Dynasty, this is what you can do for you." Father, please do your utmost to be filial, and mother, I believe in you!"
"My son, I will obey my mother's decree!" Yang Gao wiped away the tears from his eyes, calmly took the imperial seal from Queen Xiao, and held it high above his head.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
When the officials saw Yang Gao taking the jade seal, they immediately kowtowed to Yang Gao.
Yang Gao adjusted his mentality slightly and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, no courtesy!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Therefore, Li Mi did not surrender to Emperor Huangtai of Luoyang like in history, but instead established himself as King of Wei. He led the Wagang army to attack Luoyang, vowing to occupy the entire Central Plains in one fell swoop.
As for the Guanlong nobles who were regarded as a serious concern by Yang Guang, because Li Yuan did not have Chang'an at this time, they have not yet responded to the matter. However, the Guanlong nobles had already agreed that when Li Yuan captured Chang'an and occupied Guanzhong, they would immediately support them. Make him emperor.
