Traveling through Yuhuatian, the start of the Sunflower Collection is complete

Chang'an, Daxing Palace.

  Daxing Palace is an old palace of the Sui Dynasty. It was built in just nine months by Yu Wenkai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Sui Dynasty, on the orders of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian.

  At that time, Chang'an was also called Daxing City, which came from the meaning of Daxing in the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Daxing Palace was also named after Daxing City. It was the first royal palace of the Sui Dynasty.

  However, the terrain of Daxing Palace was low and it was unbearably humid in summer, forcing the emperor to leave the palace to escape the heat.

  This was also one of the main factors why Yang Guang later moved his capital to Luoyang.

  Yang Guang originally thought that he would never return to this poor place in his life.

  Unexpectedly, it has only been more than ten years since the capital was moved, and now we have to return here.

  Yang Guang walked in Daxing Palace, browsing everything familiar here, but there was no trace of nostalgia and joy on his face, instead it was terrifyingly gloomy.

  Coming here in your spare time is called revisiting the old place.

  But this time, he was forced to escape here.

  It's a shame!

  Prime Minister Dugu Feng also followed several officials quietly behind Yang Guang, with an extremely complicated look on his face.

  The palace was quiet, no one spoke.

  After a long time, Yang Guang slowly stopped at a corridor and suddenly said: "Uncle Guo, how long will it take for the troops from all over the border to arrive?"

  Dugu Feng stepped forward slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the army waiting in the north should arrive in three to five days. Xiguan is a little further. It will take at least ten days for General Li to arrive in Chang'an. But as long as the north When this large army arrives, even if the Ming army comes, it should be able to hold on for a while until General Li arrives."

  Yang Guang looked dazed: "The north has less than [-] troops. Can it really hold back the Ming Dynasty?"

  Dugu Feng's lips moved, but he remained silent after all, with a hint of complexity flashing in his eyes.

  According to the news, the number of Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition, including the allied army of Jianghu, exceeded [-].

  One hundred thousand versus eight hundred thousand?

  This is tantamount to a fool's dream.

  Even if the [-] troops that had been dragged to Xiguan arrived, it would be of no use at all. It would only delay the situation for two more days at most.

  Everyone knows this result.

  But at this time, no one dared to say such depressing words.

  The same goes for Yang Guang.

  He is not a fool, he naturally knows the situation at this moment.

  But despite this, he didn't want to give up.

  How could he be willing to hand over Sui Dynasty to others before he reached the last step?
  All I can say is that human nature is what it is.

  But I don't know why.

  Now that he was revisiting his old place and arriving at the Daxing Palace where the Sui Dynasty was founded, Yang Guang suddenly felt a strong sense of exhaustion in his heart.

  He had devoted so much energy and effort to this dynasty, but up to now, the Sui Dynasty was still riddled with holes, and its thirty-year-old foundation was on the verge of collapse.

  Even Yang Guang's reputation seems not to be very good. He is called a tyrant among the people, and everyone wants to rebel against him.

  Think about it carefully, does all of this and his persistence really make sense?
  In this world, no one can understand him.

  Silence for a long time.

  Yang Guang took a deep look at the old palace and suddenly said: "Send another message to let them go back. There is no need to come to Chang'an."

  There was a moment of silence in the field.

  Dugu Feng and others looked up in shock.

  "His Majesty?!"

  Dugu Feng looked at Yang Guang in disbelief: "Aren't you going to defend Chang'an?"

  "I can't stand anymore, I'm tired."

  Yang Guang sighed, shook his head and said, feeling like a broken jar.

  "This……"

  Dugu Feng and others looked at each other, almost unable to understand Yang Guang's thoughts.

  But even they didn't notice that after Yang Guang said these words, they seemed to be secretly relieved.

  Yang Guang ignored them. He took a few steps forward and looked to the east.

  At this time, the sun has just jumped out of the horizon and is slowly climbing towards the sky. The fiery red sunshine is gradually shining on the earth, warming the world and reviving all things.

  "There is a great Ming Dynasty in the east, and it is rising like the sun!"

  Yang Guang sighed with emotion, with a hint of self-mockery at the corner of his mouth, and then straightened his clothes, his face regained the majesty of the emperor again, turned around slowly, and said: "Let's go, I'm here in Daxing Palace, waiting for the Ming Dynasty!"

  Dugu Feng and others looked at each other again, sighed, shook their heads, and followed Yang Guang silently.

  But after taking a few steps, Yang Guang suddenly stopped.

  Dugu Feng and others raised their heads in confusion and were about to speak when their expressions suddenly changed.

  "Who are you? How dare you break into the palace?!"

  "Be careful, Your Majesty!"

  Everyone quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Yang Guang, staring warily at the figure in front of him.

  I saw an unbelievably handsome young man wearing a silver python robe appearing in the courtyard not far ahead.

  The young man has a tall body and a graceful and noble demeanor, which seems to give people a vague aura of majesty. His sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes are like stars. He is standing there quietly watching them at this moment, as if he has been waiting for a long time.

  Yang Guang's expression changed slightly, he stared closely at the young man in the python robe, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?!"

  He was certain that this person was definitely not from the palace, because he had never seen this young man before.

  Moreover, no one in the palace dared to wear a python robe at this moment.

  Swish, swish—

  Following Yang Guang's voice, two figures suddenly flashed out from the distance and stood in front of Yang Guang.

  These two people, a man and a woman, both look very old, but they are majestic and full of energy and blood, which makes people feel awe-inspiring and the pressure increases sharply.

  Seeing these two people appear, Yang Guang and others relaxed a little.

  "Mother."

  Dugu Feng quickly walked to the decrepit old woman and saluted respectfully.

  The old woman ignored him and just stared at the silver-robed young man opposite her, her whole body tense and her face full of solemnity.

  "I wonder who you are? Why did you break into my Sui Palace?" the old woman asked in a deep voice.

  The person who comes is Yuhuatian.

  He came here for Yang Guang this time. Although he met Ling Donglai on the way and was delayed for some time, he naturally could not return without success.

  Things that need to be done still need to be done.

  Facing the people's eager stares, Yu Huatian looked calm and glanced at the two people blocking Yang Guang's front, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

  Two heavenly beings!

  Although they are only in the early stages of being a celestial being, they are still very terrifying.

  You know, the previous Ming Dynasty did not have a single heavenly being.

  The Sui Dynasty had only been established for just over thirty years, but there were actually two heavenly beings in charge, which should not be underestimated.

  However, for him at this moment, there is not much difference between ordinary heavenly beings and ordinary warriors.

  Glancing at Yang Guang in the crowd, Yuhuatian said calmly: "Let them retreat. I don't want to kill anyone today. Even Yuwen Tuo was defeated. They will never be stronger than Yuwen Tuo."

  As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly changed again.

  Yang Guang's pupils shrank and he stared at Yuhuatian: "Are you King Wu of the Ming Dynasty, Yuhuatian?!"

  Yu Huatian said calmly: "It's me." The atmosphere instantly became solemn.

  No one expected that the culprit who caused the turmoil in the Great Sui Dynasty and forced them to flee to Chang'an like lost dogs would also appear here.

  Thinking of all the information about this person, everyone's hearts sank and they were extremely nervous.

  "What do you want to do?!"

  Yang Guang stared at Yuhuatian. Although he was nervous, he did not want to lose his imperial demeanor.

  In addition, there was a trace of hatred and murderous intent that could not be concealed in his eyes.

  No one can remain calm in the face of a life-and-death enemy who will destroy his country and his family, even if he is the emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

  But Yuhuatian turned a deaf ear and just looked at him and said calmly: "You should know very well that if I want to kill you, no one in Chang'an City can stop me. Don't you want to talk about it?"

  Yang Guang looked gloomy and clenched his fists, but finally loosened them weakly.

  He knew that what Yuhuatian said was true.

  He has also seen with his own eyes the power of top warriors.

  Even Yuwen Tuo was defeated by Yu Huatian. If Yu Huatian really wanted to kill him, no one in Chang'an City could protect him at this moment.

  Taking a deep breath, Yang Guang waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "You guys stand down."

  "His Majesty!"

  Dugu Feng and others were so anxious that they quickly spoke out to dissuade him.

  The old woman who was called 'mother' by Dugu Feng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, although we are no match for him, even if we fight to the death, we will never let him harm your Majesty at all!"

  Yang Guang shook his head and said: "Mrs. You, please step back too."

  This old woman turned out to be the leader of the Dugu Clan and the mother of Prime Minister Dugu Feng, Mrs. You Chuhong!

  Hearing this, You Chuhong frowned, and just as he was about to speak, a cold look appeared on Yang Guang's face, saying, "What? Is it useless for me to speak now?"

  You Chuhong was slightly startled and quickly bowed: "I don't dare."

  After saying that, he looked at the old man next to him and frowned, but he did not dare to disobey Yang Guang's order. He turned around and signaled to Dugu Feng and others: "Let's go."

  Everyone withdrew one by one and stood outside the courtyard, waiting nervously.

  Yang Guang ignored them, straightened his clothes, walked straight to the stone table in the yard, sat down, and made an inviting gesture to Yuhuatian.

  Seeing that Yang Guang had regained the majesty and calmness that belonged only to an emperor, and was not pretending to be so, Yu Huatian couldn't help but have a flash of admiration in his eyes. He was indeed the famous Sui Yang Emperor!
  Without saying much, Yuhuatian strode to sit opposite Yang Guang, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for Yang Guang himself.

  "Please!"

  Yang Guang picked up the tea cup, took a sip and then put it down. Then he glanced at Yu Huatian, who was handsome and graceful. He couldn't help but secretly praise him and said, "I never thought that the famous King Wu would destroy three dynasties in a row. , it turns out that it doesn’t look like a three-headed, six-armed person.”

  "The rumors are so unbelievable."

  Yuhuatian smiled faintly, then looked at Yang Guang and said, "Just like Your Majesty, aren't you also called a cowardly tyrant by the world?"

  Yang Guang was startled for a moment, then his face darkened, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said, "What? Are you here to see my joke?"

  He naturally knows what kind of image he has among the people.

  Yuhuatian said calmly: "I didn't mean to make fun of you, what I said is the truth."

  Yang Guang sneered: "In your opinion, am I a tyrant?"

  "It doesn't count."

  Yu Huatian said calmly: "Speaking of which, if you are not too anxious to do things, you will not be able to compare with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but it may not be impossible to rival the Emperors of Qin and Han Wu, and leave a name in history."

  As soon as these words came out, Yang Guang's expression was shocked, and his whole person instantly became a little excited.

  "Now the whole world is calling me a coward and tyrant, but you think I am qualified to leave a name in history?!" He looked at Yuhuatian with burning eyes.

  Yu Huatian shook his head and said, "What I mean is that you were originally qualified, but you took advantage of yourself."

  "You are too hasty. What should have been accomplished in several generations, you insist on completing in this generation. Therefore, the situation has become what you see now."

  Saying that, Yuhuatian paused and said, "Actually, even without me, the Great Sui Dynasty would be destroyed sooner or later."

  "The appearance of Yuwen Tuo only delayed the destruction of the Sui Dynasty."

  Yang Guang looked gloomy and was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "You're right, I'm done with it."

  "Compared to the First Emperor, I want to create an unprecedented prosperous age, so that farmers can cultivate, have clothes, and have food. Unfortunately, the power of the powerful families is too strong, and the rivers and lakes are also in turmoil. What kind of righteous path is there? Disrupt the world."

  "Their existence has seriously hindered my plan for a prosperous age."

  Yang Guang looked sad and angry: "I opened the canal to connect the north and the south. The purpose is to strengthen the connection between the north and the south and strengthen the control of Jiangnan and other places. Is this wrong?"

  "I conquered Goguryeo three times in order to eliminate future troubles forever. Goguryeo rose too fast and colluded with the Turks. Liaodong and other places were occupied by them. If we don't fight, it will definitely become a serious trouble in the future."

  "I just don't want our Sui Dynasty to be like that useless Song Dynasty. We need to beg for mercy from these foreign thieves in the north by means of compensation, marriage, etc."

  "Am I wrong?!"

  At the end, Yang Guang couldn't help but roared with grief and anger.

  These things have been weighing on his mind for a long time.

  But no one in the world understands him.

  People will only see that he created the canal and consumed countless manpower and material resources. They saw that he conquered Goguryeo three times and provoked wars with foreign races, causing countless casualties and seriously depleting the national power of the Sui Dynasty.

  They thought he was a foolish king and a tyrant.

  But in his opinion, these people are just a bunch of short-sighted villains!

  But, he failed!
  The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. He has nothing to say.

  Therefore, they began to abandon themselves, and civil strife began to occur in the Sui Dynasty.

  The Sui Dynasty, which was once at its peak, was on the verge of collapse. Now, it is on the verge of extinction...

  "I didn't say you were wrong."

  Looking at his almost crazy look, Yu Huatian shook his head and said: "On the contrary, what you have done is something that will benefit the present generation and benefit the future."

  "It's just that the Sui Dynasty's background is too shallow to withstand your torment like this."

  "Besides, you were too anxious, which led to such consequences."

  "As for the public's evaluation of you, I think you are not a fool, but a tyrant is definitely inevitable."

  Yang Guang's face froze, he smiled bitterly, and said: "Yes! What I have done can indeed be called a tyrant."

  "But it doesn't matter anymore. Since you failed, you have to suffer the consequences of failure."

  "Let us leave it to future generations to evaluate whether we have merit or demerit."

  "At least, although I have regrets in my life, I never regret anything I have done!"

  After that, he looked at Yuhuatian and said: "I have finished my words. If you want to kill him, then kill him. I will give this Sui to you."

  Yu Huatian couldn't help but laugh and shook his head: "Don't misunderstand me, even if I really destroyed Sui Dynasty, it was not a gift from you. With or without you, the result will be the same."

  Yang Guang's eyes twitched and he said: "Are you here to attack me, or are you here to kill me?"

  "neither."

  Yuhuatian shook his head: "I said before, I will not kill you. Killing you means nothing to me."

  Yang Guang was stunned for a moment: "Don't kill me? What do you want to do?"

  Yu Huatian pondered for a moment and said: "I originally just wanted you to give up resistance, but I didn't expect that you already had this idea in your heart, so there is no point in my coming here this time."

  "But just now, I suddenly had another idea."

  "What do you think?" Yang Guang asked.

  Yuhuatian smiled slightly and said: "Da Sui is still yours. You can continue to realize your ideals. I can help you."

  "However, we have to find another way..." (End of Chapter)
