    "His Royal Highness! Luoyang has sent a request for help. He wants to dispatch General Pang and General Huo to defend Luoyang City." Fang Xuanling said while looking at the secret letter.  "That mess in Luoyang is simply a bottomless pit. It's not enough to trap your own people, but you also want to trap Daxing City's 20,000 soldiers and horses?" Yang You jumped in anger.  Yang You despised him in his heart. With the command level of Yang Tong's child, he transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses to Pang Yu and Huo Shiju. It was like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. It is estimated that he would be swallowed up in a short time.  None.  "If you want those 20,000 soldiers and horses, there is no way!" Yang You shook his head and said decisively, there are no windows, let alone them.  "Your Highness, Luoyang and Daxing City have been helping each other. Now Luoyang is in danger, we have to save it!" Fang Xuanling advised sensibly.  Luoyang is the east gate of Daxing City, because although Luoyang suffered continuous defeats, if Luoyang hadn't blocked Wagang's hundreds of thousands of troops, I'm afraid Li Mi would have followed the brick road to attack Daxing City.  " Lips are dead and teeth are cold. Once Luoyang falls, Daxing City will also be implicated. Due to emotions and reasons, Daxing City will not sit back and watch Luoyang fall.  Yang You calmed down and realized that he was not acting out of emotion. He thought for a while and said, "Pang Yu and Huo Shiju are not required to go to Luoyang. They should pay close attention to the war in Luoyang. Once there is a crisis in Luoyang, they will immediately send troops to contain Wagang's troops." "But Luoyang's request for help.  ?" Fang Xuanling asked for instructions.  ¡°Inform Luoyang and ask them to hold on, and then I will personally rescue Luoyang!¡± Yang You added heavily.  "Personally rescue?" Fang Xuanling raised his head and looked at Yang You in surprise. He did not expect that His Highness the King of Dai would go to personally rescue Luoyang. Fang Xuanling wanted to persuade him again, but there was a rush of footsteps. Wang Xi hurriedly  The figure appeared at the door.  "Your Highness the King! A secret letter came from Jiangdu on the 10th!" Wang Xi sounded panicked.  Number 10 is a secret move made by Yang You into Jiangdu.  It has never been used. Unless something big happens, No. 10 will risk exposure to deliver the news.  "Jiangdu!" Yang You felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.  Yang You took the secret letter and opened it to take a look.  A series of numbers appeared on the secret letter.  Yang You spread the secret letter on the table, reached out from under the throne and pulled out a book of Spring and Autumn Period, followed the pictures, and immersed himself in deciphering it.  "The elephant is dead, but the fox is rebelling!" When these seven words appeared on the rice paper, Yang You was stunned for a long time.  He sat slumped on the throne and covered his head.  The elephant is Yang Guang¡¯s code name, and the fox is Yu Wenhuaji. Yang You originally thought that in this time and space, he had defeated Li Yuan and kept the stability of Guanzhong.  As long as there is no worries in Guanzhong, those heroes in Guanzhong will settle down, the turmoil in Jiangdu will be avoided, and Yang Guang's ending will change.  Who knew that Yang You, a little butterfly, would detonate the chaos in Jiangdu in advance, and Yang Guang would die two months in advance.  "Your Highness the King!" Fang Xuanling and Wang Xi looked worriedly at Yang You in front of them.  I have never seen Yang Yoo look like this.  After a long time, Yang You raised his red eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Invite all the important ministers!" "Yes!" Fang Xuanling responded.  Today is the Lantern Festival, and ministers are reuniting with their families. Although it is unreasonable to summon important ministers at this time, Fang Xuanling knows that something earth-shattering must have happened, otherwise Yang You would not summon them at this time.  "Boom." The city gate opened.  A large number of East Palace guards rode on tall horses, suddenly emerged from the imperial city, and rushed towards the homes of various important ministers.  Bone Mansion!  Gu Yi sat comfortably on the soft couch and enjoyed a day of leisure time.  Although Gu Yi is from Tianzhu and does not value the Lantern Festival, it is rare to have such a day of rest.  Now the whole world is in chaos, Daxing City is fighting in all directions, and there are many government affairs.  Gu Yi's excitement of becoming the head of the civil service had not subsided, and he almost threw himself into the thick files without being overwhelmed by the heavy government affairs. He was exhausted every day.  "Master!" The housekeeper hurried over.  "Why are you so panicked?" Gu Yi scolded.  "Master Qi, His Highness, please enter the palace immediately!" the Gu Mansion housekeeper said hurriedly.  "Enter the palace immediately. What's the reason for the visitor?" Gu Yi said with a solemn expression.  The housekeeper shook his head: "The guards of the East Palace didn't say anything, and the palace's carriage was already parked outside the house!" The carriages were all waiting at the door. Bone Yi was shocked. This had never happened before.  There was no time to change into court clothes, so he put on plain clothes and hurried out of the house.  &nbspOutside the Bone Mansion, an exquisite four-wheeled carriage was parked there quietly. A group of East Palace guards were standing quietly, motionless. The leader was Dong Yue, the commander of the East Palace guards.  "Master Gu, please!" Dong Yue opened the curtain.  "Thank you, Commander Dong!" Gu Yi said politely.  Bone Yi knew that this was not the time for greetings, so he lowered his head and entered the carriage, lowered the curtains, and the four horses immediately galloped. The guards immediately followed up, and they passed without hindrance.  The carriage galloped all the way. When it passed the palace gate, Dong Yue raised the token in his hand, and the gate guard immediately let him go. The carriage did not stop at all and entered Daxing Palace directly.  Bone Yi quietly observed this situation, and his heart suddenly sank. It seemed that something big had happened, otherwise His Highness Daiwang would not be so eager.  "Squeak!" The carriage stopped in front of Chengtian Hall.  "Master Gu, we have arrived!" Dong Yue opened the curtain.  Bone Yi turned over and got out of the car, but before he could stand still, several carriages came one after another, including Du Ruhui, the minister of the East Palace, Ping Honggui, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Kang Donghe, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Renzheng, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.  When everyone met, they couldn't help being shocked, and they were secretly surprised in their hearts.  What kind of big event happened that actually made His Highness the King of Dai call out all the important officials in Daxing City during the Lantern Festival.  Everyone's thoughts were racing, but their faces remained calm, and they all came to Chengtian Hall.  Entering the Chengtian Hall, I found that Yang You was sitting beside the throne in a daze. Next to him, Wang Xi and Fang Xuanling had sad faces, and a dignified aura filled the hall.  "See His Highness the King of Dai!" Under the leadership of Gu Yi, the four important ministers bowed and saluted.  "No courtesy!" Yang You's voice was calm, with no trace of sadness or joy.  "Dong Yue!" Yang You moved.  Sit upright.  "The humble post is here!" Dong Yue saluted.  "Immediately seal off the 100-foot radius of the Chengtian Palace, and no one is allowed to approach." Yang You ordered.  "Yes!" Dong Yue immediately accepted the order and left without asking the reason.  The gate of Chengtian Hall suddenly closed, and then the footsteps of all the guards gradually faded away, and the entire Chengtian Hall fell into silence.  Only Yang You, Gu Yi and others were left.  "Your Highness, King Dai! But something happened in Luoyang?" Gu Yi asked softly, breaking the silence.  In their opinion, His Highness Dai Wang urgently called them over, and the most likely reason was Luoyang. Wang Shichong was newly defeated, and Li Mi was leading an army of hundreds of thousands towards Luoyang.  If something goes wrong, it must be on the Luoyang side. The other armies in Daxing City are winning and gaining the upper hand, and it is impossible to fail in a short time.  "Oh!" Yang You reacted, pulled out the secret letter and said: "Luoyang was defeated again. Duan Da fled without fighting, the army collapsed, and Master Wei Jin died in battle!" "Luoyang was defeated!" "Wei Jin died in battle!"  Bone Yi and others couldn't help but exclaimed.  Wei Jin has been to Daxing City many times, but he has dealt with Daxing City officials many times, and Gu Yi and others are also familiar with him. Who would have thought that Wei Jin would die in battle just a few months ago.  "Duan Da is extremely cowardly. He escaped without fighting and even harmed Mr. Wei. This is a crime worthy of death." Gu Yi was furious.  No one can stand facing such pig teammates. Luoyang's two defeats fully embody one word: Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.  For the first time, Wang Bian had already entered the Wagang camp, and Wagang was about to be defeated. At this time, Wang Shichong sounded the clarion call for retreat.  They tricked Wang Bian to death, plus tens of thousands of troops.  This time, Duan Da fled again without fighting, tricked Wei Jin to death, and accompanied tens of thousands of troops.  Wei Jin is Concubine Wei¡¯s uncle.  Could it be that His Highness Dai Wang summoned us here because Wei Jin died in the battle?  The ministers guessed.  Thinking of this possibility, the ministers denounced Duan Da and mourned Wei Jin.  "Master Wei is loyal to the country, but he ended up like this in the end. God is really displeased!" "If the traitor Duan Da were in front of me, I would definitely spit in his face."  Suddenly, in the Chengtian Palace,  The ministers were furious.  "Okay!" Yang You raised his hand to stop.  The ministers¡¯ interest has ceased.  "It's just a small matter in Luoyang. This is not why I called you here." Yang You said.  Small things?  Is the defeat of Luoyang just a trivial matter?  The ministers looked at each other, and the doubts in their hearts became more intense. "If Luoyang is defeated, Wei Jin is killed in the battle, and Luoyang is about to fall, it is a trivial matter. Then what is the point of summoning them by His Highness the King of Dai?"What's going on?  Yang You stood up slowly, looked around the ministers, and said with sadness on his face: "There is news from Jiangdu, Grandpa Huang has passed away?" "Boom!" The news exploded like thunder in Chengtian Palace,  Everyone raised their heads and looked directly at Yang You in disbelief.  "The emperor passed away!" Gu Yi said with difficulty.  "Impossible?" Kang Hedong couldn't believe it, "How could this happen? The emperor was in the prime of life and had the spirit of a dragon and horse. How could he die young?" Gu Yi and others were also surprised and looked at Yang You.  Wang Xi and Fang Xuanling finally knew why His Highness Daiwang looked like this after receiving the secret letter.  "Yu Wenhua and Xiaoguo led Sima Deji to rebel and kill Grandpa Huang?" Yang You said sadly.  "Impossible? Guanzhong Xiaoguo is loyal to the emperor, so it is impossible for him to rebel." Ping Honggui said doubtfully.  "Yu Wenhuaji spread rumors that Li Mi had captured Daxing City. Guanzhong Xiaoguo was eager to return home. Under Sima Deji's instigation, he rebelled against Grandpa Huang. Yu Wenhuaji brutally killed Grandpa Huang." Yang You told the story.  The story was told again.  Hearing this, all the ministers in the hall believed this in their hearts. After all, they had long heard the news that Guanzhong Xiaoguo had defected and returned to his hometown. Even the government had caught several Xiaoguo who had escaped from Jiangdu.  "Your Majesty! You died so unjustly!" "I am unworthy of the Emperor's kindness. When His Majesty was in danger, I was not by my side. I betrayed the Emperor's trust."  In a moment, the entire  While the main hall was crying, several veterans were in tears and looked sad.  After a long time, everyone stopped crying.  "May I ask His Highness Dai Wang when this happened?" Gu Yi wiped away his tears and asked sadly.  .  "On the tenth day of the first lunar month! The king sent a letter to Fei Ge, the secret agent sent to Jiangdu. Only then did he get the news in advance." Yang You didn't shy away from the secret service at this moment and said bluntly.  "It's the tenth day of the lunar month. Today is the fifteenth day. It will take at least ten days for the news to reach Jiangdu." Bone Yi calculated.  "The death of the emperor will definitely cause turmoil. If we get the news in advance, we will be able to respond in time!" Du Ruhui said loudly.  The ministers were shocked, and then they remembered that the reason why the Guanzhong area was stable, in addition to the great force of Daxing City, was also due to the presence of Yang Guangjian, and the prefects of various counties were at peace.  Now Yang Guang passed away suddenly.  I'm afraid it will cause an uproar, and unrest is not impossible.  The ministers could not help but feel glad that they had received the news in time. If the news suddenly broke out in Daxing City, they would probably be very passive.  At this time, the ministers understood.  The reason why Yang You ordered Dong Yue to blockade the area of ??100 feet was probably leaked by their cries just now if His Highness had not made arrangements earlier.  "The top priority now is to stabilize the military. As long as a few generals can stabilize it and prevent the thieves around them from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, Guanzhong will be worry-free." Gu Yi said.  Yang You nodded.  As expected, Gu Yi was old and capable, and he could see the crux of the problem at a glance. Political power came from the barrel of a gun, and as long as the army could be captured, even if there was a rebellion, it would be a step away.  "The second is to secretly send a message to all the counties in Guanzhong, so that they can stabilize the local situation in advance and suppress any signs of unrest in advance." "Finally, I would like to ask His Highness to express my condolences. You are the backbone of Daxing City and will avenge the emperor.  The important task will fall on you." After Gu Yi finished speaking, he immediately paid homage.  Ping Honggui and others were startled and suddenly raised their heads.  After the death of the emperor.  A new emperor must be chosen, and His Highness the King in front of us is stunningly talented, brave, resourceful, and unparalleled in benevolence and justice. He is very popular in the hearts of the people. Isn't he the best candidate?  Now the whole world is in war. Among the three capitals, Jiangdu has fallen, and Luoyang is the only lonely city left, which is in danger.  The only one with the ability and strength to pacify the world is Daxing City.  When Daxing City pacifies the world and His Royal Highness Dai Wang ascends the throne, then they will become the heroes of the second founding of the country. At this moment, all the ministers are full of expectations.  The original panic of Yang Guang¡¯s death gradually subsided, and there was a slight surprise in my heart.  The ministers discussed in secret for a long time and finalized various strategies, and then they felt relieved.  "Okay, let's agree on this much first. From now on, martial law will be imposed in all Guanzhong areas, starting from Daxing City tonight." Bone Yi exhaled heavily and issued the order.  Immediately, a guard conveyed the order to the ministers who were on duty. The ministers were in disbelief when they saw the order, because todayThe night is the Lantern Festival, and the curfew is relaxed every year. Unexpectedly, this year there is martial law and the curfew is still in place.  "Is this a mistake?" asked a minister in scarlet official uniform.  "Master Gu, we are in Chengtian Palace. If you have any questions, you can ask them in person?" the guard replied coldly.  The minister in scarlet official uniform couldn't help but shrink his head. The procedures for this order were all correct, and it also had the seal and signature of Master Gu Yi. If he questioned this order with complete procedures, he would probably be scolded immediately.  ¡°Besides, the annual Lantern Festival curfew is just a convention, not a legal requirement. There is nothing wrong with the bone ritual¡¯s order from a legal perspective.  "I guess the people don't think so?" the minister in scarlet official uniform muttered. With this order, I believe the citizens of Daxing City will hate Gu Yi with itch.  After Yang You¡¯s improvement, the administrative efficiency of Daxing City was extremely fast. Soon Su Sheng of Daxing County Government received the order. After a moment of silence, he immediately ordered the government officials to carry out the order.  "Yes!" All the government officials said happily.  Daxing City is very lively during the Lantern Festival every year, but the excitement has nothing to do with them as government officials. Instead, they have to work overtime. This year, Daxing Palace suddenly issued an order to continue the Lantern Festival curfew. Doesn't this mean that they can't help but be on duty tonight?  How could they not be happy to go home and reunite with their families?  "Master Nei Shi has ordered that the curfew will continue tonight!" The government officials shouted excitedly along the main street.  "What?" Wherever the shout came, there was an uproar.  "What kind of bullshit order is this? The shopkeeper has already hung up the lanterns!" Two red lanterns were hung high on both sides of Hongfu Restaurant, and the shopkeeper stood below, furious.  Everything is ready, what if business is booming tonight and you can make a big fortune?  Little did he know that there would be a curfew tonight. He was about to get the free money, but it was lost because of those stupid officials who didn't understand the suffering of the people.  ¡°Meat eaters are despicable and do not understand the sufferings of the people.¡± The owner of Hongfu Restaurant scolded politely.  "This scholar has been preparing for half a month. He is planning to show off his skills tonight, win the lantern, and give it to Widow Liu. Now that the curfew is in effect, the good thing that this scholar is about to get has been ruined by the old men of Bone Yi." Wang Xiucai was angry.  road.  Immediately, many self-proclaimed romantic talents lamented and cursed Gu Yi.  "I think Master Gu's order is correct. Now that the world is in chaos, you are indulging in feasting and feasting. Isn't this the way to serve the country." Dr. Wang sighed with concern for the country and the people.  As soon as these words came out, countless people immediately pointed their fingers at him, and Dr. Wang ran away with his head in his hands.  But despite the scolding, no one dared to violate the curfew order, because the laws of the Sui Dynasty were extremely strict. If someone was caught for violating the curfew, he would be imprisoned for at least a few days.  What's more, Bone Yi just cleaned the entire Daxing City some time ago, and the flames were so fierce that no one dared to provoke Bone Yi at this time.  At the same time, there are also many keen people who have noticed the strangeness of this curfew order. Bone Yi is not in Daxing City for only two days a day. It is impossible for him not to know that the curfew is opened every year during the Lantern Festival. However, they have very little information and are just some random guesses.  That¡¯s all.  Soon, night fell, and the soldiers enforcing the curfew took to the streets one after another. Some people who were lucky enough returned home. If they were seen, the soldiers enforcing the curfew would not be able to get away.
