Whoosh.
The headless corpse that had been thrown onto the city wall by a hemp rope swayed in the breeze.
The moment the soldiers of Luoyang entered the city to protect the Emperor, they clenched their fists and stared at the corpses that were dancing in the wind.
It was the corpse of the Turkic Shibi Khagan.
Look, the corpse's head had already been chopped off, and the head had been handed over to the Turks to humiliate them.
The eyes of the Luoyang people were a little wet. They seemed to see the Central Plainsmen holding their heads high again.
"Great Sui is mighty!"
Someone took the lead and shouted.
"Great Sui is mighty!"
"Great Sui is mighty!"
The rest of the people followed suit and shouted, including many of the Luoyang garrison soldiers.
"I've never seen such a scene before.”
Yang Guang was excited. Even during the prosperous era of the former emperor, there had never been a situation where the people shouted out the might of the Great Sui.
This move was enough to be recorded in the annals of history and remembered by future generations!
Seeing this scene, seeing that the King of Qin had such popular support, coupled with everything they had considered before, the other ministers also began to consider whether they should join the ranks of the anti-Sui army.
In addition, after the King of Qin returned to the north, both the people's hearts and the army's morale seemed to have the intention of moving closer to him. This was not good news for some small people.
After the army entered Luoyang, it headed for the Imperial Palace. At the same time, the news of the defeat of the Turkic main force at Yanmen Pass and the beheading of the Turkic Khan was announced to the world.
The meaning of this move was to show the world that the foundation of Great Sui was still there, and the strength of Great Sui was still there. No one could be inferior!
The ministers entered the palace. The Emperor announced in the court that they would rest for a day and that the court session would start tomorrow.
Li Yuan and the others left the court to prepare for the first court meeting after the battle.
In addition, because of the return of the King of Qin, the significance of this court meeting was not small. Not only Li Yuan and the others, but many officials in the court were also very concerned.
As the officials left, the palace became quiet.
Just as the sun was setting, Yang Ji, who was resting in the King Qin's Palace, was specially summoned by the Emperor.
When he went to the secondary hall, he saw his grandfather dressed in casual clothes. He had an oil lamp lit and was reading some memorials that he was not in.
"Ji 'er is here?"
When Yang Guang heard the commotion, he put down the memorial in his hand and turned to look at Yang Ji.
"Yes, Grandfather."
Yang Ji bowed, and then Yang Guang directly gave him a futon.
Yang Ji sat down cross-legged. The grandfather and grandson sat opposite each other. As the oil lamp flickered, the grandfather and grandson's shadows elongated.
"Do you feel tired after the battle at Yanmen Pass?”
His grandfather did not go straight to the point. Instead, he asked with concern.
"With such a great victory, Ji 'er doesn't feel tired. Instead, grandfather is taking care of his dragon body.”
Yang Ji replied, his tone full of energy.
"Not bad, Ji 'er is very thoughtful."
His grandfather stroked his beard and nodded with a smile. Ever since the battle at Yanmen Pass, he had become more and more satisfied with his eldest grandson.
After this conversation, the atmosphere fell into a short silence.
His grandfather narrowed his eyes slightly. His turbid eyes stared at the king of Qin without moving. It was as if he wanted to learn something from the king of Qin's eyes.
Yang Ji knew that his grandfather had summoned him in the middle of the night. It was not to ask about his well-being. There must be something else.
Indeed, Yang Guang had previously made the King of Qin the emperor's grandson in Yanmen Pass, but there was a fundamental difference between establishing it and directly establishing it.
The reason why the King of Qin had come this late at night was to confirm whether he should be conferred the title. Therefore, the following conversation was especially important.
This would determine whether the King of Qin would be able to obtain the position of the emperor's grandson and the future of the Great Sui Dynasty.
"Faced with the current situation of rebellions everywhere in the world, how should the Great Sui pacify the world?”
His grandfather took a deep breath, and his pupils suddenly became sharp.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. This was not the tension of drawing a sword and drawing a crossbow, but the tension of discussing the general situation of the world.
Yang Ji did not answer. Instead, he looked at the ground and fell into a short contemplation.
His grandfather was not in a hurry to urge him. Instead, he quietly waited for the King of Qin's next answer.
"Grandfather, in the face of the rebellion in the world, we should first firmly occupy the Central Plains and stabilize the eastern capital, Luoyang. As long as the situation here improves, we don't have to worry about shaking the rule of Great Sui.”
Yang Ji said.
His grandfather nodded slightly upon hearing this. Occupying the Central Plains was the most important thing. If the situation in the Central Plains was dangerous, it would be useless even if the rebels in other places were dealt with.
In the end, if the weeds were not uprooted, they would grow again in the spring breeze.
However, his grandfather did not reply. Instead, he continued to wait for the King of Qin to speak. It was obvious that the general situation of the world could not be explained clearly in a few words.
"After we firmly occupy the Central Plains, we can then deal with the rebel forces in Guanzhong, Bashu, and Bingzhou. This way, we can connect these regions together and stabilize the rule of important regions. At that time, we don't have to worry about the world being in chaos.”
Yang Ji continued.
This was the most important thing in the world.
Stabilizing the Central Plains and gradually clearing out the rebel forces in the important areas of the Central Plains. As long as they occupied these places, even if the other areas were in chaos, it would not be too chaotic. They would not be able to damage the foundation of Great Sui.
Moreover, by using the military forces in these areas, they could also quickly clean up. This was the vision that Yang Ji proposed.
This way, he would be able to slowly unify the entire world.
"That's right. Ji 'er's suggestion is the best way to deal with the current situation.”
His grandfather stroked his beard. He was satisfied with Yang Ji's strategy.
"How should we firmly occupy the Central Plains now?”
His grandfather once again raised a question. Since the general direction had been decided, how to implement it was also a big problem.
There were many rebels in the Central Plains, and the rebel army was deeply popular. This was also a big problem.
"After the Battle of Yanmen Pass, the Great Sui Dynasty has spread the prestige of the country. This matter not only invigorates the morale of the army, but also can strike down the arrogance of the rebel army and recover some of the hearts of the people. With this as the foundation, we can gradually eliminate the rebels in the Central Plains.”
Yang Ji hit the nail on the head.
"To deal with the rebel army's arrogance, just suppressing them won't eliminate the root of the problem. Instead, we have to start from the direction of the people's hearts and take back the people's hearts.”
Yang Ji added.
His grandfather was slightly surprised to hear this. Now that he heard this, it seemed that Yang Ji had killed the Khan in the middle of the army in order to occupy the Central Plains.
No matter how one looked at it, it seemed that Yang Ji had long had the idea of the future development of Great Sui and had taken action in some events.
This vision even exceeded Yang Guang's expectations.
"That's right. I've neglected Ji 'er's talent.”
Yang Guang sighed.
