Great Sui Dynasty.
Eastern Capital Luoyang, Ziwei City.
The originally luxurious palace walls were now decorated with lanterns and streamers, making it extremely lively.
Hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs came and went, laying out red carpets and hanging lanterns.
Da da!
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous general uniform with a long saber hanging at his waist walked into the main hall with two fierce generals. He had a dignified appearance.
It was Yuwen Huaji, the clan leader of Yuwen clan.
Three months ago, Yuwen Huaji launched a mutiny in Jiangdu, killed Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and supported Yang Hao as Emperor.
After he succeeded to the throne, Yang Hao worshiped Yuwen Huaji as the prime minister and took charge of the government.
At this moment, Yuwen Huaji could control the entire imperial court with one hand. Yang Hao was just a puppet emperor in his hands.
When the chief eunuch saw Prime Minister Yuwen Huaji, he immediately led the eunuchs and palace maids to line up neatly to welcome Yuwen Huaji.
"This servant welcomes the Prime Minister."
The chief eunuch bowed and said,""Long live the Prime Minister."
Yuwen Huaji looked around, and his brows were filled with a cold chill.
Then, he said coldly to the manager,"Chief Steward Li, how are the arrangements for His Majesty's wedding coming along?”
The chief eunuch immediately cupped his hands and replied,"Reporting to the Prime Minister, everything is ready.”
Yuwen Huaji said again," That's good. His Majesty's marriage is a major matter of the country. If anything goes wrong, it will be a great crime to exterminate his entire family. Manager Li must be on guard!”
The chief eunuch immediately nodded and bowed in agreement.
As he spoke, his forehead was covered in sweat.
Yuwen Huaji turned around and left the main hall.
Whoosh!
Seeing Yuwen Huaji leave, all the eunuchs and palace maids heaved a sigh of relief.
"What are you looking at?”
"Be careful tomorrow. If anyone makes a mistake, their head will fall to the ground.”
The head eunuch vented all the shock he had just received on the eunuchs and palace maids under his control.
Outside the main hall.
Yuwen Huaji was rushing to his Prime Minister's residence.
At this moment, a soldier came to him and cupped his hands."Prime Minister, the Yin Weed Sect Master and the Saintess have arrived at the Prime Minister's residence.”
The corner of Yuwen Huaji's mouth rose as he muttered,""Zhu Yuyan, you're really fast.”
After saying that, he quickened his pace.
……
In the emperor's bedroom.
The surroundings were brightly lit, and the emperor, Yang Hao, who was wearing a sleeping robe, was staring at the door of the palace. His eyes were at a loss, and there was no light in them. It was as if he had lost his soul.
Yang Hao was not from this world.
He was actually a transmigrator.
Three months ago, he woke up and transmigrated to this world.
The identity he had transmigrated to was the last emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, Yang Hao, who had the same name as him.
On the day he transmigrated, he was held hostage by Yuwen Huaji to ascend to the throne.
The world that Yang Hao had transmigrated to was not a purely historical world. It was a comprehensive martial arts world with various empires as its background.
This comprehensive martial world was vast and extended for tens of thousands of miles.
Among them, there were many empires, with the Great Sui, Great Ming, Great Song, Great Qin, and Great Yuan as the main ones standing in the vast Central Plains.
Other than the five great empires, the Central Plains was surrounded by the Jin Kingdom, Tubo, Xixia, Dali, Liao, Koryo, and other foreign countries.
In every dynasty, there were many sects, and martial arts flourished. There were many sects that he was familiar with.
For example, there were countless top factions such as Yin Weed Sect, Kind Boathouse, Shifting Flower Palace, Ming Cult, Sun Moon Cult, Wudang Sect, Holy Water Palace, Devil Master Palace, Shaolin Temple, and so on.
In the martial arts world, good and evil stood against each other, and there were endless disputes. From time to time, it would cause a bloody storm.
Yang Hao's face was full of worry as he thought about this.
He felt bitter in his heart.
As a transmigrator, how could he not know the fate of Emperor Yang Hao?
In history, Yang Hao was labeled as a " puppet emperor ". He was just a tool for Yuwen Huaji to ascend to the throne.
Yang Hao ascended the throne in March and was deposed and poisoned by Yuwen Huaji in September.
It was already the middle of June, which meant that Yang Hao would only be alive for two months and fifteen days.
From this, one could see how miserable Emperor Yang Hao's fate was.
Waiting for death was more painful than death.
Thinking of this, Yang Hao, who was holding his chin, could not help but sigh deeply.
He thought to himself," It wasn't easy for me to transmigrate, and my identity is the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. I haven't even had the chance to enjoy the majesty of ruling a territory and the pleasure of serving three thousand beauties in my harem, and I'm about to die?"
Yang Hao was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, he was now alone and an ordinary person without the strength to even tie a chicken. There were heavy guards outside the bedroom. It was harder than ascending to the heavens to escape.
Moreover, Yuwen Huaji had given an order that Yang Hao would be killed without mercy if he stepped out of the palace without his permission.
This made Yang Hao even more wary.
Instead of seeking death, it was better to lie low and wait.
Yang Hao didn't want to give up. There was only hope if he lived.
The opportunity he had been waiting for was about to arrive.
A month ago, Yuwen Huaji had informed him that he was about to marry the Imperial Concubine to celebrate his wedding. He wanted to summon the world and pray for the good weather in the Great Sui Dynasty, for the people to live in peace, and for the country to prosper.
Yang Hao had never seen this imperial concubine before, but he heard that her skin was as fair as snow and her face was extremely beautiful. She was a great beauty that could topple a country.
Yang Hao knew very well how such a good thing would befall him, the puppet emperor.
All of this was Yuwen Huaji's scheme!
Using the beauty trap to lure Yang Hao into abdicating the throne, he would be able to take over the Great Sui Dynasty and successfully ascend to the throne.
Tomorrow would be the auspicious day for Yang Hao to marry his concubine.
It was also his only chance to escape from the palace.
Yang Hao made up his mind. Even if the chances were slim, he had to give it a shot.
At this moment, a few figures appeared outside the bedroom.
The head eunuch was leading a few eunuchs and palace maids, carrying the wedding robe that the Emperor was going to wear the next day. They walked step by step into the palace and walked towards Yang Hao.
When he saw Yang Hao, the chief eunuch did not show any courtesy.
His eyes were filled with disdain.
There was no trace of the attitude of a servant meeting the emperor.
"These are the clothes you're going to wear tomorrow. I've put them on the bed for you. Tomorrow, I'll let these little ones help you get dressed."”
"Come, put your clothes on the bed.”
After instructing the palace maids and eunuchs to put down the things, the head eunuch turned around and left.
His footsteps were high!
Yang Hao looked at these dog slaves expressionlessly.
He couldn't be bothered to care about the actions of these slaves.
These guys were all sycophants who were used to being subservient. Now that they had finally caught such a puppet emperor, how could they not hold their heads high?
Yang Hao turned around and looked at the dazzling and gorgeous emperor's wedding robe on the bed. He clenched his fists tightly.
"Tomorrow, whether we live or die depends on this!"”
