Just as the minister was at a loss for what to do, Yuwen Huaji rode into the palace hall on horseback, leading a group of soldiers.

"You audacious traitor, how dare you be disrespectful to the Emperor! Step back!"

Yuwen Huaji rebuked the minister, who quickly retreated into the ranks.

"Your Majesty, how have you been lately? The world is in chaos, and every citizen is rebelling. Your Majesty has long lost the hearts of the people and is unable to control the situation. I think you should hand over the Imperial Seal and the throne. Otherwise, have you not heard of the fate of Emperor Qianyang?"

Yuwen Huaji smiled at Yang Guang and said with a smile.

He had always been a subject of the Sui Dynasty, but he never expected that he would have this day, being able to speak to Emperor Yang Guang of Sui from a high position.

This taste is simply irresistible!

"Hahahaha, it must be you! Hahaha!"

"How could Emperor Qianyang compare to me?!"

"You, Yuwen Huaji, oh, you think you're Yang Guang, the Prince of Jin from back then!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha!"

Yang Guang laughed wildly, laughing incessantly.

This laughter was the cry of an emperor at the end of his life, a cry filled with pride, resentment, sorrow, and regret.

He laughed, realizing he had mistakenly trusted the despicable Yuwen Huaji.

He laughed, laughing at the tragedy and incomprehension of his life's achievements and failures.

He laughed, laughing at the cruel and unjust nature of fate.

He smiled, a smile that said his weary life was finally coming to an end.

He laughed, even though he had lost, he was still the emperor of this world, and Yuwen Huaji and the others were still his subjects!

"Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness!"

"Linghu Xingda!"

Two soldiers stepped forward and began punching and kicking Yang Guang, who laughed wildly as he did so.

"stop!

Zhu Guier burst in, shoving aside the two soldiers. The two soldiers were about to draw their swords when Yuwen Huaji stopped them.

"You murdered the emperor, you are truly heartless and treacherous!"

"Let's not even talk about the generous salaries throughout the year. Just recently, the Emperor learned that you guards were feeling cold in the spring, so he ordered palace maids to dress you in plain robes and bestow them upon you."

"His Majesty personally oversaw and urged the work, and thousands of robes were completed in just two days. Do you dare say you didn't know?"

"Such imperial grace! You traitors!"

Zhu Guier walked down the steps and stood in front of Yuwen Huaji.

"You traitors! You usurped the throne and murdered your master, you deserve to be torn to pieces!"

Yang Guang lay on the ground, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He never imagined that, to this day, with all the officials turning against him, not a single one of the many high-ranking officials who had received imperial favor and enjoyed high positions and generous salaries spoke up for him.

In the end, the only person willing to stand up for him and speak out was a concubine in the harem.

His life was truly a failure!

"You lewd and despicable wench! You have always used your seductive charms to bewitch the emperor, leading to the downfall of the empire! Now you dare to insult a righteous man! How can I appease the world if I don't kill you!"

"knife!"

Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife!

A guard handed him a short knife, which Yuwen Huaji drew and slit Zhu Guier's throat, killing her instantly.

"Mother! Mother! Wake up, Mother! Wake up, Mother! Mother, you can't die, Mother!"

Yang Guang's son also rushed out from the back hall, crying and shouting.

"Your Majesty, you always taught me to nip the problem in the bud!"

"Hehehehe!"

Yuwen Huaji killed Yang Guang's son with another blow, and then stepped forward to finish off Yang Guang.

"Wait, wait!"

Yang Guang slowly got up from the ground.

"An emperor has his own way of dying; how can he be killed by sword? To be decapitated is not in accordance with the rites of an emperor."

"Bring me the poisoned wine!"

Yang Guang straightened his dragon robe, tidied his beard, and held his head high.

"Why bother about how you die when you're about to die?"

Yuwen Huaji gave a disdainful smile.

Yang Guang lowered his head and looked at Yuwen Huaji with a cold gaze. Yuwen Huaji was stunned and was intimidated by Yang Guang's imposing aura.

Yang Guang smiled contemptuously upon seeing this, looked around, then at his own person, and took off a jade belt.

Holding the jade belt, he walked around the hall, searching for the best spot.

Wherever he went, his ministers and soldiers all gave way, and even Yuwen Huaji made way for him.

Finally, Yang Guang stopped at a position near the front of the center of the main hall, looked up at the dragon table, and chose this spot.

"This place is excellent. I am suspended here, entering through the door and peering through the window. At a glance, I am filled with a sense of grandeur and vastness."

"Within this wondrous painting, I, the ancient sage king, should rightfully be here!"

Yang Guang waved his hand, directing the soldiers to set up the jade belt for him to hang himself.

At Yuwen Huaji's signal, the soldiers helped Yang Guang fasten the jade belt he would use to hang himself.

Even at the end of his life, Yang Guang still walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, calm and composed, exuding the aura of an emperor.

Yang Guang placed the jade belt around his neck and once again tidied his appearance.

"The setting sun casts its last rays, a sight that evokes a sense of melancholy and desolation."

After saying this, the emperor was forced to hang himself by his ministers.

Just after Emperor Yang of Sui died, Yuwen Huaji received news that Li Mi and Dou Jiande had joined forces to attack, and he hurriedly led his men to set up defenses.

Upon reaching the palace gate, they saw Yuwen Chengdu kneeling there.

"Chengdu, His Majesty has already passed away, what are you still kneeling here for?!"

"Quickly retrieve the imperial seal for your father and break through the encirclement."

"Then you will be able to command the heroes, eliminate the feudal lords, unify the world, and establish my imperial dynasty."

Yuwen Chengdu looked sorrowful, his eyes bloodshot.

"Please forgive me, but I cannot comply."

"What did you say?!"

Yuwen Huaji was greatly alarmed.

Yuwen Chengdu lowered his head. "Father, whatever you do, I will never stop you."

"Because a child cannot be unfilial."

"But Chengdu was a subject of the Sui Dynasty, and since our emperor has been forced to his death, he has already committed disloyalty."

"Now, I, your son, will serve the Great Sui Dynasty with utmost loyalty!"

"snort!"

Yuwen Huaji waved his sleeve and said, "You don't listen to your father's words, so how can you talk about filial piety?"

Tears welled up in Yuwen Chengdu's eyes. "Now that the rebel king has arrived in Jiangdu, Chengdu should defend the country with his life and stop the rebel king. This is both to be loyal to the Sui Dynasty and to be filial to my father."

Yuwen Huaji saw that Yuwen Chengdu's tone was resolute and didn't know what to say.

He was a ruthless and tyrannical man who murdered the emperor and usurped the throne. Yet, this ruthless man with no moral bottom line actually gave birth to Yuwen Chengdu, a pure and innocent girl who was both loyal and filial!

Is this divine punishment for his regicide?!

Once Yuwen Huaji's ambitions and aspirations took over, he hurriedly led his troops to search for the imperial seal.

Cheng Yaojin on the other side suddenly needed to use the restroom.

"Brothers, I'm going to relieve myself in the grove. You go ahead, I'll catch up right away."

"Lazy people poop and pee a lot, hurry up and go."

Hou Junji, who was standing to the side, joked, then covered his nose and fanned himself, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Cheng Yaojin wasn't embarrassed at all. He spurred his horse and headed towards the nearby grove. Qin Qiong left Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng to watch over the area to prevent any accidents from happening.

After a flurry of actions, Cheng Yaojin found that the main force had vanished without a trace, not even their backs could be seen!

Cheng Yaojin, Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng: ? ? ?

What about people? !
