To deal with people like Empress Xiao who have already reached the pinnacle of power in the world.

Yang Su was very experienced and did not need any fancy things. The word "sincerity" was his biggest killer.

Be open and honest, and don't hide your true feelings.

Looking at Yang Su who had not stood up for a long time at the bottom of the stairs, Empress Xiao's phoenix eyes were confused for a moment. She raised her hand slightly, and colorful phoenix clouds flashed, binding all the conversation between Empress Xiao and Yang Su, without leaking a single word.

At this point, Empress Xiao's expression became a little bitter, and she said, "What Lord Su wants is not to make our Great Sui prosperous, what else can we be bothered by?"

For the first time, Yang Su raised his head without hesitation and looked directly into the eyes of Empress Xiao.

After a moment, Yang Su said with some sadness: "Empress, is our Great Sui Dynasty really prosperous now?"

Empress Xiao remained silent and didn't know how to answer Yang Su.

It is true that Yang Su was a powerful official with selfish motives, but throughout his life, he was extremely loyal to the Yang family and the Sui Dynasty. Even though the construction of the Eastern Capital and the digging of the Grand Canal hurt the country's foundation, it was nothing considering the national strength of the Sui Dynasty at that time.

Yang Guang only needs to rest and recuperate for a few years, and the slight loss will be compensated by itself.

But Yang Guang's actions were too hasty.

As soon as Yang Su died, Yang Guang became like a kite that had been let go, and began to act recklessly, either launching conquests in all directions or suppressing aristocratic families.

The overly hasty actions and overly obvious intention to suppress caused divisions in the Sui court.

This is why the Sui Dynasty is now in ruins and people are resentful.

Even though Empress Xiao had lived in the deep palace for a long time, she could not go against her conscience and say such shameless words.

Chapter 556: The plan of the movie star Yang Su succeeds

On the three islands of Jiuzhou Pond and in front of Yaoguang Palace, the atmosphere was momentarily tense.

Empress Xiao was not an unreasonable person. As the queen of a country, she had always managed the Sui Dynasty's harem in a very harmonious manner.

As for her husband Yang Guang's eager actions, Empress Xiao could not control it.

When Yang Suqiu came to his house, he did not rebuke him harshly nor did he make a scene. Instead, he remained sincere as a subject from beginning to end, and was always thinking about the interests of the Sui Dynasty.

In this way, Empress Xiao could not do anything to Yang Su. She couldn't just suppress him directly.

It's not that she couldn't, but a woman like Empress Xiao would never do such a thing as being ungrateful, refusing to correct her mistakes, and being stubborn and conceited.

It can be said that Yang Su had long figured out the tempers of Yang Guang and his wife.

If Yang Guang were here, Yang Su would never come to see the emperor no matter what.

There was a stalemate for a while.

Empress Xiao was finally helpless and compromised. She said, "Mr. Su, I have no choice but to go to Liaodong and argue with His Majesty instead of looking for me, a woman..."

Yang Su immediately bowed his head and spoke again, "Empress, your majesty's decision is not something that a dead minister like me should interfere with. However, I faked my death and left the world, while my son became unruly and rebelled, even besieging Luoyang."

"Ten days ago, after I learned of the evil son's actions, I hurried out and have already suppressed the evil son in the army camp. Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty. This is my only capable son."

Empress Xiao hesitated and said, "The rebellion of Duke Chu is of great importance. I am a woman and can only guard Luoyang for Your Majesty. I cannot make any decisions."

Although she was hesitant, Empress Xiao was a very steady person and knew what her responsibilities were.

At the same time, Empress Xiao was not the kind of naive person who would leave the city just after being fooled. If she was caught on the spot, it would be a disaster.

Hearing Empress Xiao's words, Yang Su lowered his head even more and almost knelt down on the spot.

For a moment, Yang Su's emotions were brewing, tears streaming down his face, and he said, "Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty. I know that you are worried, so I dare not ask you to leave the city. I know that you should go to the front line on the city wall, show yourself, and persuade the army to surrender."

"At that time, I will let that wicked son apologize and hand over the tiger talisman, and let the army outside the city surrender and wait for your majesty's army to return to the court. In this way, the crime will be less serious, and for the sake of the 100,000 thunder-struck troops, your majesty can also spare my wicked son's death sentence."

"Please have mercy, Madam..."

Fight.

In order to secure the future of Luoyang City, Yang Su gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of the Yaoguang Palace, and kowtowed.

At the same time, Yang Su also forcibly disrupted his own Qi and directly spat out a mouthful of his original heart blood.

This is not a minor injury, but a serious blow that damages the origin.

Even for a Martial Saint, once his origin is damaged, he will be extremely weak for a long time.

Considering Yang Su's current situation, it can be said that he has placed his life directly in the hands of Empress Xiao, which can be described as a desperate move.

"Su Gong!"

Seeing Yang Su apologize with his forehead raised and spit out his heart blood, Empress Xiao seemed to be reluctant to do so.

After hearing Empress Xiao's words, Yang Su raised his head. His face was as pale as gold paper, and his body was filled with a kind of exhausted, dry, gray and dead look. He said weakly, "Don't worry, your majesty. I am a relative of the Emperor Wen. For the sake of the Sui Dynasty, we have planned a plan for the two dragons to fight for the throne. This is a matter of stirring up the fate of the country. If it succeeds, I can break the shackles of heaven and man and be promoted to the realm of martial saint."

"Unfortunately, after your majesty succeeded, your character changed drastically. The Great Sui Dynasty was in turmoil, and I, an old minister, suffered a backlash. My martial saint origin was disturbed, and today, because of my son's reckless behavior, he has long died. Therefore, I, an old minister, risked my life just now, and only beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me and give my son a glimmer of hope."

After saying this, Yang Su banged his head on the ground again and kowtowed.

Speaking of ruthlessness, it’s those politicians who are ruthless. They can be ruthless to themselves and even endure all kinds of humiliation just to achieve their goals.

The initial sincerity dispelled some of Empress Xiao's wariness.

Then he started to "act" and explained that his son's rebellion had nothing to do with him.

In the end, he just pretended and pushed himself to the point of being on the verge of death. Even when Empress Xiao used the power of Luoyang, there was no sign of illusion at all.

This series of performances made Empress Xiao lose all her guard.

For quite a while.

Empress Xiao couldn't bear it after all, so she said, "Well, I will go with Lord Su. I just hope that Lord Chu can turn back from his wrong path and stop doing rebellious things in the future."

After saying this, Empress Xiao ordered the palace maids to begin preparing the imperial carriage.

Not long after, with Yang Su, who was extremely weak, leading the way, the empress's carriage came out of the palace, passed through Luoyang City, and arrived at the top of the city wall.

Luoyang City is still within the scope of Luoyang City.

With Empress Xiao here, even if the power of Luoyang that can be mobilized is slightly weakened, she can still be said to be almost invincible and can suppress everything at will.

When they arrived at the top of Luoyang City, Minister of War Liu Shu, Vice Minister of Works Yuwen Kai, Vice Minister of Imperial Household Yuan Yan and others soon came to meet the emperor. These people were also the main generals in charge of the city defense.

There was no other way. Yang Guang went on an expedition to Guangdong and took away almost all the best generals of the Sui Dynasty.

The defense of Luoyang City could only be presided over by these ministers who were almost prime ministers.

Seeing everyone coming, Yang Su inadvertently exchanged a glance with Yuwen Kai, then bowed to Empress Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, please take him with you for now. I will go to the camp under the city and bring that evil boy here. I will ask him to hand over the tiger talisman and surrender."

Empress Xiao did not notice anything wrong, so she waved her hand and said, "Master Su, please go!"

Yang Su thanked him again, then bowed and left.

However, at the moment when Yang Su turned around, Yuwen Kai had already secretly sent out a secret signal, and many craftsmen responsible for repairing the city defenses all took action and hammered on the nodes of the city defense formation.

hum!

In an instant, the walls of Luoyang City began to hum softly, and the battle formation was momentarily disordered, causing the entire Luoyang City's spiritual rhythm of heaven and earth to be turbulent for a moment.

It was just a moment, and for ordinary people, it was just one or two blinks of an eye.

But for a martial saint like Yang Su, this period of time is enough to accomplish a lot.

However, Yang Su, who was originally dying, suddenly became more powerful, and then the true energy in the sky enveloped Empress Xiao and Yuwen Kai, and they jumped down from the Luoyang City like lightning.

The moment Yang Su took Empress Xiao and Yuwen Kai away from the top of Luoyang City, the spiritual charm of heaven and earth in Luoyang City returned to normal again.

However, at this time, Empress Xiao was already outside Luoyang City.

Chapter 7: Empress Xiao, the true disciple of Yinkui Sect?

It was a shocking change that no one had expected. The situation in Luoyang City was unstable for just a moment, which allowed that old villain Yang Su to kidnap the Queen and the Minister of Works and take them out of the city on the spot.

But at this time Luoyang was empty, and Yang Guang took away almost all the good ministers and brave generals.

There were hundreds of thousands of civilians outside Luoyang City, as well as Yang Xuangan, known as the Little Overlord of the Sui Dynasty, and his 100,000-strong army of thunder and lightning. The people in Luoyang City did not dare to go out of the city to rescue people.

at the same time.

Yang Su, bleeding from all seven orifices, brought Empress Xiao and Yuwen Kai with him and quickly arrived at the tent where Lu Miaozi was.

"Brother Yuwen, it's been a long time since we last met!"

"Brother Lu, long time no see."

One is the world's number one eccentric, the other is the world's number one master. As soon as Lu Miaozi and Yuwen Kai met, they hugged each other happily, full of gay love.

For quite a while.

Yang Su was dying just now and said: "Old man Lu, stop making a fuss, save me, save me quickly."

In Luoyang City, the acting is real, and the damage to the origin is also real.

If Yang Su was not really seriously injured and on the verge of death, he would not be able to hide it from Empress Xiao, who was empowered by the power of Luoyang, and there was also the sudden explosion on the top of the Luoyang city wall.

With injuries on top of injuries, Yang Su is now really about to die.

Seeing Yang Su's miserable appearance, Lu Miaozi burst out laughing and said, "It turns out that His Highness had already predicted that an old man like you would have such a disaster. His Highness is really a wise man."

As he spoke, Lu Miaozi took out a jade bottle from his arms.

As soon as you pull out the cork of the bottle, instantly, an endless amount of exotic fragrance fills the room, and people will feel full of energy after just one whiff.

This bottle of elixir is the life-saving item given to Lu Miaozi by Yang Zhao.

Lu Miaozi's statement that Yang Zhao was a genius was nonsense.

After acquiring the Pegasus Ranch, Yang Zhao gave her a bottle of life-saving elixir because of Lu Miaozi's magical skills and the fact that Lu Miaozi had always tried to bring her daughter Shang Xiuxun to Yang Zhao's side.

Unexpectedly, this life-saving elixir was used on Yang Su.

With the life-saving elixir, Yang Su finally recovered. Although his injuries were still very serious, with his martial arts skills, he would be able to recover quickly as long as he did not fight for a short period of time.

Wait until Yang Su recovers.

Empress Xiao snorted coldly and looked at Yang Su fiercely, saying, "Mr. Su is really good at scheming. He colluded with both insiders and outsiders and secretly communicated with Yuwen Kai for several years, just to succeed today. He is really good at scheming."

"Mr. Su, congratulations, you succeeded. This Luoyang City, this world, is yours."

Without the support of Luoyang's power, Empress Xiao was very self-aware. She did not take action in the military camp, nor did she lose her temper. Instead, she watched coldly, trying her best to maintain her posture and dignity as the Empress of the Sui Dynasty in a sarcastic way.

Yang Su recovered a little, tidied his appearance, and faced Empress Xiao without showing any disrespect. Instead, he maintained the attitude of a subject and said, "Your Majesty, do you really think that I am here to seize the world? If that were the case, my son's army would have entered the city ten days ago."

There is nothing wrong with what you said.

With an insider like Yuwen Kai in charge of the city's defense, it was really easy to open the city gates and let the army into the city.

If an army of 100,000 were to enter the city and mingle with high-ranking officials, common people, and others in Luoyang City, even if Empress Xiao had the power of Luoyang to bless her, it would be difficult for her to wipe out the disorderly army. At most, she could only rely on the power of Luoyang to defend the palace.

Empress Xiao was speechless after what Yang Su said, and then she looked at Yuwen Kai with an extremely sharp gaze and said, "Master Yuwen, my husband and I have always been very kind to you. We entrusted you with the tasks of resting in Chang'an, building the Eastern Capital, and digging the Grand Canal. We also helped you rise to the top and become the Minister of Works. Why did you betray me?"

As the world's number one craftsman, Yuwen Kai also has a very bad temper.

Facing Empress Xiao's rebuke, Yuwen Kai snorted coldly, showing even more stubbornness than Yang Su, and said unhappily: "Empress Xiao, you said this yourself, do you believe it?"

"I have suggested to the emperor that the people of Guanzhong should be forced to work in turn and given money. This would allow Chang'an to be renovated in the same time frame. But what did Yang Guang do? He agreed to my request and then summoned the people of the country to the capital. This is a disaster for the country and the people."

"I have suggested that the construction of the Eastern Capital can be divided into three phases: the Imperial City, the Inner City, and the Outer City. The construction period only needs to be extended by three years, and Luoyang can be completed without affecting the lives of the people. How did Yang Guang do it?"

"I once said to the emperor that digging a canal was a major national project that would take more than a decade to complete. But what did Yang Guang do? He ordered me to produce a blueprint for the canal. If I didn't, he would kill my whole family and exterminate my entire clan. Do you think he treated me well?"

"The three major projects have affected more than a million people, and the countless dead bodies are all my sins."

"If I have the chance, I will personally strangle this evil dragon that I created. I am not afraid to tell you clearly that Yang Guang's death is approaching."

Yuwen Kai's fierce and angry scolding stunned Empress Xiao, who was speechless.

Because what Yuwen Kai said was all true.

After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he wanted to demonstrate his majesty and power. He built thousands of projects and also launched expeditions to the east and west. It is true that he brought disaster to the country and the people.

There was silence in the tent for a long time.

Empress Xiao seemed to have lost her temper as well, and asked, "Have you three surrendered to His Royal Highness Prince Zhao?"

Empress Xiao was a woman who knew the times and was reasonable.

Knowing that she was wrong and being in a dilemma, Empress Xiao did not address Yang Zhao disrespectfully. Instead, she showed some signs of submission.

Lu Miaozi said, "Yes, this time when my nephew Xuan Gan surrounded Luoyang, we wanted to cut off the evil dragon luck that we created with our own hands in the past, cut off Luoyang's earth energy, intercept Yang Guang's national luck, and seal the reflection of the three spheres."

Empress Xiao knew the purpose of building Luoyang City, and even presided over the power of Luoyang for a long time.
