I am the magnetic field maniac

September 10th, Mid-Autumn Festival...

This is supposed to be a festival of reunion and celebration, but in Luoyang at this time, there is no festive atmosphere.

Because the army of Li Mi from Wagangzhai had already approached the outskirts of the Eastern Capital, and after breaking through Huiluo Cang, they cut off the food supply route to Luoyang. The Wagang army already had a total of 200,000 soldiers...

It is said that Li Mi was also preparing to convene a meeting to announce the ten major crimes of the Sui emperor, completely trampling on the reputation of the Sui Dynasty.

Rumors were spreading in the city. Some said that the tyrant had fled to Jiangdu... Some said that the Sui Emperor was ready to abdicate. Some said that the world would soon be ruled by the Li family.

But whether they were scholars from aristocratic families or ordinary people, they seemed to suddenly realize that they had not seen the emperor for a long time.

Dugu Mansion

The Dugu Mansion, which occupies half of the land, is the Dugu family's "second home" in Luoyang.

Looking at the entire Luoyang city, only the old house of the Yuwen family is bigger than theirs.

The Dugu family is undoubtedly one of the largest families in the world... because Yang Guang's mother was called Dugu Qieluo, because the Dugu family was once one of the Eight Pillars of the State, and because the Dugu family was born aristocrat.

No matter who becomes the emperor, the Dugu family's position cannot be shaken. Everyone in the Dugu family, including the young Dugu Ce, the Dugu family's "number one master", agrees with this.

Yang Guang's rotten tree is about to die, so the Dugu family will certainly not rely on this locust tree that is about to be lost.

Dugu Ce was an arrogant man, so when Yang Guang cowered in Luoyang for many days...

When Yang Guang said that he would discuss moving the capital to Jiangdu with all the loyal ministers and clan leaders today, he was left with only contempt for this foolish monarch.

Look at that thing. It looks exactly like a dog.

But despite this, the Dugu family still had to put on a good show. Facing the invitation from the palace, the Dugu family had to show enough sincerity.

The old lady of the Dugu family, You Chuhong, and the head of the family, Dugu Feng, will go to the palace, accompanied by Dugu Ce. The eldest daughter, Dugu Feng, was supposed to go as well, but gave up the plan because the little girl sneaked out of Luoyang on her own.

But even if it's a little impolite, so what?

The Yang family was no longer worthy of the Dugu family's respect, so what if they were "relatives"? The only respect they could offer was a choice between a three-foot white silk and a bowl of poisoned wine.

But Yang Guang only brought it upon himself. He was only seeking his own death by falling to this point!

Who made him actually want to let a group of poor peasants climb over the heads of their noble family!

He will definitely suffer the consequences for his reckless behavior!

But who would have thought that this foolish monarch would be so stubborn. He launched three expeditions to Goguryeo, and the three failures also brought the dynasty to ruin. But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter!

Their family will still stand firm, and those who died will only be those insignificant and untouchable people!

And their family will continue for thousands of years!

And the emperor? He was just a scapegoat, just like Yang Guang.

Now everyone in the world only knows that he is a tyrant who did evil things, a despot comparable to Jie and Zhou, and a beast whose flesh countless people in the world want to eat and sleep on.

The reason he was able to survive was not because of the masters of the imperial guards, but because the aristocratic family allowed him to survive.

Even if it's a dog, shouldn't its last value be utilized before it is killed?

Even the emperor is like this.

The sun was setting. In this late autumn, the courtyard of the Dugu family looked particularly desolate with leaves drifting and falling. At some point, Yang Guang's attendant had arrived. He said to Dugu Feng and Dugu Ce beside him in a deep voice...

"Your Majesty, please do not miss the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner today."

"Humph, got it." Dugu Ce waved his sleeves arrogantly, looking at Wei Lianxiang with only disgust in his eyes...

"You eunuch, get out of here right now and don't pollute my Dugu family's place here!"

Dugu Feng's eyes flickered, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with his son's rude behavior. But he did not stop him, nor did he refute his words...

Wei Lianxiang didn't care. He just glanced at the mansion and said quietly...

"I heard that Miss Dugu left Luoyang alone the day before yesterday? What a pity, it's really such a pity..."

After saying that, Wei Lianxiang turned around and slowly left the Dugu family's mansion. The faint and uncomfortable voice gradually faded away.

Soon, as night fell, many ministers gathered outside the imperial city.

The ministers who remained in Luoyang at this moment could not be called loyal ministers or good generals... but at least they still had some attachment and reluctance towards the Sui Dynasty.

Or perhaps, they just knew that once they left here, they would no longer be high-ranking officials or people close to the emperor. Once they left here, they would be just lowly commoners.

Outside the palace walls, these ministers were talking to each other, in an excited manner, and seemed to be trying to persuade the emperor to listen to their "good advice".

Moving the river is necessary, and relying on the powerful families is also necessary... If possible, the emperor should do nothing and let virtuous people like Guan Zhong save this land in crisis.

Of course, apart from these "virtuous men", the entire court was roughly divided into two camps.

The old city of Northern Zhou, which was subservient to the Yuwen clan, was close to the Dugu clan, a royal family of three dynasties, and the clean ministers headed by Pei Yun and Su Wei.

Of course, there are still those spies from Buddhism, Taoism and the Demonic Sect who have sneaked in here.

Looking at these people, one can see that the Sui Dynasty was already worm-eaten from the root.

Perhaps it was because Yang Jian came to power in an illegitimate way that it was only natural that he ended up in such a situation.

With a heavy sound, the imperial city's vermilion gate slowly opened, and the twelve guards stood on both sides without saying a word...

Dugu Feng looked strangely at Yuwen Shang, who had been silent all the time, and frowned.

Although I heard that Yu Wenzhi was killed by a group of gangsters in Yangzhou, I didn't expect that the one who survived was Yu Wenshang?

I also heard that the Yuwen family seemed to have encountered an accident when they went to hunt down those gangsters?

Dugu Feng was not aware of all this, because it would take time for the news to reach Luoyang.

Sometimes, the information in the world is very smooth, and sometimes, it is very blocked.

Dugu Feng took the first step, and his son supported his trembling old grandmother beside him. They and Yuwen Shang walked into the magnificent walls of Luoyang Palace like the heads of hundreds of officials commanding all the ministers.

Walking through the magnificent palace, passing by the golden dragon pillar that required five people to hug, all the officials stood in their respective seats obediently... and on the high dragon throne sat the "master" of this country.

On the Dragon Platform, Yang Guang sat motionless on the Dragon Chair. His face was no longer pale, his expression was no longer angry and resentful, and he was wearing the golden dragon robe, just like the high-spirited emperor ten years ago.

In an instant, Dugu Feng actually felt that Yang Guang had regained his original majesty.

"My dear ministers, I still want to invite you to the palace to be with me during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I feel ashamed for wasting your time with your family."

Yang Guang looked at the pillars of the country below, spread out his dragon robe, and smiled calmly...

"Especially the two beloved ministers Yuwen and Dugu, the two pillars of the Sui Dynasty, must be very busy."

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I have always been a candidate for participation." Dugu Feng bowed slightly and said calmly...

"Since you have nothing to do, how about doing me a favor?" Yang Guang stroked his chin and grinned a cruel and sarcastic smile...

"I heard that Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple hold the lost Heshi Bi... and are preparing to select an emperor in Luoyang City today to protect the people of the world and pacify the troubled times. How about you go on my behalf?"

Dugu Feng cursed inwardly in his heart, those bald nuns were really up to no good.

If Yang Guang was willing to return to Daxing last year, it would be fine. He could have taken a dragon boat to Jiangdu. But Yang Guang stayed in Luoyang, and those nuns dared to "select the emperor" in Jingnian Temple!

They are so arrogant! It's okay to oppose this tyrant, but as long as he is still in power, he is still the emperor. These bald people are so stupid to choose a new emperor under the emperor's feet!

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. They are just a group of arrogant bald men." Dugu Feng tried to fool them. After all, even the Dugu family didn't want to provoke the Buddhist sect...

"Haha, the emperor chooses the emperor from under his feet. This is not an ordinary bald man." Yang Guang sneered

"Forget it. Since Dugu Qing is unwilling to help, I won't force you."

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

Before Yang Guang could finish his words, with a sharp and shrill voice, Minister Yu Shiqi stood out from the queue, clasped his hands together and said sternly to Yang Guang...

"I want to report to Your Majesty!"

As soon as Yu Shiji said this, many ministers around him directly distanced themselves from this suicidal guy.

Although Yang Guang has now declined, as long as he is still on the throne, he still has the power of life and death over these upright ministers!

"Ha, my dear minister, are you going to impeach me? That's really new. Why don't you just speak frankly?"

However, Yang Guang's behavior was shocking. This emperor who seemed to have been incompetent for half his life actually laughed without caring, looked at his Jinzi Guanglu doctor, and said with a smile...

"Your Majesty, I know your difficulties. The failure of the three expeditions to Goguryeo was not due to the war. However, your Majesty's fault lies in starting the imperial examination! We are incompetent and do not have the virtues of our ancestors, but the way of the sage cannot be reversed!

The world is in turmoil today, and the people are alienated!

It's all because of your majesty's mistake in starting the imperial examination! All the officials in the court are extremely talented. If the empire is ruled by wise men from aristocratic families, your majesty will rule the country with ease. The world will be peaceful and the thieves like Li Mi and Du Fuwei will not be able to do this!"

Yu Shiji's words were nodded in approval by many ministers in the court. Dugu Feng and Dugu Sheng nodded repeatedly, as if they were the words of a sage.

"Hahaha, I finally understand! My dear minister, what you mean is that the Great Sui Dynasty has fallen to this point because I opened the imperial examination and recruited children from poor families?"

Yang Guangda smiled as he looked at the serious Yu Shiji. Looking at those so-called loyal ministers and generals, he could hardly suppress the murderous intent in his heart...

"Well said, very well said! I finally understand that the biggest traitors in this court are you, the loyal ministers who serve the country and the people!"

Yang Guangda laughed, laughed wildly, laughed as if he seemed to suffocate, laughed as if he seemed to die on the spot!

His words undoubtedly caused an uproar among the ministers below. The next moment, You Chuhong beside Dugu Feng suddenly opened her closed eyes!

"Since you are so keen on following Confucius' words, I'd like to trouble you to go down and accompany him!"

20. Kill all the court officials and burn Luoyang

The ancient emperors called themselves "Gu". After the First Emperor Ying Zheng, they called themselves "Zhen".

However, in reality, compared to the title "朕" which was created by Ying Zheng to distinguish himself from other kings, the title "孤" can better reveal the essence of the king.

The emperor is a lonely man. It is lonely at the top, no one helps him at the top, and he is a lonely person at the pinnacle of power.

Yang Guang once believed that being alone was a symbol of the pinnacle of power, and that those who wielded power did not need anyone to share with them. But now, Yang Guang had a new understanding.

The so-called lonely person...

"Even if I am alone, I am enough to kill all of you traitors!"

Along with Yang Guang's unrestrained roar, an extremely terrifying and righteous aura burst out from his body, suppressing the entire hall!

That extremely terrifying righteous energy has completely achieved the opposite effect.

The so-called righteous path, when it reaches its ultimate state, is undoubtedly the same as the evil path!

Yang Guang laughed wildly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yu Shiji in his palm. Looking at this Jin Zi Guang Lu doctor, Yang Guang injected the power obtained from the Heavenly Crystal into his body in great fear!

The true energy of benevolence, justice, and grandeur was driven by Yang Guang's extremely twisted mind. Under the extremely concentrated and terrifying suppression, it flowed into Yu Shiji's body, mind, and soul!

He screamed, and "melted" in the horrified eyes of countless ministers. The man's appearance was distorted, and all his facial features were lost, leaving only a bloody mouth that stretched from ear to ear. The blank flesh was strangely slender, and the terrifying shape made people uncomfortable, but it carried a noble spirit that only great scholars and virtuous people could possess.

"Since you like the words of the saints so much, then do it!"

As Yang Guang laughed wildly, the monster transformed by Yu Shiji exuded his righteous spirit and recited "The Analects of Confucius" aloud... His mutant limbs, as sharp as blades, directly killed many ministers nearby!

"The Master said: If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening!"

"You evil creature, you must be killed!!"

Dugu Ce, who could not bear this horrifying scene, roared and rushed out, using the Dugu family's secret Bi Luo Hong Chen sword technique, drawing a beautiful sword arc to kill the monster that Yu Shiji had turned into!

However, the sword blade, which was sharp enough to cut through steel, only left an extremely shallow white mark on the monster's horrible skin.

Dugu Ce's face changed drastically, but before he could say anything, the pale mutant limbs penetrated directly into his mouth and tore out of his lower body!

"Confucius said: When your parents are still alive, do not travel far away, and if you travel, you must have a plan!!"

The monster that Yu Shiji turned into dragged out a sharp voice that made people's eardrums hurt. He spoke Confucius' Analects, but committed extremely cruel atrocities.

“Cer!!”

Dugu Feng was so angry that his eyes were about to burst, and he almost rushed up to fight with Yang Guang. But You Chuhong held her son tightly, and her old face looked at the laughing Yang Guang with an extremely solemn look!

"Since you are so loyal to me, then you can be my sword slaves."

Yang Guang looked at the trembling ministers and laughed loudly...

"You tyrant, you are doing evil things, and you will not have a good end!" Su Wei pointed at Yang Guang and shrieked with trembling fingers...

"Ha, I know I won't have a good ending. But before I go to hell, I will definitely take all of you with me." Yang Guang grinned.

"A lonely person doesn't need anyone. He only needs himself, and that's enough."

At this time, Dugu Feng and his group of clansmen were ready to force their way through the hall and leave, but the next moment they heard a sound of soldiers fighting, and it turned out that the Yuwen clan led a team to surround the hall!

Dugu Feng looked solemn but relieved. Although being surrounded by Yuwen family's soldiers was not a good thing, it was at least much better than facing this weird and terrifying Demon Lord!

However, the horrific scene happened again.
