The hall was shrouded in clouds and mist. There were many dark shadows in the mist. The sound of the neighing of war horses and the sound of armor clashing could be faintly heard. However, the footsteps sounded sonorous and powerful. They were obviously well-trained elites. Soon,
Countless men and horses seemed to appear in front of Yang Guang. These men were tall and dressed in armor. The leader looked fierce and held an iron staff. When he saw Yang Guang in front of him, he immediately fell to the ground and shouted long live the mountain.
"Chen Mai Tiezhang led his generals to pay homage to His Majesty."
"Greetings to Your Majesty, His Majesty's Holy Peace."
The millions of soldiers behind him fell to the ground and shouted long live the mountain.
Yang Guang looked at everything in front of him calmly. This was not the first time, but the third time. Every night at night, Yang Guang always appeared in his sleep. Countless soldiers fell to the ground and shouted, "Long live the mountains."
, it made him very happy at first, but now it makes his hair stand on end.
"It's passed down by Yu Shiji." Yang Guang's face darkened.
Yu Shiji was very depressed during this period. He used to be a high-ranking official, but now, although he has a high official position, he has no power in his hands. He just relaxes at home every day and learns the skills of Huang Lao.
Unexpectedly, one day, an imperial edict came down from the sky and brought him to a familiar palace. When he saw the young man, he could still see his old appearance and couldn't help but kneel on the ground and burst into tears.
Yang Guang frowned when he saw this, and had to deny that in terms of loyalty, there was really no one in the civil and military circles who could compare to Yu Shiji. Unfortunately, his reputation was too bad.
"Why are you crying? Sit down! Talk properly. Look what you have become." Yang Guang snorted coldly.
This is what Yu Shiji did. The emperor was angry with you, not because he was really angry, but because he was showing his closeness to you. Yu Shiji quickly sat down and said, "I haven't seen your Majesty for many days. I'm rude."
"Seeing that you have worked hard these years, I'll let you rest a little longer. I didn't expect you to have fallen to this level. Humph, it seems that I can't let you continue to act like this. Go to the Ministry of Finance tomorrow!" Yang Guang looked at the other party.
For the sake of loyalty, I still gave him a position.
"I thank your Majesty for your grace." Yu Shiji was overjoyed and quickly prostrated himself on the ground, shouting "Long live the emperor."
"Okay, I asked you to come here today to consult on a matter and listen to your ideas." Yang Guang explained the matter again and then said: "It doesn't matter once or twice, but tonight is already the third time.
Come on. Tell me, what should we do about this matter?"
After hearing this, Yu Shiji understood why Yang Guang was looking for him. He thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, I think what Fang Xuanling and others said is reasonable. It is inappropriate to send troops to the east at this time."
"I don't know that this is inappropriate. It's just that millions of soldiers appear in my dreams every day, making it impossible for me to sleep peacefully at night. What should I do?" Yang Guang felt very helpless.
Behind this was a powerful man who was taking action. Unless he was allowed to launch an expedition to the east and solve Goguryeo, there seemed to be no other way. He came to Yu Shiji because he actually wanted to see if Yu Shiji, the slanderer, had any other ways.
"Your Majesty, when I was in the south of the Yangtze River, I once heard that some people offered sacrifices to the city god, which was actually a way to obtain titles. I think you can try it." Yu Shiji thought for a while and said.
"City God? What is a City God?" Yang Guang had heard about the theory of City God in later generations, but he still asked.
"City God is actually the Yin official corresponding to the Yang official in the imperial court, who is responsible for the major and minor underworld affairs in the region. The City God in various places is appointed by different people, and is even elected by the local people themselves. The selection criteria are loyal men who died for the country.
, or an upright and intelligent historical figure." Yu Shiji explained: "I believe that the folk theory is nothing more than a temple for private worship, but if your Majesty can canonize the generals as city gods, these generals will definitely protect the Sui Dynasty.
years, and can also solve this matter."
"City God's Temple?" After hearing this, Yang Guang's face suddenly showed joy.
"Yes, I think this matter can be handled." Yu Shiji's face showed joy. He saw that Yang Guang was in a good mood and said quickly.
"What Yu Qing said is true. Not only our soldiers in the Sui Dynasty, but also the soldiers who died in the future can also participate in it. Generals and ministers from all dynasties can also participate in it." Yang Guang said with a smile on his face.
: "Starting from the county, Yu Qing can meet with the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War will make arrangements for this matter. The sages and generals must be canonized within a short period of time."
"I accept the decree." Yu Shiji was very happy. This was a good thing for accumulating negative virtue, and it could also share the emperor's worries.
"The city god should also be like the government offices in various places. He should set up official positions, civil and military judges, great gods of each department, General Ganliu, General Fan Xie, General Ox and Horse, God of Day and Night Wanderers, General Shackles and other gods. Soldiers who died in battle will serve as divine soldiers and guards.
Every place is safe, specializing in killing evil gods and ghosts. There are county magistrates, county guards, and city gods in the underworld. In this way, our rule in various places in the Sui Dynasty can be stable." Yang Guang is very satisfied, regardless of whether this matter can be achieved well or not.
As long as the city god system can be improved, the rule of the Sui Dynasty can be improved.
"Your Majesty is wise, I just casually mentioned that your Majesty has already perfected the city god system. I believe those sages who have been granted the title will definitely be loyal to your Majesty." Yu Shiji was also surprised. He did not expect Yang Guang to be able to do so in such a short period of time.
Improving the city god system is not something that just anyone can do.
"City God's Temple!" Yang Guang took the ink pen and wrote three words on the white paper in front of him.
The void shook for an instant, and in the dark night, a ray of colorful light fell from the sky and submerged into Yang Guang's sea of consciousness.
Yang Guang felt that his mind was clear for a while, but he had no other feelings. Instead, he heard a sound of dragon roar coming from his ears. The Great Sui Luck Divine Dragon hovering over Chang'an City soared by dozens of feet, vividly appearing among the auspicious clouds.
He was rolling around and looked very energetic.
In Chang'an City, at Da Ci'en Temple, Fahai was stunned by what he saw. Colorful rays of light bloomed in the void and submerged into the palace. This was clearly the power of merit. Such a huge power of merit was very rare. He could kill the demon by himself.
Until now, I have not gained so many merits from slaying demons.
"Your Majesty, what have you done to make such a great contribution to heaven and earth?" Monk Fahai looked uncertain. Only by making a great contribution to heaven and earth can he receive so much merit.
recognition between heaven and earth.
On Mount Zhongnan, in the cave sky, a handsome immortal was also struck by the colorful rays of light in Chang'an City.
"The Emperor of the Sui Dynasty is really not simple." Yun Zhongzi was curious. He counted with his fingers and his face tightened.
