Chapter 599: Sui Kingdom Imperial Court

And with the arrival of Xun Yu and the others, in less than five days, all seven cities on Ryukyu Island had implemented the various national policies of the Great Han.

Under the various beneficial treatments of the Great Han, the commoners who had long been oppressed by the various taxes and corvée labor of the Sui Kingdom completely accepted the Great Han, and they also completely integrated into the Great Han.

On everyone's face, a smile appeared, which was their yearning and longing for their future life.

Moreover, Xun Yu and the others also taught them the most basic martial arts of the Great Han.

It is believed that before long, after their strength improves slightly and their physique is strengthened, their future life will be even more beautiful.

And at the same time, the fact that there had been no news from Ryukyu Island for a long time also attracted the attention of the Sui Kingdom.

One month later, the Eastern Capital of the Sui Kingdom, Luoyang.

The news of the loss of contact with Ryukyu, after a month, finally reached the ears of Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang.

In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, in the Qianyang Hall, the grand hall of the court assembly of Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang, a group of civil and military officials of the Sui Kingdom gathered together.

They had also heard the news of the loss of contact with Ryukyu Island, and at this moment, they were summoned by Yang Guang.

And these civil and military officials were waiting calmly.

Soon, the thirty-something-year-old Yang Guang arrived in the Qianyang Hall and sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face.

Seeing Yang Guang's gloomy face, the officials all knew what had happened and hurriedly bowed to Yang Guang:

"This subordinate pays respects to His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live, long live!"

If it were normal times, Yang Guang would be somewhat happy to see this scene, but at this moment, he no longer had the mood.

Looking at the officials crawling on the ground below, his face looked even uglier.

In the vast Sui Kingdom, Ryukyu Island had lost contact for so long, and yet no one knew what was going on.

Immediately, he waved his hand at the officials and said coldly:

"All rise!"

"This subordinate thanks His Majesty!"

After the crowd stood up, everyone did not dare to breathe, fearing that this fire would burn onto themselves.

Taking in the expressions of the officials, Yang Guang said coldly with a gloomy face:

"A month ago, Ryukyu lost contact, and until now, no one has found out what is going on!"

"Moreover, the life and death of Cavalry Commandant Zhu Kuan and Navy Commander He Man are unknown. I did not expect that such a major event would happen within my Great Sui territory."

At this moment, Yang Guang, who had received the news, was angrily scolding the civil and military officials in the hall.

Seeing Yang Guang get angry, the officials were all terrified and knelt on the ground, shouting in unison:

"This subordinate is incompetent! Please forgive His Majesty!"

Don't look at Yang Guang, who was usually muddled and fond of beauty, but in this court, seeing Yang Guang get angry, the officials were still somewhat timid.

At this moment, hearing Yang Guang's angry questioning, the officials crawled on the ground again, shouting endlessly.

"Hmph!"

"You say it well, my Great Sui inexplicably lost a piece of territory, and until now, we don't even know how it was lost or who the enemy is. You tell me how I can calm my anger!"

"Prime Minister Yuwen, do you know how Ryukyu was lost?"

Seeing that no one dared to speak among the officials, Yang Guang asked Prime Minister Yuwen Huaji angrily.

Hearing this, Yuwen Huaji, who was kneeling on the ground, replied to Yang Guang in terror:

"Reporting to His Majesty, this subordinate is ashamed. Currently, I have not received any news from Ryukyu."

"However, please rest assured, Your Majesty, this subordinate has already ordered the Quanzhou Prefect Wang Xin to investigate this matter!"

"I believe that before long, there will be news coming."

However, Yang Guang was obviously not very satisfied with this answer. Seeing Yang Guang's response to Yuwen Huaji, he scolded him:

"By the time you investigate clearly, Ryukyu will no longer be the territory of Great Sui."

"Since the enemy dares to attack Ryukyu, that is challenging the majesty of my Great Sui."

"Which beloved minister is willing to share my worries and lead the army to Ryukyu to crusade against the rebels?"

Hearing Yang Guang's words, no one among the officials dared to speak.

"Look at you, these are the officials of my Great Sui. When things happen, no one can take on a major responsibility. Like this, how can you share my worries!"

Seeing that no one responded again, Yang Guang shouted angrily with a stern tone.

"Your Majesty, leading the army to crusade is a matter for martial generals. We are just civil officials, even if we want to share your worries, we are powerless!"

At this moment, Prime Minister Yuwen Huaji said to Yang Guang respectfully.

In fact, he was already so happy that he was about to die. He wished that the Sui Kingdom would be as chaotic as possible.

As long as the Sui Kingdom was chaotic, wouldn't the opportunity for his Yuwen family come!

If the Sui Kingdom were not chaotic, how could they plot major events? And this unknown force that appeared this time was exactly a heaven-sent opportunity.

And a group of civil officials, after hearing Yuwen Huaji's words, suddenly gained confidence and said to Yang Guang with a firm face:

"That's right, Your Majesty, leading the army to crusade is a matter for martial generals, we really shouldn't mess around!"

"Moreover, the details of the enemy are unknown, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Hearing the words of Yuwen Huaji and a group of civil officials, Yang Guang turned his gaze to a group of martial generals and asked coldly:

"Generals, who among you is willing to share my worries and lead the army to annihilate the rebels!"

Following Yang Guang's words, a group of martial generals looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, Ryukyu is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the entire island is surrounded by the sea."

"If the enemy army really occupies Ryukyu Island, our army must dispatch a navy to go."

"Therefore, this subordinate recommends Quanzhou Navy Commander Zhu Jie to go. Firstly, Zhu Jie himself is in Quanzhou, which is closest to Ryukyu."

"Secondly, the Quanzhou navy has one hundred thousand people, and Zhu Jie is even more powerful, a powerhouse at the Martial Ancestor Eighth Heaven realm. Having him lead the army to crusade is most appropriate!"

At this moment, a middle-aged martial general in the row of martial generals said to Yang Guang respectfully. This person was the Sui Kingdom's Upper General Yang Yichen, and also one of the top-ranked generals under Yang Guang.

"What do you think of the Upper General's suggestion?"

Hearing Yang Guang's inquiry, everyone replied in unison:

"This subordinate agrees!"

Just kidding, their relationship with Zhu Jie was not that good. As long as it was not themselves going, they all agreed with both hands.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Yang Guang also nodded slightly and immediately said to the crowd:

"Since that is the case, then tell Zhu Jie to lead the one hundred thousand Quanzhou navy to crusade against Ryukyu Island."

"I only have one requirement. If anyone really dares to invade Ryukyu Island, no matter who it is, I want them to die without a burial place!"

Hearing this, everyone's expression was shocked. They could clearly feel the rich murderous aura emanating from Yang Guang.

Everyone in their hearts understood that Yang Guang wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, so as to deter those who were ready to move. ===== CHAPTER 600 =====
