Facing the bronze mirror.

Yang Guang couldn't help but start thinking about why he ended up in this field.

Yang Xuangan and Li Mi, who were born in the Guanlong aristocracy, were against him, and Pei Yun, Yu Shiji, and Pei Shiju, who were from the Jiangnan and Guandong clans who were unusually promoted, deceived him, and those reckless people Zhang Jin said that Gao Shida was not mentioned, but now even the Luo Cheng brothers are against him.

A cool autumn breeze blew, and the emperor felt a little drowsy, and he coughed a few times.

Before the succession of succession, the emperor had been in Jiangdu for nine years, and his best years were here, which was the easiest and happiest time in his life, and it was also a comfortable time. He has long been accustomed to the climate here, especially the autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, which is not as dry as the north, which always makes him comfortable.

But now, he is a little annoyed by the weather in Jianghuai.

He wanted to go back to Luoyang, wanted to patrol Guanzhong, and even wanted to go to Saibei again, to Liaodong, and to the Western Regions.

But now, he can't go anywhere.

Luo Cheng finally reversed.

Du Fuwei raised troops in Jiangnan, and actually raised troops to make trouble in the name of the Qing monarch's side, and took the Jiangnan pacification envoy seal letter he conferred, and now occupies Xuancheng, Biling, Wujun and other cities. Du Fuwei even commanded 20,000 soldiers and horses, stationed in Jingkou, collected ships in all directions, and put on a posture of crossing the river to attack Jiangdu.

Yang Guang didn't expect this Du Fuwei to call or not, he regretted that he didn't listen to Xiao Yu at the beginning, so he shouldn't have given Du Fuwei's damn pacification envoy a letter, but not only did not deceive Du Fuwei to Jiangdu, but gave him the convenience of rebellion. With this seal, this damn person still doesn't know how many people have been deceived, and now he is openly committing rebellion in the name of the Qing monarch.

Du Fuwei is Luo Cheng's fellow countryman, and he is a sworn friend who has followed him for many years, and now he is in turmoil, if he says that he has no Luo Cheng's instructions, he will never believe it.

The blue sky, without the slightest cloud, looks so high and blue.

But Duvowe is not the worst news.

The urgent report that had just been delivered by the fast horse said that Mayi Ying Yanglang had killed Liu Wu and the governor Wang Rengong had rebelled, and had proclaimed himself the governor of Mayi, and divided his troops to occupy the three counties of Loufu, Mayi, and Yanmen, and had Daibei and threatened Taiyuan.

There is no good news, but there is a steady stream of bad news.

Liu Wuzhou's rebellion must be the same as Du Fuwei's rebellion. Liu Wuzhou also served under Luo Cheng, and although he later left Liaodong, he is said to have revered Luo Cheng.

In front of the emperor's palace, there were more than 100 beautiful girls from all over the world, all of them were young and beautiful, all unmarried girls between the ages of fourteen and sixteen, with innocent family backgrounds and beautiful appearances.

Some of these people are from Jiangnan, some are from Huainan, some are from Henan, and some are from Shannan, and they have changed into a uniform style of palace gauze skirt, with a high-waisted skirt tied directly to the chest and armpits, shawls draped over their shoulders, and their hair coiled up.

It's so young and beautiful.

The eunuchs were checking their registrations, and then assigning these new ladies to different bureaus.

An attendant came to ask the emperor, but there was someone who wanted to be appreciated.

But the emperor was in no mood, no matter how beautiful the beauty was, he couldn't touch his heart at this time.

"Haven't Yuan Chong and Li Yuan arrived yet?" The emperor asked.

"The two Xiangguo are coming."

After the two prime ministers, Xiao Yu and Lai Hu'er, left Beijing, and now there are only two prime ministers left in Jiangdu, Li Yuan and Yuan Chong.

"Do you think I can still trust Li Yuan? His daughter was Luo Cheng's concubine. The emperor seemed to ask the chamberlain, and he was talking to himself.

The chamberlain lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

Under the steps in front of the palace, the group of young girls, but from time to time secretly look at the emperor, compared to the emperor's worries, these young girls, but still have awe and admiration for the emperor, and even secretly look forward to being able to get the emperor's favor, if the emperor can be lucky, then they can fly on the branches and become phoenixes.

Not long after, the right servant Yuan Chong and the Yellow Gate attendant Li Yuan arrived.

The two prime ministers came in a hurry, and in this cool autumn day, they were even sweating.

"Can it be armed?" The emperor asked directly.

Yuan Chong then reported that he had been ordered by the emperor to transfer the Xiaoguo army to garrison Jiangyang City at the mouth of the river, and sent the Huainan army to garrison the two islands of Guizhou and Yangzijin in the Yangtze River, and also sent troops to Hailing and Liuhe on the left and right sides of the Jiangdu.

In addition, Jiangdu Palace and Yangzi Palace have also sent Xiaoguo troops to garrison.

But the emperor was obviously not satisfied, he said, "I heard that there are fugitives in the Xiaoguo army, and there are quite a few of them? ”

Yuan Chong then said, there are indeed Xiaoguo troops who escaped, but only a very small number of people escaped, those people were newly added before, and some of them were rebels and bandits who were originally captured and captured.

The emperor snorted, nodded, and then made a chopping gesture, "I don't care who these people are in the past, but since they have entered the Xiaoguo army, they are the emperor's guards, and the war is imminent, they don't want to be loyal to the king, but they want to escape. ”

Li Yuan reminded the emperor that the situation was tense now, and if he killed the deserters, he was afraid of causing even greater unease. If he is caught, he will be punished with twenty lashes, and then ordered to be sent back to the army to continue his service.

But the emperor refused, "How can such deserters be allowed to return to the army and be killed." ”

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Take a batch of money silk from the treasury and give it to the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army." ”

"Yes."

"Liu Wuzhou of Mayi killed Wang Rengong, proclaimed himself the governor, and has captured the three counties of Mayi, Yanmen, and Loufu, threatening Taiyuan at all times. And Du Fuwei deceived me into pacifying the Jiangnan pacification envoy Yinxin, and in the name of the Qing monarch's side, he raised troops to rebel, and had already captured most of the four cities of Xuancheng, Danyang, Wujun, and Biling, and returned troops to Jingkou to threaten Jiangdu. ”

"Yuan Chong, Li Yuan, do you have any strategies to quell the chaos?"

In the face of this situation, what good way does Yuan Chong have, he was originally a secretary and supervisor, a good minister, but in the face of the emperor's inquiry, he had to bite the bullet and say, "The minister thinks that the biggest enemy of the court today should be Luo Cheng, although Luo Cheng has not raised troops to rebel, but in fact he has rebelled." Therefore, the minister thought that the court had no choice at this time, and could only make a clear attitude to crusade. ”

Li Yuan said, "If the crusade is intended, there will be no room for turning back in this matter." ”

"There is already no room for it, and any hesitation is just conniving at Luo Wei. Although the minister is not talented and cannot rebel for His Majesty's army, he has a strategy to calm the chaos. ”

"Oh, what's the best idea, tell me quickly."

Yuan Chong's strategy was very simple, but it made the emperor's face ugly, because he suggested to the emperor that he should concentrate all his efforts on dealing with Luo Cheng first, so the emperor could issue an order to recruit Li Mi, Meng Rang, Zuo Caixiang, Li Zitong, Wei Dao'er, Wang Xuba and others, as long as they were willing to accept Zhao'an, then the imperial court could grant them the military position of the Twelve Guards or the post of county prince, even if it was a feudal marquis.

There is only one condition for recruiting An, obey the dispatch of the imperial court, and crusade against the rebel general Luo Cheng.

"Your Majesty, attack Jiangnan Du Fuwei with Zuo Caixiang and Li Zitong."

"Use Li Mi and Dou Jiande to attack Shandong Luogui."

"Attack Liaoxi with Wang Xuba and Lu Mingyue, and attack Liu Wuzhou with Wei Dao'er and other Hedong bandits!"

"You can even send people to contact Goguryeo in Liaodong and the Turks in Mobei to join forces to rebel!"

The right servant shot Yuan Chong's words were amazing.
