"How's the world going?"

When Yang Guang woke up, he asked casually. He said that he didn't know what was going on today, but he didn't seem to know what happened yesterday.

He didn't know how many people he had beheaded, how much money he had spent, how many people he had pulled, how many bandits he had suppressed, and finally arrived in Yangzhou, which he had been thinking about for a long time.

Killing, money, blood and tears, and conquest are not within his care, he only wants to achieve a goal.

But now he seems that Yangzhou is not as good as he imagined.

The imaginary scenery is always hazy and wonderful than what you see in reality.

When he got up, he felt irritable, but he didn't know what it was. There was a woman sleeping beside him, like a flower, this is the person who had been with him last night, pear blossoms with rain, I saw pity, but he couldn't remember what her name was, and he didn't want to know.

This woman sent last night is a complete stranger to him, and he can't solve his sorrow today, he values this woman, but because she speaks with Chen Xuanhua's accent, but Chen Xuanhua is just one!

No, thinking of Yang Guang here, his heart ached, and he shook his head vigorously, Chen Xuanhua is only one, but she can always be with me, she is just a short parting.

"How's the world going?" Yang Guang asked again, but he couldn't hear the answer, he was a little annoyed, staring at a servant girl in the distance and said, "I ask you, have you heard?" ”

The maidservant was quite delicate, and when she heard the panic, she said, "Holy Lord, I don't know. ”

"How do you not know? You say, "What's going on in the world?" Yang Guang said viciously, very angry in his heart, these useless things, he doesn't know anything, and he is not as respectful to himself as before.

The maidservant calmed down and said in a low voice: "Holy Lord, my parents, brothers and sisters, and relatives were all killed by bandits, and I have always been in the palace and never went out, how can I know about the affairs of this world?" ”

Yang Guang looked at her coldly, and found that the maid seemed to be looking at him coldly, and the anger in his heart kept swelling. The people of the first palace cautiously walked from outside the palace and said respectfully: "Holy ......"

"What?" Yang Guangda shouted.

The palace people trembled, "Yu Shilang asked to see." ”

"Nope." Yang Guang said angrily, his unknown temper came, and when he saw the palace people leaving, he suddenly thought of something, "Let him come in." Seeing that the palace people were hesitating for no reason, Yang Guang said angrily: "You didn't hear what I said? ”

The palace people hurriedly walked out, suddenly fell to the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Holy forgiveness, holy forgiveness." He crawled out with a roll, but in fact, because the palace people were to blame at every turn these days, and there were not a few people who were killed because of a sentence and a demeanor.

Yang Guang suddenly laughed when he saw the palace people rolling and crawling, but he was the only one in the palace who was laughing, so he couldn't help but be a little monotonous and boring. But he was laughing unbridledly, laughing out of tears, laughing heartbreakingly, laughing like a wolf howling in the end.

The position of the Son of Heaven is high and solemn, but he is debauched at the moment, like a drunk person in the market, and the palace maids and palace people are all watching, and it is commonplace.

Yang Guang didn't know how long he laughed, and finally got a little tired, and when he saw the woman on the bed looking at him in horror, he suddenly said angrily: "Get out, get out of me." ”

The woman left in a hurry with a sheet, the spring was full of desolation, and Yang Guang shouted again: "You all get out of me, even if you all leave me, what can you do?" I am an emperor through the ages, I am an emperor through the ages...... I can't be an emperor through the ages, what else can I do? ”

Everyone retreated in panic, Yang Guang was lonely, suddenly frightened, and shouted: "Come on, come on!" Someone's coming......"

**

"The old minister is here." Yu Shiji had been standing outside the door for a long time, and when he heard Yang Guangda shouting, he walked in in a panic.

When Yang Guang saw Yu Shiji, he jumped off the ground barefoot and grabbed Yu Shiji, "Yu Aiqing, how is my country?" ”

Yu Shiji's lips squirmed twice, and he said with a smile: "Steady as a rock." ”

"What about the bandits?" Yang Guang asked eagerly: "In the first two days of my review, there was news that the counties were defeated and asked for help, how could this bandit catch more and more?" Let Xiao Buyi come, I will rely on him to quell the rebellion! ”

Yu Shiji's expression at that moment was even more ugly than crying, and Yang Guang said angrily: "Does he dare not come?" Does he want to rebel too?! ”

"Holy ......" Yu Shiji couldn't help but explain, "Have you forgotten that Xiao Buyi is really a heavenly opportunity, and it has the scourge of shaking the Great Sui River, and because it hinders Mrs. Chen's return to Yang, the Holy Lord has issued an order to eradicate General Xiao!" ”

Yang Guang let go of his hands, sat down weakly, and muttered, "Xiao Buyi is dead?" ”

He was in an extreme frenzy just now, and when he heard the news of Xiao Buyi's death, he was somewhat sober.

"What are you looking for me? What's going on with the bandits in the county now? ”

"Back to the saint, those bandits are actually rats and dogs, and the counties are working hard to encircle and suppress them, and they will soon be completely eliminated, and the saints really don't need to take it to heart."

"Then they are exaggerating and deceiving me?" Yang Guang frowned.

Yu Shiji hesitated, "The old minister is not clear, but I think many people like to be greedy and lied, probably because they want the saint to give more rewards." ”

Yang Guang sighed and muttered: "So that's the case, as long as they suppress the bandits strongly, why worry about not rewarding them." The bandits are calmed down, Xuanhua is going to return to my side, and everything will soon return to normal. By the way, Yu Aiqing, what are you looking for? ”

Yu Shiji hesitated, "Actually, there is nothing important, that is, General Zhang led the troops to drive away Zhu Can, and Yang Taifu dispersed Du Fuwei, and the two adults won a big victory, and now the two generals are ...... going north."

"They've all gone north to suppress bandits, so who will protect me?" Yang Guang was dissatisfied.

Yu Shiji smiled and said: "The saint doesn't have to worry about this, Jiangdu still has Wang Juncheng in charge, the soldiers are full of food, and the saint will sit back and relax." ”

"Wang Shichong?" Yang Guang thought for a moment, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "What has he been doing lately?" ”

"Recently, there was another person named Ge Qian, who called himself Yan...... Thief, Wang Juncheng is still waiting outside, please show the saint, do you send troops to attack? ”

Ge Qian is not very famous, originally Hejian County rebelled, close to Dou Jiande, but was attacked by Yang Yichen once and collapsed. He went all the way south, and then fought in the East China Sea and Pengcheng area. But now Du Fuwei and Wagang have been beaten one after another, and scattered thieves have come to cling to him. It is also considered that there is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is called the king, but this monkey is getting louder and louder, and it slowly haunts the left near Jiangdu County. According to Yu Shiji's news, Ge Qian gathered at least 100,000 people this time and called himself King Yan, but he said that the number of bandits had decreased, and the number of thieves was ignored.

Yang Guang didn't care about Geqian, there were countless bandits over the years, and he suddenly thought of something, "Let Wang Shichong come to see him." ”

Yu Shiji answered, bowed and retreated.

Before leaving the inner palace, Pei Yun had already greeted him and asked urgently, "Lord Yu, what does the Holy Lord think about Xingyang, and how to deal with it?" ”

Yu Shiji shook his head, "I didn't say it." ”

Pei Yun was stunned, "Zhai Rang and Li Mi conquered Jindi Pass, and even broke Xingyang County and East under their threat, you didn't tell the saint about such a big thing?" ”

Yu Shiji frowned slightly, "The saint is not happy......"

"What do you mean by that?" Pei Yun said dissatisfiedly: "Yu Shilang, this is a military matter, and it is up to the saint to decide, if you are unhappy, you won't tell you, where is the saint's country?" ”

Yu Shiji snorted coldly, "Lord Pei is loyal to the country, why do you always ask me to tell these things?" ”

Pei Yun was silent for a long time, his face gloomy. Pei Mingcui left, Xiao Buyi was hunted down, Chen Xuanhua died, this series of events made Pei Yun Pei Valve's weight in Yang Guang's mind plummet, Pei Yun has always been wise to protect himself, which gave Yu Shiji the upper hand. Of course, he knew that the saints of today did not like to hear about the bandits, and they did not dare to speak lightly.

Yu Shiji saw Pei Yun's gloomy color, his eyes rolled, and he sighed, "Master Pei, in fact, I have no choice but to do it, the saint is in a bad mood when he gets up today, and his words are excited, and the old man doesn't dare to talk about the Wagang." However, I think it has become a common practice these years, General Zhang has taken the initiative to go north to suppress the bandits, with General Zhang's ability, it is easy to expel the Wagang bandits and recapture Jindi Pass, in this case, we as subordinates should not let the saint worry, and when General Zhang recaptures Jindi Pass, it will be good if nothing has happened. ”

Pei Yun was silent for a moment, "What Lord Yu said also makes sense, then it depends on what Lord Yu said." ”

**

When Wang Shichong saw Yang Guang, he was also shocked.

Yang Guang's eyes were blank and his expression was in a trance, which was very different from what he saw a few days ago. Yang Guang arrived in Yangzhou, although Wang Shichong was secretly complaining, but he used the whole body to pat the ass, Yang Guang's most trusted minister is Yu Shiji, and the two most trusted ministers, one is Zhang Xutuo, and the other is Wang Shichong.

Seeing that Wang Shichong came over again and sniffed his feet non-stop, Yang Guang smiled, and somewhat regained the feeling of being on top, "Shichong, you said you were going out to suppress bandits?" ”

Wang Shichong was a little flattered when he heard Yang Guang's title, in the past, it was at most a title of Aiqing, and he had already said that Yang Guang was in a good mood, and now he called Shichong the word "Shichong", and the grace was incomprehensible, "Shengshang, the bandits are cunning, Du Fuwei has repeated again and again, Lord Yang and I have joined forces, and we can only expel it, not exterminate it, which really makes Weichen sincerely afraid." Now that Geqian's forces are haunting Jiangdu, Weichen is afraid of disturbing the saint, so he takes the initiative to invite troops to fight. ”

Yang Guang frowned and said, "What is this bandit's capricious for?" ”

Wang Shichong is very cunning, and he was stunned for a long time when he heard this question, "Well, back to the saint, there are always delusions in this world who want to get something for nothing, and they are the ones who destroy the criminals, plus the foolish people are easily instigated, and they believe in ghosts and Buddhas, so this rebellion is always prohibited." ”

"You killed Liu Yuanjin, right?" Yang Guang said suddenly.

"Back to the saint, it was indeed killed by Weichen." Wang Shichong became more and more uneasy beside Yang Guang, but he still kept smiling and respectful, he found that he didn't understand Yang Guang's mind more and more, Yang Guang's thinking jumped a lot, why did he mention Liu Yuanjin?

"Good killing, very good killing, I heard that in addition to killing Liu Yuanjin, you also killed 30,000 soldiers under him?" Yang Guang asked again.

Wang Shichong hesitated slightly: "More than 30,000 ......"

Yang Guang laughed, cruel pleasure flashed in his eyes, and muttered: "It's good to kill, it's very good, I like it very much!" After he said this, he fell silent again, and fell into a state of semi-meditation, Wang Shichong didn't dare to say much, but his heart was in turmoil, and his thoughts turned sharply.

The name Liu Yuanjin is somewhat distant to Wang Shichong, but it is not unfamiliar!

In the ninth year of the great cause, Yang Xuangan rebelled, and the army moved to the eastern capital, and the number of people who rose up in the world was countless. Near Jiangdu, there are Yuhang Liu Yuanjin, Kunshan Zhu Xie, and Changshu Guan Chongwei are the most troubled, and Liu Yuanjin proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven and occupied Wu County. At the beginning, the generals Tu Wanxu and Yujuluo conquered the three thieves, suppressed until the end of the ninth year of the great cause, and basically controlled the situation, but the two generals saw that the soldiers were tired and asked for a rest. Yang Guang was furious, cut the two to the people, ordered Wang Shichong to attack Liu Yuanjin of Wu County, and recruited tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Huainan for Wang Shichong's command. Wang Shichong endured for many years, knowing that the opportunity had finally come, and he was absolutely unwilling to miss the opportunity easily, and waved his army south, winning again and again.

There are many generals who can lead the troops, and there are also many generals who can shoot horses, but Wang Shichong is the only one who gathers these two in Dacheng!

Wang Shichong conquered Wu County, killed Liu Yuanjin with his own hands, sealed his head and dedicated it to Yang Guang, but he was worried that the remaining bandits would not be eliminated, and he would inevitably repeat the mistakes of the two generals, so he burned incense in front of the golden Buddha of Tongxuan Temple and made an oath, agreeing not to kill those who surrendered, so that the scattered thieves gathered, and more than 30,000 people came to surrender, but afterwards Wang Shichong turned his face ruthlessly, and killed all the people who surrendered in the pit Huang Tingjian, and the corpses in the stream were flat and flat. I heard that since then, there have been ghosts all over the place, no one dares to pass by, the bandits are frightened and dispersed, Wang Shichong also relied on this battle to get Yang Guang's attention, and since then he has soared. And Tu Wanxu was dismissed because of the disadvantage of the thief, and died of depression, Yu Juluo was also suspicious by Yang Guang because of this matter, and his eyes were full of eyes, and most of these visions were strangers, so he was finally suspicious by Yang Guang and found an excuse to behead him in Dongdu. The three generals are all dedicated to quelling the rebel bandits, but the final outcome is very different, the key is that Wang Shichong is ruthless, brazen, never knows the word shame, and is better at understanding Yang Guang's thoughts, so what did he say to kill more than 30,000, because Wang Shichong knew that Yang Guang hated the mob and was not afraid to say that he would kill more.

But even so, Wang Shichong didn't understand why Yang Guang brought up the old things again, and he was inevitably worried.

"Do you believe in Buddhism?" Yang Guang asked suddenly.

Wang Shichong couldn't figure it out, his vest was all cold sweat, and he could only say vaguely: "If you believe in this god, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have ......."

"I believe in it......" Yang Guang's expression at that moment was a little strange, and it could even be said to be weird, even if Wang Shichong saw it, he couldn't help but feel cold.

The inner hall was silent, like a ghost filled with it, and after Yang Guang finished speaking, his expression was so confused.

Wang Shichong couldn't figure out Yang Guang's intentions, so he could only be silent, of course he understood that if he said too much, he would definitely lose, especially in front of a person like Yang Guang, saying a wrong word to keep him in his heart could lead to a catastrophe.

"If there is no god, how can Xuanhua return to the yang again?" Yang Guang muttered, "Shichong, have you ever seen the Supreme King?" ”

Wang Shichong's face changed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "Back to the saint, the Supreme King was ...... by Xiao He was defeated by General Zhang and Lord Yang, and went all the way to Huainan, where the minister had assisted in sending troops to exterminate the Supreme King, but he was very cunning and used the golden cicada to get out of the shell......"

"I heard that the Supreme King has a bronze mirror, and he always likes to carry it with the army?" Yang Guang suddenly burst out of a sentence, but did not look at Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong broke out in a cold sweat, and said in horror: "Back to the saint, when the Supreme King marched, he did like to bring a large bronze mirror screen to put in the tent. But considering that it is a bandit's thing, I don't dare to make a mistake, so I have been in my house. ”

Yang Guang didn't notice Wang Shichong's strange appearance, and became interested, "Bronze mirror screen, is there really such a thing?" ”

Wang Shichong's face was ugly, but he forced a smile and said: "There is indeed such a thing, but Weichen doesn't understand why the Supreme King wants to bring this thing with him." ”

"Fetch it for me." Yang Guang said excitedly.

Wang Shichong stood up and said, "The minister obeys the order, so go and get it." ”

**

In order to be safe, Wang Shichong personally went to get the bronze mirror screen, no matter when, he was always respectful to Yang Guang, and Yang Guang would definitely do what he commanded, looking loyal and very satisfying to Yang Guang.

When Wang Shichong turned around and was sweating profusely, Yang Guang was still waiting, full of anticipation. Wang Shichong showed his loyalty, personally carried the mirror with the palace people, and took care of it.

Yang Guang walked to the bronze mirror screen and found that the bronze mirror was very ingeniously designed, at first glance, it was just a large and extraordinary copper mirror, but the screen could be folded and folded, and the same was true for the mirror.

After the screen is closed, two people can carry it, but when it is unfolded, the crease joints are seamless, and the copper mirror cannot be folded at all. This design makes the bronze mirror screen look huge and majestic, but it is not too cumbersome to carry.

Yang Guang slowly approached, gently knocked on the bronze mirror, and felt that the texture of the screen was very hard, like copper and not copper, no longer paying attention to the material, staying away from two steps, looking at the Yang Guang in the bronze mirror, his expression was a little confused.

The brightness of the bronze mirror is no less than that of the polished copper mirror in the palace, but the degree of clarity is still somewhat inferior to the copper mirror in the palace.

This was originally a bit surprising, but Yang Guang didn't care, he was even very satisfied!

The moment he looked at the bronze mirror screen, he fell in love with this bronze mirror, and even a little drunk, because although the bronze mirror is not clear, Yang Guang ignored his wrinkles from the bronze mirror, ignored his gray hair that had been anxious in recent years, and ignored his original hesitant eyes.

He regained the feeling he hadn't found for a long time in the mirror, he just stood there stupidly, no longer irritable, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth.

This kind of smile, he has not seen for decades!

Wang Shichong didn't dare to stand behind Yang Guang at the moment when Yang Guang stood in front of the bronze mirror, but stood sideways from a distance, standing with his head down, but the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched, showing some unease.

How long Yang Guang stood there, and how long he stood with him, he didn't say a word.

Yang Guang is a patient person, for the throne, he has endured for 20 years, Wang Shichong is also a patient person, for the sake of the throne, he would rather be a grandson since childhood. He thinks he is a mongrel, although he smiled and told Xiao Buyi his identity, his heart was bleeding, he laughed at himself, but others said that he couldn't. Liu Yuanjin scolded him for being a mongrel, so he cut Liu Yuanjin to death with his own hands, and when Liu Yuanjin finally died, in addition to his full head, there was no complete skin on his whole body!

"What a mirror." Yang Guang suddenly sighed.

Wang Shichong was terrified, he only felt that there was wind behind him, and he couldn't help but look up at the mirror, his eyes were glazed, and he only felt that Yang Guang was incarnated in the mirror, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Yang Guang didn't look back, and said in a low voice: "Shichong, the mirror you offered is very good, but what reward do you want?" Well, let me think about it, you are now the county guard of Jiangdu, I will seal you Jiangdu to guard it, you lead the troops to kill Ge Qian, don't be soft-hearted, the more you kill, the better! ”

Wang Shichong couldn't smile bitterly, he didn't expect that he had fought for many years, and he had not been promoted because of his military merits, but because he was promoted in a mirror, and bowed down, "Thank you, Weichen retired." ”

Yang Guang just said 'um', waved his hand, and didn't look back, Wang Shichong respectfully withdrew from the palace, and couldn't help but look up at Yang Guang again, and found that he was still looking at the mirror, demented, like a ghost.

**

Wang Shichong walked out of the palace, sweating profusely, this conversation was really more difficult for him than fighting, and went straight back to the county guard's mansion, Wang Shichong frowned and was silent, but Wang Wei had already come up, "Father-in-law, but the saint blames you?" ”

Wang Shichong shook his head, "No, on the contrary, the Holy Lord has promoted my official, and I am now the commander of Jiangdu." ”

Wang Wei was overjoyed and said: "Then congratulations to the father-in-law, however, the father-in-law has long been covering the sky with one hand in Jiangdu now, and there is actually no big difference between this county guard and the guard." ”

Wang Shichong nodded and smiled bitterly: "Anyway, it is better to be promoted than to be demoted, by the way, how can the Holy Lord know about the Supreme King's bronze mirror screen?" ”

He was talking to himself, but Wang Wei hated it: "The child worked hard to fight the Supreme King and obtain the screen, but he didn't expect to be taken by the Dog Emperor." ”

Wang Shichong's face changed slightly, and he scolded in a low voice: "Debater, don't be rude, you must know that if you say too much, you will lose." If you say that he says wrong things in front of others, and disrespects the saints, you are not the only one who will die. ”

Wang Wei was ashamed and said: "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, the child doesn't dare to say any more." Father-in-law, they all say that the bronze mirror screen behind the Supreme King contains heavenly opportunities and can illuminate the true destiny of the Son of Heaven, but we have not found any mystery in these words. Now that the mirror is in the hands of the Holy One, it is not so easy to get it back. ”

Wang Shichong said bitterly: "Bian'er, you are loyal to me, but we are all a little bit worse, the treasure was in Yangzhou, but it was taken away by Xiao Buyi silently, and now this mirror that can reflect the true destiny of the Son of Heaven is in the hands of the saint again, seeing that I am powerful in Jiangdu, and the saint is here again, am I really a courtier all my life, and I can't turn over?" ”

"The father-in-law's words are wrong, the old saying goes, the heavens are entrusted to the people, you must first suffer their minds, work their muscles and bones, the father-in-law has suffered a lot, this may also be God's test for you."

Wang Shichong perked up, "The argument is very true, but now that the saint has arrived in Yangzhou, it is inevitable that I will be restrained, and I must be cautious in doing things in the future, and I must not let people catch the mistake." Now that the chaos is the first, the rest of the things can only be slowed down, Bian'er, you bring Xuan Ying and Xuan Shu here, and discuss the clever plan to calm the bandits! ”

**

"What now?" Xiao Buyi muttered to himself, when Wang Shichong was distressed, he was also planning in his heart, and he was a little distressed.

There are a group of cronies sitting next to him, all of whom are considered to have been born and died with him, except for Xu Shiji, who led troops to monitor Xiangyang's every move, and the rest of the people were all around.

Taking Xiangyang smoothly surprised Xiao Buyi, and taking Xiangyang can also be said to have brought Xiao Buyi's career to a new height, but Xiao Buyi didn't dare to relax in the slightest, no matter how much he got at this time, he was proud and complacent, and he was likely to lose all his luck in the next game.

In the past, even if he was the general of the right Xiaowei, but after all, there was a king of heaven and Lao Tzu above, who was always conscientious, but he was afraid that his words would be lost, and he was the biggest at this moment, and he suddenly took over Xiangyang, but he didn't know what to do.

finally realized Yang Guang's difficulties, he only managed a Xiangyang, Yang Guang had to face the whole world, and the difficulty was incomparable. The group of cronies and friends in front of him are also staring at each other, and Xiao Buyi has a common problem, if you want to fight, you can manage, please be smart!

The guards outside the door hurriedly rushed in and announced, "General Xiao, Wei asks for a meeting." ”

Xiao Buyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and suddenly stood up and said, "Please come in!" ”
