Chapter 698

Facing the bronze mirror.

Yang Guang couldn't help but start thinking about why he fell into this field today.

Yang Xuangan, who was born in Guanlong nobles, rebelled against him. Jiangnan, who was promoted by him, was promoted by him, and Pei Yun, Yu Shiji, and Pei Shiju, who were born in the Guandong gentry, deceived him. Zhang Jin, who was called Gao Shida, would not mention those rash people, but now even the Luo Cheng brothers are rebelling against him.

A cool autumn wind blew, and the emperor felt a little dizzy in his head, and he coughed a few times.

Before the success of the throne, the emperor had been in Jiangdu for nine years. His best years were here. That was the most relaxing and happiest time in his life, and it was also a comfortable period. He had long been used to the climate here, especially in the autumn in the south of the Yangtze River. Without the dryness of the north, he always made him feel comfortable.

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

He wanted to go back to Luoyang, patrol Guanzhong, and even wanted to go to the north of the Seitou area again, to Liaodong, and to the Western Regions.

But now, he can't go anywhere.

Luo Cheng finally turned the other way.

Du Fuwei raised troops in Jiangnan, but actually brought troops to chaos in the name of clearing the monarch. He took the seal of the Jiangnan pacifier whom he was granted the title, and now he has occupied several cities such as Xuancheng, Piling, and Wujun. Du Fuwei has commanded 20,000 troops and horses, entered Jingkou, collected ships everywhere, and made a move to cross the river and attack Jiangdu.

Yang Guang could not have expected whether Du Fuwei would call him. He regretted that he had not heard from Xiao Yu, so he should not have given Du Fuwei the damn appeasement envoy seal. As a result, not only did he not deceive Du Fuwei into Jiangdu, but instead gave him the convenience of rebellion. With this seal, he didn't know how many people he deceived, but now he openly acted in the name of clearing the emperor, but rebelling.

Du Fuwei was Luo Cheng's fellow countryman, and he was even his best friend who had been with him for many years. Now he is in trouble. If he is not Luo Cheng's instructions, he will never believe it.

The blue sky, without any clouds, looks so high and blue.

But Du Fuwei's rebellion is not the worst news.

The urgent report just now said that the general of the Mayi Yingyanglang General Liu Wu killed the governor Wang Rengong and rebelled. He had already called himself the governor of Mayi, and divided his troops to occupy the three counties of Loufan, Mayi and Yanmen, and occupied Daibei, threatening Taiyuan.

There is no good news, but bad news comes one after another.

Liu Wuzhou's rebellion must be the same as Du Fuwei's rebellion. Liu Wuzhou once served under Luo Cheng's command. Although he later left Liaodong, it is said that he respected Luo Cheng very much.

In front of the emperor's palace, there are more than a hundred beautiful girls from all over the world. They are all young and beautiful, unmarried girls aged fourteen to 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. They have already changed into the same style of palace tulle skirts, with high-waisted skirts tied directly to the chest and armpits, with silk on their shoulders and hair tied up.

So young and beautiful.

The eunuchs were checking and registering for them, and then assigned these newly-entered women to different bureaus.

An eunuch came over to ask the emperor, if there are those who are favored and appreciated.

But the emperor was in no mood. No matter how beautiful the beauty was, she could not touch his heart at this time.

"Have Yuan Chong and Li Yuan not arrived yet?" the emperor asked.

"The two prime ministers are coming."

After Xiao Yu and Lai Hu'er left the capital, only Li Yuan and Yuan Chong were left in Jiangdu.

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

The eunuch lowered his head and dared not say anything.

At the steps in front of the hall, the young girls secretly looked at the emperor from time to time. Compared to the emperor's worries, these young girls still had awe and admiration for the emperor, and even secretly hoped to win the favor of the emperor. If they could win the emperor's blessing, they could fly up the branch and turn into a phoenix.

Not long after, the right servant Yuan Chong and the Huangmen Minister Li Yuan arrived.

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

"Can the defense be laid?" the emperor asked directly.

Yuan Chong then reported that according to the emperor's will, the Xiaoguo Army had been stationed in Jiangyang City at Jiangkou, and sent Huainan Army to the two Jiangzhong Islands, Guizhou and Yangzijin, in the Yangtze River, and also sent troops to Hailing and Liuhe on both sides of Jiangdu.

In addition, Jiangdu Palace and Yangzi Palace also sent additional Xiaoguo Army to garrison.

But the emperor was obviously not satisfied. He said, "I heard that the Xiaoguo Army had fugitives who were afraid of fighting, and there were a lot of them?"

Yuan Chong then said that there were indeed Xiaoguo Army who fled, but only a very small number of people who escaped. Those people were newly added, and some were rebels and bandits who were originally captured and captured.

The emperor nodded, nodded, and then made a chopping gesture, "I don't care who these people were in the past, but since I entered the Xiaoguo Army, I am the emperor's guards. The war is imminent, and they do not want to serve the emperor, but they want to escape. This example cannot be opened, and this wind cannot be long. I immediately sent Xiaoguo Army to pursue them, capture all the fugitives, and then execute them publicly."

Li Yuan reminded the emperor that the situation is tense now, and if the deserter is killed, it will be afraid of causing greater uneasiness. It is better to catch it and whip twenty after being arrested, and then order it to be sent back to the army to continue serving.

But the emperor refused, "How can such deserters be allowed to return to the army and kill them?"

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Get a batch of money and silk from the treasury and reward it to the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army."

"yes."

"Mayi Liu Wuzhou killed Wang Rengong, proclaimed himself the governor, and had seized the three counties of Mayi, Yanmen and Loufan, and threatened Taiyuan at all times. Du Fuwei deceived my Jiangnan pacifier Yin Xin, and raised an army to rebel under the name of clearing the monarch. He also captured most of the four counties of Xuancheng, Danyang, Wujun and Piling. He also stationed in Jingkou and threatened Jiangdu."

"Yuan Chong, Li Yuan, what are your plans to quell the rebellion?"

Faced with this situation, Yuan Chong had no good idea. He was originally a secretary and a good minister of poetry. When faced with the emperor's inquiry, he had to bite the bullet and say, "I think the biggest enemy of the court is Luo Cheng now. Although Luo Cheng has not yet rebeled, he has actually rebelled. Therefore, I think the court has no choice at this time, so I can only make a clear attitude to attack."

Li Yuan said, "If the order is given, there will be no room for this matter to turn around."

"There is no room for anything, and hesitation is just to indulge Luo Ni. Although I am not talented and cannot lead the army to rebel for Your Majesty, I have a plan to quell the chaos."

"Oh, what good ideas are there? Let's talk about it quickly."

Yuan Chong's plan was very simple, but it made the emperor look ugly because he suggested to the emperor that he would concentrate his efforts on Luo Cheng first, so the emperor could issue an order to recruit Li Mi, Meng Rang, Zuo Caixiang, Li Zitong, Wei Daoer, Wang Xuba and others. As long as they were willing to accept the recruitment, the court could grant them military positions or county prefects such as the 12 guards, even if they were granted the title of marquis.

The only condition for recruitment was to obey the imperial court and attack the rebel general Luo Cheng.

"Your Majesty, as the left talent prime minister, Li Zitong attacked Du Fuwei in Jiangnan."

"By Li Mi and Dou Jiande attacked Luo Gui from Shandong."

"With the king Xuba, Lu Mingyue attacked western Liaoning, and with Wei Daoer and other bandits in Hedong attacked Liu Wuzhou!"

"You can even send people to contact Goguryeo in Liaodong and Turks in Mobei to fight against rebellion!"
