"What's going on in the world now?"

When Yang Guang woke up, he asked casually. He didn't know what happened tomorrow, but he didn't seem to know what happened yesterday.

He didn't know how many people he killed, how much money he spent, how many people he let him pull and how many bandits he suppressed, and finally arrived at Yangzhou where he was longing for him.

Killing, money, blood and tears, and fighting are not within his concern. He only wants to achieve his purpose.

But now he seems to be not as good as he imagined.

The scenery in imagination is always more hazy, beautiful, and more than what you see in reality.

When he got up, he felt very upset, but he didn't know what he was upset. A woman was sleeping beside him, with a flowery appearance. This was the person who had been swaying with him last night. The pear blossoms were raining. I felt pity for him, but he couldn't remember what her name was and didn't want to know.

To him, the woman who sent her last night was a completely stranger and could not solve his today's sorrow. He valued this woman because she spoke with a Chen Xuanhua accent, but Chen Xuanhua was just one!

No, when Yang Guang thought of this, he felt a big pain in his heart and shook his head vigorously. Chen Xuanhua had only one, but she could always be with me, and she was just a short separation.

"What's going on in the world now?" Yang Guang asked again, unable to smell the answer, and was a little angry, staring at a maid in the distance and said, "I ask you, have you heard it?"

The maid was quite pretty and said in panic. "Master, I don't know."

"Why don't you know? You said, what's wrong with the world?" Yang Guang said viciously, very angry. He didn't know anything about these useless things, and he was not as respectful to himself as before.

The maid calmed down instead and whispered: "Master, my parents, brothers and sisters, and relatives have all been killed by bandits. I have always been in the palace and have never left. How could I know what happened in the world?"

Yang Guang looked at her coldly, and found that the maid seemed to be looking at him coldly, and his anger continued to swell. A palace servant walked carefully from outside the palace and said respectfully: "The Lord..."

"What's the matter?" Yang Guang shouted.

The palace servant was trembling, "Shilarious Minister Yu asked for a meeting."

"No." Yang Guang said angrily, his temper was unknown. When he saw the palace servant leaving, he suddenly thought of something, "Let him come in." Seeing the palace servant wandering for no reason, Yang Guang said angrily, "Didn't you hear me say?"

The palace servant hurriedly walked out, suddenly fell to the ground, and said repeatedly: "The Lord forgives his sins, and the Lord forgives his sins." He rolled out. In fact, because the palace servants were often blamed in the past few days, there were many people who were killed for one word and one behavior.

When Yang Guang saw the palace servants rolling and crawling, he suddenly burst into laughter, but he was the only one in the palace laughing, and he couldn't help but feel a little monotonous and bored. But he was just laughing unrestrainedly, laughing with tears, laughing heart-wrenchingly, and finally laughing like a wolf howling. The position of the emperor is high and always solemn and solemn. But at this moment, he is like a drunk person in the market, and the palace maids and palace servants are watching, which is commonplace.

Yang Guang didn't know how long he had laughed, but he was finally a little tired. When he saw the woman on the bed looking at him in horror, he suddenly said angrily: "Get out, get out of here."

The woman left in a hurry with her bed sheets, and the spring was full of desolation. Yang Guang shouted again: "Get out of here. Even if you all leave me, what can you do to me? I am the emperor of the ages, I am the emperor of the ages... I cannot be the emperor of the ages, what else can I do?"

Everyone retreated in panic, Yang Guang was lonely and suddenly felt fearful. He shouted, "Come, come, come, come, come, come..." He stood outside the door for a long time. Hearing Yang Guang shouting, he walked in in panic.

When Yang Guang saw Yu Shiji, he jumped off the ground barefoot and grabbed Yu Shiji, "Yu Aiqing, what's wrong with my country?"

Yu Shiji's lips squirmed twice, and said with a smile: "It's as stable as a rock."

"What about the bandits?" Yang Guang asked anxiously: "I reviewed the memorials two days ago, and there were news of defeat in various counties asking for help everywhere. Why are the bandits arresting more and more? Let Xiao Buyi come quickly, I want to rely on him to suppress the rebellion!"

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

"The Lord..." Yu Shiji couldn't help but explain, "Did you forget that Xiao Buyi is really a secret of heaven, and it has caused the disaster to shake the Sui Dynasty. Because it hindered Mrs. Chen from returning to the sun, the Lord has issued an order to eradicate General Xiao!"

Yang Guang let go of his hands, sat down weakly, and murmured: "Is Xiao Buyi dead?"

He was in extreme fanatic just now, and he heard the news of Xiao Buyi's death and became somewhat awake.

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

"Returning to the Lord, those bandits are actually rats and dogs. The counties and counties are stepping up their efforts to encircle and suppress them, and they will be completely eliminated soon. The Lord really doesn't have to take it seriously."

"Then are they lying to me for exaggerating the memorials on the ground?" Yang Guang frowned.

Yu Shiji hesitated, "The old minister is not clear, but I think many people like to report greed for merit and falsehood. Maybe they want the emperor to give more rewards."

Yang Guang sighed and murmured, "So that's the case. As long as they suppress the bandits with strength, why worry about not giving rewards? The bandits are pacified, Xuan Hua will return to my side, and everything will soon return to normal. By the way, Yu Aiqing, what are you asking me for?"

Yu Shiji hesitated, "Actually, there is nothing important. General Zhang led his troops to drive away Zhu Can, Yang Taipu dispelled Du Fuwei. Both adults won a great victory. Now both generals are heading north..."

"They all went north to suppress bandits, so who will protect me?" Yang Guang said dissatisfied.

Yu Shiji smiled and said, "Your Majesty has no need to worry about this. There is still Wang Junzhu in Jiangdu, and he has enough soldiers and food. You must be at ease."

"Wang Shichong?" Yang Guang thought for a while, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "What are he doing recently?"

"Recently, another person named Ge Qian made a rebellion and called himself Yan... The thief Wang Junzhu was still waiting outside. Please ask the emperor to tell him whether to send troops to attack?"

Ge Qian was not very famous. Originally, the Hejian County Uprising was close to Dou Jiande, but it was attacked by Yang Yichen once. He was defeated. He went south and fought in the East China Sea and Pengcheng area. However, now Du Fuwei and Wagang were beaten one after another, and all the scattered thieves came to rely on him. It was also considered that there was no tiger in the mountains. The monkey was called the king, but the monkey became more and more powerful and slowly appeared near Jiangdu County. According to Yu Shiji, Ge Qian gathered at least 100,000 people this time. He called himself the King of Yan, but he said that the bandits decreased and the number of bandits was ignored. As for the King of Yan, of course, he used Yan thieves to replace them to avoid Yang Guang being displeased.

Yang Guang didn't care about Ge Qian. There were so many bandits in recent years that there were countless. Suddenly he thought of something "let Wang Shichong come and see him."

Yu Shiji responded and bowed and retreated.

As soon as he left the inner palace, Pei Yun had already come up and asked anxiously, "Mr. Yu, what does the emperor think about Xingyang matter and how to deal with it?"

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

Pei Yun was stunned, "Zhai Rang, Li Mi conquered Jindi Pass, and even destroyed Xingyang County. Dongdu was under their threat. You didn't tell the emperor about such a big thing? Yu Shiji frowned slightly, "The emperor is not happy..."

"How is your words so polite?" Pei Yun said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Yu, this is a major military and national affairs, and the emperor must be the master. If you don't say a word, you won't report it. Where is the land of the emperor?"

Yu Shiji snorted coldly, "Mr. Pei is loyal to the country, why do you always ask me to report these things?"

Pei Yun remained silent for a while and his face was gloomy. Pei Mingcui left, Xiao Buyi was chased and Chen Xuanhua died. This series of incidents made Pei Yun's Pei family lose weight in Yang Guang's mind, and Pei Yun kept protecting himself. This made Yu Shiji stand up again. Of course he knew that the emperor now does not like to hear about bandits' rebellion, and does not dare to make any suggestions easily.

Yu Shiji saw Pei Yun's resentment. His eyes turned and he sighed, "Mr. Pei, I actually had to do it. The emperor was in a bad mood when he woke up today and was excited. I didn't dare to talk about Wagang. But I think it has become a common practice in recent years. General Zhang has taken the initiative to go north to suppress bandits. With General Zhang's ability, it is easy to expel Wagang thieves and recapture Jindi Pass. Since this is the case, we as ministers should not worry the emperor. When General Zhang takes back Jindi Pass, we will think that nothing has happened."

Pei Yun was silent for a moment, "What Lord Yu said makes sense, then according to what Lord Yu said."

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

Yang Guang's eyes were dull and his expression was dazed, which was very different from what he saw a few days ago. Although Yang Guang arrived in Yangzhou, Wang Shichong secretly complained, he used all his strength to flatter him. Yang Guang's most trusted internal ministers are Yu Shiji, and the two most trusted external ministers, one is Zhang Xutuo, and the other is Wang Shichong.

Seeing that Wang Shichong came over and sniffed his feet again, Yang Guang smiled and returned to the feeling of being high above, "Shichong, do you think you want to go out to suppress the bandits?"

Wang Shichong was a little flattered when he heard Yang Guang's name. In the past, he was the title of a beloved minister. He had already indicated that Yang Guang was in a good mood. Today he called Shichong and was extremely grateful. "The emperor, the bandits are cunning, Du Fuwei has been repeatedly and repeatedly. Lord Yang and I joined forces to expel them, but they could not be wiped out, which really made the ministers frightened. Now Ge Qian's forces are appearing near Jiangdu. The ministers are afraid that they will disturb the emperor, so they took the initiative to ask for troops to fight."

Yang Guang frowned and said, "What is the purpose of this bandit's capriciousness?"

Wang Shichong was very cunning and flattering. When he heard this question, he was stunned for a while, "Well, when you return to the emperor, there are always delusions in this world who are committed crimes without any effort. In addition, the foolish people are easily encouraged and believe in ghosts and Buddhism, so this rebellion is always repeated."

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

"Returning to the emperor, the land was indeed killed by the empress." Wang Shichong became more and more uneasy around Yang Guang, but he still kept smiling and respectful. He found that he was increasingly unaware of Yang Guang's thoughts. Yang Guang's thinking jumped greatly. Why did he mention Liu Yuanjin?

"It's good to kill the land, it's very good to kill the land. I heard that in addition to killing Liu Yuanjin, you also killed 30,000 soldiers under his command?" Yang Guang asked again.

Wang Shichong hesitated slightly: "It's more than 30,000..."

Yang Guang laughed, cruel pleasure flashed in his eyes, and murmured: "It's good to kill, it's very good to kill, I like it very much!" After saying this, he fell silent again and fell into a state of half-thought. Wang Shichong did not dare to say more, but his heart was in a mess. His thoughts turned sharply.

The name Liu Yuanjin is somewhat far away from Wang Shichong, but it is not unfamiliar with it!

In the ninth year of Daye, Yang Xuangan rebelled and his troops moved the Eastern Capital. There were countless people rising up in the world. Near Jiangdu, there were Yuhang Liu Yuanjin, Zhu Xie, Kunshan, and Guan Chong from Changshu, who was the most terrifying. Liu Yuanjin proclaimed himself the emperor and occupied Wu County. At the beginning, the general Tu Wanxu, Yu Juluo conquered the three thieves, suppressed until the end of Daye's ninth year. He basically controlled the situation, but when these two generals saw the soldiers exhausted and asked for a rest period, they did not expect that anyone in the court would see the two generals being proud of their youth. He could not see them, so he said that the two generals had a disobedient heart. Yang Guang was furious and cut them off the posts to the people. He ordered Wang Shichong to attack Wu County Liu Yuanjin and recruited tens of thousands of elite troops in Huainan for Wang Shichong to command. Wang Shichong endured for many years and knew that the opportunity had finally come. He would never miss the opportunity easily. He rushed south and won consecutive victories.

There are many generals who can lead troops and many generals who can slap horses. However, the only one who can gather these two together in the Sui Dynasty was Wang Shichong!

Wang Shichong conquered Wujun, killed Liu Yuanjin with his own hands, sealed his head and presented it to Yang Guang. However, he was worried that the remaining bandits would not be eliminated, and he would inevitably repeat the mistakes of the two generals. Therefore, he burned incense in front of the Golden Buddha in Tongxuan Temple, making an oath, promising not to kill those who surrendered, and gathered the scattered thieves, and more than 30,000 people came to surrender. However, Wang Shichong turned his back and killed all the surrendered people in the pit, and killed all the corpses in the stream and the ground. He heard that since then, ghosts were everywhere there. No one dared to pass by, and the bandits dispersed in fear. Wang Shichong also gained Yang Guang's utilities through this battle.

, Since then, Tu Wanxu was dismissed because of the unfavorable defense of the thief, and died of depression. Yu Juluo was also suspicious by Yang Guang for this matter. He also had double pupils. These strange phenomena were mostly strangers. So Yang Guang was suspicious and made excuses to kill them in Dongdu. The three generals were all determined to suppress the rebellion of the bandits, but the final outcome was very different. The key was that Wang Shichong was cruel and shameless, never knew the word "shame". He was better at understanding Yang Guang's thoughts. He just said that he killed more than 30,000 because Wang Shichong knew that Yang Guang hated the mob and was not afraid of saying that he would kill too much.

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

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

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

"I believe it..." Yang Guang's expression at that moment was a bit strange, even strange. Even Wang Shichong couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw it.

The inner hall was quiet, like ghosts filled it. After Yang Guang finished speaking, his expression was so confused.

Wang Shichong could not understand Yang Guang's intentions and could only remain silent. He certainly understood that too much would lead to mistakes. Especially in front of someone like Yang Guang, saying a wrong sentence to him and letting him remember it may lead to a disaster.

"If there were no gods, how could Xuan Hua return to the sun again?" Yang Guang murmured: "Shichong, have you ever seen the Supreme King?"

Wang Shichong's face changed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "Return to the emperor, the Supreme King was defeated by Xiao... by General Zhang and Lord Yang, and went to Huainan. At that time, I helped to send troops to wipe out the Supreme King, but he was very cunning and used the Golden Cicada to escape 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 said, but he did not look at Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong was sweating coldly and said tremblingly: "When returning to the priest, when the Supreme King marched, he really liked to bring a large bronze mirror screen in the tent. This time, the empress suppressed the bandits and obtained them accidentally. He was considering whether to offer them to the priest. But considering that it was a bandit, he did not dare to act rashly, so he kept it in my house."

Yang Guang did not notice Wang Shichong's strange thing and became interested, "The bronze mirror screen really has this thing?"

Wang Shichong looked ugly, but he forced a smile and said, "There is indeed such a thing, but Weichen doesn't understand why the Supreme Wang Zhanjun had to bring this thing."

"Get it for me quickly." Yang Guang said excitedly.

Wang Shichong stood up and said, "I will follow the order, let's go and take it." Guang was always respectful. Yang Guang would definitely do things by himself. He seemed loyal and satisfied Yang Guang.

When Wang Shichong turned around and asked for a visit with sweat, Yang Guang was still waiting, full of expectations. In order to show his loyalty, Wang Shichong personally carried the mirror with the palace servants and took care of him carefully.

Yang Guang walked to the bronze mirror screen and found that the bronze mirror was designed very cleverly. At first glance, it was just a bronze mirror that was extremely common, 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 it is unfolded, and the creases and tenons are seamless, and the bronze mirror cannot be seen at all. This design makes the bronze mirror screen look huge and majestic. It is not too cumbersome to carry it.

Yang Guang walked slowly and gently tapped the bronze mirror. He felt that the screen was very hard, not copper, and he ignored the material. He walked away from it for two steps and looked at Yang Guang in the bronze mirror. His expression was a little blurred.

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

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

The moment he looked at the bronze mirror screen, he fell in love with this bronze mirror, and was even a little intoxicated, because although the bronze mirror was not clear, Yang Guang ignored his wrinkles from the bronze mirror, ignored his anxiety-producing gray hair in the past few years, and also ignored his originally confused eyes. All he saw was his spirit and vigor when he went south to Ping Chen and was in the wind!
