When Yang Guang was about to ask them questions, Sima Dekan raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this place is far away from Jiangdu and is not very safe.
We'd better take them back to Jiangdu and question them carefully."
Yang Guang nodded and said, "That's fine. " Everyone turned their horses and headed towards Jiangdu.
There was nothing going on on Yang Guang's road, so they asked the soldiers to escort a few prisoners of war and follow their horses, asking questions as they walked.
Before entering Jiangdu City, these captured "thief soldiers" explained the matter clearly.
Because the imperial court conscripted Hui soldiers in successive years, the harvest was getting smaller and smaller year by year.
Coupled with the rise of thieves, natural disasters occurred one after another.
Soon, Huainan, which was originally relatively prosperous, could no longer afford to eat, and many people in Huainan also became thieves.
Most of them were villagers from a nearby township.
A few days ago, a group of people calling themselves Wagang Army came and encouraged the villagers to follow them in revolt against the Sui Dynasty.
Most of the young men followed them, not wanting to meet the imperial officers and soldiers on the way.
After interrogating several armored bandit leaders, the actual situation surprised Yang Guang even more.
They actually belong to another group of thieves named Du Fuwei who is the leader in Huainan.
They have no actual relationship with the Wagang Army.
The reason why they use the Wagang Army's signboard is that the Wagang Army's signboard is loud and easy to recruit.
Villagers.
Du Fuwei and Yang Guang chanted this name.
In fact, he was not familiar with the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in his previous life.
After arriving in Jiangdu in this life, he was careless and neglectful of government affairs.
He did not check military intelligence reports from various places in detail, so in his memory, he just felt that the name Du Fuwei was familiar.
In fact, Du Fuwei is one of the strongest rebel kings in the south.
He has established a large base area in Liuhe and Liyang near Jiangdu, with nearly 100,000 troops.
After Yang Guang understood this, he remained silent.
Most of these situations were within his expectations.
But he had never expected that even the vicinity of Jiangdu City had become the territory of thieves.
At this time, Yang Guang's sense of urgency increased by 10%.
Back in the city, it was already noon.
The old eunuch Liu Wenshan was already anxiously lingering at the palace gate.
Seeing Yang Guang return safely, he was relieved.
He hurriedly ordered the young eunuch to prepare lunch, but was stopped by Yang Guang: "Wenshan, hurry up and arrange to convene the ministers for lunch and then have a meeting in the Daxing Palace.
In addition to the officials from the capital, officials from Jiangdu County will also come, including Xiaoguo Imperial Guards All officers above the rank of captain came to the palace to discuss matters.”
Liu Wenshan was stunned for a moment, knowing that the emperor would do this because he had a major issue, otherwise he would not use Daxing Hall.
But even the local officials of Jiangdu County and the captains of the Forbidden Army had to be summoned.
This was the first time.
He didn't dare to neglect, and went to make arrangements after saying yes.
When Yang Guang returned to the Ganlu Hall, a table full of meals had been prepared.
A beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, with her breasts slightly exposed and a phoenix hairpin on her head, was waiting beside her.
It is none other than the current queen, Xiao Meiniang.
When she saw Yang Guang, she quickly greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here to have a meal just now?
There is no need to be so busy with government affairs.
Taking care of the dragon's body is still the most important thing."
As she spoke, she stretched out a jade hand and touched the dishes. .
Then he continued: "The dishes are already a little cold.
I asked the palace servants to put another table."
Yang Guang sat down next to Empress Xiao and said, "Don't worry about it, I'm hungry too, and I'm in a hurry.

There's an important court meeting in the afternoon."
After saying that, he picked up his rice bowl and started eating. .
He didn't move the wine glass that Queen Xiao filled for him.
Empress Xiao felt vaguely that something was wrong at this time, or to be precise, she felt that something was wrong with the emperor around her.
He seemed to be a completely different person.
This was the second time Yang Guang met Queen Xiao Meiniang after being soul-pierced.
While eating, he looked at Queen Xiao, and then a smile appeared on his face.
This move made Empress Xiao feel upset, thinking that there was something wrong with her makeup.
In fact, Yang Guang laughed at the system again and the appearance of the partner he "arranged" for him remained unchanged.
When Yang Guang walked into the Daxing Hall in Jiangdu Palace City, His Highness was already surrounded by a crowd of people, arranged on both sides according to their positions and official positions.
Yang Guang cleared his throat and started talking about today's topic.
"My lords, the world is in turmoil in our Sui Dynasty right now, and traitors can be seen more than 20 miles outside Jiangdu City.
How do you think I should deal with it, and how should I save the country that my father left to me?"
There was a sudden silence in the main hall.
All the ministers were surprised why Yang Guang said this today.
Probably because Yang Guang has been here since Jiangdu, he is basically in a broken state.
He does not care about government affairs all day long, and is extremely disgusted with officials who report the situation of the world truthfully.
They were surprised that the emperor took the initiative to hold a court meeting today and asked about the situation in the world.
The ministers remained silent for a long time, and Yang Guang glanced away from the faces.
When he glanced at his favorite ministers Yu Wenzhiji and Yu Wenhua and his brothers, he paused.
The two men lowered their heads and kept silent.
Yang Guang sneered in his heart before looking away from them, finally focusing on Yu Shiji, the Minister of Internal Affairs.
He opened his mouth and said, "Yu Qing, what do you think I should do?"
Yu Shiji was a native of Jiangdu and a representative figure of southern officials.
He had already made a plan in his mind and reported to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, the rebels are now on the rise.
The Wagang bandits have occupied Huaibei and Henan, blocking the Holy Emperor's return to the east capital.
The Jinyang rebel Li Yuan has taken the opportunity to capture the land of Xijing.
Except for the two largest groups of rebels, There are also Xue Ju in Longxi, Li Gui in Liangzhou, Ding Yang, Liu Wu and Zhou, who have more than a dozen rebels.
The total number of rebels is over one million, so it must be extremely dangerous to return to Luoyang, the eastern capital.
I sincerely request your majesty to move to Danyang and continue the plan slowly.
In this way, we can take advantage of the group of thieves and then regain the north in one fell swoop and return our inheritance.
If we retreat, we can secure Jiangdong, occupying half of the country, and ensure that the legal system of the Sui Dynasty is preserved. " Yu Shiji's words were not only his own meaning, but also represented the opinions of southern officials and noble families.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Cai, the right-backed general, immediately retorted: "Shilang Yu's strategy is absolutely undesirable.
The foundation of our Sui Dynasty lies in Guanlong.
If Guanlong is not returned, the country will not be preserved.
Shilang Yu keeps saying that thieves are rising in the north.
Are there no bandits and traitors in the south?
Not to mention the distance.
The Jiangling rebel Xiao Mian and the Nanchang bandit Lin Shihong are located a hundred miles west of Jiangdu City."
Yu Shiji thought for a while and responded: "Although there are these bandits and rebels in the south, they are nothing compared to the north.
The most important thing is that most of the local officials in the south are interested in the Sui Dynasty, and the counties in the south of the Yangtze River are still there.
Under my rule during the Sui Dynasty, as for Du Fubo, Lin Shihong and others are all a mob.
As long as His Majesty moves to Danyang and orders the soldiers from the south, with the bravery of the Xiaoguo Army, it will be easy to destroy them.
As for the rebel Xiao Xian, it will be easier to deal with them. , because he is" At this point, he paused, and Yang Guang smiled and said: "Yu Qing wants to say that Xiao Mian is my relative and the queen's nephew.
