At the end of the ninth year of the Great Cause.

The Great Sui was also in the midst of wind and rain.

Luo Yi, the governor of the political affairs department and the secretary of the Ministry of War, sat in his public room and looked at the anti-thief information in the world, which was collected by the Ministry of War.

As one of the four divisions of the Ministry of War, in addition to being in charge of the military officers' merits, verification, rewards and punishments, pensions, and military reviews and tests, the Department is also responsible for the map of the world.

"Gaojibo, Qinghe County, Hebei Province, has Zhang Jin as the supreme king, Douzigang in Pingyuan County has Dou Jiande Changle King, and Shanggu King Suba is called the king of Mantian."

A Hebei, there are three kings, these three kings are not better than the previous Yan King Zhao Wang and the like, these people are not weak, all of them claim to have 100,000 people, the staff department found out, these people do gather more than 100,000 people, although most of them are rabble, many old and weak, and there are more than 10,000 thieves who can fight, but it is amazing enough.

Furthermore.

In the land of Guanlong Hetao, the Lingwu man Bai Yusao plundered and herded horses, colluded with the Turks, and called the slave Danyu.

Tang Bi, a Fufeng man, even supported Li Hong as the Son of Heaven and called himself the King of Tang. Xiang Haiming, a monk in Fufeng, claimed to have come to the world as Maitreya, gathering tens of thousands of monks and nuns to build a Buddha country and attract countless believers to accompany him.

Yan'an Liu Jia, self-proclaimed emperor.

Liu Miao, a native of Shihu, called himself the Son of Heaven.

The people of Poyang are begging and call themselves the king of Yuanxing.

In addition, Peng Xiaocai of the East China Sea, Zuo Xiaoyou of Jianghuai, and Lu Mingyue of Zhuojun, although they have not yet become kings, their strength is already very strong.

These are the great anti-kings who have more than 10,000 thieves, and those who are less than 10,000 people are not on this list.

"Killed a Chu overlord, another Emperor Wu, killed Emperor Wu, and so many emperors, Maitreya, and the Son of Heaven, this world is really chaotic."

Luo Yi sighed, although the emperor has appointed eight ambassadors to comfort them, so that they can suppress the bandits in the local area, but now the bandits are more and more.

Fortunately, after the emperor's edict to strike the Eastern Crusade was issued, it still had some effect, at least the people everywhere were very happy, and they felt that they saw a little hope of survival.

But at this time, the emperor didn't want to recuperate, but he still wanted to toss.

Although he did not go eastward, the emperor decided to return to Guanzhong this year to worship the Taimiao, announce the victory of his eastern crusade, Goguryeo has surrendered, and by the way, next year he will go north to Saibei to meet with Shibi Khan.

"Why has no one persuaded Your Majesty?"

A subordinate officer said to Luo Yi.

"Why didn't you persuade it, Lu Zhen persuaded Your Majesty yesterday, saying that the three conquests of Goguryeo, the people are hard work, Your Majesty should calm the Guannei, so that the people can do their best to farm, three or five years, the four seas are a little richer, and then patrol the province, it is appropriate."

This famous warlock, what he said is actually very insightful, the current task of the Great Sui is indeed to recuperate and persuade the mulberry farmers to recover their vitality and win the hearts of the people.

But the emperor can't listen to such good words at all.

Not only did he not listen, but he was also very unhappy, he thought that his three expeditions to Goguryeo, that was also to defeat Goguryeo, to eliminate the border disaster in the northeast, to seek the welfare of future generations, is to open up the territory of China, just like his extermination of Guhun.

But he didn't think that although the Great Sui destroyed the Tuyuhun in the northwest a few years ago and set up four counties, but in the past few years, the Tuyuhun people have been unstable at all, making rebellions everywhere, and the imperial court has to send troops to quell the chaos every year.

Countless Guanlong soldiers had to take turns to fight and quell the chaos, and countless Guanlong people had to pay for grain transportation.

But the emperor seemed to turn a blind eye, and only knew that every time he praised the merit of destroying Tuyuhun and the greatness of setting up four counties.

Therefore, after saying a few more truths, he made the emperor very unhappy, and when he saw the emperor like this, he was also disheartened, and asked to go back to his hometown to farm on the grounds of illness.

Then he also lost his temper and directly ordered people to arrest people and throw them in prison.

I don't know if the madness is really sick, or if someone deliberately wants to sycophant the emperor, but the master just entered the prison, and he didn't get through it for a day, and he actually died.

Luo Yi looked at the thing in front of him again, and finally signed his name on it, and then presented it.

Ziwei Palace.

After reading Luo Yi's recital, Yang Guang was extremely dissatisfied.

"Didn't I already send eight consolation envoys to quell the rebellion and suppress the bandits, and some clowns who jumped off the beam also dared to call themselves kings and emperors, but in front of my millions of soldiers in the Great Sui, it was just morning dew."

Even the rebellion of a top aristocrat like Yang Xuangan was quelled in March, and Liu Yuanjin seized the land of the seven counties, and was also captured and killed by Luo Cheng in a battle, so Yang Guang always believed that even if there were indeed a lot of bandits making trouble below, it was just a small problem.

"How are the preparations for moving back to Xijing, can Yuan Taizuo come in a hurry?"

After the emperor issued the order to strike the Eastern Expedition, he had already given the surrendered Yuan Taizuo the title of King of Joseon, and ordered him to come to Luoyang to meet him. He also planned to bring Yuan Taizuo and Murong Shun of Tuyuhun, as well as Luo Khan of the Western Turks, Shibi Khan of the Eastern Turks, and Dahe Duluo of the Khitan Khan to worship the Taimiao together.

"Your Majesty, things have changed."

"There has been a change, what has changed?" Yang Guang was annoyed when he heard it, he attached great importance to this matter, before the soldiers and people refused to recruit again, he reluctantly accepted Goguryeo's request to surrender, in the emperor's opinion, Goguryeo is really surrendered, because they have to finish the game if they don't surrender, so he thinks that he has an edict, and the Yuan clan must come to worship.

After all, if this Goguryeo minister who had just killed the monarch could not be canonized and recognized by his Yang Guang, he, the king of Joseon, would not be stable.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Yuan family said that the weather is cold and the road is far away, and he is old and frail, so he can't come to Luoyang to meet him in person, so he sent an envoy to come to congratulate him on his behalf."

Yang Guang's face changed rapidly, becoming extremely ugly.

Yuan Taizuo didn't dare to come.

When he toured the Turks in the north and met with Shibi, he once asked Xi, Khitan, Murowei, Jin, Goguryeo and other elders to come to visit, but Goguryeo King Gao Yuan refused to come.

So Yang Guang began to prepare for the Eastern Crusade on the grounds that he was not a subordinate.

I didn't expect Yuan Taizuo to dare not come.

"Your Majesty, Xu Guogong asked to see him, saying that there is an urgent military intelligence report."

"Xuan."

Yang Guang coldly spit out a word.

Yu Wenshu strode in.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Luo Cheng has rebelled in Liaodong!"

When the emperor heard this, his heart chuckled.

"Impossible, how could Luo Cheng betray me?"

"Your Majesty, this is true!"
