Chapter 65

After summoning Yang Xuangan, Yang Guang followed what the traveler's diary said these days.

He trusted those civil and military teams again, and often called people to discuss state affairs.

And formulate some policies that benefit the people, so as to restore the hearts of the people.

Because of this, the treasury expenditure is not small, which puts great pressure on the household department.

But Yang Guang also knew that one bite would not make him a fat man, and these things could only be done step by step.

On this day, during the routine court meeting, Duan Wenzhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, did not come for a long time.

"What's going on with Qing's family, how can you be late for the court meeting?"

Yang Guang looked displeased.

"Your Majesty, it may be that Lord Duan is too busy today, and I'm afraid he may be unwell."

Pei Ju said good things for Duan Wenzhen.

After hearing this, Yang Guang's face softened a little.

"In this case, let's start directly."

He wasn't going to wait any longer.

"His Majesty!"

A shout came.

Duan Wenzhen rushed into the hall in a hurry.

Yang Guang frowned, and his face sank again.

This is the second hall of Qianyang Hall, a sacred place, how can you allow others to make such noise?

"How proper is it for a Minister of the Ministry of War to make such a noise outside the palace?"

Yang Guang said solemnly.

Pei Ju and the others also smiled helplessly.

When Duan Wenzhen passed through the gate of the main hall, he even tripped, but luckily he didn't fall.

"Master Duan, this is the second hall of Qianyang Hall."

Pei Yun reminded me.

Only then did Duan Wenzhen come to his senses, he had indeed lost his composure just now.

I saw him tidying up quickly and coming slowly after recovering his demeanor.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is in a hurry."

Duan Wenzhen spoke bluntly.

"what?"

Yang Guang's face changed slightly.

For the rest, you look at me and I look at you.

"The Goguryeo prisoners of war successfully arrived in Yuhang County to work as laborers, but something went wrong after a while."

Duan Wen said in a deep voice.

"What went wrong?"

Yang Guang asked again.

It must have been a big deal to make Duan Wenzhen so anxious that he even came here regardless of his manners.

"Those laborers were unwilling to work, and the guarding army was naturally unwilling, so several conflicts broke out."

Duan Wenzhen wiped off the sweat from his forehead and continued.

"that's it?"

Yang Guang looked displeased.

This is not a big deal, but if there are several conflicts, then suppression is enough.

"Not long ago, a large-scale conflict broke out, and some guard troops died. Now the entire labor camp and Yuhang County are in chaos."

Duan Wenzhen smiled wryly.

"what?"

Yang Guang stood up with a swipe.

"In addition, the counter-insurgency is not progressing smoothly, and the rebels are still growing gradually."

Duan Wenzhen continued.

"Are the troops stationed everywhere all idiots?"

Yang Guang was furious.

It's a leak in the house and it rains all night, bad things happen one after another.

Now Pei Ju and others understand why Duan Wenzhen came here in such a hurry.

"Lord Duan, the labor disturbance should not be too big. Can the troops of Yuhang County not be able to quell the chaos?"

Pei Ju asked curiously.

"Lord Pei doesn't know something. The number of laborers is not small. It is estimated that there are about 7 to [-] people. The garrison in Yuhang County is only small."

Duan Wenzhen smiled wryly.

"And the garrison did not dare to quell the chaos arbitrarily, because these are all engineering labor."

He paused and continued.

Hearing this, Yang Guang's face became even more ugly.

What Duan Wenzhen said is true. If the 8 or [-] people were killed or imprisoned, the project would only be done by ordinary people.

When the time comes, won't all his methods to win people's hearts become a joke?
Therefore, the best way to pacify the labor unrest in Yuhang County is to keep the workers alive and let them continue to work as laborers.

But this is easier said than done.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let General Lai go?"

Pei Ju thought for a moment and suggested.

Lai Hu'er is Yang Guang's confidant, so if you let him go, you don't have to worry about what changes will happen.

The reason why Pei Ju made such a choice was because he was worried that the family would make trouble.

After all, the incident of Yu Wenshu's mutiny seemed like yesterday.

"Da da."

Yang Guang tapped the handle of the chair with his fingers, but did not speak.

"Come to the general can indeed solve it, but the method used may be a bit cruel."

Pei Yun said.

"Oh, I'm afraid this group of workers will die a lot of people by then."

Yu Shiji sighed.

"At that time, I'm afraid it will cause problems in Goguryeo."

Pei Ju took over.

"They can't be beaten or killed, and they have to be responsible for the labor willingly. What can we do?"

Duan Wenzhen smiled bitterly.

Otherwise, he would not rush over here in a hurry.

The point is, this matter can't be dragged on, it will only make things more difficult.

"Those who go forward must be both civil and military and not reckless."

Yang Guang murmured.

There are really not many people like this in the court.

"Let General Megatron take this trip instead of me."

Yang Guang said suddenly.

"General Megatron?"

Pei Ju was stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty, General Megatron is too young and only good at force, so I'm afraid he can't take on this important task."

Yu Shiji was the first to object.

"Yes, Your Majesty, think twice, it's better to go to General Megatron than General Megatron."

Pei Yun agreed.

"I'm afraid the Qing family don't know Yang Wu very well, so I'll let him go after I decide."

Yang Guang insisted on this.

Although Yang Wu is young, he is quite experienced in dealing with people, not like what Yu Shiji and the others said at all.

Yang Wu knows that the art of war needs to be used flexibly in order to be able to exert its power, which shows that he has a strong ability to adapt to changes.

In addition to the above, Yang Guang also intends to test Yang Wu's ability.

If Yang Wu ends easily, then it can be seen how capable he is.

And after this incident, Yang Wu could easily gain a firm foothold in the court.

It can be said that Yang Guang's choice is not groundless.

"promise."

Seeing that Yang Guangyi had made up his mind, Yu Shiji and others had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, that's it for today."

Yang Guang said lightly.

"My minister retire."

Pei Ju and the others got up and saluted one after another.

Then, they walked out of the second hall of Qianyang Hall.

"Your Majesty is really uncertain. Not long ago, he was wary of us. Why did he change back recently?"

Yu Shiji said with emotion.

"Who knows what His Majesty thinks, we don't want to speculate too much, we just need to obey orders."

Pei Ju replied.

"Yes."

Pei Yun also agrees with this.

"Okay, but why would His Majesty want Yang Wu to go?"

Yu Shiji raised another question.

"I'm afraid I want to train Yang Wu. After all, I lost a Yu Wenshu, and I need new blood to join."

Pei Ju thought for a while and said.

"However, Yang Wu is too young, and he is not worthy of this position now. There is no reason for His Majesty to want to be promoted."

Yu Shiji shook his head, obviously not optimistic about Yang Wu.

"Those who have made it clear, and the fact that a soldier of the Imperial Army hides so deeply, is enough to prove that he is by no means an ordinary person."

Pei Ju narrowed his eyes slightly.
