Chapter 1107 The Emperor and the Crown Prince

"Officials, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" After waking up from his afternoon nap, Fang slowed down and heard the report.

"Xuan!"

During this period of time, Liu Yang was basically in the political affairs hall, handling internal and external affairs with the prime ministers. Unlike in the past, the current prince can express his opinions and propose solutions in various practices.

Emperor Liu's purpose is also very clear. In addition to continuing to exercise his ability to think, judge, and handle affairs, it also allows him to have a deeper understanding of the implementation and operation of the "Kaibao New Deal" and understand his general principles of governing the country.The first year of Kaibao was an extremely critical turning point for the empire. As a prince, he could not be a bystander.

When Liu Yang stepped in, Emperor Liu couldn't see the sleepy eyes on his face, he stepped forward to salute, and called out respectfully: "Father!"

"Sit!" Glancing at the prince, Liu Chengyou signaled.

Zhu Zi wears a purple gold crown in court clothes, exuding a sense of dignity and majesty. The age of 15 years old may still look immature, but as a prince, he can already impose greater pressure and more responsibilities.

Seeing that he was bound by the imperial robe, even though the room was cool, he was still sweating profusely, Liu Chengyou said: "The weather is hot, take off the court robe!"

"Come here, give the prince a bowl of herbal tea!"

Liu Yang thanked him, and then took off his court clothes, his whole body immediately relaxed a lot. After drinking the herbal tea, a relaxed smile appeared on the green and handsome face.

"A while ago, there was a lot of trouble in the court. Recently, I am no longer in the palace, but in the court hall, has it ever been quieter?"

Holding a teapot in one hand and a feather fan in the other, Liu Chengyou at this time is not like an emperor sitting on the world, but more like a rich landlord in the countryside.However, Liu Yang didn't dare to comment on his demeanor. He focused all his attention on Emperor Liu's question. According to him, he seemed to come to Qionglin Garden to hide himself.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yang replied: "The day before yesterday, I received a report from Hezhong Mansion that there was no harvest for summer seedlings, and the number of hungry people increased sharply."

"There's a famine again?" Hearing this, Liu Chengyou straightened his upper body and said, "This is an urgent matter, how do you deal with it?"

"Order Hezhong Mansion to open porridge sheds to relieve the hungry people. He Zhongyi's storage is insufficient, so he adjusts grain from Shanzhou and Jinzhou!" Liu Yang replied: "In addition, send Yushi Zheng Qi to represent the imperial court and go to Hezhong to comfort, Solve the famine as soon as possible and restore law and order!"

"In addition, Duke Yu suggested that those who have no seedlings in the summer tax of Daozhou this year be exempted!"

Compared with the drought locust disasters in the past, this year's Hezhong is only a small hunger. For this, the imperial court has already had a set of countermeasures, and Liu Yang is also very familiar with it.

"However!" After hesitating for a while, Liu Yang continued: "Uncle said, there is a famine in the river, and the local government is suspected of delaying and concealing the report, so they should send someone to investigate!"

"What do you think?" Liu Chengyou became a little interested.

"I've checked it. In recent years, Hezhong has reported too many disasters, and the time of reporting this time seems to be a bit late. Therefore, I have no objection to sending someone to investigate!" Liu Yang said.

Emperor Liu's originally relaxed expression gradually turned serious. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Who is the current magistrate in Hezhong?"

Liu Yang responded, "It's An Shouzhen, the son of the late crown prince An Shenhui!"

An Shenhui is the elder brother of Xiangyang Wang An Shenqi. Although he has been dead for more than ten years, he is a very important figure in the An family.

"Heh!" Liu Chengyou laughed suddenly, and said lightly: "Back then, Li Shouzhen rebelled against the imperial court in Yinghezhong, and now there is another An Shouzhen, who is nominated by the imperial court to guard Hezhong. Is this fate?"

What Emperor Liu said was not a good one. Of course Liu Yang heard it. He paid attention to the emperor's face, and said: "The matter has not been investigated clearly, and we are not in a hurry to make a conclusion. Moreover, the prefect of An has been in office for less than two years, and He Zhong disasters, but it has been a long time”

Nodding his head, Liu Chengyou waved his hand: "Then wait until the results come out!"

"Yes!"

"How are the arrangements for the aftermath of Hexi?" Liu Chengyou asked again.

"After discussions in the Political Affairs Hall, it was decided to reset counties and towns in the four prefectures of Guasha, Gansu. The Ministry of Officials urgently transferred a group of officials from Guanlong to take up their posts in order to restore order as soon as possible. The Privy Council has also done Arrangements. My son's visit this time was arranged for the Hexi military, political and pastoral staff, and I ask you for orders!" Liu Yang said.

"Who are you going to arrange?" Liu Chengyou asked.

"Hexi's political envoy is still Wu Tingzuo; Lu Duoxun is the deputy envoy, who is responsible for the affairs of Quangua and Shazhou; Yang Tingzhang is the command envoy of the Hexi capital, responsible for reorganizing the garrison, adjusting the deployment, and clearing out Uighurs and Zhu Rong who are not ministers. "Chen Wantong is the envoy of the Dunhuang army, guarding Guasha!" Liu Yang said.

"Wang Yansheng and Guo Jin?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yang said: "You guys think that the second general has caused massacres in Gansu this time, and if he stays in the same year, it will only continue to arouse the hatred of the local people, which is inconvenient for naturalization and admission. Therefore, it is suggested that the second general be transferred Go back, make another assignment!"

"What do you think?" Liu Chengyou still stared at Liu Yang and asked his opinion.

Regarding this, Liu Yang pondered for a while, and said with a little hesitation: "Although it is somewhat unfair to Wang and Guo Erjiang, but for the overall situation of Hexi, we can only wrong them temporarily!"

"Let me ask you, after killing so many people, will those Uighurs and Gansu people forget their hatred and surrender sincerely just because the court transferred these two generals?" Liu Chengyou finally sat up from the couch and asked Liu Yang.

"This..." Liu Yang hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't!"

"Since that's the case, why not keep Wang Yansheng and Guo Jin in Hexi, relying on their reputation and prestige to frighten those Uighurs and escort them to the court?" Liu Chengyou said.

"However, because of the killing of the prisoners, there has been a lot of criticism from the DPRK and China."

"No one can survive in a war!" Liu Chengyou interrupted Liu Yang and stared at him.Seeing the tangled look on Liu Yang's face, Liu Chengyou's tone slowed down, and he said softly: "I don't like the killing of prisoners either. There are so many Uighur soldiers, so many young and strong, even if they are used to dig canals, open mines, and repair bridges." Paving the way can create a lot of value.

Killing in vain has no other benefit except to arouse the hatred of the local people.However, we are far away in Tokyo. For the generals on the front lines and the soldiers in battle, we should also consider their situation and understand their emotions. No matter what the process is, regaining Hexi is a great achievement for the court. The soldiers are not afraid of life and death, and they are bloody The results of the battle must not be easily obliterated! "

"Also, although the imperial court moved westward to recover the former land and the land that originally belonged to China, for the Uighurs who have been nomadic and farming in the local area for nearly a hundred years, we are invading and plundering their property. Invading their land, in this case, it is impossible to hope for a peaceful recovery without bloodshed.

The massacres at Yanzhi Mountain and Zendan City will certainly arouse the anger and hatred of the Uyghurs, but they will also make them fearful."

Hearing Emperor Liu's words, Liu Yang pondered for a while and asked, "How to resolve the hatred caused by the killing?"

Liu Chengyou smiled lightly: "One depends on the government's governance methods and policies, and the other takes time. Of course, the most important thing is that the strength of the big man is strong enough, and the authority of the court is enough to deter!"

Seriously comprehending Liu Chengyou's opinion, Liu Yang's expression finally calmed down, and then he asked: "In this case, some time ago, the Manchu court criticized, why didn't father send an edict to stop it? If you can speak, the ministers and workers will come if you want to." I won't make any more accusations about this!"

"One is that indiscriminate killing is indeed not what we have always advocated, and it is strictly prohibited in the military. Generals like Wang Yansheng and Guo Jin need to be alerted!" Liu Chengyou said calmly: "They are all powerful generals, but They are often rebellious and reckless, if they are not taught in time, they will inevitably lead to disaster!"

"I heard that the Marquis of Xiping made a big disaster in Tokyo and was sent to the northwest as a general!" Liu Yang said.

"That's right!" Emperor Liu sighed: "Back in the Huainan battlefield, Wang Yansheng had the act of killing and surrendering, and when he returned to Tokyo, he was domineering and reckless because of his pursuit of merit."

As he said that, he looked at Liu Yang again, and said: "You have to remember that sometimes killing is indeed the easiest way to solve a problem, but it often leads to endless disasters. You need to be careful when running an army, and you should think twice about running a country." Row."

"Yes!" Liu Yang replied respectfully.

In fact, Emperor Liu's words are just words, the truth is that truth, many people can understand, the key is how to do it.Emperor Liu has been convicted and sentenced to death all these years, and he has never thought twice about killing people?

"After this incident, Wang Yansheng and Guo Jin inevitably felt a little emotional and felt wronged. How do you think it should be resolved?" Liu Chengyou asked.

After thinking about it, Liu Yang suggested: "The two generals have been guarding the frontier state all year round, weathering the wind and rain, and they have worked hard. Why don't you take this opportunity and transfer back to Tokyo to serve in the Imperial Army?"

"That's it!" Liu Chengyou acted as if I listened to your suggestion.
