Han Shizu

Chapter 1185 Approval of Emperor Liu

Back in the Chuigong Palace, Emperor Liu still washed his face first, changed his clothes, barely got rid of the smell of wine and powder on his body, and appeared in front of Liu Yang and the others after refreshing himself. It's been almost half an hour.

Therefore, as soon as Emperor Liu came out, he made a confession. Of course, it was only for Zhao Kuangzan. Facing the few people who were saluting, he personally helped Zhao Kuangzan and said, "Excuse me! Get up!"

"This time, Zhao Qing accompanied the two sons to the west, and took care of supporting them all the way. Zhao Qing has worked hard!" Emperor Liu praised Zhao Kuang with a smile.

Facing Emperor Liu's attitude, Zhao Kuangzan bowed and smiled and said, "Your Majesty is serious. Mr. Qin is capable and Mr. Zhao is heroic. They are both dragons and phoenixes among men. I am just a follower on patrol, so why not support them!"

"Qing is being self-effacing, and you're praising the second son too much!" Emperor Liu cheerfully glanced at Liu Xu and Liu Fang, and said, "My second son has no hair on his mouth, lacks experience, doesn't know far, and still lacks knowledge. Practice!"

That being said, the joy on Emperor Liu's face cannot be fooled.Walking in front of Liu Xu, he patted his shoulder vigorously, squeezed his muscles, and said with a light smile, "Going out for a while, my body has strengthened a lot. It seems that Feng Shui in the Northwest really sharpens people!"

Naturally, Liu Xu respectfully agreed, and walking in front of Liu Fang, the son immediately puffed up his chest, as if expecting Emperor Liu to review.Emperor Liu made a serious face on purpose, and said: "I heard that you, this time in the northwest, also participated in the suppression of bandits, and personally beheaded two horse bandits?"

Although Liu Fang was a little guilty under the gaze of Emperor Liu, when he mentioned this matter, he still felt like being poked into an itch, and said happily: "It's just two bandits in the district. If Yang Yanzhao didn't stop me, I could kill more thieves." Steal!"

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Emperor Liu immediately reprimanded: "Bold! Add to the chaos! Letting you study and practice martial arts is to do this kind of act of killing Han? Don't forget your identity!"

Liu Fang obviously disagreed with Emperor Liu's statement, noticed Emperor Liu's face, hesitated for a while, and said with a pursed mouth: "I practice literature and martial arts for the purpose of fighting the enemy, otherwise what's the use of learning? Now that I'm in the battle, I'm a big man, so why should I care about my identity? You always say that I need to train more, and I want to be a general, how can I be afraid of this little danger."

Like falling beans, Liu Fang spit out a little depression in his heart. Obviously, his experience in the Northwest did not let go. Most likely, even going to suppress the bandits took a lot of talking and was restricted.

Of course, compared to Pingnan back then, Pan Mei should be more comfortable in the army.You know, back then in Lingnan, not to mention going to battle to kill the enemy, they were not even allowed to get close to the front line, and they were more likely to follow Pan Mei's side and learn experience outside the battlefield.

Hearing Liu Fang's words, Emperor Liu stared and reprimanded: "You just said a few words, and you got such rebuttals, your wings are stiff, and you want to fly solo?"

Hearing this, Liu Fang showed some dissatisfaction on his face, his neck was stiff, and he cupped his hands and said, "I dare not!"

Seeing this, Liu Xu hurriedly said: "Fourth brother has always been magnanimous, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me if my words conflict!"

Emperor Liu was really angry with his son, it was just a usual method of training, and he was satisfied with Liu Fang's performance in his heart. The years of precipitation in the third hall were also useful, at least he did not have the obvious impetuosity of the past.

"Still not convinced?" Emperor Liu looked at Liu Fang.

"No!" Liu Fang lowered his head.

"Don't you want to lead troops? Don't you want to be a general? I will give you a chance to go to the Long Jie Army and be a small captain!" Emperor Liu finally smiled.

Hearing this, Liu Fang was a little surprised, and then confirmed, "Really?"

"You have no jokes!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Fang then bowed solemnly, not disliking the small captain's position.

For Liu Fang, even if he is only a small captain, in fact, compared with the previous time in the Ministry of War, although his title and title are high, they are all vain.Obviously, this is when Emperor Liu really let go of his hands to train Liu Fang.

Although it was already late, Emperor Liu listened carefully to the results of Liu Xu's inspection tour in the Northwest after the monarchs and ministers were seated.In some cases and certain matters, Emperor Liu had already known about them.

What he wanted to hear was the understanding and judgment from Liu Xu and Zhao Kuangzan.Of course, Zhao Kuangzan was very witty and didn't talk too much, just to add, the main answer was still Liu Xu.

Northwest military, government and people's livelihood, the general situation, did not elaborate, but about the banditry. Combined with his conversation with Liu Yang, Liu Xu stated it to Emperor Liu. Of course, he did not conceal Liu Yang's opinion.

"Good! Very good!" After listening to Liu Xu's report, Emperor Liu took a picture of the imperial case, looked at Liu Xu and said, "You brothers have a very deep understanding! At the beginning of the founding of the country, the world was in turmoil, the universe was restless, and thieves arose. It is the most urgent task of the imperial court. It took nearly three years before it was completely settled down. Now, the world is unified, but the northwest is full of bandits. How can it be tolerated?
Of course thieves are the biggest scourge to the security of the country and the peace of the people. Those tribes who are honest and treacherous, collude with them, and secretly communicate with them are even more abominable. Why not use violent laws to eradicate them with severe punishment! "

As he said that, Emperor Liu's ruddy face was already full of murderous intent, and his eyes were especially sharp: "The banditry in the Northwest has been banned repeatedly, and it has become the most serious obstacle to the security of the four roads in the Northwest. I have long been determined to get rid of it." It is not allowed, and there will be more delays, so as not to cause long-term disasters!"

Emperor Liu then ordered to Liu Yang: "Send an edict to the civil and military forces in the Northwest to launch a comprehensive suppression of bandits, at any cost and by any means. I want to see a Northwest where there are no bandits and bandits within a year.

As for those Hulu tribes who secretly colluded with the horse bandits, they will be rectified according to the law. Now that the root of the problem has been discovered, then give me the right medicine!

Don't be afraid to cause turmoil, write my meaning into the imperial edict, show off civil and military inside and outside, and hide people with evil intentions, I will never tolerate them! "

Emperor Liu's words were resolute and powerful, full of momentum, Liu Yang didn't dare to neglect, silently recorded the meaning of Emperor Liu's imperial edict in his heart, and replied: "Yes!"

However, after calming down and pondering for a while, Emperor Liu added: "In addition, a separate edict will be issued to the military and political officials of the four kingdoms. To deal with horse bandits, we should kill them all; to deal with bandits colluding with bandits, we must also eradicate all evil. However, for specific implementation, the means must be flexible, targeted and determined, and not blindly expanded, and the scale is up to them to grasp. No matter what, the imperial court is their most solid backing!"

"Yes!"

Obviously, Emperor Liu's mind is still clear.This is also the situation in the Northwest, but there is a partial illness, and the impact is not too great, so the actions are relatively restrained, taking the overall situation into consideration.

And if there is a turbulent situation and it is difficult to deal with it, in order to stabilize and solve the trouble, he will not hesitate to use harsher methods, and he will not hesitate to make his blood flow into rivers.

"How about the relocation in the Northwest?" Emperor Liu took the initiative to ask.

The problem of alien Hulu is a chronic disease in the Northwest and the main contradiction, but what Emperor Liu is more concerned about is the fundamental situation of Han people's relocation.

To this, Liu Xu gave a good answer: "After so many years, most of the people who moved to the west have already settled down, and basically have their own industries whether they cultivate land, animal husbandry, or business. The tax-free policy for [-] has been stabilized!"

Referring to the situation of the Han people, Liu Xu continued: "After discussing with King Dongping and others, the ministers agreed that most of the Han people in the northwest are still concentrated in the pass. Although the three provinces of Longyou, Hexi, and Yulin have relocated their households, they still have relatives. Compared with a large number of Hulu, it is still rare and extremely unevenly distributed, which is not conducive to the rule of the court. We still need to find ways to continue to move to the northwest!"

Emperor Liu nodded and thought seriously. Up to now, no matter how forced he is, it may not be appropriate. The internal population is far from overflowing, so we can only consider and guide it from the policy aspect. However, How many people are willing to go to the Northwest to open up wasteland and use love to generate electricity?
If you want to have a significant effect, you have to rely on the leadership of the government.In addition, a large number of relocations into the country, the contradiction between Hu and Han is also an inevitable problem, which has to be considered.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Liu looked up at the few people, and said with a smile, "That's it for today! You have come back from a long journey, and you should have set up a banquet to cleanse the dust, but it's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Hearing what Emperor Liu meant, it was obvious that he wanted to drive people away. Liu Xu, Liu Fang, and Zhao Kuangzan were indeed exhausted, so they took the initiative to resign.Emperor Liu urged the two brothers: "Go and see the queen first!"

"Yes!"

"Father, when I was returning to the city, I heard about a murder case, and I thought I should report it to you!" Liu Yang stayed and reported.
