"With regard to the war in the Western Regions, there should be no shortage of necessary support, especially the supply of military supplies. As for the others, it depends on the development of the situation!" Emperor Liu briefly explained the war in the Western Regions.

He didn't talk much, but his attitude was very clear. However, judging from the tone of his words, the progress of the war in the Western Regions still failed to meet his intentions. Stubbornly aggressive with unrealistic instructions.

"As for the Yulin Rebellion, give Wang Yu another job to make a book. Don't repeat it again and again. Li Jiqian, who has been suppressed for more than half a year, still let the leader of the bandit go unpunished. If he feels that he is not capable enough, let him go as soon as possible!" Emperor Liu said coldly.

Although he said in his mouth that everything should be handled by the prince, Emperor Liu unconsciously gave instructions on every matter and every task, uttering his voice and emphasizing his will.For the son-in-law, every instruction is a bondage, and it is a manifestation of his refusal to let go of his power.

"Yes!" Liu Yang had long been used to it, silently recorded Emperor Liu's instructions, and responded calmly.

And from Emperor Liu's words, he also heard something strange. Emperor Liu's dissatisfaction with Wang Yu's ineffective suppression of thieves and failure to eradicate Li Jiqian's scourge obviously increased.

Then contacting what he had heard about some gossip about Wang Yu's tenure in Yulin, Liu Yang's heart inevitably added to his worries.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Yang said: "Father, the fourth younger brother came to the table a few days ago, hoping to go to Yulin to suppress the thieves!"

Hearing this news, Emperor Liu finally had some changes on his face, he picked up some interest, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that Liu Fang can't sit still anymore! What are you thinking?"

Liu Yang said without hesitation: "The fourth younger brother is familiar with military affairs and has a lot of prestige. Among the clan, no one can control soldiers and dispatch generals. If the fourth younger brother can go to Yulin to preside over the affairs of suppressing thieves, he will be able to Decide the place and return the people to law and order!"

Regarding this, Emperor Liu nodded his head, but he vetoed it: "A little Li Jiqian has been newly created. Does he need a prince to go into battle? How can he use a bull's knife to kill a chicken? Tell Liu Fang, his The mission is to sit in the northwest, don't just stare at one Yulin!"

Emperor Liu said so, so there was no room for Liu Yang to argue, even in his heart he believed that Liu Fang could quickly quell the turmoil.

Although Wang Yu came from a famous family and read some military books after his meritorious service, his past experience has always been based on calmness and law and order, and he has not fought any tough battles, nor has he had any outstanding achievements.Therefore, many people think that Li Jiqian's incessant suppression is due to his inability to match, even Liu Yang has such an idea.

Tilting his head slightly, Emperor Liu cast his eyes on Liu Yang, seeing hesitation on his face, he asked, "Do you seem to have any concerns?"

Liu Yang came back to his senses, lowered his head, and said softly: "Since father thinks that killing chickens does not require a sledgehammer, let Wang Yu continue to work hard for the time being to make things happen.

However, no matter what, Yulin Dao's previous raids finally yielded some gains. They severely damaged the bandit army, captured thousands of people, and even destroyed Li Jiqian's lair.Even if you can't do your best, it's inconvenient to reward, but you should be rewarded. If you blindly supervise with strict orders, you may change your mind? "...

Hearing what Liu Yang said, Emperor Liu raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "You are kind, you are speaking for Wang Yu!"

Liu Yang said in a deep voice, "I'm just talking about the facts!"

Emperor Liu smiled, pondered for a while, sighed, and said, "I was eager to do this, and I didn't think carefully about it. For the soldiers who have made great contributions to suppressing bandits in Yulin, let the Ministry of War record their meritorious service and reward them, so that they can make persistent efforts. As for the king Well, it depends on his next performance!"

"Yes, I will do it later!" Seeing that Emperor Liu accepted his opinion, Liu Yang was slightly happy, and hurriedly responded.

"Last year when Li Jiqian first rebelled, there were no more than a thousand thieves, and the number of prisoners who were kidnapped by him was less than two thousand. It has only been more than half a year, and thousands of thieves have been captured! This banditry is getting more and more. ?” Emperor Liu’s tone returned to his indifference.

Speaking of this, Liu Yang seemed to be a little sad, and said: "Since the beginning of spring, Li Jiqian has attacked and harassed everywhere, bewitching people's hearts, coercing a group of party members, and many people left their families and followed him. This official The army raided Jinze, and all those captured were those party members who followed him!"

"What are the Yulin government and the army doing?" Emperor Liu immediately showed a stern expression: "Martial law control has such an effect? ​​Martial law is not strict, and control is not controlled. What's the use? Hug the court?

Go, send someone to check and see if there are any neglected and dereliction of duty, and anyone who does not try their best!Come to think of it, there should be some, otherwise, how could the rebels have been rampant so far! "

"Please calm down, dad!" Seeing that Emperor Liu's anger surfaced, and his breath was not stable, Liu Yang hurriedly persuaded him.

After pondering for a while, Liu Yang said calmly: "Father, regarding Li Jiqian's rebellion, during this period of time, my son has been thinking over and over again, and has listened to many courtiers' suggestions. The ministers believe that Li Jiqian's rebellion is not caused by Li Jiqian, but by the party. There is no party item to gather support from the crowd, and there is no repetition of Li Jiqian.

At present, there are turmoil in Yulin, and the party is alienated. If the party is not peaceful, Li Jiqian's harm will be hard to get rid of.To Li Jiqian, the party item is like its source and root. Before the imperial court suppressed bandits, the target was directed at Li Jiqian's rebels.

If you want to eradicate Li Ni, you should start from the party. If you can cut off the connection between the party members and Li Ni, so that they can't get the food and money support from the party, and even if Li Ni struggles and becomes a disaster, he will be like a fish out of water, waiting to die That's all! "

After Liu Yang finished speaking, he bowed his head and leaned over, quietly waiting for Emperor Liu's tasting.But Emperor Liu pondered for a while, looked at him in amazement, and said with emotion: "I am very relieved that you can have this insight, and it really took some effort to live up to my expectations.

What you said is actually a method to cure the root cause. If people without party items gather together to create chaos, how can Li Jiqian be a Taoist? "

"More compliments from my father, but this is the wisdom of the officials, not my opinion, but my son just thinks it is reasonable and accepts it!" Liu Yang said.

"Oh?" Emperor Liu asked with great interest: "Do all those officials hold this view?"

Liu Yang said softly: "Zhao Xiang, Song Xiang (Song Qi), and Zhang Qixian, the servant of the Ministry of Industry!"

"Zhang Qixian!" Not paying attention to the two prime ministers, Emperor Liu focused his attention on Zhang Qixian, and said with a chuckle, "This man is a capable official, why would he think of making him a servant of the Ministry of Industry, and he can go to Yulin Dao as the chief envoy?" !”…

Liu Yang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, he was a little uncertain whether Emperor Liu was joking or really meant it, and cautiously reminded: "It's been less than a year since Zhang Qixian was transferred to Beijing from Jiangning Mansion."

"Then let it go first!" Emperor Liu waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

After pondering for a moment, put away his lazy posture, raised his eyes and stared straight at Liu Yang: "Your thinking is in the right direction, but how to cut off the connection between party members and Li Ni?

Martial law control seems to be difficult to achieve, and it is difficult to prevent the party members from being bewitched by it and gathering together to cause chaos.How to implement this root-curing strategy is the most critical point! "

"Father is right, it can be said to be right in one word!" Liu Yang gave a small compliment.

Just as he was about to speak out, he heard Emperor Liu's voice say coldly: "If there are no party members, they will exhaust their resources, dry up their sources, and dry up the root of Li Niwei's chaos, so why worry about the chaos?"

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, even with Liu Yang's current city mansion, he couldn't help showing surprise.

The meaning revealed in Emperor Liu's words was a bit horrifying. Liu Yang subconsciously believed that Emperor Liu had the intention of killing all the party members.

The reason why he spoke to Emperor Liu was that he was asking for both kindness and power, to appease the party members and at the same time eliminate his rebellious heart, and fundamentally eliminate Li Ni.

However, the purpose is the same, but the consideration of the means may be very different.Although Emperor Liu didn't say it bluntly, since he spoke, it must have that meaning, and based on Liu Yang's understanding of Emperor Liu, he really did it.

Noticing Liu Yang's strangeness, Emperor Liu smiled slightly: "Why, are you worried about those party members?"

Liu Yang shook his head: "As for the rebels, naturally they should be killed, but the party's money is hundreds of thousands..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Liu said indifferently: "If hundreds of thousands of party members are all turned into traitors, how should the court respond? Is it necessary to compromise?"

Liu Yang said: "The situation is far from being so serious!"

Emperor Liu: "If Li Jiqian is allowed to run rampant for a while longer, it will be hard to say!"

After speaking, Emperor Liu slowly retreated into the reclining chair again, and said in a leisurely manner: "Since there is still something to pursue, let's see how the situation develops first!"

Obviously, at this time, Emperor Liu still had a little patience for the Yulin Rebellion. However, if this little patience was worn away, the consequences would be serious and terrifying.

And Liu Yang reacted so quickly this time, and quickly understood what Emperor Liu meant, and someone had expressed similar views in advance.

During the discussion on the fundamental solution, another person spoke to Liu Yang, and that was his concubine Xiao.

Although it was just chatting, Liu Yang found that his views as a concubine were no less than those of the governing ministers.Regarding the solution to the chaos of the party, Xiao Yanyan also said, if the party does not exist, what is the chaos?
Of course, Liu Yang still kept this matter a secret, and only treated it as a private word of the concubine, otherwise it would not be a good thing to spread it out!
