Han Shizu

Chongzheng Hall still had the same temperament, majestic and solemn, and it was even more gloomy under the winter night. There were a lot of ever-burning lamps in the hall, brightly lit, but they couldn't dispel the haze that enveloped people's hearts.

Emperor Liu sat alone in the court case, with no expression on his face, showing no emotion, but everyone knew that the emperor was very angry and dangerous at this time.

There were several figures standing in front of the imperial court, headed by Zhao Pu, Song Qi, Zhao Kuangyi, Wang Zhu, Liu Tinghan, Lu Duan, and the Minister of War Han Tong, all members of the political affairs hall were there. Except for Zhao Kuangyi who was on duty, they were all called from the mansion. Came into the palace.

All of them lowered their heads and bent slightly, waiting for the reprimand from Emperor Liu.As a matter of fact, Emperor Liu didn't even look at a seat for this important minister of the Ganzhu Kingdom and the prime minister, which was very different from his usual style. Of course, it was possible that he didn't care about these things at all.

When Liu Yang arrived, Emperor Liu had already opened his mouth, and directly challenged Zhao Kuangyi: "Didn't you still boast about the king before? After your meritorious service, you have learned from a famous family and are familiar with the art of war. You are worthy of a great responsibility.

This is the way of doing things. After suppressing bandits for a year, there are more and more bandits. Xiazhou is not peaceful yet, and Yanzhou is in chaos again. Fort, the good thing is that the generals disagree, and the good thing is that there is chaos in Yulin."

Faced with Emperor Liu's stern reprimand, Zhao Kuangyi couldn't help but feel aggrieved. He just said a few words for him because of his past friendship with Wang Yu, and the fact that he was also a noble son.

Zhao Kuangyi was not the only one who spoke good things about Wang Dian in the court, not to mention, the appointment of Wang Dian was a matter of Emperor Liu himself, and the object of Wang Pu's petition was also Emperor Liu when he was sick.

Now, something went wrong with Wang Yu, but Emperor Liu pointed the finger at him, Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Kuangyi felt that he had suffered an indiscriminate disaster.But there is no way, who knows that at this moment, he is the only one in the palace who has ever stood up for Wang Yi.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyi's city government would not show those superfluous and meaningless emotions. On the contrary, facing Emperor Liu's terrifying gaze, he could only plead guilty in all sincerity: "It's my minister who is obsessed with human feelings and doesn't know people well. Lost, the minister begged to surrender!"

For Zhao Kuangyi's "sincere" attitude, even Emperor Liu couldn't be more harsh.Emperor Liu himself knew in his heart that it was a bit reluctant to bring this matter to Zhao Kuangyi. The reason why he said those words was not only to express his dissatisfaction with Yulin and Wang Yu, but also to beat Zhao Kuangyi.

Since the Ludoxon case, Zhao Kuangyi has obviously kept a low profile, as if he had disguised himself for defense, which once made Emperor Liu feel helpless.

In the past year, in terms of hard work and hard work, almost no one in the court can compare with him, and his down-to-earth performance has won him a lot of praise.In the eyes of the courtiers, Zhao Kuangyi is smart, capable, conscientious, diligent, and has an image of a loyal and good-looking minister.

In the past, the crown prince and Zhao Pu were undoubtedly the most diligent people in the court, but compared with Zhao Kuangyi today, it is found that there are more ruthless ones.

Unlike ordinary people, Emperor Liu, who possessed foresight, naturally looked at Zhao Kuangyi with special eyes. Even if he was far from being as jealous as he was towards Zhao Kuangyin, he always paid more attention to him.

And after so many years of observation and appointment, Emperor Liu also confirmed that Zhao Kuangyi is indeed a politically capable person. No matter how complicated the affairs of the court are, he can handle them one by one. There is nothing he can't manage. In terms of politics, he has always been handy.

In the past year or so, under the circumstance that Zhao Pu intends to retire and delegate power, many affairs in the imperial court have fallen into the hands of Song Qi and Zhao Kuangyi, and judging from the results, Zhao Kuangyi has done a really good job.

However, even if you have appreciation in your heart, you still have to beat what should be beaten.At the same time, Emperor Liu also wanted to force Zhao Kuangyi to see if he would show any signs, so don't be so deep and steady all day long.

However, at this time, seeing Zhao Kuangyi's accusation, his attitude is considered sincere, but still as immobile as a mountain, Emperor Liu always felt a little bored.

He basically stared at Zhao Kuangyi, seeing his head drooping a little more, and then he withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "I will not blame you for my words, and the matter in Yulin has nothing to do with you, Zhao Qing. I am not so ignorant that I am innocent. punish!"

"Your Majesty is serious!" Zhao Kuangyi buried his head and cupped his fists, so that people could not see his expression.

Seeing the scene where the monarch and his subjects were getting along, Liu Yang couldn't help but look at Zhao Kuangyi, saying that he admired this Concubine Zhao's uncle very much.

He stepped forward to salute, but was interrupted by Emperor Liu. However, seeing Liu Yang consciously standing with the ministers, he frowned and waved his hands: "What are you doing standing? There are no seats in the palace. Sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" A group of ministers hurriedly expressed their thanks.

As an old minister who followed Emperor Liu, Wang Zhu glanced over the prince, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it must be His Royal Highness, otherwise, they would have to suffer in front of the emperor for a long time, without any trace. Touching the old waist, I am getting older, and I really can't stand it.

When the officials were seated, Emperor Liu looked at Liu Yang and said, "Murong Defeng has already told you about the situation in Yulin!"

Liu Yang nodded and said, "Yes!"

Emperor Liu looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it, how should we deal with it? The prince will talk first!"

On the way into the palace, Liu Yang had been thinking about how to deal with the Yulin Rebellion, and at this moment, he had already prepared a plan in his mind.Therefore, it was not cramped to be named to speak, and he cupped his hands and said: "I think that the most urgent task at the moment is to dispatch troops to suppress the rebels, and control the rebels in Yulin. The chaos in Yulin will cause chaos, and the chaos must not spread to Guanzhong. Otherwise, the damage caused by the shock in the northwest may not be borne by the imperial court.

In addition, since Li Jiqian's rebellion, the local government troops in Yulin have been suppressing for more than a year, and they have been inexhaustible. In addition to the special local situation, the lack of troops is also a problem. Siege.

Before that, there were not many Dangxiang members who participated in Li Ni's rebellion, but with the Yanzhou incident, it was inevitable that the ministers would suffer the disaster of Dangxiang. We must take precautions against the hundreds of thousands of Dangxiang members in Yulin and be prepared to suppress them.

Regarding the setback of Zhen'an Fort and the defeat of Meng Xuanzhe, the court still needs to investigate the specific circumstances.The minister believes that under the current situation, the strategy of suppressing thieves implemented in Yulin in the past is no longer sufficient, and we should seek changes and fundamental governance.

At the same time, Yulin suppressed the rebellion, and Wang Yan was unbearable to be a commander. The minister suggested that Liu Fang, the king of Zhao, go to Xiazhou to take full charge of suppressing the bandits, return Yulin, return the northwest, and return the country to a clear sky! "

Liu Yang told his thoughts one by one. Emperor Liu listened carefully, and seemed to be thinking about it. When he came back to his senses, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

"Do you have anything to add to the prince's proposal?" In the words, it was already approved.

It was Zhao Pu who spoke first, although his old face was reserved, but his tone was obviously respectful: "Your Highness's thoughts and concerns are already very thoughtful and appropriate, and can be adopted!"

Hearing Zhao Pu's words, Liu Yang shook his head and said: "One person's plan is short, like the Yulin incident, which involves the people's well-being and the stability of the society. It requires collective wisdom and efforts to speak freely. I also hope that Zhao Xiang will not hesitate to enlighten me."
