Chapter 1705 Monarchs and ministers are ruthless
"Since the crown prince has said so, you are free to speak up, and don't hold back any insights you have!" Emperor Liu looked at Zhao Pu and said softly: "Zhao Qing is the prime minister, come and correct the crown prince! "

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Zhao Pu stood up and cupped his hands, with an unusually respectful attitude, pondered a little, and said slowly: "The old minister is not flattering, the proposal of His Royal Highness is suitable for the time and situation, and I have discussed it before meeting with you. He believes that Yulin's top priority is not to be greedy for speed, so as to eliminate the rebels immediately.

It is still necessary to refrain from haste and use patience, proceed from the overall situation, control Yulin, and prevent the chaos from expanding.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said well, Yulin can be chaotic, but there can be no chaos in the pass, and there can be no chaos in the northwest.

Therefore, it is imperative to change the command and send generals to increase the number of troops. The bandits must not be allowed to spread. Guannei, Longyou, and Hexi must immediately impose martial law, block all major traffic routes, and prevent the bandits from dispersing and chaotic. .

Now that winter has entered, it is not conducive to fighting against bandits. After such a sudden change, Yulin's military and government will inevitably be in chaos. Yulin Prefecture and County, in this winter, should focus on maintaining stability and stabilizing the hearts of the government, army and people, especially the local Han people.

This chaos, the source of the disaster is obviously those party members who are not ministers. The strategy of suppressing bandits must also start with the party members. The policy must be clear, and those who dare to follow the bandits will be severely suppressed.

The imperial court can use one winter to deploy troops and generals, stockpile food and equipment, and prepare for a large-scale campaign after the beginning of spring.Yulin is remote and bitterly cold, and its products are barren. Its food, cloth, tea and other materials used to be supplied from outside. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the transportation of various materials, so that 1.1 meters of food cannot flow into the hands of rebels.”

"What Zhao Qing means is to trap the thieves first?" After listening to Zhao Pu's performance, Emperor Liu pondered for a while and said.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Pu bowed, "In the past year, Yulin was not effective in suppressing the thieves. The Duke of Yan may have mishandled it. The imperial court did not pay enough attention to it, so that minor illnesses turned into major disasters.

It is not too late to make amends. The disadvantages of Yulin lie first in the party's affairs. If the party's affairs are not balanced, the northwest will be in trouble.There are hundreds of thousands of Yulin party members. Even if not all of them have the intention of following the thief, they must be suspected of being a thief. The court must prepare for the worst and make the most adequate preparations. It must also be resolutely and completely eradicated.

The party item in the northwest has become a confidant's trouble. In order to ensure the stability of the society, even if it is killed, it will not hesitate! "

Apparently, what Zhao Pu said meant to echo Sacred Heart. After such a long time, the attitude of Emperor Liu towards the disease of the party has more or less spread and caused some discussions.

Today, Yanzhou has undergone drastic changes and the situation in Yulin is serious. Zhao Pu's attitude at this time is naturally to cater to Emperor Liu's will.

It really satisfied Emperor Liu, and his serious expression seemed to soften a bit. Emperor Liu looked around and said, "What do you think of what Zhao Qing said?"

After saying that, Han Tong, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up immediately, and said righteously: "What Zhao Xiang said is reasonable, the party members are not of my race, and they will not change after repeated admonitions. If they are not obedient, then they will be completely wiped out. The old minister agrees!"

Han Tong, the minister of the dragon, is also old now. He is nearly [-] years old and has a big belly, but he is full of energy. It seems that he can continue to shine for the court for a few more years.There have also been rumors in the court for a long time that when Han Hui, the southeast transshipment envoy, came to pay homage to the prime minister, it was also the time when the Duke of Hanoi completely retired.

After Han Tong said, Wang Zhu also spoke. Apart from being loyal to Emperor Liu, he also has some "angry youth" attributes. Naturally, there will be no weakness in his words. Also don't allow such rebellious thieves to gain a foothold, cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, so as to avoid future troubles!"

Soon, with regard to the Yulin Rebellion, or the Yulin Party, the Han monarchs and ministers reached a consensus. These people are enough to represent the attitude of the court. Of course, the core will always lie in the will of Emperor Liu.

"Your Majesty!" After Zhao Kuangyi also made some indignant remarks, he hesitated and got up and said.

Looking at him, Emperor Liu didn't hesitate and said directly, "What suggestion does Zhao Qing have?"

After a little deliberation, Zhao Kuangyi's tone was also cautious: "Your Majesty, there is a rebellion in Yanzhou, and there are more than ten thousand rebels. Apart from the party and rebels, there are also some powerful Han people with ulterior motives.

It was reported in the Diyanzhou Zoubao that within a few days, there were more than ten thousand thieves, but they could not be controlled.The thieves and bandits in Yanzhou came later, but their power is far greater than that in Xiazhou. If you study the reasons carefully, there must be a number of Han people who have forgotten their ancestors and who have been betrayed and made troubles.

Therefore, the minister believes that to suppress the rebellion in the Northwest, the party must be eliminated, and the local tyrants and bandits who are devoted to it must also be eliminated! "

"Zhao Qing is right!" After Zhao Kuangyi finished speaking, Emperor Liu immediately slammed the case, and said in a serious tone: "The chaos of the party is not worthy of anger. Those who hate it are actually those internal thieves! The harm of internal thieves has always been far greater than that of external thieves. Misfortune, for those who belong to the thieves, the three clans must be wiped out! That Yuan Ke, an unknown person, dared to raise the flag to create chaos, and he needed to be punished with capital punishment, killing the nine clans, and cutting him to pieces!"

Even if it wasn't aimed at himself, Emperor Liu's murderous appearance still made the ministers present tremble with fear.

Zhao Kuangyi also felt his heart tremble inexplicably, suppressing the unsteady mood, Zhao Kuangyi continued: "For traitors, we should punish them harshly, so as to serve as an example to others.

However, since ancient times, rebels have gathered crowds to cause chaos and plundered the countryside. They are used to deceiving people's hearts.

There are also those who bind the people into chaos. The people will die if they follow the thieves, and they will die if they don't follow the thieves.Therefore, the minister believes that for those people who have been coerced, the imperial court should also issue a proclamation that those who beheaded the heads of the thieves and surrendered to the officers and soldiers can be pardoned for their crimes, so as to divide the thieves and dispel their power! "

As soon as this suggestion came out, Prince Liu Yang immediately agreed.He may not have much sympathy for party members, but he is still willing to give more tolerance to innocent people.

Therefore, following Zhao Kuangyi, he advised Emperor Liu: "Yulin Road, in addition to hundreds of thousands of party members, there are also hundreds of thousands of Han people. The court must take measures to appease and unite those good people and let them It is also necessary to distinguish between relying on the imperial court and fighting rebels, and those who follow the thieves. The first culprit must be punished, and the rest who have meritorious deeds can avoid death.

Zhao Xiang suggested that the minister thought it was okay.In addition, besides the Han Min Dangxiang, there are many miscellaneous Hus. For these tribes, the imperial court should also show a little friendliness in order to win them over, so as to prevent them from acting as minions and exterminating the Dangxiang's rebellion, and they can also recruit them! "

After Liu Yang finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Liu, waiting for his reaction.However, Emperor Liu fell into deep thought, and after a while, he just uttered a word: "Yes!"

"But!" Emperor Liu followed up with a turning point: "The change in Yulin, the disaster lies in the party, and it is actually those barbarians who do not accept the king's transformation. It is okay to drive out the miscellaneous barbarians to suppress the party, but to eliminate a scourge, we must strictly prevent it from rising. new scourge.

How the Tuoba Dangxiang rose in the first place, and how the Dingnan Army was established, this point requires vigilance.Therefore, the imperial court's attitude and policy towards the Hu people in Yulin needs to be further clarified. Those who are not friends are enemies, and those who are loyal are thieves. For the enemy! "

After Emperor Liu finished speaking, Liu Yang, Zhao Pu and others looked at each other a few times, and then said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Although this kind of thinking is in line with Emperor Liu's usual strong style, but at the current juncture, if such a drastic countermeasure is taken, there may be some mistakes.

However, it cannot be said that Emperor Liu's considerations were wrong, and he had to be praised for his foresight, seeing the problem directly to the essence, and all considerations were for the long-term stability of Yulin.

What's more, even more drastic measures are already being prepared, so I'm not afraid of being out of control.Therefore, the strategy of suppressing thieves in Yulin was also finalized from this, resolutely exterminated the party rebellion, divided and dealt with the Han rebels, and drove the rest of the miscellaneous people into a knife.

Of course, this involves a basic problem, that is, how to distinguish between loyal, traitorous, good and evil officials and traitors. This is not an easy job, and it is obviously impossible to be perfect in the process of execution.

The measure is not to rely on the emperor and ministers in the Chongzheng Palace to talk about it two thousand miles away, but to send a capable minister and general to preside over it.

As for the candidate, Liu Yang has already proposed, or in other words, Emperor Liu has long been prepared in his heart, otherwise, why would he transfer King Zhao Liu Fang to Chang'an early on.

Therefore, Emperor Liu directly made a decision: "The matter is so settled. Send an edict to Liu Fang, the king of Zhao, to lead the garrison troops in the pass to the north, succeed Wang Yu, set up a bandit suppression camp, and take full charge of Yulin's suppression of the rebellion! Well, let Tian Chongjin lead [-] forbidden troops to go there. The Northwest participates in countering the rebellion, dispatching troops and dispatching generals, the Privy Council should make a plan, and the Ministry of War should fully cooperate!"

"Yes!" A group of ministers stood up and obeyed the order in unison.

After finishing speaking, Emperor Liu said to Liu Yang again: "Send a message to Liu Fang for me. Doesn't he want to kill the thief himself? Now that I have given him this opportunity, it depends on his performance. Don't fall into his prestige as King Zhao." , Let the world laugh.

What's more, the strategy formulated by the imperial court must be conveyed in place, and Liu Fang must be fully implemented. How to do it, he has the right to do things cheaply, but he must not violate the major policies! "

"Yes!"
