Han Shizu

Chapter 1706
After the agreement was over, the atmosphere not only did not ease up, but returned to a dull state.Seeing this important official, sitting there obediently like a student in class, for a while, Emperor Liu also found it interesting.

"Haha." Emperor Liu let out a sudden burst of laughter. Although there was a bit of a superficial smile, it broke the somewhat stiff atmosphere.

All the ministers looked at Emperor Liu, only to see him ask in a questioning tone: "What's the matter, my lords? Being so dejected is not in line with the bearing of your high-ranking prime ministers and ministers of the Zhu Kingdom."

Facing everyone's eyes, Emperor Liu said slowly: "The chaos in Yulin is good for the country and the people. Of course it is not a good thing, but it is not a bad thing! Before that, I have been exploring what happened in the Northwest, and I have been investigating those troubles. kind.

Now, the rebels have shown signs and have nothing to hide, and they can be wiped out in one fell swoop, and Yulin will be completely cleaned up, so as to prevent them from lurking in the dark and fighting against the court.

Compared with those thieves who sink under the water, the exposed enemies are not scary!Under the scorching sun, how can treachery be tolerated? Don't you have confidence in the imperial court? "

When Emperor Liu said these words, the ministers couldn't help but have strange expressions on their faces, but soon they all agreed, praising Emperor Liu for being confident and imposing, and that the rebellion would be wiped out.

"Smile!" Emperor Liu said again, scanning the crowd.

There was no reason to refuse Emperor Liu's request. No matter what feelings he felt in his heart, all the ministers laughed, wryly, dryly, or embarrassingly, and the Chongzheng Palace also regained some anger.

"Although it's late, but the matter is urgent and state affairs take priority. You should return to your duties and go on business!" Emperor Liu let them go and waved his hand.

"Sir, please retire!"

The ministers retreated slowly, and the hall became empty. Prince Liu Yang and Wu De envoy Li Chongju were left behind by Emperor Liu. Obviously, there were other explanations.

Looking at Li Chongju, Emperor Liu ordered: "Your Wu Desi is an elite group in the northwest. I can forgive you for not showing up and doing nothing in the past, but now, I want to see your role!

Although there was a rebellion in Yanzhou, Wang Xuanzhen was not at a loss when dealing with it, and I will not add any crimes. He also served as a patrol mission in the Northwest, so he was temporarily stationed in Yanzhou. Go to camp and help counter the rebellion! "

"The rebellion in Yulin, let me keep an eye on it. The whole northwest is the same. The chaos started in Yulin, but the court's vision can't be limited to Yulin. Outside of Yulin, there are still many sneakers. You heard the discussion in Shicai Palace. The bottom line of the court , Yulin is in chaos, we must not let it spread and bring disaster to the Northwest!" Emperor Liu's tone became tougher, and it could even be seen as a warning.

"Yes!" Li Chongju's expression was also very serious, and he replied solemnly: "I plan to lead the Wude Camp to the northwest and monitor it myself!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu was a little surprised, but seeing Li Chongju's dignified expression, he showed a generous expression, nodded and said: "Since Qing is tireless and courageous, I naturally have no reason to refuse. Wang Xuanzhen is in Yulin, so you can go to the pass !"

"In addition, there is another matter that the imperial court still needs to be vigilant about!" After pondering for a while, Li Chongju said again.

"speak!"

"It's about the prisoner camps in various places. Wu Desi was ordered to investigate before. Prisoners from all over the place have been punished for their crimes and suffered a lot. They hate the imperial court deeply. The previous riots are proof.

The rebellion in Yulin and the turmoil in the Northwest. At the time of the upheaval, it is even more necessary to prevent the instigation of traitors. If the criminals participate in the rebellion, their hatred will be as deep as the sea, and they will never die.

Last year, Li Jiqian raised an incident, and this Yanzhou rebellion included attacking prison camps and attracting chaos.Now there are no fewer than 70,000 people in prison in the Northwest, and control must be strengthened! "

After listening to Li Chongju mentioning the issue of prison camps again, Emperor Liu frowned, turned to look at Liu Yang, and said: "You suggested before that the policy on the management of prisoners in the world can be adjusted appropriately to dispel grievances. Let's do it!"

After thinking for a while, Emperor Liu said: "No matter what, the prisoner camp cannot be dismantled. I also know that there are many prisoner camp officials who frequently beat, scold, oppress and even kill prisoners. , how can it not arouse resistance!"

"Yes!" Liu Yang replied immediately.For this matter, Liu Yang is still willing to do it, not because he sympathizes with those criminals. After all, most of those who were thrown into prison camps cannot be regarded as good people. Yes, some petty officials use this to commit crimes.

"In addition, aren't Anxi and Andong both short of people? You can select some of them and send them to the two places. Those who live in Anxi and Andong will be exempted from prison. Exchanging torture for exile is a grace given by the court. It depends on them. Choose!" Emperor Liu said again.

"About the Northwest Prisoner's Camp, after you arrive, you will be in charge of rectifying it!" Emperor Liu looked at Li Chongju, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "From now on, the prisoner's camp will be gradually separated from the local governments, and the Department of Wu De will be responsible for its management!"

Both Liu Yang and Li Chongju were a little surprised by this, but Emperor Liu made a decision, and it was hard to object for a while.Of course, Li Chongju has no objection, and this can be regarded as increasing the interests of Wu Desi. For Liu Yang, Wu Desi has unified management of prison camps, which is also beneficial to its rectification, and can reduce some unnecessary crimes. Trouble.

As for the impact on the Wu De Department and the court, it is not within the scope of Liu Yang's consideration for the time being. After all, this is a society ruled by man, and Liu Yang, who is the prince, is also much less wary of the Wu De Department in charge of Li Chongju.

When Wang Yinwu was in office, because of the chaos in the prison camp, he wanted to put the prison camp under the jurisdiction of Wu Desi. However, due to the internal and external resistance and the lack of Emperor Liu's support, he finally gave up.Today, Emperor Liu has still handed over the management of the prison camp to Wu Desi, which can be regarded as "loyalty" to Wang Yinwu.

Having said what was to be said, Li Chongju also retreated tactfully, leaving room for the father and son to talk.After a short silence, it was Liu Yang who took the initiative to ask: "Father, the fourth brother went to Yulin to preside over the overall situation. I expected the chaos to be controlled, but how will Wang Yi deal with it?"

This point was actually thought of by all the ministers just now, but no one raised it.But there were always people who said it, and upon hearing that, Emperor Liu's face darkened visibly to the naked eye. He thought about it and said, "Let him go back to Beijing first!"

Emperor Liu was really annoyed at Wang Yu who failed to live up to his expectations, and even for a moment, he wanted to deprive Wang Yu of his official title and demote him to a commoner.However, I held back.

Wang Yu was not effective in countering the rebellion, and even caused a bad incident between the generals and the generals. It is inevitable to be at fault and needs to be punished.However, the severity of the plot depends on Emperor Liu's attitude.

However, it is unnecessary for the increasingly nostalgic Emperor Liu to directly deprive one of the 24 ministers and nobles based on the Yulin incident.Wang Pu has dedicated himself for so many years, and it can even be said that he was exhausted for the court. Emperor Liu is still willing to take care of what happens after his death.What's more, what Wang Pu said before his death still rings in my ears, it's Emperor Liu who didn't take it seriously and paid a heavy responsibility.

Of course, there are also factors of scruples in it. The nobles of the big man need to beat and spur, but they also need tolerance and appeasement. As for Wang Yi, he can set a model.

Basically, with Emperor Liu, Wang Yu is about to be abandoned, and his future can be said to be a little bit, and the prince Liu Yang, because of this incident, does not have a good impression of Wang Yu, what is the future of Wang Yu? , as one can imagine.

Of course, no matter how bleak it is, as long as the title is still there, it can still be distinguished in front of the world. This is also the court's grace to those heroes and nobles.

"There is one more thing. Yulin's priority is to calm the chaos. Can we suspend the rectification of Yulin's military and government?" Liu Yang said.

Emperor Liu reacted quickly to this, and his words even seemed reasonable: "This is natural! Regardless of the past, don't look into the past, but what happens in the future depends on their performance!"

"However, some people cannot be let go!" Emperor Liu's face changed quickly, and his voice was a little cold: "The magistrate of Yanzhou is still on trial? Why is this kind of bastard going to trial? Execute!"
