Han Shizu

Chapter 233

"What's the matter with this Ye Renlu? I have emphasized several times that we should use both suppression and appeasement to suppress the robbers, and reduce killings. He still turns a deaf ear, despises the emperor's orders, disregards the laws of the country, and dares to torture indiscriminately, killing the good and pretending to be meritorious. So rampant?" In the Guangzheng Hall, Liu Chengyou's voice was deafening, and he opened the scene with a stern question.

After saying this, the expression of two people present changed, one was Yang Bin and the other was Guo Wei.

Ye Renlu, the governor of Weizhou, was known for his ruthlessness in dealing with the thieves under him, and he made a lot of achievements.Not long ago, I learned that there were bandits harassing the villagers under my rule, so I ordered my soldiers to arrest them.At that time, more than a dozen people from the strong village gathered to chase the robbers. They chased them in the mountains, and the robbers scattered.Ye Renlu led his troops to come later, and when he saw the people who were chasing thieves, he thought they were thieves, so he captured them, broke their tendons, and violently slammed into the mountains, screaming and howling, and died after a long day.

"Ye Renlu, I have heard for a long time that catching robbers will be tortured to death, and there is no escape. His heart is cruel and his actions are vicious. Why do you take care of the people on behalf of Tianmu?"

"The center also issued an edict to praise, what is it trying to do, let the state officials all over the world follow Ye's example, be that cruel person, and practice tyrannical government?" Liu Chengyou's words were almost spitting at Yang Bin.

Yang Bin's face looked much older than before, and when Liu Chengyou pointedly reprimanded him, his face was drawn long and angry.During this period of time, he believed that he was out of publicity, worked hard on state affairs, shared the burden for the little emperor, checked for omissions and made up for vacancies, and was tolerant enough of the emperor's "arbitrary and reckless actions".

"Your Majesty!" Yang Bin yelled in a rough voice, then got up and cupped his hands, his robe sleeves were windy, and looked directly at Liu Chengyou: "For the matter of Weizhou, I made a decision after comprehensive consideration, Ye Renlu Even if there is a fault, it should not be concealed, the clean-up of Weizhou, the disappearance of the bandits are all credit, how can your majesty defraud all the merits because of one mistake?"

Hearing what he said, Liu Chengyou was obviously furious. With a flick of his sleeves, he bent forward to help the case, and said to Yang Bin, "Torturing people and disregarding human life is just a momentary loss?"

"Just mistake them for thieves!" Yang Bin's voice remained undiminished, and he replied firmly: "Bandits, disturbing public order, are the greatest evils in the world. Your Majesty has repeatedly emphasized Huairou thieves. Could it be that your majesty's benevolence is used in this work?" Are the thieves and bandits on you?"

"You! Presumptuous!" The scolding voice blurted out.

However, Yang Bin's words made Liu Chengyou a little dumb.He is not an incompetent and furious person, although Yang Bin's words were harsh, it made Liu Chengyou wake up a bit.Although I have tried my best to increase the number of people, my attitude towards thieves is indeed a bit "weak". It is easy to misunderstand local officials and those who are still thieves.

However, even if there is some reflection, there is no reason to admit cowardice.Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou's tense body returned to the sitting posture, and he did not continue to argue with Yang Bin.

The ministers in the palace watched this scene, but some of them didn't realize it. How could they have thought that it would be so exciting at the beginning.A lot of eyes glanced at Yang Bin cautiously. Really, in the whole court, only Yang Bin dared to be so tough on the emperor, questioned and even reprimanded him.

People like Feng Dao, Su Yugui, and Zhao Ying all lowered their heads subconsciously, as if this would reduce their sense of existence.

Without waiting for Liu Chengyou's orders, Yang Bin sat down on his own with an indifferent expression.In the hall, it became quiet.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Guo Wei stood up and broke the calm with a respectful voice: "Ye Renlu knew his mistakes, and he already regretted his mistakes. He dared not accept the court's award and asked for his own guilt. To redeem himself, Distribute the family wealth to compensate the family members of the people who were killed by mistake."

Guo Wei, suddenly attracted Liu Chengyou's attention to him.Liu Chengyou glanced at him and saw that his expression was serious, without showing arrogance.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou calmed down.For Guo Wei, I felt a little emotional, his words were clearly trying to excuse Ye Renlu, and even Liu Chengyou guessed that Ye Renlu's remedial measures were also in Guo Wei's favor.

Ye Renlu was an old general in Hedong. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was appointed as the governor of Weizhou. When he was in the army, he fought bravely.The most important thing is that he is Guo Wei's old department.For this point, even if he is dissatisfied with Ye Renlu's behavior in his heart, even if he knows it will make Liu Chengyou unhappy, Guo Wei has to speak for him.

However, Guo Wei obviously underestimated Liu Chengyou's magnanimity. For this, Liu Chengyou took it easy and didn't mean to blame him.

After thinking for a while, Liu Chengyou finally spoke: "Let Ye Renlu set up a monument for the people who died unjustly, and provide compensation for the family members. The merit is merit, and the demerit is demerit. Relegation to other states!"

"Yes!"

Although Liu Chengyou's statement is still tough, it is a compromise attitude.

For the same thing, there is a clear difference in the attitude towards Yang Bin and Guo Wei and Liu Chengyou.Maybe it's inherent prejudice, and of course more importantly, Yang Bin really doesn't know the duty of being a minister.

The emotions were restrained very well, no abnormalities could be seen on Liu Chengyou's face, it seemed that the fierce rivalry between the monarch and his ministers just now was just an illusion.After being silent for a while, Liu Chengyou coughed, glanced around, and said, "The king of Yan, Zhao Kuangzan, is here to play, and the imperial court is requested to send a minister to the north to serve as the capital of the Yan army. Who do you think should be sent?"

"Your Majesty, Youzhou is an important place to block the Khitan in the north. The people we send need to be ministers with a strong heart and a heart. They are talented people who have a strategy, are alert, handle things properly, and adapt to the situation." Hearing this, the prime minister Li Tao came out. Talk about it, express your opinion.

Liu Chengyou asked directly: "Li Qing, tell me bluntly, who can entrust the north side?"

Hearing this, Li Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then responded with a little embarrassment: "The ministers of the center of hard thinking are all holding important positions and cannot escape, so it is difficult to think of a candidate for a while."

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou looked at the others again, silent for a while.It's really hard to decide on the candidates for going north.

"Feng Qing, do you have anyone to recommend?" Liu Chengyou asked Feng Laohu directly.

The old guy was sent to Hezhong Xuanfu before, and was warmly received by Li Shouzhen. He was detained for more than a month before he was released back to Tokyo comfortably.

Feng Dao looked like he was thinking hard, and replied: "I ask Rong Chen to think about it."

This is not easy to recommend, in Feng Dao's view, facing the Khitan soldiers in the north is not a good place, if it is acquaintance, it will harm him.If the recommendation is not human, if something goes wrong, then he will also be implicated.
"Your Majesty, I have recommended someone to take on a heavy responsibility!" Yichen stood up and said loudly.

When Liu Chengyou saw it, his brows frowned slightly. This person's name was Nie Wenjin. He was an official in the Privy Council Du Chengzhi and General Youwei.

"Speak!" Liu Chengyou said lightly.

"Wei Renpu, a bachelor of the Privy Council, is eloquent, resourceful, talented, and outstanding. If he goes north, he will be able to caress the northern land, coordinate the military situation, and consolidate the defense of the border!" Nie Wenjin glanced at Wei Renpu next to him, and the corner of his mouth slightly Hook, said.

Hearing his suggestion, Liu Chengyou was a little annoyed.From a practical point of view, Nie Wenjin's suggestion is not bad, and Wei Renpu's talent is certainly enough to entrust him with important tasks.However, Nie Wenjin's heart is not pure, the recommendation is false, and the truth is to exclude Wei Renpu from the court.

In the Privy Council, out of jealousy, Nie Wenjin found Wei Renpu disliked and repeatedly humiliated him, but Wei Renpu magnanimously tolerated them all.Many people know that Liu Chengyou thinks highly of Wei Renpu.Nie Wenjin still made this remark, either because he had no respect for the body, or because he was just plain stupid!
Without waiting for Wei Renpu to respond, Guo Wei took the initiative to speak: "Scholar Wei is a talented person. He is in charge of the secret affairs of the privy. "

But Guo Wei understood Liu Chengyou's thoughts and took the initiative to speak for him, saving Liu Chengyou from personally rejecting him, and he just went down the donkey.But Nie Wenjin was not happy when he saw that his mind was lost.

"You only think about the courtiers in Beijing, but have you thought about being able to be the courtiers?" Liu Chengyou asked after thinking for a while, and glanced at Guo Wei inadvertently.

"Please show your Majesty." Su Yugui asked very actively.

"The Luzhou inspection envoy is highly defensive, prudent and profound, has the talent to do Gu, and the ability to manage strategy, how about going north with him?" Liu Chengyou said the candidate in his mind.
