Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 881 The saint was furious and ordered a thorough investigation

The Tang army defeated Tubo, beheaded more than ten thousand people, and scared Songtsen Gampo back.When the news was sent back to Chang'an, Li Zhiyun just nodded to show that he understood, and then gave some rewards to those soldiers who fought bravely.

Defeating Tubo is not worth bragging about. The Tang army has fought many battles in the north and south in recent years, and has a lot of experience. If they are not able to win a battle with a force that has only a hundred years of civilization in the same place, then there will be a big problem.

Although he won the battle, Li Zhiyun was not very happy, at most he just thought that Tubo would temporarily calm down.His original intention was to destroy Tubo.But a very real problem is in front of us, that is, it is difficult to march.

The Tubo plateau is full of mountains and forests, and there are countless terrains such as courtyards, sky prisons, sky traps, sky holes, and sky gaps. If you are not careful when marching, you will be attacked by Tubo people who are familiar with the terrain.They wouldn't be afraid of a sneak attack, but they would hit the grain storage location.Once the Tang army enters the plateau, the grain and grass are attacked by surprise, that is the real big problem.

What's more, after Tubo is wiped out, that area cannot be developed in a short period of time, and it will take a long time to be used.After all, traffic is a big problem.

After knocking on the map, Li Zhiyun sighed softly.

Exterminating Tubo is not a big problem, the difficulty lies in how to effectively control this place after it is eliminated.

migrant?

It's too difficult. Right now, the empire's territory has expanded unprecedentedly, from the ice fields in the north to the Liaodong Road in the northeast, and there is still a lot of land that is not cultivated by the people.Not to mention places like Tuyuhun, which are still in the standby stage.

More importantly, who was born in the plains, who would want to go to Tubo?
After thinking for a while, he temporarily stopped his thoughts, and decided to take his time step by step, not to rush for a while.The more anxious you are, the harder it is to do things well.At present, the population of the Tang Dynasty has not recovered to the heyday of the former Sui Dynasty, and there is still a large amount of land in the mountains and forests that has not been utilized. It is against the wishes of the people to let them immigrate, which cannot be done.

According to reports, Tubo fell into civil strife, but it could give Datang enough time to accumulate strength and prepare for killing them next time.

"Ugh."

Hearing the emperor's sigh, Gao Liangzhong asked softly, "Does Your Majesty have any orders?"

Li Zhiyun shook his head and did not speak.

Make every effort to bring order to justice!

"Let's go to Ganlu Hall."

"Yes."

After Li Zhiyun left, the servants put away the map of Tubo, put it in a box, locked it, and put it back where it was.One day, they will reappear in the world, but at that time, it may be the time for many people to consider how to divide them.

Ganlu Temple.

Whoa!
A memorial was thrown away from a high altitude, and then fell in an arc, smashing hard in front of Zhang Rui, the minister of officials, causing his head to shrink subconsciously.

"Look carefully, in your so-called assessment of officials, there are actually 37 officials making a fuss about water transportation, and some people dare to set up barriers in the road to hinder the transportation of goods from south to north. If there is no official endorsement, I will not believe it!"

Looking at the angry emperor, Zhang Rui lowered his head and pleaded guilty: "I am guilty, but the evaluation of officials has never been a matter of the official department. Last year's evaluation, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Yushitai also participated in one or two."

Naturally, it is impossible for the official department to control the evaluation of officials. Li Zhiyun will occasionally dispatch fourth-rank officials from Yushitai and Dali Temple to supervise one or two.

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun laughed angrily, "You mean it's my fault?"

"I dare not." Zhang Rui lowered his head.

Li Zhiyun glanced at him and said, "Zhang Rui, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, dereliction of duty, was deprived of his post and sent to prison, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to investigate."

"Your Majesty?" Zhang Rui was stunned, at least call a few more people over to inquire, and blame me alone?

Li Zhiyun sneered: "Don't worry, none of you can escape!"

Zhang Rui was dragged down.

Then, Li Zhiyun held a temporary small court meeting in Liangyi Hall.

"The sword of the former Sui Dynasty is still hanging behind, but our civil and military elites have begun to imitate the corrupt officials of the former Sui Dynasty. They are jealous of the virtuous and capable. Let's see for yourself. The rice, grain and seafood from Huainan Road are from Jiangnan Road. Medicinal materials, and even the goods from Shannan Road, have been blocked all the way. It's a big joke!" Li Zhiyun shouted: "This world, is it my world or your world!"

"The ministers are guilty." The central ministers knelt down and bowed their heads one after another.

They had already read the relevant memorials, and their hearts were already trembling with fear.The problem of corruption in ink and water transportation is not too big, but setting up barriers on the official roads in the south to hinder the transportation of goods to the north is simply a rebellion.If the emperor is not angry, then something is wrong.

Li Zhiyun suppressed his anger and said, "I will never let it go if I don't find out the truth about this matter."

Wei Zheng went out to pay homage and said: "Your Majesty, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I don't know that the Ministry of Officials has been corrupted so far. I am willing to take the blame and make meritorious service. I ask your Majesty to allow me."

"Since you are guilty, then stay in prison for me!" Li Zhiyun said directly.

Whoa!
Now, the officials were scared, completely scared. This was the first time that the emperor directly attacked the old minister's confidants, which showed that he was furious.

"Han Zhongliang!"

"The minister is here." Han Zhongliang, Minister of Dali Temple, came out.

"Chu Suiliang!"

"The minister is here." Chu Suiliang, Minister of the Taifu Temple, came out.

"Master Su!"

"The minister is here." Su Shichang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, came out.

"Quan Wanji, Zhang Xingcheng, Zhang Xuansu!"

"The minister is here." The three censors of Yushitai came out one after another.

Li Zhiyun said: "I will give you a month to investigate, and you must find out the truth. No matter who is involved in this case, arrest him immediately!"

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun said again: "Where is Yuchi Gong?"

"The minister is here." The Great General of Youweiwei, Yu Chigong, came out and clasped his fists.

"I order you to control a battalion of soldiers and horses. If you meet anyone who dares to resist during the investigation, I will allow you to kill first and then play."

"According to the order!"

The officials swallowed subconsciously, the emperor wanted to kill someone this time!
At the same time, the Ministry of Officials was dealt with coldly because of dereliction of duty, and Fang Xuanling, the prime minister, was temporarily acting as the official's affairs.

political affairs hall.

"Your Majesty, from the memorabilia, the most serious problems are in Jingzhou, Suzhou and other places." After Du Ruhui finished speaking, he stopped talking.

There are some things that don't need to be said too clearly, he also knows that His Majesty can understand.

Several other prime ministers also kept silent.

At the beginning of the empire's founding, Nanfang has always been wooing, and Nanfang did not choose to invest in Lao Li's family at the beginning, which led to the fact that Nanfang did not earn much when dividends were distributed.To put it simply, there are very few officials in the Central Southern Department, and only one or two can enter the Political Affairs Hall, such as Chen Shuda and Xiao Yu.Therefore, now that something happened in the south, they all know that it must have nothing to do with the people, and there must be a family from the south of the Yangtze River making trouble in it.

In this way, this problem will become very difficult, how to deal with it?
Do you really want to kill him?
They don't know, so they are very disturbed.

Li Zhiyun suddenly smiled, "I've been really kind in recent years."

Hearing this, the six prime ministers were all terrified.They unanimously recalled the emperor's cruel methods of suppressing the old officials of the first emperor, driving away the Guanlong people, and sanctioning the Pei family and the Zheng family.Looking at Zheng's current appearance, he has completely become a mad dog under the emperor's hands.

As for the Pei family, are there any Pei family officials in the center?

Li Zhiyun said: "Investigate, investigate all suspected places in the south and places where problems occur!"

Xue Shou couldn't help dissuading him and said: "Your Majesty, if you really want to investigate, if there is a problem, how can you fill the official vacancy?"

Li Zhiyun said coldly: "This time, I just want to check it out!"

Now the battle outside is almost done, and it's time to move the moths.
