Long live Emperor Wu!

There are more than 300 days in a year, and in half a year, there are nearly a hundred memorials about Muzhou.

When summoned, Taiwei Zhang Sun Wuji, Zhongshu Lingliu Shi, Kaifu Yitong Sansi Li Ji, Shizhong Yuwenjie, Wu Wang Li Ke, the Ministers of the Ministry of Hubu, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of War all arrived, and the memorial was Haven't found it yet.

There were piles of memorials everywhere around the desk, and Li Shan sat in the pile of memorials, looking for suspicious places one by one.

The routine reports from the governor of Muzhou and the county magistrate under the jurisdiction of Muzhou were all included. Until two months ago, both of them were unanimously saying that Muzhou is peaceful and your Majesty will benefit the people.

How ridiculous!

According to the battle report just now, the rebels have captured nearby Yu Qian, and the governor of Muzhou and his county magistrate were either killed or missing, and they have long since disappeared!
Li Shan held his forehead, gritted his teeth, closed the memorial, and hurriedly changed to another one.

Finally, he found some clues in a memorial written half a year ago.

It was the governor of Yangzhou, two prefectures away from Muzhou. Fang Renyu wrote a memorial titled "Early Warning on the Situation in Muzhou." The content was that he observed that a flood occurred in Muzhou a year ago, and most of the farmland was flooded, resulting in This year the hungry people will be dispersed, which may lead to disaster.

He frowned slightly, not remembering that he had read this book at all, and it had no imperial approval.

When he opened the copy of the receipt included in it, he saw that it was a preliminary screening approval from the Shangshu Province. It said that Muzhou had always been prosperous, Changping's warehouses were full of relief, and this year's taxes and grain had been collected, so there was no need to worry.

The signature is Chu Suiliang's signature.

He was about to question Chu Suiliang. When he looked up, he saw that everyone was here, standing respectfully and holding their breath. Where could there be any trace of Chu Suiliang? !

Yes, he has been demoted to be the governor because of the forced purchase of people's fields!

Today, Li Ji is in charge of the affairs of Shangshu Province Youpuse.He couldn't get angry at someone unrelated to him.

So he set his sights on Changsun Wuji.

"Lieutenant, do you know why there are rebels in Muzhou?" Li Shan asked in a bad tone.

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he raised his eyes leisurely, glanced at Li Shan quickly, then raised his hand and saluted:
"The old minister doesn't know."

“I don’t know why there is a flood in Muzhou?!”

Li Shan raised his hand and shook Fang Renyu's memorial. Although he didn't move much, his hands were shaking with anger. His broad eyebrows were as bright as snow and he said:

"Every day, I even have to approve the memorials to me and read the requests for horses to be presented to me. As a result, such a big thing as a flood could not reach my desk at all, so it was suppressed first!"

He was really aggrieved and threw the memorial in his hand on the table and said:
"Now, it's okay. An illiterate peasant woman has entangled tens of thousands of people to come to Chang'an to overthrow me, an unscrupulous king! It's a pity that I work hard every day and review memorials until my eyes are dazzled, but here is this A result!”

He looked up at Changsun Wuji, frowned slightly, and asked sadly:
"Is there an emperor who is more unjust than me in the world?!"

At this time, the fireworks outside lit up, the sound of firecrackers "crackled", and the colorful lights in the sky illuminated the Wude Hall, which was already late at night, in bursts of light and darkness.

The shadows on the bodies of several ministers were also mottled.

It's the first day of the Lunar New Year and the new year has begun.

Li Shan raised his head and looked at the fireworks in the starry sky outside the window. His heart became more and more sour. He quickly turned his head and almost shed tears.Li Ji's beard had turned white, but he was full of energy and still very capable. He had been silent, but when he saw this, he sighed, cupped his hands and said:
"Things have already happened. Now is not the time to hold people responsible. Your Majesty, the most important thing is to quickly put down the rebellion and calm the people. I am willing to lead troops there."

At this moment, Changsun Wuji said calmly:

"A common woman only has tens of thousands of hungry people. There is no need for the British prince to go there. He can just send the governor of the nearby state capital to lead his troops to suppress it."

He said to the young emperor again:
"Your Majesty, you are young after all and have not experienced much. In such a large country, rebellions are common. When the late emperor was here, rebellions were suppressed almost every year, so what is there to panic about?"

When Li Shan heard this, he turned his head suddenly and looked at him, his usually gentle eyes were shocked and full of disbelief.

But Changsun Wuji didn't think it was anything, he still took it calmly and looked at him with a very ordinary look.

Li Shan suddenly thought in his heart that he was an elder, and he looked at him like a child, so his anger was as childish as a child in his eyes.

But can this be the same?

When my father was there, it was the beginning of the founding of the country, and there were separatist forces everywhere. His counterinsurgency was to quell the civil strife.

What time is it now?Good prefectures and counties, due to improper governance, have hungry people and rebels.

Is this a question of "you are young and inexperienced"?
Li Shan lowered his eyebrows, showing a little fatigue on his brows. He also concealed his disappointment and said in a calm tone:

"The lieutenant is right. Let's first send the nearby governor to quell the rebellion. I think Yangzhou governor Fang Renyu is very suitable... With tens of thousands of people, I'm afraid the military strength of a state is not enough. Let's send another one. Is there anyone else who is suitable?" ?”

The Minister of Civil Affairs was already trembling. When he heard that he was called, he quickly bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, let me tell you, Wuzhou, and Yangzhou, one is in the east and the other is in the west, so that we can coordinate the encirclement and suppression."

At this time, Liu Shi suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, Fang Renyu is not suitable. He is from the Fang family. Many members of the Fang family are married to the royal family, and are related by marriage to the governors of several states. His power is already too great. If Fang Renyu is reused again, he may be in trouble in the government. Unstable."

When Li Shan heard this, his brows tightened, and he did not look at him, but said calmly:

"Zhongshu Ling doesn't always tell me, if you are talented, why should you care about family status? What's wrong with having a big family?
He was the first person to raise concerns and warnings, which shows that he is concerned about the country and the people, and has foresight. If he is not reused, who will be reused? "

These were the words he originally opposed to the emperor's emphasis on imperial examinations, but now he was beaten back as they were. Liu Shi was speechless for a moment and was about to refute.

The minister Yu Wenjie said:
"Your Majesty means what he says. Your Majesty is wise."

He swallowed his words, then subconsciously turned his head and looked at Changsun Wuji.

Everyone knows that Yu Wenjie has a good relationship with the Fang family, and this is an obvious protection.

And since Fang Xuanling's death, the children in his family are not very capable, but they love to seek the limelight and are even more ostentatious than the eldest grandson's family. The eldest grandson Wuji has long been disgusted with it.

Unexpectedly, Changsun Wuji lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Li Shan nodded, and then said with a depressed and slightly complaining tone:
"I am sitting in the palace, and others don't let me see, so I am blind. I want to know everything about this matter, so please send an eye... Third brother, please run a trip for me."
