-----------------------------------------------------------------

In the second year of Zhidao, Li Shun's rebellion, which had just subsided the previous year, made a comeback again this year. Wang Cormorant, who had participated in Li Shun's rebellious army, gathered people to proclaim himself King of Qiongnan to fight against the government. As a result, many people lost their livelihood and joined the rebellious army one after another. Wang Cormorant led the people to attack Qiong, Shu and other places.

In the early court, Emperor Taizong looked at the officials and said, "The rebellion in the Sichuan and Shu areas has resurfaced. Can the ministers have any countermeasures?"

"Your Majesty! The last general will go and kill him without leaving a piece of armor behind!" Everyone looked around, only to see a military general with a burly back and two iron whips on his back, saying that this man is exactly Hu Yanzan, who was born in the general's family. His father, Hu Yancong, was the commander of Mabudu in Zizhou in the Later Zhou Dynasty.Hu Yanzan was a pawn of Xiao cavalry at the beginning, and later was promoted by Emperor Taizu to be a military envoy of Xiaoxiong, and Emperor Taizong was promoted to governor of Liaozhou. However, because he was incompetent in military and political affairs and unable to command deployment, he had to return to his original position as the head of the army. He was the governor of Fuzhou and the training envoy of Jiakang Prefecture.But he took the lead on the battlefield and was brave and good at fighting, so he was a brave general.

Kou Zhun, who was in charge of political affairs at the time, stepped forward and said, "General Huyan, although the matter of Sichuan and Shu needs to be conquered by soldiers and horses, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

"I don't know what the target is. I only know that Sichuan and Shu can be stabilized by quelling the rebellion." Hu Yanzan said

Defang looked at Huyanzan, then turned to Taizong and said, "Your Majesty, Xichuan Inspector Shi Pu sent a booklet, and made some suggestions on the Sichuan and Shu affairs. I think it is feasible. Please look at the holy order." Defang presented the booklet, Taizong Opened it, looked at it and said, "Who does the imperial nephew think is more appropriate to put down the chaos?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, most of the rebels gathered by Wang Cormorant this time are civilians. Before any officers and soldiers have defected, I think it is more appropriate to let Shipu Pingchuan and Shu rebellion, and the local government affairs will be carried out according to his suggestion. This is the time to rectify Sichuan and Shu, and I believe there will be good news soon."

Taizong thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. Immediately draw up an order to exempt the rent and tax of the Shu land, and order Shi Pu to serve as the envoy of Xichuan to catch thieves and quell the chaos of the army."

After the imperial decree was issued, the Wang Cormorant rebellion in Sichuan and Shu was quickly quelled.

In the Nanqing Palace, Defang was playing with a parrot in the flower hall, and the parrot kept calling, "Your Majesty is a thousand years old, your empress is a thousand years old."

Baili beside him giggled by himself, Defang turned to look at Baili and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"The little thing is that it's fun to watch parrots. I didn't expect birds to speak human language."

Defang smiled, "That's right, but some people in the court can't speak human language, they are not as good as birds."

"My lord, who are you talking about?" Baili asked

"Traitorous officials and slanderous ministers" Defang looked at the bird and said

"But my lord, you have a golden mace, you can hit every one you see." Baili waved his fist

Defang turned around and patted Baili on the head, "The lonely king will hit you first, and he will hit you one by one. I don't understand anything."

Baili patted his head and smiled, "The young ones only know to follow the lord, the lord is good, the young ones are fine"

"Baili, how many years have you been with the lonely king?" Defang asked

"Go back to the prince, the little one has been with the prince for 33 years"
