Chapter 200: The Emperor's Eldest Son Zhao You (I)
"Sister, sister, what are you thinking?" Xiao Zhen saw that after Xiao Nan listened to the old man's words, he kept looking at the homeless people on the street in a daze, his face was uncertain, and he didn't even respond to calling her a few times, and couldn't help but take her hand and shake it a few times in anxiety.

"It's nothing, Xiao Zhen, my sister will take you to Youzhou, do you dare to go?" Xiao Nan came back to her senses, turned her head and glanced at Xiao Zhen, who was dragging her hand, and said thoughtfully.
"Youzhou, is that what the old gentleman said just now, a place of turmoil?" Xiao Zhen rolled his eyes and tilted his head to ask.
"Not bad." Xiao Nan replied.
"My sister dares to take me, why doesn't Xiao Zhen dare?" Xiao Zhen's small chest straightened and replied very bravely.
"That place is in turmoil, plus it borders with the Liao, if one is not good, there may be a war, once there is a war, my sister can't fully guarantee your safety, are you really not afraid?" Xiao Nan stared at him and asked again.
"Xiao Zhen is not afraid." Xiao Zhen was slightly stunned when he heard this, a trace of hesitation involuntarily flashed on his beautiful little face, and finally he gritted his teeth and looked at Xiao Nan with a firm face to answer.
"Okay, our family Xiao Zhen has really grown up, and he has the courage and responsibility that a little man should have, since you have the courage, my sister will take you to the secluded land of thistle to walk around, by the way, see what the rivers and mountains that were taken back by His Majesty Taizong look like." Xiao Nan's eyebrows were raised, he laughed twice in his mouth, and said with a heroic face.
Although Xiao Nan decided to go to Youzhou, but did not set off immediately, first, the weather was hot at this time, and the turbulent place was prone to plagues, and second, she wanted to see the court's response strategy, with the prosperity of the court today, she didn't believe that in the face of such a major event, the court would not react for a long time, for this reason, and lived in Mount Tai for about ten days, and at the beginning of August, he retreated from the wooden house, prepared some dry food and various medicines for internal and external injuries, made a large package, threw it on horseback, and took Xiao Zhen towards Youzhou, out of Tai'an, When I went all the way north, there were still homeless people on the road from time to time.
Not to mention Xiao Nan's sister and brother, but to say Youzhou and Bianjing, the Youzhou Rebellion began at the end of June, and since mid-June, there have been displaced people on the grassland pouring into Youji, and there were not many of them at the beginning, plus the court had an order, for the people of the grassland, we must be friendly to each other, and we must not oppress others for no reason, so as not to provoke disputes! For this reason, the parents and officials of the two places of Youji used a policy of appeasement and guidance for these grassland displaced people, and did not report to the imperial court at the first time.
The grassland was affected by the disaster, and the officials in these two places were also aware, and they thought that as long as they helped them alleviate this period of time, the disaster situation on the grassland side would stabilize, and the other party would retreat, but this time the disaster was much more serious than they imagined, from mid-June to the end of June, there were constantly displaced people coming in every day, and by the end of June, the displaced people in the two places had exceeded 100,000.
Follow-up every day there is a steady stream of displaced people to pour in, so that the government of the two places of the thistle can not bear the energy, from the beginning of July to prohibit the entry of the homeless, the ban on the city is opened, from the grassland to the disaster victims are gathered outside the city, with the accumulation of more and more people, and finally the outbreak of the rebellion in the city, has entered the city because of the number of too many, can not get a good settlement, lack of food and clothing, hunger and hardship began to snatch food everywhere.
In this way, the order in the city was quickly disrupted, at first it was a one-way robbery of the displaced people, and it did not take long to develop into a melee between the displaced people and the residents of the city, and in the middle of July, a large-scale chaotic impulse broke out, and at this time gathered in the two places of Youji, the victims inside and outside the city have been nearly 200,000, and the permanent population of the city in the two states of Youji is only about 500,000.
In this situation that the proportion of the population of the two sides is not too large, large-scale conflicts and riots, the government can not control it at all, although the court has sent 100,000 permanent troops in the land of Yanyun, but a large part of these 100,000 are stationed in Yingzhou, and there are only 10,000 garrisons in each of the thistles, and the chaos caused by the 10,000 garrisons wants to control hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and they can't control it at all.
In this way, not only the displaced people who poured in from the grassland were not properly settled, but the people of the two places of Youji were affected by this, and countless homeless homeless people were added.
On 21 July, when the current officials received the report, they could not help but be taken aback, and immediately summoned the ministers of the court and the central government to discuss the matter urgently.
The land of the thistle has been guarded by the Yang family army before, but in recent years, the border is peaceful, the Liao people have no bad actions, Yang Ye is not in good health, so he applied to return to the court, Zhenzong agreed, and transferred it back to Kyoto from the thistle, and the town guard of the thistle was replaced by the left guard general Cui Huaiqing, Cui Huaiqing is the youngest son of the founding general of the Song Dynasty, Cui Yanjin.
Cui Huaiqing his skills in general, good at drilling camps, after his father passed away, Taizong read his father's work, the Cui family brothers took care of the two brothers, after Taizong passed away, this person and Zhenzong had a good relationship, Zhenzong ascended the throne, Cui Huaiqing has become the deputy general of Zuo Wuwei, a few years later, Yang Ye returned from the two places, Zhenzong sent this person to the front of the thistle, took over the position of Yang Ye.
Although Cui Huaiqing did not show anything outstanding in the capital, the wind review was not too bad, plus he was a descendant of a famous general, Zhenzong had its arrangement, although the ministers were a little surprised, but no one objected, he just went to those two years, the thistle was calm, how did he know that in the third year of his tenure, such a major event happened.
Zhenzong looked at the report, and his heart was shocked and regretful, if it was Yang Ye in Youji, it would never be possible for the homeless people to deduce like this, but this Cui Huaiqing was sent by himself, and there was nothing to say at the moment, so he could only summon the courtiers to discuss urgently, fortunately, at this time, there were many virtuous ministers and good generals in the court, and after everyone got together, it didn't take long for the courtiers led by Jiang Ge Lao to come up with a solution.
There are two plans, first, in order to prevent Liao from raising troops, the court immediately sent Yang Ye as the commander, leading 100,000 troops to Youji to suppress the turmoil, after Yang Ye arrived, Youji's soldiers and horses were unified by Yang Wei, and Cui Huaiqing was demoted to deputy general; Second, at the same time, the disaster relief messenger was sent to go with the army, and the army was dispatched, one was to quell the chaos, and the other was to prevent the Liao from raising troops.
And after the thistle rebellion subsided, followed by the vibration and pacification, for this reason, the focus of the thistle land is to fu, after all, the turmoil caused by only 200,000 displaced people, as long as Liao does not tend to raise troops, there are 100,000 people led by Yang Ye in the past, and the situation will soon be controlled, the turmoil in the two states is easy to control, but it is not easy to restore the order in these two states and settle all the disaster victims.
Regarding the candidate for this Qin Mission, Jiang Ge Lao did not say much, and finally the courtiers agreed that Zhao You, the eldest son of the emperor, would be appointed as the Qin Mission, supplemented by Zhang Xun, the head of the household department, and went to Youji with the army. (Note.) In the original history, Zhenzong had six sons, and Zhao You was the second son of the queen, but none of the first five sons grew up, and now it is the New Song Dynasty, and many things do not develop according to the official history.
