Before Chu Zhaoye went to the backyard to find Liu Qin, someone came to the palace, and Emperor Yuan urgently recruited him into the palace to discuss matters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After the little eunuch gave the order, he waited in the Three Princes' Mansion, and it was obvious that Emperor Yuan was in a hurry. Chu Zhaoye didn't dare to slack off, changed his clothes, and followed the little eunuch into the palace.

When he walked into the Qinzheng Pavilion, there was silence inside, and a sense of oppression came to his face.

The crown prince Chu Zhaoheng, the right minister Ye Fuguo, the deputy minister Zhou Xuancheng, as well as the household department Shangshu, the newly appointed military department Shangshu and others are all there.

Emperor Yuan obviously just made a fire, and when he looked at it at this time, his face was a little gray, but his momentum was still amazing.

Chu Zhaoye didn't ask anything, he first looked at Emperor Yuan's face before kowtowing and asking for an answer, "Erchen has seen his father!" Father's anger should be appeased. ”

Emperor Yuan was sitting on the dragon throne, gasping slightly, seeing Chu Zhaoye coming in, he was no longer able to speak, he nodded his finger to the crown prince Chu Zhaoheng, and gestured.

Chu Zhaoheng handed the memo written by Yingzhou Prefecture Mu Peng Ze to Chu Zhaoye.

It turned out that after the natural disaster last year, because of the slight delay in the relief of grain and silver, there was a mutiny among the people. Although after Han Wangzhi arrived in Yingzhou, he immediately began to pacify, and then arrested and suppressed the stubborn. However, some of the bandits fled into the mountains on the border between Yingzhou and Yingzhou.

Emperor Yuan didn't expect that the peaceful and prosperous era under his rule would breed bandits because of a natural disaster.

Han Wangzhi mentioned this matter in his previous recitals, and he also sent troops to suppress bandits. However, the mountain range at the junction of Yingzhou and Yingzhou stretches, and it is not easy to kill.

The most hateful thing is that this gang of bandits took advantage of the three areas, and Yingzhou sent troops to flee to Yingzhou, and Yingzhou sent troops to flee to Yingzhou.

And this time, the 600-mile emergency report was sent because the county order under the rule of Yingzhou colluded with the local wealthy merchants, who gave low-grade rice when they were in disaster relief, and now they are demanding that the people return the high-quality rice.

Just after the catastrophe, the people did not have much surplus grain in their hands, and they did not receive much grain at the beginning, but now they have to fill the rice they have worked so hard to fill in the people's homes. Who would want to?

Some people were not satisfied, and gathered at the gate of the yamen to reason with the county order, but they were imprisoned by the county order, and their families were asked to ransom people with 300 catties of high-quality japonica rice.

It just so happened that someone had a connection with the people in the bandits, and when the news spread, the bandits openly attacked the county seat in the name of "doing the right thing for heaven", killing the county commander and the rich merchant.

The bandits fell into the grass in the deep mountains, and that's it, this attack on the county seat and killing the county order is a rebellion.

Peng Ze, as the governor of Yingzhou, naturally immediately sent the garrison of Benzhou to collect the bandits, but the general who led the army came over with 3,000 soldiers and horses, and actually let the bandits be defeated.

In the memoir, Peng Ze listed the causes and current situation of the bandits, and specifically pointed out that because the grain for disaster relief was produced by the merchants, the response of the merchants in various places was uneven, Yingzhou was located in poverty, and the grain of the grain merchants in Yingzhou and other places would only be supplied to the state capital of Benzhou, so it could not benefit all the victims, causing the victims in the mountains to gather into bandits.

The method of disaster relief was proposed by Chu Zhaoye, and Peng Ze's words were equivalent to pointing at Chu Zhaoye's nose and saying that it was all the bad idea of the three princes, so they would cause trouble.

Peng Ze was born in two lists, one piece of music, written in a subdued tone, and his writing was flying.

It's just that he didn't know the crisis of the imperial court at that time, when the imperial court had to deal with the war and disaster relief, and the household granary was empty, at that time, Chu Zhaoye's disaster relief strategy was the best policy.

However, in the follow-up implementation, the local officials have their own selfish motives, and there is a situation of collusion between officials and businessmen, so there will be an uneven situation of hot and cold, or the situation of donating inferior grain to recover superior grain.

And Yingzhou is located in a poor place, and it is not a place directly affected by the disaster, and the imperial court can't take care of it.

Emperor Yuan was angry, naturally not because he felt that Chu Zhaoye's idea was not good, but because he hated the bandits for being rampant.

Chu Zhaoheng also felt that what Chu Zhaoye proposed at that time was a good policy, but he failed to control officials in various places in the later period.

After reading this recital, Chu Zhaoye passed through a circle in his heart, and raised his head and asked Emperor Yuan, "Father, what Peng Ze mentioned is that the son's follow-up considerations are not considered. ”

Emperor Yuan shook his head, "The scholar misled the country, Peng Ze's words are just shirking his responsibility." ”

Right Prime Minister Ye Fuguo proposed that the top priority is to suppress bandits, "The minister thinks that if he can recruit peace, it will not be a bad strategy." ”

Chu Zhaoye suggested, "Father, according to the opinion of the sons, these bandits are arrogant and arrogant, if they only send a civil servant to recruit An, I am afraid it will not work." They must be defeated first, and if they are in pain, let people recruit at this time in order to get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Emperor Yuan nodded, "Then let the defenders over there in Yingzhou continue to kill?" ”

"Father, Yingzhou has many mountains and rivers, and the defenders of Yingzhou only have about 5,000 people, and Peng Ze mentioned in his compromise that he lost 3,000 people, but I am afraid that the defenders over there have been defeated, so it is better to mobilize the defenders of Yingzhou or Yizhou to go over."

"Father, Li Jing is just going to Yingzhou, why don't you let him take advantage of the situation to suppress the bandits?" Chu Zhaoye directly mentioned Li Jing.

Chu Zhaoheng shook his head, "Li Jing has been serving in the western camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and he has no experience in leading troops to fight. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too modest, how can there be a born victorious general? If you don't let Li Jing try it, how do you know? ”

"The court has already been defeated once, and if it is defeated again, it will damage the majesty of the court. This kind of time is not the time to train troops and generals. ”

"Li Jing has been in the army for many years, how can he be said to be a training general?"

"The four camps on the outskirts of Beijing are in the capital, how many opportunities for actual combat there are."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried that Li Jingruo is defeated, which will damage his majesty?"

Chu Zhaoheng shook his head, "Li Jing's success or failure alone is not a matter of worrying, it's just that if the bandits are more arrogant, isn't it a joke to say that Zhao Anzhi is a joke?" ”

The two of them talked hilariously, and the other ministers thought they were dumb and stopped talking.

Li Jing, the son of An Guogong, has indeed never been alone. However, if they say that Li Jing can't do it, won't they look down on His Royal Highness the Prince's wife-in-law? And if they say that Li Jing can lead the troops, it will be to the three princes. Don't talk is the best policy.

"Holy Lord, Yingzhou has also come to report urgently." Kang Bao hurriedly took a copy of the notebook and handed it in.

Emperor Yuan glanced at it and shouted angrily, "These defenders are all eating rice? Look at it, look at it! ”

Chu Zhaoheng took the fold and glanced at it, and passed it to the others.

It turned out that those bandits had gone to loot a county under the rule of the British state and looted the area. The Yingzhou defenders entered the mountains, and they didn't even touch the shadow of the bandits, so they fell into the trap.

"Father, these bandits are familiar with the terrain in the mountains, and the defenders of Yingzhou and Yingzhou will be defeated if they rush into the mountains." Chu Zhaoheng had no experience in leading troops, but what he said was analytically reasonable. (To be continued.) )
