A timely rain is enough to stabilize people's hearts. The follow-up news from various places is also gratifying, especially in Hebei, where the drought is severe, and the autumn rain is widely brought. The dry ditches in various places are slowly filled, and the dry acres and millet rice are absorbing the moisture to their heart's content.

Due to the drought, many of the fields and seedlings in Hebei were damaged, but because of this rain, there were many stops, and it can be said that the recurrence of famine was directly avoided.

"It is a good thing that a long drought is a rainy day. However, this rain has been raining for days, endlessly, and it is afraid that it will become waterlogged, so it should be lowered to tell the provincial capitals to be vigilant and vigilant to prevent floods. Especially along the Yellow River Prefecture, the defense of the embankment and the place of the breach need to be particularly cautious. In the hall, hearing that it was raining outside, Liu Chengyou said in a warning tone to a group of courtiers.

"Yes!"

"The ministers only care about the rain falling from the sky, and they are really ashamed. And His Majesty pondered Zhou Xiang, and he had already considered the hidden worries behind him, and he took precautions before they happened, which is admirable. Feng Dao sat on the side, bowed slightly, and complimented, but the approval in his tone was a little sincere.

The palace is full of Chinese martial arts, Wang Zhang, Guo Wei, Shang Hongqian, Li Hongxin, Feng Dao, Wei Renpu, and Yin Houyi of Kaifeng Prefecture, who was invited to attend, add another model.

These people basically include the Zhongshu Menxia, the Privy Council, the Guards Division, the Three Divisions and the Kaifeng Mansion, the most important yamen of the Han Dynasty, and they are also the backbone of the government. The number of people is only up, and there is obviously a big matter to discuss. And the most surprising thing is that at such an important meeting, Yang Wei, who is the head of Wenchen, was not present.

Others may be slower to react, but an old fox like Feng Dao has already smelled that unusual political signal.

After a little deliberation, Liu Chengyou's expression was slightly restrained, and he reported lightly: "I summoned all the princes to come, and there is nothing else to discuss." Li Shouzhen's rebellion in the river was blazing, and the rebellion was imminent, and the imperial court should begin to prepare a way to deal with it. ”

The change on Li Shouzhen's side was like news, and it came one after another, and it was presented to Liu Chengyou's imperial case, and the sources were not the same. The Military Intelligence Department under the Privy Council, the detective of the Wu De Division, Liu Chengyou's secret lord, the report of the surrounding garrisons, and the people who secretly lost their sincerity to the imperial court in Hezhong.

What surprised Liu Chengyou slightly was Gao Congyu, who turned his head and sold Li Shouzhen, sent his contact letter to Tokyo. It seems that Gao Congzhi is really sick, otherwise, with Gao Laizi's previous urine, even if he doesn't do things in the south, he will not be able to make Li Shouzhen's contact with the court in vain.

Li Shouzhen thinks that he has seen through the thoughts and plans of Liu Chengyou and the imperial court, and has a full view of his actions. But he never imagined that his every move was completely exposed in front of Liu Chengyou, and nothing was missed.

"Your Majesty, Li Shouzhen firmly believes in the nonsense of the warlocks, has a rebellious heart, does not know the number of days, does not know the power of heaven, vainly tries to lead troops into rebellion, and seeks to resist the imperial court, but he really hits the stone with an egg and brings about his own destruction." Feng Dao took the lead in getting up and expressed his severe condemnation and contempt for Li Shouzhen.

Immediately afterwards, it was Hou Yi, who saw this veteran, and said with some excitement: "Li Shouzhen is despicable, although he is a general, he is not used to military affairs, and his battlefield career is really commendable." He is in the river, claiming to be heroic, gathering people's hearts, and gathering real rabble, and those who serve him can have geometry. Your Majesty and the imperial court have long been prepared, how can they succeed? ”

Liu Chengyou nodded and gestured to Guo Wei: "Guo Shumi, tell you about the situation in the river!" ”

"Yes." Guo Wei got up and saluted, then turned his body sideways and said to the ministers present: "After investigation by the Military Intelligence Department, after the autumn, Li Shouzhen has gathered more than 20,000 Pu soldiers in Hedong City to practice day and night. This summer, Hezhong Mansion had a bumper harvest, and Li Shouzhen regained the people, so that the people of Hezhong were resentful. According to investigation, Li Shouzhen has nearly 100,000 stone of grain and straw for Xinchen in Cangliao, the state capital, which is enough for the military and civilians of Hedong City for a year. ”

"Recently, he has repeatedly summoned his subordinates to discuss misdeeds, his words are arrogant, he has no restraint, and he wants to do extraordinary things."

In addition, in the past few months, Li Shouzhen sent envoys to contact Xue Huairang and Hou Zhang of Huazhou to make an appointment to rebel. He also conspired to connect Xiazhou and Khitan in the north, and Meng Shu and the pseudo-Tang Dynasty in the south, wanting to attack in many ways and conspire with the Han Dynasty. Its femme fatale heart, monstrous ambition, is ready to move. ”

After listening to Guo Wei's words, the ministers present were suddenly silent, and they were all solemn.

"Why, I was scared by Li Shouzhen?" Glancing around, Liu Chengyou asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, if you are a corner of the Duhe River, you have nothing to fear. With the power of the imperial court, it can be extinguished. However, if the three rebels and the four come together, the court will be overstretched to deal with it. It was Shang Hongqian who replied, as if he thought of the embattled situation, and his expression was a little solemn.

"What does Wei Qing think?" Liu Chengyou asked Wei Renpu, who looked calm.

Being named, Wei Renpu stood up and saluted, and slowly said: "Your Majesty, your lords." The rebellion in the river seems to be fierce, but it is like a castle in the air. To the west of the same state, there are two states of Pi and Yao; Huazhou was caught between Jingzhao and Tongguan, and if they dared to rebel, they would be destroyed by the imperial court at the first time. ”

"Xue Huai and Hou Zhang, who have no good governance, are harsh on wealth and goods, and have long been rejected by others, and he has no roots, what is there to fear? Besides, although these two people colluded with Li Shouzhen, they were not single-minded, as long as the imperial court sent troops to levy, in the face of the troops, they might not resist Li Shouzhen stubbornly. The so-called three rebellions are really only one in the river. ”

"As for the four foreign enemies, on the side of Western Shu, the lord of Shu Meng Chang cleared the old ministers, the situation of the court was just unstable, and the battle of Jifeng Mountain had made the Shu army fearful, and the previous contract with our dynasty was signed, and he would never dare to move troops rashly. Li Jing, the puppet Tang master, has always been weak, and if the Tang army is in Jianghuai, it can still borrow its sailors to take advantage of its might, if it dares to go out of Huaishang, how can my Central Plains Tiger Division be afraid of its weak brigade? ”

Saying that, Wei Renpu asked Shang Hongqian: "What does Shang Dushuai think?" ”

Shang Hongqian listened carefully, heard the question, and blurted out: "If the Tang army dares to go north, the forbidden army will make them have no return!" ”

"As for Li Yiyin in Xiazhou, he is a member of the party, fierce and cunning, if he can't see real benefits, how can he really respond to Li Shouzhen, and it is more likely that he will sit and watch the development of the imperial court to suppress the rebellion and take advantage of the trend. The only one who can be worried has to belong to the Khitan in the north of Lingbei, but if Hu Cai invades the south, there is a Youzhou defense line, and it can be refuted. ”

"Therefore, if Li Shouzhen rebels, at least in the early stage, the imperial court will face the threat, and there will only be a corner of the river!"

After listening to Wei Renpu's analysis, the ministers present had a lot of stretching eyebrows. On closer inspection, it seems that the situation is really not so critical.

"Wei Qing's words are deeply in line with my heart!" Liu Chengyou got up and dangled in front of people for two times before he coldly expressed his opinion: "Li Cheng has been hiding for a long time, and it is not surprising that he has these actions. Knowing that he had a different heart, I have been staring at the river like a clown. In the past, I ignored the national situation, but now, thanks to the assistance of the princes, the government is stable, the army's morale is calm, and the food shortage is slightly relieved, I can no longer tolerate such rebellious people. ”

"I have decided to send a large army to quell this traitor and eliminate internal troubles!"

"Your Majesty, please give an order!" A cadre of civil and military affairs, in unison.

"Shang Qing, Guo Qing, the Privy Council and the Department of Guards, should start picking and choosing the rebel horses."

"Yes!"

"Wang Qing, the third division can dispatch the grain and ordnance that can be used for half a load of 50,000 horse infantry troops!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhang secretly pondered, his face was embarrassed, but in the face of Liu Chengyou's gaze, he still gritted his teeth and responded: "Yes." ”

"Hou Qing, from today onwards, together with the Inspection Division, we will strengthen the control of Tokyo!"

"Yes." Hou Yi hurriedly his old waist.

"Spread the edict to the northern frontier defense armies and increase the vigilance!"

Of course, there was another arrangement, which was not announced in court. Give it to Wu Desi, let him really clear the Pu army spies in Tokyo City.

After the discussion, Liu Chengyou turned out Li Shouzhen's previous letter of colluding with the Shu army and Hou Yi, and presented it to Gao Congzhi, a total of three copies, and ordered someone to send it to the river.

With the subsequent edict, Li Shouzhen was made by the river festival and moved to Jinzhou.

Liu Chengyou's intentions are obvious, even if Li Shouzhen rebels, it depends on his eyes
