Du Shanbo does not care about the government and governance, and he also knows that when it comes to governing the country, he is far inferior to Zhang Kuan. After beating Zhang Kuan, Dushan Bo asked to send troops to the north to rescue Jincheng. Originally, Du Shanbo thought that the prince of the prison would allow it immediately, but unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Zixun summoned the left and right prime ministers Zhang Kuan and Wang Cheng, Shi Yong, the secretary of the military department, Shi Taien, the member of the military department, Zhu Lianyi, the left servant of the household department (temporarily acting as the secretary of the household department), Song Wei, the secretary of the agricultural department, and the other six elders of the senate, put forward a proposal to end the war with the Wuhuan coalition army.

It turned out that Zhang Kuan and Xuanyuan Zixiao's grandson discussed privately, thinking that in this case, they could not show cowardice, and they must insist on their own ideas. Du Shanbo is a soldier, he doesn't like people who are only timid and afraid of things, and if he wants him to support the prince of the prison state, he must let him see the tough side of Xuanyuan Zixiao.

It is extremely difficult to let Dushanbo see his toughness without angering Dushanbo. Xuanyuan Zixiao is worthy of being the smartest person in the royal family, he is not humble or arrogant and carefully analyzed with Dushan Bo, the emperor admired the gradual devouring of the Northern Wasteland with culture and people, and its purpose was to annex the entire Northern Wasteland. In order to achieve this goal, the first emperor spent 21 years from the eighth year of Taiqian to the present, forcing the people to emigrate to the border, causing many wives to be separated. Although after 21 years of painstaking management, the famous Yajin granary was established in the middle of the Yashan and Jialan rivers.

But now it seems that the emperor did not control the hearts of the aliens in Saibei, and the crow-gold granary built by the Shenghan Dynasty belonged to the Tatar people in the eyes of everyone, and Emperor Taiqian spent twenty-one years and millions of people and millions of silver to make wedding dresses for others.

Xuanyuan Zixiao's think tank was Shi Taien, who was also the second son of Shi Yong, the secretary of the military department, and he suggested that it was better to stabilize the country than to plot abroad, and the hearts of the people of the Holy Han were not lost, but if they did not recuperate with the people, it would cause greater civil unrest, and the dynasty would not be protected.

Stein cites the examples of the end of each dynasty and each generation, the Central Plains Dynasty was almost not directly defeated and destroyed by foreign races, but most of them were caused by civil unrest. Stein proposed to give Shenghan ten years to recuperate, and after ten years, the national strength would be restored, and he would fully support the Northern Expedition of Dushanbo and recapture the granary of Yajin. And bypassing the Tatars and signing an agreement with the Wuhuan Empire without authorization not only gave the Wuhuan people a sweetness, but also made the Wuhuan people turn their backs on the Southern Tatars, divided the Inuyi, and even pushed the Wuhuan to the opposite side of all the Inuyi kingdoms, which can be described as killing people with a knife.

Seeing that Dushanbo and the Senate hesitated, Zhu Lianyi, the left attendant of the household department, said again: "Elders, generalissimo, the household department has been eating grain all these years, and has imposed heavy taxes on the Jiangnan region, which barely supported the battle of Saibei. Now there are continuous rebellions in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, especially the rebels of the Tianhuo Sect occupy dozens of county seats, and the troops are approaching the Hangzhou county government. ”

Song Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, also took the opportunity to say: "This year's harvest of the people is thirty percent less than last year, but the tax burden paid is forty percent more. ”

Dushanbo's brows were tightly locked, and the main battle faction was also hesitant.

Wang Cheng, the right prime minister, said that the former emperor's three-year policy of conscription, taxation and grain increase imposed by the former emperor in order to make the Northern Expedition untrustworthy has caused the people in the country to live in poverty. This year is frozen, not to mention other state capitals, that is, there are nearly 1,000 people who have died of starvation and freezing to death in Longdu City, if they are desperate to redeem their troops to fight for the crow gold granary, I am afraid that even if they get the crow gold granary, it will lead to the boiling of public resentment and the people will rebel.

Shi Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, smiled bitterly: "This year, a total of 67 civil uprisings have been reported in the fifteen states and counties of the empire, and hundreds of civil uprisings have not been reported, most of which are caused by additional taxes and taxes. The Generalissimo may have been outside all year round without knowing the inside story, but this year, the Suzaku Legion has almost no free time, and has always been suppressing bandits all over the country, and they are still fighting the Tianhuo Sect rebels in Jiangnan. ”

Zhang Kuan, the prime minister of Zuo, said: "The lack of trust in the north was done by the previous emperor, and now the people of the empire are struggling to make a living, and the people have almost no surplus food. If the fight continues, I am afraid that if Wuhuan is not defeated, there will be civil chaos in the country. And the treasury is empty, if the forbidden army can not pay the Northern Expedition, I will also support it. ”

The elders were also divided into two factions, one faction supported the truce, and the other faction took Dushanbo as an order, and everyone waited for Dushanbo to make a decision.

Dushanbo's inner contradictions are entangled, now the Inuyi soldiers are tired, the White Tiger Army is ready to go, it only takes half a year to defeat the Inuyi coalition army to rescue the Jincheng Qinglong Army, and the elders of the Senate also support Ye Xiangdong to continue the north-north fight, thinking that since the north-to-north war initiated by Emperor Taiqian has lasted for two years, it is categorically impossible to give up the previous efforts at this time. In the past, the Xuanwu army was defeated in the eastern part of the country, and now if the Qinglong army is defeated in the north, I am afraid that the saint will lose face, and the kingdom will become a laughing stock in the future.

However, on the other hand, Du Shanbo also knew that there were frequent people in various places last year, and he had accurate data that the military department did not know, last year, there were a total of 570 civil mutinies and mutinies in the Holy Han Empire, of which there were 93 mutinies, which is why he always left the White Tiger Army under the Two Wolves Pass. He not only has to take care of and support the Qinglong Army, but also be vigilant against domestic civil unrest at any time, and if the rebel army has a tendency to expand, the White Tiger Army should return to quell the rebellion. But fortunately, the Suzaku Legion was effective in quelling the rebellion, and although there were many civil uprisings in various places, there was no trend of expansion, so that the Holy Han Empire would not be in turmoil.

At this time, the imperial intention of the prince of the prison country to finally fight the dog Yi and the people to recuperate "accidentally" spread outside the palace, not surprisingly, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, Dushan Boye to the east against the people's livelihood stubborn and warlike, also spread to the ears of the people.

When the people of the market heard that the prince of Jianguo had decided to stop the Northern Expedition and depose the heavy taxes, they danced with joy, and some of the people even knelt on the ground and cried, saying why the prince of Jianguo did not ascend the throne and become emperor earlier, and his son did not have to die tragically in Saibei.

In the capital, Shilin students also wrote articles to praise virtue, and the prince of the prison country was sympathetic to the people, and he was really a famous monarch through the ages. When the people heard that Dushan Bo and other military elders wanted to continue the war, they went to the uncle's mansion to protest, and even surrounded the uncle's mansion and shouted indecent words such as murderer.

Du Shanbo naturally knew who was behind the popular uprising caused by the people's hearts, but the civil officials opposed it, the people protested, the emperor did not support it, and the people yearned for peace.

This is the first victory in the struggle between Xuanyuan Zixiao and Dushanbo, and this victory is clean and transparent, dignified, without the help of Zhang Dang, even Zhang Kuan is very relieved, his grandson has finally grown up.

At this time, Zhang Kuan's student, the confidant of Shi Yong, the secretary of the military department, and Wei Yuan, the commander of the silver-clothed guard of Longdu City, was shot and killed at home by random arrows, and Wei Yuan's family of 36 was poisoned, and Longdu became nervous again.
