"How can we prevent something like this from happening again?" Li Zhongyi stopped turning in circles and stared at Zhang Sanzheng's face.

Zhang Sanzheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since the emperor asked this, it means that the emperor has recovered his former sanity from the state of rage.

To put it bluntly, if Zhang San is the emperor, when he encounters a similar situation where students kill students and dare to rebel, he will definitely be so angry that he wants to kill people to vent his anger!

"If you go back to the emperor, the subordinates think that the power of the military justice department and the pacification envoy should be strengthened, and effective supervision should be truly achieved, so as to prevent incidents like Shuzhou from happening forever." Zhang Sanzheng was, after all, Li Zhongyi's confidant, and although his suggestion undermined his own power, he did not hesitate to make it.

Li Zhongyi nodded, suddenly sighed, and said, "In the final analysis, my virtue is not enough." He walked slowly to the door of the tent, holding on to the pillar with one hand, and looked at the sky.

Looking at Li Zhongyi's very lonely back, Zhang Sanzheng felt that his eyes were sour, and tears couldn't stop squeezing out of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please give an edict, it's time to clear the king's side!" Zhang Sanzheng knelt at Li Zhongyi's feet and kowtowed heavily to plead.

Zhang Sanzheng was originally illiterate, but after many years of studying, he has understood the truth.

In the final analysis, it is actually the father of the rebel Li Fan, who used to be a large landowner with tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.

After Li Zhongyi became the ruling king, he issued a land restriction order, which restricted the fundamental interests of large landowners like the Li Fan family.

Under the irreconcilable fundamental interests, violent resistance is inevitable!

Therefore, Zhang Sanzheng did not hesitate to put forward the side of the Qing monarch, and the spearhead was unusually clear: it was to comprehensively clean up the officers who were born from the big landlords and squires in the army.

There are all kinds of power in the world, and the power of the army is the most important!

Military power must not fall into the hands of big landlords!

Zhang Sanzheng, whose ancestors had been poor for eighteen generations, once he thought clearly about the connotation of Shuzhou's rebellion, immediately realized that the enemy had launched a crazy counterattack.

The target of the enemy's counterattack is obviously the Han Empire headed by Li Zhongyi, and it must be cut down and eradicated quickly.

However, he Zhang Sanzheng was one of the biggest vested interests in the empire who rose up with Li Zhongyi.

Feelings can deceive people, but fundamental interests can't deceive people!

Therefore, Zhang Sanzheng did not hesitate to stand behind Li Zhongyi very firmly, swearing to defend the nascent Han Empire.

To tell the truth, Li Zhongyi couldn't believe his eyes when he first learned the news of Shuzhou's rebellion.

However, the facts are all there, and Shuzhou is indeed the opposite. What's more, what's even worse is that Li Fan of Shuzhou actually poisoned all the supervisory forces in the system, such as the pacification envoy, the deputy envoy of the pacification, and the secretary of the military justice sub-department, at one time.

The seriousness of the matter lies in the fact that Li Fan deliberately rebelled, and the restraining forces in the system were unexpectedly wiped out by him.

It's terrifying!

After listening to Zhang Sanzheng's suggestion, Li Zhongyi did not express his position immediately, but slowly sat back in front of the table.

Qingjun's side, easier said than done!

Among Li Zhongyi's old subordinates, most of them are born with mud legs, and it is even more uncommon for poor ghosts whose ancestors have been poor for more than ten generations.

However, if Li Fan's rebellion is to make a presumption of guilt and drive all the old subordinates from the big landlord class out of the army, will it be overkill?

That's a real problem!

"Your Majesty, how can the military power be touched by others? The minister pleaded again, Qingjun side. ”

Zhang Sanzheng doesn't care so much, there are traitors in the army, and they must be thoroughly cleaned up. Otherwise, the consequences are difficult to predict.

Li Zhongyi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and suddenly smiled, "Zhang Sanzheng, you just want me to kill your robes?" ”

Since ancient times, the side of the Qing monarch has always been full of people, bloody and cruel.

Zhang Sanzheng lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the empire is yours and your subordinates. The subordinate just wanted to prevent the slightest slight. ”

After the rage, Li Zhongyi regained his former calm and wisdom. There is no trivial matter in the army, and it is often involved in one trigger, and there can be no negligence.

"This matter will be kept secret for the time being, and I will make a final decision after I take Yangping Pass." Li Zhongyi lightly instructed Zhang Sanzheng.

Zhang Sanzheng hurriedly stood up straight, beat his chest and saluted, and said loudly: "Oh! ”

There are some things that don't need to be in a hurry, Li Zhongyi has time to think about the causes and consequences clearly.

Moreover, before Li Zhongyi left the capital, he had already left behind.

The secret edict in Huang Jingsheng's hand, the military power in the capital in charge of Li Yunxiao, and the intelligence network of Li Yanqing and Zuo Ziguang are all available.

More importantly, before Li Zhongyi promulgated the land restriction order, he had already expected that there would be a strong backlash from large landowners in various places.

Therefore, a commander like Liu Heyang, who commands the army, has a secret edict to transfer troops at the right time to suppress rebellion or rebellion.

However, the prerequisite for the use of secret edicts is that the fact of local rebellion must be unanimously approved by the pacification envoys and the military justice sub-divisions, otherwise, it will be a chaotic life.

This acts as a good constraint!

It is impossible for Li Zhongyi not to consider Zhang Sanzheng's suggestion, and Zhang Sanzheng's suggestion is also reasonable.

However, after Li Zhongyi woke up from his anger, he decided to ignore the matter of Shuzhou's rebellion for the time being, and Huang Jingsheng and Liu Heyang were responsible for it.

The so-called generals are outside, and the king's order is not granted!

Today, Li Zhongyi is in the hinterland of Shu State, and it is difficult to know the military situation in Shuzhou well. If he intends to command remotely, then it is inevitable that there will be a great deviation.

Historically, Song Taizong Zhao Lao Er, the most troublesome thing about him, in addition to killing his brother and usurping the throne, was to give the general the commander of the formation map.

Li Zhongyi knew very well in his heart that Liu Heyang had 50,000 elite imperial court officers and troops at hand, including 3,000 horse troops and 3,000 naval troops.

And Shuzhou's defensive strength is only 3,000 infantry troops at best. Liu Heyang takes ten as one, as long as he is not greedy for merit and rashly fights the rebellion of Li Fan in Shuzhou, it can be said that he can capture Laier!

More importantly, according to Li Zhongyi's analysis and judgment, since Li Fan poisoned so many of his old subordinates at one time and pushed them back, this shows that most of the officers leading the troops of the Shuzhou garrison did not approve of Li Fan's rebellion.

In other words, most of the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Shuzhou garrison were not willing to follow Li Fan to rebel.

In the final analysis, as long as Liu Heyang does not rush forward, does not be greedy for merit, and fights steadily, he will definitely be able to quickly exterminate the rebels.

As for the issue of the various states in the south of the Yangtze River raising troops to respond, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, almost all the generals stationed in the garrisons in Jiangnan were northerners, and most of them were born with mud legs.

An officer born with mud legs, only by following Li Zhongyi, can he enjoy glory and wealth!
