47, the court's scheming

Time is in a hurry.

Tang Yan saw the pigs and sheep howling from the very beginning, and he couldn't bear it, and he definitely didn't eat the livestock he slaughtered with his own hands, so he was ridiculed by Fan San for a long time.

Up to now, she has a knife in her hand, and she can give the livestock a pleasure with her knife skills.

There is no psychological burden, eating fragrant roasted whole sheep roast suckling pig.

Alas, trying to grow up faster in the troubled times is really full of blood and tears.

The blood of the little pig and the lamb, Tang Yan's own tears.

And what was even more full of blood and tears was the battlefield of the new emperor's northern expedition.

In fact, the emperor chose to march north, and there was no fault in the general direction.

Sending the nomads back to the depths of the steppe and not daring to come out in a short period of time can give the country years of development.

It is a pity that the war lasted more than a year and almost drained the treasury.

The confidant and eunuch in charge of the rear did a good job on the surface, and did not let anyone share the authority belonging to the emperor.

But the problem is that this man is greedy for money and cautious, and he has made the court a miasma.

In addition to man-made disasters, there are also natural disasters.

After the victory of the army over the Hui Dynasty, the floods and droughts, which had been small and small, became more and more serious.

People everywhere are hungry and displaced.

The people will starve to death if they don't have enough to eat, and naturally they will make trouble.

There were already small groups of peasant rebels popping up in several places.

Less than a year after the end of the northern expedition, the army was about to go out again to quell the rebellion, and there was no recuperation at all.

If this continues, the world will only become more and more chaotic.

Tang Yan is still bored and developing, just waiting for the situation to be chaotic again, and other forces and the court to fight a war of attrition, she will find the right time to suddenly rise up and subdue the world strongly.

It's just that I didn't expect that Tang Yan was playing the idea of the imperial court, but the imperial court was also playing her idea.

……

At the morning meeting.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, listening to the consumption of the quelling rebellion reported from all over the country, his brows furrowed more and more deadly, and his voice was mixed with anger.

"What do local officials eat! They can't help the disaster, they can't even control the rebellion! In the year of the disaster, the court should put a lot of effort into disaster relief! Instead of sending troops to suppress the rebellion again and again, it will consume the national strength in vain! ”

The minister listened below, thinking that if you didn't have to go north, the treasury would not be without food to provide disaster relief, and the people would be able to eat enough, so naturally there would be no rebellion, and there would be no need to send troops to quell the rebellion.

But I didn't dare to say this in my heart, and everyone racked their brains to help the emperor find a way.

At this time, Prime Minister Zuo came out of the crowd.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, but he can exterminate the rebels without spending a single soldier."

The emperor immediately said: "Aiqing will talk about it carefully. ”

Prime Minister Zuo said: "I am brave and brave, and I use it to recruit a group of rabble, which is really useless!" It is better to gather some local forces that do not belong to the court, and let the local forces fight against these rabble. In this way, it will not cost our army a single soldier, and it can also greatly save the cost of grain and grass. ”

It sounded like a good idea, but the Emperor's brow was still furrowed.

The local forces in his heart that are not controlled by the court are the private soldiers raised by the major families.

This era pursues the phrase "a thousand-year-old family" and a century-old dynasty.

The power of the major families should not be underestimated.

If the emperor wants to encroach on the interests of the family, I am afraid that the entire dynasty will be overthrown by the family, which is definitely more terrible than a small peasant uprising.

Let the family's private soldiers fight against the peasant uprising, and the emperor felt that it was better to let the peasant uprising continue to make trouble.

It is impossible for Prime Minister Zuo to sit in this position, and it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake, he continued.

"The minister thinks that many rebels don't really want to oppose the imperial court, so it is better to try to recruit some rebels, grant them official positions, and let these people fight against other rebels."

The emperor's eyes lit up, and this plan was feasible.

At this time, the lieutenant in charge of military affairs also came out of the crowd.

"According to Prime Minister Zuo's thoughts, the minister has thought of a very suitable local force."

"Say!" The emperor didn't say the polite words that Aiqing asked him to say, he was very straightforward.

Taiwei replied: "A few years ago, Jinshan Mansion has been reporting that there is a group of powerful bandits in the local area, and their stronghold is on Wanshan, which is difficult to exterminate, and wants the imperial court to send troops to help. ”

This was during the time of the previous emperor, when the emperor was old and his main focus was on the next heir. In order to maintain stability, more things are better than less things, so I ignored the report of Jinshan Mansion.

Now that Taiwei mentioned it, the new emperor also remembered these past events.

I heard the captain continue: "After all these years of development, the gang of bandits has become bigger and bigger. Rather than letting it continue to develop, it is better to make small profits and recruit this group of people. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was overjoyed.

The rebels committed the great crime of rebellion, the kind that wants to punish the nine clans.

I really want to recruit the other party, but the other party really doesn't believe it. Besides, this kind of big crime can be forgiven, and it will lose the prestige of the court.

But bandits are different.

Although being a bandit is also a capital crime, it is much less than rebellion.

Although the bandits plotted to kill the people, most of them did not want to, nor did they dare to oppose the imperial court.

This kind of ignorant bandit, casually allowed his head a small official position, and he was not grateful to Dade for his dedication to the court.

Instead of recruiting rebels, it is really better to recruit bandits.

The emperor made a decision on the spot and sent people to Jinshan Mansion to recruit bandits from Wanshan!

……

On the second hill of Wanshan, the prosperity here is now only stronger than that of the main mountain.

In the racecourse.

Tang Yan, who is seventeen or eighteen years old, has finally grown in height.

With a height of 1.65 meters, he is average among men in this era, but he is definitely a big tall man among women.

Tang Yan, who had dark and yellow skin when he was a child, is now unable to apply sunscreen due to his perennial martial arts practice, and the black is still so dark. But it's no longer the unhealthy yellow and black, but wheat-colored skin, which looks very heroic.

At this time, Tang Yan wore a suit of armor, his hair was tied up high, and he was sitting on a high-headed horse with a red color, holding a wind and thunder slash more than one person high, and his spirit was flying.

Anyone who sees it can't help but admire, what a heroic son!

Tang Yan of men's clothing is definitely handsome.

It's just that in this era, women are beautiful with white and soft.

Tang Yan's facial features are hard and dark, if she recovers her daughter's body, she will definitely not be a beauty.

Although everyone has a love for beauty.

But Tang Yan is so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground, and he has no time or conditions to take care of himself. In addition, this body is not hers anyway, and it will only be used for a few years temporarily, so it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not.

She has been beautiful in modern times for 19 years, and she can concentrate on her career in this world.

Tang Yan is now more interested in fighting than stinky beauty.

No, she had a little free time, so she and Fan San rode horses with weapons, sweating like rain, and they surrounded themselves to watch the lively soldiers.

"Good!"

"The big boss is very skilled!"

"Third Brother Fan hooked back!"

The onlookers kept shouting hello, and Tang Yan and Fan San became more and more energetic.

At this moment, a person suddenly rushed in the crowd and shouted.

"Big boss! Go to the council hall! ”
