Kyoto.

Inside the Imperial Study.

At this moment, Li Deyi sat on the chair with a gloomy face, and in front of him, Zuo Qing was half-kneeling on the ground, lowering his head while constantly reporting what had happened in Pingzhou during this time.

When Li Deyi learned that the prince went to Pingzhou, he did not make any achievements, and even the disaster relief silver and grain given by the imperial court to the people of Pingzhou were robbed by mountain bandits, which made Li Deyi extremely disappointed in Li Ganzai.

"Your Majesty, now Pingzhou has been completely chaotic, except for the city where the Eighth Prince is located, which has not received much dustpan, the rest of the cities and counties in Pingzhou have been captured by these refugees and rebels, if the imperial court does not send troops, Pingzhou may fall completely."

Zuo Qing said with a solemn face.

It turned out that on the day Li Gan left, Li Deyi secretly asked Zuo Qing to leave Kyoto with a hundred brocade guards dressed up and go to Pingzhou.

One of its purposes was to observe the results of Li Gan's trip to Pingzhou, and by the way, to protect Li Gan's safety, but Li Deyi did not expect that things would turn out like this.

And what made Li Deyi even more angry was that there were so many changes in this trip to Pingzhou, but Li Gan didn't send back any news!

This is a bully!

"Tell me what you know! What did the prince do after he went to Pingzhou! Why did these refugees suddenly rebel and capture Pingzhou in such a short period of time!! ”

Li Deyi knew that if it was not a last resort, how could these refugees rebel.

"After the prince went to Pingzhou, he lived directly in the mansion of the prefect of Tianzhu City, Lu Wenbai, and lived a life of dogs and horses every day, and he didn't care about those refugees in Pingzhou at all, and even the distribution of disaster relief silver and grain issued by the imperial court was given to Lu Wenbai to do."

After speaking, Zuo Qing raised his head and glanced at Li Deyi's face at this moment.

"Go on!"

In order to curry favor with the prince and create the illusion that there are no refugees in Tianzhu City, Na Wen Bai actually united some refugees to stage a picture of disaster relief and soup kitchen, which also made the prince mistakenly think that the problem of food and clothing for these refugees has been solved. But the prince didn't know that all this was just a show by Lu Wenbai. ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen's people have investigated some clues about the robbery of the silver grain for disaster relief, in fact, all of this is a farce directed and acted by Yu Wenbai! Although those mountain bandits are real mountain bandits, they are also the people raised by Lu Wenbai! ”

It is precisely because of the loss of this batch of relief silver and food that many refugees have the heart to rebel. When the prince learned of this, instead of coming forward to appease these people, he even agreed to the method proposed by Yu Wenbai to make an example of the refugees. The consequences can be imagined, under the oppression of Yu Wenbai, the refugees of Tianzhu City were the first to start resisting, and they captured Pingzhou Xianhe Town in just one day. ”

"And in the next few days, perhaps because of the exaggeration of this incident, there were riots one after another in various parts of Pingzhou......"

Zuo Qing said everything he knew, and at this moment, Li Deyi's face was already gloomy and could drip water.

Li Deyi, who resigned, was full of anger in his heart. Now it seems that it was a wrong decision to hand over this matter to the prince!

"Where is the eighth now?"

Li Deyi asked in a deep voice.

"The Eighth Prince and the Prince of Beiliang are now in Sucheng, although there are no refugees in Sucheng and they are safe for the time being, but the situation is not very optimistic."

Zuo Qing replied.

"Bei Liang Shizi?"

When Li Deyi heard that Chu Mo was actually with Li Chengwen, his brows couldn't help frowning together.

At this moment, Li Deyi's mind suddenly thought of the previous Qingzhou incident.

"Your Majesty, what are we going to do next?"

Zuo Qing asked again.

"Ordered General Gu to order him to lead an army of 50,000 to suppress the Pingzhou rebels, and at the same time, order the prince to return to Beijing immediately! I need an explanation from him! ”

"Also, let the Eighth Prince and them also return to Beijing......

Li Deyi's face was very ugly, and his face was pale.

"Yes!"

Zuo Qing received the order, and then respectfully withdrew from the imperial study.

Not long after Zuo Qinggang left, Li Tianqi came to the palace, and under the leadership of Li Si, he went to the imperial study and saw Li Deyi with a sad face.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

Li Tianqi saluted and spoke respectfully.

"Why are you here?"

Looking at Li Tianqi in front of him, Li Deyi couldn't help but rub his head, although he said so, how could he not know what his son was here for.

There was such a riot in Pingzhou, and Li Tianqi naturally learned the news. Originally, he thought that he could rely on this fat difference to impress his father, but after he returned to Kyoto, his father handed over this matter to Li Gan, which naturally made Li Tianqi a little annoyed.

But now it seems that this so-called fat difference is a hot potato, and fortunately, this matter was handed over to Li Gan, if it was handed over to him, I am afraid that only he would be responsible for this matter.

"Father, the son has heard about Pingzhou, and now Pingzhou has been divided by the major anti-kings, if this matter is transmitted to the rest of the dynasties, my Dawu Dynasty will definitely become a joke, and our Dawu Dynasty cannot ignore it."

Really!

After hearing Li Tianqi's words, Li Deyi's brows couldn't help frowning together, and his sharp eyes fell on Li Tianqi, showing displeasure.

"And what do you suggest?"

Li Deyi asked in a deep voice.

"Father, Emperor and Sons, believe that although the refugees in Pingzhou rioted, in the final analysis, they were just some ordinary people. If the imperial court sends troops to suppress it, although it can be easily suppressed, it is afraid that it will be counterproductive to do so, after all, there are many people affected by the disaster this time, and if these people are united, it is also a large force. ”

After listening to Li Tianqi's words, Li Deyi thought weakly.

Li Tianqi's words are not unreasonable. The number of people in Pingzhou is as high as hundreds of thousands, and the disaster is even more widely implicated, and if troops are sent to suppress it, it will inevitably cause these refugees to revolt.

Now that the Dawu Dynasty is in internal and external troubles, if Zhao and Chu take this opportunity to overwhelm the Dawu Dynasty, this will be a catastrophe for the entire Dawu Dynasty.

Although Li Deyi can think of this problem, it is not easy to calm the hearts of these refugees now. In addition, if the Pingzhou riot is this time and the court is soft, then in the future, how can he, the emperor, govern the entire Dawu Dynasty?

The rebels in Pingzhou had to be suppressed. After all, no matter what the reason, the rebellion of these refugees is a naked slap in the face of the royal family, and Li Deyi will never let such a thing go.

"Okay, I know what you mean, but I already have a plan in mind for this matter."

"I'm tired, you should step back first."
