"Sit down and talk." Sun Ning smiled at him, and then sighed, "I won't tell you, now in the entire Sichuan and Shu, among the many officials, I trust the most, that is, you Yang Yanzhong."

"Minister...... Terrified...... The minister will certainly live up to His Majesty's trust." Yang Yanzhong immediately spoke emotionally and wanted to bow down again, but was stopped by Sun Ning raising his hand: "You don't have to be like this, just talk to the sitting, it's good."

After a pause, Sun Ning looked at him again and said, "Do you know why I trust you so much among so many officials in Jinguan City?"

"But it's because of my father?" Yang Yanzhong asked tentatively.

Yang Yanzhong is the son of Yang Jianting, the head of the Yang family in Banzhou, just because he is not a descendant, after seeing that he could not inherit the power of the clan, he simply invited himself into the court a few years ago, in a sense, he is half of the Yang family's hostage in the court.

But Sun Ning is quite optimistic about this person, so three or four years ago, after he arrived in Jinling, he has been cultivating well, and after he showed a certain ability to lead troops and train soldiers, he put him in the emperor's personal guard camp like the Touri Camp for a good life.

It was not until more than a year ago, that is, before the start of a new round of war in the Central Plains, that in order to stabilize the situation in the southwest, Sun Ning put him back in Sichuan and Shu to serve as the garrison of Jinguancheng.

And Yang Yanzhong really did not disappoint Sun Ning, for more than a year, he has been conscientious and cautious in office, maintaining the stability of Jinguancheng, and at the same time, he has maintained and suppressed other places in Sichuan and Shu to a certain extent.

When Sun Ning came back this time, he encountered a series of changes, and he played a mainstay role.

Therefore, Sun Ning's words that he trusted Yang Yanzhong the most were indeed what he deserved, because this was the trust he won with practical actions.

Sun Ning also smiled at his self-effacing statement: "This is certainly one aspect. Your father Yang Jianting did make great contributions to the imperial court at the beginning, and your Yang family has made a lot of contributions in the past ten years. But what I really believe in is you."

This sincere explanation made Yang Yanzhong unconsciously moved: "Your Majesty Xie is so trusted......

"Okay, let's not mention these things for now, I want to discuss with you now how to deal with the current changes in Sichuan and Shu. After all, you are originally from Sichuan and Shu, and your Yang family is of both Han and barbarian blood, so some things are naturally clearer and more thorough than that of me, the emperor."

"Your Majesty, please speak, the minister will know everything."

Sun Ning Zhengse said, "Then tell me first, what do you think of these people who have been explained by the Tang Sect right now?"

Yang Yanzhong gave his thoughts after a little consideration. Obviously, he had also considered this matter before: "It is naturally impossible to say that these people are innocent, but it is really because of this that it is determined that they have evil intentions, and I think this is also a bit exaggerated."

As he spoke, he carefully glanced at Sun Ning again, and saw that he was not dissatisfied, so he continued: "Even if we don't mention the fact that any of these people have been framed, the minister doesn't think that they will be enemies of the court in the Ruri side for the sake of a Tang family that has long been destroyed, even if it is only secretly plotting.

"The minister thinks that all the people on this list have received some benefits at most, whether it is getting money or weapons given to them by the Tang Sect, and then ostensibly promising that the Tang Sect will keep them safe.

"This may be the strength of the Tang Gate to escape from Wubao this time. Otherwise, if there is no person from outside to answer, Chen Zhen doesn't think that they will be able to escape from Jinguan City with their families, let alone escape from Yizhou."

Sun Ning listened to his analysis, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he showed an appreciative smile: "Your statement is not unreasonable, so what do you think I should do with these people?"

"Be the main one for beating. Then, after the war in the Central Plains subsided, it should be replaced, and it should be withdrawn. If it is really impossible to replace, the power of one of its clans should also be reduced......

After giving his thoughts, Yang Yanzhong glanced at Sun Ning again: "Of course, this is just a little shallow opinion of the minister, what is it, it should be judged by His Majesty."

Sun Ning smiled and said, "Your opinion is naturally reasonable, but there are still some things that are overlooked.

"If it's just that the Tang Sect is trying its best, it's okay, but the problem is still in Sichuan and Shu now

There are powerful families like the Qiao family who want to use their power for personal gain and disrupt our law, and even more traitors in Longlong and other places are making obstructions and fanning the flames...... What if all three were united?"

As he spoke, Sun Ning took out another list: "Look at this."

After stepping forward to take over this new list, after sweeping it at a glance, Yang Yanzhong's expression became more and more solemn.

Because he was shocked to find that this list of foreign aid, which was obviously obtained from Qiao Qiushan and the rebellious leaders who were captured in Wubao later, actually had many names that matched the list of the Tang family.

Now things get very delicate, even a little serious.

What does this mean? Is there a collusion between inside and outside the country with the intention of completely disrupting the stable situation in Sichuan and Shu and even in the entire southwest?

If it was just the Tang Sect, it would naturally be a trivial matter, and it would be completely different if it could be contacted by foreign enemies.

After a long silence, Yang Yanzhong pondered and said, "Your Majesty, if this list is true, then you can't wait to ignore it any longer. We must act as soon as possible, at least to uproot all the forces of Tupo Longling and Jian Yunshu, so as to prevent them from causing chaos first."

"Yes, these people must be removed, even if they prove to be wronged." Sun Ning squinted and looked at him, "However, this matter is not easy for the imperial court to come forward, so it can only be handed over to your Yang family." Are you willing to let your Yang family help the imperial court do this?"

Yang Yan's heart was shocked, and then he understood the ultimate purpose of the emperor's special words to himself today - he wanted to use the soldiers of the Yang family in Banzhou to crusade against these possible rebels.

As for the reasons, there are two aspects, one is that the imperial court really can't spare its hands to clean up Sichuan and Shu now.

The war in the Central Plains continued, and the east of Sichuan and Shu had to guard against the invasion of Guanlong soldiers and horses, and other Sichuan and Shu soldiers and horses could only be used to stabilize the place, but they could not fight everywhere.

The second is the consideration of subsequent impacts.

Once the imperial court forcibly sends troops against the forces mentioned above, it may make the barbarian forces in Sichuan and Shu and even in the southwest feel threatened, thus really disturbing the entire southwest.

But it was completely different for the Yang family to use local forces to make a move, and it became a contradiction between the internal forces of Sichuan and Shu. It's just that in this way, the loss of the Yang family ......

But soon, he put this concern aside again, and since some things have been in this position, it seems that there is no choice.

So Yang Yanzhong got up: "Sharing worries for Your Majesty and solving difficulties for the court is what my Yang family should do as a courtier. The minister will personally send a letter to ask my father to send troops!"

"Okay. If I can successfully quell the turmoil in Sichuan and Shu this time, I will definitely not forget your credit." Sun Ning was immediately overjoyed and expressed his position.
