Chapter 8 State is Difficult
All these are signs of the country's demise.
To tell the truth, Rao is Liang Yi has already been mentally prepared, and he didn't expect that Da Zhou would have reached such a moment of crisis.
It is no wonder that the emperor already looks like a dying man.
In the face of such a state affair every day, it is difficult not to lose one's life.
Emperor Zhou looked at the silent ministers, leaning on the throne, his face full of tiredness that could not be concealed.
"This is the current predicament of my Great Zhou, with plagues everywhere, rebels and civil strife, and displaced people everywhere."
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the best plan?"
Then he looked at the princes.
"What can you princes do?"
Liang Yizheng wanted to speak, but he was strongly preceded by Liang Dingqiang beside him.
"Qi Qi father, the son has some suggestions, I don't know if I can help my father."
"Speak your mind."
Liang Ding cleared his throat, glanced at Liang Yi with a little provocation, and talked about it.
"If there is a great drought in Huainan and a flood in the Yangtze River, you can order the provincial governments to open warehouses and release grain, and call on displaced people to build river embankments to provide relief through work; The southwestern wilderness is full of miasma, which is really a chicken rib to my court, so it is better to give up this place."
"Merchant ships on the southeast coast are easy to be robbed by pirates, so it is forbidden for people to go to sea, and merchant ships will not be robbed? I have abundant products in Dazhou, why do I have to go overseas to do business? ”
"The six guards of Mobei are in an emergency, it is better to retract the battle line to the Great Wall, and rely on the Great Wall to protect the Han land."
Liang Dingzhi said, and the ministers were full of applause.
Even Emperor Zhou felt that the overall strategic retreat was a good method, and now the form is stronger than people.
And the three dukes who sat under Emperor Zhou.
Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui glanced at each other.
Obviously, their answer to Liang Ding was satisfactory.
Although they seem a little immature in terms of opinions, the specific content coincides with their ideas.
Ling Ziqi did not speak.
As a military general, he resolutely cannot tolerate the practice of giving up territory.
But the situation is stronger than people, and some things are out of his control.
There are not a few ministers in the court who have this idea, and most of them are civil officials.
This is also normal.
When faced with major national policies, civil officials often weigh the pros and cons, and often do everything in the face of interests, even if it is only a small benefit in front of them.
Liang Ding enjoyed the praise of the ministers, and glanced at Liang Yi with a smug and provocative look.
didn't think about it, not only did he not see Liang Yi's unwilling look, but the other party's face was full of ridicule and disdain.
Liang Ding was a little annoyed.
Still loading! I see how long you can fit?
Among these princes, I am the best candidate for the prince!
looked at the ministers who were cheering, as well as Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui with happy faces, and Emperor Zhou who also showed satisfaction in his eyes.
Liang Yi sighed.
The princes in the court only care about their immediate interests.
Only Liang Yi knows.
I don't know how many dynasties have chosen to retreat for a while because of temporary difficulties, and since then they can no longer hold their heads up in front of foreigners.
Therefore, he scoffed at Liang Ding's idea of abandoning the southwest and retracting the desert north.
Wait until the discussion in the court gradually becomes quieter.
Liang Yicai slowly turned around and glared at the ministers with sharp eyes.
"Those who retreat can be killed!"
The sound was not loud, but it was extremely loud, and everyone in the hall looked at Liang Yi.
Liang Yi wore a vermilion python robe and slowly walked to the center of the civil and military train.
"The Manchu Dynasty is a big man, if you don't want to make progress, forget it, you just want to retreat when you encounter something!"
"If the Southwest Tusi rebels today, he will abandon the Southwest, but what about the Liaodong rebellion tomorrow? If one day, there is a rebellion in the imperial city, do you still want to tie up the saint and give it to the rebels? ”
"The prince is confusing the concept, the southwest is a bitter place, how can it be compared with Liaodong Shangjing?"
Liang Yi glanced at the person who spoke.
He has some impressions of this, he is a die-hard member of the second prince, Guo Xiu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, from the second rank, and can be regarded as the backbone of the Liangding faction.
"It's you who confuses the concept!"
"Why can't the southwest be compared with Liaodong and Jincheng? In my eyes, every inch of land in Da Zhou is very important, and the territory of Da Zhou is only a little! ”
"But now the situation is not good, giving up appropriately is also a necessary means, take a step back and open the sky."
Guo Xiu continued to respond.
"Fuck you!"
"The prince must not speak such filthy words!"
Han Qi was a little anxious.
Liang Yi didn't care about him, but pointed at Guo Xiu and scolded:
"It's a moth like you, who is an official in the court and doesn't want to make progress! This kind of traitorous words can be said! ”
"You...... You, you, you! ”
Guo Xiu said several words 'you' in a row, and he was speechless in his heart.
And Liang Ding on the side was already pale.
Anyone can hear that Liang Yi is scolding Huai here.
But Liang Yi occupies the name of righteousness, and he can't refute it.
Look at Liang Liang on the side again.
The smile on this guy's face was almost uncontrollable.
Liang Ding suddenly felt annoyed.
Forcibly suppressed his anger and walked to Liang Yi's side.
But he didn't dare to get too close to Liang Yi, in case this guy saw him upset and kicked himself, it wasn't a joke.
"Since the prince doesn't agree with my idea, can the prince solve the doubts of his courtiers?"
Liang Ding stared at Liang Yi and said word by word with gritted teeth.
Since you don't agree with me, let's say a better way, don't just force and don't want to recruit!
Liang Yi looked at Liang Ding with a sneer, and said slowly:
"Then please listen!"
Then he showed his python robe and strode to the seat of Emperor Zhou.
"Now that the situation in my big week is in crisis, all issues must be prioritized."
"First of all, I think the most urgent issue is the issue of displaced people in Beijing!"
"Once these displaced people are in turmoil, they will definitely impact Shangjing, a full 180,000 people, at least the court will lose face, and at worst it will change the dynasty!"
"What does the prince mean that Shangjing should not accept these displaced people?" Wang Deshui asked.
"Nope! If Kyoto refuses to accept it, then the local state capitals must also be upward and downward, and they have rejected the influx of displaced people. ”
"Therefore, Shangjing not only has to receive, but also has to accept more, and it has to resettle the displaced people!"
Isn't that nonsense! That's how the prince goes.
Wang Deshui muttered to himself in his heart.
Ignoring what Wang Deshui was thinking, Liang Yi continued to take care of himself:
In addition to dams and embankments, we can gather displaced people to build the outer city of Shangjing, which can resettle the displaced people after the completion of the outer city, and secondly, it can also relieve the pressure of the increasingly crowded population in Shangjing."
"Then there is the Southwest Rebellion, the court can repair a decree, appoint a few larger Tusi as hereditary governors, let their spheres of influence intersect each other, cause their internal strife, and when they are consumed by each other, the court will take advantage of the situation to change the land and return to the stream."
"The third is the problem of the southeast sea bandits, if the merchants are not allowed to go out to sea to fish because of the trouble, it is quite suspected of choking and wasting food."
