In the Qingliang Palace, Li Xu's mind was a mess, and the three people who had just entered the palace, Li Deyu, Li Shen and Brother Yuan Zhi, almost pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, saying that the emperor's behavior was not only irresponsible to the emperor himself, but even to the entire empire and the courtiers who trusted him.

Regarding these criticisms, Li Xu said that he was indeed wrong.

"But Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, when we entered the palace, we saw several groups of people suppressing bandits in the city, all of which were the elite of foreign domains transferred from various places by the Ministry of War. ”

Li Deyu's father, Li Jifu, was squeezed out by Han Gang, and he is still patrolling the Jiannan West Road Jiedu envoy, Li Deyu naturally will not leave any affection for Han Gang, and secretly buried a nail for Han Gang.

"Well, it's good that everyone knows this matter in their hearts, Han Xiang faintly offended the Privy Council in this matter, and the Shence Army and Tianwei Army are estimated to be dissatisfied, but we still have to thank Han Xiang for this precautionary measure. ”

Li Xu appreciated these arrangements of Han Gang, and skillfully set up means to transfer the soldiers and horses of the foreign domain into Beijing, and the most important thing was to get the time stuck so accurately, which was all the credit of Han Gang. Not only Li Xu and the court, but also the people in Bai Yujing should thank Han Gang for his responsibility.

With the power of one person, moving forward with a heavy load, changing the world and changing the sun and the moon, this is a kind of responsibility. If you cook a small amount of fresh food in a big country, simmer it slowly over low heat, add seasonings slightly, and finally achieve the same purpose, this is also a responsibility.

Han Gang will not transfer the soldiers and horses of the foreign domain to Beijing under the Privy Council, but he can use his wrists to transfer the soldiers and horses in, which is grateful to him.

"With the order of the Han Minister, the soldiers and horses of the foreign domains gathered in Beijing, Your Majesty, it is worth thinking about. Li Shen continued to attack. When his great-grandfather was a great-grandfather, he had a genealogy with the Li family of Zhaozhou and recognized the same ancestry. Now Li Shen and Li Deyu are naturally good brothers back to back.

Li Xu was speechless when he heard this.

Li Shen's words are both reasonable and unreasonable. Li Shen skillfully pointed out the fact that Han Gang had the ability to transfer troops and horses from the feudal towns into Beijing, and to some extent he posed a threat to the imperial court and the emperor.

In other words, Han Gang has the ability to rebel, and if he does so, he has a good chance of succeeding.

There is a concept forged here, Han Gang has the strength to rebel, whether he has the intention of rebellion or not, he must seize the time to kill him.

Li Xu knows that many of his peers have been in a similar situation in history. Their actions are nothing more than two kinds, one is to kill them with a hot hand, and the other is to choose to sit idly by.

Song Taizu and Ming Taizu have all faced such a situation. Song Taizu planned to move the capital to Luoyang at that time, but was blocked by the forces led by Zhao Kuangyi, the king of Jin.

In the face of Song Taizu's belief that there was no danger around Bianliang to defend, and the Liao State in the north was very strong, if he continued to set the capital of Kaifeng, it would inevitably cause a serious problem of redundant troops, and made a strategic consideration that the capital should be moved to Luoyang.

The ministers all objected, the king of Jin admonished, and Song Taizu especially emphasized the importance of solving the problem of redundant troops. Zhao Kuangyi said to Song Taizu's strategic considerations: "There is no danger in Germany. ”

So Song Taizu had no choice but to agree, and after Zhao Kuangyi left, Song Taizu sighed: "The words of the King of Jin are solid, but within a hundred years, the people of the world will be strong." ”

In fact, as Song Taizu expected, in the face of the threat of the Liao state, the Song dynasty maintained a heavy army in Hebei and Kaifeng, which had been consuming the surplus output of the agricultural society, making the Song Dynasty's countryside extremely few and poor.

After the failure of his Northern Expedition to Youzhou, his descendants did not hesitate to return to the Yellow River in order to protect the natural dangers of the Yellow River, causing great damage to the entire lower reaches of the Yellow River.

In the end, the far-sighted, benevolent and generous Song Taizu died, leaving behind the puzzle of "candlelight axe shadow", and the throne was also inherited by Zhao Kuangyi, the king of Jin.

Compared with the benevolent and generous Song Taizu, the Ming Taizu Hongwu Emperor was even more ruthless, and the emperor of the lowest background was very sensitive to power. He will not tolerate any force that can threaten the imperial power.

When the power of Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu began to threaten the imperial power, especially after Hu Weiyong squeezed out Liu Ji, Lan Yu's lawlessness began to be revealed. Zhu Yuanzhang, the lord of Xiongchai, began to purge, and finally eliminated these two power groups, Hu Lan's prison involved a wide range of people, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the loss of reputation caused by Zhu Lian.

Facts have proved that Zhu Yuanzhang's approach is indeed to make a smooth transition of imperial power into the hands of his eldest grandson, Zhu Yunwen. It's a pity that I met Zhu Di Fengtianjing.

But fortunately, the meat is rotten in the pot, if Zhu Yuanzhang sees the performance of Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di as kings, then the result of Fengtianjing is enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang feel very relieved.

An even worse example was Cao Rui, the Emperor of Wei Ming, who adopted the worst way to deal with the rising Sima family, letting his children hold Sima Yi and weeping bitterly, and listing Sima Yi as a minister who entrusted orphans.

Sima Yi was not Zhuge Liang after all, and in the end, the change of Gaopingling, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao led thousands of dead soldiers in their families to win with one blow, and the Wei and Jin dynasties became a foregone conclusion.

Imperial power is such a unique existence, when the power of any person is too strong enough to threaten the imperial power, the imperial power will definitely attack.

Today, the Han family has shown enough strength to challenge the emperor.

The biggest difference between a minister and a eunuch is that if properly manipulated, the power of a minister can be passed on in a family manner, such as Huan Wen to Huan Chong and then to Huan Xuan. And the power of the eunuch is not good, because the power of the eunuch is given by the system, and because of biological reasons, there will be no suitable heir by nature.

So Li Xu now has two choices, one is Zhao Kuangyin, and the other is Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, Li Xu doesn't want to do this choice now, and he knows that he is not capable of doing it.

"It's tonight, and the top priority is to rectify Jingzhao Mansion. Li Xu shook his head and said, "It will never be possible to do it like today." ”

Although there are many officials who criticize the current phenomenon of redundant officials in the imperial court, which has brought great pressure to the finances, it should be abolished as appropriate.

However, Li Xu feels that the problem is not that there are too many officials, but that there are too few officials, or too many officials are in abnormal positions.

Taking Jingzhao Mansion as an example, the Zuojie Monk Record under Jingzhao Mansion is the degree of the monks who govern the world, that is, the "ID card" of the monks. Monks are a privileged class that can be exempted from taxes, and such an important position as screening monks is actually in charge of several monks. It has to be said that it is the failure of this governing body.

The day-to-day management of Jingzhao Mansion relies on the left and right street envoys to be responsible, and the Suzaku Avenue, which is about 155 steps wide in Baiyu Jingzhong, is divided into left and right streets, and the left and right street envoys are responsible for them.

It is an exaggeration that from the detection of thieves to street patrols and even tree planting, this kind of management is really too indulgent for a big city like Bai Yujing.

Li Xu couldn't tolerate this situation to continue, and he was ready to take advantage of the Manichaean incident to completely change the situation.

The big pattern in the emperor's mind needs more bureaucrats to carry it out, and the Manichaean and Wen Party undoubtedly gave Li Xu such an opportunity.

While he was talking, Niu Monk and Yu also returned with the King of Shu.

Li Xu hadn't seen the King of Shu for two or three years, and the only heir left by the God Emperor could really be described as low-key. has been living in the palace of the king of Shu near the mansion of the ten kings, even the great court meeting of Zhengdan can not get sick.

Such a smart person, Li Xu appreciates.

When I saw it today, it was really a young boy with beautiful eyebrows.

"Brother to see Your Majesty. The king of Shu respectfully bowed his head and saluted. "There is chaos in Beijing tonight, Your Majesty is grateful for the safety of your brother, and your brother is really grateful......"

As he spoke, the villain squeezed out a few tears from his eyes.

Alas, what a good actor, it's just too ingenious. Li Xu regretted in his heart, this King of Shu is still young after all, and in this situation, with his age, the first emotion should be fear.

Fear of Manichaean fanatics and fear of the emperor.

Li Xu glanced at the people around him, and he clearly saw the vigilance against the King of Shu in the eyes of Li Deyu and Niu Monk and Child, while Li Shen and Yuan Zhen looked at the King of Shu with a hint of fanaticism for seeing their prey.

"My brother has suffered all these years. Li Xu firmly helped the king of Shu up. "Our brother will never be left to the mercy of the flesh again. ”

"Brother ......" Tears rolled out of the eyes of the King of Shu, and the young man seemed to be unable to suppress his emotions anymore, and began to cry.

"Come, go and prepare some soup and rice, and be shocked by my brother and gentlemen. After Li Xu finished speaking, he hugged the King of Shu, as a good actor with three years of acting experience, tears rolled out of his eyes.

The two excellent actors hugged each other, and it was a good scene of brothers, friends and brothers.
