Chapter 238 This time and another time (a thousand months)
"Sir Shangshu, 800 miles south of the south, the refugees in Yunzhou are causing chaos, and there are many demonic ways among the rioters. Perhaps they are a group of people in the four Hedong prefectures." In the lobby of the Ministry of War, an official sent a document with a panic expression.
"Yunzhou?" Yuan Rukui's mind was filled with Yunzhou's location. Yunzhou was located along the river bank. To the east, it could threaten the canal. To the west, it was the place of money and food for the Great Wei, and to the northeast, it was "Yunzhou and Jiazhou are not far apart, right?"
"Yes, the Jiashui is a tributary of the river. It takes more than a few days to transfer from the Shuojiang River in Yunzhou to Jiashui." The official replied respectfully, and he was puzzled. Is it not that the canal in the east and the Yunmengze, which is known as the world's granary in the west? More than half of the grain transported to Beijing every year comes from the Yunmengze area. If the rioters break into Yunmengze and burn, kill and robbed, what would be fine?
Alas, it would be a pity that these refugees were causing trouble in Jiazhou. Yuan Rukui thought regretfully, and was about to continue asking where there were soldiers nearby, but he saw his followers hurried in and whispering in his ear.
Seeing Yuan Rukui's expression strange, Wang Jihe, who also received a meeting in Yunzhou's chaos and was about to discuss countermeasures with him, couldn't help but ask, "Duke Yuan, what happened?"
"Li You, the Jiazhou Boss, just now, had a banquet with Princess Taiping in Chun and upstairs. It happened that Dai Zhide, the prince of the Dali Temple, was also next door. There was a conflict between the two sides because of words. Li You beat Dai Zhide in anger and dragged him to the Chengtian Prefecture Office, asking Chengtian Prefecture Prefecture to deal with the crime of insulting the royal family and insulting the imperial officials." Yuan Rukui was amused and cried. He had not made such a joke in the Wei Dynasty for many years?
"Ha." Wang Jihe's expression on his face was also very exciting. He waved his hand and sent a screen to retreat from his subordinates. After only he and Yuan Rukui were left in the hall, he said, "Li You was so decisive at the time when he led his army into the palace. I thought this was another difficult opponent, but I didn't expect that he would do such a move today? I think the plan that day was probably not his work."
"A young man suddenly reached a high position, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him. According to me, Li You may have some family skills in leading troops, but that's all. The previous plan was the idea of the old fox Changhua Bo Qian Sa." Yuan Rukui lowered his evaluation of Li You a little.
"Chang Huabo is in the middle and plans, Li You is leading the army. It is indeed difficult for them to work together to deal with." Wang Jihe's eyes were vague, as if he was thinking about some idea again.
"Chang Huabo is responsible for managing the canal. He has been in the capital for so long and it is time to go back; as for Li You?" Yuan Rukui turned around and looked at the entire map of the world on the screen, "Now it is a good opportunity to drive him out of the capital."
"Now most of the soldiers guarding the palace come from his Zhenwei camp. Why is Your Majesty willing to let him leave the capital?" Wang Jihe had already clearly understood in his heart. He asked this question so just to hide his weakness and make Yuan Rukui proud.
"Haha, Daoyu, you are wrong." Yuan Rukui laughed proudly, and said intimately, "It was one time and another. If it were not easy to drive him out of the capital a few days ago; and now Li You has lost the trust of His Majesty, and was promoted and surrendered in secret, leaving only a name that commanded the Tongzhi. In my opinion, Li You must have drowned his sorrow by drinking and drowning his sorrow. He happened to meet Dai Zhide and others making noise next door, and then he beat them up. We took this opportunity to drive him out of the capital. Without the support of Chang Huabo and Li You, the overall situation is in our control."
While the two of them were plotting, Dai Xuanyin, the minister of Dali Temple who received the news, hurried to the Chengtian Prefecture yamen. Seeing that his beloved son was beaten like this, he couldn't help but be furious, "Li You, how dare you do this!"
"If you have a son, you have a father. Young Master Dai dared to insult the royal family and the imperial officials in public. Are these things Master Dai taught at home? It seems that Master Dai didn't take the royal family and the civil and military officials of the court seriously." Li You was frightened by him and immediately turned aside.
The two sides immediately started arguing in the lobby of Chengtian Mansion. The poor prefect of Chengtian did not dare to interfere, so they had to hunch over and hug behind the table, fearing that the disaster would be ruined.
Li You and Dai Xuanyin were willing to let Dai Zhide go until sunset. "I am hungry, so I won't spend it with you. I will definitely participate in your unprepared crime of teaching your children tomorrow morning."
"I also want to write to you." Dai Xuanyin is also unwilling to be outdone. He has only a son like Dai Zhide, and he has no good temper when he is beaten like this.
The morning court of the next day, the court was extremely lively. First, Li You, a Jiazhou nephew, impeached the Dali Temple minister Dai Zhide and failed to educate his children. Dai Zhide insulted the royal family in the street and insulted the imperial officials.
Dai Xuanyin was not willing to be outdone. He pushed both charges down and took Dai Zhide out. Instead, he began to impeach Li You for fighting in the street without the dignity of the important officials of the court. The two sides quarreled endlessly, and the supporters on both sides also took action, making the court like a vegetable market.
For the sake of Princess Taiping, you don’t even want the dignity of the important officials of the court, which caused a lot of controversy; doing things for her is even more attentive than doing things for me. Li Gui on the throne felt more uncomfortable when Li You saw Li You. Li You’s actions not only disrupted Li Gu’s arrangements, but also made him have many messy ideas.
I just decided to inspect Dai Zhide, but Dai Zhide was beaten by Li You. It seems that there are spies around me. Li Gui was extremely angry. First, Yang Jiefu, and now Li You are, why are there always treacherous ministers trying to harm me?
He can no longer be allowed to stay in the capital. Who knows how many of the soldiers in the capital are his confidants? If he had thoughts that he should not have, my life would be difficult to protect.
"Your Majesty, I am Yuan Rukui, Minister of War, and I want to report it." Yuan Rukui's words interrupted the quarrel between Li You and Dai Xuanyin. After obtaining permission, he respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, the 800-mile fast horse report in Yunzhou. There are refugees in Yunzhou that have been in trouble. Now they have threatened the canal and Yunmengze. This matter is of great significance. Please make a decision as soon as possible."
As soon as the news came out, the court suddenly fell into silence. From Li Gui to the ministers, everyone was shocked by the news. More than 70% of the food in the capital had to be transported through the canal, and more than half of these 70% were from Yunmengze. If something went wrong with these two places, the capital would fall into chaos.
