"Okay! What kind of ghosts and snakes are really coming out, what kind of third-rate thing dares to pick on the imperial court? It's late winter, and the palace city in Tokyo is covered with a layer of snow, and it's shivering amidst the emperor's angry scoldings.
: "Who is this Li Jiqian? He dares to betray the imperial court. Give him the courage!"
Long Yan was furious! Faced with the emperor's almost roaring rebuke, the ministers present could not help but tremble, lowering their heads and pretending to be dead, not daring to answer, but silently waiting for Emperor Liu to vent.
The most important one is Wang Yinwu, the martial arts envoy. He knows the consequences of this. He has realized that he made a big mistake and was too negligent. How could he not have thought that his carelessness at the beginning would put him in trouble?
Today's dilemma.
Just after the winter solstice, Emperor Liu held a winter solstice banquet in Chongyuan Hall last night. The atmosphere was quite harmonious. It not only celebrated the festival, but also summarized the turbulent twenty years of Kaibao and appeased the officials.
However, just one night later, news was reported from Yulin Road that Li Jiqian, a party noble and a descendant of the Li family of the disaster army, launched a rebellion in Yinzhou. He gathered a group of rebels and bandits and attacked the Mingtang River in the north of Yinzhou.
In a prison camp, prisoners were released, villages and towns were plundered, tribes were swept away, officials were killed, and the banner of rebellion was raised.
Such chaos, to be honest, is nothing. In the past few years, the Han Dynasty has been in turmoil and rebellion from south to north more than once. In the past few years, when the Hu people were implementing the Sinicization policy, thousands of people rebelled.
, but they were all suppressed by the imperial court.
Therefore, the judgment of 1,800 people caused by Li Jiqian in Yinzhou was really insignificant in terms of scale. However, the nature of this rebellion was very serious.
The suppression of Emperor Liu's party members and the control of the Tuoba Li family had already formed an inertia. However, even so, Li Jiqian still made such a big fuss. This incident reflected that there was obviously something wrong with the imperial court itself.
, whether it’s supervision or policy implementation.
On the other hand, unlike those scattered and large-scale rebellions in the past, Li Jiqian openly challenged the imperial court's ruling order in Yulin, using the banner of recovering Xia Sui, rebuilding industry, and fighting for power over the party and the people.
Big.
Such a slogan is extremely seductive and inflammatory to the Dangxiang tribe of Xia Sui District. No matter how much effort the court has put in the real border of Xia Sui District over the years, it has not changed the current situation.
The dominant ethnic group in the area is still the Dangxiang people. Compared with this, the number of Han people has indeed increased, but it is still a minority, and they may not be completely aligned with the imperial court.
In addition, the imperial court has implemented some brutal policies to reduce the number of people in recent years. Although it has dealt a huge blow to its traditional benefit class, it has also given rise to a large number of contradictions and conflicts, causing dissatisfaction among party members.
In the past few years, the conflicts in the Xia Sui area have been broken down, which is evidence of this. The rebellion of the Xiazhou Party members back then was a manifestation of the outbreak of spears.
There was no major turmoil, which was also due to the power of the imperial court and strict surveillance and control, but dissatisfaction was always accumulating.
And after the Tuoba Li family was promoted to the east, the Dangxiang tribe gradually became fragmented under the division of the imperial court, making it difficult to form a joint force and naturally easy to deal with.
The influence of the imperial court on the Tuoba Li family among the party members has indeed been eliminated to some extent, but in less than twenty years, it is not easy to eradicate its nearly century-old influence.)
In addition, changes in imperial policies, tougher attitudes, stricter controls, and bad rumors have also made some party members and civilians begin to miss the days when the Dingnan Army ruled.
Especially some Dangxiang people, old people, who were 20 years old, had a comfortable land, and the entire Xia Sui was their territory. They farmed and grazed, without strict control, no Han people came to seize the soil for survival, and no government came to distribute the salt ponds in the northwest.
Benefit.
But what is the situation now? The people are in dire straits and are suffering from bullying and oppression. The more Dang Xiang, an old man who has experienced the military era, feels, the deeper he feels.
Therefore, most of the Dangxiang people in the Xia Sui area were dissatisfied with the rule of the DPRK. Even some newly grown young people were inevitably influenced by the older generation.
Under such current circumstances, if Li Jiqian, a direct descendant of the Tuoba Li family, returned to the northwest and held high the "righteous flag", what could be caused
The impact is by no means comparable.
In addition, Li Jiqian's ancestor was Tuoba Sizhong, the "Dangxiang God of War", who could also raise a banner to attract people. Even though Tuoba Li's influence on the Dangxiang people was not as strong as it was back then, but
If you do something that is in line with public opinion, you can get a lot of support)
With these considerations in it, how could Emperor Liu not be angry? Of course Li Jiqian was not taken seriously by Emperor Liu, but he had some "reputation" after all. After all, he was the founder of "Xixia", and there were essential differences between the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.
The difference still inevitably made him a little more vigilant.
The most important thing is that he was obviously wary of the Dangxiang people, and even resorted to the most extreme measures to move all the Tuoba Li family inward, and strictly guarded against them, but there was still such a loophole, which made Emperor Liu even more angry.
.
He had no choice but to find that some people did not take his admonitions seriously, did not implement his policies well, and some were slack and blasphemous. In addition, the various misfortunes and disturbances in this period had made Emperor Liu very sensitive, and many factors converged to
One, naturally made Emperor Liu furious.
As for Wang Yin, he was even more frightened. After all, his nephew Wang Xuanzhen had an affair with Li Jiqian when he killed someone and fled.
But at that time, he was focused on the Hexi case. Later, he was confused by the Lu case. He didn't care about a little Li Jiqian and only regarded it as an ordinary murder and escape case.
However, the facts proved that he was completely careless. In hindsight, the reason why Jiqian killed many people was indeed unusual, and the emperor clearly had a special regard for the Dangxiang Li family, and his Wu Desi also had the responsibility of supervision.
Now, Li Jiqian made such a big noise in the northwest, challenged the bottom line of the imperial court, openly betrayed the Han Dynasty, and was likely to cause extremely serious consequences. How could Wang Yinwu not panic?
When the information from Yulin was sent back, Wang Yinwu was already in a panic, and Emperor Liu's reaction frightened him even more. Even before the meeting, he still had no idea how to deal with the matter and how to alleviate it.
and Wu Desi's responsibility in it.
"What is Wu Si doing? What is the Xiangzhou government doing? What is the Yinzhou government doing?" Emperor Liu continued to question, staring at Wang Yinwu fiercely: "The traitor Li Jiqian even ran to Yinzhou and raised his eyebrows.
The flag was raised, and you didn’t react at all beforehand?”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I made an oversight!" Faced with Emperor Liu's knife-like eyes in the middle of winter, Wang Yin felt uncomfortable all over, broke out in cold sweats, and couldn't speak clearly. He tried his best to make up for the situation: "The current situation
I still don’t know how, but I have already ordered Yulin and Prefecture detectives to investigate Li Jiqian and the Li family..."
"Well, the memorials from Yulin Road have come up, and you haven't even figured out the specific situation yet!" Upon hearing this, Emperor Liu blamed him mercilessly: "Wude Si has degenerated to this extent, is he so slow? Why?
What's the use of you?
"I am guilty! Your Majesty, please punish me!" Wang Wu was completely panicked and couldn't find a reason to justify himself. His legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Prince Liu Yang was standing by. Seeing Emperor Liu's anger, he hurriedly advised him: "Calm down your anger and take care of your Majesty. Since the rebellion has broken out, the current plan is to calm down the chaos quickly and restore public order to avoid greater impact!"
As soon as the prince opened his mouth, others finally dared to speak. The King of Finance followed up and said: "Your Majesty is angry, the dragon body is the most important thing!"
Zhao Pu naturally couldn't lag behind, so he also spoke, but his reaction was quite calm: "What the Prince's Palace said is that the priority is to calm down the incident at the moment and avoid it from expanding. The Tuoba Li family has a good influence among the Dangxiang tribe.
We must not let it go, we must crack down hard!”
The Imperial Envoy Liu Tinghan also took the initiative to report: "After the Yinzhou rebellion, the local government had already reacted. Li Jiqian's bandits were less than two, and they did not cause major damage to Yinzhou City. Wang Qian, the commander of Yulin Daodu, personally mobilized troops and horses
The chaos has been quelled, and the thieves have been dispersed..."
As Liu Yang and several ministers comforted him, Emperor Liu's anger subsided. However, after listening to Liu Tinghan's report, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Where is Li Jiqian? Where is his head?"
Liu Tinghan was suspicious and replied: "After the rebels were defeated, the leader of the bandits, Li Jiqian, led the remaining troops to escape from the city and fled to the desert..."
"What is Wang Qian doing and letting the leader of the thieves escape?"
