After venting for so long, Emperor Liu's mood had subsided and he had calmed down. He helped Yu Gu sit down, his breath calmed down, he looked around and said coldly: "Tell me your solution! You go first!"
Seeing Emperor Liu turn his attention to himself, Prince Liu Yang thought for a moment, cupped his hands and said: "I think, firstly, to order Yulin officers and soldiers to continue to suppress the remnants of the bandits, eliminate the remaining evildoers, and at the same time hunt down the leader of the bandits, Li Jiqian.
Second, order the Yulin government to impose martial law, strengthen public security, stabilize order, appease people's hearts, and try to eliminate the influence of this chaos to prevent other troubles!"
"That's it?" After hearing the two points Liu Yang mentioned, Emperor Liu immediately showed disapproval, glanced at him, and said directly: "Not enough!"
After saying that, he said to Liu Tinghan: "I ordered Wang Qian to pursue the leader of the thieves Li Jiqian and the rest of the evildoers with all their strength. I will pursue and beat them fiercely. I will chop the thieves into pieces with a thousand swords and smash their bones into ashes!"
Liu Tinghan responded: "Yes! However, Li Jiqian has escaped into the quicksand, and it may be difficult to find a trace for a while. Moreover, it is also the depth of winter, and the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. It may be difficult to achieve results for a while!"
"What do you mean, if you escape into the desert, there's nothing you can do about him? The climate is so cold that you can't fight and suppress thieves?" Emperor Liu asked immediately.
Liu Tinghan's expression tightened and he quickly said: "That's not what I meant!"
Seeing that he was eager to explain, Emperor Liu waved his hand to interrupt him: "Although the desert environment is harsh, it can provide a barrier for thieves, but it also restricts their activities! Li Jiqian grew up in Xiangzhou, and he can still guard the geography of Yulin Road for a long time.
Are you familiar with the local garrison on the border?
That is the land of the Han Dynasty, and it is the territory they protect. Can they sit back and watch the thieves run rampant? Let’s first target those oases and water pools. Such a simple idea needs to be taught?
After ten years of no major action, the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty no longer know how to fight?"
Emperor Liu's state was obviously not normal. He was picking thorns in various aspects and expressing his dissatisfaction. In response, Liu Tinghan immediately responded: "Your Majesty's instructions will be conveyed in full!"
After hearing what he said, Emperor Liu's tone did not soften and said: "Tell Wang Qian that I am very dissatisfied with his performance in countering the rebellion this time, and let him take care of himself!"
"yes!"
Emperor Liu looked at Liu Yang again and continued to give instructions: "Publish the decree on Yulin Road, implement martial law throughout the territory, closely monitor the party tribes in various places, and conduct an inventory of them. Anyone involved with Li Jiqian, no matter who he is, will be arrested."
Down.
If it were just Li Jiqian, it wouldn't be enough. However, if he colluded with the local Party members, the situation would be more serious. In recent years, Party members have been causing trouble, and Li Jiqian also used the banner of Party members. Obviously, these Party members,
It is the source of trouble and we must be vigilant!
Let the civil and military officials of Yulin Dao be more alert to me. If trouble occurs again, I will first deal with them and then pacify Li Jiqian!"
Emperor Liu's words contained a strong warning. Not to mention how the civil and military officials at Yulin Road would react after hearing this, those present were already feeling tremendous pressure.
"Yulin Road has temporarily made this arrangement to deal with this rebellion!" Emperor Liu said coldly: "However, during the rebellion of Li Jiqian, those who were negligent and incompetent, or even acted as collaborators, will be punished severely by Your Majesty to warn the world! Xiangzhou knows the state and commands.
The envoys were dismissed from their posts, and the military and political chiefs of Yinzhou were imprisoned for questioning! This matter will be handled by Zhao Qing!"
Seeing Emperor Liu looking at him, Zhao Pu stretched his waist and quickly replied: "Yes!"
He had already anticipated this. The response to Li Jiqian's rebellion was on the one hand to hold him accountable, and on the other hand. With Emperor Liu's temper, he would not let it go. Even if it was just to vent, he would have to punish a group of people.
There is really no peace in this world, inside or outside the imperial court!
"And!" Emperor Liu thought of something else, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he ordered: "Send an order to the Xiangzhou government to detain the entire Li family and escort them to the capital to be executed!"
This announcement shocked several people in the palace. Although no one mentioned it just now, they all knew that if Li Jiqian caused trouble on Yulin Road, life would definitely be difficult for the Tuoba Li clan members in Xiangzhou.
But I never expected that Emperor Liu would not hesitate and show no mercy, and wanted to kill everyone. He did not even intend to listen to some of Li's petitions.
Although there was such a rebellious Li Jiqian, it would obviously be biased to say that the huge Li family is all traitors. In the past twenty years, the Li family has been quite peaceful. In addition, Li Jiqian
It's just a side branch, and now the head of the Li family is Li Jipeng.
This kind of disregard, a one-size-fits-all attack, without even the intention of censoring Juju. Such an approach is too cruel, and there is a question mark as to what effect it will have and what kind of impact it will have.
However, whoever taught them that they all had the surname Li, who taught them that they were descendants of the Dingnan Army, who taught them that they had once separated themselves from one side, and it would have been fine if there was peace and nothing happened, but now they are involved in rebellion, then they have no choice but to consider themselves unlucky.
"Why, do you have any objections?" Seeing that several people were silent, Emperor Liu glanced at them and said softly.
However, even the prince Liu Yang, who was always known for his kindness, did not rush to plead for mercy at this time. After all, he was not blindly seeking mercy. At least on this matter, he saw clearly and knew Emperor Liu's bottom line and stance.
He was determined and would not challenge Emperor Liu's sensitive areas.
"If Li Jiqian rebels, the Tuoba Li family cannot be trusted. There will be internal and external collusion. Decisive measures should be taken!" Zhao Pu stated firmly.
Hearing this, Emperor Liu smiled a little, nodded and said: "In that case, let's make arrangements!"
These words mean that Kaifeng this winter is destined to be full of blood. The Tuoba Li family, direct descendants and descendants add up to hundreds of people. If you include all the servants, there are even more.
Already.
"Your Majesty, there is another situation that requires attention!" Zhao Pu reminded him as he agreed.
"You tell me!" Emperor Liu looked at him.
Zhao Pudao: "The report from Yulin Road mentioned that in addition to some party members who participated in Li Jiqian's rebellion, there was also the Mingtangchuan Prisoner Camp that was breached by him!
In recent years, prison camps in various places have experienced frequent business trips and constant riots. It can be seen that the court's management of prison camps has loopholes, which need to be filled as soon as possible and control should be strengthened.
There are tens of thousands of prisoners throughout the northwest. These criminals are all dissatisfied with the imperial court. If they are provoked, great disaster will occur, and the imperial court must guard against it!"
"What Zhao Qing said is good!" Emperor Liu raised his eyebrows and immediately acknowledged: "I really have overlooked something. This situation cannot be ignored. I issued a strict order to the local governments to take strict precautions against the prisoner camps.
!”
"yes!"
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Liu Yang saw the opportunity and said: "The reason why the prisoners in the world are full of resentment towards the imperial court is because the imperial court used them too harshly and supervised them too harshly. In addition, the officials in various places were slack in their management.
There are many hidden dangers and endless chaos.
In view of this, I wonder if, while strengthening the monitoring of the prison camps, some mitigation measures can be taken in the management and use of prisoners to appease and stabilize their minds!"
Regarding Liu Yang's suggestion, Emperor Liu did not directly object, but fell into thinking. However, after pondering for a while, he still shook his head: "If it were normal, it would be fine. However, the current situation is not suitable for relaxation. We should still control it."
Stability comes first. If you ask for moderation at this time, I am afraid it will lead to greater turmoil. Even if you want to relax the policy, you have to wait until the Yulin chaos is settled!"
"Okay, all of you, please step aside and go on errands!" At this point, Emperor Liu had completely regained his composure and was no longer interested. He waved to several people and said, "The prince stays!"
"Your Majesty, please retire!" Zhao Pu took the lead in saluting and slowly retreated.
Wang Yinwu, who was still kneeling there, was embarrassed. He didn't know how to deal with himself. He looked at Emperor Liu eagerly and hesitated to speak. Seeing his appearance, Emperor Liu said without any expression in his tone: "You also stand down!"
"Yes!" Wang Yinwu was granted amnesty.
However, before they left the palace, their expressions changed greatly. Like Zhao Pu and Liu Tinghan, they had received the imperial edict and received clear instructions from Emperor Liu, so they could do things step by step and deal with the aftermath.
What about him? Emperor Liu didn't explain what Wude should do at all. This is not a good sign, even if he is punished with a reduced sentence...
Thinking of this, Wang Yinwu couldn't help but feel uneasy. His whole person was surrounded by endless fear. What should he do? Where should he go?
The ministers withdrew, and only Prince Liu Yang was left in front of the imperial eucalyptus. Seeing Emperor Liu leaning slightly on the eucalyptus, with a tired look on his face, he softly comforted him and said: "Dad, please take care of your health, and don't worry too much. A little trouble.
It will be settled!"
After listening to what he said, Emperor Liu breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Li Jiqian, a young man, has not yet been taken into consideration by me. What I am feeling is that in the past 20 years, how could there be such turmoil and turmoil?
