Chapter 658: My Prince Is More and More Like Li Chao
Li Chao took the prince out of Xiangyang for inspection, but he left without a month. At first, everyone really thought they were going to inspect other prefectures and counties.
I'm quite happy that the disaster has moved eastward.
But soon, the fire was not enough, and rumors gradually came from the south.
Some people rebelled in Fangzhou, and the rebels slaughtered the city. Everyone was inexplicably frightened and excited. What was excited was that Li Yanwang was so foolish. Finally, some people rebelled in dissatisfaction. Some people rebelled, that was a big deal. Maybe the court would transfer Li Yanwang away.
What is scary is that everyone is worried that the rebellion will eventually be uncontrollable and that the fire will burn here.
The war at the end of the Sui Dynasty was not over a few years ago, and everyone had seen the terrible war. No matter who rebels were, the rebels would eventually become robbers and robbers, robbing them wherever they went, killing them all, and burning them all. They would never have any thoughts about the people, nor would they be polite about the wealthy people.
Back then, Emperor Zhu Can of Chu held hundreds of thousands of people, but he was specifically robbed and did not do anything for production. He even killed people to make dry food.
Everyone was happy that someone had rebelled and was afraid that the rebels would come to Xiangyang, and they were extremely entangled.
Xiangyang, Fancheng, Xiangzhou, Tangzhou, Dengzhou, and the entire Shandong, were inquiring about the news that Li Chao had quelled the rebellion, and even Chang'an was closely following the news here.
In the year of disaster, rebellion is the most dangerous sign. Once it cannot be controlled, it will lead to rebellion everywhere, and the court's disaster relief in the disaster area will become more and more difficult, and fragile control may collapse. Once it becomes disorder, it will be the beginning of a nightmare.
The last time he impeached Li Chao was fruitless, but now Li Chao has caused complaints in Shannan and even rebelled in the places he forced. Many censors were extremely excited!
The censor is not afraid of trouble, but will only think that the trouble is not big enough.
For them, how can they demonstrate their existence if they do not impeach young favorites like Li Chao?
The impeachment memorials were submitted again and again. This time Du Yan talked to the censors below. He expressed his opposition to the random impeachment and made the censors cautious.
But the censors became more and more angry. Is it reasonable for Li Chao to rebel?
He was sent to the palace like a snowflake and presented it to Li Shimin's case.
Li Shimin was also shocked when he first received a report from Shannan that someone in Fangzhou had rebelled.
He even considered whether to withdraw Li Chao from the back and whether Li Chao's disaster relief strategies were too extreme. In the end, Li Shimin still did not waver after thinking deeply. At this time, he transferred Li Chao back, which was really wasted all his efforts. Not to mention that Li Chao was cold, even Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda and others would not dare to do things with their hearts at the local level.
After three days, Li Shimin received Li Chao's memorial. In the memorial, Li Chao explained in detail the causes and consequences of the Fangzhou rebellion. Li Chao defined this matter as a long-term conflict between the Shangyong tyrants in Fangzhou and the Tumans. This disaster relief incident happened to be a coincidence, and it was just an introduction.
Li Chao said that in just one month, the Fangzhou Rebellion could be completely put down.
And it is guaranteed that the Fangzhou chaos will not cause turmoil in other places.
Li Shimin believed it.
Li Chao generally does not make promises easily, but he is generally very confident that he dares to make promises and guarantees.
The Fangzhou Rebellion was defined as the rebellion of the barbarians.
Banyuetan also published a special issue, which specifically explained the previous and subsequent passages of the Shangyong Rebellion in Fangzhou. Of course, there were some processing. Anyway, from Banyuetan, everyone knew about Fangzhou Rebellion, which was the standard official interpretation version.
They are all barbarians who are rebellious, savage, and fierce, etc.
The newspapers particularly focused on the tragic situation of Shangyong's massacre. The entire county town was slaughtered and more than 3,000 people were killed. In addition, the countryside was killed and plundered, the great and tragic losses made readers angry, and the local barbarians were criticized by thousands of people.
Everyone's finger was also directed at the local barbarians, and no one linked the Shangyong Rebellion with the court and Li Chao's disaster relief and prevention policies.
On this day, I was busy all day and returned to Lizheng Palace.
"Guanyin maid, I suddenly want to eat fish and freeze."
Changsun was a little surprised, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly think of eating fish and frozen?"
"Today, the prince wrote another letter, saying that the fish scale jelly was delicious, and he also attached the method of the fish scale hole in the letter. This kid is getting more and more courageous. Not only did he go to Shannan, but he is still following Li Chao to suppress rebellions in the mountains all day long. I can't believe that my prince, the seven-year-old prince, has already gone to the battlefield!"
"Your Majesty, Cheng Qian is eight years old now."
"Eight years old, not eight years old. When I led the army, I was also sixteen years old. Chengqian, I still have a plant for me!" Li Shimin said this, he was a little proud and proud. Such a prince actually felt very fond of his appetite.
"Have the rebellion in Fangzhou not been quelled yet?"
"It's almost done. Li Chao has been fighting in the mountains for more than a month, and his troops are divided into many groups. This time, not only Fangzhou, but also Jinzhou, Junzhou and other surrounding states are considered unlucky. Either he honestly registers household registration, land, forests, and pays taxes and food to the court, or he will be defeated."
"Li Xiang is still so tough at this time. Will he force the barbarians to rebel?"
"No, the southern barbarians and yao have never been able to do anything. They are just ordinary loose sand, fighting in the nest, and they usually hunt heads and kill each other, and they are not convinced. This incident happened to Shangyong this time, which was considered very unexpected. Li Chao took advantage of the Shangyong Rebellion to deal with Xiatuman and also gave them some warnings. Sometimes, we cannot show weakness. The more we show weakness, the more they feel they can jump out."
Li Shimin supported Li Chao's approach to taking the opportunity to beat the Tuman in Shandong. He should not be abusive to these Tumans, take the opportunity to clean up and beat them up, and then warn them, so as not to turn back, and do something to do to death. Li Chao would not have so much time to teach those guys a lesson again and again.
Empress Changsun didn't understand those very well. She asked, "We should have killed a lot of people this time, right?"
"Well, I have killed a lot of people. There are still many arbitrary barbarians. Li Chao divided his troops into many groups, wiped out dozens of villages, killed more than 5,000 people, and captured more than 30,000 people. Li Chao reported that all the prisoners were to be sent to Longyou, Shuofang, Hexi, Hedong and other frontiers, so that they could be official slaves and farming for border troops. I think it's not bad."
"I don't understand the government affairs, so I'll stop commenting on it randomly. Did Prince Yu Scale Jelly say what to do?"
"Well, I said it, I'll show you the letter."
Changsun read the letter and smiled, "The prince's words are written more and more powerfully. You can feel that he has grown up a lot in the words."
"Yes, I admire Li Chao very much. I have not many people in my life. Li Chao is definitely one. He can be a civil and military man, especially his children, and I feel that Cheng Qian will become the second Li Chao in the future. Yun Wen Yunwu, well, he can also become a prince who is very good at cooking!"
Changsun couldn't help but chuckled.
"It's okay to know how to cook. Your Majesty thinks that Li Xiangguo has superb cooking skills, but his ability to govern the country and pacify the world is not inferior to other prime ministers."
"This is the case. Chengqian's letter said that it is best to use the scales of big fish for fish. I sent someone to the Li family in Bashang to ask them to send them some big fish with more than 20 kilograms."
"Forget it. When the Li family in Bashang sent the fish, His Majesty's fish will be frozen until tomorrow."
