Chapter 673: Du Shizhong takes over the good and bad. Who gets the advantage? Who suffers?

Chang'an City, Imperial City, East Palace!

After Li Shimin went to court, he gathered more than a dozen confidants in the study to discuss how to legalize the public use of weapons by Li Yu's tribe members!

This matter is very tricky, and it has been discussed for two days but there is no result. The same is true today!

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't agree with it. It's really hard to open this precedent easily."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the aristocratic family uses weapons publicly. Once they start, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Report to Your Majesty, I will discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"My brothers can only agree with this. Brothers, if your Majesty disagrees, will the aristocratic family no longer use weapons? No need to guard?"

"Isn't that true? Which family does not have a slave? Which family is not a bunch of guards? Don't always stare at Li Dalang. What we are considering is the disadvantages that we don't want to tell. What kind of character is Li Dalang? Everyone knows it very well."

Seeing that his capable people were about to quarrel over their eldest son again, Li Shimin quickly spoke out to persuade him to make peace;

"My dear friends, let's forget it today. I won't discuss his rascal matter for now, just..."

Li Shimin stared at the eunuch who came in half;

"But what's going on?"

"Report to the saint, the commander of the Left Guard, Cheng Huailiang, escorted the criminal back to Chang'an, and was seeking a meeting outside the hall!"

"Call him in and speak."

"Here."

As the eunuch went out, Cheng Huailiang came in wearing brand new armor;

"I pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty will be blessed with great blessings."

"No gifts, flattery."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You come back from Henan Road and tell me how it is going there."

"Abide by the order."

"Report to Your Majesty, the father-in-law led a guard to the Henan Road, and he kept working hard, for fear of delaying His Majesty's major affairs. However, due to many factors, the progress has been slow, and now he has only checked less than 30% of the territory. My father-in-law ordered me to come back with a letter and submit it to His Majesty the Emperor for a look. The letter is here, and His Majesty will know at a glance."

"Not 30%? Take it."

"Here."

When Li Shimin heard that it had been more than a month since he had cleared less than three-point territory, his eyebrows were about to be twisted together. Qian Dehai took the letter and handed it to Li Shimin. The latter opened it and checked it carefully, and his face became darker and darker until he finally snapped the letter on the desk with a bang.

After a breath of relief, Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart, picked up the letter again and handed it to Qian Dehai after reading it;

"I'll tell you all to see."

"Here."

"Cheng Er, please step down first."

"only!"

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that there were so many unlucky people on Henan Road that they dared to rebel publicly and besiege the imperial court. They were really arrogant."

"It's unreasonable! I've hurt more than a dozen children before I even went to the grassland. It's unreasonable!"

"Oh! This is also the old man Cheng went over and went to Henan Road with mercy. I'm afraid he would be in a mess again."

"Yes, Pushe is right. If you change someone to be merciful, the consequences will be even worse."

"Caring? Do you dare to be kind? Since ancient times, there have been many troublemakers in the Central Plains. The government orders are issued, and only Henan Road always pushes three blocks and four blocks, and they refuse to implement them in place. They are no longer just lip service. I didn't expect that a temple can cause trouble even if I checked a temple!"

"Shangshu is really right. Even this official is like this, let alone the unruly people behind him."

"If I ask me to say that it should be dealt with severely, it is better to take advantage of this time to completely correct the customs of the people on Henan Road, so that it will be better to do it once and for all."

"It makes sense. I think that's exactly what Your Majesty meant, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Mr. Cheng to him."

"Your Majesty, I feel that I should agree to General Cheng's request and send troops to help."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I also advise that Henan Road is located in the Central Plains, and involves the Yangtze River and the land of Huguang. It is too big. The people's customs are so bold. I am afraid that it will not be able to catch the strength of General Cheng's guard simply."

"I think Cheng Pizi can solve it, it's just a matter of time."

"After next year, everything will be delayed."

"But, with another guard, who can guarantee that the inventory will be completed this year?"

"Yes, no one expected that there were so many people without imperial household registration hidden on Henan Road. It was really difficult to solve the problem if there were fewer people."

"That's true. It doesn't take too long to clean the temples simply. The problem is that the extra people have to deal with them, and the land needs to be re-planned, measured, and appeased. "

"Don't just look at the unruly people, why not look at the total population on Henan Road?"

"Du Pushe means..."

"My meaning is very obvious. Although there are many rebels, they are less than one-tenth of the total population on Henan Road. From this point of view, the people are not blindly ignorant.

Besides, there are more people who are afraid of death, and most people want to live a peaceful life. The number of people in the imperial court on Henan Road can increase by millions this time. What else is more joyful than this?"

"Pu She said it is reasonable, and the officials have received the teachings."

“It makes sense.”

“It’s very reasonable.”

Li Shimin looked at the powerful people in the study and stopped arguing and asked;

"My dear friends think, where can we ask the troops from here to help?"

"Your Majesty should draw personnel from the other fifteen guards."

"That's right, I'll discuss the method of Mr. Liu, and draw troops from the guards in the surrounding areas."

"I do not agree with the words of General Secretary. This time, the sixteen guards are neatly transferred. Except for the guards guarding the border, the other guards have important responsibilities. Your Majesty arranges this investigation and also means that the internal stability must be settled first when fighting against foreign countries. It is a hundred years of achievements and a thousand years of foundation for the court and the country. Since it is so important, how can you favor one and the other? I hope your colleagues will consider it carefully!"

"Then... the old minister means..."

An official looked at it and said with common sense;

"Why should we transfer part of the imperial guards from the North and South yamen?"

As soon as the official finished speaking, Du Ruhui rejected it immediately;

"No! No, the sixteen guards are neatly mobilized, and Chang'an City is already empty. If the elite troops from the North and South Yamen are transferred away, it will be fine. If there is any consequence, the consequences cannot be imagined. Therefore, even a soldier from the North and South Yamen cannot be mobilized. You must sit firmly outside Chang'an City and guard Your Majesty!"

"this……"

"Oh... this is really hard to death."

In fact, many capable people guessed the emperor's intention when they looked at His Majesty's eyes, but no one dared to say it publicly. This matter was done well, His Majesty was happy. If a wrong person was involved in the future, the whole family might be killed by Li Dalang, so no one dared to speak nonsense.

Li Shimin also knows everyone’s difficulties. Whoever family is full of old tribe members...

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. After a long time of silence, Du Ruhui also thought carefully in his mind that neither son inherited his wisdom. The eldest son could still defend the city. The second son's mansion had courage but no strategy. It was simply a pig's brain.

I am afraid that I will be furious in the future, so I need to wipe the emperor more and do more things that the emperor remembers, so that I can leave incense seeds in the Du family, who has been officials for many years. That’s right! That’s it! I will continue to suffer from chaos!

Thinking of this, Du Ruhui stood up without hesitation;

"Your Majesty, I have a plan."

"Your dear, come on."

"yes."

"You can summon the second wing of the Li family in Longxi, send 10,000 tribes, bring your own weapons, and the Ministry of War will send several generals to lead them to help General Cheng on Henan Road."

Li Shimin did not agree, but looked at other officials, and someone immediately understood;

"But Du Pushe has more than a dozen or even dozens of portals in the Five Elements and Seven Hopes. Why only choose the second-family family of the Li family in Longxi?"

Since all the words were said, of course there was no way to go back, Du Ruhui responded indifferently;

"The Li family has 20,000 or 30,000 people living in Lantian County, only one day away from Henan Road, and the fastest support!"

"Then ask Shizhong Du, how to discipline after wearing armor? Control it?"

"The three provinces and six ministries can only be stamped by the Ministry of War. The seal will be taken back later. If the court order is not issued, the people who have made arbitrarily acted as mobilizing those who come and go without authorization will be punished for death, and they will inevitably be pardoned!"

"That……"

The official who kept making things difficult for him stopped talking. After all, he was the best at Qin Wangfu, and he was indeed thoughtful.

"Du Pushe, the lower official has something to ask for advice. How many people should be the basis?"

"Ten thousand troops."

Du Ruhui also thought about it. Since he is generous, he should be generous to the end.

"Then I would like to ask Pu She, how to solve the household registration of Wan Jun?"
