Zhao Zhong's fat body immediately squeezed out, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Lu Zigan and Zhu Gongwei are not familiar with the situation in Youzhou, and neither of them is suitable. I think it's better to send General Dong Zhuo Dong to lead his troops north. Now, he himself is in Luoyang, and his border army is killing the rebels in Beidi County. If he is in charge of the military power, Youzhou will be as stable as Mount Tai. ”

Cui Lie immediately retorted: "Dong Zhuo has fought a war in Western Xinjiang for decades, how could he have pacified Xiliang? He was beaten by the rebels, and the cofferdam crossed the river and fled, what ability did he have to defend Youzhou? Master Hou, do you dare to vouch for Your Majesty with a human head? ”

Zhao Zhong was so angry that he scolded him in a whisper and did not answer.

Cui Lie continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to temporarily abandon Youzhou and stick to Jizhou. My Han Dynasty has been fighting every year, and the losses are huge, and I urgently need to recuperate. In a few years, when my Han recovers, His Majesty can send a general to lead 100,000 male soldiers to attack Xianbei in the north, and then he will definitely be able to go down with one drum. ”

"Your Majesty, abandoning Youzhou is a policy to follow, and you must not do it." Sun Jian, the speaker of the Lang, was filled with indignation, and said, "In order to stick to the northern frontier, my Han has spent tens of billions of dollars over the past few decades, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers have thrown their bodies on the desert border, how can I give up easily? It is really unwise to give up Youzhou for the sake of Li Yi's alone. ”

Cui Lie wanted to scold him twice, but remembering that Sun Jian was Zhu Jun's protégé, he hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth. After going down to the court, you must tell Zhu Jun and let him go back to discipline this rude guy well.

Captain Liu Ting came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, Youzhou cannot be abandoned. Does Your Majesty remember Fu Nanrong? At that time, the Xiliang Rebellion had just started, and Cui Situ proposed to abandon Xiliang, but was strongly opposed by Fu Nanrong. Cui Situ should not have forgotten Fu Nanrong's words of advice, why did he mention abandoning Youzhou again now? ”

Last month, when the Xiliang rebels were ravaging Xiliang, Cui Lie put forward a proposal to abandon Liangzhou, but was reprimanded by Fu Xie, the then councilor. Now, just over a month has passed.

Cui Lie glared at Liu Ting angrily. sneered: "How does Liu Zichang know that he hasn't changed his mind?" Now that Fu madman is guarding Beidi County, being attacked by the rebels day and night, and he is always worried about his life. When his own life is at stake, can he not change his mind? ”

At this time, Zhi Jinwu Zhen cited the class and said: "Your Majesty, Li Yi has repeatedly made military exploits and is famous all over the world, and recently won the hearts of the people because of his vigorous rectification of Youzhou's official governance, and he has a very close relationship with the Hu people in the northern part of the frontier, with his current momentum. It's better to reprimand for the time being. Killing him alone will affect the whole body, and may make things more complicated in northern Xinjiang. Now that the rebellion in Xiliang has not been quelled, it is not appropriate for northern Xinjiang to rise again. Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to promote Li Yi's official position, recruit him back to the capital, and then take the opportunity to put him in prison and punish him for several crimes. The minister thought that this method was more prudent. ”

Zhen Ju's suggestion has just been finished. It immediately received a positive response from more than a dozen ministers.

Liu Yu hurriedly played: "Your Majesty, Li Yi can't be killed." ”

"In July of this year, there was a big locust plague in the land of Sanfu, and a child with two heads and four arms was born in Luoyang City. These are all ominous signs. The rebellion that took place in Xiliang last winter has not yet been put down. Last month, the Xianbei people in northern Xinjiang gathered more than 100,000 troops to go south, and had just retreated because of heavy snowfall. At this time. It would be unwise to suddenly kill the border general. Your Majesty, please think again. ”

Counselor Tao Qian suddenly came out of the ranks. shouted wildly: "When the four realms are uneasy, the court is discussing the killing of the general, this is the discussion of the death of the country." ”

Tao Qian exhaled, and the whole hall was shocked, and even the Son of Heaven stared at him with wide eyes.

Zhao Zhong was furious, pointed at Tao Qian and said angrily: "Your Majesty, this person roared like thunder, it is clearly roaring in the court, and he should be beheaded according to the law." ”

The Son of Heaven laughed and said, "Thunder? Why didn't I hear that? Aiqing is old, could it be that there is something wrong with his ears? ”

The ministers looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This dignified son of heaven has never said a serious word from beginning to end today, and has been gagging there, bringing serious topics related to the life and death of the Han into the ditch.

Tao Qian was not afraid, and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, those Liaodong rebellious ministers and thieves destroyed the foundation of my Han Dynasty, and their sins are unforgivable, so what about killing them?" Your Majesty rules the country with benevolence and righteousness, and deliberately allows them to atone for their sins with money, but has Your Majesty ever thought about it, the money for atonement is a huge amount, and according to their rank, can they save so much money? If this kind of person is not killed, who should be killed? Ladies and gentlemen in the court, I would like to ask, which of the Han laws stipulates that killing corrupt officials is guilty? ”

Cui Lie said angrily: "Isn't the crime of bullying the king still dead? ”

Duan Qi said: "Your Majesty, Tao Gongzu defended the criminal Li Yi, and according to the law, he is an accomplice, and Tao Gongzu should be escorted to the Tingwei Mansion for interrogation." ”

Tao Qian said without flinching: "I think it is you people who should be killed." Li Yi first quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and then quelled the rebellion in Liaodong, and also let the 100,000 Xianbei army that invaded Youzhou return in vain. But you mediocre officials have no ability to do it yourself, but you are jealous of your ability and frame General Wei for colluding with Xianbei people to kill him. This is an attempt to destroy the barrier of our Han Dynasty and put the Han Dynasty in danger. With such evil intentions, what is the reason not to kill heaven! ”

Tao Qian's words hit the sore spot of Cui Lie's group, and their faces changed, and they all stood up to reprimand Tao Qian for being untrustworthy, and there was a posture of spitting and drowning Tao Qian to death.

Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, watched His Royal Highness's ministers tearing up there, and couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart, these people thought he was a fool and didn't know the truth of the matter.

This is the minister he relied on as a humerus, no wonder the state affairs of the Han Dynasty are declining day by day.

The Son of Heaven's intention to support Li Yi became more resolute, and he decided to gamble that Li Yi was truly loyal to himself.

………………

If the first year of Zhongping and the second year of the Han Dynasty were spent in this rebellion one after another, then the third year of Zhongping was a rare restoration of some tranquility.

In addition to the intermittent war in Xiliang, the entire Han Dynasty launched a rebellion in Jiangxia County, a guy named Zhao Ci, killing Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie, but this rebellion was suppressed after only four months.

Then in October, a rebellion broke out among some barbarians in Wuling County, and they were easily exterminated.

Although the rebels in Liaodong were not completely wiped out, they were suppressed by the 20,000 Liaodong army led by the captain of the Xiao cavalry, Zhang Jaw, and could not raise their heads, relying on the natural danger of carrying water as a block, and retreated in the six counties of Daifang, Hanzi, and Zhaoming in the south of Lelang County.

And Li Yi in Youzhou, in the sixth year of coming to the Han Dynasty, finally had a relatively relaxed and comfortable year. All the affairs of Youzhou, with the help of a large group of subordinates, are carried out in an orderly manner, and it is rarely Li Yi's turn to worry. He spent more of his time accompanying his newlywed wife and two concubines.

Originally, many civil and military officials in Youzhou thought that the young and fierce lord would bring them a young master or something in this year, but they never thought that the stomachs of the three ladies had not moved in this year. Not to mention the young master, not even a son-in-law has been added.

Such a result undoubtedly disappointed many Wenchen generals in Youzhou, of course, no one was even more disappointed than Li Yi's mother Xun, as well as Cai Yong and his wife, and Bian Yuer's parents.

In order to hold his grandson as soon as possible, Xun really worked hard, and repeatedly brought letters to his nephew Xun Yu, who was guarding Liaodong, to buy ginseng, deer antler and other big supplements from Sanhan and other places, and sent them to Quanzhou to supplement his son Li Yi and his three daughters-in-law, so that Li Yi and the four of them wanted to vomit when they smelled the ginseng and deer antler supplements later. However, in order to discourage the old lady's kindness, several people had to pinch their noses and drink it.

It's just that how do these people know that it is not Li Yi who has a problem with their body, but Li Yi is not ready to have a child at all, but uses some contraceptive methods in later generations to prevent pregnancy.

Although Li Yi is twenty-three years old in this life, and his mental age is more than thirty, he is really not psychologically ready to be a father.

However, in this year, Li Yi enjoyed all the blessings, Cai Yan, Zou Lin and Bian Yuer, three famous beauties in history, accompanied him every day, traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the five counties in the west of Youzhou, and even took the ships of the Youzhou Navy to Liaodong several times to visit the beautiful scenery of the northeast of the motherland. let him have a good experience of what is called Gentle Township, but fortunately, Li Yi's self-control ability is not bad, and he did not let this Gentle Township become a hero's mound.

Of course, this is also related to the constant shooting of open guns and hidden arrows in the imperial court.

Because of the increasingly strong pressure brought by Li Yi, the gate valve family, relatives and eunuchs reached a rare consensus, trying every means to bring him down, or even kill him.

On the bright side, during this year, hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China did not know how many times they asked the Son of Heaven to punish Li Yi, which made Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, extremely unhappy in this year.

Secretly, during the year, Li Yi, who was sightseeing around Youzhou, was assassinated many times. Fortunately, Li Yi's defensive measures were in place, in the Ming Dynasty, there were two fierce generals, Tai Shici and Dian Wei, who led five hundred guards to guard at any time, and in the dark, the shadow group led by Li Ying controlled all the places on Li Yi's itinerary, and did not give those assassins any chance at all.

If it was just Li Yi himself, he wouldn't mind giving those assassins a chance to practice his hands by the way. However, with Cai Yan, Zou Lin and Bian Yuer by his side, Li Yi didn't dare to slack off, otherwise he would really regret it.

In such a leisurely state, the three years of Zhongping passed quickly, and the time passed in a flash.

At this time, Li Yi had to give up accompanying the three wives to play around, because the Xianbei people began to go south on a large scale again, plundering Youzhou and Merging Prefecture. (To be continued.) )
