Chapter 688: Open Guns and Hidden Arrows


When the ministers saw Xuanzong asking about the solution, they all began to discuss in low voices.

This matter was not something that the generals were concerned about, so the generals did not care too much.

At this time, Yin Wei'er of the Jingzhao Mansion rolled his eyes, stood up and held up the fluorene board and said: "Your Majesty, I have a way to help you, but I just don't say it, because the matter is very important, and I really can't afford to take the blame."

Xuanzong waved his hand and said: "If there is anything more important than the lives of millions of people now, just say it and I will grant you no guilt."

"According to the order."

Wei E was overjoyed and immediately said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, as far as I know, Marshal Zhao's Eastern Expedition and counter-rebellion army now has 2.3 million stones of grain and grass.

Such a large amount of grain and grass is enough for the counter-rebellion army."

For a few years, Wei Chen's idea was to borrow one million shi of food from Marshal Zhao to distribute to the refugees and refugees, and wait for a while before we can talk about it."

The emperor and the ministers were stunned after hearing Wei E's suggestion, and they all wanted to ask Zhao Ziliang.

Zhao Ziliang's expression changed, and he walked to Wei Er and asked coldly: "Master Wei, the amount of grain and grass our army has hoarded is an extremely important military secret.

It is related to the safety of the entire army and the success or failure of the counterinsurgency.

Except for me and Zheng, who is in charge of grain and grass collection, Sir, other No one knows how you, a little Jingzhao governor, got the news.

He said, "If you don't tell me about your son Chou Yinmao today, I will ask your majesty to take you to jail and interrogate you to see if you are the right person."

The details of the rebels planted inside our government.”

Wei E didn't expect that Zhao Ziliang would hit him in return.

His face turned pale with fright, and he quickly said to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has been wronged.

Marshal Zhao is framed.

Wei Chen is loyal to Your Majesty and to the Tang Dynasty.

How could he do this?

Your Majesty, please take a closer look at such a dirty thing."

Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "Isn't it enough to be favored by Your Majesty before An Lushan's rebellion?

He kept swearing to be loyal to Your Majesty and to the Tang Dynasty, but now whether he is loyal or not is not something he says with his mouth.

It's useless.

There is no one in this world." how many people It's useless to say one thing with your mouth and do another secretly, no matter how loyal you are, the key lies in your actions.

If you can be like Yan Gaoqing and dare to curse An Lushan in front of him after the city is broken, that's heroic.

If you die for your country, I, Zhao, will admire you."

Yan Gaoqing and Yan Zhenqing were cousins ​​of the same great-grandfather.

After the Anlushan rebellion broke out, Yan Gaoqing guarded Changshan and designed to kill Anlushan's general Li Qincuo, and also captured Gao Miao and He Qianqian.

Later, Shi Siming surrounded Changshan and captured Yan Gaoqing's son Yan Jiming, and used this to force Yan Gaoqing to surrender.

Yan Gaoqing did not surrender.

After Li Guangbi retreated to Jingjing Pass, Changshan fell and Yan Gaoqing was captured by Shi Siming.

Later, He was escorted to Luoyang to meet An Lushan.

When he met An Lushan, he cursed him and was killed by An Lushan.

Xuanzong and all the ministers were shocked after hearing Zhao Ziliang's words.

Xuanzong quickly asked: "Zhao Qing, who is this Yan Gaoqing who has such integrity?"

Zhao Ziliang then remembered that this news was passed from Luoyang through the intelligence network a few days ago.

The court should not know about it at this time, so he said: "Your Majesty, there has been military information coming from the direction of Luoyang recently.

When the Anlushan Rebellion broke out , Yan Gaoqing was appointed as the prefect of Changshan.

He organized Changshan's army and horses to fight against the rebels.

He personally designed and killed Anlushan's general Li Qincuo, and also captured Gao Miao, He Qianqian and others.

Later, Shi Siming's army went south to attack Changshan, captured Yan Gaoqing's son Yan Jiming, and used it to force him to surrender.

Yan Gaoqing vowed not to surrender.

After his son Yan Jiming was killed, Yan Gaoqing endured the pain and continued He led Changshan soldiers and civilians to resist.

After the city was broken, he was captured and escorted to Luoyang by Shi Siming.

When he met An Lushan, he scolded An Lushan in person for being ungrateful, unfaithful and unfilial.

An Lushan was furious and ordered his death."

After hearing this, Xuanzong couldn't help but admired: "This is a loyal minister.

A great loyal minister came to convey my will.

I posthumously awarded Yan Gaoqing as the crown prince's Taibao, with the posthumous title of Zhongjie, and posthumously awarded his son Yan Jiming the title of Zanshan Dafu."

Immediately awaiting the imperial edict and Hanlin's agreement: "Follow the decree" Xuanzong looked at Wei E at this time and asked: "Wei E, tell me how you know the amount of grain in the army."

Nowadays, everything in the imperial court depends on Zhao Ziliang's counter-rebellion army.

Everything related to the counter-rebellion army is not a trivial matter.

As an emperor, Xuanzong cannot take it lightly.

This matter must be clarified and explained to Zhao Ziliang.

Wei Er replied with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is really not a rebel.

Wei Chen has just guessed it.

Wei Chen used to join the army in Jingzhao Mansion and is familiar with the approximate circulation of supplies and food in Chang'an City.

In addition, Marshal Zhao has It is not difficult to estimate the amount of grain and grass collected from various places in Guanzhong."

At first, Wei E just wanted to cause some trouble for Zhao Ziliang and disgust him, but he didn't expect that now instead of disgusting Zhao Ziliang, he would instead bring trouble to himself that he couldn't get rid of.

He really regrets it.

Xuanzong's eyes flashed with brilliance.

He pondered for a while and then said: "Come here, take off Wei E's official hat and robe, put him in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and order the three divisions to interrogate him."

Wei E was horrified and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, this humble minister was wronged.

Your Majesty, please spare my life."

At this time, Wei Er's father and Prime Minister Wei Jiansu immediately stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me.

I know the nature of dogs.

He can't do this anyway.

Please make a clear decision, Your Majesty."

Xuanzong waved his hand and said sternly: "There is no need to say any more.

Whether Wei Er is a collaborator or not will not be discussed until the outcome of the three-division review."

"promise" Xuanzong looked at the ministers in the audience and said to Feng Wang Li Gong: "Li Gong, from now on, you will act as the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture."

Li Gong was overjoyed and quickly stood up and saluted: "My son, I obey the order."

Jingzhao Prefecture has 22 counties under its jurisdiction.

It has a very wide scope and great powers.

Other prefectures need to appeal level by level when trying cases.

After a death sentence is imposed, it must be reported to the Ministry of Punishment and receive a receipt before the execution can be carried out.

This is the so-called Qiuhou asked and chopped.

However, Jingzhao Prefecture does not need to get a reply from the Ministry of Punishment when judging the case.

As long as the evidence is conclusive, the death penalty can be directly sentenced and executed immediately.

Although Wei Er was dealt with, the problem of refugees and refugees could not be turned a blind eye.

Xuanzong also had a headache.

Now that wars are raging, food is the key among the keys.

Especially now, the price of food on the market is artificially high, which has caused great harm to the social economy.

The trouble cannot be solved by any means.

The court fell into silence at this time, and no one spoke.

After a long time, Xuanzong asked Zhao Ziliang: "Zhao Qing, tell me from the bottom of your heart, how much food and grass do you have to suppress the rebels?"

Zhao Ziliang hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Wei E is not wrong.

The total amount of food and grass in the army now is indeed 2.3 million dan.

This is why Wei Chen doubts him."

Xuanzong nodded and said: "I will let the Three Laws Division strictly examine Wei E's matter.

But now the matter of three million refugees and refugees must be resolved.

If these refugees and refugees have no food to eat, it will definitely bring disaster to Guanzhong, right?

I am asking you to borrow 1.5 million shi of grain for disaster relief.

Let’s solve this problem first.

After the autumn harvest is completed, I will make up for it even if I transfer grain from all over the country.

What do you think?”

Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists and said: "Since Your Majesty has spoken, I will naturally take out this batch of food and grass.

It's just that Your Majesty has considered whether this batch of refugees and refugees will stay or leave.

It is impossible for the imperial court to keep these refugees and refugees forever, right?"

No A place to stay will bring great security problems to the Guanzhong area.

If it is instigated by someone with deliberate intentions, there may even be a civil unrest.

You must know that the imperial army is now on the Tongguan front line, and the Guanzhong area is very empty.

What if these refugees It's hard to accept Inciting and bewitching the city to attack the city will have disastrous consequences.

In addition, there is also the problem of artificially high food prices.

If food prices remain high, not only will other towns in Guanzhong suffer from food shortages, but even Chang'an will be short of food, because those food merchants want to Sell ​​more High prices will only hold grain tightly in their hands.

People can only sell grain at high prices to fill their stomachs.

Their life savings may not be enough for one meal.

By then, social order will be even more chaotic.

We must find ways to suppress food prices.”

Xuanzong recognized the two issues raised by Zhao Ziliang.

These were indeed two important issues that needed to be resolved urgently.

They could not be delayed for a moment, otherwise big problems would arise if they were too late.

Xuanzong looked at the ministers and asked: "The two issues raised by Zhao Qing are important issues.

Today we must make a decision to solve them.

We cannot delay.

I don't know what you can do."

Prime Minister Fang Guan stood up and said to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, the Guanzhong area should be able to resettle some of the refugees and refugees, and allocate twenty to thirty thousand to each county.

The problem should not be big, but this can only solve part of it, and there is still a considerable part that cannot be solved."

Prince Feng Li Gong, who had just been appointed by Xuanzong as the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, stood up and objected: "Father, I think this is unacceptable.

The audience area is now empty of troops, food has been requisitioned, and the county government has no extra land.

If these refugees and refugees are left behind, what will they do for a living without land to cultivate their livelihoods?

They will also starve to death or gather in crowds to cause trouble."

Xuanzong frowned and asked, "Is it feasible to move the refugees to Xichuan?"

In their hearts, the courtiers denied it.

If land could be allocated to refugees and refugees, the refugees would naturally be willing to go.

But nowadays, there is no ownerless land in the world, and the governments around the world have no official land to allocate.

People farm.

At this time, Wei Jiansu stood up and saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, isn't Marshal Zhao's Beiting Protectorate a vast area with a sparse population?

In recent years, Marshal Zhao has been working hard to move refugees from all over the country to Beiting.

In this case, why not simply Don't worry about the two masters, it is better for these refugees and refugees to move to Beiting.

Anyway, there are fewer people in Beiting.

The increase in the number of Han people in Beiting will also be beneficial to the rule.

The old minister has already calculated it, Marshal Zhao allocated If we provide 1.5 million kilograms of grain, each of the three million refugees and refugees will receive an average of eighty kilograms.

If you save some food, you can eat for three months.

Three months is enough for the refugees and refugees to go north.

It is August now in the court area.

If we deal with it quickly at this time, the refugees and refugees can arrive in Beiting before winter.

If Beiting prepares for contact in advance, the refugees and refugees will not be cold and hungry
