Zichen Palace, at three o'clock on the fifth watch, the emperor ascended to the palace. The clean whip of Qinbei Pavilion sounded three times, the civil and military teams were in full swing, and the emperor was sitting on his seat.
"If there is anything to do, leave the class to start playing, but if there is nothing to do, roll up the curtain and retreat."
The head official shouted.
"Today, there is Sun Lei, the leader of the bandits in Liangshan, Jeju. He has repeatedly committed great evils. He robbed cities, looted warehouses, and gathered evil gangs. He successively caused trouble in Taian Prefecture, broke through Yanggu and Qinghe counties, killed Jeju officers and soldiers, and started a riot in Jianzhou. Kangfu, Jiangzhou, Wuweijun, and Xuzhou will hold some kind of hero meeting in Shuibo today, hoping to gather the thieves and bandits from all over the world who have the tendency to rebel. This is a serious problem. If they are not killed and eradicated early, they will be raised in the future. He has become a traitor, and is even more powerful than the enemy country in the north. The humble ministers are extremely frightened. I beg my emperor for judgment."
Gao Qiu didn't wait for the officials to report, but he left the class first, held the wat board in his hand, and said.
"Jeju Yangshan Po Sun Lei?"
Zhao Ji felt that the name sounded familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that Gao Qiu had reported it last time.
"What kind of hero conference is he going to hold? Dear friends, do you know what kind of conference this is?"
Zhao Ji didn't hear anything else. He only thought that the Heroes Conference was very novel and seemed like a lively party. He liked these novel and lively things the most. Whenever there was a grand event in Tokyo, he would find a way to get out of the palace and have fun.
"Your Majesty, Sun Lei will hold a hero meeting in Liangshanbo on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. He will invite the bandits and bandits from all over the world to Liangshanbo and call them heroes. This is treason and an intention to rebel. It is necessary to send a large army to encircle and suppress the bandits early to avoid bandits. Go big.”
An official behind Gao Qiu came out to report.
"This Heroes Conference sounds very interesting!"
Zhao Ji didn't care at all that this was a gathering of thieves and bandits. He just thought it would be fun.
"Your Majesty, the thieves and bandits have gathered together to figure out the trouble, and they should be eliminated as soon as possible!"
A censor saw Zhao Ji's appearance and immediately spoke. Zhao Ji liked these things from three religions and nine schools the most.
"I don't think it's okay. During the Lantern Festival, the grassroots have to celebrate the festival too! Instead of letting them run around with resentment, it's better to let them have fun."
Zhao Ji said nonchalantly, he likes to celebrate festivals, it is so lively and lively, thieves and bandits are also human beings, they have to have fun after running away for a whole year.
"Your Majesty, this has fueled the arrogance of the grass bandits. The grass bandits in this world are divided and easy to control. If they gather together, they will definitely cause chaos. Wagang in the late Sui Dynasty is a lesson learned from the past!"
Someone else came out of the class to perform a sermon.
Seeing that the emperor was still not interested, Gao Qiu knew that the emperor had not listened to the report. He hurriedly winked at Tong Guan and asked Tong Guan to help him speak.
Tong Guan originally didn't want to get involved, but Gao Qiu came over and realized that it would be a bad idea if he didn't speak up. Gao Qiu was the Commander-in-Chief of Sanya, in charge of 800,000 forbidden troops. He would definitely need Gao Qiu's help to regain Yanyun in the future. He couldn't help it now. It is inevitable that someone will make things difficult for them if they seek help.
"Your Majesty, I also believe that the rise of rogue bandits is the root of chaos in the country. These bandits and grassroots bandits are disobedient to the king's rule and are rebellious at the back of their heads. They should be eradicated as soon as possible."
Tong Guan said as he left the class.
Zhao Ji had great trust in Tong Guan. Not only did he give all military power to Tong Guan, he also listened to Tong Guan's opinions on military matters.
"Your Majesty, I think it is more suitable for Zhao'an to have bandits and bandits gathered together. Each of these bandits and bandits has extraordinary abilities. If they are used at the border, they will be a sharp blade. Ping Liao is just around the corner."
Taiwei Su Yuanjing said as he left duty.
When Zhao Ji heard this, he became interested again. It was his dream to regain the Sixteenth State of Yanyun. If he could succeed, he would be a wise king who could follow Taizu, and he would be famous throughout the ages.
Cai Jing's brows moved unconsciously. He had just fallen in love with the Jianghu grass bandits. If Su Yuanjing's advice from Zhao'an was adopted, wouldn't he be a step too late?
Cai Jing knew very well that there was the Zhao'an faction in the court, and these people were also the ones he used. When Song Jiang consolidated the forces of Jianghu, these people would talk about Zhao'an, and he would add fuel to the flames, and a powerful force would naturally arrive. Under his own command.
However, Cai Jing still had no intention of speaking. He knew that it was about the war in the north and the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, and Tong Guan would never sit idly by.
"Pingliao is a major event for the imperial court, how can we borrow it from the hands of grass bandits! It is simply an insult to the country!"
Tong Guan was furious and joined forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and recover Yanyun. This was his plan. He would not allow anyone to take advantage of this achievement, let alone a group of thieves and grassroots bandits. From now on, it would be recorded in the history books that he was a Tong Guan. Guan relied on a group of grass bandits to destroy Liao and regain Yanyun. This is a stain on his unparalleled achievements.
"Tong Xiang, the imperial court is now in short supply of soldiers and horses. If these people in the world are destroyed, they will be destroyed. Wouldn't it be good to use them for your own use and let them perform meritorious service? This can also be regarded as strengthening the military strength."
Su Yuanjing looked at Tong Guan and said, Tong Guan wants to regain Yanyun very clearly, but if he wants to attack the Liao Kingdom, he must have enough soldiers and horses. It is not advisable to recruit a large number of soldiers among the people. It is better to use these bandits and bandits.
"Lieutenant Su is not familiar with military affairs. He is a bandit who refuses to obey discipline and behaves wantonly and without any discipline. Our army of the Song Dynasty has always been governed by strict military laws. How can we let these black sheep enter? You are not strengthening the military, but disrupting the power of the army of the Song Dynasty."
Tong Guan retorted directly.
"Lieutenant Su is also sharing the country's worries! Why should the Tong Xiang be angry? However, we need soldiers and horses to suppress thieves..."
An official spoke to persuade.
"Captain Su, these thieves have committed heinous crimes. If they are pardoned, they will humiliate the imperial court and be introduced into the army. They will surely become troubles in the future!"
Yang Jian suddenly spoke.
Grand Tutor Yang Jian's words made all the officials confused. Gao Qiu wanted to avenge his son's murder. Tong Guan helped Gao Qiu for the Northern Expedition. What did Yang Jian do for that?
The officials were puzzled, but Yang Jian was gnashing his teeth in his heart. His Xicheng Kuotian Institute was originally doing well, but he encountered trouble when he arrived in Jeju this year. Liangshanbo actually helped the civilians resist, which made him very angry. Now there are people who use borrowed knives to kill people. How could he give up the opportunity? As long as Liang Shanbo was destroyed, Xicheng's land law could continue to be implemented smoothly.
"What Tong Xiang and Yang Taifu said is absolutely true. If this thief is not suppressed, there will be endless successors. We must kill one to serve as a warning to hundreds of others, and only then can the world be at peace."
Gao Qiu saw that both Tong Guan and Yang Jian had opened their mouths. Knowing that the matter was stable this time, Gao Qiu quickly added.
"The Song Dynasty has been troubled by thieves for a long time. In addition to being gentle, there are also thunderous methods. Lieutenant Gao, since it was your suggestion, I will leave this matter to you."
Zhao Ji saw that Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, and Yang Jian all proposed to suppress the bandits. These three people were all people he trusted. After hearing this, he also felt that this was the truth. Bandits had been incessant in various places during the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, so it was time to suppress them.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Gao Qiu was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed to Zhao Ji.
Then it was the normal morning routine again, where there was snow disaster, where there was famine...
Zhao Ji couldn't listen to a word of this. As long as he asked for money, he didn't have it. All his money would be used to build Long Live Mountain.
"Thank you very much to Tong Xiang and Yang Taiwei for speaking up. I am grateful to Gao Qiu!"
After the court was over, Gao Qiu cupped his fists at Tong Guan and Yang Jian in thanks.
"Lieutenant Gao, it's up to you how to defeat the Liangshan bandits. Do you have a plan?"
Tong Guan quickly took himself out. He could help with words, but not with troops.
"Yes, those bandits in Liangshan have done many evil things and need to be eradicated as soon as possible."
Yang Jian also spoke.
"On the other hand, there is one person who is the direct descendant of Hu Yanzan, a famous general from Hedong at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. His single name is Zhuo. He wields two bronze whips and has the courage that ten thousand people cannot match. Now he is under the control of the capital of Runing County, and he has many elite soldiers and brave generals. This person can conquer Liangshanbo. I am going to give him the command of troops and horses, leading elite soldiers on horseback and infantry to clear out the stronghold."
Gao Qiu said with a smile.
