All these are signs of national destruction.
To be honest, even though Liang Yi was somewhat mentally prepared, he never expected that Da Zhou would have reached such a critical moment.
No wonder the emperor already looked like a dying man.
Faced with such national affairs every day, it is difficult not to lose your life.
Emperor Zhou looked at the silent ministers, leaning on the throne, his face full of exhaustion that could not be concealed.
"This is the current predicament of our great Zhou Dynasty. There are plagues everywhere, rebels and civil strife, and refugees everywhere."
"My dear friends, do you have any good ideas?"
Then he looked at the princes.
"What can you princes do?"
Liang Yizheng wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Liang Ding beside him.
"To inform my father, I have some suggestions. I wonder if they can help my father."
“Speak freely.”
Liang Ding cleared his throat, looked at Liang Yi slightly provocatively, and talked calmly.
"When there is a severe drought in Huainan and a severe flood in the Yangtze River, we can order the provincial government offices to open warehouses to release grain, call in the refugees to build river embankments, and use work as relief. The wild land in the southwest is full of miasma, which is really useless for our government. It is better to turn this place Give up"
"Merchant ships along the southeast coast are easy to be robbed by pirates. If private people are prohibited from going to the sea, wouldn't merchant ships be robbed? Our Zhou Dynasty is rich in products, why do we have to go overseas to do business?"
"The Six Guards of Mobei are in urgent need. It is better to withdraw the front line within the Great Wall. Relying on the Great Wall can protect the Han territory."
After Liang Ding said this, all the ministers applauded.
Even Emperor Zhou felt that a comprehensive strategic retreat was a good method, and now the form was stronger than the people.
And the three princes sitting at the head of Emperor Zhou.
Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui looked at each other.
Obviously, they were satisfied with Liang Ding's answer after comparing prices.
Although it seems a little naive in terms of opinions, the specific content coincides with their ideas.
Ling Ziqi said nothing.
As a military commander, I will never tolerate giving up territory.
But the situation is stronger than the person, and there are some things that he cannot control.
There are many ministers in the court who have this idea, and most of them are civil servants.
This is also normal.
When faced with major national policies, civil servants tend to weigh the pros and cons more often, and they often do whatever they can when it comes to things that are beneficial, even if it is just a small gain in front of them.
Liang Ding enjoyed the praise from the ministers and glanced at Liang Yi proudly and with a hint of provocation.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not see Liang Yi's unwilling expression, but the other party's face was full of ridicule and disdain.
Liang Ding was a little angry.
Still pretending! How long can you pretend to be?
Among these many princes, I am the best candidate for heir apparent!
Looking at the ministers who were all cheering, Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui looked happy, and Emperor Zhou also showed satisfaction in his eyes.
Liang Yi sighed.
The Gong Gong princes in the court only care about their immediate interests.
Only Liang Yi knows.
I don’t know how many dynasties chose to retreat temporarily because of temporary difficulties, and then they could no longer hold their heads up in front of foreigners.
Therefore, he scorned Liang Ding's idea of giving up the southwest and retreating to Mobei.
Wait until the discussion in the court gradually died down.
Liang Yicai slowly turned around and glared at the ministers with sharp eyes.
"Anyone who retreats will be killed!"
The voice was not loud, but it was extremely loud. Everyone in the hall looked at Liang Yi.
Liang Yi wore a scarlet python robe and walked slowly to the center of the civil and military train.
"All the high officials in the dynasty don't want to make progress. They just want to retreat when something happens!"
"If the chieftains in the southwest rebel today, abandon the southwest. What about the rebellion in Liaodong tomorrow? If one day someone rebels in the imperial city, will you still kidnap the Holy Emperor and give it to the rebels?"
"The prince is confusing the concept. How can the harsh and harsh southwest be compared with the capital of Liaodong?"
Liang Yi glanced at the speaker.
He had some impression that he was a die-hard member of the second prince, the Minister of Rites, Guo Xiu. From a second-rank official, he could be regarded as the backbone of the Liang Ding faction.
"It's you who confuses the concept!"
"Why can't the southwest be compared with Liaodong and Jincheng? In my eyes, every inch of the land of the Great Zhou is important, and the territory of the Great Zhou is only less!"
"But now that the situation is not good, it is necessary to give up appropriately. If you take a step back, the world will be brighter."
Guo Xiu continued to respond.
"Fuck your mother!"
"Prince, please don't say such dirty words!"
Han Qi was a little anxious.
Liang Yi ignored him, but pointed at Guo Xiu and yelled:
"You are a moron like you who is an official in the court and has no ambition to make progress! You can even say such traitorous things!"
"you you you you!"
Guo Xiu said the word "you" several times in a row, feeling speechless.
Liang Ding on the side was already pale.
Anyone can hear that Liang Yi is criticizing Sang and Huai.
But Liang Yi took the title of righteousness, and he couldn't refute it.
Look at Liang Liang on the side.
The smile on this guy's face was almost unbearable.
Liang Ding suddenly felt annoyed.
Suppressing his anger, he walked to Liang Yi.
But he didn't dare to get too close to Liang Yi. If this guy saw him unhappy and kicked him, it would be no joke.
"Since the Crown Prince does not agree with my idea, can the Crown Prince help my younger brother clear up my doubts?"
Liang Ding stared at Liang Yi and said every word through gritted teeth.
Since you don't agree with my point of view, then come up with a better way, don't just force me and don't want to recruit!
Liang Yi looked at Liang Ding with a sarcastic face and said slowly:
"Then please listen!"
Then he unfurled his python robe and strode to Emperor Zhou's seat.
"Now that our country is facing a crisis, all issues must be prioritized."
"First of all, I think the most urgent issue is the problem of refugees in Beijing!"
"Once these refugees cause chaos, they will definitely attack the capital, with a total of 180,000 people. At the least, the court will lose face, and at the worst, it will change the dynasty!"
"What does the prince mean by not accepting these refugees in Beijing?" Wang Deshui asked.
"No! If even the capital refuses to accept them, then the various state capitals must follow suit and reject the influx of refugees."
"So, Shangjing must not only accept, but also accept more, and resettle the refugees well!"
This is not nonsense! That's about it for the prince.
Wang Deshui muttered secretly in his heart.
Ignoring what Wang Deshui was thinking, Liang Yi continued:
"Relief through work is naturally indispensable. After all, idleness breeds chaos. In addition to dams and embankments, we can gather refugees to build the outer city of Shangjing. Firstly, after the outer city is completed, the refugees can be resettled. Secondly, it can also alleviate the increasing pressure on Shangjing." Crowding population pressure.”
"Then there was the Southwest Rebellion. The imperial court could create a decree and appoint several larger chieftains as hereditary governors, so that their spheres of influence would intersect with each other, causing internal strife among them. After they had exhausted each other, the imperial court would take advantage of the situation and return to the throne. .”
"The third problem is the pirates in the southeast. If merchants are not allowed to go to sea and fishermen go fishing because of the pirates, it is quite suspected that they will stop eating due to choking."
