Emperor Sui Yang

Ning Chun's uncle and nephew were kidnapped and returned to the county seat. As for Cen Mingxiu, except for the [-] soldiers and horses of his direct descendants, he didn't want the rest of the army. Let's not rebel.

An army like this is easy to recruit but difficult to disband. Mai Tiezhang personally led the troops there. He first collected the rattan armor weapons, then sent his generals to cooperate with Cen Mingxiu to break up the army, and then escorted them away from all directions.

This work alone will take up to a month.

As for Tan Rongjun in Guangzhou, he realized that the situation was not good and left in dejection without even saying hello.

Yang Tanwei and the others were released and had already entered the county seat. The feeling of turning a corner made them feel good. Seeing Li Shimin was like seeing a relative, especially when they learned the whole story, they regarded each other as savior.

"If Cen Mingxiu can be killed, the Lingnan Rebellion can be said to be a consummation of merit and virtue. It's a pity," Yang Tan, Duke of Jingling County, sighed in the hall.

He is the second younger brother of Teng Wang Yang Lun, but right now, he doesn't know that his elder brother has entered the province.

Mai Zhongcai said: "The son-in-law's decision is correct. Cen Mingxiu is in Cangwu County, and there are still 2 people, and the [-] direct descendants under his command will not let go. With our current strength, we can defeat it, but it must be expensive. , It is the best ending to be able to subjugate the enemy without fighting."

Su Lie said in a deep voice: "Cen Mingxiu said that he couldn't control the soldiers and horses of Cangwu County, so he didn't bring them to Ningyue County this time. After all, those [-] soldiers and horses are still members of the Ning family. How to deal with them?" Woolen cloth?"

Li Shimin smiled: "Of course, I still leave it to the Ning family. The three sons of Ning Changzhen, the eldest is kind, the second is treacherous, and the third is self-righteous, so I plan to let Ning Huizao take over. , send them to Jiangdu, move the whole family away, and don’t even think about going back to Lingnan in this life.”

Su Lie laughed and said, "I thought the son-in-law would uproot the Ning family."

Li Shimin laughed: "That's not true. For hundreds of years in the south of the Five Ridges, the Central Plains has always adopted the policy of confinement. It is not so easy to change the status quo. The power of the Ning family is all over Guizhou, and Ning Chun and Ning Daoming, it’s almost enough, Ning Chang really can’t go back to Lingnan, and the eldest son Ning Huizao is very afraid of the court, it’s good to keep him.”

It’s as if you are the head of this village. It must be very difficult for an outsider to come in and want to replace you in managing the village. Even if it’s the stupid son of the village head, you can’t replace him.

what to do?Just let the silly son go. Just control the silly son.

The Ning family has been operating in the Guizhou area for hundreds of years, and it is deeply rooted. If you want to uproot it, you will kill many people, and it is also very difficult to kill people in this way. You have to kill them all in a short period of time. A little delay will cause rebellions everywhere .

A fire is easy to extinguish, but wildfires everywhere are difficult to extinguish.

Li Shimin looked at Guo Jingshan and told him: "General Guo will take Ning Huizao to Cangwu. After taking over the army, he must arrange it properly."

Guo Jingshan was not willing to do this job, and said: "The final general is ordered by His Majesty to protect the safety of the son-in-law. For this kind of thing, the son-in-law should choose someone else."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "If the matter is out of control, General Guo will have to work hard."

"That won't work. It's not that the general is disobeying orders, but that he dares not to disobey orders. Please forgive me, Prince Consort," Guo Jingshan said. He himself didn't take Li Shimin very seriously.

The consort, Princess Shang, although she is not a son-in-law, she is almost the same as a son-in-law.

Guo Jingshan also has a background, and his family is not weak. He himself has been the emperor's bodyguard, and he belongs to the emperor's confidant, so naturally he will not look down on others.

Li Shimin smiled and stopped forcing. In fact, he could guess that the other party was not willing to go because he was afraid that he would interfere too much in Lingnan's affairs and it would be difficult to go back in the future. Only by being a bystander can he come smoothly and happily Heart back.

It was obvious right now that whoever followed Ning Huizao to take over the army would have to stay and place those rebels in the future to hold back the military power of the Ning family.

Su Lie, Li Shimin can't be manipulated, he belongs to the prince, it is impossible for you to leave him in Lingnan without saying hello to the prince.

Other martial arts are too tender.

So Li Shimin looked at Mai Zhongcai: "The rebels in Cangwu County need to be resettled as soon as possible, or Erlang has a hard time?"

Mai Tiezhang himself is from Lingnan, from Guangzhou, but Mai Zhongcai was born in Jiangdu, so he has no affection for Lingnan. His family came from a poor background, and his ancestral house probably collapsed.

No one cares about the poor in the busy city, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the relatives in the hometown do not know that the wheat iron stick has developed.

Besides, Mai Zhongcai's first wife is Yang Xiu's legitimate daughter, the head of Anfeng County, and her wife is still in the capital, waiting to be fed. What's the point of me staying in Lingnan?

Seeing Mai Zhongcai's embarrassing expression and keeping silent, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. For the first time, he realized how difficult it is to manage a group of people.

Can't move.

Yang Tanweiyue has already stated his position that he does not want to stay in Lingnan any longer, he has asked for an order to go back, and now he is waiting for the emperor's order before he knows the arrangement.

"Then I'll go there myself," Li Shimin got up and said, "Director Mai is outside the city. After I leave, all affairs in the city will be decided by the Ding Fang."

As soon as he leaves, Guo Jingshan has to follow. If you take the lead, I can go with you. If you let me take the lead, I won’t go.

"Liu Wuzhou, Zhu Can, you two will lead two thousand soldiers to escort Ning Chunning, Ning Daoming, Ning Chuan and Ning Zhan to Jiangdu." After making arrangements, Su Lie also went down to rest.

The rebellion in Guangxi has entered its final stage.

The ending is also not easy to close. Mai Tiezhang is stationed outside, and he often encounters scumbags who attack the camp. They reject them from the bottom of their hearts. What's more, the Ning family has been building momentum in Guizhou for a long time, saying that it is the court. The officials sent down will confiscate their land and force them to be slaves, so that the current Guizhou area is full of hatred for the imperial court.

There are no major rebellions, but small rebellions continue.

In Jiangdu, Yang Guang, Longyan Dayue, who received the report, immediately held a court meeting and summoned Ning Changzhen.

"Cen Mingxiu surrendered, Ning Chunning and Ning Daoming rebelled in Ningyue County and were defeated by Li Shimin. Now the two are on the way to Jiangdu, and Qin Jianggong's two sons are also on the way," Yang Guang smiled as he spoke. Looking at Li Yuan:

"You're so good to me, how can you be like this? I didn't know."

Ning Changzhen's face was livid, and he didn't say a word. He knew that the Ning family was doomed.

Li Yuan smiled happily and hurriedly said: "The people of the dog world are fortunate to be your majesty's consort, and they have great wisdom. Their courage and wisdom come from your majesty, and they are given by your majesty. It can be seen that your majesty has inherited the destiny and is subject to submission from all over the world."

Yang Guang laughed loudly: "That's right."

Pei Ju laughed and said: "Shimin's treatment is still appropriate. Ning Chunning and Ning Daoming live in Lingnan for a long time, and their local prestige is not weak. Letting them leave Lingnan will reduce their prestige. As for Qin Jianggong's two sons."

Pei Ju glanced at Ning Changzhen, who looked ashen, and said, "The court should appease him."

"Of course I want to appease him." Yang Guang is not a mortal. He knows who can and cannot be killed. He nodded and said: "Qin Jianggong followed me in Jiangdu and failed to discipline his two sons, which caused them to become big brothers. Wrong, but since they have not shown any signs of rebellion, they can be considered for recruitment as appropriate."

In this court, telling lies is commonplace. Doesn't Ning Can and Ning Ju count as rebellion?Colluding with Feng Xuan and intending to unite with Cen Mingxiu to attack Mai Tiezhang, this is rebellion.

But there is no need for Yang Guang to pursue it. If it continues, the matter in Lingnan will be endless.

The purpose of the imperial court is to implement policies in Lingnan, not to exterminate the people of Lingnan. Families like the Ning family that have appeal in Lingnan are useful to the imperial court.

Logically speaking, after Yang Guang said this, Ning Changzhen should say something, such as thanking His Majesty for his grace, but right now Ning Changzhen has been filled with anger, and the words around him seem to be unheard.

Yang Guang smiled, and didn't care, you should be mad at you.

"Mr. Qinjiang, Mr. Qinjiang," Pei Yun, who was standing beside Ning Changzhen, found that Ning Changzhen was really different. Turning his head, he saw that the other party had a nosebleed, and his pupils were dizzy, and he was dizzy. So Pei Yun hurried to help.

Ning Chang was so angry that he fainted.

Everyone in the court was stunned.

Yang Guang smiled and said: "It seems that my Lingnan appeasement envoy is too worried, so let's take him out for treatment."

The others also held back their smiles.

In fact, Ning Changzhen is considered to have a strong psychological quality, but no matter how strong he is, he cannot withstand such a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

The Ning family has been running Guizhou for hundreds of years and has deep roots. He never thought that it would be disintegrated like this.

Are you all shit eaters?Let a 15-year-old kid settle it?
At this time, Yang Da, the servant of the Yellow Gate of Menxia Province, said: "Yang Tanweiyue and others have reported to the court that they hope that they will no longer serve in Lingnan. How will Your Majesty decide?"

Yang Guang immediately sneered and said: "As a minister, I can't solve your worries. On the contrary, you create problems for me. Please tell me, how should I deal with such an incompetent person?"

Yu Shiji said: "They have been working in Lingnan for less than half a year, and it is not appropriate to change people now. I think that the current situation in Lingnan is stable, and they should voluntarily stay in the post to appease the local government and implement policies. It is really not appropriate to throw the burden."

Yang Guang nodded and looked at Pei Ju, "What does Shi Ju think?"

The reason why he asked this was because Pei Xuanji, Pei Ju's son, was also one of the prefects sent to Guizhou by the imperial court. If Pei Ju took the lead and asked his son to come back, others would not be happy.

Of course Pei Ju knew what the emperor meant, and said: "It's not the job of a minister to submit to Shangshu Yu and retire in case of disaster. The prefects of the counties should remain unchanged. Your majesty still needs to issue an edict to reprimand Yang Tan and others. Don't they want to do it for your majesty?" Have you shared your worries? If so, then they should go back to their respective homes."

"Shiji's words are deeply in line with my heart," Yang Guang said with a look of relief:

"Those who are ministers have no choice but to act according to their feelings and forget about themselves. Why should they enjoy life and hate death? They have disappointed me so much that the Ministry of Internal Affairs and History issued a reprimand and deprived them of a year's salary, leaving it for observation."

What he means by this is that as a minister, there are many things that have to be done. When serving the emperor, you must grasp the true meaning and forget about yourself. How can you care about life and hate death?

You don't want to do it?What you say doesn't count.
