People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 248
Li Yao returned to Chang'an on horseback, his expression was quite strange, because the ministers kept begging him to take charge of the overall situation.

How familiar these words are, Dong Zhuo died less than two months ago, and Li Yao also experienced it.

But he has a long memory, and Li Yao has a fine cavalry by his side, which is enough to deal with any emergencies.

In front of the palace, Li Yao narrowed his eyes and thought:
"Is it because I didn't kill Wang Yun's whole family, didn't plunder, didn't kill wantonly, so they think I'm weak and easy to bully, let me see, what kind of tricks are you playing? It seems that sometimes, you have to kill what you should kill!"

Then Li Yao entered the palace, but the scene he had imagined did not appear until he arrived at the main hall and saw the officials. Originally, the officials were still whispering among the left and right, but when he appeared, the surroundings were instantly silent.

Li Yao glanced at them, secretly puzzled, and prepared to wait and see what happened.

After waiting for a while, Liu Xiecai finally appeared, and the officials couldn't sit still. Someone stood up and saluted and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister has this report. The servant of the minister shot Li Ru, acted recklessly and lawlessly. He killed people and seized people's land in Chang'an, causing people's grievances to boil. If they are not dealt with, it will damage the majesty of the court!"

When Liu Xie heard this, he didn't know what to do, so he could only look at Li Yao cautiously, because he knew that Li Ru was Li Yao's man.

Hearing this, Li Yao looked at the person who spoke just now, admonishing the doctor, Zhong Shao, it's normal to go up and talk about things, but Zhong Shao dared to attack Li Ru, who didn't know that Li Ru was Li Yao's man.

In the past, when Dong Zhuo was carrying a knife, no one dared to talk to Dong Zhuo like that. He put the knife away by himself, but someone jumped out immediately.

Sure enough, it was because of himself that he didn't kill Wang Yun's family and gave them the illusion that they could discuss something.

After a while, Li Yao stood up, with a calm face, and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, it's just to measure the land without owners, just to resettle those homeless refugees. It's not as serious as what Dr. Zhong said. Some bullies occupy a large area of ​​land for no reason, don't pay taxes, don't pay taxes, and are not good for the country. They really deserve to be killed. Your Majesty knows!"

Now Li Yao is a bit aggrieved, even if he is rebellious, but what he is doing now is beneficial to the country. With these lands, resettlement of military households, common people, development of production, farming and storage of food, the court can do things, and they, the officials, have food and drink.

Sure enough, he shouldn't have thought that these ministers could recognize him as an assistant to the government, and Li Yao was considering the pros and cons of whether to raise the butcher's knife immediately.

When Zhong Shao heard what Li Yao said, he obviously had some hesitation on his face, but finally stood up again:
"It is indeed necessary to resettle the refugees, but how can you be so overbearing when measuring the land? When you see the land, you measure it. Some of the land is owned by the owner. As a result, the owner of the land was killed and the land was taken away. Now the people are discussing and complaining. The court has to deal with it!"

Li Yao looked at Zhong Shao again, frowning:
"Those lands are all barren. Since there are owners, why don't they cultivate them? Since they don't cultivate them, why can't the court use them to resettle refugees!"

The land is barren and no one is plowing it, and every plowing is contended for.

Some people are like this, they continue to wantonly annex land and keep it, even if it is barren, they will not cultivate it. If someone plows the wasteland, they will bring evil slaves to collect food and compensation.

With regard to this matter, including Zhong Shao, the ministers repeatedly said, holding on to it, citing scriptures, attacking Li Ru, and forcing Li Yao to deal with it.

It meant that Li Yao was not Dong Zhuo, otherwise they would have died long ago. After the dynasty was over, Li Yao's expression was gloomy.

In the beginning, it was just a matter of fact, but later they quoted scriptures, Li Yao could neither understand nor speak well, after all, he suffered from being uneducated.

Back in the mansion, Li Yao immediately ordered his left and right:

"Shoot the left and right servants, please come here!"

The left and right soldiers immediately took orders:

"Follow the order!"

Before Li Ru and Jia Xu came over, the army sent people here, but they were not sent by the generals, and they all said one thing.

It's just that someone contacted them, giving gifts, flattering them, and soliciting them in various ways, but they didn't know who this person was.

Because the person who came out was only responsible for giving gifts to please, and didn't even say who sent him.

After Li Yao finished listening, he let them go back to the army first after a few words of comfort.

When only himself was left, Li Yao said with a sneer:

"Very good, very good, to exclude me from the court, to cut off my party members, to damage my prestige, to isolate me in the army, and to win over my generals. It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's not realistic!"

Li Yao has already moved to kill, and I am a barbarian, I can't quote scriptures, but I can wield a knife!

Until Li Ru and Jia Xu came to Li Yao one after another, Li Yao briefly explained what had happened, and then it was up to them to see how they reacted.

Li Ru didn't care. Even when he heard that all the officials were attacking him, he was still very calm, completely disregarding his own life and death.

As for Jia Xu, he didn't react at all, his expression was calm, as if he had expected this long ago.

So Li Yao stopped writing, made no secret of his murderous intentions, looked at the two of them and said:

"These people don't accept me, so I don't want to keep them anymore. I want to kill them. What do you two think?"

Li Ru was simple and rude, nodded directly and said:

"I'll do it, and when the time comes, all the blame will be placed on me. My reputation is already rotten, so what's the matter if it stinks even more!"

Jia Xu hesitated for a moment, he didn't really want to get ahead, but if he took refuge in Li Yao for the time being, he couldn't just paddle for fish:
"Actually, the general doesn't need to rush to kill them. They are the veterans of two dynasties and three dynasties. These veterans are very famous. It is easy to kill them, but it is easy to lose people's hearts..."

"Even if we are unpopular, we can't give up on ourselves. If we have to fight for it, we will fight for it, and if we have to save it, we will save it. It's troublesome for these old officials to stay in the court, so let's throw them all to the princes of the Guandong..."

"As I said, today is different from the past. The Kanto region is severely divided and people's hearts are lost. In the name of the emperor, send envoys to appease the princes of the towns and demonstrate the authority of the emperor. The general will then coerce the emperor to command the princes. This will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Hearing this, Li Yao couldn't help thinking seriously, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Jia Xu said made sense.

Sending veterans to Guandong can not only solve internal troubles, but also increase external influence, and even send people to Youzhou, let Liu Yu come to Guanzhong, let Gongsun Zan be the shepherd of Youzhou, and delay Yuan Shao's development speed. According to this idea, send people to Yizhou and let Liu Yan return to Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, Li Yao clapped his hands and applauded:

"Then send them to the Guandong, you two help me think again, who to send where, if those princes accept the appeasement, they will admit that the current emperor is orthodox, and in the future they will coerce the emperor to order the princes. They must recognize it, and they must recognize it if they don't want to!"

Li Ru looked at Jia Xu, feeling a bit competitive, Jia Xu looked at Li Yao, adding a bit of approval, Li Yao looked at the two, the more satisfied he looked.
