Chapter 345: Tolerating adultery

"Father, these people are so arrogant. I believe that we cannot tolerate adultery, otherwise they will definitely cause big troubles in the future. By that time, I am worried that even if you and your mother are wise and wise, it may not be able to help."

"I also know that it is inappropriate, but I am still thinking about this matter. After all, behind them are the kings and lieutenants of various places, as well as their fathers.

This is the most difficult point, and if it is not dealt with, the court may not be able to convince the public. "Li Zhi shook his head and sighed. The situation in the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more urgent, and it is becoming less and less like before.

Nowadays, the father and son can't even understand what Li Tai, Li Zhe and others are planning. Are they really planning to imitate their ancestors?

Or do they have other plans? But they didn't look alike. Li Zhi couldn't figure out what Li Tai, Li Zhe and others were thinking.

"Father, I am willing to lead the troops to suppress the bandits and destroy these bully officials." Li Zhe gritted his teeth and said bitterly, then turned to look at the silent Li Zhe, sighing secretly in his heart.

It seems that Sixth Brother must be feeling aggrieved, otherwise he wouldn't be so resentful.

"Suppress the bandits? How to suppress them? Do we, the Tang Dynasty, also want to go to war with them?"

"No, I don't want to attack them, but I want to tell the world that the current power of the Tang Dynasty will never allow those moths to exist, so I think that as long as we spend a sum of money to reward these moths.

Then it will inevitably arouse the greatest greed in their hearts. In this way, they can do their best and serve the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly!

Only then can our Datang be truly strong and powerful, and let the world know that our power and prestige cannot be violated. "Li Zhe clenched his fists, looked resolute, and explained solemnly.

"Well, this is a good idea. As long as we give them enough rewards, I believe that those people will become a group of loyal people. Only then will they be qualified to become officials in the court who handle errands for the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhi praised with a smile, and then began to think about how much gold and silver should be rewarded to them.

But just when he was about to ask Li Zhe, he saw Li Zhe suddenly kneeling on the ground, saluting him respectfully: "Father, I kindly ask you to issue an order to send three thousand elite cavalry south to Jiangxia County.

Eradicate those corrupt officials and cleanse our Tang Dynasty of worms, so that officials of our Tang Dynasty will no longer be corrupt, bend the law, and bring harm to our neighbors! "

"Three thousand elite cavalry? Do you want me to mobilize the Forbidden Army to go south?" Li Zhi asked doubtfully. Obviously he did not expect that the prince would suddenly ask him to mobilize the Forbidden Army to go south.

"Father, the bandits around Chang'an City are becoming more and more frequent now, and I suspect that they are connected with Tubo, so I feel that they should be eradicated.

Otherwise, once they collude with Tubo, it will be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty! "

Li Zhi was silent. Obviously he didn't want to use this strategy. After all, if the imperial army was sent out to suppress the bandits, what if something unexpected happened? If an enemy country took advantage of it, wouldn't it mean that the Tang Dynasty would fall into internal troubles? A situation of foreign invasion?

"Father, Tubo is now a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, so I think you should consider the matter of Tubo carefully."

"No, this is too risky. Although Tubo is already a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, once this matter spreads, I am afraid it will cause public resentment.

When the time comes, our Tang Dynasty will never have peace. Are you trying to force me? "Li Zhi looked at Li Zhe who was kneeling on the ground, slowly sat back on the dragon chair, and stared at him with burning eyes.

"I don't dare, but I still insist on my opinion. The Tang Dynasty needs to clean up the officials." Li Zhe said firmly. No matter what, he would let his father leave this matter to him.

"I'm not allowed! You have to know that once I move my troops south, the people behind these people will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble. When the government is in turmoil, who can guarantee the peace of the Tang Dynasty? So I won't do this. If you approve it, you don’t need to mention it anymore." Li Zhi categorically refused, saying that he could not do such a risky thing.

What's more, he himself is an emperor who attaches great importance to etiquette and restraint, so he will definitely not agree with this issue. Even if Li Zhe persuades him, Li Zhi still insists on his attitude.

"Your Majesty, I have the courage to ask you to listen to my brother's opinion." Just as the two people were arguing, Li Zhe, who was standing under His Royal Highness, suddenly bowed and admonished Li Zhi.

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a trace of doubt in his eyes. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush?

"Father, my son suggested that the Ministry of Household Affairs should allocate 1.5 million guan of money to my son, and then send my son to lead the troops south to annihilate the mountain bandits and thieves encountered along the way.

In this way, it can not only clean up the officialdom, but also prevent those bandits from continuing to harm the people, and also allow the father to feel at ease with political affairs. "Li Zhe said with his hands raised.

This time he did not call him the emperor's brother, but instead regarded himself as his son-in-law. This surprised Li Zhi, but he did not relax his vigilance. This guy tried every means to steal his money every day. Did he suddenly change his gender today?

"Oh? You want to do this? This will cost a lot of our soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty." Li Zhi frowned and looked at him.

"Father, I don't want to be able to express the hatred in my heart. I just want those people to pay the price for the evil deeds they have done in the past.

Let them be punished and let the people of the world understand that the taxes of the Tang Dynasty are not only used to feed the people and the army, but can also be used to resist bandits and balance the families. I sincerely ask my father for permission. "

Li Zhi took a deep breath. He knew that what Li Zhe said was a bit extreme, but no matter what, Li Zhe's words touched the pain deep in his heart, which he did not want to recall.

"What are your chances of winning?" Li Zhi thought calmly and asked.

"Seven or eight points." Li Zhe thought for a while and said.

"Okay, then I allow you to go to Jiangxia County and thoroughly investigate those people for my father." Li Zhi thought for a while and nodded. In fact, he also admired Li Zhe's courage, although this matter was very dangerous.

But Li Zhe's actions are also worthy of praise, because Li Zhe's actions are doing justice for heaven and eliminating harm for the people. He is a good boy and deserves his support.

What's more, it is indeed necessary for the Tang Dynasty's army to eliminate those corrupt people. If these people are allowed to act recklessly, Datang will surely lose the support of the people.

"Thank you, Father." Li Zhe was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed and thanked him.

"Okay, don't make any announcement about this matter for the time being. We will announce it after a while. I will inspect it for a while first and see if your kid behaves well.
