Chapter 72 Let’s talk about Liquan again, I have something to say first

 For the leader of a country, thunder, rain and dew are all his kindness, and he is also the most ruthless and unjust person.

Don't look at it. Zhou Qingdu took this opportunity in Liquan to greatly weaken the power of practitioners from aristocratic families, which will be of great benefit to the next step of the central court.

Even he himself obtained a ball of Dao Yun which was the largest after being reborn in this world.

He also fell into a state of enlightenment, but in Li Longji's view, this Taoist Huang Tian was already a big threat.

If the Huangtian world can be developed in Liquan, it is possible to expand it in Chang'an City.

A great practitioner of this level is a huge threat to the central court. If he really has no scruples and acts recklessly in the huge territory of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time to eliminate him based on the current foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, he still has concerns, which proves that he is not unscrupulous. At least many people have noticed the weaknesses of Taoist Huang Tian.

It is difficult for ordinary aristocratic families or big practitioners to grasp this weakness, but in the hands of the central court, this weakness is the most suitable to grasp.

Therefore, Li Longji only listed him as a threat to Class B at this time. Otherwise, his personal cultivation and combat power alone would be enough to be included in Class A.

You must know that the threats that can be classified as Class A are all existences that have the ability to degrade the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty. There is no one in the world who can be included among them...

"But Your Majesty, it's time for the prime ministers to discuss the matter of Liquan."

Gao Lishi is now by Li Longji's side, and he is such a role to remind people of affairs. As the emperor who controls the rise and fall of the world, Li Longji has too many things to think about, and the order may not be the best.

Having Gao Lishi around at this time really saved him a lot of energy.

The only question is...whether this chamberlain is loyal enough.

However, this issue is the least of Li Longji's worries. If even Gao Lishi in the world is disloyal to him, then there will be no loyal ministers in the world.

As for whether Gao Lishi would be involved in corruption or bribery, Li Longji knew these things very well. In fact, a lot of the money Gao Lishi collected went into the inner treasury of his palace.

Many fields around Chang'an City became owned by eunuchs, which was also tacitly approved by Li Longji. The descendants of the eunuchs could not get the money. In fact, they changed their names and became Li Longji's private property.

It was precisely because of the existence of Gao Lishi, who could be called the internal prime minister, that Li Longji gradually began to think about transferring part of his power to the outside prime minister.

If you want to carry out fundamental changes, you will definitely offend others. At this time, a prime minister who is obedient enough and has strong and ruthless methods is much more useful than the wise prime ministers in the past who could make the sea and rivers feast and make the court seem to be prosperous.

.

It is a pity that Yu Wenrong has passed away, otherwise it would be most suitable for him to hold this position, and then Li Linfu as his deputy.

Li Linfu is good at everything, but his personality is a bit intolerable. This is not a good thing, especially when the person in charge cannot be like this. However, in the current court, only people from this clan can be used, which is a bit helpless.

'We still have to wait for a while...'

‘Don’t be too anxious, the current situation is already good.’

‘The losses suffered by so many great practitioners cannot be made up for in a short time.’

As the head of a country, Li Longji also knew that he could not be impatient, so he nodded after hearing Gao Lishi's words.

"Yes, now the Liquan matter must be discussed again."

"Let them all come in..."

Why should anyone come over? At this moment, there are several figures standing outside the Qinzheng Building. They are the prime ministers of the current dynasty. However, these prime ministers are concerned about national affairs at this time. I am afraid they will not think of this brightly lit, golden and jade building.

The stacked Qinzheng Building will have another name in the future...

It’s the ‘Calyx Tower’!

...

Li Linfu still looked gentle and good-tempered with a smile, Pei Yaoqing always looked solemn, and only Zhang Jiuling looked worried.

When they saw Li Longji, they all bowed and saluted, then stood up and mentioned the old events in Liquan County.

"Your Majesty!"

"In my opinion, no matter what the purpose of the Taiping Rebels was, since they have already committed massacres, coerced officials, and taken over the county, they have already established a rebellion!"

"It is better to send sergeants early to encircle and suppress the rebellion. The first priority is to put down the rebellion!"

No matter how famous he is in later generations, Zhang Jiuling represents the stability of the entire Tang Dynasty at this time and wants to reassure the people.

And who are the people in this world now? Those common people who have to turn their backs to the sky every day just to eat enough? No, but those who at least have a lot of land and can be regarded as landlords from poor families, those who have a good family background and a well-established family background.

Family, these people are the real people!

To stabilize the government, we must reassure them before we can implement national policies.

This is how Zhang Jiuling has always managed all parties.

This is the same thinking now. The Taiping Rebels are too dangerous. Their original intentions are good and what they do is good. But for this world, for the Tang Dynasty, which is already in danger, it seems that it will explode at any time.

Like the sparks of a wildfire.

Too dangerous!

If we really want to deal with the Liquan matter, then the first thing is to completely and quickly extinguish the Liquan Taiping Uprising Army!

This is different from Zhang Jiuling's usual behavior of benevolence and caring for the people, but if you think about it carefully, by doing this he can quell the huge turmoil that may arise in a short period of time, and he doesn't know how many people will be saved. It seems that there is nothing wrong.

In fact, it’s just a different stance.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Linfu, who was supposed to be the most opposed to these rebels in terms of stance, especially Li Linfu, who was the representative of the powerful Guanlong family, suddenly intervened.

"Mr. Zhang's remarks are a bit exaggerated."

"There is indeed something wrong in Liquan County. Those rebels never wanted to rebel against the imperial court. As far as I know, the magistrate of Liquan County was personally recommended by Prime Minister Zhang. Didn't anything happen?"

"I heard that we can still handle county affairs, but the execution power has been delegated to the rebels."

"In my opinion, the matter in Liquan County needs to be dealt with, but we must first arrange for someone to go and observe it on the spot before we can draw a definite conclusion and rashly directly mention the annihilation of the local Taiping Uprising Army."

At this time, Li Linfu finally uttered his heart-wrenching words like a poisonous snake.

"If there are huge casualties, there will be a gap in the security forces in the capital, causing instability in all directions..."

"Is Prime Minister Zhang also responsible?!"

I saw him bowing his hands to Li Longji, and then continued to speak slowly.

"From what I can see, since the imperial court has accepted the Liquan field tax, it means that it has spoken in advance and approved the governance of the Taiping Rebel Army. The key is how to appease these people, or even..."

"Move somewhere!"
