The great emperor of crossing

The mission to the Western Regions finally set off, Zhao Lie was very pleased to see these people leaving.

"These people are really heroes. I really hope that they can return triumphantly in a month or so. I will continue to welcome them here then."

Suddenly, the panic-stricken Eunuch Xu appeared, with an unopened eight hundred li urgent mail in his hand.

"What the hell is going on? Don't you see that I am sending them away?"

"This is the military report just submitted by the military department. The slave didn't dare to delay the military plane, so he submitted it immediately."

Zhao Lie opened the letter directly, and his expression darkened for a moment.

"Go back to the sleeping hall and let a few first-rank ministers come over directly for a meeting!"

The few ministers who were still immersed in such a grand scene did not notice the emergence of a new crisis at all.

In the sleeping hall, several ministers were afraid to speak when they saw Zhao Lie with such an ugly face.

"Don't be nervous, it's not your fault, but please take a look at this dispatch."

Several ministers were holding the urgent mail, and they all looked flustered immediately, and there were still many levels of confusion.

"Do you all find it strange? There was a riot in the Bashu area. What is going on? Is there a problem with the policy of the empire, or did the local officials have some unnecessary disadvantages when they enforced the law?"

"Your Majesty, I am the order of Zhongshu. This matter is naturally my duty. If Your Majesty allows it, I am willing to go to the Bashu area immediately to put an end to the chaos and find out the actual situation. This time, I hope that Your Majesty will give you the opportunity to handle it with full authority. .”

Wei Yang couldn't sit still anymore. There was such a serious riot in an area. In his opinion, there must be something wrong with the local officials, because the current policy has no disadvantages, and Zhang Yi is a very smart The ministers, together with Li Bing, have achieved a lot in governing Bashu in recent years. Although their father and son have retired now, many people still rely on them.

"Zhongshuling, do you really decide to take a trip? They say that the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. If you really go there, you won't be able to bring many people with you."

"There is no need to bring an army there at all. The minister only needs to bring the Ting Wei there, and of course there are 3000 people from the Commander Zhisu!"

Wei Yang appeared in front of everyone again.

"Is this another time to start over after 20 years?"

Zhao Lie thought of Wei Yang's reform at the beginning, it was truly unprecedented.

"Does Your Majesty still remember Che Ying? He is now a second-rank official of the Ministry of Education, so let's use the same team this time!"

In this way, Wei Yang left Chang'an City with his original team.

After half a month of trekking, they finally came to Rongcheng, the capital of the Bashu area, but found that this place is no longer the land of abundance, and there is famine everywhere. Although there is no flood, the people here seem to be no longer willing to plant. .

"Where is the order of Rongcheng?"

Seeing the current situation, Wei Yang was really angry and didn't know what to do.

"Zhongshu Ling, this Rongcheng Ling is dead, and was beaten to death by these rioters."

A local official looked very frightened, as if he still had lingering fears after saying this, but Wei Yang just gave him a vicious look.

"Then where is Li Bing?"

"They are at ease at home."

The officials accompanied by Wei Yang always felt that something was weird.

A group of people came directly to the door of Li Bing's house, but found that the people here had blocked the door of the house.

"Look, a new dog officer has appeared."

"Dog officer, what's going on?"

Wei Yang looked at the officials around him and always felt that something was wrong here.

"Master Zhongshu Ling, these people are all troublemakers. Our Rongcheng Ling took everyone to plant in the fields all day long, but this year there was a severe drought, but he didn't consider reporting it, because he knew that the country still had There were a lot of difficulties, so I tried to take advantage of the location and carried it by myself, but I was finally killed by these unscrupulous people.”

"You want to tell me that he is a loyal minister, right?"

"exactly!"

"That is to say, the whole number is full of troublemakers, right?"

"Yep!"

"Then you should explain to me why there were no riots when Li Bing governed Bashu!"

Wei Yang's words left the official speechless.

"Che Ying, set up the stage here, I want to talk."

Che Ying took the time to set up a simple platform, and Wei Yang stood on it directly, looking at the aggrieved people here, it seemed that everything was understood.

"Everyone, I don't know what happened here. Half a month ago, I was still serving His Majesty in Chang'an City. After seeing the news, I rushed here overnight. Why did Bashu, which is known as the land of abundance, become what it is now? Who can tell? Give me an answer, is it really because of a natural disaster?"

There was no sound below, and no one wanted to listen to him.

"Everyone, I am Ling Wei Yang of Zhongshu. You should know that the reform of Youyun Kingdom 20 years ago, although the national law has temporarily expired, the interim law is still in effect, so if you have any grievances, don't worry, I will represent you when I come here. His Majesty's meaning."

Suddenly Li Bing's door opened.

"Brother Wei Yang, I've waited for you. If I hadn't closed the door tightly, I think I would have died by now."

"Nonsense, who is going to kill you? You dog officer spouts blood."

"Me? Dog official? I remember His Majesty once said that an official should let the masses speak. When you call them troublemakers, you are already corrupt officials."

At this moment, Wei Yang seems to have understood the truth of this.

"Starting today, I won't live in the official residence. This Li Bing is my good friend for many years. I live in his house. If you have any grievances, you can directly tell me!"

"No! If you, a dog official, go to Master Li Bing's house, you will definitely kill him."

The common people totally disagree with Wei Yang's statement.

"Okay! If anyone is worried that I will kill Master Li Bing, I will license him to be my personal bodyguard."

"The Zhongshu orders are not allowed."

"Shut up, you don't have the right to speak here! Just now, you misled me with your rude words. According to the interim law, you misled the judgment. Come here and send them directly to prison. Che Ying will directly take down the Rongcheng Mansion. All the officials All of them will be sent to the prison, and they will be held separately, and no series of incidents will be allowed."

"it is good!"

Such a vigorous and resolute style of work made Wei Yang directly win the hearts of the people.

"It seems that this Zhongshu Ling is really not joking. We will trust him once this time, and we will all go home and wait for the news!"

The common people left like this, and the two old friends finally met under such circumstances.
