"Isn't it appropriate to suppress bandits?" Chi Xinian seemed to be interested when he heard this. His eyes turned several times on Xu Ruxuan's serious face, carefully examining every expression on his face, and then he raised his eyebrows and said, "

At this point, I don’t understand. What’s wrong with suppressing the rebellious gangsters?

"Is it possible that in Mr. Xu's eyes, the water bandits plundering the imperial supplies and causing the people to become homeless should be forgotten?"

Even Pei Qinqin, who was on the side, frowned after what Xu Ruxuan said: "Prefect Xu, what nonsense are you talking about?!

"His Majesty sent the Queen to handle this matter, which shows that he attaches great importance to the suppression of bandits!

"Didn't you explain to me yesterday that you did not immediately inform His Majesty about the water bandits' rebellion in this report? Firstly, because the water bandits were too strong and worried about retaliation, and secondly, because the water bandits were likely to be in the imperial court.

Is there any internal response?

"Wouldn't it be a great thing if the Queen could wipe out the water bandits and find out those worms who are helping the evildoers? Are you here again, why are you objecting?"

It is not a secret in the local area that the Pingxing flood was caused by water bandits on the Minjiang River.

Therefore, as soon as the imperial team arrived in Pingcheng yesterday, they were the first to question Xu Ruxuan as to why he had concealed the fact that the water bandits were causing trouble.

Even today, Mr. Zhu Xiaohou took people to verify the disaster situation around Pingcheng, but he deliberately kept Pei Heng next to Xu Ruxuan and continued to interrogate him about the details of the water bandits' rebellion.

Originally, this discovery was very difficult for them.

Because they didn't know about the water bandits when they set out, they didn't bring many useful people with them. They didn't even get the order to deploy the navy.

Therefore, according to their thinking, after figuring out the situation of the water bandits, they should report the matter to the court as soon as possible and request the court to mobilize troops for reinforcements.

But that's it. In the process of letters coming and going, how to ensure that the supplies are in the hands of the people and will no longer be plundered by water bandits is also a big problem.

Pei Heng, who took over matters related to the water bandits, was having a headache when he suddenly saw the queen and even learned that she was here to suppress the bandits!

Of course he was very happy!

If the queen takes over this difficult matter, no matter whether she does it well or not, he no longer needs to take responsibility!

But Xu Ruxuan, an ignorant person, actually said that it was inappropriate to suppress bandits?!

Pei Heng felt that Xu Ruxuan was too ignorant, and Chi Xinian seemed to be dissatisfied with this person who refuted him. But even so, Xu Ruxuan still insisted on his opinion: "Your Majesty, Mr. Pei, I have made this decision after careful consideration.

, that’s what I just said.

"At present, although the disaster has been contained, there are still many issues that need to be dealt with in terms of refugee relief.

"Just to provide disaster relief and rescue people, we need everyone in the yamen to mobilize and work continuously. Under such circumstances, how can we allocate manpower to suppress the bandits?

"And this is just one of them.

"Secondly, right now, the common people have just lived a slightly more stable life thanks to the court's disaster relief supplies. Before the situation has stabilized, a war will begin in a hurry.

"If we can fight quickly and eliminate the gangsters at a devastating speed, it may be able to cheer up the people. But what if we fight a protracted war, or if we are not careful, we lose to the water bandits again?"

After saying that, he bowed steadily to Chi Xinian, and then continued: "My Lady, I have no intention of doubting your combat ability, but victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. Even you are not 100% sure of winning the battle.

Bar?

"Then, have you ever thought about losing?"
