Chapter 870: The Great Chaos in the Western Regions
"Boss, go home?"
Jiang Daxiong flattered him and asked.
Li Xun glanced at him and smiled and said, "What are you doing if you don't go home? Can you find a place to drink and have fun?"
Jiang Daxiong laughed and said, "It's still early, so it's good to find a place to drink."
Li Xun laughed: "This suggestion is good, but unfortunately something happens today, I'm afraid it won't work as you wish."
Jiang Daxiong said in confusion: "The emperor asked you to enter the palace, but if you don't go, what else can you do?"
"You don't have to go to your father-in-law's house to go home, just go home and call Hua Shaosheng. You two have a few drinks and don't care about anything else."
Li Xun made an explanation.
Afterwards, Li Xun went to You Mansion, and Jiang Daxiong still sent him there and went home by himself.
"The Emperor summoned all the ministers to discuss matters, and you have free time to come to me."
You Mingyuan saw Li Xun and said with a smile.
Li Xun said: "I already know the result, there is no newness, it doesn't matter whether I go or not."
You Mingyuan nodded: "You are here just right, and the old man has been thinking about you all the time."
Li Xun did not leave, but sat down instead. You Mingyuan said strangely: "If you don't go to see the old man, why are you doing here?"
Li Xun smiled and said, "My father-in-law, when I come to You Mansion, I don't have to meet the old man. There are so many things, but my son-in-law is more willing to talk to you."
You Mingyuan looked at Li Xun for a while, and then sat down.
"Min'er and the kids are all fine lately."
You Mingyuan did not ask about other things, but first asked about his daughter and granddaughter's current situation.
Li Xun said: "Everything is fine. Mingyue has gained a lot of weight recently and is almost becoming a fat girl. Min'er often complains about this, saying that I have made up for my daughter a little too much and give her any good things."
You Mingyuan laughed and pointed at Li Xun and said, "The era of fat as beauty has passed. Nowadays, men prefer women to be slim. Mingyue has delicate facial features. Like her mother, she will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up. If you raise her, fat and fat, no one will want it in the future. Min'er may not be able to do anything with you."
Listening to You Mingyuan say this, Li Xun also laughed.
You Mingyuan looks very serious, but in fact he is quite easy-going. Sometimes Li Xun comes to You Mansion, but he actually wants to talk to You Mingyuan and talk about his heart. After all, he is his father-in-law. There is nothing wrong with both parties increasing their relationship. However, because of Li Xun's identity and status, and there is also You Yuanfeng in the You Mansion, every time Li Xun goes to You Mansion, he feels like he will not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Just now, You Mingyuan and Li Xun made a few simple and polite words, and asked him to meet You Yuanfeng, but he didn't know that Li Xun came to visit and there was nothing wrong. He just came to see his father-in-law and said a few boring words.
After chatting for a while, You Mingyuan asked softly: "Li Xun, come and find me, what do you want to say?"
Li Xun was silent for a moment, then said, "Father-in-law, if one day I am not a prime minister, would you be so polite to me?"
Li Xun suddenly said this, which made You Mingyuan slightly stunned, and he didn't understand what he meant.
"Li Xun, why did you say these words suddenly? But in the court... If you have any difficulties, you can ask the old man, his wisdom will definitely help you."
You Mingyuan comforted softly.
Li Xun shook his head and said, "For me, the burden is still a bit too heavy for me now. I want to relax."
You Mingyuan now understood what Li Xun meant, and he actually wanted to retire.
You Mingyuan's face became serious and said in a deep voice: "Li Xun, why do you have this idea? How many people have dreams that have been around for life cannot become reality. Since you have already obtained them, you should cherish them. How can you give up easily before you do anything?"
Li Xun looked at You Mingyuan, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law just felt something and had no other meaning. You don't have to be so serious or nervous. And as you said, "It's the dream of many people who go to the generals and ministers. Since I have already obtained it, I naturally have to cherish it and will not give up easily."
You Mingyuan nodded, and his face calmed down a lot.
The two talked again, and Li Xun said goodbye and left.
After Li Xun left, You Mingyuan thought about it and finally did not go to find You Yuanfeng. In his opinion, when young people encounter troubles, they are a little impetuous. That is normal and there is nothing to make a fuss about.
Henan has suffered many disasters in recent years, with constant wars and frequent wars. Just Zhao Zhi has been in the past twenty years. Not to mention small disasters, there are even major droughts and floods. There have been as many as six times in Henan. On average, there will be major natural disasters every four years, including man-made disasters, the White Turban Army Rebellion, Wang Kui and Su Chi Rebellion. These are large military chaos, and there are countless small riots. Of course, it does not mean that the whole world is so painful, but Henan is also in trouble. Hedong has also been constantly suffering in recent years. However, because of Hedong's geographical location, the court will still have some support. Later, the wing king Zhao He operated Hedong. With the strong intervention of the upper class, even if there is a loss, there will always be a limit.
But who cares about Henan Road?
In September of the first year of Kaiyuan, large-scale riots broke out again on Henan Road. Less than half a year has passed since the previous rebellion of Wang Kui and Su Chi.
This riot was actually the follow-up of Wang Kui and Su Chi's rebellion. In this war, the court itself did not contribute. It completely used local governors to quell the riot in Henan Province. This led to a result. After the war, hundreds of thousands of prisoners were captured, most of whom were old and weak. Of course, it was impossible to kill all of them, but letting them go directly was also a big hidden danger. Huang Xian was willing to take care of it, but he was powerless. So many people were all in his hands. The consumption of materials was simply astronomical. How could he bear it alone?
As for Wang Huaili and Yun Ji, they only care about fighting and killing people. After the war, they didn't want to care about other things, nor did they care about them. Especially Wang Huaili, who stationed troops on Henan Road for nearly a month, recruiting young and strong men among the mobs. In order to suppress Wang Huaili, Zhao Xun pardoned Su Chi's crime and asked him to lead these people to temporarily station in Yongzhou, Huainan. All supplies were provided by the local government and Wang Huaili also took out half.
So in the end, hundreds of thousands of people involved in the riots were all released to their hometowns, but before they were released, the court still made some measures, such as recording everyone, sending them back to the prefectures and counties, allowing their local governments to take strict supervision. As for those mobs that were more threatening, there were about 3,000 people, all of them were exiled to Lingnan. The court felt that doing so could be done once and for all. After all, the people had a herd mentality and dealing with all the people who took the lead, they would not be able to make a fuss in the future.
