Chapter 396 Yizhou Peace When The Storm Arose

A Mid-Autumn Festival banquet not only made the gentry and scholars in Yizhou get to know the young governor again.It also made a long and short sentence called "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" all the rage.

Among scholars, there has never been a lack of emotional people.Luo Yan's sentence "I hope you will live a long life and share the beauty of a thousand miles", made those scholars in foreign lands burst into tears.And the saying "people have joys and sorrows, and the moon has cloudy and sunny periods" has made many scholars nod with regrets in their hearts.

The most important thing about literature handed down from generation to generation is not its form, but whether it can move people's hearts.Obviously, "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" is such a poem that is destined to be sung through the ages as soon as it is born.

The bustling Mid-Autumn Festival is over.

The name of Luo Yan also completely lifted the veil of mystery.If the previous events only saw Luo Yan close to the people, then this time I also saw a rich and powerful but talented Luo governor.

At the same time, many people thought of the phrase "the blessing of Yizhou" that Mr. Deng said earlier.Now it seems that as long as Luo Yan can maintain the current style, it is indeed a blessing for Yizhou.

And the things that made Luo Yan happy were more than that. The time came to September, and in the clear weather, Liu Rengui sent someone to report that the last tribe of mountain barbarians in Yizhou, the mountain barbarians in Xinzhou County in Tang'an County, had been recruited.

Although the money and food from the treasury were being sent out like running water during this period, not only did Cang Cao, who was in charge of the money and food, feel a little bit pained, but even long officials like Yang Rui were a little worried.But now that the good news came, even if there were some complaints at first, no one would say it since then.

The mountain barbarians in Yizhou, all these years were spent on conquering and looting tribes down the mountain, and the sum of all the extravagance was more than what is spent today.

"After the naturalization, Hucao and the counties went to grant land. Tell them that the tax will be exempted for three years, and the tax will be halved for the next two years. But these labors are in accordance with the regulations of the court, and there must be no evasion." Originally This is a way of dealing with the imperial court's appeasement, and now it is used by Luo Yan, so naturally no one will disobey it.

Having received such great news, Luo Yan was not in a hurry to report the memorial to the court.Now that I have just seen results, it is not appropriate to rush to report.The best way should be to help the mountain man survive the cold winter, so as to get the greatest effect.

However, it is still possible to report the good news to the people of Yizhou.Not only can it ease the conflict between the barbarians and the common people, but it can also logically propose the next step.

Therefore, in the city of Chengdu, there was another scene without accident this day, and that was the good news posted by the Governor's Mansion.The whole area of ​​Yizhou is recruiting the mountain barbarians. This kind of generosity is simply a joke.

But now that this kind of joke is written and posted on the notice by the governor's mansion, the matter has become a lot of fun.

"Really, the governor's mansion is not blowing up. You must know that there are many thorns in the mountain barbarians. When the governor of Qiu was here, the countless benefits promised did not appease these tribes. .Now that I haven’t heard anything, is this Yizhou settled?”

"I also think it's a joke. You must know that in the counties of Jinshui, the mountain man has been around for a long time, since the Han Dynasty. Not only is he familiar with the mountain terrain, but he is also completely self-sufficient. The leaders of their tribes, their brains You will be comforted only if you are kicked by a donkey."

"Brothers, you may not know. I heard from my cousin's aunt in Jintang County that the Tianjie Army guarding them disappeared mysteriously for half a month. It is said that they went to the mountains on the other side of Jinshui Fire out."

"Could it be that the imperial court fought many battles with the Shanman before we knew it?"

After all, the people are just guessing, and the facts are indeed not far from their guesses.The Tianjie Army did go to the mountains and forests of Jinshui to fight the fire, but the premise is that they set the fire.It is true that setting fire to the mountains in autumn is not a good thing, but within a controllable range, using harsh methods to deter the extremely barbaric mountain barbarians, even though Luo Yan hesitated again and again, he still agreed to Liu Rengui's request.

No matter what it is, behind the peace, there is always a murderous intention hidden.

Of course, Chaotang didn't know the peace of Yizhou, and naturally he didn't know the bloody and murderous intentions in it.

Now the focus of the court's attention, apart from the serious illness of the Supreme Emperor, is the fact that Luo Yan, the Governor of Yizhou, blatantly kneeled down to the Shanman regardless of the state.

The roads in Shu were difficult. Although Yizhou officials followed the Kuaima official road, it took nearly a month to reach Chang'an.Reports like this must first be submitted to the Ministry of Education, and then delivered to Li Shimin. There were various twists and turns in the middle, and by the time the news spread to the government and the public, it was already early September.

In the eyes of the officials, when Luo Yan knelt, he not only lost face as a scholar, but also lost face as a court.Heaven, earth, monarch, relatives and teachers, all of these five categories are the objects of a gentleman's respect.Those mountain savages are not even considered ordinary people, so they are not worthy of respect.

At this moment, the invisible gap between the scholar-bureaucrats and the ordinary people is set off very clearly.As Yushitai was the main position for the pickets to report crimes, it was natural that all the artillery fire was aimed at Luo Yan at this moment.

This time there is no need to wait for the court meeting.Go straight to the office and ignore the matter.Compared with the simplicity of language, sometimes words can render some meanings to the extreme.Most officials in the DPRK and China are familiar with this method. If you want to impeach a person, you can use words as a knife to skin and cramp the person.

"Yizhou Inspector Luo Yan, as a superior official, brazenly kneels down to worship the mountain man..."

"Luo Yan is a noble, shameless, kneeling down..."

"Duke Cheng has lost all his glory..."

"As a son-in-law, I have no shame..."

Li Shimin looked at the impeachment memorials one after another, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.He had great hopes for Luo Yan's trip, otherwise he wouldn't have handed over the "As I am here" sign to Luo Yan.

Who knew that something like this would happen after going out in March and May.

With a sound of "snap", Li Shimin angrily threw a memorial to the ground, followed by Li Shimin's roar: "This Luo Yan, what is he doing? Don't you know how much hope I have in him? You bastard. "

It's not that Li Shimin has never been angry in the Nuan Pavilion of the Tai Chi Hall.But in the past, most of them avoided the courtiers to vent their anger after being strongly attacked by Wei Zheng.

But now the memorial of impeachment is openly smashed on the ground for Luo Yan.This made the serving servants a little embarrassed.Normally, whenever Li Shimin was provoked by Wei Zheng, Empress Changsun would magically appear within half a day.But now the matter in Yizhou is related to Li Ke, and the servants really don't know who to turn to.

However, the servants were in a dilemma for a while, and finally hoped for a savior.

With Du Ruhui's presence, Li Shimin finally stopped being sullen about being alone.He knew that because of saving lives, Du Ruhui and Luo Yan had always had a good relationship.So when the servant announced that Du Xiang was coming, Li Shimin immediately called him in.

Old foxes like Du Ruhui, seeing the lingering anger on Li Shimin's face, knew why he was angry. "Your Majesty, what Luo Yan did is not enough to make you so angry." Even though he said so, Du Ruhui was actually a little helpless in his heart.You said that boy Luo Yan, what did he eat to get his mind off, and he did such a bastard thing.

"Apart from this, what else can he do? Has he, Luo Yan, forgotten who he is? A majestic third-rank governor actually kneels down to a group of Guihua mountain barbarians. Where will I put my face? If I die this time How will the officials deal with his crimes in the future? Are they going to hang the common people on their necks?"

Li Shimin had to consider the situation of the officials.Even the governor of the third rank has knelt down to Shan Man, so the aristocratic families who think so highly of themselves, why don't they be even more arrogant?Then people in some places will become more arrogant in the future, and it will be a matter of time before they refuse to accept Wang Hua.

These words made Du Ruhui, who originally wanted to say something nice for Luo Yan, shut up.Indeed, without knowing the real situation in Yizhou, and without knowing how much Luo Yan's kneeling represents the disappearance of the flames of war and the naturalization of the barbarians, many people can indeed feel that court officials can bully them.

After a long silence, Du Ruhui let out a long sigh and said, "Your Majesty also knows that I came here today, and originally wanted to say something nice for him. If that's the case, Your Majesty will let him return to Beijing to await trial."

When Du Ruhui said this, he felt great regret in his heart.

Not only him, many people think Luo Yan is a talent.However, this time he really committed a taboo in the officialdom.Even with the great tolerance of Li Shimin and many senior officials, I am afraid that Luo Yan will be able to retain a title.

I'm afraid there is no hope in this life for being an official or something.

Riding a fast horse, he set off from the palace and rushed to Yizhou without anyone knowing.

At this time, Luo Yan, who was far away in Yizhou, was sitting in the Tianwei army camp, sitting with General Yang Fenwei, drinking sweet fruit wine.

"General Yang and the other generals have been of great help to appease the mountain man this time." Luo Yan raised his glass to Yang Fenwei, and then drank it down.

"Hey, what are you talking about, Governor Luo. You know, my Tianwei Army has not fought for three years. If this goes on, sooner or later I will get rusty. There are not many battles to be caught, but it also taught the soldiers under my command to know what life and death fight is. After all, I took advantage of it. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble in the back mountain, and I will suffer a lot."

What Yang Fenwei said was the truth.Three years of no war sounds good.But this means that the soldiers are slack and their armaments are somewhat slack.And those mountain barbarians who often plunder not only go down the mountain to rob and kill people, but also have experience fighting wild animals on the mountain. If things go on like this, if they fight again, many people will really die.

Luo Yan smiled, and continued: "Today, apart from thanking the general, I also want to visit His Highness the King of Wu. It was agreed that day to visit him every month. I don't want to be busy with government affairs, but it has been delayed for more than half a year."

Hearing this, Yang Fenwei laughed loudly: "Although Governor Luo broke his promise and became fat, Yang did not give up on him at all. Seeing that person now, I am afraid that Governor Luo will be shocked."

When Luo Yan heard this, he suddenly became curious.
