Many people even pretend that there are no bandits in their territory, and they whitewash the peace in their reports to the country, forcibly pretending to be as usual.

As a result, the bandits' arrogance became increasingly high. In the Bohai Sea, Shandong, and Huainan, some bandit leaders even blatantly opened private halls next to the county government, levying taxes and exploiting the people.

The state-appointed officials turned a deaf ear to this.

In the end, he was discovered by the inspector and then became known.

but……

There are not many solutions to this in the court.

Because everyone knows who supports these bandits?

They are the local landlords, powerful men and nobles!

These people used this method to confuse the public and pushed these bandits to the front stage to sing on stage with the country.

Of course, it is impossible to tolerate such things at the national level.

The court had discussed many times that the plan to mobilize the army to go south, plow the courtyard and sweep the caves, and sweep the local area.

However, it is extremely difficult to implement.

Because in the political life of the Han Dynasty, the southeast area has always been a sensitive area.

Starting from Emperor Gao, Qilu is a potential slowdown of unstable and restlessness.

Not to mention the fact that when the Chu and Han dynasties were fighting for hegemony, Confucian scholars from Lu stood by Xiang Yu, shaking flags and shouting, and even after Xiang Yu died, he even put mourning on him and showed the old story of loyalty to Xiang Yu.

Just that when the princes and ministers jointly executed Zhu Lu, and King Ai of Qi Liu Xiang made the greatest contribution and made the most efforts, but was ignored and could only return in depression, Qi Lu was always a major concern in Chang'an.

During the rebellion of the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu, the four kings of Qi, Liu Jianglu, Jiaodong, Jiaoxi and Jibei were all rebelled.

Back then, Master Yan recklessly forced Liu Jing, the last descendant of King Liu Fei of Qi, to death, which almost added fuel to the fire!

Until now, the isolation and unfamiliarity between Qi, Lu, Wu and Chu areas and Chang'an are still deep.

Local scholars and nobles were long-standing and disrespectful to Chang'an.

If the army is mobilized to move south, it is likely to stimulate their inner anti-Han sentiment and lead to civil war.

Therefore, Chang'an is also afraid of being a ruthless person.

It's a bit difficult to talk.

Zhang Yue was thinking about these things, but his heart was as clear as a mirror.

What does it mean to throw a mouse and avoid being afraid of weapons?

What does it mean to be afraid of civil war?

He just doesn't take responsibility and refuses to take responsibility.

What kind of virtue are the literati and officials in Qilu?

Zhang Yue doesn’t know yet?!

As long as the army goes south, one or two shrinks faster than anyone else!

Their predecessors and descendants have performed countless similar dramas in history.

These slags are just a waste of money!

But this is difficult.

Zhang Yue knew that the think tanks around the emperor might have thought of what he could think of.

Then why not act?

I'm afraid there are other considerations and reasons.

"Maybe it's because of the lack of Chao Cuo..." Zhang Yue sighed in his heart.

Thinking back to the beginning, Chao Cuo pimples from the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu, benefiting the country, but he ended up being beaten in half.

Since then, there have been fewer and fewer people who are willing to consider the country first and then themselves like Chao Cuo.

There are more and more smart people.
