Chapter 320 Big cleanup!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Youzhi said to Li Yan: "That's right, some people have indeed contacted the officers in the army in recent times. We have been paying attention to this matter and have also dealt with several officers who are trying to sell out the eliminated firearms."
"And during the period when His Highness was away, some government officials were not honest and tried to contact the troops at the garrison. We were already paying attention to these people." Shangguan Yi added at this time.
Li Yan's brows tightened even more, and he said, "Did you find out who is doing something behind your back?" After the three of them finished speaking, Li Yan's intuition was that this was completely the same as a political struggle of subversion.
"According to my short investigation, these people are not only from one side, but from several different forces. There is another thing Your Highness doesn't know yet. Your Highness has married Hou Junji's beloved daughter." Su Mo'er said coldly.
Li Yan knew about Hou Junji. Although he had military talent, he was not very wild. Otherwise, he would not have been in a joint rebellion with Li Chengqian in history. Now Hou Junji is standing on the same boat as Li Chengqian, which gave Li Yan some premonition, as if the gears of history began to turn again, "It seems that Li Chengqian has an idea."
Su Mo'er continued: "Your Highness, they are not only having ideas, but are already reaching out to our Yizhou. The reason why these officers suddenly became so brave is because someone recruited them under the title of Prince and Hou Junji and promised to give them a higher position. I have also investigated these officers, and they are all people who are dissatisfied with their positions."
"It's true." Zhu Youzhi looked dim and said, "Some of the people inside are still students from our military university."
Qin Huaiyu was full of energy since entering the door. He and Li Yan came here all the way to witness everything in Yizhou. It can be said that they are in the same line as Li Yan. Now, there are people who are doing things on their own territory. How can he bear it? Now he can't help it when he hears this. He said, "Your Highness. Now Li Chengqian is relying on himself as the crown prince and the future crown prince to influence our Yizhou government affairs and army. Although Your Highness is the King of Shu, how can the King of Shu compare with the future emperor? With these rumors, some people naturally became interested in flattering him, the future emperor. I think it is very simple to solve this problem. Li Chengqian is nothing great. Your Highness is a hundred times better than him. As long as Your Highness ascends to the position of crown prince, these things are not a problem."
Qin Huaiyu's last few words fell, and the Political Consultative Palace was silent. All the officials looked at Li Yan, and no one scolded Qin Huaiyu for being rebellious and saying such words.
Li Yan was silent for a while, and his eyes swept across the faces of Zhu Youzhi, Shangguan Yi, Wang Yinlong. In their eyes, he saw an unprecedented light, and immediately, he understood. The minds of these people were the same as Qin Huaiyu, but they did not have the courage to say it out. Now Yizhou has the qualifications to compete for the world in both financial and military power, and Li Shimin is still nothing. But if Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne, they will definitely be unwilling to give up. In their hearts, Li Yan should have the position.
"Sit down. The position of crown prince was decided by the emperor. Can you just rob it if you say rob?" Li Yan glared at Qin Huaiyu and said.
"But your highness must fight!" Qin Huaiyu continued, but he sat down obediently in the face of Li Yan's eyes.
Li Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "The emperor and I both have their own qualities in this matter. You don't have to worry. Now we are still discussing the issue just now. Although I am not the prince, I am not someone who can be controlled by others. There is no need to show mercy to those who are doing things in Yizhou, and they will be killed without mercy."
"Yes, Your Highness!" A ray of light flashed in Su Mo'er's eyes, and then she said, "Is it the same for Luo Xiaoyi?"
Li Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Su Mo'er was definitely not aimless. It seemed that she was also a little surprised. She sighed deeply in her heart. Li Yan said, "You can handle this matter!"
Su Mo'er raised a smile on her lips and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will solve all these people as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Li Yan nodded, and then said to the officials, "And you don't have to worry about anything. I can assure you that Yizhou will always be my Yizhou, and no one can extend his power to our Yizhou."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Everyone bowed and stood up and said. They were relieved with Li Yan's words. After all, they followed Li Yan to seek glory and wealth for a lifetime.
Everyone dispersed, and only Li Yan and Su Mo'er in the Political Affairs Hall. At this time, Su Mo'er immediately took off his coldness when he was working and became gentle as water. He walked over and held Li Yan's hand and leaned in Li Yan's arms, saying, "Your Highness is so cruel. You have been leaving for four months. People miss your Highness every day."
Li Yan stroked Su Mo'er's long black hair and said, "I miss you too, by the way, you have found Luo Xiaoyi's trace?" When he came back last year, Li Yan asked the inner guard to go to Jiangling Wharf to investigate. Unexpectedly, Yuxiao Tower had already changed its owner, and he thought that the news must have leaked.
Su Mo'er raised her head, a little dissatisfied, and said, "Your Highness, are you still thinking about that Luo Xiaoyi in your heart?" She was already a little angry.
"No, it's almost five years, what's time to pass has passed. Speaking of which, she is also a pitiful person. I just hope you can save her life by then." Li Yan said.
"Well, okay." Su Mo'er's expression was slowing down and she said, "Your Highness, the princess is already pregnant with your flesh and blood."
"I got it, I came from the princess just now."
"I also want to get pregnant with Your Highness's flesh and blood." Su Mo'er's voice was like a mosquito at this time, but her eyes were as charming as silk.
Li Yan looked at Su Moer's charming look and immediately burned into flames. He closed the gate of the Political Affairs Hall, turned around and hugged Su Moer.
Su Mo'er panicked: "Your Highness, this is the Hall of Political Affairs!"
"Then let me be a foolish monarch." Li Yan said with a wicked smile
...
After receiving the order from Li Yan, the government affairs and military in Yizhou all came to a cleanup operation. The officials and officers who had contacted other forces during the period when Li Yan left Yizhou were quickly cleaned up and replaced with more loyal officials. This was undoubtedly a signal that Li Yan sent to the officials on the fiefdom. Eating in the bowl and watching the people in the pot would not have a good end. Li Yan was not a rude person.
In addition to the internal rectification in Yizhou, Su Mo'er's secret guards and Wuhou cooperated with each other to arrest all the detailed works on the grounds of doing business in Yizhou and tortured them. These works include not only Li Chengqian, but also some clans, and even many detailed works serving the northern grasslands. This cleanup operation also made major forces feel in a panic. In the past, Li Yan only monitored these works in real time, but now there is zero tolerance. Li Yan's sudden strength made them at a loss. They understood that the small actions in Yizhou during this period did make Li Yan angry.
In the East Palace of the Prince, Li Chengqian angrily smashed the best white porcelain teacup to the ground and said angrily: "What a Li Yan. He doesn't give me any face at all now. Even though he knows that these are merchants under my East Palace, he still arrested them all."
"His highness calmed down. No one expected that such a situation would happen. This time we had suffered heavy losses. Millions of money had been wasted, and no useful things were obtained." Du He also felt a little painful. In order to bribe these officers, they could use a lot of the savings of the Prince's Mansion.
Du He didn't say it, but the more he said it, Li Chengqian became more angry, and said, "Don't you say that these things are done very well? Why did all these people get caught overnight?"
"This shows that the King of Shu also has a group of detailed works under his command, specializing in handling such matters." Hou Junji said that since he became a relative of Li Chengqian, Hou Junji has become the new counselor of the Prince's Mansion. This time, the plan to make the local army in Yizhou serve the Prince was planned by him, but he did not expect that it would end in failure. (To be continued...)
