Liu Ji, who was attending such an occasion for the first time, frowned slightly and didn't know what to say... and the men around him could only feel angry in vain after saying "Yang Yizhong should be beheaded".

Let's say the emperor wanted to gain control of the army by paying the soldiers, so the prime ministers naturally had a hard time saying anything. But didn't he just pay the officials yesterday and give them rewards? So this morning the emperor hurriedly skipped everything and went to pay the soldiers himself. Was he disgusted with the prime ministers for not treating everyone equally, or did he want to tell the soldiers that only he, the emperor, remembered the army outside the city?

It’s okay if you sell well yourself, but can you please not step on others to sell well?

"My Lords." Lan Gui hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up to explain. "Before he left, the Emperor had Scholar Xiaolin leave a few proposals on the imperial desk, asking you to make a decision early. When he returns, he will listen to your political discussions in front of the Emperor... I dare not act without permission, so please ask Prime Minister Lu to take them yourself."

The ministers had no choice but to suppress their anger and read the proposals. However, Lu Haowen picked up the first piece of paper on the table, turned it over, and felt overwhelmed... It turned out that the first piece of paper contained the word "Tuduan"!

The other ministers stepped forward and gasped, but none of them could say anything.

You should know that the term "Tuduan" was a policy of Liu Yu during the Southern Song Dynasty, which mainly refers to the reorganization of household registration in the Southern Dynasty's ruling area under the background of northerners migrating south at that time. At present, the west of Beijing has just been hit by war and there are many refugees. Not only that, looking at the overall situation since the Jingkang period, with the Huaihe River and Qinling Mountains as the boundary, many northerners have fled south, and in the short term, the Song Dynasty does not have the ability to recover lost territory.

At this time, the "local government" to resettle the people who fled to the north and south and register them in the household registration system became extremely important and urgent.

However, having said that, this matter is really too complicated, involving almost every aspect. With so many things to consider, how can we make a decision early?

But it's impossible to let this matter go.

With mixed feelings, Lu Haowen handed the heavy "Tu Duan" note in his hand to Xu Jingheng behind him, then picked up the second note. He felt a headache again, because it turned out that the words "Fan Qiong" were written on it.

Fan Qiong, Fan Qiong, these two names are too familiar to Xingzai. Since Emperor Zhao ascended the throne, Xingzai has been discussing this person, from Nanjing (Shangqiu in later generations) to Bozhou, from Bozhou to Shunchang Prefecture (Yingzhou, Fuyang in later generations), from Shunchang Prefecture to Bagua Mountain, and finally to Nanyang. There is no time to delay!

Fortunately, unlike in the past when people always argued about whether or not to deal with this person, this time, everyone had already reached a consensus that he must be killed and Xiangyang must be taken as a backup... Otherwise, not to mention how the southeast and Jingxiang can communicate effectively, let's just say that if the Jin people invaded the south and Nanyang was in danger, the government would have no way to retreat. What should they do then?

The fact that Emperor Zhao left this man's name at this time certainly did not mean that he wanted the ministers to discuss how to deal with him. Combined with what Emperor Zhao had said before at the foot of Fangcheng Mountain, it was obvious that he wanted everyone to discuss some auxiliary countermeasures to assist Emperor Zhao in going south to Xiangyang and eradicating this beast.

Only military and national affairs cannot be ignored by the ministers.

Lu Haowen handed the note to the Deputy Privy Councilor Wang Boyan behind him, and then continued to flip through the third note. He saw the word "Sun Mo" again, but he was already numb and directly handed the note to Liu Ji behind him.

By the way, Sun Mo was the governor of Yingchang Prefecture in the southwest of Beijing who had died at the hands of the Jin army. His case had nothing to do with the imperial court, but it was an important unsolved case, mystery, and public case in the local officialdom in western Beijing.

The story goes like this. Before the Jin invaded southward, the post of Tongpan of Yingchang Prefecture was vacant. At that time, Liu Ji sent a document to appoint Pei Zude, who was in mourning, as the Tongpan of Yingchang Prefecture. When the Jin invaded southward, Sun Mo, the prefect, quickly gathered his troops and asked Pei Zude to retreat to Yancheng, the southernmost city of Yingchang Prefecture, for defense. At the same time, he went to Yangdi to pick up his family. In response, Pei Zude defended Yancheng while impeaching Sun Mo for escaping for his own life!

Then, Wanyan Yinshu went south and killed Sun Mo directly in Yangdi, but unexpectedly did not touch Yancheng. Then Zongze heard the news and naturally recommended Pei Zude temporarily, letting him pretend to be in charge of the Secret Pavilion and know Yingchang Prefecture.

So far, it seems that the non-Qu Zhi is very obvious. Sun Mo is in a high position, but he cares about his family at a critical moment. Pei Zude is in charge of the overall situation as a Tongpan, which is obviously a higher level... and Pei Zude is recommended by Liu Ji and Zong Ze, the two most influential bigwigs in western Beijing.

Only Sun Mo chose to die for his country in the end, while Pei Zude survived, so there was nothing more to say.

However, the matter did not end there. Just after Wanyan Yinshuke withdrew from Yancheng, Sun Mo's family actually went to Liu Ji to complain with a document that Sun Mo had not sent before. According to this document, Pei Zude simply heard from others that the Jin people would not come, and then used this false news to deceive Sun Mo and coax him to go to Yangdi... If this is the case, then Pei Zude is a two-faced person, or even a shameless villain who deliberately wants to kill his boss with a borrowed knife!

This matter involved both Liu Ji and Zong Ze. It happened that the reputation of a deceased prefect was involved, causing a lot of discussion. Pei Zude's official position had also been stuck there. When discussing the vacancies in the west of Beijing this time, this matter could not be avoided... So the person who tied the bell must be found to untie it. Liu Ji had no choice but to take the note.

PS: I will post one chapter first, please don’t wait.
