Li Shiming looked at Wei Zheng calmly.
Other than Du Ruhui and Cheng Yaojin, everyone else was at a loss.
Wei Zheng lowered his head, sinking his mind to carefully savor Li Shimin's words. Even with his intelligence, he still couldn't understand the Emperor's meaning.
He put away his dissatisfaction with Li Shiming's indulgence, knelt down, and carefully bowed to Li Shiming.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject is stupid. Please tell me more about this matter.”
Li Shiming raised his hand and said,"Xuancheng, get up. Today I said to put down the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, so don't be so formal."”
Wei Zheng had no choice but to get up and sit on the chair. He glanced at the round table, picked up the wine cup, and drank it in one gulp. Then, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, I was too serious just now.”
"It's fine. It's just a small matter."
Li Shi Min smiled faintly, but his heart was filled with joy.
Usually, Wei Zheng would always go against him. Every time he remonstrated, he would make things difficult for him.
Finally, one day, I let Wei Zheng suffer!
It was all thanks to Lin Yuan's good plan!
"Your Majesty, what exactly is the method you mentioned just now?”Fang Xuanling asked, his heart itching.
Li Shi Min's general summary made him feel like he was looking at a flower in a fog.
Li Shi Min looked at everyone and asked,""Didn't you understand?"
Everyone nodded, including Du Ruhui and Cheng Yaojin.
Seeing this, Li Shi Min said generously,"In that case, I'll tell you in detail.”
At that moment, everyone sat upright, holding their breath and staring at Li Shiming.
They were like students waiting for classes to start.
"First of all, we need to know the fundamental contradiction in Yizhou. What exactly is it?"”
Fang Xuanling and the others subconsciously lowered their heads in thought. Soon, someone spoke.
"Cultural differences? A conflict of customs?"
"A drought?"
"Provincial Governor has no place to display his strength?"
Li Shi Min nodded slightly.
His ministers indeed had a certain understanding of the problems in Yizhou, even though they were still inferior to Lin Yuan.
However, it could also be seen that they were not really incapable.
Maybe it was because they looked at the problem from a different perspective.
Li Shiming continued," You are all right, especially the provincial governor. This is also why we have changed the provincial governor many times but still failed to solve the problem.”
"But we can't just not send the provincial governor and let them do as they please, right?”Fang Xuanling shook his head.
Li Shiming laughed,"We'll just let it go!"”
Everyone was shocked.
"Your Majesty, isn't this raising a tiger to invite disaster? Aren't you afraid that they will rebel?”Wei Zheng was puzzled.
"No, no."
Li Shi Min shook his head.
"Isn't there already a minority in Yizhou now that they're starting to control their own people?”
"Our imperial court will directly give them the authority of the indigenous leaders and set up the official position of chieftain. Then, according to the ethnic minorities, they will be divided into districts and counties, and the chieftain will manage the districts and counties.”
Zhangsun Wuji pondered for a moment and said,"Your Majesty, do you want them to fight as equals?" Internal friction?"
Li Shi Min's eyes lit up," Fearless said a little bit. However, it's not about the internal friction between different races. It's about the internal conflict between different races."”
The others were even more confused. How could they do this?
Li Shi Min saw that everyone was at a loss and felt a little pleased.
He didn't keep her in suspense and directly told her Lin Yuan's method.
"We first sent the auxiliary officials to help the chieftain on the pretext of helping with governance. In reality, we wanted the auxiliary officials to spread the values of the Great Tang among the natives.”
"Then we'll mobilize the army to suppress every province and county. First, we'll prevent a rebellion, and second, we'll deepen the people's impression of the Great Tang's strength!”
"Finally, we will let the chieftain enter the capital. First, we will reward him for his good governance. Then, we will give him power. The chieftain will get half of the local benefits!”
"In this way, the chieftain will crazily exploit the natives. The natives will resist, and the two sides will gradually turn against each other. At this time, the auxiliary officials will cooperate with the local Han people and take advantage of the situation to spread the good news of the Great Tang.”
"It won't be long before the chieftains are gradually sidelined, and the natives slowly assimilate into the Chinese. In the end, they will request to join our Great Tang!”
...
At this moment, Li Shi Min realized that the entire hall had fallen silent after he finished speaking.
Only the bubbling of the hotpot and the occasional crackling of the firewood could be heard.
Wei Zheng and the others were dumbfounded, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
After hearing Li Shiming's method, they felt a chill run down their spines.
His Majesty's move was simply a ruthless plan to end his descendants!
The way they looked at Li Shi Min changed.
Li Shiming had always been open-minded to the outsiders. Who would have thought that the Emperor's method today had nothing to do with being open-minded? It was vicious and ruthless!
At this moment, Du Ruhui clapped his hands and said loudly,"Wonderful! This move was really brilliant! For His Majesty to come up with this method was simply a stroke of genius!”
"Yeah!" Cheng Yaojin echoed. To be able to come up with this idea, His Majesty was indeed a dragon among men!”
The others immediately came back to their senses and started bragging.
Li Shi Min listened to everyone's flattery and felt very satisfied. However, he felt an endless emptiness. After all, it wasn't his idea.
Li Shi Min said with a lack of interest,"This matter is settled. Du Fang and Du Li will draft a specific plan for Zhen within three days!”
Li Shi Min waved his hand and left the palace.
When everyone saw this, they could only return to their homes.
Outside Tianmen Street, Fang Xuanling carefully recalled what had just happened. He had a trace of doubt in his heart. He looked at Du Ruhui and said,"Keming, don't you feel that the method His Majesty mentioned today is a little out of line with his conduct? Could it be that there's another expert behind His Majesty?"
