Governor please stay

"General Yang, Huainan is in chaos. This is beneficial and harmless to a general like you who is able to lead troops well. You know the relationship between my lord and daughter, and we will not harm you."

Chen Yuankang smiled meaningfully.

Yang Kan also smiled, but the smile was more forced.

"The Huainan Liang army defense atlas that General Yang gave us this time is very accurate, and it is very useful. General Yu Jin, in order to thank General Yang, specially sent people to send a lot of money seized by powerful families.

These are rich and unkind people who have done a lot of evil, General Yang doesn't need to worry about it, we are all doing harm for the people. "

Chen Yuankang was very good at talking, and even Yang Kan felt as if he had done a great thing after listening to it.

Seemingly aware of Yang Kan's concerns, Chen Yuankang went on to say: "My lord, only Qiao and Liang counties are needed, with Shouyang as the foundation. The emperor of Liang would have assigned these places to my lord.

Now our army's small test of strength is just a warning to Liang Guozhong not to mess around, and we will not occupy the current six counties. "

Yang Kan nodded slightly, accepting Chen Yuankang's statement.

If the other party's statement is true, then he sold the Liang Guojun aircraft just to expand his living space for his son-in-law and earn some money for himself.

Living in Jiankang is not easy, and it is really difficult to move an inch without money!This time, I asked someone to go to Yu Jin and his gang with Yang Jiang's IOU, and the harvest was far beyond expectations.More importantly, they are all prostitutes for nothing, so you don’t have to pay them back!

This kind of thing, Yang Kan almost wants to play again.However, Liang Jun's deployment map has been sold, and he has nothing to sell for the time being.Those things were prepared for Xiao Yan's appointment of him as Huainan Town, but Xiao Yan never expected him to leave him alone!Then don't blame him for using these things elsewhere!

What Chen Yuankang said was right, if Liu Yishou's men made a fuss in Huainan, his position would only be more stable!As for the life and death of those powerful families in Huainan, what does it have to do with someone else?

At most, Liang Guo is Xiao Yan's kindness to him, and those powerful families in Huainan are all competitors, right?

"Then thank you Mr. Chen, happy cooperation!"

Yang Kan picked up his wine glass and touched Chen Yuankang.Thinking of the gift list sent by Yu Jin, his heart seemed to be on fire.

Liu Yishou is really generous and straightforward, no wonder Yang Jiang is so devoted to him.Yang Kan has a personal experience.

Yang Jiang on the side looked at Yang Kan with contempt, and could only sigh silently.My father really can't play with my man, this feeling is really very subtle, it's hard to describe.

Chapter 266 When the tide recedes, it is clear at a glance who is swimming naked

"The prince's unfortunate death is really a sad thing!"

Liu Yishou said pretending to be sad.After he finished speaking, he stopped and looked at Lan Qin with burning eyes, the meaning behind his words could not be more obvious.

Your prince of Liang is finished, what does it have to do with me, a ruthless pigeon?After all, I'm not Xiao Yan's son-in-law, am I?

Liu Yishou knew very well in his heart that before the news of Xiao Yuheng's unmarried pregnancy got out, he had nothing to do with the Xiao clan and was purely an outsider.

As an outsider, is it necessary to pay so much attention to who is the Prince Liang?

"General Liu didn't know that the crown prince's sudden death had a huge impact! Let's not talk about other things, who is the next crown prince is the most critical and fatal thing. You should understand this truth very well."

Lan Chin dipped his finger into the wine glass, and wrote the word "Sun" on the table calmly.Of course, this "Sun" does not mean the person surnamed Sun, but the sons of Xiao Tong.

"General Lan is far-sighted."

Liu Yishou said with emotion.

"Long family and family, Lan can't be as free and easy as General Liu." Lan Qin said with a wry smile.

"So what? General Lan hasn't finished talking yet, right?"

"indeed."

Lan Qin nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "General Liu should understand the truth that once the emperor and the courtiers. The crown prince passed away unfortunately, who will be the next crown prince is related to the fate of Liang Guo in the next 20 years!"

What he said was so correct that Liu Yishou had no choice but to nod, with a mysterious smile on his face, which made Lan Qin puzzled.

"General Lan, let's continue, Liu is all ears."

"According to Liang Guo's etiquette law, the elders and younger are orderly. Those who have a descendant will establish a descendant, and those who have no descendant will establish an elder. The crown prince Xiao Tong and the third prince Xiao Gang are both descendants of the descendants of the same mother.

The eldest son of the late crown prince, Xiao Huan, is the eldest grandson, who is eighteen this year..."

Fearing that Liu Yishou might not understand, Lan Qin added: "It's about the same age as General Liu."

Now I understand!

Xiao Tong's son, Xiao Huan, has come of age this year.Liu Yishou was not much older than him, and he was already commanding the wind and rain with a heavy soldier in his hands. Who dared to say that at this age, he could be beaten and bullied?

Therefore, many people in the court persuaded Xiao Yan: Xiao Huan is not considered a child anymore, there is nothing wrong with becoming a prince!

But obviously, Xiao Yan, who is currently in grief, is not satisfied with his eldest grandson. He prefers his third son, Xiao Gang, who is also a descendant of the same mother as the dead prince.

Xiao Gang is 28 years old this year. In terms of age, he has more advantages than Xiao Huan.And more importantly, Xiao Gang has his own team, once he wants to succeed to the throne, he can quickly inherit power.

But Xiao Huan may not be able to inherit his father Xiao Tong's team!At least in terms of the stability of power transition, Xiao Huan is far inferior to Xiao Gang.

This is also easy to understand. For example, if Liu Yishou can't control the people under his opponent, then the gang in Huainan must have introduced a new leader!Instead of clamoring for Liang Guo to release him!

And controlling people's hearts is a very complicated thing. Grace, prestige, propriety, benevolence, and trust are all indispensable. It doesn't mean that people who are devoted to your father will also be devoted to you.

Lan Qin felt that talking to other people was playing the piano against the cow, but Liu Yishou must understand this truth.Just because this person can talk about Buddhism with Xiao Yan, and can hold Xiao Yan's head firmly, he knows that this young Liu Dudu in front of him has a good IQ and EQ, and he is born to do great things.

What's even more sad is that Liang Guo really can't see similar peers at present, so Lan Qin had to take the risk of asking for help.

Of course, based on what he knew about Liu Yishou, it was unlikely that the deal would come to fruition, and it was equally unlikely that the deal would fail.

"The Son of Heaven is already sixty-seven this year. The Crown Prince passed away early, and it is also possible to be disheartened. It is rare for people to reach seventy, so let me say something offensive, what will happen in three years?

In General Liu's opinion, is the third prince more capable, or the eldest grandson more reliable? "

Lan Qin asked in a low voice.

In fact, it is not to blame Lan Qin for saying this, nor is it because he has ulterior motives, but everyone lives in reality, and all ideals and loyalty are based on reality and interests, and cannot be castles in the air.

Xiao Yan was originally enthroned at the age of 30, and he has been in power for nearly [-] years, so it is time for him to abdicate.That's right, you don't have to withdraw, but what about your cronies?

If Xiao Yan died tomorrow due to excessive grief, can you say that it is a rare thing for a 67-year-old emperor to die?To put it bluntly, this age has exceeded the survival time of most emperors in history!

Imagine if Xiao Yan died tomorrow, what would happen to Lan Qin, a commander of the imperial army who relied solely on Xiao Yan?And Chen Qingzhi is also facing the same situation.

They didn't have the power of an intertwined family like the Xiahou family, and they didn't have the power to run wild in their hometown and cover the sky with one hand. If they take a step back, they will be doomed, and they will never be able to make a comeback!

Under such circumstances, how could Xiao Yan expect his cronies not to find new backers?

So the purpose of Lan Qin's visit today is very clear. He is discussing with Liu Yishou, or consulting, or persuasion.

Who will Liang Guo's next "backer" be?Who is the "new owner" who can keep the family safe for 20 years?Is it Xiao Gang, the third prince who is a compatriot with the late prince and his mother, or Xiao Huan, the eldest grandson?

In history, a certain founding emperor in the early Ming Dynasty also encountered this problem, and his choice was the eldest grandson!As a result, his uncle finally rebelled and seized the throne.

This is enough to show that Lan Chin's coming here today is by no means just wishful thinking!

"I've only come to Liang Kingdom not long ago. If I hadn't heard from you, General Lan, I wouldn't even know the name of my eldest grandson. Isn't it a bit abrupt for you to ask me this question? I'm actually just a prisoner."

Liu Yishou smiled slightly, but did not answer Lan Qin's question.

"Besides, I'm about to become a son-in-law. It's really inconvenient for me to participate in what General Lan said. Of course, I will keep my mouth shut and won't reveal anything to the outside world. General Lan can rest assured."

It's obviously not what Lan Qin wants for him to be so sloppy.

"Liu Dudu, it's not that Liang Guo can't spare his hands to deal with your department's rampage in Huainan. No matter how strong your department is, it can't compare to the Wei army's invasion of the south. Liang country can afford to be injured and lose, but the noble department can't afford to lose.

Now it's just that the imperial court is wary of this, thinking that after you marry the princess, you will be your own. Now it's just that your subordinates are out of control and mutiny. When you enter the camp alone, you can quell the war. They don't want to waste money and food. That's all.Such things, not to mention Liang Guo, but Song, Qi and even (Eastern) Jin in the previous dynasties, are countless, and everyone is used to it.

If Liu Dudu is willing to make Lan a friend, then Lan is also willing to say a few words for the governor in front of the emperor, for example, the governor is benevolent, righteous and trustworthy, and has no intention of harming Liang Guo.

As long as the governor can return to the camp, the rebels will naturally be able to submit.In this way, a military disaster was avoided, Liu Dudu did not lose, and the center looked good, didn't it? "

Lan Qin said with a needle in his face.

"The eldest grandson is the one who should succeed to the throne. It is absolutely reasonable for General Lan to support him."

Liu Yishou said slowly.

Lan Chin smiled, waiting for the "but."

Sure enough, Liu Yishou went on to say: "However, young people have experienced too little suffering, and they don't know the depth of people's hearts. Maybe the eldest grandson thinks that General Lan's support for him is a matter of course. If you are not loyal to him, you are rebellious. "

After saying this, Lan Qin's face suddenly changed color, and he took a deep breath to suppress his anger.Obviously, his coming here today is not groundless.

"It's no wonder that Dudu Liu was able to create a foundation at such a young age. Today, Lan finally understands what it means to be beyond others."

Lan Qin talked about the matter of sending someone from the prince's mansion to contact him, probably meaning very simple, I hope he can support the eldest grandson to take over the position of prince!The visitor's tone was very cold, not like a request but more like an order.

The Prince's House should be in a hurry, because Lan Qin felt the current direction of the court, and it was obviously biased towards the third prince.After all, in the orthodox etiquette, after the death of the crown prince, whether the next crown prince will be a grandson or a descendant of other princes has always been a "fuzzy zone".

Similar problems have occurred in many dynasties, and various rebellions have emerged one after another, all of which are part of the factors.

In other words, the ministers who support Xiao Gang now are by no means "rebellious". It is absolutely in accordance with the law of etiquette to make Xiao Gang the prince.Of course, if Xiao Gang was not a direct descendant, then it would be very problematic to support him. The court's public opinion trend would not support making a prince who was not a direct descendant a prince.

Generally speaking, in terms of etiquette, the eldest grandson Xiao Huan has a slight advantage over the third prince Xiao Gang, but it is not obvious.But in terms of personal power, Xiao Gang is an order of magnitude stronger than Xiao Huan!

"Actually, there is a way to calm the debate."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

Lan Qin knew that the main event was coming, so he couldn't help sitting upright, and said in a deep voice, "It's okay to speak, the governor."

"The emperor became a monk and worshiped the Buddha wholeheartedly. Passing the throne to the next one, no matter who it is, can quickly settle the dispute."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

Xiao Yan is a very strange person. You can say that he is in love with power and power, but he wants to become a monk instead of doing a proper job.You can say that he is dedicated to Buddha, but he will not abdicate, he insists on occupying the emperor's position and will not let go!

Master Huineng said that Xiao Yan's "heart is evil" and that he "could not rectify the Fa", he was indeed right.Which person who is sincerely devoted to Buddha can still occupy the position of emperor and not let go?

Liu Yishou can explain the principles of Buddhism clearly and logically, but he always thinks that he is a flower monk who can't give up his emotions and desires, and wants to be a ghost Buddha!

"I understand what you said, but...the emperor cannot abdicate, at least not now."

Xiao Yan is an extremely conceited person. In his eyes, no one in Liang Guo is more suitable to be emperor than himself.When he became emperor, he was benefiting all the people, that is, he was "cultivating merit".So his not abdicating is not because he is in love with power, so that his Buddha's mind can be straightened out and justified.

Obviously, Lan Qin knew very well what kind of person Xiao Yan was.

"General Nalan might as well reject the people in the prince's mansion, reprimand them severely, and say that he is always responsible to the emperor. Then he can send someone to find the third prince in private, and ask him to write some articles, poems, and reward you. Let’s make friends by writing.”

Liu Yishou winked at Lan Qin.

"Wonderful!"

Lan Qin slammed the table, looked back nervously, and finally heaved a sigh of relief and said: "Liu Dudu called today, and I will keep it in my heart. If there is an opportunity in the future, there will be good rewards."

"No, I have something I want General Lan to help with now."

Liu Yishou put away his smile and said seriously.

Lan Qin also sat up straight and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The matter of my marriage contract and the mutiny of soldiers in Huainan can all be resolved. But to show my sincerity, I invite the emperor to come here to talk with me personally, and I will definitely give him a satisfactory answer. This request is not too much Bar?"

He was imprisoned for a month for no reason, and even a clay figurine is somewhat angry. Liu Yishou can still speak calmly up to now, which is already very self-restraining.

Lan Qin nodded and said: "I will definitely bring the words, but the emperor is inexplicably sad now, and I can't guarantee whether I can listen to it."

"General Lan, just bring the words with you." Liu Yishou said, bowing his hands.

"That's natural." Lan Jing left.

After he left, Xiao Yuheng crawled out of the box and looked at Liu Yishou in astonishment.

"Look, your house is going to be a mess."

Liu Yishou spread his hands and said helplessly.

"This... ugh!"

Xiao Yuzheng sighed, she used to be a literary girl, now she is a literary young woman, she really has no idea about these intrigues and power issues.But even simple people can guess now that since the crown prince died suddenly, it is certain that the Liang country will fall into turmoil.

"That's all for the prince, what about our marriage?"

Xiao Yuzheng asked with some concern, how to "resurrect" her "dead person" is quite a setback.It can't be said that she has slept with a man here for more than a month, and even her stomach has been enlarged, right?

"Don't worry, after a while, after I play a game of changing people into living beings, we can go to Shouyang together. When you get there, you can rest assured to raise your baby."

Liu Yishou patted Xiao Yujin's hand and said.

"It has to be like this, alas!" Xiao Yuzhen suddenly felt that he was a little hasty.It's just that I didn't expect to be trapped for so long at the beginning, and the ecstasy and joy again and again have reached this point without knowing it.

"Don't worry, I said I will marry you, and I will definitely not break my promise."

Liu Yishou hugged Xiao Yujin's shoulders, and gently stroked her flat belly: "Even if you are willing, the person in your stomach will not be willing, will you?"

……

In the luxuriously furnished bedroom, sheep ginger walked around like ants on a hot pot, and sighed from time to time.Yang Kan stood at the door blocking his silly daughter from going out, watching her make a fuss in the bedroom.

"Father, I have to go back."
