Governor please stay

Sincerity is not empty talk, it must be conveyed by interests.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. When I return to Jiankang to meet the emperor, I will definitely tell my brother-in-law's credit. Anyone in the two Huaihe Rivers is fine, but I can't live without my brother-in-law. This king can only say so much to the emperor. What the emperor wants to do is beyond the control of this king."

Xiao Ji didn't say anything to death, but he had been in Jiankang for the longest time, and he had never been out of town, so he actually knew Xiao Yan's temper best.As long as these words are brought to the table, Liu Yishou is the son-in-law again, and he is only in charge of the military forces in several states, so it's no big deal.

The land of the two Huaihe Rivers is for the able-bodied to exercise, and it is really not a piece of fat now.Knowing that Wei Jun is so ferocious, Xiao Ji himself no longer had that thought.

"Your Highness is very kind."

Liu Yishou smiled indifferently, and found that Xiao Ji was looking at him eagerly, knowing that the other party had really encountered a lot of setbacks this time, and his heart was quite short.

"The fate of Shu has been troubled since ancient times. The ancients often said: The world is settled but Shu is not yet settled. If the world is not in chaos, Shu will be in chaos first! For the country's long-term peace and stability, Shu needs a vassal king of the Xiao family to sit in the town, which is also what it should mean.

The land of Shu is rich in products, the folk customs are simple and honest, and there are natural dangers to block it, and it has its own system.Outside, there is no Wei Guo covetously, harassed by soldiers and horses, inside, there is no emperor who is always on call, with thorns on his back.

Wouldn't it be beautiful for your Highness to go to Shu? "

Wonderful!

Xiao Ji was overjoyed, why hadn't he thought about Shu before!He was going to ask Xiao Yan to place him in the Sanwu area, that is, Huzhou, Hangzhou and other places in Liu Yishou's previous life.

Safety over there is also safety, and abundance is also abundance, but this piece of meat is too fat to be swallowed, and there are too many people staring at it!

But Shu has no such problem at all, and ordinary people dare not petition the emperor that they want to guard Shu.Because that place has its own system, people with foreign surnames will not go the second way except to rebel.

It can be said that people with foreign surnames who proposed to Xiao Yan to guard the land of Shu are almost certain to die!

"However, if this king proposes to the emperor to conquer Shu, will the emperor agree?"

Xiao Ji asked suspiciously.

"Of course the Son of Heaven will not agree immediately. But His Highness only needs to repeatedly emphasize to the Son of Heaven that if you don't go to Sichuan, you can just study in the government office of Jiankang Mansion. The Son of Heaven will probably agree."

Liu Yishou said calmly, very confident, as if all this would happen as he said.

Princes who are not princes must go out to join the feudal clan, and are not allowed to stay in Jiankang for a long time. This is the rule set by Xiao Yan, without exception.What Xiao Yan is thinking about now is cultivating Buddhism, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Xiao Ji had the right intention to go out and become a feudal clan, and he stayed in Jiankang for a long time, which made Xiao Gang and the central ministers think that Xiao Yan was going to change the prince!So Xiao Ji proposed that he wanted to guard the land of Shu, and it is very likely that Xiao Yan would agree!

This time, the fierce battle of Qingxu in Huaibei made Xiao Yan know that Xiao Ji was not the material to lead soldiers. It seems that there is no big problem for such a son who can't lead soldiers, to lose Shu, isn't it?

It has to be said that Liu Yishou has already seen through Xiao Yan!Xiao Ji admired him in his heart, why didn't he see that his brother-in-law was so powerful before?

According to his thinking, this man can fight with his hard hand and save people with his soft hand. He is really a majestic core figure!

"Brother-in-law, we two should get closer in the future."

Xiao Ji held Liu Yishou's hands tightly, his eyes seemed to be shining brightly.At this moment, he had a vague delusion in his mind that if Xiao Yan was critically ill, he would let Liu Yishou lead his troops south to Jiankang in the name of his son-in-law to control the situation, and then he would lead his troops out of Sichuan, all the way east, to win food and follow him.

In the end, the prince was abolished in the name of Xiao Yan, and he was made the prince, and finally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor!Liu Yishou is really important!

"Brother-in-law is well-educated, talented in writing, diligent in military affairs, and invincible in battle. This king has a heartless request, and I ask my brother-in-law to agree, otherwise this king will kneel on the ground forever!"

Xiao Ji suddenly knelt down for Liu Yishou, his attitude was so firm that he couldn't pull him up.Liu Yishou and Yang Kan were dumbfounded, they didn't know what Xiao Ji was playing.

"Your Highness, please tell me that as long as it is not a big treason, there is nothing wrong with it."

Liu Yishou said softly and helped Xiao Ji up.

"This king has an unworthy son named Xiao Yuanzheng, who is very naughty. If this king goes to Sichuan, the people's livelihood there will be poor, and I am afraid that he will not be able to find a suitable gentleman to educate him. Moreover, he is about the same age as the eldest son Xiao Yuanzhao. , a compatriot from the same mother, the king is also afraid of the closure of Shu, and the two of them are brothers.

So I hope that my brother-in-law can take him with me to raise him and teach him his studies. "

Xiao Ji's words were sincere and determined.

This person, probably because of being captured, has a deep sense of powerlessness, so that the world view has been subverted, right?

Liu Yishou complained secretly in his heart, not knowing how to deal with this.Obviously, Xiao Ji has gone through a lot of hardships, and he no longer trusts the old way. What he wants now is to be the emperor.Only by becoming an emperor can the tragedy of being placed under house arrest be avoided.

If you can't be the prince, then rebel directly.Liu Yishou reckoned that Xiao Ji had "learned from the pain" and was already planning for the future, just like that big coin Xiao Yi.

Chapter 343 President Liang Guoxiao’s Personal Opinion IV

The war between Liang State and Wei State lasted for several months, or conflict. In the end, Liang State occupied Xiapi County and Donghai County, and Wei State withdrew from Beihai County. The border between the two countries temporarily formed a large area that neither side could directly control. The "power vacuum".

In order to "show sincerity", Gao Huan ordered people to release Xiao Ji, the eighth son of Xiao Yan who had been captured this time, and entrusted Sun Teng with full authority to negotiate peace with Liang Guo.The letter of credence was sent to Liang Guo, and Xiao Yan also said that this time the two countries fought each other, it was all a "misunderstanding".Ask He Chen who is staying in Xiapi to be in charge of contacting Wei Guo to discuss many follow-up matters.

Rumors like that Mrs. Han used it in exchange for Xiao Ji, those are all after-dinner conversations that are difficult to be refined.

In a word, neither Liang Guo nor Wei Guo admitted that such a thing happened.

"Boom!"

In April, spring thunder rumbled, lightning pierced the night sky, and heavy rain fell on the spire of the Golden Buddha Pavilion in Tongtai Temple.

This rain lasted for several days, and the water level of Xuanwu Lake in the north of Jiankang City rose a lot.

Inside the Golden Buddha Pavilion, Xiao Yan was still counting the beads and meditating, but with a calm smile on his face, he seemed to be much more relaxed.Sitting in front of him was Zhu Yi, who was still holding a thick stack of paper in his hand, and he didn't know what was written on it.

"Ah Ba is back, and a stone has fallen from my heart."

Xiao Yan sighed softly, apparently satisfied with Liu Yishou's prisoner exchange.Of course, it would be great if Xiao Zhengde and others could be replaced.But Xiao Yan also understands that what can't be obtained on the battlefield is even less available on the negotiating table.

"This time I was able to repel the Wei army, and it can be said that Concubine Liu has contributed a lot."

Zhu Yi said slowly.

In fact, he didn't want to sing praises to Liu Yishou, but Xiao Ji was supporting Liu Yishou, and Yang Kan was supporting Liu Yishou. Even He Chen, who had always been unimpressed by this person, wrote to the court, saying that this battle was "two generals Liu and Yang". Divide the work, and the rest are not worth mentioning."

With so many people clamoring, Zhu Yi had no choice but to suppress Liu Yishou.What's more, yesterday Liu Yishou sent a "special envoy", that is, Xiao Lun's former retainer, the famous assassin Dai Zigao, and brought him a jar of gold ingots and a straw rope.

This person has a gloomy temperament and is serious.He appeared in the bedroom in the middle of the night, scaring Zhu Yihun out of the house.Fortunately, the other party just came to deliver something, left Liu Yishou's letter behind and left.

In the letter, Liu Yishou thanked Zhu Yi for his support in the court, saying that a jar of gold ingots was trivial and not a respect, and did not mention at all what the straw rope was for.

Zhu Yi didn't sleep all night, trying to figure out what that grass rope symbolized, and felt that Liu Yishou was implying that if he dared to embarrass him in the court, then the future Liu Dudu would hang himself on the flagpole.

But if you think about it from a good point of view, this might not mean "to repay a kindness by forming a circle of weeds". If someone says you want to repay a kindness, but you want to think of the bad, who is wrong?

The criteria for judging are so vague that there is really no room for reasoning.

That's why Zhu Yi came to see Xiao Yan in the heavy rain today full of worries, wanting to finalize many matters related to the battle with Wei.

"National Treasure (name of He Chen) has always thought that my son-in-law has evil intentions, why did he speak up for him this time?"

Xiao Yan asked with a slight smile, he was very satisfied with Liu Yishou's performance this time.Among other things, if that person cooperates with Wei Jun to make trouble this time, I really don't know how much trouble it will cause.

He Chen is an upright person, this kind of person has an advantage, he won't open his eyes and talk nonsense.In this war with the Wei State, it was indeed Liu Yishou who tried his best to turn the tide.

He Chen was just telling the truth, and he was a bit "disregarding his deeds". You can't say that Liu Yishou, who repelled the Wei army this time, is a national traitor, right?

"He Chen is a direct minister. Concubine Liu's meritorious service is a public matter. His prejudice against Concubine Liu is a personal grudge. It is a great fortune for the country that He Guobao does not abolish the government for personal reasons. The emperor does not need to ponder too much."

Zhu Yi bowed deeply to Xiao Yan and said.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly in agreement.If He Chen speaks ill of Liu Yishou this time, he feels that this person cannot be reused in the future.Fang Zhen is domineering, and there are everywhere in Liang Guo, so it's not surprising.

For example, the Hao Chieftains in Jiangzhou, and the area south of Yuzhang County (Nanchang, Jiangxi), are basically dominated by the Hao Chieftains, and the imperial court only controls them in name.Over there, there were many rebellions, a small riot in three days, and a big riot in five days.

As for the land of Shu, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, this is even more so.

If you really want to figure it out, if something happens in Liang Guo in the future, Liu Yishou will be on the side of the "establishment faction", the kind who will be responsible for leading troops to counter the rebellion.

Because he is the brother-in-law of many princes, unless Liu Yishou loses his mind and plays out the banner to become the emperor himself, he is definitely the one everyone wants to win over.

In other words, if even he turned against him, then Liang Guo would already be fighting a civil war with several feudal lords, and there would be no real "rebels".Similar games have been played since Wang Dun in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and have been played until Xiao Yan came to power. For hundreds of years, it seems that the rules are similar.

"Yesterday I received a letter from Yang Kan, saying that the military and government in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River were corrupt, Fang Zhen was incompetent, and that they were passive in the early stage of the war because they did their own thing and did not belong to each other. Now that the state of Wei has changed, the situation in the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River also need to be adjusted. What do you think of the establishment?"

Xiao Yan opened his eyes, looked at Zhu Yi with cloudy eyes, and his voice was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Yang Kan's remarks are reasonable and reasonable, and unreasonable can also be said to be nonsense.

Everyone knew that the reason why they were passive in the early stage of this battle was precisely because the princes of the Xiao Clan were not good at leading troops and did not have a comprehensive plan. Even Xiao Yan's strategic deployment was very problematic.

But these reasons, Yang Kan did not mention a word, all the responsibility lies in the inability of Fangzhen in the Lianghuai area to dispatch and hinder each other.Anyway, it has nothing to do with Xiao Yan, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Ji and others!

This is what Xiao Yan likes to see, and it is also what Xiao Yan hopes to announce to the public.In a word, Yang Kan's letter was only to state the facts, not a single word was mentioned to delegate power to Liu Yishou.

However, inside and outside this memorial, it is said that the two Huaihe Rivers and Huaihe Rivers need to be dispatched by strong feudal vassals in order to resist the Wei State that has changed its day.

Xiao Yan still agrees with Yang Kan's words, at least, he can give an explanation to the inside and outside of the court, so as not to nail Xiao Ji and Xiao Zhengde to the pillar of shame.

"According to my opinion, it is better to let Yang Kan supervise the military forces in the two Huaihe Rivers, and add the governors of South Xuzhou and Qingzhou."

Zhu Yi said calmly, he was still suppressing Liu Yishou as much as possible, of course, he couldn't make it too obvious.

"You don't understand, you don't understand!"

Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "This is very inappropriate."

Xiao Yan's complexion turned from sunny to cloudy, and he was a little unhappy.Zhu Yi was bewildered and didn't know what made the old monk feel that something was wrong.Fortunately, he has served Xiao Yan for decades, and he knows the nature of Xiao Yan well.

Now that Xiao Yan has made up his mind, he doesn't need others to make up his mind for him. If Xiao Yan really didn't love power, then he would have abdicated a long time ago. If he is almost seventy and still not abdicated, is he really obsessed with Buddhism?

Xiao Yan just hoped that Zhu Yi could "guess" his own thoughts and express them through his mouth!

"The Yang family originated in Yanzhou and has a deep foundation. Since the Three Kingdoms, it has served in both the north and the south. If Yang Kan is ordered to govern the military forces of the two Huaihe Rivers and serve as the governor of the two states, good people will also become bad people. I can't harm loyal ministers." !"

Xiao Yan said with emotion.

Yang Kan's hometown is in Yanzhou, which is very close to Qingzhou in Liang State.Yang Kan is in charge of military affairs in that area, and has the support of a local family. Who knows what Yang Kan was thinking at that time?

Local officials cannot be born locally, this is a basic rule.Being an official for thousands of miles is only for food and clothing. The first half of this sentence refers to being an official in a different place.If you can eat and take cards, you can't collude with local tyrants.

Obviously, no one is more suitable than Yang Kan to manage military affairs in this area.Xiao Yan felt that Zhu Yi's mind was impure, so he couldn't help but beat him up.

"Yang Kan is capable and loyal to me, so he should be transferred back to Taicheng and stay in Taicheng. This time he also has military exploits, so he can get more official positions and reward land and wealth."

One sentence from Xiao Yan decided Yang Kan's future fate.Taishan Yang's Qingxu local head snake, one of the most famous, has great energy in the local area!No matter who is in power, they will not leave Yang Kan behind, that is simply encouraging defection or rebellion.

"Ji Wen (Zhu Yibiao), you have managed many government affairs in the court for decades, you must not lose your sense of justice."

Xiao Yan said with some dissatisfaction.

"The humble minister is guilty..."

Zhu Yi bent down and saluted Xiao Yan, lying on the ground and daring not to get up.

"Get up."

Xiao Yan sighed softly and said, "Yesterday Ah Ba (Xiao Ji) told me that Liu Yishou is capable of writing and martial arts, is good at dancing with long sleeves, and is my son-in-law. It is better to let him sit in Lianghuai than others. It is also impossible to take refuge in the State of Wei. I want to hand over the military affairs of the three counties of Xiapi, Donghai, and Beihai to this person, so that his defense areas will be connected as one, and the troops can be freely dispatched.

From now on, he will guard the north gate of Liang Kingdom for me, what do you think? "

This territory is huge, but it is also very dangerous, and it is in a war zone where Wei Guo is directly at war.To be honest, Xiao Yan was really afraid that if he would wake up one day, the territory would have been taken by Wei Guo if he handed it over to someone else.

Liu Yishou occupying this place can indeed be said to be a high position and authority, but if such capital wants to overthrow Liang Guo and rebel and become emperor, it is really far from it.

You don't need to think about anything else, just think about what happened to Yuan Shu in Huainan during the Three Kingdoms period.

Xiao Yan also doesn't think that Liu Yishou, who has become his son-in-law, needs to rely on rebellion to make a living. To put it bluntly, in terms of his ability, it is unnecessary.

"Your Majesty, you must not do it. Prince Consort Liu has a lot of elite soldiers, and there are even a cloud of powerful generals. If such a person wins the land of the three counties, it will be very difficult to control, and he will never lose his tail!"

Zhu Yi knelt on the ground and begged.

"Then how could it be, I don't believe he will rebel, why should he?"

Xiao Yan sneered, then waved his hand to signal Zhu Yi to stop talking.So many people said that Liu Yishou should just leave the Lianghuai area to Liu Yishou, and he could be regarded as "following public opinion" by doing so.

"Your Majesty, it's the same for the Seventh Prince (Xiao Yi) to guard."

Zhu Yi wanted to try one last time.

"If Ah Qi is guarding Qingxu, will he transfer his son-in-law to Xiangzhou (Changsha, Hunan)? Will he be willing?"

Xiao Yan asked with a smile.

Zhu Yi didn't answer, but Liu Yishou obviously refused.Hearing that the other party is doing a lot of construction in Shouyang, repairing water conservancy and so on, he made it clear that he would not move the place.

"If Ah Qi is guarding Qingxu, and the son-in-law does not move away from Shouyang, when the Wei army comes to attack, will Ah Qi listen to the son-in-law, or the son-in-law listen to Ah Qi?"

Xiao Yan asked another question that Zhu Yi couldn't answer.

After going around and around, everything returned to the starting point, back to the question mentioned in the memorial written by Yang Kan.The Wei army is strong, not weak as before.Although there are many counties in Lianghuai Prefecture, they cannot be without the support of strong feudal clans, just like a house cannot be without pillars!

After learning from the pain, Xiao Yan also agrees with this point, Lianghuai must have a powerful feudal clan who absolutely controls the situation, the question is, who is that person!

Zhu Yi had thought about many things, but Xiao Yan had been thinking about them earlier.

Liu Yishou has many elite soldiers under his command, and he is good at using them.If he is unwilling to take orders from others, then who can mobilize his troops?

If there is no Liu Yishou in the Lianghuai area, it will be like the opponent acquiescing not to send troops in the early stage of this war, leading to the collapse of the battle situation.It's hard to say that Liu Yishou didn't deliberately read Liang Jun's jokes, and when Xiao Ji and the others were beaten up by Wei Jun until his parents no longer knew each other, the other party would take action to clean up the situation.

Maybe Liu Yishou really thought so, but you just don't have evidence. After all, Liu Yishou took care of the situation in the end, and even Xiao Ji was brought back by Liu Yishou.What more can you say?
