Governor please stay

At this moment, an arrow shot from a distance hit the eye of the war horse under Ke Zhuhun's Tianyuan seat!The horse was hit hard by this, and it galloped frantically in other directions, and then fell to the ground!

The pursuers behind Gao Huan suddenly stopped, as if time had slowed down.

Then, another arrow shot through the helmet of a knight chasing Gao Huan, and his body fell limply to the ground.

From the dense forest in the southeast, a group of elite cavalry rushed out, and the leader was Duan Shao on a white horse!

"Xiaoxian! Help me!"

Gao Huan shouted at Duan Shao.

"King Gao, please go, the last general will be the last one!"

Duan Shao was unequivocal, leading the troops to cut off the chasing team at the waist, and had already lost Ke Zhuhuntianyuan's command, and the chasing team was killed by Duan Shao not long after.

Seeing that Gao Huan had already escaped, Duan Shao didn't want to fight, gathered his team and fought and left, but Zhu Huntianyuan's team didn't pursue anymore, they all returned to the village and county, and participated in the battle to encircle and wipe out the Han Rail Department.

Gao Huan returned to Xiangyuan City, still in shock, still sent people to inquire about Han Gui's news.But in the evening, Gao Huan got the news that the battle under the county seat was over, and it seemed that the entire army on his side was wiped out, either dead or captured.

And the entire township and county are on alert, and there is currently no opportunity for a sneak attack.

After Gao Huan learned of this, he was very remorseful, and in front of Duan Rong and others, he reprimanded Ke Zhu Huntian and others for their lack of faith. If this person is caught in the future, he must be sentenced to death to vent his hatred.

……

Xiao Yan's birthday is approaching again, as the nominal son-in-law, it is impossible not to express something.It's just that the glass giant Buddha was given away last year, but it can't be given away this year.

In the study of the mansion in Shouyang City, Liu Yishou had just persuaded the chattering girls to go to Jiankang City to go for a stroll, clutching his forehead in pain.

There is a joke that two women are equal to one hundred sparrows.There are so many women in my backyard that are equivalent to hundreds of sparrows. It is really difficult to coordinate with so many people talking to each other.

"There are too many wives, the lord seems to be very distressed."

Wang Wei, who was discussing with Liu Yishou in the study about the policy of granting land for military merit, laughed.

"really."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said, "Now they have all changed."

In the past, the girls in their own backyard at most had the body to make men have the urge to commit crimes, but now, they all want to commit crimes themselves!

Now every time Liu Yishou has intercourse, he has to take it seriously, like the 1V3 game he used to have, but now he can't even think about it.

It's just that you can't tell Wang Wei about these private matters.

The concubine system in the harem was indeed used to protect the emperor. Liu Yishou somewhat understood why Chen Yuankang only played widows and did not marry or take concubines.

"My lord, Xiao Zhengde asks to see you."

Just as Liu Yishou was thinking wildly, Shikang's voice came from outside the door.

Xiao Zhengde?

Liu Yishou and Wang Wei looked at each other, completely confused why this fellow came to Shouyang.

Asking Wang Wei to listen behind the screen, Liu Yishou ordered Yuan Shikang to lead Xiao Zhengde to sit in the study.

As soon as they met, Xiao Zhengde excitedly held Liu Yishou's hands and said: "Cousin, Xiao Yan has a big event to do in Jiankang, so I volunteered to come here, saying that I have to do something."

Confused, Liu Yishou had no idea what Xiao Zhengde wanted to do.

"Cousin, please tell me in detail."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

"The old monk Xiao Yan wants to become a monk at Tongtai Temple again, and then let the officials raise money to redeem him and return to the vulgar. This time, although my cousin is in Shouyang, he still has to pay. I am looking for my cousin Take money!"

Xiao Zhengde seemed to be somewhat complacent.

"Uh, how much does it cost?"

Liu Yishou frowned slightly and asked, sure enough, if he became a son-in-law, such a mess would be his turn.

"Those are not the key points. In fact, my cousin doesn't need to pay this money at all. I'm here today to discuss a major matter with my cousin."

Xiao Zhengde said with a mysterious face.

"Big thing? For example?"

"For example, killing Xiao Yan with poison!"

Xiao Zhengde stretched out his hand and wiped his neck.Wang Wei, who was hiding behind the screen, simply didn't know what to say.

Chapter 360 It's either a rebellion or a rebellion

To be honest, Wang Wei couldn't understand Xiao Zhengde's brain circuit.Of course, those outrageous things in the Xiao family, such as the incest between uncle and niece, and the son trying to kill his father, these and other strange things are not legends in the world.

If you can't understand it, you can't understand it, but you can't deny the existence of these things.

Xiao Zhengde was looking forward to killing Xiao Yan all day long, probably to the point of distorting human nature.

"Cousin, how can you be credible to talk about killing the king?"

Liu Yishou said in a deep voice that he had no interest in Xiao Zhengde's illogical clamor.

"Look at him, he doesn't look like an emperor! He pays homage to Buddha all day long, why doesn't he abdicate!"

As if being touched to a sore spot in his heart, Xiao Zhengde yelled with a ferocious face, as if he really didn't treat Liu Yishou as an outsider!

Xiao Yan has been the emperor for more than 30 years. It seems that no matter whether he is a nephew or a son, they all think that he has been in power for too long and life is too short. It is time to move his ass and create some opportunities for "young people".

"Cousin, let's not talk about whether we should poison the emperor or not. Let's talk about poisoning itself. I'm afraid it's very difficult to do. If it is deployed by force, it will definitely be settled by Qiuhou in the end.

The emperor didn't kill his cousin before, just because he still felt guilty about setting up the reserve back then.And since Xiao Tong is dead, the weight of that incident in the emperor's heart may have faded.Cousin is really sure that the emperor will tolerate again and again? "

Liu Yishou asked solemnly.

"Then what else can I do? It's hard to wait for an opportunity!"

Xiao Zhengde wailed, there seemed to be something hidden in it.

"Where is there any chance?" Liu Yishou asked suspiciously. Although Liang Guo is now decaying, Xiao Yan's rule is still very stable.

"My cousin doesn't know something, it's like this."

Xiao Zhengde recounted recent events.

Since the beginning of summer this year, some fortune-tellers and people from the Buddhist sect have been coming to his house, saying that the emperor is going to die this year, that Xiao Zhengde has the air of an emperor, and that he is going to be on the Ninth Five-Year Plan. To be in the position, you must first win the army from the north.

He almost pointed at Liu Yishou's nose and said that he was the only strong support Xiao Zhengde could rely on.

Originally, this kind of people who obviously want to stir up trouble and fear that the world will not be chaotic can just be sent away.However, Xiao Zhengde feels very good about himself, thinking that this wave is "fate is my destiny", but he is really thinking about rebellion.

Liu Yishou was almost pissed off by this Tie Hanhan.

After a little instigation by the fortune-teller, he wanted to kill the emperor with poison and take advantage of the chaos. I really don't know where Xiao Zhengde's confidence came from.

"Cousin, divination is illusory. In the dark, it has its own destiny. How can the words of a fortune teller be taken seriously?"

Liu Yishou really couldn't call Xiao Zhengde stupid, he didn't realize he was being sold out.He could only touch along the fur, hoping that the idiot Xiao Zhengde would not drag him into trouble.

"My cousin's words are wrong. Since I was a child, I have had a fortune teller who said that I have the emperor's order..."

Xiao Zhengde murmured, as if he didn't have any confidence in his heart.Because no matter how you look at it, since Xiao Tong became the prince, that position has become farther and farther away from him.Whether he is willing to admit it or not, he cannot change this cruel reality.

"Cousin should think about it. Those fortune-tellers probably took money to do things. They took money from other people to trick their cousin into rebellion. Then the identity of the person behind it and what their thoughts are, I can't guess the specifics, probably No matter what, I still have a little gain."

Liu Yishou sighed, Xiao Lun, Xiao Yi, and even every son of Xiao Yan was suspected.Because no matter whether Xiao Zhengde makes a move or not, it will be beneficial and harmless to them. Xiao Zhengde is the one who stands out. In the end, Xiao Yan dies, and Liang Guo is in chaos. Anyone who picks the peaches may be the last one, but Xiao Zhengde will not be the only one. What's up.

Xiao Zhengde, the iron man, came here this time, and the only fact that can be explained is: the infighting of Liang Guo's clan seems to be entering a new stage!In the past, everyone might have hoped that Xiao Yan would be able to establish a prince and succeed to the throne in a legitimate way.

Now they are all focused on eliminating competitors, waiting for Xiao Yan to die.Probably no one expected that the next Emperor Liang would succeed to the throne smoothly.

This time, if Xiao Zhengde poisoned the emperor at Xiao Yan's birthday banquet, and Liu Yishou raised his troops in Shouyang to respond, it would save a lot of trouble for the perpetrators.From this point of view, there is almost no need for evidence as to who is behind the scenes.

"Cousin, if you don't poison the emperor's birthday this time, I'm afraid something will happen too, and all the evidence and witnesses will point to you."

Liu Yishou sighed, he seemed to have seen the shadow of sword, light and sword hidden in Xiao Yan's birthday banquet this time.

Don't overestimate the brain circuits of these vassal kings. Back then, Xiao Yuyao colluded with Xiao Yan's younger brother Xiao Hong to rebel, and the plan of the two was so simple and naive as to be unbelievable!

"What do you mean, cousin? You mean someone will frame me?"

Xiao Zhengde is now recollecting it. Of course, this is in line with his due IQ.

"Obviously, this is the case. The emperor has been on the throne for more than 30 years, and many people have been impatient to wait."

Liu Yishou glanced at Xiao Zhengde, this one is really grateful to Xiao Yan for not abdicating.If not, when Xiao Tong succeeds to the throne, Xiao Zhengde will have no chance and no legitimacy at all.

Now it can be said that Xiao Yan planned to make Xiao Zhengde the crown prince.

"Cousin, you must save me!"

Xiao Zhengde said helplessly, his whole body panicked.

Just a moment ago, he was still plotting to kill Xiao Yan with poison, to make a fool out of the fire.Now that he finally realizes that he is being used by others, and there are still many conspiracies that have not been found out, he immediately loses his senses and looks like a waste.

Liu Yishou really didn't know what adjectives to use to describe Xiao Zhengde's personality.Maybe it's because Xiao Yan won the country so easily that if virtue doesn't match him, he must be blamed, and the entire clan will be useless.

The main reason is that this wave of "preparation for rebellion" may involve himself, so Liu Yishou couldn't help but secretly be vigilant.In the past, his strength was not strong, and he was a person from the north. In the eyes of some feudal lords, it was just a "muscle moss disease" and nothing to worry about.

But now he has commanded the defense line of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, holding heavy troops in his hands, and has become a force that cannot be ignored by all parties.Therefore, the strategy of first suppressing and then attracting is estimated to be staged from time to time.

After all, those vassal kings also have staff, and most of them will not be completely fooled like Xiao Zhengde who is completely brainless.

"Cousin, how much will it cost to redeem the emperor's abdication this time? How much will be apportioned to me?"

Liu Yishou asked with a blank expression.

Every time Xiao Yan is "redeemed", it is nominally a "national treasury".But anyone with a little brain knows that the national treasury is earmarked for special purposes, and in some places, if Qian Fangzhen is missing, they will directly rebel!

How could Xiao Yan use "state" money to redeem himself?

The ministers were fattened, the national treasury was damaged, and those officials who were full of fat didn't get rid of any hair. Thinking about it, I felt that the logic was completely illogical. No matter how mentally handicapped Xiao Yan was, he would not be so weak.

In fact, every time Xiao Yan was redeemed, the ministers raised money to redeem him in various ways.

On the one hand, Xiao Yan was testing the loyalty of the officials to him, on the other hand, he was using the money to cover the expenses of the clan and some of it was money for building Buddhist temples.Now, Liu Yishou, who has seen Xiao Yan's "apportionment" behavior, is really disgusted.

"Cousin, this time Xiao Yan became a monk, and the officials are required to raise [-] million iron coins. Cousin, let alone a few million."

Xiao Zhengde said with emotion.

It was he who volunteered to inform Liu Yishou, so the imperial court did not send officials to "collect" it, because he was also worried that Liu Yishou had a lot of troops on his side, so it was difficult to speak.

"Okay, I see. Cousin, go back to Jiankang first. I will find a way to get the iron money, or give something equivalent?"

Liu Yishou said with a smile, his face was a little stiff.For those who were on the horse, Xiao Yan slapped him on the head with a bamboo stick, it may be that he did not intend to test Fang Zhen.If you refuse, it will obviously increase Xiao Yan's suspicion.But if you don't refuse... these millions of dollars are not from Langshui!

After Xiao Zhengde said goodbye with gratitude, Wang Wei walked out of the screen with a strange face, looked at Liu Yishou and didn't know how to evaluate the series of weird behaviors of Xiao Liang's clan and the emperor.

"Millions of dollars, Xiao Yan is the lion's mouth, thanks to him daring to ask for it!"

Wang Wei said with emotion.Not only Liu Yishou, even he was stunned by Xiao Yan's actions.The royal family of Liang State extorted violently and extorted money, causing harm to one side.There are also superstitious Buddhist temples and evasion of taxes, resulting in a continuous decrease in the registered population.

The root causes of these problems are reflected in the finances, that is, the national treasury has been in deficit for years, inflation is serious, local tyrants are doing their own things, evading taxes, and hiding tenants.

No matter what Xiao Yan did, he was drinking poison to quench his thirst.

Those officials took out the money, should they look back and act as if nothing happened, what should they do?Obviously not, what was lost from Xiao Yan, they will do everything possible to get it back!Of course, it depends on the fish and meat people to get it back.

"Hearing that there is such a danger, is my lord going to celebrate Xiao Yan's birthday?"

Wang Wei asked with a sigh, in his opinion, he should not go this year at all.The incident with Xiao Zhengde was indeed very strange, and the traces of being guided by someone with a heart were too heavy.At that time, if there is no army around Jiankang, I am afraid that if Xiao Yan turns his back on him and puts Liu Yishou under house arrest, he will be so miserable that he will be speechless!

"My lord, do you still want to go?"

Wang Wei felt that he couldn't persuade him anymore.

"Many people assumed that I would not dare to go, so they made these operations in an attempt to fish in troubled waters. And once I show up in Jiankang, the rumors of colluding with Xiao Zhengde to rebel will be self-defeating.

It is safer to go than not to go.If he didn't go, it would be extremely difficult for Xiao Yan to cancel Fangzhen in a fit of anger, transfer troops and horses, break up and relocate the garrison. "

Liu Yishou was able to enjoy himself in Lianghuai. In addition to passing the test with his own hard power, Xiao Yan's endorsement at the national level also played an immeasurable role.

This made Gao Huan in the north dare not act rashly.

"Okay, since my lord is going, I won't persuade you anymore. But, how to make up for the shortfall of several million? Yang Min will probably resign by then!"

A few million iron coins are not a small amount, and all of these need to be distributed from the original finances, which can be said to have a great impact on the development of the territory!

In particular, Liu Yishou still wants to expand his military equipment in the past two years. Weapons, armor, and canned food are just what he needs. He can only say that he is lonely without money.Even if the money was used to raise chickens for Jia Sixie, it would be much better than giving it to Xiao Yan.

"Actually, I think it's good to send some equivalents out. Of course, these equivalents must be something we can produce, and they must be extremely profitable. There are things that are not yet available in Jiankang City but are in great demand.

Best, if you can link with Buddhism, you will be safe. "
