Governor please stay

Xiao Gang was unmoved.Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there have been countless figures in the south like Liu Yishou who emptied the imperial power.From Huan Wen to Liu Yu, it can only be said that there have been ancients before and there will be comers after.

Liu Yishou is not the first to do this, but he will definitely not be the last.

"Now that Liu Yishou is in control of the Jiankang court, the general trend has come. To rejuvenate the country, why don't we lead our troops back to Wuxing first and then make a fuss about it." Xiao Ying calmly persuaded.

"That's all it takes."

Chen Baxian sighed, Liu Yishou's identity as son-in-law controlled Xiao Huan's regent, and also controlled the capital Jiankang.It's not bragging to rely on the emperor to make orders but not ministers, and to be able to do whatever you want.

He could already imagine how the idiots in Jiankang City were kneeling and licking Liu Yishou.

"Since that's the case, it's not too late. Let's bring our troops back to Wu Xing. On Hushu's side, I'm always uneasy."

Xiao Ying said with a sigh.He was really afraid that Liu Yishou would find excuses to deal with them. For example, leading troops away from the camp and staying around Jiankang for a long time to plot wrongdoing was a very good excuse that was irrefutable.

The world is fine, you led your troops to leave the county where you are, and wandered around in a small town near the capital, saying that you don't want to rebel?

"Xingguo, maybe Liu Yishou is trying to find fault now, so don't give him an excuse."

Xiao Gang also persuaded.

Jing'anhou is just Jing'anhou, he doesn't do what he wants anymore.

"The last general... let's make arrangements."

Chen Baxian cupped his hands and said, his tone was full of unwillingness.

……

On the Yangtze River, a fleet is traveling upstream from east to west.Almost every ship in the fleet was wounded, with holes in the sails, and the boats were leaking, looking very distressed.

In the cabin of the largest building among them, Xiangdong Wang Xiaoyi was staring at Wang Lin and Wang Sengbian in front of him with a fierce face, and asked in a bad tone: "The king's central army tent was attacked, why didn't you rescue us?"

"Your Highness, I will ensure His Royal Highness's escape route. If the fleet is gone, how can we return to Xiangzhou?"

Wang Lin said with a bitter face.

Three waves of people arrived at Xuanwu Lake one after another, but Wang Lin was very stubborn and waited until Xiao Yi himself was willing to leave Jiankang.If not, his head would have fallen by now.

But it is easy to leave Jiankang, but it is very difficult to go to Xiangzhou.When the fleet sailed to the Wuhu section of the Yangtze River, they encountered Wei An's navy, and the two sides fought in a dark battle.The morale fell to the bottom of the Xiangdong King's Navy, and only a few ships managed to escape the encirclement. The remaining warships either sank or were captured.

Now it can be said that the vitality is seriously injured, and it will not be relieved in a few years.

"Your Highness, there are not even one out of ten in the army. It's better to go back to Xiangzhou to reorganize the army first and then make a plan."

Wang Sengbian said calmly.

"How could Webster's navy be on the Yangtze River by such a coincidence?"

Xiao Yi crossed his arms and frowned, this was a question he couldn't figure out.What's more, why did Webster's people punch hard when they saw them as if they were a deadly enemy?

In the friction between the feudal towns, who would act recklessly?

If he hadn't seen the word "Wei" written on the opponent's sail, Xiao Yi would have thought that there were Liu Yishou's soldiers and horses there.

"Forget it, let's go back to Xiangzhou first and then make plans. Wang Lin, you take the remaining troops to guard Baling County, and continue training at Dongting Lake."

Xiao Yi patted Wang Lin on the shoulder and said.

He was really dissatisfied that the other party didn't come to rescue him.But Wang Lin insisted on waiting until Xiao Yi arrived before leaving, which shows that this person is still available.Thanks to Wang Lin's alertness, her main force was not damaged.Otherwise, the group of them has already been captured by Webster.

In comparison, Wang Sengbian's running directly from Taicheng is a bit disrespectful.Xiao Yi secretly speculated in his heart that he would have to guard against Wang Seng's argument in the future.

……

After Liu Yishou's soldiers and horses took over the defense of Jiankang Outer City, they cleared up the bandits and defeated soldiers, and did nothing to ordinary people.Soon, this kingly army gained a firm foothold in the city.The situation that Xiao Gang secretly hoped for "everyone in Jiankang rejects Liu Yishou for usurping the throne" has never been seen.

Of course, this is only one aspect.On the other hand, Liu Yishou transferred Cui Xian to Taicheng, and set up a "Gendarmerie Law Enforcement Team" to specialize in picketing during Xiao Gang's administration, especially during Xiao Yi's siege of the city.

Among the rich and powerful families in Jiankang City, who has cooperated with Xiao Yi, who is hoarding and reselling food, and who is bullying men and women to run amok with the power of Xiao Yi or Xiao Gang of.

One is the other, and they are all investigated under the pretext of "dividing the clan" and "inciting rebellion".Based on the principle of "don't let a bad person go, but don't wrong a good person", Liu Yishou implemented the picket action of "prison first, then get off the crime".

You say you are not guilty?It doesn't matter, lock up and interrogate first, if you are not guilty, you will be released naturally.As for your property, they are all stolen goods, they must be seized first and then checked.

As for many people complaining about why they didn't clean up the vassals, but instead targeted the "innocents" in the city?The official explanation given by Liu Yishou is: the reason why the vassal kings brought their troops to Jiankang is that Xiao Gang ascended the throne because of his dishonorable name, and the second is that there are too many villains in Jiankang City, who constantly collude with foreign vassals. Wang, alienate family members.

Those vassal kings "returned when they lost their way", and the new emperor would naturally not raise the knife to face his own uncle.But those people in Jiankang City with ulterior motives can't talk about "family affection" with these people.

For a while, the inner city of Jiankangtai was calm, but the outer city was full of turmoil, with "military police" everywhere sealing up houses and arresting people.As for these things, most people in the city think: Hehe, it's none of my business!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Yishou's men are not vicious people, let alone search from house to house.Everyone looked down on the little mosquito meat, and they all stared at the big family.

Of course, there are still many people who think that Liu Yishou and the others are full of food, so naturally they will not come to harass those ordinary people.In fact, since the very beginning of this "hunting and arresting rebel" operation, many ordinary people have tipped off the government.

One is that these big households do a lot of evil on weekdays, and the other is that they hate others and laugh at others.If you have me or not, then I will report you, and you will end up with nothing. Although I don’t have much meat, I feel more at ease in my heart.

That night, in Liu Yishou's mansion on Jiming Mountain, all the trusted generals under his command gathered together to hold a celebration banquet.Including Mao Xi, Hu Luxian and others, everyone was present, and the atmosphere was so enthusiastic that it was about to explode.

"Ji Lun (Cui Xian's name), speak louder, tell them, we searched... er, how much money we collected!"

Liu Yishou took a sip of his wine and yelled at Cui Siam reeking of alcohol.

Everyone held their breath and remained silent.

Cui Xian is usually staid and steady, but the things he has experienced these days, as well as the money he has found, have made him completely restless.

"My lord, those money are enough to support our soldiers and horses for decades!"

As soon as this remark came out, the pan was fried in an instant.

"Say one more thing, whoever dares to rob in the city, I will withhold all his money!"

Liu Yishou slammed the table and said.

Since the money can be distributed in a safe and secure way, who would want to go to the city to rob without shame?Liu Yishou is honest in his work, and pays according to his merits, not whoever grabs it.

"It's so much fun to follow the master to do the facts. I suddenly became very popular with poetry, and I remembered a poem..."

Hu Sengyou was so drunk and overwhelmed with complacency that he wanted to recite poems to retaliate.Unexpectedly, Yang Xiuzhi interrupted him directly and said: "In this situation, my lord wants to compose a poem and inscribe it on the Guangyang Gate of Taicheng, so that people who enter and leave Taicheng can admire the demeanor of my lord."

The flattering king came out, and everyone fell silent, waiting for Liu Yishou to compose a poem and pretend to beep.

"The wind and rain turned pale and yellow in Zhongshan, and millions of soldiers crossed the river.

The tiger and the dragon beat the past, turning the world upside down and generous.

It is advisable to chase the poor with the courage of the left, but not to be the overlord.

If the sky is loving, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is vicissitudes. "

Liu Yishou blurted out without thinking.

After he finished reciting the poem, the people below were dumbfounded.The grandeur of the poem really overwhelmed them!

"Good! Great poem! Only a man as talented as the lord can compose such a poem!"

Yang Xiuzhi roared impassionedly and took the lead in applauding.Although he flattered the horse happily, he also expressed the aspirations of everyone.

After some lively flattery, Liu Yishou waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"When Xiao Gang left, many young women were left behind. Now many of them have not yet had children, and are young and beautiful. It would be a pity if they lived alone like this. What do you think?"

Liu Yishou looked around at the crowd and asked.

"The Lord has worked tirelessly throughout the day to lead us to the inheritance we have today, and we really need the care and care of those gentle and gentle women.

How about picking some favorites among those women, which can be considered a combination of work and rest. "

Yang Xiuzhi said calmly.

"Eh? You can't say that. The wives and concubines in the royal family are in harmony with each other and help each other, as close as sisters. If more people come in, there will inevitably be a gap between them, which is very ugly.

The king is usually busy with business, so he neglected them. If other people come in, wouldn't they have to keep the vacant room all the more?

I don't think it's better than this. Let's divide these women according to their military achievements, right? "

After Liu Yishou finished speaking, everyone looked at Yang Zhong.Yang Zhong's military exploits in this battle deserved to be number one, and no one could compete with him.Besides, there is only one wife in his family, and he doesn't even have a concubine room.

"My lord..." Yang Zhong cupped his hands and wanted to speak, but Liu Yishou "suddenly realized" and said: "It's agreed, at least five, if it is lower than this number, you don't even think about getting out of this room."

Having said all that for this sake, what else can Yang Zhong say?He had no choice but to bow his hands and said: "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, then the subordinates will be disrespectful."

"Others, everyone has a share. By the way, there are still many powerful families who will be questioned this time, and the women in the family can also join in."

Hearing this, everyone in the lobby smiled in bewilderment, without saying anything.

Liu Yishou turned his head and saw Hu Luxian who was also looking forward to behind him, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're still young, I'll make arrangements for you in a few years, let's forget about this wave."

Chapter 413 Political Correctness

At the beginning, those former central courtiers in Jiankang City were somewhat disapproving of Liu Yishou.After all, he was just a younger, more handsome Dong Zhuo who was also a son-in-law by the way.

Even if there are so many attributives in front, they are just from the feudal town, at most an enhanced version of Huan Wen.

However, they soon learned that this Liu Dudu is very powerful.

Liu Yishou hated putting a knife on someone's neck to force him to compromise.Therefore, in the name of Jiankang Center, he issued two government orders to deter those old bureaucrats in Jiankang City who were about to move.

The first decree: In view of the vassal lord's troubles this time, some people in the bureaucratic system in Jiankang City have plotted against the law, and the number is astonishing, which has caused the court to be stretched.

Therefore, the Jiankang Center will organize a special agency to conduct "reassessment" for all officials in Jiankang City, from the top to the bottom, in batches.

Specifically, it is to examine "business ability" and "loyalty", as well as whether there were any misdemeanors during the previous Jiankang siege.Any problem with any of these three will be dismissed and even punished.

The decree added that: the imperial court only selects people with "both ability and political integrity".For the sake of fairness, reports and feedback from all parties are accepted, and the information of the assessment officials is "published" on a special board outside the south gate of Taicheng City.

The first phase of inspection starts with the middle and high-level officials of the central court.The second phase is the high-level local officials in Jiankang area and surrounding areas, and the last phase is the low-level administrative staff.

As for the members of the clan who serve as officials, they do not participate in the assessment.

As soon as this decree came out, there was an uproar inside and outside Jiankang City.But under the prestige of the "Gendarmerie" to stop children from crying, no matter what their position is, they dare not express their position publicly.

The second decree is even more outrageous. In view of the catastrophe encountered in Jiankang City this time, many officials were killed, and many people had problems with their positions or abilities and needed to be cleared, so many positions were vacated.

Therefore, the Jiankang Center will make an exception to hold the "Ceremony of Recruiting Talents" to recruit talents from all over the country, regardless of civil or martial arts, background, or native place, and the duration will be half a year.

As long as you think you are talented, you can try it out, and once hired, you will be given an official position immediately.

Of course, the content and process of the exam, and what official positions will be awarded are kept secret.Liu Dudu himself came up with the questions and inspected them, and personally checked the selection, which was absolutely "fair and selfless".

Many people in Jiankang City, especially those from aristocratic families, expressed doubts and dissatisfaction with this.In fact, these people had already been cleared out of the central high-level when Xiao Yan came to power, and appointed a poor family like Zhu Yi.

However, the influence of the aristocratic family is still very strong in Liang Guo's officialdom. They basically control the local government affairs and the middle-level officials of the central government in various states and counties. In fact, they also want to control the grassroots.

Therefore, those hard and troublesome grassroots government affairs are actually still in the hands of the poor.

Liang Guo's officialdom is based on seniority, even if he doesn't do anything, he can be promoted step by step until he retires.They don't care about Liu Yishou's first decree. After all, once the emperor and the courtiers, you wash it once, and it's their people who replace it.

But the second article made those people a little dissatisfied.Of course, it's just dissatisfaction, and it hurts a little.To put it bluntly, this "talent promotion ceremony" is just a temporary policy, which will be canceled after half a year.

These aristocratic families sent people to contact Chen Yuankang, who was building a relationship with Kangla, and euphemistically hinted that Liu Yishou should not do anything wrong, and that everything is easy to discuss.It is common for the emperor to change his surname when the dynasties change, but a family is still a family after all, and it is made of iron.

To put it simply, as long as you don't break the rules, it's okay to send you up to be emperor.

Liu Yishou's reply was: You do what you want, it's not that the children of the aristocratic family are forbidden to participate in the talent show ceremony!Do you think you have too much money at home and want the gendarmerie to check it out?

Many people who lived on the other side of Bird Clothes Lane fell silent for a moment.

……

In Weiwei's mansion in Taicheng, Liu Yishou was drinking with Yang Kan in the study.Yang Kan "made meritorious service in guarding Taicheng". Wei Weiqing, who was appointed as one of the nine ministers, still served as General Zhige to control the Forbidden Army in Taicheng, but his powers were enlarged, and even the treasury of the Jiankang garrison could be managed.

"Thanks to you coming in time, those people around Xiao Gang, don't mention them."

Yang Kan sighed, the time when Xiao Yi sent troops to attack the city was almost the most difficult moment in his life.Why do I say this, because even though it was difficult before, I was surrounded by competent people, like giving orders.

Losing is nothing but inferior skills.

But when Xiao Gang was working under Xiao Gang's command, the opponent not only made foolish tricks, but also had pig teammates under him.It's the kind that kills people but doesn't pay for their lives.

"I heard that you released Xiao Lun and named him King Yuzhang. Does he have a personal grudge against you?"

Yang Kan picked up a chopstick dish, squinted his eyes and asked.He didn't understand Liu Yishou's operation.

"I'm also the one who married Xiao Yan's daughter, how could I kill his heir?"

Liu Yishou shook his head slightly, took a sip of his wine and said, "I can't do this kind of thing. Xiao Yujin treats me very well, and I can't make her feel sad."

Yang Kan sneered, with a mocking look on his face.

"Just blow it up, it's just doing Iho's business."

After finishing speaking, he sighed: "It's just that this road is not easy to walk, if it doesn't work, you will die."

"Now if I am disarmed and return to the fields, can I live the rest of my life in peace and stability?"
