Governor please stay

The background of Hebei is too deep, and the large fertile soil created by the river network is full of people and fields.The devastating damage that Ge Rong caused in Hebei has now gradually subsided and shown strong vitality.

Gao Huan has a lot of stamina, and he must not be thought to have no potential just because his subordinates are not united.

"Well, the subordinates will remember what the master is about, and they will definitely arrange it."

Wang Wei said solemnly.

"Well, tomorrow I will set off for Jiankang."

Liu Yishou nodded and continued to look at the map on the wall.

……

The battle of Nanyang was won and a large area of ​​land was won. Perhaps the small people in Liang Guo did not know about such news.But in Jiankang and the surrounding areas, everyone from the emperor Xiao Huan to the Xiao clan, powerful families, and officials at all levels knew about it.

This afternoon, the south gate of Jiankangtai City was opened wide, and hundreds of officials lined up on both sides of Chidao.The emperor Xiao Huan stood beside Guangyang Gate in a red dragon robe, looking forward to it.

Not only is Xiao Huan here, even Xiao Xi, who has just moved to Danyang and whose mansion has not been fully repaired, has come here. Everyone is waiting for Liu Yishou to come to Jiankang. There are too many things to do. Liu Dudu, who controlled the military and political power of Liang Guo, was executed.

"Come, come, come!"

Xiao Huan's close servant whispered in his ear.

A simple carriage drove up, without gorgeous decorations, and without four wheels and eight horses. It was similar to a "bus" at the level of the county government.

If Liu Yishou had not informed in advance, they would not have thought that the person sitting here was Liu Yishou, the famous governor of the Liang Kingdom.

Xiao Huan suppressed the excitement in his heart and stood still.

Liu Yishou got out of the car slowly, walked over to Xiao Huan and saluted Xiao Huan with his sleeves folded, "I would like to report to your majesty, I have returned victorious from the Northern Expedition to Nanyang. Now the battle of Qingxu is still going on, and the elite soldiers under my command cannot go to Beijing to offer prisoners. Please return." Your Majesty forgives."

"Uncle is too polite, too polite!"

Xiao Huan held Liu Yishou's hands excitedly, and continued: "Uncle, I have already held a banquet in the palace to cleanse my uncle!"

"Speak well, please, Your Majesty."

When speaking, Xiao Xi also gave Liu Yishou a grateful look.Liu Yishou's political reputation is extremely good, and he almost promises everything he says.As long as the things promised, everything is promised.At the beginning, he agreed to Xiao Xie and dispatched him to Danyang in exchange for Xiao Xie's food and logistics support for his army during the Battle of Nanyang.

Afterwards, Xiao Xi became the "King of Danyang" with just a paper order, and his fief is only a short distance away from Gyeonggi.This incident has already spread in Jiankang. Regardless of whether it is Liu Yishou's political opponent or not, everyone is full of praise for Liu Yishou's skill and reputation in handling affairs.

Now that the Battle of Nanyang has been won, Xiao Xie has also fulfilled his wish and was enshrined near Gyeonggi, Xiao Yu entered Jiangling, and everything that Liu Yishou promised has been implemented. It can be said that it is a rare win-win situation among many political transactions in the Liang Kingdom.

Now many central courtiers are waiting for Liu Yishou's arrival outside Taicheng, which is obviously Xiao Xi's exemplary role.

Sure enough, when Liu Yishou and many courtiers came to Xianyang Palace, they saw that the place was filled with table after table.It was already piled high with cold dishes.

Once the table starts, the hot dishes will be served one after another. Basically, if Liu Yishou and the others take a bite, or even don't eat a bite, they will be removed and replaced with new dishes.

Meat eaters, that's how extravagant and ruthless they are!

Liu Yishou sat in front of the table closest to Xiao Huan's chief seat, and Xiao Xi was just opposite him. In addition, several people under Liu Yishou's command, such as Chen Yuankang, Cui Xian, etc., were present, even the commander of the imperial army, General Zhige Yang Kan , also seated in the hall.

When Xiao Yan held a banquet a few years ago, Zhu Yi was so beautiful, almost half of the court were his henchmen.But now these people have long since become dead bones in the grave.

It can be said that success or failure turns around!

"When I was in Nanyang, I was afraid that I would betray the trust of the emperor, and I was trembling all day. Now that I have returned to Jiankang after victory, I can finally give the emperor an explanation, and the stone in my heart has also fallen to the ground.

Come, congratulate the Son of Heaven with this cup!No matter how many military exploits I have made, it is inseparable from the trust of the emperor. "

Liu Yishou stood up, picked up his wine glass and said to Xiao Huan: "This glass is to the Son of Heaven, I wish the country a strong and prosperous country, and one day we will regain our homeland and rule the world."

With his toast, Xiao Huan finally realized the joy of being an emperor!He quickly got up, raised his wine glass and said, "Dudu Liu has worked hard!"

The atmosphere in the hall quickly became lively, with round after round of toasts.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Liu Yishou suddenly sighed deeply. When everyone in the hall saw him sigh, they immediately put away their smiles and put down the dishes in their hands.

Xiao Huan asked suspiciously: "I heard that our army won a complete victory in the battle of Nanyang, why is uncle sighing?"

"Your Majesty, to be honest, although the north is nominally the territory of the Yuan family, it is actually controlled by Gao Huan. During this battle, our army fought the enemy bravely, beheading Gao Huan's brother-in-law, Dou Tai, and shooting blind Gao Huan's eldest son. at a glance.

I heard Gao Huan vowed to take revenge on Liang Guo after learning about the battle.Now that Qingxu's battle is raging, Gao Huan is very likely to increase his troops to Qingxu.And the soldiers and horses under my command are all guarding Nanyang to prevent the Wei army from counterattacking. It is really powerless!

If Gao Huan increases his army, the consequences will be disastrous. "

While talking, he sighed bitterly, if he didn't know, he would have thought that Liu Yishou had suffered a big defeat before!

Xiao Huan knows neither government affairs nor military affairs, he is just a mascot, a symbol.Fortunately, Xiao Huan also has self-knowledge, and spends all day with those famous people recommended by Liu Yishou, dancing, writing, writing poems and painting, and his life is relaxed and comfortable.

Now Liu Yishou is reminding everyone of Qingxu's situation. Although Xiao Huan doesn't know what the other party wants, he knows how to deal with it.

"Uncle is the backbone of the country, and he is invincible. Now everyone is here, so you can raise any difficulties."

Xiao Huan said very freely, anyway, it wasn't him going to the battlefield, nor was he trying to pull him down from the throne.Liu Yishou is expanding the territory, no matter what his starting point is, it will not hinder the Xiao family's imperial power.

"It's like this. Webster's navy in Hefei is quite strong. It can patrol Yingshui and related rivers. I predict that the line east of Xuanhu may be the key area for Wei's raid. Webster's soldiers and horses can Settle here for defense."

Liu Yishou bluntly named Webster who was stationed in Hefei.

At this very moment, Wei An happened to be drinking and eating meat in the hall. After being called by Liu Yishou, he was stunned for a while, never expecting that a big cauldron would fall down on his head.

Xiao Huan looked at Wei An and said, "What do Governor Wei think?"

"Going back to the Son of Heaven, protecting the family and the land, is what it should be. As long as His Majesty's military order is sent to the barracks, he can follow the order to fight against the enemy, and I have nothing to say."

Wei An cupped his hands and said.

Now at the juncture of the banquet, Liu Yishou proposed to mobilize Webster's troops. If he refused, then the big hat of "only caring about self-interest and disregarding the country" would definitely be taken down in the future.

In any case, the present occasion had to be dealt with in the past.

"Uncle, do you think Dudu Wei's answer is okay?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the soldiers who fought for the front line."

Liu Yishou bowed his hands gratefully and said.

The atmosphere in the main hall is peaceful, a scene where the monarch and his ministers get along well.Liu Yishou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Huan still knew the current affairs, but Wei An's words just now were obviously just perfunctory.

It is only the beginning to allocate Liang Guo's resources for my use.

Liu Yishou secretly sighed in his heart, politics really is the art of compromise, everything is for winning!I'll be busy soon.

Chapter 459 Ducks open their eyes

On the first night in Jiankang, Liu Yishou found Chen Yuankang, and got some bad news.

During Chen Yuankang's half a year in Jiankang, apart from issuing the decree to control Taicheng, he also contacted people from all walks of life, closed relationships, and recruited talents with uncertain positions. The actions were not big, but they were ongoing.

However, the situation in Jiankang, or parts of Nanliang, is far more complicated than imagined.

Strength and power are sometimes not in the same dimension, so there is no need for direct comparison.A country is a collection of many forces, which differ in both size and dimension.

For example, since the Liu and Song Dynasties, various talented emperors have continued to "reform the accumulated disadvantages" and patched the dynasty one after another.

But unfortunately, usually the old patch becomes a new trouble, so a new patch is added to whitewash the peace.

Accumulated year after year, the structure and strength of the entire country have become fragmented and distorted.

For example, Wang Xie and other big clans in Wuyi Lane, from the Eastern Jin Dynasty covering the sky with one hand in the court hall, became a symbolic existence in the center of the court hall.A large number of key positions are occupied by the humble children promoted by Xiao Yan.

The most typical one is Zhu Yi, who was born in a poor family. Not only is his ability in governance strong, but his ability to embezzle and corrupt is also not inferior to the children of aristocratic families.These people are greedy on the bright side, their families are sparsely populated, and they have little influence in the local area.

Wang Xie and other big families are all loose officials in Jiankang City, and they are developing in the direction of "artists".They have nothing to be greedy, and they have nothing to be greedy. The money of the court is no more than their hands.

but!These people own large areas of land, lakes, mountains and rivers in places, especially those "overseas Chinese prefectures and counties" formed due to historical reasons, and there are thousands or even tens of thousands of tenants in any manor!

In other words, these aristocratic families in Jiankang really don't need to be greedy.Don't the descendants of the corrupt royal family in later generations think that they are "self-reliant" when they grow up?

Moreover, the aristocratic family represented by Wang Xie in Jiankang City still has a lot of influence among the local officials of various states and counties. They just broke up the power into pieces.

In the past six months, Chen Yuankang can be said to be very productive, or it can be said to have done nothing at all.He can win over some people, even the children of aristocratic families.

But these fragmented powers did not help Liu Yishou in any real way.To be honest, with so many people, it is better to have one Yang Kan.At least by pulling Yang Kan into the camp, Taicheng can be controlled!

"In short, the current situation is like this. Including the Langya Wang family and the Chen Jun Xie family, some of them have joined us, and it will not be of much use at all.

These people are not like the big clan in the north. The whole clan is united as one, managing the Wubao inside and commanding the army outside.They have been rotten to the root, and the problem is not just that people are not in harmony. "

Chen Yuankang sighed, and took out a box, which contained the personnel archives of Liu Yishou's side for the past six months.

All in all, Liang Guo is really seriously ill. It is easy for you to destroy this body, but it is even more difficult to revitalize it.

"Now that the situation in Jiankang and its surrounding areas has just stabilized, if the manors and lake villas of those aristocratic families are confiscated, it will easily cause panic. These people are not officials in the court, so naturally they will not cause any trouble. If we look too ugly , Some people are making trouble in places where the security is not complete.

The lord is going to confront Gao Huan now, if there is no national policy of breaking the earth, it is not easy to attack them now. "

In the study, Chen Yuankang poured Liu Yishou a glass of wine. This is the Shangshu Mansion in Taicheng. After Liu Yishou came to Jiankang, he didn't even go to his own mansion.

Liu Yishou originally hoped that Webster's troops would block the gap on the Henan side, and then extort a large amount of money and food from these aristocratic families for military supplies.In war, isn't it all about relying on money and food?

The big burden in Nanyang will only become a blood-making machine after a year.Now Liu Yishou is quite a little embarrassed.

"You mean, the group of people in Bird Clothes Lane can't squeeze any oil out, is that so?"

After Chen Yuankang talked for a long time, Liu Yishou finally understood.In fact, this kind of thing is also expected. Who made Liu Yishou refuse to be Hou Jing?If he were Hou Jing, he would kill and kill all the way from Shouyang, and how many aristocratic families and farms would be finished.

The current situation is that the local aristocratic family and the Jiankang aristocratic family are theoretically a family, but in fact they cannot be regarded as a strict family.

People from local aristocratic families have sufficient independence, especially economic independence, even in politics, they need the mediation and running of the Jiankang gang.

The children of the aristocratic families in Jiankang City are more like puppets elected by them to influence national policies in the court.If these puppets are in high positions, Liu Yishou can certainly threaten the children of the aristocratic families in those places from them.

But in the current situation, it should be seen that Xiao Yan had been vaccinated a long time ago, immunizing the members of these aristocratic families!

"It's true, it's as hard as heaven to extract oil without relying on imperial government orders.

Then, we can also learn from what Xia Houkui and his gang did back then.If you don't have soldiers, go to the countryside to tie some with rope, and if you don't have food, go to the countryside to take some carts and drag them back. In short, Xiao Yan knew these things back then.

If the protagonist wants to achieve great things, he must cherish his feathers. Such a thing that loses the hearts of the people cannot be done. "

Chen Yuankang said with a slight frown.

Everything needs to be done step by step.Before, Liu Yishou just wanted to use the big tree of Liang Guo to absorb more nutrients.So these rigid aristocratic families are beneficial and harmless to him.

However, now that they have entered Jiankang, the guests have become the masters, and these inactive and big families have become their own stumbling blocks.

This is the so-called "here and now".

"You are right. After repelling Gao Huan this time, we should really get rid of our bad habits. But unfortunately, now is not the time."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly, waiting for Chen Yuankang's next words.

Chen Yuankang is different from Wang Wei.Regardless of whether something was done or not, Wang Wei would report to Liu Yishou, no matter how big or small it was.And Chen Yuankang would never call Liu Yishou to discuss it before the matter was settled.

Being able to call him here means that there must be a solution to the matter.

"Chang You (Chen Yuankang) has something to say, and he can speak it directly."

Seeing that Chen Yuankang hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Yishou reminded him.

Hearing this, Chen Yuankang breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "Nowadays, inside and outside Jiankang, everyone is nostalgic for the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and the fertile land. Not many people want to restore the northern homeland. However, it is not without exceptions.

As far as I know, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Sikong, Yuan Ang, who is now at home, was born in the Yuan family of Chenjun, and his ancestors have four generations and three princes.

When Yuan Ang served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials and Sikong, he promoted many young talents, and now these people occupy high positions in the Jiankang court.

He died because the Emperor Xiao Huan and the Marquis of Jing'an Xiao Gang took the throne back then, and it is said that he had to retire because he supported Xiao Tong's lineage.He strongly recommended the lord to marry the Great Wall Princess.Therefore, both public and private, the lord should pay a visit this time.

If there is Yuan Ang's support, I can push the matter of land inspection in the Jiankang center.At that time, there is no need to really inspect the land, as long as the wind is released, it is enough to make the powerful families in those places become frightened.

When the time comes, the Lord will ask them to get some money and food to support the Qingxu front line, wouldn't it be easy? "

Hearing this, Liu Yishou's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood Chen Yuankang's plan.

It is true that Liu Yishou can forcibly overturn the order, but at that time many people will not understand the reason for this move, and they must think that Liu Yishou is eliminating dissidents!

There are also some people who are obstructing, and Liu Yishou doesn't have superhuman powers, and he doesn't have hundreds of pairs of eyes. How can you be sure that the policy will be good if it is carried out?

Maybe in many places, the land that should be cut off continues, and the land that shouldn't be cut off is randomly cut off!After doing the work for Yuan Ang, it is to remind Yuan Ang's disciples and old officials.

Your old chief and teacher have already agreed to this matter.Whoever wants to obey the law and disobey the law will be done by hanging on the Jiankang city wall. It is not a pity for such a person to die.

For many major events, as long as the gap is opened, the rest will be easier.

"Yuan Ang doesn't have any pretty daughters, does he?"

Liu Yishou asked almost subconsciously.

"No, no, this person has only two daughters, both of whom are over [-] years old. One of them has been married to Wang Gui of the Langya Wang family for many years and has a son Wang Bao. My lord, don't think too much."

Chen Yuankang said with a smile.

"Well, that's good. I wanted to go to Wuyi Lane before, but I was afraid that Wang Xie and the others would let their daughters play the piano and draw pictures for me, and then they would come into my arms. Do you think I want it or not? It’s not a happy thing.”
