Governor please stay

Liu Yishou made a gesture to Yang Xiuzhi while talking, and the latter retreated behind him knowingly, and stopped asking Xiao Huan to deal with He Chen.

Yang Xiuzhi understood very well that he only went out to interrupt the opponent's plan.In any case, it is most likely to cause accidents when a powerful minister enters the palace alone, especially at the moment of returning from victory.

No matter whether He Chen is testing or not, and Xiao Huan is harboring evil intentions, this trend cannot last forever.

Otherwise, something unexpected will happen in the future.

There are many examples in history of stumbled on similar things.Such as Zhao Gao, Han Xin, He Jin, Dong Zhuo, Er Zhurong, Hu Luguang, Aobai, etc., there are so many people that they cannot be counted with two hands.

Yang Xiuzhi's request to kill He Chen just now was just a bluff, the purpose was to attract attention, counter violence with violence, and let Liu Yishou jump out of the logical trap of "should we go to the banquet alone?"

If Liu Yishou refuted He Chen, it would appear that he was arrogant and did not take Xiao Huan seriously.If he followed He Chen's suggestion, he would not only fall into a passive position, but also be tested out of the bottom line by He Chen.

But following Yang Xiuzhi's advice, and beheading the emperor's confidantes because of a small conflict, Xiao Huan would not only be humiliated, but the world would think that Liu Yishou was narrow-minded and out of control.

Seeing He Chen retreating back to Xiao Huan angrily, Liu Yishou cupped his hands and said to Xiao Huan: "Your Majesty, although my aide's words are a bit vulgar, there is still a saying that is very reasonable.

The Son of Heaven is not just my nephew, and the Northern Expedition is not just your majesty's family business.

Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven for the people of the world, and shepherds and guards the people on behalf of Heaven.This is the righteousness, not the trivial.

Previously, Wang Shi's Northern Expedition eliminated cruelty and violence, and today's triumphant return is precisely for the joy of the whole world.If it's just a family banquet, and it's a bit petty to hide and celebrate quietly as if you've done something shameful.

I don't know if Your Majesty thinks what I said is unreasonable? "

Liu Yishou said with a smile, successfully changing the topic, a turmoil disappeared immediately.Everyone present, including He Chen, admired Liu Yishou's heart and quick decision.

His Royal Highness King Wu is really as slippery as a loach, impeccable in his words and deeds.

"What uncle said is very true, so what uncle means is to..."

Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and asked a little puzzled.

"Master Wang's triumphant return is naturally to be celebrated by the whole world, but it's not too early today.

Tomorrow, all the south gates of Taicheng will be opened, and water seats will be set up on both sides of the road into the city. How about inviting Jiankang and the surrounding folks to come and join us for the feast, and to celebrate the victory of the Northern Expedition for His Majesty?

The whole world celebrates, He Shizhong should have nothing to say now, right? "

Afraid that Xiao Huan would find excuses to refuse, Liu Yishou added: "The money for the running water banquet is the account of the Shang Shufu.

This time the Northern Expeditionary Army brought back from Luoyang a lot of people's fat and people's ointment that the thieves in Wei State had looted. After rewarding the three armies, they would turn them over to the state treasury.

Inviting the fathers and folks of Jiankang to have a meal can be regarded as taking from the people and using them for the people.What does His Majesty think? "

Can you still play like this?

For this sake, Xiao Huan couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.At this moment, He Chen didn't dare to jump out to object. Everyone around him looked happy, and he would offend everyone by refusing.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Huan nodded and said: "That's fine, I have fun with the people and go to a banquet together. I haven't experienced this before."

Arriving in front of Xiao Huan's driver, Liu Yishou waved his hand, signaling the driver on the driver to step back immediately.He bowed to Xiao Huan and said: "Your Majesty, please get in the car and let the ministers drive your majesty back to the palace."

The original function of the captain's son-in-law was to be the horse in charge of the auxiliary chariot.No matter how you look at it from any angle, Liu Yishou driving the emperor's chariot is reasonable, and it is not considered a deviant act.

Even He Chen couldn't say a word of objection.

However, Liu Yishou can take the initiative to drive for Xiao Huan, whether he is sincere or acting, this scene gives the feeling to outsiders that the monarch and his ministers get along with each other and are intimate.

Under such strong hints, the rumors such as "the king of Wu is going to abolish the king and stand on his own after returning from victory" will be self-defeating.

"Then I will trouble my uncle." Xiao Huan got on the imperial carriage with the help of the palace servants.

Liu Yishou gave Xiao Huan enough face, so it was naturally impossible for Xiao Huan to refuse such a proposal of giving him face.Escorted by [-] elite soldiers from the Northern Expedition, the group returned to Jiankang in a mighty manner. The whole team looked quite spectacular.

……

After a day of acting, Liu Yishou finally returned to his mansion on Jiming Mountain at nightfall.Ten thousand Northern Expeditionary troops took over the defense of Jiankang City, and the father-in-law Yang Kan consciously led the imperial army to station in Stone City, without embarrassing Liu Yishou.

Finally returning to his other courtyard, Liu Yishou saw that the light in the study room was still on, and felt warm in his heart.Every time he returns to Jiankang, Xiao Yuzheng will wait here for him to come back.

Liu Yishou knew that this princess of Liang Guo had a real affection for him, and her whole heart was on him.Politics, however, is relentless.One day, Liu Yishou would still want to take over the Xiao family's power. Thinking about it, he felt sorry for Xiao Yujin.

To some extent, this Princess Liang is also a typical blind person.Falling in love with a man who is good in every aspect, but wants to take over their family.

Liu Yishou never felt that he was indebted to anyone, even if he played with Gao Huan's first daughter, he still felt at ease and regarded himself as a winner.Only the guilt towards Xiao Yuzhen was irreparable.

"It's so late, why don't you go to rest."

Liu Yishou pushed open the study door and asked gently, and then saw Yang Jiang sitting at the desk flipping through the ledger without even looking up.The phrase "Why is it you" was choked back abruptly by Liu Yishou.

"Oh, you are back. If you don't come back, I don't know what to do."

Yang Jiang looked up at Liu Yishou, without any excitement on his face, but said tiredly: "My father wants to build a water pavilion at Yanziji by the Yangtze River to entertain guests. He just came to me to borrow money these days. Look. What should we do about this?"

"Borrow, borrow as much as he wants."

Liu Yishou waved his hands indifferently, and sat down beside Yang Jiang.

"Are you stupid for fighting the war? Our money didn't come from waves. I think my father is your woman. You marry him and go home."

Yang Jiang said angrily, and slapped a thick account book on Liu Yishou's face.

"It's okay, I robbed a lot of gold and silver from the north this time, just borrow it."

Liu Yishou smiled slightly, but didn't say anything.

Yang Kan uses greed for money and self-defilement as a cover, but in fact he is secretly helping Liu Yishou, keeping his face.Although Yang Kan hasn't told him what tricks he is doing in Yanziji, but he certainly won't be aimless.

"What's the matter, are you not happy to see me at all?"

Liu Yishou stretched out his hand to wrap Yangjiang's slender waist, kissed her cheek and asked.

"A lot of things happened during your expedition, alas. I really can't be happy."

Yang Jiang let out a long sigh and leaned his head on Liu Yishou's shoulder.

"Now there are rumors everywhere, saying that you want to rebel, and the teacher will change the dynasty after returning to the dynasty, which made our princess angry with a big belly."

"Pot belly disease?"

Liu Yishou was terrified, held Yang Jiang's hand tightly and asked, "What's going on, is it serious?"

Potbellar disease is schistosomiasis, which is almost incurable in this era.It would be a tragedy if Xiao Yujin got a big belly.

"Uh, the big stomach disease is... not long after you left, she became pregnant again, and now her belly is also big, so she didn't come to Jiankang this time."

Yang Jiang poked Liu Yishou's thigh with his finger and said in a friendly voice.She was just joking, she didn't expect Liu Yishou to be so nervous.

It was this.

Liu Yishou heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Yang Jiang helplessly.I can't beat my own woman, how can I clean it up?You can't take off your clothes and draw a turtle on your body, right?

"The situation in Jiankang is very bad now. I came to Jiankang this time because I was afraid that my father would lose his mind. I secretly saw a lot of people visiting in his mansion, all of which were to persuade him to launch a mutiny after you came back to get carried away. .

I have been waiting for you in Jiankang for several months. "

Yang Jiang suddenly said seriously.

"Actually, you don't need to do this step. Your father must know about those things, so don't take me for a fool."

Liu Yishou sighed, and gently kissed Yang Jiang on the forehead.

"Isn't it all because of fear? I feel relieved when I see you come back. Don't trust my father too much. For the sake of the family, he will do anything.

He still has the Yang family, but I only have you.If you are gone, our two disobedient brats will also be gone. What do you want me to do? "

Yang Jiang threw herself into Liu Yishou's arms and began to cry.

Liu Yishou took possession of Gao Ling by playing tricks, and didn't care whether the other party agreed or not.Even if Gao Ling disagreed, it didn't affect Liu Yishou to do what he wanted to do.

And Yang Jiang was always her own decision, Liu Yishou neither forced her nor tempted her.For a whole year, they respected each other like guests, and never made a move.

To a certain extent, after Yang Jiang understood Liu Yishou's character, she chose to be with him and have children.

"Don't worry, I'm back. You don't have to worry about these things anymore, I will take care of them."

Liu Yishou patted Yangjiang's back, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The family of the Southern Dynasties committed the same problem of infighting and experts. The situation of the country has just improved, and many people are worried that a strong monarch will be established, which will affect their vested interests.

Liu Yishou had confronted them many times before, which seriously violated the vested interests of these people.In terms of land acquisition, land acquisition, mountain occupation, land annexation, etc., they are almost in dire straits, and they are naturally hostile.

Putting aside all political stances, even if Liu Yishou is a big boss, he will kill the old families of the Southern Dynasty, distribute their interests to his own people, form his own ruling foundation, and complete the dynasty change.

So the problem is not actually how Liu Yishou is, but that the aristocratic family in the Southern Dynasties does not want to move forward, and is unwilling to actually sell their core interests.

And Liu Yishou had to move forward, he had to unify the world, and he was not satisfied with being an emperor in the south.

The two sides have different visions and different goals, so there is no agreement at all. One side can only kill the other side. There is really no second solution.

These people used to curse Liu Yishou to die on a woman's belly every day, but now they see that this guy is playing more and more smoothly in Liang Guo, his status is getting higher and higher, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger.

They didn't seem to expect Liu Yishou to fall naturally either.Now these people are privately contacting various military leaders in the south, preparing to make trouble under the table.

Of course they wouldn't jump out to be beaten normally, and they didn't dare to confront Liu Yishou head-on.However, once something like Liu Yishou's failure to lead the troops on the expedition happened, these people would jump out and sing the opposite.

They are still in contact with powerful factions like Yang Kan, Wei An, and Chen Baxian who have military power in their hands, and are preparing both positively and negatively.

"Ah Lang, how do you deal with these people? As long as they don't have soldiers, you can't do anything about them, right? Instead, they can speak ill of you everywhere, saying that you want to change the dynasty."

Yang Jiang asked with some concern.

"No, no, we are both athletes and referees. How could we not be able to beat them? If we can't beat them, then I might as well stop living. It would be better to hang myself in a cool place."

Liu Yishou said indifferently.

Now that he is in control of the Jiankang center, and he still has countless powerful soldiers in his hands, is he still afraid of those aristocratic families from the Southern Dynasty who are similar to fat pigs?

Have you heard the story of turning a deer into a horse?

Liu Yishou felt that these people looked down on him completely, and he was about to let those people know what the iron fist of a harmonious society is.

"Ah Lang, how are you going to deal with these? Just arrest them and put them in jail, and then confiscate their property?"

Yang Jiang, who was drowsy from looking at the account book before, suddenly became less sleepy, and asked curiously.

"What kind of eyes do you have! Don't look at me with such eyes, it makes me look like a street bully who bullies men and women. I have always done things fairly and openly. How could I arrest people casually?" !"

Seeing Yang Jiang's expression of "Brother, who shall we kill next", Liu Yishou was in a bad mood, which was a great contempt and insult to him.

With more than a thousand years of knowledge, he still needs to smash and loot all the way like Hou Jingzhi and his like?Do you look down on him too much?

"Ahem, it's like this. I am the King of Wu, so of course I have to lead by example, govern the country according to the law, and pick up the lawless. How can I know the law and break the law? Your dangerous thoughts are unacceptable."

Liu Yishou said with a dignified appearance, full of righteousness.

Chapter 528 The Iron Fist of Harmonious Society

On the second day, Yang Jiang, who had been tossed by Liu Yishou all night, put on men's clothes, pretended to be a servant, and followed the other party to participate in the flowing water banquet held at the gate of Jiankangtai City.

The flowing water mat extends from the place where the Taimiao is located to the north to the Da Sima Gate, forming a super large banquet area in the shape of "Hui".The meeting started early in the morning. Not only the soldiers and generals who participated in the Northern Expedition participated, but also the common people from all over the city of Jiankang were lucky enough to come here to have fun with the emperor. people dare not stay).

As for the civil and military officials in Jiankang Palace, there is no shortage of them.There are more than a thousand waiters serving the water table, which completely mobilized all the palace people in Jiankang Palace.

Such a grand occasion may only be comparable to when Xiao Yan invited monks from all over Liang to give lectures in Jiankang City.But at that time, monks were the only ones who joined in the fun, but now it is the common people in Jiankang City who eat the flowing water banquet here.

Not only Liu Yishou was satisfied with today's grand occasion, even Xiao Huan also tasted a bit of pride of "the king of the prosperous age".Not only did they enjoy the joy of returning from the Northern Expedition, but also dilute the tension caused by Liu Yishou's return with troops.

Even He Chen who participated in the running water banquet had to admit that in comparison, he was indeed narrow-minded.This guy Liu Yishou really knows how to play. He once ate a super-large-scale banquet, and now everyone knows that he, Liu, returned from the Northern Expedition victorious.

The "emperor's family banquet" that He Chen mentioned at the beginning, now looks more like a joke that can't be put on the stage.

I don't know if it was a burst of inspiration or premeditated, Liu Yishou also sent someone to pick out some good dishes from the flowing water banquet, and put them in the Taimiao to worship Xiao Yan.Although this behavior seemed extremely respectful, He Chen always felt that Liu Yishou was mocking maliciously.

The running water banquet, where the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, came to an end when night fell, and Liu Yishou did not make any movements for two consecutive days, which made some family members of the Southern Dynasty family who were worried gradually let go of their fear.

However, on the third day, a court meeting was held in Jiankang Palace, and Liu Yishou went to court as expected, and wrote a surprising memorial.

In the Taiji Hall of Jiankang Palace, Xiao Huan looked at Liu Yishou who came out of the queue with a puzzled face, and flipped through the memorial handed over by the palace man. He knew every word in it, but he didn't even know it. Know what the other party wants to do.

"Your Majesty, Liang Guo established the country for decades, and at the beginning it inherited the territory of the former Qi State, including the names and structures of the original prefectures and counties, all of which were directly inherited.

If a country is compared to a person, these things are like clothes with many patches, but they are barely worn on the body, and they are not comfortable at all.

In the past, the country was in decline, and I didn't have much energy to take care of similar things.But now that the Northern Expedition is successful, the country is invigorated, and the hearts of the people are united, it is precisely the time to deal with these long-standing disadvantages.

Therefore, I ask His Majesty for approval to change the original names of the prefectures and counties to their original names, and then rebuild the local governments and counties at all levels, reorganize the household registration, and reorganize the government affairs there inside and out!

Change it if you have it, and encourage it if you don't.

The list of overseas Chinese prefectures and counties that need to be renamed and rectified has been listed at the end of the memorial, please Your Majesty to decide. "

Liu Yishou came out, and after saluting, he spoke eloquently.The list of overseas Chinese prefectures and counties is dozens of large, and the scale is really not small.

The officials present at the court meeting were completely dumbfounded. Except for Liu Yishou's "inners" such as Chen Yuankang and Cui Xian, the other courtiers, whether they were neutral or secretly connected with the family of the Southern Dynasty, did not expect Liu Yishou to return to Jiankang. The first fire that was burned was actually the name change of Qiao Zhizhou County!
