Governor please stay

Chapter 276 The Bloody Wedding

The house arrest of more than 30 days was lifted in one day without any transition or bargaining.

After Xiao Yan left, Xiao Yuzhen looked at Liu Yishou with complex and incomprehensible eyes, touched his flat belly, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Son, your father is really not an ordinary person!

Xiao Yuzhen sighed, she still feels that she can't see through Liu Yishou.

She didn't know what Xiao Yan talked with Liu Yishou in the study at the end.But what is certain is that the result must make Xiao Yan very satisfied.

If he is not satisfied, the house arrest may have to continue.

"Ah Lang, about the wedding..." Xiao Yujin hesitated to speak.

What she wanted to ask was, what if Xiao Yuyao didn't make trouble and just married Liu Yishou honestly?Could it be that he was wronged to be a concubine like this?
It's not that Xiao Yuzhen can't bear to be humble, after all, she's just a concubine.But it is absolutely impossible to give in to Xiao Yuyao, the person who murdered him.

What's more, now that she has Liu Yishou's flesh and blood in her belly, could it be that she has changed from a concubine to a concubine?

"If she can get married honestly, then she won't be Xiao Yuyao! Don't worry, I can settle it."

Liu Yishou couldn't help but sneered, and patted Xiao Yujin's hand, signaling her not to take it too seriously.

The deeds of that Yongxing Princess Xiao Yuyao really shouldn't be too awesome, there are so many flaws that Liu Yishou doesn't know where to start.

Forget about anything else, a major event that happened to Xiao Yuyao a few years ago can be said to have profoundly affected the situation of Liang Guo's clan!
Back then, Xiao Yan's younger brother Xiao Hong didn't know what he was thinking, anyway, he had committed adultery with Xiao Yuyao, and their affair was almost known to everyone in Jiankang.

Then, not knowing what Xiao Hong was thinking, he made a promise to Xiao Yuyao: as long as Xiao Yan could be killed, then he would be the emperor, and Xiao Yuyao would be made queen afterwards!
At that time, Xiao Yuyao was already a married woman. This incident was really a case of infidelity and incest, and it could be called a miracle in the clan scandals.

Anyone with an IQ above the level would not take the nonsense that Xiao Hong said seriously, but Xiao Yuyao took it seriously, and he did it sternly!The final result was also obvious, Xiao Yan was an emperor after all, how could he be easily assassinated?Their plan almost failed before it even got off the ground.

Of course, after that incident, Xiao Yan didn't pursue it, and really "forgive".However, this also made Xiao Yuyao ostracized and neglected by everyone in the family, especially Concubine Ding's line, that is, the recently deceased Prince Xiao Tong, the third prince Xiao Gang, and other people of the direct line were hostile!
Because the person who exposed Xiao Yuyao at the beginning was to inform Concubine Ding, the two are already in the same situation.

Now that Xiao Yuyao's heart has been distorted, and he is a man without a city, he dares to trust someone like Xiao Zhengde, and even tells Liu Yishou his plan and everything!

It can only be said that the world is full of wonders. I have never seen people with gold in their brains, and people with water in their brains can be found everywhere.

On the day of the wedding, all the Xiao clans that could be ranked would be there, Xiao Yuyao had such a good opportunity to catch them all, how could he give up?
Liu Yishou pondered over it carefully, and felt that with Xiao Yuyao's crazy character, he would definitely be the one to do it.Even if she can't succeed afterwards, being able to pull away a bunch of people as a backstop is wonderful for her.

Moreover, different from the national conditions of the Northern Wei Dynasty, most of the dignified figures in the Nanliang clan had private weapons, even Xiao Yuzheng was no exception.

These private armed forces ranged from a hundred to ten thousand. For example, in history, King Xiao Yi of Eastern Hunan had a private army of no less than ten thousand, and there were even strong generals such as Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin under his command.

As long as she does mental calculations without intention, Xiao Yuyao can also make waves, it depends on how she plays this game.With Xiao Yuyao's limited brain capacity, he probably couldn't think of a better opportunity than a wedding.

The reason why Xiao Yan agreed to this trick-or-treating plan was precisely because of his reluctance and fear of his deceased ex-wife, he had wanted to deal with Xiao Yuyao for a long time, but he couldn't do it.

This time, no matter whether Xiao Yuyao is getting married honestly or just messing around, he wants to settle it.People who are obsessed with Buddhist principles need to persuade most, not others, but themselves.

As for why the prince married the princess after his death, it can only be said that Xiao Yan was no stranger to such things as "happy funerals".The prince is dead and can't be revived, but if Huainan continues to quarrel, it will not only affect one or two people.Xiao Yan, my merciful Buddha, how could he be so poor?

Liu Yishou fell into deep thought, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xiao Yan was superstitious and contradictory, and it couldn't be more appropriate to describe it as a cocoon.

Xiao Yuzheng quietly watched Liu Yishou "in a daze", and didn't bother him, just stood aside obediently, as if time had frozen.

At this quiet moment, a familiar shout came from outside.Yuan Shikang was not there, Cui Jiong blocked people out, and it was none other than Liu Yishou's cheap cousin Xiao Zhengde.

"You avoid it first, I'll talk to Xiao Zhengde."

Liu Yishou said to Xiao Yujing, the latter bowed and then hid in the bedroom.

Cui Jiong let Xiao Zhengde in, and when he met Liu Yishou, his face was full of smiles, he held his hand affectionately and said excitedly, "I have no relatives in Jiankang, only my cousin is a relative. I haven't seen you for a few days, and I really miss him."

Seeing his enthusiasm, Xiao Zhengde heaved a sigh of relief, leaned over and said in a low voice, "We will talk in detail in the study, cousin, come out with me tomorrow."

Seeing how mysterious he was, Liu Yishou didn't know why, but he still led Xiao Zhengde to the study, and before he sat down, Xiao Zhengde said impatiently, "Cousin, we're going to pay tribute to the funeral tomorrow!"

Seeing Xiao Zhengde's elated look, Liu Yishou had no idea why he was so happy.

"Going to mourn the prince?"

Liu Yishou asked calmly.

Xiao Zhengde laughed loudly and said: "Where is the prince, the former prince, the late prince!" His tone was extremely disdainful, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.If you ask who in Jiankang City is most unhappy with the late prince Xiao Tong, Xiao Zhengde will definitely be ranked in the top five.

Even ranked first!

If there is no Xiao Tong, Xiao Zhengde might already be the prince, at least he thinks so. It can only be said that Xiao Tong was born at the right time, and his name is given high hopes, which is the so-called "inheriting the great line".

Xiao Zhengde was very helpless about this, and hated it extremely.Now that Xiao Tong died suddenly, Xiao Zhengde wanted to sing out loud!

Liu Yishou looked at Xiao Zhengde from top to bottom, and felt that if he went to pay his respects tomorrow, Xiao Zhengde would definitely be beaten to death by Xiao Yan for his foolishness!
"Uh, actually, it's okay if my cousin doesn't go."

Liu Yishou still kindly persuaded him, this "cousin" who is a bit ignorant can still shine if he keeps it, and it is not a good thing to rush to die so early.

"How can I do it if I don't go? If I don't go, I won't be able to get out of my chest."

Xiao Zhengde's face was distorted with excitement, and Liu Yishou secretly sighed, this guy is so happy and angry, he is really not a man for big things.

"Cousin, I think, the emperor will be here tomorrow, and he will definitely not be happy to see you happy now. Even if you rescue him, he will think that your motives are not pure. Why don't you go to Tongtai tomorrow? The temple prayed for blessings, and declared to the outside world that it was praying for the descendants of the prince.

As for the funeral, I'll just do it. "

Liu Yishou persuaded him from a different angle, if this guy takes him to the Prince's Mansion, people might think they are here to kick the court.It doesn't matter whether Xiao Zhengde is dead or not, but if he is implicated, wouldn't it be a big deal?
Hearing this, Xiao Zhengde rarely calmed down, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "The Son of Heaven believes in Buddhism, it is indeed possible for me to do this, then I will ask my cousin to go for a trip tomorrow, um, give me a good curse in my heart Let the people in their family help me out!

Xiao Tong has been the prince for so many years, which is enough! "Xiao Zhengde said bitterly.

Liu Yishou smiled and nodded, noncommittal, sighing secretly in his heart that the Xiao family is full of benevolent fathers and filial sons, Xiao Yan, the parent, education is really a failure.

After Xiao Zhengde left, Xiao Yujin heard that Liu Yishou was going to mourn the funeral, and also said that he would disguise himself as a servant and go with him, but Liu Yishou sternly refused.If Xiao Yuzheng's whereabouts were discovered, the consequences would be extremely serious, and no risk could be taken.Seeing Liu Yishou's insistence, Xiao Yuzhen had no choice but to give up.

……

Xiao Zhengde's going to the funeral is a nonsense, and Liu Yishou's going to the funeral is not a nonsense. The most important point is to show up in front of the Xiao clan and make the matter of "marrying Xiao Yuyao" clear.

With this foreshadowing, when the big wedding comes, it won't look obtrusive, and all these people can be invited to the wedding.In this way, Xiao Yuyao must also take action!

The next day, Liu Yishou went on the road alone, and after a little searching, he found the Prince's Mansion. The whole city was completely deserted, and crying could be heard everywhere.

Liu Yishou sighed in his heart, Xiao Tong has a good reputation among the people, it is difficult to expand the territory, but it is still possible to be a conservative master.

As long as a normal person is the emperor, there will definitely be no such thing as the Hou Jing Rebellion.

Arriving at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, Liu Yishou discovered that a middle-aged man in white silk and satin got off a gorgeous cart, and it turned out to be Yang Kan!

Almost at the same moment, Yang Kan also found Liu Yishou, shook his head slightly at him, pretended not to know him, and entered the prince's mansion.At this moment, there is a spiritual tablet in the lobby, and a group of monks are meditating and knocking on wooden fish to perform rituals.

The reason why Xiao Zhengde came today was because after the monks finished chanting sutras, they would raise the coffin and bury it.Liu Yishou handed over a greeting card to a young man in his eighteenth or nineteenth years who was in charge of the reception. The other party looked at him in a daze, and then said "thank you".

"Please grief."

Liu Yishou bowed according to the etiquette of others before, and stepped aside cautiously.Today he is just a little transparent, everyone's eyes are on Xiao Yan's side, among the group of monks chanting scriptures, the leader is Xiao Yan!

The white-haired man gave off the black-haired man, and even came to recite sutras in person, Liu Yishou felt weird, and didn't know what Xiao Yan was thinking at this moment.It was probably true that he was in great pain from the prince's sudden death, and it was probably true that he was helpless about the situation Liang Guo was facing now.

Soon after the chanting was over, the coffin-carrying team left, followed by members of the Xiao family. Liu Yishou and Yang Kan left quietly, and the two met secretly in Yang Kan's calf cart.

After sitting down, Liu Yishou noticed that Yang Kan seemed a little uncomfortable, and he asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, my father-in-law?"

Yang Kan glanced at him in surprise, and then sighed: "You are considered one of your own, let me tell you the truth, I am planning a big event recently, but, that..."

After saying a word, Yang Kan didn't know how to say it.

Liu Yishou looked at his embarrassment, sighed softly and said, "How much money does father-in-law want? What are you doing?"

"Really? No wonder Jiang'er is so devoted to you, you really..."

Yang Kan was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to describe it.

"Our ministry has just robbed Huainan not long ago, and it is estimated that a little money can still be leaked out now. If it is too late, it will be... hard to say."

Liu Yishou sighed, implying that Yang Kan should quickly tell what he did for everyone's reference.

"It's actually like this. Lan Qin is going to take over Xia Houkui's position and be transferred away from Jiankang. Therefore, there is a shortage of guards to protect the inner city of Jiankang. Now many people are staring at this position, but because it is too critical, no one can Don't believe it, so it's been left unresolved.

It's just that Lan Qin's transfer is a foregone conclusion, so I thought..."

What Yang Kan didn't say is already very clear, he also went for this "General Zhige".

Liu Yishou asked curiously: "General Lanqin Zhige did a good job, why was he transferred?"

Yang Kan looked around guiltily, leaned over and whispered in Liu Yishou's ear: "Lan Qin has a close relationship with the third prince, and used to check and balance the prince. Now that the prince is dead, the third prince is going to become the new prince. Lan Qin Can the emperor rest assured about the relationship with the third prince?"

I see!Liu Yishou somewhat understood why Lan Qin came to ask whether it was Xiao Gang or Xiao Huan that day. It was not because he had difficulty making a choice. In fact, he had already made a decision, but he really wanted others to agree with his judgment!

Xiao Yan's movements are also very quick, Lan Qin is still loyal and useful, but it is not suitable to be the commander of the imperial army!It is a matter of course to succeed Xia Houkui.

However, Xia Houkui had too close a connection with the aristocratic family, and he had changed from his status as a military general in the previous dynasty. It was impossible for Xiao Yan to let him serve as the leader of the Gyeonggi garrison.

At this time, Yang Kan, who came from the north, had no foundation in Jiankang City, but was capable of leading troops and fighting, appeared in Xiao Yan's candidate list.

Liu Yishou thought about it for a while, and found that Yang Kan's status was really suitable for this official, and the other party must go all out this time in order to gain a firm foothold in Jiankang.

Of course, Xiao Yan ignored government affairs, many things were decided by Zhu Yi, and then asked Xiao Yan whether he agreed or not.If Zhu Yi didn't even report Yang Kan's name at all, then this one would be out of the question.

"The 100 million money from last time, isn't it enough?"

Liu Yishou looked at Yang Kan in disbelief.

"Indeed, how about borrowing another million?" Yang Kan rubbed his hands and asked, looking at Liu Yishou eagerly.

Liu Yishou took off the jade pendant around his waist, handed it to Yang Kan, took out a handkerchief from his cuff, and wrote an IOU on it with charcoal.

"Take the jade pendant and the IOU to ask Chen Yuankang for money. Father-in-law, please take it easy, the landlord's house will have no food left."

Seeing Liu Yishou's boldness, Yang Kan was overjoyed, took his hand and asked in a low voice, "How about I let Jiang Er come to bed tonight?"

You bastard, use my woman to borrow money from me, and you'll get it cheap!
Liu Yishou got angry from his heart, suppressed his anger and shook his head and said, "No need, you will come back after all the money is gone, as long as it is a problem that can be solved by money, it is not a problem."
