Governor please stay

Chapter 387 Don't pretend, it's a showdown

On the Jiming Mountain adjacent to Xuanwu Lake, a group of Liang Jun belonging to the Taicheng Forbidden Army System is patrolling.These people searched very carefully, not letting go of every plant and tree, as if they were looking for someone.

At this time, the mansion on the mountain that Xiao Yan bestowed upon Liu Yishou, which was the former Liu Song Jianping Palace, was empty like a ghost house.When the strong wind blows, the snow on the eaves shakes off, silently telling the desolation here.

"This is the son-in-law's mansion. Liu Yishou has not been convicted yet. If you break in rashly and offend him, you will inevitably be put on little shoes in the future."

Yang Kan, who led the team, said to the imperial army under his command: "Yangfu, Yangqiu, you two come with me, and the rest of you are here to guard and closely monitor the movements everywhere. If there is any situation, immediately send someone into the mansion to report to me. "

Yang Kan was very caring to prevent the imperial army under his command from entering the former Jianping King's mansion, which is actually a kind of political protection.After all, this is a case related to Xiao Yan's assassination, and the suspect Liu Yishou seems to be "absconding in fear of crime".

Whether it is caught or not, it is a troublesome matter, and ordinary people will be crushed if they get involved.

"General Xie Yang for your understanding, thank you." The lieutenant said very flatteringly. There is no fool who can live in Taicheng. Liu Yishou is the governor of the two Huaihe Rivers. He just dedicated the captive Xin Zuan to Xiao Yan. He has to go to assassinate Son of Heaven?With his ass, everyone knows that the prince Xiao Gang framed it!

In case Liu Yishou's tens of thousands of elite soldiers come to find fault, who can bear it?
Not only did the lieutenant general not patrol around the mansion, he brought his troops down Jiming Mountain instead.In short, it doesn't matter to me what happens in the future, Yang Kan can just carry it.The rivers and lakes are dangerous, and safety comes first.

After entering the former residence of King Jianping, Yang Kan said to his two sons Yang Yu and Yang Qiu: "Go and see if your brother-in-law is hiding here. After you find him, bring him to see me."

Yang Yu and Yang Qiu gloated at each other, with mysterious smiles on their faces, and began to search around the mansion.

After a while, Liu Yishou, who had already changed into a commoner clothes with patches on it, was brought into the study by Yang Kan's two sons with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Liu Yishou was safe and sound, Yang Kan waved his hand lightly, signaling his two bastards to get out quickly.

"How high-spirited you were in the past, why are you still in trouble today?"

After Yang Yu and Yang Qiu went out, Yang Kan couldn't help teasing.

"Longyou Shoal got caught in the shrimp scene, there's nothing I can do about it, alas."

Liu Yishou sighed, he only knew that the army in Jiankang City was hunting him everywhere, but he didn't know what happened.

"You stinky mouth..."

Yang Kan shook his head, too lazy to care about the other party's hint that he was the "Xiami", he lowered his voice and said: "The emperor was assassinated and died just after you left Jiankang Palace. Now the murderer admits that you did it, the prince and The central ministers pretended to be deaf and dumb, and just ordered you to be arrested and confronted.

In your opinion, should we go back to Taicheng or Shouyang? "

Yang Kan's question hit the nail on the head.

"At this point, it is impossible to go back to Taicheng. How can a man stand under a dangerous wall? The assassin is so rough, it must not be the prince Xiao Gang.

A palace man must not be able to bear the responsibility of assassinating the emperor, and I am the most convenient scapegoat. "

Liu Yishou snorted coldly, and then told Yang Kan all about Xiao Yan telling him that he was going to change the prince.At this time, returning to Taicheng to see Xiao Gang is courting death.

"It seems that the Son of Heaven's business is not secret, and someone preemptively strikes."

Yang Kan murmured, he also agreed with Liu Yishou's opinion, Xiao Gang may have the idea of ​​killing Xiao Yan, but directly in Taicheng with such a blatant knife, it is like writing "I kill the king and father" on his face.

Xiao Gang wanted to frame Liu Yishou, which showed that he was ill and went to the doctor in a hurry.There is another person behind the incident.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Yang Kan asked in a deep voice.His political literacy is much higher than that of ordinary generals, and he never hesitates when it is time to stand in line.

"According to the emperor's edict, go to Jingxiang to bring Xiao Huan and Xiao Xie to Shouyang, and give the imperial edict to King Qin!"

After being stabbed in the back, Liu Yishou was also very angry.No need to fight, others thought he was made of mud.

"Filial piety is commendable, but it's a pity, where is the will, show me?"

Yang Kan sneered and mocked, obviously, Liu Yishou did not have such a thing as a will. After all, no one would have thought that Xiao Yan would be assassinated in Xianyang Palace!
"Before the emperor has time to write, you can just treat me as empty talk. A man stands up to the sky and the earth, and the clean is cleared."

Liu Yishou is also a bachelor, anyway, this is the way it is, so what else can we do.

"The son of heaven keeps a hundred secrets, so it's going to be a big trouble."

Yang Kan sighed, knowing that the chaos in Liang Guo was about to start.

Xiao Gang, who cannot be cleared of the crime of killing his father, Liu Yishou, who cannot be cleared of the crime of killing the king, and Xiao Huan and Xiao Xi, who are supported by Xiao Yan but have no evidence, will not be mentioned.

Xiao Yi, who was ambitious in Xiangzhou and recruited troops everywhere, and Xiao Lun, who cursed Xiao Yan all day long and was about to die, and Xiao Xu, who was a bit confused and easily instigated by others, these were not easy-going lamps.

In addition to Xiao Ji who is far away in Yizhou, and a large number of Xiao clans in Liang State (the descendants of the Xiao Yan brothers), it is estimated that everyone wants to get a share.

What's more, those chiefs in Jiangzhou, Fujian and Zhejiang, Guangzhou, Nanyue and so on, which one is easy to talk to?

Although there are several "eldest sons" among these dwarfs, they do not have an absolute advantage in paper strength.Obviously, the chaos will never end in a short time.It is estimated that in the near future, calls for rebellion will bloom everywhere.

Yang Kan sighed helplessly:

"Although you are willing to serve King Qin, I think that helping the prince now can quickly stabilize the situation in Liang Guo. The current situation is already obvious. It is the prince sitting in charge of Jiankang and cutting down the feudal clan to deal with his brothers. .

After cleaning up his brothers, the others will accept him as the new emperor. "

What Yang Kan meant seemed to be to make the wrong mistake and help Xiao Gang up.

He still felt that Liu Yishou and Xiao Gang were actually tricked by someone.In fact, the trick that that person set up may not be very clever. It is more likely that Xiao Yan died by accident, just after Liu Yishou met Xiao Yan.

Otherwise, this poisonous snake is lurking beside Xiao Yan, and it will have a chance to make a move whenever it wants.

"The Son of Heaven has said that the throne will be passed on to Xiao Huan or Xiao Xie, in short, the descendants of Xiao Tong's lineage. The man keeps his word. If I take this job, I must complete it, that's all."

Liu Yishou said righteously, as for what he was thinking in his heart, no one except himself knew.

"understood."

Yang Kan nodded slightly and did not persuade him anymore, but lowered his voice and said: "There is no boat by the Xuanwu Lake. I will send your brother-in-law to pick you up at night and send you across the river to Jiangbei. Take care of yourself all the way and ask for blessings Bar."

The chaos has only just begun, and it is still too early for the Yang family to stand in line.Yang Kan obviously intends to continue serving as the Zhige general in Taicheng.

It's also a safe path, at least for now.

"By the way, father-in-law, how did you know I'm here?"

Liu Yishou thought that he didn't want to find a way to go out of the outer city, but returned to the inner city of Jiankang, which can be regarded as "reverse operation".If it is on the battlefield, similar actions can often turn the world around, it is definitely a "stroke of magic".

"A certain person always likes to use strange tricks, is bold and careful, and does not stick to one pattern. Now the outer city is under strict investigation, and there are rangers patrolling around Jiankang. Only the inner city is empty, and everyone thinks you have escaped from Jiankang. Since you If you can think of it, how can you judge that others can't think of it?"

Yang Kan said with some pride, this time he caught Liu Yishou right.

What is false is true, and what is true is false. I predicted your prediction.Liu Yishou suddenly realized, cupped his hands and said, "I've been taught."

"Okay, you can hide."

Yang Kan walked out of the study slowly, looked back at Liu Yishou, and said pointedly: "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, so don't rush ahead with your three-legged kung fu. The battle for the throne must be a life-and-death fight. Now you There is nothing to rely on, so think twice before acting."

Liu Yishou didn't say anything, and bowed to Yang Kan with his sleeves folded.

After Yang Kan left, Yuan Shikang sneaked in and said in a low voice, "My lord, is Yang Kan really trustworthy? The current situation is no different than before! We still have time to leave now."

Seeing Yuan Shikang's tall body but showing an abnormally nervous appearance, Liu Yishou felt a little funny.

"Do you know why we went out so many times, each time was safe and sound, but this time something happened?"

Liu Yishou asked with a slight smile.

Yuan Shikang looked confused, patted his head and said, "I really don't know about this!"

"Because you didn't say this time: If something happens, I will definitely protect the lord Zhou Quan. That's why something happened."

Liu Yishou couldn't help teasing and said.

"Uh, this..." Yuan Shikang was speechless, he just felt that Liu Yishou was really big-hearted, and he was still in the mood to make a joke at this juncture.

"Don't worry, Yang Kan can be trusted."

Can this be trusted?Yuan Shikang felt that Liu Yishou was quite wise in the past, but now he is a little naive.

"Xiao Yan is gone, Liang Guo is like a boiling pot, and it has become lively."

Liu Yishou sighed, Xiao Yan's death was too inopportune, at least, you can die after you get the military power of Henan Erzhou and place Xiao Xie and others in Jiankang!

Now it is impossible to honor the rewards given by Xiao Yan, but in order to win the hearts of many people in Liang Guo, he still needs to find Xiao Huan, Xiao Xie and others, and send troops to Jiankang "King Qin".

One can imagine the difficulty of traveling thousands of miles.

"Rest first, and then go at night."

Liu Yishou began to close his eyes and meditate.

……

Xiao Gang didn't look as calm as the situation showed.

After taking over the defense of Taicheng for the first time and reaching a consensus with Yang Kan, Xiao Gang still faced a series of problems, the biggest one being: how to prove to the courtiers that Xiao Yan's death had nothing to do with him nor.

The real murderer was that palace man. After insisting that he was not the murderer and that the regicide was Liu Yishou, he bit his tongue and killed himself. There is no proof!
It wasn't until then that Xiao Gang realized that he had been tricked, and that the ending was not much better than Liu Yishou who "fleeed in fear of crime".Because Liu Yishou, as a powerful feudal vassal of the two Huaihe Rivers, had no reason to do anything when he was meeting the emperor.

On the contrary, the Crown Prince's East Palace is next door to Jiankang Palace, just a stone's throw away.It seems logically more plausible for the prince to send someone to kill the king and father in a frenzy.

"For the current plan, how should we clean up the situation?"

In Xianyang Palace, Xiao Gang asked in a deep voice with a shocked expression on his face. Liu Jin, who had not yet recovered from the shock of Xiao Yan's assassination, said: "How will this king explain this to the courtiers? I am sure many people will I thought it was a palace change!"

Xiao Gang gritted his teeth, his complexion as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much about how things happened now. Only by ascending the throne quickly and shifting the focus can the crisis be resolved."

Liu Jin said very firmly.

Xiao Gang's eyes lit up, he grabbed Liu Jin's cuff and asked, "How should we deal with it?"

"A palace official cannot bear the charge of regicide. If no one instigates him, he would not be able to do such insane things. But once someone instigates him, others will guess that the person behind the scenes must be you, the crown prince.

Therefore, the one who killed the king can only be Liu Yishou, and only he can bear this charge. "

Liu Jin's face was a little grim, he knew that once this decision was made, it would definitely anger Liu Yishou, and even cause chaos in the two Huaihe Rivers!
However, if this is not the case, under the shadow of the crime of regicide, it may be hard to say how much support Xiao Gang can get from the courtiers.The lesser of two evils, Liu Yishou can only be wronged.

"It's just Yuanju (Liu Jin's name), it's not impossible to find out about this matter, there are all witnesses and material evidence, and there are also guards who saw it but were too late to stop it. Is it really appropriate for us to frame it like this?"

Xiao Gang asked with some uncertainty.

"How is the truth of the matter, is it important to the outside world?"

Liu Jin asked back with a cold face.

Xiao Gang was speechless for a moment.

In the whole incident, the least important thing is often the truth of the incident!What people need is only to "interpret" what happened according to their own interests.

For example, now, it is more important to let Liu Yishou take the blame, so the incident can be interpreted as Liu Yishou intends to rebel, so he entered the palace to assassinate Xiao Yan.

For others, if they wanted to deal with Xiao Gang, it would be interpreted as the prince usurping the throne and killing the king.

What is the truth of the matter, on the contrary, no one cares.The most realistic and absurd thing in the world is this.

"The most urgent task now is to take over the defense of Stone City. In addition, there is a forbidden army in the direction of Danyang, which is under the command of Xiao Zhengde. I'm afraid he may not give in.

You can order Lan Qin to be the leading general, lead troops to encircle the barracks of Danyang County, and remove Xiao Zhengde's military power.After stabilizing the situation in Jiankang, the funeral will be sent to the whole country. "

"But Jiangbei..."

Thinking of Liu Yishou's elite soldiers, Xiao Gang was a little worried.

"The lesser of two evils, please make a quick decision, Your Majesty!"

Liu Jin said sharply!

That's right, it's Your Majesty, not Your Highness, even the title has been changed.

"I know."

Xiao Gang nodded slightly, his momentum changed slightly.

"Arresting Liu Yishou is a top priority. If you catch him, you will be able to confirm the charges and disintegrate his activities in Shouyang. If the tiger returns to the mountain, it will be hard to predict what will happen later."

Liu Jin said sadly.

It has not been verified whether the other soldiers and horses of Liang State can fight.However, Liu Yishou's Lianghuai elite soldiers are brave and good at fighting, which has been proved many times.If possible, Liu Jin didn't want Xiao Gang to be his enemy.It's a pity that Xiao Yan was assassinated after Liu Yishou appeared in Xianyang Palace.

Time is also fate and fate, maybe this is God's will.

Liu Jin sighed softly, he was not as confident in his heart as he looked on the outside.
