Governor please stay

Chapter 389 Logic Ghosts
The prefect guarding Liyang in recent years was named Xiao Fan, who was Xiao Yan's nephew, Situ, and the son of Poyang Zhonglie King Xiao Hui.Xiao Hui is Xiao Yan's half-brother, and he was also the number one figure in Liang Guo back then.

It's a pity that Xiao Fan, who is in his 30s, does not behave like Xiao Zhengde, but he is not very talented. His life hobby is antique calligraphy and painting. There are many literati in the house, and he is a collector.But there is no one who is most useful under him.

As the new year is approaching, Xiao Fan, who originally planned to spend a peaceful and stable year in Liyang, suffered a head-on blow!
Xiao Yan was assassinated in Xianyang Palace. The suspect was Liu Yishou, who was in charge of the Lianghuai military forces. He is currently at large and is being hunted down.Jiankang has already had a funeral, so people from all tribes of the clan go to Jiankang to participate in the funeral.Those who do not go will be punished as treason.

People in various places who encountered Liu Yishou but did not report to him will be dealt with as fellow party members.Prince Xiao Gang's enthronement ceremony, the children of all clans must also come to attend, no leave of absence, no excuses.

Seeing these government orders, Xiao Fan felt chills all over his body.There are so many pitfalls that I don't know where to start.In short, the case of Xiao Yan's assassination is full of doubts, and the prince's suspicion is extremely high!
However, to Xiao Fan, this actually didn't matter much, anyway, he didn't want to be emperor, and it wasn't his turn to be emperor.

Xiao Fan was worried that if he went to Jiankang to attend Xiao Yan's funeral, would something unspeakable happen?Thinking about the things about Liu Song and Xiao Qi, Xiao Fan was a little worried that he would never return this time.

When Xiao Fan was hesitating and walking up and down the hall of the mansion, Pei Zhigao, the governor of Nanqiao Prefecture who was in charge of Liyang's military affairs, came to report that the imperial court had sent a team of forbidden troops, led by Chen Qingzhi's son Chen Xin The leader, came here to hunt down Liu Yishou and his party who fled in the direction of Liyang.

"Chen Xin is so arrogant and domineering, unlike his father."

Pei Zhigao said with a strange expression, he always felt that this matter was unusual.

"How many are they?"

"About 500 people. Judging by the establishment, it is indeed what Chen Xin can lead in an official position."

Pei Zhigao followed his father Pei Sui to fight in the north and south, and he had quite a lot of military exploits. He could tell at a glance that Chen Xin's team of soldiers and horses were all murderous, and they were definitely not the children of a high-flying family.

"If you don't let them enter the city, will it cause misunderstanding on the side of the center?"

Xiao Fan asked uncertainly.

In fact, according to their official positions, Pei Zhigao and Xiao Fan are on the same level, and the power on the surface is still higher than that of the other party.But no matter how arrogant ordinary people are, how can their substantive power be higher than those of clan origin?
Therefore, in the important town of Liyang, Pei Zhigao is usually in charge, but Xiao Fan is the one who makes the real decisions.Now Xiao Fan asked how to deal with it, Pei Zhigao scolded the other party for being cunning in his heart, but it was not easy to turn his face.

"I think that Liu Yishou's army is sitting in Shouyang, and he is a son-in-law. He entered Jiankang Palace single-handedly, and assassinated him when he was summoned... Isn't this a bit too childish?"

Pei Zhigao said with a strange face, if possible, he would never want to face Liu Yishou face to face on the battlefield!

Nanqiao Prefecture is next to each other to the south of Shouyang. If Liu Yishou revolts, Nanqiao Prefecture will bear the brunt of it.

"The assassination of the emperor is very confusing. Now who is the murderer is still unknown, and I feel uneasy. However, there are so many things that we can't discuss, and many things that we can't do. Let's just wait and see what happens. ?”

Xiao Fan is an "expert in antiques", and he especially likes calligraphy and paintings by famous Eastern Jin masters.However, his emotional intelligence is still online among the clan's children, and he never thinks about imaginary things.

Pei Zhigao's heart tightened, he realized that he had touched the "minefield", and he really couldn't continue asking.Who knows if it was Prince Xiao Gang who assassinated Xiao Yan?Who knows if this is a coup?

"I don't know how to deal with it, so let's ask Prefect Xiao to decide. After all, Prefect Xiao is a member of the clan, so it's easier to talk. This matter involves treason, and I dare not judge rashly."

The two played football with each other, neither of them dared to let Chen Xin enter Liyang City.It's not that he's afraid that the other party will attack the city, but that if the other party "finds out" Liu Yishou in Liyang City, it would be unsightly to play a trick of framing Liu Yishou.

However, if the other party is not allowed to enter the city, wouldn't that mean "protect Liu Yishou" written on his face?
This is really neither advancing nor retreating.

"Forget it, if they want to search, let them search. I'll see what tricks these people can play." Xiao Fan said with a sigh.It would be very shameful to do so, but it is much better than Xiao Gang's suspicion and treason.

Xiao Gang's new ascension to the throne has three fires, and it is not good to burn it on his own head.Xiao Fan was extremely afraid of this.

With Chen Xin's status as a general of the Forbidden Army, Xiao Fan and the others dare not take it seriously.Normally, he might not take this kind of person seriously, but now is an extraordinary period, and everything cannot be controlled.

Soon, Chen Xin brought a few soldiers into the lobby of the government office.Pei Zhigao saw that Ma Fonian, Song Jingxiu, Yu Tianmin and others behind Chen Xin were all brave generals who were by Chen Qingzhi's side during the Northern Expedition, and they were very good at fighting.

He understood that the other party was definitely serious this time, so he cupped his hands and asked Chen Xin: "Is your father's illness better?"

"My father passed away a few days ago."

Chen Xin said calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

Pei Zhigao was astonished.

Logically speaking, Chen Xin did not stay at home to guard the spirit, and brought the imperial army to Liyang to search and arrest Liu Yishou, what a lot of pressure this must be!

"General Chen, Liu Yishou has not arrived in Liyang, so the next sentence is true. If you really want to search, we must send someone to cooperate with you to search every household in Liyang City.

But if you can't find it, please give us an explanation.

I admire your father's demeanor during the Northern Expedition to Wei State very much, but this is not the capital for you to be domineering in Liyang. "

Xiao Fan said boldly.The reason why he dared to say that was because as long as Chen Xin and the others were allowed to enter the city, there would be no suspicion of harboring Liu Yishou on his side.At that point, Xiao Gang would obviously win over a clan like himself.

Instead of suspicion and blame.

This moment and that moment, don't look at Chen Xin's high-spirited look now, it's because Xiao Fan himself doesn't know what Xiao Gang's attitude is.After he figured out Xiao Gang's attitude, he had plenty of ways to deal with this little boss of the Forbidden Army.

"You argue that Liu Yishou is not in Liyang, hehe, I think he is in Liyang!"

Chen Xin said with a cold face.

Receiving the hint, Ma Fo-nian and the other three quickly cut down the soldiers around Xiao Fan.Pei Zhigao never expected that these people would dare to fight in the lobby of the prefect's mansion.

Just as his hand was about to draw the knife, Ma Funian put a knife on his neck.

"Chen Xin! Don't make mistakes, do you know what you are doing? Liu Yishou is not in Liyang, you are framing us! You killed us, and you can only flee to Wei State in the future. What do you want your father to do? think?"

Xiao Fan yelled at Chen Xin, Song Jingxiu saw him making noise, and pushed the horizontal knife forward, Xiao Fan, who was bleeding from his neck, was terrified!Hastily shut up.

"Who said Liu Yishou wasn't here?"

The "soldier" among Chen Xin's group who hadn't done anything all this time took off his helmet, walked slowly in front of Xiao Fan, and said with a proud smile, "That's right, I'm right here, the majestic governor of the two Huaihe Rivers, Liu Yishou is also me. Standing here alive like this, you still say that you didn't hide Liu Yishou? It's really despicable!
Under the command of the two Huaihe military forces, including Nanqiao Prefecture.Why didn't you salute when you met the governor? "

Liu Yishou got cheap and acted like a good boy, he taunted Pei Zhigao and Xiao Fan with a gun and stick.Ma Fo-nian and the others laughed without any image, showing their grandeur.

You are really treacherous when you ride a horse!Xiao Fan and Pei Zhigao were dumbfounded.

The team led by Liu Yishou is "hunting" Liu Yishou, what a trick to ask for directions!This concubine Liu deserves to be the vicious watchdog that Xiao Yan relies on, even if he is not fighting, he has brought out the best in soldiers.

If you really want to get to the bottom of it, Liu Yishou is indeed "in" Liyang, because he is in Chen Xin's team.

Pei Zhigao smiled bitterly and said: "Captain Liu, we all know that you have been wronged, can you let them take the knife away and talk about it if you have something to say?"

"Order to disarm, we want to take over the city defense, everything will be discussed after taking over the city defense!"

Liu Yishou looked at Pei Zhigao with a half-smile, as if mocking him for wanting to bully the young with his old age.Regardless of Liu Yishou's young age, these years he has been in the water, in the fire, and has seen many big scenes.

It's worth not mentioning Pei Zhigao's little tricks that can't be put on the table.

Ma Fonian and others are as fierce as tigers in one operation, they are really as fierce as tigers.Soon, the five hundred white robes under his command took control of Liyang City, and not a single county soldier escaped.From this, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of a veteran of hundreds of battles is by no means comparable to that of a recruit.

"I have received an order from the Son of Heaven to lead troops to Jingxiang to take back the two kings Xiao Huan and Xiao Xie, make one the crown prince, and depose the crown prince Xiao Gang. Unexpectedly, when I left Xianyang Palace, something unexpected happened to the Son of Heaven.

Chen Xin's father, General Chen Qingzhi, also obtained the emperor's oral orders and tokens, which can prove this matter.Now there are two paths before you.The first way is to be beheaded by us, and then we will issue a statement in Liyang, follow the order to fight against rebellion, lead troops into King Qin of Jiankang, and take Xiao Huan and Xiao Xi into Jiankang to ascend the throne!
The second way, you issue a statement in Liyang yourself, do not accept all the government orders of Xiao Gang, follow the former prince Xiao Tongyi's lineage as the orthodoxy, and seek rebellion according to the order!Then we leave.

These two paths are yours to choose. "

Liu Yishou laid out two dead ends in front of Xiao Fan and others.

Xiao Fan and Pei Zhigao looked at each other, is there a choice?It's nothing more than the difference between dying now and dying later!
"Liu Dudu, we Ming people don't speak dark words. It's okay for us to fight against rebellion according to the order, but isn't the timing wrong? If we issue a statement now, the first prongs will die first, the Dudu should understand. , we will probably be wiped out by the troops sent by Xiao Gang soon."

Pei Zhigao said with a wry smile.

"How will you know if you don't try? You have to believe in your own strength. As long as you have righteousness in your heart, you will be invincible. I believe that no matter who Xiao Gang sends, he will not be able to defeat Li Yang."

Liu Yishou said with a smile on his face.

Ma Fonian and the others wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, they could only cover their mouths desperately, their stomachs twitching intermittently.

"Liu Concubine, we are still relatives, can you give me another way?"

Xiao Fan asked cautiously.People are knives and I am fish. It is impossible not to keep a low profile.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Liu Yishou asked back.

"Don't dare, I'm just talking casually, casually." Xiao Fan said shyly.

"Well, since I said it casually, I'll pretend I didn't hear it."

Liu Yishou also said very "casually".

Xiao Fan and Pei Zhigao smiled wryly, this Dudu Liu really didn't let the rabbit see the eagle.This time, if he wanted to get out of his body, he would have to come up with some "dry goods".

"Liu Dudu, if we raise troops in Liyang, the soldiers and horses in Shouyang, can you take care of us. That... Jiankang has a lot of elite soldiers, and Xiao Gang may be able to recruit a lot of troops. If we attack Liyang, we I can't stand it."

Pei Zhigao put forward a rather "constructive" opinion.

Liu Yishou suddenly clapped his hands and applauded Pei Zhigao.

"As expected, he was the general who followed General Pei Sui in the South and North Wars. This idea is very good. Don't worry, as long as you play the banner of respecting the king and rebelling against rebellion, and enshrine the children of the former prince Xiao Tongyi as the orthodox, then Shouyang's troops will , will definitely support Liyang, after all, Shouyang is not far away, isn't it?"

Xiao Fan and Pei Zhigao finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard what Liu Yishou said.

"You two, write the call to action now, and then I'll send someone to Jiankang to show Xiao Gang." Strike while the iron is hot, Liu Yishou doesn't want to be stabbed in the back.

Xiao Fan let out a long sigh, and he called for a staff member with excellent literary talent under his command.

Anyway, he scolded Xiao Gang for being inferior to animals, killing his father and usurping the throne, being a wolf with ambition, and angering both humans and gods.

They will never obey Xiao Gang's puppet court, but follow Xiao Yan's edict, honoring the descendants of Xiao's unified lineage as the prince, and they will definitely lead them to break through Jiankang and bring order out of chaos in the future.

That's probably what it means, and the rest is just a pile of rhetoric.

Liu Yishou looked at it, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Very well, we will send people to Jiankang to send a petition for rebellion. I think the two of you should not go to Jiankang afterwards, and explain to Xiao Gang that all this is a A harmless joke, right?"

Hearing these words, both Xiao Fan and Pei Zhigao were silent.There is no turning back when the bow is opened. Now that the call has been issued, it is tantamount to a rebellion. The next step is just success and defeat, and there is nothing to say.

On the road to rebellion, there is no rule of surrendering and losing half!

……

After finishing Pei Zhigao and Xiao Fan, Liu Yishou brought some old white-robed troops to get some horses from Liyang, and rode them all the way to Shouyang.

The incident happened suddenly, and Shouyang didn't know what happened to Liu Yishou, and thought he had business to do in Jiankang.

Traveling all over the world, they came to the lobby of Shouyang's government office. Liu Yishou called Chen Yuankang, Wang Wei, and even Yang Xiuzhi and others here to discuss important matters!
"Everyone, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. We don't have the emperor's will in our hands. It is easy to follow the truth.

So I think the most urgent task now is to write a will. "

Liu Yishou said in a deep voice.

Everyone present, including Chen Xin, was dumbfounded!
This posthumous edict was written by Xiao Yan in advance, how could you "write it" for him?Doing so is completely indistinguishable from usurping the throne!
Seeing everyone's doubtful expressions, Liu Yishou walked up to Chen Xin first, and asked Chen Xin with a smile, "Is it true that the emperor told your father to abolish Xiao Gang and make Xiao Huan or Xiao Xi the crown prince?"

Chen Xin nodded desperately and said: "That's true. If there are lies, I am willing to die!"

Everyone nodded slightly, there is no doubt about this.Liu Yishou himself is a person who promises money, and it is impossible to lie to his confidantes about this kind of matter.

Liu Yishou took out Xiao Yan's private seal again, and said to the crowd: "This seal is also owned by the Son of Heaven. Can General Chen testify to this?"

Liu Yishou asked Chen Xin, who nodded quickly.

Liu Yishou continued to ask: "So now I ordered someone to write a will, write the emperor's order accurately in the will, and then stamp the real emperor's seal, then this will be a real will, right? "

You don't understand Yuriolov's gunship, Liu Yishou was secretly proud.

When everyone heard it, it seemed that there was such a reason, and there seemed to be something wrong, but they couldn't tell the reason.

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, dazzled by Liu Yishou's strange logic.

Just when Wang Wei was about to volunteer himself to write the "Last Edict", Yang Xiuzhi suddenly rushed out and knelt in front of Liu Yishou, grabbed his cuff and shouted loudly: "My lord, I am very good at imitating handwriting. Please let this Edict come out." Write it down! Be sure to give me such a chance!"

Grass!Preempted by him!
Wang Wei scolded Yang Xiu for being shameless!
　The curtain opened, let's see Liu Dudu criss-crossing Nanliang, asking for a ticket.
