Governor please stay

Chapter 425 Killing with a Soft Knife

Liu Yishou searched his mind a lot, and because of Xiao Yujin, he almost recognized all the people in the Nanliang clan, and it seemed that there was no one named Xiao Jie.

Then I recalled Xiao Qi's clan in the previous dynasty, it seems that there is no one named Xiao Jie, who is this guy?
The waiter was a sensible person, seeing Liu Yishou's complexion changed, he changed the topic, brought some jars of good wine, and then went to greet his master who was drunk.

"Xiao Yi's rebellious army attacked the city, and many courtiers were in Taicheng at that time, maybe someone was shot and died..."

Yu Jin whispered in Liu Yishou's ear.

Well, it does.

Liu Yishou nodded calmly, and stopped paying attention to this matter.

"My lord, this time the land of the Three Wus has different attitudes towards the north. From my point of view, the matter of destroying Wu Xing can be done in advance, so as not to cause problems."

Yu Jin is also a person with a great sense of the overall situation. This time, Wu Jun and Kuaiji in the land of the Three Wus are all submissive, and Wu Xing seems to be very aggressive. He can teach this early bird a lesson.

"How do you think it's going to be handled?"

Liu Yishou asked in a deep voice.

"Shen Ke and others who wrote to Wu Xing, Chen Ming has a lot of interests. If they are still stubborn, then these people can be cleaned up together, and no one will say that the lord is cruel and heartless."

Yu Jin said slowly, he believed that Liu Yishou could also think of these things, but the effect would be different after all if he said it from his own mouth.

Courteous first and then soldiers, bypassing Chen Baxian and others, and contacting Wu Xinghao.It has to be said that this idea is generally very symptomatic.

"The Master said: Killing without teaching is called cruelty, not treating it as violence is called violence, delaying order until the end is called thief, just like dealing with others, and being stingy with cashiers is called being in charge. Let's bring it to the fore, if those people If you don't listen, don't blame me, Mr. Liu, for being cruel.

I have my own opinion on this matter, you don't have to worry about it. "

Liu Yishou nodded slightly, but actually he didn't take Wu Xing's local tyrants seriously.

These local snakes can only display their strength when they are in a group to keep warm. Now the influential Zhang, Zhu, Lu, and Gu in the Three Wus have all compromised to survive. Liu Yishou doesn't believe that Chen Baxian can make any waves.

"Master, regarding the Northern Expedition...Qing Xu seems to be going back and forth, and the gain outweighs the loss."

After thinking for a long time, Yu Jin suppressed such a sentence.Liu Yishou just told his subordinates that he wanted to go to the Northern Expedition, but he didn't say where to take it as a breakthrough point.The caliber to the outside world is to send troops to Qingxu, and the transportation of grain and fodder is also to the Lianghuai River as the destination.

But what exactly Liu Yishou planned in his heart, no one knows.

"If you can, show that you can't; if you can't, show that you can."

Liu Yishou turned his palms over and said meaningfully.If the king does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, and if his ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his body. This Northern Expedition has a lot to do with it, and Liu Yishou is very tight-lipped. No matter who it is, he does not reveal a word.

He knew very well in his heart that if someone said to you, "I only tell you this matter, you must not tell others", then this matter is one step away from being known to the world.

At this moment, the young waiter came over and politely said to Liu Yishou and the others: "Your words are so offensive, I won't charge for this drink."

Hearing this, Liu Yishou and Yu Jin looked at each other, thinking that the owner of this store is really a wonderful person, even when he was drunk, he could still give correct orders.

"After sunset tomorrow, let your master take these three copper coins and come find me by the Xuanwu Lake behind Jiming Mountain."

Liu Yishou took out three Wen coins from his cuff, put them on the table, and winked at Jin.

The two got up and left, leaving the waiter staring at their backs with disdain on his face.

"Heh, I didn't want to take your money, and I hypocritically left three Wen coins. It's iron money again. I'm pissed!"

……

Don't look at Wu Xing's refusal of Jiankang's call-up order, which seems very chic, in fact, the internal affairs have long been divided into two factions.

Xiao Ying, the prefect of Wu Xing, Chen Baxian who joined the army as a direct soldier, and Shen Ke and Shen Xun from Wu Xing's wealthy Shen family all strongly advocated rejecting the imperial court's recruitment.In addition to personal selfishness, the main thing is to take out real money and food and soldiers to "feed the dogs", but they are also full of bitterness and don't know what to say.

If Jiankang didn't act as a monster, why did they brazenly confront the court?
However, within Wu Xing, Chen Baxian and the others were not in agreement.

Tian Cao joined the army, and Yao Sengyuan, who was born in a medical family, discussed that Cao was engaged in Zhang Fashang and others, so he felt that there was no need to fight openly and fiercely against the court.It is not an unconventional operation to recruit soldiers, money and food. It has been the rule for hundreds of years in the Southern Dynasties.

Since Jiankang is asking for it, just give it a little!

If there is a rebellion due to such a small matter, there will be almost no day in the land of the Southern Dynasties without trouble!In order to fulfill the quota of soldiers, it is not uncommon for local officials to go to the countryside to tie up people with ropes. Now the food in Jiankang is already very good!

But even if the voices of these opposition groups are not small, it is useless, because the military power in Wuxing County is controlled by Xiao Ying and Wu Xingshen.

On this day, the latest government decree sent by Jiankang, as well as the transfer orders of many Wu Xing officials, were placed on Xiao Ying's desk.

"Yao Sengyuan entered the Imperial Hospital and led the doctor. Zhang Fashang entered Jiankang and served as the servant of the Huangmen, and entered the center to take orders at the Shangshufu. Chen Ba was first transferred to Guangzhou as the prefect, Shen Ke was transferred to Xiangyang as a direct soldier to join the army, and Shen Xun was transferred to Pengcheng Joining the army as a direct soldier..."

Xiao Ying looked at this official transfer order with the emperor's seal, and her anger was suppressed to a critical point, and she was about to explode.

Occupying the central Jiankang means controlling the so-called "righteousness" and the right to appoint and remove officials!This is an advantage that the local power faction can't offset anyway.Now, Xiao Ying felt the deep malice from Jiankang Taicheng from this thin piece of paper.

A transfer order from an official can dismantle your power to pieces, whether you say it's powerful or not, you can't hate it!
It doesn't matter if you resist the decree alone, do you want to lead a group of people to resist the decree?
And you said you didn't want to rebel?

Xiao Ying could imagine that Chen Baxian might refuse the transfer order, but Yao Sengyuan and others definitely wouldn't.

Perhaps Shen's attitude is also hard to say.

"What does Xingguo think?"

Xiao Ying helplessly asked Chen Baxian who was beside him. The latter's face was stiff, and he seemed to be a little distracted by the sudden "soft knife".

"Now, we have to gather all the people involved to discuss countermeasures."

Chen Baxian said with a sigh.

Blocking someone's way of making money is like killing their parents, blocking someone's way of officialdom is equivalent to killing the whole family!Although this official transfer order was sent to Wu Xingcheng's government office, it was not Xiao Ying who could make the decision!
The word Xiao Ying was simply not mentioned in the transfer order!
"Until today, I didn't understand why Liu Yishou was able to marry the princess."

Chen Baxian said with a sigh.This person's level of scheming is truly extraordinary.This guy is not just a person who can command and fight!
Is it because he is handsome that he can marry a princess?
Xiao Ying felt weird, and didn't know what Chen Baxian was thinking, so he could only sigh along with him.

The matter was so important that several people on the transfer order were called to discuss matters in the lobby of the government office.

"This person is deep in thought and good at dancing. He can't be guessed by common sense, alas!"

After reading this transfer order, Shen Ke sighed deeply, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart that could not be expressed to others.

This is like running a race with others. Even if the Olympic champion is in front of you, you may not be convinced in your heart, thinking "I can touch the edge if I work hard."

But to compare the speed with the plane, that is a desperate thing.No matter how arrogant a person is, there will be a feeling of powerlessness in his heart.

Sure enough, Yao Sengyuan, who is in his 30s, said with a smile: "The family has practiced medicine for generations, and a certain inherits the mantle to study medicine. He is planning to resign from his post in the county and practice hard behind closed doors. I didn't expect that the center would be transferred to the Imperial Hospital, and it happened to be completed. So , then I will take my leave and prepare to go to Jiankang to take up my post."

After finishing speaking, Yao Sengyuan got up to say goodbye, and walked away!

It doesn't matter if you leave, but once you leave, your family's attitude will change accordingly!

Xiao Ying shouted wildly in her heart, but it was a pity that Yao Sengyuan couldn't hear her heart, otherwise she would definitely sneer at Xiao Ying.

He was opposed to confronting the imperial court, but now this order just allows the family to get rid of the dilemma, why bother to continue to entangle with Xiao Ying and others here?You are not my father?

This seemingly simple transfer order has actually investigated their personal backgrounds, and every move is aimed at the most deadly place!It seems that there are only more than 100 words, but the calculation behind this is frightening.

Not only Yao Sengyuan, but also Shen Ke and Shen Xun were a little tempted.After all, they were out of the vortex of Wu Xing, even if the imperial court brought troops to exterminate Chen Baxian and others, it had nothing to do with them.

As long as they put aside their responsibilities, the rebellion is the matter of Xiao Ying and Chen Baxian, and it has nothing to do with Shen Shi.

"Everyone, I'm a literati, and I can't refuse this transfer order when I enter the Minister's Mansion. In this case, I will hand over the government affairs and go to Jiankang to take up my post." Zhang Fashang shrugged and bowed his hands in embarrassment. Quickly left.

Two of them left at once. The good news is that, with the opposition's departure, the power to prevent them from fighting against the imperial court has become much weaker in an instant.The bad news is that people's hearts are scattered and it is difficult to lead the team.

Xiao Ying's heart was full of bitterness, and he didn't know how to pour it out.If he could, he really didn't want to fight someone with Liu Yishou's intelligence, but unfortunately he had no choice.

"You two can come and go freely, and the prefect and I will never force it."

Chen Ba first looked at Shen Ke and Shen Xun, and said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.

"Xingguo, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Inside the Shen family, there are quite some opinions on refusing to support the Northern Expedition. The ancestors of the Shen family made many achievements in the Northern Expedition, but now... you know, It's hard for us too."

Shen Xun said with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Shen Ke and Chen Ba first had a very close personal relationship, but Shen Xun was not like that. What he said was also from his heart.

This time, some people within the Shen family raised doubts, saying that as long as the children of the Shen family participated in the Northern Expedition, they would definitely stand out, so why bother about the money and soldiers?
The ancestors of the Shen family participated in the Huanwen Northern Expedition and Liu Yu's Northern Expedition, and achieved a lot.Now that the opportunity to make contributions has come, isn't the future of the family's children not important?
It's okay if Shen Ke refuses the transfer order this time.But if Shen Xun also refuses, many people in the family will probably ask the two of them: Are Chen Baxian and Xiao Ying your father, worthy of your kneeling and licking?

Xiao Ying and Chen Baxian sighed at the same time, they never thought that such an official's transfer order would be better than thousands of troops forcing the palace.

According to their idea, if the court soldiers came, they could make a noise at that time, saying that Jiankang was very dissatisfied with Wu Xing's many tycoons, and this time they wanted to settle accounts after the fall, and no one could escape.So please unite with me and get through this difficult time together.

In that case, the stronger Jiankang's soldiers and horses are, the tighter Wu Xinghao's group will be.Unexpectedly, the development of things is completely different from what was expected!
Shen Xun's move can be regarded as "betrayal", he has no face to stay in the government office, so he has to hide his face and leave.Xiao Ying, Chen Baxian, and Shen Ke were left in the empty hall of the government office.

"Xingguo, I won't go to the post, you can rest assured."

Shen Ke said with a smile.

Now that Shen Xun in the family has joined Jiankang, I don't need to "break my promise" here, otherwise, how would others talk about Wu Xing and Shen's behind their backs?
This is the case with a powerful family, the family's interests are the most important, and personal gains and losses are not important.

"Xingguo, look at the current situation..."

Xiao Ying was a little at a loss.Liu Yishou's soft knife slashed people too hard, and they were a little bit overwhelmed.

"Your Highness, if we are disintegrated by this order without saying a word, how will the people of the world treat us? Will there be a place for us in the future?"

Chen Baxian asked back.

Xiao Ying didn't answer, obviously agreeing with this point.Their current persistence can also play the banner of "justice for Xiao Gang".However, if he was condescending towards Jiankang, he would obviously lose his integrity and be despised.

At least, no matter how weak people are, they have to resist, right?

"Zi Gong (Shen Ke's name), a big battle is inevitable, hurry up and prepare for it."

Chen Ba first patted Shen Ke on the shoulder and said, he is also very helpless, but men cannot be cowardly!
"It's time to use the title of Marquis of Jing'an. After all, he is the emperor who will succeed the crown prince."

……

At the turn of spring and summer, just after sunset, the cool breeze blowing by the Xuanwu Lake makes people feel comfortable.

Liu Yishou was sitting on a big rock fishing, and a torch stood on a wooden pole beside him for lighting.He feels at ease resting here, because this is not far from the house after turning left.

At this moment, there were footsteps behind him, very strange.Just as Yuan Shikang was about to draw his knife, Liu Yishou waved his hand, signaling him to be calm.

"Lin Fan, are you here?"

Liu Yishou asked without turning his head.

"Uh, I'm not Lin Fan."

said a hoarse voice.

"Oh, then you must be Lin Yi!"

"My surname is not Lin!"

The voice was a little urgent, and seeing the burly Yuan Shikang standing aside with a knife, he didn't dare to attack.

"Come, sit here."

Liu Yishou pointed to the vacant space beside him and said, that big rock is huge, and Liu Yishou only occupied a small half of it for fishing.

"Next..." The man carefully sat next to Liu Yishou, and just about to speak, he heard Liu Yishou say leisurely: "Xu Du, styled filial piety, is from Anlu, and lived in Jiankang for generations."

"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Wu..."

Xu Du said with trepidation.

He had complained to his servants about many things at home before, among which he often scolded Liu Yishou as a traitor and traitor.The current situation is similar to "His Majesty the Supreme Emperor has arrived in his faithful Paris today".

"I am also very saddened by the death of Xiao Jie. But it was the work of Xiao Yi, the king of Eastern Hunan. When my soldiers and horses took over Taicheng, he had already died from the arrow in his body. How can it be said that I slaughtered him? gone?"

Liu Yishou blinked at Xu Du with a smile and said.

"I am young and ignorant, offended King Wu, please forgive me!"

Xu Du was so frightened that he lost his soul, he quickly bent down and bowed his head to salute, hating the servant who usually followed him to drink and brag.

"Forget it, it's all trivial matters. I heard that you are seeking officials everywhere, hoping to join the Forbidden Army of Taicheng City, but you can't get it. Is there such a thing?"

Pretending to be high-spirited, when the fishing rod sank, Liu Yishou pulled it along and caught a broken boot.Xu Du was so frightened that he quickly turned his head, pretending that he didn't see it.

"Forget it, tell me, what do you think."

Liu Yishou stretched out his hand to Xu Du, who understood, and quickly put the three iron coins into his hand.

"Can you say anything?"

Xu Du gritted his teeth and asked.He knew that a rare opportunity had come, but whether he could seize it was still a big question mark.

"Yes, speak freely. Of course, there are many concubines in my next family, so there is no need to mention women's sex."

"His Royal Highness King Wu, if you send troops to Qingxu, you will definitely return in defeat. Please think again, Your Highness!"

Xu Du directly knelt down and begged Liu Yishou.

Liu Yishou waved his hand lightly, Yuan Shikang understood, and retreated with his personal guards.

"Let's talk about it, how did you return home without a feather?"

he asked with a bad face.
