Governor please stay

Chapter 429 Deep Melancholy

Duan Shao anxiously went to the street where Gao Cheng's accident happened. Fortunately, it happened in Rencheng, not a village in the suburbs.Otherwise, I don't know how things will turn out.

However, when he arrived at the courtyard where the incident happened, he saw bloodstains all over the ground and dead bodies everywhere.

These corpses are basically dressed as servants.And the "participant" Gao Cheng was brandishing a whip, beating a man tied to a tree trunk.

This person has been beaten to a bloody mess, but Gao Cheng only has a red mark on his face, and the rest looks basically intact, even his clothes are just a little wrinkled.

Duan Shao seemed to understand something, nothing more than referring to the deer's behavior of throwing dirty water on horses and the like.Gao Cheng hoped that Duan Shao would settle the matter. If he directly said that he had nothing wrong with him and that he tied the sufferer to a tree, would Duan Shao still come?

Obviously it won't.

After all, Gao Cheng is so awesome, and he plays so flamboyantly, Duan Shao must stand by and watch how "Little Gao Wang" ends after knowing it.

Duan Shao understood that he was being tricked by Gao Cheng, and walked over calmly, with a plan in mind.

"Xiaoxian, you are here."

Gao Cheng seemed to be tired from whipping the whip, he dropped the whip to the ground, panting lightly.His young and handsome face twitched slightly ferociously, Duan Shao silently observed the other party, just nodded slightly, with a calm and serious face.

"Zu Xiaozheng (Zu Ting) and I were walking well on the road, but this guy even brought people to attack us! He must be a spy sent by Liu Yishou! Oh my, how dare you look at me?"

Gao Cheng found that the man was staring at him, he went over with a guilty conscience and punched and kicked the man again.

"Since you are a spy, let me handle this matter, and the prince will go back to the government office and rest."

Duan Shao cupped his hands respectfully and said, as for Gao Cheng's rhetoric, it's not worth mentioning, and there's no need to delve into it.He is the eldest son of Gao Huan, which is enough to offset all the problems.

Ok?
Gao Cheng typed up a lot of drafts in his heart and prepared a lot of excuses, but he didn't expect Duan Shao to be so "informed and interesting".For a moment he hadn't turned the corner.

"Zu Xiaozheng, it is not good for you to protect the son, and let the son suffer from flesh and blood, can you be convicted?"

Duan Shao suddenly shouted angrily at Zu Ting, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face!If Gao Cheng can't be dealt with, it's okay to give the opponent's dog a little color, Duan Shao thinks it's just right to do so.

"Returning to General Xiaoduan, it is indeed my fault, and I am willing to accept any punishment."

Zu Ting bowed his hands slowly and retreated to the side.He knew very well that Gao Cheng couldn't hide this matter from Gao Huan, and someone had to stand up and take the blame.For example, how could Gao Cheng commit adultery with a beautiful woman he didn't know at all, it could only be instigated by his ancestors.

Duan Shao really has nothing to do with Zu Ting's hob meat, after all, he is not Gao Huan.Similar things can only be turned into small things.

"This person has ulterior motives, beheaded and thrown into a mass grave. The village chief and his neighbors didn't know who he was, and were bewitched by him, so he even went to jail. Is the prince satisfied with the result of this?"

Duan Shao pointed to the man tied to the tree, and asked softly in Gao Cheng's ear.

Gao Cheng knew he was wrong, sighed and nodded slightly.

"Xiaoxian (duan Shaobiao) you can deal with it yourself."

Yesterday was originally a wave of flying, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen!Not to mention being caught and raped in bed, she was almost beaten.Thanks to Zu Ting's dexterity, he ran out of the yard to call someone, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The people of Qingxu Land are tough, and it is quite normal for people to beat him to death.Gao Cheng also had lingering fears.

"Xiaoxian (duan Shaobiao) is fair, so I'll go back to the government office first."

Gao Cheng said with embarrassment, wishing to leave here sooner.

"My son, go slowly."

Duan Shao heaved a sigh of relief, and finally coaxed this master well.If the other party really wants to go crazy and say that everyone in this area has been cut off, then I guess I really want to play like this.

After Gao Cheng walked away, Duan Shao looked at the poor guy who was tied to the tree.

"Reincarnate into a good family in the next life."

Duan Shao let out a long sigh, explained a few words to the soldiers, and then walked out of the courtyard, filled with emotion.

"Father said that when Liu Yishou was in Weimo, whenever he ransacked his home and found a beauty, he would give it to others to tie his heart, and he would not take any of it. Looking at the son's words and deeds now... there is a difference."

Originally, Duan Shao also thought that Liu Yishou was nothing, just a talented but unvirtuous hero.But looking at Gao Cheng's words and deeds, Duan Shao suddenly felt that Liu Yishou was very charismatic, no wonder he could gather so many heroes under his command.

If Gao Cheng took Liu Yishou's position now, I'm afraid that countless women in Jiankang City would be harmed.He heard many rumors that after Liu Yishou led his troops into Jiankang, he would look like a master of the king, at least he could make women feel happy.

Seeing Weizhi's work, Duan Shao felt even more stressed.To fight against this kind of opponent, you really need to be very energetic.If a top figure like Liu Yishou doesn't focus on women, then he must be playing the enemy's idea.That in itself is a very scary thing.

Only someone like Gao Cheng who thinks he has nothing to do can feel that "the years are quiet".

"Is there any movement in Pengcheng?"

Duan Shao couldn't help asking the soldiers around him.

"Return to General Duan, the scouts have not returned today."

How can the personal soldiers know what the enemy's movements are? Those are all military secrets.

Duan Shao realized that he had lost his composure when he was concerned, coughed lightly and said: "When the scouts arrive, just send the enemy situation ahead to my study."

"Here!"

……

In the Xianyang Palace in Taicheng, Liu Yishou was saying goodbye to Xiao Huan, because he was about to go to the Qingxu front line to supervise the battle.Of course, this was declared to be the case, but as for the reality, after leaving Jiankang, except for a few people, no one else would know Liu Yishou's whereabouts.

"Is my uncle really going to send troops this time? It took a lot of time for the tyrants in Sanwu to settle down..."

Xiao Huan, the new emperor of Liang Guo, said with some reluctance.In fact, what he really wanted to say was: If Liu Yishou was defeated miserably, those uncles of his might rebel again!

Like Xiao Xu, Xiao Yi, Xiao Lun (the fief was changed to Yuzhang) and others, the fief is remote, the surrounding people are tough, and there are not a few people who dare to die.These uncles like him are not good birds. Once they have the opportunity to take over Jiankang, they will never be polite to Xiao Huan.

Today's Liu Yishou can be described in a poem as "the day when Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, when Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp".He married the princess and supported the descendants of the former prince to take the throne. Can you say he is Wang Mang?
Maybe one day he will really usurp the throne, but that will not count until he makes a substantial usurpation.In the current situation, Liu Yishou can be regarded as the direct descendant of the direct descendants of the Jiankang court, the loyal minister of the loyal ministers!

Without Liu Yishou, Xiao Huan would still be playing in mud in Jingxiang!

Liu Yishou was about to send troops to Qing Xu, Xiao Huan didn't feel that the other party's move was usurping the throne at all, but felt that his "uncle" was too sloppy!

"People who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries. Although Your Majesty is in charge of Jiankang, his foothold is not stable. In the land of the Three Wus, there are many people who are convinced and dissatisfied. There are even more vassal kings who support their own self-respect. It is inevitable to cut down the vassal in the future. .

If Gao Huan can't be taught a serious lesson, when His Majesty wants to cut down the feudal clan, they will definitely hinder it.Your Majesty, please think twice. "

"So, uncle, be careful."

Xiao Huan said regretfully.

"Your Majesty, please stop. I can just walk out of the palace by myself. Your Majesty's rich body is related to the safety of the country. Please take care of yourself."

Seeing that Xiao Huan was about to stand up and see him off, Liu Yishou hurriedly saluted and asked the other party not to follow.When Liu Yishou walked out of Taicheng, he saw Chen Yuankang already sitting on the cart, waiting for him to come out.

"You are not in the Shangshu Mansion, why are you waiting for me here?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously.

Without saying a word, Chen Yuankang handed a joint letter to Liu Yishou.

"It's very tiring to pretend to be a grandson in Taicheng today. If you have anything to say, just talk about it."

Liu Yishou rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"Liu Yan, the prefect of Poyang, jointly signed a letter with many courtiers, saying that the lord is arrogant and domineering, and has no eyes on the king. He asked the central government to remove the lord from his post."

Where did this onion come from?
"They see that I want to take care of myself in the Northern Expedition, so they provoke a conflict between me and the emperor?"

Liu Yishou's complexion turned black, as if he saw a bowl of carrion covered with flies appearing at his feet, and he felt extremely disgusted.

"Guangzhou, Yuezhou (Guangxi) and Hezhou (Leizhou Peninsula), see if there are any vacancies in these places. Didn't we just promulgate a new law? For large states and counties, two states can exist at the same time. Even three assassins?

Arranged directly for them, let them hang out with Xiao Ying and Chen Ba first. "

Liu Yishou waved his hands impatiently, the toad is disgusting, and it is also a very annoying thing.Of course Xiao Huan would not dismiss himself according to the reasons stated in this letter.In fact, if Xiao Huan didn't agree with him, Liu Yishou could also help his younger brother Xiao Xie up.

I believe that Xiao Huan still has some compulsions in his heart, everyone takes a step back, there is a little room for turning around, and there is no need to humiliate each other openly, isn't that good?

Those people have far-reaching intentions, and their hearts can be punished!
"Sir, don't you need to kill a group of people to make an example?"

Chen Yuankang asked suspiciously, isn't Liu Yishou's attack too soft?He didn't quite understand that the more critical the Northern Expedition was, the more ruthless he was going to deal with those people!

"Don't force these wastes too hard, write down all the things they have offended me now, and when there is another turmoil in the country, just pull out the list, charge them with the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and pull them all out to hack It’s fine, don’t think too much about it.”

Liu Yishou said thoughtfully.The current situation is hard-won, and everything must be dealt with carefully.After the Northern Expedition is over, the prestige has been established, and the hearts and minds of the people and the army have been won, then you can do what you want to do drastically.

A person who travels hundreds of miles is half to ninety, the closer to success, the more cautious you must be.

"My lord is sending troops this time, please be careful, and don't be greedy for merit." Chen Yuankang finally couldn't help talking about this matter.

Liu Yishou gestured with his fingers, wrote the word "Nanyang" on the opponent's palm, smiled without saying a word.

"I said it! I mean why the lord would choose..."

Chen Yuankang wanted to say more, but Liu Yishou waved his hand and made a silent gesture.

"Qingxu's side is a feint attack, otherwise there is no way to hide it from Gao Huan. Qingxu's soldiers are many and mixed, and they focus on attacking and defending. As for other places, the soldiers are few but fine. The water is rising, and we will quickly support it by water."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

Chen Yuankang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a helpless smile: "My lord's move is really powerful, I hope Gao Huan won't faint from crying."

"Then who knows? Jiankang's government affairs are entrusted to you. If there are any changes, you can discuss with Yang Kan. He can be trusted. I will ask Dai Zigao to protect you personally."

"understood."

Chen Yuankang nodded slightly, but said nothing.

……

Duan Shao can ignore Gao Cheng's rampant behavior in Rencheng and cause great public outrage, but he has to tell Gao Huan the truth.Because he was the chief general appointed by Gao Huan, not Gao Cheng's lackey.It is an iron principle to eat whose food and help whom.Those who violate the principles will end up miserable.

Long before he came to Rencheng, Duan Rong gave Duan Shao an order. It was all about clarifying his position and not being led by the nose by "Little Gao Wang".

Now Duan Shao has perfectly carried out Duan Rong's confession, and sent a letter to Gao Huan's desk, explaining the whole story in detail.

It was fine if he didn't write the letter, but Gao Huan just pretended that he didn't know about it at all.

As a result, when Duan Shao's letter was opened by Gao Huan, the hero who had already started to "cherish his feathers" and tried to cover up many absurd things (such as the burning of Yongning Temple) back then was blown away!

"Zhuzi! Shuzi! He's trying to piss me off!"

In Bafu's study, Gao Huan angrily threw the paperweight to the ground.Sima Zi on the side looked at his nose, his nose, his heart and didn't speak.The last time he made his son Sima Xiao miserable, Gao Cheng really went too far this time, and Gao Huan's very sensitive "people's heart" was involved, so he couldn't persuade him anymore.

Seeing that Sima Ziru didn't come forward to persuade him, Gao Huan sat down in front of the desk, sighed and asked, "Zunye (Sima Ziru's name), what do you think of Ah Cheng? Did you go too far this time?"

"King Gao, the son is young and ignorant, please be patient with him."

Sima Ziru reluctantly persuaded.He knew that Gao Huan wouldn't listen, but he had to say similar things to persuade him not to persuade him to make peace.Otherwise, either Gao Cheng or Gao Huan, there will always be someone who will settle the score after autumn.

"Well, what do you think we should do?"

Gao Huan was too lazy to listen to these unnutritious nonsense, and directly raised the issue he was most concerned about.

Sima Ziru has known Gao Huan for many years, so he knows his temper well.Although Gao Huan is very angry now, in fact he is not very disappointed with Gao Cheng, and maybe he still has the feeling of "worthy of being the seed of Lao Tzu".

"The current plan is to let the son return to Yecheng, study behind closed doors at home, and cultivate his health and character."

Sima Ziru bowed deeply to Gao Huan and stepped aside.

In fact, this answer is what Gao Huan thinks in his heart, but he hopes that his subordinates will tell him, so as not to make people feel that he is very cold.

"In that case, please ask Zunye to go to Rencheng and bring the son back."

Gao Huan knew very well that Duan Shao, who was of the same generation, couldn't control Gao Cheng.We can only let Sima Ziru, an elder, step out, and the last time he "adverted with his concubine mother", Sima Ziru persuaded him to be kind to Gao Cheng.
"Then I will go to Rencheng and persuade the son to return to Yecheng to study."

Sima Ziru bowed deeply to Gao Huan and said, his heart was full of bitterness.
