Governor please stay

Chapter 558 Move the capital to Heluo and become the Son of Heaven

"Three days later, the Great Court Meeting will be held, and the emperor will issue important edicts. King Danyang and King Guangling, you won't be absent, right?"

Outside the door of the emperor's bedroom, Liu Yishou looked at Xiao Jie and Xiao Yu and said with a smile, but no matter how you look at it, the smile is not good.

"Although we are all vassal kings, we are also the brothers of the emperor, and there is no doubt that we are courtiers.

Three days later, we must enter Jiankang and go to court. "

Xiao Xi said with a sigh of relief, agreeing wholeheartedly, without any hesitation.

"Well, then you can go back to Danyang and Guangling. There is no need to live in Jiankang so close, after all, you have to restrain your soldiers and horses."

Liu Yishou put away his smile and said solemnly.

"Uh, can I go to see my brother? I heard that the emperor is seriously ill, and we are very worried about his condition."

Xiao Xi pleaded earnestly, if he didn't know the inside story, he would really think he was a brother and friend by his appearance.

"The Son of Heaven has issued an edict, and no one will be seen these days. King Danyang, please go back."

Liu Yishou said coldly, not giving Xiao Xi a good look.In fact, in his eyes, Xiao Xie was nothing more than a maggot with great ambition and little talent, his feet would be dirty if trampled to death.If it wasn't for the deployment in the future, he wouldn't even bother to talk to Xiao Xie now.

"In that case, the king will take his leave."

Xiao Xi saluted Liu Yishou with a half-smile, and didn't want to continue pretending anymore.

When he and Xiao Yu disappeared from the field of vision, Liu Yishou said to Chen Yuankang: "Let's go, go back to Prince Wu's Mansion, it will be busy soon."

Looking into the distance, Liu Yishou seemed to see a dark cloud drifting over.

"The snowstorm is coming." Liu Yishou sighed.

"Yes, the snowstorm is coming. But, we not only have plenty of food and firewood, but also live in a big sturdy house, so why should we worry about the snowstorm?"

Chen Yuankang pointed very cryptically.

"Forget it, I'll go back to the mansion first, you can settle the affairs in the palace."

Liu Yishou responded casually in a moody mood, and led Hu Luxian and others directly towards the palace gate, without even saying hello to Yang Kan.

……

In the middle of the night, all the members of Liu Yishou's command gathered in the study of King Wu's Mansion. Not only Chen Yuankang and Wang Wei were present, but Cui Xian, Yang Min, Yang Zhong and others also came.Everyone knows that the three days before the emperor will issue the imperial edict are the key points that determine the overall situation.

In all fairness, Liu Yishou has an absolute advantage here, almost full of good cards.But for these old coins, they have endured it for too long, so naturally they don't mind bearing it for another three days, and they have to deploy everything in place.

The more critical the moment is, the more we must be steady and not waver!
"The emperor's fate is not long. After three days, he will abdicate and let the prince Xiao Dong inherit the throne."

Liu Yishou said to everyone in a deep voice.

"So, after three days, this country of Liang will be ours, right?"

Wang Wei said excitedly.

How long have they been waiting for this day!

Wang Wei wanted to scold in his heart.

When Liu Yishou entered Jiankang, Yuan Mingyue was sent to his courtyard.Now Yuan Mingyue is pregnant with her third child!How long have you been waiting for this horse!
"My lord is suspicious of the country, and my lord is a son-in-law, so it's time for another day. My lord, don't hesitate, let's make a decision."

Chen Yuankang cupped his hands and said.Although his face didn't look like he was about to explode with excitement like Wang Wei's, his attitude was very clear.

"My lord, if he is doing the things of the Zen era at this time, it will be too feminine and treacherous. The one who started it will have no heirs. The coup d'etat usurps the throne, and the foundation is bound to be unstable in the future. Now the lord has already controlled the overall situation, and he still has a lot of power to spare.

Now that there are no strong feudal clans inside and no strong enemies outside, there is no need to be so impatient, you can take it slowly.

This time the lord is in charge of the regent, and he has full control over the power, and it is enough to suppress the princes of all walks of life.When the Northern Expedition succeeds in the future, Heluo will be established as the capital, a new capital will be built, the central court of Jiankang will be elevated, and the power will be transferred to Luoyang in general.

By that time, no one cared about who controlled Jiankang, just like when Cao Wei established Yecheng as his capital and emptied Xudu.

This is the strategy for seeking the foundation of the world, I hope the lord will think twice! "

An extremely inappropriate voice sounded from the corner of the study.Everyone turned their heads and found that it was Liu Yishou's reporter, Mao Xi, who was speaking.

What are you barking at?What are you barking at?
You are a secretary who keeps records, and you can just write well. Who gave you the right to express your opinion on such a life-and-death matter?Shut up, please!

Wang Wei, Chen Yuankang and others glared at Mao Xi, and almost threw their shoes over.

"Amao is well said!"

Liu Yishou applauded Mao Xi and said, "Come here, let's talk about it carefully."

In fact, it's not that Mao Xi is smarter than others, it's just that his personal interests are not so closely related to this usurpation, so he can see it more clearly.

The old brothers who came to Nanliang with Liu Yishou desperately hoped to fight back to the north, return home in good clothes, and be the founding heroes of the country.So usurping the throne is necessary and urgent.

If you don't usurp the throne, how do you concentrate the power of the whole country to go to the Northern Expedition?

In particular, Chen Yuankang is still from Luoyang, and his childhood memories are almost all the scenery of Luoyang that was like a world of flowers.And Wang Wei started at the end of the year, and wanted to go back, but he had the mentality of "you loved and ignored me back then, but now I can't afford you".

The others, whether it's Yang Min or Cui Xian, they all have similar ideas.

But Mao Xi is a southerner and has lived in Liang Guo since he was born. He didn't have such an urgent emotion, so he saw clearly the pros and cons of gains and losses, and his mind was very clear.

"My lord, you will usurp the throne soon, which is something that everyone can think of and predict.

Now all the Huangkou children in Jiankang City know that the Xiao family will not grow up, and you must replace him.This time the emperor issued an edict, I am afraid that many people think that the lord forced the palace and forced the emperor to abdicate.

Three people become tigers, one mouth makes gold, and the accumulation destroys bones.

This is very detrimental to the reputation of the lord.

There was Sima Zhao in the past, and now there is a clan of Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu. The protagonist does not need to be associated with those people to compare himself.

Now we still have a lot of means, and we are in full control of the overall situation. There is no need to pull ourselves to the level of those people and rush to the top.

At that time, many people will rise up in the name of rebelling against the lord and restoring Xiao's rule. Although they can be dealt with, they will eventually affect the lord's plan. "

Mao Xi didn't mean that he disagreed with Liu Yishou's usurpation of the throne, he didn't have a good impression of the Xiao clan and he didn't have any feelings or nostalgia.

But when and how to usurp the throne, these details are very particular.

It's not that it's over by rushing Xiao Huan's lineage down.After all, usurping the throne is only the first step, and there is still such a big country of Liang for you to govern!At that time, a lot of bedbugs will jump out to rebel, don't you feel annoyed?
Not to mention anything else, if we usurp the throne now, Xiao Ji, who is far away in Shu, will definitely be the first to stand up for rebellion!If Xiao Ji colludes with those people in Guanzhong again, the consequences will be unimaginable!
As long as Xiao Huan's lineage is still in Jiankang Palace, then Liu Yishou will be a loyal minister and the protector of Liang Guo.No matter who it is, he can disagree in his heart, but on the surface, in terms of the procedure of the government order, he is tightly controlled by Liu Yishou's cronies!
Today, Liu Yishou's troops are the official army, and the vassal king's army is the rebel army. It's as simple and rude as that!
"Okay, what else?"

Liu Yishou took off the jade pendant around his waist, put it in Mao Xi's hand and encouraged him.

Seeing Liu Yishou's attitude, Mao Xi understood.

He pretended not to see the eyes of his colleagues who could eat people, and continued boldly: "Heluo, the source of China. When the Sima family was able to gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong after Yongjia's south crossing, and firmly suppressed the local gentry, he continued. It relies on the word orthodoxy.

What is orthodox?

To be ordered by the heavens, and to guard on behalf of the heavens, is orthodox.

After the Hetu Luoshu appeared in the world, the sages and all the people took it as a miracle given by God. Whether it was Fuxi in ancient times or the various schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period, all of them took Heluo as their roots and spread their branches and leaves. This is orthodox.

It can be seen from this that the Son of Heaven is the guardian of the people on behalf of the heavens, inheriting the will of heaven above and responding to the hearts of the people below. This is the way.

It's not that whoever steals the artifact can command the world.

Sima Shi pointed out that Luoshui broke his promise and became fat, blaspheming an artifact, and the world despises it.If the country is not right, the country will naturally be disadvantaged, and we must learn from the past as a warning. "

Mao Xi said a lot of convoluted things, and Chen Yuankang and others, who were originally disdainful, began to fall into deep thought.

In fact, Mao Xi's meaning is very clear: who owns the world does not depend on who will usurp the throne, the people in the world will listen to whom!In the past, there were broken rules in the south where whoever can usurp the throne should be the king. If the lord wants to jump out of this circle, he can't follow the old rules of the game, otherwise there will be endless troubles and harm to his descendants.

If you usurp the throne today, tomorrow there will be people under you who will follow your example and usurp the throne.In this way, isn't this endless?

The courtiers are unfaithful, the king is unrighteous, what is the foundation of the world?
Being able to survive for 20 years depends on character.

Look at the Southern Dynasties starting from Liu Yu, every time the dynasty changed, isn't that the case?That's why there is a convention that "the one who enters Jiankang is the king". Everyone is a thief, and no one is higher than the other.

Whoever enters Jiankang will be respected as the king.For others, just do whatever you want.

Isn't this the root of the corruption in the Southern Dynasties?

"If my lord regains Heluo and builds a new capital, it will definitely sweep away the decadent winds of the flies. If my lord takes back the place where the artifacts came into the world, and the place where the sages enlightened, wouldn't you be a new generation of emperors?

If the emperor does not come out, what will happen to the common people?At that time, who can object?Who dares to object?Heroes from all over the world will naturally join forces.

So for now, you might as well be patient for now, and use the Northern Expedition as the criterion to win people's hearts and attack dissidents.

Those who support the Lord's Northern Expedition are allies who can cooperate with them, and they can use their strength to make a big trend; those who do not support the Lord's Northern Expedition are those who prevent the Lord from becoming the emperor, even brothers and enemies.

After Xiao Dong succeeded to the throne, the lord announced the determination of the Northern Expedition to the world, that is, he had done what should be done.There are more, but superfluous, do not mention worth mentioning. "

After Mao Xi finished speaking in one breath, he felt his legs trembling.If he is not careful, he may be sent to a remote village by Liu Yishou to be a local official and idle away.

"Bo Wu's (Mao Xi's word) words are deeply in my heart, what do you think?"

Liu Yishou patted Mao Xi's shoulder and said.He couldn't help but feel: those who are obsessed with the authorities are clear to the bystanders, this sentence is really good.

"The lord is far-sighted, I will bow down!"

Everyone clasped their hands together and said that they were persuaded by Mao Xi.

"My lord, let's put aside the matter of the Chan Dynasty. In the court meeting three days later, if Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu force the palace, how will we deal with it?"

Wang Wei asked in a deep voice.This question was eye-catching, and everyone immediately jumped out of Mao Xi's high-level discussion just now, and moved to more realistic questions.

"Yang Zhong's department went south from Jiankang to Danyang, and set up defenses on the south side of the outer wall of Jiankang City. Transferred Peng Le from Hefei to Jingkou, and set up defenses at the river mouth on the opposite bank of Jingkou. Webster's navy crossed the river and blocked the river!"

Liu Yishou said coldly.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, this is to play Wendou!

With such an arrangement, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu didn't even have the courage to raise an army!Because Liu Yishou's army was like a dagger on their necks.Still playing a fart soldier!

Although this kind of arrangement cannot be carried out for years and months, it is not a big problem to block it for ten and a half months!
"If Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu don't want to die, they must honestly attend the court meeting in three days' time. Otherwise, no one will hear their grievances. Don't worry, they will definitely come in three days' time!"

Everyone nodded silently. In fact, according to their thinking, it seemed better to send troops directly to destroy these two vassal kings.Don't look at Xiao Xi's [-] soldiers and horses, and Xiao Yu's [-] soldiers and horses, but those numbers are only made up by counting all the farmers in the fief.

One-fifth of those who can really fight can be counted, even if Xiao Xie and others lead troops well!
As for the elite soldiers under Yang Zhong's command, they all went to the north to fight against Gao Huan's men and horses, and they were soldiers who have seen a lot of battles. There is no comparison between the two.

"My lord, if you don't want the kindness of a woman, it's better to cut the weeds and get rid of the roots. Just keep Xiao Huan's lineage."

Chen Yuankang stretched out his palm and made a slashing movement, Yang Zhong and others nodded in agreement.Liu Yishou made too much trouble, it would be better to kill those two feudal lords with one knife!

It's fun and easy.

"You guys, it's not enough to just kill people, you have to kill your heart!"

Liu Yishou said with a sigh.

If Xiao Jie and Xiao Yu were slaughtered at this juncture, would the world think that this was Liu Yishou's attempt to eradicate dissidents before he usurped the throne?Naturally, many people would think so.

Liu Yishou has better tactics to deal with them, so there is no need to go to war like this.More importantly, this move will stimulate the Xiao clan like Xiao Ji who is still watching from the sidelines for the time being.

If the Shu region openly rebelled, the Xiao clan in Guangzhou and other places would join forces for the "Northern Expedition", which would greatly affect Liu Yishou's energy for the Northern Expedition.

"However, if Xiao Xie and the others can't think about it, what if they want to mutiny?"

Wang Wei asked a question that no one knew how to answer.

……

Xiao Xi played tricks, he didn't bring the army back to Danyang, because it was too dangerous there, not only was there no danger to defend, there was even no way to escape.

He and Xiao Yu came to Guangling together to discuss the important matter of raising troops.

"Will it be too hasty to raise troops rashly now?"

Xiao Yu obviously had more military acumen than the ambitious and talented Xiao Xie, and raising troops in Guangling (Yangzhou) alone was tantamount to striking a stone with an egg.

"At the court meeting in three days, the emperor will announce to the world that we are plotting against you. Rather than arresting him with nothing, it is better to give it a go!"

Xiao Xi gritted his teeth and said, he didn't expect Xiao Huan to be poisoned to death!Now not only Liu Yishou won't let him go, I'm afraid it will be hard for Xiao Huan to let him go!
"We still have to go to the court meeting. We went to Jiankang Palace, in front of so many courtiers, as long as he doesn't admit to treason, Liu Yishou can't do anything to us. If he wants to usurp the throne, he can't ignore face. "

Xiao Yu maintained a rare calmness.

Xiao Xi also calmed down.

That's right, as long as he doesn't admit to being poisoned, who can prove that he did it?Those cakes are non-toxic, and the people who poisoned them were the palace officials who tested the poison at that time. Now those people have been executed, and there is no proof of death.

"Brother, do you mean we still have to go to court?"

"That's right, if you don't go to the court meeting, how can you accuse Liu Yishou of poisoning the emperor?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, but Xiao Xi was a little taken aback.He originally thought that his second brother could only fight wars, but he didn't expect that his mind was not so simple.

"So, that's fine."

Xiao Xi sighed, already understanding what he should do.
