Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 385
After entering the courtyard, servants had already prepared wine and food, and all the people sat at the table to drink.After half an hour, Chu Jiye and others got up and left the table to attend to their own affairs. Shen Ke also left to prepare the materials Shen Zhezi needed.

Before the dinner was dismissed, someone from the Empress Dowager's garden had already come here, and told Shen Zhezi the order of the Empress Dowager: "The son-in-law has worked hard in the east, so don't rush to see him, and don't have to socialize too much. Rest early and keep your spirits up."

Although it was just some ordinary nagging, it can also be seen from this that the empress dowager cared more and more for her son-in-law.

Seeing the empress dowager's attitude towards Shen Zhezi revealed, Yu Yi couldn't help but feel a little sour.Last time, because the fourth younger brother Yu Bing made a slip of the tongue in front of the empress dowager, the empress dowager was depressed for a long time, and she was also a little indifferent to them, mother brothers, not to mention Shen Zhezi who was so eager to greet her.

This is also one of the reasons for Yu Yi's distress recently. He thinks that he doesn't have the reputation and talent like his elder brother, and his family has indeed committed a crime. If he loses the empress dowager's trust again, his future will be even more worrying.Even if the Empress Dowager is still well aware of the principle of prosperity for all, she is afraid that in the future, someone will make a fuss about it in front of the Empress Dowager for a long time, accumulating money and destroying it, which may make the Empress Dowager even more alienated from her mother's family.

Now that Shen Zhezi has won the favor of the Empress Dowager with his amazing performance, it is also a great thing for them.At the very least, if others want to alienate, it is impossible to use the name of the Empress Dowager to stir up trouble.

After the meal, several people moved to another quiet room, and when the servants brought tea, Yu Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Wei Zhou came back to Jingkou at this time of year, so I feel relieved."

Yu Yi, who was next to him, added: "Recently there are rumors in Jingkou that besides the rumor that Mr. Tao is going to attack, there are also people clamoring that the second brother should take the blame and leave. These people are really, really..."

"It's reasonable to take the blame and retreat, but it's not a good time right now. If the Empress Dowager and King Langya can return to the capital smoothly, how dare I covet the power of the central government."

Yu Yi's expression was gloomy. Although they had already planned for the post-rebellion arrangement, when he thought of leaving the central center, the contact with the empress dowager would become increasingly estranged, and it would be much more difficult to return to the capital in the future. His mood was also Extremely heavy.

"Duke Wen has done a great job this time, and he has decided to return to the capital. Neither the Taibao nor Duke Tao has any objections, and he prefers Duke Wen to take over the Shangshu."

During the banquet, Shen Zhezi talked to Yu Yi about the latest consensus reached in Jiankang. If there is no accident, it is already certain that Wen Qiaogui will take over as Shangshuling.To reach this consensus, it took a long time to test each other, and Shen Zhezi had also seen Director Wang's method of hiding a needle in a thread.

When there was a preliminary intention between each other, refusing to move the capital was no longer Wang Dao's wish alone, but became something that all parties in Jiankang had to work hard for.Director Wang resolutely rejected Wen Qiao and Shen Zhezi's proposal that Zhong Ya take over as governor of Jiangzhou, saying that such an important town would not be decided until Xingtai returned to the capital.It was obvious that Director Wang was tempted by the governor of Jiangzhou who was rarely free.

And Tao Kan's idea of ​​gradually transferring the power of the Jingzhou army to his descendants has not been accomplished. The power of the Jingzhou army can be roughly divided into four parts. , the third is Han Mian centered on Xiangyang, and the fourth is Western Henan centered on Jiangxia.

Originally, Tao Kan's plan was to leave both Captain Nanman and Prime Minister Jiang Xia to his nephews. With such an arrangement, it would not be too abrupt for his children to take over Jingzhou in the future.But since this touched Wang Dao's bottom line, Shen Zhezi and the others would definitely not be happy.Before Wen Qiao returned to the capital, they were deadlocked over this issue.

However, the situation changed after Wen Qiao entered the capital, because he was determined to return to the capital, and he also needed to make arrangements for his Jiangzhou tribe.Under the lead of Shen Zhezi, Director Wang joined forces with Wen Qiao to withdraw Jiang Xiaxiang's position from Tao Kan, and transferred it to Wen Qiao's general, Wang Qianqi.With this cooperation, in the future, when Director Wang wants to enter Wangjiang Prefecture, Wen Qiao will naturally not be able to obstruct it.

However, Tao Kan was not without gains. The Nanman Captain he was also in charge of was transferred to his nephew Tao Zhen. Impact.At the same time, one son, Tao Cheng, was assigned to supervise the military in Mianzhong. As long as Tao Kan could regain Xiangyang, he would be able to take Han Mian into his arms.

As for Shen Zhezi, although Zhong Ya did not win the position of Jiangzhou governor, it was not completely fruitless.Some arrangements in Jiangbei proposed by Shen Zhezi himself, as well as the missions of Shen Ke and others, were all approved, and also won the position of Danyang Yin for Chu Jiye's cousin Chu Yi.

Such an arrangement can be described as criss-crossed, and no one can dominate.To be honest, even if Shen Zhezi was in the position of Director Wang, it would be impossible to arrange everything so comprehensively.Moreover, the division of meat presided over by Director Wang this time especially reminded Shen Zhezi of a fable about a fox dividing cakes. Cake squeezed out!
It's not that Shen Zhezi has no idea about Jiangzhou, otherwise he wouldn't have proposed Zhong Ya to take over.To be honest, Zhong Ya was already the best candidate they could choose, but in fact, his qualifications and reputation were still a bit low.

After Yu Yi withdrew from the center, if he forced himself to live in Jiangzhou, he would most likely be squeezed out by Tao Kan in the future, so it is better to retreat to Yuzhou, which is more secure.In the west, there is Wang Qianqi in Jiangxia as a buffer with Jingzhou, and in the east, it can echo with Wenqiao in Taichung, and at the same time serve as a follow-up supplement for Jiangbei personnel.

As for his father, Shen Chong, he is enough to serve as the governor of Jiangzhou, but now that East Yangzhou is newly established, and the political ecology is still unstable, it is impossible for Shen Chong to abandon his old nest and run Jiangzhou from scratch.

In the final analysis, although Jiangzhou is also a strategically important town, it can only play its greatest role under the situation of turmoil in Jiangdong and Jing Yang's hedging.This chaotic incident can be said to have relieved many too sharp contradictions. In the future, the situation in Jiangdong will definitely maintain a period of seeking common ground while reserving differences and mutual compromise, no matter which side will be unable to fight.

So Jiangzhou's piece of fat is really too much to swallow right now, and he can't force it, which will only increase his troubles.To be honest, in fact, Shen Zhezi is more willing to put Xijian in Jiangzhou, so as to free up a blank space in Jiangbei, and gradually operate and infiltrate.But he also knew that this was just a fantasy. It was impossible for Xi Jian to come back to Jiangbei after all.

In short, Jiangzhou is just a piece of chicken breast in Shen Zhezi's eyes. It looks plump and tasteless to chew. At least for now, there is no idea that it is inevitable.Temporarily giving up Jiangzhou can also break the entanglement in Jingkou in the shortest possible time.

The reason why Wang Bin dared to be active and noisy in Jingkou is nothing more than two reasons, one is Wang Shu and the other is Xi Jian.Wang Shu's purpose is very simple, that is, he is not satisfied with the current embarrassing situation, as long as he is given a better choice, there is absolutely no need for him to entangle here.

And Xi Jian's thoughts are also easy to understand. This man is determined to die in Guangling and not move his nest anymore, so he needs to exert a stronger influence on Jingkou, so as to obtain a more stable rear.Now that these Qingxu families dare to make many arrangements in Jingkou, it should be more of the military guarantee provided by Xi Jian, and this gentleman needs to use this to extend his influence across the river again.

If the piece of fat in Jiangzhou lured Wang Shu away, then the situation in Jingkou would be much easier to handle.Wang Shu's stay here is actually acting as a glue, temporarily bonding the forces of Qingxu Qiaomen and Xi Jian in Jiangbei into a seemingly huge whole.

But if Wang Shu left, it would be difficult for Wang Bin to handle such a complicated situation alone.At that time, it will either be lured or threatened, and it will be disintegrated, and there will be no danger.Xi Jian was driven to Guangling back then, but now Shen Zhezi can still keep him in Jiangbei.

After listening to Shen Zhezi's narration, Yu Yi suddenly became enlightened. Earlier, he was most worried that he would not be able to withstand waves of opposition from Jingkou, and he would be kicked out of the game before the platform was removed.If the question of whether to move the capital is not resolved, even if he succeeds in obtaining Yuzhou, most of the meaning will be lost.

But right now, Jiankang has reached a reconciliation and consensus, and the Jingkou side is likely to be lured away, so returning to Jiankang is a foregone conclusion.And his position has already been arranged, so there is really nothing to worry about.

"The news brought by Wei Zhou really cleared away the gloom in my heart. Later, I will invite Wang Zhongjun to come to the stage to discuss this matter together. The welcoming army is about to arrive, and Wang Zhongjun should also know the current general trend."

The blocks piled up in his heart were disintegrated, and Yu Yi's mood could be described as uplifting.Although most of Yuzhou has been lost right now, even if he goes west, the place he can command is only around Liyang, but the world is not static.If you try your best, you can swallow Wu.He has worked hard in Liyang, and he may not be able to recover in the future!

Compared with Yu Yi's uplifting, Yu Yi is inevitably a little bit disappointed.The arrangement of the situation in the future has been determined, but there is still no place for him in the current situation. This is really a rare joy for Yu Yi, who is eager to make achievements.Earlier, the eldest brother was in full swing, and he was delayed again and again for his appointment.Now even if the second brother is in charge of Yuzhou, it is impossible to directly promote him regardless of material opinions.If he just entered the court as a clean official, this is really not what he wants.

Shen Zhezi glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Young uncle, don't hesitate, even if Xingtai is withdrawn, Jingkou will definitely be in great order, and it is hard to say no to abandoning it. The great cause is connected with things, and if my uncle can guard here, it can be said that it is a good thing should."

Yu Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this.His current problem is that he has almost no qualifications, and it is difficult to win an actual position. However, Dayeguan is just a position with a humble position, and it is really one of the few good choices for him.He forced himself to suppress his joy and turned to look at Yu Yi, and asked tentatively, "Second brother, is it okay?"

Yu Yi is not as stern as his elder brother, and he is lonely at the moment. Yu Yi stayed in Jingkou to help him and missed the opportunity to make great achievements. He also wanted to make up for it. There is no reason to refuse. : "This is just a trivial matter, but Daye Pass is the barrier of Jingkou. If you make a mistake in your position, come and see me yourself!"

"Second brother, don't worry, I will definitely do my duty!"

Finally won a satisfactory position for himself, and Yu Yi also smiled.

Shen Zhezi thought of arranging Yu Yi at Daye Pass, so he must make the best use of each other.The Daye Pass was built by him alone, strangling the connection between Jingkou and Jiankang, it is impossible to hand it over to others.Moreover, with the peace of the war, it is impossible for his family to store too much force in Jingkou for a long time. Only by operating Dayeguan can the deterrence of force be maintained.

The cousins ​​of his family, like Shen Mu, have already done a lot of meritorious service, and they will be sent to further front-line positions for training in the future.Dayeguan can just be used as a novice village, handed over to successors who are proficient in military affairs and have mixed qualifications.

Before I knew it, it was already dark.Seeing that Shen Zhezi's face was full of sleepiness, Yu Yi no longer insisted on staying, and even ordered someone to send Shen Zhezi back to his family's residence in the manor.
