Governor please stay

Chapter 470 In the Name of Justice

With full of doubts, Wang Gui and Xie Gu left Wu Wang Mansion on Jiming Mountain.Liu Yishou's meaning is already very clear. As long as he supports the Northern Expedition, Tuduan can be postponed. If he does not support the Northern Expedition, then he is sorry, and accepts the inspection without any discussion.

So what counts as "supporting the Northern Expedition"?Obviously, it is not just empty words, it should be reflected in actions.Specifically, it is nothing more than money, food and soldiers.

In short, not bloodletting is not acceptable.

Not long after the two left, Yuan Shikang came to report, saying that Wei An came to visit alone and was waiting outside the mansion.Liu Yishou understood and asked Yuan Shikang to lead him into the study for a secret talk.

"Brother Wu Zhi (cousin Wei An) came to visit today, why?"

Liu Yishou pretended to be confused and asked knowingly. In fact, even if Wei An didn't come, sooner or later he would have to go to the other party for a secret talk.

"Wu Wang, you don't have to be polite."

Wei An sighed, and continued: "This Qingxu battle, there is still a follow-up, what is King Wu's plan?"

"The location of Gao Ao Cao's troops is not conducive to defense. And now they can't break through the line between Pengcheng and Xiapi, and they are unwilling to retreat to Rencheng, Yanzhou and other places. Obviously they are waiting for reinforcements."

Liu Yishou put away his smile and continued, "I predict that in the fall and winter of this year, Gao Huan in the north will send troops to attack Pengcheng's flanks and attack aggressively."

Wei An is also a person who understands military affairs, so he can understand what's going on as soon as he hears it.

In Qingxu's situation, no matter which side it is, it is meaningless to continue to increase troops.The key to the dilemma lies in the "terrain", not in the number of troops.

Just like playing Go, it is meaningless to pile up a large number of chess pieces, and their position is the key to victory.

"Wu Wang said that Xuanhu, Matou County and other places are the key to breaking the situation for Wei Jun?" Wei An suddenly realized, the surprised expression was not fake.In fact, he already had some predictions about it.

Webster's family started from the fierce battle between the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, so the work of eating is naturally familiar.

"That's right, if Gao Huan knew how to fight, he could even cut off and swallow all the land north of the Huaihe River. If we don't deal with it properly, the risk of this war will be very high."

"how do I say this?"

Wei An asked suspiciously, feeling that Liu Yishou was a little alarmist.

The tug-of-war in the Lianghuai area is no longer a day or two.Unless the Liang army was in a crazy rout, the land north of the Huaihe River would never be lost for no reason.

"The state of Wei either doesn't send troops, or if it sends troops, it must advance across the board with a huge number of soldiers and horses. By combining right and wrong, the side with fewer troops will be stretched to the limit."

The term "surprise victory" has a limited scope.Not all wars will give you a chance to win by surprise.

The two circled around for a long time, Wei An didn't mention what Webster's private army was going to do, Liu Yishou also kept hinting that this battle was of great importance, and didn't mention what Webster's men should do.

That's how it goes on both sides.

Finally, Wei An couldn't help asking: "If the situation is already so dangerous, how does King Wu plan to deal with it?"

The problem went back to the beginning, which was Wei An's only purpose here.

"I want to write a letter to the emperor, issue an edict, and recruit prisoners into the army. After the war, I will pardon their crimes according to their military achievements."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

Wei An groaned and remained silent. Many people have done this in history. Zhang Han led Lishan prisoners, won 30 troops, and turned the tide. This incident is well-known.

But, what does this have to do with me?Or what does it have to do with Wechsler?

"Before, Wei Can and Wei Zai participated in the vassal rebellion and were imprisoned in Jiankang Palace. If the emperor can issue an edict to amnesty the world, they can also be exonerated. Of course, obeying orders and joining the army is inevitable."

Liu Yishou dropped another bombshell!
Wei Can, Wei Zai, and Wei An have no obligation to rescue them. Politically speaking, these two are already dead!Webster didn't need to use a lot of resources to do everything possible to rescue and clean it up.So they are still locked in the prison in Jiankang Palace.

However, if there is a good opportunity "just in time", the two people can be fished out, and the Wei family still hopes to vote.This is the same as many people go shopping.

When you see something suitable, you will start. It is impossible to make a special trip.

Rescuing Wei Can and Wei Zai has an inestimable effect on uniting the hearts of the family.As the leader of Webster, it is impossible for Wei An not to consider this.

Before the vassal rebellion, Webster deeply intervened and stood in the wrong team. He only went ashore at the last moment. His shoes and trousers were wet, so he could only see his face.At that time, Webster did not get much political interest.

On the contrary, Liu Yishou earned a lot of money, and all his cronies rose to heaven by themselves.

"The matter is of great importance. I will go back and discuss it with the tribe."

Wei An didn't say a word to listen to Liu Yishou's order, and took the private army to the land of Henan to plug the leak.But he believes that with the political wisdom of the other party, he will definitely understand all the meanings.

"If that's the case, then I'll trouble Brother Wu Zhi."

Liu Yishou clasped his sleeves together, bowed deeply to Wei An and said.

"Be it public or private, the Wei family should think about the significance of this battle. There will be no eggs under the overthrow. Hefei is too close to the Huaihe River. If Huaibei is not protected, Hefei will also be in danger."

Liu Yishou said earnestly.

"It's natural. It's getting late, and I have to rush back to discuss with the clan's children and leave."

Wei An saluted Liu Yishou politely, and then left the palace alone.

After he left, Liu Yishou stood up, paced in the study, and said to himself: "All the puzzle pieces are in place, but it always feels like something is missing. What is missing?"

He always felt that there seemed to be something missing, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Forget it, the working hours are over, now let's have fun."

Liu Yishou stretched his waist and said to himself.

……

In the middle of the night, the study room of Prince Wu's Mansion was pitch black with only a little light on the table.

Liu Yishou placed a thin wooden board in front of the lit candle, with a small hole dug on it.Then, not far from this thin wooden board, there is a wooden board of the same style, with two closely spaced gaps, each of which is long and thin, with the same length and width.

Behind this board is another thin board of the same style without openings.

At this moment, red bright and dark light spots appeared on this wooden board. They were long strips, the middle one was the widest, and the edge was the narrowest.

Like a ghost, Liu Yishou folded his arms and looked at everything in front of him, thoughtfully.

"Aaron, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yuzheng came in on tiptoe, seeing the strange scene in front of him, he couldn't help feeling terrified.

"Look, the light passes through two gaps, and there should be two light spots on the wooden board behind. But why are there many light spots with different thicknesses?"

Liu Yishou looked at Xiao Yujin and asked quietly.

"Uh... this concubine doesn't know about it!"

Xiao Yuzhen was dumbfounded. This question seemed simple, but she couldn't answer it at all, and it involved a blind spot of knowledge.And she also felt that Liu Yishou didn't know what to say when he asked this question.

"This is an experiment with photons. If electrons are used, two stripes will be measured with the observation port open. If the observation port is not opened, many stripes will be measured. The same thing, whether we look at it or not, is actually different. There are two results.

Does the world we perceive really exist? "

Liu Yishou hugged Xiao Yuheng's shoulders and muttered to himself.

These words, broken down into individual characters, Xiao Yuzhen knew, but together, it sounded like a baffling book without words.

"A Lang, are you alright, A Lang?"

Xiao Yujing hugged Liu Yishou's arm, crying so anxiously, these days, you can't find a good man like Liu Yishou even with a lantern, so what if you get dazed?
"I'm fine, I'm just feeling something."

Liu Yishou let out a long sigh, with endless desolation.

The beauty in front of others, the loneliness in the back, he has a lot of pain that he can't talk about, no one understands, no one talks about, no one resonates with.

Happiness varies from person to person, the most obvious and helpless truth in the world.

"Ah Lang, I see that we don't often live in this Prince Wu's Mansion, so there must be something evil. Why don't we let the eminent monks from Tongtai Temple come here to do religious rituals?"

Seeing Liu Yi guarding his soul but not his house, Xiao Yuzhen suddenly thought of a "coupling trick".

Liu Yishou was taken aback, then patted himself on the head and said, "Look at my memory, how could I forget these people. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, even everyone is responsible. How can the monks in those temples not be responsible? Woolen cloth!"

He danced happily, hugged Xiao Yuhang by the waist, kissed her ear and said: "Go, go to the bedroom, let my husband love you well."

"No, you are too fierce, every time I lose my strength..."

Xiao Yujing said coquettishly as if she wanted to refuse or welcome, but her hands were caressing Liu Yishou's face dishonestly.

"If you say no, your body is still very honest."

"Alang is too bad."

……

The urination of the aristocratic family is that if you don't put a knife on your neck, you will never compromise.

Sure enough, Wang Gui and Xie Gu came to visit again, bringing the results of internal discussions between Wang Xie and other big clans.

They agreed that Liu Yishou wanted too much. This year, Nanyang had a huge demand for food, and there was a war between Qing and Xu, so the price of food was astonishing.Now they are required to pay for food and money, and they still have to spend a lot of bloodletting, which is really unbearable.

Of course, the words were very tactful, Wang Gui and Xie Gu said that the major families could provide some grain and grass, but it would have to wait until after the autumn harvest.There is no other reason, the current food price is too high, and they are all making money.After the autumn harvest, the price of grain has dropped, and the grain and grass will be handed over at that time.

In short, discounting the total amount and procrastinating as long as possible is their countermeasure.

It made both Wang Gui and Xie Gu a little embarrassed!

These aristocratic families are betting that Liu Yishou will not dare to turn his face publicly at this moment!If they turn their backs, Jiankang and the south of the Sanwu area will fall into turmoil again.

"His Royal Highness, the current situation is like this. I am afraid that we will not be able to raise food and grass before the autumn harvest."

Xie Gu lowered his head and said, this errand was handled extremely poorly, which made his official career worrying.

But there is no way to worry. The aristocratic families in the Southern Dynasty, even if they are of the same clan, are another group of people in the local area. They are all responsible for their own profits and losses, and not all of them listen to them.

"This king is too impatient, I don't blame you."

Liu Yishou sighed and said, "That's it. You go back and tell those people that the handover of grain and grass can be postponed, but where they live, the grain and grass must still be handed over. And the government is not allowed to disturb the people and search for self-cultivated farmers and tenants.

If they can't produce it, I will ask the local government for it.If the local government can't come up with it, then I will naturally find a way, use some extraordinary means, right? "

You have to pay food and grass, but you can't search it, so where can you get it?
Xie Gu thought that Liu Yishou was just making trouble for no reason, so he was speechless for a while.The main reason is that at this juncture, messing around is useless.

"What if, I mean, what if some people plunder the food stored by local farmers and tenants?"

Wang Gui's mind is more flexible, and he cares more about Liu Yishou's implication.

Many people are in high positions, and they can also jump from "outsiders" to giants who control the core power of the Liang country. Why don't they leave a way for others when they make conditions?
"If someone commits a crime, the army under this king is not a vegetarian."

Liu Yishou sneered.

"Also ask King Wu to point out a clear path."

Xie Gu rolled up his sleeves, bowed and thanked.

The local government cannot get food and grass from the aristocratic family, so it must search for ordinary people.

However, if ordinary people are searched, they will be held accountable by the people sent to supervise by Jiankang.

At this time, the local officials and the aristocratic family have formed a life-and-death confrontational relationship, and the aristocratic family will inevitably make a small concession to allow the local government to explain to the Jiankang Center.Otherwise, if I kill you before I die, this kind of thing will definitely happen.

However, this operation is clearly not enough.Wang Gui could tell at a glance that there was something in Liu Yishou's words.

"480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, how many towers are in the mist and rain."

Liu Yishou sighed and said.

Wang Gui and Xie Gu are both smart people, seeing what Liu Yishou said, they also came to a conclusion.

"Wu Wang said, let the local temples provide food?"

Xie Gu rolled his eyes, and seemed to understand what Liu Yishou wanted to do.

"Pay attention to the wording. This king has never said such a thing. It's just that the local aristocratic family and the people are all eager for the Northern Expedition, but the Buddhist monks are indifferent. Isn't this unreasonable?"

Liu Yishou said slowly.

Some people don't want to hand over the food, but they have to hand over the food. Liu Yishou gave the big families several options.

The first option is to exploit the people and squeeze them to death.The consequence is that Liu Yishou will take this opportunity to clean up these aristocratic families and local officials, and replace them with his cronies.

Can the local aristocratic family be better off with a confidant?That is obviously impossible.

The second option is for the aristocratic family to provide food and grass, following Liu Yishou's wishes, similar to avoiding disasters by breaking the bank.But whose grain and grass are not brought by the waves, if the people of the local family are willing, why should Wang Gui and others come to discuss with Liu Yishou?

Obviously, there is nothing to discuss about the matter, so I sent someone to discuss it!

So Liu Yishou gave a third option: If the aristocratic family members feel that they have paid too much food and grass, they can attack the surrounding temples.

There is definitely a lot of food over there, and you can see that the monks are all shiny.Now the emperor of Liang is not Xiao Yan, and he will not be used to those temples.

After the temple is searched and cleaned up, and I make up the difference on my side, won't this game of chess be flexible?
Wang Gui and Xie Gu looked at each other, they both felt that this strategy was very good, it was tailor-made for the children of these aristocratic families who eat people and don't spit out their bones.

"In that case, I will go back and convey King Wu's intentions. I think it will not be a big problem."

Wang Gui saluted Liu Yishou respectfully. This was not a respect for the powerful King Wu, but a respect for Liu Yishou himself.This person is extremely intelligent and loves the common people. I dare not even think about how high he will be in the future.

He was determined to go back and persuade all the branches and houses of the family not to fight against this Dudu Liu, otherwise, he would definitely die a miserable death.

After Wang Gui and Wang Gui left, Liu Yishou stretched out one hand, squinted one eye to aim, and made a motion of shooting.

"In the name of justice... Sanction you!"

　Make up for yesterday, there will be more later today
