Governor please stay

Chapter 560 Do You Know Martial Arts?

The son emperor Xiao Dong stopped crying soon, not because he didn't want to cry, but because he was frightened by Liu Yishou who came forward.

"This king was ordered by the late emperor to assist the government. All the civil and military ministers have something to say, and all the ministers have nothing to do."

Liu Yishou looked at everyone in the hall and said.

Tsk tsk, just after Xiao Huan abdicated, he became what Liu Yishou called "the first emperor".Many people in the hall thought of Liu Yu, the golden and iron horse back then.

I just don't know if he will go on a killing spree and kill the Xiao family.

"My minister has a book to play."

Yang Min came out and said.

"Yang Shangshu please."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said.

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that rice is as expensive as gold in a disaster year, and rice is not as good as grass in a good year. It is not new that rice is cheap and hurts farmers. It can be said that in a good year, the people will not enjoy the blessings of heaven.

Wei Chen implored to set up Changping warehouses in various parts of Liang State, and the Fengnian Center and the prefectures and counties would pay to buy grain at a fair price and store it in the warehouses.In the disaster year, the rice and grain in the warehouse were sold at a par price to stabilize the grain price.

Changpingcang was used as a military granary during the war, and soldiers and horses were stationed around it for dispatch. It was used for both military and civilian purposes, killing two birds with one stone. "

Faced with such a decision, neither Xiao Cha nor Xiao Yu knew what to say.

Oppose it, not to mention that I have no weight in the court, similar policies are all strategies to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and it seems that it does not hinder them.

Don't object, this strategy is obviously Liu Yishou's invitation to buy people's hearts, and it seems that he feels very unwilling to just watch the other party sit up.

After thinking and thinking, Xiao Jie and Xiao Yu chose to watch the scenery from the sidelines.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

Not only Liu Yishou's cronies, but also many "neutral factions" from the former Nanliang Center also stood up to support him.After several rounds of "big purges", the Jiankang Center was not only Liu Yishou's voice, but at least those hard-headed ones, such as He Chen and his like, were sent out to serve as officials in places outside the capital.

Therefore, as long as it is not a major event that hurts the muscles and bones, it can generally be passed during the court meeting.

Liu Yishou also needs some "neutral faction" to suppress his direct cronies, so as to prevent the state policy from becoming more biased and more radical.

Although these neutrals don't come up with any good ideas, and their governance is not satisfactory, they are all southerners and can serve as a "mirror".

"We also have the Changping Salt Policy, which can provide the funds needed to build the Changping Warehouse. I hope that it will be implemented together with the Changping Warehouse Policy and complement each other."

Yang Min continued.

"We will discuss it at the center later, and it can be implemented together with the strategy of Changping warehouse. Is there anyone else to play?"

Liu Yishou said lightly that Yan Ce cannot be discussed during the Great Court Meeting, and there must be a quarrel.

That's why it's good to control the government. Even if you don't promise everything, you can do what you want to do with some small routines.And economic policies can be used to put pressure on local tyrants.

This is an inherent advantage that local tyrants or warlords will never have.

"This is the law of reforming commercial taxation by Weichen, please take a look at it, King Wu."

Chen Yuankang stepped forward to hand over the memorial to the palace man, who then handed it over to Liu Yishou. The whole process was so fake and full of formulaic routines.

The national policy this time was the result of long-standing discussions among Liu Yishou's subordinates, and it was proposed at the Great Court Meeting, but it was just a formality.Not to mention whether there will be any objection, even if it is objected, it is useless.

But having said that, if we don't go through this formality, then these major reform measures will be "give and receive privately, and fly with dogs", which will be greatly reduced in terms of legal rationality.

Of course, the entire court is not a one-man show for Liu Yishou and his cronies, but a high-level national policy, even if you want to raise objections, you must be able to explain why.

In the era of Xiao Yan, the Jiankang center was full of mediocre talents, and Zhu Yi decided on big and small matters with one word, and the courtiers of the center were generally not good at governing the country.The few crooked melons and dates left today are just symbolic existence.

Sure enough, the other courtiers aside, they said that the two vassal kings, Xiao Cha and Xiao Yu, were ignorant in government affairs, and they had no idea what the strategy proposed by Liu Yishou and his cronies would produce.

Even if I want to object, I don't know where to start.

After all, whether it is setting up a permanent warehouse or changing the business tax law, understanding these national policies requires a certain level of political literacy and knowledge.From the perspective of power alone, it is impossible to see why.

These are obviously "super-class subjects" for Xiao Jie and Xiao Yu.

Listening to one specious "national policy" after another, Xiao Yu didn't know what he was thinking. Anyway, after hearing it, Xiao Yu felt drowsy. He stood in the Tai Chi Hall for two hours, and his ears were buzzing all the time. Humming, having no idea what other people are talking about.

No one called his name anyway, asked his opinion, let it be.

The court meeting lasted for two or three hours, and the decrees discussed in advance were played out one by one, and gradually came to an end.

The son emperor Xiao Dong was taken back to the palace to recuperate due to exhaustion and disappeared long ago. Although Liu Yishou stood some distance in front of the dragon chair, it was not much different from sitting on it.

One word, one word and one word!

Both Xiao Xie and Xiao Yu closed their eyes for a long time and almost fell asleep.

"King Wu, I have a book to play."

Yao Sengyuan, doctor of Tai Hospital, stood up and said.

Xiao Xie hadn't woken up yet, but Liu Yishou's heart tightened.

I thought this person would maintain a certain degree of neutrality, but I didn't expect that he would turn to him so thoroughly!

"Doctor Yao, please tell me."

Liu Yishou said with a smile on his tense face.

Yao Sengyuan patted the dust on his sleeves, and said seriously:
"The late emperor was forced to abdicate not because he was weak or sick, but because someone poisoned him!

The first emperor had to abdicate because his internal organs were damaged due to poisoning and he could not be a director.

The person who poisoned him was the first emperor's half-brother, the king of Danyang, Xiao Xie!
Xiao Xi!Do you dare to stand up and confront me! "

What a big melon!
The drowsy courtiers instantly felt relieved, especially Liu Yishou's cronies looked at Xiao Xi as if they were looking at a dead person.

"Ok?"

Xiao Xi, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly heard someone calling his name, and he shivered suddenly, looking around.But when he found that all the officials were looking at him, his heart sank, and he secretly cried out that it was not good.

"Where is the King of Danyang? Stand up and confront Imperial Physician Yao!"

Liu Yishou shouted.

Xiao Xi stepped forward bravely, bowed to Yao Sengyuan, his eyes wished to burst into flames.

Many people never think that what is wrong is themselves, not me, but the world.This is the case with Xiao Xi.

"Prince Danyang, this king asks you, Imperial Physician Yao accused you of poisoning and assassinating the late emperor, is there such a thing?"

Liu Yishou asked pretendingly, as if it was the first time he heard about it.

"This is slander. The first emperor is the elder brother of this king. Why does this king have any reason to do this?"

Xiao Qi argued strongly, poking his neck, but he looked a little out of breath.

"The Son of Heaven is fine, but after eating the pastry you sent, he became ill again. There are countless people in the palace who can testify. If it wasn't you who poisoned him, who else could it be?"

Yao Sengyuan pointed at Xiao Xi with a stern voice and said.

Xiao Xi never dreamed that Yao Sengyuan, a person who could have "clearly defended himself", would take the initiative to stand up and identify himself.Because the other party was the imperial physician who diagnosed Xiao Huan, his words were more convincing than Liu Yishou's.

If it were Liu Yishou who came to identify him, I'm afraid many courtiers would think it was a deliberate framing.

"The one who cleans himself up, this king has nothing to say. Presumably Imperial Physician Yao has inspected those cakes and found no poison. Otherwise, this king would not be able to stand here and speak."

Xiao Xi said confidently.

However, based on these words alone, Liu Yishou, who had watched more than 1000 episodes of Detective Conan in his previous life, knew that Xiao Xi was the murderer who poisoned him.

"Doctor Yao, what do you say?"

Liu Yishou asked Yao Sengyuan again.

"King Wu, I swear by Yao's family who practiced medicine for generations, that the late emperor was poisoned by someone, and the most suspected person is the king of Danyang, Xiao Xie.

Apart from him, Weichen couldn't think of anyone else who could be the murderer. "

Yao Sengyuan said firmly.

"Everyone, the crime of regicide is unforgivable. However, it is impossible to judge whether King Danyang really assassinated the late emperor based on the words of Imperial Physician Yao. What do you think?"

Liu Yishou is like a judge who enforces the law impartially, and his standpoint is very "objective".

"King Wu, there may be some groundless rumors. If this matter was really done by King Danyang, there must be clues left behind. If this matter was not done by King Danyang, I believe that there is justice in the universe, and he will be able to return his innocence.

Therefore, Weichen suggested that Cui Xian, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, lead a team to search Danyang Palace.He also dispatched a team of seasoned officials to stay in the Danyang Palace for a long time to investigate day and night, and he will certainly be able to restore the innocence of the Danyang King. "

Chen Yuankang came out, looked at Xiao Xi with a smile on his face and said.

But at this moment, Xiao Xi's mind went blank, and he, who was a guilty conscience, didn't know how to argue.

"Prince Danyang, according to Imperial Physician Yao's words, the first emperor was poisoned after eating the pastries you sent, I believe he will not talk about such things.

If you can prove your innocence, then speak up now.If not, then let the center send someone to search your mansion.What do you think when the real murderer is caught and the search for you is withdrawn? "

Liu Yishou looked at Xiao Xi and asked.

Xiao Xi was so frightened that his body went limp, but Xiao Yu who was beside him supported his arm.Xiao Yu nodded solemnly to Xiao Cha, signaling him not to act rashly in the court.

"Everything is obeyed by King Wu."

Xiao Xi lowered his head and said through gritted teeth.It's okay not to admit cowardice, there are Liu Yishou's people inside and outside the court, as long as a topic is drawn, it will be endless suppression.

If you know martial arts, then you are a prisoner; if you don't know martial arts, I will make you extremely happy!
Yao Sengyuan's finishing touch was brilliant, filling the last shortcoming of Liu Yishou's plan.The remaining thing is to slowly strangle and erase Xiao Xie.

If Xiao Cha rebelled, because Danyang is very close to Jiankang, he would be quickly extinguished when he raised an army; if Xiao Cha thought he was a dead pig, and Liu Yishou did whatever he wanted to investigate, he would be killed by tricks and tricks in the end.

Can the vassal princes of these years stand up to investigation?Either they have already rebelled, or they are preparing to rebel.

Taking a step back, even if Xiao Xi is perfectly fine, Liu Yishou can send someone to secretly throw a dragon robe or something in his study, or forge a "joint letter" colluding with the rebellion in Guangzhou.

The wall fell under everyone's push, what can Xiao Cha rely on to get out of trouble?
It is an invincible way to use the center of the imperial court to systematically suppress and suppress the vassal kings.The vassal king who lost the opportunity can only wait for death or defect.

As long as you ask the center to investigate, it means that you have lost the ability to protect yourself, and there is no essential difference between taking one step back and ten steps back.

"Since there is nothing else to start, let's leave the court. By the way, King Danyang, in order to cooperate with the court's investigation, please cooperate with your private army and transfer them away from the palace.

It's not that I don't believe you, but that the imperial court has its own rules, and you can't let yourself be willful. "

Liu Yishou looked at Xiao Xi and said with a smile.

Xiao Xie suddenly felt cold all over. He seemed to suddenly understand why his elder brother Xiao Huan left immediately after announcing his abdication, or why he announced his abdication as soon as the morning meeting started today!
Because everything Liu Yishou wanted to do was acquiesced by the other party, that is to say, it was not Liu Yishou's intention to deal with him alone.

Xiao Huan is weak and has always been regarded as a "good old man" and "inaction".Now Xiao Xi finally knows that once an "honest person" gets angry, he will take revenge.And it's fine if you don't make a move, it's a killer move once you make a move.

The court was dispersed, and many of the new laws and regulations that had a profound impact later were not taken seriously by the world at the moment.

What people paid attention to was only Xiao Huan's abdication, the son emperor Xiao Dong had completely become a puppet who couldn't even open his mouth, and Liu Yishou had completely emptied the Jiankang Center and turned it into his own speech hall.

And the settlement of the vassal kings from all walks of life seems to have been officially put on the agenda.

……

"My lord! My lord! Something serious happened!"

A few days later, Liu Yishou, who was fishing on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, heard Yuan Shikang's shout from afar.

"Tell me, what's the matter."

Just after making a nest, the fishes all ran away when they heard Yuan Shikang's cry.Liu Yishou asked with a slight frown.

"Xiao Xi rebelled in Danyang! General Yang has already gone to suppress the rebels, defeated the rebels, and besieged the Danyang Palace. Do you want to go to Danyang to persuade the Lord to surrender?"

Although Yuan Shikang shouted that something big happened, his face was full of joy.

"Understood, I won't go. You send someone to tell Xiao Xi to kill himself. His family and children will be deposed as ordinary people, and the court will not hold them accountable. Go."

Liu Yishou sighed softly, Xiao Cha was forced to rebel in the end, of course, there would be no good end for him if he didn't rebel, Liu Yishou had already prepared a luxurious meal for him.

What Xiao Huan promised at the beginning was not to kill everyone after leaving it for Xiao Xie, and now he has fulfilled his promise.

"My lord, you have to get rid of the roots when you cut the weeds."

Yuan Shikang suggested in a low voice.

"Forget it, I know it in my heart. If someone rebels against us in the future and pulls us down, it must be that we are acting against the law and will not be tolerated by the world.

For Xiao Xi's descendants, there is no more than one more, and no less than one less, let him go, God has the virtue of being good at life. "

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said casually.

There is no precedent for Zhao's orphans, but it depends on the specific situation.The Xiao Clan's family tree has deep roots. In history, the Tang Dynasty was still rejuvenated. It is not a descendant of Xiao Xi who can affect the overall situation.

On the contrary, maintaining one's own political reputation is a very important thing.The lesser of two evils, the descendants of Xiao Xie can only be spared.

"Well, my subordinates will keep an eye on this matter."

"Well, let's go."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly, the matter of Jiankang was settled, and it was time to take advantage of this opportunity to solve the big problem of Liang Guo's vassal kingship.
