At that time, the governor of Jingzhou had already hired many famous craftsmen in Jingzhou and gathered thousands of workers, set a deadline to start the overall demolition and reconstruction of the street, and the general reconstruction plan was almost ready, just waiting for the day to start closing the road and starting construction.

However, an edict from the emperor of Jinling City completely put the plan of the Jingzhou governor on hold.

The governor of Jingzhou did not understand why the reconstruction of this street would be sternly rejected by Jinling, so at that time, the governor of Jingzhou sent several letters to Shangshutai, and the Shangshutai consulted and passed on to the emperor.

In those letters, although he was a courtier, and his temperament has always been very gentle and elegant, but the wording in the letter was more explicit than a letter.

As an old minister of the Three Dynasties, coupled with the great reputation he had made in the Ministry of Rites of the Nanli Empire in the past, he was not so groveling to the emperor that he had not been on the throne for a long time.

When your Lao Tzu was in power and your grandfather was in power, the old man was not like a slave, you are a new king, this kind of trivial matter, the old man wants to see it, how do you deal with it.

The reply behind is also very simple, the emperor invited Feng Buping, Feng Buping directly descended on Jiangling City, found the Jingzhou Governor, and talked with the Jingzhou Governor for one night, and the next day the Jingzhou Governor announced the cancellation of the plan to rebuild the street.

What did the two talk about that night, and so far the governor of Jingzhou has not confided a word to outsiders.

Outsiders only know that the new monarch directly invited the Sword Saint to come to Jiangling City in person, forcing the Jingzhou Governor to stop the plan to rebuild the street, of course, after this rumor came out, the Jingzhou Governor did not have any denial meaning, so in the eyes of outsiders, this is also a silent acquiescence of the Jingzhou Governor, so this rumor slowly made outsiders think that this is the real truth, and the truth is that the new monarch invited the Sword Saint to forcibly persecute the Jingzhou Governor, not the so-called night talk between the two.

In his opinion, although the Sword Saint Lord's conversation with him that night was not coercive, even the sympathy shown between the Sword Saint and him was even more obvious.

In short, what the Sword Saint said to him, he will always remember in his heart, this matter, as long as he knows the reason, it is enough, how outsiders comment on how to view this matter, then he does not need to intervene.

But for the sympathy of Lord Sword Saint, Jingzhou Governor received it, but the dissatisfaction with the Emperor began to be deeply planted in his heart at that time like a seed and began to sprout and grow.

This is why later, Emperor Lihui divided a huge Jingzhou into five, divided into four major regions, and only handed over Jiangling City, including the area near Jiangling City, to him to govern, nominally a state pastor, but what is the difference between the actual authority and a city Taishou?

At most, it is because of the prosperity of Gangneung City, which makes the authority of this Taishou even more covetous.

But at that time, Emperor Li, who weakened the power of his state pastor, had almost secured that position, and the words that the Sword Saint Feng had told him at night also made Jingzhou Zhou Mu forcibly pretend to be happy to show his agreement to divide Jingzhou into five.

It is not even any objection and dissatisfaction, because the current emperor does not have to care about him as an old minister of the three dynasties, after all, he has never mastered the slightest military power in his hands from beginning to end, and has long been away from the Jinling political circle for many years, those friends who drank with him in the past will not risk offending the emperor at this time to help him with righteousness, if the Jingzhou Prefecture Pastor is not satisfied with the arrangement of this matter, maybe those friends in the past, will also fall into trouble for him in this matter.

After all, even if he is the governor of Jingzhou who has weakened his authority, he still has such a prosperous companion as Jiangling City in his hands, who doesn't covet such a position?

There are many people who want to overthrow him and put him in his place.

Therefore, the Jingzhou Governor ordered the guests he had recruited over the years to walk around the Nanli Place, saying that he was very satisfied with the Jingzhou Governor and raised his hands in favor of the Emperor's edict to divide Jingzhou into five, saying that in this way, he would be more convenient to manage Jingzhou, and he could rest assured that Jiangling City would develop more prosperously, and he could work hard to restore Jiangling City to the prosperous times of a thousand years ago.

If this move continues, even if it is completely confirmed, Jingzhou Prefecture Pastor will become the only special example of having five governors among the thirteen states in Nanli from now on, of course, among these five governors, Jingzhou Governor still nominally leads the entire Jingzhou, but this is only nominal, if Jingzhou Governor wants to meddle in the four regions, it is absolutely impossible.

However, although the matter was completely confirmed, this move also made Emperor Lidi have no way to take him and make a follow-up move.

Because the governor of Jingzhou had already seen it, after he thought calmly for a while, he noticed the murderous motive hidden behind this matter.

If nothing else, Emperor Lili probably wanted to weaken his authority as the governor of Jingzhou through Mingli, and actually wanted to use this to drive him out of the position of state pastor.

Because in the early years, because of the trivial matter of rebuilding the street, he was able to stand up with Emperor Li, which caused a storm in Nanli at that time, so that many officials everywhere had some doubts about the majesty of the new monarch who had not yet established, after all, this was not long after he ascended the throne, and in a trivial matter that seemed trivial to them, he had a quarrel with a feudal official.

It is estimated that it is because of this incident that in the eyes of this departing emperor, his temperament is not as gentle and elegant as rumored, so he wants to nominally place an edict on the governor of Jingzhou to see how he reacts, and whether he will start arguing with him again.

The current Emperor Lidi is no longer worthy of a state pastor, and there is no need to ask the Sword Saint Feng to come forward to help solve this matter because of this kind of thing.

Therefore, as long as the governor of Jingzhou shows some rebellion, Emperor Li can take this opportunity to demote him and exile, in short, let him roll down from the position of the governor of Jingzhou, in this way, it is convenient for Emperor Li to recount the prestige that was lost back then, and it can also allow Emperor Li to hand over the position of Jingzhou Governor to his cronies.

After all, Jiangling City, the accompanying capital, is not far from Jinling, and Jingzhou is also regarded as the rear supply place of the southern empire, so the strategic significance is very important.

However, Emperor Li underestimated and underestimated this Jingzhou Governor, who was once also a generation of handsome men, this kind of shoddy strategy, coupled with the fact that the Jingzhou Governor at that time had already been sobered up by the words that Feng Buping said to him, and he easily saw through the true intentions of Emperor Li.

But after seeing through it, there was no countermeasure, and the governor of Jingzhou could only skillfully turn this originally dangerous killing move into an edict that weakened his authority, and was forced to abandon the governance rights of a large area of Jingzhou, including the camp of the Jingzhou naval army.

Yes, he has not mastered a single soldier in his reign, nor has he controlled the Jingzhou Navy in his own hands, but the generals in the Jingzhou Navy still listen to his words as a state pastor, as long as he is willing, and the requirements are not too much, he can still temporarily command the extremely powerful water army in Jingzhou for a while.

The strength of the Jingzhou Navy and the influence of the Nanli Empire's Navy naturally made Emperor Li's jealousy of this Jingzhou Governor more and more heavy, so although the killing move was cracked, it was inevitable to weaken the authority.

The Jingzhou Navy was split, and a large number of young generals from Jinling flooded the original Jingzhou Navy Army, and the influence of Jingzhou Mu in the hearts of the Jingzhou Navy slowly faded.

A Jingzhou, the largest territory in the south, the largest state in the thirteen states, in the city that Jingzhou can radiate, but only Jiangling City remains.

The governors of the four regions were also named the four of them as the history of Jingzhou by the name of the emperor.

Naturally, these four Jingzhou assassins are the cronies from the side of the emperor.

The task assigned to them by Emperor Li was to limit the scope of power of the Jingzhou Prefecture Pastor to Jiangling City, and more importantly, to supervise every move of the Jingzhou Prefecture Pastor at all times, as well as the movements of the three generals who were idle in Jiangling City.

Jingzhou Prefecture Mu naturally saw the purpose of these four assassins coming here, and he had nothing to do about it, so he could only smile and hold a reception banquet for these four colleagues, and after drinking with these four assassins, he sent his personal guards to send these four to his jurisdiction safely.

In the years that followed, the governor of Jingzhou consciously no longer accepted and managed any Jingzhou affairs except Jiangling City, just like the old monk was determined, and An An stayed in Jiangling City to govern his one-third of an acre.

This kind of attitude even made the four Jingzhou assassins feel a little guilty about their actions of coming to share the authority of the state pastor, and the other party's hard-working and resentful appearance was clearly bullied by them, and they didn't care about it at all.

What's more, the four of them are not the ones who became His Majesty's cronies by patting on the back, and the four of them are also young talents with real talents and learning.

Yes, the power held by this Jingzhou governor and the influence on the Jingzhou naval army made His Majesty feel jealous, and they could also understand the thoughts of their own monarch, so they took over this errand, after all, even if this Jingzhou governor was removed from his position, the worst end would be to go back to Jinling to be an idle official in an idle yamen, and he could also have a calm all day long.

However, this one didn't have any dislike for them now, this one simply ceded most of the power of Jingzhou to them, and he only stayed in Jiangling City, and he didn't care about the Jingzhou Navy since the four of them arrived.

This, how could such an old man do something unfavorable to Nanli, in their opinion, this old man is a true and loyal minister, Your Majesty's suspicion of Lord Zhou Mu is really a bit excessive.

After they had this idea, they also privately signed a joint letter to inform the emperor of what they thought and what they saw.

It's just that the emperor's reply is still cold.
