Wei, Li, and Du came to the bank of the Yangtze River with their families to look for the predetermined ferry, but they saw that all the boats were locked in the harbor, and there were soldiers guarding them. What's going on? It's not dark night, the sky is already bright. Could it be that the weather is not right, and it is about to be windy and rainy? Look at the sky, the sky is clear, it's not like it......

Wei Zhan and Li Ju got out of the carriage and personally paced to the ferry to inquire - Du Yi did not move, his body was too weak, and he began to cough since he first got on the road, and everyone was worried that he might not be able to return to Guanzhong safely, so they forced him to rest in the car.

Summoning a small military officer guarding the harbor to come and ask. The military official saw that the two people opposite him were neatly dressed and wore scarves around their waists, knowing that they were the children of a large family, and at the same time they were also officials of a high rank, and they must not be able to afford to offend, so they hurriedly ran in front of him in three or two steps to salute, and then answered the question respectfully: "Shangguan has an order, and he will stop crossing in the near future, and he is not allowed to go to Jiangbei ......."

Wei Zhanyi frowned: "But why?" ”

The military official said that I don't know - "Or Yunqian Nu has the intention of going south to harass Xu Fang, or thieves are rampant in the north of Yunjiang, in short, in order to protect Jiankang and Antai, Pian Fan is not allowed to cross the river in the near future." ”

Li Ju glared and shouted: "Real nonsense! Although he refused to follow Pei to Jiangbei, there were often correspondence between the two, knowing that Pei should govern Xuzhou well - Yu Yin and Yu Bing also said so when they came back - how could there be a large number of thieves who could make Jiangnan have to hear the alarm? As for Shile, it is still 108,000 miles away from Huainan, even if he intends to go south, is it necessary to start guarding now?

The military officials did not dare to refute, but they bowed their hands again and again, repeatedly explaining that they were only guessing, and the specific reason was not clear.

Wei and Li glanced at each other, what did they mean: Either let's go back first and wait until we inquire clearly? But I finally came out for a trip, after all, I was unwilling - the means of transportation were backward in these years, and there were many cattle and few horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and there were female dependents and Du Yi who was not as good as the female dependents in the ranks, so it took half a day just to enter the south bank of the Yangtze River from their respective mansions, and if they returned, then don't think about going again today.

was hesitating, and suddenly a person stepped out from behind Wei Zhan, approached the little military official with a smile, and grabbed the other party's hand. The officer had just been taken aback - what kind of etiquette was this? Suddenly, I felt a cool hard object stuffed into the palm of my hand, and when I looked down and glanced at it, it turned out to be a string of yellow five-baht coins.

The man took the military official by the hand and went to the shelter to talk a few words, and then returned to report to Wei and Li - this person was not him, it was Pei Gai's brother Pei Si.

Pei Si is Shi Shu for Guanglu Xun after Pei Jun, his family originally lived in Luoyang, and later Nandu attached to the Wei family, followed the Wei family to find Pei Gai, which was regarded as recognizing the ancestor and returning to the sect. Pei Si and Pei Chang's father and son had no ambitions, they just wanted to be small landlords in Jiangnan, and Pei Gai didn't write a special letter to summon them - Pei Gai didn't take these two clans in his eyes at all - so he didn't leave, this time he was just ordered by Pei Shi, the concubine of the East China Sea, to send off the relatives of Wei, Li, and Du.

Pei Si may not be very shrewd, but because of his background - he almost failed to touch the light of Wenxi's family in the first half of his life, and he is better at dealing with middle and lower class people, so a string of "auspicious money" was stuffed over, and the military officials muttered for a while, and when he came back, he reported to Wei Zhan and Li Ju, saying the specific reason, and I finally inquired.

Pei Si had already sunk his face at this time, no longer the smile and banquet look of Fang Cai, he lowered his voice and said: "Recently, I heard that Pei and Zu Ergong have recovered the Central Plains, and there are overseas Chinese returning to the north one after another. Therefore, they got the order of King Langya a few days ago, and everyone was not allowed to cross the river. As for today, the piece of sail is not raised, I am afraid that it is specifically to hinder your family - your family is a brother after all (although he is older than Pei Gai, but he has always called Pei Gai a brother) relatives, it is inconvenient to stop it, so he simply locks the river and stops the crossing, wanting to make you know the difficulty and retreat......"

Li Ju said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, we have resigned from our posts in Jiangdong and only want to return to our hometown, how can we lock the river and block the practice?" This must be Yu Yuangui, and the king's order will be announced in vain! ”

——————————

In the Jiangzuo regime, Wang Dao Wang Maohong actually took power, and he was very famous, and everyone praised him for "seeking merit and serving the country wholeheartedly", and praised him as "Jiangzuo Guan Yiwu". However, the political environment in which Wang Dao lived was very complex and bad, and the struggles between overseas Chinese and the natives, as well as the various contradictions between overseas Chinese, between the natives, between the world, and between the civil and military, were all entangled and entangled like a mess. So once Director Wang does something wrong, or is considered to have done something wrong by a certain class, will the character collapse instantly? Not necessarily, because he found a good channel to channel hatred and pressure, that is-Yu Liang Yu Yuangui.

After all, the Yingchuan Yu clan is only a second-rate family, and there is no comparison with the Langya Wang clan at all, and Yu Liang himself is young and easy to act impulsively, plus he has a dead face all day long, and a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away, he is almost born with a physique that attracts hatred. In order to stabilize the Jiangzuo regime and balance the interests of the world, Yu Yuangui worked hard and worked hard, but it was useless, except for Wang, Zhou and other first-class high-ranking families, everyone will inevitably have a time when their interests are damaged, and once their interests are damaged, or it is just difficult to meet their extravagant expectations, they will naturally bypass Wang Maohong, and they will all be slandered by Yu Yuangui.

In the original history, about ten years later, Yu Liang was ordered to go to Wuhu to meet Wang Dun. Wang Chuzhong talked with him for a long time, and blurted out: "Yu Yuan Gui is far away from Pei Yuan!" It can be seen that there are two points: first, Yu Liang is really talented and wonderful; Second, no one can see this clearly without in-depth contact with him......

Therefore, in terms of Yu Liang's temperament and ability, he is a good assistant, but he is not the talent of the prime minister - it is too easy to make enemies - once the power exceeds the Wang Dao, it will inevitably bring disaster to the country. In the original history, fortunately, Wang Dao was able to reluctantly restrain him in the early stage, and it was Xi Jian's turn to pull his head in the later stage.

Pull back and say, in the eyes of Wei Zhan, a scholar who was isolated from the core of the Jiankang regime, although Director Wang didn't have to wait for me, he had always been polite, and he was willing to hand over the knots, Corporal Lixian, so he secretly slandered him, and he was wary of and suppressed me, it must be Yu Liang who didn't run away! As for the blocked river bank today, it must be Yu Liang's slander against King Langya that will carry out this evil government!

Li Ju jumped on the spot, planning to lead his family to directly kill the officers and soldiers guarding the ferry and rob the boat. Wei Zhan and Pei Si's father and son hurriedly stopped them, saying that we are still in Jiankang, and it is really not appropriate to act recklessly-we should think about it in the long run.

Several people turned around and came to Du Yi's car and called Du Anqing to discuss together. Pei Si suggested: "You can return to the concubine of the East China Sea, and ask her to pay tribute to the king of Langya, and go here to make trouble, so that you and the others can cross the river smoothly." Du Yi also said: "I should ask my sister to ask the king of Xiyang...... And if this matter is really caused by Yu Yuangui's slander, please ask the king of Xiyang to gather friends and friends and write a letter of impeachment, otherwise how can you relieve the hatred in our hearts?! ”

——————————

Everyone is willing to blame Yu Liang, but in fact, not all "evil politics" are his pot. However, Wei Zhan and the others guessed correctly this time, it was indeed Yu Yuangui who ordered the blockade of the ferry.

That night, Director Wang specially summoned Yu Liang into the mansion to discuss, saying that your move is not a good policy. Yu Liang smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Aside from this, is there a good plan?" ”

After a pause, he immediately analyzed it in detail to Director Wang: "I waited for the south to come to the south, and the road was blue, and we got today's situation, Yang, Jing, Jiang, Hunan and even Jiao and Guangzhou, roughly calmed down, and over time, we will be able to send a mighty army and recover the Central Plains in one fell swoop." However, before that, it is necessary to bridge the contradictions between overseas Chinese and indigenous people, so that they can work together to conspire with national affairs. The government of Jiankang, such as the scale, if it is heavy on one end, it will inevitably overturn. If it is not contained, I am afraid that the government decree will be chaotic and the strength will be greatly damaged......

Director Wang sighed and said that what you said is not wrong - "Recently, I have often heard that there are Jiangnan scholars: 'The Central Plains has been restored, and the overseas Chinese have not returned, and they are still drowning in the shelter, and they want me to provide for it?' In fact, he changed a few words in these words, and what the southerners originally said was: "The Central Plains has been restored, and the north has not returned, and they are still drowning in the shelter and plotting to rob me of food and clothing?" ”

However, Director Wang immediately said, this is also a helpless thing - "The fallen leaves return to the roots, everyone is homesick, common sense - doesn't Yuan Gui want to look at Yingchuan?" Just for us to receive the grace of the king of Langya, I want to ensure the stability of Jiangzuo, and I can't bear to carry it. However, there are many people in Nandu, not everyone may have a loyal heart, and not everyone may be favored by the king...... When they wanted to return, they allowed them to return. ”

Yu Liang said that this is not possible - "The so-called 'embankment of a thousand zhang collapses with the nest of ants; A hundred-foot room, burned with the smoke of the crack', if the family is allowed to return to the north, it is inevitable that a hundred schools of thought hesitated, and in time, that is, in the 'one hundred and two Peng', no one may breed delusions. When the time comes, the king will be empty in front of him, and the southern raccoon dog will take the opportunity to enter, and only a few people such as the prince and me will be powerless! ”

Director Wang thought for a while, suddenly changed the topic, and said to Yu Liang: "Yuan Gui, in the past, Pei and Zu made the Northern Expedition, did you ever expect that they would be able to recover Luoyang, and even go to the government of Chang'an?" ”

When Yu Liang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he had to smile slightly bitterly: "I never thought about ......"

Director Wang smiled: "I know the general trend of the world, and Fei Qing and I can control it as much as possible; The wise man of Unai is not what Qing and I can see-don't be overconfident. For example, if the ocean is unrestrained, who can know the direction of the eight winds? Although the south wind is now, it may soon become a north wind, and only by going with the wind, by the destiny of heaven, can we sail far, otherwise the ship will surely capsize.

"Now Pei and Zu have escaped from our grasp, the government of Chang'an is more stable, and the trend of growth and decline is so that it is not possible to rebel against manpower. If you rebel, it will not only be a disaster for the king, but it will not be a good thing for the king. ”

Yu Liang shook his head: "Even if you know that you can't do it, you have to do it, and if you don't do it now, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult." Leaning closer, he lowered his voice and said to Wang Dao: "The prince thinks, now that Pei Wenyue is in charge of the country, if we ask the Son of Heaven to edict and order the kings to return to the domain, how will we deal with it?" How can the king deal with himself? ”

When Director Wang heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked - "This is really something to worry about!" ”

Yu Liang said yes - "Today's Central Plains Shishu, half in Jiangdong, if we can slowly calm down and discipline them, so that they all return to the king, then Pei and Zu have nothing to do in the Central Plains." If they are allowed to return to the north, they will weaken themselves, and strengthen the power of Pei and Zu, arrest the court to get out of trouble, and have a solid foundation, how can they allow the king to stay in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time? In this way, we have waited for several years of work, all of which have turned into flowing water, and the king does not leave Jiankang, I am afraid that it will lead to disobedience to the order - in the past, Chang'an could not threaten Jiangzuo, and we can still be perfunctory, but today it may not be, if the overseas Chinese return to the north, the other day will be more dangerous - and if the king leaves Jiankang, I am afraid that there is only a risk of life.

"There is a word of arrogance, it should not be said, don't blame the prince - the Sima family's cannibalism, can we still see less?"

Director Wang lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

I heard Yu Liang continue: "Now the only way to stop the families from crossing north for the time being, send an envoy to Chang'an, and inquire about Pei Wenyue's intentions - Liang wishes to ask for his life for this." If Pei can allow the king to town Jiangnan for a long time, then he will give it back, otherwise the Nandu families will be hostages in our hands! Today, the army of the brothers is on the river, and the Hukou in the north has not been wiped out, and there are several families as hostages, then between a few years old, Pei and Zu will not dare to look at Jiangdong. We can then slowly accumulate and compete with it. Whether Jiang Zuo can protect himself, whether the king is safe, our ambitions are gained and lost, today is a time of danger - I have no choice but to make this decision, and I hope that the prince will not doubt it. ”

The two chatted until late, and Yu Liang finally persuaded Director Wang. But the most important thing is that Yu Liang expressed his position, saying: "The government and the opposition complain, Liang deserves it, the prince can pretend to be sick, he doesn't know the power, and he doesn't have to agree, just don't get in the way." When Director Wang heard him say everything about this, he couldn't help but sigh: "You Qing is." "Forget it, I don't care about it.

Yu Liang stood up, took a deep look, and said goodbye. He just went out with his front foot, and Wang Yue, the eldest son of Wang Dao, came out from behind the screen with his back foot, shook his father deeply, and asked, "Why is Daddy so indulgent Yu Yuangui?" Yu's move will summon the government and the opposition to look sideways, and cut down up and down, for fear of affecting Daddy. ”

Director Wang smiled slightly bitterly: "Yuan Guifang doesn't care about life and death, and is willing to risk the arrows and stones, I recommend the lord for him, how can I force him to retreat?" As he spoke, he sighed: "Alas, the Yuan Gui is rigid, and I don't know how to retreat when things happen, I honestly don't know what his death is......"

Over there, Yu Liang had just stepped out of the gate of the palace, and suddenly a carriage slowly galloped out of the shadows, and the people on the carriage shouted from afar: "Yu Yuangui? ”

"It's Yu Liang."

"The king has an edict, Yu Liang is overbearing, lock the river, take it immediately, and hand it over to the division for interrogation!"
