Chapter 153: Toast

"Your Majesty summoned me to Beijing, I don't know if I will be let back! If you don't go, you will be targeted, and if you go, you are afraid that you will be imprisoned..."

This thing is actually the same as the Hongmen Banquet, but not everyone is as lucky as Liu Bang+NB (not to mention that there is an Uncle Xiang who is a meat shield for him!) )

The prefect made an excuse to delay some time to discuss countermeasures.

"Do you know the story of Xiliang?" Lao Tongsheng dipped his index finger in tea and drew circles on the table, and with fennel beans, he was a living Kong Yiji.

"Not really."

"Then, the student will talk about it."

"In the middle of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Southern Liang in the Southern Dynasty was divided into two, divided into Jiangling (Western Liang), which occupied only a few hundred miles, and the Chen Dynasty, which occupied most of the area."

The Tu prefect didn't know what the Northern and Southern Dynasties were, let alone the Western Liang and Chen Dynasties, but he was still listening patiently.

"Xiliang is actually a subordinate of the Sui Dynasty, a bit like your lordship is a subordinate of Ava. When the Sui Dynasty wanted to annex Western Liang, it summoned the Emperor of Western Liang at that time, and then took over the land of Western Liang. Aren't adults afraid of repeating the story of Xiliang? ”

"Yuanjiang Mansion has a vast area, and high mountains and mountains can be seen everywhere, can the official army still stay for a long time? What's more, if someone sends a rogue official over, we can also set him up. "If you can say it directly, these toasts are "bold", if they are the officials sent by the imperial court, they may be waiting for them with a stick! But if you take the initiative to run outside the nest and pull the flag to make an anti-si, then you will only delay it for a week longer than Longgan.

The prefect looked at the master in front of him, who was pretending to be a lifter, and carefully thought about every word he said. He does not know the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, but he understands the history of Yunnan in the last few hundred years--- and the main theme is to try to change the land and return to the stream. Don't you see, the Yongchang Military and Civil Mansion was still Tusi before, but now? Therefore, the words of this scholar are quite reasonable.

However, do you have to master so many soldiers and so many people?

Power is for the sake of wealth after all. If it's only for power, not for wealth, is it okay to learn from the sky?

If it is simply an attempt to continue the wealth, there are many places to bargain, and force resistance is the least cost-effective, or even ancillary.

What the prefect didn't know was that the master of Xiliang only told half of the story. The latter half was that at that time, a few Western Liang royal families led people to the Chen Dynasty, but two years later, the Chen Dynasty was destroyed by the Sui Dynasty, and these people were taken to Chang'an to be beheaded.

Of course, he didn't know that this master not only gave him such advice, but also participated in the previous Longgan rebellion, and finally slipped away with a smear of oil on the soles of his feet. I don't know that the real identity of this person is a fine work sent by Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who went to the rear of the Ming court to make trouble, and his literati temperament is very popular in the Tusi in various places where culture and education are not thriving.

"I will seriously consider it, so let's ask Wang Juren to go down and rest."

Hyungge also knew that he would be annoyed if he kept talking, so he nodded and returned to the courtyard where he lived alone, called the maid and said that he wanted to take a bath.

"How's the reaction from the south?" After leaving Prince, the prefect asked his brother-in-law, who had been selling all the country's goods all year round, and that the warehouse was not only used for trade, but also as an intelligence station for collecting information on Burma.

"Brother-in-law," his brother-in-law pulled out a carefully folded newspaper. "This is a newspaper issued by the court over there in Ava, but this kind of newspaper is sold publicly."

"Oh? And this novelty? "The prefect saw the title at first sight, and his pupils twitched." When was this newspaper? ”

The prefect's brother-in-law pointed to the date, "Here's the date, it's a newspaper printed on May 15." ”

"This is already news more than ten days ago, and if there is a sudden attack, it will not be printed in the open newspaper to explicitly target the local official system..."

"But, if you want to force a rebellion... No, who would dare to oppose it now? ”

The prefect thought about it for a while, and quickly ordered his subordinates to set up the incense case and welcome the angel into the government to read the will.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: For the great plan of the imperial court, Liu Mengyuan, the prefect of the Yuanjiang Military and Civil Government, was summoned to meet in Ava. Chin this. ”

Liu Mengyuan kowtowed and accepted the will, and asked people to stuff silver to entertain him, and made up his mind to go to Ava. I felt that the master was getting more and more wrong. A man who did not know where he came from, when he saw it, was dressed in tatters, and had no servants...... Although Liu Mengyuan didn't know a lot, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Keep an eye on this guy and see what else he's going to do." Liu Mengyuan ordered to go down.

……

When Liu Mengyuan received the order to make a decision, the Tusi officials in other places also received the order one after another, and some broke out into fierce arguments within themselves, and finally said that they were sick and did not go, while others simply gave up on themselves and set off on the road.

At the same time, Li Dingguo finally received the will to return to Ava, freeing him from almost a year of tedious work. In this year, he went to the horse to govern the army and the people from the horse, and became the pillar of Yunnan. The pile-up of work made his health deteriorate a lot, but fortunately, the return trip was mainly spent on the ship, and there was no need for travel and horses. In order to prevent Li Dingguo from dying next year as in history, Zhu Youlang personally ordered to take out all kinds of high-quality materials and prepare them for use along the road with him. From ice cubes made from saltpeter to soap and towels that can only be produced in small batches, they are delivered to the ship as if they didn't cost money.

Li Dingguo stuck his head out of the window and put his hands in a bucket of ice, feeling the unprecedented coolness. He has been fighting horses all his life, fighting in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and he can not take a bath for days without bathing in armor in summer, how can he be so comfortable now?

Facing the lush two sides of the river, Li Dingguo let out a big breath from his lungs, only to feel full of pride and much better. The closer you get to Ava, the more popular the scenery becomes, with boxes piled high on the small pier and horse-drawn carts dragging supplies everywhere on both sides. Even the hard-working ones are much better than those in Kunming.

"I haven't seen it for a year, not only Ava has changed, but even the land of Wangji has begun to change, fortunately, there is this hero in Huaxia."

With admiration for the changes that have taken place over the past year, Li Dingguo stepped onto the docks of Ava City.

"The lower officials are ordered by His Majesty to welcome the return of King Jin." Wang Qinian, who has been promoted to the prefect of Ava, bowed respectfully to the King of Jin, and his respect for this former chief boss was a hundred sincerity.

"Welcome the ministers with the king, and the micro ministers dare not be ashamed." Li Dingguo bowed back in the direction of the palace.

"Ava recently came up with a new thing, Your Majesty asked Xia Guan to come this time, and also asked Xia Guan to take King Jin to try." After walking a few steps, Li Dingguo arrived next to a train that looked like a toy train of later generations.

"This, what's in front? Zhuge Wuhou's wooden ox flowing horse? Li Dingguo said in his heart that this horse is not wooden, but iron.
