Li Yue originally thought that Wen Bin had only invited himself, but when he arrived at the palace of Wu'an County, he found that the main battle faction bosses in Lin'an seemed to be getting better, and they came one after another, so it was not lively.

In the cool hall in the palace, Li Yue looked at the people sitting there, Wang Wenbin of Wu'an County, Zhang Qi on the right, and Zhu Kongyang, the priest of the country, were all the core bosses of the main battle faction.

He is really a small character who can't be smaller, but next to Zhang Qi sat a young man of the same age as himself with a clean face.

Zhang Qi saw Li Yue's curious gaze, so he introduced: "This is the grandson of King Zhong, Liu Xi, Chaofenglang." ”

"It turned out to be a famous family, disrespectful! Disrespectful! Li Yue hugged his fists and saluted, he has now understood the history of the Great Liang Dynasty to the point of being inseparable.

King Xin is Liu Jie, one of the three generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Liang Dynasty, who was named the king of Xin'an County in the 22nd year of Xingguo, died of illness in 30 years, and was posthumously crowned King Zhong. The son Liu Ting took over his reins in Sichuan, and Liu Xi was Liu Ting's eldest son.

Liu Xi bowed his hand and saluted: "I invite Lang to learn five cars, and he has more talents who have passed through the heavens and latitudes, and he has been admired for a long time, and he can see him today, and Liu Mou is fortunate to have three lives!" ”

Liu Xi's somewhat sensual flattery made Li Yue a little fluttering, and he replied happily: "Brother Liu is too famous!" ”

"I have a successor to the beam, the Central Plains is hopeful, and the Sheji Zhongxing is hopeful!"

Zhang Qi's words were tantamount to praising Li Yue and Liu Xi, and they were all happy, and everyone continued to chat.

The wine on the table is all old wine, and the dishes are all fine food. But obviously everyone is drunk, and they don't mean to drink, so after a few hasty bites, the topic shifted to today's court situation.

Zhang Qi was the first to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, the will to restore the saint is very sharp today, and it is the time for my generation to make great achievements. According to the old man's opinion, the three governor's offices of Jianghuai, Jinghu and Sichuan can be reset. ”

After the change of Dingjing, the Great Liang court moved south, and the battle line with Beiyou was mainly the three places that Zhang Qi just mentioned. In that year, Liu Jie guarded Chengdu, Zong Peng guarded Xiangyang, Wenbin guarded Yangzhou, and in the eleventh year of rejuvenation, the three-way army came out together, and the fourth prince of Youguo, Qi Ge, was defeated again and again. It's a pity that the emperor at that time, Zhu Gaoyan, was bent on seeking peace, which made the Northern Expedition of Xingguo fall short

After the peace was discussed, the imperial court transferred three major generals to the court, Wen Bin and Liu Jie served as privy envoys, and Zong Peng served as privy deputy envoys; and abolished the three major metropolitan governors, and the elites under the command of the three generals were all transferred to Lin'an and organized as the five holy armies guarding the capital. It is subordinate to the Imperial Front Camp Division.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Zhu Gaoyan's method of emphasizing literature and ignoring martial arts, and strengthening cadres and weak branches when he played Liang Taizu. The three major generals will be promoted to their positions and secretly seize their power. The imperial court, established by the soldier Zhu Xiong, naturally distrusts the generals, and the suspicion of the generals has been deeply rooted in the genes of the Great Liang Dynasty and cannot be changed.

The abolition of the Sandu Governor's Mansion not only marked the return of military power to the imperial court by the Southern Liang, but also marked the beginning of the policy focus of this small imperial court in the southeast from the previous restoration of the Central Plains to the conservative southeast half.

At this time, Zhang Qi proposed to reset the three major governors, which meant that the era of the Southern Liang's appeasement policy towards the North was over.

As soon as Zhang Qi drew the tone, Liu Xi immediately said: "What Zhang Xiang said is extremely reasonable, if you want to go north to the Central Plains, it is imperative to reset the three major governors' mansions. Xiangyang is now guarded by the former general Zongpeng and the old general Yang Gong, and it is not a problem to have him to supervise the north and south roads of Jinghu and the southwest of Jingnan. It's just that there are a few roads in Sichuan, and the younger generation thinks that it is most appropriate for the king of Wu'an County to sit in charge. ”

It's good to have a background! Li Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Liu Xi is just a six-rank courtier, so he dares to make irresponsible remarks about the appointment and dismissal of the imperial court's feudal officials. If he wasn't the grandson of Liu Jie, I'm afraid he would have been criticized by this group of old guys for being incomplete.

However, Li Yue was still a little curious, Liu Ting served as the pacification envoy of Chengdu Fulu at this time, and Liu Ting's qualifications and prestige were enough to serve as the governor of Sichuan. This guy didn't even recommend his father.

What's more, the east and west roads of Huainan are Wenbin's old departments, wouldn't it be more appropriate to let the king of Wu'an County go to the capital to supervise Jianghuai? How did Liu Xi suggest Wen Bin to go to Sichuan?

This is not in line with common sense, there must be demons when things are abnormal in the world.

"Then this Jianghuai Governor is naturally Zhang Xiang!"

Wen Bin really deserves to be an old Jianghu, and his understatement made Li Yue's heart suddenly clear. Although the three major prefectures are at the same level, the Jianghuai Prefecture is the closest to Lin'an, the capital of Xingdu, so in fact its status is slightly higher than that of the other two prefectures. It is highly likely that the governor of Jianghuai will be the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition in the future.

Once Wen Bin goes to Sichuan, the governor of Jianghuai will inevitably be Zhang Qi. It's just why did Liu Xi help Zhang Qi? Could it be that Zhang Qi and the Liu family have a deal? It seems that the main battle faction in the Southern Liang court is not monolithic, and there is an undercurrent.

"Since the court is here, why don't you say a word?"

Liu Xi suddenly asked, interrupting Li Yue, who was pondering. His question made everyone's eyes focus on Li Yue.

Li Yue smiled and said: "Before Xiaguan, it was just a small banner head of the Holy Protector Army, and thanks to His Majesty's wrong love, he was named the court's invitation not long ago. I don't dare to comment on such a major event as the establishment of the three major metropolitan governors, but ......"

"Please say it!"

Li Yue said calmly: "During the Xingguo period, if Xia Guan hadn't been taken in by General Zong and put in the Guzhong camp, I'm afraid that he would have become a lonely ghost by now, and he only hated General Zong for being framed by traitors and dying unjustly." But I was powerless to get justice for him. ”

After Li Yue finished speaking, everyone's eyes looking at him suddenly became sheng, burning like fire.

With just a few words, Li Yue established his firm position in the main battle faction.

Zhu Kongyang stood up and said loudly: "Not bad! General Zong must be rehabilitated! There is no delay in this matter! ”

Everyone responded in unison, Wen Bin nodded and smiled at Li Yue with satisfaction, raised his wine glass and said, "Come!" A cup of old decay and virtuous nephew! ”

Although this is not the first time that Wen Bin has called Li Yuexian's nephew, he did not shy away from calling Li Yue so on this occasion, and the message conveyed is already very obvious, and he has regarded Li Yue as an important successor of the main battle faction.

This is due to Wen Bin's high recognition of Li Yue's political vision and talent. Previously, Zhang Qi proposed the establishment of the three major governors, and the candidates for the three major governors discussed by Liu Xi are also important. But in order to succeed in the Northern Expedition, the most important thing is not to occupy a few important official positions or hold military power, but to clear out the concept of compromise and peace with the Northern Expedition from the court.

Zong Peng is the brightest star of the Northern Expedition to rejuvenate the country, and now that the main battle faction is in power, the importance of rehabilitating Zong Peng's case is undoubted! This is not only to correct Zong Peng's name, but also to correct the name of the Northern Expedition, and even more to correct the name of the main battle faction!

If Zong Peng's unjust case cannot be revealed, then the Northern Expedition expected by the main battle faction will lose its righteousness, and it will be unjustly named.

Seeing that Li Yue could have such insight into Wen Bin, he was very pleased, and he said with emotion: "The old man has passed the age of the sixtieth year, and he has become an official to the festival and named the king of the county, so why not be satisfied?" The only regret is that the mountains and rivers of Shenzhou are broken, and the shame of the disaster has not snowed! It is estimated that I will not see the day when the Central Plains will be recovered, and tomorrow I will ask His Majesty to send me out to Sichuan. ”

After Wen Bin finished speaking, he glanced at Li Yue with deep meaning, his meaning was already very straightforward, he didn't care about giving up the post of Jianghuai Governor to Zhang Qi. Because at his age, it is difficult to see the day when the Central Plains is recovered, and the hope of Wang Shibei for the Central Plains lies in a young man like Li Yue. Asking the governor of Sichuan to train an elite soldier for the imperial court is regarded as the predecessors planting trees, and the descendants are enjoying the shade.

Zhang Qi and Liu Xi couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw Wen Bin's statement, and said some words of praise such as Gao Fengliangjie, the king of Wu'an County.

Li Yue felt as if there was a thousand pounds of weight on his shoulders at this moment.
