Jianye City, Jiangdong Governor's Palace.

Zhou Yu, the Taishou of Luzhou, walked into the governor's office under the leadership of Bian Ling, deputy commander of Jiangdong Jinyiwei.

Along the way, Zhou Yu remained silent and did not say a word superfluous. There was a look of exhaustion on his face, and these three months had been a nightmare for his official career.

Bian Ling ignored him, took him to the back, nodded slightly to Wei Sheng, the governor of Jiangdong, and then exited the room.

"Your Excellency the Doge." Zhou Yu stood in front of Wei Sheng and bowed down to say hello.

Wei Sheng stared at him and remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Yu was a little uncomfortable.

Wei Sheng is a very strong man, with dark skin, even when he sits, he looks like a coiled tiger.

The appearance of a soldier and his tough style are the impression that Wei Sheng gives to outsiders.

In fact, he was indeed a soldier, Wei Sheng, who is fifty-nine years old this year, even participated in the Liang Dynasty's war to destroy Wu thirty-six years ago, as a soldier; Thirteen years ago, when Li Yingchong, the king of Wu, attacked the Jin Dynasty in the north, Wei Sheng had become a general of the Jin Dynasty, independently led an army, and made significant contributions in the suppression of the Wu Dynasty.

Five years after the war, he retired from the army and was appointed governor of Gangdong Province.

That's eight years.

With a long exhale, Wei Sheng asked, "There is secret news that Jiang Yun was attacked and killed in the Burial Sword Villa, and there was no major problem, it wasn't you who did it, right?" ”

"Xiaguan is not so stupid." Zhou Yu's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and he doesn't look like a 'subordinate official' at all when he speaks.

"Hmph......" Wei Sheng sneered, "Haven't suffered enough?" ”

“……”

"You're the prime minister's person, I can't do anything to you." Wei Sheng continued, "However, I still can't figure it out, why do you dare to move the Jiang clan as soon as you take office? ”

“……”

"Jiangdong has six names, all of which are one. Luzhou Jiang family, one of the six gates, Jiang Ming has the title of 'Wu Zhi Hero', faintly as the pillar of Wu Di's rivers and lakes, such a person, I didn't dare to move for eight years in office, why do you dare to move? ”

"The Jiang clan has an underground arsenal, and they have a large number of artillery, muskets, and war equipment hidden in them. With the Jiang clan's reputation, if they wanted, they could use this arsenal to pull out an elite team of 10,000 people. The Jiang clan rebelled, and the stolen goods were all seized, and the evidence was conclusive. Such a traitor, Zhou is too guarded by Luzhou, why can't he move? ”

Wei Sheng snorted coldly and said, "The Jiang clan has an arsenal, I have been in the Governor's Mansion for eight years, can I not know?" The six families all plotted against each other, and they deviated from the government, can I not know? ”

"Then why not?"

"How?" Wei Sheng said, "You are in charge, look at the current Jiangdong Province and Jiangnan Province, what has become of them?" The government is half paralyzed, and I am a dignified governor, except for the Jinyi Guard, except for the Jianye garrison, no one can command it! The local affairs officials are disobedient and can't even collect taxes! ”

"It's not big enough......"

"Enough!" The Governor slammed the table, "You really don't know whether to live or die. In this case, if it weren't for the prime minister's protection of you, you would have already disappeared with a black gauze hat on your head! ”

"Zhou is not wrong." Zhou Yu stiffened his neck and stiffened his head.

He really didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and even if he got to this situation, he still didn't even have much to regret it.

"You ......" Wei Sheng pointed to his nose, and after a while, he sat back in his seat.

He rubbed his eyebrows, his tone softened a little, but he mentioned a past incident: "Lord Zhou, do you know the changes in Huanglong thirteen years ago? ”

"Of course I do."

Wei Sheng nodded and continued: "Your Majesty is the former Liang, and at the beginning of the Great Jin Dynasty, the world was in turmoil. The smoke was everywhere, and the princes stood side by side, all in the name of rebellion, and rebelled. His Majesty operated a wide range in the north, and the chaos was pacified immediately, but Li Yinglong, the king of Chu, and Li Yingchong, the king of Wu, were all princes and kings with the same surname in the Liang Dynasty. ”

"Especially with Li Yingchong, the king of Wu, as the strongest, he did his best to destroy the elite army of Wu back then. 200,000 soldiers who were in charge of the army, supported by the rich lands of Jiangdong and Jiangnan, went north for three days to cross the river, seven days to conquer Huai'an, half a moon to Xuzhou, west to the Central Plains, Shenjing was terrified......"

"At that time, from the princes and ministers of Shenjing City to the people of Liming, they really felt that King Wu was menacing, and the support of the Great Jin Dynasty would not last long. His Majesty was wise and martial, personally led the Divine Guard, and the Central Plains soldiers and horses, and fought a decisive battle with King Wu in Xudu. At that time, the army led by His Majesty was only 50,000 people. Do you know how Your Majesty relied on 50,000 men to defeat King Wu's 200,000 army? ”

"Know, the Divine Guard Army is mighty, and the soldiers of the Wu Army are not angry with King Wu, and they are in rebellion. His Majesty personally led the Divine Guard, went down in a battle, beheaded Li Yingchong and returned, and Wu Di passed on the decision. ”

"Huh...... That's what the world says. Wei Sheng smiled and continued: "But how many people know the secret? Back then, I was ordered to come to Jiangdong secretly before Xuzhou was broken. I got in touch with the major famous families, families, and Haoqiang in Jiangdong, and it only took ten days for them to stand on the side of Dajin. The Wu family began to exert their strength, they took advantage of the chaos, entered the palace, killed the remaining officials of the Liang Dynasty, cut off Li Yingchong's logistics, and in the army of King Wu, called on the soldiers of Wu to lay down their arms and return home. ”

So, in just half a month, the former army of Wu Wang, who was mighty and seemed to be able to fight Shenjing in one battle, fell apart like this. Many soldiers defected before the battle, and together with the Divine Guard, they attacked Li Yingchong's loyal descendants on both sides, causing him to be defeated. ”

"And I persuaded the Wu family to oppose what Li Yingchong used, there are only two things: one is the hatred of the Wu people for the Liang Dynasty, and the other is the secret edict given to me by His Majesty before leaving."

"The secret edict said that if the Wu people were willing to help the Great Jin Dynasty rebel against Li Yingchong, they would support the restoration of the Wu State."

"The restoration of the country is in the heart of the Wu people. What's more, Li Yingchong was the king of Wu for fifteen years at that time, and he has always treated the local clan as a conqueror. He has in his hands the elite left by the Liang Dynasty and Wu, and also has the support of the Central Dynasty, the Wu people dare not act rashly, but the dissatisfaction in their hearts is accumulating day by day. At that time, the Pingwu Liang army was gradually aging, and the deterrence was not as good as before, and there were few elites, and they were taken to the north by him...... These things made them quickly make up their minds, and they even hit it off. ”

"But...... Now there is no Wu State. ”

Zhou Yu listened to the governor's story, but he didn't say anything. He had heard of these news in the officialdom before, but it was not as clear as Wei Sheng's case.

"Your Majesty broke his promise and did not let the state of Wu re-establish the country. At that time, the Wu people almost rioted. It was still me who talked with them for a long time, wasted many tongues, and risked being killed by them many times before I persuaded them to come down. ”

Zhou Yu had to praise: "The Governor has dedicated himself to the country and has made great contributions. ”

"But it's also a curse." Wei Sheng sighed.
