Chapter Ninety-Three: The Blade of the Sea

Governor Wei was telling Zhou Yu about the past more than ten years ago.

“…… The reason why our dynasty broke its promise and did not allow the re-establishment of the state of Wu, and the Wu people did not oppose it in the end, is actually mainly one point: they did not have time and were unwilling to hook up with Li Yinglong, the king of Chu. Otherwise, at that time, the army of our dynasty was still fighting fiercely with Li Yinglong in Xiangyang, and Wu Di would collude with Li Yinglong to rebel again, which would definitely cause a catastrophe. ”

"The Wu people's hatred for the Liang Dynasty is much deeper than imagined. They would rather give up the rebellion than cooperate with the Li clan of the Liang dynasty. ”

But their thoughts on this matter are not uniform. It took a lot of effort for me to put the matter to rest. ”

"Due to the huge power of Wu at that time, a considerable part of Li Yingchong's defeated army was collected by them, and our dynasty still had to fight against the Chu army, and the control of Wu land could not be strict, which led to the uncontrollable strengthening of the local forces of Wu land. In the entire Jiangdong Province, the ruling power at the grassroots level is basically in the hands of the major local forces, and they have always hated the same enemy, and the government has nothing to do with them. The situation in Gangnam Province is even worse than here in Gangdong. ”

"This situation has become more and more intense since the Huanglong Change. In my position as Governor, nine out of ten of my energy was spent communicating with them, maintaining relationships, and trying to reassure them. ”

"Now, most of the things in Jiangdong and Jiangnan depend on the local family. Even if the central officials of the court are sent here and do not cooperate well with the local clan, they can only go back in the end. ”

"The overall situation of Wudi's government affairs is all in the world. The overall situation of Wu Land, the first priority, is to ensure that Wu Land still belongs to my Great Jin. ”

"Now, do you know why I said that it was extremely stupid for you to move the Jiang clan? Now that the situation is tense, if Wu Di colludes with Chu Liang, it will really be the opposite, let alone you, even if it is the prime minister behind you, he can't hold such a big responsibility! ”

In the face of Wei Sheng's accusation, Zhou Yu chuckled lightly and said, "How can I really not know anything about these things? ”

"And you still do it?" When Wei Sheng saw Zhou Yu's appearance, the anger in his heart rose again: "Even if more than three months have passed since Jiang Ming's death and the Jiang clan's extermination, the impact of this matter is far from subsided. made a regression and announced that Jiang Yun's identity was whitewashed, at most, it only slightly alleviated the contradiction between the local forces and us, but it did not involve the fundamentals. ”

"So what?" Zhou Yu asked rhetorically, "What does the Wu people want?" ”

Without waiting for Wei Sheng to answer, Zhou Yu continued: "The Wu people hold grudges, and the Wu people want to be free. ”

"It is no longer realistic to re-establish the country, but it is no longer realistic to ask the government to hand over more power and return the governance of Wu to the major local clans, famous families, and powerful people, which is their request by taking Jiang Ming's death as an opportunity."

"If you can remove me from power or even kill me as a dignified person, it will be a matter of great political significance."

"I am a local magistrate who controls the military power of a county, and as a taishou, I have handled a case of rebellion, and it is an iron case with conclusive evidence, and I am doing things for the imperial court."

"As a result, it was taken down, so where is the majesty of the government in Wudi? The future successor, and even the officials of the whole Wu region, who would dare to make trouble with the local powerful and famous families? ”

"They want to avenge the 'heroes of Wu', they want Zhou Yu's life, but they want the freedom of Wu Land!"

"If the local forces can really succeed in getting me, it will be equivalent to sending a clear political signal to the whole Wu land, and even the whole world: this Wu land is nominally the land of the Great Jin, but in fact, the dominant power is still in the hands of the local forces headed by the Ming Liumen! Then this Great Wu, there is not much difference between extinguishing and not extinguishing! ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, you and I shouldn't be debating here, if you really think about my great promotion, you shouldn't rebuke me here, but you should protect me!"

Zhou Yu's words were sonorous and powerful, but they provoked Wei Sheng's sneer:

"Keep you...... What to protect you? If the local forces have a resolute attitude and make trouble in the end, it is not good to meet each other, then they will set off a rebellion that sweeps the southeast of the world, and then in the name of 'Wu State', they will contact Chu Liang to jointly resist the Great Jin Dynasty across the north of the Great River, forming the trend of the Three Kingdoms...... Bao is to keep you, but Jiangdong and Jiangnan are gone! ”

"They didn't do it back then."

"But that doesn't mean they won't do it now!" Wei Sheng said, "If you don't do those things, you won't have this kind of trouble!" ”

The two looked at each other, and neither of them would take the lead in admitting defeat.

In the end, the Governor shook his head and said, "When you were young, you had the title of 'Huan Hai Blade', which was a good steel knife, but after all, you have been an official for 20 years, how can you still be as strong as when you were young, strong and inflexible?" If you are strong for a while, can you be strong for a lifetime? ”

"Why not?"

"Heh......" Wei Sheng smiled, "When a knife has its own ideas, no matter how sharp it is, it is not a good knife...... Lord Zhou, Luzhou affairs, you are so self-conscious. ”

"Yes." Zhou Yu arched his hand and said, "Lord Governor, if there is nothing else to do, Yu will retire first." ”

"Go ahead." Wei Sheng waved his hand and said no more.

……

After returning to the Burial Sword Villa, Jiang Yun honestly cultivated for a few days.

The wrist that had been treated again was treated with a very precious medicine.

The potion, called 'Bone Renewal Ointment', looked like a lump of black mud, and it smelled very strong and pungent.

But the effect is good.

Apply it to your wrist, wrap it in a clean bandage, change the medicine once a day, and after seven days, Jiang Yun's wrist will be the same as normal.

The saying that it takes 100 days to break the muscles and bones is not true in a world of extraordinary power.

And during these few days of cultivation, he couldn't do anything else, and even his cultivation could only be limited to the three exercises of 'Falling Spirit Thaumaturgy', 'Sword Heart Secret Classic', and 'Dajiang Jue', and the sword technique would definitely not be able to be practiced.

In his spare time, he also thought about it for a while.

He was basically able to confirm that the assassination of him this time should have nothing to do with the mission entrusted in the Hidden Society.

The task was entrusted to him alive, and he was not even allowed to be physically harmed. If you come for that task, you won't be like Pang Yang, who rushed for his life.

In addition, it should have nothing to do with the government.

He believed that the Burial Sword Villa should give him an explanation.

After waiting for these few days, Lu Jiuxue came to visit.

"My dad wants to see you."

Jiang Yun was not surprised, nodded his head, and followed Lu Jiuxue towards the deep pavilion.
