Although a hundred years have passed since the rebellion of the kings, every time I think of it, it still makes Zhongzhou Mu feel frightened.

This is also why Da Liang has maintained a suppressive posture against military generals for many years, and the rebellion of the kings is a lesson from the past.

And the current situation is far from the level of the rebellion of the kings, but it will be too late to get to that point.

You must know that in the rebellion of the kings at the beginning, it was not only the kings of the opposite sex who provoked the war, but also several royal relatives.

That war was the most fierce among the royal family, and this Dongshan Marquis, once the war in Dongzhou was pacified, with this military exploit, not to mention the king, but ranked as a second-class national prince, he couldn't run away.

In addition, he is a royal family member, and it is difficult not to guarantee that there will be a new county king in the future.

Compared with Zhongzhou Mu's worries, Su Ji was much calmer, he patiently listened to Zhongzhou Mu's words, and then said unhurriedly.

"I can understand your concerns, but do we have any other choice now? If we want to ensure the stability of Zhongzhou, it is already very difficult for the two of us to rely on it."

"The two commanders of the Beishan camp are a lesson from the past, and this time my two good nephews are only commanders, so what about next time?"

These words made Zhongzhou Mu a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to say it.

King Yu, like him, is not a person from Su Zhe or Su Tai, but the difference is that he is loyal to the current emperor, while King Yu only wants to keep Zhongzhou stable.

Who becomes the emperor has nothing to do with him, but the premise is to ensure the success of the successor.

His cousin, has not openly established the crown prince until now, but has let the two princes fight among themselves, although it is to maintain the stability of the court.

But this kind of stability is only temporary, and as Su Xuanyong gets older, the two will always have to decide the winner.

This kind of seizure of the heir is not safe and smooth, but with a bloody struggle, and now Su Xuanyong can still hold it down, but in a few years, it is still unknown whether he can hold it down.

Once the two fight, the entire Da Liang will have to fall into a bloody storm, and his two imperial nephews are not good at it.

If you want to change the current pattern, you have to introduce new candidates, and Su Qi'an is the person that King Yu values.

His idea is exactly the same as Su Xuanyong's, it is precisely because he understands Su Xuanyong's mind that Su Ji will put the future of Zhongzhou on Su Qi'an.

Although this risk is very high, it is very likely that a new county king will be created, and there will be a risk of secession, but at present, Su Ji can't control so much.

What he wants is actually similar to Su Xuanyong, all for the stability of Da Liang, as for the affairs of the next generation in the future, it can only be handed over to the next generation to solve, after all, a generation has a generational mission.

Seeing that Zhongzhou Mu was silent, Su Ji continued, "What will happen in the future, we can't control it, we can't manage it, what we can do is to do our best to maintain the stability of Zhongzhou, only in this way can Da Liang continue to go."

"As for where my imperial nephew will go in the future, whether he will seize power, or divide the territory and set off a rebellion, I believe in him, he is different from the kings of a hundred years ago, although he is a royal clansman, but from his eyes, I only see the importance of affection, and I am impulsive, I believe that I will not be wrong."

Su Ji's voice was firm, and the Zhongzhou Mu beside him did not refute, nodding slightly, since they have come to this point, no matter how much worry there is, it is useless.

I hope that this Dongshan Marquis will live up to their expectations.

Su Qi'an's merchant ship slowly sailed on the waterway and headed for Dongzhou.

Su Qi'an stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the rippling river in front of him, holding a pair of scrolls in his hand.

This scroll is Su Ji's help to him, in addition to the detailed records, the intricate relationship between the governor of Dongzhou, the state pastor, and the local leading family.

The mountains, waterways, and lakes of Dongshu are described in detail.

For example, the waterway that Su Qi'an and the others took is the largest waterway from Zhongzhou to Dongzhou.

In addition to connecting Zhongzhou and Dongzhou for waterway transportation, it is also an official road for the circulation and transportation of grain, salt and iron.

Along the way, it is not uncommon to see a merchant ship as large as Su Qi'an on this waterway.

There were even merchant ships larger than Su Qi'an's, and they were all the way to Dongzhou.

All kinds of small waterway boats gradually converged on this river, Su Qi'an looked at it, around it, one after another, many boats followed, looking quite lively.

Su Qi'an's first stop in Dongzhou was called Danyang County, which ranked about the middle among the eighteen counties in Dongzhou.

Because it is close to Zhongzhou and is in the rear, it has not been disturbed by the war, the economic development is okay, there are a lot of business and trade exchanges, and the tolls collected for trade between the two states every year account for a quarter of the annual income of Danyang County.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for the waterways of Danyang County to prosper, and with the movement of merchant ships, it took about two hours to arrive at the wharf of Danyang County.

Su Qi'an, who was standing at the bow of the boat, looked ahead, and roughly counted, there were at least thirty docks that could be docked on the shore, lined up, quite spectacular.

This is just one of the counties in the county, there are at least a dozen docks like this in the entire Danyang County, covering seven counties in the county.

The wharf where Su Qi'an and the others docked is not Danyang County, but one of the seven counties, called Yanglai County.

In the seven counties of Danyang, it can be ranked in the top three, which is already very good, the local county order seems to be surnamed Fang, as for what it is called, Su Qi'an is not clear.

On the detailed scroll of Dongzhou handed over to him by Su Ji, there was not much written, not that Su Ji did not give them strength, but that the territory of Dongzhou was too large.

There are eighteen counties in the state alone, and there are at least five to seven counties in a county, and roughly counting, there are more than 100 people in the county order of Dongzhou.

This is only a county order, if you count the two county-level deputies, the number of people can easily exceed three hundred.

And because the Dongzhou front line had to prepare for war, and fought with pirates and pirates all the year round, in order to better manage, the eighteen counties were divided into half and nine counties, which were under the jurisdiction of the Dongzhou governor of the front.

In a sense, the huge Dongzhou is basically divided into two, with the first nine counties being the war zone and the last nine counties being the peace zone.

Only in wartime may the two sides intersect, and when preparing for war, basically the officials of both sides do not recognize everything.

In order to prevent the emergence of a dominant family and the disguised division of Dongzhou, the imperial court ordered that the county orders of the first nine counties and the last nine counties should be transferred in turn.

This method somewhat limited the monopoly of the Dongzhou Pastor and the Governor of Dongzhou, and also led to Su Ji's inability to further understand the specific situation of the county orders in Dongzhou.

Being able to understand the county level is the limit of Su Ji, and it would be too difficult to go deeper.

He was not disappointed with Su Qi'an, and when he came to Dongzhou, it was naturally impossible to rely on the intelligence information provided by the scroll all the time.

If you want to really understand, it's still the same sentence, and you can only visit it yourself.

Anyway, there is still plenty of time for Su Qi'an, and he has time to understand slowly.

And this time I came to Dongzhou, saying that it was a decree to act, and all the officials in Dongzhou must cooperate, which seems to be infinite.

In fact, it is to seize the power of the governor of the state and the governor of the eastern state, and it will be uncomfortable for anyone to be changed, and he will not be treated.

In a sense, Su Qi'an's resignation is like a prison army.

Su Qi'an knows that this thing is more difficult to do than anyone else, and it is also the most unpopular.

If you have the strength, you can convince the other party, and for the sake of respect, you will call the state inspector, if you don't have the ability to make the state pastor and the governor of Dongzhou submit, Su Qi'an's treatment is not much different from that of the supervisor.

The most terrible thing is that this time Su Qi'an came to Dongzhou, there was a very tricky matter waiting for him to deal with.

Before coming, the imperial court had long known about the chaos within Dongzhou, and specially ordered that it should be severely punished.

After the examination of the governor and the governor of Dongzhou, a large number of corrupt officials were finally arrested, and these officials were not small, basically county-level officials, and the highest of them was the deputy governor of Dongzhou.

According to the meaning of the imperial court, no matter who is involved, they will be beheaded without mercy, and this trick has the meaning of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

The Dongzhou Pastor who received the order did not dare to say anything, and this matter was originally handled by him and the Dongzhou Governor themselves.

But he knew that the imperial court was going to send Su Qi'an, the supervising envoy, and the execution, this Dongzhou pastor was going to leave it to Su Qi'an to solve.

Something like this, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a murder with a knife.

But Su Qi'an wanted to refuse, and he couldn't refuse, looking at the progress of Dongzhou Mu's review, he was waiting for Su Qi'an to arrive, unless Su Qi'an refused to go to Dongzhou, so this matter, no matter how he hid, he couldn't hide it.

If it was just an ordinary official, Su Qi'an didn't care, he would kill it, but it involved a deputy governor.

According to the analysis of scroll intelligence, this deputy governor and Wu Dingguo, the governor of Dongzhou, can be described as brothers in life and death.

Taking him to the knife, Wu Dingguo was already very unhappy, and at this time, Su Qi'an, the airborne supervision envoy, came, and the first thing he did was to behead him, a brother in life and death.

It can be said that he directly offended Wu Dingguo, and then there are contradictions between Wu Dingguo and Dongzhou Mu Zhou Zibin.

Su Qi'an went at this time, and it was difficult not to let Wu Dingguo and other front-line soldiers associate it.

It can be said that Zhou Zibin pushed him to the opposite side of Wu Dingguo without any effort at all.

is worthy of being an old fox, Su Qi'an gave him such a big surprise before he came to Dongzhou.

The handling of this matter, Su Qi'an thought about it all the way, and in the end, there is a high probability that he will definitely be used as a knife, this is no way, this is Yang Mou, and there is no way to break the trick.

What Su Qi'an has to do now is not how to break the move, but after being used as a knife messenger, let this Zhou Zibin, who has not yet met, know that he can't pay the price of using him as a knife envoy.

After making this decision in his heart, Su Qi'an was not in a hurry to go to the Houjiu County City, he had time to slowly consume.

With the caravan disembarking together, Su Qi'an and the direct team protecting him entered Yanglai County, he wanted to see how dark this Dongzhou that was rumored to be so dark, Dongzhou that eats people and does not spit out bones, is so dark.
