Yang Ping, as Duan Yunyi's hand-picked minister of condolences, is actually between the minister and the envoy.

Bashu has always been the nominal territory of the Great Zhou, not another country, as long as Bashu does not rebel and stand on its own, there is no such thing as envoys for the officials sent by the imperial court to Bashu.

However, Bashu is governed by Gongsun Xunfeng, forming a de facto separation, so it is obviously unrealistic to let Yang Ping, as the minister of the Qincha, control Bashu.

Before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the people were exhausted, and Gaozu and Zhuge Hui knew that even if they unified the whole country, they would face a weak country that was in ruins.

At that time, the family was huge, and its influence was unprecedented.

In order to win the support of the Sword Clan, Gaozu also stopped fighting to prevent the people of Bashu from being involved in the war again, and after weighing the benefits and disadvantages, he temporarily accepted the request of Bashu to be autonomous by the Sword Clan on the grounds of rewarding Gongsun Xunfeng for his military exploits.

After that, the Great Zhou was still tired and urgently needed to recuperate and quell the domestic rebellion, and the matter of Bashu was temporarily put on hold.

Later, it was the disaster of moving the capital, which caused Bashu to gradually get out of control.

Without Liang Xiao, Bashu would probably have been on the road to self-reliance.

The Bashu side is obviously also aware of the current situation, and is not willing to completely surrender to the power like Guan Long, but also does not dare to offend the imperial court too much, so naturally does not dare to snub Yang Ping, the condolence minister.

After Gongsun Wuji met with Yang Ping, in the afternoon of the same day, Yang Ping and his party lived in a mansion relying on the Taishou Mansion.

Gongsun Xunfeng asked Gongsun Rong privately: "What did Wuji talk about with Yang Ping?" ”

Gongsun Rong said: "Just reminiscing about the old days, chatting about the days of working together in Yanzhou, and already following the pride of Liang Xiao when he was a wolf." ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Xunfeng's inner sense of crisis arose.

"In the future, Wuji is afraid that he will not be able to succeed to the generalissimo of Bashu."

Gongsun Rong was stunned, thoughtful, but his face was embarrassed.

"If Satsuki is not a man...... Just urge Xiaoyu and Mingfeng to have children as soon as possible! After Gongsun Xunfeng admonished, he said in a deep voice, "My son, you must not forget that the Martial Emperor recorded by the Sword Clan was so wise and martial when he was young, but he inevitably fell into a coma in his old age, leaving behind a tired country......

Gongsun Rong solemnly agreed, his eyes firm.

Jian Wuwu sat on the side, rarely without saying a word, only feeling like crying without tears.

She has lost her daughter, should she lose her eldest son and third daughter?

Due to the official documents of the imperial court, the Bashu side still warmly entertained Yang Ping and Chen Ling, and the imperial court's team brought its own funds and stayed in Bashu for a long time to take care of Gongsun Yue, so as not to suffer more grievances.

Naturally, the Gongsun family could not let Chen Ling take Gongsun Yue away, and did not allow Gongsun Yue to go out on the grounds of raising a fetus.

Considering Gongsun Yue's inconvenience, Yang Ping did not immediately make representations about bringing back Gongsun Yue and the child.

With the support of the imperial court, Gongsun Yue finally had some confidence.

At this time, Xingrou was at home, her eyes were resentful, and she didn't dare to go out.

Under the strong request of Jianzifang and Qin Baili, she finally got vaccinated with cowpox.

Even though her grandfather and eldest brother knew that cowpox prevention of smallpox must be reliable, it was still difficult for her to accept it.

How did that man come up with the idea of preventing smallpox in this way?

"Rou'er."

There was a sound from outside.

After Xingrou opened the door, Jian Zifang could see the resentment on her face at a glance.

"It's okay, it didn't grow on your face."

Hearing her grandfather's exclamation, Xingrou's tears burst out of her eyes.

"There has been a smallpox epidemic in the south recently, and we have to guard against it, otherwise, grandpa will not dare to take you to Jiangnan ......," Jianzifang sighed.

"Got it!" Xingrou snorted.

"If this trip goes well, perhaps, we can go to the capital and meet Liang Xiao and his people. Grandpa also wanted to see for himself what kind of person he was. After all, grandpa was not born in the era of Emperor Wu, so he missed the ......" Jian Zifang looked solemn.

Xingrou's beautiful eyes, which were originally resentful, lit up.

"Do you want to go to the capital in the end?"

Jian Zifang nodded and said: "Looking at the situation in Jiangnan, the imperial court has already increased troops there, and I think it is also intended to cleanse the family." If the final winner is Liang Xiao, Jiangnan is stable, and the sword clan has no chance at all, and it is not impossible to go to the capital to meet Liang Xiao. ”

"I also want to see what kind of man can make her desperate and judge two people!" Between the words, Xingrou subconsciously clenched her pink fist.

The name of the first beauty in Bashu, the title of saint, which she cherished, was abandoned by Gongsun Yue, which obviously made her feel deeply hurt when she had always been motivated by competition with Gongsun Yue.

Jianzifang was just silent, watching Xingrou's door close again, with mixed feelings.

Ever since he had an in-depth conversation with Qin Baili in private, he had vaguely understood.

If the Sword Clan provokes people who shouldn't be provoked, they will be destroyed.

If it's too late......

That night, Liang Xiao was in the imperial study, reviewing information from all sides.

The secret report of Xuanwei in the south and Great Chu, the official document of the southern government, and the secret report of the children of the Mo family......

Without exception, this information points to the same thing.

Da Chu and Da Zhou are about to break up, and they are constantly increasing troops on the south bank of the Heng River!

The death of Ram Xiu made Xiahou Yong extremely angry, and he felt that he was disgraced as the new emperor, so he must give an explanation to the Great Zhou side.

But because Ram Xiu had already left the border of the Great Zhou and died in the heart of the river, the Great Zhou side also strongly rejected Da Chu's "unreasonable request", only expressed regret and severely condemned the assassin, and at the same time did not forget to remind Da Chu: Be careful that this is the work of the Tianri Sect, and the purpose is to separate the two countries.

These official replies were very high-sounding and leaky, which made Xiahou Yong, who secretly believed in and supported the Tianri Sect, furious.

However, because the king of Wu in the south was eyeing him, Da Chu did not dare to increase his troops to the north too much, so he could only make preparations first and then negotiate with the king of Wu.

"Emperor, what should Jiangnan do next?" Sima Hong made routine inquiries and was ready to inform at any time.

Liang Xiao said: "Let's see what the situation in Jiangnan is, Zhuge Ding led his troops south, and he should have completely controlled a part of Jiangnan, but there is still some distance from Jinling." First let all parts of the south monitor the movements on the south bank of the Hengjiang River, and be ready to inform the whole country at any time that the Great Chu will break the covenant and go north, and my Great Zhou will soon hang the people for the crime. ”

Sima Hong's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed, and ran to mobilize Xuanwei.

The land of Jiangnan.

Zhuge Ding, the generalissimo of Zhengnan, led the main force to settle in Luzhou, took over Luzhou, where the family was most rampant, and began to distribute newspapers.

Those who came with the army also had the new Luzhou Taishou, who was responsible for implementing new policies such as apportionment into acres.

In the face of this army of tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, the local landlords and gentry in Luzhou did not dare to make a mistake, so they could only protest.

"On the order of the emperor: the new policy is beneficial to the people of the country, and has won the praise of the people of the north, and it urgently needs to be implemented in all parts of the south! Anyone who obstructs or interferes with the new policy will be punished as a felony! ”
