Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 279

"I... don't know what His Majesty means."

"It's okay, just chat casually."

Liu Yizhen was very gentle because he knew that he was out of the level of intimidating others with anger and rants.

The tens of thousands of heavy soldiers surrounding Jiankang City are Liu Yizhen's confidence. The sense of deterrence brought by those shining swords is far more direct than the bluffing roar.

In contrast, Xu Xianzhi, who also holds great power, looks extremely weak standing opposite him at this moment.

Because no matter how powerful he is, he has no military power, and his waist can never be straightened.

Moreover, his Shangshu Province is not the only one, and Liu Yizhen has mixed a lot of sand in it.Yin Jingren, Zheng Xianzhi, and Gao Yun are all from Liu Yizhen.

Xu Xianzhi himself is not from a family background, and he does not have huge family resources behind him for him to mobilize.

All of the above caused Xu Xianzhi to naturally fall into a disadvantage in front of Liu Yizhen.

Xu Xianzhi bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, not daring to look at Liu Yizhen: "Return to Your Majesty. I used to live in the government office, and I haven't seen my nephew for a long time."

On the surface, these words seemed to be Xu Xianzhi's surrender, but in fact it was not.

Xu Xianzhi, who has always been strong, has already picked himself up in words, and at the same time played his own cards.

Having never met Xu Peizhi, he cut his nephew away from him.

Live in the government office.

This superficial meaning is to let Liu Yizhen remember his hard work, don't make everyone look bad when he comes up, or what will other officials who have made great contributions think?
The deep meaning is to imply that Liu Yizhen is still a senior official of the Shangshu, and the servant of the Shangshu.

He was injured for Liu Songchao, and he shed blood for Liu Songchao.

With these credits, no matter how big the mistakes Xu Peizhi made, he couldn't just bring them up, right?
"Ah."

Liu Yizhen still smiled gently.

After all, he is an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years, and his move to retreat is like saving Xu Peizhi.

only……

Is this the end?
Liu Yizhen himself did not have a good feeling for Xu Xianzhi before, because he is a powerful minister.

There is a natural hostile relationship between powerful ministers and the emperor, and no one can escape it.

But right now, the central military power is in the hands of Liu Yizhen. Wang Zhen'e, who commanded the Central Army, was squeezed out by the southern factions for many years in the Jiankang Dynasty.Xu Xianzhi wanted to get his hands on the military power, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

And losing military power, the so-called power ministers are paper tigers without sharp claws, Liu Yizhen will naturally not be afraid of such Xu Xianzhi.

In addition, Xu Xianzhi is indeed a meritorious service to the community. During the days when Liu Yizhen went to the north, he managed the southern court, not to mention orderly, at least it was stable.

It stands to reason that Liu Yizhen's confession to Xu Xianzhi is almost the same.

only……

Just like treating Xie Hui.

The ass decides the head.

This is a moment.

Now Xu Xianzhi still holds huge power in his hands.

This part of authority is the key to Xu Xianzhi's ability to stabilize the Jiankang court when Liu Yizhen is away.

But Liu Yizhen came back.

Xu Xianzhi's achievements are about to become the poison to kill him.

How would the emperor feel when he went out to fight and left the prime minister to look after his house, and when he came back, he found that his country was no different from what it was before he went out?
Was he overwhelmed by the prime minister's achievements?
Do not!
is fear.

At this time, any emperor with a normal mind would not say yes: "Oh, the prime minister is really strong and the prime minister is awesome, so I will leave everything to the prime minister."

It's "Damn! This dog is so strong, is he trying to usurp the throne?"

Don't overestimate the integrity of the emperor, let alone underestimate the danger of the emperor's profession.

For his own safety, the emperor often did some unreasonable actions.

Just like now.

Liu Yizhen was very grateful to Xu Xianzhi for helping him stabilize Jiankang in the rear, but now that he was back, he had to hand over his authority.

Liu Yizhen is not Liu Yu, and Xu Xianzhi is not Liu Muzhi.

The two did not have a life-and-death friendship, let alone experienced the test of living and dying together.

So Liu Yizhen couldn't let go.

With Xu Peizhi's incident, Liu Yizhen also wanted to see Xu Xianzhi's reaction.

If he helps Xu Peizhi now, Liu Yizhen will only take back his authority, not Xu Peizhi's life.

Even in the future, Liu Yizhen will give one of Xu Xian a face, and promise him the position of Sangong so that he can retire from his old age and return home.

But if Xu Xianzhi broke up with Xu Peizhi immediately, Liu Yizhen would not touch him again, but would just bring Xu Peizhi to justice.

It's just that in the future...it's hard to say.

Now that Xu Xianzhi chose the second option, Liu Yizhen felt a slight disappointment in his eyes.

But for the sake of Xu Xianzhi's hard work, Liu Yizhen decided to give Xu Xianzhi another chance.

"I see, Xu Shangshu really worked hard..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Liu Yizhen also began to see off the guests.

He hoped that Xu Xianzhi understood what he meant.

After all, this old minister left by Liu Yu is also a typical example of Liu Yu who was promoted from a poor family. Liu Yizhen still hopes that the other party can continue to stand on the last post for the banner of "the poor hold the secrets".Make some contributions to your future to completely break the family politics, and prolong your descendants.

When Xu Xianzhi returned home, the more he thought about talking with Liu Yizhen today, the more he felt something was wrong.

He didn't call Xu Peizhi, it was meaningless.

That idiot probably doesn't even know how he offended Liu Yizhen.

Even if he knew it was useless, Xu Xianzhi could see that Liu Yizhen was here for him this time.

"Emperor Liu...how cunning and weak."

At this moment Xu Xianzhi thought of this record in the history books again.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, when Zhu Lu was in chaos, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo worked together to suppress the chaos, and brought Emperor Han Wen back to Chang'an from the bitterly cold generation to ascend the throne.

No matter how you look at it, both Chen Ping and Zhou Bo will be great ministers in the future and enjoy the glory and wealth.

The results of it?
As soon as Emperor Hanwen came to power, he began to liquidate the meritorious ministers who pushed him to the throne, which caused Zhou Bo to sigh in prison, "I often command millions of troops, but I know how valuable the jailers are".

Another example is Han Xin and Xiao Hezhi to Han Gaozu.

Dou Ying and Tian Fu belonged to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

……

"Emperor Liu, can we only share adversity, not wealth?"

Of course Xu Xianzhi was unwilling.

But he also understands the consequences of being unwilling.

Now Liu Yizhen is in control of the military power. This military power does not mean that Liu Yizhen dares to lead troops into the minister's house and kill him if he disagrees with him.

What's more, Liu Yizhen was placed in a position where he could remain invincible.

in politics.

Military power is more about protection than offense.

Xu Xianzhi wrote a letter bitterly and asked the diners to send it out.

The next day, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials wrote to Liu Yizhen, asking for bones.

As soon as this memorial was presented, Liu Yizhen knew that Xu Xianzhi had backed down.

It is only a concession, not a complete surrender.

"never mind."

Liu Yizhen didn't want to push too hard, the future will be long.

Xu Xianzhi, sooner or later he will figure it out.

"Now closing Internet cafes, start with Yu Shi."
