The Huainan Army is not a weak persimmon. Otherwise, it would not have been able to hold on to Huaibei and maintain an undefeated situation when Shi Le occupied all the north. Although due to the death of Zu Ti, the Huainan Army has lost its backbone, and its combat effectiveness may have declined.

It has declined, but people are still the same people. As long as they are used properly, they are not unable to withstand Zeng Daniu's department.

A glimmer of hope had just arisen in Liu Kun's heart when another set of footsteps came from the top of the city. He and Murong Xin couldn't help but cast their gaze over, both with an inexplicable sense of hope. Everything was not going well today, and they both

Hope this is good news.

The attendants quickly came forward, but hesitation appeared on their faces. They gritted their teeth and then said uneasily: "Your Majesty, it seems that the Chief Situ and the Central Secretary have left Jiankang."

"What?" Liu Kun was shocked and asked quickly: "Please tell me clearly, what happened? When will you leave? Didn't I arrange a secret sentry near their house? Why didn't you report it when you left?"

The attendant lowered his head, not daring to look at Liu Kun, and said cautiously: "According to your Majesty's instructions, manned surveillance has been arranged near the residences of all the principal ministers in the DPRK, and there are also dedicated people to alert them when traveling. Yesterday evening, Da Situ went to the Central Government alone.

I’m visiting the Supervisor’s house, brother.

The brothers all kept an eye on it and never dared to slack off. Not long after, a banquet was held at the Zhongshu Supervisor's Mansion, which lasted until late at night. Something special happened in the meantime. The banquet was not broken up until the appointment was made (one o'clock in the evening).

Go, Zhongshu Supervisor will escort Da Situ out of the mansion.[

At that moment, a sudden change occurred! The two men seemed to have figured out the location of the secret sentry, and they dodged several times in a row, knocking out nearly ten of their brothers! They woke up not long ago, only to find that they were in the middle of it.

Inside the Supervisor’s Mansion, but there is no one in his Mansion!”

"Trash! A bunch of trash!" Liu Kun's beard and hair were flying in anger. He originally expected to be happy with good news, but he didn't expect it to be such heartwarming news. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Yesterday Huan Yi, Bian

I went to surrender to the Xun Mansion. You were too late. Now Director Wang and Yu Liang escaped privately and still did not come to report in time. What do you think I am using to support you? Huh?"

Liu Kun's voice was fierce, and the attendant knelt down with a plop, his body trembling violently. He didn't even dare to argue.

Murong Xin quickly raised his hands and advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Huan Yi and Bian Yi have few people in the mansion. They can leave at any time, and they are protected by King Qin's personal guards. The secret sentry cannot get too close, so in a hurry

It's understandable that you don't pay back as much as you want.

Director Wang and Yu Liang are both sophisticated and scheming people. I am afraid they have already discovered the manpower lurking near their home. Although their skills are not as good as your Majesty's, they are still capable of using alchemy and transforming energy to suddenly burst into rebellion.

The secret sentry was caught off guard and could not escape. Now that what has happened, your majesty, please consider their consistent loyalty and give them a chance to redeem themselves and make meritorious deeds."

Liu Kun was just furious just now, but now he calmed down and thought about it, Murong Xin's persuasion was not entirely reasonable, so he waved his hand: "Since the general is pleading for mercy, I will spare you this time. But, again,

Next time, I will definitely kill you, so go ahead!"

"Thank you so much, General! Thank you so much, General!" The attendant quickly thanked him, got up and ran away.

Murong Xin slowly retracted his gaze and sighed: "Your Majesty, if what I expected is correct, Director Wang must be taking Yu Liang's family to Toujingkou or Haimen. Judging from the distance, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up. And Yu Liang will surely

It was heading to Shanyin (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province).

The governor of Kuaiji (the official residence of Wu Domestic History) ordered his brother Yu Bing to send troops to help the King of Qin. From Jiankang to Shanyin, which is 700 miles away, it cannot be reached in a day or two. Your Majesty can urgently order the counties and counties along the way to pay more attention and send fast horses at the same time.

If we chase him, we might be able to stop Yu Liang!"

"Send the order, dispatch the manpower immediately without delay!" Liu Kun turned around and ordered hurriedly without thinking.

"Yes!" The two attendants hurried away.

Although the order had been issued, Liu Kun also believed that his men would carry it out well, but he was not sure whether he could capture Yu Liang. The area from Jiankang to Shanyin was mostly mountainous and forested, not to mention that Yu Liang was a Hua Jin.

A master's acumen and endurance far exceed those of ordinary people. In complex terrain, the difficulty of hunting will undoubtedly increase.

At that time, Wu County and Kuaiji were bounded by Zhejiang (Qiantang River), with Wu County to the north and Kuaiji to the south of the Yangtze River. However, Liu Kun's actual control area was only in Wu County, and Kuaiji was in the hands of Yu Liang's brother, Wu Domestic Shi Yu Bing.

It is conceivable that once Yu Liang passed Zhejiang, Liu Kun could only look forward to it and sigh.

Yu Bing's status is relatively special. Although it is an important town, its main responsibility is actually to protect the property and estates of the overseas Chinese gentry. It generally ignores the changes in the political situation of the court. Therefore, whether it is the earliest Wang Dun or today's Liu Kun

, or perhaps the previous Sima Rui and his son turned a blind eye to him.

Yu Bing represented the interests of all the overseas Chinese gentry, which was the most fundamental reason why Yunfeng dared to send the female gentlemen from Jiankang to the manors of Wang, Yu and Xun for refuge.

Suddenly, Liu Kun's bad mood got worse. Xun Song, Huan Yi, Bian Yi, Xi Jian, Wang Dao, Yu Liang and other representative figures among the overseas gentry all joined Yunfeng. This was quite significant.

Because he was abandoned by the gentry with overseas surnames, the other surnames of Kong, Taiyuan Wang, Du, etc. who stayed in Jiankang wanted soldiers and power, but they were useless.

Watching the servant's back disappear, Liu Kun suddenly asked: "I don't understand. I have been so gentle and kind to the gentry with the surname Qiao. Not only did I not do anything, but I even tried to win them over, but the King of Qin made it clear that he would rob them in the future."

land,

Aren't they worried? Are they willing to let their wealth fall into the hands of others? Why do they still support the King of Qin? Is it just for the ridiculous Senate instead of actually sharing the world? Yi Luogei, tell me!"

"This" Murong Xuan was embarrassed for a while. In fact, he was not clear about the reason. The strategy of governing the country advocated by Yunfeng had already been spread through Xi Jian. To be honest, it cannot be said that it is not attractive, but the most important thing is Liu Kun's character.

.

Although the seam in the sky that was arranged to usurp the Sima clan was hard to grasp, it was precisely because of the seam in the sky that it chilled people's hearts. As the saying goes, too much is not enough, Liu Kun just went too far, and the nobles all

If you are not a fool, what if you have evidence? What if you don’t have evidence? They have already identified Liu Kun as the murderer. Such insidious and vicious methods make people feel insecure. Who dares to work with him?

Even Murong Xin himself often couldn't figure out the meaning behind Liu Kun's smile, and he lived a life of fear.[

In fact, in Murong Xin's view, if he had not used such methods at the beginning, but directly used strong troops to force Sima Shao to abdicate to the young master, and then looked for opportunities to force him to abdicate, the effect might have been better, although he would have been accused of being overbearing and would have been criticized.

History is written as transgression, but this is the normal procedure for seeking to usurp the throne since Cao Wei, and it will not make people afraid.

Murong Xin was not present when Liu Kun went through the three steps of plotting to usurp the throne. For all the dignitaries, what shocked them most was the death of Nanton Wang Zong and Zheng Achun, and Nanton Wang Zong's grief and anger before his death.

Zheng Achun's help before his death made them unforgettable for a long time.

You know, although Nanton Wangzong is not a very good character, he is Liu Kun's most loyal lackey. After losing his use value, he kills at will. This is a typical cunning rabbit to die, and the lackey is cooked! Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty

Killing the heroes meant that the heroes were a threat to him. But how could the Nanton Wangzong be a threat to the Sima clan king who had no real power? At that moment, the powerful people only sympathized with the Nanton Wangzong and forgot about their past hatred.

.

Zheng Achun has long had a reputation as a virtuous and virtuous person, and her performance has always been worthy of it. However, because she became Liu Kun's pawn and was exploited by him, she was forced to death! Zheng Achun was the emperor of Xiaoyuan.

Even if she lost her virginity, why would she die? At most, she would be imprisoned or deposed. When Zheng Achunsuke committed suicide in front of the palace, Liu Kun probably wouldn't know how many people were secretly weeping for it?

Murong only inquired about everything after returning from Liaodong, and felt that it was very inappropriate. If he had been present, he would have persuaded Liu Kun to be as gentle as possible, but the deal was already done, what else could be done? Doing so would only push the ministers further and further away.

.Because no one knows whether he will be the next Nanton King Sect or Zheng Achun.

Comparing Liu Kun and Yunfeng again, the gap is immediately apparent. No matter what Yunfeng says, he has never used insidious means to harm anyone, nor will he blame others randomly. He always gives people a feeling of being upright and bright.

.

Because of Li Xiong's death, Liu Kun secretly sent someone to Hanzhong to investigate, but he was greatly disappointed with the conclusion. Li Xiong did die from excessive indulgence, and was not the murderer of Yunfeng, and Yunfeng was not bad to Li Xiong.

Except for Empress Ren, Li Xiong's wives and concubines were basically not deprived of their property, so Liu Kun could not use this as an argument.

Yunfeng's other atrocities, such as genocide, massacre of prisoners of war, and the uprising in Beijing, etc., he himself publicized everywhere, with such a complacent look that Liu Kun would start from the beginning even if he wanted to criticize.

In the eyes of the Jiangdong nobles, Yunfeng is a real villain and Liu Kun is a hypocrite. Obviously, a real villain is easier to get along with than a hypocrite. At least when you work with a real villain, as long as you abide by the rules, you don't have to worry about being plotted against, whereas a hypocrite

As the master, one can only be in fear all day long. Although Yunfeng is not the ideal master of the nobles, but when choosing one from the other, what better choice is there besides leaning towards Yunfeng?

However, Murong did not dare to say this. He could express his own opinions on the flaws in Liu Kun's decree, but he could not accuse Liu Kun of having problems with his character. This was related to a person's fundamentals and no one could accept it.

After a moment's hesitation, Murong said perfunctorily: "Back then, the King of Qin took advantage of Wang Dun's rebellion to get married to the Xun and Yu clans. Through Wang Xizhi, Xie Shang made friends with the Wang and Xie clans, and the Qiao surnamed gentry clan

The roots are intertwined, for example, Xi Jian, whose eldest daughter Xi Xuan is Wang Xixuan's main wife, Qin Wang Xu Xixuan runs Waguan Temple, which is equivalent to making friends with Xi Jian. I thought that your Majesty came a step too late!"

This explanation gave an objective factor to the gentry with the overseas surname returning to Yunfeng. To Liu Kun's ears, it was quite pertinent, so he shook his head and said, "I should have crossed the river earlier back then, but now it's too late to regret it. That's right."

, Since the nobles surnamed Qiao have betrayed, the nobles surnamed Wu must also be under strict supervision. From today on, any person from Gu, Lu, Zhou Zhou Mansion, etc. will not be allowed to leave Jiankang without my order! Otherwise, they will be punished for treason!"

"Yes!" Another attendant followed the order and left.

Murong's lips moved, as if he wanted to persuade, but he couldn't open his mouth. What else could he do? Although it was just drinking poison to quench thirst. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.
