The city of Hangzhou at night is brightly lit, with long lamps hanging on the streets, creating a majestic look.

The Shence Army and the Imperial Guard began to patrol the city to prevent any sergeants and bandits from taking advantage of the situation to rob, attack wealthy households, burn, kill, and rob, in order to maintain public security and stability in Hangzhou City.

Since the Yang Wu regime came out to calm the people and announced that everything was normal and would not impose sanctions or threats on anyone, the people in the city were reassured and their fearful mood finally calmed down.

Although many people mourned the demise of the Wuyue Kingdom, the people could accept that King Qian Chu of Wuyue was temporarily killed, and the royal family members were all under guard and would continue to be reused by the court.

A temporary mansion.

Su Chen, Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, Xu Kai, Gao Yue, Zhang Yi and others gathered together to drink and talk.

"Haha, we didn't expect that we would meet again and be able to fulfill our ambitions and accomplish the great task of destroying Wu Yue."

Han Xizai was very happy. He had determined to pacify the world and do great things in his youth. However, when he was seventy years old, he was still depressed and very frustrated. He had several ups and downs. Later, when he was promoted, his family and country were ruined again. makeup

Han Xizai was bored at home for a while and almost felt depressed.

This time, Su Chen secretly invited him to talk about his great ideals. After his great ambitions, he was infected by Han Xizai, and his blood boiled again, and his dream was still alive.

Yang Wu said worriedly: "You are worried that Yang Ling'er and his son will take the opportunity to win over Su Chen's old ministers before they see that your old ministers from the Southern Tang Dynasty are controlling the government. They may do harm to them and form two parties. Once Pan You, Zhang Ji, Zhu Kuangye and other new party members are waiting for them, they will If you also vote, it will be even easier for this political party."

Xu Xuan said: "It's a pity that the members of Li Tang's royal family are not here and can't be seen. If he had used us earlier, why worry about failing to accomplish his great cause? How could we end up with the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the clan."

Xu Xuan would definitely reject me if I were asked to be the king, because I have experienced the experience of being an official in the Southern Tang Dynasty. I am convinced that my talents will very likely lead to death if I meet the Ming Dynasty.

[Search "Spring Gift" on Xiaoxiang APP to receive 500 book coins for new users, and 200 book coins for old users] Yang Wu smiled and said: "Haha, without the courage of General Lin Renzhao, Xu Xuan's plan will be a confrontation. These generals and soldiers of Song Dynasty."

Xu Xuan continued: "Dengmeng belongs to the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It seems to have few mountains, many plains, and many resources. However, it is close to the small sea, so it has to retreat to undersea trade. And there is no salt field. You can't refine sea salt. You have no way to purify it. , when the time comes, you will not be able to sell refined salt to the Xiao Song Dynasty, the Western Regions, the vassal towns, the Southern Han Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom and other places to obtain small amounts of materials and gold and silver, increase the living income of the people of the Wu Kingdom, and enrich the country but weaken the soldiers. At that time, it is Worrying about consumption is like spending time in Xiao Song Dynasty!" Zhuang

Xu Xuan said: "In that matter, you should be more careful. When the time comes, it will also depend on the situation and Ling'er's wishes. Do you want to force you to give up power, or do you want to do what is right? , it depends on the specific circumstances.”

Han Xizai looked at Xu Xuan with disapproving eyes and praised: "What Yixuan saw is correct. Xiao Song does not have those problems. If you take advantage of it, it will divide Xiao Song's strength. After eight years of reserve, you will have no chance of the Northern Expedition." , and the battle for hegemony in heaven begins with Xiao Song."

Zhang Yi sighed: "The Southern Tang Dynasty was seriously ill at that time. There is a cure. It must be regressed and deepened reforms. Just because it was just ended, your restoration organization was full of vigor and invincible. Before it combined with Deng Meng, it had to be Taking into account the interests of the old nobles of Su Chen Kingdom, how to make retrograde changes and appease the people is the top priority."

Xu Xuan was very excited after hearing what we said, because I had known about this trend for a long time and had discussed it with Han Xizai.

At that time, Deng Meng said: "Look at General Lu and other old troops in Baiyundu, they don't seem to be senior at all. We should beware of our recent rebellion and fight for the position of crown prince."

Han Xizai analyzed: "It's wrong. After all, the lord Yang Ling is just a man. Now under the banner of restoring the national flag, a person of Deng Meng's blood needs to stand up. As the lord, order Deng Meng's old troops to surrender, just like the end of the Qin Dynasty." , the eight kingdoms want to restore their country, and they are all looking for the descendants of the eight royal families. Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu should protect Chu Yi Emperor Xiong Xin, and it is reasonable to kill him first. "

"Yixuan, what does he think?" Xu Kai asked Deng Mengzhuang.

Gao Yue nodded and said: "That's right. Xu Xuan is good at leading troops and using tactics, arranging troops and forming formations. You are good at building the court and governing the country and the people. Combining the two, there are worries inside, but you can successfully eliminate Su Chen. Alas, what a pity. , the former master Li Yu did not trust you after that!"

Lu Chaoqun had a deep affection for Xu Xuan, so he naturally hoped that his brother would be the emperor, so that he could repay Su's father for raising him.

Gao Yue suggested: "You didn't follow Long's merits. Under the founding of the country, enfeoffment and official promotion, you made preparations that day, took the lead in occupying some confidential departments, and gradually formed a party with Deng Meng as the core. In that way, you could absorb fewer people." People join and retreat to strengthen the small team, and the lord Yang Ling is Yixuan's sister. Even if he wants to take the Zen position these days, the small power should be given to Xu Xuan to be the leader of the Wu Kingdom."

"Yang Ling'er and others are definitely willing to repay a male emperor like that. It is in line with the ethics of the Central Plains. How can a man do politics? Once the Wu Kingdom becomes small, there will be no conflict over who will be the real king of the Wu Kingdom. You, Yang Ling'er, are local The father and son will launch a palace coup to seize power."

In the future, Lu Chaoqun is worried that after being used, he will be assassinated by the generals of Baiyundu, just like Emperor Chu Yi Xiong Xin during the Chu-Han Dynasty, and Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, etc., so you hope that your brother Deng Meng will come to help you.

When, with the help of Xu Xuan and his ministers, he established the Kingdom of Wu, annexed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and became the overlord of the south, Lu Chaoqun was difficult to control. You are a man, so you are suitable to be the King of Wu all the time.

"Without Yixuan's ability to do business, you are like a cash cow. It will weaken the national treasury revenue and reduce the military and national strength. It is the worst way to pay taxes to the people." Xu Kai couldn't help but admire.

Zhang Yi sighed: "What Mr. Han said is that you should be careful less. The bad thing is that Yang Ling'er, his son, and others are mostly military generals, and you control the operation of the imperial court."

Xu Xuan put down the wine glass, smiled slightly and said: "Your idea is basically the same as that of all the villains. At present, Xiao Song is the only one who has no power and trend to swallow up mountains and rivers and unify the sky, but Xiao Song is not sure of everything, because There were no feudal vassals in the northwest, no Northern Han Dynasty in the Jin region, and no Liao Kingdom and Youyun Eighteen States in the north. In addition, the Song Dynasty had just been established for seven years, and Zhao Kuangyin had no intention of passing the throne to my son, but my seventh brother Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne. In your heart, internal and external troubles exist. You only need to establish the Kingdom of Wu first, then stabilize the court and the situation, recruit talents, stabilize the Kingdom of Wu, train elite infantry and cavalry, find the right opportunity to recapture Huaibei, and wipe out the Xiao Song Dynasty in this way , and is easy.”

At that time, the head of the political power needs to be given up and it is appropriate for Xu Xuan to proclaim himself emperor.

Lu Chaoqun probably didn't mean that either. You could always be the monarch of Wu. As long as you avenged the Wu and Yue regime and re-established the ancestral temple, your mission would be completed.

Only by becoming an emperor himself and carrying out small reforms to make the people of heaven rich and the country peaceful and peaceful can the troubled times of the Seven Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms be completely started and retreat into a peaceful and peaceful new dynasty. Han Xizai said: "The Southern Tang Dynasty must have been incorporated.

The vast land united the Southern Tang Dynasty and Dengmeng Retreat, just like the Wu Kingdom in the Eight Kingdoms era. Together with the Xiao Song Dynasty, Shu Kingdom, etc., it once again formed a situation of eight kingdoms. However, at that time, the Shu Kingdom was powerful, but the only one in the front was not

The Xiao Song Dynasty and the Wu Kingdom in your south will confront each other from north to south. If you destroy each other, you will be able to dominate the world!"
