After all, Shouchun is only a county seat. Even if it was the front line for the attack on Soochow in the early years, the transportation was well-connected, and the city was strong and food was abundant, but the place was still quite cramped. Tens of thousands of gentry rushed in suddenly, not to mention the city, and even Huainan County was miserable.
I don't know how many people can't find a place to live, and the lawsuits are full of court cases. However, there is no one in the imperial court who has this dilemma. After Wang Yan entered the city, he occupied an official residence early. Although it is not as luxurious and generous as the mansion in Luoyang, it finally has a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
It's just that after entering Shouchun, it is difficult to see him.
"Brother, is your health better?" Director Wang asked in a warm voice, sitting in front of the couch.
Now serving as the bridge between Sima Rui and the emperor, Wang Pilot frequently came to Shouchun to investigate the changes in the dynasty. Now that he's here, how can he bypass Wang Yan, the slave brother
"Cough cough..." Wang Yan coughed weakly and sighed, "It's better than a few days ago. Alas, who would have thought that this journey would be so difficult."
After traveling thousands of miles to move the capital, Wang Yan, a 50-year-old man, fell ill on the couch. The original jade-like complexion has turned sallow, and the wrinkles and white hair have also added a lot. In addition to being weak and sick, how can there still be the style of the head of celebrities of the day
Seeing Brother Cong's appearance, Director Wang advised: "Brother, don't panic, take care of yourselves. It just so happens that there are many things in the Spring Festival, so you can avoid it for a while."
Hearing his brother's words, Wang Yan showed a smile on his face: "Your Majesty has his own ideas, how can I stop it?"
After moving the capital to Shouchun, the pressure of life was gone, and the little emperor began to try to control the government. The literati who accompanied him wanted to find a chance to get ahead, and there were many southerners who wanted to take the opportunity to enter the dynasty. There are more and more people who are willing to make plans for the emperor.
Wang Yan was not a person who did things, but he was cunning and clever, and he knew how much risk it would take to mediate disputes between the North and the South. Who would be involved in such a thing? Just taking advantage of the illness, he hid. After all, he was the head of Shilin, and the little emperor did not dare to neglect Wang Yan, but made him once again become an idler who was famous but did not need to serve.
These words, my brother said nothing more. Wang Yan also warned: "You and Aaron are on the side of King Langya, so don't take it lightly. I think the court is already in chaos, and the emperor is afraid that the situation will not be able to support the situation. If there is a chance, it will be more beneficial to push the king of Langya. My Wang family."
Aaron is Wang Dun's nickname. Wang Yan was very optimistic about this younger brother, and he was even more aware of the plots of the two. He served on the little emperor's side and occupied an important position. Wang Dao and Wang Dun followed Sima Rui to find another way out. No matter who wins or loses, the Langya Wang Clan will always benefit. This is the way that top-level gatekeepers like them are accustomed to survive.
Wang Dao nodded: "Brother's words are very true. However, will there be hidden dangers in referring to the marriage? In case that Liang Zixi refuses to marry the county owner, and is divorced from the emperor. Wouldn't it be more difficult to defend against the Huns?"
Because of the Huns' change, the emperor finally decided to marry his sister to Liang Feng, which has long been rumored. For this method, Director Wang really couldn't see it. In this way, isn't the suspicion put on the bright side? Anyway, Liang Zixi is also the governor of the three states, and the official worships Sikong. If he is forced to rebel, who will benefit
Wang Yan smiled: "Just when the capital was moved to Shouchun, and such a thing happened, how could the emperor not be suspicious? However, Liang Feng is very thoughtful, and if he really disagrees, maybe he will marry the county owner. Otherwise, he is more likely to marry a Gentlewoman, let the envoy run for a while. After all, it's not a barbarian like Liu Yuan, and even if he really has his heart, he won't show it so quickly. What's more, the fake Han and Bingzhou are next to each other, and they can run away from others, but they can't escape. He, the governor of the same state, will always contain one or two."
Hearing what Wang Yan said, Director Wang felt slightly relieved. Now, unlike before, the emperor has moved his capital to Shouchun. If he can't resist the Xiongnu, I am afraid that Jiangdong will suffer too. In the best case, the imperial court and Bingzhou defended against the Xiongnu in the north, while Sima Rui laid the foundation in Jiangdong. When the consumption is almost the same, he will take the lead and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
It's just that the little emperor is too young. If he reigns for more than ten years like Emperor Hui, he will be in trouble.
But what is Director Wang's heart, this thought is just a combination, and it is suppressed, and nothing is left on the surface. Nodding with a smile, he said, "This is the best."
Everyone is waiting for the state's response. However, when the envoy returned to Shouchun and presented the memorial, it was still a big surprise.
"Liang Qing said he is no longer married?" The little emperor raised his brows as he looked at the report. This is completely different from what he thought. If I remember correctly, Liang Feng now has only one direct son, and his knees are empty. It's unreasonable to say this at such a young age.
Wouldn't it be a slap in the face for rejecting the emperor's proposed marriage now and marrying again in two years? And if he really doesn't want to continue the string, how can his family business be stabilized? Not to mention others, even the ministers and subordinates, may have a second heart!
It's not the same as expected, how to deal with it
On the side, Song Shizhong cupped his hands and said, "Isn't the emperor's trial a test of General Liang's heart? If he has a bad heart, he has thousands of ways to deal with the emperor's marriage, why should he speak out against his wife? In this way, On the contrary, Bingzhou can rest assured.”
On the other side, Gou Xi sneered: "Not necessarily. I remember that Liang Zixi once committed erysipelas, maybe he was inhumane, so he didn't marry."
Gou Xi was always worried about Liang Feng's capture of Sizhou and the withdrawal of the escort soldiers halfway through, and his words were rude. Although this is vulgar, it is not impossible.
Can't be humane, what's the use of marrying a wife? Might as well make a statement and let the emperor feel at ease. These words are more believable. The little emperor's eyes suddenly burst into brilliance. If this is the case, it would be best for Liang Feng not to marry! The child's interest is meager, and the first-born son is only nine years old. Whether he can live to adulthood is still a question. And Liang Feng himself is weak and sickly, and may die at any time. In this way, the children are young and the foundation is unstable, isn't it a precursor to chaos
And myself, now only fourteen years old. As long as you live long enough, there is hope to regain the mountains and rivers! As for Liang Feng, now that he has no objection, wouldn't it be better to let him fight with the Huns recklessly
With a smile on his face, the little emperor nodded: "Since Liang Qing has said this, I will not force it. I heard that Wang Mijun is about to move in Yuzhou again. General Gou, the important task of suppressing bandits will be entrusted to you."
After all, Gou Xi was also the governor of Yuzhou. Now Yuzhou is a barrier for Shouchun. This responsibility cannot be avoided. Taking a step forward, he clasped his fists to lead the order. The ministers next to him also changed the subject with a wink, and began to discuss ways to deal with the Xiongnu.
Since Bingzhou is still credible, this Xiongnu should take some energy and clean up.

"Liang Zixi refused to marry?" Liu He was also shocked when he heard the news, "Isn't he afraid that Emperor Jin would be suspicious?"
"He didn't reject Emperor Jin, but stated that he didn't want to marry again." Liu Yuan picked up the medicine bowl and drank the concoction inside. He coughed a second time before answering.
I don't know if the spring cold has not subsided, or if the age is getting older, Liu Yuan's condition has not been completely cured. I recently started taking medicine again. Fortunately, there is no worsening trend, just some drugs can calm it down.
"But he hasn't arrived yet... This is really hard to understand..." Liu He was a little at a loss. Could it be that Liang Feng wasn't afraid that his son's interest would be weak and there would be a problem with the inheritance? He is now a duke, and if he has no children, he is going to win the title!
"To deal with that Sima Xiaoer, this excuse is enough. But that Liang Feng's intention is probably more than that." Liu Yuan sighed, "Haven't you heard the rumors that came from Bingzhou recently? After the Buddha got married and had children, he became a monk and had an epiphany. Some people say, if life is not too expensive, why do you often beat your wife? These rumors and proverbs that can't make it to the table are what make people dread."
In this world, prophecies and rumors are the easiest to deceive people. There has long been a saying in the Qin Dynasty, "Whoever died of Qin, Hu also!", and in the Han Dynasty there were also prophecies such as "Illness is ready to stand", and even when the Sima family replaced Cao, isn't there a rumor that "three horses are in the same groove"?
Liang Feng had a reputation as a Buddhist son, and now he asserted that he would not marry, as if he had fulfilled the miracle at the beginning. No matter what he did, at least the people in the territory would be more blind faith and stabilize the situation. At the same time, he eased the relationship with the little emperor, so as not to let those aristocratic families who tend towards the imperial court have any thoughts. As for laying the foundation for the future, when you want to be independent. Whether to marry a wife or not to have children, isn't he the only one who has the final say
This move is smart. But this time, Liu Yuan was completely certain that Liang Zixi had the will to stand on his own. The threat to the state is several times greater. This spring, it's time to hit the party.
After making up his mind, Liu Yuan ordered: "I ordered Shi Le to lead the army to go on an expedition, to take Yu and Yan together with Wang Mi, and attack Shouchun!"
"I heard that Yin Zuti of Henan, who is based in Luoyang, is attacking several counties in Sizhou. Does the emperor not send troops to guard?" Liu He asked.
"Don't panic, let him take Chengchi Duo. The more refugees in Sizhou and Bingzhou, the better." Liu Yuan smiled coldly. Doesn't the surnamed Liang like to shelter refugees? Just let him pick it up. Now the black market in Tong Bingzhou of the Han state has been completely decided. Without the import of salt and grain, there is a great famine everywhere. He wanted to see how long this Buddha's benevolent heart could last!
There was an itch in his throat again, Liu Yuan picked up the silver pot beside him, poured a glass of warm wine, and sent it to his stomach. When the wheat millet of Shangdang is ready, it is time to use troops!

"Master has sex recently?" Jiang Da frowned during the routine pulse check. Why does this pulse look like a phantom
Liang Feng coughed lightly: "Speaking of which, I was just about to ask Ji En. Recently, I... uh, I can burst into flames occasionally. Is my kidney qi enough?"
Hearing this, Jiang Da almost didn't give him a look: "My lord, don't be greedy. Take good care of yourself, and strengthen your body. But the yang roots are full, which is always a sign of recovery, but do you occasionally get an erection in the morning? "
No, it usually wakes up in the middle of the night while massaging the prostate... But if you kill Liang Feng, you won't say it. Turning the subject abruptly, he said, "I know, I'd better prescribe some medicine and take care of it slowly."
It's a good thing that Yi Delay will go to war from time to time, otherwise he will really become a concubine and will suck him dry on the bed.
Jiang Da sighed: "Before the lord suffered from erysipelas, you still need to have a solid foundation. There are also bow horses, and you should not practice too hard. The spring is warm and cold, and it is easy to get sick. Be careful."
Always listen to what the health care doctor says. After checking the pulse and acupuncture again, Jiang Da just retired. The dream was shattered by someone, so Liang Feng had to clean up his mood and take care of his body step by step. In the past few days, the house has been calm. He thought that Duan Qin would come to him for advice, but he didn't know why, and he didn't bother. Kind of weird.
But these are small things. What matters is the reaction of the Huns. Before the marriage proposal failed, the fake man completely cut off the black market, and even Hedong salt could not be bought. It is not difficult to guess Liu Yuan's mind. Just look at what he will do next.
Sure enough, a few days later, the Huns sent troops and aimed directly at Yuzhou!
