Chapter 127 Heading to Jiangzhou (Additional update 9)

Nowadays, due to Liu Yu's efforts, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has reached its peak after the Yongjia Rebellion.

Not counting Qiaojizhou and Qiaoyouzhou established under self-comfort, the Eastern Jin Dynasty today includes Yang, Jing, Jiang, Xiang, Jiao, Guang, Si, Yan, Liang, Yu, Xu, Qing, Yi, Ning and most of the Western Jin Dynasty

native land.

Among them, Jiangzhou, one of the major southern states, has always occupied a very important position.

In the first year of Yuankang in the Western Jin Dynasty, Jiangzhou was divided into Yuzhang County, Poyang County, Luling County, Linchuan County, Nankang County, Jian'an County, Jin'an County and Wuchang County, Guiyang County and Ancheng County of Jingzhou.

Established by the county.

Because Jiangzhou is the buffer zone between Jingzhou and Yangzhou, that is, Jiankang, its strategic position is very important.

The current governor of Jiangzhou is Wang Hong, the talker of the Wang family in Langya.

He is also the person Liu Yizhen is going to visit.

The administrative seat of Jiangzhou is in Nanchang County, Yuzhang County. It can be reached in just a few days from Jiankang, so Liu Yizhen took Fan Daoji and two hundred soldiers there.

The real mission was to find Wang Hong, but in name, the imperial court appointed Liu Yizhen as an envoy to inspect the work in Jiangzhou.

Along the way, you can see the river scenery, and you can also cross Poyang Lake to enjoy the scenery. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a publicly funded tour.

Naturally, the Jiangzhou officialdom also learned of Liu Yizhen's arrival early.

At this time, the governor of Jiangzhou was not in the government office, but playing chess with another old man in a quiet courtyard.

"You lost."

The old man threw the chess pieces away, and Wang Hong also put down the chess pieces.

"Yuan Liang's chess skills are getting better and better."

"No, it's not that my chess skills are superb, but that your mind is confused. When your mind is confused, the formations on the chessboard will naturally be messed up."

Wang Hong sighed: "The one who knows me is Yuan Liang."

"But it's an official matter?"

"Exactly."

"Then I don't want to hear it, and you shouldn't say anything."

The old man was very arrogant and ignored Wang Hong when he saw that he was obsessed with mundane matters.

"Yuan Liang is quite dashing."

Wang Hong looked at this quiet little courtyard with envy: "It will be great if I can be as free and easy as Yuan Liang."

Old man: "As long as you want, you can."

Wang Hong smiled and shook his head, but did not refute.

He is different from the old man. The old man can just go to the foot of Nanshan and plant chrysanthemums leisurely as soon as he gets his official seal, and let the outside world change, and he is at ease.

But Wang Hong can't.

He is the current talker of the Langya Wang family.

Even though he is now being released, no one will look down upon him. Instead, countless pairs of eyes are staring at him more closely.

"Does Yuan Liang know about Liu Yu?"

"I don't want to listen!"

"He has a son named Liu Yizhen."

"Shut up!"

"Then Liu Yizhen..."

The old man covered his ears childishly, but Wang Hong didn't care and confided all his troubles these days to the chrysanthemums everywhere.

"Ever since Liu Yizhen brought my brother into the pit of fire and treated me, the Wang family, in an unkind and unjust way, I knew that I might not be able to live a stable life for a few days."

"In less than two months since he came to Jiankang, he has turned the family upside down. He is probably coming out now to avoid the limelight, but why did he come to Jiangzhou?"

"Yuan Liang, you don't know, because my Wang family is too close to the royal family, this will lead to a disaster for my Wang family sooner or later. Now that Liu Yizhen came to Jiangzhou with the will of Song Guogong, he probably brought the disaster with him.

."

"..."

After Wang Hong chatted to himself for a long time, he took a cup of honey water soaked with chrysanthemums on the table and drank it in one gulp.

"Let's go, Yuan Liang! If I can survive this disaster, I will definitely come and live in seclusion in the mountains with you in my later years. Remember to leave a place for me on your bed!"

Having said that, Wang Hong walked out of the courtyard without looking back, rejuvenated and actively facing what was going to happen next.

The old man also put down his concealed palm and looked at Wang Hong's leaving figure and Nanshan Mountain in the distance.

After a long time, it all turned into a sigh.

After Wang Hong returned to Nanchang, he prepared a luxurious welcome banquet for Liu Yizhen. He had people waiting at the pier early. When Liu Yizhen came up, there was a roar of gongs and drums and colorful flags fluttering.

Welcoming Liu Yi is really a farewell to Jiangzhou. After all, Wang Hong is the governor of Yizhou and the head of the Langya Wang family. Even Liu Yu is qualified to hold a banquet in the county government office.

Liu Yizhen and others were led all the way to the reception place, and Wang Hong had been waiting for them for a long time.

"I have long heard that Duke Chang'an is a young hero, and when I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary."

Liu Yizhen also met Wang Hong for the first time.

It is different from Xie Hui, who is also the head of a wealthy family.

Xie Hui is like the dazzling sun in the sky, exuding his nobility all the time, and he feels like a "young master without equal in the world".

But Wang Hong...

But like Xu Xianzhi who came up from Mowei, he was as calm as water.

Just like Xie Hui, he looks smiling on the surface, but no one can see through.

If I have to say it, it is probably somewhat similar to Wang Maide.

It’s that kind of forbearance!

Wang Maide kept tolerating the Hu Xia rule, and finally climbed to the position of the Hu Xia prime minister.

But this kind of counterattack temperament that can only be seen in "Diaosi" is really not worthy of the temperament of Wang Hong, the dignified head of the Langya Wang family.

Even the history books recorded that Wang Hong was a bit "frivolous", but based on today's meeting, he knew that the history books were lying again.

Can a frivolous person bring the Langya Wang family back to life?

Even after Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty, Liu Yilong, executed Xie Hui and Xie Lingyun, the Wang family reached its peak, which is enough to illustrate the depth of Wang Hongcheng's palace.

At the same time, Wang Hong was also observing Liu Yizhen.

Ever since his silly brother Wang Yu was tricked by Liu Yizhen, Wang Hong began to investigate Liu Yizhen's information.

This investigation surprised Wang Hong.

Not because of what Liu Yizhen did in Jiankang, but in Guanzhong.

Because Wang Hua's younger brother Wang Tanshou was Liu Yilong's subordinate official, and Liu Yilong's confidant was also Wang Hua, a member of the Langya Wang clan.

From their mouths, Wang Hong was able to obtain first-hand and accurate information.

Compared with the popular "Thousands of Miles War", Wang Hong is more concerned about Liu Yizhen's new policies in Guanzhong and his adjustment to Buddhism.

Especially the verse "Everyone becomes a Buddha" made Wang Hong smell the danger.

That danger is called reform.

In the eyes of people like Wang Hong, the reform Liu Yu wanted to do was not called reform. It was at best a huge storm.

Reforms, such as Emperor Wen of the Wei Dynasty Cao Pi promulgated the "Nine Levels of Zhongzheng System", such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Salt and Iron Official Camp", and another example of Qin Shi Huang's "cars on the same track, books on the same text".

Things that can change the world like this are called reforms!

So Wang Hong knew that Liu Yi was really a dangerous person in an absolute sense.

Even Wang Hong regretted telling Wang Yu in his letter that he wanted him to make friends with Liu Yizhen.

Because since ancient times, no one with great courage who wanted to reform ended well.

If you want to benefit the future, you must have a contemporary consciousness.

Liu Yizhen...could it be an accident?

When I was almost finished writing this chapter, I found that nearly a thousand words had not been saved. It was a garbage website and made people vomit blood...
