Mei Changsu also understood this. He looked at Jamel Xiao guiltily, but said in a firm voice, "Your Majesty, it's time to make a decision. Let me go and let those rebellious officials and traitors have no excuse to march."
Jamel Xiao shook his head and said simply, "Brother Xiao Shu, why do you have to say such stupid things? Do you think those warlords who have become wild-minded will be willing to withdraw their troops if you are handed over at this time?"
Of course Mei Zhang and Su Chen knew about it, and he said with some reluctance, "At least we can buy some time until the generals who are truly loyal to the king arrive."
Jamel Xiao shook his head and said resolutely, "Brother Xiao Shu, you don't need to say anything, I won't send you out. You should help me think of any other solutions, right?"
Mei Changsu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "There is another way, which is to retreat to Hanzhong in the middle of Shu, leaving the Central Plains for those tigers and wolves to fight for."
Jamel Xiao did not expect that Mei Changsu's suggestion was this. Not long after he became emperor, he would actually want to be a king who would subjugate his country.
He asked unwillingly, "Is there really no other way?"
Mei Changsu knew that Jamel Xiao was a little unwilling, so he said frankly, "It's not impossible. You can also send Mingsheng to ask Qinwang from all over the country, and we will defend here. But in this case, what will be the consequences? You should also
Know."
Of course Jamel Xiao knew it. After their war, the entire beam was torn to pieces. The surrounding countries were watching with eager eyes. After a war, not only would the people be destitute, but most of the land would be lost.
But he was unwilling to hand over the inheritance of his ancestors just like this, but he had no time to hesitate, so he said seriously, "If we go to Shuzhong, will there be a rebellion?"
Mei Changsu shook his head and explained patiently, "We have eliminated the rebels in the Western Region. When we go there, we can easily gather troops and horses. The remaining rebels are not a concern at all."
Seeing what Mei Changsu said, Jamel Xiao could only bite the bullet and said, "In that case, we need to leave immediately. If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave."
Although Jamel Xiao was a little reluctant to leave, he still took Concubine Jing and his family with him. He had 50,000 wounded soldiers who escaped from Meiling, and adding the garrison in Kyoto, the number was only 70,000 to 80,000.
It was simply not enough to resist the dozen or so rebels.
Mei Changsu made the right choice. The rebels in the Western Region had already been wiped out in Meiling. Xiao Jingyan came to Shu and guarded the various fortresses entering Shu, trying his best to eliminate the rebel forces in Shu.
In addition, Mei Changsu could mobilize the forces of Prince Mu's Mansion in Yunnan to assist, and it was easy to control Shuzhong.
Because the territory is relatively small, the accompanying officials are sufficient. Unlike before, there were no officials to help with the task.
After Jamel Xiao left, the rebels who claimed to be on the Qingjun side no longer marched towards Jinling, but began to grab money, food and territory.
But at this time, Nanchu, who was sharpening his sword, suddenly attacked everywhere. The generals who were fighting for territory were still immersed in the joy of becoming princes, but they were easily wiped out by Nanchu's army.
Xiao Jingrui originally had the blood of the Liang royal family. With his intervention, even the counties and counties of the central royal family had very little resistance and did not put much burden on Nanchu at all.
However, facing Daliang, who were all relatives and friends, Xiao Jingrui could not bear to carry out the action of equalizing land and property in Southern Chu. This also led to the failure of Nanchu's offensive, and it only annexed most of Daliang's territory.
Yan Yuqing was originally worried that if Nan Chu continued to do what she did, her natal family might also be in trouble. She was still wondering whether she should seek mercy from her third brother.
As a result, Xiao Jingrui stopped before she asked, and she became a little worried about Xiao Jingrui.
After all, she still knew the principle of not worrying about few but worrying about inequality, so she quickly asked Wang Yuedao, "Husband, will the third brother's doing this destabilize their military morale?"
Wang Yue sighed and said helplessly, "That's not true. After all, after a great family is destroyed, it will appear in a new way. It's just a reincarnation.
Just like when every country was founded, the officials were responsible for the rule of law and the people were very cohesive. After a long time, they gradually returned to the old path and became alienated from the people, which led to the destruction of the country.
This is the so-called water that can carry a boat or overturn it. It all depends on how the superior controls it."
Xiao Jingrui actually also had this doubt. He came today to ask Wang Yue if he was doing the right thing, but he didn't expect to hear Wang Yue's answer.
He asked with some worry, "Brother, isn't there a better way?"
Wang Yue also knew that Xiao Jingrui was coming, and he deliberately told him.
Without his consent, his subordinates here would not care about Xiao Jingrui being the emperor's grandson, and would definitely stop him from entering.
After listening to Xiao Jingrui's inquiry, Wang Yue said seriously, "Most people's requirements are actually very low. As long as you give them food and clothing, they will be grateful to you. You only need to use your
Just try to fulfill these rights as much as possible for your subordinates."
Xiao Jingrui frowned and asked with some certainty, "Brother, but the affairs of the court are all carried out by officials. What if those officials don't listen?
Just like the case of Qing Guogong, if Hu Gong and Hu Po hadn't escaped with the help of the Jiangzuo League, I'm afraid the court wouldn't have known about it at all."
Wang Yue knew that Xiao Jingrui had never learned any imperial skills at all, and only relied on a sincere heart. He felt that it was too late for him to make friends now. It would be better to let Xiao Jingrui have eyes and ears to know the following situation, so that he could be a wise king in the future.
.
So, he smiled and said, "What do you think of Emperor Liang's Xuanjing Division?"
When Xiao Jingrui heard this, he said without thinking, "That's just the butcher's knife in the emperor's hand. It can't be used to hurt others or yourself. Just like Xia Jiang, if it weren't for Xia Jiang, Daliang wouldn't be what it is now."
Wang Yue shook his head helplessly and corrected him seriously, "You are wrong. The Xuanjing Division only obeys the emperor's orders and can interrogate people. This was originally a good thing, but Emperor Liang used the wrong rights.
It's also too big.
Think about it, is it because of the Xuanjing Division that many officials are afraid?"
Xiao Jingrui nodded, but still said with some disapproval, "But it still does more harm than good."
Wang Yue knew that Xiao Jingrui was too kind, so he thought so, so he said sincerely, "You can divide the power in the hands of the Xuanjing Division into two, so that they can only arrest people for interrogation, and those who collect intelligence
Don’t give them rights.”
Xiao Jingrui thought about it for a moment, then asked with some uncertainty, "What the elder brother means is to set up an agency that specializes in investigating people's sentiments to collect intelligence, and let the Xuanjing Division be responsible for arresting people. Both agencies are controlled by the emperor."
?”
Wang Yue nodded and said with great appreciation, "That's it. As long as the emperor is not stupid and there is division of labor and cooperation between these two institutions, the government will definitely be better."
Xiao Jingrui thought about it and thought it made sense, but he raised his question again, "Brother, if these two organizations are colluding, how should we deal with it?"
Wang Yue looked at Xiao Jingrui and asked with a half-smile, "Then establish another inspectorate to specifically supervise these two institutions."
Xiao Jingrui nodded and said excitedly, "I knew it would be useful to ask Big Brother, so can I ask Big Brother for help?"
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his third brother, who had a straightforward personality, would actually be careful. He asked curiously, "What are you doing? Tell me."
Seeing that Wang Yue had discovered it, Xiao Jingrui said a little embarrassedly, "Brother, I don't know how to use an organization like this, but I think he must have a way. Brother, can you help me put these three organizations together?"
Organize it?"
Wang Yue looked at Xiao Jingrui and asked frankly, "Third brother, is it your father or grandfather? Are you a little worried about the Jiangzuo Alliance in my hands?"
He was sure that Xiao Jingrui had never revealed the information about the Yama Palace in his hands. Otherwise, no matter how courageous his grandfather was, he would not dare to attack the Jiang Zuo League in his hands.
Xiao Jingrui smiled sheepishly, and then said helplessly, "My father and grandfather do have concerns about the Jiangzuo Alliance, but I feel that the eldest brother will not harm me. It is better to let the eldest brother use the Jiangzuo Alliance to form
An organization that is beneficial to the people is in the hands of the eldest brother. What does the eldest brother think?"
Wang Yue looked at Xiao Jingrui's pleading eyes, sighed and said, "Third brother, have you ever thought that we two brothers must trust each other, but our descendants will be different?"
Xiao Jingrui waved his hands indifferently, and said firmly, "Brother, stop joking, just rely on your magical power. I feel that if the Chu Kingdom is destroyed in the future, eldest brother will probably still be so young."
Wang Yue looked at Xiao Jingrui with sincere eyes, even pleading, and asked curiously, "Don't you want to seek immortality?"
Xiao Jingrui shook his head and said with disgust, "Let's forget it. I'm worried about my eldest brother now. You said that my second brother and I will both die in the future, and you will be the only one alive. Will there be anyone familiar with you in the future?
What a terrible thing.”
Wang Yue was a little dumbfounded. He had long been accustomed to all kinds of lonely life and didn't care about it at all. But he didn't expect Xiao Jingrui to have seen through it at such a young age.
He understood that the reason why Xiao Jingrui made such an arrangement was to give Yama Luodian in his hands the opportunity to deal with those bad guys in a legitimate manner without worrying about the imperial court's fear, so he did not refuse anymore and readily agreed.
…
Since Wang Yue agreed to Xiao Jingrui, he integrated the Jiangzuo League and the Yama Luodian. Using the existing power of the Jiangzuo League and the Yama Luodian, he established the Ten Halls of Yama to divide the work and cooperate to monitor the entire world.
Officials and people from various countries have gradually adapted to the panic at the beginning, and feel that under the supervision of Yama Luodian, not only the people live a happy life, but even the officials feel less worried.
After all, there are not so many cases to work on. Officials in various counties only need to handle government affairs properly, which saves them half of the trouble and still receives the same salary. It is not very satisfying.
The royal families of various countries were very dissatisfied with this, because there was a knife hanging over their heads. It was only the new emperor of Southern Chu, Xiao Jingrui, who firmly supported him. Although the other royal families were angry, they could only endure it.
Time flies by, and a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. As Xiao Jingrui said, all the old friends have grown old, but Wang Yue is still so young.
Because Xiao Jingrui practiced the martial arts taught by Wang Yue, although his hair was gray, his body was still strong, but his vitality was obviously gradually passing away.
Of course Mei Changsu is still alive now, but his body was forcibly resuscitated by Wang Yue's medical skills. Compared to Xiao Jingrui, Mei Changsu looks more like a dying old man.
Looking at Wang Yue and Xiao Jingrui's healthy body, he said melancholy, "Brother, why don't you leave the job of being a judge to others? I really want to have a good rest and stay with Nihuang for a few years."
After hearing this, Xiao Jingrui said with great disdain, "Second brother, I am the Ghost King. I am responsible for patrolling various places, but I am busier than you. I didn't even put forward any opinions. You should just do your job well.
With some merits and the presence of my eldest brother, Lord Yama, you can live a little longer and not make Sister Nihuang lonely."
Wang Yue listened to the words of the two good brothers and was about to say something when he heard a beeping sound.
"Hey, the host has earned the title of Lord Yan, and has been recognized by the protagonist!"
"Hey, the host has met the return conditions of the Xianyu Film and Television System!"
"Hey, the time travel system is starting!"
"Hey, the startup is successful, ready to return to the original world!"
