Liu Yu shook his head: "Then I would like to ask Wang Zhenjun, is the cleaning of the court you are talking about the emperor's order? Has he officially issued an order for you to raise troops to serve the king? If there is no such order from the emperor, and you, a minister, raise an army, what does it mean?
Loyal minister or rebel?"
Wang Gong said bitterly: "His Majesty the Emperor put me here just to do this kind of thing. Do you know how dangerous his current situation is? Just like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms, around him, from his own relatives
Brothers, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were all treacherous villains who only cared about their own interests. The King of Kuaiji and Wang Guobao were surrounded by sycophants. These people just wanted to follow the crowd, gain power, and then go crazy to exploit and squeeze the people for their own benefit.
Sons of loyal and upright aristocratic families who seek personal gain can no longer gain a foothold in the court, so the emperor can only rely on us, the sons of Confucian scholars, to go out of the town to vassal vassals, just to use our military power to purge the court one day. This is Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty
His clothes carry bloody edicts, and we, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, are the ones who want to save the world."
Liu Yu sighed: "That means that Wang Zhenjun still has no official imperial edict. As long as you raise troops, you will still be regarded as a traitor and no one will follow you. Even if the Beifu Army is willing to follow you, the guards in other places will
If we raise an army to attack you, King Kuaiji and Wang Guobao will become loyal ministers. Is this the result you want?"
Wang Gong gritted his teeth and said: "The emperor is controlled and coerced by these traitors, and cannot issue edicts normally. Besides, these traitors have not officially committed suicide yet, and now they are just forming cliques for personal gain. Even Xie Xianggong is here, he can't bring them down."
Officially eradicated, but Xie Xianggong's kindness and good intentions did not bring good results. They seized the opportunity to attack crazily. Once Yecheng failed, they could not stand up, and the entire Beifu Army and the Xie family's decades of power were destroyed.
Once this happens, even if I want to repay Master Xianggong's teachings and fulfill my unfinished ambition, I will help them avenge themselves!"
"Liu Yu, you are the prospective son-in-law of the Xie family. The Xie family has been blessed by heaven and earth for you. Although the achievements you have made in the Beifu Army are due to your ability, they are also due to the support and care of the Xie family. They have been able to withstand it many times.
The pressure is on and you are inseparable. Even if you don’t want to achieve a career with me, you should at least repay the kindness of the Xie family. Don’t forget that it is Mrs. Wang, the Xie family’s daughter, who brought you back from the grassland this time.
Woolen cloth!"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "It is precisely to repay the gratitude of the Xie family that we should inherit Xie Xianggong's legacy. Think about it, why did Xianggong not take action against these treacherous ministers when he was alive? At that time, regardless of his power or the power in his hands,
The military strength is much stronger than yours now, so why can’t you do what he can do, but you are so radical as soon as you take office? Do you mean to say that Xie Xianggong’s knowledge is not as good as yours?”
Wang Gong shook his head: "It's not because of this. It's because my husband is soft-hearted and doesn't want to fall out with other aristocratic families. One is the emperor's brother and the other is his son-in-law. If they really get into trouble, what will others think of my husband? I'm afraid it's really true.
You will think of him as Dong Zhuo, Caoao, King Sima Xuan. With the current enemy, Jin State has been facing the pressure of life and death, so Mr. Xianggong chose to compromise and allow these traitors to be temporarily preserved. As long as it does not affect the overall situation, they can temporarily
Tolerate their presence."
"However, Mr. Xianggong's kindness and good intentions did not bring about their repentance, and in the end they were harmed by them. If not, why would I be here discussing with you how to avenge the Xie family? You are right, now
My power, popularity, and power are far inferior to those of your husband, but one thing I am better than them is that I am strong-willed and am not afraid of offending others or even risking my own life. I believe that,
There is righteousness in this world, and as long as the righteous people join forces and do not care about personal gains and losses, they will surely be able to frighten Zai Xiao and restore peace to the world!"
Wang Gong's righteous words, coupled with his resolute expression and powerful gestures, almost moved Liu Yu for a moment, but Liu Yu still sighed: "Wang Zhenjun, I believe you are sincere.
, but you cannot convince everyone in the world, they will only think that you are a rebel who wants to rebel, such as Su Jun, Zu Yue, and Wang Dun. You are called Qing Junzi, but in fact you want to monopolize power and commit treason in the future.
.So, it is not impossible for you to raise troops to eliminate traitors, but firstly, you need status, and secondly, you need timing. If those traitors do not make clear counteraction, you will not be able to take action without the emperor's order."
When Liu Yu said this, he paused and said in a deep voice: "Now there are two major vassal towns in the Jin Dynasty. One is Yangzhou, which has the Beifu Army, and the other is Jingzhou, which is also the old foundation of the Huan family. Over the past few decades, it has almost become a national
In the Kingdom of China, no matter who is appointed to take over these two places, it is impossible to quickly gain favors and control the armies of these two places. Therefore, although Wang Zhenjun has the name of governor, like Wang Chen of Jingzhou, he has only a false name and has no reputation.
Yangzhou's manpower, material resources, and military power cannot be truly used based on this."
Wang Gong's eyes were shining. Obviously, Liu Yu's words hit him where he was least confident, leaving him speechless.
Liu Yu looked at Wang Gong and said sternly: "The reason why those traitors agreed to you taking over Yangzhou was to give the emperor face, and they didn't want to have a direct conflict now. Secondly, they also saw that you can't do it alone."
In control of Beifu, although Liu Yingyang and others are veteran generals and famous generals, they cannot give orders to the people of Jingkou, and they cannot make the grassroots Beifu army officers willing to die for them. Now the country will not even give orders as long as it does not conduct a large-scale Northern Expedition or counterattack the invasion.
As the governor of Yangzhou, you do not have the power to fully mobilize the army. They are waiting for you to make a mistake and summon the army on impulse. As long as you issue this order, they will immediately eliminate you for treason.
It is impossible to resist."
Wang Gong said in a deep voice: "So, I need your help. Only you, Liu Yu, can really call on and unite the people of Jingkou. This is something Liu Laozhi and others cannot do no matter how high their military rank and official position are."
Just like today, your performance in the casino made me even more convinced of this. I know you have always wanted to go to the Northern Expedition. Your experience in the north in the past few years is also to prepare for the future Northern Expedition. But you have to know,
As long as those traitorous party bugs are here, they will never allow you to succeed in the Northern Expedition. I am the only one who can guarantee that your ambition will be realized."
Liu Yu looked at Wang Gong and said calmly: "Wang Zhenjun, you are so confident. Does our Emperor have the same idea as you?"
