The capital of Yangzhou has never been fixed.

As one of the nine states divided by Yu, Yangzhou has a long existence, but as one of the areas with supervision and administrative power, it started during the Han Dynasty. It was also from that time that Yangzhou had its own capital.

The importance of the state governance is self-evident, but with the turmoil of the world, the capitals of Yangzhou also changed a lot, including Liyang (now He County, Anhui), Shouchun (now Shou County, Anhui), Hefei, Jiankang and other places. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the emperor took turns to sit and changed more diligently than clothes, but Yangzhou was governed by Jiankang and rarely changed.

But for some reason, after the founding of the State of Chu, it first changed Jiankang's name to Jinling, and placed the prefecture of Yangzhou in Wuxian far away from Jinling.

"Move the prefecture?"

Gu Yun was shocked, and couldn't help but sit up, straightened his body and said, "Why did Weizhi say this?"

Xu You didn't say anything, but his eyes stared at Bao Xi. He was inconvenient to say something, which would be more appropriate for Bao Xi to say. Bao Xi was stunned at first, then suddenly realized, and was shocked and said, "Yes, the master is indeed going to move to the prefecture!"

Gu Yun was a little slower than the two of them, but he still didn't figure it out. He said with confusion, "Wu County has been the governor of Yangzhou for more than 70 years. It is located in a key transportation between north and south. The water and land routes are unobstructed. He served as the governor to divert water and build ponds, reclaim fertile land, and attract all kinds of business and tourism to attract business and tourism. He gathers department stores and is the best choice for the government. Also, it is not so easy to move to the prefecture. The master is not stupid. How could he not see the difficulties in it? Do this? "

Seeing that Xu Bao did not agree, he obviously disagreed with his opinion. Teng stood up, walked back and forth in the room a few steps, and said decisively: "If it were just established, it would be possible to move to the prefectures. Now more than 70 years have passed, how many people are involved in the prosperity of Wu County? From the court to the prefectures, from the Huamen to the common people, these people have to rely on Wu County to seek the benefits of business. If the master wants to move, he must also measure the pros and cons and ask the government and the opposition. Moreover, I cannot see that there is a need to move to the prefectures at the moment..."

"Liu Quan!"

"Huh?" Gu Yun looked at Bao Xi and said, "What is this related to Liu Envoy?"

Bao Xi had sorted out everything in his heart, and answered Gu Yun's question and seemed to be much more confident, saying, "Liu Quan is very trusted by the Lord!"

Liu Quan, who lost power, does not need respect, so it doesn't matter if he calls his name privately. Gu Yun seemed to have heard some tricks, and repeated Bao Xi's words, saying: "The Lord's trust..."

"Although Liu Quan was born into the Liu family, he has always been unknown in his family. Compared with Liu Ning, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, it was a very different story. Later, the master was unique in his eyes and gradually promoted Liu Quan to the position of governor of Yangzhou despite the opposition of the ministers. It can be said that the king's kindness is the only one, and he is not right." Bao Xi shook his head, as if sighing at Liu Quan's stupidity, and said, "But how did Liu Quan repay the trust of the master?"

Gu Yun walked to the couch, sat down slowly, pondered Bao Xi's words, and gradually felt something was right. Bao Xi looked at Xu You and decided to make it clear. Because Xu You's expression, he should have known this a long time ago, and said, "Liu Quan's attack on Guo this time is likely to have been instructed by the prince. This is what the master does not want to see, so he added a false position of Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu and transferred back to the capital. It is also because of this that the master is no longer at ease with the people of Yangzhou. The move to the provincial government can not only weaken Liu Quan's influence in Yangzhou, but also further control Yangzhou... Compared with these, the difficulties that may be encountered in moving the provincial government are no longer difficult."

There is no need to be a heavy hammer for the drum. At this point, if Gu Yun was confused, he would have let down Gu's high hopes. He was silent for a while, his expression changed. Finally, he suddenly laughed and said, "The emperor's mind is indeed unpredictable! If the gentleman hadn't woken up with a word, I would have been like a dream."

Bao Xi had no intention of being happy. He claimed to be a master of strategy. He knew that King Jingling would be the governor of Yangzhou longer than Xu You. He also felt that the emperor had other plans, so he and Xu You stopped Gu Yun from submitting an objection. But after all, he realized it later. After Xu You reminded him, he completely understood everything hidden in it.

He can accept losing to He Ru. After all, a weird person like He Ru may have only produced one in decades, so it is not embarrassing to lose. However, losing to Xu You, a young man who has not experienced much of the world, really made him look dull and he was also secretly alert.

Xu You finally spoke and said, "Zhengzhu Bao, I have something unknown, I hope to give you some advice."

Bao Xi did not dare to be arrogant and said, "It is not enough to give advice, please tell me frankly."

"Why did our dynasty define Wu County as the prefecture of Yangzhou? In terms of terrain, population and importance, Jinling is hundreds of times better than Wu County." Xu You was puzzled. This was obvious. There were many talented people in the State of Chu, and he would not see this if he didn't believe that he would not see it.

Bao Xi explained: "After the First Emperor assisted the Emperor of Wei to occupy Jiangdong, there were many powerful families in the seven counties of Jiangzuo, killing the people and seizing wealth, attacking the prefectures and counties, which were evil. The governor of Yangzhou also led the military affairs of the Governor's Office. Whether it was raising food and grass, using troops to quell the chaos, or stabilizing the people's hearts, it was more appropriate for Wu County to govern the prefecture than Jinling, which was hundreds of miles away. Later, the Emperor of Wei abdicated and the Emperor ascended the throne. Wu County had developed into a fundamental important town in Yangzhou and could not be changed easily, so after these decades continued, no one thought that he would move to Jinling."

Xu You's understanding of Chu was mostly inherited from the memories of his former masters, and with He Ru, he heard of all the things he heard day and night with him, but it was still different from the native Chu people like Bao Xi. For example, the matter of Wu County as the prefecture was governed by everyone, just as the sun rose during the day and the moon hung at night, he naturally would not consider the migration.

This is the consequence of the fixed thinking pattern. Xu Yousheng has two lifetimes of experience and has not fixed his thinking at one point. He thinks divergently and runs a little faster than Bao Xi.

"Thank you, the chief clerk for answering the questions."

Bao Xi nodded, but his vigilance towards Xu You became weaker. The question just now reminded him that no matter how smart Xu You is, he is a child taught by the Xu family of Yixing. He is martial and not good at literature. He does not read books or history. His vision is limited to one corner and does not know much about the complex relationship between the Chu State. There is no need to be too careful.

What really needs to be careful is He Ru!

"Mingfu, we should not participate in this matter!"

It is certainly impossible to oppose it, but it is even more supportive. I simply pretended to be deaf and dumb. Bao Xi said seriously: "Whether to move to the prefecture is something that Wu County needs to face seriously and has nothing to do with Qiantang."

Although Gu Yun was loyal to the emperor, he was not a pedantic person. After accepting Bao Xi's suggestion, he sighed: "The master is too impatient. He wants to rectify Yangzhou. Some gentle methods are used. Moving the state is a big deal. How can it be so easy to move the whole body? If you are not careful, it may hurt the roots and bones of Yangzhou, which is not worth the loss!"

"No! Feiqing still has to write the memorial against King Jingling as the governor of Yangzhou, but the words should not be too intense. It is enough to list the pros and cons and reasons!" Xu You smiled and said, "As for the reign of the prefecture, the lord did not have a clear edict, it was just a private guess from you and me, so don't mention it in the memorial!"

Gu Yun was stunned again, looking at Xu You for a moment and didn't know what to say. Bao Xi's eyes were filled with anger and scolded: "Mr. Xu Langjun, you were stopped before, and you are encouraged now, where will you go? If you don't hear it, you will do what you will do. How can you be so capricious? "

Gu Yun stopped Bao Xi from continuing and said, "Sir, calm down. Wei Zhi must have his opinion. It's not too late to get angry after listening."

Bao Xi's official position was humble, but he was entrusted by Gu Yun's father. He was both Gu Yun's planner and his teacher and friend. It was ordinary to scold him when he became harshly.

Gu Yun blinked at Xu You, as if he had returned to school. One teenager made a mistake, and the other teenager covered him up and secretly conveyed his feelings from the teacher's eyes. Somehow, Xu You actually understood the meaning of it, which was to tell him not to be angry and not to bother with Bao Xi.

Of course Xu You was not angry. Bao Xi was worried about Gu Yun's future, and getting angry was a normal reaction. And Gu Yun said this, in fact, he regarded him completely as his own person, which is a good thing!

"The chief clerk said something wrong. The move to the prefecture is just a trick of the lord, and it is also your and my guess. It may not be accurate. Now, what we are talking about is the candidate for the governor of Yangzhou. King Jingling's appointment as governor is not only related to Wu County, but also involves the entire Yangzhou. Qiantang County wants to stay out of trouble, but is just a fool. If I expected it, news will soon be heard from Wu County, and someone will take Fei Qing to write to the court together... Not only Fei Qing, but more than 100 counties in the nine counties in Yangzhou, all of them cannot avoid this time. Perhaps the lord is also waiting to see the reactions of the people below, and see who supports and who opposes!"

"Someone pulled me to write a book? Who?"

"Changshi Hu!"

When he was on the Mingyu Mountain, He Ru had carefully talked to Xu You about several big names in Yangzhou. In addition to Liu Quan, the one he talked about the most was the Chief Secretary Hu Jin.

Hu Jin, whose courtesy name is Shenzhi, was born into an ordinary gentry and had a poor family background. Such a person must have special features when he could slowly climb from a minor official to the position of the Chief Secretary of Yangzhou. This person's official talent is not too high, he can only manage ten miles of the city of the state, his knowledge is not very good, his documents are smooth, and his character is not very outstanding. He has done a lot of money to take concubines and make money, but he became the Chief Secretary of Yangzhou. Including Liu Quan, Yangzhou has been replaced with three governors in the past ten years, but Hu Jin is as stable as a rock and motionless.

What impressed Xu You most was not Hu Jin, but He Ru's comments on him: Twelve miles of talent, good at writing and writing, and loving money and lust are the favorite historical ministers of the world.

After understanding this sentence, I am not surprised why Hu Jin can stand firm.

Liu Quan left office, and King Jingling was in Jinling. Nowadays, the Yangzhou group had no leader, and Hu Jin was the most important. If he opposed King Jingling's appointment, he would definitely connect with some officials, write a letter to stop him, and form a surging force to force the emperor to change his mind.

Bao Xi disagreed with Xu You's opinion and said, "King Jingling was appointed as the governor from afar. He was not in Wu County. All matters in Yangzhou depended on the Chief Hu of the General. Unless he planned to rebel, the rest could be decided in one sentence. No one would object to such power!"

Xu You smiled and said, "What kind of person does Zhubu Bao think Hu Changshi is?"

Bao Xi didn't understand what he meant, but he still thought about it carefully and said, "Smart people!"

Xu You slapped his hands and said, "Yes, smart people! Smart people know what they need best. What Hu Changshi does not need the power of the governor of a state, but sit quietly in the position of the chief minister of the chief minister to make a fortune!"

"Hmm?" Bao Xi frowned, unable to keep up with Xu You's thoughts, and said, "You keep talking!"

"Can General Hu have the ability to manage affairs in Yangzhou?"

Bao Xi sneered and said, "It's difficult for him to manage a county, let alone a state?"

"That's it. Hu Changshi has no ambition of power, otherwise he would not have been in the position of Yangzhou Changshi for more than ten years. Another point is also the most important point. With his origin, being a fifth-rank chief has reached its limit. It is not impossible to seek advancement. However, at most he can only be promoted to a fourth-rank chief, with only a famous position and no real power. How can he be more affordable than Yangzhou Changshi? Therefore, he should be satisfied with his current official position."

Gu Yun immediately said: "What Wei said is reasonable. Based on my experience, Hu Changshi does not seek high-ranking officials and generous salaries. He is such a person!"

Xu You looked at him and seemed to feel a sense of harmony. He was so scared that he shivered and quickly looked away. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Just kidding, is it okay for me to be a straight man? Then he coughed dryly and said, "Changshi Hu is a smart man and has a self-knowledge. If King Jingling is in charge of the governor, he will be in charge of the affairs. In less than half a year, Yangzhou will be in chaos. At that time, the master will pursue it and go to the office and the position, and the family will be confiscated to lose money. How can he be as free and easy as he is now, having both a famous position and a wealth source, and there is no need to bear too much responsibility."

Xu You is not a god. No matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to make such an accurate evaluation and recognition of a person he has never met in such a short time. All of these are the results of He Ru's spy on military affairs and civilians in various parts of the State of Chu over the years. Yangzhou, as one of the most important states, cannot be spared. He is also good at appreciating people's hearts, and he sees Hu Jin more thoroughly and clearly than himself.

It is correct to reserve more knowledge. For example, now, after only listening to the three words "Jingling King", Xu You can grasp the essence of things from layers of fog, and then make the most appropriate response as soon as possible.

Bao Xi was not convinced. He was not stubborn, but was mature and would rather be useless than to have ever experienced it. He said: "This is all your guess. The Ming Mansion is full of expectations of the family and the country, and should not act on risk..."

As expected, all their children are good. No matter how talented Gu Yun is, he is now just the magistrate of Qiantang County. What do you think about the family and country? Compared to He Ru, can he brag? Is it because the strategies of speaking the same thing?

"So don't rush to send Feiqing's memorials. When you receive a letter from Changshi Hu, you will see the reactions of many colleagues, and then decide what to do with it!"

Gu Yun is the leader of the younger generation of Gu's family and is of great importance in Yangzhou. Hu Jin would never dare to ignore him. He would write a letter in his hand, using high-sounding words to persuade him to put Yangzhou first, and to make a strong recommendation from the above, so as to make a strong reputation.

However, this was not Xu You's original plan. Amid Bao Xi's opposition, he could only make concessions. In fact, before Hu Jin wins over, he can make memorials before many colleagues, which can maximize the profits. But he is not Gu Yun, so he cannot ignore Bao Xi's existence.

Gu Yun was very confident in Xu You and said, "Weizhi will definitely not be wrong!"

This is a good omen. Although Bao Xi's influence on Gu Yun is unparalleled, Xu You finally cut a small hole in this protective cover that looks like an iron barrel. In time, he might be able to replace him.

Gu Yun looked at Bao Xi excitedly, wanting to participate in this game, but Bao Xi was still hesitating and said, "Even if this is the case, opposing King Jingling as the governor is only beneficial to Chief Hu..."

"From tomorrow, the court will receive a lot of memorials against King Jingling as the governor of Yangzhou. Some may be to please Mr. Hu, but some are really for the sake of Yangzhou. In fact, Fei Qing does not submit a letter to him, which will not affect the overall situation. But the key point is that Fei Qing is in the officialdom and is a child of the Gu family. Faced with such a major event, it is neither reasonable nor strange to say anything."

The officialdom is the same as ever. You can show off your limelight and show off your limelight to stand out among your colleagues and let your boss see your talents; you can sing the opposite tune, and people cannot ignore you, maybe there will be another village; you can also stick to the mean, do not offend both sides, avoid making mistakes, do not make mistakes, and make a contribution, and work hard and slowly get through the qualifications, but no matter what, you must not let yourself become different from everyone else.

Whether it is a show-off, sing the opposite, or adhering to the mean, at least it is the same, but if others think you are strange and different, you will be squeezed out of this circle.

"If you write a letter, you may offend the Lord, but you will offend many colleagues. The two evils are the right ones. I think Feiqing should write a letter together to oppose the Lord's life."

If it were others, they would definitely think Xu You was crazy. The emperor and his colleagues should choose to stand on the side of the emperor no matter how they choose. However, Bao Xi seemed to be crazy, and finally nodded and said, "Xu Langjun, you won!"

As Xu You expected, the edict to appoint King Jingling was dissatisfied with An Zidao's appointment and wrote letters to express his opposition.

In addition, the court also had angered discussion. He didn't know what kind of wind An Zidao was trying to make a waste who was about to be idled and liked to be the governor of Yangzhou. They also asked about crimes one by one. It is said that the Grand Secretary Yu Qing's saliva sprayed An Zidao's face, and An Zidao covered his face and retreated without saying a word.

Then, An Zidao issued another edict, rewarding the King of Jingling An Zi Shang, who was in charge of the military affairs of Yangzhou, Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou, and was appointed as the general of the chariot and cavalry.

The world is in an uproar!

As a result, the rebound of all officials became more and more intense, and there were constant disputes in the court every day. An Zidao was tough and was not moved by sarcasm and advice, and was determined to let his brother take charge of Yangzhou.

The situation was in a stalemate and no one was willing to give in!

Gu Yun also received a letter from Hu Jin. The content of the letter was very simple. Gu Yun put the world first and should not let King Jingling endanger the foundation of the country. All saints and disciples had to fight for death. Gu Yun did not reply, but just gave the memorial he had written to the visitor to read, and then burned the letter in person and sent the messenger to leave.

This is not a dynasty where the monarchy is supreme, nor is there any clichés. It is a trivial matter for ministers to write letters together, but Bao Xi still wants Gu Yun to be more cautious and not leave anyone with any handle.

Gu Yun's memorial was drowned in the vast ocean and did not cause any turmoil. Except for the San Shu, who was in the secretary-general in Jinling, sent his confidant to Qiantang to ask about the reason, no one paid attention to the others.

Bao Xi breathed a sigh of relief. This was the most ideal ending. He did not offend his colleagues or his master. Everyone was happy. But Xu You was destined not to let him worry. He visited the county government this day and said something to Gu Yun:
Chapter completed!
