Mei Kuang was silent. He didn't expect Chai Yong to have such a deep hatred for Xu Zhigao, the Li Bian clan. He was imposed on the Li Bian clan. I wonder if Li Bian could tolerate it?

"Supreme, don't think I'm taking private revenge. Yes, I hate Xu Zhigao to the core. If he hadn't committed a rebellion, I wouldn't have the chance to set foot on the Huai Left. However, since someone is already a member of the prince, he naturally has to target the interests of Xuzhou."

Chai Yong seemed to figure out Mei Kuang’s inner thoughts and further said: “Supreme Minister should not underestimate these rumors. If such rumors are used, they may become a traitor used by many people to deceive people. This is not a big or small problem, especially in Wu. Xu Zhigao itself has a great influence. Now our Xuzhou cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop, so we must be careful.”

Mei Kuang was convinced by Chai Yong.

Rumors of the Zhou Dynasty, big and big, big and big, big and big, were widely circulated in Huainan. He also heard of it when he was in Shouzhou. It is said that Yang Xun married the Zhou Dynasty and once aroused Yang Pu's suspicion. Li Jing married the Zhou Dynasty. In a sense, it was not that Xu Zhigao (Li Bing) had the idea of ​​rebelling against Yang Pu, and wanted to prove that the Li family really had the atmosphere of the Tian family.

The prince fell in love with the queen of Xiao Zhou at first sight. Mei Kuang didn't know if there was any reason for this rumor, but the queen of Xiao Zhou was able to have a pregnancy and give birth after a few nights of fun with the prince. Moreover, she was the eldest son of the prince. This favor is unprecedented. So who can tell clearly what the prince has about the queen of the Zhou Dynasty?

Mei Kuang knew very well that he was not representing a person now. Not only was the Mei clan of Shouzhou standing behind him, but he also represented the gentry officials of the entire Shouzhou clan, and he needed to be responsible for them.

With the rapid expansion of the power of the Xuzhou General Administration, talents from all sides who continued to pour into the General Administration were also shining with stars. Needless to say, Zhu Mao, Zhu Mi brothers, Shang Yunxi, Chai Yong, Liu Yansi and Wang Shouxin, Hong Kui, Yu Mingzhen and Lu Qiming. This has not been said that the Daliang system is also not weak, and the civil officials are not weak, Yan Xu brothers, Yang Xu, Wang Xu, and the Luo brothers in Dongguang, Cangzhou. This means that every mountain has to launch its own spokesperson and fight for the interests of their respective groups. Whoever can win the trust of the prince to a greater extent means that he and the group behind him can gain more benefits.

Based on this, Mei Kuang knew very well that his current position was not stable, and he needed to further consolidate his position. At this level, the strength of martial arts and the level of command were no longer the most important factors. The prince had many old generals who could compete for fighting. Now who can win the trust and recognition of the prince was the most important.

Of course, Mei Kuang was unwilling to be criticized for these inexplicable reasons. What's more, if the Great Zhou Dynasty was left behind, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was really favored by the prince in the future, and the pearl fetus was secretly knotted and pregnant and gave birth, it would be a surprise.

Mei Kuang believed that he was not a slander, but he didn't mind such a slaughter. As for Li Bing's attitude, as Chai Yong said, is it important to have dry bones in the tomb and candles in the wind?

"It's just to make the two Lords Yan Xu and Yan Xu embarrassed." Mei Kuang finally nodded and smiled slightly.

Chai Yong also laughed, "The two Lord Yan must be more concerned than us. The prince gave them to come south to appease the people of Chu Yang. Naturally, he valued the influence of the Yan clan of his family on Chu Yang's side, and would be used in the future. They naturally had to do their best to do their best to do things well. Such a mess is not worth mentioning. I believe that Xu Zhigao and his son should understand the importance of it. They should not have thought about it in the first place. If they bring disaster, they will also be blamed!"

The Yan clan where the two brothers Yan Xu and Yan Xu are located is also a famous family in the Wu Kingdom. Yan Xu even married Li Bing's daughter. Yan Xu and Yan Xu are also in-laws and relatives with Li Jing, and even a relationship with his uncle. But for the Yan clan, how can a in-law be compared with the rise and fall of the family?

As early as when Yan Xu surrendered to Jiang Feng, Yan Xu had already agreed with his brother that the two families would follow their own paths, and Yan Xu would still stay with Li Wu and wait and see what happened.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed so quickly. In a year or two, Li Wu, who had already had fertile land in the four states, was already dying. Chu and Yang states were swallowed by Xuzhou, and Runchang states were also facing the attack of Yue State and ant thieves.

It can be seen that anyone with his eyes can see that Li Wu has actually become a marginal force. Whether he can survive can only see whether Yue Kingdom and the ant thief can work together. However, his own destiny is dependent on others, which shows the degree of misery.

"I heard that the Yan family and Li Bing are still in-laws?" Mei Kuang had some understanding of the situation, but was not clear about the specific situation.

"Well, Yan Xu married Li Bing's daughter, but the Yan clan should have seen the situation clearly, otherwise he would not be willing to come to Yangzhou to take on this important task." Chai Yong said lightly: "Those who know the times are heroes, and all the gentry and prominent families in Jiangnan are like this. It goes without saying how to choose and choose."

Mei Kuang nodded silently. Although Chai Yong's words were a little mean, they were the justification for survival in this world. How can the survival of hundreds of people in a clan be compared with a woman? No matter who is, he will make wise choices.

"Shumi, when will the prince come to Yangzhou?" Chai Yong changed the topic and obviously did not want to talk more about this topic.

"Well, although the prince did not mention it in his letter, it was probably because the envoy of the Liu family in Nanyang arrived in Xuzhou. The matter of returning Guangzhou had to be discussed, and there were other issues involved,..." Mei Kuang said with a smile.

"Haha, but Liu wants to marry the prince and use Guangzhou as the dowry? Liu Xuanduan has a good idea, and he is favorable without any expenses and has face. He is always cunning, so why is this man!" Chai Yong cursed with a smile.

"Who said no?" Mei Kuang spread his hands, sighing, "I just hope that the prince will marry Princess Jin as soon as possible and give birth to a child. Then we Xuzhou will have no worries."

If Li Jin gave birth to male descendants, he would naturally be Xuzhou's unscrupulous heir.

However, all the generals and ministers under Jiang Feng were a little worried. Jiang Feng had several concubines by his side, but nothing had appeared in the past few years.

After finally having a little Zhou Hou who was embarrassed, he was a little uneasy. I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Jiang Feng's descendants are a little too thin.

If noble girls like Li Jin and Liu Zi are so invisible, it would be a bit troublesome.

Although the young Zhou Hou had a birth, there was only one son after all. The survival rate of children himself was not high these days, and it was really hard to reassure a child. This is also a reason why Mei Kuang agreed to Chai Yong to deduct the opinions of the eldest Zhou Hou.

If the prince has a unique taste and really responds to the rumors in the world, his descendants will really come out of this big and small Zhouhou. After he lets the Great Zhou, wouldn’t he become a sinner in the world?

"The princes must indeed come to Yangzhou. Yangzhou is no better than Luzhou and Chuzhou. It is Xu Zhigao's old nest. There are many gentry and merchants, and they must be kind and powerful. The Yan brothers can appease the hearts of ordinary people, but those famous families and wealthy merchants with deep foundations must all hear the words of the prince in their own ears before they can feel at ease." Chai Yong was also an old man in Yangzhou, and his words were ridiculed.

"Well, the prince will definitely come to Yangzhou and his entourage. It's just a little slow, but it probably won't be delayed for too long. After all, the war in the north will not wait too long. He still needs to go back to Xuzhou to take charge." Mei Kuang's eyes turned to the north, "If the battle of Heshuo can be settled, then our Xuzhou will be able to truly plan to unify the world in the next step."

"Yes, it is the lifelong dream of our martial artists to be lucky enough to follow the prince to fight for dominance in the world. When we think about it, we are excited. I really hope this day will come soon!" Chai Yong was also full of longing and full of passion. "Whether the Khitans or Shatuo people, we want to let them have a good experience. We are not only heroes on the water in Huainan, but also heroic people on the land!"

************

As the big ship slowly sailed into the water gate, Yan Xu carried his hands on his back, looked at the still prosperous pier and street in front of him with a complicated expression, sighed softly before slowly turning back.

"Brother, are you feeling a little?" Yan Xu was also in a complicated mood. The two of them were ordered by the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council to appease the gentry and merchants in Yangzhou. This burden was not light.

Xuzhou does not want a desolate Yangzhou, but a still prosperous Jiangzuo famous capital, and a base for future exploration of Jiangnan. So how to win over the hearts of these Yangzhou gentry and merchants is a very good test of their ability.

Runchang Prefectures are across the river from Yangzhou. According to the agreement reached now, Xuzhou will support the Li Bian clan to continue to survive in Runchang Prefectures, and will even provide necessary assistance.

But everyone in Xuzhou knows that Li Bing also knows that this is just a temporary calm, and for Li Bing, it is even a drinking poison to quench thirst.

Once Xuzhou handles matters in the northern region properly, a battle against Jiangnan will inevitably be inevitable. How can Li Bing and others deal with it?

Now that my father and brother are serving him, how should Li Wu deal with Xuzhou in the future? Should he be accused of the tiger, gain a position under Jiang Feng's command in the future, or fight back and fight to the death?

I'm afraid even Li Bing himself knows that by then, how many of the monarchs and ministers of Li Wu who have eliminated their ambitions will have the courage to fight hard?

"Can you not feel it? After years of separation, it seems like the next day, the scene is still like a dream, but things change." Yan Xu shook his head, "Your elder brother will not end up stinging his back in the hearts of these gentry."
