Chapter 664             Rebuilding the Court

Li Yu said: "Hide your strength and keep your low profile, accumulate strength and make a living! Just wait for the time to ripe, clear away Liuhe, end the troubled times, and stabilize the world!"

Tao Yuan's face immediately showed a look of relief.

Very good! The King of Wu is still enterprising!

Having said that, Li Yu simply went further.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Tao Yuan.

Tao Yuan was startled, quickly got up, and asked in surprise: "What is your Highness doing?"

Li Yu kept a polite gesture and said, "I'm brave enough to invite Mr. Tao to go out of the mountain and go to Qinzhou to help me!"

Tao Yuan's heartbeat accelerated.

However, on the surface, his expression was still dull.

He said, "Your Highness, you can see that the King of Wei has sent someone to invite the old ministers no less than ten times. The King of Wei himself has visited the door three times in person, but the old ministers have not agreed!"

Li Yu nodded, he had heard of it.

Tao Yuan said: "The King of Yan sent people to Beijing again and again to invite the old minister to Yanzhou. This time, he took the risk of holding the little girl hostage!"

Li Yu nodded again.

Tao Yuan continued: "The other vassal kings have also invited old ministers several times.

But the old minister didn't agree!"

Speaking of this, Tao Yuan asked, "Do you know why?"

How did I know?

Maybe you are not even attracted to it!

Li Yu's eyes rolled and he said suspiciously: "But Mr. Tao already has something to do in his heart?"

Tao Yuan asked with a smile: "Your Highness, who is the old minister's heart?"

Li Yu was shameless, turned his fingers to his nose and said, "Can it be me?"

Tao Yuan was stunned and laughed out loud.

After a moment, Tao Yuan restrained his smile, intervened and bowed to Li Yu respectfully, and said seriously: "The old minister is willing to serve His Highness!"

Li Yu really guessed it right.

What Tao Yuan’s heart belongs to is indeed Li Yu.

First, Tao Yuan and Li Yu have always had a good personal relationship, and Li Yu has always respected him very much.

When doing things for Li Yu, Tao Yuan's opinions will definitely be highly valued, which is very helpful for Tao Yuan to display his own political philosophy and ambitions.

Secondly, in addition to the relationship between the king and the minister, there is another layer of relationship between him and Li Yu, the relationship between the son-in-law and the son-in-law.

The marriage between Li Yu and Tao Xiying was the reference of the late emperor. As long as there is no major change, the marriage will not change.

Therefore, whether it is for public or private, Tao Yuan is more inclined to defect to Li Yu.

Li Yu himself did not expect that Tao Yuan, who had not been able to invite so many vassal kings, just as he spoke, Tao Yuan agreed.

He was overjoyed, his eyes shone, and he said, "With Gong Tao helping me, great things can be accomplished!"

In the next few days, Li Yu arranged for the Shadow Guard to secretly escort Tao Yuan and Tao Xiying away from the capital first and go to Longmen Pass.

As for other families in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, it will not be too late to leave in the future.

After Liang Ping's first seven, he was buried in the soil and buried.

Only then did Li Yu and Liang Pi leave the capital and return to Longmen Pass to meet Tao Yuan and Tao Xiying.

A long story short.

After passing Longmen Pass, it is Li Yu's territory. Here, they don't have to rush to travel, and they can check the people's conditions while walking.

Tao Yuan observed it very carefully.

It is autumn now, and it is the season of harvest, and there are no crops in the farmlands in Qinzhou.

Logically speaking, if this happens, a large-scale famine will inevitably break out in Qinzhou.

But surprisingly, the situation in Qinzhou is very stable and the grain prices are also very stable.

When you walk into the city, you can't see the existence of hungry people in the streets and alleys.

The main reason for this is that Qinzhou has received strong support from Liangzhou.

The grain from Liangzhou was continuously transported to Qinzhou.

It can be said that Liangzhou completely feeds the people of the two states with a single state.

This situation made Tao Yuan nodded secretly, praising Li Yu for managing Liangzhou so well.

Where is Liangzhou?

In the past, it was the poorest state in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It is the most troublesome thing for the imperial court.

Not to mention supporting others, Liangzhou cannot even be self-sufficient.

Every year, the imperial court had to give Liangzhou a large amount of blood transfusions to barely maintain the stability of Liangzhou.

Now, it is really incredible that Liangzhou can actually maintain two states in one state.

It has to be said that Li Yu's conquest of the tribes of the Xiaoyang Kingdom had a great impact on Liangzhou.

The security of the external environment, coupled with the large-scale internal cultivation of economic crops, two major factors, both internal and external, directly contributed to the rise of Liangzhou.

In time, Qinzhou will do this, and the overall strength of Liang and Qinzhou will probably not lose to the other seven states.

After observing along the way, Tao Yuan became more and more confident.

Soon, Li Yu and his group arrived in Qincheng successfully.

The officials and generals of Qincheng all went out to greet them.

The leader is Jing Yu.

When Jing Yu and Tao Yuan met, they were inevitably mixed feelings in their hearts.

First he bowed to Li Yu, and then Jing Yu intervened to Tao Yuan and said, "Secretary of Qinzhou, Jing Yu, the governor of Qinzhou, pay homage to Duke Zhenguo!"

Tao Yuan walked up and bowed his hand to return the gift, exclaiming: "Shuxian has managed Qinzhou very well! I am also deeply relieved when I see it!"

His words sounded nothing, but they just felt condescending.

At present, Tao Yuan clearly has no official position on Li Yu's side, while Jing Yu is a provincial governor and an important official of the border officials.

Jing Yu looked at Tao Yuan and said, "The Duke of Zhenguo has been awarded too much!"

When they entered the prefecture, everyone sat down with the guests and hosts.

Li Yu sat in the middle.

On his left is Jing Yu and on his right is Tao Yuan.

Li Yu thought in his mind what official position he should give Tao Yuan and what official position he could give Tao Yuan.

He was just a vassal king and was not qualified to be appointed by the court.

Lu Fang helped him to relieve the siege and said, "Duke Tao is the Shangshu Ling conferred by the late emperor, and has never been removed from his post. Therefore, Duke Tao is still the Shangshu Ling!"

Li Yu and Tao Yuan both had a heart moved.

Li Yu was originally thinking about whether he wanted to sign Tao Yuan as the chief minister of the King of Wu's Mansion, but he felt that this was too aggrieved Tao Yuan.

Now that he heard what Lu Fang said, Li Yu slid his hands and smiled, responding: "Yes, yes! Mr. Tao is still the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty!"

And the same words were heard in Tao Yuan's ears, and he could think much deeper than Li Yu.

Or the Secretary of State?

What is the duty of the Shangshu Ling?

He is in charge of six divisions!

So, what about the six divisions?

Next, I, the Secretary of State, had to reorganize six ministries.

Even if there are six ministries, isn’t that equivalent to moving the imperial court from the capital to Qincheng?

Although the King of Wu has not been elected as emperor, he is actually supposed to meet the uncrowned emperor!

This should be what Lu Fang wants!

Tao Yuan looked at Lu Fang with a calm face and nodded in his heart. This Lingxiao real person Lu Fang is not simple!

He owed Li Yu and said, "Your Highness, the old minister can send a letter to the old minister and ask them to go to Qinzhou to rebuild the six ministers. I wonder what your noble intention is?"

Is that necessary?

Li Yu hesitated a little, and Lu Fan said first: "Your Highness, I think that what Mr. Tao said is very true! At present, a large number of refugees are pouring into Qinzhou and Liangzhou. All matters are not only complicated, but also crucial. It is urgent to rebuild the six ministries and coordinate the overall situation!"
Chapter completed!
