Jiankang City, Wuyi Alley, abandoned courtyards, bottom of dry wells, fake mafia headquarters.
The candlelight swayed, reflecting three faces wearing bronze masks. Only the Xuanwu seat in the north was empty. Everyone was silent. Only the crackling sound of the giant butter candle when it burned echoed in the hall.
, or Liu Yi's sigh broke the loneliness: "At this time, I'm afraid that the heads of Sima Yuanxian, Zhang Fashun, Sima Shangzhi, and Yu Kai have all been hung on the Zhuque Gate (the south gate of Jiankang City, later Qinhuai River)
At that time, it was called Dahangtou again."
Xu Xianzhi nodded: "And Mao Tai. When he went to capture Sima Yuanxian, he probably wouldn't have thought that he would be killed along with him."
Yu Yue said coldly: "Who told him that the Mao family was ignorant of current affairs at this time. Instead of surrendering to Huan Xuan, they actually came to plead for Sima Yuanxian and others. Huan Xuan wanted to establish his authority and kill people at this time. Mao Tai
He became the first one to be killed by the sword, and he was executed on the charge of treason."
Liu Yi shook his head: "He is forcing the Yizhou Mao clan to rebel. He is doing this before he can control the overall situation. I think it will only be counterproductive."
Yu Yue sighed: "Master Baihu, you'd better not worry about Yizhou in Xichuan thousands of miles away. Think about how you can survive this time. Liu Yu retired and left in time. It seemed to be a wise move. Huan Xuan entered the capital before
In less than half a month, an edict was issued to turn Liu Laozhi into the internal historian of Kuaiji, making it clear that he would seize his military power. How are you going to handle yourself this time?"
Liu Yi was silent for a long time and then said: "I didn't expect that Huan Xuan would act so quickly, let alone that the consequences of the change of flag would be so serious. In less than a month, more than 30,000 soldiers had disarmed and returned home. Now Liu Laozhi is
Even if he wanted to resist, he probably wouldn't have the strength, which is probably why Huan Xuan dared to attack him."
Xu Xianzhi looked at Yu Yue: "Master Qinglong, don't look at other people's jokes. Your good uncle Yu Kai also died today. The Yu family has been hit hard this time. Although you relied on betrayal
Sima Shangzhi was temporarily saved, but according to Huan Xuan's temperament, it is not impossible for him to settle the accounts with you one day."
Yu Yue sneered and said, "That's different. Yu Kai openly betrayed Huan Xuan and wanted to collude with Sima Shangzhi as an internal agent. But I'm very surprised. This matter has always been secret. How did Bian Fanzhi know about it?"
Xu Xianzhi and Liu Yi looked at each other and said: "Bian Fanzhi is Huan Xuan's real think tank. He is proficient in intelligence. No move in Jingzhou can escape his eyes. The previous defeats of Yin Zhongkan and Yang Quanqi were due to him.
The inside story couldn't escape his eyes, so Huan Xuan dared to raise troops to kill his two old allies. As for Yu Kai, he had already defected and rebelled. Bian Fanzhi would naturally be on strict guard against him. He wanted to betray him at this time.
It is normal to find out. Mr. Qinglong, I advise you to be more careful. If it is not necessary, it is best to suspend this secret gathering between us."
Yu Yue said angrily: "If I didn't want to figure out the next move and find a successor for Xuanwu, do you think I want to come here for a meeting? The situation outside is very dangerous now. Since Huanxuan entered the capital, people have become submissive, and even
The wealthy families also follow his lead. What's even worse is that there are a large number of storytellers and sycophants who come from nowhere in the streets and alleys. They make up all kinds of storytelling and brag about Huan Xuan's achievements and achievements. Damn it, I almost vomited when I heard it.
.”
Liu Yi sighed: "Although Huanxuan has a family background, he had no officials or soldiers when he started. It is not easy to survive today. He knows the importance of people's hearts, and now he is starting to build momentum to prepare for his further usurpation of the throne in the future.
. You must know that if you want to get that far, you must not only suppress the aristocratic families, but also win the hearts of traffickers and pawns and rural villagers."
Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "And our manor in Wu land was actually robbed by a man named Huan. He enfeoffed his nephews and lackeys to these places wantonly, and took away the property originally owned by Sima Yuanxian's lackeys.
It took a long time to deal with the manor and land, from the rebellion of Tianshi Dao to Sima Yuan's dictatorial power, but in the end, the century-old inheritance of our Wu family was returned to Huan."
Xu Xianzhi smiled slightly: "What can you do if you are not convinced? Now you want soldiers but not soldiers, and you want officials but not officials. Even if you walk among the famous families, you don't dare to say half a word about Huan Xuan. On the contrary, you are afraid of Huan Xuan every day in your dreams.
Xuanhui will kill you. Master Qinglong, do you come to the chief helm just to complain and scold Huanxuan behind his back?"
Yu Yue sighed: "You are all old men from the Beifu Army. What can you do? Can you join forces with Liu Laozhi to fight? If there is a possibility of winning, I can make some preparations here and build Kangcheng.
Maybe I can help you a little bit."
Liu Yi said angrily: "Stop dreaming, even Liu Yu has gone home to farm. Once he understands this, Sima Yuanxian has lost the hearts of the people, and the people of Wu hate him so much that they can even accept Huan Xuan coming."
In his place, after all, Huan Xuan had never harmed the people of Wu before. Yin Zhongkan took the blame for the food shortage, and finally it was Sima Yuanxian. The Beifu Army changed its flag openly this time, which was tantamount to surrender. The morale of the army had long been
If they are separated, Liu Laozhi's subordinate Ma Risan has long lost the ability to fight back. How can he fight against Huan Xuan? If it is really the Beifu army from two months ago, how can Huan Xuan dare to seize his military power?"
Yu Yue was stunned for a long time before sighing: "Is it really going to take a lifetime, no, even descendants to submit to Huan Xuan from generation to generation?"
Liu Yi curled up his lips: "Master Qinglong, it's better for you to stay still and wait for the opportunity. Don't cater to Huan Xuan too much, and don't oppose him. When he comes to you, you should do things for him. If he doesn't come to you, you should do things for him.
You should live in seclusion at all times and don't give him an excuse to attack you. Let's talk about other things later. Huan Xuan has now embarked on the old path of Sima Yuanxian and has begun to use power to benefit himself. I believe that he
It will lose people's hearts very quickly. Once public dissatisfaction boils over, that's when our opportunity comes!"
Yu Yue nodded: "What about Xuanwu? Have you chosen anyone?"
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "This candidate is not available for the time being. Let's wait until the limelight passes. I also left the Beifu Army last month and returned to my hometown to work in farming. If I need an emergency contact next time, I will come to Jingkou and follow the old rules.
That’s it for me.”
Yu Yue stood up and said, "I understand, you can take care of yourself, I'll leave first."
When Yu Yue's figure and the sound of closing the door disappeared into the distance, Xu Xianzhi curled his lips and looked at Liu Yi: "When are you going to take action against Yu Yue and get rid of him?"
Liu Yi's eyes flashed coldly: "Wait a minute, Huan Xuan is powerful now, we have to stick together to survive. The hurricane has passed, and only the grass can survive, so be patient. Oh, by the way, this month, Jiankang City
Let’s calculate the protection fee and filial piety money now.”
