Compared with the speed and roughness of Northern Migrants rabble, Gao Song, the Qiaozu Literati elite, is much more refined and proper.

After reacting, he immediately High-Rise Construction pointed out that Liu Cheng had made a big mistake. He should let as many people as possible see with their own eyes that Prince of Wuling left alive. It's Jiankang, so we shouldn't ship it directly. Instead, it's better to wait for Jiangcheng and let him take a group of Literati to deliver it. We can make eye contact with each other on the shore and on the boat.

In this case, even if Prince of Wuling cries or howls, it is just a farewell sigh.

Liu Cheng immediately made a well-founded refutation. Prince of Wuling rode Tall Horse. On the way from home to East Hedge Gate, he passed countless Eastern City's high-end houses. There were more pedestrians and merchants avoiding him. He passed by Jurong Avenue When was at the performance square, the guy was still there resting under Market for a long time. Literati was there for Literati, Slave Retainers was there for Slave Retainers, and Slave Retainers was there for Slave Retainers. The common people all saw him jumping out of Jiankang with their own eyes.

Why doesn't it count?

What's more, you don't need to go to Jiangling. You only need to go to Jiang Province on the road, and you will probably meet Huan Wen. By then, Jiang Province Literati will also see Prince of Wuling alive. It only takes a few days to send back the message. Why do you need to be so strict?

There is indeed some truth to this statement. The most important thing is that the matter is already here, and there is no point in worrying about it.

As a result, Gao Song began to be forced to increase his speed. He quickly wrote the document himself, and then drove quickly to Department of State Affairs to have it stamped. This was all completed from the scheduling procedures of Gao Heng's Unit of Soldiers to the procedures of the country of Prince of Wuling, and even the procedures of Troops Entering the City.

After finishing writing, I was going to ask Liu Cheng to take the documents to Prince of Wuling's Residence, pack Prince of Wuling's Princess Consort, Secondary Consort, and several minor children together, and send them away quickly.

According to Gao Song, if all the women and children disappeared, Jiankang here would not worry about the consequences of Prince of Wuling people, because after crossing the river, there really was no There is this example of killing everyone. Wang Dun and Su Jun. When the troops and horses were deployed to the Central Hall, they could still hold the children of the noble family next door and play on their knees.

The adult nobles next to him were stripped naked and thrown into the mountains to build fortifications, and even used earth to cover their shame.

Liu Cheng was convinced by this, saying that he had learned from South of the Yangtze's advanced experience.

However, Northern Migrants also has his own advanced experience. When Gao Song runs to Department of State Affairs, he only asks people to look for Liu Jili and go to Department of State Affairs was waiting for the documents, and he immediately went out of the city to call for people. Because Gao Heng had already set off, he called two hundred people directly from Gao Jian, and only sent them When Prince of Wuling was captured before, the flag was hoisted when he left the city. Without any paperwork, he came back from East Hedge Gate proudly. Those at the door did not dare to stop him. Enter Eastern City, then slowed down, and just in time to wait until Liu Jili delivered the paperwork, the market was not even over yet, so he directly entered Prince's Residence's house, then closed the door and started working.

Of course, the most important person comforted him with kind words and asked Liu Jili to personally escort him to Jiangcheng, who would inevitably take the opportunity to ransack his home.

The furniture and the like are not easy to move, but the weapons, war horses, etc. that Prince of Wuling had collected before must be collected carefully. Together with the ones captured from hunting, together they can arm an entire group of people. There are also Mounted Slaves, Axe-Wielding Slaves and other things captured by both sides, which will be used to gag tomorrow.

However, he planned to kill the livestock including war horses directly. Throwing the weapons and deserters on the ground was enough to have an impact. What more cattle and horses were needed?

As for the gold and silver Silk and Silk Fabrics and Liu Cheng in the mansion, they are not polite. This is his reward. It is not even his reward. It is the reward of Gao Heng and the people below. However, Prince of Wuling is indeed a lot here. I don't know how many mountains and forests Manor this man who is about to be forty has surrounded in these years and how many rewards he has received?

Then...Liu Cheng couldn't reward too much, so he had to accept most of the gold, silver, copper coins, cloth and so on. Since he couldn't help it, he would discuss it with Gao Song and the others after making preparations.

In the city, there is really no way to overdo it.

The ones outside the city are easier to handle. Liu Cheng didn't forget to ask Liu Dage to ask those Slave Retainers, Prince of Wuling how many Private Estate are there outside the city and in other counties, and where are their locations?

They are preparing to send people to move things in a grand manner, and Manor is also going to take over... It is a country of capital, so we can't continue to support it here!

After struggling for most of the night, Liu Cheng had no choice but to spend the night at Prince's Residence, sleeping on Prince of Wuling's couch.

At dawn the next day, Jiankang started to vibrate slightly.

The one who caused the shock was naturally Prince of Wuling... Liu Cheng brought people in before yesterday evening, first sent Prince of Wuling's family members away, and then collected weapons and other things, making a clanging noise. And Prince of Wuling's residence is where Eastern City, the Jiankang rich and powerful, is concentrated. Naturally, many Slave Retainers were ordered to come over to inquire in the early morning, and even young Literati came directly to take a look.

Then I was told by the taxi soldier at the door, or Liu Yulong, who was sitting at the door with a bowl and eating, that I was in the country of Prince of Wuling. I left in a hurry. They happened to be hunting together yesterday, so I asked him, Liu Langya, to help pack things and arrange for the repatriation of his family members.

He even didn't forget to post a notice at the entrance of the alley.

The message spread quickly and was verified.

Ever since, Eastern City people were furious!

It sounds nice, but hunting? Xuchang is hunting, do you think we haven't seen "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? That is to say, this part is not easy to perform, otherwise Qingmei Zhuojiu would have staged the part together before.

That's not all.

The most important thing is, who doesn't know Prince of Wuling's position in this Jiankang city?

He was the one Prince-Regent was used by the crown clan to suppress and disgust. Coupled with the rumors a while ago, everyone couldn't help but think that it must be Prince of Kuaiji who was ruthless and sent this unscrupulous Northern Migrants to do this.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but discuss with each other in series, and then form public opinions in groups, so I felt that I should go to Prince of Kuaiji to express it.

It doesn't mean that you have to be angry, after all, everyone has left, but you must have an attitude, express your worries about this kind of fratricide, and by the way, care about Prince of Wuling's physical condition, there is nothing unbearable to say, right?

In the second half of the afternoon, Sima Yu's house started to be crowded with people... Then Liu Jili, who had worked very hard yesterday, came over in person, but Gao Song couldn't get away, so he was ordered to call Liu Cheng to prepare for what formal Proclamation would do.

Liu Cheng has been impatient for a long time. He has despaired at the speed of these people's connection. More than 90% of you are here Eastern City. You are all relatives of each other and come to visit casually. How can it be delayed until this time to let Sima Yu's family be full of people? Before noon, Jiangcheng's prisoners over there were all sent back.

So he quickly ordered someone to rush over with the weapons and prisoners.

It was only at this time that Liu Cheng had the opportunity to explain the situation to Liu Jili. Liu Jili heard that Sima Yu had met Huan Wen directly a few days ago. He was very surprised. Even if he noticed something in advance, he would still be shocked by the efficiency of this time.

However, he still opposed South of the Yangtze's peace talks with Upper Reaches. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Cheng. In turn, from Sima Yu's current embarrassing situation to the overall situation of fighting Xianbei, as well as the established facts, he was hammered down one after another, and he could only feel depressed.

In fact, Liu Jili also knows that individuals have their own personal attitudes. Starting from the fact that Liu Cheng cannot betray Huan Wen, reaching such a meeting is the most loyal sign to the court, and people want Northern Expedition.

Just like that, Liu Cheng rushed over there with the coquettish Liu Jili. Halfway there, he met the coquettish Wang Linzhi hiding on the side of the road. I guess Ji was pushed over by someone to inquire about the information, but he didn't have the courage. Then he was called by Liu Langya, and he turned the car around and followed behind, and together they arrived at Prince of Kuaiji's house.

There was nothing to say next. I gave the job to Wang Linzhi and asked him to throw those Military Weapons to the left side of the Prince's Residence gate. The deserters found... I didn't say what Mounted Slaves were, just that they were found registered deserters... They were guarded on the right side of the gate. Prince's Residence became much quieter at that time.

Immediately, Liu Cheng stepped inside, past the taxis who could only hang out in front of the gate and in the front yard. He only glanced at Gao Rou, who was obviously under siege, and went straight into the hall.

Don't mention it, but you actually left a place for him and Liu Jili!

One is in the fourth front row on the right hand side, a serious high-back celebrity chair, and the other is in the third back row on the right hand side, the chair is not that high.

Now Jiankang City finally has a place for the two of them as firewood bearers.

The two of them sat down, facing each other, the third person from the left, a Liu Cheng who had never seen it before, but who could definitely tell who it was through the letter, and could tell who it was at a glance, slowly spoke in a serious tone, "Where are Liu Langya, Prince of Wuling?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall.

Liu Cheng sat on the celebrity high-backed chair and calmly raised his hand to the man opposite him whose mouth was obviously half-mouthed. "Sizhou (Wang Huzhi has held the highest official position), Prince of Wuling was ordered to go to Zhiguo, because he and I were hunting wild boar yesterday, so after receiving the document, knowing that it was too late, he went straight to the ship at Jiangcheng, and at the same time entrusted me to escort his family members from the ship behind."

Wang Huzhi Wait patiently for this Northern Migrants boy to finish speaking, but maybe he still has trouble talking, so he has to wait.

In short, after a while, the person continued to ask slowly, "Liu Langya, do you believe this? Prince of Wuling is the document of the country you got. Why can't you come back and clean it up slowly? Instead, just get on the ship? Isn't someone coercing him?"

"It is true that someone is coercing him." Liu Cheng looked as normal. "But Sizhou obviously misunderstood. I didn't coerce him. How can I, Langya Interior Minister, coerce a prince?"

"Who is coercing him?" Wang Huzhi smiled slightly and continued to respond slowly under the gaze of other important officials of the Crown Clan.

And these words seem to have hit the nail on the head.

Do you Liu Yulong want to confess Sima Yu here?

"Sizhou asked." Liu Cheng sighed. "I can count the number of people in this world who can intimidate Prince of Wuling on one hand? Do Sizhou and you all think that I will cover up because of the kindness of knowing someone?"

Do you really want to recruit me?

Isn't this inappropriate? If you recruit him, what should we do? Do you really want to call out Sima Yu and scold him? Wouldn't this be a quarrel? Moreover, do you really want to start a confrontation with Regent over Prince of Wuling, a person whose whole family has already boarded the ship?

At this time, everyone was a little stunned, and some even felt guilty.

Even Wang Huzhi was a little embarrassed, and then instinctively looked at Wang Shu beside him... Wang Biaozhi was not there, so he had to speak for the Langya Wang Clan, but since he had been ill, he really couldn't keep up with his energy, brain, and mouth.

It also made things difficult for him.

However, Wang Shu didn't know what was going on. It seemed that when Liu Cheng said the first sentence, he was a little embarrassed because of a certain word, and then he remained silent the whole time, and at this time he ignored Wang Huzhi's gaze.

So Wang Huzhi went to see Fan Wang on the other side. Fan Wang had already guessed what was going on this morning, but was shocked by Sima Yu's decisiveness. At this time, he was just waiting for other news. How could he bother to ask about the whereabouts of Prince of Wuling? That's bullshit!

Even if he returns to Prince of Wuling's question, he can now think of how Liu Cheng would answer it. How could he interfere with his embarrassing identity?

Just watch your eyes, nose, and heart.

The two people on both sides were like this, Wang Huzhi was obviously a little confused, and he had no choice but to look at Xie Yi through one person.

Xie Yi probably couldn't bear to see people treating a stroke patient like this, so he wanted to talk.

However, at this moment, the second person in the back row opposite, Wang Tanzhi, who, like his father, felt his heart beating wildly after hearing the word "wild boar", finally came to his senses, and then took the initiative to ask seriously, "So, Yulong, please tell the truth, who is this person? It can't be Murong Jun, right?"

Liu Cheng turned his head and glanced at Wang Tanzhi at the side and behind him. He felt a little more appreciative in his heart, but his eyes were obviously full of amusement.

If this matter was really done by Sima Yu, the flaw he just told himself would not scare the truly thoughtful person. The reason could not be simpler. It is really Sima Yu, so it is impossible for him, Liu Cheng, to really sell Sima Yu.

Otherwise, the shame is Sima Yu. If you Liu Cheng directly betray others, what will other people think of you?

It's just that you Wang Tanzhi are obviously sitting on the side representing Sima Yu's staff, but you ask this question. How do you want people here to see you?

"You will know if you think about it, who is the person Prince of Wuling is most afraid of?" Liu Cheng was thinking in his heart, and turned his head, but his face became serious, and his tone even became higher. "Except for Duke Huan, who else can scare him? Apart from Duke Huan, who else in this world can make me Liu Cheng with just one word?! You don't think it's the belt edict passed down to me by His Majesty, do you?"

Liu Cheng's tone was serious and even fierce, but everyone including Wang Tanzhi only thought it was ridiculous.

Ah, yes, Huan Wen is no longer just the sharp sword hanging over South of the Yangtze's head, but Mount Tai hanging over everyone's head! But even if this matter is nothing to Huan Wen, you can blame it on Huan Wen's head; Even if Prince of Wuling usually yelled at Huan Wen, he was frightened when he heard the word Huan Wen... But when did Huan Wen give you the order? And how could there be any documents from Department of State Affairs to cooperate?

That document was clearly written by Gao Song himself!

"When did Yuanzi arrive at Jiankang?" Xie Yi reacted and hurriedly replaced Wang Tanzhi to ask. "Could it be that a letter came to you?"

"Don't you know?" Liu Cheng looked puzzled and turned to look at the person on the left side of the vacant main seat. "Gao Chief Clerk, you didn't tell them?"

Gao Song shrank like a quail before Liu Cheng came in. At this time, he was just cautious when he heard the words: "Your Highness has no words, how can I dare to announce it in private?"

"It will be announced sooner or later." Liu Cheng waved his hand, his posture in sharp contrast with Gao Song. "This kind of thing should be made public, otherwise what "United Proclamation" would be? Not to mention, this matter cannot be hidden."

"Then Yulong, let me tell you." Gao Song suddenly put away his previous posture, his tone was calm, and his body stretched out, as if he had been holding in his breath all afternoon. "I will read out "United Proclamation"."

"Okay." Liu Cheng looked around the crowd after hearing the words, speaking simply and clearly. "Gentlemen, three days ago, for the sake of the country, I had to arrange for King Huanzheng and King Huanzheng to meet at Xizhou in the center of the Niuzhu River. The two of them sat arm in arm and discussed how to resist the Northern invaders and help the country, and made an announcement. At that time, Gao Changshi, Cao Xichao, the general of the expedition to the west, joined the army Fu Tao, and I was also present at the meeting.

"As for the Prince of Wuling matter, it's even simpler. After the meeting, before Duke Huan boarded the ship, he asked me privately whether there was any Rumour in the DPRK that was unfavorable to Prince of Kuaiji? I informed Duke Huan of the Rumour that Prince of Wuling had reorganized Military Weapons a month ago. E, Duke Huan made it clear to me that I should not disturb Prince of Kuaiji, and directly consult with the relevant ministers in the Tai Pavilion to make a document and send Prince of Wuling to the country of Wuling, so as not to distract Prince of Kuaiji from concentrating on the great cause of the imperial court."

From the first sentence, the hall was eerily quiet.

Don't say Wang Huzhi, Wang Shu and his son, Xie Yi Deng Ren are stunned, Xun Rui is obviously People with a Sima Yu foundation, and people like Zhou Min who boasted that they could ride on both sides, were also shocked. Even Fan Wang, a person who had already guessed something, sat still and was obviously in a trance after hearing this narration.

As for the later Prince of Wuling, no one listened seriously.

"High Chief Clerk." Liu Cheng gestured with his lips raised. "It's your turn."

"Oh." Gao Song seemed to be in a daze, looking at a group of dumbfounded ministers and crown clansmen. Their expressions were stern, but they couldn't hold their mouths shut. They quickly took out a few pieces of paper from their arms and stood up to read out.

"Hold on!" Liu Cheng suddenly remembered something, and quickly jumped out of the chair, standing with his hands tied. At the same time, he did not forget to remind the important officials around him. "Everyone, this is the gift jointly released by Prince Regent of the imperial court and General Who Attacks the West of the Governor Upper Reaches. The text of the political platform, in the next few years, we should focus on this Proclamation to maintain the court, assist His Majesty, and help the country... Even if His Highnesses Duke Huan and Prince of Kuaiji are not in front of us, shouldn't we stand up? This is not considered rude!"

Hearing this, Liu Jili, the people under the Sima Yu curtain, were so shocked that Zhou Min Deng Ren almost stood up instinctively, and then the rest of the people, such as Fan Wang and Xun Rui Deng Ren also stood up slowly, and then Wang Tanzhi, who was shaken and obviously uneasy, also stood up slowly. No matter what, he was Sima Yu's shadow.

Immediately, looking at his son's stiff figure, Wang Shu also stood up.

But some people still didn't get up because Wang Huzhi and Xie Yi were still sitting.

"Everyone." Liu Cheng shouted again when he saw this. "Duke of Zhou assists the government and issues documents. Do the princes also have to sit and listen?"

This statement actually makes no sense. Sima Yu is Duke of Zhou's auxiliary. What's the relationship between you Huan Wen and Duke of Zhou? But it doesn't matter. Few people can think about it seriously at this time. The main reason for this statement is that it is powerful and loud!

It can be regarded as the lion's roar of Buddhism.

Sure enough, Wang Huzhi, who was obviously not thinking well, actually stood up tremblingly while holding on to the chair after hearing this. At this moment, Xie Yi also stood up helplessly.

As soon as the two stood up, the last few people stopped insisting, and everyone present stood up and stood in silence.

Gao Song glanced at the crowd and slowly began to read the final piece of retreat that several people had jointly drafted:

"One said: Xianbei invades the border and leads the territory to share the responsibility. North and South's people have the responsibility of defending the territory; the divisions of the east and west also have the ambition of death and Sui Sui. To the north, all Commandery Administrator Generals should work together and listen to the restraints of the governors of the various states. Generals should be responsible for their commander-in-chief, rewards and punishments for military merit, and do it in a clear manner, so as not to waste Elite Soldier's lives without gaining anything.

"Furthermore, when the imperial court is appointed as a government official, the priority should be to fight against barbarians, so as not to turn the palace into a ruin of grain and millet again.

"Second: To guide the young king, all ministers should follow Prince of Kuaiji, work hard and die. When employing people in the dynasty, they must open up a clear path, select talents and appoint them. There are ministers in the prefectures and counties, they must abide by the king's regulations, serve as governors of the government, and should inherit the clear words of the platform, pavilion, state and government.

"Three: The national resources are in short supply. In this critical period, we must practice economy. If there are nobles and ministers who favor personal interests and neglect the public affairs, and indulge in pleasure and cut off warehouses and waste manpower, in this critical autumn, they should regard it as a major national event. If the family has a private plan, even if the relatives are very important, it can be registered as Court Commandant. If the household is a small citizen and is willing to lose money and try its best to serve the public, it is better to follow the example of Zigong and redeem people, add rewards and gifts according to the amount, and confer official titles.

"Fourth said: Since the southern crossing, there have been many devastations, so those who can survive across the Hu are not only the reason why the northern barbarians used the Hu to approach the Han, they must be abolished in twenty years, but also because the Zhengshuo of our dynasty is still there, and the virtue of unity from top to bottom is one. Today's gathering of Wen and Yu Jiangxin is an example of this intention, so it should be announced to the world.

"My lords, when the country is in a difficult situation, it is advisable to pursue the old tradition of Chancellor Wang and work hard for the royal family to defeat Shenzhou. It is useless to cry in front of the new pavilion, which is just a useless sorrow."

That night, there was a big earthquake Jiankang.

In the evening, after Sima Yu, who had been hiding all day, listened to relevant reports from his three close subordinates Gao Song, Liu Jili, and Wang Tanzhi, he inexplicably asked a question that no one cared about, "So, no one asked you where Prince of Wuling went?"

"Yes." Not only Gao Song, but also Liu Jili and Wang Tanzhi could only say this.

Sima Yu nodded slowly and closed his eyes for a moment.

As a politician and a politician... Although in Liu Cheng's opinion, Huan Wen is somehow a higher politician than this one, but he is still a politician and a politician... Prince of Kuaiji knows very well that cooperation with Huan Wen actually has the implicit meaning of seeking the skin of a tiger, and it may not be a big problem in the future.

If his brother and Inner Residence's accidents hadn't happened one after another, which greatly stimulated him and made him urgently need to regain that sense of control, he might not have approved of this meeting.

However, at this moment, he felt that he was comfortable enough.

He had had sores for more than ten years, and this one and that one stopped him with a smile, not letting him dig them out, but today he dug them out, but it just stayed like that.

After a long time, Sima Yu, who had finished feeling satisfied, slowly stood up and took down a post with huge handwriting from the desk. On it were dragons and phoenixes, and there were seven words: "Big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate". The handwriting had already dried up, and it seemed as if it had been written for a long time before he handed it to Wang Tanzhi.

"Wendu." Sima Yu said with a smile. "This is Yulong's words to describe the wonderful sound of Xie Renzu's pipa. When I found out, I thought it was wonderful. I wrote it seven or eight times today, and this word is the best. And just when you came in, I thought that wonderful things are connected. Doesn't this word coincide with the talents, virtues, loyalty and sincerity of your father and son? So I gave it to you."

Wang Tanzhi took it silently, feeling a mixture of bad but happy emotions in his heart.

------I like to be the dividing line of the jade plate------
